Chapter 488: How to Train Heavy Riding The third shift

There are already more than 100 monthly passes, that is, two plus more, and they must be made up after two o'clock in the afternoon, and now continue to ask for monthly passes!

"Stretch ......"

With a sound of bowstrings, 200 sharp arrows burst out of the air and flew towards the party cavalry thirty or forty paces away. And the Ming King Guards cavalry who shot this arrow did not look at the results of the battle, turned their horses' heads and ran!

Yang Po'er kept watching the battle ahead, and when she saw this scene, she shouted: "King, go quickly!" ”

Chen Qianyi shouted: "King, follow me!" So saying, he rode his horse to lead the way.

Chen Dexing did not hesitate and immediately drove his horse to follow. Yang Po'er and more than ten other cavalry guards were shielded by Chen Dexing. A team of men and horses spread their hooves on the battlefield and galloped wildly. And behind them, 200 cavalry of the Guards Archers responsible for cover. Like the lancers, they wore elaborate steel armor and had near-invulnerable defenses. But they did not have spears, and their weapons were two bows and a large horizontal sword. The two bows are a foot bow and a horse bow. They are all the best compound bows, carefully crafted by archers who have come from Lin'an.

And these archers themselves are also the best archers in the Northern Ming Army, most of them are soldiers of the original Eight Banners, who were transferred to the Guards Cavalry after being promoted to Han nationality and named a sergeant. In addition to guarding the Ming king, they also had a very special task, which was to play the role of Mongolian cavalry in military drills to test the Ming army's ability to resist cavalry archery!

Therefore, these archers can imitate the tactics of the Mongolian cavalry, and now they are under Chen Qianyi's arrangement, using Mongolian tactics to deal with the party members.

The tactics designed by Chen Qianyi are simple. It is to let Chen Dexing maneuver (escape) on the battlefield, and the archers will escort him and fight and go. Use Mongolian-style "kite flying" tactics and chase the enemy. At the same time, let the lancers constantly charge the enemy's cavalry. Crush them little by little.

"The first, third, and fourth hundredth teams, go and stop the Ming army with spears!"

"The fifth and sixth hundred-man teams outflanked the Chen thief from the left and right!"

"The rest continue to chase after so-and-so! Don't let go of the thief! ”

Li Heng also made adjustments at the first time, and the seven hundred-man team, including the two hundred-man team that had just been beaten by the Ming army's lancers, was responsible for the pursuit. The other three hundred-man detachments went to fight the Ming spear cavalry who followed the party cavalry.

In his roar, more than 900 party cavalry suddenly divided into four teams, blocking and outflanking, and the pursuers continued to chase with shields. Such tactics seem to have worked quickly, because Chen Dexing can't run straight on the battlefield. The situation on the battlefield is too complicated, and it is not a place for horses. Although most of the Mongols were defeated, many remained on the battlefield and did not leave. From time to time, skirmishes broke out between the Tang and Ming armies, who searched and cleared the battlefield, and the Mongols, who did not have time to flee and hid.

For Chen Dexing, the safest places now are the three strongholds of the Ming army on the battlefield - Gaojialou, Yuzhuang and Xiaolizhuang. There are now artillery and baggage troops, three division headquarters and thousands of infantry left behind by the Ming army, as well as two or three thousand wounded soldiers who are not seriously wounded. As long as he joins them, even if Li Yanguo mobilizes tens of thousands of people to attack, Chen Dexing is confident that he will defeat them.

"Turn right!" Chen Dexing rode on a horse and yelled at Chen Qianyi, who was leading the way, "Let's go to Yuzhuang!" ”

"Order!" Chen Qianyi roared angrily. Like a tiger descending from a mountain, a seven-foot carbine, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and his left hand pulled the reins. In this way, he slammed into the party cavalry that had outflanked him from the right!

Yang Po'er also raised her gun, and the horse was in front of Chen Dexing, and the lead of the flamethrower of the pear flower gun in her hand had been ignited. A spark was slowly sent into the fire gate of the bamboo tube. And Chen Dexing just smiled faintly, and also danced a horse lance to follow.

In his life, he is a warrior with excellent martial arts. It's wishful thinking to take your own life with this little bit of people!

And just when Chen Dexing was about to kill the enemy with his own hands again. A moment to show your majesty. I saw Chen Qianyi, who was riding a horse at the front, roared like thunder, and the seven-foot horse pistol stabbed out.

Not to be outdone, the oncoming party cavalry also stabbed out with a horse pistol.

This battle is not as wonderful as the movie and television in later generations, you can fight for 300 rounds, but win or lose with one blow!

The comparison is whose gun is accurate and hard! And if you use a carbine with a wooden shaft that is not elastic, you must let go of the spear as soon as you immediately stab it into the enemy's body, otherwise the barrel will transfer the force generated by the high-speed collision to the wrist of the gun, and the hand will be useless!

In the blink of an eye, Chen Qianyi's spear had been taken out of his hand, and the party knight on the opposite side turned over and fell off his horse, with a spear stuck in his chest, and he had already lost his life before he could scream!

And Chen Qianyi rushed forward without even knowing his head, and at the same time pulled out a large horizontal knife more than three feet long, lying prone on the horse's back, the long knife pointed straight forward, and rushed at another party cavalryman.

