Gu Qing saw a large group of infantry swarming in front of him. These people were wearing leather robes, some had leather armor, and less than one tenth of them had iron armor. They held up spears about two and a half meters long.
They are rushing towards this direction from a large group of Khalkhas.
Gu Qing did not take care of them first. After all, it only took ten minutes to walk from the army's main formation. Their horses were fast and they were among the large archers' array in a blink of an eye.
They all raised their sabers and slashed at the panicked Khalkha archers who were about to throw away their Mongolian bows and drew their sabers.
Their sabers are all modern products, imitations of the Type 65 saber.
After all, only a batch of Type 65s were produced, and now they are all collectibles.
That good sword came out at the wrong time, just in time for the ban on cavalry. At that time, only some cavalry companies were retained as a symbol to show that the cavalry service still existed, and the others were abolished.
It can only be copied from modern times. But there are many manufacturers willing to take on this job.
If there is money to be made, who wouldn’t want to make it?
The steel mouth used by Yang Fan is better. It is the purest steel for tank barrels, and it is also the perfect combination of the highest toughness and strength.
Their horses were so fast that they rushed into the group of big archers almost instantly.
Having rushed in, they dispersed the big archers. The moment the big archers saw the cavalry, they voluntarily gave up their formation and ran away. Because they were dismounted cavalry and knew their current situation.
The infantry must form an array of spears to resist the cavalry. In addition to large bows, they now have waist knives. They had nowhere to find spears, so they immediately turned around and fled in all directions.
When the officers and soldiers of the cavalry division saw these guys taking to the road like this, they pursued them relentlessly and immediately started killing them from left to right.
In fact, the movements that cavalry can make on horseback are much smaller than those of infantry. In order not to fall off, the range of movements is very small, and they cannot face the enemy sideways to reduce their body area like infantry, nor can they make fake movements to confuse the enemy.
The cavalry is very fast, and the best opportunity to kill is fleeting. What you need to fight for is bravery and decisiveness. If you see it correctly, you must make up your mind and cut it down resolutely. Otherwise, if you hesitate for a moment, you will miss the time window.
Gu Qing is an old servant. He has systematically studied the master's cavalry drills. He is so proficient that he can react with muscle memory with his eyes closed.
He faced the direction of the horse's head, with his nose and eyes as the center point, bent his body appropriately, raised his saber with his right hand, and slashed at the unlucky guy on the right.
At the moment of life and death, the Khalkha man raised his expensive bow regardless. He tried to use the bow arm of the big bow to block the saber.
If he didn't block it, the saber immediately struck him on the neck.
But he underestimated the power of Gu Qing's saber. This alloy steel saber, which is made of the best metal materials, can completely cut off the tendons and corners of a composite bow with a click.
As the saying goes, you can kill an ox by overturning your bow. After the bow is strung, it is always in a high-intensity tension state and has a large accumulated force.
The moment the bow arm broke, it hit him hard on the cheek.
Suddenly all the teeth were knocked out and blood spurted out of the mouth.
Then the saber arrived and cut the carotid artery directly from the side, causing blood to spurt more than one meter high.
The big archer didn't even let out a scream, he flipped over and fell to the ground motionless.
Seeing the leader of the group kill one of them with his saber, the people behind him immediately screamed and started slashing.
Their horses were good, but they charged so fast that these archers had no time to draw the sabers hanging from their waists. They could only expose their backs and try their best to escape.
In fact, even if it is extracted, it will be of no use.
Under such a rapid impact, coupled with the well-trained rapid chopping, their broken scimitars had no other result except being chopped off.
They are now unable to outrun four horse legs, nor can they withstand the chop of a saber.
Hetulza is a sixteen-year-old boy from Ordos. Before he joined the cavalry division, he was selected as a cavalryman by his former pastor less than three months ago.
Then the Ordos tribe was defeated and he surrendered to Yang Fan.
