Chapter 633 Shaking the Mountain Guard Shows His Prestige (Part 1)
General Pan Guang led the two thousand cavalry to do exactly this. His face was full of confidence. With the cavalry against the infantry, and the number was still 2:1, he really couldn't see the opponent having the slightest victory.
possibility.
And this confidence quickly changed when a trembling sound suddenly came from under my feet.
"What's going on? What's the noise? Is it the cavalry?" As a cavalry general, Pan Guang is very familiar with this kind of sound. In the past, when he appeared with his cavalry, there would be such noises. Because of this
, he was very curious as to where there would be other cavalry nearby making such a noise.
Without letting Pan Guang wait any longer, a cavalry team in black clothes and black armor appeared to the north of them. Along with them, a brightly colored three-clawed black dragon flag showed their identity to the world.
"Damn it, how could there be Jizhou Army cavalry here?" As soon as he saw the unique flag, Pan Guang knew who it was, and because of this, his face showed surprise. Scale Mountain
This place, not to mention the center of Liaozhou, can also be regarded as the hinterland of Liaozhou. So why did the Jizhou Army cavalry suddenly appear here? Why were there no reports on the cities and barracks along the way?
Complete surprise flashed in his eyes, but his long career as a military leader did not make Pan Guang show a fearful expression, not for anything else, but because he had already seen clearly that the number of the opponent's cavalry did not seem to be very large, only about a thousand cavalry.
.
Although it is unexpected that the Jizhou Army cavalry will appear here. But if there are only a thousand cavalry, there is really nothing to fear. The number of cavalry brought by Pan Guang this time is only two thousand, so add five thousand
As for the infantry, they still have a good chance of winning.
"All cavalry, turn around and charge forward." The initial surprise was replaced by confidence now. Pan Guang had decided to eat the Jizhou Army cavalry that appeared first. As for the two marquis' teams, they had arrived.
Liaozhou, how can you just leave if you want?
On the official road, An Zhiwu also saw the appearance of a thousand Jizhou heavy cavalry. After showing the same surprised expression on his face, he quickly ordered his infantry to set up a defensive formation.
Neither An Zhiwu nor the 5,000 infantrymen under him showed any signs of nervousness at this moment. Perhaps it was because they had the advantage in strength, or perhaps because this was the land of Liaozhou, their home field, and
Perhaps they had seen their own cavalry rushing back quickly, which enhanced their confidence.
But such confidence quickly disappeared from their faces, and not far away another cavalry of a thousand people appeared in their sights.
"What else?" After seeing this, An Zhiwu finally showed a solemn look on his face. Although there were only two thousand enemy cavalry, he still would not take him seriously. This time, there were two thousand of his own cavalry accompanying them.
Isn't it? But before he was sure whether the opponent had new cavalry, he no longer dared to be careless.
The new cavalry that appeared was the first cavalry battalion led by Zhou Jinwen. Except for a platoon of forty people who were left to look after the supplies of the rest of the horses, this time all the nine hundred and sixty cavalrymen from their first battalion came.
As soon as the cavalry battalion appeared, they set their sights on the two thousand cavalrymen from Liaozhou who were driving back.
Although both sides were twice as numerous as themselves, neither Zhou Jinwen nor the cavalry soldiers under his command could see any trace of nervousness on their faces. On the contrary, there was only full fighting spirit.
"I hope you are tough enough and don't become soft-footed shrimps." Zhou Jinwen, the commander of the first battalion, actually encouraged the opponent before the battle, then gave a loud drink, and started to accelerate with his 960 heavy cavalry, heading towards the four directions ahead.
The Liaozhou cavalry that was gathering outside rushed over.
The previous formation was a skirmishing formation. General Pan Guang, who had not yet fully assembled, saw a flash of anger in his eyes after seeing the opponent's cavalry take the lead in attacking. They were outnumbered, but they dared to charge first.
, does this mean you don’t take your two thousand cavalry seriously?
Even if this is the case, then use the facts to teach the opponent a lesson and let these Jizhou cavalry know how powerful their Liaozhou cavalry is.
"Brothers, come together and kill them all." Pan Guang held a tall sword high and gave a mighty shout before leading the assembled Liaozhou cavalry to charge. For a moment, two sharp arrows shot out.
The galloping cavalry troop came towards them, causing the trembling sound from the earth to become even more intense.
"Is this Aoer's cavalry?" Zhongcheng Hou Shen Yunyi saw everything that happened before his eyes and asked with a sigh.
"Yes, Lord Marquis, this is the young master's heavy cavalry team." Captain Tie Long of the Dragon Ya Battalion naturally recognized the person from the equipment, so he told the truth.
"Heavy Cavalry?" When he heard this title, not only Shen Yunyi, but also Yong Yonghou Qin Mushan showed a surprised expression on his face.
