The battalions of the Huaxia Lushun Dispatch Army marched according to the order, and the array was slightly chaotic, and it immediately returned to normal, without giving the Houjin army a chance to take advantage of it.

The new response strategy has been deployed, but after waiting for a while, the enemy side has not made any major movements except for sending a few more teams of scouts to reconnoitre.

Zachdan saw that the other party was not in a hurry, of course he was not in a hurry, he was old and fighting, he had never seen any scenes, he and Chen Xin were surrounded in the No. 1 fortress for so long, didn't they survive, so the two sides waited like this, comparing patience.

Probably because they had been running for too long this morning, in the ranks of the enemy cavalry, suddenly a few horses showed an adverse reaction.

The leading officer of the Houjin Zhongjun thought about it for a while, he was confused by the banner raised by the Huaxia Army, and thought that the "Ming Army" on the opposite side would definitely not take the initiative to attack, so he ordered to rest.

However, the combat habits he had developed from fighting all year round made him subconsciously choose what he thought was the safest plan, and he also had to guard against the Ming army on the opposite side, so he ordered the whole Houjin army to divide into two groups, take turns to rest, and feed the war horses.

Looking at half of the centaurs separated and fed the beans to the Houjin Army, Zachdan's eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth showed a smug arc, "Finally fooled, this lice-growing Ming army's coat is not worn in vain!" ”

Saying this, Zachdan raised his right hand at the same time and made an extremely conspicuous gesture.

The platoon commander of the communications platoon personally held the command flag, ran to the commander of the cavalry battalion, pointed the red pennant diagonally forward, and the military horn sounded, and more than 500 cavalry battalion soldiers, plus 100 cavalry company cavalrymen, formed a charging group together, and at the same time instigated the horses to start advancing.

Battalion Commander Hou galloped at the front of the team on a war horse, and he needed to accurately judge the distance to ensure that he could engage the enemy at the highest speed of the charge.

At present, they are 800 meters away from the enemy, and they have to keep a slow pace to about 300 meters, and charging at full speed at a distance of 300 meters is their most proficient training subject.

The difficulty of this project was how to maintain a dense formation while maintaining the safety of the cavalry personnel while gradually increasing the speed.

However, despite the difficulty of the project, after more than two years of rigorous training, the more than 500 cavalry battalion cavalry cavalry were able to launch a charge at a distance of up to 500 meters.

And the more than 100 cavalry of the guard company, but they came out of the guard flag team, and they are not inferior to all professional arms in the military combat projects of various sections, after all, they are all carefully selected elites.

More than 600 war horses of the Huaxia Army slowly advanced, and the twelve platoon commanders who had made significant marks behind them crossed the array and came to about 10 meters in front of the right side of the queue.

Their rifles were already loaded with bayonets, and on the bayonets were hung a bright red cavalry flag.

The flag was held high above the head with the rifle standing at his side, so that the cavalrymen in the back row could also see it, and adjust it according to the position of the flag at a fixed distance.

These platoon commanders need to turn their heads from time to time to observe the position of the battalion flag in front of them and make adjustments.

In this way, the whole battalion relied on the flag as a mark, uniformly adjusted and controlled its horse speed, so that the entire cavalry array could safely and straighten in the direction of the Houjin army.

The cavalry, which consisted of less than 100 men in the guard company, did not join the ranks of the cavalry battalion.

Although their military skills and tactical literacy were no worse than those of the cavalry battalion, after all, they had never trained together, let alone participated in actual combat or exercises together, and there was no tacit understanding between them.

In order not to cause misunderstandings due to the different habits in training, the guard company consciously came to the back of the dense cavalry line and adopted a follow-up strategy, and their cavalry team of less than 100 people formed a loose fourth line of shock queues behind.

Because of the lack of a column, they did not force a line charge, but only gathered together according to the formation of three or five cavalry and followed at a distance of 30 meters from the third column of the cavalry line, acting as a reserve cavalry to attack the enemy cavalry that broke through the front line.

The soldiers and officers of the two infantry battalions lined up on the top of the hill were also in a state of excitement as they watched the cavalry advancing slowly and listened to the thunderous rumbling of war horses.

A small number of new officers who did not have much experience in actual combat also began to shake their hands, and subconsciously clenched the reins. However, the person who can stand out from so many competitors every year and go through layers of selection to become an officer is not a brainless reckless man, but he was excited, and he tried his best to suppress that impulse and silently prepared for battle.

Just when everyone on the hill was thinking wildly, 800 meters away in the Houjin army, the Chinese army sounded the horn, and the Houjin cavalry, who had already dismounted and rested, were startled, and then immediately adjusted the queue in a panic, ready to fight.

I have to say that the timing chosen by Zachdan is really good, the enemy's resting war horses, half-full, are on the rise, and are suddenly interrupted by the riders to eat, the depression can be imagined.

After all, they are animals, not people who can listen to persuasion, so some of the war horses have a small temperament and keep losing their temper.

But when is it now, the enemy's cavalry has begun to charge, where will the cavalry of Houjin have time to pacify the unfed war horses? can only quickly cut through the mess, pull those disobedient war horses out of the queue, and appease them alone. The other well-behaved horses joined the vigilant cavalry to meet the enemy.

In a hurry, the team must not be able to be organized, but fortunately, the Mongolian cavalry who played the vanguard had good riding skills and were at the forefront, so the commander of the Houjin Zhongjun immediately ordered the Mongolian cavalry to go forward and harass the cavalry that came to them.

As soon as the Mongolian cavalry scouts moved, the scouts of the second reconnaissance battalion who were on the front line, monitoring them, would not sit idly by, and hurriedly met them, intercepting the other party, and not letting the enemy interfere with their own sprinting cavalry.

The Mongol cavalry also knew what was going on, and when they saw that they were blocked by the scouts, they immediately reacted, and they divided into organized squads to form a seemingly scattered formation. Disperse to the wings.

After these Mongol cavalry passed through the scouts' blockade, they were far away in front of the flanks of the Chinese cavalry charging array, and they continued to shoot feathered arrows with their cavalry bows.

"Damn, it's Mangu."

Any officer with a little experience in fighting the Mongol cavalry can recognize this tactic at a glance, and this is the most commonly used "mangu" tactic of the Mongol cavalry.

In the time of Gengus Khan, the "Mangugu" was one of the Mongols' housekeeping skills, and when they used this tactic, they generally used a team of 1,000 men to form a wide arc-shaped skirmish line to harass the enemy's formation.

The commander controls the skirmishers to lure the enemy out of formation or waver, while the cavalry clusters in the rear look for the enemy's weak position and concentrate the assault, causing the entire enemy formation to collapse.

Because it was an extremely effective tactic that always worked, it has been passed down all the time.

Now, when the 2nd Cavalry Battalion was charging head-on for the first time, they actually encountered this tactic, and the hearts of some new officers on the hill suddenly hung in the air.
