0856 Cavalry Attack
The cavalry, who had been in full swing for a whole day, opened the food bags and fed a few beans to the war horses. They also drank a few sips of water with their skins. The war horses were about to work hard, and they always had to replenish their physical strength.
After two minutes, all the cavalry had already boarded the horse and prepared for the battle. Zu Dabi and others also boarded the horse and sorted out the weapons and armor.
After packing up, Zu Dabi called someone and said, "Send someone to talk to Lord Zhu and Eunuch Gao. It's time to prepare for a counterattack! Open the camp gate!"
At this time, there were almost 9,000 cavalrymen in the camp. This was already the mobile force that Zhu Dadian had prepared for as much as possible. Of course, the main force of the cavalry must be the more than 4,000 people of the Guanning Army.
A large number of cavalry slowly walked out of the camp gate. As soon as they left the camp gate, the brigade of cavalry began to slowly accelerate. The cavalry, which was nearly 10,000 people, could not hide its traces at all. The news was immediately reported to Kong Youde.
Kong Youde gritted his teeth and cursed: "The bastards Guan Ningjun are so accurate!"
A large group of cavalry from the Ming army appeared, but Kong Youde really didn't want to fight with the cavalry of the Guanning army. Because he knew very well, his temporary cavalry would definitely not be able to defeat the Guanning army! This is also the reason why he has been slow to transfer the 10,000 infantry away.
If those ten thousand infantry were not transferred, then they would not dare to say that they could defeat the Guanning Army if they cooperated with their cavalry to fight the Guanning Army, but it would be absolutely fine to hold them back!
But Zu Dabi's attack was indeed a good idea! Now the infantry can't come back, and then the Guanning Army appeared! It depends on the strength of the cavalry on both sides.
Whether Kong Youde was willing to give up or not, he still ordered the 10,000 infantry soldiers on the left wing to withdraw as soon as possible, trying to strengthen the defensive power of the left wing.
But Zu Dabi didn't give him this time. After the war horses ran to warm up, Zu Dabi and his friends rushed towards the rebel cavalry!
The rebel cavalry were not stupid either. It was impossible to wait for the opponent's attack on the spot. If they dared to stay there, Zu Dabi would be able to cut them as a target! Say a thousand and tell ten thousand, and the cavalry without speed was even worse than infantry! So they could only bare the bullet and ride the horse to meet them!
One cavalry from both sides
When you move, you can see the difference between the two sides. The rebel cavalry could barely maintain the formation when they just ran, but when they were lifted, their true colors would be revealed! The riding skills were good and rushed to the front, and the riding skills were bad. The entire formation was extremely scattered!
As for the Guanning Army, they actually formed a triangular storm formation while running! Zu Dabi and several other generals were at the tip of the storm formation!
Behind the Guanning Army's vanguard formation, other cavalry barely maintained a rough formation. These cavalry were pieced together by various battalions. They were either servants or grassroots officers, so their qualities were generally above the level line, barely keeping up with the rhythm of the Guanning Army.
At this time, the combat pace of infantry on both sides slowed down. Because both sides realized that the key to the victory or defeat was no longer on them, but on the two cavalrymen who were about to fight!
Whoever wins can use the mobility of the cavalry to get close to the infantry and disrupt their formation. Then drive away the defeated soldiers to rush forward. This is already a fixed routine for war.
The cavalry on both sides were roughly equal, and the number of rebels was slightly larger. However, the formation of the rebels was loose, and it seemed that the Guanning Army had more numbers and its momentum was even more terrifying!
The cavalry of both sides approached quickly and then collided! It was amazing to collided together! Countless blood flowers immediately collided! The neighing of the war horses and the screams of the cavalry hanging in all directions were intertwined, which was particularly shrill!
Both sides were very imposing when they hedge, and when they really met, they would see the difference. Because most of the people who were dismissed were rebel cavalry! What’s even more unlucky is that because the cavalry formation of the rebels was very loose, they could not get reinforcements from each other. As a result, they were subjected to continuous attacks when facing the Guanning Army!
If you block a knife, you can't stop the second knife that follows you! So the first hedge between the two sides, the Guanning Army was exploring a bloody path among the rebel cavalry!
Zu Dashou, Wu Sangui and others in the front row were even more ferocious, with blood coming from swords and swords, and guns fatal! It was like entering a state of no one!
When the first hedging ended, Zu Dabi slowly strangled the horse, stood up with his legs and looked back and knew it. Zu Dabi was on the side of his body.
He rode his horse back and prepared for a second charge, while calling Wu Xiang and a few others to give him a face-to-face advice.
After Zu Dabi arranged everything, he raised his sword and pointed forward. The Guanning cavalry accelerated again and began to charge forward. The opponent's cavalry obviously hesitated for a moment before starting to accelerate.
However, due to their lack of confidence, their formation became even looser. In Zu Dabi's opinion, it was like giving him a head to cut him down!
As expected by Zu Dabi, the rebel cavalry had no intention of fighting at all! Their combat ability and courage had long been fully exposed in the hedging just now!
The Guanning Army's second charge easily penetrated the formation of the rebel cavalry again and rushed out of a bloody road among the rebel cavalry! On the way to the Guanning Army's charge, there were trampled corpses of people and horses lying on!
After Zu Dabi and his team passed through the formation this time, they did not rush to stop the war horses and prepare for the third charge. Instead, they slowly turned around after the charge and divided into two clusters. One of them was led by Zu Dabi, and the other cluster was led by Jin Guochen. The two teams began to slowly press over the rebel cavalry who were rushed into two regiments. Moreover, their formation was no longer an assault formation, but two curved half-moon formations!
The rebel cavalry was frightened when they saw it! It was obvious that they wanted to wrap us all! But accidentally, their officers let Wu Sangui kill him with one shot! The rebel cavalry had no leader for a while! In addition, these soldiers were scared away by the Guanning Army's reputation before the war started. When they fought again, the other half of their courage disappeared! Now seeing that they were posing in a fierce and prepared to wrap themselves up, someone turned around and ran back.
The two and a half months of movements made by Zu Dabi were not consistent. The cavalry led by Jin Guochen was slower, while the cavalry led by Zu Dabisu was faster. And they also went around a small circle to the west. This vaguely formed a semicircle with Jin Guochen's formation. The semicircular gap faced the east.
