(Happy Lantern Festival, everyone!) Today's chapter is presented, please collect and subscribe!! ）

Bang bang bang......

There was another fierce burst of gunfire......

Immediately, Lean saw the soldiers around him fall, his eyes did not blink, and he rushed forward frantically with a large sword.

Finally, this distance was only fifty paces, and Le'an with more than a hundred blue-flaged tartars finally rushed to the white dragon saber and shield soldiers.

At this time, Lean was still not shot and died, and he was fatal, and there were only seventy or eighty Tartars left with him.

They collided head-on with the shield array of the White Dragon Army's sword and shield soldiers, and immediately after, there were bright spear heads piercing from behind the shield array.

When the White Dragon Army Bird Gunner was twenty paces away, he fired the last shot, took the initiative to retreat, and replaced the pikemen behind him, ready for them to engage in melee hand-to-hand combat.

And this time, the White Dragon Army did not directly melee with the Tartars as before, but put on their best 'spear iron bucket formation'.

The foot soldiers who pressed in front this time were Liu Chong's soldiers who 'trapped the camp', and they changed and cooperated with the simplest spear array and shield formation, turning it into this kind of 'spear and iron bucket array' that was difficult to break.

In the end, the seventy or eighty Tartar soldiers led by Lean were destined to hit their heads and bleed in front of this 'spear and iron bucket array', shedding their last drop of blood.

Poof......

Just as Lean was frantically ramming, slashing the shield with a long knife, trying to break through the shield array and kill the white dragon sergeant behind him.

A spear stabbed out of the gap in his shield and stabbed directly into his ribs.

Peng......

Lean fell, gasping for breath, feeling the strength of his body passing quickly, his eyes looking at the sky, and smiling slightly.

He felt relieved.

"Why, why are our invincible Qing warriors planted in the hands of this Ming army this time, why ......?"

This is what Lean was still thinking about before he died.

Peng......

As the last Tartar soldier of the charge fell, the battle was finally over, leaving behind corpses and countless wounded Tartars still screaming and wailing.

This time, the White Dragon Army ate this Tartar team of more than 1,000 people almost at the cost of casualties.

"It's over."

Li Zixiao muttered to himself in a low voice, Tartar's final death charge still gave him a great shock.

He believed that if it was replaced at this time, it was the Tartar army that besieged a Ming army of thousands of people, and the Ming army would never launch such a shocking death charge.

What if it were replaced by their White Dragon Army?

"There is still a long way to go to completely eliminate the Tartars and prevent the future Tartars from entering the Central Plains, and I still need to do a lot."

After Li Zixiao saw the fierceness of the Tartar soldiers today, even if he won in the end, he still sighed in his heart.

………………………………………………………………

And at this time, in the northwest direction, more than ten miles away, a tragic cavalry duel was also underway, and the battle here was much more tragic than Li Zixiao's side.

"Kill!"

Luo Chao rode on the war horse to kill, brandished the silver spear in his hand, and rushed to the front, and a group of White Dragon Army cavalry behind him formed a cone formation, and the Tatar cavalry led by Zabek in front of him rushed together.

The tactics of cavalry duel generally rely on the acceleration of the war horse to disperse the enemy's formation, as long as the enemy's formation is scattered, one of the sides will be white.

At this time, you will see that in this cold and desolate northern land, three cavalry formations numbering six or seven hundred horsemen are all maintaining a tight formation.

The three cavalry teams, like three long dragons, entwined and collided in this northern land.

The first cavalry team led by Luo Chao was responsible for confronting the Tatar cavalry head-on at this time, while Qi Wei's second cavalry team charged in a roundabout way and attacked the flank and rear of the Tatar cavalry.

This is the advantage of the White Dragon Army's cavalry, they are almost twice as numerous as the Tartar cavalry, and they have more tactical options to choose from, so it can be said that they have a certain advantage.

"Kill!"

The cavalry team led by Luo Chao was the first to collide with the Tartar cavalry.

"Shoot the arrows!"

When the cavalry of both sides rushed to a distance of no more than fifty or sixty paces from each other, Zabek roared, and the Tartar horsemen showed their best tricks, riding and shooting.

One by one, the Tartar cavalrymen, with their legs on the belly of their horses, were about to stand upright on their horses, and their hands were off the reins of their horses, and they opened their bows and arrows.

If the cavalry wants to do this, it is not something that can be trained overnight, and at this time, the war horse running at high speed is as fast as a bumpy car.

In this case, if you don't pay attention to it, you will be thrown out by the war horse, and this kind of difficult cavalry shooting can only be done by the Tartar cavalry now.

And among the Ming army, not to mention the White Dragon Army, it is the most elite Guanning Iron Cavalry, which is beyond the reach of the dust in this regard.

Puff puff......

With the help of high-speed galloping horses, the Tartar cavalry shoots arrows with strong penetrating power, which can easily penetrate multiple layers of armor.

In this wave of arrow rain, more than 20 cavalrymen of the White Dragon Army were hit, either by arrows from their horses, or by their own arrows, and they fell off their horses.

