Chapter 375 All or Nothing
The heavy cavalry began to flourish in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and was greatly developed in the Song and Jin dynasties, and the name of Tiefutu was passed down to future generations.
During the battle between Song and Jin, he fought with heavy armor many times, leaving a lot of valuable experience for future generations, and the heavy armored cavalry impacted, although it was indestructible, but he also had shortcomings, in addition to the impact must not give up halfway, that is, the knight wore heavy armor and was inconvenient to move.
At present, the heavy cavalry of the Qing army, although it is not the same as the iron floating tu, the iron chain is connected, and it can only rush in a straight line, but it is still very difficult to move, and it cannot be as mobile and flexible as the light cavalry.
At this time, the Qing army rode heavily, and after passing through the formation, they were killing the back of Li Guobu, they slashed into the middle army from the right flank, and then made a small bend, trying to kill from the left flank, and then regrouped the formation and continued to charge and kill.
But just as they turned around, a cavalry of the Ming army actually caught up and killed several people in an instant.
The heavy armored cavalry were stunned, their bodies were fixed on the war horses, and they couldn't turn around to kill the enemy, and the war horses carried hundreds of pounds of human armor, and they couldn't outrun the Ming cavalry, and what was even more infuriating was that this Ming army didn't think about fighting them head-on, obviously they could surpass them, but they always followed behind them, picking up the three-eyed gun and smashing their backs.
The heavily armored cavalry was wrapped in armor from head to toe, and the iron helmets and neck guards on their heads alone weighed more than a dozen pounds, so it was very difficult for them to turn their heads to look behind, let alone use weapons to fight the Ming army behind them.
The cavalry of the Ming army quickly surrounded the back and sides of the heavy cavalry, and the heavy cavalry could not stop, could not make a detour, and could only be helpless against the light cavalry of the Ming army that chased them.
The Ming army was not equipped with maces, axes and other blunt weapons, but the three-eyed gun could be used as a blunt weapon, Wang Shixiu's hand of the three-eyed gun was raised high, and smashed on the top of the head of a heavy cavalryman in front of him with all his strength, a crisp metal collision sound sounded, and he saw that the iron helmet on the top of the heavy horseman's head was dented a piece, and the heavy horse shook twice, leaned over the horse, and was obviously shocked to death.
A young Ming cavalryman, probably seventeen or eighteen years old, chased a Qing heavy cavalry with a three-eyed gun and smashed it, he knocked seven or eight times on the head of the heavy cavalry in the east and west, but the other party still stood tall.
He was in a hurry, but a Ming army flag slapped the war horse to penetrate between him and the heavy horse, picked up the three-eyed gun and smashed it in the back of the heavy horse, after a muffled sound, the heavy horse's whole body tilted towards the other side, but the people and horses were connected together and could not fall to the ground, his weight, dragged down the galloping war horse suddenly lost its balance, a horse lost its front hooves, and fell down.
Historically, there are generally two ways to break heavy armor.
The first is to pierce with a sharp weapon, and the other is to do the opposite, slamming with a blunt weapon, and its pursuit is not to break your armor, but to inflict internal injuries on the enemy in the armor!\u000b A jaw-dropping scene was staged in front of Bolo's eyes, and more than 2,000 heavy armored cavalry were chased and beaten by the Ming army's light cavalry, and they had no power to fight back.
Those who could become heavy cavalry were the elite of the Eight Banners, and they were beaten by blunt weapons, until they rushed into the left flank Li Guo's infantry formation, and Wang Shixiu had to lead the light cavalry to give up the pursuit.
There is no doubt that the heavy cavalry easily penetrated the left flank of the Ming army from the back of Li, and once again the heavy cavalry that came out of the formation returned to the formation in shock.
At this time, the Qing army's light cavalry was still constantly attacking the large array, and the left flank that was penetrated by the heavy armored cavalry was in chaos again, and the soldiers were killed and wounded.
Emperor Longwu came to the building car, witnessed the scene just now, and was shocked in his heart, he had also raised troops and experienced the battle formation, but it was only a fight with thieves, the scene was far from being compared with the battle of more than 100,000 people, and the opponent was not as fierce as the Qing soldiers.
