The remaining white-robed soldiers, embarrassed by these beasts under their crotches, were now busy pacifying the war horses fifty paces away.
The opportunity is here!
Yang Husheng decisively ordered: "Brothers, form a half-moon formation!" Follow Lao Tzu and kill the past! ”
"Kill!" The dragoons had already killed red-eyed and killed many enemies, but none of them were killed in close combat, and there was a feeling that they were hitting the cotton with their fists, which was very unpleasant. Their killing** has accumulated to a critical point, and they desperately need to vent!
Eleven people shouted loudly, and the murderous aura soared into the sky, they inserted the Five Thunder God Machine into the pocket of their waists, pulled out their long saber with their backhands, and galloped forward with their horses, preparing for a melee battle with the white-robed army.
Being able to fight from afar, stronger in close combat, good psychological quality, and strong business skills is the source of confidence for the Dragoons!
After charging ten steps, a half-moon formation had been formed.
The half-moon array is one of the most commonly used battle formations in the early Ming Dynasty, and its original appearance is a large-scale battle array combining infantry and horsemanship. A standard half-moon battle formation, with at least 20,000 infantry in the middle part, should form a thick central army. In the battlefield of the Cold Weapon Age, compared with the cavalry, the infantry is an out-and-out weakling, and arranging them in the middle army not only has the role of protecting the infantry, but also can use the thick infantry defense line to drag the enemy's high-speed cavalry, thereby delaying the opponent's attack. After the weaker infantry, there are elite hoplites or heavy cavalry, which is the effect of pressing the formation. The light cavalry, which has the strongest ability to move and has the best mobile surname, is placed on the flanks.
In the early years of the dynasty, Emperor Hongwu expelled Meng Yuan, Emperor Yongle made five expeditions to Mobei, and 500,000 troops marched north, most of which were infantry. Assemble the superior infantry into a thick battle formation to offset the cavalry advantage of Meng Yuan.
It was only later that the dynasty gradually declined, emphasizing literature over military force, and military affairs were not prosperous, especially after the civil and engineering changes, the military attache power represented by Xun Qi shrank to an extreme. It is not uncommon for a five-rank military attache to even kneel down when he sees a seven-rank civil official. The status of officers is still so humble, let alone ordinary soldiers, the status is low, the morale is poor, the soldiers lack training, and the quality of the soldiers is extremely low, let alone fighting, it is not good to stand in a line. It is not realistic to expect such soldiers to be able to form a large formation, so many battle formations were useless later.
Since the fiasco of defeat to Duoyan Sanwei under the city of Daning twenty years ago, the Ming Dynasty has finally woken up from the sweet dream of Wen Tian and Wu Huan, drunk and golden. After the emperor made great efforts to rectify the armament, reform the military system, and fly out of the military household system, the combat effectiveness of the army was also greatly increased, and these battle formations were also turned out of the pile of old papers and re-enacted.
Yang Husheng did not have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, but it did not prevent his subordinates from forming a half-moon array. Since the invention of the Half Moon Array, people have made countless changes and modifications to it, and the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty is naturally no exception. In fact, for quite a long time, this large array of infantry and cavalry has become the cavalry battle formation of the nine-sided cavalry. In the regular training of the nine-sided iron cavalry, the half-moon array was evolved into a small cavalry battle array, which was very suitable for small firefights of a dozen or even a few people.
The basic principle of this variant of the half-moon array has not changed compared to the original, it is still in the shape of a crescent moon, slightly thicker in the middle, and lighter on the wings. The small half-moon formation is to use one or several heavy cavalry with large size, great strength, and heavy armor as the backbone in the middle of the road, supplemented by light cavalry with strong mobility on both wings.
This formation can be attacked, retreated, and defended, and is most suitable for cavalry to face more enemies than themselves in high-speed combat. Half-moon array, if it is an attack, the heavy cavalry step forward, the light cavalry on both wings retreat, can be turned into a sharp arrow formation in an instant, with a strong heavy cavalry assault on the enemy formation, crushing the enemy in front. If you are defending, you can also use the heavy cavalry with strong defense as a meat shield to resist the opponent's attack, and the light cavalry on both sides can step forward to cover and kill!
Lian Zining is moving towards the formation of a large-scale cavalry force, after all, in this era when firearms have just emerged and have not yet occupied a dominant position, cavalry is still the most powerful and advantageous army on the battlefield. What's more, isn't it impossible for cavalry to be combined with muskets?
In preparation for a rainy day, after collecting more than 100 war horses everywhere, he half spent a high price, half trusted, and recruited a few cavalry officers from Jizhen through Dai Bingquan, the chief butler of Dai Mansion.
To the north of Jizhen is the territory of Duoyan Sanwei. Duoyan Sanwei are all descendants of Mengyuan at the beginning, skilled in bows and horses, extremely strong in combat effectiveness, there are 50,000 elite horsemen in Jizhen, and it is said that the pillow is waiting for Dan, which is to defend against this great enemy. Duoyan Sanwei Zhengde 30 years from the Ming Dynasty to separate the land, so far it is only 20 years, as we all know, the rise of a nation, is its social transition period, this stage is the fastest development, but also the strongest time of the invasion surname. Duoyan Sanwei tasted a lot of sweetness from Daming, plus Daming blocked it with salt tea, tea bricks, salt, iron pots, silk, porcelain, etc., from supplies to luxury goods, but whatever they wanted, they didn't sell it! Therefore, Duoyan Sanwei plundered from time to time, and the officers and soldiers of Jizhen fought with it almost every day, and their combat effectiveness can be called the top three in the nine sides!
With Dai Zhangpu's current status, Dai Bingquan just let go out, and the commander of Guangningwei in Jizhen sent five instructors over.
These five instructors are all veterans who have been in the army for more than 20 years, and they have extremely rich combat experience. Lian Zining deliberately enveloped them, and his dignified President Wu Yijun was willing to hand them over, plus a lot of silver was sprinkled down, and these veterans quickly became convinced.
The Half Moon Formation was their gift to the Dragoons.
The essence and essence of the Half Moon Array lies in the fact that there must be an arrow figure in the array, and this arrow figure is a sharp knife and a red-hot iron drill. When attacking, take him as the leader and fight into the enemy line. When defending, he must be able to withstand the enemy's attack and fight, so as to create opportunities for the flank robes!
This requires that the arrow figure must meet the conditions of being skilled in archers and horses, having a handful of brute strength, and extremely strong combat effectiveness.
The arrow of Yang Husheng's small flag is Ye Feinan (starred by the book friend 'Night Flying Man').
Ye Feinan, as his name suggests, is fat and strong, and he is extremely tall and fat.
This is a typical Northland man, with big shoulders and a round waist, and a stout body, with a height of more than one meter and nine meters, even among the more prominent Northland men, he can be regarded as standing out from the crowd. His fat is not the kind of fat that is covered in fat, but the kind of fat that is full of muscles and extremely strong.
