Chapter 337: Cavalry Can Fight Like This (I)
Smack——! Smack——! The hooves of the horse's horsemen on the earth made a heart-shattering sound. Accompanied by the sonorous and powerful rhythmic sound, the 10,000 Great Yan did not launch a group charge under the leadership of Ji Xuanyuan, but rushed towards the Lingnan infantry in a radioactive manner.
The reason why the cavalry can be invincible against the infantry, in addition to mobility, is that the cavalry crushes the infantry when charging in a group, which causes psychological pressure on the infantry, and with mobility and condescending advantages, it will completely defeat the infantry. This is the most common truth in cavalry warfare, and it is common sense that belongs to cavalry warfare.
But when Sang Xiong saw the 10,000 Dayan cavalry rushing towards his 20,000 foot soldiers in a radioactive dispersed formation, he was also a little stunned, and an indescribable thought couldn't help but rise in his heart, this- what does Ji Qingchen want to do? Is there any trick that can't be done? But then he denied this idea, and they sent news from the inside line of Dayan, saying that Ji Qingchen only had 30,000 iron horsemen around him when he went out of the mountain this time, and the 100,000 army was still resting in the mountain, and he had not come out of the mountain, which was the real reason why he set up an ambush on Pingmapo and prepared to annihilate Ji Qingchen in a battle, so he felt that no matter what tricks Ji Qingchen had, 30,000 cavalry would only be defeated against his 120,000 foot soldiers in the unfavorable terrain.
"Teacher, how could the Great Yan cavalry make such a stupid move?" On the side, Bai Bairen, the little prince of the Baiyan clan, also seemed to have discovered the formation of the Great Yan cavalry when they charged, and asked his teacher.
"There's no way, they can only go this way." Sang Xiong replied lightly, "The terrain here is not suitable for cavalry to launch a large-scale charge, and a small-scale charge will weaken the combat effectiveness due to the congestion of the roads, and it will also be used as a target by us, so Ji Qingchen can only take this step!" ”
After speaking, Sang Xiong ordered the guards beside him, "Release the arrows-"
"Shoot the arrow—" The guards beside him took the order and raised the order flag. Staying by Sang Xiong's side, the 20,000 back soldiers who had not yet been put into the battlefield received the order, and immediately bent their bows and arrows, and the 20,000 feathered arrows were launched at the opposite side of the Dayan Iron Cavalry.
Whoosh – whoosh –
The feather arrow met Dayan's iron horse like the wind, and Ji Xuanyuan, who was rushing to the front, only felt a killing intent attacking him, and on his side, he heard a "whoosh" sound in his ears, and a feather arrow slashed past his ear and shot at a companion behind him.
Many of the rest of the people were also thrown off their horses after being hit by arrows!
"Bow and arrow preparation-shooting-" Seeing this scene, Ji Xuanyuan decisively issued a military order. As soon as he gave the order, the charging Dayan cavalry bent their bows and arrows, and returned an arrow at the oncoming enemy.
In an instant, tens of thousands of arrows shot at the Lingnan Yi tribe.
Yes! Yes!
Oops-
There was a terrible scream from Sang Xiong's side, and many soldiers were shot by the rain of arrows from the Great Yan Iron Cavalry and fell in a pool of blood.
Sang Xiong's pupils contracted, and his face also showed a faint anger, he didn't expect this cavalry to know so much about cavalry and archery kung fu, he only remembered that the cavalry of the world was very powerful, and he didn't expect that Ji Qingchen's Northern Liao Iron Cavalry was also so powerful.
Just when the bear was angry, the two sides had already fired two rounds of arrows.
Because the back soldiers saw that their army was not far from the Great Yan cavalry, and that they would hurt their compatriots if they shot again, they did not shoot arrows again. The Great Yan cavalry put away their bows and arrows, took out the crossbow arrows on the saddle, and aimed them at the Lingnan infantry who were close in front of them.
Whoosh——! Whoosh——! Whoosh——!
This is the standard configuration of the Northern Liao and Beirong cavalry, with three consecutive crossbow arrows.
Three crossbow arrows were fired, and because of the close distance between the two sides, the 20,000 foot soldiers who charged forward rushed to the front of the sergeant and immediately fell a large number of arrows.
Immediately, as they screamed, Aomine Rider had already pulled out the saber at his waist and slashed at their heads.
"Poof—"
"Poof—"
In an instant, I saw that one after another war horses had entered the Lingnan infantry, and the heads of the Lingnan infantrymen were cut off. The pace of the Lingnan infantry was stopped, and the formation that rushed to the front was chaotic, and then it collapsed all at once.
"Rubbish—" Mulberry Bear saw this, and fire was about to erupt in his eyes.
Because he had already calculated everything, the right time, place and people were on his side, and it was difficult for the Dayan cavalry to charge in such a narrow hilly area, and it was difficult to exert their true strength, so when Ji Qingchen sent 10,000 cavalry, he dared to send 20,000 foot soldiers to meet him.
Only now did he realize how stupid his thoughts were, how ridiculous he had just scoffed at the way Ji Qingchen's cavalry formation charged. It turned out that Ji Qingchen's arrangement was not forced to be helpless, but a targeted deployment for the current terrain. Thinking of this, Sang Xiong's back was a little chilly, because to be able to exert such a strong combat power of the cavalry under such a disadvantage, how proficient it is to be in cavalry warfare, what a powerful enemy this is!
