Chapter 201: Cavalry and Archery Show Might, Enemy Army Defeated
Ps: I took a look at it yesterday, and found that it was almost a little bit of an order to break two hundred, and I hope that all brothers and sisters will support, now upload a chapter first, and the second chapter is around five o'clock!
"All soldiers, follow the future, rush to kill the enemy!"
After Cao Ren and Xu Huang hugged their fists and promised loudly, they rode their horses to the cavalry on the left and right flanks of the Cao army, roared, raised the weapons in their hands, and pointed at the Yuan Shu army in front.
The Cao army rushed into battle with iron cavalry, of course Ji Ling could not sit idly by, he also ordered Li Feng and Lei Shu to lead 20,000 cavalry under his command to meet the Cao army.
As soon as the iron cavalry of the two sides met, the iron cavalry of the Cao army did something that made all the Yuan Shu soldiers stunned, that is, riding and shooting, which was thought by most Han people at this time that only the northern Xianbei, Xiongnu and other barbarians could do something, it actually happened to the Han people, which is simply equivalent to the fact that the little Japan of later generations suddenly knelt in front of the Celestial Empire and shouted like a father, which can be described as surprising.
The cavalry of 10,000 Cao Army's iron cavalry can be said to have taken 20,000 Yuan Shujun cavalry by surprise, and a large number of Yuan Army cavalry soldiers fell from the war horse.
Although under the suppression of Li Feng and Lei Shu, such chaos was quelled, the morale of the 20,000 Yuan cavalry undoubtedly suffered a huge blow, and in the following time, the Cao cavalry, instead of engaging in white-knuckle combat with the Yuan cavalry, continued to adopt kite-flying tactics, which made the morale of the Yuan cavalry continue to decline.
If there is a later generation can see very lightly again, the tactics adopted by the cavalry of the Cao army at this time are more than a thousand years later, the Mongols were rampant, and later generations called the kite flying tactics of the back-shooting tactics, and this tactic was called the resting archery method by the Europeans. It is called Mangu by the Mongols.
This tactic allowed the Mongols to sweep across Europe and Asia, and in April 1241, on the banks of the Danube, they broke the most elite Hungarian army in Europe and killed more than 70,000 enemies. The song "Red Danube" was played with bows and arrows, which almost completely wiped out the resistance in Europe.
Of course, the factor that caused this outcome was not only because the European cavalry was hidden in iron cans one by one, although its melee ability was strong, but according to the iron rules of equivalent exchange. In addition to this reason, the mobility of the European cavalry can be said to have been greatly weakened, and more importantly, in the face of this new tactic, the surprise and panic and the lack of any means of response led to the final result of the 100,000 Hungarian army being annihilated by 70,000.
Compared with Europe, due to the long-term war with the Mongols, the Song Dynasty was undoubtedly more resistant to the Mongols' tactics, so until the fall of the Song Dynasty, the Mongols' tactics of war. The casualties brought to the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were far less great than those brought to the Europeans.
Similar to the Hungarian soldiers of later generations, the 20,000 Yuan Shujun cavalry who faced this battle method for the first time can be said to be dizzy, and from time to time dozens of Yuan Shujun cavalry fell from the horses.
The 20,000 cavalry of the Yuan Shu Army didn't know what to do for a while in the face of this never-before-seen tactic, and Li Feng and Lei Ji, who were the generals who led the troops, were also in a hurry to be full of Han.
Although the 20,000 cavalry under their command are all light cavalry with very strong mobility, they can't ride and shoot without stirrups. As a result, the 20,000 cavalry of Yuan Shujun, who wanted to speed up to meet the cavalry of the Cao army and engage in white-knuckle battles, were more like they couldn't wait to rush up to their deaths.
Not for a moment. In the face of such a battle, which was almost equivalent to being slaughtered by the enemy, the 20,000 cavalry of the Yuan Shu Army completely collapsed, after all, no matter who it was, in the face of a battle where only the other party could hit him, and he could not fight the other party, he would collapse. Because it's not a fight, it's a massacre!
"All the soldiers obey the order, draw their swords, and kill!"
"Kill~~"
The collapse of the 20,000 cavalry of the Yuan Shu army made Cao Ren and Xu Huang both eyes light up, such a god-given fighter, they would not let it go, 10,000 Cao army cavalry, hung the bow and arrow in their hands next to the war horse, pulled out the weapon from the waist, turned the horse's head, came to a big turn, accompanied by the raised sand and dust, roared and killed the Yuan army cavalry.
Compared with the ring-headed knives of foot soldiers, the melee weapons of cavalry are famous in history and are known as the sword of the Han Dynasty.
The historical record of the horse chopping knife is finally in the late Western Han Dynasty, such as the "Book of Han. There is a record in the Biography of Zhu Yun: "The minister is willing to give Shang Fang to cut off the horse, cut off one of the ministers' heads, and force the rest." I asked who was deflated to the day of Anchanghou Zhang Yu. ”
In the late Western Han Dynasty, there is also a historical record of chopping horses, such as the Book of Han: "Wang Mang made Wu to defeat Dong Zhong by cutting horses." From the late Western Han Dynasty, until now, at least more than 300 years have passed, according to the speed of the renewal of war weapons, it can be said that there are more than 300 years of age of the horse chopping knife, in fact, it can be regarded as an old antique.
But although it is an old antique, the horse chopping knife is not like other old antique weapons, the power has decreased significantly, but has continued until the Tang Dynasty before termination, it can be said that it lasted hundreds of years, and even, the famous Mo knife of the Tang Dynasty is evolved from the horse chopping knife, which shows that this weapon invented from the late Western Han Dynasty has how great success and practicality it is.
The reason why the horse chopping knife is called to cut the horse is because the soldier holding this huge and long horse chopping knife can often accompany the impact of the charge, and completely cut the enemy cavalry and the horse in two.
The iron cavalry of the Cao army, who rushed into the chaos of the cavalry of the Yuan army with a swordsman, often slashed the swords, and often filed the Qiao Temple, and the slashers of the Qiao Temple were strugg≈ling, and the oars were sloppy, and the oars were dying, and the southern sabers were dying, and the camels were hinged and the camels were hinged, and the swords were scheming
20,000 cavalry of Yuan Shujun fought against 10,000 cavalry of Cao Jun, and it didn't take long for it to fall apart, which made Cao Jun and Yuan Shujun feel a little unbelievable when they saw this scene, and when the soldiers on both sides came back from the scene just now, Cao's soldiers and pawns could be said to have a great boost in morale, on the other hand, Yuan Jun was pale one by one, and some of the timid ones fled back in panic.
