Sections 503, 504 Heavy Cavalry Against Artillery: Ran!(1/2)

The Semu cavalry who were besieging the Wu army had 17,000 left, which was equivalent to the number of the Tang army's cavalry. But the problem is that these tough men had already left the scene and fought with the angry and tenacious Wu army for more than an hour.

Their arms were almost out of strength, and the war horses were almost out of strength.

Seeing that the Wu army could not hold on, they only had to rest for another round and the third round would definitely break the formation, but the rebel cavalry came.

Are you angry?

At this time, the Mongolian cavalry was still two miles away, and the rebel cavalry had already rushed in front of him. It was too late to expect the Mongolian cavalry to intercept them, so they could only bite the bullet and withstand the first wave of the rebels' attack.

Why can't we avoid the limelight for the time being? As long as we avoid the first wave of rebel cavalry, the Mongolian cavalry will also rush over.

cannot.

Because the horse speed of the rebel cavalry was at its strongest time.

They were attacking the flanks of the Wu army. The horses were not only exhausted, but also not fast, and they didn't have time to accelerate. Not only could they not avoid them, but they were also more dangerous and might even be defeated by a wave of shocks.

The decisive battle of the cavalry cluster is very important to "momentum". The winner wins quickly, and the loser collapses quickly. Often, the winner can be decided in one round. Unlike the infantry, the troops can be deployed in a long time and can't be completed.

The rebels were obviously well aware of the situation on the battlefield, accelerated from several miles away from the east, rushed over in one breath, and plunged directly into the battlefield. This was obviously a tactic formulated in advance.

This completely violates the rule that after reinforcements arrive on the battlefield, they first understand the situation and then participate in the war.

"Smack it!"

"Welcome to the enemy-"

In the cavalry team, there were dense sounds of horses whipping like firecrackers and hysterical shouts. The generals roared and ordered their subordinates to adjust their direction and gathered to block the surging rebel cavalry.

At the same time, Wanzhedu's last ten thousand cavalry also moved.

He must save the Detective Ma Chijun!

"Woo--"

“Oh hoho—”

"Mordauga!"

Seven thousand Mongolian cavalry, with all their might, rushed to the east. Only three thousand heavy cavalry and a group of military slaves were left beside Wanzhedu.

This heavy cavalry is used again at critical moments. It is not effective when used to fight light cavalry in field battles at this time because it is too bulky.

However, Wan Zhedu's heart was still in his throat, because the seven thousand Mongolian cavalry ran a few feet away, and the rebel cavalry had already rushed into the Semu cavalry, and the two armies were about to contact.

When the Tang army cavalry was about to hit the Semu cavalry, they shouted together. The large piece of hand axes suddenly looked like black flying crows, and with the help of high-speed horsepower, they threw them towards the Semu cavalry.

This is a killer move of the Tang army cavalry and the flying axe immediately.

This kind of hand axe weighs only three pounds, and each knight is equipped with two handles. It throws it at close range before contacting the two armies, which is very lethal.

Puff! Puff!

"ah-"

"Ao—"

The cavalry in front of him screamed, and for a moment, many Yuan army and war horses were hit by flying axes and fell off their horses.

Immediately afterwards

boom-"

The cavalry of both sides collided with each other, and the slow speed and weakened horsepower were like a fragile rotten cloth, torn apart by an eagle's claw.

The physically energetic Jurchen Khitan cavalry relied on their horse speed to destroy the team of Seme cavalry. The fierce and well-trained Jurchen Khitan cavalry, waving maces, cavalry and other long-time soldiers, and harvesting the sore Semaka cavalry like chopping melons and vegetables.

The tired and exhausted cavalry were no match for the enemy. I don’t know how many people’s Tianling Caps were hit by the wolves of the Jurchen Khitan cavalry, and their brains were broken and their bones were broken.

You should know that the Jurchen Khitan cavalry is very good, and after a long period of hard training in Haidong, the individual combat power and fighting will have greatly improved, and even the protective equipment is not comparable to the Semu cavalry.

