1315 The Showdown with the Winged Cavalry

With the order, although it was still dawn, the army began to set up camp. The infantry were busy and the cavalry unloaded their armor. Of course, some cavalry were spread out from all directions, thinking that it was the eyes and ears of the army.

Vadislaw IV led his generals to inspect the camp. Seeing the soldiers taking action slowly, he didn't care much. It took several days for the Ming army to do anything in Moscow, and it was already quite cautious that he would take defensive measures now. It is estimated that there will be tough battles to fight in the future, so at this time, we should not demand too much from these soldiers.

He had this idea, let alone others. Many soldiers were chatting while working.

"What do you think of the Ming army? Is it the same as the Mongolians before?"

"It is said that no, a cousin in the Netherlands said that the Orientals are very cowardly, and they all have fleets out, even if they just grab them!"

"No, if this is the case, how could Tsarist Russia be so scared? Inviting the army of several of our countries to help them will cost a lot, right?"

"I don't believe it very much. Doesn't it mean that the army has appeared in Moscow? This came too quickly, and it shouldn't be bad!"

"Who knows, it may be that the rumors have expanded!"

“…”

Similar to these soldiers, on the side of the Winged Cavalry, they were resting and maintaining their horses, and were also curious about the Ming army from the Far East.

"This Ming army came so fast, it has a bit of the style of our winged cavalry!"

"When you meet me again, you must let them taste the power of our Winged Cavalry!"

"Yes, our winged cavalry is the strongest. It would be fine if the Ming army didn't come. If you dare to come, you must let them know what the real cavalry is!"

“…”

A major boost to the rise of Poland was the Winged Cavalry. It can be said that the Winged Cavalry fought in the south and north of Poland, and often fought with less and made great achievements. So much so that in later generations, many Winged Cavalry were praised, believing that the Winged Cavalry was the most powerful cavalry in the world at that time.

It is undeniable that the winged cavalry is indeed strong. In their battles with Sweden, the Principality of Moscow and the Ottoman Empire, they often win more than lose less and show their power. However, if you carefully analyze each war, you will find that many wars that win more with less are not how strong the winged cavalry is, but that they can only say that the opponent is too weak.

For example, the Battle of Crushen between Poland and Tsarist Russia was a pig-like opponent that made the reputation of the winged cavalry. There were also the Battle of Kilholm and the Battle of Teriqianna. In these two battles, the Polish winged cavalry did defeat the opponent's cavalry, but the opponent's infantry was eventually defeated by Polish artillery.

As for the famous Battle of Vienna, the Winged Cavalry not only attacked after almost a day of fierce battle between the Ottoman army and the Shinra coalition infantry, but also because of the scattered military discipline and busy robbing the spoils, the main force of the Ottoman army was able to evacuate the battlefield.

At this moment, they were all chatting proudly, and suddenly, they felt something was wrong and looked in the same direction.

In the distance, there were more than ten winged cavalrymen who were rushing back quickly. If it were just this, it would be nothing. The key is that behind them, there were cavalrymen in red uniforms chasing them. The elite cavalry of riding is even better than the proud winged cavalry.

Just under everyone's noses, the pursuers shoot arrows from time to time, but they can hit the winged cavalry who fled back at high speed.

Without warning, Vadislaw IV's face immediately became serious and she shouted for alert.

So the Polish infantry immediately put down their work and were busy wearing helmets and armor to prepare for combat. The Winged Cavalry was no exception. Some of the Winged Cavalry, who were always on the lookout, immediately rushed out to pick up their companions.

Seeing this, the pursuer did not continue to attack, but turned a corner and circled the Polish army far away.

At this time, according to the description of the person who fled from Moscow before, Vadislaw IV knew that the one who was circulating red military uniforms was the Ming army from the Far East!

Seeing the exquisite riding skills of this team of Ming army, he couldn't help but cast a shadow in his heart.

The rescued winged cavalry rushed to Wadislaw IV, rolled down from his horse, and gasped and replied loudly: "Report, Your Highness, the Ming army... The main force of the Ming army is coming here!"

"What, why is it so fast?" Vadislaw IV was a little unbelievable. He thought it was just a scout of the Ming army, but unexpectedly, even the main force of the Ming army came over?

