The left and right wings also took the opportunity to advance quickly in a diagonal line toward the center.

And while moving forward at a fast pace, we are also maintaining a queue.

This is the benefit of regular training.

Although the soldiers were still afraid, the officers' sticks forced them to move forward according to instinct.

"Replace with heavy arrows!"

The white-armored soldiers quickly replaced their heavy arrows, and they took the time to shoot another round.

Suddenly there was another wave of people jumping on their backs.

The 150-person team in the front and center that faced the enemy was killed by more than 60 people. Added together, it far exceeded their upper limit of endurance. They collapsed immediately, turned around and ran away.

At this time, four teams on the left and right wings had reached the shooting range.

Fire again.

Bai Jia fell down three more people.

It was all due to bad luck and he was hit in the head.

More than fifty ordinary bannermen fell.

Finally, when both sides were about to be surrounded, the white armor continued to persist, and the 70 cavalry began to step forward to try to break up the teams on both sides to lead them to retreat.

The cavalry did not charge directly into the formation before, but were prepared to respond.

Relying on the cavalry's charge, the infantry squads on both sides had to stop encircling them.

Instead, be prepared for a counterattack.

The cavalry also quickly fired light arrows from their riding bows, and then turned.

Of course, they also suffered a round of musketry and suffered heavy losses.

The cavalry began to flee quickly. After they connected with some of the infantry, they discovered that their opponent's muskets were too difficult to deal with.

Because they are completely different from those beggar Ming soldiers who threw away their guns and ran away immediately after a round of fighting.

These red-haired men are indeed very brave. Although they just relied on heavy arrows to destroy a small team,

Nearly a hundred people were shot to death.

It can be said that it completely lived up to the reputation of white armor and strong bows and heavy arrows in this era.

Westerners in this era were not yet capable of conquering feudal forces with large manpower such as the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Because even if they don't use muskets and use bows and arrows, they can rely on a large number of archers to defeat the musketeers who can only project a small number of troops.

However, combined with the bastion tactics, it still has a huge advantage. Just like He Hongmao, relying on 2,000 people, he was able to hold out for ten months under the siege of more than 20,000 people from Zheng Chenggong.

But now, Yi Zijia is sent in teams one by one.

They use Western training methods, and the trained line soldiers are standard templates.

At least 20% of them must die, which means two out of 10 people will die before they collapse.

However, this is only theoretical, and actual war is very different from theory.

Real war is not like in a game, where everyone is a group, and the output damage to the opponent is 20%, and then the entire group is overwhelmed and collapsed.

That's not the case at all!

In reality, there are overall casualty ratios and local casualty ratios.

One team was defeated and dispersed, and another team, urged by the officers and supervising team, advanced to attack and take over the opponent's line.

This is real war.

As long as the team is well-trained, the generals will not send them all at once.

Then if you die 10%, it's all over.

What the peasant army did at the beginning of the uprising was that they swarmed everything. Then 10% of the people in front died, and the people in front retreated, leading the people behind to flee together.

Just like when the former Qin Dynasty attacked the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the people in front shouted retreat and all the people behind them ran away. It was simply ridiculous.

Even the emperor's guards could not suppress him.

Whenever a well-trained team fights, they actually send small teams up one by one.

Some teams may receive all the output in an instant, just like the team that faced the white-armored assault head-on. In just a few minutes, the casualty rate reached 80%.

Naturally, this team was the most unlucky, and it completely collapsed, with many officers also killed.

However, other teams are still intact.

Just like the two teams on the left and right, and the teams on the left and right wings, they are all complete.

Still taking the opportunity to launch an attack, enter the effective range and launch output.

If averaged, 150 people were killed or injured in an instant, and the total number of people was 1,500, it seemed that 10% were dead. Ordinarily, with this casualty rate, 80% of the feudal teams would collapse.

In fact, only one team was completely wiped out, and the defeated people were guided to the rear by the supervising team for correction.

Don't run around.

In particular, you must not attack other intact squads.

In this case, whoever attacks, the officers of that team and the military law team will definitely kill someone.

This kind of training is also included in daily training.

How to find cover after a collapse and how to regroup the team.

When other teams saw them collapsing, they would envy them for being able to escape under the suppression of officers and regular training, but they couldn't escape themselves.

Moreover, the other party suffered the damage and output on their behalf, so they should live up to the other party's efforts.

Instead of imitating the other party and fleeing together.

But this is not the case with the Ming army.

The Ming army was just a group of beggar soldiers.

Most generals only value the servants and confidants who can be taken away with them when their positions change. They don't pay much attention to the soldiers who belong to the imperial court and cannot be taken away.

As soon as you go into battle, you put the beggar camp soldiers in front to consume a wave of enemies. Then when you see the enemy's weakness, the general leads the servants to charge.

If the opponent is weak, it can be solved, such as defeating the Mongols|Ancients.

But if you encounter a well-organized array of Jurchens, you are looking for death.

Just like the theory, if the opponent defeats 10% of the beggar camp troops, it will collapse on a large scale.

Even if a few servants charge, they will be surrounded by the opponent's superior force.

It seems that every battle is 150,000 versus 70,000.

It seems that there is more than 2 times the advantage, but in fact, each of the generals with more than 2,000 or more than 1,000 servants has to deal with more than 20,000 elite armored men alone every time.

Then he was besieged by the opponent until he died.

On the surface, it seems that these general soldiers are carrying a large number of 20,000 to 30,000 troops.

Therefore, behind every tragic defeat is a fatal factor with an absolute disadvantage.

If the match is evenly matched, the winner will most likely win miserably and will not suffer a brittle defeat.

The winning side will also suffer considerable losses.

This is the drawback of the feudal court's use of civil servants to control military officers: if you want to restrain military generals, civil servants can play tricks. The problem is that no one is a fool. If you play with me, I will play with you.

If you randomly dispatch me to fight in other places, then I have to bring my trusted followers. Without trusted followers, how can I command an unfamiliar army?

This is not a modern team. Everyone trains according to a highly unified template.

A military commander can quickly adapt and issue military orders proficiently, allowing the team to follow his command and complete various tactical and strategic tasks.

The feudal team is completely different.

Without training, soldiers who are not familiar with the officer will not obey his orders.

Therefore, he must have confidants and servants as military judges to drive lower-level soldiers to obey orders.

Otherwise, the imperial court will be like the Song Dynasty, where the soldiers do not know the generals and the generals do not know the soldiers.

Wen Rensheng feels much better this way. The advantage is that a small number of collapsed teams will not affect the overall situation.

Moreover, it can quickly form a team and quickly recover collapsed soldiers.

Then go into battle again.

This method can ensure a high battle loss ratio before collapse.

Yes, the initial loss of 10% to 15% will lead to collapse, but the latter will maintain morale, gather the defeated troops, recover, and return to the battle a few hours or days later.

In the final calculation, the loss may exceed 50% before the combat effectiveness is completely lost.

And now, the collapsed team has been diverted to the back.

The other teams were still intact. Led by luck, fear, fear of the whip, and their officers, they were still moving towards the enemy with numb and rigid movements.
