Chapter 1154: The cavalry is over



At this time, the Yuanzi battalion was rushing to the front, and the phalanx of the first team where Xingtai was located was even more in front

Suddenly, my eyes were empty, and when I looked up, there were not many Jiannu soldiers in front of me.

In this battle, Jiannu has already lost so much that he can't lose anymore.

Xingtai was extremely happy, and then there was a line: Am I not also a slave, how can I talk about this term, but there is not the slightest resistance in my heart?

The team was still advancing slowly, and there was a loud rumbling sound in front of it, and as far as the eye could see, the boundless cavalry was coming all over the mountains, and it was the main force of Jiannu's cavalry. The dust kicked up by the horses' hooves was blown westward by the wind, dragging long wisps of smoke trails behind them, which looked spectacular.

"I haven't given up yet, this is probably the last strength of Duoduo." Xingtai stopped the drum and shouted: "Stand still, prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

The words are not finished yet; The overwhelming rumble of the enemy cavalry as they charged had completely drowned out his shouts.

The troops stopped, and the spearmen of the first three factions crouched in the first row, the second half crouched, and the third row stood, and all poked out their spears to form a dense wall of spears. Behind them, the musketeers were reloading their ammunition at a rapid pace.

Xingtai did not rush back to his own formation, but stood alone at the front of the phalanx, holding a pergola and looking ahead.

The enemy's cavalry was huge, and from his many years of experience in the army, it seemed that it was at least more than three thousand, and perhaps more.

The armor on their bodies is colorful, some are yellow, some are red, some are white and some are blue, and they are all skilled horsemen drawn from the Eight Banners Army. The leading generals didn't know who it was, and they couldn't tell it from the banner alone.

However, Xingtai saw the arrogance of the Qing cavalry in the overwhelming charge of the enemy cavalry.

The frontal aspect of the enemy cavalry charge was very wide, a typical wedge-shaped formation, which looked like a huge triangle.

This cavalry charge formation is quite powerful, and it is originally used to storm infantry formations. Because it is a triangle and dense formation, the enemy has a small contact surface when counterattacking, and the damage caused to you is also small. Moreover, when charging in a triangle, you fend off one of the cavalry in front of you, and there are countless enemy cavalry behind, giving you a sense of powerlessness that you can't fight.

In addition, the triangular formation seems to be outnumbered, and the infantry will be under tremendous psychological pressure when they directly face them, and if one is not good, it will collapse in an instant

It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity that Jiannu doesn't know what kind of army he will face?

Xingtai smiled coldly, would the heavy infantry of the Ningxiang Army, armed with iron discipline, be afraid of the enemy's war horses?

From the very beginning, the enemy cavalry made huge mistakes. Read the full text of the latest chapterFor infantry in dense formations, a frontal charge of cavalry is equivalent to death, and a wedge charge is even more so. Once the vanguard has been knocked down a few rows, the rear cavalry will throw itself out of formation in order to avoid it. Even if the vanguard succeeds in breaking into an infantry formation, well-trained infantry will often block the flanks of the wedge. As soon as the flanks were blocked, the vanguard that rushed into the infantry formation was dumpling.

Don't forget, the infantry phalanx of the Ningxiang Army has eliminated spearmen in front of it, and there are a large number of musketeers in the back, so it is not too simple to slaughter the enemy cavalry.

It's close, it's close, the enemy cavalry is coming so fast, and in a blink of an eye it's already at the charging distance.

Xingtai turned around and strode towards the main formation, looking calm and composed from beginning to end.

To the north is a phalanx of the mighty camp, and in the corner of the array stands a big man wrapped in steel armor and holding an axe and gun. No need to ask, he is General Jiang Wu, the commander of the mighty battalion.

He stood there as if it were a giant rock.

Seeing that Xingtai was so calm, the donkey waved the axe gun in his hand at him. Xingtai took the spear handed by a soldier and raised it above his head in response. Then he stabbed the tail of the gun into the mud, crouched down, held the barrel of the gun with his hand, and stared viciously at the enemy cavalry that pounced.

Near, near, the enemy cavalry was like a strong wind blowing, and before they could rush to the front, the dust blowing in their faces made it difficult for people to breathe. But no one blinked, just stared straight at the chaotic hooves of the horses in front of them.

"Steady, steady, steady!" In the middle of the formation, there were shouts from officers everywhere.

At this moment, a cluster of boulder-like cavalry crashed headlong into the forest of spears.

The long neighing of the war horses was endless, and in the blink of an eye, a row of war horses was directly pierced through the chest by spears. The horsemen, under the action of inertia, were thrown fiercely and fell directly to the forest of spears, where they were stabbed into a sieve.

There was a crackling sound, and countless spears more than three meters long were broken

At the moment when the two armies came into contact and the spear in his hand pierced into the chest of the opposite war horse, Xingshengtai felt that his hands were numb and the barrel of the gun was broken. The angry horse's hooves kicked directly into their own breastplate.

With a bang, it was visible to the naked eye, and the deck on his chest was flattened. The internal organs were hot, and the whole ground was churning.

Ordinary people who have eaten this blow have long been kicked into the air.

Ke Xingtai was strong, and he took a breath to stabilize his body and stood still.

The horse fell, and the knight leapt into the air and fell behind him.

There was a hot and spicy liquid dripping down, flowing down Xingtai's bare scalp, and his eyes were red.

