Horse on the World

Chapter 71 Cavalry Power
Wang Qinian's ferocity really shocked the prairie people, so that when their soldiers rushed forward with sacks on their backs, they had to keep an eye on this side, for fear that Wang Qinian would play a death-defying charge again. It is indeed unbearable for a ferocious humanoid beast to rush forward.In fact, Wang Qinian was unable to launch any attack at this time, his whole body was in terrific pain, and he was facing the wild galloping horse, even if he was an iron man, he would still be scraped off.

The hostility in Wanyan Bulu's chest was also aroused. When the left fort was not completely captured, he launched an attack on the right fort at the same time. This time, the more experienced Wanyan Bulu was carried by cavalry. The sacks and the highly mobile cavalry made the attack of the Changsheng Battalion less effective, and the powerful impact of the cavalry also made it impossible to make a surprise attack halfway.

"General, let Jiang Kui's soldiers go out and attack. The attack of this intensity will not be very strong. Let them feel the strength of the opponent's cavalry, and it will also help them in future battles." Shang Hai who came to the city in the afternoon Bo said to Li Qing. "Now is a good time. The opponent's will to fight is not strong, and our cavalry skills are not as good as the opponent's. The two offset each other, just offset."

Li Qing has always respected Shang Haibo's opinions, "Okay, just go and charge as Mr. Shang said, but Jiang Kui, you have to remember that your opponents are those barbarians who are throwing sacks. When 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 soon be used to go up, and the infantry will still be used to climb up to fill. So you cherish this opportunity to train troops Well, the last time you beat the dog in the water, this time it's a real knife."

Jiang Kui said happily: "General, don't worry, our brother Qiyi has been exhausted for the past two days. Everyone is excited to be able to go out and kill the barbarians!"

Li Qing smiled and waved: "Go, go, don't play tricks on me, let me see my real kung fu!"

Seeing Jiang Kui leaving with a happy smile, Li Qing shook his head and said to Shang Haibo: "Mr. Shang, how is the matter over there?" Only Shang Haibo can reassure Li Qing.

"Everything is going smoothly. Today I have sent the conscription order of the General's Mansion to the Fang family. I believe the Fang family is already discussing countermeasures." Shang Haibo laughed.

"Be careful that the opponent's civet cat is changing the crown prince, I'm fooling you!" Li Qing looked sideways at Shang Haibo.

"Hahaha, Fang Wenhai wants to fool me, he is not qualified yet!" Shang Haibo sneered, "Don't worry, General, everything is under control."

Li Qing stopped talking, turned his head to look at the battlefield, the earth barrier of the guard fort on the right was already as high as a person, the cavalry rushed over, threw those sacks high with one arm, landed on the base, and then roared away.The trebuchets, eight-ox crossbows, and bows and arrows on the main city and the fort seemed very weak, and could only cause negligible damage to the enemy.It took the opponent almost half an hour before they fell dozens of cavalry in front of the Fortress.

The gate of the city opened, and Jiang Kui's cavalry swarmed out. Wang Qinian had already ordered his subordinates to make way for the cavalry, so from Wang Qinian's position, several passages opened at the same time, and [-] cavalrymen swooped like dragons. out.

This time, the ones who came out to attack became cavalry. Wanyan Bulu appreciated his opponent's impromptu response, but he had absolute confidence in riding against cavalry. The grassland cavalry always suppressed the cavalry of Dachu.When it comes to the quality of cavalry, no army is better than the grassland.

The cavalry of the Prairie Coalition Army came from different tribes, and their weapons were also varied, like the five big tribes of white, yellow, blue, and red. The cavalry also had leather armor, and their weapons were more uniform. The rest of the small tribes were not as good. Only the officers had armor, and most of the ordinary soldiers were dressed in civilian clothes and wielded a variety of weapons.

Seeing the cavalry of the Changsheng Battalion rushing up, these barbarian cavalry immediately dropped the sacks in their hands, raised their weapons, and rushed up with strange screams.Jiang Kui's cavalry didn't rush forward like the opponent did, but formed a wedge-shaped attack formation. The distance between horses and horses was kept within five steps. On a galloping horse, this distance is quite dangerous , but with such a tight formation, the attack power is also huge. In comparison, it is like a barbarian holding a big pu fan in both hands, while Jiang Kui is twisting an embroidery needle with two fingers.

