Chapter 746 Cavalry vs Cavalry

If the cavalry wants to exert its greatest power, it must have a distance. It needs enough distance to allow the horse to run at a high speed, so that it can have an impact.

The Ming army in front of Yild was completely different from the Ming army he knew. This Ming army was not only well-equipped, but also formed and mobilized much faster.

If the Ming army moves first, it is equivalent to occupying the first opportunity, which means that it can reach a higher speed earlier than its own cavalry, and it will suffer when it collides.

Commander Yild was not in a panic. Although he was a little surprised, he was still predictable. He raised his whip and swung it around in the air a few times. Then he swung it forward again, and the Targa's cavalry also started to move.

The Ming army cavalry on the opposite side had already charged a distance of [-] steps, but the Tartar cavalry did not hit the horses and began to hedge, but let the horses move forward in small steps.

The horses jog at a small pace, the bumps will not be too violent, and the arrows of the horsemen will be much higher. In the first three rows of the Tartar cavalry, they all draw bows and arrows on the backs of the horses. Prepare to lob into the formation of the Ming army.

The cavalry of the two sides confronted each other, and the speed of the armored cavalry at the front of the Ming army was getting faster and faster. These cavalry were wearing plate armor, and the horses were also covered with felt leather covers. Quite impressive, such cavalry charged forward, their horses hooved on the ground, the rumble sounded like muffled thunder, and the momentum was extremely astonishing. The cavalry horses on the Tartar side just kept their heads forward, but the cavalry on horseback were a little restless.

"Close to Minggou and shoot again!!"

A general hissed and shouted, in such uneasiness, despite the distance

On the occasion of the battle, if the archers and firecrackers are frightened and impatient, they will fire the weapons in their hands before the enemy approaches, so that at least they can reduce their pressure.

Of course, the consequences are also disastrous. Enemies outside the shooting range will not be killed at all, but when the enemy rushes to the front, they have no arrows and ammunition.In the past, only the Ming army would commit such a problem. When the Tartar cavalry gradually approached, they fired indiscriminately. When the enemy came within range, their ammunition had been exhausted, and the barrels of their firecrackers had turned red. Can't be used at all.

But in this battle, it was the Tartar cavalry who could not suppress themselves first, and the leader troops at all levels shouted loudly to suppress them, but the armored cavalry galloping on the opposite side was too powerful, and the pressure on people was too great.

With the arrows shot like this, the archer's own posture has been deformed, so there is no point in aiming, the two teams of cavalry are facing each other, and the horses of each other have already run away, and the speed of approaching is also extremely fast.

Most of the Tartar cavalry arrows were still pressed on the bowstrings. When they were within the shooting range, the general of the Tartar cavalry issued an order. The thunderous sound of hooves.

The armored cavalry in the first row and the second row bowed slightly, while the light cavalry in the next few rows raised their round shields on their left arms, and their bows and arrows were aimed at the cavalry on horseback.

The sound of clanging and clanging sounded intensively, and the arrows fell and hit the plate armor and helmet of the Tiger Mighty Army. The biggest ones were the armored cavalry in front, and they were also aimed at by the rain of arrows.

However, the effect of this round of shooting was almost zero, and some arrows shot to the back row, which were all blocked by the round shield. Only two or three cavalry were unlucky and injured by arrows leaking from the gap in the shield, but still You can continue to charge on horseback.

The first few rows of Tartar cavalry picked up short spears and knives and axes, desperately deflected their mounts, and the cavalry charged were divided into several teams, turning from the gap between the teams, they could attack the Ming army with knives On the side of the horse, chopping sideways, this is right, the equestrian requirements are quite high, and most of the Tartar cavalry have this confidence.

There were still a dozen steps left, and the cavalry behind the armored cavalry put down their round shields, drew their bows and set arrows on their horses, also took a slightly lower angle of elevation, and shot past them without hesitation.

The arrows of the Ming army were long, and the arrows used more iron, which were much heavier than the arrows of the Tartars. The longbows used were also stronger.

Compared with the iron armor in the first row and the second row of the Ming army, and the round shields and leather armor after the third row, the best armor on the Tartar cavalry is only chain mail and leather armor, and they never thought that there would be Arrows were shot, and the rain of arrows fell, and the Tartar cavalry on their horses suddenly fell off their horses screaming, and the formation was empty.

People rolled off their horses, and those who died were still happy, but those who did not die would be trampled to death by their companions' mounts, and some were caught in the saddle, which was even more miserable. Messed up.

But chaotically, the momentum of charging could not be stopped. The armored cavalry of the Ming army who had been silent all this time roared loudly, and the enemy was right in front of them.

"Bang bang..." There was a rush of muffled noises, and the speeding horse teams of both sides stopped suddenly and collided with each other. It seemed to be quiet for a moment, and then screams and shouts broke out.

