Chapter 395: The Charging Wall!

When various slogans sounded, it was announced that the final charge of the cavalry troops had begun!

The cavalrymen did not care about the physical strength of the war horse, so that the war horse began to run quickly, and at the same time, the saber in his hand was also taken off the shoulder, and then pointed slightly forward and downward, and the whole person bowed on the horse's back, and the whole person's movement was actually heavily dependent on the stirrups of the feet.

The cavalry of the new army of the Tang Dynasty finally launched the final charge!

And their charge is completely different from the cavalry charge of the Ming army before!

If the cavalry charge of the explanation army is a wave, one after another, free and unrestrained, then the cavalry charge of the Datang New Army is a, and the charging speed is actually not fast, because they have to maintain a formation, and the formation is relatively dense, and the actions of the cavalry are neat and consistent, and even the action of drawing the knife requires the official order of the officer, and the knife is drawn in advance without authorization, which is a violation of the order, without the officer's order, let the war horse trot or simply charge, and it will be executed on the spot in front of the battle!

From a distance, such a cavalry of the Tang New Army looks like a thick and still moving city wall!

Therefore, when the cavalry of this Datang New Army is charging, it will give people an illusion, as if they are not cavalry, but a city wall that is charging!

The dense and neat formation of the cavalry of the Tang New Army immediately caused the cavalry of the Ming army on the opposite side

And this tactic has a special name: Wall Charge!

At the same time, this kind of wall charge is also a standard tactic of modern cavalry!

The straggler charge of the traditional cavalry and the modern wall cavalry charge, regardless of whether it is heavy armor or light cavalry, are basically the modern cavalry that uses the wall cavalry charge to take advantage, one of the biggest reasons is that the formation of the traditional cavalry is relatively scattered, although it seems that the scale is very large, but after the two sides come into contact, the traditional cavalry often needs to be a person at the same time to face two or even more than three modern cavalry!

Even if the martial arts of traditional cavalry are stronger, it is actually difficult to get cheap!

And the most critical point is that modern cavalry is basically a product that can be mass-produced, and the quality requirements for soldiers and even war horses are lower, in other words, the cost is lower.

The traditional cavalry needs to be trained from an early age, and the requirements for personal martial arts are extremely high, and the battle loss exchange between modern cavalry and traditional cavalry is not to mention one to one, even if it is two to one or even three to one, modern cavalry is cost-effective.

However, generally speaking, modern cavalry often has more wins than defeats against traditional cavalry, and even the Mamluk cavalry, which is recognized as the most powerful traditional cavalry, has not been able to play a one-to-one exchange ratio with the engagement of modern cavalry.

The cavalry of the Datang New Army is not strictly speaking a modern cavalry, but according to Li Xuan's requirements, when training and fighting, more attention is paid to the neatness of the formation, and its training and even tactical thinking is actually to imitate the infantry units in the Datang New Army.

The infantry of the Datang New Army is playing line tactics, paying attention to extremely harsh battlefield discipline, and the cavalry of the Datang New Army will naturally follow some of the core concepts of the infantry.

In addition, the cavalry in Li Xuan's impression are all the kind of cavalry that line up neatly and launch intensive charges with sabers, so naturally the cavalry units are also required to develop in this direction.

But Li Xuan just asked for this, and how to do it was up to Cao Mingda and the cavalry officers to explore it on their own, so Cao Mingda and them were referring to some characteristics of traditional cavalry on the one hand, and on the other hand, they were also imitating some of the core concepts of the infantry in the new army of the Tang Dynasty.

In the end, the existing cavalry unit of the Datang New Army was created!

However, even if this cavalry is somewhat similar to modern cavalry, but there are very different cavalry when it charges, it still shows the most basic characteristics of modern cavalry charging: neat formation and dense charge!

Those cavalry generals of the Ming army on the opposite side, how could they have ever seen this kind of cavalry charge, even if it was a heavy cavalry charge in the traditional cavalry, it was impossible to be the same as the pseudo-Tang thief cavalry in front of them, the formation was so tight, and the formation was so unified!

Is this still a charging cavalry?

If the infantry of the pseudo-Tang thief army can maintain a dense formation and move in a uniform manner, they don't think it's strange, after all, this kind of thing can actually be done by the traditional army as long as the training is stricter.

But cavalry can also play like this?

How can this be like this, don't they know that the cavalry should disperse when they charge, so that the cavalry can use their martial arts as much as possible to fight?

They will not understand at all that the cavalry of the New Army of the Tang Dynasty does not emphasize personal martial arts at all, and they never even train the martial arts of cavalry, but only train the simplest to chop and chop immediately.

Therefore, the cavalry of the Tang New Army will never play one-on-one fighting when fighting, in fact, they can't play the cavalry of the Ming Army like this.

Like the infantry of the Datang New Army, they are good at collective combat, relying on dense formations to crush the enemy, and many cavalrymen may not even have the opportunity to wield their swords in the course of the battle, but this does not affect the great results that they can achieve when charging as a team.

