Chapter 154: Stop Them
(Sorry, because of the network problems caused by the heavy rain, I uploaded and played some today, please bear with me.) )
The cavalry of the two teams of full impact, the two lines of dust rolled up, at the moment when the dust fused, there was a "pounding" sound, a huge impact sound, the huge momentum of the horse and the horse hedge, the horses in the front row hit one place, the impact on the rider in the front, the war horse suddenly encountered resistance, the person neighed on the horse, the rider on the back of the horse was lifted off the horse, and flew into the air to the opponent's camp, the moment it fell, the rider who kept the opponent pounced on the horse.
The two armies intersected, and the Red Turban Army relied on the advantage of the weapon chief, holding the hilt of the sword horizontally with both hands, and stabbed the tip of the knife forward, and many enemy soldiers on the horse were pierced through the chest by the sharp blade.
Mengyuan riders, excellent equestrian skills, many riders avoided the spurs of the Miao knife, gave full play to the advantage of the arc of the saber to chop, in the moment of the confrontation, the person could not cut the horse first, and attached to cut the horse legs of the Qingfeng army, to make up for the disadvantage of the short saber, dozens of Qingfeng army's war horses were cut over, the war horses made a miserable sound, the horse lost its front hooves, and the soldiers of the Red Turban Army were lifted off the horse.
The riders on both sides were lifted off their horses, flew into the other army's formation, suffered from each other's knives and stabs, and were trampled by the flying horses, and few of the fallen horses could struggle again.
Even if he was lucky, he landed uninjured and struggled to get up, and in the gap where the horse galloped forward, he was already cut down by the cavalry following behind the opponent.
Just at the moment of the confrontation, three or four hundred people rode the crane to the west. The steppe cavalry has good equestrian skills and a lot of combat experience, and at the moment of the confrontation, the number of dead and wounded on both sides, the Qingfeng army accounted for most of them.
Immediately afterwards, the peaks of the two armies intersected, you have me, I have you, the speed of the horses on both sides slowed down, and there were still riders on horseback, slashing and stabbing each other, and entering the stage of fighting each other with individual soldiers.
Meng Yuan's saber, the palm-wide blade, the half-moon-shaped scimitar with a one-handed handle, the blade is at least half a foot shorter than the long Miao knife of the Qingfeng Army, and in terms of stabbing, it is not as good as the three-finger wide knife of the Miao knife, and the Miao knife also has a slight arc, which is also conducive to chopping, and according to personal strength and habits, both hands and one hand can be.
The two armies fought hand-to-hand, and the length and strength of the Red Turban Army had an advantage!
Especially the armor!
The forward cavalry of Yuekuo Cha'er pays attention to speed and flexibility, and the rider wears three layers of silk clothes inside and cowhide armor outside, which is lighter than the plate armor of the Red Turban Army, but the protective ability is much lower than that of the plate armor, and the sharp sword of the Miao knife of the Red Turban Army can easily pierce and cut the leather armor.
The whole body plate armor of the Qingfeng army is forged by a hydraulic machine tool, and its protective ability is far superior, with the power of a one-handed saber, it is difficult to break the armor whether it is slashing or stabbing.
Tu Danhu stood on the stirrup, holding the Miao knife in both hands, the sword was slightly tilted to the left front, the blade was to the right, and pierced the breastplate of a ten-master on the left.
According to his brother Shan Jun, he can move the angry bull with his bare hands, he lies on the knife with both hands, and his strength is several times that of the one-handed knife, he slashes left and right, as if entering a no-man's land.
On the left side of the three sabers of a rider slashed, he did not dodge, let the saber cut three sparks on his body, he waved both hands, and had already cut off the three riders, all brushes off the back of the horse, the plate armor was not broken, and the single single was unscathed.
A rider on the right swung his knife and slashed, and without waiting for the saber to get close, a thrust stabbed the rider over, and the blade touched to the left, making a large cut in the rider's belly.
The rider's expression twitched, and he dropped his saber, trying to cover the wound and prevent the internal organs from flowing out, but the whole belly, along with the leather armor, was cut in half, and where could he still cover it?
