The speed of cavalry charging is very fast. A certain number of cavalry charging can even lead to mountains and earth shaking. In the face of a large number of cavalry rushing over with the sound of rolling horse hoofs, even the brave people will have a rapid heartbeat and instinctively want to avoid and flee.
People are human because they can suppress instincts, unlike animals that follow primitive instincts. An animal's instinct is to mate when the season comes, or to decide what to do in the face of danger by genes rather than thoughts. It is not unreasonable for people to become the leader of all spirits. They don't have to wait for the season to mate. They can do whatever they want as long as they can hold on. When there is danger, although they are driven by genes, they can suppress and counterattack with ideas.
The Jin army waiting in array, each of them was breathing heavily, and they could see anxiety and fear in any eyes, but they didn't leave their feet and run away. People crowded with each other and became more dense.
"Steady! Steady!"
"Control the spear and spear!"
"Ready to accept the collision... Ready to accept the collision..."
All kinds of orders were roared out in the army array of the Jin army. You can hear that the roars were all with vibrato.
The actions of the Jin soldiers who crowded out of each other because of fear made the military array distorted. When the crossbows and arrows shot by the Han cavalry fell, there were a lot of screams and cries of pain. The originally distorted military array became more distorted, and there were people shouting meaninglessly everywhere.
The cavalry of the Han Army in charge and the knights on horseback are already bending their bodies as far as possible. The lances in their hands are not held flat forward, but inclined downward. The tip of the riding gun looks white and bright. The galloping of the war horse at high speed will break the tip of the gun and make the air roar.
A neat roar suddenly exploded on the battlefield. It was roared by the cavalry of the Han Army: "the Han army is powerful!"
The cavalry of the Han Army in front of the charge, when they control their horses to gallop to the array and wait for about four steps in front of the Jin army, they control the war horses to jump high. The moment when people and horses soar into the air, they make a sweeping action with their riding guns, sweep away the spears or spears tilted upward as much as possible, and the next moment they fall down heavily with people and horses.
The collision between the cavalry of the Han Army and the Jin army appeared on the battlefield
Some Han cavalry fell down safely and stepped out of a depression. After landing, the Han cavalry may continue to jump forward, or the horse may stumble and overturn.
The cavalry of the Han Army did not fall down safely. When they jumped up with people and horses, they failed to sweep away the spear or spear below. At that moment, the sharp stab stabbed into the belly of the horse. Maybe the spear or spear would break, but if they were stabbed, they would lose their balance in mid air, resulting in heavy smashing.
As the first group of 100 Han cavalry, no matter what the situation is, their role is only to make an early breakthrough and create opportunities for paoze.
A wave of Han cavalry rushed into the array, and the originally distorted Jin infantry array had actually disintegrated in many places. The battlefield was filled with the cries of people and horses, accompanied by dense and noisy screams.
The second group of Han cavalry is still 100. When they are close, they no longer jump high. They control their horses to collide directly with their cavalry guns. As a cavalry, the front chest of the war horse is equipped with a protective plate armour, and the neck of the horse is also protected by some leather inlaid with iron skin like shrimp skin. Their eyes are actually blindfolded. The knight controls the fearless collision. Hitting the human body at high speed makes a dull sound, and each dull sound must be followed by a human scream.
If you look at the battlefield, you can see that the cavalry of the Han Army has been divided into echelons. There are five columns of 100 people ahead, colliding one after another. In the middle, every 500 riders become a column, and three teams are not charging at an absolute high speed. The rest of the Han cavalry behind will spread towards the two wings. They will cooperate with some friends who detour to the mountain to attack the two wings of the Jin army.
In fact, it is not advisable for cavalry to rush into the formation, especially to attack the enemy in a dense formation. Although the impact can cause huge casualties to the enemy, the group of cavalry who launched the collision is also destined to be consumed.
It is used to pull the enemy everywhere, consume the enemy's physical strength and stretch the enemy's formation, and then use the short-range mobility of the cavalry to take a break. In fact, this is the correct way of using the cavalry.
When it's time to rush into the array without cavalry, make use of the strong psychological pressure caused by cavalry on infantry to create enough movement to make the enemy fear and disintegrate by itself, and then carry out tail chasing. Historically, cavalry has mostly used this strategy against the enemy.
