Chapter 235: The Dignity That Was Pierced
Liu Yueping was a pikeman, and with a strong physique, he has persevered since the beginning of the battle. At this time, Liu Yueping's body and face were full of blood, and he couldn't tell whether it was the enemy's or his own. The long battle had severely depleted his physical strength, and his numb hands could only mechanically stab the spear in his hand. Although he is called an iron man on weekdays, he is not made of iron after all, Liu Yueping feels that he can't hold on, and the only thing that supports him is the belief in his heart.
"Kill!"
The spear in his hand stabbed out again, and then skillfully stirred and withdrawn, and a Jian slave was killed in his hands again. But Liu Yueping's physical strength dropped again, and an irresistible feeling of powerlessness surged from his limbs to his limbs, and the world was spinning in front of him.
Can't hold on?
Liu Yueping suddenly smiled, but he was so calm in the face of death at this moment, after a battle, he killed more than 30 Jiannu.
That's enough!
At this time, Liu Yueping suddenly heard bursts of cheers around him, and hurriedly supported his body with a spear, closed his eyes and tried to calm down.
"Brothers, kill! Our reinforcements have arrived. ”
"Reinforcements, our reinforcements are coming, kill!"
"Kill!"
The news of the arrival of reinforcements spread throughout the battlefield in an instant. The morale of all the officers and men of the 003rd Division instantly soared, and they suddenly broke out into an earth-shattering shout.
"Reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming." Liu Yueping only felt that a dreamlike turn had befallen him, and his collapsed body erupted with a force that emerged out of nowhere, and he struggled to lift the spear. But the enemy in front of him retreated timidly.
As soon as the reinforcements of the Ming army arrived, the morale of the Jiannu on the battlefield suddenly plummeted. They only felt that the 003 Division in front of them was like an iron wall, which could not be broken or broken. With the arrival of reinforcements from the Ming army, they lost even more confidence in annihilating the 003 Division. The Jiannu soldiers who fought with the 003rd Division, while the morale of the Ming army skyrocketed, many of them timidly took a few steps back to wait and see the situation on the battlefield.
However, it was these few steps that completely lost the opportunity to annihilate the 003 Division.
The Tengxiang Cavalry Army, which rushed to the battlefield, galloped all the way and came straight in the direction where the 003rd Division was located.
"Stop them. Stop them for Ben Khan. The wild boar skin was already completely crazy at this moment, and roared eagerly.
The Ming army in front of him obviously can't hold on for long, but the arrival of the Tengxiang cavalry army suddenly makes it difficult for the wild boar skin to ride the tiger, once it can't stop the Tengxiang cavalry army, all the previous efforts will be in vain, and all the losses will lose all meaning.
After a while, the wild boar skin was stunned for a moment, only to find that the Ming cavalry that came to help was only about 10,000 in size. And their Dajin side has already dispatched four banners of cavalry. The strength of the army was more than twice that of the Ming army.
"Are the people of the Ming Kingdom sending to death?" Suddenly, there was a wave of ecstasy in the heart of the wild boar skin, if the Ming army put its troops into it little by little, this kind of refueling tactic was simply the ideal development process in the heart of the wild boar skin.
It's just that what the wild boar skin can't understand is that the formation of the cavalry of the Ming army looks too neat. He had never seen such a cavalryman.
Before they could think about it, the cavalry on both sides collided like a torrent.
The formation is like a uniform cavalry of the Ming army, and it does not use any long-range strike means at all, and directly braves the rain of arrows from Jiannu. Rushed into the midst of Jiannu's cavalry. And Jiannu's rain of arrows obviously didn't cause any damage. Originally, Jiannu's bow and arrow range was relatively scummy, and the strength exerted by the cavalry was smaller, so it could not shoot through the fine armor of the Ming cavalry.
These armors are no longer woven with iron sheets, but have been replaced with steel armor, and the protection has been greatly improved.
Jiannu's cavalry shooting was also unable to form a dense rain of arrows because of the range. Their rain of arrows is only sparse. And if they want to prevent the Tengxiang Cavalry Army from supporting the 003 Division, they will inevitably collide with the Tengxiang Cavalry Army.
The result of the cavalry shooting was to make Jiannu's cavalry formation more scattered.
Such a scattered formation was originally very normal. However, in the face of the tight formation of the Tengxiang cavalry army, a fatal problem soon formed. The two sides collided. Jiannu's cavalry formation was as fragile as a piece of paper, and it was directly chiseled into it by the Tengxiang cavalry army.
The clash of cavalry also quickly showed a one-sided trend.
The weapons of the Ming army were more sophisticated than those of the Jiannu cavalry, the weapons were sharper, and the armor was more protective. Moreover, under the tight formation, it formed a military advantage over Jiannu in battle. A famous Jiannu cavalry fell from his horse under the siege of the Ming cavalry, and because of the scattered formation, in the battle with the Ming cavalry, it was like adding oil, and was eaten by the Ming cavalry little by little.
Because of the tight formation, the cavalry of the Ming army did not have too high requirements for the cavalry's riding skills, because in the battle, because of the advantage of the formation, it could form an advantage of more than two people against one Jiannu cavalry, and there was no need to use any superb horsemanship to move around.
