The general was like this, and his spirit quickly affected the other Huns cavalry. They all howled and hurried on, showing the image of who else could be the hero of the world.
As a result, Meng Luo, in addition to resting at night, kept on traveling during the day. When they arrived at a place ten miles ahead of Pingcheng, it was actually two hours earlier than expected. But even so, when they arrived at their destination
When they were about to choose a place for the army to camp, a cavalry team of about 5,000 people came from the direction of Pingcheng in the distance.
"It's the cavalry of the Great Chinese Army. They came over on their own initiative." Before Meng Luo could give orders to investigate the surrounding situation, he heard the sound of shouting all night long. Meng Luo, who had just dismounted, got on his horse again, and then led
The Hun cavalry who had organized their troops got into a fighting stance.
The cavalry of the Dahua Army was very fast. They crossed the trench on the wooden planks that had been laid long ago and ran straight towards the Huns' 10,000-strong army ten miles away. The team did not intend to attack, which made it look quite dangerous.
neat.
On the towers of Pingcheng, Feng Xun, Lou Chao and others also took out telescopes to monitor every move on the battlefield.
"Are there only five thousand cavalry?" Meng Luo's eyes scanned the distance and asked the young general Ye Bushou beside him.
"Yes, General, there are only five thousand Chinese cavalry on the opposite side of us." Ye Bushou, the young general, replied.
"Hmph! Is the Great Chinese Army too arrogant? Go and look around to see if there is an ambush from the Great Chinese Army." Meng Luo's mouth showed disdain. He had communicated with the Great Chinese Army, but
It is very clear that this army is very cunning, and I feel that the Great Chinese Army should send more than this number of troops.
After receiving the order, General Ye Busu led his men to search left and right, and soon the news came back. As Meng Luo thought, there was indeed an ambush of five thousand Great Chinese Army cavalry to the west of them.
, and they are also heavy cavalry.
"Hahaha." Meng Luo was not surprised when he heard the result. On the contrary, he laughed in response.
He finally figured out that the Chinese army was still using the same ambush tactics. First, they waited for him to arrive, and then they appeared directly, hoping to attract his attention. Unfortunately, their calculations were wrong, and he was still very cautious.
He sent Ye BuZhou and realized the purpose of the Great Chinese Army's cavalry one step earlier.
The laughter slowly subsided. After feeling that he had fully understood the tactics of the Shanshan Guards, Meng Luo also quickly issued an order: "When the battle begins, the army will charge with all its strength. First, severely damage the five thousand light cavalry of the Shanshan Guards in front.
, then leave the battlefield as early as possible and don’t come into contact with the heavy cavalry of the Shanshan Guard. They won’t be able to catch up with us by then, and they will have no choice but to follow us and eat ashes, hahaha.”
"The general is wise." The commanders of the Huns army kept flattering him, as if they had already won the battle.
Yes, heavy cavalry is not easy to mess with, because once they fight with them, with the advantage of heavier armor, the light cavalry will not get much benefit from the collision. But fortunately, the heavy cavalry is not
Almighty. For example, because they are too heavy, they cannot move very fast. This gives the light cavalry a speed advantage. When the time comes, whether it is a wandering fight or a direct retreat, the initiative will be in their hands.
in hands.
After Meng Luo formulated the battle strategy, when the Shanshan Guards on the opposite side were still five miles away from them, the 10,000 Huns cavalry began to move, first walking slowly, then jogging, then running, and began to move up
The speed of a war horse.
The Huns cavalry took the lead in launching a charge, and Yuan Xin, who was leading five thousand Shanshan Guard light cavalry, naturally ordered to speed up and prepare for a collision from the opposite side.
"Captain Fengbao, you will bring a part of the cavalry behind. Once you find that the Huns cavalry want to retreat, you will try your best to entangle them and create enough time for our heavy cavalry to surround them. Do you understand?
?" Yuan Xin held the bright silver gun in his right hand and lowered his body to reduce air pressure resistance while shouting to Feng Bao, the leader of the third regiment.
"Brigadier, don't worry, you should also be more careful." Feng Bao replied loudly.
"Haha, it's okay. It's just 10,000 Huns cavalry. They can't hurt me." Yuan Xin laughed loudly, and then kept urging the horses, making him quickly become the strongest among the advancing army.
The one who stands out.
The Shanshan Guard is the strongest force among the cavalry of the Great Chinese Army.
They are powerful not only because they have experienced hundreds of battles, not only because they are well-equipped, and not only because they are well-trained. It is also because the leading generals always charge forward, which sets a good example and is equivalent to using force.
Practical actions inspired other soldiers to fight.
It is not incredible that such an army with generals who dare to fight and soldiers who dare to die will become strong.
