New Shun 1730

Dace Lingdun Duobu was also rubbing his hands nervously.

Through the smoke on the battlefield, he could see Liu Yu moving more than a thousand people from the Chinese army to the southern front.

"He panicked, he panicked! He started to move the Chinese army southward."

"We should wait a little longer, wait until the soldiers from the Chinese army supporting the south have joined the battle, and then charge forward when they can no longer retreat."

"But we can't wait too long, lest the people on the hill go to support the Chinese army again. Xiaoce Lingdunduobu's four thousand fine cavalry should be able to drive away their Chinese army. As long as they drive away the Chinese army, his south The line was surrounded.”

Thoughts of one kind or another kept flashing through his mind, and Dace Lingdunduobu felt excited. The opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time seemed to have appeared.

The battle on the southern front was a bit chaotic. The cavalry that circled to the side did not rush away from the Han army in one fell swoop. Instead, they were stuck by the two infantrymen who formed a square formation.

After removing the impact, the cunning Han army's cavalry counterattacked from the side.

The Han army, numbering more than a thousand people, marched from the direction of the central army to the south to support them. Most of the cannons of the quasi-quarters were counterattacked, and Dace Lingdun Dobu could only watch helplessly as those people in the distance marched without scruples.

But this is not a big problem.

He believed that the biggest reliance of these Han troops was their muskets. Shooting is okay, but in a hand-to-hand fight, he will never be his opponent.

On the southern front, he concentrated nearly 5,000 cavalry, more than 4,000 musketeers, and about 4,000 infantry.

This is already nearly half of the force.

It’s just that the Qingzhou Army on the southern front is also quite large. Dace Lingdunduobu estimated that there were almost more than 20 heavy artillery, a large number of small artillery, nearly 3,000 infantry, and 3,000 cavalry.

These people are very good at defense, and coupled with the artillery bombardment, it is not easy to rush directly on the southern front.

The northern and central armies also had musketeers and infantry who resisted the line of fire. This would consume a large amount of troops from Lingdunduobu, the great strategist. The decisive assault force in hand was the four thousand troops of Lingdunduobu, the eldest strategist. Fine riding.

"Wait a little longer."

With this in mind, he called over Ce Ling Dun Dob and the Polish cavalry Major Bolshevski who had been captured before.

It could be seen that the infantry on the southern flank formed a hollow square formation, which seriously blocked the cavalry. He wanted to make sure whether he could break away.

Polshevski was very confident. His father had participated in the liberation of Vienna 50 years ago, and he was able to rise to the rank of major in the Polish army. He was obviously of noble origin. In the original battle with Tongbo in history, Bolshevsky led the quasi-cavalry to launch a wedge charge, which broke the Manchu formation and forced Dingshou to commit suicide.

He is still capable, and as a nobleman, he also has a deep understanding of cavalry.

Although the Dzungars do not have a winged cavalry and cannot train one, Bolshevsky believes that these infantry phalanxes cannot hinder the cavalry charge.

The southern line was blocked. In Bolshevsky's view, the real problem was the nearly 3,000 light cavalry.

In the view of the Poles, the only thing that can resist the cavalry is the opposing cavalry, and there is no possibility that the cavalry can be resisted solely by infantry.

Xiao Ce Lingdun Duobu has a personal guard of nearly a thousand people, all of whom are armored, capable of riding, shooting, and rushing into formations.

Bolshevsky also trained a small group of cavalry to change formations and charge in a wedge shape.

These two elite cavalry took the lead, followed by the light cavalry of the quasi-unit, and could completely break through the frontal defense.

Bolshevsky has no experience in attacking hollow formations.

When he fought with the Russians, the Russians had many Cossacks and Turgut horse archers, and the infantry had no chance to form a formation.

Cavalry versus cavalry.

When fighting against the quasi-division, the quasi-division is also dominated by cavalry. Although there are many infantry, there is no ability to form a formation to fight against the cavalry.

Or cavalry versus cavalry.

There were several battles with Dashun's army on the southern front, but the victory was not against the infantry square.

But the musketeers and spearmen were out of touch. After he led his team to overwhelm the musketeers, the spearmen were trapped to death.

As for the experience of his father's generation, in the battle to relieve the siege of Vienna, the Polish cavalry also took advantage of the resistance line between the Turkish Guards and the German infantry to charge from the flank.

The Turks did not know how to use hollow formations at that time.

These outdated experiences gave Bolshevsky great confidence.

After the final confirmation, Lingdun Dobu, the great strategist, said: "Then get ready. Tell Lenat to bring the remaining artillery. Once the battle situation on the southern front becomes anxious, then rush away from their central army. , divide their infantry and annihilate them like a hunt."

Wiping his old eyes that were crying against the wind, Dace Lingdunduobu wanted to see clearly the battle situation in the south through the smoke of gunpowder shrouded in the south.

The war situation in the south has become anxious.

The two infantry battalions formed in a square formation were not overwhelmed by the cavalry of the quasi-unit.

The initial cavalry charge was indeed shocking.

However, as the horses subconsciously avoided the bayonets and as a large number of war horses piled up in a limited space, the impact of the quasi-cavalry had been completely neutralized.

Jiao Laobutu led the group of light cavalry from afar and launched an assault from the side of the quasi-cavalry that could not rush forward.

