Chapter 146: A Moment of Victory (Part II)

The cavalry brigade of the prisoners was placed on the left flank, some distance from the cavalry brigade equipped with three short guns, and the three brigades still formed a zigzag structure.

But the cavalry of each brigade was not deployed at random, but in a company unit, two-thirds of the company was placed in the first line, and a third of the company was deployed in the second line.

This is a common tactic of the Sishang cavalry, when the first-line cavalry and the enemy are entangled, the cavalry out of the second line will choose to outflank, so that the enemy is in a state of being attacked on three sides, relying on the squeezing of the two wings to completely defeat the enemy.

At this moment, Shu Prisoner Mi knew the gap between the cavalry brigade he led and those active cavalry brigades.

By the time the two active cavalry brigades began to form formation, his cavalry brigade had not yet completed its deployment, after all, most of the people under his command were retired cavalrymen, and the training time had only been less than half a year.

Doodoo ......

A horn interrupted his thoughts.

The cavalry brigade in front of the pinzig had already engaged the Wei nobles who were counterattacking.

There is no doubt that the elite equipment composed of the nobles of the Wei State and the slaves and private servants is excellent, and the regular martial knight brigade in Sishang may have such equipment, but those baby bumps cannot be used here.

The cavalry brigade at the front did not use their usual tactic of shooting backwards and reloading, but drew the short gun after approaching, and after quickly activating it, inserted the short gun into the saddle bag, and the iron sword drawn and launched a charge.

The prisoners on the flanks also drew their iron swords, and there were not many enemies on the flanks.

Among the counter-shock cavalry composed of Wei and Han nobles, they were not professional comrades who trained together all day, but plum blossoms with each nobleman as a unit.

The slaves follow the left and right, the subordinates are subordinate to the side, and the nobles are either in the lead or sandwiched in the small array like a flower.

This is not a formation, but an inevitable result of the military structure.

Shu Prisoner Mi was on the front line with four companies, with about 600 enemies on the front, while the remaining six companies were on the rear flanks of the first line.

He touched for the last time a superstitious ghost and god shelter like a horseshoe that almost all the cavalrymen had on his chest, and shouted: "For the benefit of the world!" ”

The comrades in the back uttered the same cry, like the mountain wind blowing through the woods.

Normally, comrades are often called in the army, but some people feel that the title "comrade" is too strong, and originally "comrade" is a title between nobles, and it has to be a title between nobles with the same surname.

Comrades with the same surname and one heart and one mind, this is a relationship of the same line, although there is love as an explanation, but some people still don't like this title very much, especially some self-suffering extremes, although he is not, but many of his friends are from this faction, so he rarely uses it.

After the prisoner rushed into the enemy formation, his company soon had the advantage, because the formation had a great advantage against the almost no formation on the opposite side.

He squinted his eyes and stared at his opponent, who was clearly a nobleman.

He wears an iron helmet sold in the Sishang Soldier's workshop, and wears a leather armor uniform, with iron armor worn with iron rings in several key parts.

The enemy was about thirty years old, with the beard style that the nobles used to wear at this time, and under his crotch was a white war horse, tall and majestic, and at first glance it was not ordinary.

The slaves around this nobleman have been dispersed, and the nobleman is holding a slightly longer copper sword in his hand, just looking at this copper sword, he knows that this person's background must be above the doctor, because scholars generally do not have such a long copper sword.

The shirt exposed behind the leather armor was embellished with some symbols, which should be the family mark of a certain family in the Wei State.

Shu Prisoner Mi felt that the other party was a good hand, because the other party's bronze sword had been held flat, and there was no such posture of waving it in a panic when it was first impacted.

If a person who is not skilled in equestrianism is on horseback, his body must be shaking, and the nobleman on the opposite side has a very stable body, his legs are tightly clamped on the horse's back, and his feet are stepping on the stirrups, a bit like he wants to stand up, but he does not stand up completely.

The two of them were just looking at each other, and the nobles on the opposite side controlled the horses and wanted to seize the right-hand position.

If neither is left-handed, then whoever grabs the right-hand position first has the advantage.

The nobleman on the opposite side placed his horse in front of the captive, and then stabbed out a bronze sword, stabbing straight at the face of the captive.

The prisoner turned sideways, and the nail on the heel of the leather boot on his right foot stabbed the horse's belly, dodging the stab from the opposite side and adjusting the position of the horse, so that the positions of the two people were in a staggered state, each with a right hand.

The nobleman's eyes narrowed, and he could see that the prisoner was also a good hand, and he couldn't see anything when he dodged the sword just now, but he could control the horse to regain the right hand position while dodging, and he could know that the opposite side was also a person who had been on the horse for several years.

The moment the two people staggered, the two swords intersected, and the prisoner took advantage of the opportunity of the two people's old strength to go around to the left side of the nobleman, and he was in a state side by side.

Once side by side, the captive is the right-hand position, and the nobleman opposite will become the left-handed position.

Shu Prisoner Mi thought to himself, your horse is fast, but my horse is not slow, as long as you grab the position, you have no other chance but to escape.

But he didn't want to go around the back of the horse's tail just now, and the nobleman turned the horse sideways, stuck before he could grab the right space side by side.

The two looked at each other, and there was a hint of a smile on the nobleman's face, as if to say that I saw through your thoughts.

