Chapter 119 Cavalry Battle
More than 1 cavalry intercepted [-] cavalry, three times more troops, Dangdang Judging from the data, the Xianbei cavalry completely crushed the Youzhou cavalry.

Youzhou cavalry is very fast, but it is not easy to go to the city for support at a time.

Moreover, the advantage of the cavalry after entering the city is gone, so the support of the [-] Youzhou cavalry should only attack the enemies outside the city who are about to enter the city.

Under such circumstances, [-] Xianbei cavalry and [-] Youzhou cavalry faced each other very quickly.

"Brothers, let the Xianbei people have a taste of our strength." The cavalry leader Che Zhenwu shouted, and then ordered: "The whole army obeys the order and charges through the wall."

"The whole army obeys the order and charges through the wall."

"The whole army obeys the order and charges through the wall."

Following the order of the cavalry leader Che Zhenwu, three thousand cavalry quickly formed a tight wall.

The dense cavalry formation made the entire cavalry team weaker several times in an instant.

The wall charge is the tactic of the peak period of cavalry tactics, and it is the cavalry counterattack of civilized countries against barbaric countries.

This kind of cavalry tactic has very low requirements for riding skills, and it can be formed into an army with a little training.

Historically, cavalry using wall tactics can always defeat cavalry using firearms.

In the 17th century in Europe, a kind of extremely tall cavalry was developed. Each cavalry was equipped with two or three short ammunition, and the ammunition was loaded in advance. When encountering enemy cavalry, they would shoot a volley, and they could fight in an instant. The enemy suffered heavy casualties and even collapsed.

However, this kind of cavalry is often beaten when facing the wall-style assault cavalry formation.

The emergence of this kind of tactics forced European countries to abandon the tall arms of musketeers, and finally learned the seemingly backward wall charge.

The reason why the wall charge tactic is not well-known in history is that it has the same treatment as plate armor. It caught up with the era of rapid development of firearms and was eventually eliminated by more and more advanced firearms.

The traditional cavalry formation is loose. When facing a dense wall-style assault cavalry, a knight with superb riding skills has to face three or four cavalry at the same time.

In battle, no matter how skilled the cavalry is, they can only be beaten to death in a grievance-it is even difficult for them to cause casualties to the wall-mounted cavalry.

The essence of traditional cavalry tactics lies in superb riding skills and one-shot escape.

When facing wall-type assault cavalry, traditional cavalry cannot escape at all, because the enemy is too dense and there is no space to shuttle.

When they bumped into a wall-type assault cavalry, it was like hitting a wall. If they wanted to escape, they would turn around and escape unless they were far away. If they moved too slowly and were caught up, they would die.

The best way to deal with the wall charge is to use the same wall charge, so that the casualties of both sides are similar.

It is the strongest tactic of the Mongols, the mangu evil tactic, which will also be beaten to pieces when encountering a wall charge.

Because the burden of the Mangujie tactical cavalry is very heavy, several quiveres plus feather arrows weigh tens of catties, and the projectile cavalry also needs to be equipped with leather armor melee weapons, etc., and the load is very heavy.

Moreover, it is very difficult to shoot arrows on horseback. Even in the era when the Three Treasures of Cavalry were widely popularized in later generations, the cavalry who can use Mangudao tactics is still rare.

Although many cavalry can ride horses and shoot arrows, there are very few who can maintain horse speed and shoot arrows.

When shooting an arrow on a horse, it is impossible to shoot forward because the horse's head blocks it. This is the cunning of Mangu's tactics.

However, no matter which direction the arrow is shot, the speed of the horse must be slowed down, which will make it easy for the cavalry in the wall charge to catch up and have a good time.

The main reason why Mangu's tactics were able to crush European cavalry was because Europe was all heavy cavalry at that time, and their speed was not fast.

The wall assault cavalry is not the case. In addition to the saddle, it only needs a saber.

The Youzhou cavalry's riding skills are definitely not as good as the Xianbei who grew up on horseback, so Zhang Qingfeng called the wall cavalry tactics to his students.

Now, it is the first time that this cavalry tactic is really used on the battlefield.

After the three thousand Youzhou cavalry formed a dense formation, they waited in place, and only when tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry were less than a kilometer away from them did they speed up to meet them.

Seen from the sky, tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry were densely packed, almost dozens of times the size of Youzhou cavalry.

The Youzhou cavalry, on the other hand, just looks like a rectangular mass of gray, because it is too dense, and if you look from the sky, you can't tell that they are [-] cavalry if you don't pay attention.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and the three thousand cavalry began to speed up. Like a huge wave, the North Korean low cavalry swept past.

It didn't take long for the cavalry from both sides to collide.

Under normal circumstances, when the cavalry of both sides confronts each other, both sides will stagger with the enemy. If you are lucky, you will kill the enemy and survive, and if you are unlucky, you will be killed by the enemy.

However, when the Xianbei cavalry met the [-] Youzhou cavalry, it was as if a wave met a rock. No matter how many Xianbei cavalry continued to attack, the [-] Youzhou cavalry remained motionless.

And as the Youzhou cavalry continued to attack, the entire Xianbei cavalry formation seemed to be penetrated.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Youzhou cavalry, countless people shouted and waved their sabers at the enemy.

They have three treasures of cavalry, which are not weaker than Xianbei's cavalry in horsemanship, and some are even better.

They used a dense cavalry formation to charge, and each time three or four people hit one person, they killed people very easily.

Under their impact, any enemy standing in front of them can only become a dead person.

Although they also had casualties, the casualties were not large. Only about ten enemies could replace one of them.

Under such circumstances, soon, if you look down from a high altitude, you will find that the Xianbei cavalry in front of the Youzhou cavalry is collapsing on both sides.

They lost the courage to attack the Youzhou cavalry.

Under such circumstances, all the Youzhou cavalrymen started screaming, and started chasing and killing the Xianbei cavalrymen with great excitement.

If it is said that during the previous confrontation, the Xianbei cavalry could exchange ten of the Youzhou cavalry for one, but now, it has become the target of a unilateral massacre by the Youzhou cavalry.

Chased by the Youzhou cavalry, the Xianbei cavalry soon collapsed and fled in all directions.

The Youzhou cavalry, on the other hand, pursued and killed the most numerous Xianbei cavalry, and they did not stop chasing until the horse's physical strength decreased slightly.

In this battle, three thousand cavalrymen killed at least three or four thousand Xianbei cavalrymen. This record made everyone very excited.

Afterwards, after cleaning the battlefield, the Youzhou cavalry obtained thousands of unowned horses. These were the horses of the Xianbei cavalry who died in battle.

But it's a pity that these war horses don't have the three treasures of cavalry on them, so they are not suitable for Youzhou cavalry to go directly into battle.

But even so, it was enough to make everyone excited.

This battle happened very quickly, but it also ended very quickly, less than an hour before and after.

After leaving dozens of people to guard the spoils, the remaining cavalry immediately went into the battle to support the military factory.
