Chapter 72: Cavalry Power
Chapter 72: The Power of Cavalry
Wang Qinian's fierceness really shocked the people on the grassland, so that their soldiers had to keep a mind staring at this side when they were rushing forward with sacks on their backs, for fear that Wang Qinian would have another death charge. Such a human-shaped beast would rush up to it, which was indeed a pity. In fact, at this time, Wang Qinian was powerless to launch any attack. His whole body was in great pain and he was hedging against the wild galloping horse. Even if he was an iron man, he would be scraped off a layer of dander.
The hostility in Wanyan Bulu's heart was also aroused. Before the left fortress was completely taken down, it launched an attack on the right fortress at the same time. This time, the more experienced Wanyan Bulu carried a sack with cavalry. The highly mobile cavalry made the attack of Changsheng Battalion half-effect, and the powerful impact of the cavalry also made it impossible to raid the cold guns halfway.
"General, let Jiang Kui's soldiers go out and attack. This intensity of attack will not be very strong. Let them feel the power of the opponent's iron cavalry, and it will also help them fight in the future." Shang Haibo, who came to the city in the afternoon, told Li Qing. "It's a good time. The opponent's fighting will not be strong, and our cavalry skills are not as good as our opponents. They will just offset each other."
Li Qing always respected Shang Haibo's opinion very much, "Okay, just follow what Mr. Shang said, go and rush, but Jiang Kui, you have to remember that your opponent is the barbarians who are throwing sacks. If the opponent's elite rushes up, you must come back. And you only have this chance, because according to the opponent's progress, the cavalry will be used soon, and you still have to climb up with infantry to fill in. So you cherish this opportunity to train troops. Last time you hit the dog in the water, but this time it was a real sword and gun."
Jiang Kui said happily: "General, don't worry, we have been suffocating our brothers riding on the wings these two days. We are excited to go out to kill the barbarians!"
Li Qing smiled and waved his hand, "Go and go, don't be fooled by me, let me see my real kung fu!"
Seeing Jiang Kui leaving with a smile, Li Qing shook his head and said to Shang Haibo: "Mr. Shang, what's going on over there?" Shang Haiqing is now in charge of the matter of seizing Yiling Iron Mine. This matter is of great importance, and only Shang Haibo can reassure Li Qing.
"Everything is going well. Today I have sent the conscription order from the General's Mansion to the Fang family. I believe that the Fang family is already discussing countermeasures at this time." Shang Haibo said with a smile.
"Be careful that the other party's raccoon will change the prince and fool you!" Li Qing looked at Shang Haibo with a side face.
"Hahaha, Fang Wenhai wants to fool me, he is not qualified enough!" Shang Haibo sneered, "Don't worry, General, everything is in control."
Li Qing stopped talking and turned to look at the battlefield. One person in the earthen base of the Guard Fort on the right was already high. The cavalry rushed over quickly, threw the sacks high with one arm, landed on the base, and then roared away. The catapults, eight ox crossbows, and bows and arrows on the guard fort seemed very weak and could only cause almost slight damage to the enemy. The opponent filled in for almost half an hour before dozens of cavalry fell down in front of the guard fort.
When the city gate opened, Jiang Kui's wings rushed out. Wang Qinian had already ordered his subordinates to make way for the wings to open the passage. So from Wang Qinian's position, several passages were opened at the same time. One thousand and five hundred cavalrymen rushed out like dragons.
This time, the attack became a cavalry. Wanyan Bulu admired his opponent's response in the battle, but he had absolute confidence in the cavalry against the cavalry. The iron cavalry of the grassland has always been suppressed by the cavalry of the Great Chu. In terms of cavalry quality, no army can be stronger than the grassland.
The cavalry of the grassland coalition came from different tribes and had a variety of weapons. For example, the five large tribes of white, yellow, blue and red, the cavalry was basically well-proportioned. Among them, the Bai tribe, most of them were covered with iron armor, and a small number of the other four divisions were also covered with iron armor. However, each cavalry also had leather armor and the weapons were relatively unified. The other small tribes were a little worse. Only officers had armor, and most ordinary soldiers were wearing civilian clothes and waving a variety of weapons.
