Chapter 92: Infantry vs. Cavalry (Ask for Collection)
Cavalry against infantry, there are indeed many natural advantages, cavalry moves fast, strong impact, will bring great psychological pressure to the infantry, it is easy to rush the formation of the marching soldiers, there are many famous generals in history who are good at using cavalry, such as Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, with 30,000 iron cavalry against the 200,000 elites of the Qin Empire general Zhang Han, nine battles and nine victories, and finally killed 200,000 elites of Great Qin, as well as Cao Wenzhao, with 3,000 Guanning iron cavalry, strangled the hundreds of thousands of troops used by King Chuang, and finally killed Wang Ziyong, of course, The most powerful thing is Huo Qu's disease, his tactics are simply invincible, blitzkrieg, cone formation, right hook, beat the Huns to flee to the west, and as a result, the Europeans directly entered the Middle Ages.
The reason why he was so sure that the thieves on the mountain would choose to rush into battle was because he was very aware of the dominant position of the cavalry, he looked at Qin Yiming, and found that Qin Yiming's face was calm and calm, and he was very confident, so he asked Yang Baihu beside him, and said: "Yang Baihu, Qin Qianhu doesn't look very old, and it shouldn't be long before he can lead the army!" ”
"It's been over a year!" Yang Baihu replied.
"What? It's only been a little over a year? No wonder it's arranged like this, isn't this a fatal death? Fierce as a tiger became even more worried.
"Mengbaihu, please rest assured, although our Qianhu adults are not very old, they still have a lot of experience in the battle formation, and there must be a reason why he will arrange it like this!" Yang Baihu now fully trusts Qin Yiming's talent.
On the top of the mountain, Zhang Wenzhong, the leader of the thieves, looked at the officers and soldiers under the mountain, they did not continue to pursue, but put up a position at the foot of the mountain, as if they were really waiting for his cavalry to fall into battle.
"Where did these people come from?" Zhang Wenzhong's question-and-answer question.
Liu Da also had doubts in his heart at this time, but he concluded that these people were definitely not regular soldiers, they should be some soldiers of the guards, and in the territory of De'an Mansion, the only ones who could make up a team of thousands of people could only be the guards of the De'an Thousand Households.
"General, these people should be the guards of the De'an Thousand Households!"
Zhang Wenzhong suddenly laughed wildly at this time: "Hahaha, the guards, I thought it was the general's heavenly soldiers, it turned out to be the guards and soldiers, and they were still in a formation at the foot of the mountain, didn't they look down on me Zhang, hehe, if they were in the mountains and forests, relying on the advantage of numbers, maybe they would still have a chance to win, but they went out of the mountains and forests, then they were simply looking for death." ”
"General, be careful!" Liu Da said worriedly.
"Hmph, I'm afraid of a fart, what is there to be afraid of the guards, when I see that their commander is a straw bag, he actually ran to the three feet with so many soldiers, let him see the power of my cavalry!" Zhang Wenzhong laughed wildly.
"What the general said is that the villain is short-sighted, and he is not as thorough as the general." Liu Qianhu patted his ass and accompanied him with a smiling face.
The flattering face of this dignified Lord Qianhu made him very comfortable, they used to see these adults, they all nodded their heads, and felt that they were high, but now, he had a feeling of being high and arrogant, which made him very comfortable and proud.
"Brothers, kill me!" Zhang Wenzhong didn't say much, and began to rush down with all the cavalry. He was confident, because according to his vast combat experience, these guards were vulnerable, and they were in a high position, which had a geographical advantage, and the cavalry rushed down from a high place, faster and sharper, and that momentum alone could scare the infantry into fleeing in all directions, and the army would not rush to collapse.
Qin Yiming could predict that the thief cavalry would be in a charge, that is, he saw through these advantages of the cavalry, but this thief did not know the reason why he dared to set up a formation at the foot of the mountain. First of all, he has a thousand firearms in his hands, and it is also a relatively fast shooting skill, although the musketeers did not achieve good results when they were ambushed in the woods, but now in the open area, the firearms battalion can fully exert great firepower, and secondly, they are not ordinary guards soldiers under their own hands can be compared, these are elite soldiers who have undergone actual combat and strict training, and their psychological quality is excellent, and third, although the cavalry can obtain greater potential energy in a high place, When rushing down, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, and the power is huge, but as long as their shield battalion blocks this impact, then it is impossible for them to run again.
"Ready!" According to Qin Yiming's arrangement, the first row of the guards stood with musketeers, with Da Niu's shield battalion in the middle behind and spearmen on both sides.
Zhang Wenzhong began to lead the team to rush down, the speed was not fast at first, but when they reached the mountainside, they began to accelerate.
"Musket battalion, shoot!" The musketeers, who numbered more than 1,000 men, began to fire volleys when the enemy was more than 200 paces.
"Rush me, rush to them, and the victory will be ours." Zhang Wenzhong shouted.
At first, the musketeers' volleys were not very effective, but a few people fell off their horses, but to the surprise of the thieves, the musket battalion actually fired a second shot quickly, and this time the damage was different, at one hundred and fifty paces, the thieves' cavalry was beaten down by more than a dozen people.
When a hundred paces, the third shot was issued, the archers also began to release arrows, dozens of people fell off their horses, at this time Zhang Wenzhong was a little frightened in his heart, this casualty was too terrifying, but it was only a hundred steps, he continued to charge, but when fifty steps, the fourth shot of the musket battalion was issued, and dozens of people were killed at once, and the entire cavalry team of thieves began to panic.
"Quick, it's only fifty steps, let's rush down and kill them all!" Zhang Wenzhong shouted, cheering up his people.
"Kill!" The people in the group shouted.
At this time, they saw that the officers and soldiers of the officers and soldiers had retreated one after another, but what appeared in front of them were strange soldiers with huge iron shields, spears, and iron hats, and there were quite a few hundred, and it was impossible for them to restrain their horses at this time, so they could only continue to charge and kill.
Each of these shield-bearers hid their bodies behind their shields, and long spear heads emerged. They stand very densely, and the shield behind the back against the back of the person in front, this kind of cold weapon era of combat, as a later generations basically no longer see, but later generations can also find a situation similar to this way, that is, the way the riot force deals with the street riot crowd, in the face of the street angry crowd throwing stones or other objects, as well as the impact of the street crowd, the riot force holds the shield to form a strict formation to prevent the street crowd from "trapping".
In ancient times, infantry combat was similar to the situation of this street riot, those sparse crowds, under the dense shield of the riot troops, could only retreat step by step, this is why the principle of phalanx must be emphasized when infantry combat.
Chen Daquan, fierce as a tiger and others all stared at the shield battalion with wide eyes, looking at the shield battalion, they were extremely nervous, if the shield battalion was scattered and failed to block the impact of the cavalry, then they would lose, once the cavalry broke up the phalanx of the infantry, it would be difficult for the infantry to assemble again.
"Hold on!" Fierce as a tiger shouted excitedly.
"Da Niu, it's up to you!" Qin Yiming's broad back and silly smiling face appeared in front of him......
