Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 1064 The Strongest Cavalry Showdown

Chapter 1074 The Strongest Cavalry Showdown

Although they were all afraid of Jieqi's power, they were even more afraid of the crossbow in the hands of Wei's infantry.Or the kind of weapon that explodes mines.At this time, everyone on both sides of the battle held their breath and carefully observed everything on the battlefield.

"The cloud follows the dragon, the wind follows the tiger, fame and wealth, dust and soil." Ye Xian did not beat drums to cheer, but roared this song of the Red Scarf Army.Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the Chinese army began to sing along: "Looking at Shenzhou, the people are suffering, and the fertile land for thousands of miles is barren."

The more the voice sang, the more and more people matched it.Especially when the voice reached the infantry formation, the infantry soldiers shouted in unison: "Good boy, don't leave your parents, just for the common people and not for the master." At this time, the two armies finally brought their speed to the peak, and the cavalry of the Anxi Army followed suit He yelled: "Holding the steel knife 99, kill all the Hu'er and stop. I am a man, why are the Tartars like horses and cows?"

The cavalry of the Anxi Army finally fired the crossbow arrows that had already been stringed in their hands.They also all knew that the charging speed was too fast, and they only had one chance to fire.Although there is a chance to fire, the effect that can be achieved in the face of this kind of Persian fish-scale armored cavalry with superior defense capabilities is definitely not ideal.Although Wei Guo's crossbow machine is powerful and has strong penetrating power, it depends on what the target is.If it is an ordinary leather armor, within a hundred steps there will be death but no life.If it is an ordinary iron armor, it takes fifty steps to break through the iron armor, but the fine steel fish scale armor is only thirty steps away, and the horse crossbow does not have 100% armor-piercing ability.

At a distance of more than 100 steps, the sound of "咻咻咻" pierced through the air, and the hundreds of riders who were rushing in front of Ma Guangbi had turned into dense hedgehogs.However, there are very few cavalry on horseback.In this round of crossbow machine shooting, thousands of arrows were fired, but only a few hundred battles were achieved.It's not that the Anxi cavalry's shooting skills are too poor, but that the opponent's defense is too strong.

Ma Guangbi didn't care about the death of hundreds of trilogy, even the expression on his face didn't change.When all the hundreds of riders in front of him were empty, he drew out the wolf-head heavy saber and waved it casually.The upper body of an Anxi Army cavalryman was cut off, and the horse continued to charge forward with his lower body humped.

Elite against elite, ace against ace, sparks sparked from the very beginning.In fact, there are no tricks to speak of in cavalry battles. Things like cavalry battles for hundreds of rounds in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms are simply nonsense.In cavalry battles, life and death are on the line, either the enemy dies or we die.

At this time, whether it is the cavalry of the Western Army of Wei Guoan or the fine cavalry of the Jie people, they have encountered the strongest opponents since their formation.If you look at it from the air, the black and red cavalry are like two torrents.Each wants to dissolve the other.It's a pity that they can't help each other now.If this war is described as melting snow with a soldering iron, then when the snow melts, the soldering iron is also cooling down rapidly.

Ma Guangbi was still so brave, he almost didn't have any decent moves, they were all seemingly light waves.However, with the rapid impact of the cavalry, coupled with Ma Guangbi's terrifying power, the Mingguang Armor is like paper, which can be broken with a single cut.Ma Guangbi didn't care about accuracy, he just waved when he saw someone in front of him, and then there was a dead person or a dead horse in the world.The strong impact, the terrifying lethality, and the scene of flying flesh and blood made all the troops under the Wei State's command tremble with fear!

But all this did not deter the Anxi cavalry.Although none of the ordinary Anxi soldiers could resist Ma Guangbi's blow, countless Anxi soldiers slammed into Ma Guangbi's knife like moths throwing fire.With Ran Min's bravery, in the first battle, he could only kill more than [-] Xianbei people, and he was so tired that he vomited blood.However, although Ma Guangbi is brave, he is only on the same level as Jin Nu, Tie Nu, Lin Heishan or Ji Wei.Knowing that they are not Ma Guangbi's opponent, those brave Anxi Army soldiers still use their lives to win the opportunity for their comrades to injure Ma Guangbi.

