Zhang Xiu's Fenglei Cavalry, who shined last time, did not serve as the backbone of Liu Qi's army, but was revived. It was not that Liu Qi did not use it, but rather as a deterrent force, beside the entire army ten miles away.
Liu Qi did not use this force first, which gave Cao Cao great concern, allowing him to have constraints on tactical command and could not attack with all his strength.
After the deadlock, Zhang Xiu's Fenglei Cavalry began to play his role. During the fierce battle, the weaknesses of both sides will be infinitely amplified, and then they will be attacked by the other party. It depends on whoever breaks through the other party's weakness first, and whoever obtains the battle will be achieved.
Advantages on.
One thing to say is whether Liu Qi's Xuanxiang Formation can withstand the impact of Cao Cao's 100,000 troops, can withstand and consume part of Cao Cao's strength. This battle can be said to be a winner; if it cannot, Liu Qi's army was defeated by Cao Cao's army
After breaking several formations in a row, Liu Qi's army was defeated, so there was no suspense in this battle. Zhang Xiu's Fenglei Cavalry could only be used as a rear-end.
The army of both sides slowly approached, only a few miles away from the enemy. They stopped and started to set up the formation. Archers arranged around them to prevent the enemy from suddenly rushing to the formation. The army at this time was the most vulnerable, otherwise the ancients
Yun Bandu attack means that before the enemy has set up a formation, it can effectively defend and attack before attacking, and often has unexpected results. However, Cao Cao's skill is not to give Liu Qi or Pang Tong the same way.
of course, Liu Qi would not give Cao cao such an opportunity either.
When the formation was set, the attack or defense began. The Cao army was placing the main attack cone formation, and the sharp troops were all on the front, so that the front army could defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
Cao Chun's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, as the most powerful force of the Cao army, is also the "arrow tip" of the "arrow" of the Cao army. He has no choice but to take on the task of rushing to the formation. Behind are the six leaders of Pang De and Liang Xing.
Thousands of Western Liang Iron Cavalry. Nine thousand cavalrymen were in the shape of "哥" and rushed towards Liu Qi's army like an arrow.
The cavalry charge speed has basically been increased. Next, it depends on the strong physique of the horse, the coordination of the cavalry, the weapons and horses of the cavalry, the thickness of the armor of the horse, the strength of the cavalry, etc. The cavalry charge is not very dense, and often
Each cavalry is separated by three to five meters so that after someone falls, it will not affect the charge of the people behind.
As the vanguard of this battle, Cao Chun was very excited, not for the purpose of making merit after winning, but for the revenge, for the loss of the seven thousand tiger and leopard soldiers, for the dignity of the general he lost, and for the tiger and leopard cavalry.
Fight for the right reputation.
The distance of several miles happened to be the fastest speed of the cavalry charge, and rushed towards Liu Qi's former army like lightning. The cavalry tactics in the late Han Dynasty were mainly tactics invented by Huo Qubing's period. Huo Qubing, the general of the cavalry of the Han Dynasty, figured out a kind of cavalry.
New tactics, car suspension. Car suspension is actually the power enhanced version of assault tactics, but it is much more domineering than assault. It does not rush up like assault. It pays more attention to the spacing between each cavalry. Cooperation is equivalent to a cavalry version.
Cao Chun learned the superficiality of General Huo Qubing's cavalry tactics, but it was also amazing. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Chun's cavalry tactics were among the top ones.
In fact, Huo Qubing's cavalry tactics are actually summarized based on the overlord Xiang Yu of the Western Chu Dynasty. Xiang Yu, the leader of the rebel army in the late Qin Dynasty and the Chu-Han era, was the first person in history to propose to use the high-speed impact force of the cavalry to fight a blitzkrieg battle, without stirrups
In the era of Xiang Yu thought of the mainstream assault tactics of cavalry tactics in later generations, which was quite advanced in military history. Use cavalry assault to disrupt the enemy's formation, and the infantry followed the pace of the cavalry to annihilate the enemy's scattered and single.
The idea of collaborative combat between infantry and cavalry was unprecedented at that time.
It was precisely because Xiang Yu's large-scale use of cavalry in the war with Liu Bang that Liu Bang realized the power of the cavalry and made up his mind to form a cavalry unit, although Guan Ying, the commander of the first cavalry unit, was
He appointed Li Bi, the surrendered general of Qin, and Luo Jia, as the captain, to train cavalry, but he was still tactical to imitate Xiang Yu's cavalry tactics. This also indirectly laid the foundation for the later Han Empire to have a powerful cavalry unit.
Following closely behind were the 6,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry led by Pang De and Liang Xing. The longest cross-section of the entire vanguard was one mile and half mile in length. The front was only a few dozen steps to ensure the cavalry's
The impact force is like a nail, destroying the enemy's military formation. The cavalry behind takes the opportunity to attack in, open the gap, and instantly breaking the enemy's military formation.
Cao Chun stared at the front with cold eyes, and there was no trace of fear on his grim face. Three thousand cavalrymen, several miles away, arrived in an instant, Cao Chun shouted: "Cover the urethra!"
Three thousand Cao soldiers in green clothes and green armor neatly took out cloth strips to cover the horse's eyes. The horse was born to be afraid of sharp weapons, and the horse was not stupid, so he rushed towards the sharp spear in a daze.
It is necessary to cover the horse's eyes. Due to habituality, the horse will not stop and continue to attack the enemy's army formation at its original speed.
Liu Qi's army was heading towards Cao Cao's army, and Cao Chun came up to attack Liu Qi's most powerful defense front. I don't know if he was confident in his Tiger and Leopard Cavalry's strength or looked down on Liu Qi's infantry strength. No wonder Cao
Purely followed Cao Cao to fight south and north, and never saw any powerful soldiers.
The eight hundred trap camps, known as "the ambition to trap the formation, have no life" in the world; Lu Bu's "Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry" and Zhang He's "Horse-Supremacre" were all defeated by Cao's "Qingzhou Army".
No one can be the fierce battles selected from the "Qingzhou Soldiers" - the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Well, except for Zhang Xiu's original Xiliang Army.
Cao Chun didn't take Liu Qi's Jingzhou infantry seriously. Jingzhou Jiangdong was just a little stronger, and the rest were not worth mentioning. With his contempt for Liu Qi's Jingzhou infantry, Cao Chun led three thousand tigers and leopard cavalry.
Rushing towards the enemy formation.
It's so sharp. Especially the crossbow soldiers in Jingzhou are the best in the world, but Cao Cao has not yet fully appreciated its power. Although the reason for Xu Chu's vanguard's destruction is that it is a battle to defend the city and it may not be used on flat ground.
So Cao didn't care at all. What role could the Zhuge crossbow, which was several dozen kilograms, play in the battle formation. The battle still relies on the impact of cavalry and infantry.
The Cao Cao military advisors had no vision in the late Han Dynasty. Whether it was the use of infantry battle formations or the mix of infantry and cavalry, they were all before other commanders and generals. However, Liu Qi was a special example. Many good crossbows were originally
The weapon that only appeared in the Song Dynasty was made out by Liu Qi, and it would be a fatal blow to Cao Cao.
