Chapter 383: Battle of the Street Pavilion (12)
From the archers entering the range of the land of one arrow, while firing with bows and arrows, the speed of the archers decreased significantly, while the lancers on both wings were still unabated, and they crashed into the entire Wei cavalry formation as fast as a wind.
200 steps...... One hundred steps...... Fifty steps......
In the state of galloping at high speed of war horses, such a small distance was almost instantaneous, and the lancers spared no effort to attack, quickly pressed the archers behind them, and took the lead in making contact with the Wei cavalry.
Both sides were galloping forward at high speed, and the huge inertia made this contact sonorous and powerful, the sound of spears piercing armor, the sound of war horses colliding, the sound of fighting weapons on both sides, and the sound of shouts, fights, and dying screams were intertwined, and the two sides entered a truly bloody and cruel battle.
The cavalry brigades of both sides did not slow down because of the collision in front, but rushed towards the opponent's battle formation with a more aggressive momentum, in this torrent of iron cavalry, the strength of the individual was almost minimal, and the overall and majestic momentum swept everything. The originally distinct red torrent and the brown torrent merged together, and at first it was only a small part of the contact, and in a short time, both torrents rushed towards each other, merging with each other on a larger scale, and it was no longer possible to distinguish where it was red and there was brown, and it became a completely bloody color.
The head-to-head duel between the cavalry was undoubtedly the most thrilling, the battle was unprecedentedly cruel and tragic, and countless riders fell off their horses and were trampled into mud during the duel. Whether it was the soldiers of Wei or Shu, at this moment, they were all red-eyed, using all their strength, waving the weapons in their hands. Shouting, fighting, the brave wins, the fight is bloody and heroic, which is destined to be a life-and-death contest.
When they were hit by the Shu army's archers, the Wei cavalry was eager to fly over this section of the death zone with their wings. In their opinion, as long as they are entangled with the cavalry of the Shu army, it will be difficult for the archers of the Shu army to play any role, and the cavalry of the Shu army will fight head-on, and the cavalry of the Wei army has a strong psychological advantage.
But they soon discovered that they were not only wrong, but very wrong.
The Wei spears needed one hand to manipulate the reins, so they could only use their weapons with one hand, and were armed with short and light bayonets. to facilitate the rider's handling and use. Rao is so, the Wei army lancers use the bayonet gun move is also very simple, can only use the method of stabbing, piercing, picking, due to the lack of strength of one hand, the power of the bayonet gun can only play five or six percent of the level.
However, the Shu army lancers are holding guns with both hands, and their bayonet guns are obviously longer and heavier than those of the Wei soldiers, and the advantage of holding guns with both hands is not only that they are stronger. And the moves that can be used are no longer single, stabbing, piercing, picking, sweeping, teasing, pointing, and blocking. A wide range of moves can be used, and they are varied, far more flexible than a single-handed gun.
As soon as Fang fought, the Wei cavalry suffered a big loss, and the spears they stabbed out were easily blocked by the Shu soldiers. The first batch of Wei cavalry who rushed into the cavalry formation of the Shu army were all impaled by the spear and died under the horse. Determine the merits of one-handed guns and two-handed guns.
The result of such a battle made the Wei army even more surprised, more shocking than the Shu army had a large number of archers, you must know that after holding the gun in both hands, the war horse can not be effectively controlled, it is easy to fall off the horse, can have such superb riding skills, it is even rarer, than the horse riding and shooting skills are more difficult to master.
It is not surprising that individual riders of the Shu army have such qualities, but it is strange that all the cavalry of the Shu army have such a level, which shocks the Wei army, which has always been proud of its cavalry, and feels deeply unexpected.
But they soon discovered the "secret" of the Shu army, and the saddles and stirrups they used were completely different from those used by the Wei army, their saddles were high at the front and back, with a depression in the middle, and their feet were on top of the stirrups.
Could it be that this is the reason why the Shu army has excellent riding skills?
Due to the close proximity of the two sides, the Wei army could clearly see the new equipment of the Shu army, and indeed, the saddles and stirrups were unheard of and unseen by them. No one believed that the Shu army could find tens of thousands of well-trained and capable knights, so the only possibility was these saddle stirrups, and only when they were equipped with these harnesses could they result; The cavalry of the Shu army made the same qualitative leap.
The first battle was successful, so that the morale of the Shu army was even higher, the lancers shouted, the blood rose, and advanced to the depth with a momentum like a bamboo, and the entire Wei cavalry position suffered heavy losses under the impact of the Shu army lancers.
Although they did not use long-handled weapons such as bayonet spears, they were equipped with Takahashi saddles and bilateral stirrups, and their body flexibility and mobility increased greatly.
The cavalry of Shu is marching wildly all the way and is invincible.
Tang Bin couldn't help but be stunned, his face was like ashes, he never dreamed that today's cavalry battle would end like this, he had boasted countless times how powerful and invincible the Wei cavalry was, and today's reality undoubtedly made Tang Bin take a heavy slap. What is invincible in the world, what is invincible, in front of the powerful Shu cavalry, the Wei cavalry will be vulnerable and become the object of unilateral slaughter.
Tang Bin also noticed the difference in the equipment of the Shu cavalry, and he suddenly understood, it turned out that the Shu cavalry suddenly became so powerful, it was because it was equipped with new horse harness, no wonder! No wonder! Although Tang Bin couldn't understand the true value of the Shu army's saddle stirrups for a while, the Shu army's cavalry became so powerful and sharp, which was obviously inseparable from these two things.
However, Tang Bin is not the kind of person who admits defeat easily, although the forward troops of the Wei army have been hit hard, but they have 20,000 people, and the advantage of troops makes Tang Bin have the idea of relying on more to win.
He immediately ordered the cavalry on the left and right flanks to send a roundabout attack to outflank the rear of the Shu cavalry. No matter how strong the cavalry of the Shu army is, it will not be able to withstand the enemy on its belly and back, and it will not be able to break through in frontal combat, Tang Bin can only hope that the sword will go sideways.