In fact, what Sang Xiong didn't know was that the reason why Ji Qingchen dared to arrange the charge formation like this, and the reason why Ji Xuanyuan's 10,000 iron cavalry was able to burst out with such combat effectiveness, in addition to Ji Qingchen's proper deployment, there was also the fact that the individual ability of the Qingfeng cavalry was very strong, which was a very important point. Because the Qingfeng Cavalry is the elite of the elite selected from the 400,000 Northern Liao Iron Cavalry, if the ordinary Northern Liao Iron Cavalry is allowed to launch a radioactive dispersed charge here, they may not be able to achieve the terrifying lethality of the Qingfeng Cavalry.
It's just that Sang Xiong didn't know this, so at this moment he had fear in his heart, and he understood a little bit why the people of Dayan said it so miraculously when they praised Ji Qingchen.
"Sure enough, it is worthy of being Dayan's new military god, and I am going to bow down to the deployment of cavalry tactics in this battle!" Sang Xiong sighed, and then his tone was cold, and he said coldly, "But no matter how strong you are, there are only 30,000 iron horsemen around you, and I have 120,000 troops in my hands, I want to surround you and block you with corpses, I can also block you, Beiliao Wang Ji Qingchen, this time you are dead." ”
Yes!
Oops-
Kill –
Just when Sang Xiong was so emotional, the 10,000 Dayan cavalry had completely rushed into the 20,000 Lingnan infantry and started a fight. They are not used to charging the enemy in this terrain that is not a plain, but they still use their abilities to reaper the heads of the enemy one by one.
In particular, Ji Xuanyuan's killing was even more crazy.
He followed Ji Qingchen for a short time, just when Ji Qingchen was about to go south, he was selected by Ji Qingchen to join the Qingfeng Cavalry, he used to be just an idle child of the royal family, because their branch was already weak, plus the seven families controlled the national and military politics, and he was unwilling to be a gatekeeper, so he had no chance to join the army on the battlefield.
Now Ji Qingchen has given him a chance, and as soon as he arrives at Qingfeng Cavalry, he will let him be the commander of 10,000 cavalry, which is his trust and weight, and it is also a test and expectation for him.
Therefore, today's battle Ji Xuanyuan broke out, and the unwillingness and humiliation that were hidden in his heart suddenly broke out today, so he had this amazing combat effectiveness.
"Kill-" Ji Xuanyuan roared loudly, rode forward, and with a stroke of the long knife, he saw the heads of the three Lingnan foot soldiers rushing in front of him flying into the sky, and the blood spurting out of his neck was like a fountain, splashing him, but he ignored it, and continued to ride forward and rush into the enemy's secret place again.
"This, he's too scary, isn't he?" Mu Zhan on the side asked a little surprised.
He and Li You were originally going to charge behind Ji Xuanyuan, crushing Sang Xiong's army of 40,000 in one fell swoop. However, seeing that Sang Xiong only sent 20,000 foot soldiers and left the strongest 20,000 back soldiers by his side, he and Li You kept the pace of the charge, and waited for Sang Xiong to send 20,000 back soldiers before charging. Because he believed that with the combat power of 10,000 Qingfeng cavalry, it would not be a problem to solve the 20,000 Lingnan infantry in front of him.
It's not his arrogance, it's self-confidence.
No one can understand the strength of the Qingfeng cavalry like him and Li You, only those of them who follow Ji Qingchen's side know how terrifying the true strength of these 30,000 cavalry is.
On the other side, Li You saw Ji Xuanyuan's performance, and he was also stunned for a moment. He and Mu Zhan and Ji Xuanyuan are the three commanders of the Qingfeng Cavalry, he knows the strength of Mu Zhan, and he has passed on the same lineage as him, and he has learned the wolf blade knife, and after following Ji Qingchen, he learned the horse lance. But Ji Xuanyuan has only joined for a short time, and he knows the strength of this royal child. He hadn't seen Ji Xuanyuan compete in the army in ordinary times, so he didn't take Ji Xuanyuan's force value to heart. In today's battle, Ji Xuanyuan on the battlefield was like a killing god, and he suddenly burst out with elite combat power, which woke him up.
When Li You saw this scene, the blood in his body boiled, and a thirst for blood rose in his heart. Because he also wants to compare with Ji Xuanyuan, who is stronger!
However, Ji Qingchen was not too surprised, but when he saw Ji Xuanyuan's terrifying combat power, he said lightly, "This is the courage that the children of the Great Yan Ji Clan should have after the strand is integrated into the blood of bronze!" ”
Compared with Ji Qingchen's calmness, the mulberry bear at this moment is not calm.
Because it was just a charge, the defense line of the 20,000 foot soldiers he sent was broken, and after these 10,000 Yan iron cavalry rushed into the 20,000 foot soldiers, not only was they not surrounded and killed by their own foot soldiers because of the terrain, but they became more and more courageous, and they were about to defeat their own 20,000 foot soldiers.
What kind of combat power is this!
Sang Xiong regretted it for a while, and his forehead was erect.
Because he found himself again wrong, underestimating the individual combat capabilities of this cavalry.
All of a sudden, Sang Xiong was in a dilemma, should he continue to invest his troops to fight Ji Qingchen and wait for Lan Yu and Duan Hu's army? Or give up these 20,000 people and use these 20,000 people and Ji Qingchen's 10,000 cavalry to buy time for Lan Yu and Duan Hu's army? For the first time, Mulberry Bear felt that making a choice could be so difficult.
However, after pondering for a while, Sang Xiong still gritted his teeth and made a decision, he was ready to give up the 20,000 foot soldiers and let them and Ji Qingchen's 10,000 cavalry be consumed to buy time for Duan Hu and Lan Yu's army. He believed that with the advantage of the Great Yan cavalry now having the upper hand, Ji Qingchen would not invest his troops again, unless he invested his troops again to relieve his current decline!
