Section 3 Cavalry Combat
Since going to the island, Huangshi has requisitioned some horses, and before leaving, he rushed to General Yao's camp to take a batch of war horses, and politely declined General Yao's kindness to send troops. When leaving Juehua, Huangshi handed over the unified command to Zhao Yinggong and asked him to be ready to accept the wounded soldiers, in addition, Huangshi also asked Zhao Yinggong to prepare manpower to prepare to assist in the defense of field fortifications, although the situation is very bad to this point, the possibility is very small, but it must not be guarded against.
Behind him was the herald holding his banner, more than 100 cavalry under Huang Shi lined up, with him as the midpoint, lined up in a long snake formation, they followed behind Huang Shi and slowly urged the mount, and in the process of continuous addition, they always maintained this formation, and rushed straight towards a group of Houjin cavalry in the distance.
"Hong Antong. Yellow Stone cried out without replying.
"The subordinates are here. The captain of the internal guard who followed Yellowstone immediately responded in a deep voice.
"Zhang Minghe. ”
"The lowly office comes after the adults. The battalion officer of the Xuanfeng battalion held the horse lance with one hand, and shouted majestically and loudly.
Most of the Ming troops who fled to the city of Ningyuan were cavalry, and they ran around the city while desperately shouting to open the door of the city, and the Houjin cavalry chasing after them did not seem to be much, and the formation was scattered, completely unprepared for battle. They chased after them in such a chaotic manner until the cavalry of Immortal Island rushed close before anyone noticed them.
Yellowstone's elbow tightened, his sword in his right arm formed a straight line, pointing straight ahead, and the mount under his crotch ran up, the wind whistling through the sides of his helmet, mingling with the dense sound of horses' hooves. The small number of enemy troops in front of them seemed to be a little hesitant, but many Houjin cavalry still slowly gathered, gave up the pursuit, and began to form a formation. It seems to be a hedge with the Ming army.
"It's too late to build a slave, they're too late to react!" Huang Shi made a judgment for his opponent in his heart, and he struggled to clamp the horse's belly, and the inspired war horse rushed forward with all his strength. Zhang Minghe, Hong Antong and the other officers also followed closely behind Huangshidi and kicked their mounts under their crotches hard. They also have at least one mount more prominent than the average internal guards.
The Houjin army, which was lined up in formation on the opposite side, saw that the Ming army was already roaring, and seemed to know that there was no more time to concentrate, and they began to reverse the addition face to face, and all of them waved their sharp blades at the Ming army. The sound of the wind in his ears was even louder, Huang Shi liked this feeling of galloping very much, he stared at the approaching enemy troops, and shouted again without squinting: "Hong Antong, Zhang Minghechong!"
"Your subordinates obey your orders. ”
"Humble obedience, my lordship. ”
Echoes rang out almost simultaneously from the left and right sides. Huang Shi casually put down his mask, and then heard two more shouts, one after the other: "Kill Jiannu." ”
"Kill Jiannu. ”
After shouting, the two also put down the masks on their helmets, and the response quickly spread across the entire Ming army front, and all the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army used their strength to shout: "Kill Jiannu." Then he dropped his mask and rushed towards his opponent with the officers in front of him.
Rushing to the front, Yellowstone clutched the hilt of his sword tightly and his upper arm was perpendicular to the horizontal. The tip of his elbow against his helmet is pointed to the sky. The upper arm was back behind him hard, ready to slash with all his might.
The cavalry equipment of Changsheng Island is a one-handed saber, in addition to holding the horse lance, Zhang Minghe and his cavalry, the officers and soldiers of Changsheng Island behind Huangshi all made the same movements as Huangshi. This cavalry action was also He Dingyuan's assassination, although it was the most lethal means, but He Dingyuan thought that it was difficult to accurately complete this action on a fast staggered horse.
In the past, in the practice of Changsheng Island, He Dingyuan himself could not do four out of ten accurate assassinations of people, so he strongly advocated that sword splitting was the sharp weapon of cavalry confrontation. He Dingyuan believes that the hit rate of knife slashing is at least three or four times higher than that of spear stabbing, at least he himself is almost 100 hits. And with the power of the wrong horse at that moment, the knife slash also has the power to kill and disable, at least it can make the opponent lose the ability to fight immediately, so instead of pursuing the use of a gun to pierce people, it is better to use a knife to cut the affordable.
