Chapter 251 Advanced tactics of heavy cavalry
The general who was in charge of the robber's rear was commanding the withdrawal at the city gate. Two thousand canned armored heavy cavalry armed to the teeth suddenly rushed out from behind the enemy, and cut off the retreating soldiers in half.
Just thinking about sending troops to rescue him, the Daxia garrison, who had been in the dark behind, saw the advantage, and a heavy cavalry rushed out.
Tian Xing had been staring at the Great Cannibal chasing the rear troops for more than ten miles. He was delighted when he saw the arrival of friendly troops.
However, the cannibal battle was old, and the two teams of thousands of people came forward calmly. Although they seemed to be at a disadvantage, they resisted reinforcements and their defenses on this aspect were not affected at all.
This enemy has experienced many battles and is experienced. Although he can't defeat his own side when fighting head-on, he has no chance to take advantage of it. Tian Xing sighed and was about to shake his head and say something, but his friendly troops emerged and even cut through the great cannibal team.
Being separated from the city by the enemy, the troops behind the hall, which was finally in chaos. Tian Xing was overjoyed, inserted the steel mace behind him, picked up the horse spear hanging on the saddle bridge, raised it, his legs were ready to exert force, and turned his head to look at the central army.
Shao Shude's central army was horned without any surprise and immediately sent out an attack signal. It was obvious that Shao Shude had no problem in exploring the fighter's ability. Tian Xing waved his horse spear, clamped his legs, and rushed out first.
Tian Xing's heavy cavalry was formed earlier, wearing traditional chain armor, and his ability to resist bows and arrows was slightly worse than that of canned armor. However, at this time, the chaotic enemy could no longer organize a strong attack.
The heavy cavalry team with Tian Xing as the arrow was inserted into butter like a quick knife, quickly entering the rear of the cannibals.
Before the rescue troops of the Great Cannibal General were sent out, two heavy cavalry units, one from north to south, and the other from southeast to northwest, entered the enemy's formation, and soon penetrated through. The troops behind the Five Thousand Halls were quickly divided and failed to form a formation.
The armored heavy cavalry has fifty or sixty kilograms of armor and holds heavy horse lances or cavalry rifles. They can be majestic on the battlefield for no more than half an hour, so they generally cannot attack easily.
But once the clenched fist is swung out and hit the infantry team that is not in formation, these iron armored tanks from the cold weapon era are invincible, and half an hour is enough to beat the enemy to pieces.
Seeing that the front was killed Liang, Hu Weiyong shouted loudly, "Boys, can you still fight?"
"Can fight!"
The sound made by two thousand red-bearded strong men in the iron armored mask was neat and strange. With a wave of the old Hu horse spear, two thousand heavy cavalry rushed towards the gathering place of the enemy.
In a flash, General Dashi at the gate of the city saw that the situation had become uncontrollable. When he went out at this time, the spearmen who could control the heavy cavalry had no chance to line up, which would become a tactic of adding fuel to the enemy and delivering vegetables.
If the enemy takes the opportunity to rush into the city, everything will be over.
General Dashi immediately ordered people to close the city gate, and soldiers went to the city to prepare for war. The soldiers under his command whistle sounds of different lengths and allowed the soldiers outside the city to "attack freely."
Free attack means running away from their own lives. The low-level generals from Dashi outside the city immediately gave up the unrealized effort of rectifying the formation. With a command, the soldiers scattered and ran all over the mountains.
The enemy without order would be better killed. Hu Wei used the two generals, Hetian Xing, to show off his power and led his men to rush across the plain in front of the city gate, and specifically picked places with a large number of people to kill. This was a pleasure to kill.
Before Pei Yuan's five thousand soldiers joined the enemy on the other side, the enemy collapsed. Two heavy cavalry repeatedly fought in the center of the battlefield, but they couldn't get in, so they became a fun watching.
Pei Yuan immediately rode the battlefield and discovered the difference between two heavy cavalry killing the enemy.
Hu Weiyong's men were tall and strong, with great strength. He inserted a heavy cavalry rifle into the enemy and took it backwards, and the enemy was picked up in the air and threw it behind him. The killing efficiency was extremely high, but the effort was also consumed.
Tian Xing's troops used a more majestic horse lance, but they tied a rope to the handle behind the horse lance and tied it to their arms. The horse lance stabbed the enemy and immediately let go, pulling out the secondary weapon, steel whip, steel mace or sabre to kill the enemy.
The enemy's corpse is dragged on the ground for a few times, and the spear tip can be automatically pulled out of the enemy's body. At this time, put away the auxiliary weapons and pick up the horse corpse to continue killing the enemy.
This method kills people at a slower pace and has complex tactics, but it saves a lot of effort and can fight for a longer period of time.
It’s hard to say which of these two tactics is better, it depends on the opponent’s situation and tactical needs.
Hu Wei used the troops' tactics to demand high physical strength on soldiers, but when he was in the battle, he used long weapons all the time. The first wave of impact was much more lethal, which was very suitable for drilling through the enemy.
The tactics and techniques of Tian Xing's subordinates save effort, can be applied to less powerful subordinates, and are durable, and can cause more continuous blows to the enemy.
In fact, both tactics are advanced tactics of heavy cavalry.
Pei Yuan had seen ordinary heavy cavalry of the Turks before. Their cavalry quality was poor, and their average physical strength was much worse than the strongman heavy cavalry selected on the battlefield. A cavalry pierced on the enemy and could not be recovered at all.
In order to solve this problem, the Turks often had to bring several cavalry lances on horseback. Even so, they often used up their cavalry lances if they were less than half of the battle. In the future, they could only use slashes with a scimitar, and the combat power would greatly decrease.
If you win, you can pick up the rifle on the battlefield and continue to use it. If you lose, the rifle will be returned to the enemy. This is the traditional usage of rifle passed down from the West. This is the case with heavy cavalry in Europe.
The two groups of heavy cavalry on the field are all high-level heavy cavalry. One group selects soldiers to break the skills with their strength; the other group plays ingeniously and trains more strictly, and they are more vigorously than to see who kills the enemy.
Hu Weiyong and Tian Xing once fought at Tiemen Pass. Now when they meet on the battlefield, they all want to show better than the other party and strive to make contributions. The unlucky one becomes a cannibal.
Lao Hu led his subordinates to drill back and forth on the battlefield five times, but finally lost his energy and retreated behind Pei Yuan's troops to rest.
Tian Xing's troops had penetrated the cannibal twice before slowly retreating. Before leaving, they shouted to Lao Hu, "Hahaha, the bear bag is the bear bag. It won't work if you do this for two moves. Get out of bed and kneel down!"
Lao Hu had already taken off his armor and sat on the ground, but he was not at a loss. "What's the use of time? It depends on who has more times. I can compare with the number of enemies I killed? Without us being the first to tear through the enemy, will you have the chance to get a bargain?"
Pei Yuan had no time to listen to them quarrels from afar. The heavy cavalry came to an end. Pei Yuan waved his sword and five thousand infantry rushed up with spears, and began to harvest the chaotic cannibal soldiers.
Zhang Zihuai, the ten personal generals of Shao Shude's side, also led his troops out. The two sides surrounded him. The enemy troops who were still on the battlefield saw that they had no hope of victory, and had no way to return to the city, and finally surrendered.
