As Li Mi sent more than 10,000 cavalry troops led by Wang Bodang to the scene, the wave of cavalry who had been stunned by the strange spear battle retreated with lingering fear. However, in this short period of time, they suffered losses.
With more than 3,000 cavalry, coupled with the previous confrontations between the cavalry of both sides, the 40,000 cavalry brought by Li Mi had been lost by about 10,000 people. On the other hand, Wang Junlin's cavalry lost more than 1,000 people, while the infantry only lost 10,000 people.
More than four hundred people were lost.
Seeing Wang Bodang leading a new wave of cavalry with a solemn expression to charge towards our side, Wang Junlin gave an order, and the sound of drums sounded neatly in the Tiger Camp square formation that was broken by 10,000 dismounted soldiers. All the soldiers in the first three rows
Both hands hold iron guns, and three rows behind them hold an iron gun in one hand and a quick crossbow in the other.
Under the command of their respective captains and centurions, they no longer stood firm and even walked towards the enemy with their heads held high, stopping a hundred paces in front of the enemy's front line.
At this time, the cavalry led by Wang Bodang, who rushed up, had already begun to throw bows and arrows. The nearly 10,000 armored soldiers in the Tiger Camp standing in the rain of arrows did not panic at all. They were as peaceful as standing in the sun enjoying the spring breeze. This is naturally due to Snake Island
The command and prohibition of the queue training method has made them develop an instinct.
At this time, Wang Bodang led the cavalry leader 400 steps away. Previously, Wang Bodang led his men to confront Luo Shixin and Yuchi Jingde. Only more than 17,000 of his 20,000 cavalry were left. They accelerated and kept pace.
In the basic formation, Wang Bodang roared and roared, and immediately charged towards the Tiger Camp at full speed.
"Squat down in the first three rows! Refuse the horses!" Wang Junlin had already asked Yuchi Jingde to return to the nearly 10,000 subordinates who were dismounting and fighting on foot to take personal command. At this time, Yuchi Jingde's eyes were like lightning, and he could tell at a glance that the enemy wanted to kill them.
The infantry phalanx was drawn into the melee, and then he used the numerical advantage to break his own infantry phalanx. So he immediately gave the order loudly, and the order soldiers around him conveyed the order as quickly as possible, and it was quickly implemented.
When facing the previous wave of cavalry, the soldiers of Tiger Camp who dismounted and fought on foot were still a little nervous. After killing a lot, they faced the rolling enemy cavalry again. However, they were left with only incomparable confidence and murderous intent. The soldiers obeyed.
Following the order, the soldiers in the first three rows aimed their spears diagonally in front and performed standard horse-repelling movements, while the following rows began to aim with the quick crossbow sockets and prepared to shoot.
When an infantry phalanx faces a cavalry charge, the first three rows squat down first, allowing the back three rows to step in and shoot with quick crossbows. This in itself is the basic training in the Shedao Infantry Battle Formation Regulations.
At this time, there was no need for Yuchi Jingde to order an attack. Each captain would make his own judgment and issue orders.
When the enemy cavalry rushed to about 120 steps, all the captains looked ferocious almost at the same time and shouted loudly: "The last three rows of fast crossbows are ready!"
The three rows of soldiers behind each captain's battle formation stood sideways at the same time, looking for shooting points. The captain did not give them much preparation time, and immediately roared: "Aim!"
There are one thousand people per capital and one captain. In each capital, nearly half of the soldiers are armed with crossbows. These ten thousand people are divided into ten square formations of one thousand people, and the ones facing the enemy directly at the front are five square formations of one thousand people.
Formation. More than two thousand fast crossbows were aimed at the oncoming enemy cavalry. Amidst the thunderous sound of hooves, all the captains waited coldly for the enemy cavalry to enter about eighty steps, and then shouted loudly: "Let go."

There was a buzzing sound, and each fast crossbow shot nine consecutive shots all at once. In order to avoid hitting all the enemy soldiers in the front row, they would space each crossbow arrow by one breath. There were more than 500 enemy soldiers in the front row.
The cavalry fell to the ground in response. While the cavalry was majestic, it also provided a larger target. Most of the hits were horses. They rolled violently on the ground, causing chaos in the enemy's ranks.
"Stand up in the front row! Take aim!" The voices of each captain were still very steady, but the orders were issued a little faster.
Amidst the roars of the captains, the soldiers in the front row stood up and raised their quick crossbows, while the row behind them began to load arrows into the quick crossbows.
"emission!"
Another round of more than 2,000 fast crossbows fired at intervals with nine bursts. The enemy cavalry in front of them fell again by 400 to 500. Chaos arose again, but the other cavalry accelerated and rushed in frantically.
At this time, it was too late for the Tiger Camp phalanx to conduct the next round of shooting.
"Reject the horses in the front row!" each captain gave an order. The soldiers in the front row who had just finished shooting all squatted down. The soldiers in the second and third rows stood up and raised their guns. The military formation was like a hedgehog with spikes.
The enemy cavalry came roaring in, but the Tiger Camp soldiers in front of them never panicked at all. Instead, they set up such a spear formation. They didn't know that Wang Junlin's cavalry and navy must first be qualified infantry, especially the cavalry training infantry.
When forming a phalanx, there are often confrontational trainings between infantry and cavalry, and the soldiers' psychological endurance has already been tempered.
The dense array of iron spears stimulated the eyes of Yang Su's cavalry horses. These sensitive animals suddenly became violent instinctively. Regardless of their master's control, they couldn't help but turn their heads at the last moment, or wanted to stop in front of the formation, which greatly affected the final outcome of the cavalry.
Collision effect.
But in this way, the first row of infantry in the Tiger Battalion was still knocked away a lot, and more than 200 people were killed and injured on the spot. However, they successfully blocked the charge of the enemy cavalry. The cavalry lost their charging advantage, and their weapons were not as long as hand-held spears.
The infantrymen, the same scene as before happened again. Even though Wang Bodang shouted at the top of his voice and led his elite soldiers to kill the enemy desperately, they almost immediately became the targets of the infantry armed with fast crossbows behind the Tiger Camp.
Before dying, some of Yang Su's cavalry threw all kinds of weapons in their hands at the Tiger Camp soldiers in front of them, knocking down more than two hundred infantrymen. But this still changed the final outcome of this infantry-cavalry battle.
The result——Wang Bodang returned in defeat with a face of unwillingness. He lost half of the more than 17,000 cavalrymen, leaving only more than 8,000 people who retreated in embarrassment. And more than 700 people died in the Tiger Camp.

The two waves of cavalry were defeated and retreated one after another. This scene was seen by Li Mi. He was shocked and his face was so gloomy that he could drop ink. Such a result was something he had never thought of before. Before this, he had never thought that the world would
An infantry phalanx can be so powerful.
"No, this square formation may just be a battle formation developed by Wang Junlin specifically to restrain cavalry."
Thinking of this, Li Mi suddenly turned around and shouted to the soldiers on the left and right: "Command, let us have 25,000 infantry troops. The enemy's infantry formation has less than 10,000 people. Our number is two or three times their number, and we
They are a new force and they have already fought twice. As long as we defeat them, we will win this battle."
The messengers split up to deliver the orders. The generals at all levels in the army led by Li Mi were also experienced in battles. They soon felt that at this time, the best choice was to use infantry against infantry.
