Chapter 782
Collapse, starting from the right flank of the Western Army.

The hastily assembled more than [-] knights and Qingqi hadn't had time to increase their charging speed to the most appropriate level. Two cavalry teams composed of nearly [-] Beiyang Banner troops had come from the east successively in successive formations.

One left, one right, one front and one back, they bypassed the infantry formed by dozens of fallen cavalry, and rushed over with the courage and vigor no less than the first charge. This time, the enemies who bore the brunt lost their previous fighting spirit. .

In Hei Yunlong's eyes, the formation of cavalry composed of heavy armored knights and light cavalry gradually separated as they approached, like watermelons that were smashed on the ground and bloomed, and scattered from the middle like a splash. There will be no shortage of people to fight head-on.

However, this was of no avail. The knights of the western army lost their morale and formation first, and fled in all directions. The Ming army followed suit with Heiyunlong's whistle. The subordinates formed a small formation and chased away.

Everyone dispersed in different directions, but they fled in the same direction—the knights who dispersed to attack Shao Tingda’s left flank and Chen Mu’s formation failed to end well. , Shao Tingda was also prepared for a long time, and even these well-equipped knights could not break into the formation with rows of big spears.

Now those trapped in the formations on both sides dropped their weapons and surrendered and kneeled obediently. If they were shot and lay on the ground, they probably wouldn't live long. The tragedies were different.

The knights in the back are just more fighting spirit, but they are not stupid. The lesson from the past is not far away. They all know that if they want to escape from the rout, they can only go east and go back to the support of their own infantry to resist these fierce enemies. The cavalry of the Ming army, so they almost all circled around in hopes of escape.

Those who charged straight into the black cloud dragon formation, few cavalry could break through.

For the Ming cavalry under Hei Yunlong, there is nothing more motivating than this, and it is even more inspiring than the Spanish phalanx soldiers they chased and strangled Herrera's men by the Baima River.

The cavalry instructors who practiced in Tianjin Beiyang are all graduates from the lecture hall. They often talk about the four situations of cavalry clashes summed up by Chen Mu, so that every cavalryman knows what will happen when cavalry clashes .

The current situation is the most likely situation that happened when the cavalry of the Ming army encountered the Mongolian armored cavalry on the Nine Sides in the past. They were defeated in terms of fighting will and momentum, and the army scattered without even the courage to touch it.

Moreover, their enemy is not the Mongolian cavalry, but a knight army with more advantages in armor and combat skills. These knights are not only more powerful than the Mongolian armored cavalry, but also much stronger than the Beiyang cavalry. They overturned, but they still—— fled!
The [-] cavalry teams, with the spears of the battle flag on the shoulder of the general cavalry flag, slowly slowed down in the pursuit of death and the north. Seeing more than a hundred cavalry fled in embarrassment towards the enemy's right flank, each of them paced their horses towards Heiyunlong again. Gather in the middle of the battlefield and regroup the troops.

"All the ministries take a short break, and hurry to report to the commander. The enemy cavalry on the left wing has been dispersed by our troops, and our army can still fight again!"

As Hei Yunlong said, he threw the long eyebrow sharp knife backhand on the horse, raised his arms and pointed at the Western Army's main formation, and said with a smile, "Today I'm going to beat Bernal until he calls him uncle!"

All the hundreds of households under the cavalry mark, and the general banner all knew the problem of the leader and general indiscriminately admitting relatives. Hearing this, he laughed, which means that they have all risen in seniority!

Hei Yunlong sent sentry cavalry to run for halfway, Liandou, who was the reserve team behind the central army, had led the commander-in-chief to move to the left flank. Said: "The commander-in-chief has ordered that the enemy's right wing is invincible, and he ordered six hundred servants to come to help the battle. The black general led the cavalry to wait for the opportunity to penetrate the enemy's formation, so as to help the Chinese army Shao Shuai defeat the enemy!"

The so-called climbing high and looking far away, Chen Mu under the umbrella of Feiluo let the port militia spend manpower to set up this general platform in a short time. Of course, there is no way to do it.

If he had a choice, he would prefer to build a small building in the midst of low mountains and dense forests, rather than building a wooden building in such an open area. It would be better to build a tall artillery fortification with iron-reinforced concrete.

After repeated calculations, he repeatedly determined that the stone-shooting guns and wrought-iron spliced ​​Francois machine guns possessed by the Western Army were not enough to cross the army formation and threaten this place, so he set up in this place where it was obviously not the Chinese Army, and it was said that the rear army was relatively reluctant. General Taiwan.

Not only did he have a panoramic view of the battlefield, but if it weren't for the annoying tall spear forests in the phalanx, even the formation of troops behind the Western Army, Chen Mu could have seen it clearly with the help of binoculars.

Chen Mu has been paying attention to the cavalry fight between the two armies on the left, and watched with his own eyes that the majestic Spanish knights were defeated by the black cloud dragon cavalry after two rounds of charges, and they fled in all directions.

Almost at the same time when the Spanish knights regrouped [-] cavalry, their morale was low and they collapsed during the charge, the soldiers watching the battlefield around them also observed the changes in the battle situation, and rushed to report: "Commander, the enemy's rear is in chaos!"

Chen Mu didn't care too much, so he grabbed the binoculars and looked behind the Western Army. There was no gunfire behind the Spaniards' formation, but they could see an army with different uniforms appearing and disappearing. The unfired gun caused confusion to the Spanish soldiers in front.

Bernal's response was also very strange. He transferred a company from the reserve teams in the three directions of left, center and right to go back to fight Lin Manjue.

Seeing this scene, Chen Mu immediately ordered the cavalry to go to Liandou, who was the reserve team, to press the troops to the left flank, hoping to tear away the illusion of evenly matched forces and form an encirclement from the side.

Bernal did not mobilize troops from the left wing, which is the closest and least stressed. Instead, he not only mobilized troops from the central army, but also mobilized troops from the right wing where the knights were almost defeated. The knights on his right flank lost the duel.

Then there is only one possibility for him to still mobilize the right-wing troops, and that is that he must mobilize.

Sure enough, following Chen Mu, he saw that the Chinese army had divided another company to move to the rear of the left wing. Obviously, the next step for Spain to vigorously attack was his right wing, which lacked troops to defend. Behind the left flank, there were only four hundred cavalry from Juniper.

At the same time, the front sentry of the Chinese army rode a galloping horse to the bottom of the high platform, shouting: "Report to the commander, the Chinese army's rockets and cannons have all been exhausted, and the troops are unable to resist the enemy's strong attack. Request reinforcements!"

"Reinforcements, where do I have reinforcements!"

Holding the binoculars, Chen Mu leaned forward and looked down the high platform. He raised his hand and took off the scarlet bare-shouldered shirt and threw it on the chair, revealing that there was not even a single gold or silver decoration inside. He raised his arm and pointed to the right , Said to the messenger cavalry with the flag on his back: "Go and hold Juniper for me, and let him retreat four hundred steps. If the enemy is not defeated, if he dares to charge forward, I will kill him first when he gets off the battlefield." head!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Mu turned his head and pointed to the top chair covered with a python robe and said, "Push up the heaviest General Zhenshuo to supervise the army for me!"

After yelling, Chen Mu pulled out his waist and stepped down from the stage, turned on his horse, swept across the stage and there were less than a hundred guards standing there, raised his blunderbuss and shouted: "Those who pass the orders, those who hold the flag, and those who can hold the blunderbuss all get on the horse and follow me." Let's go, let's see who the hell can't hold on first!"

　Good morning!
