Valley Emperor

When the cavalry collided, the speed of both sides was mentioned to the extreme, and the impact of the explosion was very huge!

The cavalry at the front of the two sides passed each other in the moment of contact. The saber held by the cavalry was only a light stroke, which could seriously injure the enemy almost without blowing dust.

However, when they rushed up, the Tartar cavalry realized that there were fewer companions around them, and at the same time, the Tang army cavalry on the opposite side was densely packed.

Are you kidding me, don't you have more cavalry on your side?

How can you actually have fewer cavalry on your side when you are in actual combat?

When a Tartar cavalry finally dodged the saber of two Tang army cavalrymen in a row, and finally fell off his horse with a slash by the third oncoming Tang army cavalry, he was full of disbelief, he did not understand, how I will meet so many Tang Jun cavalry!

When it comes to fighting, he almost has to face three Tang army cavalry alone, even if his riding skills are high, it is impossible to win at this disadvantage!

And this person's experience is not unique, but common. At this moment, countless Tartar cavalrymen who rushed to fight with the Tang army cavalry all found a very terrifying situation, that is, they almost To face two or even more than three Tang Jun cavalry at the same time.

What about your comrades?

where are they?

Why did he have more people, but he fell into a situation where he was besieged by most of the Tang army cavalry?

They don't understand!

However, these Tartar cavalrymen who were under siege did not know that most of their comrades in arms were also at a loss at this time!

They rushed up, but the formation of the Tang army cavalry on the opposite side was very dense, almost rushing up side by side, while the distance between their own cavalry was very large, which also led to the fact that the Tatar cavalry When rushing up, the combat width is far greater than that of the Tang army cavalry!

And this also means that, in fact, at this time, quite a few of the Tatar cavalry in the front row did not engage with the Tang army cavalry, and could only pass by doing nothing!

The Tang army cavalry rushed into the scattered Tatar cavalry like a dense cavalry wall!

This creates a very weird situation!

The number of Tatar cavalry was even more than three times that of Tang army cavalry, but the number of Tatar cavalry that actually fought against Tang army cavalry was less than one-fifth.

And this is also the core advantage of the Datang cavalry cavalry charge tactics!

In a battle within a unit area, the Datang cavalry can always concentrate more cavalry than the enemy's traditional cavalry, thereby creating a tactical military advantage!

Then through a more dense formation, maintain a consistent formation, and use the power of collective combat to supplement the disadvantage of the cavalry's own quality!

And this tactic has made frequent contributions in the many battles of the Tang cavalry, especially in large-scale charge duels!

There is such a saying in the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, if it is a single cavalry against a single cavalry, and the Tang cavalry against the professional cavalry of the Ming army, it will be the result of defeat!

It was dozens of cavalry against dozens of cavalry. If the opponent was flexible enough, then the Datang cavalry would also lose more and win less.

But when the scale of the battle continues to expand to hundreds of cavalry, then the Datang cavalry can often occupy an absolute advantage!

This is because in small-scale operations, more is dependent on the individual combat effectiveness of the cavalry, and the individual combat effectiveness of the Datang cavalry, to be honest, is not as elite as the Ming army's frontier cavalry.

If it is a large-scale battle, then it relies on collective battles, and the role of the individual will be rapidly diminished.

This is also the reason why the Datang cavalry always likes to use the cavalry together!

Each unit of the Third Army has cavalry units, but in times of war, in addition to maintaining the necessary reconnaissance cavalry for each unit, the main cavalry battalions and teams are often concentrated, and then cavalry detachments are established.

This is because the Datang cavalry themselves know that they cannot take advantage of small-scale cavalry battles, but if it is a large-scale cavalry battle, then they can occupy an absolute advantage.

The Ming army has also been aware of this tendency in recent years, so the Ming army cavalry has not fought a large-scale cavalry duel with the Tang army in the past year or two, but prefers to conduct small-scale reconnaissance and harassment operations to minimize cavalry engagements as much as possible. scale to change this disadvantage.

However, the Tatar cavalry had never fought against the Tang army cavalry. This time, they fought against the Tang army cavalry for the second time, and a dozen of them were a large-scale cavalry duel.

This also resulted in the fact that even though the Tatar cavalry had an advantage in overall strength, the actual fight left the Tatar cavalry in an embarrassing situation where they were at a local disadvantage.

And what does this lead to?

Naturally, it resulted in a large number of casualties among the Tatar cavalry!

In such a large-scale cavalry battle, no matter how good your riding skills are, you can't stop the sabers that follow one after another!

This kind of brutal cavalry hedging battle, like hand-to-hand combat among infantry, will result in a large number of casualties in a short period of time. If both sides have the same strength and tactics, then it will be a simple war of attrition. If the strength is not equal, then the weaker party will collapse immediately.

