Chapter 389 The Southern Expedition and the Northern War 54 North Korea Liaodong Ten
The Chinese Army's 600 heavy armored cavalry, whether they are horses or knights, are black armored. This is the heavy armored cavalry in the Han and Tang dynasties. After the Tiefutu of the Jin Dynasty, the heavy armored cavalry once again galloped on the land of China. Although the heavy armored cavalry in the age of firearms was no longer meaningful, now In East Asia, except for the Chinese army, which is a firearm unit, no unit can be called a firearm unit. Therefore, the heavy cavalry is also a combat force that perfectly combines protection and impact.
The black team of the Chinese cavalry brigade suppressed the speed and advanced slowly and resolutely like a wall. The two armies were five hundred steps apart. The heavy cavalry battalion ran two-thirds of the distance in a uniform speed of ten minutes. Then, they increased the speed. , launched the final charge, and the remaining 100 steps were free and ran in a few seconds. The Spanish Andalusian war horses, Arab war horses, and Persian war horses were dressed in full-body chain armor, together with full-body plate armor The knights weigh half a ton each rider. The knight's spear will be a wooden pole that will shatter after one blow. The kinetic energy of the human and horse spears being integrated into one cannot be resisted by any human shield.
The infantry of the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty, the Inlaid Blue Banners troops had already lined up in front of the formation, attempting to use spears to resist the heavy armored cavalry in front and cover the cavalry troops that had just been reorganized in the rear.
However, almost all the inlaid blue flag infantry on the front line were knocked away and stomped over as soon as they came into contact with the heavy armored cavalry of the Chinese army. Several inlaid blue flag infantry stabbed their spears, but were attacked by the opponent. The armor of the heavy armored cavalry blocked back, and the spear hit their own chests and died without saying a word, and the death was extremely miserable.
The cavalry of the Inlaid Blue Flag had just started and was immediately hit by the heavy cavalry of the Chinese army and was immediately knocked over in pieces. The bows and arrows of the Eight Banners could not penetrate the plate armor of the heavy cavalry within dozens of steps. Even if it is shot through, there is no kinetic energy and cannot hurt the opponent's vital points. The fierce and fearless cavalry of the Blue Flag rushed forward and slashed and stabbed the heavy cavalry of the Chinese army, but they basically could not hurt their flesh and were often seen by these people. The Knight who did not meet counterattacked, and they cut off the horse with a sabre. Some warriors inlaid blue flags hit the opponent with maces regardless of everything, but they often could not kill the opponent at one time, and were always killed by the opponent's counterattack. Basically, If the knights of the Inlaid Blue Flag want to kill a heavy cavalry of the Chinese army, they have to pay two or three lives.
The main force of the Inlaid Blue Flag is 8,000 cavalry, but as soon as the battle begins, the opponent's heavy cavalry breaks through the forward line, and the entire formation is labeled as a "concave".
Amin and others have never had the experience of fighting against heavy armored cavalry, but they are riders who have been living on horseback for many years. They know that no matter what kind of horse is, it is impossible to wear such seamless heavy armor. For a long time, Amin asked Goshha to blow the trumpet and drum, and ordered the cavalry forward to expand to the wings, make way for the middle, and do not fight head-on with the heavy armored cavalry.
The heavy cavalry of the Chinese army had lost its speed at this time. He immediately turned left and rushed to the right wing of the Lanqi cavalry in the oblique priest. The 5,000 light cavalry of the Chinese army rushed up, and as soon as they came up, they fired in rows of muskets. .
The smoke of gunpowder suddenly filled the entire battlefield, shouting and killing, the neighing of horses and the sound of musket shooting, and the Eight Banners soldiers were caught off guard and were knocked over again.
When the smoke of gunpowder spread a little, Amin and other generals of the Inlaid Blue Flag were surprised to find that the heavy cavalry had already turned around and were about to leave the battlefield; and the Chinese army's vanguard line was full of light cavalry, facing the Inlaid Blue The flag cavalry slashed and killed.
Relatively speaking, the armor and outfits of the Chinese light cavalry can be compared with the best armored cavalry equipped by the Eight Banners. Half of the horses they ride are Mongolian horses, half of the Arab horses, Gasconi war horses, and Chinese cavalry. The fighting skills may not be as good as those of the Eight Banners soldiers, but the advantage of equipment offsets the gap in combat skills and can still fight against the Eight Banners soldiers.
Amin had never fought such a coward since he fought with Nurhaci. He was so angry that he widened his eyes and shouted to order his Goshha Guard and the most elite thousand armored cavalry to top it, if it were not for the generals. If you hold him to your death, Amin will rush into the battle formation himself.
The Chinese cavalry was also surprised by the Eight Banners' spirit of fighting to the death and not fearing death. After all, the number of cavalry in the Blue Banners was dominant and they continued to pounce on them layer by layer, causing the Chinese light cavalry to be lost after not long. The momentum is getting slower and slower.
In the center of the light cavalry team, Lu Xiaotian calmly discovered this change on the battlefield and immediately ordered the messengers to blow the horns and conchs. The Chinese cavalry immediately swept the two wings of the formation of the cavalry in the blue flag. , then turn around and turn around.
Amin discovered this and almost stood on the horse's back and shouted: "They are going to escape, rush up and stick to them,"
However, the main force of his blue flag cavalry had just been beaten by the Chinese army and lost its formation. The officers and soldiers did not know each other. Amin's mastery of his own troops could only rely on the consciousness of grassroots officers, so he could not suddenly treat the Chinese army. After leaving the battlefield and making an effective response, the newly dispatched Amin Guards and elite armored soldiers could hardly pass through the chaotic team and rushed forward.
