The charge formation arranged by Leonid is a cavalry attack formation commonly used by the Cossacks. The vanguard in front is like an awl, rushing into the enemy's formation as quickly as possible, and then the cavalry behind follows closely, like killing a sheep.
Tear the meat apart, make the wound wider, and finally slowly crush the entire sheep body, including the meat and bones. [] [This is an attack method that completely relies on charging speed and courage. From the century to the present, the Cossacks have always
They continued to use this offensive model and never improved it because it was very effective, simple and fast.
At this time, Zuo Mingnan was standing on the high slope of the Xibo people, holding the long knife he captured from the Qing army leader, staring closely ahead. The speed of the Rakshasa cavalry charging in the distance
Getting faster and closer, everyone's breathing stopped involuntarily, and everyone was a little nervous. This was the first time that Guan Ning's army fought head-on with a large-scale cavalry, whether it was in Tuerling or other places.
In the subsequent Shouyi City and Dingyuan City, the cavalry encountered by Guan Ning's army could not be compared with the current attack in terms of numbers and fighting methods.
Zuo Mingnan's heart was beating violently. Although he didn't know much about the art of war, as a veteran in the army, he had fought with the cavalry of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia. He knew the power of cavalry charges, so he did not dare to take it lightly. Now he
Zuo Mingnan only had two brigades of infantry and one Mongolian cavalry. The strength of the troops was completely overwhelming, but the combat effectiveness could never be measured by the number of people. Zuo Mingnan calmed down and arranged the infantry of the two brigades according to the terrain.
Okay, let's rely on this high slope to maximize our own advantages and try to repel the Rakshasa attack. The Mongolian team is used as a mobile force. In command, although Zuo Mingnan is the captain of the regiment, he is also the leader.
Zuo Mingnan was the one who commanded this Mongolian team, so in the face of this all-out attack by the Rakshasa cavalry, Zuo Mingnan could not guarantee whether the Mongols would be able to retreat.
Sver led two hundred tribesmen as the vanguard of this attack. When they rushed to the river and were still a few hundred meters away from the Qing team, they found that the Mongols at the front of the Qing defense line suddenly divided into two teams and headed in the other direction.
They ran away, as if they were not prepared to resist with death. [After the Mongols left, the front of the Qing infantry array was suddenly empty. Except for the spears of the Qing soldiers, there was no threat to Sver.
"Come on, rush on!"
Great, these Mongols came to know that they are not our opponents, and they still know that it is not worth dying in vain. The retreat of the Mongols made Sver couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and became a little excited. Without the protection of the Mongolian cavalry, these
What are the natives to be afraid of? He shouted, waved his saber and leaned forward. The Cossacks behind him became excited and rushed on horseback, shouting and shouting.
Leonid also saw the change in clearing the troops at the front. After discovering that the Mongols had escaped, he immediately ordered four hundred Cossacks to quickly follow Sver's forward and rush towards the Qing people, never giving them time to breathe or react.
"Kill all these Qing people and use their heads to exchange wealth with the Russians! Folks, ah!"
"Uh-huh!"
Before Leonid's screams had dissipated, a scream suddenly sounded in front of him, accompanied by the screams of horses.
What's going on? There are still hundreds of meters away from the Qing people, so why are there dead and injured? Leonid's sight was blocked by more than a dozen tribesmen, and he couldn't know what was happening in front of him for a while. When he rode his horse to the front,
He had just reached the clansmen who were rushing at the front, but there were about twenty or so people who suddenly slowed down and hurriedly controlled the horses. In his ears, he could still hear Sver's yelling and cursing.
"These Qing people are cunning and know how to set traps, but that's the best you can do."
Although Leonid didn't know exactly what was going on in front of him, he could guess from Sver's shouts and curses that it was not just the Qing people who had set some traps in front of the array. But Leonid didn't think that the Qing people were just setting traps in front of the array.
