Section 1071 Cavalry growing up in battle
At first, Hao Shaoqi was worried, after all, the Southeast Army is dominated by the navy, and the army has no good records, and in the face of the vicious tribal cavalry, they have grown up on horseback since childhood, and whether the cavalry of our Southeast Army can defeat a strong enemy in a sudden battle is a problem that the officers are worried about.
If the cavalry could not defeat the enemy, then relying on the infantry alone would be tantamount to surrendering the mobility of the troops to the people in this vast area.
Now it seems that the cavalry of the Southeast Army can fight!
They are highly motivated, eager to win, and mentally unafraid of strong enemies.
They are well-trained, have good combat skills, and are in great health.
Swing the knife 10,000 times a day!
Although it may not be enough for this number, but the average of three thousand times is really there, after all, it is a professional army, and most of the time is spent on training, even if it is not as experienced as the other party, but the random knife is like a storm, enough to kill the master.
The instructors all said this: "You newcomers, don't compare your sword skills with them, they eat more salt than you eat, your training is just a reflex, but they are a deep-rooted reaction!" Therefore they cut theirs, and you cut yours, hoping that your sword would be sharper than theirs, and swifter than theirs. And our armor is stronger than theirs, our preferential measures are stronger than theirs, and we pay more money than theirs! ”
The young soldiers burst into laughter, they were full of energy and came quickly, far better than the Bedouins of the old, middle and young generations!
Although the tribal cavalry is powerful, it is a mixed bag, there are both warriors and indiscriminate fillers, and the southeast army has a reasonable structure, the officers have prestige and ability, and the soldiers are all young men with a lot of water, quick reaction, and the strength is better than the tribal cavalry, plus giving them two meeting salutes with shotguns and bombs, effectively disrupting the order of the tribal cavalry.
Strike first, take advantage of the chaos of the tribal cavalry, and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!
The battle was soon over, and in the face of the ambush, the Bedouins first fought them, and when they realized that they were not opponents, they immediately fled.
The Bedouins weren't oil barons at the time, they were pure nomads, skilled in oiling the soles of their feet, and running so fast.
The southeastern army pursued a little, and this time they took out their muskets, and as long as they caught up with the Bedouins, they gave them a shot and knocked down many people!
Victory!
The battle was won easily, and everyone didn't bother to celebrate, and immediately got busy.
Seduce the enemy's warhorse!
The enemy looked very faced, but their horses were quite solid, as long as they saw the ownerless horse, it was the master who had been beaten down, and the horses did not run far, and the officers and soldiers went over to tempt them.
Arab!
This is the homeland of the Arabian horse, this kind of horse is handsome, adapts to the desert climate, runs quickly, starts fast, runs smoothly, flies with four hooves, has a feeling of running on the "air cushion", the rider is refreshing, the viewer is comfortable, it is a world-class famous horse!
In the battle just now, it was clear that their horses had already traveled a long way and were exhausted, but when they fled, the cavalry of the Southeast Army could not catch up with them in a short time, which showed their speed.
The horses of the Southeast Army were collected from the country on the other side of the Strait of Malacca, and there were all breeds, both good and bad, but the overall quality was not good, and it took time to raise good horses.
The officers and soldiers rushed to dismount and find an ownerless horse, and no one else would fight with him, this is a gentleman's behavior, no one has pressed down and grabbed the horse, and there are many young boys who have tempted an Arabian horse!
The cavalry have taken this class of tempting horses, and the instructor has also demonstrated, that is, the face must not be vicious, the voice should be gentle, slowly approach the horse's head, and speak the horse language in the mouth, which is a low grunt, as if to cast magic on the horse, so that it quiets down, every time it takes a moment, the sound is a bit like the sound of "Huo --- Huo", which comes from the chest, and the horse looks blankly, people can not rush forward, but take their time.
But there's one quickest and most useful way!
Everyone took out the feed, that is, beans or peanuts have been squeezed in oil, and salt is added to the bean cake or peanut cake, which smells very fragrant after frying!
The better quality of this kind of "feed" can even be given to Ah San as a snack, they like to eat it very much, some of the third brother cavalry even a piece of bean cake people eat a bite, and the horse also takes a bite...... The Chinese officers walked away silently, unable to bear to witness!
Take out the bread and blow on the horses, the smell of salt and beans makes the horses react quickly, and they even raise their hooves to step forward, and the horse's mouth can't wait to reach out!
Let it eat, and when they finish eating, you can try to touch their horse's nose with the hand that has grabbed the bean cake, rub the horse's nose, let the horse sniff the smell of people, don't be in a hurry, and you can get the horse's favor in a kind and gentle way!
Buying horses with fodder was no avail, and a quarter of an hour later hundreds of horsemen were dressed for Arabian horses and ran happily, their original mounts, with black faces, following behind their change-minded masters like resentful women!
The battle lasted less than an hour, and it successfully routed 800 enemies, and the southeastern army moved quickly, killing more than 400 enemies, capturing more than 100 people, getting more than 100 good horses, and losing less than 50 of its own dead and wounded, half of them killed and wounded.
However, such battles were rare in the future, the enemy was no longer Madahar, they sent scouts to inquire about the army, and it was not easy to ambush them in the southeast, so they had to fight hard with them.
"Rush!" Hao Shaoqi's 2,000 cavalry faced the 1,000 and five people of the previous tribe, he greeted, and the cavalry showed their shining sabers and rode forward.
The other party doesn't know where the tribes came from, and there are so many tribes under the jurisdiction of the Turks!
They are also not to be outdone, and they also show their swords and horses to hedge against the Southeast Army!
Well, the two sides are up and down, and the saber and scimitar are slashing each other, slashing everywhere!
A minute or two later, the tribal cavalry who rushed forward was cut down, and the head part of the robe just wrapped around the human head fell to the ground, which was very convenient!
The southeast army recruited the strength of the deep, the knife was like a flash of lightning, the tribal cavalry was cut like wheat, they rolled off the horses frantically, some of the heads were cut off from the neck, and some of the bodies opened a big gap in the sharp sabers, and the blood gushed like a spring, which was extremely terrifying!
The tribal cavalry was unjust, and without waiting for the commander's command, they turned their horses back, galloped away, and fell on their horses, and pressed so tightly that they could not be seen and ran away.
They are right, even if the Southeastern Army comes out with muskets, it will not hit them!
The cavalry of the Southeast Army, who were not addicted, were surprised to find that they could not catch up with the enemy, so they could only put away their muskets stupidly, and at this moment, some people thought that they were positioned as musketeers, not cavalry!