Even if the Mongolian cavalry is not only advantageous in cavalry and shooting, they are not the opponent of the Jurchen Khitan cavalry.

In the blink of an eye, the Semu cavalry was caught in large numbers, and in just one encounter, thousands of casualties were killed and injured!

The decisive battle between the cavalry cluster is really a critical moment, and victory or defeat is within a moment.

If Mongolian cavalry is better at riding and shooting, then Jurchen Khitan cavalry is better at horse fighting. Unlike Semu Mongolian cavalry who likes to use scimitars, Jurchen Khitan cavalry likes to use long soldiers, mostly maces, rifles, etc.

The tactics of the two are also very different. The tactics of the Mongolian Semu cavalry are Manguda and peeling, and they use bows and arrows to continuously attack and harass, and then rush to the formation when the enemy is out of support.

The Jurchen cavalry prefers direct hand-to-hand combat, or even dismounted and in-person combat. This makes the horse fighting power of the Jurchen Khitan cavalry stronger than the Semu cavalry.

At the same time, the Wu army finally seized the opportunity and abandoned the frontal traitor army. Tens of thousands of people shouted and rushed forward to actively attack the Semu cavalry that had lost their horse speed. The dense spears stabbed the Semu cavalry.

"Kill the Tartars!"

"kill!"

Revenge spears pierced into the bodies of the Semu cavalry and took them off the horse. In a blink of an eye, the battlefield became a cooperation between the Tang cavalry and the Wu army's spearmen and infantry cavalry.

Even the only two thousand infantry soldiers in the Wu army attacked.

In fact, from the cavalry of the two armies to the counterattack of the Wu army, it took only a few breaths, but in such a short time, the cavalry of the Semu were trapped in desperate situations and suffered a fatal blow.

In every blink of an eye, hundreds of semen cavalry died tragically under the mace and the spear of the Wu army.

The Wu army even rushed into the Semu cavalry and started a massacre of Yuan cavalry who had lost their horse speed. Many of the cavalry were stabbed to death by spearmen.

By the time the Tang cavalry opened the ranks of the Semu cavalry, the Semu cavalry had already suffered seven or eight thousand casualties under the joint attack of the Tang army and the Wu army, and were defeated!

Among them, at least five or six thousand people were killed or injured under the charge of the Tang cavalry.

The Tang army suffered only a hundred casualties.

It was said that it was too late, but in fact, all this was just a few breaths.

It was not until this time that seven thousand Mongolian cavalry came to the rescue and rushed to the Tang cavalry, whose horses were still fast.

The Mongolian cavalry was only 7,000, less than half of the Tang cavalry. Seeing that the Tang cavalry rushed over, how could they dare to fight head-on to fight against the horse? They had to adopt common tactics, prepare to detour separately, pull long distances, and use kite flying tactics.

However, the incident that caused the Mongolian cavalry to vomit blood happened, and the Tang cavalry also separated and caught the Mongolian cavalry.

The distance between the cavalry on both sides was very close, and the Mongolian cavalry had already fired arrows, but the Tang cavalry rushed up directly in the rain of arrows and ignored the Mongolian cavalry's rain of arrows.

For a time, many Tang army cavalry were killed and injured, but what they got was successfully biting the Mongolian cavalry, and the cavalry on both sides collided fiercely again.

The moment before the battle was about to take place, the second flying axe of the Tang cavalry was also thrown hard at the Mongolian cavalry, and the Mongolian cavalry were immediately dismissed.

As a result, although the Mongolian cavalry first shot a round of arrows and shot hundreds of Tang soldiers to death, they suffered even greater casualties under the Tang army's "axe flying axe".

What's even more terrible is that the Mongolian cavalry was bitten by the Tang cavalry and could not distance themselves. The best cavalry and shooting tactics were no longer used.

The two cavalrymen interlaced and fought again into a horse battle.

It means that the Tang army took hundreds of casualties and took advantage of the opportunity of being too close to the horse's battle.

