Chapter 549
'Tear...'
It was a small sound. In this chaotic environment on the battlefield, even if you listen carefully, you may not be able to hear this sound.
But as the creator of the movement, Maia still clearly felt the force of the impact.
The Hun cavalryman who had a face-to-face confrontation with him before suddenly showed an extremely painful expression on his face.
Subconsciously, he wanted to reach out to cover the wound on his waist, but then his whole body flew backwards due to the huge impact and fell off his horse.
During the last battle, the Han army did not have many restrictions on the attack of cavalry lances. They basically just stabbed wherever they could.
But now this way of looking at fate has changed.
When using a cavalry rifle, the priority to attack is one of the six parts: the limbs and both sides of the waist, especially the two parts on the sides of the waist.
The previous movement was caused by the tip of the cavalry rifle piercing the right side of the waist, and the huge impact of the two horses charging head-on, forcing the tip of the spear to tear the opponent's entire waist.
This wound is not immediately fatal, but it is still a fatal wound.
The torn wound was about ten centimeters long, and there was a huge bloody hole on the entire waist. The blood instantly stained the entire lower body red.
The advantage of this is that the cavalry rifle can be used twice more.
Fighters on the battlefield always disappear in the blink of an eye, and the previous approach of taking things easy often happens after the first attack because the stabbed part is too close to the middle and cannot be withdrawn quickly. Sometimes it is forced to withdraw or it is a human reaction.
If you can't keep up, you will hurt your own people, so you have to give up the cavalry rifle.
But by attacking the side parts this way, the cavalry rifle can survive for a while.
After all, on the battlefield, weapons are one inch longer and one inch stronger, even if they are cavalry, it is the same.
The distance is enough to operate, as long as you are not holding a seven-meter-long spear.
The total length of the cavalry gun is only three meters, making it a very suitable weapon for both infantry and horse battles.
Of course, in terms of flexibility, the shorter the cavalry weapon, the better the effect.
Because more reactions and actions need to be made in the shortest time, it is still somewhat difficult for a three-meter-long weapon such as a cavalry rifle to face such a group charge.
Different weapons have different uses in different places.
Maia's first attack hit a Hun cavalryman on the right side of his waist.
After the two sides staggered, Maia did not adjust the cavalry rifle much, but only slightly changed the direction of the gun head.
Then he stabbed at the second Huns cavalry.
The whole person does not need to make any other special movements. He only needs to hold the weapon steadily and rely on the impact of the war horse.
This is when the advantage of weapon length comes into play.
Often when the Han army attacked the Huns, they had not yet entered the attack range.
At this time, you can only hit the opponent by throwing the weapon in your hand.
But the problem is that throwing it is never as powerful as holding it in your hand, and the opponent is protected by armor.
Therefore, when throwing a weapon, unless it is guaranteed to hit the opponent's face or neck directly, you will have to wait for death.
The worst thing is that you can't even support yourself in death.
After injuring the second Hun cavalry, the space left for Maia was getting smaller and smaller, and he no longer had as much time to adjust as before.
Even before you make contact with the second enemy, you have to think about what to do next.
Then wait until the contact is made and adjust the position directly without making any mistakes.
It may not be a problem for precision instruments, but for people, this is not easy to do.
And even if it could be done, no one would be willing to do it.
It's really too risky and not cost-effective at all.
After the second man, Ren Nian, was wounded in exactly the same way, Maia did not choose to continue the conventional offensive with cavalry rifles.
Instead, he directly raised the cavalry gun high, pointed the gun head directly at the chest of the next person, and with the help of the power of the war horse, he fiercely pierced the gun head into the chest of the other person.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, after feeling the resistance from the gun body in his hand, Maia let go of the gun body.
Then he pulled out the cavalry sword directly from his waist. The scabbard was on the left side of his body. After pulling it out, he slashed diagonally to the right side.
The Hun cavalry, which had already prepared for the offensive, had to temporarily change its strategy in the face of Maya's offensive, switching from offense to defense.
'boom……'
After a loud noise, the weapons of both sides collided violently, making a loud sound.
The opponent resisted the blow forcefully, and Maia did not cause any damage to the opponent.
At the same time, since the war horses kept running forward, the two sides were actually face to face and had only one chance to fight.
No matter whether he disrupted the opponent's offensive or not, as long as the attack went out, the mission was completed for Maia.
The cavalryman following Maia raised his cavalry rifle and pierced the spearhead directly into the opponent's body.
At this time, the opponent was not even ready for the next attack. Basically, as soon as he raised the scimitar in his hand, the opponent's spear point reached his chest, and there was no chance to react.
Cavalry combat also requires coordination.
Although killing an enemy with one hit is cool and cool, you don't have the opportunity to do it every time.
Why was the Han army better than the Huns?
The reason is here.
Different from the Qin army, although the Han army also calculated military merit based on heads, the specific algorithm was different.
The Qin army counts soldiers as heads, officers as teams, plus a battle loss ratio.
Although it is fair, it is also very unfair on the battlefield.
The Han army adopted a calculation based on the number of people in the team.
Although individuals will be counted in the end of the head count, there are strict divisions before calculation.
For example, if there are 4,000 people participating in this battle, then the battle merit will be divided among the 4,000 people.
The specific division is that when charging, the first five rows will take half of the heads, and the number of people behind will be divided into two. Those standing in the front will get 30%, and the remaining people will get 20%.
As for what should be done if the person with more heads actually gets less points?
Of course, he was promoted, and the Han army performed this well.
It is precisely based on this system that the Central Plains Dynasty has taken a step further in terms of teamwork, which was already at an advantage.
Therefore, according to the current tactics of the Han cavalry, the task of the front row is to kill you with one blow if there is an opportunity.
Disrupt your offense before you have a chance, disrupt your rhythm, and let the people behind you take the opportunity to attack you.
If the latter doesn't work, just leave it to the latter. A person's energy is limited. No matter how elite you are, you can't resist dozens of times in a row. There will always be a mistake.
