Chapter 439: "Show"

Zachdan was beside the second formation assault cavalry at the moment, and when he saw this scene in the distance, he knew that this was a good opportunity.

However, he also knew that his cavalry would also have losses after hedging against the opponent, and it would take a while for them to regroup before they could fight again, and they might not be able to seize this good fighter.

So Zachdan immediately ordered to release a company of cavalry as a reserve, ready to take advantage of the good opportunity of the chaos of the Houjin cavalry to give the enemy another heavy blow.

If you can successfully intercept and kill a part of the Houjin cavalry who have no time to retreat, it can be regarded as basically disintegrating the threat of this cavalry serving as a cover for the enemy's flank. It has a positive effect on the whole battle.

Then on the Jin Army's side, although they had already known the power of the Huaxia Army's dense charging cavalry formation from the deserters of the previous Jinzhou War, they did not expect such a powerful explosive force.

The sudden occurrence and abrupt end of the cavalry hedge just now made the other cavalry units of the Houjin Army feel a little caught off guard.

The other two cavalry teams that were preparing to come to encircle and suppress the two Chinese cavalry companies immediately changed their direction and rushed to the flanks of their own infantry arrays when they saw that the battle was over.

The assault cavalry of the first formation of the Huaxia Army also lost dozens of soldiers in the charge just now, and they were not able to treat the wounded on the spot, so they needed to continue to move forward and quickly disengage from contact with the enemy.

Such an action, although brutal, is the most correct choice in war. They left behind the corpses of men and horses all over the ground, and continued to run forward in pools of blood.

Sure enough, their actions were correct, and just as they were disengaged, in the direction of the rear of the Houjin army, two Houjin cavalry squads immediately controlled the war horses to surround them.

These two enemy cavalry squads followed the two Huaxia cavalry companies in front of them, pursuing them all the way, waiting for them to lose their speed.

When the time comes, they will surround and engage in a melee with the Huaxia army. This is the basic combat routine of the Houjin cavalry, and the officers of the Huaxia Army basically understand it.

Therefore, the cavalry company that had just been released by Zachdan was constantly adjusting the direction of its impact.

On the one hand, they needed to attack the remnants of the Houjin cavalry team that was still in chaos after being defeated, and on the other hand, they also had to meet the two cavalry companies that came forward as much as possible.

The men and horses of the two cavalry companies led by the cavalry battalion commander ran all the way to the bottom of the opposite hill, drew an arc not far from the hill, and turned to retreat.

The Houjin cavalry seized the opportunity when the speed of the Chinese military horses slowed down when turning, and accelerated to rush over and prepare to intercept.

However, the cavalry battalion commander had already received Zachdan's order, and the two cavalry companies he led did not engage in a fight with the Houjin cavalry, but kept retreating in the direction of their own array.

And which cavalry company that had just been released by Zakdan arrived at this time, accelerated sharply from the flank of the Houjin cavalry, and after a sprint, successfully defeated a Houjin cavalry squad.

In this way, the cavalry company that came to pick up the cavalry smoothly covered the retreat of the assault cavalry of the first formation.

However, the Houjin cavalry was not a weak stubble, and was defeated by two squads of the Huaxia cavalry in a row, but there was still a part of the Huaxia cavalry that was stopped by them.

Some of the intercepted Chinese cavalry, in the midst of the maneuver with the enemy's cavalry, continued to rush left and right, and slowly mixed with the enemy.

The cavalry of both sides that remained in the middle field was suddenly confused.

Zachdan knew that according to the current style of play, the cavalry team would not be able to distinguish a winner for a while.

So, he turned his gaze to the infantry queue on one side, the battle line on the infantry side was very wide, and the contact between the enemy and us was very large.

Moreover, when facing each other face-to-face, neither side has any possibility of tricks, and the winner of this battle is likely to be contested in a very short time.

At this time, the infantry array of the Houjin Army had already entered a distance of about 200 meters in front of the Huaxia Army's array, and the archers advancing in a skirmish formation in front of the enemy's array had even entered a distance of 150 meters from the Huaxia Army.

At this distance, the Houjin army has been bombarded by two rounds of grenade shells from infantry artillery, although the range of grenade shells is much closer than other types of ammunition, but when dealing with enemy infantry, this kind of ammunition is still the best choice.

The battle damage caused to the enemy by these two rounds of grenade bombardment was almost the same as the battle damage caused by the previous seven or eight rounds of solid bombs plus high-explosive bombs.

Although the enemy was able to maintain a calm and numb posture in the face of solid shells and high-explosive shells from infantry guns, the enemy queue finally became a little panicked under these two rounds of grenade bombardment.

That is, Baya Laji, who was responsible for supervising the war later, was very powerful and effective in supervising the battle, so that there were no deserters in the Houjin army.

And at this distance, the archers who formed a skirmish formation in front of the Houjin army array were not willing to be targets all the time, and began to throw light arrows at the Huaxia army.

The soldiers in the Huaxia Army array bowed their heads in accordance with military regulations and covered their faces with the specially made helmet brims on their helmets.

The light arrows thrown from a distance of about 150 meters landed in the infantry array, constantly blocked by the bulletproof steel plates inserted in the helmets and combat vests, making a clanging crunching sound.

The light arrows shot at this distance, even if they were wearing old iron armor, were almost like tickling.

What's more, the bulletproof steel plate equipped by the Huaxia Army was scientifically smelted and suppressed by a hydraulic press of nearly 100 tons, and its defensive power definitely far exceeded that of any iron armor of the same thickness or even beyond the thickness of this era.

The Houjin army has already begun to attack, so naturally the Chinese infantry will not just be beaten and not fight back.

Most of the recruits can't shoot accurately at a distance of 200 meters, so they don't waste ammunition, and a small number of high-class shooters consciously stood up at this moment, walked to the front of the queue, and used the adjusted rifles in their hands to shoot at the Houjin Army skirmishers on the opposite side.

Seeing the top marksman in the infantry showing off his marksmanship over there, the cavalry was also a little impatient.

However, a bow and arrow that can shoot a parabola on a war horse is much better than a rifle that can only shoot straight ahead, and the accuracy is much better. Therefore, the cavalry officers did not allow riflemen to fight.

It's just that some cavalry non-commissioned officers with good riding and archery skills walked out with the tacit consent of the officers, and in the positions on both flanks, they shot at each other with heavy arrows with the stragglers on horseback from Houjin.

On this battlefield, the elite non-commissioned officers of the cavalry and infantry in China showed off their best marksmanship and tacitly started a game without bets.
