Chapter 1098: The Power of the Large Legion Cavalry
When they wanted to ask General Qiu Suisui for clarification, they discovered that no one had seen the General since the beginning of the war. The General seemed to have escaped?
As soon as this news came out, it dealt a heavy blow to the South Vietnamese cavalry, causing their morale to drop by more than half in an instant. When everyone knew that there might be no reinforcements, they were fighting alone and had been betrayed by Qiu Suisui long ago.
After that, many people showed very angry looks on their faces, but some people quietly retreated, and then retreated back with the remaining troops of the headquarters without even saying hello.
Even if there are no reinforcements, there is no point even if they win this battle. What's more, looking at the current situation, they can't win at all. The Dahua Army actually has frightening heavy cavalry. With this, they can
It's just hard to shake.
The possibility of winning is very small, and there is no point in winning, so why not leave as soon as possible?
If you run away early, you may still be able to escape, but if you run away too late, the chance will only be smaller.
When some generals gathered together and quarreled with each other about what to do next, news came that some generals had already escaped with their men, and what was even more terrible was that the cavalry of the Dahua Army already knew about this.
, and now launched another attack on them at night.
"Those bastards." I heard that someone had escaped early, and the generals who were left behind all looked dissatisfied. After looking at each other, they walked towards their respective cavalry teams one by one. Not long after,
They also joined the fleeing team.
When the cavalry of the Chinese Army arrived here, what they saw was the scene of the South Vietnamese cavalry fleeing in all directions. It is really unimaginable that they were so violent one by one during the day, causing them a lot of casualties, but now
He actually didn't even have the strength to block it.
Siluke
Kill you while you are sick. Since they have already been defeated, there is no reason not to catch up. At that moment, the cavalry of the Great Chinese Army began to chase the enemy everywhere. Taking advantage of the better eyesight of the cavalry of the Great Chinese Army after dark,
Many South Vietnamese cavalry were overtaken, killed, or captured.
More simply, there were also people who surrendered in groups. Perhaps they knew they could not escape and did not want to die, so they chose to surrender. It was better to live than to die.
In the end, of the 25,000 South Vietnamese cavalry, only less than 10,000 people escaped, except for those who surrendered and were captured who died in battle.
After running all night, they finally made it to daybreak, and after their sight returned to normal, the South Vietnamese cavalry, less than ten thousand people, breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they could survive. But before they could take a breath, there was no sleep at night.
There was news that another cavalry team of about 10,000 people from the Chinese Army had arrived opposite them?
"Why are there cavalry of the Chinese Army here? Is that our rear?" The captain of the 5,000 South Vietnamese Army who led the team couldn't understand. But he couldn't think about it anymore. Tang Ao coming from the opposite side was already a distance away from them.
Getting closer.
At this time, it can be said that they were pursued by troops behind and blocked in front. Even if they wanted to retreat, they had no way to go.
"Charge forward and fight a bloody path." The Captain of the Five Thousand Soldiers gritted his teeth and said bitterly.
We all have 10,000 troops, so there is no reason why they will definitely lose. Even if they get it right, they may still be able to fight their way out.
Normally, when everyone has the same strength, no one can overpower the other, but this time they are facing the Shanshan Guard led by Tang Ao himself, and there are nearly five hundred Han generals among them. The situation is of course difficult.
It's different.
If the Shaking Mountain Guard is compared to the blade of a sword, which can cut down all sharp objects, the five hundred Han generals are where the tip of the sword is, which can break through thousands of formations.
Facing the South Vietnamese cavalry, whose numbers were about the same but whose strength differed greatly, whether it was Tang Ao or the Han general, everyone was confident before the battle, and their morale was boosted, making them fearless.
.
Having confidence does not necessarily mean you will win, but without confidence you will definitely lose.
It's like two people fighting. One person is short and weak, but the other person is tall and powerful. Before the fight, the taller person already has more confidence. On the contrary, the taller person has more confidence.
The smaller one will be timid before fighting, and it will be very difficult to win.
The momentum was originally different, and Tang Ao took the lead as the emperor. The soldiers below were not willing to risk their lives. When they knew that their performance would be seen by the emperor, they wished they had the strength to use twelve points.
Come. So just after Tang Ao rushed out on the snow-treading jade white dragon, the Shanshan Guards behind him also rushed out. There was no need for the officers and soldiers to say any words of encouragement. They were like tigers coming out of the cage.
, showing the most vicious side of himself.
Naturally, the South Vietnamese cavalry did not know the situation of the Dahua Army. What they knew was that if they did not rush out, they would die. In order to survive, they had to risk their lives and face the Dahua Army head-on.
