Chapter 332, Raid (3)

Zhang Biao looked at the ten cavalrymen on the opposite side lined up in two rows in front and back, with a dense formation of five people in each row, like a wall. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"How can you move when the platoon is so dense? Did they treat the cavalry as infantry? Zhang Biao couldn't help but think.

Charging at the enemy in a dense formation like a wall was originally the way the cuirassiers played. The Light Cavalry of the Model Army is more used for reconnaissance and pursuit, but they can also complete such a wall-mounted charge when they need to face the enemy Scout Cavalry alone. This tactic increases the density of the front of the cavalry a lot, lowering oneself but also reducing the opponent's evasion ability. The tight formation also allows them to fight with two or even three people when fighting ordinary scout cavalry.

The cavalry on the opposite side began to slowly accelerate and rushed towards Zhang Biao.

"For a moment, at my command, we will go around from both sides and cut them from the side." Zhang Biao also pulled out his knife and said, "Now let's rush forward!" ”

Zhang Biao didn't know what the opponent's dense formation meant, but he knew that if he collided directly head-on, he wouldn't be able to get anything good if he hit it hard, so he preferred to go around to the opponent's side to fight.

In hedging, it is not easy to turn abruptly, get out of the way of the opponent, and entangle the past from the flank, which is very dependent on the commander's ability to grasp the timing, whether it is the judgment of the distance between the two sides or the estimation of the speed of the two sides. As long as there is a mistake in judgment, the action of going around the two sides a little earlier or later will end up self-defeating. However, Zhang Biao and his brothers are already old in battle, so Zhang Biao feels that his own people can complete such actions.

Ten rogue cavalry also began to control their horses and rushed towards the enemy on the opposite side. Zhang Biao carefully controlled the speed of the horse, and the horse gradually changed from a brisk walk to a trot. Zhang Biao also saw at the same time that the cavalry on the opposite side had begun to accelerate, and their speed had increased very high.

"Running so fast at this distance, even if their horses haven't gone far ahead, I'm afraid that when they meet, they won't be able to catch up, right?" Zhang Biao couldn't help but think.

The distance between the two sides was closer, and Zhang Biao had already let the horses run with all their might.

"One, two, three. Turn! Zhang Biao shouted, turning his horse's head at the same time, intending to bypass his opponent's flank. According to his calculations, when the opponent rushes over, they can go around the opponent's side.

However, the next moment, Zhang Biao's eyes were wide open, and his eyes were full of fear.

The cavalry on the opposite side accelerated again, and at ridiculously fast speeds. Zhang Biao dared to say that this was the most rapid charge he had ever seen in his life. Seeing such a speed, he immediately understood that he had done a big stupid thing. He asked the cavalry to turn to the left and right, if the opponent's speed was not so fast, it would be a good way to go around the opponent's flank, but now, the opponent's sudden acceleration made the situation suddenly become their initiative to expose the side to the opponent.

The enemy's cavalry was like a ball of fire, and suddenly it burned over. Zhang Biao leaned sideways at them, waving the war knife in his hand, ready to defend. At this critical juncture, he somehow suddenly sounded the story of Guan Erye's beheading of Yan Liang and Zhu Wenchou's story in the commentary he had heard before.

Wen Chou pretended to be defeated, but planned to wait for Guan Gong to approach, and kill Guan Gong with a drag knife. Rank, this drag-knife trick was originally Guan Gong's famous stunt, why can't Guan Gong see it? Guan Gong didn't say anything, just drove the red rabbit horse, slowly chased a few steps, and then slammed the horse's belly, and the red rabbit horse suddenly chased straight up like an arrow from the string. In the blink of an eye, he rushed behind Wen Chou, who didn't expect Guan Gong's horse to be so fast that he couldn't even raise his knife. said that it was too late and that was fast, I saw Guan Gong raise the Qinglong Yanyue Knife high, his phoenix eyes widened, and he shouted, and he ...... with one knife."

At this time, the official cavalry on the opposite side had already rushed to him, leaning on the nearest officer cavalry to shout, and cut off his head with a knife. Zhang Biao knew that this knife that relied on the impact of the horse was not so easy to block, and if he raised the knife with one hand to block, he would probably not be able to block it at all, and he would be forced to cut it down and hacked to death. Therefore, when he raised the knife in his right hand high to block, he also put his left hand on the back of the waist knife, and used the strength of both hands to block this fatal knife.

"Wow", a huge force shook Zhang Biao's hands numb, but he finally blocked the knife, and the cavalry also staggered with him. Only at the same time, a saber suddenly came out from the other side and slashed at his chest.

