"Form up!" Dong Qing immediately gave the order subconsciously after seeing the front.**
All the infantry army structures in Dragon City are no strangers to cavalry. Because in Dragon City, there is the first cavalry in the mainland. [Search for the latest updates here.]
Daily training includes many exercises against cavalry.
For example, in order to hone the psychological barriers of soldiers when facing cavalry charges, assault training was deliberately carried out with large-scale cavalry units when they were unexpected.
Many new recruits are often scared to death at this time. Of course, they have to receive some education afterwards. Over time, the soldiers in Longcheng no longer have the almost desperate fear when facing the cavalry.
Don't underestimate these trainings. The so-called courage training is not as simple as building the courage of soldiers.
The Longcheng military conducted many investigations, especially on the advantages and disadvantages of cavalry. Zhou Yunfei's preference for cavalry led to the confrontational deduction of dragoon cavalry tactics to an unprecedented level.
Generally speaking, the advantage of cavalry charging infantry is nothing more than using its own mobility to repeatedly involve the infantry phalanx, and then finding the weakest link to break through. And why once the infantry phalanx is broken through by cavalry, will it cause a huge disaster?
The massive defeat was actually due to the military quality and will of the infantry.
In many cases, it was the fear brought by the cavalry that led to the collapse of the infantry phalanx, and finally the situation was formed where the cavalry was chasing them.
The lethality of cavalry units against infantry is actually not simply direct killing. What does it mean? In the process of breaking through the square formation, the cavalry units do not directly rely on weapons to kill. Instead, they use the power of the cavalry itself to cause damage to the opponent.
The inner defense line collapsed and turned into a pursuit.
From ancient times to the present, the use of cavalry has always followed this principle, and similarly, infantry is also looking for ways to restrain cavalry in this battle between cavalry and infantry.
The phalanx is the product that emerged as a result.
As we all know, a single infantryman has almost no ability to deal with cavalry. Gradually, it became the habit of infantrymen to rely on their overall strength to fight against cavalry. Square formations and spears are these two things.
One of the best weapons against cavalry.
This set of theories has been gradually standardized by the Longcheng military, but in other parts of the mainland, these things still only exist vaguely.
Perhaps without Zhou Yunfei's unexpected intervention, Ross Continent would slowly form this system in the future.
Back on the battlefield, when the First Division of the First Army faced the Royal Knights, they immediately implemented a series of methods formulated by Longcheng to fight against the cavalry.
In the wild, to resist the charge of cavalry, a square formation must be formed. The formation now formed by the First Division is the Longcheng Formation that has been improved many times by Longcheng.
A four-sided matrix, with five rows of spear soldiers on the outside and sword and shield soldiers and crossbowmen on the inside.
This formation can quickly respond to cavalry assaults from all directions. Although its maneuverability is not as good as that of the cavalry, the cavalry still has to think twice before acting in the face of a forest of spear formations.
Dong Qing is in a very bad mood now. The continuous appearance of enemies has made the First Division not have a good life from the beginning to the present. The extreme lack of supplies also prevents the soldiers from using many methods to deal with the cavalry.
But it's too late to think about these things now. Facing cavalry, and cavalry that outnumbers one's own, it is already very difficult to remain undefeated.
The Royal Knights advanced slowly. Although the Dragon City army in front formed a hedgehog-like phalanx, they were not in a hurry to attack.
Originally, their mission was to delay. The longer the delay, the more detrimental it would be to Dragon City. Moreover, as cavalry, they would not be afraid of these two-legged infantry.
If possible, they would prefer to enter the encirclement to see the best cavalry team in the world.
This is the honor of being a cavalry, and only cavalry understands it.
Seeing the actions of the Royal Knights, Dong Qing immediately understood the meaning.
However, he had no way to solve this situation.
Do you expect two-legged infantry to throw off four-legged cavalry?
Since you can't get rid of it, you will inevitably face the opponent taking the opportunity to kill you with one blow during the advance! This is no joke, don't underestimate any cavalry!
This is the natural advantage of cavalry when facing infantry. The initiative on the battlefield is always in the cavalry's side!
The Royal Knights stood firmly not far from the first division. The two thousand cavalry were all dressed in neat armor, and the golden armor also showed the majesty of the royal family. Behind them, there were three thousand light cavalry scattered.
Most of these are attendant troops attached to the Royal Knights, and some are improvised infantry. Although their combat effectiveness is not necessarily strong, they can only play a diversionary role.
The Royal Knights did not launch an attack, Dong Qing's first division was unable to advance a step, and the entire battlefield was in a stalemate.
