Chapter 2282: The Power of the Cavalry
Caught off guard, more than 50 soldiers fell in a pool of blood.
"Defend!" The former generals reacted and shouted, no matter what means the enemy had, the current distance of one hundred and twenty paces had threatened their safety.
The crossbow army began their own attack, the continuous crossbow arrows came towards the soldiers of the southern army, the crossbow arrows in their hands will not stop, the three-stage archery method, so that every crossbow soldier is nervously busy, in the usual training, they have had too much such experience, they understand how to kill the enemy as quickly as possible on the battlefield.
The soldiers of the southern army faced such an attack by the strong crossbow army, and they failed to react for a while, they did not expect that the attack of the enemy's crossbow arrows did not stop, originally thought that after getting close to the enemy, these crossbowmen would stop attacking, but now it seems that there are difficulties, many enemy soldiers look at the strong crossbow army with some awe, they are ordinary soldiers in the southern army, and they can not be said to have too strong a sense of belonging to the three counties.
Obey the orders of the three county guards, and then follow the army to the outside of Chengdu, and then talk about the conquest of this kind of thing, and they can't decide, what they can do is obey.
The soldiers of the southern army experienced the cruelty of war, but they had no way to retreat, the sound of war drums was an order to attack, and if they did not get the order to retreat and leave the battlefield, they were deserters.
Zheng Ang's face was gloomy, the crossbowmen in the enemy army caused a lot of damage to their own soldiers, if it continued according to this situation, when their own army approached the enemy, maybe they would have to pay the price of five hundred people, and before they really started fighting, they paid the price of five hundred people, Zheng Ang's heart must be unwilling, there are many barbarian soldiers in the front army, and in the process of the confrontation between the two sides, these barbarian soldiers are extremely important forces.
Although Zhengang treated the barbarian tribe's soldiers in peace, he did not deny the role of the barbarian soldiers on the battlefield, their heroic killing on the battlefield can cause greater damage to the enemy, compared to the Han army soldiers, the barbarian soldiers are more desperate on the battlefield, they will not retreat because the enemy army captures the strong, these characteristics are what most of the Han soldiers lack.
However, Zhengang will not let there be barbarians among the soldiers under his command.
After paying the price of more than 500 people, the soldiers of the Chang'an army and the southern army began to collide, this is a war related to whether Yizhou can be stabilized quickly, the soldiers of both sides sacrificed their lives on the battlefield to kill, through their eyes, you can see that the soldiers of the southern army looked a little panicked and helpless, and the eyes of the soldiers of the Chang'an army were angry.
Different mentalities determine what kind of actions they will have on the battlefield, just relying on the bravery of the barbarians, it is impossible to cause too much damage to the Chang'an army, how brave the Qiang people in Liangzhou are, they were still defeated in their hands, and the madness of the Qiang people on the battlefield is not weaker than the barbarians.
Moreover, the number of barbarians in the southern army is limited, and it is very difficult to block the pace of the Chang'an army's attack to a greater extent.
Zhengang was a little hard to believe the results of the battle, the soldiers he had high hopes for, in the face of the enemy's attack, even showed a defeat, if the army failed, his situation would be worrying, not to mention that if the enemy's soldiers appeared on the battlefield, what damage would be caused to the southern army, no matter what, he had to resist the tens of thousands of troops under Zhao Yun's command, and provide enough time for the army in the rear.
Zhengang's idea is not wrong, after all, he is the elite soldiers of the southern army on the battlefield, but if you think about the number of people on both sides, it is estimated that Zhengang will not have such a mood, the southern army has 40,000 soldiers on the battlefield, and the Chang'an army is the same, that is to say, the number of soldiers on both sides is the same, and it is impossible to take advantage of the number of soldiers.
The soldiers on both sides fell into a stalemate, and Zhao Yun ordered: "The herald Dian Man led the cavalry and directly attacked the enemy's middle army!" ”
Dian Man, who led the cavalry to wander on the battlefield, was excited after receiving the order, and the Chinese army that attacked the enemy army, if it succeeded, it was a great achievement, and the Chinese army meant to an army, Dian Man was still very clear, and he was very satisfied with this task.
As the deputy general of the flying horse, the speed of the promotion of the position in the army is definitely very fast, he relied on his own efforts step by step to get to the current position, in the flying horse, Dian Man has a lot of fame, although he is the son of Dian Wei, Dian Man usually does not rely on the identity of Dian Wei.
Five hundred flying horsemen, like a sharp sword, pierced into the enemy's formation, where they passed, the enemy's soldiers suffered heavy casualties, scimitars kept harvesting the lives of the enemy, and the foot soldiers were so fragile in the face of the cavalry, basically they had no backhand power.
The speed of the flying horse is very fast, just the collision of the war horse, can make the enemy's soldiers pay a heavy price, this is also a huge advantage of the cavalry on the battlefield, just by virtue of the power of the cavalry charge can make the enemy kill and wound a lot, and even let the enemy's foot soldiers dare not easily step forward to meet the enemy, this is the power of cavalry on the battlefield.
Cavalry is a crucial factor in determining victory or defeat on the battlefield, no matter which monarch, they attach great importance to the strength of cavalry, and they may not be able to train a large number of cavalry for some reason, which does not hinder their pursuit of cavalry.
Getting more cavalry means having a greater advantage on the battlefield in the future.
There are some cavalry in the southern counties, but these cavalry are many times worse than the flying cavalry in terms of equipment and training in peacetime, and the experience of the flying cavalry owner in the battlefield, how many strong cavalry fell under the scimitar of the flying horse.
When facing the cavalry charge, many foot soldiers directly chose to avoid and face the enemy's cavalry with flesh and blood, they did not have such courage.
The barbarian soldiers showed their madness on such battlefields, and when faced with the cavalry charge, the soldiers of the southern army chose to retreat and avoid, while the barbarian soldiers rushed forward, but their resistance was so ridiculous in the eyes of the flying horsemen, and a crazy barbarian pawn fell under the attack of the cavalry.
The appearance of cavalry caused a lot of turmoil in the southern army, at this time the southern army was at a disadvantage in the face of the attack of the Chang'an army, and the enemy's cavalry was dispatched again, wouldn't it be faster to lose.
