However, the worries of the new officers had not yet been fully expressed, and they were calmed by the steady style of the old officers around them.

The new officers all know that the old-timers have not only not studied in the lecture hall, but also have rich experience in actual combat, and the old officers must also know what they can think of.

But now the position was quiet, and none of the old officers made a sound of surprise, which was enough to show that the situation was not critical.

Sure enough, it was immediately clear.

On the front line, the Houjin cavalry, which rushed to the front of the second cavalry battalion, did not have the level of the Mongol army led by Genghis Khan. Or it can be said that these current cavalry do not have that strong confidence to sweep the world.

Now, their harassment of the Second Cavalry Battalion is more like a trouble-making operation, and the equipment of the cavalry battalion, in addition to the self-developed protective equipment, has also absorbed the advantages of thousands of years of Chinese cavalry history.

It was like the first row of cavalry arrays, and all these horses that rushed to the front had a mask made of thick cowhide on their heads.

In addition, on the chest of the war horse, a curtain against arrows was made based on the knowledge in the book, which could resist light arrows with a small angle of attack.

Of the more than 100 horses in the first row, only 7 of them were shot and wounded during the long period of anxiety on both sides, and only three needed to retire to rest.

The cavalry in the first row pushed out of the array, and when they returned to the rear to rest, the cavalry following in the second row of the array quickly stepped forward and filled the vacancy.

By this time, the cavalry of the reconnaissance battalion had already rushed over, and they took over the defense of the flanks of the cavalry battalion, brandishing their weapons, and engaged in a guerrilla fight with the enemy cavalry who had come to harass them.

The arrival of the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion successfully restrained the play of most of the opponent's rangers, liberated the shock array of the cavalry battalion, and three dense arrays plus a column of scattered reserve cavalry continued to advance in the direction of the enemy's large force in the face of scattered harassing light arrows.

The gentle speed brought the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, and as the array slowly formed and fixed, the sound of horses' hooves began to be neat, and the sound waves caused by the resonance made the Houjin troops who were still in the whole team in front of the cavalry array look a little flustered.

The two sides approached rapidly, and when the distance reached more than 400 meters, the battalion flag in the hands of the riders next to the battalion commander Hou leaned forward according to the order, and the trumpeter blew out the second round of advance horns, and the battalion commander Hou gently clamped the horse's belly, and the war horse, which had been with him for more than two years, jumped lightly and began to speed up and jog.

Battalion Commander Hou, as the leader of the team, has always galloped in the front row of the battalion, he ignored the light arrows flying from afar, and while running, he also observed left and right whether his array met the tactical requirements.

More than 600 cavalrymen began to jog, all the eyes were surging war horse heads, the company and platoon commander in the front row of the queue were all according to the speed of their own battalion commanders, effectively controlling the team, the array was not chaotic because of the sporadic residual harassment, the results of more than two years of hard training were finally reflected, and the array was still as stable as on the training ground.

At this speed, the originally neat sound of horses' hooves became chaotic again, but as the whole team completed again, the messy sound of horses' hooves on the gentle slope slowly walked in the direction of the right rhythm again.

After another 100 meters, there was no longer a chaotic sound, and the dense sound of horses' hooves slowly converged into a neat loud sound, and in Zachdan's ears, the sound of the horse's hooves in the impact of the cavalry battalion on the hillside at this moment was like fairy music.

Zachdan carefully observed the troops of the enemy and us who were about to make formal contact with him with a telescope, and with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he suddenly ordered loudly, "All infantry, move forward." ”

The trumpets of the infantry battalions sounded immediately, and with the sound of the order, the neat footsteps of the two infantry battalions sounded on the ground, and the bright bayonets flashed with cold light, surging forward like waves.

The infantry artillery crews also towed the infantry guns in their armor, quietly followed behind the infantry battalion, and slowly approached the enemy together.

For the movements of the infantry of the Huaxia Army, the Houjin Army has no time to take care of it, and is about to face the impact of a cavalry team, but until now, they have not even sorted out half of the team, where is they still interested in caring about the infantry on the opposite side that cannot reach them in the short term.

The distance between the cavalry battalion and the enemy army was soon only 300 meters, but Battalion Commander Hou knew that the enemy would not sit still, and even if it was impossible to put all the formations in order, the enemy would force a counter-charge.

Because, the biggest advantage of cavalry is speed, if a cavalry stays in place, it is the same as a tiger with teeth drawn, there is no threat.

The officers of the Houjin Army are also military exploits that have fought against various forces for decades, and they are unwilling to make such low-level mistakes.

Therefore, when Battalion Commander Hou calculated the distance, he made a half discount for the 300 meters, as if it was only 150 meters to calculate, and at this last moment, he had already begun the countdown and prepared for the final sprint.

This smooth, tight, as if it were a moving wall, began to show some benefits as the distance from the enemy army approached.

With such a tight formation in front of them, the Mongolian cavalry who were originally fighting with the Chinese scouts in the gap between the Houjin and the Huaxia cavalry no longer had much room for maneuver.

In front of the dense cavalry, they found that if they were not careful, they would be crushed by several long knives at the same time, so the Mongolian cavalry, who had never thought of serving the Houjin Eight Banners, naturally retreated.

When the rangers and scouts who were harassing in the middle retreated, the Houjin cavalry army appeared in front of Commander Hou completely.

In the cavalry array of the Houjin Army, the iron armor was polished extremely brightly, as if they were in a beauty pageant one by one.

Most of their weapons are tiger guns, broadswords, three-pointed and two-edged knives, etc., and of course, there are also heavy weapons such as hand hammers, maces, knives and sticks, iron bones, etc.

Seeing that the ranger interception did not work, most of the Houjin cavalry, who had already completed the whole team, also began to jog in a strict array at the sound of a horn.

However, this kind of "strict order" is only relative to the cavalry in the Ming Lushun garrison that I have seen before.

Compared with the charging array of the cavalry battalion, the array of the cavalry of the Later Jin Army is much wider, and the strength is not evenly distributed. As soon as I started jogging, I was a little scattered, and I didn't see the gap narrow after running for a while.

Battalion Commander Hou was enthusiastic for a while, and ordered loudly, "Speed up." ”

Another trumpet sounded as the marching army horn sounded, the standard-bearer turned the battalion flag in his hand and then tilted forward, and the twelve platoon commanders shouted orders at the same time, and the pennant on the rifle bayonet leaned forward again.

All the Chinese cavalry heard the sound of the trumpet, and almost at the same time beat the horses to accelerate, the rumbling of the horses' hooves was like the sound of thunder and lightning from far and near in the sky, and the rows of cavalry helmets imitated the red cherry trees made of Han Dynasty helmet cherries were constantly beating, like countless flickering red flames.
