Chapter 345

"I remember that in the New Qin Dynasty, we fought the Huns with the King. Now, looking back, the cavalry is just like this. They fell into the gully, and then the duke raised his sword and slashed one by one!"

Qin He was a hundred people, and he was in charge of a team of 100 people. When he didn't drink, he didn't talk much. However, his soldiers were also veterans, and he always boasted to his brothers. The deeds of following the King of Wei to attack oars and crossing the river to fight the Huns were even more overflowing than the Yellow River.

After saying that, he asked Qin He who listened silently, asking him to testify for himself.

"Qin Dangbai, you don't believe it, let me tell me!"

Qin He nodded and regarded his promise. In fact, he was embarrassed to lie. He only said in his heart: "We were just recruited at that time. If we really caught up with that battle and made contributions, we would have been in charge of the first battalion long ago."

For example, their bosses, the Sima, who is in charge of a thousand men, are like this. The Wei army now has many factions. The old subordinates in the new Qin Dynasty claim to be the direct line, but the direct line is also divided into different levels: sooner or later, follow the order of the King of Wei, whether to participate in the main battle? Whether to make contributions? They are all important basis for ranking seniority.

Although it is slightly different from the facts, after all, after all, after hearing the story of the sect, and later stationed at the beacon tower and fighting with the Huns' rangers several times, Qin He is indeed not unfamiliar with the cavalry.

Are there any cavalry in this world that is more powerful than the Hu cavalry?

Not to mention the remnants of the Yueqi camp, whose status has plummeted in the Wei army. Judging from their combat achievements, it seems that it is not difficult for infantry to fight cavalry.

"The Longyou Cavalry should be between the Hu Cavalry and the Yue Cavalry Camp?"

But when he was in the battle, when the soldiers were feeling the trembling on the ground and swallowing their saliva, Qin He calmed down on his face, but he was also quite nervous.

They were in the rear of the array, and the soldiers on both sides were still gathering in a hurry. The enemy did not fight before the formation, and they killed them without morality. The scene was a little chaotic for a while.

Qin He climbed up the Wugang car that was given to them and looked up high. His eyes passed the densely packed Qianshou and the black gang in front of him. He could see the enemy cavalry like a blizzard, rolling from the west.

“What’s wrong.”

He spit out the dead grass roots chewing in his mouth to relieve anxiety, and his eyes were a little surprised. Although Qin He was far away, he also saw that this cavalry was completely different from the Hun cavalry: it was not as light as the Hu cavalry, with bows and arrows as the main weapon, and it was rushing and shooting, coming and going quickly.

Instead, they gathered together, and more than a thousand cavalry formed a formation and rushed over. There were vests in the front row, mostly with spears and swords as weapons.

When we arrived more than a hundred steps away, the Longyou Cavalry was not stopping, but instead accelerated the horse speed and continued to rush forward, rushing straight towards the edge of the right wing of the Wei army!

This was an encounter. When the Wei army first arrived, the carriages they brought were not arranged properly, the array was still scattered, and the gullies could not be dug, and the antlers were not enough to be placed. The soldiers in front who stood together hurriedly at the drum beat had time to shoot two waves of crossbows. As soon as they raised their spears, they were rushed into the formation by the cavalry!

The long spear thorn broke off on the horse armor, and the violent impact caused the man to fall over. The cavalry of the good family concentrated on attacking the first battalion. The array of hundreds of steps was attacked and suddenly fell into chaos.

The enemy cavalry's offensive was rapid and there was no time for people to think. The soldiers in front were stunned, and the soldiers behind were also a little confused. This was the first time they had a large-scale cavalry head-on battle. Even if the commander asked for his fate, the matter would still be caught off guard when it came to an end.

Thousands of people were in chaos when the camp was ridden by the good family. The tall horse dressed in garments looked like a monster. The frightened Wei soldiers began to run back.

A collapse of one point can lead to a line and spread to the entire surface. If it were half a year ago, I would be afraid that a big defeat would occur like a rolled-up bead curtain. If the defeat in the front, the one behind would also collapse and escape. But this time, the array behind was stabilized!

The soldiers who recovered from their senses set up their spears and aimed at the Liang family of Longyou who had won the victory and wanted to continue to sync with each other, and also aimed at the retreating robes that were in a panic way.

"If you dare to turn around and run, you will be killed without mercy!"

"Brother Bing, follow me and move forward! Make up the gap!"

As the crowd was crowded, Qin He heard the loud shouts of the army Sima, and also saw the lieutenant's flag shaking, asking them to pass from the side, and change the back formation to the front formation, and drag the future cavalry of the good family into the melee!

But the good children of Longyou were also clever. After they succeeded, they immediately rode away. The horses died even rode together with their companions, galloped and shot, retreated one by one, leaving only dead horses on the snow.

