Chapter 999: The Wonderful Use of Cavalry Archers

In recent years, the popularity of Takahashi saddle and bilateral stirrups has improved the quality of cavalry combat, and the rider rides on the horse, no longer needs to clamp the horse's belly with his legs or grab the horse's mane with his hands, and the weapons used have gradually changed from one-handed weapons and swords to two-handed weapons and halberds.

An inch long is an inch strong, the biggest advantage of two-handed weapons is that the strength is relatively large, such a cavalry duel, more exciting, the benefits of the body being fixed are not only this, after the hands are liberated, the rider can also do a lot of action on horseback, previously impossible to use actions such as sideways, dodge, leaning forward, moving now the rider can easily use, which increases the range of activity of the rider on horseback,.

The popularization of horse harness and equipment, but also let the Shu cavalry lose the initial advantage in the battle of Guanzhong, now the difference between the cavalry, is already very small, want to maintain the advantage on the battlefield, more from the requirements for cavalry quality, high-intensity training, rich combat experience, these can become the guarantee of cavalry combat effectiveness.

The cavalry of the Shu army and the cavalry of the Jin army can be said to be old birds on the battlefield, they have rich combat experience and good combat effectiveness, from the beginning of the collision is the splash of sparks, the neighing of war horses, the sound of people, the two sides are strangled in one place, colliding, fighting, fighting, the riders on both sides are enthusiastic, and they are trying their best to charge forward.

People are constantly falling from their horses, and even if they still have a breath, it is difficult to survive the chaotic riding battlefield, whether they are alive or dead, they will eventually be trampled into a pile of flesh.

The entire battlefield was shrouded in dust and smoke from the trampling up, and the yellow dust in the sky obscured everything, and many riders could only see things within a few dozen feet in front of them, and no matter how far away, they could no longer see clearly.

But no one cares about so much, because there are always enemy cavalry rushing in front of them, and the whole battlefield is plunged into a big melee.

On the top of the city tower of Huguan, Wen Yang climbed high and overlooked, closely watching this cavalry duel outside the city, the rolling yellow dust stirred up on the battlefield, almost covered all the battlefield, although Wen Yang was condescending, saw very far, but the battlefield in the west could not be seen really, only saw the two armies fighting, the shadows were full, it seemed to be real and illusory, and I couldn't figure out what the battle situation was.

Behind him, it was Duan Guang and Wu Mao, seeing the situation on the battlefield, they were all worried, Wu Mao said: "General Wen, looking at the situation, General Qi's side must not be very optimistic, why don't you lead a group of men and horses out of the city to rescue it?" ”

Wen Yang shook his head, pointed to a more distant place, and said: "Liu Yin is scheming, you look in the distance, the people and horses of the Shu army there are ready to move, as soon as you get out of the city, you will fall into the ambush of the Shu army, and even Huguan City may be threatened, so we must not act rashly." ”

"General Qi's ......"

Wen Yang's face sank like water, and said: "There is no other way now, General Qi's side can only rely on himself, I hope he can withstand it and repel the attack of the Shu army." ”

At the same time as the cavalry engaged, Liu Yin also arranged infantry troops on the flanks, if the Jin army defending the city dared to act, the Shu army's hidden infantry corps would be killed, and the Jin army's reinforcements out of the city would be intercepted, and they might even seize the opportunity to attack the city directly.

Wen Yang ascended to the heights and saw it clearly, so he naturally didn't dare to send troops out of the city easily, not to mention the cavalry fighting, even if the infantry defending the city went to reinforcements, it would not have a very good effect, so Wen Yang could only stand still and let Qi Hong seek his own blessing.

Qi Hong rushed to the battlefield to respond, from the beginning of the battle, was suppressed by the Shu army, in an extremely unfavorable situation, even if Qi Hong tried his best to save the situation, but the Shu cavalry was too strong, and the combat effectiveness was quite fierce, and never gave the Jin cavalry any chance.

Although the layman in the melee could not see the advantages and disadvantages of the situation, Qi Hong knew in his heart that once this disadvantage of the Jin army was formed, it would be difficult to recover it.

But he can't retreat, once he retreats, it will be an unstoppable rout, so no matter how difficult the situation is, Qi Hong must grit his teeth and persevere, as for what the final battle situation will be, Qi Hong can only take one step at a time.

Fu Zhu was a little annoyed, originally the Shu army already had an advantage, but the tenacity of the Jin army simply wiped out this advantage, cavalry combat, sometimes it is a morale, with the momentum of the rainbow, even in adversity, it can overwhelm the other party.

"There are no weak soldiers under strong generals, Wen Yang is known for his bravery, and this Qi Hong under his command is not weak, although he is at a disadvantage, he can still command the army to fight well, and he can indeed be regarded as a rare brave general." Liu Yin watched the battle in the rear, and when he saw the fierceness, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Fu Yan smiled and said: "Wenxuan, don't praise your opponent, now you should think about it, how to turn the advantage into a victory, according to your performance, it is only a draw at most." ”

Liu Yin pondered for a moment and said: "Now the people who are fighting with the Jin army are almost all lancers, and the archers who performed well before are idle, in my opinion, it is better to let the archers attack the left and right flanks of the Jin army's battle formation, and advance in a roundabout way, maybe there will be surprises." ”

Fu Yan's eyes lit up, Liu Yin's gaze was really poisonous enough, and he pointed out the crux of the Shu army with a sharp point, and it was true that the archers were active and excellent at the beginning of the battle, but as the war turned into hand-to-hand combat, the long-range offensive arms of the archers lost their superiority and became spectators on the battlefield.

And now Liu Yin proposed to reuse the cavalry archers, conduct roundabout operations from the flanks, and attack the enemy's soft underbelly, in the hope of receiving miraculous results.

Fu Yi immediately sent someone to give Fu Zhi an order and ask him to change his playing style.

After Fu Zhi got this information, he also quickly adjusted his tactics, so that the archers who had already retreated to the rear were divided into two routes, and marched in a roundabout way from the left and right flanks to outflank the Jin army.

The archers were also a little annoyed after losing the position of the main battle, but hand-to-hand combat was indeed not the strong point of the archers, so they could only sit on the wall and watch, waiting for the opportunity to attack again. (To be continued.) )
