Chapter 2598
"Array up!"
Looking at Jinghua, Yu Qian is still standing on the wall, taking his time.
Now, he is in charge of the overall situation.
With Liu Zheng sitting in charge and acting as his backer, no matter how others criticize him, it is useless.
What he wants to do this time is once and for all!
Where is Jinghua?
This is the glory of Longyan!
He doesn't allow anyone to come to Jinghua to flirt with her.
He wants to eat these 100,000 soldiers!
Long Yan must be so arrogant!
When Youzhou cavalry rushed over in large numbers, Zhao Yan ordered the formation to form.
The artillerymen lit the fuses of the artillery, and immediately, dozens of artillery shells flew towards the Youzhou Army's cavalry formation.
These shells were all explosive shells. After they landed on the ground, they immediately made a thunderous explosion, and everything around them was overturned by the waves.
Wherever the cannonballs hit, there was a wave of mourning all over the land.
Although the Youzhou Army has good actual combat experience, the people they usually fight with are prairie cavalry. They are used to fighting with people on horseback, and this is the first time they have been bombarded by cannons.
They didn't know how to face the powerful artillery attack. As a result, the cavalry formation was quickly blown to pieces. People were frightened and the horses were frightened. After just a few rounds of shelling, Youzhou's 20,000 light cavalry were already at the point of collapse.
edge.
When the enemy cavalry rushed within the range of the cannon, Zhao Yan immediately ordered all the infantry to use muskets and crossbows to shoot at the enemy cavalry.
The improved musket fired very quickly, and the projectiles almost continuously covered the cavalry heading towards Youzhou.
After several rounds of shooting, nearly 2,000 Youzhou cavalrymen fell.
Then, the cavalry behind the infantry of the Jinghua garrison will also take action.
After a burst of drumbeats, the cavalry flew out from the infantry formation, and three thousand light cavalry roared towards the Youzhou Army.
However, their target is not the enemy's cavalry, but the enemy's infantry.
No matter how disparate the combat effectiveness of the two sides is, three thousand cavalry will still be at a disadvantage against Youzhou's ten thousand cavalry.
Therefore, before the war started, Liu Zheng discussed a solution with Yu Qian.
With the help of Tian Ji's theory of horse racing, one can overcome riding by foot and foot by riding.
That is to say, use Jinghua's cavalry to deal with Youzhou's infantry, and use Jinghua's infantry to deal with Youzhou's cavalry.
Twenty thousand people versus one hundred thousand people. Under normal circumstances, the Beijing Army would not win under any circumstances.
However, the infantry in Jinghua City has a policy of fighting against the cavalry, and the number of infantry and cavalry is the same. As long as the formation is defended properly, there will be no collapse;
The Youzhou infantry is completely different. They are all in a charging state. They are waiting for the Youzhou cavalry to break through the Jinghua army formation and then attack and kill them. They are not prepared to deal with the cavalry at all.
