Chapter 682: Yan Yun (5)
Walk like a wall, go like a wall!
After years of hard training, the iron cavalry of the Qi army has already possessed the characteristics of modern cavalry in later generations. The high intensity of discipline allowed them to keep the cavalry wall neat and tidy in the gallop of high-speed war horses.
Lu Qian's efforts over the years have not been in vain.
Although the Eastern War Horse is not as good as the war horse of the Western Modern Cavalry in the official history, after deducting this external factor, discipline and training are all software.
The Jurchen cavalry on the opposite side sent out bows and arrows, and a puff of arrows rained down on Yue Fei's head. However, the vast majority of the arrows fell into the air. There are only five cavalry walls, which can also be said to be the cavalry of the Qi army in the cavalry line, and the contact surface is really too narrow. And without a vast 'contact' range, how can the cavalry of the Jin army be useful?
Even at the peak of the Mongol cavalry, the so-called mounted archery was a large-area coverage shot without talking about precise targets. The cavalry of the young people in the north is never aimed at the individual, but at the vast whole.
If you look at the opponent's location and shoot the arrow, you will no longer be able to hit the enemy. There are so many arrows they shoot horizontally, and so many enemies at the target, they always hit.
Therefore, the marksman is also highly respected in the wilderness outside the Cyprus.
The gentle sound of horses' hooves did not make people feel weak at all, and the five columns of cavalry were closely arranged and neatly aligned, like rows of small trees specially planted in a shelterbelt.
Yue Fei did not fight back. There is a specialization in the art industry! Due to the innate gap between the Central Plains cavalry and the northern cavalry, Emperor Lu never thought of cultivating an 'all-weather' cavalry that could combat in close combat and fire volleys.
The distance of hundreds of paces passed quickly, and the distance between the two sides had been reduced to fifty paces. The iron cavalry of the Jin Army is scattered in clusters, like random scattered chess pieces, and like clouds hanging in the sky, piece by piece.
"Beep beep ......" The battalion behind Yue Fei blew the whistle, everyone reflexively clamped the horse's belly, and the iron thorns under the stirrups pierced the horse's belly, and under the severe pain, one by one the war horses spread their hooves and completely entered the sprint.
Yue Pengju, who was standing in front of the five columns of iron horses, had a bloody light in his eyes.
The final moment has arrived!
The speed of the cavalry of the two armies is getting faster and faster, but the speed of the cavalry of the opposite Jin army is a little slower, because they still have to take care of the bows and arrows in their hands before the hand-to-hand combat comes. Insert the bow back into the bow pot, and then hold the weapon in your hand, and then you can gallop with all your strength.
The iron cavalry of the five columns of Qi Army can still be roughly kept neat, but the distance between the soldiers in the same row has widened a little. But the entire array did not cause a big commotion because of the acceleration, and years of training naturally paid off.
The dense sound of hooves converged into a rumbling sound like rolling thunder, which was like fairy music in Yue Fei's ears. There is no doubt about the frontal impact of the wall-type cavalry, and this tactic was taken out by Emperor Lu to deal with the northern cavalry.
It has been verified by many actual battles before, but those objects are too weak and lacking in quality, and they are still the final opponents at the moment with the most reference significance.
The arrows fell on the body, and the horses of the Qi army only lowered their heads, and the iron scarbs and armor were enough to guard against the arrows, and even the war horses were also put on horse armor. Relatively strong protection is their magic weapon to deal with the opposite side of the cavalry.
Due to the limitations, they can't do archery on horseback, and they don't need to, as long as they can maximize their impact.
Under the arrows of the golden soldiers, there were naturally cries of wounded soldiers in the queue, and some people turned over and fell off their horses, and some war horses fell down with a wail, but compared to the total number of Qi troops, this number is still very small.
Moments before the "beep ......" impact, the whistle sounded again, this time more urgently.
The speed of the Qi army's horses has increased to its peak, the rumbling hooves of the horses are like thunder in summer, and the red tassels on the bright helmets are beating, like countless flickering flames.
Under the rapid sprint, the Qi cavalry wall had already bent slightly, but this bend was not enough to affect the rigor of the formation.
