Chapter 182 Heavy Riding

("readerFs").className = "rfs_" + rSetDef()[3]

The marching formation almost instantly became a defensive array. The hollow square formation of quadratic formations and pure bayonets do not need to worry about defense. Heavy armored infantry and armored spearmen are strong enough. They will always defend in front of the musketeers like rocks. If the musketeers are struck, it is useless to have musketeers alone. Firepower output is killing, but the core and foundation of the quadratic array are still heavy armored spearmen and sword players.

Only with the hollow square formation of bayonets can one independently complete the functions of defense and offense. Four companies in the team are complete musketeers. When they raise the bayonet that flashes cold light into the air, everyone looks at it.

The assembly was completed quickly, and the Mongolians quickly approached about two miles.

"They will soon be around and shoot arrows." The lances were covering the two wings and in front of the formation. If the Mongolians advanced in large quantities, the lances would retreat. They were heavy cavalrymen who rushed forward. Running back and forth was not the responsibility of the lances, and the mounts could not bear it.

A small number of hunting cavalry supported on both wings. They had already lowered their muskets. Their muskets had a range of attack power that was far above the Mongols' weak riding bows, and they were not worried about riding and shooting harassment.

"What?" Ma Wu looked shocked, and the expressions of Lin Nanxing, Nie Lei and others beside him were the same.

More than a thousand Mongolian cavalry appeared in the cavalry formation of thousands of people opposite. They did not roam around as usual, but instead galloped before the formation and formed a sharp pointed head.

"They want to rush forward?" Ma Wu almost glared his eyes, and the rest of the people had almost the same expression.

From the south of the desert to the north of the desert, and then to the river bank in the west of the grassland, there has never been a time when the Mongolians fought for a rushing formation.

It has always been a Lava warfare, harassment, archery, and raiding on both sides, trying to disrupt the position of the Shang army, and then win in the chaos. During cavalry war, it also uses the method of cavalry warfare with hundreds of people. It is also the old tactic of the Mongols, running back and forth, pulling the front line, and using mobility and cavalry advantages to win.

There was never a time when the Mongols had to fight against each other.

The lancer company in front of him brought a banner to confirm that they would hedge against the Mongols.

The opponent's main formation was the same distance as the Dragoon's main formation, and those with tacit understanding did not continue to move forward.

There were less than 200 lancers, and after the Mongolian cavalry on the opposite side approached, it was obvious that they were also pieced together heavy cavalry. A few war horses were wearing armor, most of them were wearing multi-layered mail and cotton armor. They all wore iron helmets, had erectile slings, arm guards, and iron mesh skirts. Of course, there were not as many armor as lancers, but they could barely be considered heavy cavalry.

The front row of the lancers holds a spear and a large sword, and the back row is made of a sabre, while the opposite heavy cavalry mostly holds a heavy weapon swinged by iron spears, maces, or Guduo.

As the two sides get closer and closer, this hedging war is inevitable.

The Shang regiment army would never retreat, and the Lancers decided to hedge directly without asking for instructions. The Mongolians needed to defeat and drive away the iron cavalry of these Shang regiment army, and then swallow the square formations like meat filling. Of course, they didn't understand, and the harder to chew were these square formations.

It has to be said that the Quetu Khan tribe has the blood courage and confidence that many large tribes in the south and north of Mohe did not have, and of course they also have the real cavalry tactics of their ancestors.

Genghis Khan's Mongolian soldiers were not a group of light cavalry who could only shout and shoot arrows. Yes, they would also be able to fight chaotic cavalry, and would also cut into the enemy's side and harass the enemy's back. However, they had never been afraid of fighting against hedge cavalry. A cavalry that was invincible across Eurasia must be a heavy cavalry that dared to fight against hedge and could break the enemy's formation head-on!

The main formations on both sides were tacitly approaching. Further away, some herders from tribes continued to follow. They tried their best to ride their horses to the high ground to observe the hedging battle in front of them.

The heavy cavalry began to accelerate.

The earth shakes, and the sky and the earth shake.

The heavy cavalry is an indescribable scene against the heavy cavalry. It is like a mountain and a wall, with iron cavalry thick armor in front of me, swords and guns in front of me, the earth shaking, and my friends shouted and roared like themselves. The horse's hooves gradually accelerated to the fastest, the grass and soil flew, and the rumbling sound was like thunder, and a hundred drums could not produce such a passionate music.

People were shouting, roaring, horses were neighing, and their bodies were trembling. The most violent run was running.

The knights stood up straight at the end and stabbed the opponent's horse or knight with the help of horsepower. As long as the person stabbed was stabbed, they would pierce through the body and die on the spot. Even the majestic war horses could only be pierced under huge impulse.

When fighting the horses were on the ground, they took the knights on the mounts out, and the iron-man-like cavalry flew past the air, then fell heavily to the ground, broken bones or trampled to death.