Staggered again, the two of them fought two more swords, and the nobleman's face changed color slightly.

When it comes to controlling horses, this nobleman is a little inferior, when the two are staggered and fighting, the prisoner can control the horse and adjust almost in place, blocking the nobleman who wants to follow his tactics of going around the back and side by side, but the nobleman's horse is gradually a little uncontrollable, and the pace is gradually a little chaotic.

The six arts of the gentleman do have archery and royalty, but the combination of archery and royalty is to shoot on a chariot, and the technology of controlling horses is also the technology of driving.

The aristocratic costumes were not suitable for horseback riding, and Wei Han horseback riding also began after the battle of Daliang City that year, and some nobles gave up the art of royalty and turned to learn horsemanship, the two are not the same thing.

The cavalry of Sishang such as the Shu Prisoners, especially the inheritance of their so-called irregular cavalry, originated from the horse-riding skills of the steppes north of Takayanagi.

The riding skills of the most elite martial knights in Sishang are far less good than those irregular cavalry such as Shu Prisoner Mi, but horsemanship does not represent combat effectiveness, if Wei Han launched an attack on the Wu Knights of Sishang, Shu Prisoner Qi is sure that he has now been defeated, and the formation has been scattered.

But on the other side are some nobles and slave children who rely on personal bravery, which allows them to play to their advantage.

When the two swords collided again, the captive could see beads of sweat on the nobleman's face, because the captive did not move, and the nobleman's horse moved two more steps forward because of the disordered pace.

It was these two steps that made the prisoner Mi, who had been fighting with the Hu people for several years in Gaoyanagi, seize the opportunity, suddenly accelerated, and took advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the chaotic pace of the war horse under the crotch of the nobleman opposite, and once again chose to move side by side from behind.

This time, the nobleman was a step slower, not keeping up with the pace of the captive, and when he wanted to turn around and stagger, the head of the captive was already stuck in the tail of his horse.

The Wei Han nobleman finally panicked, shook his body, and leaned sideways, but did not choose to hand over the sword in his right hand to his left hand.

"Not left-handed."

Shu Prisoner muttered secretly, a smile leaked from his face, and took advantage of the panic on the other side to slightly distance himself.

At the moment when the horse adjusted its angle and its hind hooves crossed the enemy's tail line, his two legs suddenly exerted force, and the spurs behind his leather boots pierced into the horse's belly.

With his right hand, he raised his iron sword, and with the acceleration of his horse, he stabbed the iron sword into the nobleman's back ribs.

In the moment of staggering, he heard the nobleman scream, and the bronze sword fell to the ground.

After helping a comrade in front of him hack to death a noble slave who had been entangled for a long time, he looked back.

The nobleman who had been fighting with him for several rounds was hanging upside down on the stirrup at this time, and the sword just now pierced the nobleman's lower ribs, and the wound was where the horseback was exerted, and he couldn't support it at all under the injury.

The war horse didn't know that its owner was seriously injured, and it was still spinning in place, but there was no one to control it.

The prisoner turned around and rushed forward with a few comrades, and at this time, the six companies of the second line behind had also completed the outflanking, and it was almost a few breaths to complete the division.

Once divided, it is to fight more and less locally, and the cavalry is hedged, and the most feared thing is not the enemy who is staggered head-on, but the enemy on the flank.

Hand-to-hand combat came and went quickly, and after a while, the more than 600 knights in front of the cavalry brigade had collapsed, leaving behind more than 100 corpses and fleeing backwards.

The battle on the side continued, and the cavalry of the four companies was already squeezing towards the middle, and the two companies did not obey the order but chose to pursue the fleeing nobles.

Shu Prisoner Mi quickly observed the surroundings, this cavalry battle has been won by his own side, although his side is fighting more and less, and those active short-shot cavalry in the middle also took advantage of their advantages to occupy an absolute advantage after opening the gap with one shot.

There were about two companies of soldiers gathered around him, and they were re-arranged, and the prisoners were staring closely at the location of the main general of Wei Han, where there were still more than 200 elite guards.

In the distance, two infantry soldiers were approaching this side, marching, but it was clear that the momentum had been taken and the army was disorganized.

Shu Prisoner Mi took a deep breath, thinking to himself that if I rushed straight at the main general of Wei Han at this time, it would be okay if I rushed down, but if I couldn't rush down, those large array of foot soldiers would stick over.

If it was about the merit of capturing and killing the enemy general, he had already had it, and the only way to grasp the battle situation was victory or defeat rather than personal merit, and he made a decision almost instantly.

Insert the position between Wei Han's two heavy infantry formations and the main general, and launch an attack on the heavy infantry formation between the marching, not seeking to break the formation, but begging the two phalanxes to stop and choose defense, delaying time.

He was sure that the remaining cavalry would make the right choice, as long as the harassment was successful, the eight small cannons would be adjusted and deployed, with the five hundred foot knights, and the subsequent cavalry would be able to break through the formation with one rush.

As for the main general of Wei Han, as long as those two step formations do not stick to each other, they are the turtles in the urn. When the cavalry regrouped, even if there were scattered pursuits, they would rush down with the force of a brigade.

With a long roar, he led two cavalry companies to rush straight in the direction that the infantry phalanx wanted to approach.