Gradually, Ma Guangbi also felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Although he killed fiercely, he did not frighten the cavalry of the Anxi army.

"We are not here to stop Jie Qi, but to fight! Jie people want to charge and kill, we will accompany him to charge and kill!"

Gradually, Ma Guangbi felt like he had entered a swamp, with crises everywhere.His black second-generation Pegasus mixed-breed horse was already stained with blood. Seeing that Ma Guangbi could not be hit, the Anxi army soldiers all aimed at his horse.Although this horse is also very psychic, no matter how psychic a beast is, it is just a beast.Just like the Japanese, how to pretend, they are also wolf-hearted.Ma Guangbi looked at the war horse distressedly, looked back, and found that there were only a few dozen Jieqi following him, at this moment, he couldn't help feeling anxious.He roared like a beast: "Go, go, don't stop!"

Just as the cavalry charged, the Wei infantry also began to change formation.They walked slowly towards the battlefield, slowly turning into a huge Yanyue Formation.Ye Xian's plan is actually not complicated, it is to use the cavalry's delay, let the infantry use long-range weapons to suppress the Jie people's cavalry.

In fact, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of large-scale battles, in the era of cold weapons, not everyone participated in the fight.At this time, the two sides have invested [-] cavalry, but in fact, only a few thousand cavalry are being fought by each side.However, this war is more tragic than ever.Facing the enemy's swords and guns, none of the generals of the Anxi Army chose to dodge. If they dodge, they may reduce casualties, but it will affect the impact speed!It will even affect the comrades behind!

No, because the Wei cavalry adopted advanced training and combat concepts from later generations.The formation of Wei Anxi cavalry is very dense, so in the case of overall disadvantage, they can maintain local advantages.Although each Jie rides against three to five Anxi army cavalry at the same time.Two fists are hard to beat with four hands. Not everyone has the bravery of Ma Guangbi. In the battle, although Jie Qi has the advantage of horses and physical fitness, his losses are no less than Anxi's army.

"Hold on!" Ye Xian was also anxious.In this battle, he cannot be defeated.The state of Wei needs to establish its prestige in Central Asia, and Jieqi is the chicken used to greet him.

Liu Yan stood on the top of Taluosi City, watching the battlefield.At this moment, his heart felt like a knife was twisted.Two lines of tears couldn't help but drop down!The warriors of the Jie tribe have never paid such a high price for a single charge
There are no tricks at all in the confrontation between cavalry and cavalry, and there is no room for tricks.A single shot and a knife can instantly determine life and death.As the battle continued, Jieqi's advantage gradually disappeared.Ma Guangbi's [-] fine Persian fish-scale cavalry are not weaker than the Anxi cavalry of Wei State in terms of equipment, and they are not weaker than the generals of the Anxi Army in terms of training.However, due to the superiority of race, Jie people are more powerful and explosive than Han people.Therefore, the eight thousand elite cavalry and the cavalry of the Anxi Army are almost indistinguishable.

Equipped with the top horses and the most sophisticated armor, the Jie people themselves are sturdy people. In addition, the Jie people and the Han people have a sworn feud, so when the cavalry hedged, the cavalry losses of the Anxi army were also great. small.Arranged in a neat column, a cavalry company could not even last for a stick of incense before they were all killed.At this time, all the officers and men of the cavalry of the Anxi Army were fighting instinctively.They are all fighting by burning their lives.

Ye Xian stood under the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, closely following the development of the battle. The commander-in-chief flag behind him was fluttering in the wind, and it was particularly conspicuous on the blue-green horizon.However, Ye Xian was not at all worried that the big flag behind him would attract the attention of the Jie cavalry. If the Jie cavalry could rush to the big flag behind him, it meant that the Anxi [-]th and [-]th Cavalry Divisions were defeated. The time of death has come.Instead of worrying about when they will die, it is better to watch how their subordinates fight the enemy bravely, even if they really can't stop the cavalry army of the Jie people, then they will be successful outside the city of Taluosi.