He Dingyuan's evaluation is similar to the statistics of Changsheng Island. Most cavalry slash hits more than three times as well as spear stabs in high motion. And another disadvantage of using a gun is that when the officers and soldiers of Changsheng Island, who have less actual combat experience, face the test of life and death. It may be more uncontrollable and reckless than the Houjin army, and stab the gun in his hand prematurely, which will further reduce the accuracy of the weapons of the cavalry of Changsheng Island.
Yellowstone's idea of army building is to train a large number of soldiers who can be used cheaply and sustainably to consume, rather than a few elites with amazing skills. Since He Dingyuan's stabbing hit rate can't reach forty percent, Huang Shi set the training goal of the cavalry of Changsheng Island at the level of sword splitting, which can reach about fifty percent, so that as long as the opponent's army is not a fierce general of He Dingyuan's level, the exchange ratio of Changsheng Island will not be compensated, and if the opponents are all soldiers of He Dingyuan's level...... So even if the exchange is lost, what is the loss?
The bigger problem is that the hit rate of the spear stabbing war horse is relatively high, but this is not afraid, as long as the opponent does not stab the cavalry, there will be a chance to cut off his head, no matter how you calculate it, you will not lose money. Usually Yellowstone also often rode a horse on the training ground, cutting off the head of a scarecrow, although he did not train like an ordinary soldier
The soldiers worked so hard, but after such a long time, Huangshi was confident that the hit rate of riding a horse and cutting people's skulls was not fifty percent, but also forty percent.
The two teams of cavalry lines approached the enemy on the opposite side, holding their own weapons and rushing to the front of Huangshi, holding his breath and staring closely at the cavalry spear in the opponent's hand. Closer, closer, I saw the tip of the spear flash, far away, before Huangshi had a chance to swing the knife, as a chest stab. Yellowstone dodged the blow with one side of the body, and then roared and swung his sword away, but the cavalry spear was too far away from his opponent as it slashed through his chest, and Yellowstone's longsword drew a large arc in vain in the air.
"It's really unpleasant. Huang Shi angrily pulled the reins, causing the horse to neigh, and quickly slowed down from the gallop, and the sword that had been rounded with all his strength just now missed, making his chest churn with blood and blood, and his arm felt empty, and he almost fell out of his mortar. He turned the horse's head at the same time. While shouting hurriedly: "Turn around, turn around, turn around." As soon as he did, he rushed towards his opponent again.
The cavalry around Huangshi also turned their horses' heads and followed, and several of the officers and soldiers who had taken off their hands also drew their spare sabers, shouted loudly again, and waved their blades to the back of their heads. The confrontation just now caused about ten Dongjiang officers and soldiers to fall off their horses. But two or three out of ten of the more than 60 opponents fell off their horses. Several of the Ming and Houjin armies had already gotten up and started fighting with spare weapons.
Huang Shi desperately urged the crotch mount and run, when the cavalry hedged, whoever was slower was more likely to be cut down, he understood this truth, the enemy army on the opposite side also understood that the remaining forty or so Houjin cavalry had also turned their heads, and bravely met the Ming army with many people.
When Huangshi attacked with his horse, the sword in his hand slashed in the air a few times, signaling the troops behind him to line up in a double formation, and now he deeply realized that it was compared to the scarecrow stuck in the ground and did not move. Enemies on horseback are still a little more difficult to cut. Desperately kicked the horse's belly a few times, Huang Shi forcefully slashed his right arm and long sword in the air a few large circles before carrying them to the back of his head, this time when he was staring at the opponent on the opposite side, Huang Shi even forgot to make sure that his subordinates had followed in time.
It was the enemy soldier just now, opposite him, Huang Shi's eyes locked on the slightly trembling spear tip, and his upper body remained motionless. Storing a sword or saber at the back of the head is also one of the standard movements of the cavalry on the Immortal Island. Originally, He Dingyuan advocated being eclectic. How to get used to it, but Yellowstone didn't think so, because he didn't have enough time to train cavalry.
