What is the wall-riding tactic?
The explanation is very simple, but the cavalry adopts cavalry phalanx tactics similar to the infantry phalanx, using the uniformity of the overall strength to make up for the shortcomings of individual riding skills.
The cavalry stood shoulder to shoulder to form an iron wall, and relying on the advantage of the length of the lance, each part was to defeat the small with more, making individual abilities very insignificant.
Whether it is the Mongols or the Jiannu, every warrior who faces the wall-mounting tactic will find in despair that he alone has to face the situation where at least three people from the opposite side are stabbing him with spears.
Wave after wave of charge was really like a city wall, crushing itself directly.
The superb riding skills that he has practiced since he was a child have no advantage in front of these peasants with muddy legs who can only just sit firmly on the horse.
If you rush forward and fight hard, the best result you can achieve is just to change one for another.
This is the result, but we still need to be able to form the formation as closely as the other side and have as good discipline as the other side.
Agricultural peoples rely on heavy armor, ultra-long-range crossbows and firearms, as well as a huge population base and productivity.
The nomadic people are naturally stronger than the military. In particular, the quality of the cavalry is much higher than that of the farming people.
If farmers are allowed to fight with people who grew up on ponies and win by force, unless they have a brain convulsion. Are they okay with their brains? Therefore, there is only one real quick way, and that is the wall-mounting tactic.
Once this tactic comes out, it is a great weapon to help the nomads learn to calm down.
The wall-riding tactic is the ultimate bayonet move.
If there is a better way, no opponent will take this step with you. This way of playing is to use energy to see who can kill whom.
After all, there are many farming people, so it is cost-effective to replace one with another.
Cavalry in a tight formation is more adaptable to the battlefield and more effective than cavalry in a loose formation.
Yang Fan's ability to use wall-mounting tactics is related to the hardware differences between the slaves and his own cavalry, such as infantry weapons, cavalry weapons, artillery development, breastplates, etc.
If you only look at the cavalry charge tactics, this kind of "forming into a dense horizontal line - approaching the enemy at a jog side by side - accelerating after reaching the sprint distance - and hitting the enemy formation at maximum speed" is so powerful that it can overwhelm mountains and seas.
Overwhelm the enemy like a dark cloud.
Mang Gurtai and others rushed through, but his extremely angry servant cavalry regiment formed a wedge formation.
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Yang Fan's Chinese army coming towards him.
Yang Fan was riding on a majestic snow-white Don horse, holding a cast-iron flail. His new flail was made of open-hearth steel, with a huge exclamation mark-shaped mace-like structure on the top, and a thick iron chain and cast-iron handle below.
Lin Yueru was on his right, riding a blood-red Arabian horse. She was wearing a custom-made armor with a bulletproof vest underneath. She was carrying a green dragon halberd.
On the left is Tu Shanyue, riding a black Arabian horse with white hooves. This type of horse is called Dark Cloud Covered Snow in the legend.
Tu Shanyue was carrying a well-made long gun in her hand. The gun barrel was made of carbon fiber. She had coquettishly several times and used the long carbon fiber stick that Yang Fan used to practice shaking big poles to build his strength as her new gun barrel.
In front of Yang Fan was the devil's muscular man Mo Table, leading fifty of the strongest cavalry to form a horizontal formation as the vanguard.
Behind Yang Fan were three hundred military academy students and five hundred cavalrymen from the military camp.
Mang Gurtai saw that the second wave of Jizhen cavalry on the opposite side divided into three parts and accelerated to separate the distance.
There were only more than fifty people in the first batch, forming a horizontal formation, which looked very elite.
Led by a short but extremely stout man, the first group rushed forward.
Behind them, there was a man in particularly gorgeous armor. Behind that man was a huge tooth flag, held in the hands of the flag bearer.
Mang Gurtai's eyes widened. That person should be the commander of the Ming army, because he saw Ya Qi.
This was the opponent he had been fighting for all day, and Mang Gurtai's heart was filled with excitement.
He saw that these people were a cavalry group of about three hundred people.
Behind the general was the second wave of cavalry, the final cavalry group of about five hundred people.
He was caught off guard just now and was directly blindsided by the opponent's excellent horses and armor.
These heavy cavalry, majestic and huge war horses, plus human and horse armor, weapons and various equipment and supplies, have a weight of half a ton, and a speed of more than 10 meters per second, which will cause great harm to Zhenglan Banner's formation.
Unimaginable destruction.
At this time, although they were out of formation and were beaten to pieces, the Eight Banners were afraid of no one in fighting, and they still crushed the Ming army's cavalry in skirmishes.
Just before the cavalry from both sides collided, more than fifty elite cavalry collectively picked up their spears and lined up in a row. Holding them with their hands, they rushed towards the middle part of the Zhenglan Banner where there were the most people and horses.
These spears are more than six meters long and use relatively thin barrels that are particularly easy to break.
Because these people were not good at martial arts immediately, Yang Fan asked them to imitate European knights and charge forward with long, easily broken spears.
When the cavalry is hedging, the long gun cannot be held tightly because the relative speed is too high. If it is a hard gun shaft, a violent impact will cause the arm to be broken.
Therefore, there are two methods. One is that the hard gun rod must be held empty. The second is that if the gun rod must be held tightly, an easy-to-break gun rod must be used to absorb the kinetic energy.
If the gun barrel is a long gun with a white wax pole, it is another matter. The gun barrel is highly elastic and can produce very large gun spray, and the gun can even be bent at a large angle to draw the enemy.
Get off your horse.
That kind of gun doesn't stab hard, it just uses steady force and listening force, and then it stops at one point.
Those who can reach this level are Xiao Niangpi, not Yang Fan's soldiers.
Therefore, they use the violent sprint method to achieve quick results.
Fifty cavalrymen stood shoulder to shoulder, their lances leveled collectively.
Jian Nu collided with them instantly.
Seeing them attacking with spears, Jian Nu also immediately came out with warriors with spears to meet them. The spear cavalry from both sides quickly collided with each other.
Yang Fan's soldiers were armed with six-meter long spears, while Jian Nu's soldiers were armed with 4.5-meter standard spears. Naturally, the longer ones would stab the enemy first.
Just when the spear hit the enemy, Mo Zuo yelled, "Let go!"
More than fifty people all let go of their hands. Under the huge impact, the long gun clicked, broke directly, and the wooden pole shattered.
The spearhead hit the cloth armor of Jiannu Baibai's soldier, and penetrated through the chest without any hindrance. The cavalryman who was stabbed was thrown into the air by the huge impact, and fell backwards off his horse.
Before the spears in their hands could reach it, the grinding table fell down along with them.
More than 50 cavalrymen stabbed down the old Bai Baiya La soldiers, immediately retracted their formation, re-formed into a wedge formation, penetrated through, and rushed into the large group of cavalrymen under the Zhenglan Banner.
