Valley Emperor

The cavalry organization of the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty has undergone many reforms since the unification war. It was not until the 12th year of Xuanping that the basic cavalry organization was determined. Basically, a standard cavalry regiment, whether it is The division is a cavalry regiment, a cavalry regiment under the cavalry division, or an independent cavalry regiment. The theoretical organization is the same. The strength of a cavalry regiment is 800. Formation of cavalry battalions.

However, in the actual operation process, the establishment of the divisional cavalry regiment is often reduced, and the independent cavalry regiment will also be expanded.

The Sixth Cuirassier Regiment had a total of 2,000 cavalry.

The 1st Lancers also numbered more than 2,000 people.

However, the cavalry divisions of the cavalry divisions are all standard establishments, say 800 to 800, without discount.

The eight hundred cavalry marched slowly in four waves. The interval between the cavalry and the cavalry was very small. At the same time, each platoon was kept on the same horizontal line. This strict and dense formation was the result of the Tang cavalry's cavalry tactic. fundamental.

In the Datang cavalry, you can do all kinds of complicated tricks on horseback, and even the tactical movements of chopping are normal, but you must be able to maintain the formation, otherwise, you will not be able to cooperate with your comrades.

The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty never paid attention to fighting alone, but rushed forward in a dense formation, striving for a local military advantage in a dense formation, resulting in a situation in which several of their own team fought against one of the enemy.

Today, the various cavalry regiments to which the 1st Cavalry Division belongs are gradually advancing in this classic dense formation. Their speed is not fast, just the normal walking speed of the horses!

A total of four cavalry regiments plus a cavalry battalion directly under the division headquarters, a total of about 3,500 combat cavalry formed a huge arrow, and then slowly advanced towards the Tatars in front.

Although the total strength of the 1st Cavalry Division is more than 4,000 people, some of them are auxiliary troops and cavalry artillery units. Obviously, these troops will not directly participate in the charge. Only 3,500 cavalry are involved in the charge!

When the 1st Cavalry Division got on their horses and started to move, the front Tatar cavalrymen also moved instantly. Naturally, they noticed the change of the 1st Cavalry Division on the opposite side.

Soon, they also gave up lining up to rest, and instead mounted their war horses and moved at the same time.

The standing cavalry is not even as effective as the infantry, so whether it is defensive or offensive, the cavalry must move, and it is best to charge, which can not only bring a huge impact, but also Has excellent mobility.

These are all the cavalry's housekeeping skills. If you stay still stupidly, you are giving up your own advantages.

Standing still and fighting meleely on the ground is the specialty of the infantry!

The 1st Cavalry Division moved, and so did the 5th Cavalry Division on the side. The 5th Cavalry Division also had about 3,500 cavalry troops participating in the charge. It was slowly advancing beside the 1st Cavalry Division, and the formation was also formed. A giant arrow!

The two huge arrows, advancing in parallel, were about three hundred meters apart from each other.

But soon, the two huge arrows began to shorten the distance, from 300 meters to 200 meters, or even 100 meters!

For the huge cavalry unit, the distance of 100 meters is basically not much different from no one. These two cavalry divisions have already converged and are ready to charge together!

At this time, I saw a middle-aged man in the military uniform of a senior general and the rank of major general in the front again slowly pulling out the saber at his waist!

This person is the 6th Army Major General Liu Ziao, the commander of the 1st Cavalry Division, and Lieutenant General Lu Yu, the cavalry director of the 6th Army Cavalry of the Tang Dynasty. , It took four years after the war to be promoted to major general of the 6th Army in the 12th year of Xuanping.

He was still a young man in his twenties from the time of the dragon, and now he is a middle-aged man of thirty-eight years. After fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years, he faced the Tatar cavalry striker with nearly 10,000 people in front of him. , without the slightest hint of fear.

Back then, when he fought with Lu Yuzhi, he dared to attack thousands of Tatars with hundreds of cavalry!

Today, he has 3,500 soldiers under his command, and there are an equal number of friendly troops on the side, a total of 6,000 cavalry against 10,000 Tatar cavalry!

enough!

After slowly pulling out his golden wire command knife, Major General Liu Ziao said to the adjutant beside him, "It's almost there, you can mention it!"

Immediately, his adjutant nodded towards the messenger behind him, and immediately, the messenger behind him sounded the horn.

After the rhythmic horn sounded, the commanders of the cavalry regiments in the rear also responded with an order: "Get ready, trot forward!"

"Strictly order all ministries to prohibit the use of pistols!"