Therefore, after each training or military exercise, Changsheng Island will record the results in detail, count the hit rate of various postures, and analyze them, and finally, for the existing average level of Changsheng Island, the hit rate of this posture is the highest in real confrontation training. At first, Huangshi and the staff officer couldn't figure out why this kind of action worked well, but they still ordered it to be promoted, and later the military exercises were carried out more, and Huangshi showed the reason: because in this way, the cavalry had no chance to use their sabers to block the opponent's attack. Otherwise, when facing a spear that stabs it, whether it will be stabbed or not, the knight always instinctively wants to use the saber to block, thus reducing the effect of the attack.
"Our tactical approach to Immortal Island has always emphasized bravery and aggressiveness. No matter what the type of troops, it is necessary to have a desperate approach and determination to attack, and this kind of combat that balances ferocity and accuracy is the most respected mode of warfare......" Huang Shi silently recited these words in his heart. This time, the cavalry spear on the opposite side has not moved, and Huangshi has not dodged...... You'll be able to swing your knife right away...... Finally, at this moment, the tip of the spear shook, and it pierced with great speed.
At this time, Huang Shi's gaze had already begun to move upwards, and he flashed instinctively, and at the moment when the two of them were in front of the stirrup, the long sword in Huang Shi's hand also swung out vigorously. This time, the two were very close, and the sword light flashed, and it was shrouded in the helmet of the golden soldier, and the golden soldier had no time to withdraw the spear, so the person desperately rushed forward.
As soon as the two horses staggered, Huang Shi saw his long sword on his opponent's helmet, and then there was a heavy stickiness in his hand, and the rushing horsepower almost took the sword away. "Good!" Yellowstone shouted, and then Yellowstone pulled the reins hard, holding his sword in front of his eyes, squinting at the drops of blood rolling down from above.
"It's so exciting. The blood stains on the sword's body made Huang Shi laugh, and the moment he staggered with death the two times just now, he felt a chill in his heart, and the hairs on his whole body were nervous and stood on end. After hitting the target with his sword this time, his chest was suddenly relieved, as if a person who was about to drown suddenly breathed a breath of air.
In the early hours of this morning, after hearing that Guan Ningjun had caused trouble again, Huang Shi was shocked for the first time, and he realized that he had a faint joy in his heart. Since going to Juehua Island, although Huang Shi has made compromises again and again for the sake of the overall situation, this definitely does not mean that he is very satisfied with playing this role. From the perspective of the interests of Changsheng Island, Huang Shi didn't want these generals who had spent a lot of money to maintain themselves in an accident, but emotionally speaking, Huang Shi really hoped that these two hundred and five would be a little ugly and embarrassing.
There is also a little woman who was rescued twice by him yesterday, not to mention that his guard officer also held a righteous hat to touch his moldy head. Yellowstone didn't think he was a hooligan, and he wasn't going to fight a little woman about his loyalty to the guards
Geng is concerned about public and private, and he can't find trouble with Hong Antong. So he barely suppressed his anger. The excitement in Huang Shi's heart when he saw the Jin Army's formation scattered outside Ningyuan City just now really can't be overstated--it can be regarded as finding a bunch of mongrels who can beat up the anger, I must flatten you to the blast!
After straining the horse, Huang Shi shook the long sword in his hand and turned back sharply. This time, about ten more people from the Ming army fell off their horses. But more than half of the Houjin soldiers were knocked off their horses. After the Jin army and the first row had not adjusted their posture, they had to face the second batch of sabers, and the knights of the Ming army in the back row could not only attack with all their strength because they did not need to guard against the counterattack of the Houjin soldiers, but also because most of the Houjin army was in a state of exhaustion, and the attack hit rate of the Ming army in the second row also increased.
There were less than twenty of the more than sixty Houjin cavalrymen left, and they did not turn around this time, but threw down their fallen companions and fled the battlefield. Yellowstone led the rest of the cavalry back on the run, as he swept past a group of men fighting on the ground. Huang Shi easily made a straight split, as simple as cutting a scarecrow in the past, the long sword in his hand slashed at the back of the head of a Houjin soldier who was back at him, and after the horse rushed back, Huang Shi took the long sword back to his chest to see the result, this time the blade was not only stained with fresh blood, but also some milky white slurry.
