Chapter 827: Cavalry

On the battlefield, momentum is important.

Once the momentum is seized by the enemy, no matter how many troops there are, they will not be able to exert their combat effectiveness, not to mention that the vast majority of these tens of thousands of Japanese troops are farmers who cultivate the land, and the real professional soldiers are only a few thousand. Once you see that things are not good, you will directly numb your claws.

Obviously, the number is several times that of the Ming army, but the momentum of the encirclement and annihilation battle is not played by the other party.

I saw less than 10,000 Ming soldiers entering the flock, and they were blinding, breaking and crushing the phalanx one after another, and the Japanese army that was beaten fell into the water and had no power to parry.

The Japanese army did not do their best, and the three of them organized several counterattacks, and even the big friendly army, which has always been known for its cunning, went up, but unfortunately the difference in strength was too great, and all of them could not escape the fate of being defeated......

Seeing that the Japanese army was about to retreat, smoke and dust suddenly rose from the northeast, and the cavalry team of the general's mansion finally arrived.

Japan's feudal system determined that it was impossible for the local tyrants to have a formed cavalry team, and only the Zhengxi General's Mansion had a cavalry team known as the 'five hundred people'.

This is a sign of the authority of the Zhengxi General's Mansion, usually Prince Huailiang is only used as a guard of honor, this life-and-death battle, he finally took out his family background.

Originally, under the leadership of Akashi Takekan, the general of the Shogun's Mansion in the west, they were ambushed on Mt. Mikazuki to the north to prevent the Ming army from landing on Shika Island. As a result, there was no movement for a long time, but the main force fought fiercely on the frontal battlefield in the south.

After a short period of weighing, Akashi Wuguan decided not to continue to wait stupidly, and immediately led the cavalry troops to reinforcements.

First, once there is a rout on the frontal battlefield, there is no point on his side no matter what. Second, after all, this battle was led by Prince Huailiang, and the three of them and other Kyushu tyrants were already full of complaints, and if the Western Army did not move, it would completely anger them and make the contradiction out of control.

As a result, he really came, and joined the warband just in time for the most critical time.

Although the Japanese horses were about the size of donkeys, they were descendants of Mongolian horses, and they were full of endurance and impact power, and the Japanese cavalry with full armor and swords in their hands launched an attack, which was still not a flesh and blood body to contend with.

The Ming army was too familiar with cavalry, and Wang Bi did not dare to hold it up, so he immediately ordered his subordinates to stop and form a formation on the spot. Shields and spears were used to defend against the Japanese cavalry.

At the same time, fire was fired at the Japanese cavalry with firearms.

Chixing Wuguan is worthy of being a veteran of the battlefield, and he quickly judged that he couldn't bargain with the Ming army. Of course, it was also because the cavalry was too precious, and he was reluctant to give away his head. After killing a dozen cavalrymen, he decisively blew the whistle and changed the shock to a circle.

The Japanese cavalry rode their horses and ran around the Ming army, and at the same time put away their swords, took off their bows, and shot arrows at the Ming army from a distance.

Not to mention, this really makes the Ming army very tricky. It was difficult for their guns to hit the fast-moving Japanese cavalry, but the Japanese cavalry could always shoot at the Ming troops in the formation through projectiles, causing them casualties.

"What the hell did you learn from the Mongols!" Wang Bi took a sip hard, the stinky Tartar couldn't beat Little Japan, and he also let the family learn the moves!

He was really right, a hundred years ago the Mongols used this trick to make the Japanese suffer. The cavalry of Little Japan, imitating the Mongols, also played the tactics of mounted archery.

In any case, before the musket range surpassed the bow and arrow, the infantry was too passive to fight the cavalry.

"Retreat!" Fortunately, Wang Bi, a veteran general, was always sober-minded, and immediately ordered the army to maintain the formation, slowly retreated to the stone wall, and got rid of the entanglement of the Japanese cavalry with the help of the cover of the mine-throwing soldiers on the wall.

