Chapter 49 (2) The Battle of the Two Great Powers 5
The distance of two or three hundred paces, on the battlefield for the two on-board cavalry, that is, the distance to be reached in the blink of an eye, at the foot of the speeding horse, it is just a blink of an eye, the two armies quickly pulled together, like two streams of iron collided together, the shouts of the two armies suddenly resounded throughout the battlefield, and the intersection of the two armies suddenly sounded a ping-pong sound, followed by a scream and the sound of horse neighing.
The Guanning army is all Liaodong people, and has been dealing with Jiannu for a long time, and has also developed their fierce character, for such a cavalry hedge, although they are not as fierce as Jiannu, but in the Central Plains, it is basically a rare opponent, and they are all dressed in exquisite iron armor, although it is not a heavy cavalry, but the defense is far more than the general light cavalry.
When Gao Yingxiang was alive, his command once formed a heavy cavalry of two or three thousand people, relying on these elite heavy cavalry, Gao Yingxiang went back and forth between Shanxi, Shaanxi and Henan, and when facing the official army, it was often easy to gain an advantage, but also in front of these Cao Wenzhao or Zu Kuan's Guanning iron cavalry, they still lost more than they won, and they were often beaten to the point of no resistance, so that now all the heavy cavalry under his command withered and perished in Shaanxi.
Therefore, the soldiers of the Guan Ning army have full confidence that they can defeat the light cavalry of the thief army in front of them, and the two armies have not yet approached, and the cavalry in front of them began to aim at the cavalry of the oncoming thief army and ignited the three-eyed gun in their hands, and suddenly there was a burst of popping bean-like guns between the two armies, and the dense projectiles immediately scattered into the cavalry led by Situ Liang.
It was just such a photo, and the forward of Situ Liang's cavalry team suddenly turned over on his back, and more than a dozen horses fell, some of the cavalry were shot, and some of the horses were shot, and they suffered a loss.
Although Xiao Tianjian also attaches great importance to the construction of cavalry, but after all, there are very few sources of war horses in the Xingtian Army, with the past two years, he has also begun to gradually establish his own horse farm in Shanxi, raising and cultivating war horses, but the main source of war horses is still captured by war, and more war horses consume a lot of food, so he has not formed a large-scale cavalry group so far, as for the equipment of the cavalry, he has matched them with armor as much as possible. But these armors are still far inferior to the equipment of the Guanning Army that relies on the silver pile, in addition, in terms of weapons, the cavalry of the Xingtian Army is mostly used for raiding and pursuing, and they are not required to charge the enemy on a large scale, so their weapons are mainly cold weapons, and the choice is also based on the personal preferences of the cavalry. Therefore, the soldiers did not have much equipment on hand.
As soon as the two armies fought, they could see the gap between them, in the face of the three-eyed guns of the Guanning army, the cavalry who rushed in front of them still suffered a small loss, when even if there were more than a dozen casualties, between such two armies, whether you were injured or not, it only meant a dead word, not waiting for them to get up, and then the rushing war horses trampled them under their feet, when even if they were trampled into a ball of flesh by the swarming horses.
However, although he was bombarded by the three-eyed guns of this row of official cavalry, it did not stop the charge of the cavalry under Situ Liang, and at the same time, the few soldiers in front of the team who had been equipped with flintlock handcuffs also pulled the trigger towards the official cavalry on the opposite side, and immediately a burst of ping-pong sound also sounded among the cavalry of the Xingtian Army, and a cloud of smoke suddenly rose between the two armies.
In the face of these angry flintlock handcuffs of the Xingtian Army, the official army was not much better, and suddenly a few horsemen were shot and overturned, which allowed the Xingtian Army to recover some scenes.
Said that it was too late, then quickly, the two armies just after shooting, they collided together, there was no handcuff of the Xingtian army is not no way, many of them follow Xiao Tianjian's example, carry two or three short axes, close to the hands of the opposite officer and soldier threw over, as long as the heavy short axe hit, whether it is a person or a horse, can not stand such a smash, suddenly there are officers and soldiers hit, smashed on the back of the horse fell off the horse.
