Valley Emperor

The 6th Cuirassier Regiment was a standard heavy-armored cavalry unit in the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty. Although its defensive power was not as good as those of the 1st Lancer Regiment wearing full-body armor, its enlarged version of the heavy cuirass was sufficient. Let them have a proud defense. &1t;/

The riding ability of the Tartars is undoubtedly top-notch. After all, this is their housekeeping book. The accuracy is good, and the power is not weak. &1t;/

But even so, the arrows of these Tartars can only take cover shooting mode, and on high-running horses, they are unlikely to accurately aim at the detailed part and get a hit, and it is impossible to be able to do this. It was an ordinary Tartar cavalry, but it belonged to a sharpshooter. There must be such a person, but there would never be too many, and it was impossible for thousands of people to appear. &1t;/

After these Tartar cavalrymen shot out the arrows, the arrows flew into the array of the 6th Cuirassier Regiment! &1t;/

Then...&1t;/

Then most of the arrows hit their armor! &1t;/

These armors are all plate armors forged with fine steel. Even for weight control, except for the chest position, other parts are relatively thin, but this thinness is only relative to bullets. As for bows and arrows, even if The quality of the arrows used by these Tartars is not bad, but the power is still not comparable to bullets. &1t;/

Most of the arrows that hit the Datang cavalry hit the armor, and at least a very few were the parts that were not covered by the armor, causing casualties to a few cuirassiers. &1t;/

Most of the casualties are only injuries to the non-torso part, because the important parts are protected by armor. &1t;/

On the other hand, the war horses, except that the war horses in the front rows are protected by war horse armor, the war horses that the ordinary cuirassers ride in the back do not have special armor for war horses, so the war horses are injured more. &1t;/

But in general, this wave of arrows from the Tartars did not cause any actual damage to the Sixth Cuirassier Regiment, but they themselves lost one or two hundred men. &1t;/

However, although it was not very smooth, these Tartar cavalry did not love to fight. After Gao approached the archery, they immediately left Gao! &1t;/

And the 6th Cuirassier Regiment ignored them, but continued to approach with a trot! &1t;/

As the distance between the two sides gradually narrowed, it was impossible for the other side to continue to use this cavalry-shooting tactic. As for the other side's cavalry troops not charging and stopping to shoot arrows, or shooting arrows while charging, then the Datang cavalry was more willing. &1t;/

Because no matter which one, it can bring a great advantage to the charge waiting for oneself! &1t;/

But the Tartars obviously know that there is no time and space for them to shoot salvos when the war is on. , must also be strangled. &1t;/

When you shoot arrows after Tihou, when you shoot the arrows out, the saber will cut you on the head. &1t;/

What's more, this kind of cavalry battle of tens of thousands of people is a wave of cavalry charging after a wave of cavalry, and it is impossible to have too many gaps. &1t;/

If you want to deal with such a cavalry charge, if it is an infantry, it is to form a formation and use a spear, a bow or a musket to fight against it. If it is a cavalry, there is nothing to say. &1t;/

The Tatars also chose this method, and Altan Khan did not hesitate. When the distance between the two sides was about the same, he just blew the horn of the charge! &1t;/

Twenty-five thousand Tatar cavalry began to change from trotting to galloping, then sprinting! &1t;/

Correspondingly, the opposite Kang Changning also started the charge with the cavalry regiment! &1t;/

The distance between the main forces of the two sides has been shortened from the previous four or five hundred meters to two hundred meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters! &1t;/

In the next instant, the knights in the front row of both sides collided together. All of this seemed to be a repeat of the previous battle between the forward troops of the two sides! &1t;/

The knights of the 6th Cuirassier Regiment, relying on the dense formation, good defense, and tall horses, forcibly bumped into it. &1t;/

At this moment alone, at least hundreds of knights on both sides were killed or injured, but all of this was just the beginning. &1t;/

More cavalry from the rear continued to come up, and then the two sides fought. &1t;/

This was an absolute head-to-head battle, and there was no tricky battle. Both sides chose to give up long-range firepower, bows and arrows, and then pistols were directly put away, just using the most primitive sabres to fight. &1t;/

But soon, Alta Khan realized that even if he had invested more troops, it was twice the number of the opposing Datang cavalry, but the actual battle did not show the military advantage it should have. &1t;/

Because the formation of the Tartar cavalry is too loose, and the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty is very close, such a comparison also leads to a considerable part of the Tartar cavalry, in fact, just whizzed past the two sides of the Tang cavalry, and Without actual contact with the Tang cavalry students, there is no connection, let alone any battle. &1t;/

However, the Tatar cavalry fighting against the Tang Dynasty cavalry only occupied less than a quarter of the total force, and this quarter of the force was still scattered. &1t;/

