Chapter 232 Something is wrong with you!

The Japanese cavalry array began to gradually accelerate after jogging for fifty meters.

More than 130 Chinese cavalrymen are still trotting and are not entering accelerating state.

Fujiwara showed contempt in his eyes. The distance between the two sides was close to 400. The poor Mongolian horse equipped by the Chinese dared not to accelerate. In just ten seconds, the big green horse he sat down would accelerate to the peak.

At that time, the cavalrymen with a speed of 60 kilometers per hour would cut the cavalry array that failed to accelerate to the highest speed as effortlessly as butter to pieces like butter.

Without the cavalry formation, the cavalry can only fight on their own. No matter how many people are, what's the use?

He has won this battle.

Fujiwara's arrogant self-righteousness is naturally reasonable. If you don't talk about him on riding skills and fighting will, the horses equipped by both sides are already very different.

The Japanese army's war horses were commonly known as Eastern Horses, and were not local horse breeds, but were carefully cultivated.

This war horse cultivation is not a overnight success, it has gone through an extremely long process.

Since the Meiji Restoration, the rising Japan attaches great importance to the cultivation of war horses. The local horses in Japan are also Mongolian horse breeds. Perhaps because of the "different" body attracting each other in the island countries, the body height of the Mongolian horse (the vertical distance from the apex of the armor to the ground) was only 1.35 meters lowered again when it arrived in Japan, but it was only 1.3 meters.

Therefore, the Japanese government began to introduce Arabian horses, thoroughbred horses, and Anglo Arabian horses, and used these horses to cross them with local horses. After decades of hard work, it finally cultivated the famous Oriental Horse that belonged to Japan.

Only military horses with a height of 1.53 meters, a weight of 460 kilograms, and without burdens of meat are qualified to become cavalry war horses. Those who fail to choose can only be artillery, baggage, or pack horses.

In contrast, the Mongolian horses riding by Chinese cavalry were only 1.35 meters tall, the heaviest one was only 360 kilograms, and the maximum speed was less than 50 kilometers per hour. All indicators were far from the Eastern Yang horse.

Of course, although Chinese cavalry chose Mongolian horses as war horses, there were helpless actions, Mongolian horses also had their advantages.

This type of horse does not need to eat fine grains, and eat whatever food in any season. It is also hard-working and not afraid of the cold, and has extremely tenacious vitality.

To put it bluntly, it is easy to support. This feature is most suitable for the current national conditions of China.

Japanese Oriental Horses will lose weight if they don’t get some food for a day, resulting in more food and horse grains that Japanese cavalry usually carry than people’s food, which is completely precious.

In addition, Mongolian horses have an unparalleled advantage in long-distance marching. In the Northeast, the cavalry once marched for ten consecutive days, reaching 100 kilometers a day. If it were replaced by Japanese Oriental Horses, it would never be possible.

However, these characteristics have nothing to do with the current battlefield. Cavalry duels rely on rapid increase in short distance speed and the weight of the horse itself. If you avoid the collision between two horses, you will naturally take advantage of height and weight.

The war horse breeds are already at an absolute disadvantage, not to mention that the Japanese cavalry formation is already accelerating, while a group of Chinese cavalry are still walking forward in a slow walk.

"Boom! Boom!" The sound of horse hooves like thunder spread throughout the wilderness.

The stimulating Chinese cavalry all burst out from behind the heads, and the horses sitting down were also stimulated and sniffed in a terrifying manner, and the horse's hooves couldn't help but speed up.

"Stay calm, keep calm, listen to my order!" Gong Shaoxun glanced at the face next to him and looked at Tang Dao in front of him with a cold look.

The cavalrymen with some palpitations stroked the necks of restless horses sitting down, and tried their best to calm their hearts.

"Brother, the Japanese have accelerated." The young soldier couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"What a panic? The commander doesn't give orders to sprint, so there is a reason for him." The veteran looked forward without looking sideways and shouted coldly.

The squad leader's calmness calmed the young soldier's somewhat panicked heart.

However, he didn't know that the veteran was holding the palm of the Liao Zao Thirteen Cavalry's Lair tightly, and it was full of slipperyness.

The veteran trusted his commander, but he still had no way to control his fear when facing the Japanese cavalry's rushing forward.

The distance between the two sides has reached 300 meters, and the Japanese cavalry has entered the final acceleration stage.