This knife was cut by Zhao Feihu, and he finally remembered to capture the prisoners and keep them alive, so this knife was cut with the back of the knife. And it didn't take much effort, just followed the horsepower.

However, Zhao Feihu knew that even so, the weight of this knife was not light, at least it could break several ribs of the old thief. If the old thief was unlucky, it would not be unusual for him to die on the spot. Of course, it depends on his creation.

By this time all the light cavalry had already rushed through, and by sudden, beyond the rapid acceleration of their opponents' expectations, they had knocked out four rogue scouts in this round of charge, and they had lost none of themselves. Only one cavalryman accidentally knocked off his saber. However, sabers were originally consumables, and all cavalry warriors carried at least two sabers when they went to battle. So he's just a different knife.

The hussars continued to run forward for a while, before turning their heads and beginning to regroup in preparation for the next round of charge. But at this time, they saw that the rogue scouts were not ready to fight again, and they all frantically threw away all the heavy things on their bodies—cloaks, quivers, bows, waist knives, scabbards—and fled with frenzied whipping on their horses.

If these guys continue to fight, then there may be a chance to inflict casualties on the light cavalry, but after they saw the results of the first round of hedging, they were all frightened, they all knew that in the ten-on-ten hedge, their side lost four people, but the opponent's side lost nothing, which means that they will have to fight against more opponents in the next round of hedging, the battle will be more difficult and dangerous, maybe one more hedge, and no one will be able to continue to ride on the horse. So, from this point of view, it is very normal for them to make such a move.

This move also made Zhao Feihu breathe a sigh of relief, after all, a frontal hedge, no matter how big the advantage, there is always the possibility of a lot of casualties, but it is much safer to pursue the enemy who is facing away from him and even loses his weapon. As for whether the enemy would escape, Zhao Feihu didn't think much about it at all. His horses should be far superior to those rogue horses in terms of speed and endurance, after all, they are very different in terms of breed and breeding status.

This was also evidenced by the course of the subsequent battles. The rogue scouts threw away everything they could to lighten the weight of their horses, but the light cavalry quickly caught up with them, slashed them one by one from behind, and brought their horses back. It's even easier than normal training.

Zhao Feihu also caught up with a rogue, he didn't know if the rogue who was knocked to the ground by him just now was dead, for insurance, this time he also attacked the rogue with the back of his knife, he chased and cut it from behind. From this direction, the force on the knife is naturally less, so although the person is chopped to the ground, he can still get up. Zhao Feihu didn't pay attention to him, but went up directly and grabbed his horse, and then he turned back with the horse, and saw that the rogue was struggling to get up from the ground.

"Follow me, don't play tricks!" Zhao Feihu looked at the rogue condescendingly and said coldly.

When Zhao Feihu escorted the rogue back to the place where he had just fought, the other warriors also returned, bringing back six heads and another captive.

Zhao Feihu jumped off his horse and walked to the place where he had knocked down the first enemy just now, he had already noticed that in the battle just now, this rogue seemed to be the one in charge of giving orders. He walked up to the rogue who had fallen to the ground, and saw the rogue fall face down on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. He turned the rogue over with his sheathed saber to see if he was dead. This flip made Zhang Biao, who had already been unconscious, wake up in pain all of a sudden, and couldn't help moaning loudly.

"You can still hum, it seems that you can't die." A light cavalryman was cutting off the head of a rogue who had died in the hedge just now, and when he heard this groan, he lifted his head and stood up straight, saying to Zhao Feihu.

"Well, it looks like I can't die for the time being." Zhao Feihu said, "I just noticed that this person seems to be their leader. It's worth taking back and asking. ”

The soldiers looked at a small tree next to the official road, tied Zhang Biao to the trunk of the tree, and then set up two captured horses, while the two soldiers rode their own horses and led the two horses back, as for the other two prisoners, they were also tied to the horses and took them back together. The enemy's scouts have been spotted and the prisoners have been captured, so of course they should hurry back and report the news.

Along the way, the horses jolted so badly that Zhang Biao fainted several times.

After returning to the barracks and reporting the situation, Zhao Feihu learned that they were not the only ones who discovered the enemy's scout cavalry today, and had a battle with the enemy's scout cavalry, several teams encountered the rogue scout cavalry and fought with it. In general, the light cavalry of the Model Army had a clear advantage in the battle, but there were also casualties among some squads. In contrast, Zhao Feihu's team not only suffered no casualties, but also completely annihilated the enemy and captured three prisoners, which made the above very satisfied.