But this kind of killing is commonplace for the Guan Ning army, no one is surprised or afraid of this at all, one by one after the launch of the officers and soldiers, immediately waved the long-handled three-eyed gun in their hands, used as a hammer, and smashed hard at the cavalry of the Xingtian Army on the opposite side, only to hear the muffled sound of falling flesh, the cavalry of both armies let out a wild roar, and even suppressed the screams of the wounded and dying, just like this, they collided together, and a piece of blood was raised.
Situ Liang held a horse lance, directly stabbed an officer and soldier off the horse, and then swept over with a backhand, and another officer and soldier were swept off the horse, as He Renlong's family general Situ Liang, horse war was originally his specialty, once in battle, it immediately played a sharp role, although the cavalry of the Xingtian Army was not as good as the armor of the official army, but this one looked down, the two armies also damaged each other, and were not scattered by the official cavalry, and the two armies paid the price to each other.
More than 30 cavalry of the Xingtian Army were killed and dismounted in this hedge, but for the officers and soldiers, this was not easy, and they also paid the price of more than a dozen people, although the cavalry of the Xingtian Army suffered a relatively large loss, but they still did an excellent job of containing the cavalry of the official army from the flank to harass the left flank of the second battalion.
This situation surprised Zu Kui, who led the team, he didn't expect that the light cavalry of this thief army was so strong, and in the face of their Guanning iron cavalry, which was armed to the teeth, he actually had the courage to hedge against them head-on, so he immediately shouted wildly and commanded his soldiers to disperse a little, bite this thief cavalry and strive to sweep it away in a battle, solve the only mobile force of this thief army, and lay the foundation for the next step to completely defeat the thief army.
As the ancestor of the family, Zu Kui, who was born in the ancestral family, also has a considerable grasp of the battlefield, and when he saw that the task of attacking the thief army on the side could not be completed, he immediately changed his direction, intending to eat the cavalry of the Xingtian Army first.
But Situ Liang is not a stubble, his grasp of the battle situation is not inferior to that Zu Kui, after a face-to-face, he also knows very well that his cavalry is not the opponent of these Guanning troops, so he does not fight with this pair of official cavalry at all, and immediately turns his horse and leads the team to gallop towards the flank, and the blow does not give this group of official cavalry a chance to bite them, and immediately begins to leave the battlefield.
And Zu Kui did not give up, and immediately turned his horse's head and led the team to chase after Situ Liang's cavalry team, and the two cavalry began to entangle even on the north side in front of the two armies.
At this time, the other army of more than 200 officers and cavalry also rushed to the front of the third battalion of the Xingtian Army dozens of paces, Li Xuanzhu stared at the officer cavalry rushing towards them in the formation, with a cruel smile on his face, although he admitted that this Guanning iron cavalry did have a kind of improper power when it rushed into battle, when hundreds of horses galloped at the same time, the iron hooves hit the ground, and the shocking sound produced was a little nervous, but he did not feel scared because of this, He was just silently calculating the distance between this cavalry and them, until he watched this Guanning iron cavalry rush to dozens of steps away from them, he roared angrily: "Fire Gunner!" ……”
The musketeers at the two corners of the phalanx had already been prepared, and one by one the musketeers carefully blew the fireropes that had been lit on the birds' guns, staring at these officers and cavalry who were speeding up on the opposite side, and had already selected their respective targets in their hearts, just waiting for the officers to give an order, and at this moment, when they heard the roar of Li Zhuzhu in the formation behind, the officers of each row of firecrackers immediately shouted: "The first row is aiming...... Put ......"
Without saying a word, the firecrackers in the front row strode forward and stretched out the wooden grating in front of them, and just took aim, they pulled off the dragon's head stuck in the firerope......
