Volume 11 Zhang Gongbei Looks at the Sky Wolf Chapter 1042 Round Battle
It is difficult to describe the composition of the tactics of the steppe cavalry at this time, because they have too many choices.
When two thousand-strong teams galloped across the grassland and shot their own arrows, the decisive battle between the Naiban and the Kereh tribe finally began......
The Naiban warriors, who had fought against the Mongols for many years, were already very similar in tactics to the Mongols.
The soldiers on both sides were lined up in several horizontal formations, and the front was extremely wide, compared to the cavalry of the Qin army, they were too long, and the gap in the middle seemed so wide, and the formation was loose, and when it was impacted, it looked extremely messy.
The two rows of soldiers in front were wearing two layers of leather robes, some of them were wearing simple leather armor, they poured water on their bodies before the war, so that the protection was temporarily increased, with the strong physique of the steppe people, most of them were able to survive the damage to the body after doing so, and ensured that not too many soldiers would fall ill after the war.
With such a primitive and simple method, they temporarily had two rows of cavalry that could be regarded as heavy cavalry, and their ** horses galloped, and only shot arrows when they were very close to the enemy, and their accurate archery skills made their results remarkable.
Of course, the cavalry of the Nabarian tribe were much better in their bows and arrows than those of the Kreh tribe, and they would add a round of upward fire, and the cavalry of the Kreh tribe seemed to be accustomed to this, and when the loose and messy arrows fell, they clung to the horse's back, almost merging with the war horse, but it was surprising that many of them could still shake their bodies on the back of the galloping horse, dodging some of the sharp arrows that fell on them.
From time to time, warriors fell to the ground with arrows, but in a wide and loose formation. As long as they are not dead, they will be able to quickly turn over and run to their galloping companions, and will be pulled on the back of their horses in an instant.
Therefore, there was no salvo as disciplined as the Qin army, which hardly left any gaps, but the barbarians' upward firing had little effect.
When they got close enough, the arrows began to intensify, and at this time, the Mongol tactics made the eyes of the Qin army watching the battle shine again.
The back rows of Mongols pulled up violently. And suddenly entered the gap left by the two rows of cavalry in front, opened his bow and arrows, and almost in the blink of an eye, there was a dense fire.
Their precision of archery was evident at this time, and the barbarians, though the same was true, but they were obviously not as skilled as the Kereb in using such tactics, and they were only a moment slower before paying a very heavy price.
A barbarian knight rushing into the gap between the soldiers in the front row. Screaming and falling under the horses, almost all of them were critical arrows. Such a flat shot, when the Qin army soldiers are fighting, is almost unlikely, and if there is, it will also be carried out with a crossbow.
Because of such a close distance, he shot with a bow and arrow, and when the galloping horse charged forward, that is, he did not leave time to draw his sword and adjust his posture. It would be a disaster for the Qin soldiers to rush into the enemy formation like that......
But the response of the Mongols was different, and those ** warriors pulled out their scimitars and shouted the name of Immortal Heaven. Rushing towards the enemy, the Mongol warriors, who shot their bows and arrows, slowed down their horses again, and after another round of shooting. He hid behind his companions, and without even drawing his scimitar, he took his bow and arrows and rushed into the enemy's line with the warriors in front of him.
After that, they continued to shoot as many arrows as possible to kill and injure the enemy, and their precise archery skills also ensured that they would not let their prey escape most of the time, and of course, the most terrifying thing was that they wasted almost no time on their galloping horses looking for their targets.
Every time they let go of the bowstring, most of them would have an enemy screaming and they shot off their horses.
And the companions in front of them, wielding scimitars, did not stop cutting down the enemies who were rushing at them, and charged forward to protect the archers behind them.
Of course, the barbarians were not at all powerless, and from time to time the Mongol warriors were cut down, and when the Mongol warriors in front were killed, revealing the archers behind them, the result was almost doomed, but at this time, most of the Mongols seemed crazy and decisive.
If they are not dead, they can always see the Mongol warrior struggling to get up, picking up the bow and arrow, and as long as no enemy comes to kill him, he will be so warrior on the spot, pull the bowstring, shoot the arrows one after another, until the comrades who died in battle or were rushed over pulled back onto the horse.
The generals of the Qin army standing on the hill were dumbfounded, and they didn't know how to describe such a crazy and terrifying warrior, compared to the Qin army, these Mongol warriors really lacked the means to break through the enemy position in an instant and win like chopping melons and vegetables......
But such flexible cavalry fighting skills, and such a brave and ferocious fighting spirit, are enough to make the experienced Qin army generals also feel a little cold on their scalps, and they look at each other from time to time, and they can see the deep fear in each other's eyes.
