On the battlefield, the sound of killing was loud.
The most eye-catching thing is obviously the head-on confrontation between armor and cavalry.
"Kill!" Cheng Feng waved the mace in his hand and struck wildly.
"Kill!" The Han armored cavalry braved the onslaught from the opposite side and moved forward. There were constant pits on the armor, but everyone in the heavy armor did not give up waving their weapons and urging the horses.
"Kill!" The heavy armored soldiers of the Han Army and the Modao Team collided with the Northern Zhou Armored Cavalry who passed by the Han Army's Armored Cavalry from both sides. The mountain axes in the hands of the heavy armored soldiers were basically replaced with heavier blunt instruments, such as hammers.
.
The Han army's armored cavalry adopted a concentrated attack, while the Northern Zhou army's armored cavalry naturally attacked in a dispersed manner. Some of them were left to entangle the Han army's armored cavalry, while the rest spread out from both sides in order to break into the Han army's infantry at the rear.
in queue.
After all, Northern Zhou has more armored cavalry and has the capital.
However, as long as the heavy armored soldiers and Modao team are still there, they will naturally not be allowed to succeed.
The long-handled hammers in the hands of the heavy armored soldiers were swung up and then smashed down. The target was not the person, but the head of the war horse!
Blood spurts and war horses neigh!
But the strong inertia was there, and many heavy armored soldiers were knocked to the ground by the armored knights.
This is almost a life-for-life style of play, but the number of heavy armored soldiers is far greater than the number of armored cavalry. When exchanging lives for lives, heavy armored soldiers are not at a disadvantage, and there are many strangers behind them.
The sword team provides cover and can even find opportunities to step forward to hit the target at any time. In contrast, a single armored cavalry obviously cannot provide any coordination.
Although there were more armored cavalry, the casualties of armored cavalry increased faster.
This style of play was also very brutal for the Han army, but it was effective!
The Northern Zhou Dynasty was obviously aware of the same problem. The Qingqi immediately threw away the surveillance of the Han army's Qingqi and moved closer to the central battlefield. However, Li Ping had already expected that the other party would do this. The musketeers who came out before were not allowed to run so far.
Running in vain.
"Change formation, horizontal formation!" Following the orders from the captains and battle leaders leading the team, the formation of musketeers was like the sledgehammers wielded by heavy armored soldiers. From the original swing to the current swing,
Next, the queue quickly changes from a vertical array to a horizontal array.
The three teams formed a horizontal formation in an orderly manner.
I am afraid that only the Imperial Guards can truly accomplish such a fast running change of formation. Among the rest of the army, such a change of formation may cause greater chaos, and the gain outweighs the loss.
The rapid expansion of the Han army in recent years has also led to the emergence of many inexperienced recruits in the army. Even the musketeers, which are said to be all the best of the best, will have some soldiers who have not actually been on the battlefield a few times. These
Soldiers are actually considered veterans in various armies, but they don't have much real combat experience. Many of them even go to the battlefield in a hurry without receiving complete military training.
Although this is an era of "less than the superiors, more than the inferiors", no matter how the Han army lacks training or combat experience, as long as it can outperform the temporarily assembled Northern Zhou army, it is enough. After all, as the war develops
, the Han army's morale, numbers, equipment, etc. were all superior to those of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
But this also made the Han army more cautious when implementing some tactics. It would be a joke if they did not succeed.
Therefore, only the real elites like the Guards had the courage and ability to accomplish this operation of changing the vertical formation into a horizontal formation.
"Fire!" When the Han army's musketeers were in position, the captains leading the team waved their swords forward at the same time.
Smoke was flying, and the cavalry approaching rapidly in front fell off their horses.
Three rows of horizontal formations were fought round after round without any pause.
And Hou Mi also led the Han army's light cavalry to cover up from both sides. He also had fire blunderbuss in hand, but the range of the short blunderbuss was not that far, so the Han army's cavalry was still waiting to shorten the distance with the enemy in order to use it as much as possible.
The short gun has the advantage of high burst at close range.
The Qingqi of the Northern Zhou Dynasty obviously realized that they were encountering a tough problem. They no longer rushed forward against the dense rain of bullets, but turned their horses' heads to the north. At this time, the armored cavalry of the Northern Zhou Dynasty also separated to both sides and finally got away.
They were entangled by the Han army's armored cavalry, and the price was that at least twenty armored cavalry fell on this land.
The price paid by the Han army was not much less than this, and there were even more heavy armored soldiers and Mo swordsmen.
There is no way. Simply talking about the combat experience and tactics of the cavalry, the Han army is indeed far behind the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
It is God's blessing that the two sides can reach such a draw.
The next target of the Northern Zhou Jiaqi was obviously very clear, which was the Han army's musketeers.
As the various units of the Han army advance, it is obviously difficult for the artillery to play its role, especially now that the two sides have gradually come into close contact, so the artillery is the biggest threat to the Northern Zhou army. Even if the entire armored cavalry army is wiped out, it will not be possible.
You have to kill the opponent's musketeers as much as possible, especially you can't let the musketeers form such a dense formation to shoot!
"Who is the opponent's coach?" Li Ping asked curiously.
He is very good at focusing on key points, and from the beginning of the battle, he was able to compete with the Han army for the initiative on the battlefield. Unlike many previous battles, the Northern Zhou army could only be passively beaten when the muskets were fired.
The opponent's rapid advance and retreat avoided the possibility of being attacked head-on by the Han army to the greatest extent, and gave full play to the Northern Zhou cavalry's ability to quickly turn around, mobilizing the Han army's musketeers as much as possible to line up in a way that was most beneficial to the Northern Zhou, or
In other words, the light cavalry was used to lure the musketeers to form a formation in front of the armored cavalry, so that the armored cavalry could attack the musketeers immediately after asking the Han army to entangle them.
This coach is very smart.
"Hou Mo Chen Rui." Yin Sengshou, the marching registrar of the Imperial Guard standing next to Li Ping, said helplessly, "We only judged this based on the flags of the generals on the opposite side after the battle started. The Zhou people had kept the confidentiality work before.
Well done, neither our scouts nor the white robes found anything."
Yin Sengshou is the son of the former Chen Ting Weiqing Yin Buhai. Yin Buhai was also a veteran of the previous dynasty, but he was already old. He had already retired before Li Xingchen rose to power. Now he is over eighty, and he is an internal member of the Han Dynasty.
Countless elderly people who live long lives are considered auspicious by the local people.
And Yin Sengshou is in the middle of his middle age. He has wasted half his life, and now he is looking forward to making great achievements. Especially his son Yin Qiao has been admitted to Jinling Academy through his own efforts, which makes Yin Sengshou feel the pressure.
The old father was a veteran of the previous dynasty, and his boy's grades in the academy are not bad now. He may get an important job if he passes the imperial examination. But if he keeps doing nothing, wouldn't it be too embarrassing?
This is also the reason why Yin Sengshou appeared on the battlefield.
The military needs a large number of bookkeepers who can process documents, coordinate intelligence and issue orders. Naturally, the two sides hit it off immediately, and Yin Sengshou himself has outstanding abilities, so he can also appear in the position of bookkeeper for the advance march of the Imperial Guard.
