1009:Battle of Northern Xinjiang (45)
3,000 heavy cavalry, more than 10,000 light cavalry hedged, what a spectacular and shocking scene?
The audience in the live broadcast room watched everything from a high-altitude perspective, and this scene also had the greatest impact on them.
Jiang Pengji took the lead, and the northern Xinjiang side was a passive defense, but they quickly showed the qualities that a nomad should have, and the quality of their reaction was impressive. Finding that Jiang Pengji's side had no more than 3,000 cavalry, the sixth prince breathed a sigh of relief.
What can 3,000 cavalry do in the midst of an army of more than 100,000?
Besides, these cavalrymen are wearing heavy armor one by one, and the horses are also covered with fish scale armor, how fast can they move?
The terrain in the north is relatively flat, which has a natural advantage for the highly mobile light cavalry, and this terrain also allows the cavalry to maximize the tactics of interspersing with circuits. In contrast, the speed of the heavy cavalry was weaker, and the march was slower.
The cavalry of the northern frontier was as fast as the wind, coming and going without a trace.
Even if they were preempted, they would be able to strike backwards, bypassing the front of the heavy cavalry and going around the weak flanks of the enemy.
Because of the fact that the deception should be reported internally, the northern Xinjiang knew Jiang Pengji's layout in advance, so he simply avoided the frontal edge and attacked the weak wings.
When the sixth prince saw that the battlefield was stable, he immediately took a reassuring pill.
The grassland is the world of their three clans in northern Xinjiang, and it is also the home field of the cavalry galloping in northern Xinjiang.
Fu Wang sneered, "Stupid-"
He couldn't take care of the entire battlefield, but when he learned that the northern cavalry avoided frontal hedging and instead attacked the "weak point", he knew that the northern frontier would suffer a big loss. It is true that 3,000 ordinary cavalry rushed into an army of more than 100,000 troops, and they may not be able to set off much wind and waves, but this is a heavy cavalry!
The audience overlooking the entire battlefield can see it more intuitively.
[Tangyuan Warrior]: Is Northern Xinjiang too poor to form a heavy cavalry team?
[The wind also goes leisurely]: #抠鼻, isn't northern Xinjiang just a poor country, don't you see that their cavalry is basically rattan armor cloth?
Audiences live in the age of information explosion, and what information they want to know, they can find out by searching the Internet.
Since knowing that Jiang Pengji was going to fight with Northern Xinjiang, many viewers went to check the relevant history.
The light cavalry has the advantages of light cavalry, and the speed and mobility are strong, but the heavy cavalry loses the speed advantage, and the destructive power also goes up.
[Drunken Cloud Cat Demon]: The terrain of northern Xinjiang is vast, the light cavalry has more room to live, and the cost of forming heavy cavalry is too great, of course they can't choose the heavy cavalry that costs a lot of money and is thankless. It's not that they don't have knowledge, it's just that there is no soil for the development of heavy cavalry in this part of northern Xinjiang. They only remembered the speed of the light cavalry, and did not know the destructive power of the heavy cavalry in cutting formation and ramming.
[Ghost Talent Guo Fengxiao]: Tsk - I feel sorry for the northern frontier, let the light cavalry use its mobility to sneak attack the two wings of the anchor army, this command is not wrong, but it exposes your own army to the impact range of the heavy cavalry - to tell the truth, this is not how to send people's heads-
[Old Driver Lianmeng]: I remember that the war horses that the anchor picked for the heavy cavalry barracks were all heavy horses, and the weight of the heavy horses was between 700 kilograms and 1,200 kilograms, which was taller than an adult man. The minimum weight of a war horse is 700 kilograms, how can an adult man weigh 70 kilograms, and the armor, weapons and bits and pieces on his body are 30 kilograms. Think about it, more than 3,000 things weighing up to 800 kilograms collided head-on, and they were not one or two actions but more than 3,000 together-
The northern frontier only cared about the small number of Jiang Pengji's cavalry and couldn't make waves, but they forgot the terrible destructive power of the heavy cavalry.
