Chapter 57: Foot Combat
Cavalry is an organized and fast force, they can quickly strike at their opponents, and can also quickly retreat and leave the battlefield when the battle situation is unfavorable; It is a group of soldiers who have been trained for a long time and can fight on horseback.
The mobility of the cavalry can ensure that the army can quickly pursue, encircle, sneak attack and gallop to help. The impact power of the cavalry can effectively deal with the relatively poorly equipped infantry phalanx, because the cavalry can quickly rush into the enemy formation with the speed of horses, which can effectively destroy the enemy's formation, and its momentum when galloping can collapse the morale of the enemy. Cavalry was a nightmare for the demoralized infantry.
These refer to the situation on the battlefield, marching and fighting. The cavalry charge was unstoppable.
But if it weren't for the battle of the commanding arms, but for the generals to fight against the generals, the situation would be different. In this case, there is no assistance from the generals.
Over the ages, on the so-called rivers and lakes, which ranger brother has made a name for himself immediately? On the rivers and lakes, if you ride a horse, you will have an advantage, can't those rangers get horses?
Of course, if the imperial court encircles and suppresses the people in the rivers and lakes and develops into a large-scale battle, it will be a nightmare for the people in the rivers and lakes to charge up with the cavalry corps under the command of the imperial court.
In terms of fighting generals, there is one kind of hand-to-hand combat between horsemen and generals, and the other is equally common is to open up distances, charge each other, and call each other a round, a bit like a knight with a knight gun in the Western Middle Ages.
In other words, this mode is to make effective use of the horse's mobility and impact.
And if you are stationed on horseback, the situation is completely different.
The body is limited to the horse, and even the position is not as flexible as the step, and the horse step duel, it can be said that the rider who cannot open the distance and launch the charge is actually at a disadvantage.
Among the fighting generals, the horse will be called "put the horse", and if the step will be called "put the foot", isn't it difficult to hear? Hence the name "leg slip". Of course, there are very few such cases, after all, even the commander of the infantry corps will not be a pure foot general, but will fight on horseback.
Back then, no, it was a few years later, but it definitely had to be mentioned.
The commentary records that the premise of this battle is so, but after Guan Gong passed five levels and killed six generals, in Woniu Mountain, the mountain thieves took a fancy to the red rabbit BMW given to Guan Gong by Cao Cao, and the two sides launched a classic riding duel.
But it was said that the man jumped over quickly, went to Yun Changma to strike first, raised a hammer in his left hand, and hit the head of the red rabbit horse, shouting: "Wanderer move!" ”
Yun Chang quickly reversed the horse's head, raised the dragon knife drill and parried him on the hammer head, and shouted: "Wait! ”
This person got up again with a hammer head in his right hand and pressed it on the dragon knife drill, Yun Chang vigorously picked the knife drill upward, this person borrowed the power of your pick, squatted on the ground with both feet, only heard a "whoosh" sound, this person jumped up from the ground like a flying arrow in the air, and was several feet high from the ground. General Guan looked up and felt that his light body kung fu far surpassed that of Ma Fu Huaji, and he was really as light as a swallow. When he came back, like a goldfish in a water tank, his head downward, his feet upside down, lifted the two iron nails on the head of the hammer and pierced the top of Yun Chang's head, and shouted: "Go with a red face!" ”
General Guan tightened the tip of the dragon sword, parried him on the hammer, and shouted: "Wait!" ”
As long as you Guan General Knife Head touches his hammer head, and before you can fight back, he has jumped behind your horse, raised two hammer heads and hit the red rabbit horse's buttocks, and shouted: "Red face move!" ”
Yun Chang thought, you are really fast. Tightly turn around and parry the head of the dragon knife: "Slow down!" ”
Yun Chang parried just now, and this person turned around and had already reached the left side of General Guan, and two hammers hit Yun Chang's left shoulder: "Wanderer beckon!" ”
Guan Gong thinks of you really quickly. Immediately raised the knife and drilled to parry his two hammer heads. This person was under General Guan's belly, and rolled from left to right, and before the general could even look at it, he had already jumped up. Pick up the two nails on the head of the hammer and stab at Guan Yunchang's right leg: "Red-faced guy!" ”
General Guan also spun around, lowered his head and picked up the head of the dragon knife, and quickly clicked his two hammer heads. In this way, he was beaten up and down all around, and the speed became faster and faster, and after the fight, he saw a black shadow like a whirlwind, flying in all directions, and Yun Chang could only parry and could not fight back. General Guan thought, it's strange to say! I beheaded Yan Liang, Zhu Wen Chou, the dignified Guan Junhou, but I couldn't fight the strong gangsters in the thatched grass gang here, I really laughed!
