What's more, the Qing cavalry who didn't have to face the enemy could easily shoot arrows at close range! Under this attack, the edge of the entire cliff formation was constantly being cut off by the Qing army layer by layer!

Thinking of this, Yang Jingfa couldn't help but sigh! He recalled that Liu Pei told him that there must be one advantage and one disadvantage! Although the fence-mounting tactics have various advantages, it also has a fatal weakness, that is, rigidity!

All soldiers must march at one rhythm and attack at one rhythm. The entire square formation is slow and slow! It is difficult to expose this shortcoming when small groups are fighting, but once large groups of soldiers are involved in combat, this problem will be magnified!

If you encounter another nimble general and a cavalry legion with strong execution capabilities and flexible combat capabilities, you will suffer a big loss if you are not careful!

However, Yang Jingfa is not worried about this problem at the moment, because the Qing soldiers on the opposite side have not discovered this problem at the moment. They just instinctively found this weakness and exploited it! So Yang Jingfa felt it was necessary to do it again to cause more damage to the Qing army! But when he looked at both sides, his face became gloomy!

Just as Yang Jingfa started to complete the team, the four cavalry on both sides had just separated! However, they did not hedge and fight like the central front, but were very different!

At the beginning, Luke Dehun and Yudahai decided how to fight this battle! In their opinion, the cavalry should be erratic and attacked the enemy as far as possible! So when the two men approached each other's square formation, they both pulled the reins and led the team to the sides, one left and one right!

The commander of the Shandong cavalry opposite did not expect this situation to happen. When he was charging, the enemy actually fled from the side! They didn't react for a while and came to change it?

This exposed the problem that Liu Pei's cavalry was too late to form an army and the senior officers lacked experience! These officers did not immediately see through the Qing army's ideas. Perhaps they had doubts, but there was no evidence. At the same time, in order to protect the flanks of the main formation, both officers made up their minds to continue moving forward. They felt that it was the Qing army's return.

It was too late to turn to face the enemy again! But they completely underestimated the cavalry of the Qing army!

Not long after they started artillery, the two Qing army's cavalry drew a very small arc and rushed over from the side! Although there were speculations, when the Qing army rushed over from the side too quickly, the Shandong cavalry was still in a panic!

Fortunately, the teams of the two square formations were relatively small and not fast, so they were still quite relaxed to turn. But when they just turned around and were about to start accelerating, the Qing cavalry completely dispersed like hornets that exploded, and then came over from all directions!

After the Qing cavalry was already too dense to disperse, they suddenly became impossible to see a large-scale team! More of them were scattered soldiers riding horses in groups of three or three!

The Shandong cavalry who had just completed the turn rushed over from the front! Although they stepped on all the Qing cavalry that they could not escape into pieces, the scattered Qing cavalry kept attacking the sides of the square from both sides!

Some of them shot arrows, some rushed up and slashed, and even dragged people off the horses with a siege! These Qing cavalry were like small knives, cutting off the edge of the square formation layer by layer, causing many casualties!

The Shandong cavalry and the others realized that they did not take much advantage of this charge! It was like hitting a dense swarm with an iron hammer. Although the square formation killed many Qing cavalry who could not dodge during the charge, most of the Qing cavalry still easily shot to the sides and then attacked the square formation from the side! Especially the feather arrows shot from close range were quite lethal, and many Shandong cavalry were shot down from the horse in this way!

After both sides intertwined, they left many corpses behind each other! However, the cavalrymen on both sides did not gather in a hurry, but turned to their main force again.

In the first round! Shandong cavalry was slightly better! I said it wasn't the Qing cavalry on both sides who changed the combat method, I'm afraid that this round would be a great victory for Shandong cavalry!

Taking advantage of the aggregation between the two sides, the commanders of the two sides quickly exchanged the discoveries of the battle. After this round of battle, Babutai was frightened!

Rows of rides on the walls hit his team like endless waves!

However, his brave and fearless cavalry were like scarecrows, one by one being beaten to pieces by the waves! If it weren't for the second half of the quarter, Babutai ordered the cavalry to dodge to both sides, the Qing army's losses would have to be added at least three more layers!

Even so, the losses of his cavalrymen exceeded 3,000! So Babutai knew very well that there was no need to be too much such hedging. Just take two more times and his army would collapse!

When he saw Luke Dehun and Wudahai fighting that day, he discovered a new combat idea! Because from a visual perspective, the losses of these two people were basically the same as those of the Shandong cavalry!

So after quickly exchanging opinions, they decided to completely spread the cavalry this time, using flexible tactics and powerful individual combat capabilities to deal with these Shandong cavalry! In particular, Babutai emphasized that we should use more bows and arrows! Because the range of bows and arrows is much longer than that of the short guns of the Ming army, and the accuracy is higher! If the short gun is twenty steps away, it depends on luck!

Opposite them, Yang Jingfa was also discussing countermeasures with the officers. After roughly understanding the situation, Yang Jingfa's face was heavy!

He really didn't expect that the weakness of the fence-mounted tactics would be caught by the opponent so soon! The fence-mounted tactics are good, even if he faces several times the enemy, Yang Jingfa, is sure to fight head-on! But facing the Qing cavalry like a swarm, it turns into a tank and hits birds, which is difficult to deal with!

Yang Jingfa knew that time was tight, so he pondered for a moment and said, "I guess that if the war starts again, they will have to use the straggler tactics just now to deal with us! So we can only adapt to changes!"

An officer said: "General, are you planning to use strangulation tactics? You have never liked strangulation tactics!"

Yang Jingfa said: "That's right! Just use the strangulation tactic! If you don't like it, you may surprise the opponent! Okay, let's separate and organize your formation!"
Chapter completed!