The combined weight of armored cavalry, men, horses, armor, and spears was much heavier than that of the opposing Tartar cavalry. The two sides collided at high speed, and many of the opposing Tartar cavalry were directly knocked down from their horses. On the ground, the armored cavalry's flat-ended spears all hit the target, piercing into the flesh of the opposite side as if there was no obstacle, and many of the Tartar cavalry who fell were pierced.

There were also spears stuck in the gaps in the enemy's bones and could not be pulled out. The cavalry did not pull out forcefully, but discarded the spears directly, and pulled out the broadsword or double-edged ax hanging on the side of the saddle with the backhand.

The front rows of the Tartar cavalry also used spears, but their length was far inferior to that of the Ming cavalry. When the two sides collided, the spears of the Tartar cavalry could not touch the armored cavalry at all.

Yiled was surrounded by his own soldiers and ran outside the cavalry. When everyone was shooting arrows, he also shot an arrow. His bow was a high-quality boxwood bow, and the arrows were also made by the weapon workshop in Guihua City. Yild was able to reach the position of the commander, and his bravery was naturally far superior to that of ordinary soldiers. The target he chose was the cavalry of the Ming army closest to him, and the shooting position was also towards the chest, which was a bigger target.

When the arrow was shot, the armored cavalry of the Ming army who was shot was only pushed back by the force of the arrow, and the speed did not slow down. Yild's heart was a little chilled.

The rain of arrows from the Ming army was poured out, causing death among the Tartar cavalry. One of Yild's soldiers was shot and fell off his horse. Yild's hands were already trembling, but he He still didn't stop the cavalry under him. After the collision, the front team fell on their backs and suffered heavy casualties. Yild's face turned black, but he still didn't stop the team. This was all within his expectations.

As long as your cavalry rush into the formation of the Ming army, as long as you can get into this tight formation and fight close to the Ming army, your warriors will definitely be able to disrupt the Ming army and drive these damn Ming dogs out of the way one by one. Chop it off immediately.

At the beginning, those Tartar cavalry who were desperately turning their horses turned, some of them deviated from the direction they were facing in time and rushed into the gap between the Ming army ranks.

Their eyes were already red. From the side, looking at the waist of Ming army cavalry with a knife could cause fatal wounds to these damned Ming dogs.

The Tartar cavalryman who rushed to the front was a centurion. He had excellent riding skills and excellent combat skills. His men and his companions had suffered heavy casualties in the two attacks just now. He wanted to kill a few of them now. Ming army cavalry.

Entering the gap, the Ming army who hadn't rushed in front of him was on the side, and when they staggered past, the cavalry slashed at the side. This action was the most difficult, but he could do it.

As soon as he raised the long knife in his hand, the Ming army cavalry he was going to attack also slashed down with a single knife. At this moment, he could only raise the knife to block, and with a "bang", the two knives collided.

The mounts on both sides were moving, and when the swords collided with each other, they passed by each other. The centurion felt his wrists go numb. The sword that the opponent slashed just now was so powerful that if he missed it, then... still Before I could adjust my movements, I suddenly felt the sound of the wind behind me, felt a pain, and suddenly couldn't lift my strength...

Immediately, the sudden pain turned into a heart-wrenching pain, and the centurion stared blankly at the javelin tip protruding from his chest, and fell off his horse.

Even if they rushed into the formation, the Tartar cavalry could not take advantage of the hand-to-hand combat between cavalry and cavalry. Ild saw that the cavalry who rushed in were cut off from their horses one by one, and were killed by javelins and bows. shoot.

Originally thought that they could mess up the formation of the cavalry of the Ming army and break through from the inside, but they didn't expect to rush into the gap and become the target of two flanking attacks.

"Retreat....Go back!!!!"

Commander Yild finally panicked. In this kind of battle, he is restrained everywhere, and there is no hope in sight. If he continues to fight, he will continue to die and withdraw. These Ming troops are different from the ones they encountered. They have to go back and tell Hai Ri Gu lord, as the commander of the army, he was on the outside, he could rein in the horse and turn around calmly, but it was not so easy for the Tartar cavalry who had collided and strangled to retreat.

Among the hundreds of cavalry that collided with each other, except for the outermost ones, most of them had no room to maneuver. They would either kill the enemy on the opposite side, or kill their companions, or they would not be able to leave at all, but for the Tartar cavalry Said, facing the Ming army cavalry wearing plate armor and holding a long knife and big axe, their own swords can't damage the opponent's armor, they can only look for the gaps in the opponent's armor, the ax and iron bones can break the armor, but the length Not enough.

The Ming army's knives and axes are all long enough, and the counterweight is also enough. If they are chopped down, they will inevitably cause damage...

Over there, Yild has already turned around, and he wants to ask Hai Rigu for help to rescue these subordinates, but after he turned around, the brigade led by Hai Rigu disappeared.

Wang Tong watched from the watchtower that the Tartars' main formation disregarded the companions who fell completely below, and instead made a big circle to the other side of the chariot formation, and couldn't help laughing.
