Chapter 19: Crushing
The cavalry started at a trot, followed by the final sprint, Zhao Hu led the team to run gently, but the horse speed was getting faster and faster, and the Tartar soldiers on the opposite side naturally began to charge, the cavalry was against each other, they were better than the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, and the war horses were also better controlled.
At the moment when the horse was about to be lifted, Zhao Hu suddenly raised the horse chopping knife in his hand, and then the team behind him immediately split into two, and they were divided to both sides.
This scene saw that the Tartar cavalry on the opposite side looked confused, and then sneered, the Ming army was dying, and if he knew that the commander of the Ming army was such a person, he would have been able to win the battle a long time ago. Batu, who rushed to the front, shook the scimitar in his hand and screamed, in his opinion, the division of the Ming army was too stupid.
Once the forces are divided, it will definitely be easier to rush out of the rear, and by the time you have assigned the cavalry on both sides to outflank it, it will be too late.
After penetrating the cavalry array of the Ming army and turning around, he will definitely be able to directly penetrate these separated cavalry. Originally, Batu was still very jealous of the armor on the Ming army, which was the armor that covered the whole body, and it was very bluffing to look at, but now Batu can see that what is the use of just being well equipped, the commander is a waste, and no matter how good the equipment is, it is useless.
On the hillside in the distance, Zhu Houzhao rode a horse, holding a telescope in his hand and looked at this side, although Zhu Houzhao didn't want to come, but in the end he didn't sit still and ran to watch the battle.
Zhu Houzhao was not surprised at all by the Ming Army's style of play, because this lineup of the Black Dragon Army had been practicing for a long time, and it was achieved after hard training. This lineup is actually to not delay the Broken Guard, after the Charger Guard is separated, what is revealed is the Broken Guard, and the Broken Guard is equipped with more than just a saber.
"What is this?"
At this time, there was a broken guard in front of Batu's eyes, different from the cavalry in front of him, although these people are also full body armor, but their equipment is different, it is actually a spear, and it is not a spear in the general sense, this kind of spear is too long, right? What is the role of this cavalry?
Zhu Houzhao will never doubt the effect of the pike's formation, with a fast enough horse speed and plate armor with better defense, there is absolutely no opponent in a straight line when equipped with a spear.
Of course, are there drawbacks? Of course there is, that is, it is not easy to turn around, the flexibility is poor, and they can only rush one line, and after a battle is over, they may not have a second chance to rush into the formation, but what Zhu Houzhao wants is the invincibility of this line, and the same is true for the division of troops in the front of the assault battalion, the main camp can block the enemy, and when the assault battalion is reversed, then there will be nothing to do with the Tartar soldiers.
Soon the Tartar soldier realized the power of this spear, and before you could attack him, his spear was already stabbed directly into you.
The hedge of two horses, what a lot of power, under such a force, the spear stabbed in the body, and the person flew out directly.
The cavalry and lancers with knives rushed up, there was really no advantage, and it was very difficult to cause damage in the face of plate armor, and at the moment of engagement, the broken camp of the Ming Dynasty caused great damage to the Tartars, and in the face of the Ming pikes, the momentum of the Tartar cavalry also slowed down, and it was basically impossible to rush directly over.
Zhu Houzhao put down the binoculars in his hand and said with a smile: "This is the crushing of equipment and money, and fighting is money!" ”
This truth is understood by everyone in later generations, with money, morale, and good equipment, it is difficult to lose. Good equipment and good morale can actually be achieved through money in this era, seeing this kind of one-sided battle, Zhu Houzhao was not surprised, he had carefully prepared for so long, plus so much money to smash into it, if there was no such effect, then don't do it yourself.
In fact, the cavalry combat in many later film and television works is very fake, and they don't move when they rush together, and they fight on horses, but it's not like that at all.
The cavalry is strong in mobility, after the start of the fight, it is a charge, directly rush over, the horse slows down that is looking for death, after the kill, turn the horse back and continue to kill, the purpose is to break the opponent's formation, kill enough people on the other side. Zhu Houzhao was deeply impressed by the cavalry battle in "Bright Sword" in his previous life, because it was real enough.
Although the shooting scene is not large, it is a cavalry battle, and it is absolutely impossible to slow down the speed of the horses in the battle formation, let alone chop each other on the spot, which is an act of looking for death.
In the same way, how to make yourself rush up and slow down the speed of the opponent's horse, this is also a key point in cavalry combat, it is very simple, a large number of people who kill and injure the opponent, so that their horses are uncontrolled, the front team blocks the rear team, the natural speed will be reduced, and the pikemen will not be able to rush up, and the pikemen will have such an effect.
"The barrel of the gun has been broken a lot!" Wang Shouren looked at the battlefield below and spoke, but there was no strange expression on his face.
Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "That can only prove that they are brave in battle." ”
The spearmen's guns are all long wooden poles, and the iron ones are too heavy for people to lift, and the horses can't stand it, and at the same time, the role is mutual, and the impact will make the soldiers who use the spears also injured, so they will use wooden poles. If the impact is too intense, the spear will break, and the pikemen will have to use other weapons to fight.
The battle soon became one-sided, and when the Tartar cavalry charge slowed down, the assault battalion was already fighting from behind.
The shouts of killing on the battlefield shook the sky, but Zhu Houzhao knew that the battle here would not last long, so Zhu Houzhao turned his head and said to Wang Shouren: "Send an order to the scout guards and the second charge guard to let them catch up, find the fleeing tribe, and then take it." ”
Zhu Houzhao said that the clouds are light and the wind is light, in fact, it is so light and light, this is the crushing of war.
The battlefield below was quickly chaotic, Batu had already been picked on the spear, and Battle, who was carrying five thousand cavalry behind, was blinded, how could this be? Why did this fail? Originally, Battle still wanted to rush up to give the Ming army's assault battalion a moment, but he soon gave up this idea, and a large number of Ming cavalry rushed up on the left and rear flanks.
Although they were not pikemen, they were also plate armor and swords, and these cavalry rushed directly towards Battle.
Looking at the cavalry of the Ming army everywhere, Battle knew that he had no skills to recover from the sky, and he couldn't do it if he wanted to delay time, so he simply turned the horse's head, waved his hand, and beat the horse's belly with his legs, and ran away at a fast speed. When the others saw this scene, they naturally ran along, which directly led to a rout.