Just like now, when the more than 300 cavalry of the Tang New Army crashed into the oncoming Ming cavalry like a dense city wall.

And at this time, if you look at it from a distance, then the scene you see is that the Ming cavalry is huge, and the number is twice or more than that of the Tang cavalry, and the scene is completely that the Ming cavalry completely submerged the Tang cavalry.

Lord Long and other senior generals of the Ming Army in the distance couldn't help but smile when they looked at this scene.

Just now, their own cavalry attacked the infantry phalanx of the puppet Tang thief army, but it was a failure, which made many Ming army generals quite incomprehensible.

That's just a group of pseudo-Tang thieves, no matter how strong they are, they are just a group of thieves, at most they are stronger than the homeless.

And those are just the infantry of the pseudo-Tang thief army!

How could a similar number of cavalry storm the infantry, how could it not break through the line of defense of the thief army?

This is incomprehensible to many Ming generals, but even if it is incomprehensible, the cavalry of the Ming army still retreats.

Of course, just now and even now, many generals of the Ming army did not think that the infantry of the puppet Tang thief army repelled their own cavalry, but that the artillery of the puppet Tang thief army was too fierce, so they would let their cavalry suffer heavy losses, so that they could not break through the infantry phalanx of the puppet Tang thief army.

It is actually okay for them to think so, because in fact, the casualties of more than 200 people of the Ming cavalry were really caused by the artillery units of the Tang New Army.

Now, their own cavalry has flooded the cavalry of the puppet Tang thief army, which makes many Ming army generals more determined to believe that their own cavalry is still very combative, as long as there is no sharp artillery of the puppet Tang thief army, whether it is the infantry or cavalry of the puppet Tang thief army, they will not be able to stop their own cavalry charge.

Isn't that what it is now?

Then, this is just an outsider's idea If it was the Ming cavalry who were fighting with the cavalry of the Datang New Army at this moment on the front line, and knew that the adults above thought so, then they would definitely scold?

Who the said that the cavalry of the pseudo-Tang thief army is just a look, who said that we have completely submerged the pseudo-Tang thief army, obviously the cavalry of the pseudo-Tang thief army has drowned us, okay.

Judging from the normal cavalry duel, the cavalry of the Ming army relied on the numerical superiority and scattered quickly in formation, which indeed submerged the cavalry of the pseudo-Tang thief army, and it can even be said that it was surrounded.

However, the number of cavalry of the Ming army who had direct contact and battle with the cavalry of the Tang New Army was not very large!

Because of the formation, within the same range, the number of cavalry of the new army of the Tang Dynasty was more, and often one cavalry of the Ming army would be besieged by more than two cavalry of the pseudo-Tang thief army.

That is to say, on the whole, the cavalry of the Ming army was submerged and even the cavalry that surrounded the puppet Tang thief army, but in the actual battle, the cavalry phalanx of the new army of the Tang Dynasty was moving forward, smashing all the small number of Ming cavalry along the way.

And in this way, there is a very terrible consequence!

That is, the cavalry of the Ming army seems to have submerged and surrounded the cavalry of the puppet Tang thief army, a bit like the scene of the puppet Tang thief army wrapping dumplings, but the dumpling skin is not thick enough!

Therefore, the charge of the cavalry of the Datang New Army did not stop, but continued to advance, and where it passed, many cavalry corpses on both sides fell.

What surprised the cavalry of the Ming army on the front line was that there were more casualties among their own people, often two or even three of their own casualties, and only one of the cavalry of the puppet Tang thief army would be killed or wounded.

And this situation is definitely abnormal, even more abnormal than the fact that they attacked the infantry phalanx of the puppet Tang thief army just now and regretted retreating.

Before, they could be said to be the sharp artillery of the Pseudo-Tang Thief Army, so they were forced to retreat because of the sharpness of the artillery of the Pseudo-Tang Thief Bureau.

But now, the two sides are a pure cavalry duel, and even if the cavalry of the Ming army is chaotic, there are still more than 600 cavalry in the battle, and the number of troops participating in the battle is twice that of the cavalry of the new army of the Tang Dynasty.

However, even so, it was to let the cavalry of the puppet Tang thief army break through all the way, and after a few minutes, it turned out to be killed by the cavalry of the puppet Tang thief army!

At this time, there were at least seventy or eighty Ming cavalry who fell, and the Ming cavalry who basically blocked the wall charge of the cavalry of the Tang New Army were all killed and wounded.

Although there were also casualties among the cavalry of the puppet Tang thief army, and there were quite a few, there were thirty or forty people, but such an exchange ratio was unacceptable to the cavalry of the Ming army.

Their strength advantage was twice as high as that of this hedge, but they only obtained a one-to-two exchange ratio, which was simply incomprehensible to them.

How could these puppet Tang thief army cavalry be so strong?

It shouldn't be, when hedging just now, many of the cavalry of the pseudo-Tang thief army were obviously not skilled enough, and their riding skills were also so-so, but why did they lose so badly?

They didn't understand, and they were even stunned by it!
