Chapter 97 Collision

All textbooks on cavalry applications in the North and South Military Academy do not encourage cavalry to charge with the target of cavalry. There is only one book called "Traveling the Desert Story" briefly mentioning what should the cavalry generals do when encountering this situation.

The author of "The Story of Stepping on the Desert" is Ma Fang. This book is not a military book in the traditional sense. It is a summary of the battle examples of the Ming and Mongolia border war between the 31st year of Jiajing, Ma Fang has been fifteen years old since the tenth year of Jiajing. In the 16th year of Jiajing, Zhou Shangwen, the general of Datong, served as the captain, until the 31st year of Longqing peace talks.

The reason why the veteran general compiled this military book was not to add textbooks to the martial arts lecture hall, but because the Nanyang literati wrote a large number of speech books and flowed into the hands of the martial arts lecture hall students. He really looked down on those heroic story books full of literati speculations, and did not want the most outstanding young generals in the empire to read unreal things all day long and lose their lives on the battlefield.

Unlike most speculative cavalry textbooks, other textbooks often put their hopes on "I am not afraid of him, I will be afraid, and there will always be fear." This is indeed in line with the real situation, but in the case of war, Ma Fang emphasized "What should I do if I really collided" because he really collided with Altan's armored cavalry.

It was Datong in the 40th year of Jiajing. Ma Fang from Xuanfu, who rushed to help and rescued the siege. He relied on the morning night to attack Altan's camp to win. Altan integrated his troops and retreated alternately, and personally cut off his back to withstand Ma Fang's attack. He retreated twenty miles and reorganized his might in an attempt to revenge.

At Tu'er Ridge and Yinlong River, the cavalry of the two armies fought against each other twice in an extremely rare manner.

Ma Fang said in the book that those who are generals should not expect the enemy to be brave. If they are brave, those who make up for the temple will tell you the outcome.

The meaning of this sentence is to make the cavalry generals take back their focus from the courage of both the enemy and us, and instead focus on weapons, armor, morale of soldiers, and combat skills, rather than just focusing on blood and courage.

There are always people who are better than you. The two teams of horse soldiers are fighting each other, which is something that no one can do.

The so-called superior is the belief that one will win.

In this regard, the Black Cloud Dragon Cavalry possesses, while his enemies possess more.

One hundred and seventy real Spanish knights led more than 400 light cavalry entourages, stomping with heavy spears and gallops hanging on the emblem of the family. The knights may be the most powerful tactical charge. In France and England, the knights would not charge like this, because the knights of those countries were not completely squeezed out by cheap infantry legions.

Since the Crusade brought back ancient Greek books, the retro Swiss phalanx of Spanish phalanx changed the war situation. The infantry reform has been more than a hundred years, and the knights' combat ideas have never changed, but they face more challenges, which has brought people's views on this class and troops back to the mortal world.

The knights are neither invincible heavenly soldiers who descend to earth, nor are they useless stupid and stupid men. They experienced ups and downs. When the phalanx first emerged, the knights retreated from the main force of the war, and became the key to deciding victory and defeat when the phalanx became the mainstream of war.

If we describe this cavalry team based on the organizational structure that the Ming Dynasty people are more likely to understand, they are more like one hundred and seventy hundred households leading the general flags under their command to go out alone, throwing the flag army behind, turning on the horses to face the charge.

The Spanish knights experienced more severe challenges than the knight class of any country in the Old Continent. This not only comes from the rapid development of their own infantry legions, but also from the long-standing enemy in the North African war - the cunning Moors.

Unlike the French who adhered to the spirit of chivalry, when the Spanish knights charged towards the Ming army approached the Ming army, they didn't know which knight in the battle group roared first, and then everyone roared, but the brave war cry was not so open and upright.

They were very heavy, and they rode a war horse that was taller and stronger than Chinese horses and charged with powerful horses. The horse's hooves stomped in the charge shocked the earth. In the shocking shock, their roars could be heard on the entire battlefield.

"Spain! Santiago! Punch their horses! Punch their horses!"

The black cloud dragon raised a long sword and galloped in the middle of the horse formation. The cavalry formed a front row of arrows all raised their cavalry spears, while the cavalry in the rear formation carried a large axe and a long sword. In the battle formation formed by nine hundred cavalry, only the flag officers held up the five-way battle flags and charged away with the sound of the hunting wind.

No one in the army mentioned their favorite handgun at this critical moment, and they all charged towards the enemy with the heroic posture of ancient warriors.

Black Cloud Dragon shouted at the Spanish and expressed his disdain with his eyes. The Beiyang cavalry was trained to charge in silence, and the accumulated momentum was not easy to leak. Only at the last moment could the supreme commander chant and issue military orders. Now, he is the supreme commander of the cavalry!

One hundred steps.

The flag of the flag officer in the battle formation slowly lowered, pointing his finger at the front of the war horses. The cavalry on both sides could see the faces of the enemy in the smoke and dust. They were astonished - no one dispersed!

The two armies realized this situation almost at the same time. At the end of the imminent collision, no officer issued any orders, but the distance between the war horses on both sides was slightly separated to meet the final collision.

The black cloud dragon in the Mercedes-Benz took a deep breath. They were finally going to fight the enemy in the stupidest form. The long sword in their palms turned slightly, and the left hand holding the reins turned around and held the hilt and held it above. When the cavalry on both sides were about to meet in close combat, he only issued a five-word military order and shouted: "Charge again!"

"Charge again!"

Bang!

The moment two strands of earth dragons collided with each other, no one could tell which side hit the enemy first. At almost the moment when people could not feel the flow of time, the sound of collision sounded one after another in front of the formation.

A spear exploded in the air and broke into wood chips.

Heavy figures flew up and fell.

The horses fell down and neighed.

Then he was shattered by the horse running past.

Almost at the moment of the fight, the riders with spears in front of the Ming cavalry fell down one after another. The Spanish knights' goals were too clear - they did not hit people, and the knights honed their skills to accurately pierce the enemy's throat during the competition and were used by them to kill horses.

At the same distance, the horse head came into contact with the spear earlier than the man. This was the tactic they summarized in the battle with the Moors. Now, the Ming cavalry suffered the same losses as the Moors.

The Ming cavalry was not very kind, and the Spanish knights who broke through the front line still maintained enough impact and hit the Ming army's heavy army composed of battle axes, bones and swords, and were cleanly and neatly swept off the horse.

The huge casualties were generated at the same time on two equally proud and stubborn cavalry teams. When both sides passed by and the corpses of people and horses were everywhere, the fallen soldiers who escaped by their elite weapons and luck swayed their bodies with their armor linings and stood up, and almost at the same time pulled out their weapons and slashed at enemies with different uniforms.

Two cavalrymen from the East and the West gathered again at the other end of the battlefield. The Black Cloud Dragon raised his hand stopped in the air. He slowly nodded to the high platform with an umbrella in the distance, and at the same time cast a pity look at those enemies who were no less brave than him.

Because he saw a rider with a flag on his back running dozens of steps from the high platform, waving the flag at the artillery position, and the artillery that had already pointed the artillery at his own people before charging, accurately let General Zhenshuo speak for him.