"This is just a temptation, there's no need to pay too much attention to it...... Mu Huali's cold voice came, "The marshal once told me that the grassland cavalry will face off in an open place, and a hundred people will fight, no matter how elite the Qin soldiers are, if the tactics are right, the grassland cavalry can also slaughter the Qin army and return ......."
"Thousands of people will fight, the Qin army will be defeated, and once defeated, they will not be able to escape, most of them will be wiped out in the battle array, but the remaining grassland people will not be much ......"
"If it is a battle of 10,000 people, the Qin army will undoubtedly win, but it must not chase and suppress the remnants of the enemy, otherwise there will be many casualties and ......"
"If it is 20,000, 30,000, or even 100,000 cavalry against the battlefield, the Qin army will definitely be able to defeat the grassland cavalry, and the casualties will not count, but even then, there will definitely be countless fish that have escaped from the net......"
"You must keep in mind what the commander said...... But don't be discouraged, the Mongols have been at war for I don't know how many years, and what you see in front of you are the bravest warriors among the Mongols, and they have experienced more battles than you have experienced in your life......"
"You don't have to compare with them, just watch carefully, the way to fight the enemy, use the long, hit the enemy short, the final victor must be our own ......"
"What we are good at, what the enemy lacks, I think you must be very clear, especially after this battle, rest assured, with the presence of the commander, there will be no opponents of ours on the steppe, even if it is the Mongols, they will not be our opponents."
Several generals have been following under Mu Huali's command for a long time, but this is the first time that such a well-behaved and pure teaching has been heard.
couldn't help but hug their fists, "The last general thanks the general for his guidance and teaching." ”
The battle in the distance continues, and this kind of fighting is not destined to end in a short time, and no one will escape, whether it is the barbarians or the Mongols, they are doing their best to kill and injure their opponents.
The two formations staggered, left, and then reflexively continued to face the enemy, entangled, killed, the shouting and killing of the warriors of the two tribes did not stop for a moment, the sound of the horse's hooves seemed to be more and more chaotic, and gradually lost the horse, and the warriors of the two tribes finally stopped running around with their horses, but were fiercely entangled in one place.
The main formations on both sides were extremely quiet, in the eyes of the Qin army, it was a little weird, even if they had been told the tactics of the steppe people for a long time, but when they really saw it, they were still a little surprised, in their eyes, this was simply a meaningless war of attrition.
At this time, Sang Kun no longer paid attention to what Mu Huali was muttering to his Han subordinates beside him, but stared at the battlefield.
The expression on his face did not move, but he frowned from time to time, and he didn't know whether he was distressed by the casualties of the soldiers, or whether he felt that the war was unfavorable.
Over there, Mu Huali continued to explain to his subordinates, "After this, there may be another round, but ...... There are too few soldiers, it is estimated that there will be none, and then there will be a decisive battle, I don't think they will all be sent out, or mainly to harass, until the other party's military heart is shaken, it is the time for us to use us......"
"Actually, there's nothing to say, we can't learn such tactics, they are all realized by the Mongols in the fight, the most suitable is the Mongol warriors, the barbarians learn nondescript, so it is a loss, this group of soldiers left after the war must be the warriors of the Kereh Department undoubtedly ......"
"But general, looking at this day, it's such a way of playing, I'm afraid it won't be decided today."
"Yes, this is also a small number of people, if there are 10,000 people on both sides, it is not uncommon to fight for ten days and a half months, look at the sky today, the decisive battle should be able to fight for two days."
"General, if you want to see the last general, there are few barbarians, and you can't beat them, it's better to focus on entanglement, avoid the decisive battle, and wait until their reinforcements come, who can still run?"
"The barbarians are very arrogant on the grassland, and they have finally found an opportunity, and they may not retreat in front of the Kree, if there is no us, the battle of the Kree Ministry will be surrounded, with us, then it can be the same?"
"Yes, our Qin army is the best at fighting, and when the real decisive battle comes, as long as the Mongols are harassing on both flanks, we will definitely be able to defeat them with our troops............
I don't know how long it took for the sun to slip towards the west.
As the last of the Nabarian warriors was shot dead and the corpses were planted on their horses, the cheers of the Mongol warriors were finally remembered on the battlefield, and hundreds of bloodied and exhausted Mongols, brandishing scimitars and bows and arrows, shouted to their heart's content.
They jumped off their horses one after another, searched for loot in a messy battlefield, and killed the enemy who did not lose their breath.
This is the famous round battle on the steppe......
