Chapter 149 The Armored Cavalry Who Doesn't Charge
Chapter 149 The Armored Cavalry Who Doesn't Charge
The dense sound of bowstrings seems to have some kind of strange rhythm, which drives countless strange sounds from arrows.
The rain of arrows all over the sky kept leaning towards the bodies of both sides. Kara Khan's light cavalry fell in waves, and the spearmen of the Fengtian Army also fell to the ground one after another.
Zhang Zhao shot down a yelling light cavalryman wearing chain mail in the distance with an arrow. Taking advantage of this slightly free time, he glanced at the front of the formation.
Almost 30 people fell down from the four hundred spearmen, and the casualties were actually not that great, because even those who fell down rarely lost their lives directly.
But this kind of horror of standing and being shot is not something ordinary people can bear. The spearmen's phalanx already has a feeling of crumbling.
But Zhang Zhao felt relieved, because it was even worse to pass Karahan Qingqi around the formation. They lost at least hundreds of them. Of course, shooting leather armor with step bows is much more powerful than shooting armor with horse bows.
"Yin Yaozi, I leave this place to you, I'm going to the front!"
Zhang Zhao put away the longbow, patted Yin Yaozi on the shoulder and said.
The current regret mountain has been fully tempered. Even if he is not around, these armored soldiers can still display extremely high combat effectiveness. What needs him now is the spearman in front of the formation.
"You can't erect the peng platoon, there are armored cavalry on the opposite side, once the peng platoon is erected, the enemy cavalry will swarm up!"
Shan Zhu'er held a horizontal knife and punched and kicked viciously in the rain of arrows, knocking down the peng platoons in the hands of several spearmen who wanted to erect peng platoons (shields).
The biggest reliance of this long spear phalanx against armored cavalry is to scare the enemy's armored horses with forest-like spear points, but if a peng platoon is set up, it will not be able to scare the opposing horses.
Of course, this is also because Zhang Zhao is not qualified for rejecting horses in formation. If he is qualified for rejecting horses, even if the spearmen use peng platoons, the enemy armored cavalry will not be able to charge in at once.
"Stand firm! The armored cavalry on the opposite side is coming!" Zhang Zhao quickly ran to Shanzhu'er. His golden armor was very conspicuous. When he appeared, the spearmen standing around who were shot seemed to have found their backbone. , the phalanx of long spears that was so precarious, immediately stabilized.
"Shan Zhuer, you did a good job!" Zhang Zhao praised loudly, but he didn't expect that this seemingly stupid-looking Shan Zhuer had a bit of talent for commanding.
Shan Zhuer grinned, but immediately lowered his face, "Mr. County, the armored cavalry on the opposite side don't seem to be charging. Look at their horses, they didn't run at all, and the formation was a bit left. This is not charging. The formation is more like wanting to shoot against us!"
"Hmph!" Zhang Zhao also snorted twice, "They didn't want to shoot at us, they wanted to shoot down our long spear phalanx and cause panic.
As long as the spearmen break up, the front line hits the back line, and they swarm up again, it will be much simpler. "
The armored cavalry of this era is different from the cuirassiers of later generations. The biggest role of the cuirassiers of later generations is to charge the battle.
In this era, although the armored cavalry will also charge into the battle with their guns, that is only a small part of their role on the battlefield. The most important role of the armored cavalry in this era is actually riding and shooting.
But this cavalry shooting is still different from that of cavalry archers, because there is no one out of a hundred such people who have to ride and shoot while running at high speed.
Therefore, the riding and shooting of Jiaqi is to change the formation from the way of rushing forward from the horse's head to change the horse's head to the left or right, and then trot and shoot at a constant speed.
During this shooting process, because the armored cavalry did not use soft horse bows, but the same hard bows, it is possible for them to collapse the defensive troops on the opposite side under their collective shooting.
After the front line collapsed, they would adjust their horses' heads to charge with their guns. When the horsepower was insufficient, they would even dismount and shoot at foot. After shooting the enemy to collapse, they would mount their horses and charge with the help of the auxiliary soldiers.
"Divide the formation, squat down to reduce the defensive area, and do not move without orders!" Zhang Zhao yelled, and the surrounding officers also yelled to pass on his orders.
