Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 322 Ming Army vs. Cossack Cavalry ([-])
Ainengqi personally led the cavalry to attack the enemy's side, but found that another cavalry from the enemy had also appeared. Judging from its target, it was obviously pointing at its own cavalry.

Ainengqi immediately gave up supporting the infantry, because he knew that once he attacked the enemy in the melee, his flanks would be exposed to the approaching enemy cavalry, and the consequences would be disastrous.

Ainengqi organized his team and faced the opponent in a horizontal line of six.

Eriksha, the leader of the Cossacks, led his troops with [-] fine cavalry. There was no formation, and they didn't care much about the so-called formation.

After the two sides confronted each other at a distance of more than one mile, Eriksha let out a loud roar, and the Cossacks began to rush towards the Ming army like jackals with a murderous look.

Ainengqi didn't give the order to attack, but just ordered to keep the formation and get as close as possible to each other, even to the point where knees were next to knees.

As the distance between the two sides narrowed, Ainengqi did not let the soldiers dismount and form a line formation like last time, because he knew that after suffering the last time, the enemy might not be fooled again.

If one's side dismounts again, the enemy is likely to detour to the two wings and launch an attack. If one's own side fails to deal with it, the consequences will be very serious.

Of course, Ainengqi didn't come up with these flexible tactical changes alone.

Before setting off, Bright King Tangning organized the staff to formulate various tactics to deal with the characteristics of the Cossacks.

Obviously, the King of Light had never really met the Cossacks, but he seemed to know the Cossacks better, coupled with various intelligence from the Baliyadi Department, so various tactics to deal with the Cossacks were formulated.

It can be said that Ming has already achieved a certain degree of understanding of the Cossacks, and the Cossacks may have a certain understanding of the Mongolian tribes bordering them, but they probably know very little about Ming.

They would not have imagined that Daming had already conducted a very targeted and meticulous research on them.

Therefore, as the main general, Ainengqi can almost always formulate tactics in time according to different scenarios.

"All of the Seven Regiments have..." Ainengqi shouted loudly.

All the soldiers of the Seventh Regiment in the first two rows immediately straightened their bodies and remained in a state of tension.

"preparation……"

"Shua, Shua, Shua..." The soldiers immediately raised their muskets horizontally.

Although the cavalry line formation on horseback is not as dense as the infantry line formation, it is equally murderous.

Seeing the Ming cavalry directly raising their muskets like this, Eriksha was obviously stunned for a moment, because the information he got was that the Ming army would dismount and form a line formation, which would be extremely lethal.

Therefore, before the attack, Eriksha had already explained to several generals that he ordered to be ready to detour to the two wings of the Ming army to launch an attack at any time, avoiding the front of the Ming army to reduce casualties.

At the same time, he also emphasized that the roundabout speed must be fast, and try to rush up before the Ming army arranges a response formation, and the Ming army's formation is broken.

Unexpectedly, the Ming army did not play cards according to common sense at the beginning, Erikesha was also a decisive person, and immediately ordered a direct attack.

Because according to the current situation, if the Ming army suddenly accelerates to attack, if they forcibly make a detour, they may expose their flanks to the Ming army.

Although the Cossacks don't pay much attention to the cavalry's battle formation, they also know that they cannot easily expose their flanks to the enemy, which is the weakness of any team.

"Rumbling..." Under Eriksha's order, the Cossacks continued to charge forward, and the distance between the two sides quickly narrowed.

Eighty feet, seventy feet, sixty feet, fifty feet...

"Fire..." Ainengqi roared loudly, and the trumpeter quickly blew his horn to convey the order.

"Bang bang bang..." The soldiers of the seventh regiment in the two rows in front pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Ah..." The Cossacks who were rushing screamed and fell down. Some horses even turned over several times after falling to the ground because of their speed. One can imagine the fate of the cavalry sitting on the horses.

Like the scene of a car accident, the war horses screamed and rolled over to the ground, smashing into dust.

"Seven regiments attack..." Ainengqi roared and ordered again.

"Beep beep..." The trumpeter followed up to convey the order.

"Rumble..." The soldiers of the Seventh Regiment in the first two rows immediately separated from the middle, rode their horses and rushed out from left to right, and then outflanked the enemy's two wings.

The round of volleys fired by the soldiers of the Ming army just now caused a lot of confusion in the Cossacks' attack formation, but the Ming army suddenly attacked and still outflanked the two wings, which was beyond Erikesha's expectation.

Because from the information of the last battle, after the Ming army shot, they would ride their horses to meet them head-on.

Facing the sudden change of the Ming army, Erikesha hesitated for a while, but decided to continue the attack.

Because he knew that when the Ming army divided up like this, there would be three groups, and his own side was attacking with all their strength. Changing the order to divide the troops into three groups would be quite difficult, and it would probably cause confusion and affect the accumulated momentum.

Moreover, the distance between the two sides is not far now, and it will take time to issue an order to divide the troops. When the order is issued, the cavalry of the Ming army has already rushed close, and the division team will definitely be chaotic. Take advantage of this opportunity.

Therefore, Eriksha did not dare to take the risk of dividing his troops easily.

Besides, only a part of the Ming army is attacking now, and the main force of the Ming army is still standing still.

Since the Ming army divided its forces, it would be relatively easier to gather forces first to overwhelm its main force.

"Get ready..." Ainengqi ordered again loudly, and the soldiers in the third row raised their muskets again.

Seeing this scene, Eriksha's eyes were cold, and he knew that his soldiers would be stripped off again.

The Cossack cavalry was also equipped with matchlock guns. Eriksha knew that the Ming army's muskets were better, but at this distance, his own muskets could also fire.

However, Eriksha did not give the order to shoot, because he knew that under such high-speed impact, distracted shooting would not only have poor accuracy, but also affect the charging speed.

Their Cossack tactics are to charge in a dense formation, use long cavalry spears to pierce their opponents, and smash or disperse the enemy's formation with a huge impact.

Then settle the rest of the battle with sabers and muskets.

This set of tactics has been accumulated through countless battles, and it has gone through various tests, and it is always invincible.

So even in the face of the Ming army's musket volley, Eriksha still did not order to fight back with muskets.

However, Ai Nengqi was not at all polite, and roared and ordered: "Fire..."

"Bang..." A row of green smoke rose from the front of the Ming army, and another cloud fell from the attacking Cossack cavalry.

"Third Battalion, attack." Ainengqi ordered again.

After the shooting, the soldiers of the third battalion were also divided into two from the middle, one left and one right outflanked to the two sides.

Following the attack of this row of cavalry, Ainengqi led the remaining three rows of cavalry to stay where they were.

"Get ready..." The remaining three rows of soldiers raised their guns again.

Eriksha and other Cossack cavalry could only lower their bodies as much as possible. As the highest leader, Eriksha didn't try to charge forward because he knew that the dense bullets of the Ming army didn't recognize him.

If he really knew him, he would definitely be the first to kill him.

Of course, while attacking, Eriksha also kept an eye on the outflanking Ming army.

However, he found that the Ming army did not get too close, nor did they intend to change direction to attack their flanks. They just kept a distance of less than a few feet from their formation and staggered past.

Eriksha naturally knew that the Ming army's intentions were not simple. Sure enough, after a few breaths of the Ming army's cavalry staggered past, a whizzing rain of arrows suddenly fell.