The Northern Frontier cavalry attacked one step slower than the enemy, but they were one step ahead of the two wings of Jiang Pengji's army.
The left flank of the army was led by Li Yun, who had been waiting here for a long time.
The officers and men of the horse slashing battalion have been in full array, and the horse rejection rifles specially prepared for the cavalry in northern Xinjiang have also been prepared, and they have been arranged in row after row.
Rejection of horse pistol: two feet in diameter, cross chiseled holes, vertical and horizontal security checks, long battles, sharp ends, people and horses are not allowed to gallop.
This is an obstacle used to block the charge of the cavalry of the Northern Frontier, and the soldiers can also use it to form a horse formation, which greatly restricts the charge of the cavalry of the Northern Frontier.
"Standing shield—"
"A column!
"One column backs, and two follow—"
Li Yun shouted, and immediately a special soldier played the correct battle flag command.
When the first group of soldiers were stabbed with blood from their horse pistols, the cavalry immediately bypassed and attacked in a roundabout way. Li Yun commanded his soldiers to move the repulsion pistol, and consumed the strange soldiers in the northern Xinjiang to the greatest extent, making them tired of running around in a roundabout way. When the defense line of the horse rejection camp was breached, the soldiers of the horse slashing battalion formed a shield to resist the cavalry charge, and then the soldiers stabbed the enemy with spears.
The northern cavalry could not break through the left flank defense line for a while, but suffered heavy losses.
Paralysis –
It's like a weak defense?
In contrast, the battlefield on the right flank is different, and the cavalry in the northern frontier is like a no-man's land, fighting one after another.
But killing and killing, the eighth prince, who commanded the battlefield on the right flank, found that something was wrong.
Why are the enemies they fight all the deep-faced barbarians of the Northern Frontier?
He immediately thought of the tribe that had surrendered to Jiang Pengji, and his heart was shocked.
However, where is the battlefield where there is time for him to think more?
The Northern Cavalry reacted too quickly, and by the time the eighth prince realized that something was wrong, the Northern Frontier Surrender Troops who were pushed to the front line on the right flank by Jiang Pengji had already died. She deliberately relaxed the defense line on the right flank, didn't she just let the northern Xinjiang lift a stone to shoot herself in the foot?
Count her?
When she Jiang Pengji was crisscrossing the interstellar battlefield, the father of these hairy boys was still a little tadpole!
"The army obeys me—"
Jiang Pengji saw that it was almost over, and the real horn sounded, which aroused the soldiers' fighting spirit in an instant.
At the same time, more than 3,000 cavalry have also rushed into the northern army.
To make a figurative analogy -
The heavy cavalry is the bandits who enter the village, and the northern Xinjiang is the little girl in the village, one by one, with her body exposed, without an inch, and her face is shy.
Although this metaphor is a bit unorthodox, for the northern frontier, they have indeed been ravaged by inhumanity.
It is difficult for one or two heavy cavalry to inflict massive destruction, but what about three thousand people acting together?
Trampling all the way, brutally ravaged all the way.
Like a huge machete, it easily stabbed into the fatty pork, tearing out a big gap in an instant.
For the heavy cavalry battalion established by Jiang Pengji with a lot of money, the generals were worried, and the strategists frowned.
Before that, heavy cavalry was not nothing, but the scale was small and small, and it was difficult to become a big weapon.
First, there are technical limitations, and ironmaking technology is immature.
Second, due to financial constraints, the cost of manufacturing armor is too great.
In the eyes of strategists and generals, these heavy cavalry are not soldiers, and they are moving mountains of gold and silver.
How powerful the heavy cavalry is, they don't know how much they have in their hearts.
Seeing the destructive power of the heavy cavalry from afar, Feng Zhen directly gasped and spat out "golden sentences".
"It's worth the money—"