The two streams of cavalry, one left and one right, collided in an instant, and Jiang Kui's cavalry wings plunged into the opponent's formation like an awl.

Seeing that the cavalry of the Changsheng Battalion could maintain such a tight and orderly formation while running at such a high speed, Nuoqia turned pale and cried out, "Not good!" In his image, being able to complete this Only the No.1 general of the Bai nationality, Lord Huhe, and his Benlang army attacked in this formation. In the confrontation with the Shiwei people outside the Congling Pass, the Benlang army used this tight large formation to attack, The Shiwei people, who were more powerful than the Bai people, were defeated and lost in a row.The Changsheng battalion Qiyi in front of him could use this tactic with ease, and Nuoqia subconsciously felt that it was not good.

It wasn't until he was deeply embedded in 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 during the charge. No matter how good your skills are, what can you do?This is not a one-on-one fight, but a group fight, just like a fight, you come up with one, and I come up with a group, and each of them will flatten you with a single punch.The barbarians are really good at horseback. They can hide in the ground, switch from left to right, and even jump on the opponent's horse in battle, but this is all for nothing. , it’s impossible, you hid and avoided the one in front, but the one behind rushed up, without using a knife or gun, and directly hit you to death.

The cavalry of the Changsheng Battalion uniformly used standard weapons, each with a bayonet, a saber, and a long bayonet, but the barrels of the spears were made of materials that were easily broken. At the beginning, Jiang Kui didn't quite understand, what was the use of such a brittle barrel? , Face to face with the enemy, it will be broken.But after several experiments, he realized that this kind of stabbing gun is purely a one-time product, and the spear head is worth a little money. Bundled gun barrels.

The knight is running fast on the horse, stabbing with the spear in his hand, the speed of the horses on both sides adds up, and the combined force on the spear is a terrifying figure. Once the cavalry stabs the opponent, you must let go immediately, otherwise your arm will be broken. , Even people fly out with them, but this kind of technique of stabbing and letting go is not so easy to master. It will not work sooner or later. If you are too early, you will automatically give up your weapon before stabbing the opponent. , I am finished.So this kind of fragile gun barrel came in handy. Once it stabbed the opponent, the gun barrel under the force crashed, and it fell apart, and the force on the cavalry's arm plummeted, without causing any harm to the body.

The sabers of the Changsheng Battalion are also somewhat different from those of people in this era. The blades are slender and slightly curved. Li Qing spared no effort in the equipment of the cavalry, and he used all the high-quality iron he finally collected. Come to make a saber, if there is steel, then this kind of knife will be more useful.

Seeing that his cavalry were easily pierced through the formation, Wanyan Bulu frowned deeply, "This Changsheng battalion is really a newly formed battalion? How come there are so many cavalry, and they are basically well-trained , this kind of fighting power is no worse than the elite of our clan, right?"

Nuoqia saw his own cavalry keep falling off his horse, and his face was very ugly. "This Li Qing is a member of the Li family in Yizhou. The Li family is a wealthy family in the Central Plains. They must give him great support. That's why there is such a group of cavalry. Or This group of cavalry came from the army of the Li family in Yizhou."

The two were talking, Jiang Kui's cavalry wing had already broken through the enemy's formation, circled a large circle from a distance, and plunged in again.Started an assault from another direction, and in a short time, he actually killed one in and one out, the barbarian cavalry fell hundreds of cavalry, and Jiang Kui's cavalry lost less than a hundred people.

This exchange ratio surprised both Li Qing and Haibo, "It seems that I still think highly of the cavalry tactics of this era." Li Qing secretly thought that the barbarians are stronger individually, but compared with the ever-victorious battalion, the discipline on the battlefield is much better. It's too far away.

Li Qing suddenly had a thought, if he had enough cavalry, it would not be difficult to defeat Bayar.This idea caused Li Qing to suffer a big loss when he met Huhe's Benlang army in the future.

Jiang Kui killed extremely happily, but after rushing out this time, he had to go back, because Li Qing gave him a strict order to go back to the city.

Reluctantly, Jiang Kui looked at the opponent's cavalry who had been smashed to pieces by him, turned his horse's head, and rushed towards Fuyuan Fortress.

Gunners are depressed today.
