Chapter 357: Winning in Cavalry
Huang Maolin personally led the cavalry to rush to the coalition army, at this time it was a good time for the cavalry to charge the formation, the two armies were opposed, and the cavalry charge could be killed and injured by the coalition iron gunners, which was more than worth the loss, so Ma Quanfu decided to attack the two ribs of the coalition army after receiving the enemy in the infantry formation.

The cavalry put down their armor, and the iron armor on their whole bodies, except for the horses, was not armored, and they were half iron men, and the protection was not said.
They lined up in a dense formation, allowing the horses to trot up and forth, rushing forward like a stream of black iron.
There are only more than 1,000 cavalry of the coalition army, and the reinforcements of the Mutsu are brought to Ezo by sea ship, and the tragic transportation capacity of the northeast Okuba region is destined to be unable to transport horses, and it is already useful to transport these infantry teams to do their best, and furthermore, in the Wa Kingdom, the cavalry under the command of the daimyo is its top combat power, how can it be sent out to fight for outsiders.
Most of the horsemen of the Songqian Domain had other official trips, and only about 200 remained, but fortunately, the Anui cavalry could have more than 1,000 people, less than 2,000 people, but the horses were short and only larger than the Jeju horses.
Therefore, their cavalry was not armoured at all, and they were only covered by animal skin robes.
Seeing that the cavalry of the Ming army began to charge into battle, the cavalry of the coalition army, which was less than 2,000, began to meet the front, saying that the cavalry of the Ming army could not be allowed to copy the back road that was attacking the large array of the coalition army.
The leader of the cavalry was the tribal patriarch Roddy Rossi, who also heard about the strength of the Ming cavalry, but fortunately, most of the Ming army's war horses could not cross the river because there were no ships, and there were only thousands of cavalry, so Roddy Rossi decided to fight hard.
Roddy Rossi rose and fell with the beating of his horse, and he looked to his right, only to see that the infantry was still fearlessly rushing to kill and die. His eyes were slightly red. The Anui and the Ho people here have been mortal enemies for centuries. Now they are fighting side by side for this land.
He raised the spear in his hand and made a hoho sound, and more than a thousand Anui cavalry shouted hoho and rushed towards the Ming people with a roar.
The two sides approached eighty paces, and nearly two thousand allied cavalry opened their bows and arrows, and the dense arrows flew and flipped and rushed towards with the hatred of the Anui.
The sound of clanging iron rang out, and the Beihua cavalry protected their heads with a small round shield on the crook of their left arm, and pulled their flint short guns from their saddle bags with their right hands.
Some of the horses were injured and jumped wildly and threw the Beihua cavalry off their horses, while others were unlucky. Between the hands and feet at the seams of the armor, there were more than 20 soldiers killed and wounded.
Then the cavalry in the front row of the North Chinese Army opened fire, and the banging sound was continuous, and the men and horses in the front row of the coalition army were constantly hit, and the cavalry in the front row was empty, and some of the wounded men and horses were hit by the men and horses in the rear, and the scene was chaotic.
Many of the Coalition horses had never heard the sound of the guns at close range, and they were frightened and ran and jumped, dismounting some of the cavalry, and the whole coalition ranks were thrown into confusion.
However, most of the cavalry still fired the second batch of feathered arrows. Inflicted a second casualty on the Beihua cavalry.
After that, the two sides approached ten paces, and the soldiers of the North Chinese Army raised their rifles. The coalition soldiers armed with spears, big sticks, big knives, and heavy weapons hedged against each other.
As soon as Fang fought, the first row could not be seen, there were soldiers on both sides who were injured and fell from their horses, the difference was that many Anui cavalry were severely damaged or killed, their thin animal skins had a certain protective effect on arrows, but there was little protection against sharp and heavy cavalry spears.
The iron armor of the Beihua Army saved the lives of most of their soldiers, and many of them were wounded but did not die.
The second row of the battle was not a small gap, and the remaining Anui cavalry in the first row immediately faced the impact of the second row of Beihua soldiers, and they were almost completely wiped out in the situation of being caught off guard and using less to many.
The cavalry of the Beihua Army can be slightly reorganized and then meet the Anui cavalry in the second row, which is the difference between the dense formation and the loose formation cavalry, and the Beihua cavalry has the advantage.
The cavalry's hedging was very fast, and in an instant, the stormy confrontation between the two sides passed by, nearly half of the Anui cavalry disappeared, and less than one-fifth of the North Chinese army was not there.
The two sides began to turn their horses' heads and charge again.
When Huang Maolin just rushed into battle, the dangers in front were eliminated by the guards one by one, and he didn't have time to make a move, but two of the guards were injured and dismounted, and I am afraid that he will also be in the battle formation next time.
He clenched his cavalry gun in his hand, and looked at the Anui who were finishing the whole team and were closing the formation, and he shouted, "The Broken Army is victorious." ”
"Ten thousand wins, ten thousand wins." The cavalry of the Beihua Army roared, brandishing swords and guns in response, and the momentum spread like a rainbow.
They tightened their mounts, and the horses were getting up to speed and charged towards the Anui cavalry.
"For the land of our ancestors, for our families, rush." Roddy Rossi roared as he swung his spear.
Although all the Anui cavalry was nearly half killed or wounded, no one flinched, they could not retreat, and behind them was their homeland, and they rushed towards the dense formation of the Ming army with the roar of the patriarch and waving their weapons.