Before the winged cavalry could answer, Vadislaw IV could already feel the earth trembling, and the sound of thunderous horse hooves from far to near. Hearing the sound, he looked up and saw a red line in the distance that had appeared in his field of vision and rushed straight towards him.

At this moment when he understood, Vadislaw IV's face turned pale, but after all, he had experienced the battle to protect the country, so he immediately ordered the entire army to prepare for war.

In fact, when I saw the scouts chasing, the Polish army had already begun to reorganize. However, it still takes time to put on the armor and form a tight formation from the original state of camping.

Vadislaw IV looked at his army, then looked up at the red ocean flying in the distance, and his body trembled slightly.

"Your Highness, it's too late. You can leave first, and the last one will be cut off!" A general suggested loudly with a serious expression.

When Vadislaw IV heard this, he shook his head and ran away like that, he couldn't do it.

When the winged cavalry generals on the side saw it, they immediately reported: "Your Highness, please allow our winged cavalry to stop the enemy and buy time for the infantry!"

If you don't run away, that's all.

When Vadislaw IV heard this, he nodded immediately, and had no time to talk nonsense.

The winged cavalry general obviously knew this and didn't talk nonsense. He immediately rushed back and shouted: "Winged cavalry, come with me to meet the enemy!"

This winged cavalry is obviously also an elite force. He does not need much order and immediately follows behind his commander and advances while forming a team.

Row after row, team after group, soon, less than three thousand winged cavalry had formed a camp while they were marching.

The general of the Winged Cavalry turned around and immediately raised his arms and shouted: "Winged Cavalry, you will win!"

Behind him, a thunderous sound suddenly came: "I will win!"

Behind them, the infantry that witnessed the winged cavalry greeting the enemy also shouted and cheered for them: "The winged cavalry will win!"

Whether it is the infantry or the cavalry, they all have strong confidence that the Winged Cavalry has not encountered a real opponent on this Eastern European plain! This time, although it is an enemy from the Far East, they still have to know the power of the Winged Cavalry.

The horses began to accelerate slowly, and these winged cavalry consciously began to form a team of about 200 people. Each winged cavalry had knees next to the knees, forming two densely arranged horizontal lines, and long hollow cavalry spears began to stand up forward. At their heads, two rotary flintlock spears were inserted, and Polish sabers were also equipped with Polish sabers. This was intended to be used for melee after using the long cavalry to attack the enemy with a fatal blow.

In the past, the winged cavalry could use this to deal with the enemy with a fatal blow, and defeat the enemy! This time, there should be no exception.

When Vadislaw IV saw that the formation had been completed, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief!

The 8,000 cavalry led by Li Dingguo himself was charged in the distance. He saw through the telescope that a cavalry was coming out of the Polish army, and it was a fence-like charge. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart and immediately began to issue orders.

Then, the formation of the Ming army began to change. The light cavalry in front was spreading. Relying on the large number of people, it slowly spread, just like a beast opening its mouth, trying to eat the enemy in front of me in one bite.

When Vadislaw IV in the distance saw this, he was not surprised but happy. The cavalry hedged, and it was obvious who was stronger and could break the opponent's formation. Now the Ming army has taken the initiative to spread, so wouldn't it be that it exposed its weaknesses? It seems that the Ming army from the Far East is just like this!

He was thinking this way, and suddenly felt something was wrong. He quickly looked at it again, and couldn't help but be shocked. The winged cavalry had always been proud of the fence-style charge, but he actually saw it in the Ming army camp. What's more important is that the abdomen of the Ming army camp was actually the fence-style charge of the heavily armored cavalry.

Including those winged cavalry who were charging, they were like their kings, and they were very happy to see the Ming army's response strategy, thinking that they could teach the Ming army a lesson. But when they saw the Ming army's real response strategy, especially the Ming army would even charge on a fence, they were all very shocked.

For a long time, the opponents of the Polish winged cavalry were generally Western European breastplate cavalry and carbines. They were accustomed to the rigid tactics of riding rows of people to launch firearms and then rushing back to the rear of the squadron to load. The bold fence-style charge of the winged cavalry can always defeat them.

Now, the Ming army actually has their ace tricks. From a glance, it seems that the other party is well-equipped, and if it hits it, it will be easy to suffer.

