Chapter 417: Smoke Dragon



The reason why he specifically took Yangguan Avenue was that Sun Yuan also had a last resort.

I know best about my own family affairs, and the strength of the Ningxiang Army lies in discipline and in the neat queue. In terms of individual combat, five or six Ningxiang troops are afraid that they will not be able to defeat a single Jiannu. But relying on the tactics that transcend this era and the iron-like discipline that kneaded them together, they were invincible heroes.

If you take a small road, you can certainly limit the impact of the enemy's cavalry, but your own formation will be scattered first, and what awaits the spearmen of the Ningxiang Army is a one-sided massacre.

At this time, Sun Yuan realized that one of the major shortcomings of the Ningxiang Army---- the spear phalanx was not suitable for terrain operations under complex conditions.

Therefore, along the way, they are all marching along the official road

。 This time I returned to the teacher, and it is estimated that I will also follow this path.

Human legs can't always outrun the war horse, and if it goes on like this, it will be a big trouble.

In front of the Qing cavalry intercepted, followed by the enemy's brigade, if you want to retreat smoothly, you have to kill this group of cavalry first.

In fact, the Qing cavalry of this era did not like to ride war horses to charge into battle. War horses are only used as a means of transport, and after the cavalry arrives on the battlefield, they will often choose to dismount and attack with armor on. Slash on a warhorse, but only for pursuit. The real solution to the battle had to rely on hoplites.

Seeing that the two hundred companions were killed by the Ningxiang army almost without any resistance, the two hundred cavalry obviously hesitated, and did not dismount, but moved closer one after another, forming a triangular charge formation, ready to rely on the strong impact to give this Ming army a little color.

The spear phalanx of the Ningxiang Army was still advancing slowly without stopping, and the neat slogans of the soldiers "one-two-one-two" were everywhere.

If you can look down from the air, you can see that a whole tofu block keeps moving forward, and after walking such a long way, it has not been deformed at all.

Tang Wenxing's more than 100 scout cavalry were in the middle of the phalanx, and he moved his horse and followed Sun Yuan's side step by step. To be honest, the hearty battle just now had already made his blood boil, and he just wanted to stand at the front of the team with a spear and participate in the fierce assassination.

It's a pity that as a cavalry commander, except for a few previous battles with the enemy's small group of scout cavalry, there is no part of him in this large-scale battle.

Tang Wenxing somewhat understood that General Sun had a big problem with the use of cavalry, and he was purely using himself as a spy.

"General, it looks like the enemy is about to charge with cavalry. To fight cavalry, the best way is to ride a broken horse. General, let's get on! ”

"General, let's get on! If you are a spectator like this again, I'm about to freeze out? ”

"General, use us!" With Tang Wenxing taking the lead, the cavalry asked for battle.

Sun Yuan saw that the cavalry was in high spirits, so he nodded: "It's also time for you to go out." ()”

"Thank you, General

! Tang Wenxing was overjoyed, tightened the bandage tightly wrapped around his left arm, and turned over on his horse.

More than a hundred men also got into the saddle at the same time, and the war horses understood human nature, as if they also understood something, and let out a long neighing of excitement.

"You'll have to wait, though." Sun Yuan bowed slightly.

"What, is it possible that the general wants to break his word?" Tang Wenxing was greatly dissatisfied.

"No, no, it's not that you won't be allowed to go into battle, you will definitely have to fight the battle, but it's not now, you just wait for my orders." Sun Yuan suddenly sneered: "To deal with the cavalry, our Ningxiang army has experience, and I can't do anything if Li Zicheng's 2,000 cavalry rushed into battle in Chuzhou." Just two or three hundred horsemen in front of me want to keep the Ningxiang Army, it's a joke! I don't care if the commander of this Qing army is Dolgon, Yue Tuo or Duoduo, today let them see the means that our Han people have learned since the Qin and Han dynasties. ”

After seeing the results of his army's training in the past year and a half, and knowing that an army that looks like a modern killing machine has matured, Sun Yuan was full of confidence.

"Boom!" After the two hundred Jiannu horsemen gathered, they hesitated slightly, and at the same time gave the war horse a whip fiercely, screamed with all their strength, and rushed towards the Ming army. They were already afraid of these two thousand demons-like Ming army, and people would subconsciously shout when they were afraid. Because of this, the Jiannu cavalry raised the horse speed to the maximum from the beginning, leaving no room for error.

More than 200 horses, each horse plus the knight on horseback weighs more than 1,000 catties, and the heavy horse even reaches 2,000 catties. This charge was very amazing, and Sun Yuan clearly felt that the ground under his feet was soft and fluctuated clearly.

The drought was too severe, and the sonorous horses' hooves stepped on the ground, stirring up bursts of smoke and dust, as if dragging a long tail behind them, rolling in.

Cavalry is a tank in the era of cold weapons.

Generally, in the event of such a cavalry group charge, the infantry will be under tremendous pressure. With the training level of the Ming Dynasty army, without waiting for the enemy's war horse to rush to the front, the timid had already thrown away the weapons in their hands and fled. Some ran away, others lost their courage and ran after them. Under the avalanche effect, more and more soldiers were scattered, and finally it was out of control, and this was how the Guanning army was defeated by Jiannu's cavalry countless times before.

However, the scene in front of me is familiar, and there is no good scenery in a familiar place.

"One-two-one-two, stand...... Correct! ”

"Stand ----- right

! ”

With an order, the entire phalanx immediately stopped, and many soldiers even had knowing smiles on their faces.

They were all witnesses of the first battle of Chuzhou, and after this battle, the armies went through countless reviews, and how to deal with the enemy's cavalry, everyone was too familiar to be more familiar.

"First row, squat!"

"Wow!" With a bang, the spearmen in the front row of the phalanx squatted down at the same time, stabbing the end of the spear into the dirt fiercely, and the tip of the spear pointed obliquely forward at a forty-five degree angle.

"Second row, spear stab!"

Another row of spears fell, resting on the shoulders of the comrades in front, and the hedgehogs, which had shrunk into a ball, swelled again.

"Musketeers, prepare!"

"Musketeers prepare!"

The muzzle of the black hole is pointed forward.

At this time, the enemy's war horses had already rushed to the front.

The expected collapse did not happen, and a trace of horror flashed in the eyes of the Jiannu knight on horseback.

It was no surprise that the war horse, which had already understood human nature, saw the dense spears in front of him and the snowy spear tips, and did not wait for the master on his back to order, and at the same time turned to the side and swept parallel in front of the phalanx.

At this time, a large cloud of dust chased after him, dragging a long yellow smoke screen in front of the formation.

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

……

The officer of the Ningxiang Army calmly ordered.

"Bang" More than 500 muskets were fired at the same time, and countless sparks flickered in the yellow smoke dragon at the same time, and then, the white smoke screen rose up, entangled with the yellow earth dragon, whirling and twisting in the wind.
