Chapter 198: Sima Zhi led the army to break the formation
To say just now Ranat. Gupta saw the 10,000 heavily armored cavalry of the Qin army from far and near from afar, and he sighed a little in his heart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The Qin army's combat power is the best in the world, it seems that it is not a lie, and it really lives up to its name! After the Qin army ambushed in the Valley of the Sinking Tree, the defeated and fleeing army could have such a mighty military posture! No wonder the Gupta Dynasty wanted to pour out the country's troops, so much effort, and set up three ambushes one after another to try to eliminate this group of Qin troops!
Then when he saw that the 50,000 archers of his army at this time, the tens of thousands of feathered arrows that shot at the enemy together, did not pose any threat to this group of Qin cavalry, Lanat. Gupta's face began to change! He began to realize that he had changed the army stationed on Musang Mountain to the main road under Chen Bing Mountain, trying to fight head-on with the Qin army in the field, so as to compete for the victory, perhaps he had made a big mistake!
Although heavy armored cavalry is rare, it is not a very rare thing in the land of Tianzhu! Among the army of the Gupta Dynasty, there are 30,000 heavy armored cavalry, but these 30,000 heavy armored cavalry are all elephants instead of war horses, because under the heavy armor of hundreds of pounds, the war horses can't bear it at all! The war horse can't bear it, how can it go into battle and fight?
But the heavily armored cavalry of the Qin army actually came on war horses one by one, how did the Qin army do it? Could it be that the Qin army has excellent horse breeds? Lanat. Gupta is puzzled!
Lanat. It's normal for Gupta to not understand this, because how do he know that Qin Jun not only has exquisite craftsmanship in building Qin Sword, but also strives for excellence in building armor. The armor created by the skilled craftsmen of the Qin army is not only greatly reduced, but also extremely delicate, and the protective power is not comparable to ordinary heavy armor!
Lanat. What Gupta was thinking, the ordinary soldiers of the Gupta Dynasty would not know at all, but these 200,000 soldiers, looking at the tens of thousands of feather arrows shot by their army, did not have the slightest lethality against the 10,000 cavalry of the Qin army, and they began to panic one by one! The original idea and face like beating a water dog have also become vanished at this time! Not only that, but they looked at the Qin Army's iron armor that was getting closer and closer, and there was a burst of fear in their hearts!
At this time, at the foot of Musang Mountain, the Gupta Dynasty infantry army formation at this time seemed to be the same as before, one by one, the military formations were neatly arranged, rigorous and measured. However, in the military array, the fighting spirit of 200,000 soldiers was ignored by Sima Zhi's 10,000 iron cavalry, ignoring the arrogance of the rain of arrows, and the blow began to decay!
At this time, the 10,000 heavily armored cavalry led by Sima Zhi had already rushed through the enemy's rain of arrows, reached the foot of Musang Mountain, and reached the front of several military formations formed by the 200,000 troops of the Gupta Dynasty. I saw Sima Zhi smile coldly: "Listen to the order!" Raise the spear"!
Sima Zhi gave an order, and the 10,000 Qin army soldiers behind him raised the Zhangba lance in their hands, or the Zhangba spear, and pressed the spear close to the waist, and raised it forward with one hand. This tactical action of raising a spear, 10,000 people neatly seemed to be a person, and under the light of the sun, flashed a silver brilliance!
The soldiers in the Gupta Dynasty's military array, seeing the uniform movements of the Qin army's sharp soldiers, the fear on their faces became even stronger! And the 10,000 ironclad cavalry of the Qin army, under the leadership of Du Lieutenant Sima Zhi, raised their spears forward at this time, like a fierce tiger with a bloody mouth open, rushing towards several military formations of the Gupta Dynasty!
At this time, the distance between the two sides was only about seven or eight zhang, and the soldiers of the Gupta Dynasty who were afraid, and the soldiers at the forefront of the special military formation, under the control of fear, did not wait for the general to give orders, and stabbed the spears in their hands one after another. Thinking that he stabbed early, this spear could protect himself from being killed by the Qin army rushing from the opposite side!
Since ancient times, the infantry army formation against the heavy armored cavalry, it is not an advantage, in the case of no advantage, every soldier in the army formation, even more closely coordinated, it is possible to stop the enemy front, it is possible to defeat the invading cavalry!
The best tactical tactics for the cavalry phalanx against the cavalry force is to firmly resist the rear waist of the soldiers in front of the soldiers to ensure that the rows of soldiers in front of them are not scattered and retreated by the rushing cavalry. And the first few rows of soldiers, at the moment when the two sides are engaged, they must tie their legs to the horse, or firmly stabilize the shield in front of them, or use the power of both hands to stab the spear in their hands at the incoming enemy with lightning speed, or stab the incoming enemy's crotch war horse.
Under such a tactical tactic, as long as the enemy cavalry cannot break through the front row, the cavalry's momentum will be sharply reduced. Once the enemy's cavalry is not in the momentum, then after falling into a stalemate, the cavalry without the ability to maneuver will not only not pose a threat to the pawn formation, but will be suppressed by the pawn phalanx, so as to be defeated and flee! was even killed layer by layer by the pawn phalanx, and finally the whole army was annihilated!
And the soldiers in the front row of the Gupta Dynasty's front military formation, before the Qin army's heavy cavalry approached, took the lead in stabbing the spear in their hands. In this way, there is no doubt that the opportunity is lost, and the only chance for the cavalry to win against the heavy cavalry is also the moment these soldiers stab their spears, it becomes gone!
And all this was seen by Sima Zhi, and the contempt on Sima Zhi's face became a little stronger! At this time, the 10,000 heavily armored cavalry led by Sima Zhi was already only a zhang away from the enemy's military formation, and at such a close distance, not to mention the Zhangba spear, even if it was spitting, it could be climactic!
Sima Zhi shouted: "Thorn"! The front row followed Sima Zhi closely and hundreds of Qin army sharps, and they all used their horsepower to raise their spears and stab forward, and the hundreds of soldiers in the front row of the enemy's army formation were all pierced through the chest by the Qin army's spears, and they died on the spot! With just one stab, the difference in combat power between the two sides is revealed! That's all there is to it, Ranat. Gupta tried his best to arrange the soldier formation, and the Qin army's sharp soldiers tore open a big hole several zhang wide!
Sima Zhi and the others rushed into the enemy's military formation, and the momentum of the war horses did not decrease in the slightest, and in an instant, the enemy's current several military formations were shattered by the heavy armored cavalry of the Qin army! And the thousands of Qin army iron horsemen behind Sima Zhi rushed along the gap opened by Sima Zhi and rushed in batches. After a while, the five military formations formed by the soldiers of the Gupta Dynasty at the forefront began to collapse under the iron hooves of the Qin army!
After the military formation was broken by the Qin army's iron cavalry, those Gupta Dynasty soldiers who had broken and scattered, under the Qin army's iron hooves and war knives, either died tragically, or were deliberately driven by the Qin army, and fled for their lives towards the closely connected own army formation!
At this moment, these Gupta Dynasty soldiers who only cared about fleeing for their lives, they ran for their lives in front, and the Qin army chased and covered up in the rear. These Gupta Dynasty sergeants have become the helpers of the Qin army, helping the Qin army break through their next military formations!
