Chapter 297: Cavalry Tactics, Unilateral Crushing

"Kill, kill all these Jurchen Tartars!"

"Gori Tartar, come!"

In the roar and curse of countless cavalry of the Han army in Jingzhou, the two cavalry teams invariably raised the speed of their horses, and the distance between the two sides became closer and closer.

The horses galloped and neighed, and countless horses' hooves struck the ground rapidly, and in the next moment, the two cavalry armies with the same tactics and tactics were about to collide together without any tricks!

At this moment, he saw that the white horse on the opposite side was riding a tall divine horse to the extreme, and it had already entered the range of one hundred and fifty paces.

Han Chang had entered a state of concentration and selflessness in an instant, only to see him sitting upright on the saddle, his back straight, and as soon as he reached out and took off the three-stone magpie drawing hard bow from the bow bag, he concentrated his energy, put on the feather arrow, and shot towards the chest of the first cavalry general on the opposite side with one arrow.

Han Chang has been good at riding and archery since he was a child, he can open a one-stone hard bow at the age of twelve, and at the age of seventeen, he can hold a three-stone iron-tire bow.

All along, he has relied on this ability to ride and shoot, and in the southern and northern battles with Han Qinghe, he overwhelmed other fierce generals in the army at once, and made the most meritorious achievements.

At this time, his blood boiled all over his body, and his spirit was highly excited, and he felt that this arrow had been used at the highest level, and it was the most perfect arrow he had ever shot.

So when he let go, Han Chang exclaimed with confidence.

"Medium!"

Every Han Chang led the Jingzhou Han cavalry, and at this time, their eyes widened, wanting to see the scene of Han Chang shooting down the opponent with one arrow.

Just like the usual crusade against Gao Yongchang's rebellion, the thief will fall silently.

However, the next moment, the opposite rider just flicked the spear in his hand, and the feather arrow was swept out.

Han Chang's eyes widened suddenly, and most of the Jingzhou Han Riders who were about to shout cheers were interrupted by the cheers they wanted to blurt out.

At the same time, he saw the two horsemen behind him on the white horse, and at this time they bent their bows and arrows, and they wanted to return the color.

But he heard the roar of the first horseman, and then the bow and arrow of the two horses aimed at Han Chang went down slightly, only to hear the two sounds of "hea" and "hea", the two arrows pierced the air, and Han Chang heard the crotch of the mount screaming miserably, and fell to the ground in response.

Han Chang was only frightened, and subconsciously picked up his kick, and his body rolled forward, which dissolved the momentum, but his shoulders and arms had been injured in many places.

"Da Lang, get on the horse!"

At this time, he heard countless horses' hooves running by, and then heard someone shouting his name loudly, Han Chang turned his head a little dazedly, and saw two horses slowing down and running towards him, and one of them stretched out his hand downward.

Han Chang hurriedly stood up, stretched out his hand and grabbed it, but was swung by the knight hard, circled, and landed behind the man's saddle.

Han Chang raised his eyes and looked forward, and saw that he had fallen to the end, and at this time, the cavalry on both wings had already met the enemy, and they were constantly pouring arrows on the thin cavalry formation of the two rows of Jurchen Tartars.

However, these Jurchen armored riders are fully clothed in armor, and they still wear face armor on their faces, and even the war horses are also wearing iron armor, so it seems that the rain of arrows is useless to take these Jurchen barbarians.

The two hundred cavalrymen in the middle who abandoned their bows and changed their guns were no more than thirty or forty paces away from the Jurchen cavalry formation at this time, and they were about to collide with each other in the next moment.

And the knight who was running in front of him on a white horse and silver spear also accelerated again in an instant, and crashed headlong into the cavalry array under his command.

I saw that the spear in the hand flew up and down like lightning, and the shadow of the spear flickered, as if thousands of pear blossoms bloomed in front of the horse in an instant, and blood splashed in all directions, and the screams rang out one after another.

And behind the knight on the white horse, there were two more riding a yellow horse and a red horse, with a pair of double hammers and two water-milled steel horses in their hands, flying from side to side, but all those who were swept by the double hammers or double horses were all brains bursting, and they fell off their horses before they even had time to scream.