It is not that heavy cavalry has not appeared in history, but those who can deserve this title are all the most elite existences, and they also symbolize the most powerful existence. However, because the conditions required to form heavy cavalry are too harsh,
And the requirements for all aspects are very strict, so that now the entire Daqian Land, even those friendly countries, do not have a real heavy cavalry team.
Considering the needs of heavy cavalry in various aspects, they are usually only used for home defense. Things like expeditions seem to have nothing to do with them. But now, this army has appeared in Liaozhou thousands of miles away. This is really
It's hard to believe.
After hearing the questions from the two marquises, Tielong did not explain too much. He believed that facts speak louder than words.
On the battlefield, the cavalry from both sides launched an attack. With the horses soaring, the distance between the two sides was also rapidly closing.
From a distance, the smaller Shanshan Guards Battalion showed no intention of retreating because their opponent was outnumbered. On the contrary, during the attack, their speed was average and their formation was not chaotic.
, while walking, several arrow formations began to form unconsciously.
Don't underestimate the formation of the cavalry attack. After all, war horses are not humans. It is difficult for them to take a step of 75 centimeters and 116 steps per minute like a human being. In many cases, war horses are more casual.
If you want them to maintain a constant speed, you need constant training. Just like the cavalry of the Shanshan Guard, their horses have undergone rigorous training, so that they can maintain such a rushing and undisturbed formation.
shape.
The arrow formation is just the most basic requirement. Next, at a constant speed, each cavalryman took out the long bow with horns on his back, and each aimed at the target and drew the bow with arrows.
According to the requirements of the heavy cavalry training outline, longbow long-distance attack is the first wave of attacks, aiming to inflict heavy damage on the enemy before engaging the enemy. While getting a good start, it can also establish a victory advantage in advance.
"Prepare bows and arrows." The Liaozhou cavalry also took out the bows and arrows they carried on their backs while running. In comparison, what they held in their hands was only longbows, and their attack range was limited and their power was also limited.
"put!"
Just when the Liaozhou cavalry had just matched their bows and arrows, and were still aiming at the targets ahead, the bows and arrows of the Shanshan Guard heavy cavalry had already been shot out first. The bows and arrows passed through the air, and there were bursts of harsh sounds.
Voices.
"Haha." Facing the bow and arrow attack of the Jizhou cavalry, General Pan Guang was not nervous when he saw this scene. On the contrary, he laughed out loud. He made a visual inspection and found that the distance between the two sides was at least 150 steps. This
At such a distance, he didn't believe that the opponent's bow and arrow could hit him. Even if he could get in front of him with the force of the horse's impact, he probably wouldn't be able to do any harm.
"Don't be anxious, wait until the distance is closer...ah! This is impossible!" Pan Guang said confidently for a moment, but then his expression changed drastically. Within his sight, the person who was rushing at the front was already there.
The cavalrymen were like dumplings dropped into a pot, falling off their horses to the ground one by one.
With a look of disbelief, Pan Guang even observed carefully.
I found that many of the fallen cavalrymen still had arrows in their chests. They were all protected by armor. How could that be possible?
Believe it or not, it really happened. It happened in front of Pan Guang. To his surprise, he didn't even have time to let his cavalry fire arrows. The second wave of arrows from the heavy cavalry of the Shanshan Guards
The arrow attack came again.
At a closer distance, nearly a hundred people were killed again. In addition to the previous injuries, the two sides had already lost nearly 10% of their troops before formal contact. This result was really unacceptable.
"Shoot the arrows, shoot the arrows quickly." Pan Guang, who finally woke up, kept shouting loudly, and finally shot out the bows and arrows one after another, falling towards the heavy cavalry of the Shanshan Guard. He didn't even have time to see the result of the battle, Liaozhou
The cavalry put away their bows and arrows, took out their scimitars, and got ready for close combat.
Amidst a crackling sound, the bows and arrows fell on the heavy cavalry of the Shanshan Guard, but in the end they all had the same result. They were blocked by the chain armor and fell to the ground without causing any effective damage. It was just bad luck.
Well, the shooting in the eyes, nose and mouth did not happen. In other words, in the first round of confrontation, the Liaozhou cavalry was completely defeated!
At this time, the distance between the two sides is also very close, and there is no room for people to release bows and arrows. At this time, the Shanshan Guard heavy cavalry rushing towards them will show their stronger side, and then the heavy cavalry and the ordinary
A moment of significant distinction for the cavalry.
The ox-horn bow was placed on the side of the war horse and hung up, and a ten-foot-long bright silver gun was held in his hand, glowing with cold light. Even though the sun was shining directly above his head, looking from a distance, it still gave people a feeling of scalp hair.
