The head of the spear that flashed with cold light instantly pierced the leather armor on the ribs of the enemy horseman's chest, and at this time, Zhang Yue's crumbling back suddenly slammed upward, picking up the corpse on the head of the gun. This trick is called "picking a gun right away", and it can't be done without ten years of skill.
Because the upper horse pierced the enemy horse, if it was too late to throw off the corpse, it would be hit by the rear row, so as to form a string of sugar gourds, and under the huge force formed by this speed, the barrel of the gun was very easy to break. And if you don't grasp it well, you will hit yourself, not to mention the "pick" that throws off the corpse with horsepower momentum is very exhausting.
Therefore, since ancient times, there have been very few large-scale lancers, and only a few fierce generals can use mounted spears, but the length depends on individual force. A large horse spear with a length of four and a half meters like the Polish hussars could not be popularized and difficult to copy.
"Pick the gun right away" is extremely difficult, that is, it is difficult to exert force on the back, once this trick is used to throw the corpse away, the position of the gun head will be raised accordingly. Zhang Yue is in this situation now, but he can react quickly, quickly grasp the tail of the gun with his empty left hand, and exert force in front of his right arm, and slap the shoulder and neck of the enemy rider in the back row downward.
The left and right horsemen and the follow-up knights followed closely by Zhang Yue's side, quickly broke through the gap and broke through the enemy's arrow formation from the front in one fell swoop, with the rapid impact force, rushed straight forward like a wave cutting waves, and met Hao Tianying's department who broke through from the side on the way, chiseled through the enemy formation at once, and defeated the enemy's flank.
When the horse team is charging at high speed, it is very dangerous to make an emergency U-turn, and then it is necessary to slow down and then turn the whole team, and the same is true for both sides, because the first round of the charge has a certain purpose of testing each other. After hedging, the distance between them was about 100 steps, and the whole team visually estimated the number of people at the same time, and then looked at the opponent, and the trend of victory and defeat had been formed.
Zhang Yue's troops had the upper hand and adopted more advantageous tactics, and the combat strength of the troops under his command was not inferior to that of the enemy's allied army, and after only one round of charge, the number of cavalry was still about 1,200. As for the forces of the Zhe Clan and Tuoba Naji, there were only a thousand cavalry left, because they were in a hurry to meet the battle, and when they fired at the front of the charge, they eliminated more.
However, this is only a difference in the number of troops, if there are reasonable tactics, or some variables, this disadvantage in numbers is easy to recover in the cavalry. It's just that after being "chiseled", the formation has a certain amount of disarray, and the whole team will take longer. However, Zhang Yue did not take advantage of the situation to react quickly to charge, because he divided his troops, which still had a chance of victory for Zhe Gezhi.
In the open space between the two formations, the corpses of the men and horses were in a mess, the undead men and horses were wailing helplessly, and the plasma stained the dry land gradually formed a layer of dark red blood mud.
"Kill!" Zhang Yue shouted, seized the opportunity again, and launched a new round of rushing and killing, the sound of horses' hooves roared like thunder, like the waves of the angry sea rolling forward. This time, he did not divide his troops again, but concentrated his forces to charge, otherwise, the results of the first round of impact created by the fast rush just now would quickly disappear.
There was fear in Tuoba Naji's eyes, but he didn't dare to open his mouth to persuade him to retreat. Seeing his own disadvantage, he glared angrily at his eyes with extreme unwillingness, and shouted with all his might: "There is no advance or retreat!" Kill ......"
The two sides confronted each other again, without any fancy, and even the bow and arrow shooting before the formal reception were saved, and when encountering a strong enemy with the same excellent psychological quality and the same effective attack and defense, it was useless, and the best way at this time was to increase the horse speed to the extreme as much as possible, give the opponent a "chisel through", and take advantage of its failure to defeat the whole team in one fell swoop.
Interestingly, at the beginning of the second round of charge, both sides with the same purpose, adopted the same frontal formation and frontal direct charge tactics, both of which raised the speed of the horse to the limit. However, the party that broke the gap first was still Zhang Yue.
The horse is fast and the enemy is approaching at about the same speed, so the time to react is very short. Zhang Yue is still the first to rush to the tip of the arrow, between the lightning and flint, he didn't dare to play with the gun anymore, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, shook the gun directly with both hands, and opened the gap with the huge elasticity of the gun barrel left and right, so that the breaking speed is much faster, but it is still inevitable that there will be guys who hit the tip of the gun, so he has to use the "pick gun" again.
