Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Page 1124

In the true sense, the two banners, which are blue and inlaid with blue, are entirely composed of Jianzhou Jurchen, and their military style is more inclined to heavy infantry on horses.

But now the two banners with blue and blue borders basically only have a name left. The soldiers inside are not all Han Chinese, but the combat style is almost the same as other cavalry troops in Ming Dynasty.

First, artillery fire washes the land, and then cavalry clears it. The general combat process is like this. The concept of simple ten thousand enemies and fierce generals is becoming less and less marketable. Instead, the concept of elite squad battles is more sudden.

Counting on the Zhenglan Banner and Xianglan Banner like this to help him catch barbarians as laborers, Meng Xianglin felt that he would not believe it unless his brain was kicked by a war horse!

After some silence, Wanyan Li said: "If you don't go to Commander Amin and simply rely on us to act, then the only way left is to control the Qingqi?"

Meng Xianglin said: "That's one way! Anyway, as you said just now, their sabers are not very good, and they can't even break through light armor, so why worry about it?"

After pondering for a while, Meng Xianglin continued: "They are basically a group of eight people now, and they don't pay attention to any formation when they charge up. If they don't come and go like the wind, they can't even compare with Jiannu.

The biggest disadvantage for us now is that the number of people is too small, and there is no way to cover them with arrow rain directly. Otherwise, it is estimated that it will be a problem of several rounds of arrow rain.

But it doesn't matter, Xiahou once taught us how to fly kites, let's fly their kites tomorrow! "

……

Melekhov Prokofey, the leader of this Cossack cavalry, felt like a dead dog.

In the past years, Prokofey led this group of Cossack cavalry from the Don River across the border between Europe and Asia, fighting against Tsarist Russia, fighting against the Ottoman Turks, and later fighting against the Poles, Prokofy His whole life is either in war or on the way to war.

But feeling his conscience, Prokofy can swear that he has never seen such a difficult small group of cavalry before him.

If it is necessary to say whether there is any army similar to this small group of cavalry, probably only the legendary Whip of God and the cavalry of the Golden Horde that later swept across Europe are similar to them.

Difficulty is the first label on them, and fearlessness is the second label on them.

When they first came into contact with them, it may be because they were not familiar with the Cossacks or they were too arrogant. The Cossack cavalry under their own did cause them some casualties, but only a few casualties.

What was even more irritating was the opponent's endless tactical response, which cost him more than 300 cavalry at the cost of more than a hundred people!

When it came to the end of the fight, those people had lost their minds, and many of them adopted the style of trading injuries for lives or even lives for lives!

It would be fine if the cavalry team only had these few hundred people, but if there were thousands or even tens of thousands of reinforcements behind them, the result would probably go in another direction.

In the future Tsarist Russia, will there be a foothold for the Cossack cavalry?

Especially the equipment on them made Prokofey jealous.

The knives in the hands of the Cossack cavalry are already considered good knives, which has been proved in all the wars in which the Cossack cavalry participated.

There are many kinds of war knives in the world, but only the Cossack cavalry knives are called "Eagle Claws"!He is the sword of the warrior!

It is made of fine steel smelted from Central Asian iron ore, with thick back and wide blade, deep arc blood groove, beautiful but fierce arc, eagle head-like copper-clad handle, and rear center of gravity, so that the Cossack cavalry can " Cut off the opponent's head like splitting vegetables!"

Wearing black cloaks and charging with Cossack cavalry swords, the Cossack cavalry was called "Eagle of the Don River Basin", but compared with that small group of cavalry, Prokofy felt that what he was leading was not a Cossack cavalry, but a group of beggars!

The cavalry on my side wore tall round curly hats, some wore black cloaks, and the weapons they held in their hands were also spears and sabers. Few people could use such things as muskets.

Those cavalrymen on the opposite side are good, they are armored from head to toe, everyone has a short musket in their hands, long horses are hanging on their horses, sabers are hanging from their waists, and even the horse's head is wrapped in a fucking iron sheet!

What's even more deceitful is that when the saber on my side hits their cavalry, it often just sparks a slip of sparks, unless it is cut on the unprotected places such as the neck or joints to cause damage to the opponent, but the opponent's saber is Can cut the cavalry on his side in two!