The lances have better protection, and have been subjected to the strictest and even cruel training. Their armor is thicker, the swords and guns made of fine iron are stronger and sharper, and their array is the strictest. Compared with the Mongolian heavy cavalry, they have no advantage in riding skills. However, everyone is connected with their partners around them. Their knees can be touched near the nearest place. Their forest-like spears and sabers seem to be used by one person. During the hedging, the Mongolian heavy cavalry was like rushing into the knife wall with a man and a horse. They were stabbed into the sword in an instant by the spear and the horses were broken. Even so, these Mongolian heavy cavalry still won the respect of the lances. After the hedging, they suffered heavy losses but did not collapse. The dead people and horses all over the ground were not visible.

There were too many sounds, and the two sides fought again after rushing against each other, and they were still as fierce as the first time. After five or six hedging, the ground almost bumped and did not continue to rush down. After the last rush, the Mongols finally collapsed. They did not continue to gather, but retreated to the wings in a mess. They were not afraid of death and injury, but each time, there was a exchange between more than a dozen people and one or two, which made these deathly desperate Mongolians more and more desperate. When they saw that their partners could not penetrate the enemy array at all and could only die in vain before the dense array of enemies, the deep despair was impossible to understand.

It was against the rules for a lancer officer to take off his iron helmet, but no one said anything. Many people did the same thing. While taking off their helmets, sweat flowed down from the edge of the iron helmet.

Everyone was sweating profusely, and the heat was obviously rushing upwards on the top of their heads.

Many lancers have shaved their hair. The bun does not affect the wearing of helmets, but it will definitely affect treatment and heat dissipation, and it will also make it easier to take a bath.

Many bare heads are filled with sweat, and people are like they are in steam.

"Command," the team officer shouted to the company commander: "Do you want to pursue them?"

"No need." The Lancer Company commanded: "Let them go. They are warriors and deserve the treatment of warriors. In addition, our war horses are powerless. Look, the hunting cavalry has come out."

A hunting cavalry riding a red horse rushed out of the military formation first. I don’t know if it was an officer or a sergeant. He rode a red horse and wore a red robe with red linings and painted red cotton armor on the outside. The hunting cavalry was at most wearing leather or cotton armor. They did not need thicker protection. The cavalry rushed out like a ball of fire, contrasting with the sunlight, bright and eye-catching.

After running forward for a while, the hunting cavalry returned to their horses. At this time, people could see more hunting cavalry riding out of the square formation. They were like a ball of fire, and the scorching people did not dare to look closely. This was a ball of fire. If the heavily armored lancers were as solid as rocks, it was a ball of fire, and any enemy could feel its violence and unstoppableness in front of them.

Seeing the hunting cavalry coming out, they also received clear instructions from the flag language. The lances began to return to the formation. On their wings were the Mongolian heavy cavalry running back in a mess. They rode back in groups of three or three, and the formation was chaotic and there was a crying sound. Everyone knew that the spirit of these northern barbarians had been completely defeated.

Behind the heavy cavalry were at least 300 corpses and a considerable number of wounded soldiers, twenty of which were from the lancers, and there were no wounded. After the Mongolians ran away, the lancers picked up all the injured companions. The bodies were not available for a while, but as long as they were victorious, they could rob their companions' bodies and get the best treatment. In this regard, the merchant army never disappointed their companions.

We will never abandon any companion. This motto has been engraved in the minds of the merchant army.

The lances ran slowly, they were very tired, sweating all over, and their arms were sore and soft. They had just kept stabbing their spears at their opponents. Many spearmen broke their spears during the first round of hedging. Later, they had to form a sword formation formed by sabers, but they were still invincible. The exchange ratio between the two sides was not on the same level at all. This is the difference between the cavalry and the nomadic cavalry after strict training. As Napoleon said, three French cavalry could not defeat two Mamulique cavalry, but one hundred French cavalry against one hundred Mamulique, the French cavalry would have an overwhelming victory.

Training, equipment, discipline, are the magic weapon for modern cavalry to win. Lancers have obtained this magic weapon, and they have won a refreshing and unreserved victory.

The command of the Lancer Company was very satisfied. He fought a battle with great pleasure, but he lost not many brothers and won a complete victory. At the same time, the opponent was no longer the rookie herders holding soft bows, and they were not one-sidedly massacred, but a group of good men wearing heavy armor and slashed each other hard. The Lancers won, but it was not easy. They fought against each other six times. After all, those northern barbarians were considered good men.

This war was enough to boast about several years, and it could make commanders and even bosses of the same level envious to death.

As a lancer, if you want to fight against the enemy with such a hard bridge and a hard horse, how rare is this opportunity?

The lances were also very considerate when they were dispatched by Ma Wu. They were already very tired from fighting. Although they still had Yu Yong, it would be best to take the same tired war horse to rest behind the formation. In this way, if they were forced to go on the battlefield after two quarters of an hour, both humans and war horses still had the strength to rush forward.