Of course, this requires a good grasp of the terrain and situation of the battlefield. What Wanzhe didn't know was that just when the war started, the battlefield intelligence and maps were given to the Tang army from Donglai by Chen Yu.

The Tang army had actually long been hiding in Langkang Mountain (west of Yugan County) on the south bank of Poyang Lake. The Langkang Valley just happened to have a large army. Moreover, it was flat between the two horses and Hongdu City, less than twenty miles away from Hongdu City. Even the infantry army could raid in half an hour.

In addition, the Yuan army's whistle-scouts were intercepted by the Tang cavalry team that had been ambushed in advance, resulting in the Yuan army not knowing that the Tang army was hiding near Hongdu.

After receiving the intelligence map, Li Luo immediately made arrangements and formulated a strategy. Then the cavalry went first, attacking from east to west, and the brigade followed up.

There is only one core who unexpectedly uses the Wu army to gain instant military strength advantage in the local battlefield and win by hand.

Zhou Xiang's plan was indeed unexpected. Not only did he defeat the Red Army in one fell swoop, but he also successfully bit the Mongolian cavalry.

So the Mongolian cavalry became sad.

The number of cavalry in the Tang army was more than twice that of Mongolian cavalry, and the single-handed and horse fighting technique was even stronger. The usually arrogant Mongolian cavalry suddenly fell into a disadvantage.

The warriors' scimitars really cannot beat the maces and spears of the Jurchen Khitan soldiers, and even the weapons are at a disadvantage.

They didn't know that the Tang cavalry had to train horse battles almost every day, wielding maces and rifles, and honing hand-to-hand combat.

More than 20,000 cavalrymen fought each other in a melee, and the horse speed of both sides dropped. The sound of Mongolian scimitars and maces fighting each other sounded, extremely harsh. Accompanied by the screams and shouts of the knights and the neighing of the war horses, it was extremely tragic.

The Tang and Meng cavalry battle was in full swing, and the remnants of the Discovery Red Army in the rear were also penetrated by the Wu army. The Wu army took advantage of the disastrous defeat of the Discovery Red Army and lost its power again and fought a hand-to-hand battle with the Discovery Red Army.

Where is the Yuan army strong? Cavalry.

But once the cavalry loses their horse speed and is rushed into by the infantry, that is another matter.

Especially the Tou Tuo Army, which had more than 10,000 people left, was very fierce. They roared and pulled the Red Army off the horse and killed it, or used their spears to carry the Red Army into the air.

Even the Red Army General Sagtursun was stabbed to death by the Wu army general Zhang Hui.

After the Red Army of the Discovery was killed by the Tang cavalry, there were only nine thousand people left, surrounded by more than 10,000 Tou Tuo Army, and they were completely at a disadvantage. When it comes to hand-to-hand combat, they may not be stronger than the Tou Tuo Army. In addition, the Tou Tuo Army was full of grief and indignation and fighting spirit, and the seductive eye-catching soldiers who had previously promoted martial arts and power were slowly falling into the situation of being massacred.

So what about the traitor army?

Although there were still 40,000 traitors, their fighting spirit was not strong. When they saw the Tang army, they were even more scared and blocked by more than 10,000 Wu troops. They were unable to rescue the Chi-jun, the Detective Ma who had suffered heavy casualties.

The Mongolian cavalry was bitten by Tang cavalry, which was far more than itself, and they were even more trapped in a situation of being slaughtered one-sidedly, and they were less like fighting.

Many of the Jurchen Khitan cavalry jumped off their war horses, and two fought against one, killing the Mongolian cavalry like chopping melons and vegetables.

Every moment, hundreds of Mongolian cavalry were killed in battle.

However, the ferocity of the Mongolian cavalry is also vividly reflected. Even if there are few enemies, they are still extremely fierce and have high hand-to-hand combat skills, causing many casualties to the Tang cavalry.

Wan Zhedu, who was more than two miles away, was so angry that his eyes were filled with tears!
