Chapter 130: Lancer Tactics

Fang Irong rushed to the front, and Lao Guo followed him closely, shouting: "Keep your head down, don't observe the enemy's situation." The pen www.biquge.info body and spear are connected in a straight line. The spear is stabbed with the strength of the waist and legs, the speed of the horse, not the two arms and not the wrist, if you don't want to cut off the hand! ”

"Yes, Sect Leader; Understood, Leader! Fang Irong responded loudly, and his mouth was filled with dust.

Although Lao Guo asked him to lower his head and not observe the enemy's situation, he couldn't help but raise his head slightly.

I saw that in the speed of the horse, his spear stabbed into the chest of an enemy horseman, and the tip of the spear sank deep into the body. And at this moment, a huge reaction force surged along the barrel of the gun, shaking the wrists numb. At the same time, there was a "click", and the thick spear shaft broke.

Similarly, the spear stabbed by his companion also broke in an instant, and his eyes were full of flying sawdust.

The stabbed enemy fell to the ground with a broken spear and swept into the hooves of a galloping horse.

Why did the barrel of the gun break?

Fang Irong was a little distracted, and the war horse was still crashing forward.

Lao Guo: "Draw the knife, draw the knife!" ”

"Yes!" Before Fang Irong could come back to his senses, the pressure in front of him suddenly relaxed, and when he looked up, it turned out that his charge just now had already penetrated the enemy's cavalry formation.

"Let's go, let's go back to our roots!" Lao Guo shouted: "Don't look back, don't block the way of the brothers behind!" ”

"That's it?" Fang Irong was confused, this is too simple, right?

"Yes, yes, yes, it's over, go back!"

Fang Wurong was extremely dissatisfied, sitting on the galloping warhorse, he still couldn't help but look back. But I saw that behind me was all rushing into the battle, and there was still a continuous "click" sound, and everyone's guns broke instantly when they pierced into the enemy's body.

A platoon of cavalry rushed over, followed by a platoon, and the white army surged like an angry wave, and in the blink of an eye, the enemy cavalry was swallowed up.

The sawdust and splatters of human blood were like Kong Yanzhou's cavalry falling to the ground one after another. Short, simple, violent.

Is this a real riding battle, so spectacular!

The wind swept the yellow dust and hit the face, like an arrow like an arrow, slightly painful.

In a trance, Fang Irong had an illusion, feeling that his strength had never been so great, and he felt like he was riding in a hurricane, according to the White Emperor's twilight, soaring thousands of miles.

"it, the boy is alive, so he can be considered a happy life!"

Fang Wurong held the reins tightly with both hands, and his body rose and fell freely. Blood poured out of his hands, and was blown into the air by a whistling gale.

The strength of the cavalry hedge was so great that the spear pierced out, and the tiger's mouth was torn open.

Imagine, if the spear hadn't been broken, I'd be afraid that I would have been directly dismounted. Wang Daosi is really talented, and he can even think of this.

That's right, this kind of cavalry spear was specially shot by Wang Shen for the White Army a while ago, and it was used to let the cavalry charge into battle.

The cavalry makes the spear different from the infantry, and when you fight on a horse, the horse is always in a state of high motion. If you can't stop, if you stop, it's a live target for the infantry. The power of the cavalry lies in the impact, and the cavalry that loses speed is less effective than the infantry.

Even if the cavalry and the cavalry hedged, they would make contact with each other at the moment, and then everyone would run away. In a large-scale cavalry battle, once separated, I am afraid that there will be no chance to meet again. Because, there's the next enemy rider coming at you head-on.

When riding a horse to assassinate, people borrow horsepower, horses borrow human momentum, people and horses are one, and all the kinetic energy of the rapid sprint of men and horses is on the tip of the spear, this power is very huge, if it is not stable on the horse, even if it stabs the enemy, it will bring the knight off the horse, so the problem that must be solved with the spear immediately is how to buffer this reaction force.

In ancient China, this problem was perfectly solved. In the Sui and Tang dynasties, when heavy cavalry swept the world, mounted cavalry all held horse lances. This weapon is extremely flexible, bending like a large bow when stabbing an enemy, and then ejecting corpses. Moreover, on the horse lance, the cavalry also summed up a whole set of perfect tactics - lay the horse lance flat, with the help of horsepower, draw it out like a whip, and cut the human body with a long sharp blade. Passing in front of the enemy's formation, like peeling potatoes, weakening the enemy's strength layer by layer -- this is also the standard tactics of the heavy cavalry of the Western Army of the Northern Song Dynasty.

However, it is not easy to make a weapon like a lance, it usually takes three years, and it is extremely expensive.

The Northern Song Dynasty was financially abundant and could still maintain several thousand heavy horses. After the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, everyone felt that this kind of weapon was too expensive, and a large number of firearms were installed in the Yuan and Ming dynasties. No one could afford the losses suffered by the heavy cavalry of the horses and the heavy cavalry charging the infantry in large formations.

Soon, the task of the cavalry changed from charging into harassment, roundabout volleys, and pursuing the router, and the heavy cavalry was replaced by light cavalry, and the horseman's saber was replaced by a saber.

As for medieval Europe, which was very poor, the spear cavalry developed into a different kind of thing. Most of the front shafts of their riding spears were made of brittle wood, such as applewood, so that if the shaft was struck with great force, it would shatter.

A typical spear is about two meters or more, with a sharp metal cone mounted on the head, a thinner and brittle wood at the front of the shaft, a handguard at the back of the middle to prevent the grip from moving forward when stabbing the target, and a thicker wooden cone at the end for counterweight and firm clamping.

As a traverser, Wang Shen naturally knows this.

At the beginning, he just wanted to form a cavalry, but after thinking about it, this kind of weakly armored cavalry really pulled into the battlefield and didn't die too quickly. Due to the lack of horses, the Song army summed up a set of tactics to break the cavalry on foot. For example, use a bow and crossbow to suppress the formation, and use a shield to protect the light infantry behind. Then the long spear was erected, waiting for the blinding cavalry to crash headlong and be stabbed into skewers.

To break the phalanx of spear infantry, the cavalry had to be equipped with the same spears.

Inspired by medieval European knights, Wang Shen also made many spears for cavalry out of brittle wood, and made the front part of the spear hollow. Once an enemy is stabbed, the shaft of the spear will break, ensuring that the cavalry will not be dismounted or break their wrists due to the force of the shock.

Of course, this spear can only be used once, which consumes a lot of money, and can only be used on critical occasions.

Today, Wang Shen expected that Kong Yanzhou would not be willing to stand in place and be beaten passively, and would inevitably attack at the next moment. Therefore, he put the cavalry on important armor and cavalry guns.

Facts have proved that the effect is very good, Kong Yanzhou's cavalry was wiped out by Tabai in an instant, and there is no way to fight back.

"It's a shame that Wang Junenvoy came up with this trick, the so-called genius is probably like this!" Fang Irong was shocked and admired in his heart: "There are still many things I need to learn, a lot. ”
