Chapter 116: Cavalry Engagement (1)

Three thousand cavalry galloped out of the city, and a series of dull drums sounded on the head of Fengxiang Mansion.

Knock knock knock......

Zhe Keqiu personally beat the war drums, and the dull sound of war drums spread far and wide, and the 3,000 cavalry of the Zhejia army was full of momentum.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yan did not panic in the slightest, calmly and calmly ordered, and more than 1,000 cavalry jumped out of the army's formation.

"Array!"

As soon as the cavalry officer gave the order, more than a thousand cavalrymen began to trott forward, and the formation quickly became extremely neat.

A row of several people, like a wall!

It is taught by Chen Yan, the most classic cavalry charge tactic in later generations, wall charge.

The cavalry was lined up like a wall, and several men fought side by side in a row, and there was no resistance in the place they passed.

Before modern times, cavalry charges were based on kite-flying tactics, that is, hanging enemy infantry from a distance to play mounted archery.

Wait for the enemy infantry phalanx to be in disarray, and then the cavalry will rush up!

Although there are many different tactics, they basically can't get rid of this framework, and the Mongolian cavalry relied on this kite flying tactic to go all the way to Europe.

However, in modern times, such cavalry tactics have become obsolete, and have been replaced by wall charges.

The cavalry marched in a neat array like a wall, and no matter whether it was cavalry or infantry, it could kill and damage the enemy's living force on a large scale.

Especially in the face of the enemy's cavalry, the wall cavalry and the traditional cavalry hedge, absolutely one-sided crushing.

In terms of unit area, wall cavalry can put more troops, and can form a situation where several of your own cavalry can besiege an enemy cavalry.

And even if the enemy has an advantage in strength, he can't give full play, and most of the cavalry can only watch the battle from the periphery, and they can't participate in the war at all.

And this kind of cavalry needs the most rigorous training to be trained, otherwise the formation will be chaotic, and the wall cavalry will be a live target on the battlefield.

Chen Yan's more than 1,000 cavalry, most of them were composed of his elite soldiers from the time he started.

After months of rigorous training, they barely had the appearance of a wall cavalry.

At the very least, you can ride a horse and charge in formation!

"Kill!"

The cavalry of the Dang Capture Army met the cavalry of the Folding Army who were killing the flank of the Dang Capture Army.

When the cavalry generals of the Zhejia Army saw that the cavalry of the Dang Army, which had only more than a thousand horsemen, they took the initiative to charge at him, and felt that they had been despised and were furious.

"Rush, kill!"

"Kill the thief, serve the country!"

He did not hesitate to rush to the cavalry of the Dang Capture Army with the 3,000 cavalry under his command, he didn't believe that the 3,000 cavalry under his command could still defeat the 1,000 cavalry under the rebel thief.

This great achievement of killing a thousand enemies, he accepted it!

The cavalry of the Dang Capture Army rode on the war horse, with a calm expression, without saying a word, and concentrated on controlling the war horse and rushing towards the enemy.

"Shoot the arrows!"

The cavalry generals of the Zhejia army shouted, and many cavalry masters of the Zhejia army bent their bows and arrows one after another, and one arrow after another shot at the cavalry of the Dangling Army like meteors that pierced the darkness.

Woohoo......

One arrow after another pierced the air and shot into the large array of the Sweeping Monarch's cavalry.

Oooooooo......oo

But it only made a crisp sound of gold and iron clashing, and the power of the riding bow was limited after all, and it could not break through the plate armor on the body of the captive army.

The bow is also known as the crossbow, invented by Shenzong in the Northern Song Dynasty, the bow body is three feet long, the string length is two feet five, the arrow feather is several inches long, the shot is more than 340 steps, and the elm wood is half a pipe.

It is said that other instruments cannot be matched, and the power is huge, and it has become one of the standard weapons of the crossbowmen of the Song army.

Although the Song Dynasty's divine arm bow is very rebellious, the divine arm bow is not something that cavalry can use, and it must be a professional crossbowman, but even so, someone has to be on the side to assist before it can be used.

The losses of the captives were not large, only a few unlucky ones were shot in the face, or shot at the junction of the plate armor, and let out a scream and fell off their horses.

"Draw your gun! Shoot. ”

The cavalry general of the Dang Captivity Army gave an order, and the Dang Captives sergeants pulled out the pre-filled cavalry wall one after another, aimed at the Song Army on the opposite side, and pulled the trigger.

Bang Bang Bang ......

After a crisp sound, the smoke of gunpowder rose, and the armor rate of the Song cavalry was already a little outrageous, and after a burst of shooting, dozens of horsemen died.

"Ready!"

"Draw your sword, kill!"

The cavalry of the two armies approached quickly, and in the blink of an eye they collided.

The cavalry of the two sides faced each other head-on, and the Dang Capture Army was like a red-hot iron knife, easily killing into the cavalry formation of the Song army.

The cavalry of the Song army rushing in front was confused, there were more people on their side than on the other side, why were there all of a sudden? !

Before the upper touch, the cavalry of the Song army was very scattered, so it looked magnificent, as if it had the upper hand.

But as soon as the two sides came into contact, the problem came out, precisely because the Song army's formation was very open, which led to the moment of contact between the two sides.

A Song cavalry may need to face two or three, or more cavalry of the Dangling Army.

"Kill!"

A Song cavalryman raised his sword with a hideous face and slashed at a cavalryman of the Swinging Army, and this cavalryman of the Sweeping Army raised his sword to block his attack.

The comrades-in-arms around the cavalry of the Dang Capture Army rushed forward and killed the cavalry of the Song Army with one person and one sword.

The Dang captives fought forward in formation, directly cutting through the Song army's formation, and the cavalry on both sides quickly staggered past, leaving only a mutilated corpse on the ground.

Blood, internal organs, corpses......

The whole battlefield looks like an Asura hell.

Most of the corpses on the ground belonged to the Song army, and only a few were captured soldiers.

In this hedging, the Song army suffered a big loss, and the loss was at least several times that of the captive army.

"Kill!"

The cavalry generals of the Song army were a little puzzled, why their losses would be greater than that of the enemy, so they were obviously more numerous.

Taking a deep breath, he pulled the reins of his horse, led the team back, and rushed towards the captive army again.

The Dang Capture Army reacted faster than the Song Army, they didn't have to turn around, they directly followed the front team, and the war horses quickly accelerated and killed the Song Army.

The two sides rushed together again!

This time, the Song army suffered even more, they couldn't even lift the horse speed, and the Dang army killed it.

A Song army dodged the oncoming knife of the captured sergeant, and was just about to make a difficult move, a horse pistol!

However, before he could finish his actions, several sergeants rushed up.

The long knife was bright, and the brush fell, and this Song sergeant with excellent martial arts hated on the spot.

No matter how good the individual martial arts of these Song cavalry are, they have to finish playing in the face of the hooligan fighting style that the Dang Capture Army is rushing up.

The Dang Capture Army once again penetrated the cavalry formation of the Song Army!

The cavalry of the Song army was already a little panicked, and their side was completely defeated, and they were chiseled through the formation twice, and the army's morale was a little unstable.

The cavalry general of the Song army trembled, held the reins of the horse tightly, and his body was a little unstable on the horse.
