Turbulent Times Chapter 1463: Meat for the mouth

From the beginning to the end, the cavalry of the Steel Knife Battalion of the Far East Army never fought head-on with Zhang Jincheng's bandit soldiers, or even fought in close combat.

Of course the thieves will not sit still. They also have bows and arrows. Unfortunately, their bows and arrows are far less sharp and powerful than the Far East Army. Jia's steel knife battalion cavalry caused heavy casualties.

Not to mention that most of the feathered arrows shot from the hedgehog formation by the thieves were left behind by the high-speed galloping horses. , Even the steel armor is difficult to break through, let alone the horse speed area, which immediately loses its strength.

Occasionally, officers and soldiers whose horses were injured did not stop at all, and followed the brigade to the distance, leaving temporarily. There were spare horses there, and soon they would return to the team on their horses to join the battle.

Zhang Jin said that he is experienced in many battles. He has commanded many wars, large and small, in the past few years, but this is the first time he has seen this scene. If he hadn't seen it himself, he would not have believed it. The war can still be fought like this, or the war will be fought like this.

Under the expression of seeing a ghost, Zhang Jin said that he really couldn't believe the results he saw. Tens of thousands of cavalry were circling around his hedgehog circle, and each of the brothers under his command fired at least seven or eight arrows, but he hardly saw anyone fall from the other side.

The screams from their side were one after another. After a rough calculation, at least three or four thousand people fell down.

This is a tactic that Zhang Jin said he has never seen or even heard of before.

But even so, the Steel Knife Battalion of the Far East Army still didn't want to break through the gap. They didn't seem to be addicted to unilateral slaughter.

The wind breaks away like the wind, and the wind turns back like the wind, and the cycle goes on and on continuously. This is one of the many cavalry tactics of the Far East Army's maneuvering tactics.

After each round of maneuvering tactics, at least hundreds of minions fell down, and each round of shooting destroyed the morale of the minion soldiers like a hammer.

Zhang Jin said that if he had fought against the Turks, he would find that this tactic was very similar to that used by the Turkic cavalry against the Sui infantry.

In fact, this

The roundabout tactic itself is one of the eleven tactics of the Far Eastern Army cavalry that was born out of the Turkic cavalry tactics.

"Everyone listens to my orders, all raise their shields, all raise their shields over the top."

"There are also archers, all archers aim at the horse and shoot!"

Zhang Jin said that he reacted quickly and had a keen eye, but this is already the only coping method he knows that seems to be effective.

If a large number of war horses fall to the ground, the attack rhythm of the Far Eastern Army will be disrupted, and the minion soldiers will have a chance to fight back.

But it's a pity that no matter whether they raised their shields over the top to resist the opponent's arrows, or the archers aimed and shot the opponent's horses, the effect was not very good.

So, this is just Zhang Jincheng's wishful thinking. The feathered arrows shot at the horses were thrown away by the Far Eastern Army's high-speed movement just like the feathered arrows shot at people. The enemy army is less than fifty.

"This is the strength of the Poison King's army. It's really powerful, and it's a very ordinary army under the Poison King's command." Zhang Jincheng's heart was full of fear.

He slowly stretched his hand towards the horizontal knife at his waist, with a ferocious and crazy expression on his face.

"Kill it! I don't believe it, and I don't even have a chance to commit suicide in the end." Zhang Jin said that he was ready to fight to the end, and then bravely committed suicide.

Since killing 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 a few times, he is no longer afraid of anyone or anything , So even after hearing that the famous poison king cut the heads of those bloodthirsty thieves into pieces, he still had no fear, no fear, and still went his own way.

Sure enough, the poisonous king's army was attracted.

He used to think that he would not be afraid of anyone, including the poisonous king, but after falling into a deadlock at this moment, he realized that he still had some fear in his heart. himself into death.

Zhang Jincheng's ability to live until now is not only related to his keen sense of danger, but also to his unique vision on the battlefield.

For example, at this time, he saw that he had to lead the team to take the initiative to fight, and he had to use the only 3,000 cavalry under his command to entangle the enemy, and then

Order all the pawns to wait for the opportunity to charge up, and take advantage of the fact that one side has no fewer numbers than the other side, and let the two sides fall into a melee. It is possible to lead some troops to escape.

Because, under the current situation, if the opponent is allowed to shoot continuously, sooner or later all the brothers under his command will be shot to death.

Even if his troops have just exhausted their courage to kill the enemy, if the number of passive beatings reaches a certain level, his troops will completely collapse.

At that time, his men and horses will immediately turn into sheep, and then they will be chased and killed by the wolf-like Far East Army, and they will have no power to fight back.

Zhang Jin said that he personally led two thousand cavalry, and resolutely rushed out from the formation. His two generals on the left and right each led a thousand cavalry to protect his left and right wings, and the other infantry were handed over to the big and small leaders. They commanded, waited for the cavalry to create an opportunity, and then waited for the opportunity to rush up and engage in melee.

The three teams of cavalry were in the shape of "Pin", and quickly rushed towards the nearest team of Far Eastern Army cavalry. But this team of cavalry from the Steel Knife Battalion of the Far Eastern Army did not engage in battle with the bandit cavalry at all. Instead, they shot and killed nearly a hundred of them, and then took advantage of their excellent horses and superb riding skills to fly away like the wind. .

Then take advantage of the long range of bows and arrows, and keep turning back to cast cold arrows while increasing the distance between them.

This style of play didn't last long, and Zhang Jin said he felt like he was going crazy.

Because it was the same as before, they still only had to be beaten. The most precious cavalry he had spent a lot of money to build kept screaming and fell off the horse, but they didn't even kill a single person on the other side.

In this way of fighting, the horses and bows and arrows are far inferior to the Far Eastern Army, and the riding and archery skills are not as good as the Far Eastern Army. Naturally, the thief army will suffer.

Obviously, Wei Daoer, who had been a bandit leader, knew very well what the disadvantages of the bandit army from the wild road were, and he had already thought out various corresponding tactics in advance.

Even if there are powerful archers in the bandit army, or bandits with excellent riding skills and better horses can shoot at the cavalry of the Far East Army, it will only splash a little spark on the excellent steel armor.

In this way, it seemed that Zhang Jincheng led three thousand cavalry to take the initiative to get up and be shot by the Far East Army.
