Chapter 440: The Mongolian cavalry flies a kite
?? U?$?? l? (?47?? G/?? x?? f/?? P? ? U?"? G???5Hm$?n2?&?? Extremely frightened, the pain on his back, and the words of the soldiers, where did he not believe what Li Yuanfang said at the moment. The Han people really know how to do magic www.biquge.info Li Yuanfang sat on the horse and didn't move, I was almost killed by him when I was a foot away.
Kublai turned his head to look at Li Yuanfang, who was holding a chain knife, and in the distance, a majestic white horse in white armor. Immediately he took the horse of one of the soldiers, turned over and rode away to the main formation.
At this moment, Kublai had only one thought in his heart: "The Han is too terrifying, I'd better go back to Mongolia."
I have to say that Li Yuanfang's strategy was indeed successful, like a fierce man with low intelligence in Kublai Lai, with a strong heart, but once he was defeated by ordinary people, he planted the seeds of fear in him at the moment when he doubted his strength, and he was vulnerable again. At this time, Kublai was like crazy, even if Temujin himself came to him and told him that everything was fake, he would not believe it.
The only way to restore him to normal is to break Li Yuanfang's lies. That is to fight with the White Horse Yicong here, proving that not all of the White Horse Yicong are fierce generals, and the lie will be self-defeating. But Kublai only wants to go back to Guzang and Mongolia at the moment, and he doesn't want to stay here for a moment.
Kublai was defeated and returned to his own battle, on the other hand, Jebe was also injured by Zhao Yun in order to save him, seeing Zhao Yun rushing over violently, Jebe was afraid of Zhao Yun's bravery, and also pulled his horse and fled.
Kublai and Jebel arrived in the formation after the two feet of the two feet, and Jebe saw Kublai with a frightened face, and remembered that he was being chased by Li Yuanfang, so he was angry. Jebe grabbed Kublai by the chest and scolded, "What are you doing? As the main general, why did he attack in person? Since you attack, why bother not even being able to beat a pawn! ”
"Don't blame me, don't blame me, they are all fierce generals, yes, they can also spell, I want to go back, I want to go back to Mongolia!" Kublai looked frightened, and Rao was also in a very abnormal mood under the pressure of Zhebei, and quickly climbed on a horse and headed northwest.
"This shit!" Jebe looked at Kublai who fled north at great speed, and cursed in a low voice. A general can't beat a small soldier, so that's it, and he was mentally disturbed by a small soldier, and a good four-fierce general is afraid that it will be wasted. Thinking of this, Jebel scolded in a low voice again: "It's really a hell!"
Suddenly, Zhebei's face sank, and he looked at the cavalry opposite, only to see Zhao Yun and Li Yuanfang returning to the formation one after another, shouting loudly in the face of this cavalry, it seemed that he was announcing the battle plan and planning to charge the battle with cavalry.
Seeing this, Jebe sneered: "You Han people have a lot of fierce generals, is it difficult, the cavalry that has only been in the army for a few years wants to compete with my Mongolian cavalry?"
"Kublai is incompetent, now I command you, and you must obey my orders!" Turning to look at the cavalry general behind him, Jebe shouted in a deep voice.
"Respect the general's orders!" The riders behind Jebel responded. In the army, Jebe was higher than Kublai in terms of status and ability, and his archery skills were even more impressive to countless grassland boys. Although the commander Kublai fled, it was not a big blow to the morale of this cavalry.
Jebe easily took command of this cavalry.
Looking at the cavalry on the opposite side galloping towards him, about 3,000 horsemen were in the middle army, and the left and right wings on both sides were white horses, Jebe frowned and said: "Five thousand cavalry, where are the three thousand?" Hmph, no matter what you do, since you dare to fight with my cavalry, you will have no return! ”
Zhebei glanced at Ma Chao Zhao Yun's cavalry, his eyes were full of disdain, in his opinion, the cavalry was not used like this. After learning about Ma Chao Zhao Yun's cavalry, Jebe gave an order to his own cavalry, pointed to a cavalry general and said: "The javelin is extremely powerful, you lead five hundred heavy cavalry to the front five miles to meet the enemy, and the rest of the cavalry slowly retreats and shoots at the enemy!"
