It is no exaggeration to say that the Tatar cavalry is fierce.
Surrounded by Ming troops that were several times larger than their own, the leader Wan Hu was killed by Gu Qing, who hacked his way out of a bloody path with his scimitar and horse.
For example, if the numbers are equal, cavalry against infantry, or the ferocious wolves on the grassland against the poorly trained guards of the capital, it is like a tael against a gram, with obvious advantages and the difference being immediately apparent.
After the initial panic, the Tatar cavalry split into several groups. Under the leadership of thousand-man and centurion commanders, they took advantage of the high ground and first used bows and arrows to sweep away the nearby enemies to clear space. Then they used several cavalry as the spearhead and slashed left and right with scimitars. When they found the weak points of the infantry, they immediately joined forces and charged forward at all costs.
The Ming army was aware of its own shortcomings and tried to split the cavalry, relying on its superior strength to crush them with numbers.
