Chapter 814: The Great Destruction of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry (Part 2)

"The Liaodong cavalry is indeed well-deserved!" Zhang Shun sat on the high platform of the Chinese army, watching the officers, soldiers and cavalry outside the formation forming a horizontal formation. It retreats and comes again, each one as heavy as the other.

If you win, you will unite your team and pursue slowly; if you lose, you will reunite and not separate. If you divide and combine, you will come and go, and you will be able to adapt to the situation like a god. If you fight for yourself, you will win.

"Isn't this a bit like a 'wall charge'?" Zhang Shun couldn't help but sigh after seeing this.

Although Zhang Shun read a lot of online novels in his previous life, he didn't quite understand what the invincible "wall charge" was all about. However, facing the wall of opponents, I somewhat understood the meaning of "wall style".

In fact, Zhang Shun didn't know this. Everyone has two arms and two legs, and there is not much difference in weapons, equipment, and mounts. How could the cavalry tactics that are so effective and cure all diseases not be adopted by his contemporaries? Other human discoveries?

In fact, whether it is a "wall charge" or modern cavalry, it is just a formation of intensive charging.

Although there are slight differences in the middle, the overall difference is not big.

The traditional nomadic cavalry tactic is to form a sharp formation, or cone formation, in order to increase the impact of the cavalry.

However, with the development of firearms, the previous traditional heavy armor and spear impact tactics have encountered new challenges.

Violent firearms can easily tear through the protection of heavy armor, causing the casualty rates of lance riders who are more difficult to train to be similar to those of riders who use waist knives and sabers. Since then, the price-performance ratio of the Lancers has become worse and worse, and the Saber Cavalry has risen accordingly.

The cavalry tactics of the Ming Dynasty also changed as a result. More and more cavalry began to be divided into small teams based on sentries, and then charged in dense horizontal lines, almost exactly the same as the so-called "wall charge" in later generations.

Of course, the most terrifying thing about a dense formation is the intensive firepower.

When the officers, soldiers and cavalry were divided into small teams and charged one after another, the gunmen and archers in the rebel army were already ready.

In order to increase the lethality of firearms, the rebels deliberately set off firecrackers, bows and arrows to lure officers and soldiers into the formation.

At twenty steps, Bai Guangen and He Renlong gave orders, and firecrackers, bows and arrows were fired.

The team that rushed into the battle was immediately beaten to pieces, with half of the casualties.

Then, before the rebels had time to reload, the second wave of cavalry charged over again.

"Quick, quick, hold me back with the spearmen, and the gunmen and archers return to the formation!" the commander and flag commander in front of the rebel formation shouted loudly. The spearmen who were originally preparing to retreat to the rear were also called up temporarily.

"The spearmen all sit down, put their feet against the base of their guns, point diagonally in front of the formation, and prepare to resist the charge of the cavalry! The rest of the swordsmen and axemen are ready to follow the orders!"

The spearmen under He Renlong and Bai Guangen suddenly panicked. Some simply lay on the ground and refused to get up, while others squatted there stupidly. There were also some spearmen who collided with the retreating gunmen and archers.

When the corps commander and chief sergeant saw it, regardless of the danger, they stepped forward and kicked the disobedient man hard, and yelled: "You are looking for death, so sit down on the ground and hold your spear at an angle!"

Although facing the charge of the cavalry, the rebel spearmen, gunmen and archers panicked and caused a lot of trouble. However, with the whipping of the grassroots officers, they barely completed the tactical tasks.

Before the soldiers could react, the cavalry of the officers and soldiers roared in, and happened to encounter obstacles such as horses and iron caltrops placed in front of the formation by the rebels.

The rider carefully controlled the horse, avoiding the thorns on the ground, and then clamped his legs together, leaping up and leaping over the horse in front of him.

Of course, there were also times when a panicked rider who was not good at learning accidentally bumped into the horse and flipped over, causing a small commotion.

As soon as the cavalry crossed the Juma, they crashed into the rebel formation.

With a "click", the rifle shaft in the hand of the rebel soldier sitting on the ground suddenly broke. Some soldiers were knocked out on the spot; some soldiers were trampled directly by horse hooves and made miserable screams.

Some of them pierced the enemy or their horses, but still became the dead souls under the enemy's swords and horses' hooves; some stood up and turned around to escape, but were cut off half of their heads by the chasing cavalry.

