1652 Entanglement
At this time, the opponent's cavalry also discovered Yang Jingfa and the others' existence, and immediately slowed down and stopped. Yang Jingfa knew that the Qing army was preparing to accumulate horsepower, but he was not going to give them this time, so he said: "Go forward slowly!"
Yang Jing issued an order, and the cavalry moved forward slowly in small steps, without any intention of concealment. After all, it is too difficult to hide an army on this Northeast Plain! Especially the cavalry with huge targets is even more difficult! So once the two sides start a war, they will end up head-on!
Yang Jingfa led the team forward for a distance and started the seat to observe the other party carefully. These Qing cavalry were indeed sophisticated! When they stopped, they all jumped off their horses, unsaded their saddles to relax, and also fed the war horses and fed water. At the same time, the Qing army sent a ranger to the surrounding area, wanting to know if there were any ambushers from Shandong soldiers. Judging from the movements, there was no awkward feeling, Yang Jingfa knew that this was an experienced cavalry.
Moreover, from the perspective of clothing and flags, this is a team composed of the Zhenglan Banner, the Inlaid Blue Banner, and a large number of Mongolian cavalry. The entire number is almost 23,400. This is different from the situation of reconnaissance, but Yang Jingfa doesn't care. After all, it is very difficult to get close to the cavalry to reconnaissance, and there are some differences in number.
When both sides approached the seven or eight miles of road, the Qing army began to saddle the war horses and rectify their armor to prepare for battle. Moreover, they actually arranged roughly three square formations like Yang Jingfa, which was quite tit-for-tat!
Yang Jingfa couldn't help but feel secretly happy when he looked at the other party! He was not afraid of the cavalry's hedge, but feared that the other party would not rush! Just when he was about to order the cavalry to speed up, he suddenly found that the other party's cavalry had actually adjusted their horse heads and advanced to the west!
After seeing this, Yang Jingfa laughed and said, "It's up to me! All the troops stopped moving forward!"
Then he said to the officer around him: "It seems that the general was right to guess! Keep informing him and act according to the combat plan No. 2."
The officer nodded and sent someone to convey the order. Yang Jingfa commanded the army to turn to the west in place. In this way, the horizontal lineup composed of three square arrays became
The columns along the way also advanced parallel to the Qing army at a slow speed.
The commander of the Qing cavalry in front of him was Fu Yuzhe, who was airborne from the Zhenghuang Banner. This is because the Zhenglan Banner was always the leader of Haoge. Although he had been purges many times, Dorgon never dared to confirm that he really had the Zhenglan and the Inlaid Blue Banner. So after he took power, he completely changed the officers of each Banner. Fu Yuzhe was the product of this situation.
Fu Yuzhe couldn't help laughing when he saw the Shandong cavalry following his team. He said to a Mongolian man beside him: "Labrang, it seems that the prince's plan is accurate. These Han people have indeed been fooled! Then, now it's up to you to move according to the plan!"
Labrang bowed and said, "Please rest assured, General, I will definitely complete the tasks assigned by the prince!"
Fu Yuzhe said seriously: "Don't rush to attack the opponent's formation. It is said that these Han cavalry are difficult to deal with! Your mission is to harass them. While consuming their horsepower, you must firmly stick to them. Only you Mongolians can do this!"
Labrang, who was praised for a moment, said proudly: "That's it! When it comes to riding, we Mongolians are truly unparalleled in the world! If the general had no other instructions, I would set out!"
Fu Yuzhe sneered in his heart, but he didn't show his face. Instead, he waved his hand enthusiastically and said, "Go, go! Remember, don't take risks!"
Yang Jingfa, who was moving in the distance, suddenly discovered that among the three Qing army's phalanxes, one of the largest area suddenly turned and rushed towards them. Looking at them all dressed up by Mongolians, Yang Jingfa knew what the Qing army was planning!
Yang Jingfa immediately said: "The No. 1 Fangzheng keeps his speed unchanged and accelerates when everyone gets close. The No. 2 Fangzheng is ready to turn at any time, and the No. 3 Fangzheng is ready to accelerate at any time, and you can control the timing yourself!"
After the order was conveyed, all the soldiers were ready, but the speed of the entire marching team did not accelerate. Yang Jingfa just watched the Mongolian cavalry heading straight for the middle of the team and collided!
Soon, the speed of the Mongolian cavalry was raised, and they ran faster and faster, as if they were breaking through the Shandong cavalry formation in one fell swoop!
Yang
Jing Fa laughed and said, "These Mongolians probably want to throw the last bit of blood here! Go down the imperial edict and prepare to turn on the spot."
After a while, when the Mongolian cavalry was less than one mile away from them and could no longer make a large-scale turn, Yang Jingfa immediately ordered the No. 2 square formation to turn on the spot.
For the cavalry, turning on the spot is a very difficult thing, because the cavalry runs too fast and they can only go around in circles if they want to turn. However, Yang Jingfa always ordered the cavalry to advance with slow steps, and this is the move to be prepared for!
The Shandong cavalry turned their horse heads on the spot, and the direction of the square formation turned to the north! Then they beat the horse gently, and the war horses slowly ran, turning the entire line-shaped team into a font shape!
If the Mongolian cavalry plunged into the gap between the Pin characters, they would be rushed directly by the No. 3 square formation! If the cavalry was hit on the side, there would be no casualties!
But Labrang, who led the team, was not an ordinary person! He found that Yang Jingfa's square formation suddenly turned, and instantly understood the plans of the Shandong cavalry. He immediately ordered the cavalry to change direction and rushed over with the No. 1 square formation!
At this time, the No. 3 phalanx had already started and crashed towards the Mongolian cavalry that was turning! However, because the Mongolian cavalry turned in time, they just wiped the tail of the Mongolian cavalry, leaving more than a thousand Mongolian cavalry's lives, and they easily avoided it!
Labrang was whispered by Yang Jingfa, and he was a little angry! So he decided to get some interest from the square formation in front! But the square formation No. 1 had already started to accelerate, and it could not catch up for a moment. Instead, it was chased by the square formation No. 3 bit its tail, forcing him to turn south again, and the two teams separated like this!
Then Yang Jingfa slowed down and turned around again, mixed with the original queue again, forming a column again! However, Yang Jingfa's square formation changed from No. 2 to No. 3.
After restoring the formation, Yang Jingfa said: "It seems that the orders received by these Mongolians were to pester us. This shows that the Qing army has other plans!"
