The cavalry battle in the era of cold weapons did not want to be as imagined by later generations, and the two sides rode horses with weapons and pounced directly on them. ----- it was not cavalry, but infantry on horseback. ----- fact, there is a lot of attention to the tactics of cavalry. Pay attention to what kind of long- and short-range weapons should be used in the hands of the cavalry, what kind of armor should be worn on the body, how to master the rhythm of the attack, and when to store horsepower.

Different points of attention are attached, and the tactics of war are also different.

But it probably boils down to nothing more than that when the cavalry of both sides fights, they will choose the slope of the enemy army, and exploit it layer by layer like peeling an onion, until one side can no longer bear the collapse and straighten.

The worst option is for the two sides to go straight to each other, and the end result is that the soldiers on both sides get mixed up, and then everyone loses their mobility, sits on the back of a stationary horse, and beckons each other with weapons on the head, which has become a white-knuckle battle like a street group fight with no technical content.

And the casualty ratio of the two sides in white-knuckle warfare is generally about one to one if one side does not have a great advantage in equipment, no matter how hard your soldiers train on weekdays and how strong their combat effectiveness is, they are useless in this kind of life-for-life fight.

In the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in the post-world world, the individual combat skills of Japanese soldiers were first-class

。

When encountering old devils, every time they fight, the Eighth Route Army has to pay a great price. But with the main force of the Eighth Route Army, or even a county-to-district team, the devils still have to pay a lot of price.

Although "Bright Sword" is a book, most of the stories in it have real battle examples. There is a passage in the book that says that the Eighth Route Army was ambushed on the side of the road and fought with the Japanese army, and the final result was that the devils were wiped out, and the Eighth Route was almost disabled.

This kind of white-knuckle warfare can only take place in the period of modern national warfare, and in ancient times, more than twenty percent of casualties were enough for a troop to drop its morale to zero and completely collapse.

Therefore, cavalry battles in ancient China were mostly skillful, and more often than not, they were only used to intimidate and shake the enemy's position, and to pursue the defeated enemy after the battle.

Like Li Zicheng, who was stunned and ran headlong into a situation where he wanted to turn a cavalry battle into a white-knuckle battle, Guan Ningjun had never encountered it, and he was immediately caught off guard.

"Boom!" It was as if two torrents were pouring down and the human body was knocked high and then fell heavily into the river, and the fallen knight had no chance to stand up.

The weapon slashed into the iron armor, making a frustrating sound, and a row of feathered arrows shot out, only the sky was full of blood, but no one let out a scream, and everyone was fighting with their heads in a sullen manner.

Two horsemen cut off their sabers and at the same time stretched out their hands and pulled them, rolling off their horses. You Zizi tore and beat in the water.

The long knife in Li Zicheng's hand broke through two iron armors in a row, and it was already full of gaps and could not be used. He let out a long roar, threw away the knife, took a sledgehammer handed over by his own soldiers, and slammed it on the chest of a Guanning cavalryman: "I have no way back, kill it, kill it!" ”

The soldier's chest was visibly sunken, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood, and swayed on his horse, running out for more than ten paces before he collapsed.

The two armies only met each other, and each paid the price of 300 men, so it can be said that neither of them was favored. On the battlefield, in Chushui, there are ownerless war horses running and neighing everywhere. As time went on, more tragic casualties continued.

In the water, the corpses of people and horses were loaded and floated, and the trickle of water had burned red, become viscous, and flowed downward.

The dry riverbed was littered with layers of corpses, all of which were trampled into strange shapes by horses' hooves

。

The battle of 5,000 cavalry was unprecedented in this world.

In the distance, Liaodong was a general, Zu Kuan looked at this tragic battlefield blankly, and his heart was in a trance. He hadn't experienced such a battle in many years. In the past year, he has fought with Lu Xiangsheng four times, and the battle can be described as easy and happy. Anyway, the thief army was just a rabble of barefoot peasants, and as soon as the fight began, everyone rode their horses and rushed, and those anti-thieves dispersed. Then, it's the pursuit, the pursuit, the non-stop pursuit. Slice a lone enemy in the back of your ass.

A bloody battle like the one in front of him could not happen at all, and he didn't think that there was anyone in this world who would dare to compete face-to-face with the famous Guanning Iron Cavalry. Except, of course, Jiannu, who is a group of demons who can no longer be called human.

But today, the thief army suddenly sent a cavalry, and chose this clumsy way to fight with me.

Are they fools, one for one, moths to the fire, to the end, our army is certainly broken, don't they also want to be wiped out?

"Generals, generals, and thieves are all dying, and the soldiers are dying so miserably!" An officer cried out, "Are you going to think of an idea?" ”

"When did this thief have cavalry, and he was still so fierce?" Other generals were also chanting.

