Chapter 246: Incredible Tactics
The news that Jiannu was desperately attacking the west side made Liu Qi run wildly, and there were a full 10,000 cavalry around him.
The oncoming scouts kept gesticulating, this gesture let Liu Qi know the battle situation on the west side, and the meaning of this gesture was; Jiannu is besieging his own reinforcements, that is, the moat on the west side has been lost, and Jiannu has made a breakthrough.
The distance of a few miles is not far, but because it is a gallop, this is a huge consumption of the horsepower of the war horse, and it is not conducive to combat, but saving soldiers is like fighting fires, Liu Qi has no choice, he can only go up directly like this.
It was already a complete siege, the foot soldiers had gradually kept up, and the battle situation was very favorable to them, and this tenacious Ming army infantry phalanx was about to be defeated. Ahsan knows a statistic, as long as the losses reach 30%, once the battle situation is unfavorable, no matter how stubborn the army will collapse. Ahsan has always been very satisfied with this data, and he has not found an exception so far.
Victory is only a matter of time, and the huge casualties have made Ahsan's mood not very good, but now he is getting better.
Time passed little by little, except for the shouts and killings on the battlefield, Ah Shan, who was sitting in the town, did not receive the battle report that the Ming army was defeated or annihilated, and the time was delayed for too long, and his face became solemn.
Ah Shan couldn't calm down, so he stepped forward.
This is an amazing scene, this Ming army's infantry phalanx should have been about six or seven thousand soldiers at first, and now there are less than half of them left, to Ashan's shock, less than half of the Ming soldiers are still fighting. Although the second trench hindered the cavalry from galloping back and forth, it was shocking enough that a few thousand people could hold on to it until now without breaking up, not to mention, the array of this Ming army team was still clear-eyed.
The speed of the cavalry is amazing, countless war horses are rotating around these Ming soldiers, although there are non-stop Ming soldiers who are killed by the galloping cavalry, but the Ming soldiers who are attacked on all sides are not chaotic at all, and this phalanx has now become a circle array. As soon as a soldier falls, the circle will shrink, and it will always maintain the formation of the hedgehog formation.
Absolute disadvantage, absolute inevitable, too unreasonable! Ah Shan doesn't understand that these Ming army weishenme can hold out until now?
The people of Jianzhou followed the route of elite soldiers, and the strict hierarchy made the Jurchens brave and good at fighting. Even if defeated on the battlefield, the Jurchens rarely produced the usual rout of the Ming army. Discipline determines the success or failure of the battlefield, and even if it fails, the Jurchens will strive to achieve the least number of combat attrition. Relative to the Ming army, once defeated in the field. Loose military discipline can easily lead to rout, and for the Jurchens, who have a large number of cavalry, the results speak for themselves.
But now, the battle mode of these Ming troops has completely subverted Ah Shan's perception of battle.
What's the value of that? Do you want to fight to zuihou alone?
This is only a small part of the soldiers of Zhou Yuji's army, the previous muddy water battle, and the current battle for the trench also proved the bravery and toughness of Zhou Yuji's soldiers, and no one flinched
, If all Zhou Yuji's soldiers are like this, this is undoubtedly a meat grinder that is not afraid of death and keeps turning, Ah Shan doesn't know what a meat grinder is. But he had this feeling, and Ashan's hair stood on end involuntarily.
Is this the army? No, this is not an army, this should be a puppet of battle, these soldiers are made to fight. Life is more than fighting! In addition to the continuous fighting, there is only indifference in their eyes, they are indifferent to the death of their own people, and the death of the enemy is still indifference. They only have battle in their eyes.
Just when Ah Shan felt shuddering, the horse galloped over: "Lord Dutong, the cavalry of the Ming army was found on the east side. There are no less than 10,000 people, and the distance is two miles! ”
In the rolling yellow dust, Liu Qi came, and he came as fast as lightning.
The iconic leather helmet of the Jiannu cavalry has come into Liu Qi's eyes.
With the knife in his hand, Liu Qi stretched out the knife and pointed forward: "Adjust the direction!" Right Wing ~~"
The tactics were clear, Liu Qi had already seen his besieged comrades, and he was going to use the chisel tactic on the right flank to chisel through Jiannu's cavalry to make room for his besieged foot soldiers. The command was given, the speed of the war horse was slowly decreasing, and the entire cavalry corps of 10,000 people was adjusting the speed, and soon the ground began to tremble rhythmically.
This is the signal that the cavalry horses are walking on a cadence.
The cavalry corps of 10,000 people allowed the war horses to reach a consistent cadence in such a short time, what kind of deterrent power is this, Ah Shan's heart tugged. Strong! Very strong! It's too strong!
The biggest problem is that Zhou Yuji's cavalry is a naked and brutal collective impact, without an echelon, there is no reason to talk about it at all!
Only the strongest cavalry corps can do this, and only the strongest and bravest cavalry corps dare to collide with the enemy with a cavalry corps of 10,000 people. In Ah Shan's memory, he had never experienced such a cavalry battle, this was not a battle at all, it was completely fighting with his own cavalry, killing a thousand enemies must be self-inflicted with eight hundred, Zhou Yuji was arrogant and unreasonable!
The impact of the cavalry should be echelon, and it should constantly impact the enemy like a wave, and the cavalry in front of him completely subverted Ashan's view of shijie.
Ah Shan had confronted other Ming troops, as well as Li Zicheng's cavalry many times, and it was not a feeling at all, the Ming army was about to collapse at the first touch, and it would even rout without contact. Li Zicheng's army still has some combat effectiveness, but it is just okay, and it will also be defeated very badly in the face of the powerful Jianzhou Iron Cavalry. In recent years, the large-scale field battles of the Jianzhou cavalry have never been defeated (Ah Shan did not count Zhou Huchen's soy sauce in the northern capital), and today, Ah Shan seems to smell defeat. The queue of these Ming cavalry was too neat, and Ah Shan knew that a small number of his cavalry could do it, but a cavalry corps of 10,000 could do this, and Ah Shan couldn't do it.
Under the command of Ah Shan, a part of the cavalry was left to continue to contain the Ming army's foot soldiers, and his cavalry quickly formed a team to meet them.
The enemy army came up, and soon Liu Qi's cavalry turned into a horizontal formation, which occupied the entire space between the trenches, and the two huge cavalry corps began to meet each other in a brutal manner.
It's not that I think, but there is no way, with deep helplessness, Ah Shan rode and stood on a slightly higher mound, he observed the cavalry of the Ming army. This is a gray-brown torrent, except for the eye-catching red tassels on the top of the head, the clothing is completely different from the ordinary Ming army, there is no fear of fighting, this Ming army cavalry is not like any army of this era at all.
can only be described by bravery, and there is only this word in Ashan's vocabulary to describe Zhou Yuji's soldiers.
The cavalry corps on both sides were too large, they occupied all the space between the first and second trenches, this way of fighting could not be detoured, there was no possibility of tricks, and the collision of the two cavalry corps was inevitable.
In such a hot day, Ahsan suddenly felt a little cold. What can you do if you defeat this army of iron-blooded cavalry? How many of your own cavalry can you have left? How many of Zhou Yuji's footmen are behind? There are also artillery, firearms, and grenades, how can this shijie have an army like Zhou Yuji?
Ahsan was a little dazed. (To be continued......)