Seeing the wings of the Changsheng Camp rushing up, these barbarian cavalry immediately threw down the sack in their hands, lifted their weapons, and rushed up with a strange cry. Jiang Kui's cavalry did not rush up like the other party, but formed a wedge-shaped attack formation. The distance between the horse and the horse was kept within five steps. On the running horse, the distance was quite dangerous, but such a tight formation had a huge attack power. In comparison, it was like a barbarian holding a big fan in both hands, while Jiang Kui twisted an embroidery needle with two fingers.
The two cavalry streams, one left and one right, collided together in an instant, and Jiang Kui's riding wings pierced into the other party's formation like a cone.
As soon as he saw that the cavalry wings of the Changsheng Camp could maintain such a tight and rigorous formation while running at such a high speed, Nuoqia suddenly lost his color and shouted, "Not good!" In his image, only the Bai tribe's first general, Lord Hu He and his Benlang Army. In the competition with the Shiwei people outside the Pamir Pass, the Benlang Army used this strict formation impact to make the powerful and stronger Shiwei people, who were defeated in the army and lost in a row. The cavalry wings of the Changsheng Camp in front of him could even use this tactic with ease, and subconsciously Nuoqia felt that it was not good.
It was not until he penetrated deeply into the opponent's team that Jiang Kui deeply felt that Li Qing had a deep understanding of the cavalry's requirement to maintain a dense formation in the charge. What if your skills were good? This was not a one-on-one fight, but a group fight, just like a fight. You came up, I came up, and I came up, and each punched you. The barbarians' immediate kung fu is indeed good. They hid in the kick, exchange left and right, and even jumped to the opponent's battle horse in the battle, but this was all in vain to hide in the kick, and hide in the kick. But if you wanted to get up again, it was impossible. You hid in the front, but the one behind rushed up, and you didn't need to use swords and guns to directly kill you.
The cavalry of Changsheng Camp used standard weapons uniformly, each with a spear and a sabre. The spear is long, but the spear is all materials that are very easy to break. Jiang Kui didn't quite understand what the use of such a spear is, and it broke when it met the enemy. But after several tests, he realized that this spear is purely a disposable product, and the spear head is worth a little money. The most equipped in his riding wings is the spear head, and then bundles of spear sticks.
The knight runs fast on the horse, holding a spear in his hand, and the speed of the horses on both sides adds up. The force on the gun is a terrifying number. Once the cavalry stabs the opponent, they must let go immediately, otherwise your arm will be broken, and even take people out. However, this technique of letting go is not so easy to master, either sooner or later, and it is too early, you will automatically give up the weapon before you stab the opponent. Even if you kill the opponent, you will be done. Therefore, this fragile gun rod comes in great use. Once you stab the opponent, the force-bearing gun rod will stumble, and the cavalry's arm will be subject to a sharp drop, which will not cause any damage to the body.
The sabers of Changsheng Camp were also somewhat different from those of the people of this era. The blade was slender and slightly curved. Li Qing spared no effort to equip the cavalry. He had finally collected some of the good-quality irons, which were used by him to make sabers. If there was steel, this kind of knife would be more useful.
Seeing that his cavalry was easily penetrated into the formation, Wanyan Bulu frowned deeply, "This Changsheng Battalion is really a newly formed battalion? How could there be so many cavalry, and it is basically well-trained, and this combat power is not worse than the elite of our tribe?"
Nuoqia looked very bad when he saw his cavalry falling off his horse, "This Li Qing is a member of the Li family in Yizhou. The Li family is a powerful family in the Central Plains. He must have strong support for him. Only then can there be such a group of cavalry, or this group of cavalry came from the army of the Li family in Yizhou."
As the two of them spoke, Jiang Kui's riding wings had already broken through the enemy formation, and then went around a large circle from afar and plunged in again. The assault began from the other direction, and in a moment, he actually let him kill one in and out. The barbarian cavalry fell down hundreds of riders, while Jiang Kui's riding wings actually lost less than a hundred people.
This exchange ratio surprised Li Qing and Shang Haibo, "It seems that he has a high opinion of the cavalry tactics of this era." Li Qing secretly thought that the barbarians are strong in individuals, but the battlefield discipline is far from that of the Changsheng Camp.
Li Qing suddenly had a thought that if he had a large number of cavalry, it would not be difficult to defeat Bayar. This thought made Li Qing suffer a great loss after encountering Hu He's Prancing Wolf Army in the future.
Jiang Kui killed very happily, but after rushing out this time, he had to return because Li Qing gave him a strict order, and he had to go back and forth, and he had to go back and forth.
