A group of cavalry with black pennants circled out from behind Guihua City and charged out from the east. They did not attack the Beijing camp that had rushed to the bottom of the city. Instead, they circled the arc and rushed towards the flanks of the Beijing camp. .
Yang Fan had already been thinking about the only arriving reinforcements, the cavalry from Alxa Wanhu.
"Although the first five regiments of the Beijing camp are all equipped with captured war horses, they are at best mounted mobile infantry and have no ability to fight enemy cavalry. This needs to be trained slowly. Let's go." Yang Fan said .
Zhang Shize said: "I have been gearing up for a long time. The fifteen hundred cavalry I brought are all my family's most elite servants. They were all selected by my grandfather from the retired cavalry from the border army."
Jiang Bingzhong said: "Commander, I have only five hundred servants. However, we are not afraid of death and dare to fight tooth and nail. Please allow us to take the lead and fight a bloody path for the army. Open up a breakthrough."
Yang Fan did not expect that Jiang Bingzhong was usually a taciturn person. I always obey orders and don't take the initiative to give advice to those who give me advice. He seemed to come with a learning attitude. Carefully observe Yang Fan's means and methods of leading troops. Learning all the details.
At the most critical moment of the battle this time, Jiang Bingzhong had the smallest number of servants, and his combat effectiveness was probably not as good as Zhang Shize's. After all, where is the strength of the British government? Dingxihou Mansion is incomparable. Although the Jiang family is awesome, they are still a big step away from the Dukes.
Zhang Shize said: "My soldiers have no chance to train along the way. Since Chiang Kai-shek wants to take the lead, I will take the sons of the British government and follow closely behind. Fanzi, how about you hold the battle for us."
Yang Fan shook his head and smiled bitterly. As long as he is a disciple of Wu Xun, there are few who do not have the dream of being a hero on the battlefield. He took good care of them along the way. If they had no credit at all, it would be hard for them to explain when they return. However, now we are not just following behind to take credit. This is a powerful enemy who really wants to fight hard.
Yang Fan thought for a moment and agreed. But he added: "You can lead the charge, but you must wear plate armor."
Zhang Shize and Jiang Bingzhong readily agreed.
Soon, the steel plates of the city wall were opened again, and a large number of cavalry filed out of the city. Six thousand cavalry formed three successive groups.
The first cluster is a triangular array of five hundred people.
The second cluster is a horizontal line of three 500-man phalanxes composed of 1,500 people.
The third group is the four thousand cavalry led by Yang Fan. Five rows were formed to ride on the wall, with eight hundred people in each row.
Both Zhang Shize and Jiang Bingzhong had seen a group of servants in training forming a fence. But they can't learn. This first requires strict discipline and cruel training. Otherwise, it won't be assembled at all.
Five rows ride on the wall, each row is thirty meters apart. When the fire is actually taking place, the distance between the two teams will be increased. Each group of ten people in the horizontal team will form an independent team, and the distance between the two teams will be about ten meters. The second row behind the wall is arranged facing the gap in the front row, and each team is also separated by ten meters horizontally.
This formation leaves space for the enemy to rush through and unleash multi-layered wall-mounted firepower. Otherwise, if they collide directly, it will become a big fight.
Wuyalhuntaiji rode on a white horse decorated with gold harness, waved his whip and shouted loudly: "Warriors of Alxa, rush over with me and defeat these Ming cavalry. Let them see , who is the master of the grassland?"
"Hula, hoola"
There were cheers one after another, and the Alxa people's cavalry swept forward like a raging wave.
Behind Jiang Bingzhong, five family generals, Jiang Cunren, Jiang Cunyi, Jiang Cunli, Jiang Cunzhi, and Jiang Cunxin followed closely behind. They all originally carried their own armor, which was fish scale armor.
However, when I came to Jingying, I found that the plate armor provided by Yang Fan was several levels better. They also put on plate armor one after another.
At this time, Jiang Bingzhong was holding a three-pointed two-edged sword, at least charging forward. Yang Fan rubbed his teeth while watching. Isn't this the weapon of Erlang Shen in Journey to the West? I didn't expect it to happen in reality.
What Yang Fan didn't know was that there was indeed such a weapon in history. It appeared in the Ming Dynasty period in my country. It is said to have evolved from the "棹 (yin shield) knife" of the Song Dynasty. There are two obvious differences in its shape. There is a clear inheritance relationship between cultivating knives.
The three-pointed two-edged sword is a kind of Qimen weapon. Relatively rare. Yang Fan's eyes were opened this time.
Careful observation reveals that it has a special shape and is divided into two parts: the blade and the handle.
The blade is unique, with edges on both sides. And it has three very sharp tips at the top.
The length of the blade is about 30 to 40 centimeters. This strange weapon is actually more suitable to be called a sword than a knife. Because those with two edges are generally called swords.
However, in the Ming Dynasty, three-pointed and two-edged knives were classified as knives. Its handle is very long, reaching about two meters, and is usually made of wood.
In terms of use, it can be picked, shoveled, or stabbed in battle. It is similar to a long halberd and has rich uses. However, this thing is much heavier than the Square Heavenly Halberd and the Green Dragon Halberd. After all, the halberd in space-time is just one spear plus two, or a crescent moon.
The three-pointed two-edged knife is a solid piece of iron. More than thirty centimeters long and ten centimeters wide. Not much lighter than an axe. You can't play without a lot of strength.
Yang Fan looked at his five generals again. All of them were holding the same weapon. It seemed that this thing was passed down from the old Jiang family.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Bingzhong's Jiang Jiajun collided head-on with Alxa's vanguard.
Jiang Bingzhong suddenly lifted the three-pointed two-edged sword that was tilted forward, turned in a circle, and clamped the war horse. The war horse immediately accelerated and rushed towards the Alxa people at high speed.
At this time, the first echelon of the Alxa people was also composed of warriors. Those who can find themselves in a losing position in a cavalry charge are all warriors.
Turigen and Wugenqi are two centurions, they are both warriors. One of them holds an iron whip and the other holds a mace. Start over.
Jiang Bingzhong often heard Yang Fan talk about the bravery of Mongolian Mongols, and he had long wanted to compete with them. At this time, he rounded up the three-pointed two-edged sword and waved it towards him.
Turigen controlled the horse with one hand and picked up the iron whip with the other. He bent forward to block the three-pointed two-edged sword that came down. He had never seen such a weapon, but it looked very heavy. He was also concentrating on it first, pouring all his strength into his right arm.
With a whoosh, the three-pointed two-edged sword was lowered by one foot and passed under his leaning body. Unexpectedly, Jiang Bingzhong's move was a feint. Even if it is scratched from below, there is no need to worry about the iron whip hitting you. Because the iron whip is only one meter long, and the three-pointed two-edged sword plus the spear at the tail is a full two and a half meters long.
Turigen's block failed, but after the three-pointed two-edged sword passed by, he slashed horizontally on the unprepared Wugenqi's waist on his right side. The heavy blade directly cut Wugenqi's waist into two pieces.