Chixing Wuguan wanted to lead the army to approach several times, but the Ming army on the wall turned over on his back with a gourd flying thunder, and the war horse panicked, and finally did not dare to step forward again.

However, the decline of the Japanese army was stopped, and seeing that the Ming army was repulsed by the cavalry of the Western Army, the cheers of 'onboard and onboard' resounded throughout the four fields.

The retreating trio were able to gather their troops and regroup, preparing to take advantage of the situation to recapture the Protector God Wall (remnant).

~~

However, the Japanese army did not rejoice for long, and saw that the large army of the Ming army, which had been blocking the ruins, suddenly moved to the left and right, making way for the middle passage.

Chixing Wuguan suddenly discovered that the large and small gravel all over the ground had been cleaned up by the Ming army, and a smooth passage appeared.

The Japanese thought that the Ming army was about to advance the cannon again, but they heard the sound of horses' hooves on the ground.

Then I saw a large group of Ming cavalry, pouring out from the passage!

The leader of the general rode on a red high-headed horse, his eyebrows were like lying silkworms, his long beard was fluttering, and he was mighty and handsome, it was Wuchang Bohu Quan!

He raised the mace in his hand and shouted: "Kill the widows!" ”

He took the lead in the charge, and the Ming cavalry followed closely and roared towards the Japanese cavalry.

"His grandmother's, do you really think Lao Tzu can't do anything about you?!" Wang Bi slammed his knife on the ground and smacked hard.

At that time, the Mongols were able to cross the sea with a large fleet of cavalry on inferior sand boats urgently built in the south of the Yangtze River. How could there be no place for horses on the giant ships of the Ming army today?

It's just that at the beginning of the wall-breaking battle, there was no place for cavalry. Wang Bi asked Hu Quan's cavalry not to get off the ship first, wait for the wall to be broken, and then start to land.

In fact, the wave of assault led by Wang Bi was just because the Japanese phalanx was too close to the stone wall, so he pushed them away and left room for the cavalry to rush up.

The cavalry charged in front, and the infantry followed up to harvest, which was the best tactic of the Ming army, not the other way around.

~~

When Hu Quan led two thousand Wuchang guard cavalry to charge, the more than 400 Japanese cavalry of Chixing Wuguan were immediately dwarfed.

Not only are they at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, but the size of the war horses is also a head shorter than the war horses of the Ming army.

The result of his short legs and short legs is that he is inferior to the opponent in speed, and Akashi Takeshi commanded the 'five hundred people' to retreat desperately, trying to pull away the distance. But he was chased closer and closer by Hu Quan's cavalry, and in the blink of an eye, he entered the land of a stone's throw.

The Ming cavalry immediately drew their bows and arrows and shot at the Japanese at a gallop. Under Boss Zhu's high standards and strict requirements, only those who are eligible to be cavalry can be qualified to be cavalry if they shoot at least seven out of ten targets. Excellent Ming cavalry can even shoot arrows, otherwise how can they fight with the Mongols?

Wu Changwei's elite cavalry made the Japanese relive the horror of being dominated by the Mongolian cavalry again, and after a volley, more than 200 people and horses were killed......

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Chixing Wuguan simply didn't escape, turned his horse's head and pulled out his sword, led the remaining Japanese cavalry, and launched a final charge towards the Ming army.

The soldiers of the Ming army hung up their bows and arrows one after another, drew their maces and rushed up to meet the enemy, like a flood sweeping by, drowning more than 200 horsemen in an instant.

After the Ming army rushed through, only the dead bodies of the Japanese cavalry were left, and Akashi Wuguan was among them, and the gorgeous armor on his body had been trampled and deformed, and it was covered with blood......

The three of them looked at it, and this was a fart. The infantry alone can't beat it, and now the more terrifying cavalry is coming, and how many people are given in vain.

Hurry up and get out......