Yue Fei's face flushed. He still took the lead in the group of Jin soldiers and cavalry, his eyes were wide open, and he clenched the big gun in his hand, and his eyes looked directly at a golden general opposite, who was holding a mace, this kind of heavy weapon was an extremely common configuration among the Jurchens, and his face was full of fierceness.
"The Ugna Nanban leads to death!" Jin shouted.
Yue Fei turned a deaf ear, the big gun in his hand was raised, the head of the gun suddenly slid out of his hand, the red cherry trembled into a disc, and the body of the gun bent out of an arc slightly, but it was not for other purposes, but the head of the gun flicked with it, hitting the side and hitting the mace that smashed the head.
Immediately, he slammed the mace away, and the tip of the spear sank into the neck of the golden general.
"Bang!"
There was a loud bang, and the golden general didn't understand, obviously the other party was holding a spear, how could he dare to collide with the mace in his hand, and really bounced the guy in his hand. But then he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
His head had flown into the air with the blade of the spear. The body threw off its mace and fell from its horse.
Yue Fei naturally knew what he was doing. He rushed into the Jin army first, but he was not brave. He just wanted to disrupt the Jin soldiers' position first, so that the five columns of cavalry behind him could be more relaxed.
Killed a Jin general, and two Jin cavalry followed. Obviously he is just an ordinary soldier, but he holds a thick-backed sword and a large iron spine in his hand.
Yue Fei didn't need to retract the barrel of his gun, and it seemed that his shaking hand only flicked slightly, and the two bright lights had already entered the hearts of the two.
But before the two of them could fall, another silver-ringed gold general had already arrived, still with a mace in his hand.
Yue Fei raised his gun and stabbed, the latter was not slow to react, and the mace knocked out, just blocking it. The two horses staggered, Yue Fei turned his spear and swept the waist of the golden general. The latter didn't have time to think about it, and he didn't have time to think about it anymore, so he turned the mace in front of his chest.
"Dang!"
There was a bang, and the big gun was not blocked as he thought, but it was himself, his waist was like a heavy hammer, his hands were all cracked, his eyes were already blackened, and the whole person was wearing heavy armor, but the weight of more than 200 catties turned into a large meat bullet and flew out. A cavalry man who crashed into the flank covered the ground with men and horses.
I'm unconscious!
Several of the cavalrymen of the Jin Army who were one step later were all in a hurry, and they all reined in their horses and turned around, wanting to slip away. The Jurchens believed in worshipping the strong. Warriors in the army have always been revered!
Brave as the Yue Flyer, teach them to be extra afraid. But at this time, how could Yue Pengju still allow them to leave calmly?!
With a loud shout at the moment, the single rider crashed into the middle of the opponent's three riders, and the big gun swept away, and it was solved in an instant.
It is also at this time that "Kill!! The cavalry of both armies burst into a roar of exhaustion. But it was the collision that came.
"Boom!"
Two herds of horses, two torrents collided head-on. Countless broken gun barrels, accompanied by the continuous screams of people and horses, resounded in people's ears.
The sound of the blades of the spear clashing and rubbing against the hard iron of the armor made the roots of the teeth sour, and the bones of the horses that could not avoid it were shattered when they collided with each other, and they fell to the ground and wailed. And the wails of our soldiers.
But there was no Yue Fei among them. The sparse array of Jurchens was giving him the opportunity to 'move forward', staggering through the roaring hooves. Another shot pierced a golden general in the abdomen!
The men and horses walked through the Jin army group, and between the big guns walking, the Jin soldiers and generals fell off their horses one after another.
The dense formation of the cavalry of the Qi army had the advantage, and after this charge, the first column of a hundred lancers had at least thirty or forty enemies, and the sabers behind the spears were also slashed and wounded. But as the first column, they also paid a heavy price. After the fight, Yue Fei took a rough look, afraid that less than half of them were left!
With a casualty rate of nearly two-thirds, it is no wonder that Lu Qian has made a rule that if the cavalry charges, all the soldiers who can survive the battle will be awarded one medal per person and given a higher rank. It's because they deserve such a reward!
It's just that Jin Jun is even more unhappy, after the first column, there is a second column, followed by the third, fourth, and fifth columns. There was no time to catch your breath. This tactic has made them suffer enough.