Therefore, such a strange situation appeared on the battlefield. Although the total strength of the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty was small, in actual combat, there were two or three cavalrymen besieging a Tartar cavalry. &1t;/

And this is not an isolated case, but the general case! &1t;/

At this moment, Altan Khan understood why the forward troops suffered a loss before. &1t;/

Because the opponent's formation is really too close, and the formation is neat and the action is the same, the cavalry of one's own side encounters such a cavalry, and it can be said that there is no way to show their power in a fight. &1t;/

At the same time, the heavy cavalry of the opponent's more than 1,000 people is too fierce. Relying on tall horses and thick armor, they are often directly crushed and killed, and they don't play any tactics at all. &1t;/

Their armor, their formation is their biggest support. &1t;/

However, what worries Altan Khan is that his cavalry can't resist their charge! &1t;/

how can that be! &1t;/

You must know that the 40,000 cavalry he brought with him were all the cavalry of the headquarters in the 30,000 households on the right wing. They have followed him in the north and south for decades. I don’t know how many tribes they have conquered. Every cavalry is a brave man. . &1t;/

But in front of these southern Tang barbarians' cavalry, they couldn't even resist. &1t;/

This! &1t;/

how is this possible! &1t;/

He could hardly believe what he was seeing. &1t;/

If Altan Khan had seen how the striker was defeated before, then he should not be shocked, but unfortunately, he was too far away at that time, and only saw a small loss of his own striker cavalry, but how did he suffer? Yes, the low-level generals are also half-understood. They only say that they are fighting. Obviously, the overall situation has an advantage, but in part, it is a fiasco of being killed. The whole process is inexplicable. &1t;/

It's not that the Tatars have never fought against the Tang Dynasty. When they went south, they fought against the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty in Shandong. As a result, more than 10,000 horsemen were killed and wounded in front of the bayonet formation of the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty. &1t;/

Therefore, [31 Novel.com update quickly], they have also learned to be good. In the years to come, whether it is a small-scale conflict or a large-scale war today, they all keep one principle in mind, that is, never take the initiative to attack. The phalanx of Datang's 6th Army infantry, which is ready and ready for battle. &1t;/

As for the battle between cavalry, the two sides have fought in the past few years, but they are small battles of dozens or hundreds of people. It is difficult to reflect some specific information in this kind of battle. &1t;/

At the same time, they could not get any useful information from the early years of the Datang cavalry with the Chahar Department and the Duoyan Sanwei, because the quality of the Datang cavalry was good, and their cavalry was mostly used as mounted infantry. , often on horseback, and then directly dismount to fight with muskets. &1t;/

It is the first time that 10,000 cavalrymen have really been used for cavalry charge operations. &1t;/

The Tang cavalry had never done this before, so the Tartars naturally couldn't judge the true strength of the Tang cavalry's charge. &1t;/

But now, Altan Khan has seen the real strength of the Tang Dynasty cavalry charge! &1t;/

So weird! &1t;/

Yes, it's not shocking or something, but it's weird! &1t;/

Because Altan Khan couldn't understand what he saw, his troops were obviously more powerful, and his cavalry was obviously superior in horsemanship and even swordsmanship, but why was it unbearable in front of the cavalry formed by this group of peasants hit. &1t;/

Their cavalry formation, as if they were made of paper, was broken by the Tang cavalry! &1t;/

He doesn't understand! &1t;/

If the Tang cavalry on the opposite side~www.wuxiaspot.com~ used muskets to engage in the previous kite-flying tactic, although it looked disgusting, he could understand it. famous. &1t;/

He knew it many years ago. &1t;/

But he didn't expect that they would be so sharp in this horse-riding charge and hand-to-hand combat! &1t;/

This is **** unreasonable! &1t;/

Seeing that the situation was not good, Altan Khan soon made a change. This change was not to mobilize the 25,000 cavalry of the Chinese army. In fact, the Chinese army was already charging, and it was impossible to do anything in time. Changed, no matter whether it is a victory or a defeat, the adjustment can only be made after the charge is completed. &1t;/

What he wants to change is the cavalry on both wings! &1t;/

He raised his head and glanced at the cavalry on the left and right flanks that were still detouring, especially the ten thousand cavalry on the left flank, and immediately ordered: "Let the army on the left flank attack the flank of the Southern Tang Manzi immediately!"&1t;/

Although the 10,000 cavalry hadn't come back to their positions, he didn't care, because he was worried that if he continued like this, the 25,000 cavalry in his own army would not be able to stop the 13,000 cavalry! &1t;/

But at that time, it's not whether they can stop the more than 10,000 Southern Tang barbarian cavalrymen, but their army is about to fail miserably! &1t;/

He would never allow such a thing to happen! &1t;/