Now, after a year of study, he has systematically learned the contents of the cavalry drill.
As the regimental guard, he followed closely behind him, only half a horse behind.
It wasn't until he entered the Qinghai Cavalry Division that he knew what the scientific combat equestrian and chopping fighting techniques were and what their principles were.
It turns out that what he knew before were all wild tricks. The Yang family cavalry is the one who really knows the tricks of cavalry to kill people.
For the first time, he learned that the real attack range of a person riding on horseback was very small.
At least it can't be attacked from behind at 180 degrees.
Unless you twist your waist and cut back. Such opportunities are too rare on the battlefield.
Because there is a horse head in the front, there are blind spots of more than 30 degrees to the left and right of the center line.
What can really be used to chop left and right is the fan-shaped area of more than 50 degrees on the left and right. Most people are right-handed, and there are very few left-handers. So the really flexible and useful chopping area is the right part.
Grabbing the knife with your right hand and slashing to the left, the distance, range, and even strength will be greatly reduced. You even need to turn around, twist your waist, and other actions to coordinate.
He clearly knew that the envelope line he could cut was actually a herringbone route when viewed from the front.
He slashed at another big archer who turned around and ran away without hesitation, directly splitting his head in half.
The sharp saber chops the skull, the hardest bone in the human body, without curling the blade, and it doesn't even touch the blood. The blood drops slide down the blade with a flick. The blade is so bright that it dazzles in the sun so much that the opponent can't open his eyes.
Open your eyes.
The opportunity for cavalry to hedge will be missed in the blink of an eye.
So you only have one chance.
Either you will hack your opponent to death, or you will be hacked to death by your opponent.
There is no trick in choosing one of the two.
And you can only increase your success rate by cutting down the opponent on your right.
If you are out of your mind and use your right hand to hold a knife to kill the opponent flying by on your left, you are simply seeking death.
Because your right arm is blocked by your body, its length is reduced by at least half. The fan-shaped range of your chopping is also reduced by nearly half. It has the largest chopping range.
He now loves this handy saber more and more. The curved guard on the handle can prevent the opponent from sliding down the blade diagonally and cutting off his wrist. It can even be used when the sword is missed and the two sides pass each other.
A blunt blow to the opponent's face.
Type 65 is a slightly curved saber. There are three types of sabers. Straight sabers (Tang Dao, Hanhuan Shoudao, Tibetan Dao, etc.), scimitar (Mongolian scimitar, Western Region scimitar), slightly curved sabers (Yan Ling Dao, Qing Dao, etc.)
, embroidered spring knife, etc.).
Straight-knife stabbing is advantageous because of its long length. It also works on the same principle as a spear, so it can use strong force and can penetrate armor directly.
The scimitar is short in length, but when cutting, the center of gravity is behind the arc of the knife, which is equivalent to the shaft of a bow and arrow. It stabilizes the direction and facilitates precise cutting.
At the same time, the dragging and scratching effect is better. It is suitable for dealing with unarmored targets.
Most of the Mongols are herdsmen who recruit soldiers and do not wear armor. Therefore, they all use scimitars.
The scimitar used by the Han people in the late Ming Dynasty was a compromise between the two styles of knives as they developed into the Ming Dynasty. The straight sword is effective, but difficult to train and difficult to control the cutting direction. The scimitar can appropriately reduce the difficulty of training.
.Also retains some armor-breaking capabilities.
The cavalry behind them immediately bloomed in the center and poured into the array of large archers from all sides.
There were charging cavalry and big archers being knocked away everywhere.
Outside Xining City, under the strong sunshine on the plateau, with swords shining brightly and blood splattering, there were big archers who were hacked and killed and scurrying around with their heads in their hands.
By the time Chotu Khan's infantry spearmen came up, all the big archers had been killed.
Gu Qing glanced at the eager spearmen and shouted loudly: "Go back and go around the city wall to kill those who climbed the city."