In horse warfare, the knife is also learned, cutting and piercing are not very useful, and if you are not careful, you have to get rid of the long knife! Of course, it's another matter to chop infantry on horseback, and a condescending slash won't give much momentum to the wrist. But it was a difficult task to swing a knife at an oncoming cavalry at high speed - most of his own knives had not yet been cut, and the opponent's spears had already been stabbed!

Therefore, Chen Qianyi made a stroke trick, that is, to use the blade to cut the body of the enemy or the war horse under the enemy's crotch. With the help of a long knife that moves at high speed with horsepower, just a slash is enough to cause great damage to the target's body. In an instant, the leather armor on the thigh of a party cavalryman was cut, and the blade of the long knife slashed through the flesh, and the blood suddenly spurted out, accompanied by a heart-rending scream!

The knights who followed Chen Qianyi also crashed into the party cavalry, the sound of weapons entering the flesh, the muffled sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, the dying wails of the wounded, and the neighing of the wounded horses sounded at the same time.

The horse lance in Chen Dexing's hand danced and stabbed out, and suddenly collided with the oncoming party cavalry. He has a good body in this life, with great length and strength, and he uses a horse lance that is one foot and two feet long. At this length, it has already caught up with the spears of steel-armored pikemen!

This lance is almost the same as a spear and spear, but the price is more than a hundred times more expensive! And it is often priceless, because the long pole of the horse lance is not an ordinary wooden pole, but the main stem is the wood used for bows, peeled into a uniform thickness of the sliver, soaked in oil repeatedly for a year, and dried in the shade for several months. Then glue it with a fine glue paint to make a thick handful, and then wrap the outer layer of hemp rope. Wait for the hemp rope to dry thoroughly, apply raw lacquer, and wrap it in arrowroot cloth. Dry a layer and wrap a layer until you cut it with a knife, and the mallet makes a metallic sound, but it does not crack, so it is qualified.

In this way, the lance was not only soft and elastic, but also relatively lightweight, and the long lance of the second zhang was about the same weight as the carbine of seven or eight feet, so that the knight could charge into battle with the lance in one hand. The elasticity of the lance ensures that the lance can be bent to release the momentum generated by a high-speed impact after stabbing the target, without injuring the knight's wrist.

This long, elastic and light horse lance is simply a sharp weapon for cavalry warfare, and when the opponent's seven-foot horse gun could not reach Chen Dexing, it had been swept to the ground by Zhang Er's horse lance - this horse lance was five feet longer than the horse pistol!

If you were to find a similar cavalry in Europe, it would probably be the Polish knights (hussars) with hollow pikes. However, the hollow spear of the Polish Bird-Feather Knight was disposable, and it broke after piercing, so as to release the impact of the impact. The horse lance can be reused, and it is naturally a higher-grade horse weapon.

However, such a good horse weapon is extremely difficult to obtain, not to mention how much a lance costs, it is the process and time of this production, which determines that the horse lance is a military aristocratic weapon! Not at all what an ordinary soldier can equip. And it's not a real skill honed since childhood, just find a peasant uncle to practice for a few months and can't play with the horse lance, or honestly find a cheap horse pistol that you throw away when you run out.

If Chen Dexing can really build a steel armored cavalry of 3,000 people that can use horse lances to charge into battle, and then cooperate with bronze cannons, steel armored pikemen and Eight Banners light cavalry, it will be a matter of minutes and seconds to drive Kublai Khan out of the Central Plains, and then level the Tang Dynasty and destroy the Song Dynasty.

It's a pity that a strong heavy cavalry is not so easy to develop. There must be countless generals like Chen Dexing himself who play small and hone their martial arts or military aristocrats to appear. The reason why there was room for the popularity of horse lance in the early Tang Dynasty was because of the existence of the Longxungui group. The upper part was related to Long, and there were government soldiers below, which formed a powerful force in the early Tang Dynasty.

And Chen Dexing can now use the horse lance, because he is from Jiangmen, and this horse lance is an old antique handed down by his grandfather Chen Hushan - for Jiangmen, horse lance, good bow, and treasure knife are all the way to eat, and they can be passed down from generation to generation, and it is not okay to get it without care.

And he has also been trained as a general since he was a child, and he has practiced a battle kung fu on horseback, and in today's Ming army, his battle array kung fu can definitely be ranked in the top three! Only Guo Kan and Zhang Jiu can be compared. I saw him roar, and the second horse lance moved.

Facing the party Tartar, just when the lance was shaking, he stabbed and fell off the horse in a blink of an eye! With the elasticity of the lance, Chen Dexing jerked the lance out of the enemy's body, and then threw it fiercely, hitting the face of another party item Tartar, and snapped loudly, this party item Tartar was swept off the horse by a lance! Immediately afterwards, Chen Dexing used the power of the long lance rebound to return the lance to the circle, shook off the reins with his left hand and held the lance, and controlled the horse with only his legs. At the same time, he danced the lance with both hands, and greeted a party Tartar who rushed towards him, and in an instant, a bowl-sized blood hole opened on the face of this Tartar!

And Li Heng, who was chasing in the rear, was stunned when he saw this scene from afar.

Is this person Chen Dexing? How can you be so brave? The ability to ride and the marksmanship on the horse is simply the Batu of the three armies! (To be continued......)