The intestines and internal organs, under the bump of the horse, like a flood that opens the floodgates, flowed out at once, dragged down the horse's back to the ground, and the rider screamed miserably and planted the horse's back.
A commander saw the bravery of Tu Danhu, and a saber in the oblique stab stabbed from the left side, Tu Danhu was concentrating on fighting the rider on the left, and did not pay attention, a sharp saber, under the great thrust, pierced the armor on his back.
The commander of the thousand is not an idle person, his strength is surprisingly large, at least he has to use a spear to test the armor than Zhao Jun, and his strength is much greater, but the blade is only less than half an inch into the armor, and it is firmly stuck by the strong iron armor.
Xu is, the commander refused to believe that there was such a strong armor in the world, Xu is, the commander refused to believe that his strength could not be broken, and he would have a roar, and he would return to his hand with a knife, and the commander who did not know how to advance and retreat was a good commander, the head of the man fell off the horse, and his blood bloomed like a pear blossom.
For a time, the right army of the Qingfeng Military Governor's Mansion was guarded with the grassland cavalry of Yuekuochaer. The knife came and greeted, and the silver light shone like snowflakes flying; Horses come and go, war horses neigh, blood spills on the field.
Hao Ren's Qingfeng army, which currently does not have strong cavalry, can achieve an overwhelming victory in the cavalry-to-cavalry battle array.
The largest cavalry of the Qingfeng Army is the Feishan Barbarian Cavalry of the rear army, and the 3,000 light cavalry formed by the body, Rao is the Feishan Barbarian bravery, and in terms of equestrianism, it is also inferior to the nomadic cavalry of 'born on horseback and died on horseback', and the biggest role of this rear army light cavalry is to chase and kill enemy deserters after breaking the formation.
Hu Dahai and Geng Zaicheng's cavalry of the sentinel rangers on the left and right were mainly used for sentry and sweeping, relying on the quick replenishment of horses to quickly make up for the loopholes in the battle formation.
As for the guards around Hao Ren, the horse is more like a means of transportation, increasing the speed of maneuvering, and the guards of the Governor's Mansion have a history of being put into the battlefield several times, and the soldiers are dismounted and fighting on foot, with the help of firearms and military formations to break the enemy.
A quarter of an hour's effort, the disadvantages of Hao Ren's cavalry, has been revealed, Rao is the governor of the palace guards brave, after all, it is the Han Dynasty grew up, equestrian skills are indeed inferior to the other party, Mengyuan cavalry knows that they can't break the armor, but they attack the horses that don't wear vests, and many Qingfeng soldiers fell from their horses because of horse injuries.
The strengths of the Qingfeng army are firearms and military formations, and there is no need to have a cavalry duel with the opponent at present, comparing their own weaknesses with the enemy's strengths.
Hao Ren put down the binoculars in his hand, and saw that the various military formations had been completed, and the mission of Tu Dan Hu had been completed, there was no need to increase the unnecessary casualties of his soldiers and horses too much, and ordered: "Ming Jin, let Tu Dan Hu retreat, artillery, prepare to fight the pursuit of the enemy soldiers!" ”
"Dangdang!"
A frowning gong sounded at the head of the whole Jiaocheng city, Tu Danhu did not dare to slack off, cut two knives, turned the horse's head, led the cavalry, retreated in the direction of the Chinese army, went to a thousand, came back only six hundred, four hundred people sacrificed on the opponent's exquisite equestrian skills, for the precious time of the whole army camp.
Although the equestrian skills of the grassland cavalry were excellent, they still suffered the loss of the Qingfeng army, more than six hundred, seeing the retreat of the Qingfeng army, they tightly bit the tail of the retreating Qingfeng army, and chased after it, eager to scatter the military formation of the Red Turban Army in one fell swoop.
Tu Danhu looked up at the head of the city, and the flag on the head of the city made him retreat into Fu Youde's left army formation, and he shouted loudly to his brothers: "Follow me!" Adjust the direction of the horse and retreat directly to Fu Youde's military formation.