The tactics of the past have suddenly become outdated, but they are more dense and concentrated tactics, and the alignment of the army is even more effective.
After this battle, the casualties of the Jin army can be described as broken, and the losses are worse than those of the Qi army, and the small 200 cavalry were left on the spot.
Just to say that in the first round, the casualties between the two are almost 1:1.5. Even if the Jin army suffered a loss in tactical tactics, it also made Emperor Lu, who was watching the battle behind, laugh very unhappily.
This proves one thing. The Central Plains horse army trained in this way can already resist the Jurchen iron cavalry.
Pulling out the speed of the head like a beast with a wounded head and looking at the other side, they had suffered enough this round.
After dealing with the first column of lancers, they suffered greatly when they encountered the second column, and by the third column they were almost powerless, and they could not even avoid the horses to the right and left—it was too late.
The horn sounded "Woo woo woo ......", and he immediately made a decision, and took the remaining Jin soldiers to bypass the large army of Qi in the south, and slipped away obliquely.
Wanyan Mou Han also has the same example, but it is Hei Feng.
This person is not a Jurchen, but a Khitan. Living in the Shuofang area, he was an official in Tokyo Road in his early years, and he joined the Jurchen in the city, and was named hereditary Meng'an. His real name was Otun Zaru, and after he descended to the Jurchens, he was awarded the post of Meng'an, and was called "Black Blade Sumire".
This man followed the Jurchen cavalry, winning consecutive battles, and it was all the way open. But now that he has suffered a loss in front of everyone's eyes, he can't help but have a plan in his heart. In this way, Wang Gui was given a chance.
Seeing the momentum, he turned around and shouted: "The husband has made meritorious contributions to the country, and it will be today!" "Lead the army on horseback and rush to kill.
The Jurchen soldiers suffered a big loss first, and when they saw that the other two military horses had turned back, their morale and fighting spirit were naturally low. Now Wang Gui led troops to kill him again, and he was intercepted by the head, and there was chaos at the moment. Wang Guibu gathered again, like a giant hammer, smashing into the already scattered Jurchen army in the array, the latter was not long rushed to scatter, some turned around and fled to the camp, and some walked around.
Hei Feng bumped into Wang Gui with a split face, and the two swords were raised at the same time, fighting more than ten times, regardless of victory or defeat. Here, Yao Zheng has already brought troops to come, patting the horse to help, and Hei Feng didn't dare to fight when he saw it, so he turned his horse away. But Wang Gui is sticky tightly, how can Hei Feng get away? I was flustered and timid, and my hands gradually became confused. But if you can't go, you can only fight to the death. Unexpectedly, a team of soldiers behind him ran for their lives, bumped into the war horse under his seat, stumbled, and the knife was chaotic, and was beaten by Yao Zheng and caught up with a shot through the chest. Black Blade screamed, blood spurted from his mouth and nose, and he fell off his horse and died. The Jin soldiers lost their main general, and their morale was even more depressed, like a sheep being slaughtered by a pack of wolves, and they fled with their heads in their hands.
The separation is not on the other side, and he urgently asks Ah Gu to come in for help. The latter agreed, and told the tart to lead a thousand horsemen to answer. I'm afraid that the real girl inside will be more than half.
Yue Fei also led the troops to sweep the battle for Wang Gui, so he saw a cavalry on the opposite side coming like a dark cloud, with smoke and dust rushing to the sky on both sides, and the horses roared Xiao Xiao. At that moment, he will line up his military horses in the shape of dense sharp cones, and he will take the lead and be at the edge of the blade. Then call someone to inform King Yao that the whole army is behind. In a moment, the two armies entered, Yue Fei shouted with his arms, and the gun was like a swimming dragon, but he saw the white light surrounding, people and horses everywhere, like a light boat splitting the waves, and the corpse of the Jin army that was killed rolled over.
Behind them, Yao Zheng and Wang Gui drove the soldiers and horses to shout in unison and surround and kill. The soldiers and horses of the tart lazy generals were scattered in a queue, how to stop Yue Feijun, and they were pierced away in one shot. The army column was torn apart as if it had been smashed with a heavy hammer. King Yao led troops to kill and rush again, but he was lazy and said that he was leading troops to meet the defeated soldiers, and it was difficult for him to come.