Xu Zheng, who sent out cavalry, of course looked forward to the disintegration of the Jin army. He was not surprised to find that the Jin army could fight in array. He firmly said: "this elite enemy must be destroyed!"
The Han Army has always stressed that it is better to capture more prisoners of war on the battlefield. Prisoners of war can be used as slaves for labor and slave soldiers in battle. For the Han country, which is extremely short of manpower, living prisoners of war are much more useful than dead enemies.
The elite of the enemy is the object that the Han army should be destroyed anyway. If it can be eliminated with a grand army potential, it will give its own army "experience", that is, the reason why a strong army is stronger against the winner. This is how the military soul is usually fought. Even if it can be forced to surrender, it will be consumed in various ways after forced surrender, just because the elite of the enemy is really difficult to control. Generally, those people take the lead in things such as problems or who incites riots.
The Jin army fighting in array disintegrated after the third round of impact. Few Jin soldiers who could not form the army array could continue to resist. Most of them turned and ran towards the rear array.
For this reason, the disintegration of the front array of the Jin army also represents the shaking of the overall military array. The Han Army deliberately released those fleeing Jin soldiers. Those Jin soldiers who turned and fled will become the help of the Han cavalry and attack their own military array with fear.
Xie Wan could no longer control the troops fighting in the array. Except that the military order could not be delivered immediately, he took about 2000 Jin cavalry to the flank, far away from the Han cavalry who was about to impact from the mountain.
"Detour, detour to make room!" Xie Wan is not stupid. He won't rush up and collide with the cavalry of the Han army from a commanding impact: "Xie Dong, you lead one, echoing the left and right wings that would have formed."
The man named Xie Dong is not a member of the Xie family. He is a trilogy given the surname Xie. He was originally a Jin general in the state of Zhao in Shijie. He was reused after he defected to the Xie family.
At this time, Xie Wancai had time to look at the Jin army fighting in the following array. What he saw was the disintegration of his own front array. The defeated soldiers did not spread to the left and right sides, but directly collided with the army array, and the cavalry of the Han Army deliberately followed their own defeated soldiers to look for opportunities.
Jin General Wang Qian, who commanded the marching array of the Jin army, had ordered indiscriminate archery. Rounds of arrow rain did not stop the rout, but the soldiers of the array were in a commotion because they saw indiscriminate archery.
In this year, joining the army is basically a combination of father and son, brothers and blood relatives. Kill your own people in any way. The arrow shot by the archer is likely to kill your father, son, brother, brother or relatives. Many relatives of the viewer may also be one of those killed by your own people. How can there be no uproar.
Wang Qian is constantly reasoning, but the truth is often useless. He can only restrain the soldiers in a more iron and blood way. If there is a commotion or shake the formation, he will be executed on the spot, which is to force the scene down.
From the Han cavalry on the left and right flanks, the group on the left will face the Jin cavalry led by Xie Wan, and the group on the right will see the side of the Jin army whose formation is constantly distorted.
Up to now, the Han cavalry who launched a positive charge have stepped on flesh and blood and rushed into another layer of the Jin army. They shouted "the Han army is powerful" in unison, as if it were a signal. The friendly cavalry on the left and right wings also roared "the Han army is powerful" and galloped their horses.
On the battlefield, the Han cavalry formed a trident. When their formation was fully displayed, Xie Shi in the rear knew it was bad.
"Governor!" Sun Chuo was full of panic and asked, "can you stop it?"
Xie Shi ignored sun Chuo and ordered to the generals present: "do everything possible to stabilize the camp. Fenwu and Fenwei are ready... To receive the friendly forces in front and return to the camp."
Speaking, the military system of the Jin army is well understood. The Jin army of the Eastern Jin Dynasty continues the military system of the Western Jin Dynasty. The military system of the Western Jin Dynasty is inherited from the Cao Wei Dynasty. There are five people and one army, ten people and one thing, one hundred people and one song for a thousand people. On the song, there are military (government) and (dormitory) guards.
The army is divided into border army, Wang Guojun and county army. The border army is 10000, the Wang Guojun is 1500, and the county army is divided into 3000 and 5000.
Suwei is actually a part of the Chinese army, and the so-called Chinese army is the defense army stationed in the capital, also known as the Yamen army. It has left and right guards dedicated to Suwei palace, and each army under the establishment has no Suwei palace. The task is to defend the capital.
