Chapter 531: Flexible cavalry tactics

On the northern border of Qi State. The defeated Qi Jun is returning to his homeland one after another. They were horribly beaten by the new army of the State of Yan. Especially the cavalry of Yan State. Chasing after Qi Jun like a gust of wind.

"Oh! How could our two legs run past the other's four legs?" said a defeated Qi State soldier who had escaped by chance.

After all, it is a minority that can survive. The new army of Yan State received the unified training of the Qin army, and it was no different from the Qin army in terms of weaponry and equipment and logistical supplies. If it hadn't been for the poor roads of the country of Yan, the new army of the country of Yan would have come over. In addition, Yan Jun had negotiated with Zhao Guo before, and it took a long time to re-mobilize the army.

In Yan Guo's view, Zhao Guo has the strongest combat power. It is Yan's main enemy. This is the opinion given by Qin. After solving Zhao Guo. Qi Guo became the next target. As a result, the two redeployed divisions began to turn around and join the southward operation. The maimed division was temporarily transferred back to rest.

So the two divisions went hand in hand, and the Qi army fighting for each other's horns could not resist at all. Whether it is weapons and equipment, or the quality of personnel, Qi Jun can't resist it at all. Beginning in September, the Qi army began to retreat across the board. They kept abandoning the occupied city of Yan and retreated to the border of Qi. at this time. They can't retreat anymore. Retreat is the land of Qi.

Yan Jun's progress is very fast. They have cavalry who are fast and not demanding on the road, plus, there are unimpeded plains everywhere from Yan to Qi. This allows their cavalry tactics to play to the extreme.

"Kill." Yan's cavalry suddenly sprang out from a forest. Those Qi troops who had just moved to the border of Qi were caught off guard. The infantry simply cannot intercept these cavalry like a gust of wind. Yan State used a cavalry regiment as a vanguard. They are equipped with a large number of short-barreled shotguns. The lethality of this weapon is amazing. It's often a big shot. At the same time, they are also equipped with two muskets. A sharp saber. There is also a battalion of Lancers. They are specifically used as a charge.

The cavalry team of Yan State is very flexible. Because their instructors come from the Qin army commanders with rich combat experience in the north. They often fight the Huns and Hu people. The combat experience is exceptionally rich. Sneak attack. Flanking outflank tactics, in their summary. The tactics have been played to the extreme.

The tactics of the Yan State cavalry were very similar to today's blitzkrieg. They are often used intensively. On the basis of the entire line of defense. They choose a point to make a breakthrough. Then, enter from this point and begin to harass the other party continuously. Disrupt the opponent's formation. Lead the other party into an absolute mess. They were wiped out one by one.

In specific tactics. The Yan Guo compiled a scout cavalry company. They are responsible for spying on the surrounding conditions of the Yanjun cavalry. Then quickly feedback the message to it. Once you get the news above. But the densely assembled forces bypassed the opponent's flank, or the rear. Horse cannon provided them with strong firepower support.

Set an ambush on the enemy's only way. Or it's a sudden attack on the enemy's fixed weak point of defense. The artillery also provides fire support for it. It won’t take half an hour. Qi Jun must be defeated.

Qi Jun's equipment is very backward. It can be said that the two parties are not at the same level at all. Although Qi Jun is the first large-scale equipment of muskets, artillery and other weapons among the six nations. However, when fighting against Yan. This army has lost all its weapons and equipment. Other troops were not equipped because of the high price of muskets and artillery weapons. Their weapons are still the swords, spears, and halberds of the cold weapon era.

"Boom." "Ah." Qi Jun fell to the ground screaming after being hit by a shell.

"Quick, enemy attack." The general of Qi Jun shouted loudly while standing on the chariot.

This team of nearly 5,000 people was urgently transferred to the border of Qi State. They are from Di. They didn't even think of it. This is by the Yellow River. It's impossible to run into Yan Jun. But now, unexpectedly ran into each other. This makes the generals of the organization very anxious.

The formation of the Qi army was quickly broken up by artillery. Qi Jun has never seen such a sharp weapon. A shell hit it, some exploded, and some was an iron ball. If anyone ran into it. Absolutely lifeless. These people have never fought at all. They were originally farmers. This is all pulled up temporarily.

"Kill." A burst of rumbling cavalry sprang out from the woods. Qi Jun saw that it was a cavalry. Everyone panicked. The cavalry stomped on the ground. Thousands of cavalry attacked at the same time. They rushed over like a wave. The earth was trembling.

"Run. The Yan army is here." A Qi army soldier discarded his weapon and began to flee.

"Puff." A school lieutenant directly pierced the Qi Army soldier's chest with a sword in his hand.

"Fleeers on the battlefield, kill." The school lieutenant said firmly. The Qi Army soldiers stabilized their mentality a little bit.

Seeing this opponent's cavalry kill. The Qi army quickly pieced together the messy Qi army soldiers. Many soldiers turned pale, with cold hands and feet. The hands holding the weapons were shaking constantly.

"Bang Bang." Just when they were about to fight the opposing cavalry. Their rear did not know when a group of Yan Guo cavalry ran out. They held fire-breathing pipes and fired at them non-stop. What was hit was a piece of iron beads. Qi Jun couldn't resist at all.

The already loose formation was suddenly messed up. And this time. The Yan Guo cavalry who launched a frontal charge attack also rushed forward. They are lancers. The sharp spear was under the impact speed of the horse. Severely plunged into the chest of the soldiers of the Qi army. Next. Qi Jun defeated.

The battlefield was full of Qi Jun’s painful wailing, gunfire, and wailing. The Yanjun cavalry drew out their sabers to chase their prey like chasing rabbits. One knife, then one knife, the result of Qi Jun's life.

The Yanjun's tactics were very flexible, and the scouts here found this Yanjun in fifty miles. But they only have more than two thousand people. But they decided to eat each other's five thousand people. As a result, they lie in wait on a path that must be passed. The brigade was arranged to hide in the woods far away. The artillery launched a sudden attack on it, attracting the opponent's attention. And a battalion of musketeers. Then quietly detoured to the other side of the opponent, when the artillery sounded. They began to move towards each other. When they arrive. It happens to be a head-on attack. The rear is absolutely empty. The Yanjun cavalry succeeded in one blow. Flexible cavalry tactics.