As time passed by, Dong Qing became more and more anxious.
How to do how to do!
Even the Longcheng military could not figure out how to defeat the cavalry with infantry attacks. The most they could do was how to defeat the cavalry attacks during defensive counterattacks.
"Sir, let us go." Just when Dong Qing was at a loss what to do, he heard the words of the person behind him.
He looked back and saw that it was Yu Feng who was speaking.
"You!?" Dong Qing was stunned. Of course he knew that he had 800 cavalry, but what was the use of these cavalry?
In theory, the only way to defeat a cavalry force is with another cavalry force.
Dong Qing naturally knew that each of Longcheng's cavalry was an elite soldier selected from thousands of people. They had undergone rigorous training. Although they were not as powerful as the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry of the 1st Cavalry Division, don't underestimate them.
.
This cavalry battalion directly under the First Army has been established for a long time. When the First Army was first established, this cavalry already existed. Their predecessor was naturally the equally famous Yanyun Cavalry. But later these Yanyun cavalry
As elites, Yun Tieqidu was dispersed to various army groups to serve as cavalry captains.
Yu Feng, the young cavalry battalion commander, like other cavalry, are elite warriors selected from the lowest level and trained into qualified cavalry.
They also have the pride of being cavalry!
In this current situation, only their eight hundred cavalry can break the deadlock.
Therefore, Yu Feng asked Dong Qing, "Sir, let us go!"
Dong Qing looked at Yu Feng's young face and saw determination, pride and confidence on his face!
In silence, Dong Qing looked at Yu Feng wordlessly.
Dong Qing sighed slightly and nodded. He knew that the only way to break the current deadlock was by Yu Feng and others. However, he also knew what the consequences of using eight hundred cavalry against five thousand cavalry would be.
"The First Division will follow you quickly after your attack. Do not fight! At the last possible moment, I will allow you to escape on your own!" Dong Qing whispered these words when Yu Feng turned around.
Yu Feng's footsteps paused, but he did not look back, but stepped forward more firmly.
The breeze blew, and the battle flag of the First Army fluttered.
Stepping onto their horses and drawing their sabers, the eight hundred cavalrymen waited for orders from their commander, Yu Feng.
"Brothers, charge with me!" Yu Feng did not say any words of encouragement. He simply said, "Charge with me." It became the loudest slogan in the hearts of the eight hundred cavalrymen.
"All troops! Assault!" After the cavalry battalion left, Dong Qing took a deep breath and issued the order.
The actions of the First Division made the Royal Knights on the opposite side a little confused.
However, for the cavalry who left the main formation, the fighting heart in the hearts of these royal knights began to beat faintly again.
The cavalry of Dragon City has always been the dream opponent of all cavalry. Every cavalry unit fantasizes about fighting the cavalry of Dragon City all the time.
Different from infantry battles, cavalry battles often have only one word, and that is hedging!
The one who is alive is the winner.
This fleeting brilliance may be what fascinates the cavalry.
Although there were only less than a thousand cavalry troops, Yu Feng and the others still exuded that domineering spirit.
The long snake formation spread out in a straight line and slowly increased its speed.
As if they had received the signal from Yu Feng and the others, the Royal Knights also opened up their charging front and slowly increased their speed to face their opponents.
At this moment, all orders and delays were forgotten.
At this moment, there is only the challenge from the cavalry, and only the pride from the cavalry!
Prior to this, the most widely transmitted and widely circulated event on the entire road was the scene between the 1st Cavalry Division and Alton's Central Army in mid-April.
Although there were no spectators, and no one even knew the specific battle, this did not hinder the people's imagination of the scene.
So heroic, so exciting.
At this moment, Dong Qing and the soldiers of the First Division of the First Army were all looking intently at the confrontation ahead!
The vast sound of the horn blew slowly, which was the exclusive signal for the Dragon City cavalry to charge!
woo woo woo woo……
Along with the sound of the horn, the cavalryman slowly lowered the spear in his hand, and the speed of the horse under him increased rapidly, and soon reached the limit speed of the dragon and horse!
Yu Feng's cavalry battalion quickly changed from a long snake formation to a wedge formation.
The ground is shaking, the speed of the Royal Knights has also increased to its peak, and the distance between the two sides is rapidly approaching!
It's strange, in the eyes of onlookers, why does the illusion of time stand still occur even though the speed is so fast?
The rapid breathing of the war horses, the slightly trembling spear points of the knights, and the dancing stones on the ground.
boom!
After an illusion of slowness, a sudden loud noise on the battlefield kicked off the cavalry showdown!
