The first thousand four hundred and sixty-three chapters send the meat to the mouth
From the beginning to the end, the cavalry of the Far Eastern Army's Steel Knife Battalion never fought head-on with Zhang Jincheng's thieves, or even engaged in close combat.
Of course, the thieves will not sit still and wait for death. They also have bows and arrows. Unfortunately, their bows and arrows are far less sharp and powerful than those of the Far Eastern Army. In addition, their archery skills are poorly trained. It is difficult to defeat the well-equipped and armored steel soldiers.
The sword battalion cavalry caused heavy casualties.
Not to mention that most of the arrows fired from the hedgehog formation of the thieves were left behind by the high-speed horses. Even if some of the cavalry of the Steel Knife Battalion were lucky enough to hit, they could not cause much damage, and even
It was difficult to break through the steel armor, let alone the horse speed, which immediately lost its strength.
Occasionally, officers and soldiers whose horses were injured would not stop and follow the group to the distance, temporarily leaving. There were spare horses there, and soon they would return to the group and join the battle on their horses.
Zhang Jin said that he has experienced hundreds of battles and has commanded many large and small wars in the past few years, but this was the first time he had seen this scene. Even if he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that fighting was okay.
Fighting like this, or in other words, fighting will lead to this situation.
With an expression like he had seen a ghost, Zhang Jin said that he really couldn't believe what he saw. Tens of thousands of cavalry were circling around his hedgehog formation, and each of his brothers at least let go.
With seven or eight arrows, he almost didn't see anyone on the other side fall.
But the screams on their side were coming one after another. A rough calculation showed that at least three to four thousand people had fallen.
This was a tactic that Zhang Jincheng had never seen or even heard of before. It was cruel and strange. It only took two back and forth, and countless gaps had appeared in the rock-solid hedgehog circle.
But even so, the Far East Army's Steel Knife Battalion still didn't want to break through the gap. They seemed to have not had enough of unilateral massacres.
Breaking away like the wind, turning back like the wind, going back and forth, continuously, this is the spin tactic, one of the many cavalry tactics of the Far Eastern Army.
After each round of maneuvering tactics, at least hundreds of minions were knocked down, and each round of shooting was like a hammer destroying the morale of the minions.
Zhang Jin said that if he had fought against the Turks, he would have found that this tactic was very similar to the tactics used by the Turkic cavalry against the Sui infantry.
In fact, this
The maneuvering tactic itself is one of the eleven cavalry tactics of the Far Eastern Army that was derived from the Turkic cavalry tactics.
"Everyone listen to my order, raise their shields, and raise their shields above their heads."
"There are also archers, all the archers aim at the horses and shoot!"
Zhang Jin said that he reacted quickly and his eyesight was very sharp, but this was the only seemingly effective method of coping that he knew.
If a large number of war horses fall to the ground, the Far Eastern Army's attack rhythm will be disrupted, and the minions will have the opportunity to fight back.
But unfortunately, whether they raise their shields above their heads to block the opponent's arrows, or the archers aim to shoot the opponent's horses, the effect is not very good.
Therefore, this is just Zhang Jincheng's wishful thinking. The arrows shot at the horses were thrown away by the Far Eastern Army with high-speed movement like the arrows shot at people. The arms of the minions holding the bows had begun to tremble, and the enemy soldiers who fell from their horses were still shaking.
Less than fifty.
"This is the combat power of the Poison King's army. It is indeed powerful. Moreover, this is a very ordinary army among the Poison King's subordinates." When thinking that he might be captured alive by the Poison King's men, Zhang Jin, who has always been fearless of heaven and earth,
His heart was filled with fear.
He slowly stretched his hand towards the horizontal knife at his waist, with a ferocious and crazy look on his face.
"Kill! I don't believe it. In the end, I didn't even have a chance to commit suicide." Zhang Jin said that he was ready to fight to the end and then bravely commit suicide.
Ever since he killed his son and wife who were about to starve to death with a knife, he has forgotten how to write the word "fear", and after he has eaten human flesh several times, he is no longer afraid of anyone or anything, so even if
After hearing that the famous Poison King had killed those murderous thieves with a thousand knives, he still had no fear, no fear, and still went his own way.
Sure enough, it attracted the Poison King's army.
He previously thought that he would not be afraid of anyone, including the Poison King, but after he fell into a dead situation at this moment, he realized that he still had some fear in his heart. Maybe it was because no one had ever let him fall into death like this before.
territory.
Zhang Jincheng's ability to survive to this day is not only due to his keen sense of danger, but also to his unique vision on the battlefield.
For example, at this time, he realized that he must personally lead the team to fight, and he must use the only three thousand cavalry under his command to entangle the enemy, and then attack again.
Order all the infantry to wait for the opportunity to attack, and take advantage of the fact that the number of people on his side is not less than that of the other side, so that the two sides will fall into a melee. Only in this way can he have a chance of survival, and if the arrangements for these two steps go smoothly, he may even lead
Some of the troops escaped.
Because, in the current situation, if the opponent is allowed to keep shooting, all his brothers will be shot to death sooner or later.
Even if his men and horses just showed enough courage to kill the enemy, if the number of people killed by passive beating reaches a certain level, his men and horses will be completely defeated.
At that time, his men and horses will immediately turn into sheep, and then be hunted down by the wolf-like Far Eastern Army, without any ability to fight back.
Zhang Jincheng personally led two thousand cavalry and rushed out of the formation resolutely. His two generals on the left and right each led a thousand cavalry to protect his left and right wings. The other infantry were left to the command of the big and small bosses.
Wait for the cavalry to create an opportunity, and then wait for the opportunity to rush up and engage in a melee.
The three groups of cavalry formed a "pin" shape and quickly pounced on the closest group of Far Eastern Army cavalry. However, this group of cavalry from the Far Eastern Army's Steel Knife Battalion did not engage with the rebel cavalry at all. Instead, they shot and killed them.
After nearly a hundred of them, they took advantage of their excellent horses and superb riding skills, and soared away like the wind.
Then they take advantage of the longer range of bows and arrows, while widening the distance between them, while constantly turning back to cast cold arrows.
This style of play didn't last long before Zhang Jin said he felt like he was going crazy.
Because it was the same as before, they were still only worthy of being beaten. The most precious cavalry that he spent a lot of money to build kept screaming and falling off their horses, but they didn't even kill anyone on the other side.
In this way of fighting, the thieves, whose horses and bows were far inferior to those of the Far Eastern Army, and whose riding and archery skills were not as good as those of the Far Eastern Army, would naturally suffer a great loss.
Obviously, Wei Daoer, who had been a bandit leader, knew very well the disadvantages of a bandit army born in the wilderness, and had already thought of various corresponding tactics in advance.
Even if there are powerful archers in the thief army, or thieves with excellent riding skills and better horses can shoot at the Far Eastern Army cavalry, it will only spatter a few sparks on the fine steel armor.
In this way, it seems that Zhang Jincheng led three thousand cavalry and took the initiative to get up and was shot by the Far Eastern Army.