In ancient cold weapon battles, communication and organizational capabilities were extremely limited in ancient times. It was impossible for the formation to expand horizontally like the modern hot weapon army, to lengthen the front as much as possible and expand the front line of fire.In the ancient army, the requirement for the depth of the column was far higher than that of the horizontal column.The real battlers were actually the first few rows, and most of the troops behind couldn't see the enemy at all.It is completely based on the advance and retreat of the front team to determine the victory or defeat of the side.If you win the battle in the front and gain the upper hand, you will follow behind and move forward. If you are lucky, you can go to chase and pick up some bargains.The front started to retreat, and the people behind didn't know how to fight at all, so they turned around and ran away.This is the most common situation in ancient field battles.

In the Battle of Feishui, the hundreds of thousands of troops in the former Qin Dynasty did not fight, and the entire army collapsed just because the forwards were retreating.In the ancient army, the organization was too low. There were not enough grassroots officers to manage the soldiers, and there were not enough means of communication to let the grassroots understand the overall battle situation.So, the situation is actually quite simple.The total strength of the tens of thousands of people on both sides is only a few thousand in real battle.Once the casualties of these thousands of people are too large, the formation cannot be maintained, and there are signs of retreat, it will be a matter of time before the entire army collapses.In ancient battles, the real casualties are always in the stage of being chased after the collapse.

However, the two parties at war today are known for their tenacity.Needless to say, the Jie people, this is the most perverted army in the cold weapon era.In the original historical time and space, under the leadership of Hou Jing, this remnant of the Jie people launched the Hou Jing Rebellion, which almost killed Jiangnan into a white land and slaughtered more than one million soldiers and civilians in the Southern Dynasty.The two warring parties basically maintained an exchange ratio of [-]:[-]:[-].

At this time, Ma Guangbi saw that the eight thousand elites built by Liu Yan had killed more than two thousand people, while the Wei army on the opposite side also suffered heavy losses, and the death rate of the Anxi army had reached nearly [-]%.At this time, the formation of the cavalry of the Anxi Army not only did not collapse, but did not even loosen.

"Why don't you collapse? Why don't you collapse!" Ma Guangbi almost roared from his throat.It's a pity that the cavalry of the Anxi Army are still like moths throwing fire, one after another, dying.

The 54th Regiment of the [-]th Cavalry Division at the forefront, Colonel Jiang Fan, was killed in battle.Immediately, Yang Zhenwei, the deputy head of the colonel, took over Jiang Fan's command.However, within a quarter of an hour, Yang Zhenwei not only fell off the horse, but was crushed in the head by a horse behind him, and he didn't even have time to scream.The head and deputy head of the regiment were killed, and the head of the first battalion took over the command according to the system.

The first battalion commander was covered in blood at this moment, his beard was covered with blood and flesh, he was killing happily, when he caught a glimpse of his own battalion of more than [-] troops, less than one third of them remained, he was really in agony, and waved ferociously. Dao rushed towards the Jie cavalry standing in front of him, cut off the opponent's arm with a single stroke, and screamed to avenge Pao Ze.The general obeyed his life, but which one of his subordinates dared not give up their lives? Under the leadership of the first battalion commander, Anxi cut down hundreds of Jie cavalry one after another, which made some Jie cavalry feel terrified.

Although the Jie people were terrified, no one retreated.Almost all of these Jie people have an inexhaustible hatred with the Han people.At least one-third of the eight thousand spirits are young Jie people who survived the killing of Hu Ling when Ran Wei founded the country. They witnessed the slaughter of their relatives by the Han people and robbed them of their belongings.In this case, even if it is death, they would rather pull a back.

A Jie Qi whose right arm had been cut off had his last left hand cut off by an Anxi soldier. However, at this time, he still did not give up.He suddenly jumped up from his horse and rushed towards an Anxi army cavalry.Then the two of them rolled to the ground together, and were instantly trampled into flesh by the horseshoes that came one after another.

Scenarios like this continue to play out, and Capricorn people are desperate.The generals of the Anxi army did not show weakness.The first battalion commander shouted: "It's just desperate, who can't. Brothers, let Jiehu see my Han Jiaerlang's blood!"

Li Jingshan said: "General, the casualties of the 54th regiment are close to two-thirds, let them be withdrawn."