They naturally didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen liked to read online articles in later generations. He once read an online article called "Fa Qing". The protagonist in it had a fence-like charge, and it seemed that he would be invincible when he used it. He naturally remembered this in his heart and raised this idea at the right time. How powerful is there? There are so many cavalry generals in the Ming Dynasty. You can tell at a glance that it is good to use, but not good to use it, which is a natural thing.

From this we can see that it is really beneficial to read online articles when you have nothing to do, especially those who travel through history. Maybe one day, if you really travel through time, you will have some capital!

Without saying gossip, the Winged Cavalry saw that the Ming army could do this move, and was shocked, and the two sides became closer and closer. At this moment, they suddenly realized that it seemed that the Ming army did not have long spears, but each of them was holding a short rod, which made them a little confused. They wondered if the Ming army's mind was broken and they actually used the short rod to deal with the long spears on their side? If this is the case, wouldn't it be God's blessing!

However, when they got closer, the people with good eyes saw the short sticks held by the heavy armored cavalry of the Ming army, and they suddenly understood, was this a firearm? Although they didn't understand why the Ming army did not use a cavalry first and then a firearm, at least they vaguely felt that the Ming army would never be stupid!

While they were thinking, the light cavalry that had dispersed from the Ming army had approached them, and they saw these Ming soldiers start to shoot bows and arrows and firearms.

"Bangbangbang..."

“Mush…”

In the lively situation, the winged cavalry that were charging in the group fell off their horses one by one. In this case, there were basically no life. What’s more important is that these winged cavalry who were shot and arrowed often disrupted the charge formation of their remaining winged cavalry. Although they were determined to fight back against the Ming army passing by their winged winged, the enemy on the front was the most critical enemy. In addition, they had few people, so they could only grit their teeth. Regardless of the blows caused by the Ming army on both sides, they tried to maintain their formation and rush hard.

I have to say that the Polish winged cavalry is indeed powerful. If it were replaced by ordinary cavalry, the formation would definitely be messy under the continuous attack of the Ming army. Maybe it would be impossible to withstand the pressure and flee. However, the winged cavalry did not.

Seeing this, Vadislaw IV was proud and also felt particularly painful. No matter what, the winged cavalry would be hurt after this battle. At this time, he was a little regretful and felt that he should bring out the remaining winged cavalry.

However, he didn't care about regret, and the Winged Cavalry used their glory to buy time for the infantry, and could not delay it. He immediately urged the infantry to complete the assembly quickly.

In just a moment, the cavalry in the distance was almost in front of him. Vadislaw IV quickly looked up and saw that he was about to cut off the brave winged cavalry and break through the Ming army.

At this time, all the winged cavalrymen were also cheering up, holding the hollow cavalry in their hands tightly, preparing to collide with the heavy armored cavalry of the Ming army.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer!

But at this moment, at the command of someone in the Ming army camp, smoke suddenly emerged from the camp of the heavily armored cavalry of the Ming army, and then the dense "bang" sounds were heard. Anyone with experience knew that it was the Ming army's firearms that opened fire.

Almost at the same time, the charge formation of the winged cavalry was bitten by a large bite like a cake. The winged cavalry rushing in front fell to the ground, and a large area fell, directly disturbing the charge of the winged cavalry behind, and the formation suddenly became messy.

The short sticks in the hands of the heavily armored cavalry of the Ming army were actually three-eyed guns, or even four-eyed and five-eyed guns. However, unlike in the past, this has been transformed into a flintlock device, so there is no need to stop and fire. Of course, when the short charge is just now, there are flintlocks that do not light the fire, so it will be a bad idea. The firearms that light the fire are fired together, and the firepower covers the force, which can just make up for the defect of a small number of guns not firing and ignition.

After the heavy armored cavalry of the Ming army fired a barrage, they did not use other weapons, but used the three-eyed gun as a hammer and swung it up to hit the winged cavalry that were suddenly hit hard and were in chaos.

This scene happened suddenly, and immediately stunned Vadislaw IV. No matter what he did, he never expected that the Ming army from the East had so many means that the winged cavalry that he was proud of had almost no power to fight back.

Looking at the Ming cavalry, it was like mercury pouring down the ground, and there was almost no obstacle, and it destroyed the winged cavalry formation. The familiar backs with wings disappeared into the red ocean.

Not only him, but even the infantry gathering were stupid. They had always been full of confidence in the winged cavalry, but what they saw before, the invincible winged cavalry in Eastern Europe could not stop the offensive from the Far East Ming army.
