Queding Quyang's strategy is correct and very smart.
It is impossible for him to have a thorough understanding of how to use cavalry, what their tactics are, and how to arrange their troops in a single click.
But at this moment, he undoubtedly found the enemy's weakness and found the key weakness.
I am going to attack your rear army now, but I still have cavalry left on the front army.
Your heavy shield hand is limited. If you go to the back, then I will attack your front army. If you don't go to the back, I will attack your rear army and kill your commander.
Ning Wushuang and the generals around him also saw this scene.
The generals were shocked and said,
"No, Commander, the enemy is coming around to attack us. Quickly order the heavy shield soldiers to withdraw to defend against the enemies in the rear!"
Ning Wushuang shook her head quietly and said,
"Then we'll fall into the trap. Our infantry relies on a tight battle formation that's immovable to resist cavalry. Once we let the heavy shield troops come behind us, our formation will be in chaos in a hurry, and our army will be doomed."
"Then what should we do? Let the enemy troops rush over?"
Zhou Shun frowned and suddenly had an idea and said,
"Commander, let's move the chariots across quickly and form a chariot wall in front of us to resist the enemy's attack!"
However, Ning Wushuang shook his head again and said,
"Chariots are not a city wall, unless we have a lot of chariots, which can be arranged in several rows, and the canines are intertwined, and they are as stable as a mountain.
Otherwise, our more than 100 tanks would not be able to withstand the enemy's charge.
At most we can block the front ones, but the barbarians are not afraid of death. They can knock down the chariots in one wave and cause chaos. We still can't stop the cavalry behind.
On the contrary, our army-breaking crossbows will be washed away by the enemy and unable to form a powerful blow. "
"Oh, then this won't work, and that won't work either. How can we resist the enemy?"
Zhou Shun was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
"It's up to us to hold off the enemy!"
Ning Wushuang said,
"After the order is passed, the sword and shield soldiers and the archers change positions. The archer is in the center and shoots the enemy. The sword and shield soldiers resist the enemy.
Remember what Nie Chen taught us about how to fight against the enemy: roll the donkey, cut off the horse's legs, don't be afraid of death, use your life to fill it, if an infantryman can be replaced by a cavalry, that's a bloody profit! "
"As you command!"
Ning Wushuang gave the order, and the messenger immediately waved the flag. The sword and shield soldiers and archers in the rear army immediately changed their positions and faced the south.
The enemy army came to the south of the army and launched an attack on Ning Wushuang.
The chariot at the front immediately started to move, divided into two teams, and started to roam to both sides. The coachman drove the chariot, and the heavy crossbowmen on the vehicle fired arrows non-stop, attacking the two wings of the enemy cavalry. attack.
The enemy cavalry formed a dense formation, and the broken crossbows were running and firing. Each arrow could always kill an enemy.
The chariot is equipped with a military-breaking crossbow. While its power remains unchanged, it is also more flexible.
According to Nie Chen, this is a tank on the battlefield.
There was a continuous barrage of crossbow fire on both sides. Queding Quyang watched people falling off their horses around him, and he wanted to send people to chase them. However, seeing that the opponent was a chariot with two horses, he expected that chasing them would only lead to more casualties. If there were too many, he immediately ordered the whole army to attack, ignore the two wings, and go straight into the enemy's hinterland!
More than 10,000 cavalrymen marched towards the Feng Army infantry battle formation in a mighty manner.
When the Sword and Shield soldiers at the front saw the overwhelming scene, they were all pounding in their hearts. They were so nervous that their palms were sweating, their soles were cold, and they felt fear in their hearts.
Finally, the enemy cavalry rushed in front of him.
"kill!"
Following the general's roar, the sword and shield soldiers in the first row immediately squatted down and put their round shields on top of their heads. While resisting the enemy's chops, they also waved the swords in their hands and looked at the horse's legs. .
The strength of the soldiers and the impact of the horse collided with each other. The horse's legs were cut off and it somersaulted forward.
Of course, the soldiers who chopped off the horse's legs were also knocked away, fell into the crowd, and were killed on the spot.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, their horses turned upside down, leaving corpses on the ground. The cavalry behind them followed, and the sword and shield soldiers behind the infantry also rushed forward and continued to chop the horses' legs.
The cavalry is very tall and has strong impact. If the infantry fights with those on horseback, it will be difficult to cause fatal injuries to the enemy.
But if the enemy is condescending and attacks downward, it will be easy to chop off their heads.
Of course, it is not advisable to chop from top to bottom, as the knife can easily get stuck in the bone.
When Nie Chen trained cavalry, each man had a spear, a saber, and a repeating crossbow.
From a distance, use a repeating crossbow to shoot, and when charging, use a long spear, which can skewer them all at once.
Then he threw away his spear and drew his sword to kill people.
The spear is a disposable item for the cavalry, because under high-speed charging, you don't have time to draw the spear and attack again.
You will throw it away after using it once, but the impact of the spear is very strong, better than the knife, and it is only used to break the formation.
After throwing away the spear, he pulled out his knife to chop people. There are certain things to do when hacking people. You have to carry it from bottom to top, not from top to bottom.
Cut from bottom to top, cutting on the chest, face, and neck.
But if you cut from the top down, you can only cut off the head.
The skull is the hardest bone in the human body. Once cut, it can kill a person, but the knife will also get stuck in the bone and cannot be pulled out.
Regardless of the military branch, without weapons on the battlefield, it is no different than seeking death.
Nie Chen's cavalry on the other side of the battlefield did indeed do this. They were killing the barbarian infantry army and were invincible.
The barbarian cavalry here are not so lucky. They don't understand this at all.
Nie Chen has the combat experience summed up by countless Chinese ancestors, which they barbarians do not have.
The cavalry continued their high-speed impact and finally broke through the defense line of Ning Wushuang's infantry. They came to where the archers were and started killing them.
But because they left too many corpses behind, they couldn't increase their speed at all. The enemy's formation was too dense and they couldn't run.
The cavalry that stopped were no better than dogs, and a big melee broke out.
The archers were slaughtered, and the sword and shield soldiers from the south and the spear soldiers from the north came to support them. The sword and shield soldiers chopped off the horse's legs, and the spear soldiers stabbed people with three-meter-long spears. The fighting was very fierce.
The enemy troops broke into their own formation, and the fighting became more and more chaotic. Ning Wushuang was worried that it would affect the heavy shield soldiers and spear soldiers in the north, so he immediately ordered,
"Encircle the entire army, move closer to the center, and attack the enemy cavalry with all your strength! Generals, let's go together!"
As he spoke, Ning Wushuang pulled out his sword, struck the horse and charged towards the enemy cavalry.
