readx; Chongzhen: The latest chapter of the re-enlistment of the world

In the history recorded in the books, after capturing the Jingshi, because Wu Sangui, who held the border army in eastern Liao, refused to surrender, he personally led hundreds of thousands of troops to crusade against Wu Sangui. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoPlease read the most complete! Unexpectedly, Wu Sangui did not surrender Li Zicheng, but shamelessly surrendered the Manchu Qing, when Li Zicheng's Dashun army and Wu Sangui's Liaodong border army were fighting fiercely, the Eight Banners Army suddenly appeared on the battlefield, using the tactics of fierce attack and rush, and defeated the unprepared and exhausted Dashun army in one fell swoop. Since then, the peasant armies of all walks of life have been slumped, defeated and retreated, and were wiped out by the Qing army.

After the hatred is not not the same as the Fang Ship Technique by Yang Tong Du Ghost

Therefore, in that period of history, the peasant army, that is, the rogue thieves, did not experience the true power of the cavalry outside the Cyprus. In today's Battle of Yizhen, Cao Wenzhao copied the "kite-flying" tactics of the Mongol and Manchu cavalry, and the troops of the Xu Chang unfortunately became the first victims.

In fact, this tactic is very simple to say, it is nothing more than that when the enemy cavalry attacks, our cavalry retreats in an orderly manner, and shoots the enemy with arrows while retreating; When the enemy stops attacking, we continue to harass with bows and arrows from a distance; When the enemy retreated, we turned to pursuit. Although it is simple, it is implicitly in line with the old man's "the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and I disturb, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase".

But in order to really use this tactic, demanding conditions must be met. First of all, the war horse must be good, it must be able to withstand long and repeated runs, and it must be faster than the enemy, otherwise this tactic cannot be implemented. This alone doomed the cavalry in the Central Plains region to not be able to use this tactic in the past, because the Central Plains was not a production area for war horses, and artificially fed horses could not compete with horses outside the Saiwai in terms of speed and endurance.

Second, the cavalry should be well-trained. It is necessary to have superb riding skills, otherwise it is impossible to maintain an orderly formation in the process of retreat or pursuit; You also need to have strong physical strength to be able to keep firing the bow and arrows; The most important point is to have extremely strong self-confidence and strict military discipline, and even if the enemy's strength is dozens of times that of its own, it is always determined to completely annihilate the enemy's army, and will never give up until the goal is achieved.

The enemy is not hateful, and Dusun Cha receives Yangtai's ball love

The enemy does not hate Yuan, and Dusun Cha is the second in Yangtai's ball, and the cavalry must be well-trained. It is necessary to have superb riding skills, otherwise it is impossible to maintain an orderly formation in the process of retreat or pursuit; You also need to have strong physical strength to be able to keep firing the bow and arrows; The most important point is to have extremely strong self-confidence and strict military discipline, and even if the enemy's strength is dozens of times that of its own, it is always determined to completely annihilate the enemy's army, and will never give up until the goal is achieved.

The third point is also important, that is, the terrain must be flat and flat, preferably in the vast grassland, which is conducive to the maneuver of the cavalry. This tactic is difficult to implement if the terrain is rough or the rivers and lakes are dense. At that time, the Mongol cavalry swept across the Eurasian continent with only a few tens of thousands of troops, and the same army attacked the Southern Song Dynasty in a few decades, and the Japanese attack on Annam failed miserably.

However, this battle of Yizhen happened to meet all three conditions. The war horses are all a mixture of the Western Regions sweat and blood horses and Mongolian horses, with good speed and endurance, otherwise it is impossible to bear heavy armor. The thieves' horses are uneven, many of them are stagecoaches or horses that plough the land, and even many are mules, and there is a fatal gap in this link.

Far away is reluctant, Sun Chamo is cold

Not to mention the gap in training, the soldiers of the Guanning Iron Cavalry have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and they have been training cavalry for five or six years alone; And the thieves are nothing more than a rabble, and it would be nice to be able to ride on a horse without falling.

The third condition was originally not satisfied, because Yizhen was located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, although it was an alluvial plain, but the territory was densely covered with rivers, which was not conducive to large-scale cavalry maneuvers. But now it is a cold winter, and the small rivers are all frozen, and the war horses can wade through the ice. Guanning Tieqi was originally from Liaodong, and naturally adapted to the ice and snow environment, and there were short nails nailed to the horse's shoes to grip the ground, so as not to slip on the ice.

