Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 604: Riding Battle!

No matter how many personal expectations the war gives and how much rear protection it provides, the trend on the frontline battlefield cannot be changed just by changing it.

The final victory of the war depends on fighting each battle, which must be filled with life and stained with blood. Therefore, the place where the war is located is called the Shura Field in the Human World! !

Tieling.

Liaohe River.

The dazzling sun hung high, and the golden light reflected the gurgling water. The warm wind blew in, blowing the branches along the river. However, the sound of horses honking from time to time made the atmosphere tense.

"Hey, yo~"

Around the river, tall horses gathered in groups as far as the eye could see. Many war horses lowered their heads and drank the water from the Liao River.

"Old man, you must be exhausted."

In the team, a man wearing leather armor caressed the horse he was riding. The drinking horse felt the care of its owner. While drinking water from the Liao River, it kicked its hooves and shook its tail from time to time. The man laughed when he saw this. , reached out to comb the horse's hair, looked around, and carefully took out two cooked eggs from his arms.

"Come on, old man, I'll give you some ingredients."

The man reached out and patted the horse's neck. The war horse, which was drinking water, immediately raised its head and looked at the rough hand in front of him with two eggs spread out. The war horse's eyes were shining brightly, and he immediately stuck out his tongue and rolled it into his mouth. Chew it inside.

"Haha, just like me, they are all fucking starving ghosts!"

The man couldn't help laughing and scolding, but he didn't stop. He was still combing his horse's hair. For a cavalryman, the horse on his crotch is more than just a horse. It is a part of his life and is worth entrusting to him. Brothers of life and death! !

A scene like the one before my eyes was played out in many places along the Liaohe River.

Starting from the first year of Tianqi, the number of cavalry active on the Liaozuo front line increased. Different from the scattered cavalry in the past, there are now several organized cavalry teams gathered on the Liaozuo front line.

There is no breakthrough in the field of firearms. The cavalry is definitely the trump card in the cold weapon era, especially the established cavalry team. Once put on the battlefield, it can play a role in reversing the situation of the war!
"Beep!!!"

The piercing military whistle suddenly sounded, breaking the peaceful atmosphere here, and the noise echoed here.

"Hey!"

"An enemy is approaching!"

"Emergency gathering!!"

"Da da……"

"Gathering together!!"

On the banks of the Liao River, a cavalry line of more than a thousand people assembled at the fastest speed. There was no confusion during this period, and there was not even a panic among the people or the cavalry.

Different from the troops who are practicing and training in the rear, the troops who are fighting on the front lines all year round do everything quickly and without any sloppiness!
Slow down and you won't be able to grab food.

If you are slow, you will not be able to win the battle.

If you take a step slowly, you won't be able to grab your chance!

"President Qian, it seems that the main force of Jianlu is coming."

In the riding formation, he was holding the reins tightly, and the excitement between his brows was undisguised, "You damn bastard, I have been wandering along Tieling for so long, and finally I fucking caught the opportunity, the last general can even do it." I heard that many of the artillerymen who besieged Tieling were so relieved!"

"Now it's time for us to have fun!!"

The strong man wearing a double layer of cotton armor reached out to the handle of the sword with his calloused hands. With a click, the saber with a cold gleam was drawn out, and a rich voice sounded, "Pass this order from me, all ministries are in preparation for battle." , Following the military flag and the order, I want to see how many prisoners I can encounter!" He and the messengers gathered around him immediately galloped everywhere. At the same time, under this thousand people Several flag-bearing soldiers beside the general waved their flags one after another.

"With orders, all units will enter a battle-ready state and move according to the military flags and orders!"

"With orders, all units will enter a battle-ready state and move according to the military flags and orders!"

In the high-spirited cavalry formation, a famous messenger was rushing through the ranks. Their high-pitched voices echoed wherever he passed, which made all the knights in the cavalry formation excited.

Since the great victory in Liaozuo in the first year of Tianqi, the Ming army units guarding Liaodong were reorganized with the power of victory, which made the warlike military spirit return again.

This immediately formed a sharp contrast with the rise of the Liaoning Ming army after the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Sarhu! !
The power of the army comes from fighting!

The soul of the army comes from killing!
The courage of the army comes from fighting!

As an absolutely violent force, if you don't even have the courage to show your sword to the enemy, what awaits this country and this ethnic group will be endless humiliation! !
"Da da da!!"

The thunderous sound of horse hooves came from a distance, and the earth began to tremble, and smoke and dust were rolled up in the distance. Anyone who has experienced the battlefield knows that the team that can make such a noise must be at least no less than three thousand! !

"The bones are a bit hard."

In the cavalry formation, General Qian of the Ming Army, clutching his saber tightly, felt the trembling earth. Even though he did not see any sign of the enemy cavalry, he had already estimated the size of the enemy cavalry. Although the scale was larger than that of his own troops, in this position In the heart of General Qian of the Ming Army, there was no fear at all. On the contrary, his fighting spirit became even stronger.

"Send the order, attack from the left and right wings, support the headquarters at night, and attack the enemy's cavalry line. Don't be reluctant to fight!!"

"Send the order, our headquarters will retreat in formation and catch fish!!"

As military orders were conveyed, the Ming cavalry team on the banks of the Liao River began to move. Some galloped forward, while others retreated slowly. The entire cavalry formation was chaotic and not panicked.

The Ming cavalry who retreated with General Qian of the Ming Army were slowly advancing. Among the cavalry formations, some were holding Hongwu-style rifles, some were holding lances, some were holding powerful crossbows, some were holding small tip bows, and some were holding large Shao Gong... Among these Ming cavalry, they wield a variety of weapons, but as they march, a coordinated cavalry formation is also formed.

War is never a contest between a single arm, but a confrontation between multiple arms. Even the same arm has different armaments.

"what!!"

"ha!!!"

In the torrent of galloping cavalry, Azig stared straight ahead. In front of his headquarters' cavalry formation, several scattered groups of Mingqi remained at night and galloped forward extremely fast, keeping a certain distance between the two sides.

"Master! An enemy cavalry formation is approaching!!"

In this noisy state, the powerful Jianlu, who was closely following Azig in Geshhar, seemed to feel something and shouted at Azig at the top of his lungs.

"Finally we have prey!!"

Azig's stern face revealed a sinister smile. In this situation, Azig raised his sword high and began to shake it in the air, and the torrent of cavalry began to change.

In a large-scale cavalry battle, it is unrealistic to rely on shouts to direct the commotion caused. The cavalry teams participating in the battle all have their own customary order systems.

As a Jianlu who has learned archery and horse training since he was a child, although the number of cavalry under the Eight Banners is not large, all those who can be selected as horse soldiers are elite! !

It is true that the Jianlu were a nomadic people, and they were indeed good at cavalry fighting. However, the most powerful thing about the Jianlu was the battlefield charge of the infantry and archers. During this period, there were even more horse soldiers rushing into the formation. This series of battlefield battles made the Jianlu more powerful. Invincible in the field! !

On the other hand, the Ming army used chariot soldiers as the vanguard. During this period, they cooperated with spearmen, sword and shield soldiers, crossbowmen, fire cannon soldiers, artillery soldiers, etc. However, before the first year of the Apocalypse, the Ming army neglected to train. The withholding of money and food, and the lack of military discipline led to the degradation of the field power that had been exerted since the early Ming Dynasty.

But now, the two sides are about to start a riding battle here! !
