Chapter 954: Sharp Light Cavalry
However, the speed of the cavalry battalion was so fast that Sima Jun couldn't react at all, although Man Bing had already given the order to meet the battle, but before he could change the formation, the state army had already been killed.
The cavalry battalion was like a sharp knife, easily tearing through the defense line of the Sima army at a very fast speed, and launched an attack, killing the Sima army on his back.
The cavalry was originally a class of troops that won by speed, and the faster the speed, the stronger the impact, and the huge inertial impact easily broke through the defense line of Sima Jun.
Although Sima Jun is also a cavalry, when they are attacked, they are in a static state, and the war horses can't run, so naturally there is no impact at all, and because the formation is just about to change, it is inevitable that there will be some chaos.
And the speed of the Bingzhou army is beyond imagination, they are like a whirlwind, incredibly fast, so fast that the cavalry of the Sima army began to doubt life, the same cavalry, why can the cavalry of the Bingzhou army run so fast, obviously they are still far away from sight, how to blink a few times, they have already been killed.
How is this possible? You must know that war horses are divided into upper, middle and lower grades, and inferior horses are generally not used for riding, and the war horses used in the cavalry battalion are basically upper and middle horses, and there is no obvious difference in speed, unless it is the kind of horse that is one in a thousand.
But the reason why this kind of superb war horse is called the best is because of its scarcity, if the streets are full of thousands of horses, then they can't be called the best.
Obviously, it is impossible for the Bingzhou army to get so many thousands of horses, why is their speed so frighteningly fast, there is still time to calmly set up a formation to meet the enemy from the Sima army, but because the speed of the Bingzhou army is too fast, they were completely caught off guard.
Although the Xiao cavalry are equipped with long qangs, they prefer to use sabers when they rush to kill, and the sabers of the state army are not the ring-headed knives that are popular today, but a kind of knife improved by Cao Liang based on the Mo knives of the Tang Dynasty.
Compared with the characteristics of the ring head knife, the ring head, the narrow body, the long blade, and the straight back, the saber designed by Cao Liang has increased the length of the handle on the basis of retaining the ring head, and can be used with one hand or both hands. Due to the use of bilateral stirrups, riders have been able to completely free their hands, and one-handed weapons can no longer meet their needs, so this two-handed saber soon became the standard equipment of the state cavalry.
Compared with the ring head knife, the saber has a longer blade, and the head of the knife has changed from a straight blade to a curved blade, and a blood groove has also been added to the knife body, which is more convenient for the cavalry to slash and stab on the horse, and the biggest advantage of two-handed weapons over one-handed weapons is the power of chopping, relying on the strong inertia of the war horse and the sharpness of the saber, it can easily split the opponent's heavy armor.
Sima Jun wanted to use his weapon to block the slashing of the cavalry, but they sadly found that no matter whether he used the long qang to block or the ring head knife to block, the sabre of the Xiao cavalry could cut off the weapons in their hands without much effort, and even the heavy armor on their bodies could not save them.
When the sharp blade cut through the armor and blood splattered out, the despair of Sima cavalry was frozen at that moment.
The speed is as fast as the wind, the saber sharpens the iron like clay, this cavalry battalion, or did they know the cavalry battalion before? The combat effectiveness displayed by the cavalry battalion today is completely incomparable.
The Xiao cavalry was like a bamboo, like chopping waves, rushing the right wing battalion of the Sima army, and the right wing battalion was defeated and retreated, without the power to fight back.
Man Bingke is the son of a famous minister, after being a famous general, Man Bing is naturally full of arrogance, this time he followed Sima Yi to the north to conquer the state, just to think of becoming famous in a war, so that everyone in the world knows that they are not only a famous general.
Being able to command a cavalry battalion of 10,000 people, Man Bing can be described as infinitely beautiful, he rode a white tall horse, wore bright new armor, full of spirit, full of ambition, eager to win something in this battle of Bingzhou.
But the ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny, when the Bingzhou cavalry rushed up, this fierce and almost unreasonable style of play, killing Sima soldiers on their backs, there is no power to resist.
Man Bing was immediately stunned, all of this is completely different from what he imagined, he said that he was invincible, and he said that he was invincible, and he said that he was invincible, but he was beaten by others in the end, this gap is really too big, right?
In any case, Man Bing still had to muster up his spirit to command the right-wing battalion to meet the battle, but at this moment, under the strong impact of the Xiaocai battalion, the right-wing battalion had completely become a plate of scattered sand, and it was so beaten that it could not even be found in the north, and it was retreating one after another, and it was impossible to organize an effective defense at all.
However, the Xiao cavalry battalion became more and more courageous, and after tearing through the defense line of the Sima army, it was even more aggressive, and rampaged in the Sima army's array, as if entering a no-man's land.
The sharp saber cut out a sharp cold light, easily harvesting the lives of the Sima cavalry, and the battle showed signs of one-sided from the beginning, and the state army gained an overwhelming advantage.
Wen Qin did not invest all his strength from the beginning, but sent the sharp knife troops to tear apart the defense line of the Sima army first, and then successively put the follow-up troops into it, forming a continuous offensive, but whenever the Sima army had the slightest intention of resisting, it would be attacked by the cavalry battalion.
This continuous suppressive offensive kept the entire battle situation in a controllable state, Wen Qin stood on a high ground, giving orders one after another with a cold expression, and the Xiao cavalry battalion strictly carried out Wen Qin's orders, and the oppressive attack made the right wing battalion of the Sima army powerless.
This is the first battle after the restructuring of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, although the training effect is quite good, but has not yet experienced the actual combat, Wen Qin is not sure that the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is successful, so this battle Wen Qin has been fully prepared, detailed planning, all the tactical details of the attack He personally checked, and strive to be foolproof.
The attack of the Xiao cavalry battalion this time completely played the characteristics of the light cavalry, which was fast, had strong mobility ability, and excellent detour ability, and all the advantages of the light cavalry were brought into full play, no matter from that point of view, they were all perfect.
However, this attack did not last long, and just when everyone thought that the cavalry battalion would take advantage of the victory to pursue, Wen Qin decisively gave the order to retreat.