The two armies rushed into one place like a tsunami, and the dense formation of the North Chinese Army played a decisive role, they broke up the formation of the Anui people, and locally produced more and less fights, plus the iron armor guard, they quickly dispersed the Anui formation.
After the guards in front of Roddy Rossi and the Ming army hedged one after another, he was injured and fell off his horse one after another, he was exposed to the Ming army, a Ming army's saber slashed at him, he used the length of the spear to stab the Ming army's **** first, a large stream of blood spurted out of the Ming army's chest, the Ming army fell from the horse, and was trampled by the war horse.
Next, a saber slashed down at him, and the dense formation of the Ming army was so caught off guard.
Before he had time to draw his saber, he blocked with his left arm, and a sharp pain came, his left arm broke off at the elbow, and the saber met the iron armor on his body with a piercing scraping sound, and the two staggered.
Roddy Rossi was empty in front of him, chiseled through, and there were no Ming troops in front of him.
Roddy Rossi's left arm was bleeding profusely, and his people on his side hurriedly tied the wounded with cloth to prevent the blood from flowing.
He felt a wave of dizziness, and he looked around with blurred eyes, only hundreds of tribesmen were still on horseback, and the place where the two sides were fighting was covered with dead bodies of men and horses, and the screams of the wounded and undead continued to scream.
He drew his saber with his only remaining right hand and raised it high, he didn't shout, he didn't have the energy to shout, he swung his saber forward firmly, clamped his legs between his legs, and galloped forward.
His people continued to follow him and rushed towards the Akito.
The remaining twenty or thirty cavalry of the Matsumae Domain and more than a hundred cavalry of other tribes rode away in fear, and they only wanted to get as far away from the cavalry of the Ming army as possible, and it was better to never see each other.
Huang Maolin's left shoulder armor was broken, which was scraped by a cavalryman's stick, and his shoulder blade was aching, but fortunately, he could still move, and Huang Maolin knew that there was no big problem.
He saw one of the few Anui with iron armor on the opposite side, a bloodied Anui rushing out with a big sword, Huang Maolin sighed in his heart, he was a warrior.
Huang Maolin raised the saber in his hand and shouted wildly, "Wansheng." "With a kick in the horse's belly, Pegasus rushes out, and since the enemy general has such courage, he doesn't need to give in.
There were also more than 700 cavalry cavalry of the Broken Army urging the horses forward and following Master Qianzong to rush away.
Huang Maolin stared at the bloodi-covered Anui on the opposite side, he estimated that he was the leader of the Anui, Huang Maolin clenched the saber in his hand and prepared to give him the final blow.
When they were about to meet, an Anui rushed out from the diagonal stab and slashed at Huang Maolin, who blocked with a small round shield in his left hand and slashed with a long knife in his right hand, slashing the enemy under his horse.
The two horses were staggered, and he lost the shadow of the leader, and he continued to charge forward, knocking down one of the Anui cavalrymen, and cutting through the enemy line.
There was an empty space in front of him, and he panted and turned his horse's head, sat down and galloped several times, and was so tired that he sweated like pulp, and exhaled heavily.
Huang Maolin comforted the old man with his hand, and looked at the way he came, only to see that the remaining more than 100 Anui people on the opposite side did not turn their horses' heads, but galloped away.
They scrambled to flee for fear of being overtaken by the Ming army, and now there was no one to restrain them.
Their patriarch lay quietly in the verdant wilderness, a spear in his chest piercing through his chest, his eyes glazed over the blue sky.
"Don't pursue, don't pursue, put away your rifle and help the wounded." Huang Maolin shouted.
The length of the rifles determines that they are the first choice for mounted weapons, and the saber is only used in emergency situations after the spear stabs the enemy and escapes.
Huang Maolin planned to let the horses rest and recuperate before attacking the rear of the coalition army and crushing the enemy army from behind.
The cavalry began to return to the place of battle to collect the complete cavalry guns and collect the wounded, which was not a hurried task, and it was just a good time for the horses to rest, and they ran back and forth three times with the fully armored soldiers, and the horses were already very tired.
The battle situation on this side did not hide from the eyes of the commanders on both sides, and now the coalition forces have not been able to attack for a long time, and they have suffered heavy casualties in front of the spear array, but the North Chinese army has slowly but firmly advanced forward.
Song Zhanguang helplessly watched the battle situation become more and more unfavorable, and the Ming army did not collapse under hand-to-hand combat, but became more and more brave the more they fought, and gradually crushed to the south.
Song Zhanguang's heart was cold, his only hope was that the cavalry could withstand the Ming cavalry, and then press the two wings, so that the coalition army could slowly maintain the retreat of the formation, instead of running indiscriminately, under the pursuit of the cavalry, such a scattered escape would definitely die.
Although there was not much hope, after several battles, the cavalry was defeated and scattered, and even Roddy Rossi was killed.
Song Zhan Guang knew that it was over, he saw that the Ming cavalry was resting, and knew that there was not much time left for them, and when the Ming cavalry finished resting and attacked from the flank, the coalition army would collapse immediately.
Song Prospect shouted and shouted.
His own men galloped to the various leaders to spread the word, retreated, slowly retreated, and regrouped, this was their only chance. (To be continued.) )