At this time, when the White Dragon Army charged in such a dense cavalry formation, no matter what the situation was, there was only one end, and that was death.

Even if he didn't die from an arrow, after falling the war horse, he would be trampled to death by the hooves of his comrades who followed closely behind.

Faced with this situation, Li Zixiao was helpless, there was no way to solve it, once the cavalry charged at this time, it could not stop.

The two sides were so close that they were all running at high speed, and the Tartar cavalry could only shoot a rain of arrows, so they put away their bows and arrows, drew their sabers, and prepared to charge at close range.

On the side of the White Dragon Army, although it could not reach the ability of the Tartars to ride and shoot, Li Zixiao raised his strengths and avoided his weaknesses, and equipped each of the White Dragon Army cavalry with a horse plastic more than two meters long.

This is their disposable weapon.

The cavalry on both sides finally collided together, and Luo Chao directly threw a horse plastic in his hand as a throwing spear, directly piercing a tartar in the front.

The powerful impact force made this horse plastic penetrate the body of this Tartar cavalry, and then pierced into the war horse of a Tartar cavalry behind, and the horse fell and died.

Puff puff......

In the hands of the cavalry of the White Dragon Army, the long horse sculptures erected towards the front directly penetrated the body of the Tartar cavalry, wearing it like a sugar gourd.

The standard equipment of the cavalry of the White Dragon Army at this time, a piece of iron-inlaid cotton armor, a horse plastic, a sabre, a bow, and thirty arrows, can actually be regarded as light cavalry.

The horse sculpture in the hands of the cavalry of the White Dragon Army, the first time they hit the enemy or the enemy's war horse, they will withdraw, otherwise they will be shocked out in the next second.

Immediately, they will also draw their sabers and slash at the enemies who rush past them.

Luo Chao's cavalry team and the Tartar cavalry led by Zabek were like two sets of dragons entwined with each other at this time, using each other's claws to frantically tear each other's bodies.

Luo Chao rushed to the front, moving around on his horse, extremely nimble, dodging the saber that the Tartar cavalry slashed at him.

And the silver spear in his hand is like a deadly poisonous snake, every time he shoots, he will be able to stab a Tartar cavalryman.

And the White Dragon Army cavalry behind him, of course, can't be compared with him, they will only bend over, lean back and other simple dodge actions, compared to the Tartar cavalry are more rigid.

And their means of attack are one, chopping, relying on the speed of the war horse, seeing the enemy, and cutting down accurately and ruthlessly.

On the other end, Zabek led the Tartar cavalry, with a broad-faced machete in his hand, opening and closing widely, and with each chop, a White Dragon Army cavalry soldier fell off his horse.

This charge lasted for a long time, and the cavalry teams of both sides 'passed by' each other, leaving behind corpses and horses scattered on the battlefield without anyone on them.

After the hedging was over, the two sides switched positions.

Zabek lost more than 120 horses with a few men, looking at the bloody road paved entirely with blood, stumps and broken arms.

Zabek's ugly face, splattered with blood, became even more hideous and terrifying.

"Damn, I couldn't break up this Minggou cavalry, it's the first time I've seen these Minggou cavalry in such a tight formation."

Zabek's eyes were red, like a brutal wolf, and he said viciously at this time.

According to Zabek's idea, he relied on the Tartar spirit cavalry in his hand to charge down in one round, as long as he could break up the cavalry formation of the White Dragon Army, the battle was basically over.

However, he didn't expect that the cavalry of the White Dragon Army, which had more than 600 people, put on a tight charging formation, and they rushed through, never heading, and always kept the formation from dispersing.

Luo Chao is not stupid, he understands the length and weakness between his cavalry and the Tatar cavalry, and the individual combat ability of the Tatar cavalry is definitely much stronger than the cavalry of the White Dragon Army.

Therefore, he ordered his cavalry to use this dense charge formation that they had trained on weekdays, so as not to give the Tartars a chance to scatter them and hunt alone.

His charging formation has high requirements for coordination, but it also makes up for the shortcomings that their individual combat ability is not as good as that of the Tartar cavalry.

In the face of this dense charging formation, like a long dragon rushing through, a cavalry of the White Dragon Army in front failed to kill the Tartar, and a cavalry in the back would follow to make up for the sword.

As a result, the first impact of the two sides passed, and both sides maintained a complete formation, did not let each other seize the opportunity, and after exchanging positions, they re-confronted each other.

"General Qiyu, the count is complete, we have lost one hundred and seventy-three horsemen in this charge." A guard next to him replied to Luo Chao, his voice choked.

"Well, the Tartar cavalry is really extraordinary, and my father is right."

Luo Chao touched his face with his hand, and the blood droplets splashed on it made his handsome face become fierce.

"It's only more challenging to defeat an enemy like that."

Luo Chao whispered, his eyes showed a fierce light of war, and he roared loudly: "The whole team reorganizes the formation and equips the charge!" ”

"General, General Luo's subordinates have suffered a lot of losses, after charging like this a few times, it is estimated that they will be gone, they are not the opponents of the Tartars."

