On the evening of October 7, hundreds of Green Camp soldiers arrived and were immediately put into intense combat preparations by Zu Zepu. The key to this battle was of course Zu Zepu's battalion. Their equipment was no big difference from other Qing cavalrymen. They had various weapons such as nail guns. Many cavalrymen also had quiver pots on their mounts, and everyone used the weapons they were best at.

However, in addition to these conventional cavalry, Biao Battalion also has 600 people with the traditional weapon of Guanning Iron Cavalry - the long-handled three-eyed gun. During the battle, the cavalry will give priority to using this musket to attack the enemy on the opposite side. This weapon is very effective when dealing with refugees and is also good in this Shandong bandit suppression. When Biao Battalion only had a few times against the enemy, he often knocked the opponent into scattering and collapsed with one firecracker.

These cavalry equipped with three-eyed guns are also equipped with waist knives, but on the battlefield, the long-handled three-eyed guns are even more likely to be used than waist knives, because they are basically a long weapon that can be used as maces, and can even compete with nail guns during one-on-one fighting. Zu Zepu plans to equip all the guards of the camp in the future with this kind of weapon. As his godson, the Qing court would not mind giving his camp this kind of firearm.

However, Li Guoying, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, disagreed and felt that the cavalry used firearms to be a bit inappropriate. However, Zu Zepu and Shandong Governor Biao believed that Li Guoying could not eat grapes and said that grapes were sour. Because Li Guoying was poor and could not afford such sharp weapons, he said strange words on the side.

During a meal, Zu Zepu asked Li Guoying with a smile: "Is the musket powerful?"

"Awesome." Li Guoying admitted honestly.

"Is the cavalry powerful?"

"Of course it's amazing." If the cavalry is not powerful, why do all the governors use armored cavalry as the standard camp?

"The cavalry and muskets are naturally even more powerful." Zu Zepu has always been extremely serious in defending the honor of Guanning Iron Cavalry.

"No matter how powerful the musket cavalry is, they can't resist the Manchu soldiers' rushing." Jie Shu, who was present at the time, interrupted coldly.

"That's right, but the Han people are not Manchu soldiers." Zu Zepu toasted Prince Kang with a smile.

"Well, the three-eyed musket is still very powerful." Ebilong made a smooth move. Zu Zepu was loyal to the Manchus, and some of them were from the Liaodong Han army flags in the Biao camp, so the Qing court officials had no intention of ignoring whether he had equipped firearms.

Today, Zu Zepu arranged the Biao camp into a neat formation of 200 people in a row, with three-eyed cavalry in front of the three-eyed cavalry. Zu Zepu noticed that Deng Ming placed the cavalry in the middle, and the two wings were Shandong's fish-bottomed troops, and knew that the opponent would probably attack. Bird guns were not easy to operate on bumpy horsebacks, and the three-eyed cavalry was much more convenient. There was a distance between each row of cavalry, so three-eyed cavalry could rotate to shoot. After shooting, the three-eyed cavalry immediately retreated to the back row and dismounted and loaded.

"Cabinets are clutches, and they pay attention to taking turns to rush forward, and my formation is specifically designed to restrain cavalry." Zu Zepu said to the left and right with confidence. The favorite tactics of Mongolian cavalry is to attack and attack, attract the Ming army to open fire, then retreat and then rush to consume the Ming army's ammunition. Yesterday, when Zu Zepu asked Fu Shancha and other Sichuan and Shaanxi Biao Battalions, the other party also told him that based on their years of combat experience with Deng Ming, the same was true for Sichuan cavalry, back and forth, repeatedly attacking to pull the enemy's formation, finding the flaws before giving a fatal blow.

The three-eyed gun iron cavalry is also a cavalry. When facing the cavalry, they are not as panicked as infantry and can shoot more calmly. Zu Zepu believes that Sichuan cavalry is likely to rush forward repeatedly, so they need to have a good grasp of the distance. In this regard, Sichuan people's riding skills are definitely far inferior to those of Mongolians. Zu Zepu's view was confirmed by the Sichuan-Shaanxi Supervisor - even Mongolian cavalry, people will fall off their horses every time they charge. Zu Zepu has experienced the arrangement of mangers, filled with grass and clear water. When the knights are caught, uncontrolled war horses will run to these mangers to drink water and eat grass, and thus be captured by the Qing army.

Zu Zepu planned to use such a flexible position to ruthlessly consume Deng Ming's cavalry, as well as their precious physical strength and horsepower. They would be exhausted long before the Ming army exhausted Zu Zepu's ammunition. At this time, Governor Zu would seize the opportunity and order the entire army to launch a fierce attack, completely defeating Deng Ming's personal guards who were scattered and trapped in horses.

After such consumption, Deng Ming's personal guards would not have the chance to escape from the pursuit of the Qing army. The only regret that Zu Zepu was that Deng Ming himself would definitely stay behind to observe the enemy's material formation. At that time, he would be far away. It would be difficult for the Qing army to capture him.

Nearly five hundred Deng Ming's personal guards lined up in more than a dozen loose formations, and both the lineup and the spacing were no big difference from traditional cavalry. There were no friendly troops in front of them, and there was no need for Deng Ming to form a close formation in front of the attack. Since seeing the opponent put the musket cavalry in the front, Deng Ming knew that the enemy had given the initiative of today's battle to the Ming army. The Ming army could freely choose the time to start without being wary of the enemy's sudden charge.

