The cavalry in the Suyue army was not the main force, and their role was limited to chasing and killing the rout, disrupting the formation, and flanking around the rear to force the enemy's line to loosen up. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

If it is cooperated with Yu Linwei, this is undoubtedly excellent, creating an opportunity for Yu Linwei to impact. However, Xia Jun's irregular light cavalry were all in Yangguan, and Chen Jian did not mobilize at all and did not have time to mobilize.

The stirrup appeared for seven years, but how to fight after having the stirrup Chen Jian did not teach these people, but instead made a complete set of perfect chariot charging system, so the absolute main force in Su Yue's army was the eighty chariots and the foot infantry behind.

This is also the reason why Jian Chen has been crawling forward slowly and obscenely, holding most of the Thunder Fire Guard and a battalion in his hands and not deploying. The impact of chariots on the Great Plains was much stronger than that of the stirrup cavalry.

Most of the cavalry in Suyue's army were small and medium-sized nobles, close to the chief priests, and there were more than a dozen slaves in their hands, who could not afford to play chariots, but they had iron tools, ploughing oxen, and horses, so they could ride horses and practice martial arts.

Generally speaking, after these people bought the stirrups back from the Xia Kingdom, they found that once they got on the horses and brandished all kinds of weapons, it was easy to bully the slaves or civilians standing on the ground, so they felt that the cavalry was like this.

Let them go and slap those chariots that rush up hundreds of pounds and thousands of pounds, they don't have the courage to do so, but it doesn't seem to be a big problem to attack the infantry on foot.

After two rounds of artillery fire, these small and medium-sized nobles could no longer bear this psychological suppression and launched an attack.

From the spread of chariots in the Great River Tribes ten years ago, the appearance of stirrups and expensive armor seven years ago, and the technological innovation of agriculture that allowed some people to completely take off production to practice the art of killing, a latent psychological advantage was established in the minds of the nobility: I can fight ten, and it is up to me to fight, and the infantry of the clan is only a number, especially on the vast plains along the great rivers.

Controlling their horses and brandishing their weapons, they rushed in a circle from above the left flank of the Xia army, trying to cause chaos on the Xia army's side.

On the left flank of the Xia army, Ji Bai, who was authorized to command the left flank, ordered the three guns to no longer care about the riders on the opposite side, but to aim the guns at the infantry on the opposite side.

Habayashi quickly formed a line in the open space on the left flank, the first row of riders drew their spears, and the back rows drew their bronze swords, waiting for Habayashi to give orders.

"Jogging ......"

After the shouting of a long note, there was a long horn sound, and the soldiers in the front row gently pulled the reins, trying to keep them as level as possible, controlling the war horses under their crotches not to get excited too early, and advancing forward little by little with small steps.

The two sides were already close to about 200 paces, and there were only more than 300 riders on the opposite side, and Yu Linwei was not at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

The speed of the riders on the opposite side was obviously a little reduced, and the riders of Yu Linwei were more at ease, they had already rushed to impact from four hundred steps, and how much impact force did they have when they really ran in front of them?

Lang Jiangping, who was at the far left of the line, held his spear and shouted a few words loudly, many people didn't know it very clearly, but just like usual training, they had already recognized this silent order.

The soldiers in the first row clamped their spears under their armpits, so hard that there was some pain between their armpits and ribs.

As the horse's back rises and falls, many people feel as if they are holding a bark boat in the middle of a river at the autumn season, with the sound of the horse's hooves in their ears.

The best grass underfoot, uncultivated, rolled backwards rapidly, and the flowers, known and unknown, remained in the eye for only a moment, and then were trampled down by the horses' hooves.

The horse's hooves on the far left had fallen into the rabbit hole, and the horse's fragile calves made a crisp noise, perhaps not to have heard such a slight noise in the gallop of the horse, but the people beside him were sure that they heard the horse's painful wail.

A few men looked back, and the horse fell to the ground, trying to get up, and his companion, who had lived with him for seven years, fell heavily to the ground, his neck folded to the side, and his body twitched.

However, it was only a hurried glance back, and there could be no more indication, the sparse war horses on the opposite side were already within thirty paces, and it was only a blink of an eye for the fast-charging cavalry.

The young Yu Linwei, who was the first to stab the enemy with his spear, didn't even have time to see if the person who stabbed him was dead, but he heard the sound of the spear shaft breaking, and he died a little late because of nervousness, and the young man's palm was like being whipped dozens of times by Mr. Xuetang's wooden ruler, and it hurt fiercely.

Throwing away the spear, he drew his bronze sword, which was not too long, and stabbed at the already sparse enemy......

This was the first assault of the stirrup cavalry in this world, just as the well-trained cavalry of the Jin people in the previous life was so much so that many literati were convinced that the cavalry was tied together by ropes, and the first intensive assault of this era produced the same shock.

The hedge of more than 300 people ended the battle almost instantly.

Sixteen of Yu Linwei's side were killed and some were wounded, while the opposite side was rushed out of the first wave with more than ninety casualties.

The soldiers of Yu Linwei mechanically followed the training of the drill code, and then jogged the whole team and then reversed the attack to ensure that it was still a dense rush.

However, when they were ready to turn, they found that the riders on the opposite side had been scattered, no longer had any formation, and fled in all directions, without any organization at all.

