1107 Trap

As the sound of short guns continued to sound, the rebel cavalry fell off their horses one by one like fallen leaves in autumn! In just a few minutes, more than 200 cavalrymen were all killed and captured!

Seeing the victory, the cavalry of Liu Pei jumped off their horses, killed their opponents who were still moaning in front of the large group of rebels, cut off their heads and tied them to the horse's back and evacuated them!

Looking at the scene in front of him, the morale of the rebels suddenly plummeted! Even the sound of assisting the war drum sounded weak! It was not until the cavalry had withdrawn that the leaders of all sizes scolded their subordinates to raise their spirits before they could barely maintain their morale.

In the position, Yang Jingfa received a report from the officer, then rode his horse and walked two steps to side by side with Liu Pei, saying: "Master, the results of the battle are not bad! A 1:6 ratio of war loss!"

Liu Pei nodded and said, "I'm afraid that the elite cavalry of the rebel army will be able to destroy a lot of them after this battle!"

Yang Jingfa nodded and said, "It can be said that! You know, the rangers are all elites in the cavalry! With such a huge loss, he will not be able to replenish them in less than two years!"

Liu Pei smiled and said, "That's good! But don't forget that the government army does not have much victory against these bandits now! Often, once it fails, the elite soldiers in the government army will join the bandits. And it will be troublesome for us to train one person."

Yang Jingfa said indifferently: "It doesn't matter. If we defeat them, the elite among them will become ours!"

Liu Pei laughed and said, "It's good to have this confidence. Just go back to your team and follow the orders."

Yang Jingfa nodded and left. Liu Pei looked at the distance opposite and said, "Change the formation, the distance is close enough. Is it true that Li Zicheng is fooled?"

The officers beside Liu Pei immediately shook the flag and the drums and whistles were loud. Liu Pei's army began to slowly change formations.

When Li Zicheng saw that the formation on the opposite side began to change slowly, he shouted loudly in joy: "Stop the cavalry and rush!"

Li Zicheng has a good idea! Because any infantry is fragile when changing formations! Once attacked by the enemy, it will cause huge chaos, just like pushing down a domino.

Causing a large-scale collapse!

What's more, the government army on the opposite side was very arrogant and actually placed the cavalry on the back of the infantry. It was obvious that they didn't want the cavalry to go into battle for a short time. As long as the cavalry on one side was fast enough, they could rush into the position of the official army before the opponent's cavalry started!

However, Li Zicheng obviously underestimated his opponent, but overestimated himself. His cavalry had just suffered a blow, his morale was sluggish, and he was very slow to move.

But after the unremitting efforts of the leaders, they finally rushed out from both sides. The cavalry officers were also full of anger at this time and were ready to take this opportunity to take revenge on the other side! So they desperately urged the horses to accelerate!

Just as they approached the other square formation, they suddenly heard a violent gong sound from behind! That was the order to withdraw the troops! This made the cavalry team slow down!

This order to withdraw troops was issued by Li Zicheng in a hurry. Because Li Zicheng, who was standing in the position, suddenly discovered that in just half a quarter of an hour, the opponent's formation had been transformed! And his cavalry was rushing towards a strong infantry!

But the cavalry commander was in the cavalry team and could not find the situation ahead at all! He rushed towards the other side like two bulls!

In fact, Li Zicheng regretted it as soon as he issued the order! Because at this time, his cavalry and the opponent's infantry were too close! The order to retreat would only affect the performance of his cavalry. However, the retreat order had been issued, so he could only sit back and watch the war continue to develop.

Liu Pei's huge team turned into three rows and thirty interlaced square arrays in just a few minutes.

After the last battle, Liu Pei and the officers repeatedly negotiated, feeling that the role of the sword and shield soldiers in the battle was getting lower and lower.

In the past, the sword and shield soldiers might have a role in siege. But now with the development of Liu Pei's artillery, there is almost no need to climb walls to siege. You can use heavy artillery to blast the gap and then the infantry cannons in.

Moreover, since they were dealing with the peasant army, they had very few archers, so there was no need for sword and shield soldiers. So what Liu Pei brought out this time were all spearmen and musket soldiers.

The interval between the 30 square arrays is approximately

About 150 steps, it happens to be outside the limit range of the musket. However, any enemy inserted between the two square arrays will be attacked on both sides! This is a huge trap!

The spearmen outside the square formation inserted the spear diagonally to the ground, holding the spear in his hand to form a horse. In an instant, countless spears extended out of the outer edges of these square formations, as if a circle of silver laces were drawn! The musketeers inside the square formation had already picked up the muskets in one go, waiting for the officer's orders.

At this time, the rebel cavalry was less than 80 steps away from the infantry phalanx. The galloping cavalry had already received the signal of retreat and couldn't help but slow down. At this moment, the four phalanxes on the opposite side shot out a row of lead bombs at almost the same time!

The cavalry running in the front was like being hit by a giant hammer and fell directly from the horse! The person who fell off the horse was trampled into meat by the war horses regardless of life or death!

After the first row was fired, the second row and the third row were immediately followed! The dense lead bullets hit the cavalry rows and rows of cavalry fell to the ground! The cavalry behind were tripped by the corpse in front, the injured war horses jumped around, people shouted and neighed, and they were in chaos for a while!

However, the rebel cavalry still struggled to draw two huge arcs in front of the other side, and retreated after paying huge casualties! In just a few minutes, the rebels paid the price of nearly a thousand cavalry!

Li Zicheng knew that he had been fooled, so he waved his whip angrily and said, "Send 50,000 refugees to rush up first!"

The large number of refugees who had been driven to the front of the formation were immediately cut out by a group of soldiers and walked towards the front of the formation.

The rebel soldiers kept shouting: "After rushing over, as long as you come back alive, you will be from the old camp! Then there will be endless food!"

"Don't be afraid, the government army on the opposite side is nothing great! As long as you rush forward, it will be fine!"

"Don't be afraid! We have more people than them!"
