Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng just gathered together. They whispered to discuss how to deal with the aftermath of today. If they were lucky, Qian Qiaogong would survive this "competition", how should he help him escape from his crime.

They obviously forgot Chen Zhiyuan, even if Chen Zhiyuan fought side by side with Qian Qiaogong.

In the hearts of these people, marriage is a signal of righteous governance. In this world, brothers have many rebellions, and there are really not many in-laws who turn against each other. Because marriage is the common wish of both parties to form an alliance, so people at this time especially like to use marriage as a means of alliance. In their hearts, Shen Zhiyuan is the opponent and enemy of righteous governance.

But at this moment, the crowd of people watching in front made a loud "Huh" sound, which made the three of them unable to help but look up and look at the battlefield.

On the battlefield, the battle between the two cavalry did change.

At the beginning, the thirty-two lances charged in a triangular formation, Qian Qiaogong and Chen Zhiyuan were the tip of the triangular formation, at the top of the formation.

This is a low-level tactical mistake, and it is also the reason why the ministers on the high platform are not optimistic about it.

Because for both sides are cavalry and facing the rushing head-on, this formation is easily attacked by cavalry and shooting by the opponent's cavalry.

Facing a volley of bows and arrows, the difference between dense formations and loose formations is created.

If one side is hit by a bow and arrow with equal forces, one or two percent will be injured and 20 percent will be killed, which will have very serious consequences for the first round of frontal contact between the two armies.

Just imagine, the range of the bow is about fifty steps. At this distance, the rider is so fast that he can barely two rounds, and if he is slow, he will only have one round.

But if you are shot, it is very difficult for the opponent to adjust the formation within this distance to make up for the gap in the formation. That is to say, it is very likely that a vertical void will appear, and the opponent's cavalry will form a local advantage to attack, which will lead to the entire battlefield.

Dorgon's personal guards were at ease.

They really can't stand the spirit when dealing with such a three-legged cavalry.

A layman watches the excitement, while an expert sees the tricks.

From the opponent's horse-mounting and horse-riding movements, the personal guards could see the opponent's strength and couldn't help but sneer.

Of course, they would not deliberately let each other go, and in front of Dorgon, neither of them would want to lose this opportunity to show up.

The formation of the personal guard cavalry is arc-shaped, which is a typical tactic of cavalry battles.

Both sides are in front and the middle is lagging behind.

In this way, once a charge is launched, both sides will first strike the enemy, thereby covering the breakthrough in the middle.

At the same time, this formation effectively reduces the damage from the enemy's riding and shooting. Because the enemy's bows and arrows are first received on both sides, the enemy's bows and arrows need to be divided into two directions to shoot, thereby reducing the density of the bows and arrows, and the probability of shooting naturally becomes smaller.

Looking from the platform, the advantages and disadvantages of the formations of these two armies are clearly visible at a glance.

The personal guards were like spreading their arms to embrace the triangle of the lancer.

The winner can actually be predicted at this time.

But just as both sides approached about sixty steps, the lances suddenly changed their formation.

At this distance, the cavalry of the guards had shot the first round of arrows.

As mentioned earlier, the range of riding a bow is only about fifty steps, so why do you need to shoot arrows at about sixty steps?

In fact, the reason is very simple. Let the arrow fly for a while, and the opponent is approaching quickly, and the two sides are offset. The distance between sixty steps is almost the effective distance.

But at this moment, the lancers suddenly changed their formation.

Qian Qiaogong and Chen Zhiyuan separated from each other, and then the spear behind him split into two.

A triangular charge formation turns into two triangles, charging towards the two wings of the cavalry of the guards.

This is absolutely impossible to have a temporary intention, because in this rapid charge, it is equivalent to committing suicide by temporarily changing the formation, and you can defeat yourself without the enemy's attack.

Obviously, this kind of array transformation has undergone rigorous training, which means that before the battle occurs, the soldiers have decided on this tactic.

This is also the reason why the ministers on the stage made a "huh" sound together after seeing it.

The first round of cavalry of the personal guards was obviously a failure!

Thirty-two arrows were neatly inserted into the position two feet square in front of the formation of the lancers. It can be imagined that the Qing army's cavalry and shooting skills were used.

The sudden change of the spear cavalry not only surprised the audience on the stage, but also the cavalry guards.

Because on the battlefield, this situation basically won't happen.

Anyone who has been on the battlefield knows that when the two armies face each other, the main formation is behind them. Even if there are no infantry and logistics, there should be a central army tent. Who dares to expose their belly to the enemy and let the enemy take their own nest?

Therefore, the personal guards were shocked.

A distance of sixty steps, one or two seconds of shock is enough to change the battlefield.

Because the war horses on both sides would not be shocked, they were still approaching at a rapid speed.

In this blink of an eye, there are thirty steps.

Thirty steps are the shooting distance of the short musket. As mentioned before, these short muskets are clamping rope guns, and the cavalry do not have the ability to shoot left and right bows.

Therefore, the Lancer's fire note was bitten in his mouth before departure.

The bumpy war horse is insured, nothing is insured, only oneself and one’s mouth.

Crawling on the horse's back, he straightened his body, held the reins in his left hand, and took out the short gun from the leather sleeve on the right leg with his right hand, put the leads to his mouth, and after igniting, he quickly aimed at the enemy opposite. The white smoke emitted would not even affect his sight.

"Bang", the gunshots.

I'm afraid the best rider in the world can't make effective dodges to musket shooting in less than twenty steps and is constantly approaching, almost face-to-face.

I'm afraid that the worst coercion in the world will not be able to shoot targets that are infinitely close to the muzzle, right?

It was just like this that the gun was almost at the distance of the enemy, and the gun fired.

This is true on both sides.

The situation on the battlefield changed rapidly.

After this incident, the thirty-two personal guards almost disappeared, and at least twenty people were shot and fell off the horse.

The remaining dozen people are the middle part of the formation.

And in a blink of an eye, the two armies crossed.

In just one round, one side was unharmed and more than half of the casualties were injured.

This situation was supposed to be over as a competition.

Hong Chengchou endured the joy in his heart and told Fulin: "Master, the winner has been decided, so there is no need to compare."

Fan Wencheng echoed: "All of them are soldiers of my Qing Dynasty. Since the victory or defeat has been decided, the soldiers should not be killed in vain."

Jierhalang took the lead and said, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, and add another general and a tiger. The combat power of the lancers is obvious. This shows that Qian Qiaogong is good at training troops. In the opinion of the minister, Qian Qiaogong's lancers should be expanded and formed a separate army besides the new musket army."