This is a collision of flesh and flesh, blood and blood, a collision of life for life and life for life. It is the dance of death and the mourning of a funeral!

The dense formation composed of two groups of pikemen was almost broken by the officers and cavalry on the spot. Fortunately, these pikemen used their flesh and blood to stop the speed of the cavalry.

"Come forward for me, the swordsman!" I don't know how many low-level officers shouted loudly. It was time to collect the corresponding "debt" for the opportunity that my colleagues had bought with their blood.

Many swordsmen had already been frightened by the blood in front of them and stood motionless. Some of the swordsmen, with fear in their minds, only relied on instinct and rushed forward according to the officer's order.

He used the broadsword and long-handled ax in his hands to chop down the officers and soldiers. Those who can reach it can chop people, and those who can't reach can chop horses. There are also sword and shield hands, who use their shields to protect their upper bodies, roll over, and slash the horse's legs with the waist knife in their hands.

"Crack!" Only a crisp sound was heard, followed by a scream. Cutting off a horse's leg is a very dangerous thing. If the horse is in pain, just one strong kick will break the muscles and bones of the soldiers below.

In addition, the cavalry were sitting on their mounts, much higher than the infantry, making it easier for them to stab from above. The swordsmen and axemen who were beaten by the cavalry also suffered terribly.

Fortunately, the soldiers' tactics of attacking the horses were effective. Many of the horses were so painful that they overturned the knights on their backs and started charging forward. When those knights landed, they were immediately cut into pieces by the soldiers' swords and axes.

It's too late to say it, but it's soon!

The confrontation between the two sides was fierce but short. Soon the officers, soldiers and cavalry got rid of the entanglement of the rebel infantry, turned around and fled to both sides, and a new charge appeared outside the formation.

"Pikemen, pikemen!" the low-level officers of the rebel army shouted loudly and began to reorganize their formation. "All the swordsmen and axemen, please step back and come back later!"

It goes and comes. Officers, soldiers and cavalry fought repeatedly with the rebels, and the front of the rebel formation was covered with corpses and blood stains.

"King Shun!" Niu Jinxing couldn't bear it any longer. Even if he was ruthless and evil, he couldn't accept that the soldiers' wealth and lives were "wasted" on the battlefield like this. "Isn't it time to release the surprise troops?"

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, you only have one chance!" Zhang Shun endured all kinds of discomfort and responded expressionlessly. Compassion does not control soldiers, and righteousness does not control wealth. If there is a slight mistake, more soldiers will die here, and he cannot help being a little merciful.

"Haha, the thieves are gone!" Zu Kuan looked at the two crumbling square formations in front of him and said to Li Zhongzhen with a smile, "We can defeat this formation in one go, and the rest is killing time!"

Li Chongzhen also showed a victorious smile, nodded and said: "How can a frog in the well know how powerful our Liaodong cavalry is? Let these thieves see what war is today!"

"Order the entire army to charge in full force!"

Finally, the ground began to tremble. The rebel cavalry, which had been "biting" like hyenas and wolves, finally gathered together and prepared to launch a fatal blow!

The "rumbling" sound of horse hooves made a sound like a landslide and a tsunami. The densely packed cavalry rolled in like a torrent and a tsunami, and for a moment the rebel soldiers turned pale at each other.

Although Zhang Shun had seen it many times in this life, he still couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He even felt his fingers begin to tremble involuntarily.

Zhang Shun stood up suddenly, grabbed the flag of the ordering soldier beside him, shook it desperately, and loudly ordered: "Inform the whole army, fire cannons and cannons, and all the special troops are ready to counterattack!"

Yes, the artillery hidden in the rebel formation had been hidden for a long time, and he was just waiting for this opportunity.

The officers, soldiers and cavalry screamed strangely and rushed toward the rebel infantry formation. Gradually, they could see the pale face of the rebels, their panicked eyes, and the thief trembling!

Thirty steps, twenty steps, fifteen steps, ten steps.

The deafening sound of artillery sounded, and the shotguns, like raindrops, violently penetrated the armor of the officers and soldiers in front of them, penetrated their mounts, and penetrated their bodies.

Blood streaks flew across the sky, people fell on their backs, and lives were like worthless weeds, being ruthlessly harvested by small projectiles in patches!