Long Wu stood on the high platform, scanning the entire battlefield, the place where the heavy armored cavalry had raided was simply miserable, the soldiers who were killed and trampled to death were in extremely miserable shape, many of them were bleeding to death, and the corpses were all turned into flesh.
The light cavalry of the Qing army was still full of energy, and they took the trouble to ride and shoot in a roundabout way, as if they would never stop until they let go of their arrows!
Seeing this, Wang Yan was not optimistic, he knew that he was a little underestimated, and the successive victories in Huguang and Jiangxi and the killing of Luck Dehun made him a little overconfident.
Bolo has far more soldiers and horses than Wang Yan, but at the beginning, Wang Yan was not satisfied with being undefeated, but wanted to ask for victory, so 10,000 governors were placed behind him to recuperate, in order to hope that after the Qing army's attack was frustrated, he could defend and counterattack and cover the Qing army, but at this time he only wanted the army to remain undefeated.
"Your Majesty~" Wang Yan saw that Long Wu's face was not good-looking, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it is too dangerous here, please also ask Your Majesty to temporarily move to the rear army and wait for news from the minister." ”
Long Wu felt the worry in Wang Yan's heart, and also saw the strength of the Qing army's heavy cavalry, but he shook his head, suddenly held Wang Yan's hand, and said firmly: "Even if it is a personal expedition, I will not go anywhere, just stand behind Aiqing, and witness Aiqing break the enemy~"
When Wang Yan realized that he was a little underestimated, Bolo in the distance was also entangled, and he, like Wang Yan, came to fight this big battle with the heart of victory, but no one could help anyone.
The function of the heavy cavalry is very simple, it only does one thing, that is, to break the formation! It has only one tactic, and that is impact!
But now the tactics used by the cavalry of the Ming army are to wait for him to come out of the battle, and smash it with a blunt weapon from behind!
Although this attack penetrated the Ming army's large array, the heavy cavalry also lost more than 500 people, if the tactics were not changed, and the heavy cavalry would be doomed, and the light cavalry would also suffer a lot of losses.
At that time, I don't know if his heavy cavalry will run out first, or Wang Yan's large array will collapse first.
With the physical strength of the heavy armored cavalry, he could still impact at least twice, and he felt that Wang Yan's soldiers and horses would definitely not be able to withstand two attacks, and would inevitably be smashed into a plate of loose sand, but his heavy armored cavalry would also be killed and wounded.
Although as long as Wang Yan is in chaos, Bolo can lock in the victory, but whether it is worth riding all the heavy horses, Bolo is very entangled in his heart.
"Wang Yan is a famous general of Nanming, as long as he is defeated, Nanming will no longer have anyone to compete with the Qing Dynasty, kill 10,000 enemies, and lose 8,000 himself, which can be a great purge after that, and it seems that Longwu is also on the car, as long as these two people are captured, it is worth it if only 2,000 heavy armored cavalry die!"
Having made up his mind, Bolo showed the qualities that a famous general should have, did not hesitate at all, did not drag his feet, and immediately issued a military order.
The heavy armored cavalry, which had reorganized the formation, strolled again and rushed towards the Ming army's large formation, but unlike last time, they followed two thousand light armored cavalry behind them and pounced on the left flank of the Ming army.
These light cavalry were the covering men and horses released by Bolo in order to prevent the Ming cavalry from chasing the heavy cavalry again.
As soon as the cavalry was launched, and when Bolo had already decided to make a desperate bet, his eyes swept to the Ming Array, but suddenly Wang Yan still had a cavalry, and he never moved.
That is the other 5,000 governors led by Yuan Zongdi, who are on the same side as Jin Shengheng and are at the tail of the army, and they have not made any moves since the beginning of the war!
Bolo suddenly realized that even if the infantry formation in front of the Ming army was chaotic, and this horse army would still cover the retreat of the rout, in the end, the Qing army would not be much cheaper.
Bolo couldn't help but be furious when he thought of this!
(Thanks to Qin Songwang, I was happy with the reward of a group of fools, and I thanked Shino Saburo for the gift.) )