The treasured swords in the legend are nothing more than that, right?

Prokofy couldn't figure out what kind of country could allow cavalry to have such extravagant equipment, and could such cavalry be considered cavalry?

Prokofy, who was full of evil fire in his heart and had nowhere to vent, felt that it was necessary to change his tactics tomorrow, and simply encircle and suppress the cavalry on the opposite side.

Don't care about whether there are reinforcements behind them, and don't care about what kind of tactics they plan to adopt, just press the army up to surround and kill them, and just don't let them run away.

As long as you kill this small group of cavalry, their equipment will be yours, and you can completely arm your cronies, and then go grab more things and equipment!

As for the legendary Whip of God and the horror of the Golden Horde, with the temptation of the equipment in front of you, what is the horror?

Prokofey thought so, and actually did so, but the small group of cavalry on the opposite side reacted exactly the opposite of what Prokofey expected.

From the beginning to the end, Prokofy thought that this small group of cavalry would rush over to fight with him, but the fact is, this group of cavalry threw a shower of arrows, causing some casualties on their side, and then turned around and left. Ran.

Ran……

Prokofey doesn't care about whether the army is besieged or not now, how can he be besieged when everyone has run away?If we don't catch up with them, wouldn't we lose dozens of people in vain this time?Prokofy, who was furious in his heart, simply directed the team to catch up.

After the two sides ran from west to east for a few miles, the speed of the cavalry team on the opposite side gradually slowed down, and Prokofy was overjoyed.

The opponent has a lot of weapons and equipment, so the weight will be heavier, the horse needs to bear a higher load, and the physical strength will be consumed faster.

Now in this situation, it is clear that the opponent's horses are no longer able to run any longer. As long as they catch up with them, these cavalrymen like the Tatars will die!

The war horse was running forward quickly, but Prokofey slowly raised the saber in his hand, and kept shouting.

Meng Xianglin glanced back at the Cossack cavalrymen who were getting closer. He sneered and pulled out an iron lump from his waist. After pulling the iron ring off, he threw it to the ground, and then accelerated his horse speed.

The gangsters who followed Meng Xianglin also acted in the same way, and behind the distant figure was a piece of smoking iron bumps.

Prokofey was a little dazed. He didn't know what the iron lump Meng Xianglin and the others dropped was, and he felt strange about their sudden acceleration.

If they can suddenly speed up now, it means that they deliberately slowed down their horses just now, not that the horses under their crotches are already tired.

As for those smoking iron lumps, although he didn't know what they were, Prokofey still instinctively felt that something was wrong, and planned to turn the horse's head around those iron lumps.

However, it is impossible for a war horse that has already run to complete a U-turn in a short moment. This is why the cavalry's battlefield is chosen to be in an open and unobstructed area, so that the war horse can run away.

Accompanied by a loud noise, Prokofey, who was all flying by the horse, could still clearly see that the group of cavalry in the distance slowed down again and again, and came back from a distance. .

It's all over!

Prokofey is not stupid. Although the cavalry on his side are numerous and powerful, it is hard to say how much combat power they can maintain under such a sudden change. Since the people on the opposite side dare to come back, it means that they also have corresponding strategy.

PS: There will be another update in a while.

Chapter 845 Killing a Chicken with a Sledgehammer

After falling back to the ground heavily, Prokofey couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. The inexplicable annoyance in his chest was relieved, but the ensuing great pain made Prokofey bear it again. Can't help screaming.

Meng Xianglin, who came back after making a big circle, ran to a place not far from Prokofey before slowly stopping, and carefully looked at the Shura field in front of him.

Apart from the screams of Prokofey and his Cossack cavalrymen, the braying of war horses, and the howling of the cold spring wind, there was no other sound on the entire battlefield.

The crowd on the battlefield was divided into three parts, one part was Meng Xianglin and other Daming slave catchers, the other part was the Cossack cavalry who fell behind, and in the middle were the screaming Prokofy and a part of the Cossack cavalry.

The Cossack cavalry who fell behind were a little hesitant, their horses twitched their hooves uneasily, snorting from time to time, and the cavalry on their horses also looked at all this in amazement.

Should he rush over and kill the small group of cavalrymen, or retreat?

The adjourned deputy, Sergey Sha, didn't know, and couldn't make a decision.