In fact, the step will generally only hit four sides, that is, front and back, left and right. However, now he has to fight in six aspects, that is, one more up and down, the speed is so fast, and the scope of the fight is so wide, ordinary people have long been unable to parry. If you can not be hit by him, you can already be regarded as a first-class skill! It stands to reason that with the same ability, the horse and foot battles, most of them are the foot generals who are better than the horse generals, because the foot generals are flexible, the two are not implicated, and the victory can be done, and when you can't attack, you can jump out of the circle. The horse general is different, not only to protect himself. At the same time, he also had to protect the horses, especially when his short weapon entered the door, and the horseman's long weapon should feel too long, and it would be impossible to open it at once, and he wanted to break it in two pieces before he could parry. This is where the horse general and the foot general suffer in battle. On the surface, Yun Chang seemed to have lost to him. In fact, it is evenly divided, not up or down.
As for the final result, it is needless to say, Guan Gong at this time has long been famous all over the world, Zhou Cang is a righteous person, as soon as Guan Gong's name is revealed, he naturally successfully convinced Zhou Cang, Zhou Cang is also loyal to follow Guan Gong, until the final defeat of Maicheng, the two also returned to heaven together, and no matter where the descendants stand in the Guandi Temple, there will be no shortage of this loyal person.
To get back to the point, the reason why I say this is because of Bao Hong's crossing, the relationship between the world and the chaos, this world will not be just Dian Wei, Hu Che'er, Zhou Cang and a few other step generals are famous all over the world. Right now, it's the same first-class step that is about to shine.
Zhang Huang escorted Zhang Er and others to gallop in the Yellow Turban rout, but after all, the Yellow Turban soldiers were their own people, and they were at most slightly ramming the soldiers in front of them, if they dared to drive or slaughter, then they might have been pulled down and killed by the Yellow Turbans before they ran here!
Therefore, Zhang Huang and the others rushed over, but in fact, the speed was slightly faster than that of ordinary foot soldiers, and the speed of galloping on the battlefield was completely incomparable.
Wu Song casually cut down a few pawns who were still trying to deal with him when they poured into the city, but his eyes were always locked on the few horsemen who had rushed not far away.
In the surging flow of people into the city gate, the existence of such a stubborn stone standing still is really too attention-grabbing, and Zhang Er and the others naturally saw Wu Song.
"Wait until I cut down this incomprehensible person!" Zhang Huang greeted, no longer caring about the surging crowd, urging the horse to gallop towards Wu Song,
"Good time!" Wu Song chuckled, his eyes locked on Zhang Huang's dancing broadsword, and he met it without dodging or dodging.
Wu Song used his strength under his feet, and in a flash, he walked through the crowd like a swimming dragon and appeared in front of Zhang Huangma.
Zhang Huang saw Wu Song rushing forward, and without saying a word, he slashed Huashan with one move.
Wu Song walked like a fly, his body was like a swimming dragon, he raised his hand and raised his knife to meet Zhang Huang's slash, but he didn't want to fight hard, his wrist turned hard, his figure flashed, and then the power of Zhang Huang's own big knife rushed to the other side of Zhang Huang, picked up the long knife in his other hand, and just swept Zhang Huang off the horse with a knife from his waist.
I have to say that Guan Gong was barely undefeated in front of Zhou Cang for hundreds of rounds, but Zhang Huang was inferior to Yihe in front of Wu Song, on the one hand, Wu Song's own force and martial arts were superb, and on the other hand, the restraint of the troops was also the reason for this result.
Wu Song's body is like electricity, as fluctuating as a swimming dragon, and the good cavalry general behind Zhang Huang is even more unbearable than Zhang Huang, how is he Wu Song's opponent?
However, with the containment of these cannon fodder, Zhang Er and the others finally rushed to the city gate.
However, Zhang Er didn't know that there was a step behind him that was even better than Wu Song, and was about to show his might on him!