Among the Xiongnu army on the other side, Meng Luo would not charge forward like Yuan Xin. Instead, he would be in the center of the army under the protection of more than a dozen cavalry. This is also a conservative style of play. If he is really the commander in chief
If something goes wrong while charging forward, the entire army may be in chaos, leading to the army's collapse.
They are not like the Great Chinese Army. There are strict regulations in the army. Once the brigade commander is injured or killed in action, the position will be taken over by the chief of staff. But if something happens to the chief of staff, the first regiment commander will take over, and then
They are the commander of the second regiment, the commander of the third regiment, the commander of the first regiment and the battalion, and so on.
With such a complete command structure, there is no need to worry about the loss of the general and the big impact on the army.
Both sides began to exert force, and the distance was getting closer and closer. Everyone had a tacit understanding that no one had the intention to take out bows and arrows. It seemed that doing so would affect the speed and power of their impact. This made the impact speed of the two armies
Getting faster and faster, until they met at close range, there were soon a lot of banging and banging sounds.
The collision force of a war horse running at high speed is no less than that of a small-displacement car in later generations. When so many war horses are focused together, it is inevitable that they will not be able to change direction in time and collide with each other.
When the sound of bang bang hits, it represents the result of a cavalryman falling from his horse, ranging from being injured to being directly killed in battle.
And this also sounded the clarion call for the cavalry of both sides to fight. Countless bright silver spears and curved sabers collided together, and then came the chopping, stabbing, stabbing, scratching, swiping and other moves that came back and forth between you and me.
Yuan Xin rushed to the front, the bright silver spear in his hand shaking flexibly, slashing, swinging, rowing, stabbing. In a short period of time, five Huns cavalry were killed or wounded in his hands.
When he missed the sixth cavalryman, the nimble Hun cavalry suddenly bent his body on the side of the horse and successfully avoided his attack. Then he jumped on the horse again and quickly pointed the scimitar towards Yuan Xin's rear.
The back was chopped off.
When the gun passed by and there was a feeling of emptiness that it did not hit the target, Yuan Xin secretly screamed something bad. Almost the next moment, he instinctively put the bright silver gun behind him, and he had just prepared it.
, the scimitar slashed over, hitting the bright silver gun in the middle, and a huge force came from it.
Lying down on the horse's back and taking off the huge force, Yuan Xin broke out in a layer of cold sweat on his head.
He must admit that this time he still underestimated the strength of the Huns' cavalry, especially the armor on the opponent's body, which can already play a certain protective role. It is no longer like when they fought against foreigners before, their ordinary knights were wearing
Wearing leather armor, when faced with a bright silver spear, it would often break with one blow.
Coupled with the superb equestrian skills of the Huns, their combat power has increased a lot, and the Shanshan Guard's advantage is no longer as strong as it used to be.
But even so, Yuan Xin had no intention of retreating. On the contrary, the enemy's strength also aroused his endless fighting spirit. Wouldn't it be fun if the enemy were stronger? If he was defeated in one blow, there would be nothing.
mean.
Even Yuan Xin was almost hit. It can be imagined that the Huns cavalry did have some skills. As the two sides fought, the number of losses between the two sides also began to increase. Even the Shanshan Guard also fell after an impact.
He brought about five hundred war horses.
Of course, the losses of the Huns' cavalry would only be heavier, with about 600 horses downed. This was mainly because the Shanshan Guards' armor was stronger and could better protect themselves.
About a hundred more people were lost, but there was no trace of distress on Meng Luo's face. He first looked to the west. The five thousand heavy cavalry of the Shanshan Guards had indeed appeared, but they were still far away.
Decided to attack again and hit the Mountain-Shaking Guard hard.
Relying on the numerical advantage, Meng Luo had no intention of retreating immediately, and once again raised his saber high and shouted the word "kill".
But this approach gave the Shanshan Guards the opportunity to surround them. Because Meng Luo didn't know that behind them, there was a heavy cavalry regiment of 5,000 people rushing towards the battlefield.
Meng Luo was not weak in vigilance and knew to check before the battle to see if there were enemies on the left and right. But he forgot to send someone to check behind him, maybe because he just came from there. But it was Yuan Xinzang who ignored this point.
The killer spot.
As soon as the so-called Huns arrived, they killed them out to attract their attention, or a heavy cavalry regiment appeared from the west, but they were all deceptions. The real killer move of the Storm Brigade was to hide behind and ambush.
of five thousand heavy cavalry.
Facts have proved that Meng Luo fell into the trap. He only looked at the left and right sides in front, but forgot to look behind him. If he knew that the retreat behind him had been blocked by the heavy cavalry of the Shanshan Guard, he would never launch another attack.
The second charge was a waste of valuable time that could have been used to escape.