Still trying to stand up with wide eyes, he took a step back and shouted, "Fill in the back row spearmen...... Karma ......"

Blood gushed up his throat, and his voice went hoarse.

One of the spearmen stepped forward, plunged the tail of his spear into the mud, crouched down, and clutched the barrel with all his strength.

As soon as he retreated into the formation, there was another boom, and a Jiannu didn't know if the war horse was too good, or if it was too fast, so he flew directly over the head of the three-layer spearmen, fell into the musketeers behind, and directly smashed the two musketeers to the ground.

That guy was also fierce, although he was on the ground, he could instantly draw a mid-waist knife, sweep it, and cut off the left leg of a musketeer.

In the skyrocketing blood, the Jiannu hovered on the ground, stood up in an instant, and slashed at the face of another musketeer.

Amid the fierce shouts, the musket team was in disarray.

"Thieves dare!" Xingtai was furious, shouted loudly, spit out the blood in his mouth, and couldn't care so much, he pounced forward, and directly threw the enemy to the ground.

The musketeers rushed up, and the butts rained down on the enemy.

After vomiting blood, Xingtai came back to his senses, stood up, and shouted: "Don't mess up, everyone return to their original position!" With a flip of his hand, the axe hanging from his waist swung out, and with a "brush" slanted down, cutting off the enemy's head

Then he drove the musketeers back to the battle position one by one, and shouted to encourage morale: "Steady, don't be afraid, the offensive of the enemy cavalry is almost unsustainable!" ”

"Steady, steady!" The officers were still shouting.

The wedge-shaped formation of the Jianzhou cavalry had completely spread out in front of the Yuanzi Battalion A, and almost instantly, the spearmen in front collided with the enemy cavalry, and then stopped.

The power of the wedge formation is based on the cowardice and timidity of the enemy's infantry, but unfortunately these two terms are not in the dictionary of the Ningxiang army.

Rows of cavalry were piled up in front of the phalanx, about to lose their mobility.

Without mobility, the cavalry is a living target.

Looking at the warriors under his command, one by one they were stabbed off their horses, but the spear forest in the Ningxiang army formation did not see the slightest sparseness, Guerjia? Turai took a breath of cold air: What kind of army is this, it can actually use infantry to carry the impact of my Jianzhou Iron Cavalry, this point, I am afraid that my Eight Banners warriors will not be able to do it.

"Run, run, get around!" In the midst of such a high-speed charge, there was no room for a moment's hesitation. At this time, it was too late to think about countermeasures, and we could only make a decision in an instant based on our previous combat experience.

In fact, without his orders, or even the cavalry, the horses had already begun to gallop.

The wisdom of the war horse is high, and when he sees the shiny spear head in front of him, he will subconsciously run to the side.

All the cavalry instantly swept diagonally from the left side of the Yuanzi Battalion A team, and pierced towards the gap between the Ningxiang military formation and the phalanx.

……

In the distance, under the banner of the Ningxiang Army, Sun Yuan touched his chin, turned his head and glanced at Fu Shan with a smile.

Fu Shan also laughed: "The Jiannu cavalry is about to end, and at this time, our army can be regarded as truly winning a hearty victory!" "Sun Yuan was originally the designer of this kind of hollow phalanx, and he naturally knew the advantages and disadvantages of his army.

Not to mention the spear left stab tactic, the hollow phalanx was originally used to deal with cavalry. For the cavalry, this kind of dense formation of infantry is undoubtedly a moving city wall, and the result of hitting the wall with horses can be imagined

。 Of course, to turn the infantry formation into a wall, first of all, your soldiers need to have a big heart, or simply no heart.

In this regard, the Ningxiang Army has done a good job. He could also see clearly that in the face of the cavalry charge, the soldiers did not have any anxiety and commotion, and they held their guns so numbly, for them, this may be an ordinary training!

In the previous training, they had been completely numbed by the officers, and to put it mildly, they had been trained to be wooden men. On the battlefield, I only know to do what the officer orders, and I don't think about other messy things.

This is the modern army without humanity, this is the killing machine!

In fact, the cavalry could not rush into this infantry hollow phalanx at the beginning, but circled around the perimeter in search of fighters.

When Sun Yuan watched the movie "Waterloo", he saw that the 40,000 cavalry of the French army adopted such a tactic when attacking the British infantry formation. But alas, the French cavalry still failed.

With proper tactics, the fierce and strong French cavalry could not break through the infantry formations of the British army, let alone the Jianzhou garbage troops. That's right, compared to the French army a century later, Jiannu is rubbish.

Hehe, these idiots, they actually got into the gap between the phalanx and the phalanx, aren't they afraid that I will be surrounded on all sides?

This battle has been fought so far, in fact, all the suspense has disappeared.

Sun Yuan slowly turned around and looked at Tang Wenxing.

Tang Wenxing knew that it was time to move, although he was still expressionless, his body still trembled violently.

Sun Yuan: "You've rested enough, are you cold?" ”

Tang Wenxing did not speak.

Sun Yuan: "If it's cold, just move, and then it's time for your cavalry to go up." ”

"Yes." Tang Wenxing gritted his teeth and responded, turned around and yelled at his cavalry generals: "Go down and control the troops, wear armor!" ”

"Armor!" At the shouts of the officers, the cavalrymen, who had been standing by their horses in a bored manner, moved at the same time, and opened their arms to let the auxiliaries put on their armor.