Unlike Fan Jingwen, who was hesitant on the battlefield and only knew how to turn the book, Zu Kuan was an old man on the battlefield. Hearing his subordinates crying, he took a deep breath and shouted, "What's the panic, there are more soldiers and horses than thieves, and the equipment is good." The thieves want to fight with us, it's very good, and we will accompany them to the end, and see who has the most people left in the end. ”

"Ah, Dashuai, no, you can't fight like this! If we continue to fight, our Guanning Iron Cavalry will be scrapped. ”

"Why can't you fight like this?" Zu Kuan sneered: "If you guess correctly, this must be the elite of the thieves' elite, as long as we fight this team of cavalry, the thieves will be cut off by me." Everyone, the opportunity to kill the enemy and serve the country has arrived, and the opportunity to annihilate the main force of the thief army has arrived. Even if a few troops are crippled and destroyed, what is it? ”

"Marshal, the annual military salary of the imperial court is just that, one point for each family, and there is not much in hand. Our cavalry is a penny of your teeth and a penny, a horse, a saddle bridle, it took many years to accumulate the housekeeping capital, this battle is fought, it is good to have a thousand men and horses left. Another officer cried: "You don't know about the dogskin of our Liaodong Jiangmen, without soldiers, how can I gain a foothold in the future, but no one has the kindness to fill the gap for us."

。 ”

"Yes, think twice. We've been with your old subordinates for many years, can you bear to be beaten into a bare pole and have no good end in the future? ”

"There will be more opportunities to destroy the enemy in the future, and there is no need to be busy for a while. Without our Guan Ning Army, wouldn't there be the Tianxiong Army? ”

Seeing that all the generals had already retired, and they wanted to preserve their strength, Zu Kuan was even more angry in his heart, and shouted: "Look at you, look at you, what have you become now, do you still have even a trace of courage to fight?" The Tianxiong Army, the Tianxiong Army, and Lord Lu are all foot soldiers, have you ever thought about it, if you let this team of thief cavalry go, what will be the consequences? ”

A general muttered: "Isn't the Tianxiong Army the first in the world in terms of bows and crossbows, and they are still afraid of thieves and cavalry charging into battle?" ”

Someone else continued: "We have made such a big effort in the past year, but the court has only sent out a lot of silver." In my opinion, it is better to stay in Liaoxi, do nothing, and give more money from the Ministry of War. This time we sent troops, and the last person to gain fame was Lu Xiangsheng, not only did we not take advantage of it at all, but we wiped out the troops, and after we went back, we really couldn't raise our heads in front of our colleagues. Dashuai, think twice, is this kind of thing really worth doing? ”

"That's it, Marshal, cavalry training is not easy, and it is not good to train hard in a few years. And it's a money-eating thing, if the army is exhausted, can the country still give us so much money to form a new army? ”

"Dashuai, think twice!"

Seeing that everyone was in a hurry, Zu Kuan suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in his heart. Yes, the country's finances seem to have completely collapsed, and this time the emperor paid out of his own pocket for the thieves. If all the troops were to be lost here, the cavalry would probably never be able to rebuild.

The senior military attache who can do his position, his words and deeds represent the Liaoxi generals who surround him. Everything should be in the first place in the interests of this group. If it were based on personal likes and dislikes, he would not have been able to get to where he is today.

Zu Kuan shook his gray head: "However, if the army suffers an unprecedented defeat because of our retreat, what face does my Zu Kuan have to go to see the monarch's father and to see Inspector Lu?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone pointed to the distance and exclaimed: "Dashuai, look over there...... Over there...... The Nanjing army collapsed......"

Zu Kuan and the others turned their heads at the same time.

The field is open, and the terrain of this place is high, and as far as the eye can see, there is an unobstructed view of the twenty miles downstream of Chushui

。

However, I saw that countless black smoke columns rose from the old camp of the Nanjing Army, and the Nanjing Guards, which were densely packed like ants, retreated from the front line in a hurry and ran towards the east bank of the river desperately.

"Fan Jingwen is defeated......"

"Defeated, defeated, the old camp of the Chinese army has fallen, what kind of hell are we fighting here, even if this battle is lost, there are people who carry the black pot. Marshal, let's go! ”

In an instant, Zu Kuan found that all the generals had a relieved smile on their faces.

After losing the battle, they are still laughing, what is so funny?

"Dashuai, the thieves' offensive is too fierce, we can't make senseless sacrifices here, let's go quickly, everything you do is for our Guan Ning Army!"

"Guan Ning Army, Guan Ning Army!" Suddenly, Zu Kuan laughed: "When Wang Huazhen was in Liaodong, Jiannu entered the Kou, and we didn't fire an arrow, and we threw Liaodong to the enemy. At that time, you kept saying that it was for our Guan Ning Army; Now, it is said that it is for our Guan Ning Army. Giggles, what is the value of the Guan Ning army, which does not dare to meet the enemy, and what is the meaning of a bird? Inspector Lu, Zu Kuan has failed you. ”

As he spoke, a tear came out of his eyes: "Go, retreat!" ”

With a roar, the Guanning Iron Cavalry, who had just been in a group with the cavalry of the camp, suddenly dispersed.

The war horse under Li Zicheng's seat screamed sadly, and fell into the river with a bang, splashing a wave of blood.

The war horse was hit by more than a dozen arrows, and finally couldn't hold it anymore.

Li Zicheng sat in the blood of the condensed people, and gulped out white gas: "Gao Yigong, how many people are left in our army?" ”

"There's still a little over a thousand left."

"Kill, kill the old camp of the Tianxiong Army, and capture King Lu Yan alive."

"There is a shortage of horses."

Li Zicheng used his strength and jumped on an ownerless war horse: "I broke into the camp with one person and two horses, don't worry about the horsepower, and don't worry about it, the officers and soldiers have collapsed, and victory is just around the corner." ”
