0799 Interception
As he spoke, he raised two heads in his hands to show off! said: "Look, Dashuai! These are two heads that I cut off with my own hands! ”
Liu Pei looked at the elated Yang Jingfa and couldn't help but think of what he looked like when he first met Yang Jingfa. At that time, Yang Jingfa was just an ordinary thousand households who wanted to extort some money from Liu Pei. Who would have thought that he would become such a bloodstained, murderous cavalry commander today!
Liu Pei took the head and fiddled with it in his hand, and when he saw the familiar money rat tail, he knew that this was a real tartar! After reading it, Liu Pei threw the head on the table and said, "Tell me, how did you do it?" ”
Yang Jingfa gave Liu Pei a detailed account of the battle process. Yang Jingfa did not choose the ambush site very close to the city gate. On the contrary, after careful calculation, he set the interception site more than ten miles away from the city.
In Yang Jingfa's estimate, when those Houjin cavalry escaped, they would use the fastest speed to break away from Zunhua City in the early stage. And the extremely fast running will greatly consume the power of the war horse, so it is the best interception position more than ten miles away from the city.
Because when the Houjin cavalry fled here, it happened to be the time when the horsepower was exhausted and needed to rest. And the cavalry under Yang Jingfa stayed here to wait for work, just enough to beat the Houjin cavalry!
Yang Jingfa and the others jumped off the horse after they arrived at their destination and fed the horse water and bean feed. Let the war horse accumulate stamina. He began to check the soldiers' equipment one by one.
The cavalry was slightly different in equipment than the infantry. The plate armor of the infantry consisted of two short shoulder armors, while the cavalry did not. The cavalry, on the other hand, had shin armor that went over the knees and down to the thighs. Protect both the thighs and calves. Because in cavalry combat, the torso and thighs are also vulnerable to attack.
And there was also a big gap in the equipment of the cavalry and infantry. Each cavalryman had two short guns, a saber, and a long lance. The rest of the weapons were the weapons that the cavalry had at their disposal.
When the cavalry was not collecting at night, the cavalry guns were carried by the baggage convoys. Now it's time for a war, and the soldiers have brought out their rifles. The cavalry spears were also tied with strips of cloth of various colors behind the tips of the cavalry, which looked very good when they flew in the wind!
Yang Jingfa took the trouble to check each soldier's equipment. Because he knew that his soldiers were not necessarily the opponents of the Houjin cavalry. The upcoming Houjin cavalry are all battle-hardened veterans with extremely rich experience!
And although these cavalry under his command were the best of all cavalry, they faced the real Houjin cavalry for the first time, not the horse bandits. This made Yang Jingfa a little worried. However, he is also confident that his side can win!
Yang Jingfa hid behind a small mound on the side of the road with people at this time. As long as they break out of the mounds, there are flat official roads and vast fields. It's quite far away from Zunhua City, and you can't hear the sound of fighting on Zunhua City's side at all. But Yang Jingfa still habitually looked east from time to time, as if he wanted to see the current battle situation.
They had been waiting here for a long time, and the soldiers had to massage the horse's legs in order to move their blood. So that the war horse can exert its strength faster in the cold winter for a while. At this moment, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves from far and near!
Yang Jingfa immediately stood up and quickly crawled towards the small dirt bag. As soon as he stood firm, he saw a man galloping at a fast pace on a horse. At the same time, he is waving the red cloth in his hand!
When Yang Jingfa saw this scene, a cruel smile appeared on his face! It seems that Liu Pei did not expect to be wrong, and the Houjin cavalry really withdrew from here. Yang Jingfa immediately turned around and ordered: "All get on the horse!" ”
After saying that, he himself ran down the small mound and got on his horse. When Yang Jingfa led the team onto the official road, that person had already run to the front. He exclaimed, "Here we are!" Here it comes! About 150 people! It's about five miles away!
Yang Jingfa said to him: "Go to wear armor by yourself, change horses, and stand in the last row." “
After speaking, Yang Jingfa ordered loudly: "All pay attention!" Slow ahead! Three rows of horizontal lines! Today we use the wall-riding tactic! “
These people under Yang Jingfa are selected from the top soldiers, and they are all superb in riding skills and skilled in martial arts! It's not a problem to fight alone! But Yang Jingfa just wanted to try the real wall-riding tactics.
So far, the tactics of riding the wall have been trained in the hands of the cavalry again and again, but they have never had the opportunity to use it. To deal with those horse bandits, the most ordinary tactics are enough, and there is no need to ride the wall at all.
The cavalrymen of the brigade began to lean together, and the formation became tighter. At the same time, he began to walk slowly forward. They had to walk a few hundred meters forward to get the horses to move their legs before they began to trot.
As soon as the cavalry team moved, the momentum was revealed! The neat armor, the majestic war horses, and the high-raised riding spears make the whole team extraordinarily mighty!
After the team walked a few hundred meters, Yang Jing waved his hand, and the soldiers rode their horses and trotted. The horses were kicking and trotting, spitting white mist happily. Just when they had just warmed up their bodies, Yang Jingfa had already seen a large group of cavalry in front of them slowly approaching.
Yang Jingfa saw the style of their armor and knew that it was the Houjin cavalry, which Yang Jingfa was very proud. Because his distance is just right!
The other party rode his horse and galloped for more than ten miles, and the horsepower was already exhausted. At this time, they just felt safe, so they slowed down and wanted to let the war horses rest. But even if a person is tired of running, once he stops, it is difficult to have the strength to run anymore, let alone the war horses that carry cavalry and armor! So it's time to take them on at this time!
At this time, the Houjin cavalry also discovered Yang Jingfa's team that was slowly pressing up from the front. They immediately looked a little flustered. However, the psychological advantage over the Ming army for a long time still made them decide to face it head-on. And the most important point is that they also know that their war horses are very tired at this time and can't escape! Rather than being chased by someone and being easily cut off in the end, it is better to fight to the death!
The two horsemen approached quickly. Although the number of these two teams is small at present, they represent the top strength of the Asian cavalry force! Everyone here is skilled in horsemanship, excellent in martial arts, and has participated in many battles, so they have a wealth of combat experience! At the same time, everyone here is convinced that they can beat their opponents!
The distance between the two sides soon approached to more than four or five hundred meters. Both cavalrymen began to beat their horses and speed up.
Moments later, the two teams showed a difference. The horse speed of the Houjin cavalry soon reached its maximum speed. And they are still desperately squeezing the last trace of strength of the war horse, raising the speed to the maximum.
