The first thousand one hundred and eighth chapter return (twenty-four)
There is no invincible army in the world, nor any formation that can win every battle. The most important thing is human.
Everyone understands this principle, but when you go to the battlefield, you still have to pay attention to mutual generation and mutual restraint.
The cavalry is called the king of the battlefield of this era, which does not mean that it is flawless.
The cavalry comes and goes as strong as the fan's power, and the impact of the cavalry when charging is also terrifying.
But except for armored cavalry, most cavalrymen have shortcomings in defense.
Their mobility is actually the price of sacrificing defense.
Relatively speaking, slow-moving infantry, especially heavy infantry, are far better than cavalry in terms of defense.
This kind of battle on the battlefield of the Great Plains, heavy infantry will definitely not be able to defeat the cavalry because of their slow movements.
But if this infantry has cavalry support, that's another matter.
Since I had some understanding of the Tang army's strength during the previous confrontation, the tactics were also targeted.
According to the idea of association rate, it is to rely on the advantage of military strength to launch batch attacks, and the army is divided into several teams of waves to charge.
After one wave retreats, the second wave follows, and then the third wave.
The purpose of the first wave of attacks was not to kill many people, but to attack the Tang army without firm foothold, which prevented the Tang army's cavalry from forming formations.
When the second wave of charge was again, the Tang army was suppressed by the advantage of numbers, so that they could not use the strengths of the regular army's forces and formations.
Wait until the third wave of the Green Wolf Cavalry goes up again, and you can fight a defeat.
Even if Tang Jun did not lose a big loss, he would at least be completely passive in a hurry.
The appearance of this infantry was not within the plan, and judging from their performance, it was not a temporary piece of mob.
Most of the members have received strict training, and at first glance they are Yingyang's old foundation in the Six Palaces of Hedong.
During the Great Sui Dynasty, Hedong's strategic positioning was the support point for fighting against the Turks.
As a buffer belt, Mayi is positioned as cannon fodder.
When the Turkic soldiers came, Mayi used their lives to delay the Turkic army's footsteps and waited for reinforcements from the court.
The troops in Hedong are the backbone of the fight against the Turks.
Whether it was the Turkic breakthrough of Mayi and continued to advance, or the imperial brigade of troops rushed to the Northern Expedition, they were inseparable from the relay point of Hedong.
Therefore, the training of the Hedong troops was conducted on the Turks.
The characteristic of the Turkic army is that cavalry is the leader, and the Hedong troops cannot be all cavalry, so targeted infantry training is inevitable.
Shield formation, arrow formation, spear formation resisting horses, these are the old ways for infantry to fight against cavalry, and they are the most skillful.
If you can arrange the formation so neatly and neatly, you will know that it must be the old soldiers in the Six Eagle Yang Mansions.
If these people say they can fight, they will definitely not be able to defeat these overwhelming cavalry.
However, as the first wave of Green Wolf Cavalry as the striker, it is still more than enough.
The Green Wolf Cavalry, who was in the forward attack mission, was actually the survivor of the previous Yangwu Fort Battle.
The three thousand suicide squads that were in charge of the battle were useless. Since the Golden Wolf Cavalry retreated from the battlefield, they retreated, and the number of people lost was less than a thousand.
But the remaining wolf riders did not get rid of the bad luck because of this, but were sent to death.
This is the terrible thing about the Turkish military law, and there is no lucky one at all.
If you catch up with you, you will die next time if you don’t die. There is no hope at all.
This time, the request for them was the same as before, and they fought until the last soldier.
You should have died in Yangwu Castle. You just live more these days. How long do you want to live?
No matter what kind of enemy you are in front of you, you have to grit your teeth and rush to me until the entire army is wiped out.
If they went to attack the Tang cavalry, they would definitely not be able to come back.
However, with its powerful impact force assault, it was enough to disrupt the Tang army's formation and cause certain casualties.
However, this force acts on the infantry formation, and its effect is much worse.
It’s not that these two thousand desperate green wolf cavalry will definitely not rush into the infantry phalanx. In fact, in most cases, infantry and cavalry are in a relationship of fear.
The huge kinetic energy brought by the high-speed running of war horses is fatal to act on people.
What's more, thousands of troops charged at full speed, and the sand and dust brought about cover the sky and the sun.
From a distance, it looks like several earth dragons flying towards me.
Not to mention the result of the fight, it is just psychological pressure that ordinary people cannot afford.
Many times, cavalry does not need to really collide with infantry. With this momentum, they can scare the infantry and flee in a panic.
Those who barely maintain the formation will inevitably become weak and their hands and feet become nervous and their movements will be deformed.
If the infantry formation wants to resist the cavalry, it also has extremely strict requirements on cooperation and positioning.
This is not good at performing well, so the so-called military formation will not work.
This is a battle between cavalry and infantry, which is often a competition of courage.