Different from the Qingzhou Army's Qingqi, the fighting method of these Fu soldiers' Qingqi is not to form a dense and neat wall formation, but to form a small charging group with each Zichong Fu as a unit, and people who are familiar with each other gather together.

Jiao Laobutu also knew that with the virtue of these soldiers, he was worthy of being the captain of Zhe Chong.

Once it started, it was impossible to hold it back, but there was no time to think about that now.

Wu Fangrui asked him to pull the cavalry back after the charge and charge again, but he didn't have the ability to do so. Even if those imperial soldiers and light cavalry could do it, they would not have such discipline in the chaos.

The cavalry of the Zhunbu found that their charge was blocked, and they panicked after finding the imperial soldiers and light cavalry rushing out from the side.

Some people were still circling around the two infantry squares, and the rest turned their horses to fight.

In the melee of the cavalry, the Zhunbu also began to attack the Qingzhou Army line on the southern line.

Wu Fangrui looked at the reinforcements of the two battalions that were moving quickly towards this side. He believed in the battlefield mobility of the Qingzhou Army, especially when there was no artillery obstruction on the opposite side.

There was still time. After he suggested to Zhang Jin, the two battalions on the front line quickly expanded from four columns to three columns. After Wu Fangrui observed the situation of the cavalry on the flank, the battalion that had not moved was also boldly deployed.

"Everyone! Finally reload and put on bayonets!"

The order turned into the sound of military drums and was passed to everyone in the front line.

The officers of the company loudly passed on the orders, and the soldiers responded to the officers' orders as they did during the training on Liugong Island.

This was to indicate that they had heard the orders, and also to make some loud noises to give themselves courage when the gunfire stopped during the reloading.

The black mass of quasi-infantrymen in front were advancing towards this side. They were not yet at the distance of the charge. No matter how strong the armored people were, they could not rush forward in a swarm at a distance of a hundred steps, unless they were gods who could move mountains. They would still be out of breath if they ran a hundred steps without armor.

The 1,500 69-inch, 1.7-cm caliber muskets stopped firing almost at the same time.

Everyone took out the lead bullets wrapped in oil paper from the ammunition bags, tore the paper bags with their teeth, and uniformly put the primers into the primer pool and covered the lid.

Then they stood the muskets in front of them, stuffed the gunpowder and lead bullets into them, and took out the cleaning rods and poked them hard. No one looked up to see how far the soldiers of the Junggar were. The artillery sounds that came from time to time were all from their own side, which gave them a great sense of security.

The four-pound cannons of the regiment in the front row were also loaded with grapeshot.

From time to time, someone was hit by the heavy matchlock of the Junggar and fell to the ground. The people in the back row stood in front very consciously.

After everyone finished loading, they took out the bayonet and stuck it on the muzzle, and the officers also gave orders.

The soldiers in the first row half-crouched on the ground, holding the musket horizontally. The soldiers in the second row stood up, and the soldiers in the third row slightly staggered and stretched out between the shoulders of the two.

The two battalions that came to support had also arrived at the southern line by running and running. Instead of deploying, they made a turn and maintained the formation of the battalion column, maintaining a front of four rows and one company with a width of 25 people, and the whole battalion column was lined up.

As the two supporting battalions turned to form a team, the charge of the Junggar began.

"Fire!"

The officers looked at the flags waved by the command center and shouted at the same time.

One thousand five hundred muskets and six four-pound cannons loaded with grapeshot opened fire at the same time.

Boom...

The rising smoke was like a cloud of fog in front of the battle, and most of the densely packed Junggar soldiers fell to the ground in an instant.

The officer issued the charge order without hesitation. Taking advantage of the moment when the Junggar soldiers were shocked, the wide front of the one thousand five hundred people held bayonets and launched an attack forward.

The two newly supported battalions also rushed forward in the direction of the central army in a column. Their task was to turn and spread out into a horizontal column at the gap to open the gap.

Almost at the same time.

Daze Lingdun Duobu issued an order to prepare to attack the central army.

In terms of military tactics, his choice was correct.

In the current situation, most of the cavalry of the Dashun Army and about half of the infantry were trapped in the battle on the southern front.

The central army of the Dashun Army supported the thousand people on the southern front, and some infantry on the hill were also moving towards the central army.

Daze Lingdun Duobu has deployed too many people on the southern front. It is useless to support the remaining people. They can't be used at all. It will become a tactic of adding fuel.

Taking advantage of the fact that the infantry supporting the central army on the hill is not stable, the elite cavalry will be deployed to the central line to complete the cutting in one fell swoop and sweep the southern line to form an outflanking.

This is absolutely correct in terms of military tactics.

The quasi-army musketeers shooting at each other at the bottom of the hill can contain the Qingzhou army on the hill.

Moreover, the cavalry of the Qingzhou army is almost all on the south side. Even if there are cavalry on the north side, there are not many. Daze Lingdun Duobu is sure that relying on this kind of unarmored infantry, defense is OK, but attack is definitely not.

The order to attack was issued, and Bolshevsky drew a cross on his chest and nodded to the little celingdun Duobu in the distance.

Bolshevsky and the Taiji of the headquarters led more than 400 people who could change into a wedge formation on the left, and the little celingdun Duobu led hundreds of elite cavalry of his personal guards on the right.

The thousand-plus of them led the charge, followed by the remaining elite cavalry of the Junggar Army.

Lenat dragged the remaining eight-pound cannons over and deployed them in front of the formation, ready to bombard the center of the Qingzhou Army.