How many traps can people dig out? Perhaps this is the only resistance they can do.
The Cossack cavalry who were trapped in the horse pit fell off their horses one after another. The injured horses blocked the latecomers, and the scene suddenly became chaotic. The uncontrolled soldiers were immediately shot off their horses by the archers of the Guan Ning Army under the centralized command.
, unfortunately, he was trampled under his horse by the cavalry behind him who could not dodge.
To Leonid, these casualties were nothing. He was deeply moved by the deaths of his men in battle. Sver, who was in front of him, did not show any distress for the casualties of these tribesmen. People will die in wars. In terms of the Qing Dynasty,
No matter how cowardly people are, they will always bring some casualties to their own side. This is inevitable and there is no need to make a fuss. He shouted to the people behind to quickly bypass these fallen horses and rush towards the Qing defense line with all their strength.
past.
Under the command of Sver, the Cossacks at the back bypassed the injured horses and tribesmen and continued to charge towards the Qing team. However, they encountered some trouble again this time. The Qing people did not know when they had buried several people on the ground.
Ten sharp wooden stakes, a dozen Cossacks were unable to dodge, and the horses' hooves stepped on them. This time, Guan Ning's army did not need to shoot them anymore, they fell to the ground directly after the fallen horses.
Because of these two traps, the Cossack cavalry slowed down. As the number of fallen horses and cavalry increased, the formation began to become chaotic. At this time, Leonid noticed again that the Qing people in front were shooting several waves of arrows.
After that, start to move backwards.
"Stupid Qing pigs, is this all you have?"
Although the casualties among the more than 40 tribesmen were not many, it still made Sver angry. Seeing that the Qing people were retreating, he was overjoyed. If these Qing people stayed still, those scary spears would still make people a little hairy.
But when they retreated, their buttocks were completely exposed, just like girls who no longer had any clothes, and all that was left was wanton humiliation.
"Chase them, don't let any of them escape!"
After hearing Sver's cry, more than a dozen Cossacks immediately rushed straight towards the Qing people who were retreating. However, their horses only ran more than ten meters when they suddenly fell heavily to the ground one after another and fell to the ground.
The heavy blow made their eyes dazzled, their heads were spinning, and they were so dizzy that they didn't know what was happening.
"Damn it, it's a tripping rope!"
What Sverqing knocked down was behind a few long ropes buried in the grass. He was so angry that he yelled: "You cunning stupid pigs, can you do this?!" Suddenly, he heard someone shouting in his ear: "Sweerqing"
,careful!"
Hearing the sound, Sver was startled and subconsciously turned his head. He saw a sharp arrow shot close to his ear and hit a tribesman behind him, right between his eyebrows. Sver's face turned pale with fright.
When he turned around, he saw that the Mongolians who had just escaped appeared again from behind the Qing people, and their horses had obviously reached their fastest speed, and they were shouting and killing them. And the arrow that was shot at him was just right.
The first of these Mongolians was a Mongolian man with scars on his face and an extremely ugly grin. When the Mongolian man saw that Sver had not been shot to death, he screamed strangely, threw his bow to the ground, and pointed the Mongolian knife at Sver.
Rushed over.
"Mongols, they are Mongols!"
At the panicked shouts of the Cossacks, Agudamu led his men into the Cossack cavalry like an arrow. At this time, the Cossack cavalry was in a mess, and three traps effectively delayed their charge.
The footsteps of the Mongolian team also effectively caused trouble for them. When the Mongolian team rushed in front of them, the Cossack forward led by Sver was in a chaotic situation, and many people's horses stayed in place. This made the Mongolian team without any obstruction
It was like entering a human realm. Under the high-speed impact, dozens of Cossacks fell to the ground and were either hacked to death or trampled to death.
"Surround them!"
Leonid did not expect that the Mongols would show up at this time. Seeing that Sver and the others were in trouble, he quickly ordered other teams to move in immediately and surround these bold Mongolians.
