The attacks of the cavalry wall seemed endless, one after another, defeating the two Niulu Jiannu who came to fight.
"If the first team loses more than half of their troops during the charge, the second team will only lose 30% at most, and the third team—probably less than 10%."
Ma Chengfei was not only the emperor's personal guard, but also had the task of observation. He watched the situation on the battlefield change and made estimates and judgments in his mind.
"Also, the second, third, and even subsequent teams don't need to charge too fast. This will make it easier to train and control during combat."
The longer the distance of the charge and the faster the speed, the more difficult it is to control the formation. Ma Chengfei has experienced this personally and knows it very well.
Alternatively, the distance between the cavalry could be relaxed to allow only one horse to pass through, as is the case now. This would make it easier to bypass unexpected obstacles on the road, especially the wounded and the bodies of men and horses.
Of course, Ma Chengfei was not sure whether increasing the distance meant that the formation would be more difficult to control.

Amin did not send any more troops into the battlefield. He had seen the power of the Ming cavalry's bizarre tactics and the allied forces on the other side, who were ready for action. What made him even more hesitant was the well-organized and ready Ming cavalry.
Now, he only had two thousand complete cavalry in his hands, and the rest of the horses had been involved in the melee. As the Mongolian cavalry continued to be deployed, the troops on the battlefield were being beaten by the superior enemy.
If we don't continue to send troops to rescue them, it is estimated that not many people will be able to escape.
But Amin had no idea how to counter the Ming army's cavalry and its bizarre tactics. The "add fuel" tactic was clearly ineffective, but wasn't the stakes too high to commit the entire army?
