Chapter 236: What is cavalry?
The position where the cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army appeared was on the left flank of the battlefield where they were fighting. But it was more than ten miles away from the battlefield, and I don't know when the cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army, who had "fled" back in the direction of Jiuyuan City, actually went around in a big circle and appeared opposite the 100,000 Donghu cavalry of Mohuer, who was far away from the battlefield.
Obviously, the cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army was not at all fleeing from the battlefield and wanting to return to Jiuyuan City as the Huns thought, and they were also doing the same thing as Mohuer, plundering the formation for the infantry of the Jiuyuan Army.
However, whether it was Morton or Mohuer, neither of them thought that the Jiuyuan Army would see their hundreds of thousands of troops fleeing without a fight. In that case, I'm too sorry for the name of Meng Tian, the power of the Jiuyuan Army.
The cavalry of the 40,000 Yuan Army was much sparse compared to the dense 100,000 Donghu cavalry of Mohuer.
The Jiuyuan Army, which had reappeared on the battlefield, lined up in a long and scattered straight line, slowly approaching the Donghu cavalry, who were also riding their horses and adjusting their formation. The cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army advanced slowly and silently.
Even though the two armies were still at least six or seven miles apart, Mohuer and the Donghu cavalry felt an indescribable mountain pressure coming from the cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army that was slowly approaching. It was as if they were not facing tens of thousands of cavalry, but a giant beast that was about to break through the ground. The beast was now gathering strength, and no one doubted that when he really bared his fangs, the attack would have shocked the heavens and the earth.
Is this the Jiuyuan Army, which has made the murderous Huns dare not go south for ten years? Even if there is no real attack, just relying on a very loose formation makes himself and others feel a lot of pressure.
Originally, because the strength of their side was far more than the cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army, the Donghu cavalry who laughed at the Jiuyuan Army in their hearts for not being able to measure themselves unconsciously lost the arrogance they had at the beginning, and they all became dignified, and even some of the Donghu cavalry who went to the battlefield for the first time were already pale in the face of the Jiuyuan Army cavalry that was released more and more imposing as the distance got closer and closer.
As an animal, the war horse under the crotch of the Donghu cavalry reacted to murderous energy significantly more than the Donghu cavalry who realized it later. From time to time, the horses under the crotch of the Donghu cavalry stopped in place because of fear, snorting, and were unwilling to continue to advance.
However, tens of thousands of cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army, before they attacked, they had already reached the Donghu cavalry, which was almost three times the cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army, as if a boulder had been pressed against their hearts.
Mo Huer's eyes were solemn, and he knew that if he allowed the Jiuyuan Army's accumulated momentum to approach like this, he was afraid that he would not have to wait for them to charge. His 100,000 Donghu cavalry will have no morale under the monstrous momentum of the Jiuyuan Army, and they have been defeated before the battle.
The cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army can no longer be allowed to continue to use momentum to oppress the Donghu cavalry like this, and they must attack immediately! At this time, Mo Huer no longer had the heart to care about the Donghu cavalry who were fighting with the 80,000 and 9 Yuan Army foot soldiers.
His intuition told him that the danger of his 100,000 Donghu cavalry was even greater than that of the Donghu cavalry who were fighting with the infantry of the Jiuyuan Army.
"Boom!"
Mo Huer was just about to order the entire Donghu cavalry to charge, and the cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army on the opposite side had already begun to take the lead in charging against his 100,000 Donghu cavalry.
The huge word "Qin" refers to the place where the 100,000 Donghu cavalry of Mohuer are located. The rapid charge of the cavalry of the 40,000 Yuan Army from static to dynamic gave people a great visual shock.
In the roaring sound, the indomitable momentum of tens of thousands of cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army reached its peak in an instant. With an overwhelming momentum, it crushed towards the 100,000 Donghu cavalry of Mohuer.
Mohuer looked at the cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army who took the lead in the charge, and his eyes couldn't help shrinking.
I saw that the cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army, which was originally arranged in a long and scattered straight line, was gradually shrinking and converging in the rapid gallop, and gradually formed a charging formation in the shape of four cones.
Four cones, each of which represents a lieutenant of the cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army, that is, 10,000 people.
Li Gang, Meng Wei, Zhao Zhan, and the four people who have been blinded are all in front of these four cones! This is the practice of all the Jiuyuan Army, and it is also the practice of the Qin Army! The generals of every army, except the commander of the army, acted in this way.
As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one.
Whether it was the time of the appearance of the Nine Plains Army, the timing of the attack, or the smoothness of adjusting the formation in the gallop, Mo Huer had a sense of amazement.
The reason why he chose to ride his horse slowly was precisely because of the need to adjust the formation.
Adjust and change the formation of the charge at will when charging, even the Donghu people under his command who have grown up on horseback since childhood may not be as smooth and natural as the Jiuyuan Army.
Because this is a cluster charge of tens of thousands of people, not one person or two people charging! The difficulty can be imagined!
