Chapter 62: A Little Test (Part II)
Hundreds of cavalry marched together, and the movement was very large, and the smoke and dust could be seen from several kilometers away. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Of course, a distance of a few kilometers is not long for cavalry, and the impact will not be too great. However, a few kilometers of time is enough time for the vast majority of qualified troops to react.
"There's someone over there, everyone prepare!" The Manchu cavalry leader shouted.
More than 200 Manchu cavalry hurriedly mounted their horses and prepared to meet the enemy. The cavalry of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment came to the opposite side of the Manchu cavalry, and stopped just a kilometer away, and the two sides could see each other in this way.
"Zuo Ling, it's a Han horse thief, there are about five hundred of them!" It was said.
The Manchu cavalry leader estimated it and said, "The Han horse thieves are definitely inferior to us in strength." There were two hundred and fifty of us, and according to the historical records of the past, we could have fought three at a time, so this time we won! ”
The commander of the Third Cavalry Regiment was also estimating: "It's only about two hundred and fifty people, not to mention that we are a new type of cavalry, and our combat effectiveness is much stronger than theirs." Not to mention that there are more of us, so it will be easy to eliminate them. ”
Both sides thought that they would inevitably win, and the two sides did not communicate with each other, and directly began to arrange their troops.
The leader of the Eight Banners Cavalry ordered his troops to begin to spread, and they were relatively dispersed like fishing nets, which was a traditional cavalry tactic, and it was also decent, and there was no problem. Because traditional cavalry relies on individual qualities, on the contrary, if they are huddled together, it is difficult to give full play to the advantages of individual qualities, and there is not enough "space" to engage in battles.
However, the commander of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment was the opposite, and the troops began to assemble and divide into three groups, one group of about 150 men, and the three groups were a total of 450 men. The last fifty cavalrymen, as a reserve around the regimental commander.
The two sides did not have any communication, and directly began to charge, not like in many bloody film and television dramas, when the armies of the two sides met, they chirped crookedly and said that they would not fight for a long time.
"First company, rush me!" said the commander of the third regiment of cavalry.
"Those Han people are really stupid, they really don't know how to lead troops. Genghis Khan said that the cavalry should fight separately in twos and threes, and should not be too dense. Infantry and cavalry are different, and the infantry has to form a phalanx to fight. But the cavalry should be relatively dispersed as much as possible, and this group of Han people actually brought the style of infantry to the cavalry, and they are doomed! Brothers of the Eight Banners, rush with me! The leader of the Eight Banners cavalry shouted.
More than 250 cavalry of the Eight Banners began to charge, the distance between the two sides was very close, only about a kilometer, and soon under the mutual charge of the two sides, they began to engage in short combat.
"Kill!" The cavalrymen of the 1st company took their sabers and began to shout.
"Wipe the ...... times"
The sound of knives waving sounded, and the white blades on both sides began to glow coldly under the full light of the sun. Even the blades of both sides slashed towards the enemy, hoping to hack the other to death. However, when it comes to the specific part of the battle, it is different.
"Kill!" The Eight Banners cavalry was ready to swing their swords and slash at a Han cavalryman.
The Han cavalry did not panic, and directly defended with a sword, and did not risk taking the head of the battle, and directly defended it.
"Bell!" The white blades of the two sides intertwined, and there was a sound of metal colliding.
The Eight Banners cavalry was just about to collect his sword for a second attack, when suddenly a knife sneaked up from the side.
"Times!" The saber stabbed him in the abdomen, causing him to vomit blood and fall off his horse to his death.
The defensive cavalryman smiled at his comrade and continued to prepare for the next battle. Of course, this is also a matter of an instant, and it will not take more than a few seconds to happen, and the Eight Banners cavalry could never have dreamed that this group of cavalry actually played the combat style of the infantry.
This Tan Feng's new-style cavalry does not have the behavior of individual heads, Tan Feng calculates the combat exploits collectively when calculating them, and most of the time he will not calculate the combat exploits for individuals individually. Because Tan Feng knows that the modern army attaches importance to the collective, in fact, Tan Feng is very aware of the quality of his own soldiers, in fact, the quality of his soldiers is not the best, in fact, it is worse than the Mongols and Manchus. But why was it possible to defeat them again and again? It does not rely on the quality of soldiers, but on strict discipline and excellent tactics and the non-commissioned officer system.
"What the commander said is really good, if you are attacked by the enemy, do not rashly risk killing the enemy, but should take the initiative to defend. Because when you are defending, your enemies are already old, and your comrades will most likely take advantage of this opportunity to kill the enemy. This kind of coordination tactics is fundamental! Those Han cavalry thought.
These Han people finally realized the excellence of Tan Feng's tactics in large-scale cavalry battles, so that they formed a local formation of fighting more and less, and collectively calculating the merits of the battle, not counting the individual accounting of the merits, which helps to enhance the collective consciousness of the soldiers, so that they will not become scattered in order to snatch the merits.
The two sides fought, and soon the first row of battles also passed.
"How is this possible?" The leader of the Eight Banners cavalry exclaimed.
In the first round of fighting, the Manchu sacrifices were no less than a hundred, and the cavalry of the first company of the third cavalry regiment was only one who fell off his horse and died, and the others were all wounded. This gap is too big.
The commander of the third cavalry regiment hurriedly ordered: "Second company, charge me!" ”
"Rush!" The second company of the second echelon soon began to charge, and they also began the second round of the charge with their sabers, sweeping away those who were not killed by the first company.
"Wipe the ...... times"
After the second company charged and swept away, the losses of those Eight Banners cavalry were almost exhausted, but the third company charged and carried out a thorough sweep. A cavalry leader of 250 men was completely annihilated.
"Regiment commander, we have annihilated the entire leader, except for one of the enemy's leaders' own soldiers who ran away as soon as possible, including the leader, almost all of them have been wiped out!"
The commander of the third cavalry regiment immediately exclaimed: "It's not good, our cavalry tactics can't be saved, I'm afraid we will be cracked and learned by the Manchurians!" ”
When the news that the cavalry with the Manchu Eight Banners had escaped was transmitted to Tan Feng, but Tan Feng still didn't care.
"If you miss one, you will leak, anyway, I am not a single core. Do you really think this tactic is so easy to plagiarize? If it was really so easy to plagiarize, would 'my Qing Dynasty' still be so easy to lose the country, and would it be so easy to be invaded by foreign devils? This tactic is definitely not as simple as it seems! Tan Feng said disdainfully.