"I can't retreat!" Niu Zijie said: "The enemy and us are mixed together, retreating at this time is simply courting death. Let the [-]th Cavalry Regiment go up."

Just then, an accident happened. The acting head of the 54th Regiment and the first battalion commander died in battle. During the battle, the second and third battalion commanders had already died, and all the regiment and battalion commanders and officers were killed.However, the company commander's vision and ability are not enough, and he made several mistakes in succession, and was discovered by the seasoned Ma Guangbi.He immediately commanded the trilogy to take advantage of the void.

The 54 regiment appeared to be loose.Ma Guangbi was overjoyed, and even Liu Yan on the city wall was overjoyed.Ma Guangbi commanded the elite cavalry to rush forward desperately, chiseling the formation of the 54th regiment to pieces.The situation suddenly turned against the Anxi army.If the remnant of the 54th Regiment retreats, it is very likely that the No.54 Regiment, which is preparing to take over the 19th Regiment, will lose its position and be broken through by the Jie people as a whole. Can't lose anymore.

Rush to one of the battalions at the forefront of the 900th Cavalry Regiment, and more than 54 spears were erected, like a huge hedgehog formation.At this time some remnants of the [-]th regiment were turning around and returning.But instead of gaining life, they hit a dead end.

"The commander-in-chief has an order, those who retreat will die!"

More than a hundred soldiers from the 54th Regiment who retreated without authorization bumped into the spear array of the 54th Cavalry Regiment, and were directly strung into blood gourds.Seeing this scene, the other soldiers had no choice but to fight to the end.Soon the remnants of the [-]th Cavalry Regiment joined the [-]th Cavalry Regiment to meet the Jie cavalry.

With the new force of the [-]th Cavalry Regiment, the front that was on the verge of collapse was finally maintained.

Sun Tzu said in Sun Tzu's Art of War that a siege battle kills one-third of the defending enemy and fails to conquer the city, which is a disaster of siege.In fact, it's pretty much the same in field combat.Throughout the ages, it may be possible to rather die than surrender in a city defense battle, and fight to the last soldier. However, in field battles, it is very rare for the entire army to die.However, Ran Wei's army is the most particular about killing one's life for benevolence.In the army of Wei State, Taoist priests accompanying the army are very common, at least one Taoist priest accompanying the army will be in each battalion.These Taoist priests will publicize in the army and fight for the country. After death, they can live in the Great Wei Yingying Temple and become the patron saint of the Han people for generations.

Therefore, the soldiers of the Wei State were not afraid of death, because they would be buried in the Hall of Martyrs after their death. Every time there was a big sacrifice, the court of the State of Wei would organize the common people and gentry to pay homage to the Hall of Martyrs.Not only the gentry and ordinary people, but even the newly promoted Jinshi, after passing the degree and enjoying the banquet given by the palace, would go to the Hall of Martyrs to pay homage to the heroes.Therefore, the soldiers of the Wei Army are proud of dying in battle and of staying in the Hall of Martyrs. Before the battle, many cavalry soldiers of the Anxi Army would say to each other: "See you in the Hall of Martyrs."

Almost all the four regiments were killed in battle, and more than half of the nineteenth cavalry regiment who came up as reinforcements also suffered casualties. However, the Wei army's offensive was still as fierce as fire and as fast as the wind.

Ma Guangbi had long known that Wei's army was strong, but he never thought it would be so strong.After half an hour of fierce fighting, Anxi Army's 54th Cavalry Division and [-]th Cavalry Division had six cavalry regiments.However, the Anxi army remained firm and did not show signs of defeat.Gradually he was a little disappointed.

Although Wei Guoan's Xijun suffered a lot, he himself was not feeling well.At this time, only half of the eight thousand elites remained.Not only Ma Guangbi was uncomfortable, but even Liu Yan was holding on.Looking at Liu Yan, who was watching the formation on the city wall, he dug his fingernails into his flesh. If he stood behind him, he would definitely find blood dripping around Liu Yan.

Liu Yan prayed silently in his heart: "Hold on, you must hold on. The Han people can't hold on anymore, and they can't be defeated no matter what!"

At this time, soldiers on both sides of the battlefield were encouraging their comrades in arms.