So from the start, the battle was one-sided. At first, the thieves also rushed towards the Guanning Iron Cavalry in three directions, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry immediately began to retreat, and maintained the same speed as the thieves, and the distance remained at about eighty paces. At the same time, unleash a salvo at the rogue thieves in perfect rhythm without stopping.

Because of the lack of heavy armor and heavy weapons, the number of arrows carried by the Guanning Iron Cavalry has greatly increased. Each horse carried two quivers, each containing eighty arrows; The cavalry also carried a quiver on their backs, which contained forty arrows, for a total of two hundred.

Sun Ke does not hate the complex, hates Mo Leng

The weight of an arrow is ten deniers, which is one tael. This weight is repeatedly groped out from actual combat, and Mao Yuanyi's "Wubei Zhi" quotes the records of predecessors: "The weight of the arrow shall not exceed three coins, and the weight of the arrow shall not exceed ten coins." If the bow is heavy, the bow is soft, and it is not far from the ground; If the arrow is heavy, the bow is hard, and the middle armor is inaccessible. At that time, the Ming army's armament was lax, the equipment was chaotic, and the bows and arrows were not in compliance. Fortunately, after Wang Zaijin arrived in Nanjing, he specially made a batch of arrows for the Guanning Iron Cavalry, which basically met the standards.

Sixteen taels is one catty, and two hundred arrows weigh more than twelve catties in total, which is certainly not a problem for Guanning Tieqi war horses, who are accustomed to carrying heavy loads. At this time, the cavalry all used only their legs to control the horse, the left hand led the bow, the right hand held the arrow, after the broken Cao Bianjiao shouted "open", then the bow was like a full moon, pointing obliquely to the sky; With another shout of "after", a thousand warriors turned in unison to the rear; In the end, with a loud shout of "release", thousands of sharp arrows left the string at the same time, weaving a dense network of arrows, and headed towards the thief.

The thieves did not know how powerful they were at this time, and they still charged in a dense formation of cavalry against infantry. This arrow net came down, and it happened to lock within a radius of six zhang from the forward of the middle cavalry, and the arrows fell like rain in an instant.

This is not a blindfold, but the result of the strict training of Guan Ning Iron Cavalry. The 1,000 cavalry were retreating, but they were still in a neat row, and each row and column had different rules on how high and how hard the arms of the men could be raised, so as to ensure that all the arrows were fired into a smaller area. This range was controlled by the broken Cao Bianjiao through the timing of the order, and the main general Cao Wenzhao was at the forefront of the whole army to control the overall situation.

The knot is not far away, and the enemy is not reluctant to learn from Moyang

Because of the lack of heavy armor and heavy weapons, the number of arrows carried by Guanning Iron Cavalry has greatly increased. Each horse carried two quivers, each containing eighty arrows; The cavalry also carried a quiver on their backs, which contained forty arrows, for a total of two hundred.

In such a small area, how can the rogue cavalry be crowded with men and horses? Moreover, Guan Ning's iron cavalry is retreating, and the thieves are chasing, for the thieves, it is like hitting the rain of arrows head-on. The soldiers of the Guanning Iron Cavalry are already strong, and the arrow is very strong, coupled with the momentum of the collision, can the thieves have a good one? Not to mention that they don't have any decent armor, even if they have thin iron armor, sharp arrows can still penetrate it.

In an instant, the screams were stacked, and dozens of cavalrymen covered by a thousand sharp arrows were immediately wiped out, with as few as one or two arrows, and as many as seven or eight arrows, all of them fell to the ground with their horses, and a hole immediately appeared in the rogue array. The cavalry behind couldn't dodge, some were tripped and fell to the ground, and some had to step on their horses.

The thieves in the middle lane were slow, and the thieves on the left and right wings burst out. And after a volley of Guanning Iron Cavalry, he didn't pause, Cao Bianjiao shouted "open" again, and the soldiers drew arrows and bows and pointed obliquely to the sky, and the action was done in one go, without dragging mud and water; The second command was changed to "Left Rear", and the soldiers turned again, also to face the enemy in the left rear; As soon as the word "put" came out, the second round of arrow rain hit again!
