Chapter 154: The Cavalry Attack

"What's going on?"

Qin Yu rode on the horse, felt the war horse under his crotch, seemed to be frightened by something, a little uncontrollable, became restless, and suddenly shouted.

"Brother, it's broken, there's a brigade of cavalry attacking..."

"Yes, looking at this movement, I'm afraid there are thousands of riders, it should only be more than ten miles away from us."

Niu Er galloped over in a hurry on horseback, and shouted from afar.

And Ma Ying jumped off the war horse as soon as possible, put his ears on the ground, and then stood up with a dignified face.

"What, there are cavalry, where?"

"That direction."

Qin Yu put his hand on the pergola, looked around, and found that there was nothing, but the red warbler hurriedly pointed to the east.

"Blow the trumpet, and the whole army will line up to meet the enemy."

Qin Yu saw that what the two of them said was serious, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately ordered.

After all, they are still on the edge of the Han River, they have not yet entered the mountains, and the surrounding terrain is very open, if there are really thousands of cavalry attacking, if they do not deal with it well, I am afraid that they will suffer a big loss.

Suddenly, a long and rapid horn sounded.

Twenty young guards took out the horns hanging from their waists and blew them vigorously with their cheeks.

After the horn sounded, everyone who didn't know what was happening reflexively gathered in line to look for their own team flags and camp flags.

In the wilderness, three battalions of infantry and five battalions of muskets were the fastest, and they were assembled in a matter of moments.

This was followed by five barracks, and although the ranks were sparse and staggered, they were divided into five parts.

However, the five battalions with the same number of people were forced to stand by these heroes of different sizes, and the gap between the sparse and dense was huge.

The engineer battalion and the rear battalion are much worse, because there are too many mules and horses, nearly 10,000 horses and horses are in a mess, people are shouting and neighing everywhere, and the red warbler is leading more than 1,000 female soldiers, galloping back and forth and shouting.

Fortunately, they were in the middle of the ranks, and at this time the battalions had already been arrayed, and with the assistance of the heralds, the three infantry battalions moved to the east on the right side at the first time, and the five firearm battalions moved to the west on the left side.

Five battalions, two in front and three in the rear, the army was rapidly expanding, the middle was closed, and the two ends were spread out to the wings.

At this time, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves was already clearly audible, and I saw the smoke and dust billowing in the east, and it seemed that there were ten thousand horses galloping, and Qin Yu was also in a hurry.

"Qin Tie, you go and tell the girl of the red warbler in person, don't give Lao Tzu a whole team anymore, hurry up and drive the people and horses to a bunch as much as possible."

"Yes!"

When Qin Tie heard this, he immediately slapped his horse and rushed forward.

In fact, there was no need for Qin Yu's order at all, and the red warbler was also extremely anxious, and she couldn't care about the formation and men and women anymore.

It's just a matter of blindly driving people to the middle and shrinking the ranks to the minimum, preferably from person to horse.

Naturally, the attack was the Guanning Iron Cavalry led by Cao Bianjiao, with a full 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 war horses.

As soon as he received Hong Chengchou's order, Cao Bianjiao led the cavalry and galloped from Guanghua County for a day and a night, and finally blocked this gang of thieves on the edge of the Han River.

But when they ran closer, their jaws almost didn't drop, and this group of thieves not only did not flee in all directions and fall into chaos, but instead put more than a dozen military formations in large and small places.

"Major General, this anti-thief is not simple, not only is there no chaos, but the reaction is so fast."

"Humph! Lao Tzu wants to see if they are really not simple, or if they are just showmanship. ”

"Points! Assault the front three phalanxes. ”

Cao Bianjiao snorted coldly, put the lance in his hand on the victory hook, took off the longbow and burst into a shout.

The three thousand horsemen immediately split into three and rushed towards the easternmost three infantry phalanxes.

One by one, they screamed, some brandished long knives, and some bent bows and arrows, but the speed of the war horses under their crotches did not decrease at all.

"Don't be afraid, the front ones close their eyes, the marshal said that the cavalry is a paper tiger, they are scaring people, as long as we don't move, they will never dare to rush up, the archers are ready for Lao Tzu, shoot these bitches!"