Like the last time he faced the Sichuan-Shaanxi Green Camp, Deng Ming was the only person in the entire army wearing fiery red armor, and the rest, including the thirty Mongolians, were also in unified black military uniforms.

The horse was riding from the passage between friendly forces and personal guards in Shandong to the front of the formation. Deng Ming's appearance once again caused cheers. He calmly arranged the war horses and carried out the final pre-war mobilization of his subordinates: "Everyone knows that our army is now in a life-and-death battle in Jiangnan. The winner of this war will be the master of Southern China. We traveled thousands of miles across the sea to ensure that our army can win in this decisive battle. I have no secret of all that to you, if we lose Jiangnan, we will fall into a hard battle to defend Sichuan. We must use the broken Sichuan to fight against the whole of China and strive to fight the Central Plains in the north. Even with the talent of Zhuge Wuhou, it will not be realized."

"If our army is defeated in Jiangnan, if our Sichuan falls, neither I, Deng Ming nor you can survive alone." Deng Ming pointed his arm at his guards and pointed his arm behind: "Although today's battle is small, it is very important. It determines the victory or defeat of Jiangnan, the survival of Sichuan, and whether we will become the masters of Southern China and even the lord of China, or a bone that no one has hidden in the loess. Work hard."

"Victory, victory!" The black-armored cavalry broke the previous silence, waved their arms hard, and promised loudly to their commander.

"Okay, please come with Deng Ming, who cannot survive alone." Deng Ming said that, then turned his horse's head and quietly stopped in front of the soldiers, about three meters away from the first row of knights behind him.

Behind Deng Ming, the first row did not move, and the cavalry behind them penetrated forward into the gaps in the front row, and finally became a tight row of four rows that were not allowed to be hairy.

"Is this a clutch formation?" Seeing the opponent suddenly change the formation, Zu Zepu said to himself. Although Fu Shancha, Yao Changzun and others were confident, this formation seemed closer than the formation of the Manchu soldiers charging. How can you turn around and avoid firepower?

However, Zu Zepu no longer had the chance to ask Fu Shancha and Yao Changzun. At this time, Fu Shancha was located on the right wing of the entire army. After the bright red cavalry appeared on the battlefield, the Qing army on the entire battlefield was attracted and gathered on him, but Fu Shancha and his subordinates were staring at a small hill behind the Ming army formation. On that hill, you can see a large group of captured officers from the green camp. As long as the situation is wrong, Fu Shancha will ignore everything.

The earth charged towards the enemy, killed everyone who dared to stop him, and killed everyone on the hill. On the other wing of the Qing army's position, Yao Changzun, the leader of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Green Camp, stared at the hill like Fu Shancha, and turned the same thoughts as Fu Shancha. Although Deng Ming had completed the change in the attack lineup, the Sichuan-Shaanxi Green Camp ignored it, and each of them was focused on their real enemy.

Deng Ming pulled out his long horse sword and held it high. Behind him, the neat sound of swords being sheathed, and there was no need to look back and know that the guards were ready.

"Follow me." Deng Ming said calmly, then he started to move forward with a clamp on his horse's belly.

Behind him were the thirty Mongolians with the best riding skills. They insisted on protecting Deng Ming's safety in this position, which was also the common requirement of all the personal guards.

"Come with the Admiral." Seeing Deng Ming start moving forward and backward, the Mongolian thought to himself, holding the sword in his hand tightly and slowly speeding up according to the training requirements.

"Is the one in front Deng Ming?" Zu Zepu saw that the general in red did not retreat after mobilizing on the battlefield, but instead led the team forward with one move, questioning suspiciously.

"It shouldn't be," a soldier replied confidently: "This must be a substitute."

"Will this affect morale if the substitute mobilizes?" asked another person.

While speaking, Deng Ming had already increased his horse's speed to a half-charge state. The wind sounded in his ears. He pointed the horse sword diagonally forward and began to increase the horse's speed to a charge state. There was no one else beside Deng Ming. He didn't know whether the distance between him and the defender was still the same, and he didn't know whether he was too fast, so that he had opened the distance. Although the impulse to look back and look stronger, he still tried his best to restrain himself, knowing that this was definitely not a good time to turn back or slow down the horse's speed.

"How can you win the world without taking risks?" Deng Ming muttered in his heart, and suddenly shouted loudly, increasing the speed to the highest level.

I don’t know who fired the first shot in a hurry, and then I heard the sound of muskets. In a blink of an eye, the three-eyed iron cavalry located in the first row fired their muskets one after another, and white mist instantly spread across the entire battlefield, blocking the Ming and Qing armies.

A large area of ​​white mist slowly floated away. The three-eyed iron cavalry in the front row retreated, and couldn't help looking back, trying hard to see the scene behind the fog.

The second row of three-eyed cavalry opened their eyes widened and looked at the edge of the white mist ten meters away in front of them. I wonder if the enemy had avoided firepower or should have blind shots into the white mist.

Before the first row had completely retreated, a war horse suddenly jumped out of the thick fog, carrying the fiery red figure on his body and rushed towards the three-eyed iron cavalry close to him. When the sword light in the figure touched the first Qing cavalry, several black-armored knights also rushed out of the fog, followed by hundreds of people, and the entire row of Ming troops emerged from the fog.
Chapter completed!
