Turbulent Times Chapter 1095: Riding battle (middle)
Through more than a year of rigorous training, these three thousand cavalry have been able to approach and charge at a distance of up to three hundred steps.
Three thousand horses marched slowly, and twelve team leaders with flags on their backs jumped out of the formation and came five steps ahead of the right side of the formation. The subordinates can also clearly see the position. These squad leaders turn their heads from time to time to observe the position of Yuchi Jingde's commander-in-chief's flag. Advance to the Goguryeo cavalry.
Zhang Tiangang also sent forty scouts from the special forces team to follow up behind the dense cavalry formation. They looked a little loose, and they gathered together in threes and fives, twenty steps away from the last row of the cavalry formation, serving as the hussars. As a character, freely attack the enemy cavalry that broke through the front line.
Wang Junlin looked at the slowly advancing cavalry, and felt a little excited. He thought that whether this cavalry combat method is effective, it will be verified through this battle. If it is effective, all cavalry will be trained according to this method in the future .
Influenced by the atmosphere of the battlefield, the blood-maned horse roared violently, obviously its bloodthirsty and violent side was aroused, and wanted to rush forward to join the fight, but was calmed down by Wang Junlin.
At this time, the infantry drum sounded from the side and rear, and the infantry formation of Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong appeared on the top of the slope. Wang Junlin led the special forces to leave the front and retreated from the gap in the army formation to the back formation. Wang Junlin glanced at the south **** from the top of the slope. As the reserve team, Luo Chunlai led the five thousand naval divisions. In the infantry, there are hundreds of Goguryeo auxiliary soldiers in the back, and then turned their attention back to the cavalry battlefield.
The Goguryeo cavalry team sounded their horns, and the formation slowly approached. They also found the Sui army infantry formed by Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong on the right rear, but the Sui army cavalry took the initiative to fight, and once they retreated, it would be out of control. Besides, they came like a rainbow, if they ran away when they saw the enemy, their morale would plummet, and there were also infantry reinforcements behind them, they just rushed over ahead of time.
There were a lot of casualties. Some Goguryeo rangers who wanted revenge were still fighting with the special forces scouts, but the special forces scouts began to retreat to the two sides, leaving the middle position, and some Goguryeo rangers in the middle They rushed directly to Yuchi Jingde's cavalry formation, and the Goguryeo formation also specially separated out some organized squadrons of cavalry to strengthen the skirmishers. These squads scattered to the two wings, shuttled in front of the formation and shot light arrows with riding bows.
This is the most common tactic used by the cavalry. Its purpose is to lure the enemy to leave or waver, while the group behind the formation looks for the opponent's weak position to conduct a concentrated assault, causing the entire enemy formation to collapse.
But obviously the Goguryeo people in front of them are about to be disappointed. Their harassment is more like a disturbance. The arrow curtain can resist light arrows shot at a relatively small angle. In total, only five or six horses were shot, and the boring hands in the second row quickly stepped forward to fill up.
The scout cavalry of the special forces team tried their best to restrain the opponent, and Yuchi Jingde led twelve platoons of cavalry to continue advancing against the harassing light arrows.
The gentle speed brought up the chaotic sound of horseshoes, and the two sides approached 300 steps. The flag of Yuchi Jingde leaned forward again. Jump up and start jogging.
Yuchi Jingde ignored the light arrows flying from afar, and observed his formation left and right while running. The three thousand cavalrymen all began to jog. The captains of the teams effectively controlled the team, and the formation was not chaotic due to harassment. The results of a year's hard training reflected that the formation was still stable.
The horseshoes on the gentle **** are no longer a chaotic sound, the dense hoofbeats slowly converge into a rumbling sound, which is like fairy music to Yuchi Jingde's ears. Yuchi Jingde is not a reckless man. , is also a qualified general, knowing the power of the cavalry tactics that Wang Junlin asked him to train, so he trained strictly for a year, and now is also the time for him to test the training effect.
The distance between the two sides will soon be only two hundred steps. Because of the reason of facing each other, Yuchi Jingde will think that there are only more than a hundred steps. The flat array is like a moving wall of horses. space, retreating at the fastest speed in front of the dense cavalry.
The Goguryeo cavalry appeared in front of Yuchi Jingde in its entirety, their armor was shining, most of their weapons were spears and swords, and they started to jog in the same order, but their strictness was only compared to ordinary horse thieves and bandits. The cavalry is spaced wider, and the troops are not evenly distributed. There is a garrison in the left, middle and right. After they started jogging, they became a little scattered.
Yuchi Jingde's blood surged, and he roared like a thunderbolt on the ground: "Three speeds!"
Another sound of the marching horn, the flag of the chief officer circled and leaned forward, the twelve captains issued a loud order, the pennant guns leaned forward again, Wang Junlin's cavalry heard the sound of the horn, and at the same time accelerated their horses, the sound of rumbling horseshoes was like the sky Ben Lei from far to near.
The harassed Goguryeo rangers, no one dared to stand in front of the soldiers, fled to the sides one after another, and aimed at the two wings with bows and arrows.
As they approach each other, the distance between the two sides is only the last hundred steps in a blink of an eye, and it only takes a few breaths.
"Charge!" Yuchi Jingde yelled again against the blowing wind, and the two trumpeters beside him blew their horns loud and clear. Yuchi Jingde and the twelve squad leaders leveled their black flag guns.
"Kill!"
The Sui cavalry shouted collectively according to military regulations, and the erected spears in the first row were leveled, followed by the boring palladium in the second row. The Goguryeo soldiers also sounded their horns, and they also flattened their spears and raised their swords, and both sides began to charge.
Wang Junlin at the top of the **** involuntarily stepped on the back of the blood-maned horse and stood up, staring at the battlefield intently. His eyes were full of galloping horses, and the dirt and grass clippings brought up by thousands of horseshoes were flying around,
The vibration generated by the Pentium can be felt even on the top of the slope.
Zhang Tiangang next to Wang Junlin also opened his mouth wide, his eyes were open for a moment, holding his breath and waiting for the moment of collision. The dense formation left no way for both sides to retreat, and there was no room for dodging. Killing and being killed were only at the moment when the horses intersected. At this time, personal combat skills and riding skills were no longer important. Strict discipline and personal His courage is best demonstrated in cavalry battles.
The oncoming Goguryeo cavalry began to panic. Under the threat of dense spears in front of them, some horses ran diagonally to the side regardless of the rider's control.