The victorious soldiers reminisced about the feeling of the first killing, and felt that it was no more than that, and then quickly advanced to the edge of the battlefield to the sound of the horns, expelling the scattered enemy riders.

At the same time, the drums of the march sounded behind them, and the entire left flank of the Xia army of a thousand people under the command of Ji Bai marched towards the advancing army, and the artillery continued to fire to disrupt the opposing formation.

The sound of neat footsteps seemed to announce the beginning of the decisive battle, and the black-clad guards dismounted, leaving a few men to guard the horses, holding shields in a dense formation.

Without the threat of cavalry, Ji Bai could safely place the black-clothed guard on the edge of the left flank, while the Yulin guard in the distance had already begun to regroup and continue to move towards the rear of the right flank of the Sudake coalition army.

…………

At the other end of the battlefield, Su Yue and the others were experiencing the biggest shock of this battle.

They had heard that there was something called artillery in the Xia army, and they had also seen that the artillery would tear apart their own military formations where the feather arrows could not reach them, and the bloody scene of three or five people being hit by iron pellets caused the instability of their own infantry.

But this is all bearable, at least the army is not completely divided, and there are soldiers next to them to fill those gaps, and then stab a few infantry who retreat and flee with their swords can always be stabilized.

However, the cavalry hedge shocked the entire Suyue army, and the loss of cavalry meant that his right flank needed longer, wider and more people to prevent those Yulin guards from rushing from the right flank to seize the opportunity.

The previous hedging was even more shocking, there were obviously the same number of people on both sides, they both had stirrups, and they had learned to ride horses for six or seven years, but the kind of shock caused by the impact like a wave and a wall was completely different.

Instantly crossed, and then the cavalry of your own side was scattered, and this high-speed impact was no less shocking than that of a chariot, and even had more terrifying mobility and secondary impact than a chariot.

Three hundred cavalry can do what a thousand infantry can't do.

These three hundred forest guards controlled the flanks, which meant that a thousand soldiers were needed to pile up on the flank embankment, a group of cavalry that could rush into the rear of the flank at any time.

Coupled with the continuous artillery bombardment, the Suyue coalition army, which was not the main force on the flank, had a tendency to waver, and the originally straight battle line appeared in an arc on the right flank, and the person in charge made a correct move, allowing the soldiers to continue to strengthen the right flank, move closer to the direction of the Chinese army, and no longer dare to advance rashly.

When the drum on the opposite side sounded, Su Yue looked at the black-clothed guard flag fluttering in the extreme distance, and clenched his fists.

"That's the Black Guards and the Feather Forest Guards?"

"Well, you know the black-clothed guard, the first batch of soldiers who followed Ji Xia's campaign had a figure like Ji Bai. Yu Linwei is the cavalry of the Xia Kingdom, some of them are orphans after their father died in battle, the other part is the original black-clothed guard, and some of them are the riders recruited from Yangguan. ”

Su Yue said angrily: "The strength of the battle is unprecedented, no less than the chariot rushing into battle." This is the elite that Ji Xia relied on to win. ”

"Now the cannon is on the left flank, and Yulin and the black-clothed guards are also on the left flank, which is clear."

He smiled and asked his son beside him, Su Tang recalled what he learned in the academy, and said: "It should be like this, Ji Xia wants to rely on Yulin, the two guards in black, plus those cannons, to crush our right wing first." His Chinese army did not move at this time, and the right flank was arranged backwards, once we rushed their right flank, the Xia army could turn to the dead and delay our attack. ”

Su Yue nodded, and the allies beside him also agreed with this opinion.

In their opinion, the people of Xia are very stupid in fighting, and they have always fought more and less in a certain position, and then relied on other places to defend and slowly roll over with more and less places. There is never a heroic impact on the whole line, nor the momentum of winning on the whole line, which is quite dull and boring.

Su Yue pointed to his chariot and the Yu Linwei and black-clothed guards of the Xia army in the distance, and said: "To fight a war, you still have to rely on these things, and the foot soldier with the spear will never be the one who decides the outcome of the war." Now that the main forces of the Xia army are concentrated on the left flank, Ji Xia thinks that the infantry he trained can block the impact of the chariots, but it is necessary to see whether our right flank collapses first, or our chariots break through their infantry first. ”

The crowd asked, "Then arrange a chariot shock?" ”

"Don't worry, the infantry of the Xia Kingdom is still okay, and besides, it's too far away now. What if Ji Xia just tricked us? Once we let the chariot attack too early, Ji Xia can now completely resist on the left flank and mobilize those people to support the direction of the chariot impact. ”

"Before the battle, you saw that the infantry of the Xia Kingdom moved very fast, and the formation was much faster than ours. Wait, wait for our right side to fight. ”

"Order, let our left march slowly, and wait for my order to drag the right flank of the Xia army, so that he has no troops to adjust. Transfer all Dongyi's archers to the right flank, and then transfer some people to the right flank. ”

"Isn't Ji Xia ready to break our right flank? Then let the fight there be more intense, fight until they are tired and can't rush in, hit our left flank and their right flank to fight too, so that the whole army of the Xia army will attack again when it is difficult to maintain the movement in the battle and the military order is not smooth, and break the Xia army in one fell swoop. ”

"Ji Xia always wins battles, so that now he is so arrogant and arrogant, not defending first but attacking first, those who don't know think that he has ten thousand people and we only have four or five thousand."