Looking from afar, it was like a cloud of dark clouds rolling across the street, rushing overwhelmingly.

The ground seemed to be trembling.

However, Gong Shaoxun, Tang Dao and the two cavalry company commanders, who were at the forefront of the cavalry line, were still pressing their speed tightly, and the Chinese cavalry were still jogging.

250 meters!

200 meters!

"gun!"

With Fujiwara's broken roar and his movement of holding a gun forward with his legs tightly clamped his horse's belly, the Japanese cavalry raised their own rifles one after another.

This is a conventional tactic before the cavalry showdown. From the beginning, the tactic of the slashing with a sabre was already outdated after having hot weapons.

A distance of 200 meters is enough for the cavalry to shoot bullets in the cavalry first and then pull out the saber hanging on the horse's belly.

"Avoid!" After Gong Shaoxun roared, he turned sideways, hiding his whole body under the horse's belly, showing excellent riding skills.

Some of the Chinese cavalry lay on the back of the horse, while others also imitated their commanders, and their whole bodies were hanging on the side of the horse's belly.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" After a gunshot, at least ten Chinese cavalrymen fell under the horses, and some war horses were hit by bullets. They neighed and roared. Regardless of the efforts of the cavalry, their four hooves ran out of the array. After running for 20 or 30 meters, they fell to the ground with all their strength.

The cavalry who rolled down and got off the horse had no intention of getting up and running, but rolled and crawled to find the nearest ditch to him.

That was the only place where he could survive. Otherwise, he would have to wait for the Japanese cavalry to arrive, and he would have to be broken by his own war horses.

Once the cavalry enters the state of combat, they will never stop for anyone, nor will the supreme commander. Those who are caught in the charge will have a chance of death of more than 90%.

Either you die from falling or you are trampled to death by horse hooves.

The Japanese cavalry have good shooting skills. On the back of the high-speed charge, they can still hit targets that are also moving 200 meters away. Give them another chance to shoot, and perhaps the more than 130 Chinese cavalry they face can be on par with their strength.

However, they have no time, and the Chinese cavalry that has been activated will not stop.

"Abandon the gun! Draw the sword!" Fujiwara Ichi's wrist slightly turned his wrist and inserted the short-lived gun into one side's gun bag, then pulled out the saber on the other side and pointed it forward.

That set of actions was so skillful that it could be called beautiful. Even the cavalry captain who had been in the army for more than five years had to admire this precious second generation. Gilded is gilded, but they definitely have the ability.

If you can withdraw your guns and draw your swords without any stagnation at high-speed horses, the entire cavalry corps will never exceed ten people.

Most cavalry either took several seconds to insert the cavalry into the gun bag, or simply threw the cavalry away and pulled out the saber.

If the battle is won, you can pick up the rifle again. If you fail, it will naturally be useless to ride the rifle.

The Japanese also judge the situation, and they are not completely stubborn and stubborn. Especially, they are noble cavalry, can they compare with those local infantrymen?

Losing a gun is considered a ball!

The distance between the two sides was close to 150 meters. The speed of charging at the Eastern Yang horse at full speed was just between two breaths and could enter the Chinese cavalry array with just rising speed.

However, Fujiwara Motoichi's eyes did not have the confidence and contempt he had before, and his intuition made him feel something was wrong.

How could a cavalry that could take the initiative to walk out of the woods and engage in cavalry battles with him so unbearable? It did not start to accelerate until this time of death?

Could it be that they have any conspiracy?

However, no matter how bad it feels, it is now in the state of charge. Even if there are already a sea of ​​swords and fires ahead, he has to rush.

If it is a sea of ​​fire, then it is flattened; if it is a mountain of swords, then it is chopped.

Fujiwara's eyes gradually calmed down, and the knife in his hand tightened.

However, the next moment, the calm eyes that had just calmed down.

"Despicable!" Fujiwara Motoichi's roar sounded.

He himself was on one side of his body, his whole body was hanging in the air, hiding under the belly of a high-speed horse.

The formation of the Chinese cavalry suddenly changed and spread toward the wings, as if they were about to avoid the Bingfeng of the Japanese cavalry.

This was originally an extremely wrong choice. The war horses charge at high speed, but it does not mean that they cannot turn. The speed of the cavalry that can be avoided will decrease again. Isn’t that seeking death?

But the sudden lifting of guns by the cavalry in the front row was the main reason why the proud Japanese nobles hid themselves in a group.
