Chapter 855: Originally a silver wax gun tip
The impact of infantry formation against cavalry is actually more like a battle of courage. After nearly ten years of battle with the Mongolian cavalry, the two sides are already familiar with this kind of collision, or are numb. But the Shu cavalry is different. They have never experienced such a cruel war. In the eyes of ordinary cavalry, when the amazing cavalry begins to attack, the infantry should flee in all directions. Although the Shu horse is much smaller than the Meng cavalry, it is still a thousand pounds. With the weight of the cavalry and the speed of the impact, the flesh and blood body blocking him is simply unstoppable, and the jingyan in Shu is indeed like this.
But today is obviously different. When they launched a charge, there were no crossbow arrows like rain in front of them. What caught their eyes were the mountain infantry. These infantry not only did not retreat and flee, but instead took a step forward. With the shouts, long spears several meters long were stood up. Except for the soldiers in the first row, all they could see were long gun blades shining with cold light.
The war horses were obviously also shocked. The Shu cavalry obviously could not compare with the ability of Meng cavalry to control war horses. When the war horses saw the sharp weapon with cold light, they tried their best to turn to both sides, but the cavalry immediately wanted to control them and pounce on the enemy. The previous sprint made it too late for the war horses to turn at this time, not to mention that there were other war horses around them. With the bang, they crashed heavily.
The gun was broken and the horse died. The neatly arranged military formation shaking. Some people fell to the ground without saying a word, their tendons were broken, and some were sobbing. Blood in their mouths and noses gushed out with the screams. The knights on the horse suddenly stopped at the high speed. The huge inertia made them fly high, like to thrown toys. When they fell, they were greeted by several or even dozens of sharp soft blades.
Blood fell like raindrops, hitting the soldiers' armor, scattering, scattered internal organs flying, and more were hung on the gun blades, shaking with the soldiers' movements. Those who were not strong in their minds alone would be enough to lose their fighting spirit.
The Shu cavalry was not the Meng cavalry. When the cavalry behind saw that the military formations that the cavalry had swayed for a while, they returned to their original state. They were shocked, and the splashing blood and swaying internal organs made people dizzy. Many people were already lying on the saddle and vomiting wildly.
The entire cavalry's sprint was only one round, and it actually stopped. This was extremely fatal. The advantage of the cavalry's rushing lies in their speed and high-speed maneuverability. When the Meng cavalry rushed forward, they could change their direction and find the weakest point of their opponents. The Shu cavalry was obviously much worse, especially this pause, which showed the gap between the two sides.
Ding Qiu was actually ready. He treated the Shu cavalry as the Meng cavalry. Yan Xiaoyi's failure in Ganzhou sounded the alarm for every general of the Northern Expedition Army. There were so many heroes in the world. If he didn't pay attention, he would be defeated and destroyed.
But the opponent's reaction was indeed a bit beyond Ding Qiu's surprise.
It turned out that there were some silver-like wax gun tips, which were not useful! Ding Qiu was overjoyed. No general didn't like his opponent's weaker ones, and it would be best if he was vulnerable.
Change the formation and assault! At the first moment, Ding Qiu took his attention. Under the central army, hundreds of cowhide drums suddenly sounded, and the forefront of the military formation remained unmoved, but the square formation blocked before the entrances of each passage began to change formation, like a burst of water. The soldiers shouted and flowed out along the passages of dozens of meters. They were like a handful of burnt red strips, cutting into the almost stagnant cavalry team.
The cavalry without speed had no advantage except higher speed. Ding Qiu rushed forward with a rascal smile. The ferocious mask and heavy iron spear made people look at him and the iron spear burst out and falls, and each time it will bring a bunch of blood.
Teams of infantry of the North Envoy Army interspered into the Shu cavalry's team, constantly cutting, surrounding, eliminating, cutting, and encircling. Lucheng Camp fought too much in this kind of war and did not require the command of the superior. They did it as natural as flowing water. This time, when they met the officers of Lucheng Camp who were so soft, they were excitedly waving their weapons. This was a great opportunity to make a fortune!
The Shu cavalry, which was divided by the Zhengbei Army and infinitely compressed the activity space, became the target of bullying at this time. The three-meter spear used by the Zhengbei Army for the breaking cavalry made them unable to deal with it. There were several, dozens of such spears poked over in each direction. You could cut off one or several, but as long as one poked into your body, you could report to the King of Hell.
From a distance, the Shu cavalry, which was higher than the Northern Army, was rapidly decreasing, just like a tall jungle being ruthlessly cut down. Only when they disappeared could they clearly see the low shrubs.
