Chapter 846: Cavalry Hedge
"Well, that's it, everything goes according to plan." Hu Mang nodded. Then a series of instructions were issued from his mouth, and the officers whose names were called stood up one by one, and the other officers who were not named were also studying carefully. As far as they are concerned, with the continuous expansion of mercenaries, the number of troops they lead will only increase, the rank on their shoulders will become higher and higher, and there will be more and more carob beans.
On the battlefield, Goyle and Mazamu each slowly approached the mercenary camp with 3,000 cavalry.
Although in the big tent, Ku Bao'er rejected Muren's advice to fight cautiously, but both generals knew that mercenaries were not easy to provoke. This time, of course, it is prudent to be the enemy. In fact, judging from the fact that only 3,000 cavalry were sent to them, the intention of temptation was already very obvious, otherwise, Ku Xiao'er, who now has an army of 50,000, would have to send at least 10,000 cavalry.
Because it was a temptation, the two generals did not mean to rush forward, but slowly approached, and they also wanted to see how the mercenaries would react to their arrival.
Under their gaze, there was a quick reaction in the mercenary barracks, and a group of horsemen who looked very majestic appeared, and walked out of the barracks, as if there was an endless stream, giving people a sense of flawlessness and a sense of endlessness.
However, this feeling was quickly put to an end, because the cavalry that appeared first had blocked their view, making it impossible for the two generals to see the reality inside the mercenaries.
General Goyle sighed softly, and the mercenaries' tricks made him feel bottomless. In contrast, Ma Zamu looked at the other party with a look of resentment. It was precisely because of the mercenaries' shameless sneak attack last night that not only lost his old nest Saihan Mountain, but also robbed his long-time home in the mountain, and even his deputy general Plaa died because of it. With this, he is now angry, and he only wants to inflict heavy losses on the mercenaries, avenge his brothers, and be angry for himself.
As they advanced, the distance between the two sides grew closer and closer. By the time they reached the land of four miles, they had already entered the distance of the cavalry charge, but the mercenaries on the opposite side were still only in formation, and they did not seem to have the slightest intention of attacking.
"Humph! Bravado. "Seeing that the mercenaries didn't move, that is, they didn't charge or retreat, the angry Mazamu decided to rush out and try it, he wanted to see the other party's catties." Come on, launch an attack. ”
At the sound of the order, the three thousand Tatar cavalry moved, their hooves flying, raising clouds of dust and mist on the ground, and rushing towards the mercenary cavalry position with shouts and shouts.
On one side, Goll saw that Ma Zamu even greeted one person, so he took the lead in initiating a charge, and his eyes couldn't help but sink. At this moment, an adjutant general on the side asked, "General, are we also cooperating to launch a charge." ”
"Let's wait and see." Goyle said calmly. This was his first real head-to-head encounter with a mercenary, and he wanted to know more about it.
The left flank did not move, only Mazamu's army rushed out, but he did not seem to be afraid, and there was only one word left in his eyes. Although the number of cavalry on the other side was quite large, there was not the slightest fear in his eyes. On the battlefield, if you win more with less, you don't know what is going on, maybe it will happen to you.
The Tatar cavalry that rushed forward drew closer and closer, and soon the distance from four miles became two. At such a distance, the cavalry should be attacked, otherwise there is not enough space for it to exert its speed, and if it collides, it will be a loss.
Everyone understands this truth, but the mercenaries seem to not know, and the cavalry rides on horseback, and does not move, as if there are not 3,000 enemy horsemen who can kill people, or 3,000 sheep without any threatening power.
"Kill!" Seeing that the distance was already close to two miles, and it was still shrinking, a flash of joy flashed in Mazamu's eyes. The mercenary is so big that he is not ready to charge, in this case, the advantage is all in his hands, once he is allowed to approach the enemy cavalry at such a speed, then he will take advantage of the situation to give the other party a hard blow, at that time his three thousand cavalry will send out several times the strength, and it is not impossible to win.
"Are they crazy? Come on, follow me to kill. Goyle, on the other side, saw everything clearly, and he was really shocked to see that the mercenaries were still motionless at such a distance. At such a distance, there is no chance to charge without a charge, is it just a legend that I heard how powerful the mercenaries are, in fact, this is an infantry on a war horse?
Goyle, who couldn't understand it and couldn't figure it out, decided not to think about it. After all, this is a godsend in the face of a cavalry enemy who does not know how to charge. He could even imagine how Mazamu would have killed all sides as soon as he joined the mercenaries. And such a great achievement cannot be taken away by him alone, he is bound to take a piece of the pie.