Rushed out.
This can be regarded as risking death and resurrecting. Naturally, it has a different momentum. But in many cases, momentum does not mean that it will win. In the end, it still depends on its true strength.
The speed of both sides was very fast. The distance was not too far in the first place, and they soon reached the point where they could shoot. At this time, everyone picked up their bows and arrows in unison and began to shoot on horseback, belonging to the cavalry.
The five hundred Han generals who rushed to the front were all armed with strong bows, and none of them were ordinary ones. Instead, they were specially processed long bows with horns. From the outside, there seemed to be no difference, but the attack
The force was even more intense. Relying on this advantage, when they were a hundred steps away, they fully drew their bows one by one, and then the arrows were shot out quickly as the two fingers of their right hands separated.
At this distance, only some fierce generals can shoot arrows to injure the enemy, and this is not guaranteed to hit the enemy 100 times, but it doesn't matter, put it on the bodies of the Han generals, they can form a coverage area, so as long as you are here
Within an area, it is difficult to escape even if you want to hide.
Don't forget that the generals of the Han Dynasty can not only kill the enemy in battle, but also have the responsibility of protecting Tang Ao's safety. If they encounter the Grandmaster, they will use bow and arrow arrays to fight the enemy from a distance, in order to play their role
, these big Han generals rarely train at ordinary times. The shoulders of each soldier are so strong and powerful. And when they were covered with a burst of arrows and shot towards each other, a wave of South Vietnamese rushed in front.
The cavalrymen responded and fell off their horses one by one.
At this time, the South Vietnamese cavalry had to wait for the distance to be closer before firing arrows. Unexpectedly, the bows of the Chinese cavalry could kill so far. If they didn't check for a while, they suffered a heavy loss.
The victory in the first battle greatly damaged the morale of the South Vietnamese cavalry, making some of them unable to help but feel fear. This also made them inevitably feel timid in the subsequent battles.
Archers and cavalry have also lost their former level.
And even if some bows and arrows could hit the Han generals, under the protection that they were armed to the teeth, it was difficult for those bows and arrows to really hit the Han generals, and they would not be able to cause any harm to them.
In this way, the victory of the cavalry shooting between the two sides was easily determined, and the South Vietnamese cavalry was completely defeated.
Bows and arrows are just horns before the attack. In addition to fighting with small groups of cavalry, you may be able to rely on the "kite flying" method to use bows and cavalry to defeat the enemy and gain a certain advantage. When it comes to the actual battle, it still depends on the close combat on horseback.
When the two sides rushed together, it was when the cavalry of the large army showed their true strength. The South Vietnamese cavalry was still very confident about this, because it was through these cavalry that South Vietnam became the real master of the South Vietnam region, even now
, the territory is still expanding.
The long-term victory made them boast that their riding skills were already very good. Even when faced with the Huns who had lived on horseback since childhood, Beidi and the Western Barbarians were not afraid of giving in. As for the Dahua cavalry army?
hehe.
Isn't the Dahua Army the predecessor of Daqian? They should only be able to farm land and create wealth. They seem to have very few horses. How could they have such a powerful cavalry team?
With a hint of contempt and pride, the South Vietnamese cavalry came one by one with eager eyes, holding what they thought were very sharp sabers, with ferocious looks on their faces, as if to attack the enemy before them.
All the cavalrymen of the Great Chinese Army were cut down and their horses were knocked down.
Compared with the self-confidence of the South Vietnamese cavalry, the best weapon used by the Han generals to meet them was the big sword in their hands. This length and power were far superior to the sabers they held in their hands.
The saber that came into contact with it was either knocked out of the hand, or was broken into two pieces, making the originally long saber look like a toy in a child's hand.
The advantage of weapons and equipment is also an advantage. Didn't the Western world use this advantage to bully us in the past? Now Tang Ao uses this advantage to deal with foreign races without any psychological burden at all.
Except for the big guns, the other bright silver spears used by the Shanshan Guards are not comparable to the sabers in the hands of the South Vietnamese cavalry with backward civilization and technology, no matter in terms of length, sharpness and hardness. The battle between the two sides is inch longer and stronger.
The advantages of weapons are revealed.
The heavier bright silver gun is most suitable for such a battle where there are equal numbers of people. Maybe you have enough troops. Under sieges again and again, you can let them vigorously consume their own physical strength due to the heavy weight of the weapon. But in such a short period of time
Shanwei had already trained countless times to fight internally, and his nutrition had always kept up with him. Naturally, there would be no difficulties in such a battle.