The Lucheng Camp military formation on both sides shouted slogans, slowly moved forward, and then moved closer to the middle. They did not participate in the middle of the killing, and their eyes were still on Xie Chao and Xie Hui's reserve team behind.
Xie Chao saw clearly that when the victory and defeat of the battle in the middle of the battlefield had been decided, the square formations of the two wings once again formed one military formation in front of the battlefield.
His hands were trembling and his heart was trembling. The Shu cavalry, which he was proud of, was slaughtered like ducks in front of an opponent's group of infantrymen, and had almost no resistance. Is this the Northern Army? Is this the tactic of defeating the Meng cavalry with the stairs? It seems nothing new, but the rich information contained in it made Xie Chao tremble. Not to mention anything else, it is impossible to keep the cavalry standing in motion before the cavalry charges like an angry tide and keep the military formation neat. I don't know how much effort it takes to succeed.
"Retreat!" Xie Hui, who was on the other side, was pale at this time, and he had no enthusiasm before the war. The Shu cavalry was defeated too quickly and too easy, so fast that he could not imagine that even if he had a dream, such a scene would not appear. In their reflection, the cavalry was born to be the nemesis of infantry, and in front of the cavalry, the infantry could only be slaughtered.
But they forgot that the Northern Army used the power of infantry to drag down the famous Meng cavalry in the world. In dealing with this assault, the impact of the Meng cavalry and the impact of the Shu cavalry were completely different from that of the Shu cavalry.
Ding Qiu was actually mentally prepared to be defeated by one or two military formations by the other party, because judging from the previous charge of the opponent's marching formation, they all seemed to be a strong army, but when the two sides fought, the other party's true face was revealed.
This is a cavalry team that has never fought hard. Ding Qiu gave a definition for his opponent. Perhaps in Shu, their greater function is to serve as a guard of honor, or to scare the common people and those mobs. Other people's fear made them float up, and they really think they are the kings on the battlefield, but today, he told them with bloody facts that on the battlefield, the more emphasis on the combat will of soldiers. The combat will of this Shu army is probably far inferior to the Shu infantry in Tengchong. Because of the news from Tengchong, Hu Zehua annihilated more than 5,000 enemies, but he also lost two thousand people. It is not easy to fight Hu Zehua to this extent.
Seeing that the reserve team of Shu cavalry did not come up to attack in vain, but turned around and ran towards the way he came. Ding Qiu took back the iron spear, which was boring. He was not interested in chasing the remaining enemies on the battlefield. This was what the soldiers should do. With a chirping sound, he inserted the iron spear to the ground and reached out to take off the devil mask on his face. "It's boring!" he murmured.
The opponent cannot escape. Behind them, Jamuha is sharpening his knife and rushing toward the pigs and sheep! At the level of Shu cavalry, if you meet Jamuha, you may not even be able to escape alone.
Jamuha was blocking Xie Chao and Xie Hui's retreat at this time. He only brought three thousand large tent soldiers. In his opinion, this was already very despised by his opponent. He stroked the starry eyes in his hand. It had been a long time since he had used him to kill the enemy. There was something strange in the world sometimes it was hard to predict. When the mortal enemy in his mind suddenly became friends, bosses, and comrades-in-arms, he was confused, but when he saw his tribe members taking root in Qinzhou, Chengzhou, Taizhou and other places, and began their unimaginable life before, he finally understood that Yardan's choice was not wrong. For his tribe members, he seemed to have to be a cow for Yun Zhao in his whole life.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He was not worried about the upcoming battle. The Shu cavalry had no hope of attacking Ding Qiu, unless they took a detour, but on another road, the wetlands in Tengchong were waiting for them and entered that area. For the cavalry, it was just a word of failure. A team that had no Ding Qiu killed and fled back in panic. What was the difficulty in fighting this battle?
During this period, Jamukha spent more of his thoughts on pursuing military discipline. Although the Mongolian cavalry was naturalized under the command of the Northern Army, some of the bad habits of the past were not completely changed. This time, when he arrived in Jingzhou, the prosperous Jingzhou land immediately made them red and robbery happened from time to time.
But now the soldiers in the big tent are no longer the past. In the army, there are military judges from the Supervision Bureau. Every day, such soldiers are mentioned before the Central Army tent. The military judges still respect themselves. This may be because of the recommendation of the Supervision Bureau of Zhengbei Prefecture. At least Jamukha knows that such soldiers who violate discipline have the right to deal with them in other troops.
It made me even more difficult for me to hand it over to myself. The lesser-thinking military sticks served, there were as many as hundreds of soldiers in the tent, and more than a dozen of them were chopped down because of their participation in adultery. In the past, he ignored these behaviors.
