The duel between light cavalry and light cavalry is extremely complicated and dangerous.
It is impossible for both sides to lead their cavalry in a daze and charge head-on into the other side.
War horses are precious, and so are cavalry, which cannot be lost.
Moreover, such a collision would not bring any advantages.
Therefore, from the beginning of the battle, both sides kept going back and forth in circles on the vast plain.
Both sides were divided into countless small teams, going back and forth to look for each other's weaknesses. And quickly gather at a certain place to form a situation where more people fight against fewer people.
In such a battle, bows and arrows are the main weapons.
When it comes to cavalry and shooting, the Eight Banners cavalry is not afraid of any enemy in the world.
They believed that just a few rounds of fighting would be enough to completely collapse the Han cavalry in front of them.
The two sides were thirty or forty steps apart, and their breathing could be heard. The bows and arrows of the Eight Banners cavalry were extremely accurate.
Almost every arrow hit the Xia army's cavalry.
But the results were mediocre.
It's not that the Xia army's cavalry have mastered the magical power of indestructibility, but that they are covered in armor and well-protected. As long as you don't get hit in the vitals, it has almost no impact.
The armors of the Xia Army cavalry were professionally and scientifically designed, and were different from most armors of this era.
Many key parts are made of integrally stamped metal armor, which perfectly fits the body shape.
Even though this metal armor is very thin, its hardness is not comparable to other armors.
The Xia army cavalry was also fighting back.
Although their archery speed is not as fast as that of the Eight Banners Cavalry, and their accuracy is also slightly worse, the killing effect is better.
Even though the Eight Banners cavalry were wearing three layers of armor, they were still vulnerable to the steel arrows of the Xia Army cavalry.
What was even more unacceptable to the Eight Banners Cavalry was that although they had the upper hand in the initial exchange of bows and arrows. But after a while, Xia Jun actually had the tendency to overtake him.
The reason also lies in the production of bows and arrows.
Although the Eight Banners Cavalry's bows and arrows use the best wood, the best strings, the best arrow shafts, and the best arrows, the people who use them are also the top archers of this era.
But Xia Jun's bows and arrows had many scientific devices.
These devices can greatly save the shooter's physical strength.
Although in the initial exchange of fire, the Xia Army cavalry was not as skilled as the Eight Banners cavalry in speed. But as the battle continued, the difference in physical fitness between the two sides became apparent.
If we talk about the comparison of bows and arrows, the Eight Banners Cavalry suffered a disadvantage. So what they couldn't accept the most was that the Xia Army's cavalry was actually superior in technical and tactical qualities.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo Reading recently to catch up on books, change sources, and have many reading sounds. It can be used on both Android and Apple. 】
Although the Eight Banners cavalry are all born warriors on horseback and have an innate talent for riding and shooting, this talent has even more obvious advantages in small-scale combat.
In large-scale cluster operations, organization and discipline are the key factors that determine the quality of the army.
When it comes to organization and discipline, Xia Jun is said to be the second best in the world, and no one dares to call him the first.
The two sides went back and forth on the battlefield, constantly changing their formations, and trying to find each other's loopholes. However, after several rounds of maneuvers, the Xia army's formation was not torn to pieces. On the contrary, they also used separate attacks and combined attacks, which gradually made the Qing army unable to keep up with the intensity. ….
The last point was what frightened the Qing army the most.
Although the horses under the Eight Banners Cavalry are carefully selected and of high quality. But compared with the Xia army's cavalry, they were a head shorter than the naked eye, and their legs were also shorter.
As a result, the speed of the Eight Banners Cavalry will be much slower while running.
In a light cavalry duel, running slower than the opponent is asking for death.
Some of the horses of the Eight Banners cavalry came from the original Liaodong horse farm of the Ming Dynasty and were bred by themselves.
Some of them came from the Mongolian grasslands as tribute.
But no matter which type, comprehensively speaking, they all belong to the Mongolian horse breed.
This kind of war horse is not tall and not very fast. The only advantage is that it has great endurance.
At that time, the Mongolian cavalry swept across the Eurasian continent.
It is this kind of horse that can easily conquer thousands of miles away.
But the horses of the Xia Army cavalry have already been replaced.
Today's war horses basically come from Jeju Island Racecourse.
These products, which are mixed from the best horse breeds in the world, combine a variety of advantages and are far beyond what Mongolian horse breeds can compare with.
Seeing that his side was becoming more and more passive, the Qing general who was the first to rush into the battlefield became furious and became more willing to fight.
"Tell Sonny to cover my flanks, I'm going to crush these South Barbarians."
This person is really fierce.
He put away his bow and arrows and took out a heavy mace from behind. With a light blow on the horse's butt, the man rushed out.
In his eyes, he could only see Commander Xia Jun Qi, who was running rapidly in front of him.
Under that flag, a tall but thin general of the Xia army shot out arrows.
Every arrow accurately hit the vital part of the Qing cavalry.
The Qing generals had never seen anyone who could shoot arrows so accurately.
When you see that this person is surrounded by many guards, it is obvious that he has a high status.
If you kill this general, you will be able to turn the tide and win a great victory.
He chose to charge, and the soldiers had no choice but to follow bravely.
According to the military law of the Qing army, if the general fell and his own soldiers were still alive, they would be tortured and executed.
"Teacher, look!"
Wang Siyi is flying freely, killing enemies happily.
In recent years, the Xia army has been fighting in rugged mountains and hills, or on the vast sea, so the cavalry has not had much use.
Watching others fight hard and make military exploits repeatedly. But one could only imagine Wang Siyi's mood as she could only live in the back.
This time she was finally able to face off against the enemy on the battlefield, making her feel like a tiger that was letting its joy go.
Hearing the guard's reminder, Wang Siyi turned her head and looked.
Seeing a Qing army general rushing towards him rashly and waving his mace up and down, not a single Xia army cavalry was his enemy, and they were all smashed to death on the spot.
"Well done!"
Wang Siyi had long been tired of shooting arrows. When he saw someone wanting to fight with him, he was immediately excited.
She casually put the strong bow back into place, took out two axes, and faced them.
The dark cloud covering the snow under her crotch is a good horse in the world. When running at full speed, it is like a black lightning floating on the snow.
The generals of the Qing army were overjoyed when they saw that the enemy not only did not flee, but actually came forward to meet them.
His bravery was unrivaled among the Qing troops, and countless Ming generals died under him.
Now the tall and thin man opposite came to die, which was exactly what he wanted.
Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer, the Qing generals roared loudly, like a tiger roaring in the forest. At the same time, he raised the mace high and used the power of the forward charge to throw it hard.
This mace is made of fine iron and weighs two hundred kilograms.
One force can bring down ten.
In the face of such absolute power, no moves can be solved.
The general on the opposite side showed no fear at all.
But when he suddenly put the two axes in his hands back and forth, they turned into a long axe.
The opponent's posture was the same as his, and there were no tricks, just taking turns to hit him with the axe.
For a moment, the battlefield suddenly became quiet.
Whether it was the Qing army or the Xia army, they all stared with wide eyes, watching the showdown between the two generals. .
