1423 Consumables
This type of fish scale formation is to block and divert the enemy layer by layer, and finally form superior forces in the middle and rear of the fish scale formation to annihilate the enemy! However, the cavalry standing in the front row had almost no chance of survival!
There is no way to do this! After all, Liu Pei’s cavalry is not on the same level as the Qing army! You can’t expect a person who has just climbed on the horse for a year or two to be compared with someone who grew up on the horse’s back!
So Liu Pei has another secret that cannot be told here! That is, when Liu Pei fought with the Qing army, he never regarded cavalry as the main force of the war! He actually positioned cavalry as consumables! Liu Pei was more willing to rely on infantry with strong firepower to annihilate the enemy!
Of course, Liu Pei only adopted this tactic against the Qing army. When he faced other armies, the cavalry in his hands was the real ace! After all, whether it was the Ming Dynasty, Dashun, or the Daxi just established, their cavalry would only be beaten when they faced Liu Pei's cavalry!
So Liu Pei was actually ready to consume all the 70,000 cavalry in his hand to Liaodong! As long as he could exchange for the same number of Qing army cavalry, he felt that he would make a profit!
Anyway, it is difficult to train an elite cavalry of the Qing army, and it takes a long time! Liu Pei has a complete set of training institutions in his hands, which can continuously produce soldiers!
This is the difference between nomadic people and the central dynasty! In terms of soldiers, perhaps the single soldiers of nomadic people are more elite. Because their living environment is harsh, all the elites can be tempered!
But unlike them, the Central Kingdom can easily mass-produce soldiers of average quality! In other words, as long as Liu Pei has enough money, he can kill all his opponents with money!
As the fight between the two sides continued, feather arrows and lead bombs in the sky interacted and rushed towards their own targets! Various weapons collided with each other, or teared open the opponent's armor and cut off the body! The roars of the warriors and the dying moans of the heavy-hitting person have become the only sound on this plain!
With the crazy attack of the Qing cavalry, they still penetrated the formation of the Shandong cavalry and tore a hole from the center and rushed over! But before they tore open the hole, they had already paid enough price!
The cavalry of both sides gathered together again and began to count their own losses. Compared with the messy Qing cavalry, the Shandong cavalry that quickly formed a square formation was easier to count.
After a simple count, Yang Jingfa felt like a knife cut in his heart! This was a cavalry he had worked hard to build! As a result, after a few battles, he lost almost 8,000 people!
However, the only thing that made Yang Jinghua feel relieved was that the Qing army's losses were definitely not lower than this number, only more, not less!
The angry Yang Jingfa ordered the soldiers to set up a formation and prepare to do a big fight! This time he was ready to take the initiative!
And Babutai, opposite him, was about to vomit blood! His cavalry and martial arts were far superior to the other party, but the other party used his formation to persevere, and also caused a lot of damage to them!
What they didn't know was that since the central government had always lacked war horses, it often used infantry to resist the cavalry of the nomadic peoples! In order to win, the soldiers in the Central Plains had to use various formations to offset the impact of the cavalry! And Liu Pei just further expanded the factor of this formation and transferred it to Qiba!
Seeing his losses, Babutai was also very annoyed! After all, he came out this time to make military achievements! Not only did he not make any military achievements now, he was forced out of Gaotai Fort! In the end, he was beaten by the Ming army's cavalry!
After he returns, let alone being promoted to the prince, he is afraid that his position as Beile will be lost! So Babutai cannot let go of the Qing army in front of him!
In order to better consume the other party, Babutai put the Mongolian cavalry with only half of their own teams in front without hesitation! Na Risong and other Mongolian officers were determined to object, but when he saw Babutai with red eyes, he had to bow his head and say nothing! Since he was a dog, he would have the awareness of being a dog!
As the trumpet sounded, Yang Jingfa took the lead in attacking this time! The formation he adopted was still a sparse fish scale formation. This time, Yang Jingfa also made up his mind. Even if he threw all the cavalry here, he would destroy Babutai!
Seeing that the opponent started, although the Qing cavalry did not want to fight this war of attrition, they were even more reluctant to accept the shame of defeat! So they established
Come up with me!
Before this, Babutai tried his best to organize the formation. However, as both sides ran, the formation of the Qing army no longer existed! But their fierce aura was still there!
The cavalry on both sides crossed the open space in the middle and collided again! The sound of feather arrows breaking through the air, the sound of short guns, and the sound of weapons colliding again throughout the field! The result of the collision between the two sides was that a large number of corpses were added to the ground!
During this attack, Babutai tried his best to command the team to entangle the opponent. In his judgment, these Shandong cavalrymen could break through their formation as long as they were entangled and slowed down their speed!
But Yang Jingfa immediately saw through his thoughts, and he sent orders to order the soldiers to move forward resolutely! He would never stop for any reason and finally completed the hedging!
After the two sides separated, the open space between the two sides was dissatisfied with the corpses of soldiers and war horses, and there were almost no living people! The only thing that could move was that many war horses were looking for their knights in the middle of the open space, constantly wailing!
At this time, both sides had their eyes red. No one cared about how many people were killed or injured? As soon as both sides gathered, the cavalry were busy giving the war horses some water, and then re-arranged the formation, ready to launch another charge against the enemy!
Just as both sides were about to finish the team and were ready to go, both sides found a small force from the north approaching quickly. The team that was originally ready to go stopped immediately.
In a huge battle, any variable insertion will cause unexpected consequences. So both sides want to see who is coming?
When the team approached, both sides saw who was coming almost at the same time? It was a soldier from Shandong!
The team was very small, with about 800 people. They were all rushing over in mules and horses. There were also a team of cavalry next to the carriage. Now both sides understood that these soldiers were probably the vanguard troops of Shandong infantry!
