Chapter Seventy-Two: Cavalry Power
Wang Qinian's ferocity really shocked the grassland people, so that when their soldiers rushed forward with sacks on their backs, they had to keep a heart to stare at this side, for fear that Wang Qinian would play another dare to charge to the death. In fact, at this time, Wang Qinian was no longer able to launch any attack, his whole body was in terrible pain, hedged against the wild galloping horse, even if he was an iron man, he would be scraped off a layer of crumbs.
The anger in Wanyan Bulu's chest was also stimulated, and when the left fort was not completely taken, he launched an attack on the right fort at the same time, this time, the more experienced Wanyan Bulu used cavalry to carry sacks, and the cavalry with a strong mobile surname made the blow of the Changsheng battalion twice as effective, and the strong impact of the cavalry also made it impossible to raid the cold gun halfway.
"General, let Jiang Kui's soldiers go out and attack, this kind of intense attack will not be very strong, let them feel the strength of the opponent's iron cavalry, and it will also help them fight in the future." Shang Haibo, who came to the city in the afternoon, said to Li Qingdao. "Now is a good time, the opponent's will to fight is not strong, and our cavalry skills are not as good as the opponent's.
Regarding Shang Haibo's opinion, Li Qing has always been very respectful, "Okay, just according to what Mr. Shang said, go and rush, but Jiang Kui, you have to remember that your opponents are those barbarians who are throwing sacks, if the opponent's elite rushes up, you must come back, and you only have this one chance, because according to the progress of the other party, soon the cavalry will be used, and you still have to use foot soldiers to climb up to fill it." So you cherish this opportunity to train the army, the last time you beat the water dogs, this time it's a real gun. ”
Jiang Kui said happily: "General rest assured, these two days have suffocated our brothers who rode the wings, and we can go out to cut the barbarians, everyone is excited!" ”
Li Qing smiled and waved his hand: "Go, go, don't play tricks on me, let me see my real kung fu!" ”
Seeing Jiang Kui leave with a smile on his face, Li Qing shook his head and said to Shang Haibo: "Mr. Shang, how is the matter over there?" "Shang Haiqing is now presiding over the seizure of Yiling Iron Mine, which is very important, and only when Shang Haibo comes out can Li Qing rest assured.
"Everything is going well, today I have sent the conscription order of the General's Mansion to the Fang family, I believe that the Fang family is already discussing countermeasures at this time." Shang Haibo said with a smile.
"Be careful of changing the tanuki for the prince and fooling you!" Li Qing looked at Shang Haibo with a sideways face.
"Hahaha, Fang Wenhai wants to fool me, he is not qualified enough!" Shang Haibo sneered, "Don't worry, General, everything is under control." ”
Li Qing didn't speak, turned his head to look at the battlefield, the earthen fortress on the right side of the fort was already one person high, and the cavalry rushed quickly, throwing those sacks high with one arm, landing on the fortress, and then roaring away. The trebuchets and crossbows on the main city and the fort, as well as the bows and arrows, were very weak and dealt only a small amount of damage to the enemy. It took the other side almost half an hour to fill in before dozens of cavalry fell in front of the fort.
The city gate opened, Jiang Kui's cavalry wings poured out, Wang Qinian had already ordered his subordinates to make way for the cavalry wings, so from Wang Qinian's position, several passages were opened at the same time, and 1,500 cavalry swooped out like dragons.
This time it became a cavalry that came out to assault, and Wan Yan Bulu appreciated the opponent's immediate response, but he had absolute confidence in riding against riding, and the grassland iron cavalry had always pressed the cavalry of Da Chu. When it comes to cavalry quality, no army is stronger than the steppe.
The cavalry of the grassland coalition army comes from different tribes, and the weapons are also varied, like the five big tribes of white, yellow, blue, blue and red, the cavalry is basically well-prepared, and the line is the Bai tribe, most of them are wearing iron armor, and the remaining four also have a small number of iron armor, but each cavalry also has a leather armor, and the weapons are relatively unified, and the rest of the small tribes are a little worse, only the officers have armor, and most of the ordinary soldiers are dressed in cloth clothes, wielding a variety of weapons.
Seeing the cavalry wings of the Changsheng battalion rushing up, these barbarian cavalry immediately threw down the sacks in their hands, lifted their weapons, and rushed up with a strange scream. Jiang Kui's cavalry did not rush up like the other party, but formed a wedge-shaped attack formation, the distance between the horses was kept within five steps, in the galloping horse, this distance is quite dangerous, but such a tight formation, the attack power is also huge, in comparison, it is like a barbarian holding a big fan in both hands, while Jiang Kui twists an embroidery needle with two fingers.