As soon as Jebel struck, the Mongol cavalry under his command moved, turning their horses' heads one after another, and first the five hundred heavy cavalry quickly retreated northward, rushing to the front to meet the enemy.
The remaining 4,500 cavalry were all light cavalry, and the Mongolian light cavalry was actually not good at fighting, and cavalry combat. The light cavalry had no armor, and it was quite a loss to charge and fight. The Mongol hussars fought by virtue of their speed, raiding, scouting!
The weapon of the Mongolian hussars, it was an arrow!
The Han cavalry mostly rushed to kill in formation, because they needed training, and it was difficult for the cavalry to form an army, and in just a few years, whether it was a single fight, the cavalry on the horse was not as good as the cavalry on the grassland. Therefore, the combat method of the cavalry in the Central Plains is very different from that of other races. Only by fighting in a position can we exert the greatest power.
The steppe Mongolian cavalry has superb riding and archery skills on the horse, and can fight back in the process of retreating, while retreating, the ability to release arrows at the enemy behind them is not something that ordinary cavalry of the Han Dynasty can do.
Hussars come and go like the wind, they can carry out the tasks of raiding, luring the enemy, reconnaissance and unscathed. Because once the enemy is in pursuit, they can retreat very quickly and shoot the enemy in the process of retreating. If the enemy is in hot pursuit, he may not be able to catch up, not to mention heavy losses.
This tactic is known as the Mangu tactic, in which he can attack the enemy from a distance, continue to attack the enemy, and do not give the enemy a chance to fight back. This tactic can also be called kite flying.
Jebe now wants to use this kite-flying tactic, first pretending not to dare to confront the javelin cavalry head-on, pretending to retreat to avoid their edge. lured Zhao Yun and Ma Chao's cavalry to pursue, and then shot back with bows and arrows in the process of retreating, bullying Ma Chao and Zhao Yun's cavalry for their weakness in being less mobile than their own cavalry.
After pursuing for a period of time, with bows and arrows, Ma Chao Zhao Yun's cavalry formation must be chaotic. Jebe arranged for five hundred heavy cavalry to wait five miles ahead. When Ma Chao and Zhao Yun pursue at this time, with the impact of heavy cavalry, they will inevitably be able to defeat Ma Chao Zhao Yun.
It's just that Jebel ignores one thing, that is, the difference between the white horse and the subordinate, compared to the light archers under his command, the white horse is between the light cavalry and the heavy infantry, which can be said to be both.
Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Yicong can be said to be a pure light bow cavalry, exactly the same as this cavalry under Jebe, and can also retreat and shoot, in the grassland tribes have not yet been unified, when the formation of a powerful cavalry corps, the White Horse Yicong can indeed be said to dominate the world.
However, the white horse Yicong formed by Liu Wei not only practiced the bow and arrow skills of Gongsun Zhan Baima Yicong, but also practiced the impact skills of heavy cavalry and the ability to fight in a gun formation.
And unlike the cavalry under Jebe, the white horse is also equipped with battle armor. In order to ensure the speed of coming and going, most of the light cavalry were only equipped with helmets, or ordinary cloth armor. is not even worthy of armor, but the white horse Yicong is equipped with leather armor, three thousand people and three thousand leather armor, one is not less.
The preciousness of the battle armor, needless to say, is very rare in iron armor, followed by leather armor, and cloth armor is secondary. And the white horse Yicong was armed with a spear and dressed in cloth armor, although the war horse was not armored, but it mistakenly made Jebel think that it was a heavy cavalry.