At this time, the second cavalry team led by Qi Wei on one side was still galloping around the battlefield at a low speed, while maintaining a tight formation and not participating in the battle.

"Wait, it's not time for us to strike."

Qi Wei was like a wandering wolf at this time, staring at the two fierce wolves fighting, ready to pounce at the right time and give the Tartar cavalry a fatal blow.

Don't look at the second cavalry team led by Qi Wei at this time, they did not participate in the battle, but the pressure he brought to the Tartar cavalry was even greater.

Zabek must be on guard at any time, and the vicious wolf beside him must not show a flaw, otherwise once Qi Wei catches the flaw and pounces on it, then it will be the time when the Tartar cavalry will be defeated.

Therefore, from the beginning of the war to the present, Zabek has always divided his energy and always been vigilant against Qi Wei next to him.

Naturally, Qi Wei led a large group of cavalry of the White Dragon Army and did not participate in the battle for the time being, which relieved them of a lot of pressure, but he actually hoped that Qi Wei's cavalry would kill them head-on like Luo Chao.

Zabek is not bragging, if the wheel cavalry kills face-to-face, their Eight Banner Tatar cavalry has not encountered an opponent in the vast land of the north for a long time.

The Ming army they fought retreated into the Great Wall and did not dare to go out, so they went south to easily surrender Korea and westward to defeat the Mongols.

Now the entire northern steppe is almost entirely the territory of the Tartars, and no one can resist their soldiers.

At this time, the tactics of both sides were very clear, and Luo Chao and Qi Wei on the side of the White Dragon Army set this kind of tactics, which put Luo Chao under a lot of pressure.

The reason why the two of them formulated such tactics was actually to reduce the losses of the White Dragon Army at the beginning.

If they came up directly and fought head-to-head, knife to knife, gun-to-gun and the Tartars, the seven hundred cavalry, it is estimated that they won in the end, and it was also a miserable victory.

And a pyrrhic victory was not the result they wanted.

Now they have set this roundabout tactic, as long as Qi Wei can seize the favorable opportunity to attack, they can scatter and destroy this Tartar cavalry at the lowest cost.

And Zabek, of course, also saw through the intentions of the White Dragon Army, and what he adopted was the method of calculating the plan.

The White Dragon Army wanted to find the most favorable opportunity at this time, so that Qi Wei could decisively cut into the battlefield, divide them, and then eat them away.

But why didn't he want to, in the shortest possible time, first disperse the cavalry team of Luo Chao in front of him, and then concentrate his men, turn his head, and eat Qi Wei's team!

The tactics of both sides are very simple, and they have seen through each other, and the rest depends on who can execute better and who can seize the opportunity in the actual fight.

In fact, there are only so many tactics for cavalry and cavalry to fight, and the generals on both sides are proficient in the art of war and strategy, and it is difficult to appear who has deceived whom.

Now the test of both of them is that in the face of brutal fighting, the soldiers on that side are more tenacious, and the generals on which side have a keener grasp of the timing of the battlefield.

This is the duel between the strong army and the strong army, there is no one-sided massacre, and there is no phenomenon of collapse at the touch of a button, and there is no phenomenon of a thousand miles of escape.

When Luo Chao gave the order to re-form his cavalry and prepare to charge again, Zabek on the opposite side also gave the same order.

"Ma Rui!" Suddenly, Luo Chao called out the name of one of the banner generals that his subordinates valued the most.

"Here!"

Then, a young man behind him who was covered in blood and had a bloody cut on his face rode out on horseback and answered.

"Ma Rui, the situation is more troublesome than we imagined, and the strength of the Tartar on the other side is beyond our expectations.

We have these cavalry in our hands, if we charge once or twice, we can't create a chance for General Qi to attack, and we people are estimated to be broken.

So, now there is a glorious and heavy task for you, and you are willing to take it. ”

Luo Chao looked at Ma Rui seriously and said.

"General, please give an order, Ma Rui must bow to his best and die." Ma Rui patted his chest and said decisively.

"Okay, now I order, you will lead people to carry out the 'halving' tactic, you go down and prepare, and select a group of elite men.

We must succeed in one blow, otherwise it will be difficult for us to succeed if the Tartar is prepared next time. The outcome of this battle depends entirely on you and your banner. ”

"Yes, General, I promise not to disappoint you. In addition, if your subordinates can't go back this time, please tell the general that I, Ma Rui, have always been proud to join the White Dragon Army and serve the general! ”

When Ma Rui said this, he was very calm, and he also knew that he had the greatest chance of dying in the next battle, but he still accepted Luo Chao's order without hesitation.

"Okay, I will."

Luo Chao replied calmly, but his heart was not calm, watching Ma Rui return to his flag without hesitation.

He knew that after this charge, Ma Rui's chances of surviving were very small.

He values Ma Rui very much and has always intended to promote him.

But at this critical moment, he can only use him, because he is the most reliable, and he can't help it, if he wants to win, he must have sacrifice.

"A team of 'Flying Feather' cavalry, ready to charge, kill!"

With Luo Chao's order, the cavalry on both sides rushed towards each other again.
