Chapter 1987 Light cavalry, staggered in an instant
"Hou Mo Chen Rui?" Li Ping repeated subconsciously, "Hou Mo Chen Chong's son?"
"That's right." When Yin Sengshou was young, he accompanied his father as an envoy to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He was very clear about the children of these high-ranking generals in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. "Among the sons of Hou Mo Chen Chong, this Hou Mo Chen Rui should be the most up-to-date.
, he had followed Yu Wenxian in his expeditions to the north and south. Later, Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian had a direct conflict. Hou Mo Chen Rui did not have time to follow Yu Wen
Opportunity in Nanyang.”
Li Ping nodded: "Hou Mo and Chen Ying have an impression that Nanyang City was destroyed and this man committed suicide and died for his country. At that time, His Majesty personally ordered a good life and a good burial."
Yin Sengshou then said: "Hou Mo and Chen Rui took advantage of the chaos when our army entered Guanzhong to escape, defected to Yu Wenxian in Yecheng, and was appointed. However, this person never appeared on the frontline battlefield again.
, is mainly responsible for the recruitment and training of the northern garrison. Apart from the military camp, he rarely appears on other occasions, so he is not well-known, and many people even ignore his existence."
"At least in terms of the changes just now, this person cannot be ignored." Li Ping said directly, "And at least his younger brother Hou Mo Chen Ying died in our hands, plus the Xianbei of Hou Mo Chen's family
Given his identity, this person will definitely fight to the death with our army as much as possible."
"What does the general think should be done?"
Li Ping pointed at the artillery that had been pushed from the hillside to the flat ground: "The artillery does not move forward in vain."
After realizing that the target of the armored cavalry was themselves, the Musketeers had begun to retreat, while the Mo Dao team and the heavy armored soldiers also pushed forward, temporarily blocking the path of the armored cavalry. In addition, large shields were also on fire.
The front of the shooter stood up.
The Han army's armored cavalry did not turn back to trouble the Northern Zhou army's armored cavalry. That meant that the Han army's armored cavalry had to turn their horses around and even expose their flanks and backs to the Northern Zhou army. The gain outweighed the losses. Therefore, the Han army's armored cavalry directly
Move forward and charge towards the large formation of Northern Zhou infantry.
Also rushing forward with them were the two wing infantry of the Han army. Lu Zhiwu and Lu Shizhen were not slow at all. Once the Han army's armored cavalry was able to tear a hole in the Northern Zhou's infantry formation, let them
If they charge in, then these two guys will have enough confidence to seal the victory.
Armor Cavalry is about to play its real role. It just depends on who of the two sides fails to stop it first, and whoever is likely to accept defeat!
The Northern Zhou Qingqi attacked the Han Army's armored cavalry from the flanks in an attempt to contain the armored cavalry's advance as much as possible, but soon the Han Army's light cavalry also attacked, and their short muskets finally had a place to be used, and they opened fire one after another.
.
Although the Zhou people's Qingqi suffered little loss, they all knew that if they left the Han cavalry alone at this time and went to look for trouble with the armored cavalry, it would be tantamount to exposing their flanks to the Han Qingqi, so they could only
He was able to turn his horse's head in a hurry, hoping to quickly defeat the Han army's light cavalry with their numerical advantage in a short period of time.
But they thought too well.
The number of light cavalry in the Han army was insufficient. This was something Li Ping knew very well. Therefore, the order he gave to Hou Mi was that they must cooperate with the infantry and armored cavalry and never act alone. These more than a thousand cavalry are already the main force of the Han army in Hanoi.
If half of the cavalry that went north were lost here, it would be even harder for the remaining thousand or so cavalry to play any role.
Therefore, even if the Han army's light cavalry launches an attack, there will be a large group of infantry following behind them, especially the Mo Dao team in the army. It may be useless against the armored cavalry, but it is still very good at dealing with the light cavalry. At this time, they are all assigned to Hou Mi
Under unified command, the infantry such as the Modao team and the crossbowmen, which can quickly suppress the enemy's cavalry, run in the inner circle, and the cavalry detours from the outer circle. Firstly, the straight-line distance of the two sides is almost the same. Secondly, the cavalry also helps the infantry.
The pawn covered the flanks to avoid a direct attack by the enemy's cavalry.
Now the Han cavalry attacked first, and the Han army's Modao team followed the cavalry.
The cavalry from both sides clashed instantly, swords flashed, and people kept falling off their horses.
The two cavalrymen separated again. When the Northern Zhou cavalrymen were about to turn their horses and charge again, arrows were already coming towards them.
"Fire arrows!" The Northern Zhou cavalry generals also shouted, but this shout was obviously not enough to save the Northern Zhou cavalry from facing the crisis of the Han army's crossbowmen.
Behind the arrow, the Mo Dao team pressed forward directly.
More Han infantry, whether sword, shield or spearmen, paid no attention to the fierce battle between the cavalry and the Mo Dao team. They directly detoured from both sides and continued to advance towards the Northern Zhou infantry formation!
Even the Han cavalry did not turn back, and continued to move forward without slowing down, keeping up with the attacking Han cavalry!
The war horses neighed, and the Han army's armored cavalry stepped into the Northern Zhou army's formation.
Muskets were fired one after another, and the Northern Zhou armored cavalry were also enveloped by the musketeers' bullets.
In the blink of an eye, the situation on the entire battlefield suddenly changed.
In addition to the central army of the Han army that had not moved, the left and right wings of the Han army, including armored cavalry and light cavalry, had already collided with the Northern Zhou infantry formation at the rear, while the Northern Zhou cavalry had a good fight with the Han army's Modao troops.
One time, one person had the advantage in numbers and the other had the advantage in weapons, and it might be really difficult to decide the outcome for a while. At the same time, the Northern Zhou armored cavalry also faced off against the Han army's musketeers.
After the Mo Dao team, which was fighting with the armored cavalry, found that it could no longer catch up to stop the enemy's armored cavalry, they simply joined up with more teammates to deal with the opponent's light cavalry.
"Sacrifice the musketeers to cut through our army's formation?" At this time, on the opposite hillside, under the general's banner with "Hou Mo Chen" written on it, a middle-aged general frowned, looking at this unexpected situation in front of him.
War situation.
It was Northern Zhou coach Hou Mochen Rui.
Years of battlefield experience told him that once the battle situation changes unexpectedly, he can only bet that the opponent's coach did not expect such a change. However, such a bet is often unlikely to succeed, and it is impossible for any coach.
Direct the battle as you wish.
That is to say, whether the other party is adapting to the situation or has a plan, at least it is not out of the other party's control.
But the current situation is indeed out of the control of Hou Mo and Chen Rui. But he still hasn't figured it out, is Li Ping really willing to give up so many musketeers?
The next moment, Li Ping answered this question.
The musketeers split to both sides like a wave.
"Boom boom boom!"
This is the sound of artillery.
The shells fired were neither ordinary solid shells nor exploding shells that might have little impact on armored cavalry, but chain shells that are more commonly used by the navy!
Chain rounds are composed of two smaller solid rounds with an iron chain in the middle. Its purpose is to use the strong inertia of the two shells during naval battles to drive the iron chain to directly cut the mast of the opposing warship, causing the opponent to lose the initiative.
!
Now the iron chain cuts not the mast, but the war horse.