Although it is said that they are equipped with pistols, in specific operations, especially in such charge operations, not every cavalry will use it. Often only the cavalry in the front row will use it, and the cavalry in the back will directly use the knife.

Because the formation was too dense, it was difficult for the cavalry in the rear to have the opportunity to shoot at the beginning of the engagement.

At the same time, because the final charge of the cavalry is very fast, from the 20 to 30 meters range of the pistol to the direct engagement, there is often only a short one or two seconds. The cavalry with poor riding skills and psychological quality is often difficult to shoot after shooting. Change the sword in time.

Therefore, in this kind of direct charge combat, only some of the most elite cavalry in the front row can smoothly switch to sabre combat after using pistols.

This has also led to many cavalry officers forbidding the cavalry to use pistols on some specific occasions, especially when they plan to charge directly for hand-to-hand combat.

They prefer to use the saber from start to finish!

The cavalry generals of the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty have absolute trust in the saber!

They even gave up spears, hollow lances and the like, and only used sabers for cold weapons.

Although pistols and spears are equipped, they are generally only used under specific tactics, such as repeated charges, and tactics similar to those of cavalry and cavalry!

However, when charging hand to hand combat, the officers of most troops usually strictly prohibit the cavalry from using pistols!

The officers were running, checking to see if any cavalrymen in their queue were using pistols, and at the same time shouting various slogans!

However, when the horses started to trot, the sound of hooves was too loud, and it was difficult for the cavalry to hear what orders their superiors were shouting.

At this time, the horns in the hands of the messengers came into play.

The movements of the cavalry, even the speed, followed the rhythm of the horn.

Following the orders of the officers, the cavalrymen each held the handle of the saber with one hand, the back of the knife resting directly on the shoulder, and the other hand grabbed the reins, urging the horses to trot forward.

As the trot advanced, the officers ran back and forth on their horses, shouting, "Keep the formation, keep the formation!"

Formation is the foundation of the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty. Whether it is infantry or cavalry, its operations are heavily dependent on various formations.

The strict formation is also the foundation of the Datang 6th Army. If there is no strict formation, it will lead to the situation of fighting alone. In terms of the personal qualities of the Datang cavalry, the Tartar cavalry cannot be played at all.

The Datang cavalry was mentioning it, and the Tatar cavalry on the opposite side were also mentioning it. They did not choose to turn around to avoid and wait for the main force to arrive. Instead, they chose to fight and rushed forward.

If the opposite is the Datang infantry phalanx, they may not be able to charge, but the opposite is the Datang cavalry, and their own strength, and the cavalry that is going to confront them, they will not let it!

If this is avoided, maybe someone will chase him behind his **** and beat him, and then the situation will be difficult to clean up.

In this case, they naturally would not choose to avoid it!

They were born to be wartime on horseback!

As for those southern Tang barbarians, they were just a group of farmers, they thought they were cavalry on horses!

Today, they are going to teach these southern Tang barbarians what the real cavalry is like!

The Tatar cavalry raised it and roared towards the cavalry of the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty on the opposite side!

If you look down from the sky at this time~www.wuxiaspot.com~, you will see that the two huge arrows on the ground are approaching, and their speed is getting faster and faster.

When the commander of the 1st Cavalry Division of the 6th Tang Army, the 6th Army Major General Liu Ziao, who was wearing a light half-armor, pulled off the visor of his helmet, swung his saber forward, and shouted: "Kill!"

The entire 1st Cavalry Division mentioned the highest degree, and the cavalry shouted in unison: "Kill!

And pointed the saber in his hand diagonally forward!

Horses and knights are galloping fast!

The distance between the two sides soon approached from 100 meters to 20 meters, and at this time, whether it was the cavalry of the 6th Tang Army or the Tatars, they all gave up using pistols or bows and arrows!

Because when the cavalry on both sides faced off, the speed was too fast, the bow and arrow could not be used, and the pistol could not be used. The most useful thing was to fight directly with a saber.

The cavalry at the front of the two sides quickly collided with each other, and then sparks flew!

It's really sparkling!

Because their sabers collided with each other, or the sabers saw the armor and burst out sparks!

Just in the moment when the cavalry on both sides met, at least a hundred cavalry from both sides fell down, and the confrontation between cavalry was far more violent than the battle between infantry and infantry, and between infantry and cavalry. There are too many, and people turn their backs for a while.

But when the cavalry in the front row turned their backs on their horses, the cavalry in the back row filed in, and the cavalry in row after row attacked the enemy in front!

Between the Tang Dynasty and the Tatars, so far, the largest cavalry battle officially kicked off!