More than a dozen Houjin remnants did not look back and left the dust. The few standing on the ground were killed by the Ming army in the blink of an eye. Yellowstone's guards caught a number of unoccupied horses, some of the Ming officers and soldiers fell because of wounded horses, and a few of them were not injured, and they took the reins of the horses from friendly forces and rejoined the troops.
"Huang Jun Gate, Huang Jun Gate!"
After this group of Houjin troops fled, Huangshi immediately heard a loud shout in the distance, and then a large number of Ming troops rushed over to him. The wolf was unbearable, and he still shouted in his mouth: "The grace of Huang Junmen's life-saving will not be forgotten." ”
When Huang Shi heard this, he fixed his eyes and saw that it was not Jin Guan, but who was it? Before today, General Jin Shen had been on the battlefield twice. The first time was the Battle of Yaozhou, where he teamed up with Zhou Shoulian, Yao Youxian, and threw down Li Chengxian and Lu Zhijia and ran away. The second time was the last battle of Juehua. After he watched the battle of Huangshi carefully, he felt that the Dongjiang Army was nothing remarkable, and Ao Bai and his gang had climbed the cliff for a long time without making any movement, and they were easily killed by General Jin Shen, which made him feel that he used to look down on Jiannu.
When a few of them discussed privately yesterday, they felt that they were not officials below the fifth grade anyway, and Huang Shi basically had nothing to do with them. Even if Huangshi insisted on impeaching them, as long as they could win the battle before this, everything would be over, so they planned to deceive the Dongjiang Army's firecrackers.
After getting drunk and Zhang Minghe deceived his fire guns, the Jin Shen generals felt that since Huangshi could rely on more than a thousand fire cymbals to beat seven banners and add the Mongols, then it would not be a problem for them to add three hundred fire guns and their own thousands of three eyes to clean up some broken land, and the Jin soldiers would not be a problem. Today, they had planned to follow the method of Huangshi that day, and use a volley of fire to startle the horses, and then shoot indiscriminately to kill the Houjin army to the slag.
They were indeed lucky to have only met a flag, which was a good start, which made General Jin and his gang very happy. But the unfortunate thing happened that followed, and I don't know which dog just saw it, and when the Jin army came up to the ground, he fired a shot, and then the whole army blew up and shot out all the fire cymbals like a nest. The borrowed earth fire cymbal doesn't seem to be fully wielded because of the problem of adding medicine, and it seems that some people still use it as a large shotgun, and they stuff a lot of small projectiles into it.
As a result, before the smoke of the fire guns dissipated, Jin's cavalry was killed, and General Jin was defeated in a daze, and when he was clearer, he was already running in circles around Ningyuan Fort.
Huang Shi smiled at Jin Guan: "General Jin is okay, is he injured?"
"No, thank you Huang Junmen for caring about the last general. This is not polite, Jin Guan's body has been very uncomfortable these days, but the great achievement is in front of him, and he has been desperately supporting it. Today, Golden Crown was so unwell with his allies that he almost fell down several times before attacking with his allies. But he didn't expect that after running around Ning Yuanbao twice, he was even frightened and sweated profusely, and after the golden crown was full of illness, he flew away, and now he felt like he was twenty years younger.
"General Hu Shen is still ahead!" Jin Guan was surrounded by nearly a thousand cavalrymen who fled together, and when he fled halfway, Hu Yining disappeared.
A small number of Houjin warriors were killed on the spot, and all forty-two Houjin soldiers who fell off their horses were finally turned into dead bodies, while the Ming army only killed eight people, eleven seriously injured and incapacitated people were also helped up, and Ma Huangshi asked Jinguan to send some people to send them back to Juehua.
"No problem, wrap it in the last general, Huang Junmen, you can rest assured!"
The golden crown slapped his chest loudly, and at the same time, the golden cavalry that pursued them gathered not far away, and the golden crown snorted heavily, and the prancing horse galloped in front of Huangshi, waving his fist and shouting at the mountain where the Houjin army was:
"Jiannu! are you here to die?"