Are the Tatar cavalry weak? Not weak!

Are there any Tatar cavalry? Quite a lot!

However, the Tatar cavalry, which was not weak, was being pressed and beaten by the Datang cavalry with only a mere 1,800 cavalry at this moment.

In this scene, let alone the ordinary Tartar cavalry felt something was wrong, even Briggud in the rear felt something was wrong!

This situation is really too weird. This battle is exactly the same as when the Tang Army's infantry formation was charged before, and it is very weird!

If it continues like this, I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties again. After this idea popped up in Briggood's mind, he decisively ordered to retreat again!

Now that the situation is so strange, if it continues to fight, I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties. Briggood feels that it is necessary to retreat one or two first, and then consider how to fight later.

However, although Briggood ordered to retreat, the battle between the cavalry was not a simple cavalry attacking the infantry.

When the cavalry attacked the infantry, as long as the situation was not right, it would naturally go away!

But the confrontation between cavalry and cavalry, especially when the two sides are still high in confrontation, is not considered to be able to walk if one wants to go. Except for the cavalry who did not participate in the battle on the left and right sides to retreat calmly, the Tatar cavalry in the middle who fought with the Tang army cavalry, Even if you want to retreat, you have to rush over first.

Under the high charge, they couldn't stop except for biting the bullet and continuing to charge. They couldn't even turn around. There were Tang Jun cavalry on the left and right. Where do you think he could turn?

In an instant, the Tatar cavalry in the charge turned into three parts. The Tatar cavalry on the left and right, after a slight turn, broke away from the battle between the two sides, but the Tatar cavalry in the middle continued to be with the Tang army cavalry. Fight!

The two sides were like two spearheads, directly rushing past. On the way of the two sides' hedging, there was a place of cavalry corpses and screaming warhorses!

It didn't take long for the cavalry led by Lu Yuzhi to penetrate through the formation of the Tartar cavalry like sharp arrows, and the remaining Tartar cavalry finally rushed out.

But at this time, Briggood was glaring at him at the back!

In this hedging, at least more than 1,000 cavalry failed to rush out. If you count the nearly 3,000 cavalry that were damaged in the Tang army's infantry phalanx before, he today, no, it should be said that in the past quarter of an hour, By the time he arrived, he had already lost 4,000 horses!

Although his heart is full of anger, he also knows that he can't continue fighting today, who knows what means Tang Jun on the opposite side has yet to come up with!

"Let's go!" Briggood took a deep breath and directly issued the final retreat order!

Seeing that the remaining 5,000 cavalrymen of the Tartars were gone, Lu Yuzhi was also relieved!

After some hedging just now, his third cavalry detachment was also under great pressure!

Although more than 1,000 Tatar cavalrymen were killed and wounded, their own casualties were also over 400!

Eighteen hundred riders, only less than fourteen hundred left!

If the opposite Tatar cavalry does not give up and fights a few more times, it will certainly be able to kill the Tatar cavalry several times, but the third cavalry detachment of his own will probably be completely disabled.

Now that the Tartar cavalry has retreated voluntarily, he did not lead the cavalry to continue the pursuit. If he continued to pursue, he might encounter unnecessary trouble.

At this time, Chen Keqiao also brought the officers of the 5th Infantry Division on horseback to meet!

"Brother Lu, the cavalry duel just now is an example of how to win more with less. Today, your third cavalry detachment has greatly increased the prestige of our Great Tang King!" After Chen Keqiao came to Lu Yuzhi, yes Unceremoniously gave him a big hat!

Lu Yuzhi laughed: "This is nothing, but Brother Chen, you fought with 10,000 infantry soldiers, but you were able to kill and injure thousands of enemy cavalry. With this kind of military exploits, Lu Mou can't catch up even if he beats a horse!"

Chen Keqiao said: "Okay, you and I don't tout each other, let's go, go to the ship and let's have a good chat, Lin Duoyi of the Navy is still waiting for us!"

Lin Duoyi ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ in Chen Keqiao's mouth is the commander of the Navy Canal Fleet, the rank of Rear Admiral, and the main person in charge of the Navy's cooperation with the 6th Army in this northbound operation.

This time, he personally sits in the First Squadron of the Canal Fleet and cooperates with the Fifth Infantry Division.

The two generals went to the ship moored on the canal to meet Lin Duoyi of the navy, but the other soldiers of the 5th Infantry Division and the 3rd Cavalry Detachment were not idle.

On the one hand, they have to treat their own wounded, and on the other hand, they have to capture the Tatar prisoners left on the battlefield, and then they have to deal with a batch of trophies that are very important enough to make all the cavalry generals of the Tang Dynasty drool, that is, war horses .

In this battle, the Tang army has achieved great results, and the captured warhorses are not a minority.
