Zachdan is the brother whom Chen Xin trusts, and he is also a figure who has played an important role in the development of the Chinese army from scratch, from weak to strong.

Zakdan has been participating in the army and presiding over various military meetings, intelligence meetings, and government meetings all year round, so he is very aware of the domestic policy of war against Houjin, which is mainly aimed at destroying the enemy's living forces.

In particular, it is necessary to pay attention to eliminating the gainers under the Eight Banners system and striking at the foundation on which the Eight Banners system depends, and even, for this purpose, we can not care about the gains and losses of one city or one place, and between killing and injuring the backbone of the enemy's army and seizing the city, the main thing is to kill and injure the backbone of the enemy's army.

Under the influence of this policy, Zachdan had made various plans before encountering the enemy, all of which were about how to defeat the enemy and completely leave all the enemy behind.

He believed that the troops he led would definitely deal a severe blow to any incoming enemy, but once the Houjinduo cavalry was frightened, no longer entangled, and retreated directly, it would be completely contrary to the policy of destroying the enemy's living forces.

At that point, you will find yourself in an awkward situation where you are constantly winning and then fighting the enemy.

Therefore, in the battle with Houjin, the most important thing is to strengthen the use of cavalry, so that this branch of the army will become the new main force in the battle against Houjin in the future.

The second cavalry battalion in his hand, this time, was the first time to face a cavalry team that outnumbered his own side.

They themselves knew very well that their cavalry force, which had only 500 men, was the second cavalry battalion formed in the 1st Cavalry Regiment, and that they had been training for more than two years, and that one of their battalions had consumed more funds than an infantry regiment that was not yet fully formed.

The First Cavalry Regiment, which was formed by just three battalions plus some logistics and auxiliary units, has already consumed more funds than three full-fledged ordinary infantry regiments.

The daily training is an intensive queue charge, shooting, and fighting ······. But their record is lackluster, after all, in the past, they could only bully and bully the weak.

During the four-year battle, the number of cavalry owned by the enemy was too large, and the cavalry units of the Huaxia Army had not yet been trained, so in that battle, there was no case of head-on confrontation with a large group of enemy cavalry.

And after that battle, the side has never encountered a force worthy of using cavalry to hedge, so far, in terms of group combat, the Chinese cavalry is still pink and pink, and has not played an important role.

However, although it was a newcomer on the big scene, every officer and soldier of the cavalry unit believed that they were no worse than any cavalry in the world, and all they needed was a decent opponent to prove themselves.

Also, as the commander-in-chief of today's battle, Zachdan.

Zakdan had been by Chen Xin's side for too long, and after the army grew, Chen Xin's protection of him was too good, so that so far, he, an important general of the Chinese military, had never commanded a decent battle alone.

Therefore, this time, he finally won this opportunity to lead the troops alone under the pretext of Chen Xin's last "willful" incident, because he also needed a chance to prove himself.

Dense black dots appeared on the hills in the distance, and the Lushun dispatch army was busy, and all the officers waiting to meet the enemy picked up the binoculars hanging on their chests and observed.

In the lenses, it is clearly seen that the cavalry of the Houjin Army on the opposite side swept over the hillside under the guidance of their respective blue Niu Lu flags, stepping on the winter land with puffs of smoke and dust.

As time passed, more and more Houjin cavalry joined the ranger combat with the second battalion of their own reconnaissance.

The Jurchens who were born in fishing and hunting in the Later Jin army were far inferior to the Mongols in riding skills, so most of the scouts, rangers, etc. who ran at the forefront of the enemy army were Mongolian cavalry.

These Mongolian cavalrymen, who have lived on horseback since childhood, flexibly control their war horses to and from the open hills and plains, and cooperate with their companions to gather and disperse and look for opportunities with the tacit understanding they have cultivated during grazing and hunting.

When they found a good opportunity, or thought they had found a good opportunity, the Mongol cavalry would attack with their bows to deter the scout cavalry who came to harass and delay them.

The sound of black powder explosion and the ringing of the bowstring of the cavalry were heard in the distance, and their own side was scattered in the surrounding area, and the other soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion who had been reinforced after receiving the order also rushed to the battlefield one after another, and the white smoke from the flintlock pistol continued to spew out, and from time to time someone fell off his horse, and the situation on the killing ground was extremely fierce.

When Houjin's rear team approached quickly and was about to make peace with the scouts at the outpost, the reconnaissance cavalry of the Huaxia Army also began to retreat while fighting.

At this time, the soldiers at the forefront of both sides began to control the rhythm, and the sound of gunpowder explosion of "ping pong" and the release of bowstrings of "bang bang" were all intertwined.

Although the two sides seemed to be fighting very lively, the officers who counted the statistics in the telescope could see that the losses of both the enemy and the enemy were not large at this time.

The revolver flintlock pistol used by the Huaxia Army is a smoothbore gun, and it is good to shoot with the correct posture on a stable ground, but in the fierce chase, the accuracy can be said to be miserable.

The Mongol cavalry was also half-hearted, and the Mongols, who had declined, were unable to find good materials, so the cavalry bows in their hands were of inferior quality.

The power of this inferior color is relatively weak, and it is difficult to penetrate the chain mail of this era at close range, let alone riding and shooting in the bumpy and undulating state of a galloping war horse.

However, even if both sides have a tacit understanding and are unwilling to fight again when the tactical goal is achieved, there are always some tenacious guys in this world, who will do some radical behaviors in the case of killing red eyes, such as shooting horses.

Such people exist at all times, and today, among the scouts and scouts on both sides of the enemy, they appear at the same time.

The human target is small, and at a long distance, whether it is a smoothbore pistol or a riding bow, it is not very effective, so these red-eyed warriors use the weapons in their hands to deal with those war horses that look many times larger and can be hit.

Zakdan held up the binoculars and found that the losses caused to both the enemy and the enemy by the chaotic actions of these guys actually exceeded the results that had not been achieved in the previous ten minutes.

The cavalry of both sides lost more than 10 men each, and basically all of them were casualties caused by the shooting down of their mounts.

Comrades were killed or wounded, and the surrounding soldiers naturally could not sit idly by, so a tacit contact that was about to end turned into a fierce confrontation again.

The dozens of scout cavalry who rushed to the scene during this period of time, in the ensuing confrontation, because of the arrival of the enemy's rear team, appeared very passive, and after rescuing all the wounded, they retreated to their own positions.