And even if Jiannu has better riding skills than the Ming cavalry, it is useless in the face of the steely discipline of the Ming cavalry. With the superiority of discipline in the Ming army, they were able to besiege and beat the Jiannu cavalry. At the same time, the equipment of the cavalry of the Ming army was also so good that it was a little frustrated.
The whole body is made of steel, which is absolutely crushed in production technology. After the Ming Dynasty had the converter steelmaking technology, the steel production efficiency has been greatly reduced, but the Jiannu still smuggled materials from the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the productivity was actually very low. It's just that Jiannu still has some craftsmen obtained from Daming in his hands after all, so Jiannu's weapons and equipment are not bad, but compared to the Ming army at this time, the quality of Jiannu's equipment is not enough at all.
In the past, Jiannu was able to gain an advantage, mainly because the equipment of the Ming army was cut corners. Jiannu's equipment did not cut corners, both sides used the original equipment manufacturing technology of the Ming Dynasty, and Jiannu had an advantage. But now the equipment of the Ming army not only did not cut corners, but also because of technological breakthroughs, equipment manufacturing materials were fully upgraded to steel.
The sabers of the Jiannu cavalry were slashed on the steel armor of the Ming army, and many times they could not break through the defense at all. At most, it was a cut out, but it was not deep at all, and that small cut made the Ming cavalry suffer a little skin wound at most.
However, the weapons of the Ming cavalry were cut on the body of the Jiannu cavalry, but it was like chopping melons and vegetables. In particular, the Ming cavalry had too many weapons, because the dense formation made the Ming cavalry not need to rely too much on horsemanship, and some Ming cavalry even held two weapons.
As soon as the two sides come into contact, each Jiannu cavalry must face at least 4 or more weapons. And there are all kinds of weapons, the mainstream weapon is the disposable cavalry gun, the cavalry gun crashes into the enemy under the charge, and then the barrel of the gun will break with it, so as to avoid the recoiling of the horse on your side. Then throw away the cavalry and replace it with a spear for battle.
The spear is also the main weapon, and this weapon is actually more powerful on a horse than a saber. However, the cavalry of the Ming army only advocated the use of spears by cavalry. Other weapons were not forbidden, so much so that sabers, tomahawks, and maces appeared on the battlefield.
Usually, the cavalry of the Ming army was equipped with spears and sabers, and the cavalry in the front row would have an additional cavalry spear that was more than three meters long. When fighting, you can hold the spear under your armpit while holding it, and then charge at the enemy, as long as you adjust the direction. Hold a saber in the same hand and attack when the enemy dodges. Or use a tomahawk, mace.
The whole fight was nothing short of a merciless, shameless siege.
As soon as a Jiannu cavalry rushed into the battle circle, he sadly found that he was facing two Ming cavalrymen in front of him. This Jiannu cavalryman was not afraid at all, he had absolute confidence in his riding skills. But as soon as they clashed, two spears stabbed at them. The Jiannu cavalryman hurriedly turned to one side, and the whole person hung on his side on the horse's back as if he was playing acrobatics. Before Jiannu could be complacent, his head suddenly buzzed, and a mace violently knocked on his head. The helmet was knocked into a large dent on the spot, and the Jiannu cavalry's eyes were dark, and as soon as they let go of their hands, they fell directly from their horses, and they were ruthlessly trampled by the horses in an instant.
In the case of scattered formations, the Jiannu cavalry usually have to face the attack of more than two Ming cavalry, these two Ming cavalry have not only two spears, but also two sabers or battle axes, maces, no matter how superb the riding skills of the Jiannu cavalry, in the face of such a dense attack, they will be cut under the horse in an instant, and there is no place to dodge.
A Ming Jiannu cavalryman was cut off his horse, and the formation became more loose. Most of the Jiannu cavalry could only wander away from the periphery of the battle circle under the scattered formation, and once they rushed into the battle circle, they would be tragic and heroic in less than an instant.
All the Jiannu cavalry have clashed until now, and they only feel a deep chill against the Ming cavalry.
They finally realized that these Ming cavalry in front of them were no longer the Ming cavalry of the past. The fighting power they displayed was so strong that they were desperate.
In such despair, Jiannu's cavalry formation was quickly ruthlessly chiseled through by Tengxiang's cavalry army, killing from one end to the other, and the Jiannu cavalry along the way even dodged to both sides, which was simply vulnerable. All the dignity was lost at the moment when it was chiseled, making the wild boar skin watching the battle feel hot pain on his face at this moment, as if he had been slapped hard.
"This, how is this possible!" Boar Skin clenched the reins with both fists and gritted his teeth at the terrible situation in front of him.
The bandit gang formed by the wild boar skin fully revealed their most fatal flaws at this time. They do not have enough discipline and a strong enough will to fight, and they tend to collapse directly in high-intensity battles.
The Tengxiang cavalry army, which had penetrated the Jiannu cavalry, did not turn around, but went straight to the direction where the 003rd Division was located. The Jiannu infantry that was besieging the 003rd Division collapsed on the spot, and was driven away by the Tengxiang cavalry army like a duck and routed. The 003rd Division, which was constantly attacked by Jiannu with wheel tactics, finally gained a precious respite.
The ground was full of dead corpses in front of the battle, the smell of gunpowder smoke was permeating, and the land was stained with blood. (To be continued......)