It's a pity that Zhebei is wrong, Bai Ma Yi is carefully selected from the white horse, endurance, and physical strength are also far from the top, although he is equipped with spears and leather armor, but Bai Ma Yi has horse pedals. With the help of horse pedals, the speed of the white horse is not much inferior to that of the cavalry of Zhebe.
In addition, in the process of releasing arrows, Jebe's archers will slow down their retreat speed, and when they release their arrows immediately, the power of their horse bows will be much lower than that of foot bows, and their power will be even lower when they shoot in retreat. White Horse Yicong was wearing leather armor again, and this kite flying tactic actually did not have many casualties to White Horse Yicong.
The Mongol cavalry was invincible and invincible with this tactic, and perhaps the same was true in the face of other cavalry in the Central Plains, even the Ma cavalry could not compete. But it is useless to be alone against the white horse.
Liu Wei, the founder of the White Horse Yicong, didn't know, and its commander Zhao Yun didn't know that their mixed training, which cost countless money, was really to train a powerful cavalry that had always had both light and heavy cavalry advantages.
White Horse Yi fought the alien race from the first time, they didn't know that as long as they resisted the little casualties caused by the Mongolian cavalry's kite flying tactics, and rushed forward brutally, what awaited them would be a big victory.
However, whether it is Zhao Yun or Ma Chao, they do not have much experience in leading cavalry battles at present, and they are in the interior of the Han Dynasty, and they do not have much time to contact cavalry.
The Mongols grew up on horseback in the steppes, and Temujin spent many years on the expedition and mastered many new ways of riding on horsemen. But the cavalry in the interior of the Han Dynasty fought in most of the ages.
The times are advancing, and the cavalry also needs to grow, and after experiencing the baptism of war, they can become stronger, and Ma Chao and Zhao Yun can truly grow into a qualified cavalry commander.
Therefore, when the cavalry was about to face off at this time, Zhao Yun Ma Chao had a total of 5,000 cavalry, and Ma Chao had 3,000 javelin cavalry in the Chinese army, one holding a javelin and the other holding a wooden shield. And Zhao Yun's white horse is armed with bows and arrows on the left and right.
Their plan was to use the huge lethality of the javelin as the main force, and shoot a few rounds to defeat them, and then Bai Ma Yi attacked with arrows from both wings, and responded with bows and arrows. When the enemy army was in a rout, the two armies combined their horses and rushed over.
This is the method that Zhao Yun and Ma Chao pondered when they came, and they were worried about being defeated. Zhao Yun also made 1,000 white horse Yicong and 2,000 horse cavalry ambush in the rear under the leadership of Pang De and Xiahou Lan. It can be said that a few people are not cautious, but Jebel is not a mediocre talent, he knows the power of the javelin cavalry, so he will plan it, pretend to be defeated and shoot back with bows and arrows, and also set up an ambush of heavy cavalry in the rear.
Sure enough, when Zhao Yunma Chao set up a formation and rushed over, Jebe's cavalry was also ready to retreat. On the side of the Han army, Ma Chao's javelin cavalry was in front, and from a distance, one by one they were holding javelins and rushing towards the Mongolian cavalry.
The strength of the javelin cavalry lies in its high lethality and denseness, except for the scattered cavalry, there is only to avoid its edge. When the javelinmen rushed to a distance of about fifty zhang from the Mongol cavalry, Jebe ordered to pull out his horse and retreat in advance. On the huge battlefield, from west to east, the Mongol cavalry quickly turned their horses.
"Projection!" Behind him, Ma Chao led three thousand javelin cavalry to reach the attack range, and Ma Chao gave an order, and three thousand javelins were immediately thrown out.
The thick javelins roared to the place where the Mongol cavalry was, but at this moment, the javelins were about to shoot into the camp of the Mongol cavalry. The Mongol cavalry, however, turned their horses and galloped northwest. Without any sense of stagnation, the javelin fired, and the Mongol cavalry turned and left, which shows that Jebe was accurate in time. (To be continued.) )
