A group of cavalry with black pennants circled out from behind Guihua City and charged out from the east. They did not attack the Beijing camp that had rushed to the bottom of the city. Instead, they circled the arc and rushed towards the flanks of the Beijing camp.
.
Yang Fan had already been thinking about the only arriving reinforcements, the Alxa Wanhu cavalry.
"Although the first five regiments of the Beijing camp are all equipped with captured war horses, they are at best mounted infantry and have no ability to fight enemy cavalry. This needs to be trained slowly. Let's go." Yang Fan said
.
Zhang Shize said: "I have been gearing up for a long time. The 1,500 cavalry I brought are all my family's most elite servants. They were all selected by my grandfather from the retired cavalry from the border army."
Jiang Bingzhong said: "Commander, I have only five hundred servants. However, we are not afraid of death and dare to fight tooth and nail. Please allow us to take the lead and fight a bloody path for the army and open a breakthrough."
Yang Fan did not expect that Jiang Bingzhong was usually a taciturn person. He always obeyed orders and did not take the initiative to give opinions to those who offered opinions. He seemed to come with a learning attitude. He carefully observed Yang Fan's means and methods of leading troops and learned everything.
detail.
At the most critical time of this battle, Jiang Bingzhong had the smallest number of servants, and his combat effectiveness should not be as good as Zhang Shize's. After all, where is the strength of the British Duke's Palace? The Dingxi Marquis' Palace is incomparable. Although the Jiang family is awesome, it is still worse than the Duke.

Zhang Shize said: "My troops have no chance to train along the way. Since Chiang Kai-shek wants to take the lead, I will take the sons of the British government and follow closely behind. Fan Zi, how about you hold the battle for us."
Yang Fan shook his head and smiled bitterly. As long as he is a disciple of Wu Xun, there are a few who do not have the dream of being a hero on the battlefield. He has taken good care of them along the way. If they have no merit at all, it will be difficult for them to explain when they return. However,
Now we are not just following behind to take credit, this is a powerful enemy and we really need to fight hard.
Yang Fan thought for a while and agreed. But he added: "You can lead the charge, but you must wear plate armor."
Zhang Shize and Jiang Bingzhong readily agreed.
Soon, the steel plates of the city wall were opened again, and a large number of cavalry filed out of the city. Six thousand cavalry formed three groups in succession.
The first cluster is a triangular array of five hundred people.
The second group is composed of 1,500 people and three horizontal lines of 500-man phalanx.
The third group is the four thousand cavalry led by Yang Fan. They form five rows of horseback riding, each row contains 800 people.
Both Zhang Shize and Jiang Bingzhong have seen a group of servants in training formed to sit on the fence. But they couldn't learn it. This requires strict discipline and brutal training. Otherwise, they can't form it at all.
There are five rows of people riding on the wall, with each row being thirty meters apart. When there is a real fight, the distance between the people riding on the wall will be wider. Each group of ten people in the horizontal team will form an independent team, and the distance between the two teams will be about ten meters. The second row behind
The fences are arranged facing the gap in the front row, and each team is also spaced ten meters apart horizontally.
This formation leaves space for the enemy to rush past and unleash multi-layered wall-mounted firepower. Otherwise, a direct collision would lead to a massive brawl.
Wuyalhuntaiji rode on a white horse decorated with gold harness, waved his whip and shouted loudly: "Warriors of Alxa, rush over with me and defeat these Ming cavalry. Let them see
, who is the master of the grassland?"
"Hula, hoola"
There were cheers one after another, and the Alxa people's cavalry swept forward like a raging wave.
Behind Jiang Bingzhong, five family generals, Jiang Cunren, Jiang Cunyi, Jiang Cunli, Jiang Cunzhi, and Jiang Cunxin followed closely behind. They all originally carried their own armor, all of which were fish scale armor.
However, when they came to Jingying, they found that the plate armor provided by Yang Fan was several levels better. So they all changed to plate armor one after another.
At this time, Jiang Bingzhong was holding a three-pointed two-edged sword, at least charging forward. Yang Fan was scratching his teeth as he looked at it. Isn't this the weapon of Erlang Shen in Journey to the West? I didn't expect it to actually exist in reality.
What Yang Fan didn't know was that there was indeed such a weapon in history. It appeared in the Ming Dynasty of my country. It is said to have evolved from the "湣(音典) Sword" of the Song Dynasty. There are two obvious differences in its shape. There is a clear inheritance relationship between planting knives.
The three-pointed two-edged sword is a kind of Qimen weapon. It is relatively rare. Yang Fan opened his eyes this time.
Careful observation revealed that it has a special shape and is divided into two parts: the blade and the handle.
The blade is unique, with edges on both sides. And it has three very sharp tips at the top.
The length of the blade is about 30 to 40 centimeters. This strange weapon is actually more suitable to be called a knife than a sword. Because those with two edges are generally called swords.
However, in the Ming Dynasty, the three-pointed and two-edged sword was classified as a knife. Its handle was very long, reaching about two meters, and was usually made of wood.
In terms of use, it can be picked, shoveled, or stabbed in battle. It is similar to the halberd and has rich uses. However, this thing is much heavier than the Fangtian Halberd and the Green Dragon Halberd. After all, the halberd in space and time is just a gun plus
Two, or one crescent.
The three-pointed two-edged knife is a solid piece of iron. It is more than thirty centimeters long and more than ten centimeters wide. It weighs not much lighter than an axe. It cannot be used without strength.
Yang Fan looked at his five generals. They were all holding the same weapons. It seemed that these weapons were passed down from the old Jiang family.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Bingzhong's Jiang Jiajun collided head-on with Alxa's vanguard.
Jiang Bingzhong suddenly lifted the three-pointed two-edged sword that was tilted forward, turned in a circle, and pinched the war horse. The war horse immediately accelerated and rushed towards the Alxa people at high speed.
At this time, the first echelon of the Alxa people was also composed of warriors. Those who could be in the vanguard position in the cavalry confrontation were all warriors.
Turigen and Wugenqi are two centurions, they are both warriors. One of them holds an iron whip and the other holds a mace. Let's start all over again.
Jiang Bingzhong had often heard Yang Fan talk about the bravery of the Desert Mongols, and he had long wanted to compete with them. At this time, he rounded up a three-pointed two-edged sword and waved it towards them.
Turigen controlled the horse with one hand and picked up the iron whip with the other. He bent forward to block the three-pointed two-edged sword that crashed down. He had never seen such a weapon, but it looked very heavy. He also concentrated on it first and used all his strength.
Infuse into the right arm.
With a whoosh, the three-pointed two-edged sword was lowered by one foot and passed under his bent body. Unexpectedly, Jiang Bingzhong's move was a false move. Even if it passed from below, there was no need to worry about the iron whip hitting him.
.Because the iron whip is only one meter long, while the three-pointed two-edged sword plus the spear at the tail is a full two and a half meters long.
Tu Rigen's block failed, but after the three-pointed two-edged sword passed by, he slashed horizontally at the unprepared Wu Genqi's waist on his right side. The heavy blade directly cut Wu Genqi's waist into two pieces.
