Eastern Jin Invincible Iron Army

Chapter 218 Cavalry First Battle

Indeed, the Beifu army arrayed in a phalanx of cavalry was a moving target.Moreover, when Gao Jingzong formed the "Winged Cavalry" belonging to the Beifu Army, he strictly required the soldiers of the entire army not to dodge or hide in the face of arrow rain or swords and guns, but to block with their chests.

After all, the cavalry of the Beifu Army had only a short training time, and when the rain of arrows hit them, they also panicked.The huge casualties almost caused the soldiers of the Beifu Army to collapse directly.

Under such circumstances, Gao Jingzong did not retreat but advanced, while shouting: "Steady, don't panic!" while driving the cart forward and out.

Seeing Gao Jingzong's appearance, the soldiers of the Beifu army who were already panicking calmed down instantly.

"Protect the High Commander!"

"Protect the High Commander!"

In the eyes of the soldiers of the Beifu army, Gao Jingzong is the supreme god.They are all fanatical believers of Gao Jingzong.With the voice of "protect the governor", the sound of "protecting the governor" went through the sky.

"Protect the Governor"

The voice of "Protect the governor" became louder and louder, and the loose formation of the cavalry of the Beifu army stabilized instantly.

The essence of hussars combat is to fight more and less locally.When the cavalry wall is facing each other, only three or four cavalry in the phalanx can face a scattered cavalry.Line up knee to knee in a dense two-row row. Their outstanding horsemanship allows them to charge in a dense formation. The long lance can ensure that the opponent will be pierced first. Such a huge impact will bring destruction to the enemy. blow.Since the establishment of the hussars, the Eastern cavalry from the Mongolian Plateau has no room for survival in Europe.

In order to maintain this kind of cavalry combat effectiveness, it is necessary to be brave and fearless. In the professional army, the best way to do it is to follow the British lobster soldiers formed after the Polish hussars combat concept (both red shirts, which look like cooked lobsters. ) The lobster soldiers with muskets will charge against the enemy's bullets until they reach twenty steps in front of the enemy's formation, and then shoot in a row. It was like queuing up to be shot.Therefore, the British lobster soldiers became famous all over the world and established the glory of the British Empire on which the sun never sets.

While the Xianbei cavalry drew their bows and shot arrows, the cavalry of the Beifu Army in a dense formation were still charging.

"咻咻咻......" There was a dense sound of piercing through the air, and the cavalry of the Beifu Army wearing armor and holding folding shields made of fine steel could defend most of the vital points.However, the dense rain of arrows is pervasive, and can easily hit the eyes, throats, or faces of those unlucky cavalrymen.

"Plop, plop..." Like dumplings, the cavalrymen of the Beifu army who were hit by the arrow fell off their horses one by one.Without waiting for them to get up, the cavalrymen of the Beifu army who were only five steps behind still mechanically rammed into them, trampling the compatriots and comrades in arms who cherished the sun into a pulp.

In just one round of arrow rain, the first row of [-] cavalry fell as many as [-] people.However, there was only a little confusion in the cavalry formation of the Beifu Army.As long as it is a fallen horse, the cavalry in the back row will automatically accelerate to make up for it.

Seeing the Beifu army attacking like moths throwing a flame, Murongde was dumbfounded: "Why aren't the soldiers of the Beifu army afraid of death? Don't they die?"

But when Murong De clearly saw the cavalry of the Beifu Army who fell from the horse with the arrow, Murong De knew that the arrows of the soldiers of the Yan Army did not miss the target.We know that the relative speed is superimposed. The high-speed charging horse can reach an astonishing speed of [-] kilometers per hour in an instant. The distance of only eighty steps is only three or two breaths of effort, even an elite shooter can only take three arrows in front of the battle.Most of the more than three thousand Xianbei cavalry only had time to shoot an arrow, and as a result, the cavalry of the Beifu Army rushed in front of them.

The Xianbei cavalry who hadn't put away their bows and arrows were frightened to death in an instant. The Beifu army suffered so many casualties that almost two-thirds of the five hundred cavalry in the first row fell off their horses. Even in the entire army, this casualty ratio had reached close to [-]%.However, the formation of the Beifu army was not chaotic at all.What made them even more frightened was that the shining spear was about to pierce their eyes...

The standard equipment of the Xianbei cavalry is the small and exquisite scimitar of the crescent moon. It is not because the Xianbei are poor in physique and cannot handle heavy weapons, but because they are riding on bare horses without stirrups. Weapons will make them lose their balance.At this time, the soldiers of the Xianbei cavalry could only watch helplessly as the sharp spears of the Beifu cavalry pierced their chests, heads, and throats...

The two torrents of cavalry collided without any tricks, and they were immediately turned on their backs.If ordinary cavalry collided like this, they would definitely have broken bones and suffered heavy casualties.However, the Xianbei cavalry was the first to be neatly picked up by the cavalry of the Beifu Army.The spears of the cavalry of the Beifu Army were not lifted by the arms of the soldiers of the Beifu Army, but by the strength of the belly of the horse. As a result, a shocking scene appeared. At least three or four hundred Xianbei cavalry were picked up neatly by the spears. half empty.

It is not surprising that there are one or two perverts at the level of God of War on the battlefield, like Overlord Xiang Yu or Lu Bu, who can directly use their weapons to fly the enemy away from the horsemen.However, three or 400 people were provoked at the same time. Such a result is too scary.

Some Xianbei cavalry pissed in fright on the spot, while others turned around and ran away in fright.There are also lucky people who escaped the first stab, in fact, their luck is not always so good.Because the Beifu Army's cavalry formation has as many as eight rows.

There were shrill screams and wailing sounds, the wailing sounds of war horses, the sizzling sounds of swords and guns piercing flesh, and the squeaks of bones breaking and horseshoes stepping on human bodies, all kinds of sounds filled people's ears.

Liu Yunfei was dumbfounded and said, "This... this... how is this possible?"

Jiang Fang was dumbfounded and said, "Cavalry can still be used like this?"

The soldiers of the Beifu army looked at Gao Jingzong with adoring eyes, and raised their arms and shouted: "Gaodudu Wansheng!"

"The high governor is mighty!"

"Gao Dudu is domineering!"

Seeing such a scene, Gao Jingzong was so excited: "Attack, attack, attack, hurry up!"

The fast-paced drums sounded, and after receiving Gao Jingzong's order, seeing the invincible Xianbei cavalry vulnerable in front of them, these soldiers of the Beifu army became even more frantic...

Back then, the Polish cavalry used this tactic to chase the Cossack cavalry into the sky and into the ground, and the Polish hussars also earned the reputation of a "demon".When dealing with the Mongolian cavalry, the Mongolian cavalry also wanted to cry but had no tears.You must know that in its heyday, there were only more than 15 Polish hussars.And their hostile Cossack cavalry had a full [-] horses. Even the polar bear, known as the fighting nation, knelt down to the Polish cavalry in the Battle of Orsha.