Goyle also moved, and three thousand cavalry charged, only two miles late. And as he also led the army to charge, among the mercenaries, Lu Zhuo, the commander of the recruit division who was standing in the front row, laughed.
Smiling, he suddenly gave the order, and the army moved to the left and right, giving way to the middle. Although he brought all the recruits, there was no problem with the order and prohibition, and the army began to retreat to the left and right. As they left, the six battalion musketeers who were blocking behind them were exposed.
Next to the musketeer, Xin Honghai, the commander of the independent division on horseback, saw that his vision became very wide, and his originally held high saber also fell, and shouted, "Shoot!" ”
On the front of the battlefield, Mazamu was less than a mile away from the mercenary front army, and even he could see the pale and frightened faces of those mercenary cavalrymen. At this moment, his heart was extremely happy, the speed of the horse was faster, and his saber could not help but drink blood.
And at this time, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed, and the mercenary cavalry, whose faces were obviously frightened, walked to both sides, revealing more than 3,000 mercenary musketeers behind them, and with a roar of shooting, thousands of bullets came into the air and flew in front of them.
At a distance of 500 meters from one mile to another bar, it was completely within the range of the Bayi bar, and under the explosion of gunfire, bullets in the chamber of the guns flew out one after another, like meteors flying in the sky, burrowing into the Tatar cavalry who were swinging their swords one after another, bringing up a puddle of blood.
Ma Zamu, who rushed to the front, did not avoid this rain of gunfire, one of the bullets was fired on his chest, and the moment the deadly bullet entered the body, he also opened his mouth to shout that Ma Zamu was stunned, the saber fell, and the whole person slipped on the horse's back like a poisonous snake without bones, and then fell from the horse and fell to the ground, bringing up bursts of dust.
Even when he died, his body rushed towards the mercenary camp, showing his determination to be disgraced.
Before the general's death on the battlefield, the ubiquitous bullets roamed the iron cavalry, one Tatar cavalry after another was shot and fell from their horses, and one Tatar cavalry after another died while still screaming a charge.
It all happened so fast, so fast that many people couldn't react. And as the cavalry rushing to the front fell off their horses one by one and died, the Tatar cavalry who were still shooting their horses behind finally felt the fear, the kind of scene that was about to be shot and killed without even having a chance to fight with the enemy was something that everyone did not want to see, and everyone was unwilling to encounter.
"Quick, quick, withdraw, withdraw!" I know that if I rush forward, I am just asking for death. More and more Tatar cavalry reined in the horses, turned their horses, and began to gallop away in the way they had come.
Among these Tatar cavalry, there were some warriors. They are not as afraid of death as ordinary people, but this kind of unequal slaughter, such an aggrieved way of death, is definitely not what they want and want. So at this moment, they would rather be cowards and turn around and run away than rush forward half a step in order to show their bravery.
As if they had expected to do this, the cavalry of the recruit division that was blocking the front once again got out of the way, and Ma Xiongshan, the commander of the light cavalry regiment, shouted, "Comrades, follow me to kill!" ”
The hussars moved.
The biggest change in the new 1st Army was the addition of heavy cavalry regiments and light cavalry regiments. As the name suggests, the heavy cavalry is the whole body armor, and the emphasis is on the technique of opening and closing, like a torrent of steel rushing into the enemy formation to kill the enemy; The light cavalry is a light uniform, emphasizing agility and speed, and they have little on them except the necessary sabers and crossbows, and they want to chase down the enemy cavalry as quickly as possible with the lightest equipment.
The movement of the light cavalry represents the beginning of the pursuit.
After Ma Xiongshan shouted, he saw countless light horsemen flying out like arrows, sweeping straight into the distance, while they galloped wildly, the bows and crossbows in their hands were not idle, one arrow after another was shot in the air, and at the same time they continued to chase and kill the defeated enemy horsemen.
The sudden sound of muskets and the sudden attack of the light cavalry were a blow to the 3,000 cavalry led by Goyle.
I thought that the cavalry would exert its strongest combat power when it had rushed to a distance of one mile, but I never thought that the iron cavalry of the mercenaries would be in danger behind them, and they would get out of the way again and again, bringing them a different experience again and again. Now it's okay, first he was stunned by the musket, and after waiting for him to turn the horse's head in time, the enemy cavalry behind him chased quickly, the bow and arrow were close, and he saw a soldier led by a famous man being shot by a bow and arrow, and the whole person fell to the ground from the horse, his heart was dripping blood, but he couldn't do anything.