Whoever is brave will win, and the timid will lose.
Cavalry has the advantage of speed and war horses, and their courage is still bigger than infantry.
In theory, cavalry and infantry are still relatively dominant.
In particular, the Green Wolf Cavalry is not an ordinary cavalry. As the core armed forces in the command, their martial arts are also highly equipped and can be regarded as heavy cavalry.
The heavy cavalry collision is a high-consumption loss-making transaction, with less profit than investment, but the probability of collision is still very high.
The reason why the commander of the Green Wolf Cavalry had a headache was that his impact force and speed were inevitably affected by the successful collision, which was not conducive to the battles behind him. It was not that he really couldn't afford to offend this infantry.
It’s a pity that the infantry they encountered today are different from the past. These infantry were ready to not come back before going to fight.
Unlike the Zhibi army who relied on strict military laws to force people to die, these people were willing to die, hoping to kill a few more Turks before death to avenge their relatives.
They went to the battlefield happily not to grab credit, but to know that they can take revenge and wash away shame. Life has reached its last moment, so why not laugh?
A man is so determined to give up! He has faced the dead calmly, and there is no difference between your aura and military service to them! No matter how much smoke and dust the Green Wolf Cavalry brings, what kind of momentum it creates, it is meaningless to them.
All soldiers only do one thing and guard the formation! The Turkic attacks for them were nothing more than countless practices.
The only difference is that there may be a lot of deaths in this exercise.
As long as you figure this out, you don't have to worry too much about anything else.
The soldiers in the front row held their shields tightly to block the arrow rain of the Green Wolf Cavalry, while the soldiers in the back row held their spears and stabbed them hard! This formation even gave up the initial delay in shooting of bows and arrows, and directly entered the most cruel melee stage, which was the most harsh but threatened the death of the enemy and us.
The Green Wolf Cavalry kept firing arrows during the attack, but facing the Tang Army's wall-like shield formation, the power of the arrow was greatly reduced and the killing caused was limited.
Occasionally someone fell down by arrows, and someone took over the position and held the shield and held the spear tightly to ensure that the formation remained unmoved.
The sound of horse hooves became faster and closer, as if endless thunder was about to explode from under his feet.
The soldiers in the front row suddenly shouted: "Goodbye in the next life!"
Before he finished speaking, the front row of the Green Wolf Cavalry had already hit the shield formation hard! In fact, the Green Wolf Cavalry is not the only choice. In theory, the main advantage of cavalry over infantry is its mobility.
I can circle around and pull your energy. If you follow me, you will soon lose your energy.
If I don't turn around, I will definitely find the flaws, and I will die in a moment.
But the premise of this fighting method is to achieve it is simply a cavalry against infantry, rather than a cavalry against cavalry and infantry mixed forces.
A single army must have its own flaws. When facing mixed arms, this flaw will be reflected and affect the battle.
That's it now. If the cavalry bypasses the infantry phalanx, they have to change the direction of the attack.
But now it is an attack from thousands of troops. By changing direction, you can easily collide with friendly forces or interfere with friendly forces' offensive routes.
Even if you don’t care about these things, don’t you care about the Tang cavalry?
When you bypass the square formation, your own military formation will inevitably be in chaos. At this time, the Tang army attacked sideways, which would be a situation of silence.
Not to mention destroying the Tang army cavalry formation, I was beaten to no avail of the formation first, and maybe it would be a big defeat.
This infantry is really stuck in the place. No matter how unwilling you are, you can only deal with it in the stupidest way: break the deadlock with your strength and exchange your life for your life! The two armies that are determined to die collide together, and muffled sounds echoed on the battlefield with screams.
A warrior covered in body urged the horse to run at full speed, and its kinetic energy was not something that could be withstood by flesh and blood.
At most, the shield is to defend against bows and arrows. For such charges that are comparable to a strike of a rifle, the protection ability is almost negligible.
Under normal circumstances, infantry deals with cavalry by spear formation.
After all, horses are also spiritual animals. When they see so many spear heads with metallic luster, they dare not hit them up.
You may not be afraid of death, but horses definitely do not want to die. Therefore, cavalry and infantry are mainly focused on deterrence and rarely try their best.
But the Green Wolf Rider is not within this category.
They had dealt with the Han family for a lot and were cleaned up by the infantry formation many times.
If you suffer a lot, you will come up with a way to deal with it.
When it is really time to hit the formation, cover the horse's eyes, or train the horse to continue to impact the gun head in daily life.
In short, there are some ways to deal with infantry and not be scared by spears.
Now that these methods finally came into effect, the first row of Zhibi's Green Wolf Cavalry shouted and roared and rushed into the shield formation, and the spear in his hand stabbed towards the Tang army's large shield.
Tang Jun used his body to hold the shield and hit the opponent upwards! Two forces collided with each other, and then the man flew over and over with his flesh and blood!
