Although the Three Thousand Lamas wore chain armor, this minimal protective equipment was obviously stronger than the Khalkha Mongols who only had leather armor.
But it is obvious that there is a huge difference in their numbers. No matter what, three thousand people cannot defeat ten thousand people.
Arrows from the Khalkhas flew up randomly and then fell into the array of Lama soldiers. After all, the mail armor had limited protection. Many people fell to the ground wailing. There were many arrow shafts on the ground like weeds.
After the random arrows, soldiers from both sides gathered together and charged at each other. Dozens of people were in a group, holding shields and long weapons and fighting together.
The lamas were equipped with a large number of simple knives and hooked sickles and held round steel shields. This steel shield was similar to the large round copper shield of the Spartan warriors in Athens.
While protecting his own people, he stabbed and hacked outwards with all his strength.
Wang Hao looked at these monotonous combat scenes with a telescope.
There aren't many exciting things to see in a cold-weapon swarm battle. If you come in with swords and kill us, we will kill you with swords. If you come in with guns and stab you, we will stab you back with guns indiscriminately.
Anyway, there is no room for moving around in the capital formation.
It depends on who can see accurately, be decisive, bold, and have good physical strength. If you cut hard and if you cut accurately, you can destroy the enemy and save yourself. When the enemy's weapons attack, use the weapons in your hands to block them.
If it is not blocked, then the performance of the armor can only be tested.
At this moment, there are stabbing weapons everywhere, and a pair of eyes is not enough to see them. If you don't see them, you will just shoot them.
The Khalkha people didn't take them seriously considering their small number.
But they have a large number of hook and sickle guns. Their hook and sickle guns are different from the ordinary ones of the Ming Dynasty. The barrel of the gun is flat, like an ax handle, and has a sense of direction. You can use the hook and sickle gun sideways and peck the hook downwards.
This method of use directly went over their shields and used the hook to gouge their heads.
However, their spears could only move forward to assassinate, and were blocked by shields.
Most of them did not have helmets, and the Mongolians lacked iron. Not to mention high-tech things like shoulder armors. Amidst the bursts of screams, their heads and shoulders were hooked by the hooks of sickles and guns, like pickaxes.
With ordinary pecks, blood flowers appeared one after another.
As soon as these lamas succeeded in striking, they immediately pulled back and released their shoulders.
In such a cold weather, it is still a plateau without oxygen. Once injured, it is very easy to lose body temperature. If you bleed a lot, you will die faster.
Seeing that the people in front could no longer carry the troops, Commander Ha'erliu Wentai shouted loudly: "Send the horse pole up, catch their hooks, and pull them out of the queue."
Centurion Hala Lin Chen immediately woke up and summoned a large number of people holding horse poles to throw them out. They one after another hooked the hooks of the hooks and sickles, and then several people dragged them backwards together, and all of a sudden the people holding the hooks and sickles were thrown out.
The man was dragged out, and then a burst of arrows were shot at him.
These people were hit by arrows one after another and fell to the ground. The chain armor's ability to protect against arrows at close range was average.
It did not block the Mongolian bow that used heavy arrows and was fired at close range.
Following the failure of the hook-and-scythe gun, a large number of Khalkhas rushed forward with long-handled axes. Using heavy axes, they slashed at the steel shields, which were a little over five millimeters thick.
Captain Paulenold led 500 warriors armed with big axes, tore apart the battle line of the lamas and rushed in. Immediately, 3,000 scimitar-wielders also rushed into the array and completely scattered the lamas from the left wing.
battle line.
With a bang, the left wing collapsed. The lamas turned around and ran back.
Wang Hao didn't expect them to collapse so quickly. He sighed and ordered the six battalion leaders in front to retreat immediately and disperse to break out.
The camp leaders were in front, the lamas had collapsed and they were left in front.
However, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry division is not comparable to that of these lamas. They are far better than these Khalkhas in terms of physical training and equipment. It's just that they pretended to be defeated today and did not use their full strength. They have always hidden their strength.
.
All in all! Three green flares were launched into the sky, and these people immediately broke out in different directions.
They wore stab-proof clothing and held aluminum alloy swallowtail signs. They had both long weapons and steel crossbows with charging handles. After receiving the order to retreat, they immediately hit hundreds of steel crossbows, facing the Khalkha people.
Shoot suddenly.
The dense crossbow arrows immediately shot down a large number of them, and then the spearmen rushed out quickly and directly pierced their array. Then they pierced their array without hesitation and killed them outwards.
At this time, the training level of the cavalry division can be seen.
Once they formed a team group, they immediately broke up the chaotic Khalkha people. They also ran very fast. In almost a short period of time, the six battalion leaders were able to throw away the pursuers.
Running relies on endurance, not explosive power.
People who don’t have regular running training can’t stand it for a long time. Their lungs will be burning and painful. And this is still a plateau. After Wang Hao came, he didn’t give up the five-kilometer training every day because of the lack of oxygen here.
The officers and soldiers of the Cavalry Division have adapted to the high-altitude area. The lack of physical strength just now was deliberately pretended.
The Khalkhas immediately gave chase. After running for thirty miles, they gave up and were pulled away collectively.
This continuous running immediately brought the troops back to their original shape.
Whether it's a mule or a horse, it's just that it can't run. It's useless to say anything.
Although the officers and soldiers of the cavalry division in front ran and retreated, they still maintained the formation of four columns. They were not only running, but also shouting slogans.
When shouting one, two, one, it is the speed at which the troops continue to run and march. Officers can judge the physical consumption of the troops by whether they can shout slogans or even sing while running. If they cannot shout slogans, it means that the speed must be reduced.
.
When a person is running, the amount of oxygen required by the human body increases as the running speed increases. In order to change this situation, it is necessary to speed up the breathing frequency and increase the breathing depth.
However, there is a certain limit to the acceleration of respiratory rate. Generally, the most effective range is 35 to 40 times per minute.
For example, if it reaches up to 60 times per minute, an average of one exhalation and inhalation is required per second. This will inevitably make breathing shallower, reduce ventilation, affect the inhalation of oxygen and the discharge of carbon dioxide, and increase the concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood.
, the oxygen concentration decreases.
Shouting the number is actually to judge the breathing situation.
The ventilation volume during heavy exercise can reach 100 liters per minute (about 20 times that at rest). Yang Fan's soldiers all have scientific drills. They rely entirely on skill and science to adjust their breathing.
Quitu Khan led his men and horses in hot pursuit, but unfortunately he not only failed to catch up, but also got further and further away. He was so angry that he broke his riding whip.
