Chapter 83: The First Battle of the Prairie (Part II)
Because this time it was more bumpy and hasty, and the hit rate on both sides was not high.
Zhao Ming really only had less than fifty brothers left on horseback, but there were about 200 cavalry on the opposite side.
"Kill!"
There was a low shout, which was quickly muffled by a dense shout.
The enemy horsemen let out a strange cry from their mouths, and the language was a bit like the local dialect and a bit like an ancient Mongolian charging cry.
Zhao Ming's eyes were staring at the front, and there was already an extra arrow in his back, which was the arrow shot by the opponent's rear row when the enemy cavalry was shooting, because it was necessary to take into account the friendly troops in the front row, and the opponent adjusted the angle of the arrow higher.
It can only be said that the other party is a group of old oilmen, very good at cooperating with horse archery, not only him, but only a very small number of brothers who are still on horseback have not been hit by arrows.
Even horses were hit by arrows, but fortunately they didn't hit the vital point, otherwise even men and horses would have suffered.
At this time, the posture of all the people in the Zhen Song Army was very low, and the knives in their hands were the kind with a certain arc.
Zhao Ming suffered a lot from this, and even the enemy cavalry on the opposite side was a curved scimitar.
And the blade of his ring-headed knife is exceptionally slender and straight, and the scimitar is far more effective than a straight knife on horseback.
This is because when the cavalry charges, it has a strong thrust, and even if the scimitar is bent, it can quickly break into the flesh and blood of the opponent with the impact of the horse.
And because it is a scimitar that pierces the human body, it is easier to pull it out, and because its arc will not hurt the user's wrist, after all, the reaction thrust is also particularly terrifying.
And the blade with an arc is more suitable for the first time to break through the enemy's formation, which is like many long-handled broadswords in ancient times, such as the Spring and Autumn Broadsword, that is, the structure of the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, which is back to the weight, but it is definitely a horse combat weapon.
But so what?
Looking at the distance getting closer and closer, the pair of fierce eyes under the other party's scarf.
Zhao Ming silently pulled his sleeve and wrapped his wrist and the handle of the knife quickly and casually.
What he's best at touching corpses is knife skills!
Ten meters! Eight meters!
Five meters!
When he came to the moment of five meters, Zhao Ming quickly stepped on the stirrup, and his body suddenly moved upward.
The body posture has not actually improved much, but the blade has been raised to the top, like a snow-bright banner rising one by one.
The enemy rider opposite him was slightly stunned, but the speed was too fast to think about it, so he habitually used the flank stab and slash, wanting to directly cut Zhao Ming off the horse with the help of equestrianism.
But Zhao Ming lightly pressed the horse's body, and his body only moved slightly to the side to the next area, and the blade he raised was one step faster than the other party, like a straight meteor slashing down in an instant.
From a distance, it seemed as if the other party had directly hit the head-on blade that slashed and fell.
Poof!
The blood rushed to the sky, the enemy rider and Zhao Ming flickered, the other party passed through a group of Zhensong army brothers, and no one else continued to slash, he fell on the horse's back softly, and finally fell off the horse with a bump.
One of his ears was cut off, and the blade of the knife tilted slightly as it fell, all the way to the side of his neck. It's as if it's slashed at a major artery.
If there are swordsmen in Qingning and Ningxia here, this is a horse tactic called kicking and dragging knives.
The swordsmen in the land of Guanzhong have long been integrated with hundreds of schools, and many people have a unique skill in swordsmanship when they go out.
Zhao Ming also touched such a corpse by chance, and found that this person rarely encountered opponents when he was fighting on horseback.
This knife technique grasps the timing, and the inertia of the horse, and the waist and abdomen are used to the extreme, and the movements are simple and crisp.
However, the other party finally died in the fight between the two knife bandits.
Zhao Ming didn't know that his sword technique was the core combat method of the famous Ma Jiajun in a few years.
The leader of the Ma family's army, there were two in the early days, the people of Ningxia in the northwest, and they were also divided into Qingma and Ningma.
Both armies fought fiercely and bloody.
Some of the others who become high-ranking generals rely on relationships to open the way with money, and these two are all killed with real knives and real guns.
From a local strong man to a handsome man known as the king of Qinghai, his strength is not strong.
The Ma Jiajun's kicking and dragging knife tactics also fought several tough battles with the Orientals, and dealt heavy losses to them.
Among them, the heavy shoulder and elbow are the key movements, and when charging forward, the center of gravity of the cavalry is often pressed very low, which will also press the knife in the hand to the height of the horse's pedal.
As long as the blade is not raised too early, blindly charging, and lowering the center of gravity will make it easier for cavalry to dodge the enemy's bullets.
In general, the core is the body forward, the arm to find a critical moment to raise the accumulation, with the help of the intersection with the other party, like the inertia of the car brake, the body is irrepressibly pressed forward, swooping down.
The rotation is about to transmit all inertia and force to the head of the knife, and the knife momentum of such a chop is like a thousand pounds of stone crushing down, no matter whether you are wearing a steel helmet or something, you have to be smashed in the head of the smashed.
The flesh and blood body even has to be broken with belt bones, it is better to say that it is to be cut than to knock and smash!
And solved the first person, Zhao Ming's wrist rotated slightly sideways, and the blade was dragged downward in the external rotation, and when he was about to reach the second person, he went up again, and when he fell, the knife fell.
Boom! ~
This is a young man, and his reaction is extremely fast, and he predicted that Zhao Ming's shot might be faster, so he reacted very quickly and pushed up.
With a crisp sound, the blade broke and the head slammed into the shoulder blade again.
Boom!
There was a muffled sound, and the sharp pain seemed to rush straight to the cerebral cord.
The young man's right shoulder collapsed, and the whole person was also sideways.
Zhao Ming didn't take care of this, and after that, the person continued to repeat the previous set of actions and continued to draw an external rotation.
The arms and wrists swing naturally while passing the person, and the horse speed is accumulating.
In the kick-and-pull knife strategy, the first knife is the key, but then the short-range charge is more adept.
It is almost a fusion of part of the northern martial arts theory and the idea of the ancient knife dragging.
The drag knife of the big knife is more suitable for cutting the enemy chieftain, and when the master is playing, the big knife drag knife is charged as long as the skill is exquisite enough, the opponent will die.
But the short knife is not good, the weight is not enough, the length is not enough, the inertia with the help of the help is naturally not enough, but the speed is fast enough, and the pedal drag knife is a chain of short accumulation drag knife technology that is suitable for the short knife.
And the young man's arm holding the knife just now was already weak and drooping because of the pain, and under the collision with the horses of the follow-up Zhen Song army, he had the heart to pull the reins to stabilize his body, but he still fell off the horse because of the pain.
This fall will lead to death!
Under the trampling of the horse's hooves, the crunch of bones sounded, and the young man was trampled before he had time to snort.
The battle continues, Zhao Ming is slashing the enemy, and the Zhensong army is also not inferior.
These enemy cavalry and cavalry may far surpass Zhao Ming and his party, but in terms of swordsmanship, the Zhensong army is really not much inferior.
There are many members of the Great Sword Society, and these people are extremely good at swordsmanship.
In addition, the brothers have gradually blended together since the time of Liu Dashuai, and they have discussed knife skills with each other and learned from each other.
It has been two or three years since they entered Shaanxi Province, even if they have not learned the knife skills in Guanzhong, they have seen a lot of fighting more and more cat and tiger pairs, and they have accumulated very deep knife skills.
