Chapter 441 (2/2)
Light cavalry, in particular, never charge the infantry camp with a complete cavalry, not to mention the movies and television of the last generation. After the cavalry rushes into the infantry camp, people dance guns and sticks on their horses, killing the enemy crying and scurrying.
In the real battlefield, if you dare to charge the infantry camp with light cavalry, then the cavalry general is either mentally ill or completely stupid.
In terms of relativity, horses are afraid of people. So when a horse rushes into an infantry camp, it is impossible for a horse to beat back the enemy in the air. On the contrary, it will only be surrounded by infantry. When the horse is frightened or injured by the infantry, the soldiers on the horse's back will have only one way to die, waiting for others' spears and spears when they roll off the horse's back Let's make a leech hive.
What's more, the most natural advantage of light cavalry is their mobility. It's strange that they can take advantage of the most important advantage of mobility when they fight with the enemy's swords and guns.
Therefore, stormtroopers or barracks are generally luxuries of this era. The work of full armored heavy cavalry is the only way for them to overturn infantry with heavy strength without fear of knife cutting, spear stabbing and arrow shooting.
Li Hong dare to attack, of course, because of his reason, that is, the range of the bow and crossbow. With this advantage, at least people can't reach him when shooting himself.
The crossbow is now the standard equipment for both light cavalry and heavy cavalry. In the face-to-face collision with the gentle troops, the crossbow in the hand has naturally reflected in the hand.
At this moment, both Wen Junjie and Li Hong know that the charge of the two teams of cavalry, when the crossbow is used up, is compared with one breath. Who can still keep the momentum in front of the opposite side, without a trace of flinch momentum, then who will occupy the absolute initiative in the charge.
Naturally, this can only be done when the disparity of forces is not very large.
The arrow quickly forms a black net in front of the cavalry led by Wen Junjie, and the whistling sound of the air pierces through it, which makes people feel uneasy. Wen Jun unties one hand rein, the other hand brandishes the long knife in the hand, separates the arrow which flies to come.
The weak arrows either fell to the ground or fell on the adjutant. Only a small part of them could pass through the first row of cavalry and fall from high altitude, causing some damage to the cavalry behind them.
Wen Junjie's face was dignified. At this time, he was no longer able to gallop on horseback so skillfully and fast as ever. He could only keep on rushing forward when he heard the scream of people tumbling behind him.
The bows and arrows have been shot by them for a long time. Now they just rely on their speed and skillful horsemanship to avoid the arrows shot by hundreds of people in the Tang Dynasty on the horse's back. The original neat formation behind them has become loose because of the interference of the crossbows and arrows.
Li Hong's face was ferocious. He was staring at the old man with white beard. He knew that Wen Jun was the backbone of these cavalry. If he killed him, the cavalry would be left to be slaughtered.
”Kill!” Li Hong shook his horse in the air and roared. He loosened the reins in his hand. Instead, he held the horse's head tightly in his hands and rushed to Wen Jun, who was opposite him.
”Kill!” When Wen Jun liberated and slowed down his horse speed, the left and right deputy generals felt two steps closer. Just as the two armies were about to meet, they suddenly released Wen Jun behind him.
Although it was behind them, the speed of the whole cavalry in Silla did not slow down. Obviously, this familiar strategy was carefully designed by them to protect the elderly Wen Junjie for a long time.
This kind of design may be useful to others, but it is useless for Li Hong. After all, there are two masters in the Tang Palace on both sides of Li Hong!
Huameng and Jingzhe are in the front, cheetah and grain in the back, and the four people are always around. They try to put Li Hong in a position that is not easy to be attacked by others, but the crown prince is easy to attack others.
Ma Shuo danced a burst of bright rotten silver flowers in the air. Under Li Hong's wave, the sharp blade of writing, nearly one meter long, went straight through. Suddenly, Wen Junjie was protected between the two lieutenants in the back, sweeping and blocking each other, avoiding the blocking of Ma Shuo's passing through by the Xinluo deputy general.
The horse in his crotch continued to fly forward. As for the two Xinluo vice generals who were close to his body less than five steps away, Li Hong ignored even the Council. The horse in his hand quickly pulled back to make room for Huameng and Jingzhe.
And he himself is between the electric light and flint, twisting his waist to gather strength. The horse in his hand stabs out again. The two deputy generals of Xinluo are entangled by Huameng and Jingzhe.
Before Li Hong's eyes, only Wen Junjie's face was startled. Before he could hold the knife to block him, he felt a burst of hot pain in his chest, and his arm suddenly became unable to lift up. The young man who suddenly appeared in front of him picked the horse in his hand. Wen Junjie felt that he could not help but fly away from the horse's back. The horse in front of him was carrying himself and throwing it to one side.
