But immediately, the traitor knew how wrong he was.
When the two formations were about twenty steps apart, Li Feng yelled: "Throw!"
More than thirty riders stood up together, raised their bodies slightly, then raised one arm and threw forward hard.
The two sides were already extremely close, and coupled with the rapid speed of the horses, when the javelin was released, the distance between the two formations was still ten steps at most.
All of them are strong and experienced soldiers. Coupled with the blessing of inertia, the javelin thrown is not much slower than the arrow. In addition, the spear itself is heavy and has stronger piercing power.
There was only a strange sound of "swish, swish, swish", and then there was a scream of crying for father and mother.
The thieves didn't understand any formations at all. They only knew how to rush forward in a swarm. The formation was extremely dense. More than thirty javelins hit at least twenty-seven or eight. The poles penetrated the thieves' bodies and pierced the front of the thieves.
Chest, lower abdomen, and some even penetrate the back.
There were also a few people who were strung together with their horses.
Many bandit soldiers were stabbed and fell off their horses. They covered their wounds and howled loudly, vomiting blood. But before they screamed twice, they were stung by bees and trampled to silence by the rear riders.
The ones in front were holding their horses hard, trying to move back, while the ones behind were still pushing forward hard based on their inertia. With just one shot, more than a hundred miscellaneous horses became a mess.
Following Li Feng's cold shout of "Kill the enemy", more than thirty riders all drew out their sabers.
The distance of ten steps was approaching in an instant. Li Feng controlled the reins with one hand, and with a slight movement, the horse turned slightly, and the horse passed by the first soldier's clothes.
As the sword in Li Feng's right hand gently swung sideways, a head rose into the sky, and then a stream of blood arrows spurted out, turning into a rain of blood, and fell on the faces of the cavalry behind him.
The pungent smell of blood completely aroused the murderous nature of Li's old soldiers. More than thirty riders bent down on their horses, raised their swords with one arm, and slashed the necks of the flanking thieves.
The two formations intertwined, and more than a dozen heads were like balls thrown into the sky, rising to the top and falling again.
Those thieves whose heads were not cut off, or whose blades only cut into the chest and abdomen, could only scream loudly and throw away their weapons in panic to cover their wounds.
But where can I cover it?
The tighter you cover your hands, the further the blood spurts out, and the sky is filled with blood mist...
Before the blood mist had dissipated, Li Feng and more than thirty cavalrymen circled in front of the enemy formation and returned to the car formation a hundred meters away.
At this time, the white riders are once again riding in the west, and the miscellaneous riders are in the east... This is obviously because they want to do it again.
Jiang Rang looked as if he was stunned, staring blankly at the battle situation below the city.
Although he is a county captain, he has also led troops. Although he has never fought in a big battle, he has at least led the troops to guard the border and seen Qiang and Hu horse thieves.
But even those barbarians who grew up riding horses do not have such terrifying combat power?
In Jiang Rang's eyes, Li's cavalry seemed to be just wandering around from west to east and then west, without even slowing down their horses. They just fired a round of spears and waved a round of sabers.
, most of them have been killed.
Especially the scene where the white knights rush towards the enemy formation, collectively draw swords, slash and kill, and then turn around... It's like two people passing by each other. The moment they missed each other, one of them's head flew up.
Zhang Xingyi is worse than Jiang Rang.
The body seemed to be electrocuted, trembling all over, and the whole person was shaking. The heart was like a drum, and the blood seemed to be on fire, boiling and hot.
In addition to excitement, there is also fear...
This was the first time in his life that he saw such a shocking scene: in front of Li's fine cavalry, the thieves were worse than a group of pigs and sheep.
Even if he is a pig, at least he knows how to run...
As for resistance?
Hehehe...
It’s not that there were no thieves who made desperate efforts and fought hard.
But when the spear in his hand pierced Li's cavalry, it bounced back immediately as if it was scratching an itch.
No matter how stupid Zhang Xingyi is, he knows that what is wrapped under the white linen is definitely steel armor...
These thirty knights are all armored knights?
But why use a knife?
If a lance is used, the thieves will not even be able to reach a single horse hair, let alone stab...
Zhang Xingyi took two hard breaths and tried not to let his voice tremble, but when the sound came out, even he was startled.
It's like tearing a towel and tearing cloth, it's scratchy and dumb.
"Why don't they... use guns?"
Jiang Rang knew as soon as he heard this that this soldier was just a rookie, not even as good as him. He didn't even know the art of war, let alone see battles.
But where does he have time to read Zhang Xingyi’s jokes?
Jiang Rang took a deep breath and explained patiently: "If you use a gun, you have to face the charge directly. Once trapped, the cavalry will completely lose its advantages... With more than thirty of them, even if they are all Lu Fengxian,
, it is impossible to be the opponent of these hundreds of thieves... The best way is of course to act like you are doing, non-stop, and chop his flanks with a knife, as many as you can..."
Zhang Xingyi's face felt a little burning.
I was so stupid to ask this question. I clearly wanted Li's elite cavalry to use their own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong points...
He seemed a little unconvinced, but also seemed to be asking for advice: "If we are evenly matched, can we, like Xianbei and Rouran, use iron cavalry to collide with iron cavalry?"
Cavalry collide with each other?
Jiang Rang always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it.
Because Zhang Xingyi was right, the Xianbei and Rouran people seemed to fight like this...
If Li Chengzhi were here, he would definitely reply: His brain is sick!
In the era of cold weapons, the role of the cavalry is indeed somewhat like that of tanks during World War II.
But I have never heard of a tank hitting a tank?
The most typical negative example is the Iron Buddha Temple of the Jin Dynasty.
It sounds like he is invincible and invincible, but who knows the pain in Jin Wushu's heart...
The Song soldiers were not afraid of death to such an extent. How dare they face the collision of heavy cavalry with both men and horses as infantry?
Calculating how many battles he fought with Yue Fei, three thousand iron pagodas and 20,000 kidnapping horses were all destroyed?
It’s a real loss to my grandma’s family...
Even though the Jin Dynasty occupied half of the country's national power, it never organized a similar cavalry again.
The cavalry is not used like this at all, even if it is armed like a tank.
The most correct usage should be like the Mongolian cavalry: they never collide head-on, but while maintaining mobility, they can roam, harass, lob, attack the flanks, use the weak to make the real, use the real to make the weak, and finally give a fatal blow.
Hit...
Therefore, Li Chengzhi believed from beginning to end that it was purely out of his mind to confront heavy cavalry or heavy infantry with a unit like heavy cavalry that was almost made of gold.
Unless it is absolutely necessary...
……
The cavalry returned to the chariot formation again. The chariot commander held the bow and quiver and handed it to Li Feng: "Change the bow?"
A brigade only has a hundred bows, so it can only be used by chariots and cavalry in rotation.
Originally, it was given to the chariot soldiers first to push back the random soldiers who escaped from the cavalry formation. After the chariot formation was set up, it was then switched to the cavalry to lob.
Who knew that the thief was so courageous, that he could watch Li's chariots and troops forming a formation without any reaction at all?
Calculating the distance, the car array has been set up long ago, but the thief is still a hundred meters away?