This attack was extremely tragic. At least hundreds of Wei soldiers were killed on the spot, more than 200 injured, and only more than ten of the good family cavalry died in battle, and the injured barely retreated - there were thousands of servants behind them, one mile away to meet them.

"No chasing is allowed, withdraw it, it's important to set up a formation!"

Qin He and the others had already pushed the Wu Gang car and rushed to the front row to replace the heavy losses.

Qin He lowered his head. The snow was not white at all, it was very dirty. The yellow soil, the red blood was filthy, like a painting.

In front of him was a dead horse, with a vest covering its chest and face. At least three or four spears were broken when they stabbed it, and only one was deeply penetrated into the junction of the chest and the chicken's neck. But the horse was not dead, and even stepped on a fallen Wei Zhu, whose hooves were stained with blood and intestines.

But it still fell down, a mouth broke on its neck, and the blood was drained. It was its owner who ended its life with a dagger.

"This horse's armor is better than human."

Qin He touched the exquisitely crafted outfits. He didn't know much about it. He only knew that iron and skin were good, and the woven was even more delicate. The thin pieces of armor were arranged together, which gave him a cold and solemn beauty. I wonder how many months and years it took for dozens or hundreds of farmers and craftsmen in the manor to make it?

He raised his head, looked at the thunder attack and took advantage of the failure of the Wei army to surround him and quickly retreated, leaving only the figure of the enemy with muddy horses. He squeezed into a cold sweat and said secretly:

"Compared with them, the Huns are nothing!"

"The strongest cavalry in the world is the Liang family in Longyou? "

...

The Liang family's attack on the right wing end suddenly and simply scared the Wei army's troops.

The formation was raided before it was arranged, and it's over!

But as the commander of tens of thousands of people on the right wing, the Censor Jing Dan was not panicked. He knew that this was an enemy's tentative attack while the enemy took advantage of his own foothold and also undermined the morale of the Wei army.

Looking at their calm retreat, Jing Dan couldn't help but sigh: "The strongest cavalry in this world is the Youzhou Tuqi in Shanggu and Yuyang, but the good family cavalry is not much inferior, but it can be the second."

Although there were King Wuling, Hu clothing and cavalry, the cavalry during the Warring States Period were only auxiliary wings of the army, doing miscellaneous work such as cutting off food and chasing the remaining enemies - of course, the Yueqi Camp can only do this kind of thing now.

In the early Han Dynasty, the old tactics of fighting civil war in the past were not working. Although there were many different opinions on the shame of Bai Deng, it was certain that the Han soldiers were taught to be human beings by strange tactics. After learning from the pain, they began to raise horses and engage in cavalry.

But no matter how you train it, it is impossible for Chinese riders to be able to sprint. You have to distinguish between the Huns who rode sheep at the age of three and five, and they are the difference between them. They are to abandon the strengths and win the weaknesses.

Since I couldn't play with the cavalry, I used a tactic that could leverage the advantages of the Han army's strong armored blade: rush cavalry!

The cavalry was said to be able to conflict with the military formations. At first, it was just a "horse-riding infantry". Horses were tools to bring closer distances, with the purpose of launching a hand-to-hand battle with the Huns. By the time of Wu of the Han Dynasty, they had transformed from the vassal of the infantry and the vassal of the chariot into the core of the army. They could be riding and shooting at the distance, and could be attacked by infantry wars at close range.

Huo Qubing was the most skilled in this move. He rushed to the rear of the Huns several times, dazing the Huns for a whole generation.

The last battle of Huo Qubing was the left division of the Xiongnu and Fenglangjuxu. The army was dominated by Youzhou and Bingzhou people. Today, the Youzhou Tuqi is the most authentic Tuqi that inherited the Huo Cavalry's tactics. Since the new dynasty, it has been dealing with the Xiongnu and Wuhuan outside the border for many years.

Although many of the ancestors of the six county children of Longyou followed Huo Qubing as his general and captain, it is hard to say how many bonds there are after Huo Qubing shot Li Gan. The cavalry of the good family learned more from the Western Qiang.

The Western Qiang and the Han people in Longyou live in mixed places. Their soldiers are long in valleys and shorter than flat grounds. The most famous thing is that they are brave enough to strike and attack the cavalry whenever they have disagreements. This is the effect of the cavalry of a good family, and today they have seen their courage with their own eyes.

Knowing yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Jing Dan personally led the Youzhou Tuqi to fight in Shanggu. He knew the advantages of Tuqi and his weaknesses very well!

"I can only hope for a single rush, not lasting!"

...

The central army of Wei army chose a small hill with a slightly higher terrain to clearly see the situation on the entire Zhouyuan battlefield. When the Liang family cavalry launched a raid on the right wing, the fifth reunion could see clearly.