The formation of the cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army did not end because of this, and the four conical formations continued to change. In the gallop, the two conical formations in the middle are perfectly fused together, forming a huge conical charging formation that is twice as large as the left and right wings. Then the left and right wings were centered on the huge cone formation in the middle, and a complete and huge cone formation was formed again, which could be fought separately and at the horns of each other.
Smooth, concise, efficient, efficient!
In front of the 100,000 Donghu of Mohuer, the cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army told them with practical actions what these warriors who claim to be a horseback nation are called elite and what are cavalry!
The cavalry charge of the Jiuyuan Army, which had only 40,000 men, gave all the Donghu cavalry an unshakable feeling, as if they were no longer facing 40,000 people, but 400,000 people.
In the sound of the long horn, Mohuer's 100,000 Donghu cavalry began to move, and the cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army who charged over slowly rode their horses to trot, and finally turned into a rapid gallop.
In the gallop, the 100,000 Donghu cavalry was divided into two. A cavalry of 60,000 people also changed into a conical charging formation, but the conical formation of the Donghu cavalry has the shape of the Jiuyuan Army, but it does not have the essence of the cavalry cone formation of the Jiuyuan Army.
Another 40,000-strong Donghu cavalry galloped towards the flank. Mohuer obviously wanted to use one cavalry to confront the Jiuyuan Army head-on to drag the Jiuyuan Army, and then the other cavalry attacked the flank of the Jiuyuan Army and disrupted the formation of the Jiuyuan Army.
Under the persuasion of the Donghu generals, Mohuer did not join the battlefield, but stayed in the rear under the protection of thousands of Donghu elites.
Now, Donghu's 300,000 troops who followed Mao Dun south this time have all been put into the battlefield. Although Mohuer was helpless in his heart, there was nothing he could do.
Looking at the two cavalrymen approaching at a rapid pace, Mohur was silent. Do you really want to become a sinner of the Donghu clan?
In less than a mile, the two cavalry will officially collide! The cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army didn't seem to see the division of the Donghu cavalry at all, but just stared at the 50,000 Donghu cavalry who came up.
This extremely abnormal scene made Mo Huer frown. Is the world-famous Jiuyuan Army so arrogant? Or is Changshengtian also helping himself when he hears his prayers, so that these arrogant Qin people can also taste failure?
Another 40,000-strong Donghu cavalry had to avoid the place where the two cavalry collided, so after making a circle, it was the farthest from the battlefield. From the current point of view, by the time the Jiuyuan Army collided with the Donghu cavalry, if the Donghu cavalry wanted to attack the flank and abdomen of the Jiuyuan Army, it would take at most a cup of tea.
As long as the 60,000 Donghu cavalry of the main attack can delay the time of the cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army, another 40,000 Donghu cavalry can break through the flank and belly of the Jiuyuan Army. Then no matter how brave and good the Jiuyuan Army is, there is only one way to rout.
Mo Huer did not and did not dare to think that with his own 100,000 cavalry, he could leave behind the 40,000 cavalry of the Forty-Nine Yuan Army.
As long as it can defeat the cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army.
In the roar of horses' hooves like a landslide, two cavalry in the same formation, one black and one white, approached rapidly.
Five hundred steps!
Three hundred steps!
Two hundred steps!
"Buzz!"
The huge "Qin" banner at the front of the front of the front arrow formation swayed, and the cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army at the front of the front of the front arrow formation of the Jiuyuan Army, which was galloping rapidly, raised their hands and shot the crossbow arrows that had long been ready to go.
A pitch-black cloud appeared above the head of the galloping Jiuyuan Army, and in an instant, the cloud appeared directly above the head of the Donghu cavalry as if it would teleport. With a sharp cracking sound, it swooped down.
Blood splashed, screams again and again, people turned on their backs! The sudden dense crossbow arrows instantly tore through the flesh and blood of the Donghu cavalry, penetrating into their bodies and the bodies of the war horses.
And that's just the beginning!
A moment later, a loud trumpet sounded through the sky!
This is not the horn of the Donghu cavalry, but the horn sound from the front arrow formation of the cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army! Compared with the low horn sound of Donghu and the Huns, the horn of Daqin is much more desolate and high-pitched!
Just when the galloping Donghu cavalry formation was in chaos, the original huge arrow array of the Jiuyuan Army cavalry that had fired crossbow arrows sounded at the same time as the horn sounded, and it was split in a moment, and the Jiuyuan Army cavalry on the left and right wings instantly broke away from the big formation, and the already extremely fast speed instantly skyrocketed by three or four points, and rushed towards the two wings of the Donghu cavalry that were turned on their backs.
The cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army, which was facing the Donghu cavalry, was only left with a huge arrow in less than a moment!
At the same time that the cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army on both flanks broke away from the large formation and formed a frontal charge formation alone, two clouds of black crossbow arrows that were much smaller rose from the cavalry formation of the Jiuyuan Army on the left and right wings.
The crossbow arrows took off, and the 20,000 cavalry of the Nine Plains Army on both wings withdrew the strong crossbow in their hands and clenched the bronze sword in their hands!
The Jiuyuan Army, a series of formation changes that dazzled the Donghu and Huns, made those who claimed to be a nation on horseback understand what a real cavalry is!