The two streams of horsemanship, one left and one right, collided together in an instant, and Jiang Kui's wings were like an awl, plunging into the opponent's formation.
As soon as he saw that the cavalry wings of the Changsheng Battalion could maintain such a tight and tight formation in such a high-speed run, Nokia was stunned and cried out, "Not good! In his image, only the first general of the Bai clan, Lord Huhe, and his wolf army can complete this formation attack, and in the battle with the Murwei people outside the Green Ridge Pass, the wolf army is using this kind of tight large array of impacts, so that the stronger and more powerful Murwei people of the Bai clan are unable to form an army, and they have been defeated in successive battles. The cavalry wing of the Changsheng battalion in front of him could also use this tactic with weight, and subconsciously Nokia felt that it was not good.
It wasn't until he was deeply immersed in the opponent's team that Jiang Kui deeply felt that Li Qing had a deep understanding of the requirements for cavalry to maintain a dense formation in the charge, no matter how good your skills are, what can you do? It's not a heads-up, it's a group fight, it's like a fight, you come up, I come up in a group, and one person and one punch also flattened you. The barbarian's kung fu is indeed good, hiding in the kick, swapping left and right, and even jumping to the opponent's horse in battle, but this is all for nothing, you hide in a kick, hide is hidden, but if you want to get up again, it is impossible, you hide and avoid the front, but the back followed and rushed up, without using knives and guns, directly knocking you to death.
The cavalry of the Changsheng battalion uniformly used standard weapons, each with a bayonet gun, a sabre, and a long bayonet, but the barrels of the guns were some materials that were very easy to break. But after a few experiments, he realized that this kind of bayonet was purely a one-time product, and that the most valuable thing was the head, and the most equipped in his wings was the head, and then there were bundles of barrels.
The knight runs fast on the horse, holding a spear to stab, the speed of the horses on both sides adds up, and the force on the gun is a terrifying number, once the cavalry stabs the opponent, you must let go immediately, otherwise your arm will be waiting to break, and even people will fly out with it, but this kind of technique of letting go of the stab is not so easy to master, sooner or later, early, you will automatically give up the weapon before you stab the opponent, and even if you kill the opponent when it is late, you will be finished. Therefore, this fragile gun shaft came in handy, as soon as it stabbed the opponent, the stressed gun shaft clattered, and it fell apart, and the cavalryman's arm plummeted without causing any damage to the body.
The swords of the Changsheng battalion are also a little different from the people of this era, the blade is slender, with a slight arc, Li Qing spares no effort for the equipment of the cavalry, and finally collects some good quality iron, which he used to make sabers, if there is steel, then this kind of knife will be more useful.
Seeing that his cavalry was easily penetrating the formation, Wan Yan Buru frowned deeply, "This Changsheng battalion is really a newly formed battalion?" How can there be so many cavalry, and they are basically well-trained, and this kind of combat effectiveness is not worse than the elite of our clan? ”
Seeing that his cavalry kept falling off his horse, Nokia's face was very ugly, "This Li Qingnai is a member of the Li clan in Yizhou, and the Li clan is a wealthy family in the Central Plains, so he must be a strong supporter, so there may be such a group of cavalry, or this group of cavalry is simply from the army of the Li clan in Yizhou." ”
While the two were talking, Jiang Kui's cavalry was already in a big circle from a distance after breaking through the enemy formation, and rushed in once again. Starting the assault from the other direction, a moment of effort, actually let him kill one in and one out, the barbarian cavalry fell hundreds of horsemen, and Jiang Kui's cavalry actually lost less than a hundred.
This exchange ratio made both Li Qing and Shang Haibo a little surprised, "It seems that I still have a high opinion of the cavalry tactics of this era." Li Qing secretly thought to himself that the barbarian tribe was strong individually, but the battlefield discipline was too far behind that of the Changsheng battalion.
Li Qing suddenly had a thought, if he had a large enough number of cavalry, it would not be difficult to defeat Bayar. This thought made Li Qing suffer a big loss after encountering Huhe's wolf army in the future.
Jiang Kui killed extremely happily, but after rushing out this time, he had to return, because Li Qing gave him a strict order, one back and forth, he must return to the city.
Reluctantly, Jiang Kui looked at the other party's cavalry that had been rushed by him very unwillingly, turned his horse's head, and rushed towards Fuyuan Fortress.
Today the gunners were depressed.
