Chapter 146 Gap

Daishan and Manguertai were gathering the retreating infantry. If the cavalry successfully rushed forward, these infantry would continue to be put into the battlefield and send a final blow to the Ningyuan battle formation.

Manguertai gathered a group of people and looked up. He happened to see the layers of black spears spread out in the infantry battle formations gathered by Ningyuan's army, like a peacock spreading its tail.

The spear blades flashing with cold light were facing the direction of their cavalry charging.

His heart was bleeding at this moment.

I wonder how many people will die if my own cavalry wants to break out of such a battle formation!

He raised his head, looked at the pale sun above his head, and murmured: "Ningyuan Army, what an iron army; Ye Qiu, what a brave general."

Then his expression turned ruthless, "I must kill this person today and wipe out Ningyuan's army. I must never let this person and Ningyuan's army develop!"

A huge shock came from his feet, and a Ning Yuan soldier looked down, and the blood under his feet rippled in circles.

He felt a suffocation in his heart: Here comes!

He was a little scared...

It's not like the two wings at this moment, and the cavalry facing them are all divided by trenches.

Such a dense cavalry rushing forward is not comparable to that of scattered cavalry.

But he can't retreat, nor can he retreat.

There were comrades in front, back, left and right, and everyone was tightly attached to each other and could not move at all, but this gave him and his companions the courage to face the Jurchen cavalry.

A few miles ahead, the Jurchen cavalry, who were rushing like a tide, began to speed up.

When the cavalry charges, they first let the war horses take small steps, and then gradually accelerate. When they are about one hundred meters away from the enemy formation, they will raise the horse's speed to the highest and hit the enemy formation head-on.

Only in this way can the cavalry's powerful impact advantage be exerted.

The charge of more than 6,000 war horses was really overwhelmed. The blood-soaked mud on the ground was scattered by tens of thousands of horses' hooves and flew high in the air. Looking from Ningyuanjun, the whole sky was covered with fine blood, like a black and red fog.

Looking at that day, it has turned black.

Two hundred meters, one hundred eighty meters, one hundred and sixty meters... After one hundred meters, the speed of the Jurchen cavalry was increased to the maximum, and the formation that had previously been slightly sparse became denser.

The sound of horse hooves was like knocking into a person's heart, shaking his body.

The ground was shaking more and more, and the spearmen in the first two rows of spearmen half-squatting on the ground trembled uncontrollably, and the violent secretion of adrenaline made their minds blank.

They pointed their spear diagonally ahead and watched the enemy rushing towards them at an astonishing speed. Six thousand war horses, like six thousand ancient heavy tanks, made them so nervous that their mouths were dry, their hearts were beating flutteringly, and their palms were covered in cold sweat. They felt that the spear pole was slippery and could not grasp them steadily.

"Stay steady, keep calm, everyone keep calm, don't do anything, just wait for the other party to come over." The officers shouted loudly, as if using this method to vent their tension and fear in their hearts.

Victor and his men did not perform much better. With the advent of the Age of Hot Weapons, the impact of such a large number of cavalry in the European continent was almost impossible to see.

It was the first time they faced such a terrifying scene.

Boom boom boom boom!

The Jurchen cavalry rushed very quickly and soon collided with spear square formations, making violent movements.

Even though Daishan and Mangourtai were two miles away, even though the battlefield was filled with the roars of people and horses and the sound of cavalry and horse hooves were noisy, the two could still hear the crisp sound of the spear breaking.

Almost as soon as they met, the first row of spearmen in Ningyuan's army was knocked to the ground and could never stand up.

But the Ningyuan military formation did not collapse. The closely adjacent square formation was like a rock, resisting the Jurchens' tide.

The joy on Manguertai's face disappeared before it was revealed.

The strength and strength of Ningyuan's military formation once again exceeded their imagination!

The Jurchen cavalry's offensive was very fierce, and they went one after another to join the Ningyuan army's spear formation.

Although the spear in the hands of the Ningyuan army's spear soldiers was more than three meters long, they could first stab the spear head into the chest of the enemy cavalry. However, the huge recoil force still caused many spears to break in an instant, and some people were directly rushed to the mouth by the huge force and spurted blood into the air.

Ye Qiu's face trembled slightly, and then calmed down. Feng Hu didn't care about the casualties, but instead said excitedly: "This kind of exchange ratio, the Jurchens can't last long."

The phalanx of Ningyuan's army blocked the first wave of charge of the Jurchens, but the Jurchens really took the initiative this time, and the second and third waves of cavalry rushed over.

The power of the armored tank troops in the Cold Weapon Age is full of power at this moment.

The extremely layered impact caused the Ningyuan Army's phalanx to be weakened layer by layer.

The enemy's cavalry storm formation is too dense, so there is almost no need to aim or do anything. Just stabilize the spear. The enemy will hit the spear according to its huge inertia.

The huge force allows the spear to penetrate the bodies of war horses and war horse knights, and the recoil force will also cause a row of spears to break the tendons, lose the combat power, or even die.

But in general, the Jurchens suffered greater losses.

Under the continuous impact, the square formations were shrinking, but they remained unmoved.

Because before the battle began, all the officers kept reminding, "Those who do not retreat according to military orders will die!"

Retreat will lead to death, resistance may not lead to death, and even if the family dies, they can get pensions. It is such a simple idea that these Ningyuan soldiers burst out with huge energy and resisted the attacks of the Jurchen cavalry again and again.

Some Jurchen cavalry also passed through the gap between the two square formations and wanted to go around behind to attack. Moreover, due to the strong resistance of the spear phalanx, more cavalry were driven by the war horses under their crotch and drilled into the gap.

It was not these Jurchen cavalry that were afraid, but the war horses were spiritual. When they saw the spear tips that were as bright as forests in front of them, they were afraid.

So, he was uncontrolled and rushed towards the gap without spears.

"The effect is really good!" Ye Qiu's eyes lit up and he thought to himself: "Sure enough, beasts will also seek profit and avoid harm. Leaving these gaps can prevent the Jurchen cavalry from attacking the formation with all their strength. The war horse under their crotch will take the owner to a seemingly safe place!"

But the question is, are the gaps between these square arrays really safe?

Of course not!

These gaps are the essence of Victor's improved Macedonian square array. The distances of these gaps have been accurately calculated, about five meters.

This distance looks safe, as the spear is only three meters away.

But when the spearmen in the square formations on both sides stabbed at the same time, the Jurchen cavalry who rushed into the gap realized that they had no place to dodge at all, and there was no blind spot in the gap.

The Jurchen cavalry in the gap must face attacks from both sides. How can they resist? Just like a massacre, the Jurchen cavalry in the gap be assassinated in an instant.