"King, the third right wing Arctic Camp almost collapsed..."

Zhang Yu and others beside Wu Lun advised him not to stand under the dangerous wall, or to retreat to the deserted village behind him and wait for the war to end.

"Who said they collapsed?"

But he was scolded by the King of Wei, and the fifth reincarnation looked at the battlefield again. The right wing was trying hard to adjust. The soldiers in the back row made up for the gap in the front row, and there was no situation of collapse at a touch or running for a large scale. The battle for more than half a year has not been in vain.

"It's good to be assaulted by enemy cavalry in an encounter."

The fifth reun also paid attention to the enemy's movements. Unlike Jing Dan's simple and clear judgments, the things that the fifth reun thought were much more complicated.

"Although the cavalry of the Liang family in Longyou are the best among the Central Plains cavalry, in my eyes, their weaknesses are so far away... Without high bridge saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes, such cavalry can still rush up, so I can only praise the brave and fearless."

The fifth reunion now uses the imperial saddle. The little saddle that the queen gave him as a gift before going north to join the army. It was a low bridge saddle. The middle part was obviously concave, but its ends were still very flat, which was different from the tall saddles on both ends seen in later TV series and later generations.

Although it is better than the original saddle pad, it still cannot stop shaking violently. Therefore, at the moment when the rushing cavalry attacked, not only did it knock a lot of Wei soldiers away, but even the knights on the horse would fly out and fall heavily in front of the enemy.

Horseshoes do not exist, but the Fifth Reunification first promoted this item in the Wei army. Even if the wood is nailed on it, it can alleviate the wear of the four hooves of cattle and horses and reduce the chance of them being injured and dead. In an era when livestock are precious, this is a good deal.

The Longyou cavalry horses on the opposite side did not have such preferential treatment. Even if they were cherished by good families, they only rode pack horses when they were not fighting, so they were left empty-handed with the army. However, the roads were rugged and the snowy days in winter, the horses were much more expensive than people. I am afraid that thousands of horses would die or lose their combat effectiveness...

"The horses that are still alive in Longyou are probably thinner than in the autumn."

There is no forage in winter, and Youfufeng cannot store hay in advance. He can only let the war horses feed on wheat beans. A horse has to eat food for at least five people. So many horse mouths are afraid that Wei will be frustrated. One of the major reasons for their retreat is that they are afraid of being cut off by Xiao Geng, but also due to logistical difficulties, right?

If there is no decisive battle, the Longyou horse will lose most of it, so it would be better to take a gamble... Wei Cui probably thought so.

Needless to say, stirrups are only single-sided stirrups, and even a knot is hung to facilitate the quick horses during wartime. The Fifth Reun heard that the good children of Longyou, who claim to be superb riding skills, even considered hanging single stirrups under the saddle as a shame, and mounting horses without stirrups as an excellence. Therefore, when they attacked, they not only had to hold spears and halberds in their hands and waved their ring knives, but also had to be distracted to make their legs tightly clamp on the horse's belly.

Wu Lun said secretly: "Although the Liang family's son is a full-time soldier, he lacks the stirrup as an immediate foothold, and his legs cannot rely on the force horizontally."

"Once the charge battle falls into a close-range battle between people and horses, when the horse stops moving, he is besieged by infantrymen, he will be at a disadvantage!"

"The Yueqi Camp is so confident that it charges, and is killed by two thousand people in Lailaishe and is overwhelmed by the horses?" The fifth reunion also began to insult Yue.

The Longyou Cavalry's tentative attack effect was good, and they might be even more inflamed next. The fifth reunion ordered: "Send the order so that the three armies can know."

"The third song of the right wing defeated thousands of enemy cavalry attacks, killed too much, stabilized the position, and each person bounty one cake!"

It was another old-fashioned gold offensive, and the fifth reunion was very generous. Anyway, he was deeply influenced by consumerism culture, and had never raised pigs and had seen pigs running. In the future, there were ways to cheat the golden cake from the soldiers... no, it was taken back...

By the way, use false news of "excessive killing and injury" to tell the three armies: the enemy cavalry is not scary.

The main force of the Long army, the sixteen powerful infantrymen, had entered the battlefield, and the flags were flying, gathering five miles away, and the cavalry slowly retreated and arranged on both wings.

The Wei army also recovered from the panic just now, and the chariots pushed forward, and the formations were neatly arranged.

It was clearly a cold weather, but the fifth reunion only felt a little hot. This battle was a major review of his own field combat capabilities:

"The best cavalry in the world, the good son of Longyou who is good at synapsis."

"I met the Wei soldiers who were good at stationing."

"Is it your spear tip or my shield hard?"