Behind the two of them, there were two archers, also with arrows, and I don't know how many people were hit by arrows in the throat and face, and they fell off their horses like wontons.

Including Han Chang, everyone was blindfolded at once, and everyone felt a kind of creepy fear when they looked at the five knights who were covered in armor and wore ghost face armor.

Rao is Han Chang is young and vigorous, all the way to the battle and invincible, it seems that no one is in his eyes, at this time he also fell into his courage, desperately clicked on the single kick, reached out and grabbed the reins of the horse, and was ready to turn around and run away.

Han Chang is like this, how good can the other more than 100 cavalry Jingzhou Han cavalry of the Liao Kingdom be better?

Seeing that the five knights in front of him were as unstoppable as the five fierce gods, and behind the five people, two columns of "Jurchen cavalry" lined up in a tight formation like an iron wall collided fiercely again, and what greeted them was a snow-bright blade like a forest.

In the past, when talking about how powerful the Jurchen barbarians were, these Jingzhou Han cavalry may not have the same idea as Han Chang, thinking that it may not be that the Jurchens are too powerful, but that the Khitan cavalry and Xi cavalry are too bad.

It was only at this time that they really saw the terrifying nature of the Jurchen cavalry's close formation, like a wall advance!

The Khitan and Xi are both grassland peoples (the Jurchen are fishing and hunting people in the primeval forest), advocating the tactics of light cavalry and rangers.

According to the Song people's description of the cavalry tactics of the Liao State, the Liao cavalry tactics were scattered, quite flexible, advocating mounted archery guerrillas, and avoiding tough battles.

"Stand in a column without a fight, retreat and take advantage of it...... Shameless in retreat, scattered and reunited", "convenient for bows and arrows, clumsy in swords and halberds", "each bow and cavalry are violently gathered, and they attack one side of the big array".

And the Song people summed up the Jurchens' rules of war: "Everyone and horses are all armored." The sword is self-deputed, the bow and arrow are behind, set but not fired, not fifty steps do not shoot, and the bow strength is no more than seven buckets"; "The captives use more sharp formations, retreat for a while, come again and again, and each formation is as heavy as a formation";

"There is a saying in the captive stream: 'If you can't fight more than 100 rendezvous, how can you call it a horse army!' ”;“ Repeatedly fought Xijon (thief), but once he entered, the victory or defeat was decided. The Jin people are not chased, defeated and not chaotic, the whole army is behind, and they are more advanced and persevering, so that they will die if they are cool, and every battle is not tiring and indecisive......"

From this, it can be seen that the cavalry of the Liao State is not good at cavalry charging and is accustomed to cavalry mobile cavalry shooting, and is not good at impact hand-to-hand combat. However, it is this kind of tactic that the opponent's Song army, which is dominated by foot soldiers, is invincible.

Because mobility and initiative were in the hands of the Liao cavalry, the Song army would not fight when it was ready, and even if it lost, it could run, constantly harassing with bows and arrows; Seize the opportunity to disperse and reunite to attack, constantly occupy the initiative, and expand the results.

But because of this, the Liao cavalry, who was good at mobile guerrilla and was not good at charging, encountered the Jurchen cavalry tactics that were also mainly cavalry, wearing iron armor, and constantly charging and desperate, and these Liao cavalry were suddenly defeated.

Now the cavalry army under Han Chang's command has encountered this problem, before Han Chang relied on the number of "Jurchen cavalry" several times, had to fight with one of them, the cavalry on both sides hedged, the opposite side of the men and horses were all wearing iron armor, lined up in a close formation of knees touching knees, spears rushed like a forest.

These Jingzhou Han horsemen instantly fell into fear, and at the same time, the war horses under their crotches were also spiritual animals, and they would never rush in the direction of death, seeing that the spears on the opposite side were like forests reflecting a little cold light, these war horses neighed loudly and dodged by themselves.

Or make a sharp turn, or wander a few steps outward, and before we can fight, we are in chaos.

By the time the two columns of "Jurchen armored cavalry" rushed over like a wall-like cavalry, the enemies in front of more than 100 Han cavalry in Jingzhou of Liaoguo had already spread out to both sides in a mess and ran away, and the remaining few had no time to run, and those who were still in front of these "Jurchen cavalry" were slaughtered on one side!
