Chapter 1173 Who is the enemy in the mighty world?
The duel between light cavalry and light cavalry is extremely complicated and dangerous.
It is impossible for both sides to lead their cavalry in a daze and charge head-on into the other side.
War horses are precious, and so are cavalry, which cannot be lost.
Moreover, such a collision would not bring any advantages.
Therefore, from the beginning of the battle, both sides kept going back and forth in circles on the vast plain.
Both sides were divided into countless small teams, going back and forth to find each other's weaknesses. They quickly gathered at a certain place to form a situation where more people were attacking less people.
In such a battle, bows and arrows are the most important weapons.
When it comes to cavalry and shooting, the Eight Banners cavalry is not afraid of any enemy in the world.
They believed that just a few rounds of fighting would be enough to completely collapse the Han cavalry in front of them.
The two sides were thirty or forty steps apart, and their breathing could be heard. The bows and arrows of the Eight Banners cavalry were extremely accurate.
Almost every arrow hit the Xia army's cavalry.
But the results were mediocre.
It's not that the Xia army's cavalry have mastered the magical power of indestructibility, but that they are covered in armor and well-protected. As long as they are not hit in vital parts, there is almost no impact.
The armors of the Xia Army cavalry were professionally and scientifically designed, and were different from most armors of this era.
Many key parts are made of integrally stamped metal armor, which perfectly fits the body shape.
Even though this metal armor is very thin, its hardness is not comparable to other armors.
The Xia army's cavalry was also fighting back.
Although their archery speed is not as good as that of the Eight Banners Cavalry, and their accuracy is also slightly worse, the killing effect they create is better.
Even though the Eight Banners cavalry were wearing three layers of armor, they were still vulnerable to the steel arrows of the Xia Army cavalry.
What was even more unacceptable to the Eight Banners cavalry was that although they had the upper hand in the initial exchange of bows and arrows, the Xia army actually had the tendency to overtake them.
The reason also lies in the production of bows and arrows.
Although the Eight Banners Cavalry's bows and arrows use the best wood, the best strings, the best arrow shafts, and the best arrows, the people who use them are also the top archers of this era.
But Xia Jun's bows and arrows had many scientific devices.
These devices can greatly save the shooter's physical strength.
Although in the initial exchange of fire, the Xia army's cavalry was not as skilled as the Eight Banners cavalry in terms of speed. However, as the battle continued, the difference in physical fitness between the two sides became apparent.
If the Eight Banners cavalry suffered a disadvantage in the comparison of bows and arrows, then the most unacceptable thing for them was that the Xia army's cavalry was actually superior in technical and tactical qualities.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo Reading recently to catch up on books, change sources, and read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]
Although the Eight Banners cavalry are all born warriors on horseback and have an innate talent for riding and shooting, this talent has even more obvious advantages in small-scale combat.
In large-scale cluster operations, organization and discipline are the key factors that determine the quality of the army.
When it comes to organization and discipline, Xia Jun is said to be second in the world, and no one dares to call him first.
The two sides went back and forth on the battlefield, constantly changing their formations, trying to find each other's loopholes. However, after several rounds of dealings, Xia Jun's formation not only was not torn to pieces, but also gradually advanced and attacked through separate attacks.
The Qing army was unable to keep up with its intensity...
The last point was what frightened the Qing army the most.
Although the horses under the Eight Banners cavalry are carefully selected and of high quality, compared with the Xia army's cavalry, they are a head shorter than the cavalry of the Xia army, visible to the naked eye, and their legs are also shorter.
As a result, the speed of the Eight Banners Cavalry will be much slower while running.
In a light cavalry duel, if you run slower than your opponent, you are seeking your own death.
Some of the horses of the Eight Banners cavalry came from the original Liaodong horse farm of the Ming Dynasty and were bred by themselves.
Some of them came as tribute from the Mongolian grasslands.
But no matter which type, comprehensively speaking, they all belong to the Mongolian horse breed.
This kind of war horse is not tall and not very fast. The only advantage is that it has great endurance.
At that time, the Mongolian cavalry swept across the Eurasian continent.
You can easily conquer thousands of miles away because of this kind of horse.
But the horses of the Xia Army cavalry have already been replaced.
Today's war horses basically come from Jeju Island Racecourse.
These products, which are blended from the best horse breeds in the world, combine a variety of advantages and are far beyond what Mongolian horse breeds can compare with.
Seeing that his side was becoming more and more passive, the Qing general who was the first to rush into the battlefield became furious and became more willing to fight.
"Tell Sony to cover my flanks, I'm going to smash these southern barbarians."
This man is truly ferocious.
He put away his bow and arrows and took out a heavy mace from his back. He gave the horse a light blow on the butt and the man fled out.
In his eyes, he could only see Commander Xia Jun Qi, who was running rapidly in front of him.
Under that flag, a tall but thin Xia army general was shooting with arrows.
Every arrow accurately hit the vital point of the Qing cavalry.
The Qing generals had never seen anyone who could shoot arrows so accurately.
When you see that this person is surrounded by many guards, it is obvious that he has a high status.
If you kill this general, you will be able to turn the tide and win a great victory.
He chose to charge, and the soldiers had no choice but to follow up bravely.
According to the military law of the Qing army, if the general fell and his own soldiers were still alive, they would be tortured and executed.
"Teacher, look!"
Wang Siyi is flying freely, killing enemies happily.
In recent years, the Xia army has been fighting in rugged mountains and hills or on the vast sea, leaving little room for cavalry.
One can imagine Wang Siyi's mood as he watched others fight fiercely and make many military exploits, while he could only stay in the rear.
This time, she was finally able to face off against the enemy on the battlefield, making her feel like a tiger that had let out joy.
Hearing the guard's reminder, Wang Siyi turned her head and looked.
When I saw a Qing army general rushing towards him recklessly and waving his mace up and down, none of the Xia army cavalry were his enemies, and they were all smashed to death on the spot.
"Well done!"
Wang Siyi had long been tired of shooting arrows. When he saw someone wanting to fight with him personally, he was immediately excited.
She casually put the strong bow back into place, took out two axes, and went forward.
The dark cloud covering the snow under her crotch is a good horse in the world. When running at full speed, it is like a black lightning floating on the snow.
The generals of the Qing army were overjoyed when they saw that the enemy not only did not run away, but actually took the initiative to greet them.
His bravery was unrivaled among the Qing troops, and countless Ming generals died under him.
Now the tall and thin man opposite has come to die, which is exactly what he wants.
Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, the general of the Qing army roared loudly, like a tiger roaring in the forest. At the same time, he raised his mace high and swung it hard with the power of his forward charge.
This mace is made of fine iron and weighs two hundred kilograms.
One effort can bring down ten levels.
In the face of such absolute power, no moves can be solved.
The general on the opposite side showed no fear at all.
But when he suddenly put the two axes in his hands back and forth, they turned into a long axe.
The opponent's posture was the same as his, and there were no tricks, just taking turns to hit him with the axe.
For a moment, the battlefield suddenly became quiet.
Whether it was the Qing army or the Xia army, they all stared with wide eyes, watching the showdown between the two generals.