When riding in a hedge, the most dangerous moment is the breach, and then it is safer, because there are riders on the left and right to take into account the defense, as the fierce general of the arrow only needs to rush forward to kill at the same time, grasp the direction, if the effect is greatly reduced if you rush out from the side, so that the enemy rider will ignore the side Ji, and complete the U-turn counterattack while running, then it will be trapped.
Zhang Yue's sense of direction is still good, after breaking into the enemy formation, he always keeps the horse position and rushes forward, and there is no reference to choose from in the enemy formation, so he can only grasp his own direction.
The front of the eyes is finally open, Zhang Yue took the lead through the formation, it is expected that the second round of charge is unfavorable, Tuoba Naji and Zhe Ge will flee the battlefield along the momentum of the battle formation, Zhang Yue immediately began to shake the reins of the horse, so that the war horse will be released after the run, and then it will run for a while, and then shake the reins, so that the formation of centaurs has run away, turn a big bend and quickly complete the U-turn.
Sure enough, after the enemy was "chiseled through", two teams from the east and west had been formed to rush away, not only did not slow down and turn around, but also constantly rode their horses and whips, and galloped away at any cost. The formation in the back was greatly scattered, but they obviously didn't care.
"Chasing ......" Zhang Yue raised his spear and shouted, his legs kept kicking and hitting the horse's belly, after the war horse completed the U-turn, he could beat the horse and gallop unscrupulously, in order to bite the enemy horse tightly, as long as he caught up with another charge, the enemy army would be defeated, so that it was a complete victory.
"Hao Tianying! Kill! While Zhang Yue was galloping, he didn't forget to point the order with a spear, because the backward stragglers in the rear of the enemy cavalry would escape, so naturally they would leave a team to chase and suppress, but it was difficult to hear the orders in the battle array, and more often it needed to be completed with gestures, but Hao Tianying had a tacit understanding with him, and immediately understood his intentions.
Zhang Yue continued to avoid the stragglers along the way, keeping the speed of his horses and chasing after Tuoba Naji and Zheqi Gezhi who were more than two hundred steps ahead, because a large number of men and horses were left behind, only four or five hundred horsemen were left to follow, and the number of people continued to fall behind, and the distance was getting closer and closer.
Not all war horses have the same physical strength, so Zhang Yue's horse team is not much better, and only seven or eight hundred horsemen follow, and after the others are thrown off, some run to chase and kill the enemy stragglers, and some are still chasing behind.
After chasing twenty or thirty miles to the northwest, the distance was seventy or eighty paces, and Zhang Yue led his troops to release arrows one after another, but unfortunately only shot down the enemy soldiers. Tuoba Naji, dressed in heavy leather armor, always runs ahead. As for Ge Zhi, Zhang Yue has never seen it at all, and he doesn't know it.
At this time, a village and town appeared in front of them, and the enemy horses separated, and one group continued to run along the country road that was not wide, and the group that was behind was the Zhe Ge Zhi, but ran into the village and town. Zhang Yue chased to the intersection and assassinated a few horsemen with a spear, hesitated for a moment, and continued to chase along the path.
This road did not lead to the avenue, but to the dry land, and Tuoba Naji rode more than 200 into the field, and the speed dropped at once. Zhang Yue chased after sixty or seventy steps, the whole person was completely relaxed, the skin on his face felt the wind, he opened his bow and was ready to shoot, his sharp eyes were staring at Tuoba Naji's back and neck, the arrow rose and fell with him riding a horse, constantly adjusting the angle, seeing that he was about to rush to the gentle slope on the edge of the dry land, the angle was just right, Zhang Yue immediately released the arrow.
With a "boom", the arrow flew through the air and flew over a distance of sixty paces, piercing the back of Tuoba Naji's neck, bringing out a puddle of blood, and soon was weakly thrown down by the war horse and tumbled to the ground.
The two hundred horsemen exclaimed, and when several of the horsemen on the heels rushed past Tuoba Naji, two horsemen flipped off the side of the horse, stepped on the horse's pedal with one foot, hooked the saddle with the other, and played a horse under his nose to "hang the golden hook upside down", and one of them took a hand and snatched Tuoba Naji away.
Zhang Yue was very unwilling to catch up and cover up for a while, but the capture was not big, and the soldiers' horses began to foam, so they had to beat their horses and leave the dry land, rest on the road for a while, ride slowly and return to the Chishui Military City. (To be continued.) )