Taking advantage of the chaos of the opponent, the Chinese army successively escaped from the chaotic front line of the Lanqi cavalry, and turned back to the two armies to re-arrange. Some Eight Banners soldiers who were actively pursuing the enemy were left the battlefield in advance. At this moment, the heavy armored cavalry were waiting for the battle. They knocked over a large area with muskets.
After all, Amin is an experienced general. Seeing that the enemy team's formation is basically intact, his vanguard troops are still in chaos. It is meaningless to use his scattered team to attack the opponent's tight cavalry front covered by firearms. He immediately summoned the troops and used his own Goshha Guard and elite armored soldiers to cover the entire team on the front line.
Lu Xiaotian took a breath and said to the officer in charge of the police, Mai Yangtian, who was beside him, "I didn't expect that the Jurchen Tartars were so capable that the heavy cavalry could not penetrate their formation. This was the most intense battle since the establishment of our cavalry brigade. Then, this will not work. The heavy cavalry horses can charge again at most. We still have to keep the horsepower until the final battle."
Mai Yangtian covered his whole body under the plate armor, and five or six arrows were inserted into his body, but he was only injured by a little flesh. While taking off his helmet and wiping sweat, he said, "The brothers of Sanshilipu should have already arranged it." OK, should we lead the Jurchens to the present now?”
Lu Xiaotian thought for a while: "Go to another attack, kill a few more Tartars, and get the Second Division Cavalry Battalion ready to pick us up,"
The Chinese cavalry sounded the long conch, and the long and long seemed to never stop. The Chinese cavalry battalion lost only fifty people, and it was almost maintained with full combat power at this moment. However, they did not participate in the charge in the second round. This is because the heavy cavalry lacks durability and mobility. In order to save the horsepower of the heavy cavalry, all the Chinese army's "light" cavalry participated in the second charge.
The cavalry of the Inlaid Blue Flag launched an attack almost at the same time. After the bows, arrows and muskets and bullets were intertwined, a large number of knights on both sides were knocked down. When the troops of both sides collided head-on, groups of knights on both sides died in battle. A moment.
At this time, the battlefield immediately became a melee situation, and at this time the Eight Banners soldiers had the advantage of numerical power, which was very unfavorable for the Chinese cavalry. They were gradually wrapped in the Eight Banners soldiers camp.
A signal rocket flew from the battlefield to the sky, and fireworks burst out.
The heavy cavalry of the Chinese army set out again.
The cavalry of the Inlaid Blue Flag was still unable to fight against the heavy armored cavalry. Although the Eight Banners tried their best to shoot arrows, the heavy cavalry of the Chinese army was shot overturned by only a dozen cavalry, and they still broke into the Inlaid Blue Flag. The forward line, then, they made another big turn, tore a big hole in the cavalry camp of the Inlaid Blue Flag, and the light cavalry that were almost surrounded rushed out one after another.
At this time, 500 cavalrymen from the Lu Xiaoyi Division of the Cavalry Battalion of the Second Division roared and detoured to the rear of the Inlaid Blue Flag Cavalry.
Amin's command was threatened and had to mail his own Goshha guards to withdraw from the front line. The Lanqi cavalry on the front line also divided several teams to intercept Lu Xiaoyi's troops. Taking this opportunity, two A horse-riding rocket launcher was once again bombarded by rockets as a cover. The heavy cavalry and light cavalry also alternately covered and left the battlefield again.
So far, the main troops of the Inlain Blue Banner have been killed and injured by nearly 2,500 people, and the Chinese army has also suffered more than 1,000 casualties.
Lu Xiaotian asked the messenger to use his horns and conchs to blow out a short retreat signal, and also sent a signal rocket. The Chinese cavalry on the battlefield began to retreat south.
While riding a horse and whipping, Lu Xiaotian looked at Mai Yangtian behind him. Mai Yangtian was originally an infantry officer with poor riding skills. In the second round of battle, he was beaten with a mace by the Inlaid Blue Flag Knight. The war horse died. After falling off the horse, he was almost trampled to death by the horse's hooves. Fortunately, Lu Xiaotian arrived in time and saved his life.
"How are your injuries?" Lu Xiaotian shouted loudly.
Mai Yangtian shouted reluctantly: "It's probably because of the broken ribs, it's nothing serious,"
"Be careful, if you can't stand it, let me help you. These Eight Banners soldiers can really fight and rush up without fear. It seems that the prince is right. This is a strong army."
At 500 steps behind them, Amin ordered: "Baturu Aro took ten Niulu to chase, and the rest of the troops were gathered on the spot. After the whole team was completed, we would chase after them. Their heavy cavalry could not run too far. I must eat these Nanmans.”
His head of Goshha gasped and said, "The firearms of the Pirates are indeed sharp and can be fired continuously. They are much stronger than the firearms of the Ming Dynasty's official army. Master Beile, if the infantrymen follow us,"
The infantry with the blue flag, like the cavalry, is actually a configuration of one person and two horses, and is basically a horse-riding infantry.
Amin thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, let the whole army change horses to prepare for war, prepare for the whole army assault,"
...
The sun crosses the sky, and it is already afternoon.
On the north gate of Sanshilipubao Village, Zeng Rui put down his glasses and turned to report to Yin Feng: "The Cavalry Brigade has retreated, and it seems that the reduction in personnel is not serious,"
