Chapter 99 Top spot
The collapse began with the right wing of the Western Army.
The more than 200 knights gathered in a hurry, and before the light cavalry could increase the charge speed to the most appropriate level, two horse teams composed of nearly 700 Beiyang Banners had already rushed from Dongfang to form one after another.
They bypassed the infantry formation composed of dozens of fallen cavalrymen, and rushed over with the courage and spirit that was no less than the first charge. This time, the enemies who were the first to be hit lost their previous fighting spirit.
In the eyes of the black cloud dragon, the cavalry formations composed of heavy armored knights and light cavalry gradually separated during the approaching process, like watermelons that were blooming on the ground, spreading from the middle like splashes. There were those who circled the horse and those who stumbled in a diagonal manner, and naturally there would be no shortage of people who would fight head-on.
However, this was useless. The Western Knights first lost their morale, lost their formation, and fled in all directions. The Ming army followed him with a whistle of the Black Cloud Dragon, and led their troops to form a small formation to chase after him.
Everyone dispersed in different directions, but the direction of running was the same. They had previously dispersed to attack Shao Tingda's left wing. Chen Mu's knights in his own formation failed to end well. The bird guns of the Grandmaster of the Liandou Army were loudly set off, and Shao Tingda was also prepared. Rows of big spears were erected, even these well-equipped knights could not break into the formation.
Now both sides are trapped in the formation and surrender, who have dropped their weapons and surrendered, and they have been kneeling down honestly. They are most likely not able to survive long after being shot and are lying on the ground. The tragic situation is different.
The knights behind were just more fighting spirit, but they were not stupid. The lessons of the past were not far away. They all knew that if they wanted to escape from the defeat, they could only go east and return to the support of their own infantry to resist these fierce Ming cavalry. Therefore, they almost all went out to make a big circle and hoped to escape in a detour.
There are few cavalry who can beat the Black Cloud Dragon Formation to kill you.
For the Ming cavalry under the command of Heiyunlong, nothing can boost the morale of the army than this, which is even more inspiring than their pursuit and strangling the Spanish phalanx soldiers under Herrera on the banks of the White Horse River.
The cavalry instructors who trained in Beiyang in Tianjin were all from martial arts lecture halls. They often talked about the four situations of cavalry conflict summarized by Chen Mu, so that each cavalry knew what would happen if the cavalry rushed to each other.
This situation is the most likely situation when the Ming cavalry encountered Mongolian armored cavalry on the nine sides in the past. They were defeated in terms of fighting will and momentum, and even the courage to touch them was dispersed without the military formation.
Moreover, their enemies were not Mongolian cavalry, but knight corps with more advantages in armor and combat skills. These knights were not only more powerful than Mongolian armored cavalry, but also much stronger than Beiyang cavalry. They rushed over more than 200 cavalry in one encounter, but they still fled in panic!
The sixteen horse teams, from the shoulders of the cavalry general flag, slowly slowed down in the pursuit of the north and middle. Seeing more than a hundred cavalry fleeing into the enemy's right wing formation, they walked to the middle of the battlefield where the Black Cloud Dragon was once again gathered in the middle of the battlefield where the Black Cloud Dragon was, and reorganized their troops.
"Each division has a short rest and go and repay the general quickly. The left-wing enemy cavalry has dispersed for our division, and our army can still fight again!"
Heiyunlong said, then threw the sword of the long-browed eyebrows and pointed at the Western Army's main formation and smiled: "Today I'm going to beat Bernard to call him uncle!"
There are hundreds of households under the cavalry. The general flag is aware of the problem of the chief general's random recognition of relatives in the army. He laughed at him, which means that they have also increased their seniority!
Black Cloud Dragon sent a whistle cavalry to run, and Lian Dou, who was the reserve team behind the central army, had already led the general's servants to move to the left wing. The whistle cavalry met him. Another order from the north to the flag had rushed over and shouted: "The general has an order, and the enemy's right wing is invincible. He ordered 600 servants to come to help the war. General Black led the cavalry to wait for an opportunity to drill through the enemy formation to help the central army Shao defeat the enemy!"
As the saying goes, Chen Mu, under the Fluo umbrella, made the port militia spend manpower to start this general in a short time. Of course, there is no way to do this.
If he had any choice, he would rather hide in the dense forests of low mountains and mountains than build a wooden building in such an empty place. It would be better to build a tall anti-aircraft anti-aircraft fortification with iron reinforced concrete.
After repeated calculations, it was confirmed that the stone-firing cannons and wrought iron splicing of the Franco cannons that were possessed by the Western Army were not enough to cross the military formation to threaten here. He set up a general in this place where it was obviously not the central army, but said that the rear army was reluctant to set up a general.
Not only could he see the battlefield, but Chen Mu could still see clearly with the help of a telescope if it weren't for the annoying tall spear forest in the square formation, and even the formation of troops behind the Western Army.
Chen Mu has been paying attention to the cavalry of the two left-wing armies fighting each other, and has watched with his own eyes the majestic Spanish knights were defeated and fought by the Black Cloud Dragon Cavalry under two rounds of charge and fleeing.
Almost as the Spanish knights gathered two hundred cavalry again and their morale was low and dispersed during the charge, the personal soldiers watching the battlefield also observed the changes in the battle situation and reported urgently: "Master, the enemy's rear formation is in chaos!"
Chen Mu didn't care about it. After snatching the telescope and looking at the Western Army, there was no gunfire behind the Spanish army, but he could see an army with different uniforms appearing, constantly changing and listing horizontal formations to block half of the valley entrance. Before a gun was released, it caused chaos to the Spanish soldiers in front.
Bernard's response was also very strange. He transferred a company from the reserve teams in the left, middle and right directions to fight Lin Manjue.
Seeing this scene, Chen Mu immediately ordered the cavalry to go to the reserve team Liandou general who was the reserve team to press the left wing, in order to tear apart the illusion of equal force and form a circle from the side.
Bernal did not transfer the nearest distance and the least pressure left wing was dispatched separately. Instead, not only did he dispatch troops from the central army, but also from the right wing soldiers who were almost defeated, Chen Mu absolutely did not believe that Bernal had not seen his right wing knights still at a disadvantage in the duel.
Then there is only one possibility for him to mobilize the right wing troops, that is, he must.
Sure enough, Chen Mu immediately saw the central army split another company and moved towards the rear formation of the left wing. Obviously, the next step for Spain to attack vigorously was his right wing, which lacked military strength to defend. After Liandou's reserve team rushed to the left wing, there were only 400 Du Song's cavalry on the other side.
At the same time, the Central Army's front mailer and rode down the high platform, shouting: "Report to the Grand Commander, the Central Army's rockets and artillery pieces have been released, and the troops are unable to withstand the enemy's strong attack. Please reinforcements!"
"Reinforcements, where do I have reinforcements!"
Chen Mu held the telescope and leaned over to look down the high platform. He raised his hand and took off the scorch-skinned robe and threw it on the chair. He showed that there was no gold or silver decoration inside, and he raised his arms to point to the right. He ordered the cavalry who was leaning against the flag on his back and said, "Go and hold Du Song for me, let him retreat four hundred steps. If the enemy is not defeated, he dares to rush forward. If I get off the battlefield, I will kill his head first!"
After saying that, Chen Mu looked back and pointed to the chair with the python robe on it and said, "Push up the heaviest General Zhenshuo to supervise the army for me!"
