Zhao Ming's thinking had always been correct before, that is, he would always face fewer enemies.
There is also a problem with the opponent's decision-making layer. One wave after another, it's like squeezing out toothpaste, which is too unsound.
This is why some ancient combat ideas are retained.
Just like the group of cavalry in front of them, it seems that they have come over in a wave of recklessness, but in fact they are still the same as in ancient times.
Perhaps each of these Outer Mongolian cavalry is very good at archery or swordsmanship, but they are not very organized.
Just like decades ago, in Western Europe, a powerful Mamluk cavalry trained according to ancient methods had a charge and fight with a cavalry trained according to modern French methods.
The Mamluk cavalry are not second-rate cavalry, but the first echelon trained in ancient methods. They have been famous since the beginning of their formation and have absolute say in the field of cavalry in the land of Oparo.
However, such a cavalry team trained in ancient methods with superb personal skills was defeated after being killed in a few charges.
Someone once said that two Mamluk cavalry can easily deal with four or five modern cavalry, but a hundred modern cavalry can be evenly matched with a hundred Mamluk cavalry.
Three hundred modern cavalry can defeat the same number of Mamluk cavalry in most cases. When the number reaches 1,000, often even 1,500 Mamluk cavalry can only fail.
In terms of morale, the Mamluk cavalry are not lacking. Their military merit system can be imagined as the military merit system of the Qin Dynasty, that is, the capable are promoted and the weak are demoted. As long as you have achieved military exploits, you can even become a general if you are big enough.
It would be wrong to say that it was because of the firearms, because there was once a general who was deeply impressed by the personal bravery of the Mamluk cavalry, so he reorganized them and even equipped them with firearms.
As a result, during World War I, this Mamluk cavalry still did not perform very well.
Even in many charge battles, the Mamluk cavalry was defeated by the Austrian cavalry and the Russian cavalry with dense wall charges, and was defeated without any resistance.
In the end, the Mamluk cavalry even had to follow suit and launched a wall charge like other cavalry. This gradually stabilized their reputation.
At this time, there were only two hundred riders standing on Zhao Ming's side, that is, the brothers of the Song Suppressing Army.
"Master Zhao! Everything is ready. We have set up a flag for those instructions and will use semaphore to express them when the time comes."
The monkey rode alone from one side and joined the cavalry group.
Zhao Ming did not plan to carry out this charge together with the other two units, but to equip the two units with semaphores separately.
After all, the distance is too far, and the individual gestures may not be able to clearly see the command.
The flag language was also very simple. Zhao Ming only told Baoshan and Wang Guxi a few simple and agreed-upon signals for attack, retreat, pursuit, etc.
This is also helpless, the time is too short.
If Zhao Ming really followed the training method of Zhensong Army, everyone would have to master very complicated gestures.
It is not necessary that everyone can complete these gestures, they only need to understand them, but those monitors are different. They not only need to read, but also need to be able to gesture.
Because Zhao Ming needed the squad leader behind him to immediately copy the gesture as soon as he typed it to make the instructions more accurate and efficient.
It's even a pity for Zhao Ming. It would be nice if he could get a whistle.
Another way to communicate instructions is through whistles.
As the Outer Mongolian cavalry continued to approach, the distance between the two sides came to one or two hundred meters.
Zhao Ming deliberately chose Darhan, the middle area between Maoming and Anbu. The terrain here is flat and open. But it just happens to be able to hide the tribal warriors on both sides.
Accompanied by a sound like a swarm of bees flying, Zhao Ming quickly made his first gesture.
The cavalry in the front row began to move slowly, and with the second gesture, the cavalry began to increase their speed to an extremely fast speed in a short period of time.
As the cavalry group ran fast, there was a scream of arrows piercing the sky in the dark night.
That was a random arrow shot by Outer Mongolia just one or two hundred meters away.
At this time, Zhao Ming's group had closed within two hundred meters in a short time, and arrows fell like raindrops, passing by Zhao Ming's group and falling behind them.
This is a small experience Zhao Ming summed up from several encounters with this group of Outer Mongolians.
They always like to make random throws with the bowstring fully drawn, not focusing on accuracy, but only on coverage.
It doesn't matter how much you can kill, it's naturally best if you can cause huge casualties to the opponent.
As the distance reached eighty meters, both sides fired a round of volleys.
The accuracy of firearms is very limited when the horses are bumpy at this distance, and the accuracy of the opponent is also very different.
But the formation of the Zhensong Army was very particular. The front row and the back row were staggered, and the third, fourth, and fifth rows at the back took out blood-stained spiked wooden sticks.
Projectile tactics, pursuing a maximum volley.
Why could Baa's neighboring tribe be defeated so quickly before?
It was not a charge in the first round, but a collision with the opponent's main force in the second round.
When the opponent's numbers are dense, they can fire a salvo and throw wooden spikes, and one round of shooting can break up the opponent's hearts.
When fighting at hand-to-hand combat, the skill of dragging the sword from behind can even defeat the opponent's last bit of morale.
At this time, with the dense number of people on the other side, this is nothing short of the best salvo.
Bang bang bang!
Gunshots sounded like raindrops, and a row of bullets pushed through like a wall.
With the shooting, the distance between the two sides also narrowed again, reaching seventy meters.
The opponent's arrows were also shot in a black mass, and people fell off their horses from time to time. However, in an instant, the entire first row of cavalry fell off their horses, and a few people in the second row were also shot.
Kahe frowned slightly when he saw this scene, but he didn't take it seriously.
The lethality of firearms is indeed terrifying. Their Khalkha tribe is also equipped with many firearms, but why is the opponent's firearm coverage rate so high?
Are these southerners all sharpshooters?
In fact, this is not the case. The main reason is that the coverage rate of wall shooting is high enough, and most of the people in the row directly opposite will be killed or injured.
Looking at their scatter, it seems that free fire is more accurate, but in fact many people's shots overlap with each other.
There may be several people targeting the same person.
However, this was not over yet. As the distance reached 60 meters, both sides completed a round of air strikes that rotated bullets and arrows.
In an instant, the young banner leader of Kahe saw long rain of arrows shot out from behind the cavalry formation on the opposite side?
wrong! Not a rain of arrows! Is this a spear?
That’s not right, these are just sharpened sticks!
Hundreds of spears are like black meteors, and the visual impact they bring far exceeds the rain of arrows.
After all, the impact of such thick and long spears is far greater than that of slender arrows.
It stands to reason that the distance of throwing such a heavy spear will not be very far, and Kahe also thinks that this will probably fail.
But he forgot that the people on both sides were rushing forward with all their strength.
As the spear was thrown and the moment it was about to land, the distance between the two sides shortened to within forty meters again.
Both sides also fired a second round of salvo, which had just ended.
Dozens of people were shot down by another volley from the opponent, and then the opponent's dense spears just happened to land in the crowd.
Phew!