The small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty made some changes in the military system, that is, how many troops were prepared according to the grade of each general, such as the 10000 full number of the big military house, the 3000 full number of the small military house, and the 1500 military establishment of some guard generals and school captains.
There is no doubt that the Jin army led by Xie Shi is based on the military system of the border army. Those military houses with a full staff of 10000 belong to the regular military source of the imperial court. The military establishment under the command of various aristocratic families (Generals) is not fixed. It depends on how many talents each aristocratic family can tangle to form a military house. As an example, Xie Shi's shogunate and pro army have 20000 people, which is only regarded as a military house.
The Han cavalry charged from three directions. When the front Han cavalry rushed in, the right-wing Han cavalry also rushed directly into the Shanxi flank from high to low, while the left-wing Han cavalry rushed down the hill and was divided into two parts to meet Xie Wan.
Xu Zheng didn't just let the cavalry play. After sending out the cavalry, he mobilized three schools to follow. On the whole battlefield, the Han Army also began to push back comprehensively.
The shogunate Pro army, whose confidence wavered, only disintegrated within a quarter of an hour. The Jin army in front and on the right were scattered by the Han cavalry. The Jin army in the rear and on the left separated from the battlefield and began to retreat backward, making this local battlefield disjointed into two parts.
"We detoured back to attack the enemy who were frightened like rabbits." Doo ah led the troops into battle again, referring to the Jin troops who were leaving the battlefield: "send a signal to the rear, and then send a flag to general Zhong Bi. Please allow the troops to hunt together."
The flag of the Han army is convenient for long-distance instant communication, can quickly ask for orders and get replies, and can also form closer cooperation with friendly forces on the battlefield.
Dou A's calculation was very good, and Zhong Hui actually agreed to the resolution. On their detour, they found that there were Jin troops in the rear, and the rear command asked them to lead their troops to fight with the Department.
The two new Jin armies, Fenwu and Fenwei, come from Wang's family and Chu's family respectively. Fenwu military house has a staffing of 13000 people and Fenwei military house has a staffing of 5000 people. The two military houses were ordered to set foot on the battlefield in a hurry. They were not sent out by the full staff. They were ordered to receive the retreating friendly forces and return to their barracks.
Victory or defeat on battlefield is often full of the unpredictability, and there is no fixed time for how long it takes to win or lose. This time, the two armies in the front-line battle did not entangle for a long time. It was the disintegration of the shogunate Pro army who lost confidence in winning, resulting in the scene of the Han Army chasing, hiding and defeating the Jin army on the battlefield.
Xie Shi, who looked at the battlefield from a distance, shook twice and was held by sun Chuo when there was a sign of falling.
"Victory or defeat... In a moment..." Xie Shigang really had a black eye. He saw his elite being chased and killed. Xie Wansuo led his cavalry in the battlefield. For a moment, his head was empty and his body was breathing badly. He said to sun Chuo with a pale face, "the shogunate's Pro army didn't play a role in boosting morale, but experienced great defeat. It's difficult to win here. It only depends on how much time it can buy for the rear."
Sun Chuo almost fainted after hearing this. Xie Shi had repeatedly said that fighting across the river was a hammer deal. It was impossible to say that he returned safely to the South Bank of the huaishui river. He heard Xie Shi say with his own ears that he had no confidence in the victory of the war and could hold on. He could withstand the blow.
As Xie Shi expected, the pro army of the shogunate did not win the battle, which was a great blow to the rest of the Jin army. The whole front began to erode from the middle of the front, and then spread to the rest of the local battlefield. The left and right wings that could be maintained previously had been beaten back by the Han Army, and the fast riders who asked for help came to the Chinese army one wave after another.
"If the camp is fully shrunk, it will last as long as it can." Xie Shi didn't know how many troops he had on hand. He said to Xie Shang who had just arrived: "brother Cong is responsible for monitoring. If you find someone trying to escape across the south of the Yangtze River, please kill him on the spot."
He is also a son of an aristocratic family. He knows very well, but if there is something wrong, abandoning the army and fleeing will be the first choice. Xie Shi doesn't care about the aristocratic family. He knows very well that he can't make the situation worse.