Now that we know that the opponent is going to shoot the spear phalanx, there is no need to gather together. Scattering can reduce the chance of being hit and collapsing.
As soon as the words fell, the Karakhan armored cavalry in motion had reached about seventy paces. Sure enough, they either accelerated or slowed down their horses.
All the armored cavalry took out their bows and arrows, and the rain of arrows rushed over like locusts amid the order of an armored cavalry officer on the opposite side.
Before them, the hard archers at the front of the stack also collectively aimed at the direction of the armored cavalry on the opposite side, and the arrow rain from both sides arrived almost at the same time.
The screams rang out one after another around Zhang Zhao. Bow and arrow armor piercing is actually an important armor piercing method in the cold weapon era, but this method is relatively expensive, and ordinary troops can't afford it.
However, the armored cavalry dispatched on the opposite side are obviously the Gulam guards of Saktu. With Kara Khan's national strength, it is still possible to supply hundreds of people with armor-piercing arrows.
A large number of arrows were thrown around Zhang Zhao, and one of them even directly hit his diamond mask.
With a sound of jingling, Zhang Zhao's nose was sore, tears flowed down his face, and his nasal bone was almost cut off. Who told him to dress so stylishly, a golden armor was simply the best target.
I, Mr. Zhang Dajun, was severely beaten, and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look around.
But for a long time, Zhang Zhao felt a burst of severe pain coming from his body, as if countless burly men were hitting him with a headache, and he could even feel a lot of arrows coming from the damaged nail leaves Drilling in, the cold feeling of the arrow made him panic.
Now he finally understands why many armies collapsed under this level of shooting, because the fear of waiting for death cannot be resisted by manpower.
The howling was accompanied by chaotic footsteps, and many spearmen left their positions and ran to the back.
"Kill Wushe! Kill Wushe!" The ordinary archers behind the hard archers and the Yueqi on both sides roared loudly according to Zhang Zhao's arrangement in advance.
Liu Zaisheng personally carried the Mo Dao, and knocked a fleeing man to the ground. The monk Huitong on the other side was even more ruthless. Although these spearmen were all three doctrines he had personally selected, he was not merciless in killing them.
After the three escaped spearmen were deliberately kicked over by him, they were nailed to the ground with their spears, because they would not die immediately, and their mournful howls could deter other escapers.
"Everyone returns to the formation, and forget the past within ten breaths!"
Zhang Zhaoda started to drink, and the pressure on his body suddenly eased at this time, because the Jiaqi on the opposite side had already suffered heavy casualties under the fire of his strong archers.
It is more difficult to shoot on horseback than on foot while moving, and the speed is also slower. In addition, the bow and arrow of the two sides are very different, and the armored horse on the opposite side will soon be unable to hold it.
This is inevitable. We must know that Khotan has absorbed the essence of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty and prospered. At this time, the Khotan Oasis can raise silkworms and weave cloth, and the textile and iron smelting industries are not comparable to the Kara Khanate.
It’s hard to say if a swarm of swarms come up and fight hand-to-hand with the superiority of numbers, but the Karahans are by no means opponents when they stand up and shoot at each other, fighting for the quality of bows and arrows.
The arrows shot by the armored cavalry on the opposite side became less and less, and Zhang Zhao even started to pull out the arrows stuck in the bright light armor when he had time. Now, I, Zhang Dajun, are like a hedgehog, probably covered in bruises.
Zhang Zhao, who felt distressed and had to repair his armor, curled his lips contemptuously, what the **** Gulam Guards sounded like that, but in actual combat, it turned out to be so rubbish, more than [-] riders dispatched Not even a frontal impact.
'Kukukukuku! 'The sound of neat footsteps came, and the hornbowmen from the rear came forward.
'Boom! 'More than three hundred horned crossbows shot out together. This is not a strong bow of eight fights, but a strong crossbow close to three stones.
Immediately, those hundreds of armored cavalry and the light cavalry who circled back immediately turned on their backs in groups. From a distance of seventy steps, under three stone crossbow arrows, no armor of yours can hold it, and the horses can be killed by one blow. Life.
The panicked people screamed and neighed, and the hairy Karakhan cavalry who had been shot, fled in all directions under a volley of three hundred horned crossbowmen, like termites that had been knocked over from an ant nest.
