Chapter 372: Bump

At the last moment of the hedging between the two sides, the mount under the crotch of the battalion commander was unconsciously disobedient to one side with the biological instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

However, although Battalion Commander Hou had not experienced this kind of large-scale formation of cavalry head-on confrontation, he had also experienced a lot of other small-scale cavalry battles.

Therefore, in the end, Battalion Commander Hou, with his powerful operation, did not let the rifle bayonet in his hand deviate too much from the target.

His eyes were fixed on the Houjin cavalryman, while he tried to lower his figure and dodge the tiger spear on the opposite side.

Amid the roar of horses' hooves, the two sides staggered, and the bayonets encountered a slight obstacle, as if they had been inserted into the scarecrow during training. Then, with little pause, the bayonet continued to advance.

"Hit the target" Battalion Commander Hou only had time to think about it, when he felt a huge impact from his hand, and the tiger's mouth was slightly numb, almost making him let go and throw away the rifle.

However, the conditioned reflex cultivated by perennial training and actual combat still subconsciously makes a preset reaction.

Battalion Commander Hou's right arm was slightly flipped outward, and with the help of the shoulder straddle of the gun belt, the bayonet made of specially marked steel bent in a huge arc, and then, sliding against the enemy's body, broke out of the opponent's wound.

With a scream, the figure of the Houjin soldier turned backwards, and then disappeared in a flash.

Immediately after, the corner of his eye swept away, and a vacant position was vacated around him, and a trumpeter to his right was already in the hedge just now, and he didn't know where he had been hit.

He didn't have time to care, because several Houjin cavalrymen appeared in front of him one after another, and one of them, a guy in heavy armor, held a mace and "whew", and slashed in front of his eyes.

Battalion Commander Hou just relied on instinct and subconsciously dodged for a while, only to find that the mace was far away from him.

The time for the horses to staggered is only a short moment, that is, everyone basically only has one chance to attack. Even, if the training is not qualified, there will not even be this opportunity, and the charge will be made immediately, which is so important to pay attention to the quality of personnel.

And although the heavy armor Houjin cavalry was wearing heavy armor, which suppressed the speed of the horses to a certain extent, but the two of them were staggered with each other, and the speed of Battalion Commander Hou was not slow, so at this time, he had no chance to attack a second time.

Battalion Commander Hou drew his saber and observed the situation around him, and at this time, the war horse had already run with him to a depth of 30 meters in the cavalry array of the Houjin Army.

However, the first column of cavalry he led had already stopped charging with him.

No way, war horses are always intelligent animals, and as animals, no matter how they are trained, it is impossible for them to become dead.

After a round of face-to-face encounters, the horses under the crotch of the first column of cavalry instinctively reduced the speed of the charge, and after continuing to attack for 30 meters and encountering dense groups of hedge horses many times, the speed became even slower.

Therefore, by now, their first column of Chinese cavalry is no longer able to sprint.

However, they don't need to charge anymore, modern cavalry warfare, the emphasis is on close cooperation, and they have already completed their tasks.

In the case of numerical inferiority, the first column of the Chinese cavalry, with a dense formation, occupied an absolute advantage.

The front row hedged, completely more than 120 Chinese cavalry, facing less than half of the Houjin cavalry, the Houjin army had a numerical advantage in the situation, but could not play in the front line. In the first round of encounters, more than half of the cavalry were shot down.

At this time, it was the turn of the Chinese cavalry to carry out another tactical move of the new cavalry tactics, "detachment".

The battalion flag in the hands of Battalion Commander Hou waved again, and the remaining trumpeters blew in the front row of the noisy enemy troops.

Hearing the sound of the trumpet, they rushed into the enemy array, forced the first column of Chinese cavalry on both sides of the enemy and us, quickly turned their horses, drew their flintlock revolvers, and rushed towards the closest place to their flanks while firing.

They accelerated their disengagement with the enemy because they needed to charge for the second column of cavalry to make room for the next round of assault.

In the face of a rare and powerful close-range firepower projection, where did the Houjin army dare to stop it, naturally the first column of the Chinese cavalry stood out of the encirclement and broke away from the battle area.

At this time, the remaining Houjin cavalry who had just exchanged hands with the first column of the Chinese cavalry, and survived from the other party, felt that they had escaped from the jungle of swords and guns.

But before they could take a breath, the Huaxia cavalry in the second row, like a city wall, lined up in a dense formation, rushed towards them as if the incident just now was repeated.

The sharp sabers in the hands of the Chinese cavalry on the opposite side shone coldly in the sun, and under the acceleration of the horses, they were like the king of Hades.

The Houjin army had just rushed through a round, and suffered a big loss, and there was already a psychological shadow, plus the speed of the horses dropped a lot when they rushed over, and the local disadvantage was even more obvious.

What's more, most of the weapons in their hands were broken, or they didn't have time to take them back, and they were almost powerless in the face of the second column of Chinese cavalry that came in a hurry and waited for work.

And the dense and straight array of the Huaxia cavalry on the opposite side was the same as the first round of confrontation just now, so that they had no room to avoid to the side.

So, after another round of back-to-back duels, the Houjin cavalry suffered heavy losses again.

After the second column of Huaxia cavalry passed through them, they did not stop, and these Houjin troops, who were confused by the first round of cavalry charges, were just a head.

They are not here to deal with them, as the shock force of the second round.

continued to accelerate, and in the next moment, the second column of the Huaxia cavalry queue rushed into the large force of the Houjin Army that was parked there and was ready to restart the charge.

Houjin's formation was in chaos, and the high-impact side always had an advantage, and another violent collision occurred. After the roar, the place where the impact occurred was littered with dead and wounded human stumps and the corpses of war horses.

The tactical movements of the first column were exactly the same, and the second column of Chinese cavalry also took out flintlock revolvers and withdrew their legs to both wings while fighting.

The interval between the two rounds of impact was only a few seconds, and at this time, Hou Jin's follow-up cavalry queue did not have the opportunity and time to adjust their direction, and they were slowing down in the face of the corpse obstacles all over the ground.

At this time, the third round of Chinese cavalry assault suddenly came again.

This time, the Huaxia cavalry did not dare to rush too fast, the previous two rounds of confrontation had created too many obstacles, and no one could guarantee that he could gallop safely in this situation.

However, this has been expected for a long time, and they have already made corresponding adjustments to this when they trained. The Huaxia cavalry in the third column, the density of the formation they maintained was much more sparse than that of the previous two rounds of cavalry.