Looking at the cavalry rushing up, the three commanders and the captains all shouted loudly.

And the three phalanxes have turned into circular formations at this time, and they are all tightly bound together.

Shields were next to shields, and some of the timid ones really closed their eyes, and the spears were as dense as hedgehogs, and five hundred archers bent their bows and arrows in the middle.

At this time, I saw the benefits of Qin Dashuai's usual publicity.

What cavalry is a paper tiger, attacking the infantry phalanx is to scare people, cavalry is a live target when it encounters a firecracker, it is only a group when it encounters a cavalry, and running around is a lamb to be slaughtered.

Because Qin Yu always felt that the Ming army was not defeated by the Qing army.

Rather, they were frightened, especially in the later stages.

Before the end of the war, the special ones were terrified, treating the Qing army as a man-eating tiger and a bloodthirsty demon king, and they had the idea that they would never be able to win, and how could they be undefeated on the battlefield?

No matter how many people there are, it's all for nothing.

Just like the myth of the invincibility of the Japanese army propagated by the Japanese devils in later generations, the truth is the same.

Therefore, it is very important to have been in the army's propaganda.

Every day someone tells you that you are a hero, and after a long time, even a bear will become a hero.

"Put!"

Whoa...

Before the two sides collided together, a rain of arrows collided first, and suddenly the cavalry flipped on their backs.

And the infantry, because of the wide rattan helmets on their heads and shields on the periphery, did not fall much.

Cao Bianjiao and the other two cavalry generals were all shocked, the other party did not collapse in the face of their impact, it was already unexpected, who would have thought that there were so many archers.

Immediately understand that when you meet a hard bone, persimmon picks up a soft pinch, everyone understands this truth, the three circular formations in front, all with helmets and armor, shields and guns, plus uniform clothing, at first glance are elite, so the three teams of cavalry are bypassing the three infantry phalanxes and running towards both sides.

The heroes on both sides were about to be much more unbearable, trembling as they watched the cavalry come to the slaughter.

Because they didn't have shields or rattan helmets, and only a few of them had torn cotton armor, but the thing was too hot to wear, and almost all of it was stored in the back camp, and the shields were too much of a nuisance to mention.

I wanted to wear a rattan helmet to shade the sun, but this kind of scarce high-end gadget, King Qin was reluctant to match them.

Especially those who are disgusted by the heat, or who want to show off their strong physique in front of female soldiers, wear shorts, and play shirtless.

At this time, the intestines are all repentant.

Whoa...

"Oops..."

"Ahh

For a while, it was full of terrible screams and wolf howls, and the heroes of the three battle arrays were shot by the bows and arrows of the cavalry, and hundreds of people fell.

"Don't mess up, resist Lao Tzu, the king said that the more you run, the faster you die!"

There was a commotion in the team, and the commanders and captains in iron-inlaid cotton armor shouted one after another.

"I'll fuck you, you give Lao Tzu a try."

A big shirtless man, with an arrow stuck in his shoulder, grinned in pain, roared, and turned around and squeezed into the middle.

King Qin looked at the three heroic battalions that were in a mess, his face was black to the bottom of the pot, but he didn't care about their life or death, and adjusted the three infantry battalions and the five fire battalions by himself.

The second wave of arrows struck, and the three battalions of heroes finally collapsed, and they fled to the rear camp and the engineer battalion in the middle, and the other two battalions had to flee to the middle when they saw this.

Cao Bianjiao frowned, although he killed the opponent's five army formations, it was still a little different from what he imagined.

The other party did not abandon his blades and fled in all directions, but fled in the middle, crowded with people, the key is that the eight phalanxes in the east and west did not follow the chaos, and were still moving slowly.

At this time, if they rush up and slash and kill the rout, they will definitely fall into a quagmire, and the eight phalanxes will also take the opportunity to surround them, and these three thousand horsemen will have to ride in.

Therefore, he called the cavalry to go around to the west, intending to scatter the five small phalanxes and completely disturb the formation of the other party, and even if these thieves had thirty or forty thousand men and horses with knives and guns, they were lambs to be slaughtered.
