Sweep the World - Chapter 1093
People were shouting and killing enemies, and the horses neighed from time to time. novel.
There were constant cavalry staggering or colliding in the wilderness, and people poured blood on this battlefield every minute and every second.
The two enemy and our cavalry soldiers who were the first to meet each other had no room for detours, they just ran into each other head-on.
The Sassanian commander noticed that a Han army appeared from the flank, and he was slightly flustered and chose to split his troops to meet him.
On this battlefield, the Sassanids have no more troops than the Hans. They only occupy a little bit of land. However, as the Hans in all directions continue to move forward, the land they occupy will soon be lost.
Hussars shouldn’t fight in this relatively narrow terrain. Rather, they should use their short-distance speed to explode in a wide space, constantly searching for opportunities in cruising and roundabouts, biting the enemy bit by bit. The vigorous force, with each small killing and killing, accumulate enough results, slowly make the enemy lose the fighting spirit, defeat the enemy, and annihilate the enemy in the subsequent pursuit.
However, it is difficult for the army to fight on a battlefield that suits itself every time, and more often it is to fight against terrain that is unfavorable to it. Whether it can overcome the unsuitability is a crucial time to test the army.
The light cavalry of the two sides who are constantly fighting each other up, it is as if ice and fire meet in an instant. The ice is constantly being melted by the fire. At the same time, the fire is extinguished because of the ice. The earth is full.
The Han army, which represents the fiery red, is generally advancing, but it is not fast but can steadily push the front to move forward.
The Sassanian hussars with grayish-yellow color, they disappeared on the back of the horse within a short time when they went up, and often they were planted on the ground together with the horse and the horse, and then became muddy in the footsteps of the enemy and the enemy.
Zuo Si was fighting with a lance before. The lance stabbed an enemy cavalry before he was able to draw it back. The weapon in his hand turned into a battle knife.
In this kind of battlefield that crosses each other at high speed, as long as the blades are sharp enough, they don’t need much effort to perform slashing movements. The speed will cause the blades to bring great damage when sweeping the human body. Power, even if it is just wiped it, it will pull out a long blood hole. If you can sweep your belly, it must be a state where your belly has been cut.
At some point, if a person’s limbs and a weapon touch, and the person holding the weapon makes a little effort to slash, the person’s arm will be broken in an instant.
The place where cavalry is most likely to be injured in combat is not actually the upper body. Knights generally pay great attention to protecting their upper body and use shields or weapons to block it. The most vulnerable part is actually below the waist plate, which is the position of the thigh.
The line of sight of the knight on horseback is generally straight forward, and the line of sight does not particularly move forward and downward, so the position of the thigh is greatly ignored.
Some cavalry jogged on horseback. Most of the time, their weapons were hanging down. Maybe they would deliberately lift the weapons in their hands when the enemy and us were about to cross each other, but because of the time difference, only half of the cross has occurred. The weapons are During the crossing, he inadvertently made contact with the enemy cavalry below the waistband.
Why does the armor of the cavalry have one more skirt than the armor of the infantry? This design is definitely not meaningless, on the contrary it is a special design based on the needs of cavalry combat.
Look at the Sassanian cavalry and Han cavalry on the battlefield. Most of them who are not dead but have blood on their thighs must be Sassanid cavalry. On the contrary, the Han cavalry will only damage the skirt because of the protection of the skirt. .
In special circumstances, people will ignore that they are injured, especially in extremely noisy battlefields, unless the main torso has been severely injured, otherwise it is a very common situation that they will not realize that they are injured for a while.
They usually find that their breathing is getting more and more anxious, wondering how their physical strength is exhausted so much faster than usual, and people are getting weaker and weaker inexplicably. In fact, there is an injury somewhere, the blood in the body is constantly flowing out, and people who lose more and more blood will naturally become weak.
On the real battlefield, the cavalry of the enemy and ours will not give up on the cavalry on horseback. On the contrary, the first target of a qualified cavalry will be the horse under the enemy’s crotch.
Cavalry is small in size, and has a far greater response to danger than animals. When encountering danger, it will inevitably move to avoid or block.
Although the warhorse is also wise and will evade in danger, it is large and controlled by the reins. In many cases, it wants to evade because the controlled relationship cannot be avoided, and it is abruptly attacked.
Of course, the physique of the warhorse also determines that if it is not killed instantly, its anti-strike ability is definitely much stronger than that of humans.
One thing that is very realistic is that war horses are in a state of intense movement. Once they are injured, they will bleed very quickly, and while their speed slowly decreases, accidents may occur anytime and anywhere.
Zuo Si found that the speed of the horse under the hip was losing, and didn’t dare to look around on the battlefield. He used the corner of his eye to observe where his deputy was. Without finding his heart, he kept sinking.
As the Sassanid cavalry stationed on the battlefield, they left their auxiliary horses or auxiliary horses to the side of the large forces before charging, and launched the offensive only by single horses.
The Han army came from afar and had the opportunity to drive the auxiliary horses and auxiliary horses away from the brigade, but they did not do that.
As the Han army to support Peshawar, what it wants is an indomitable momentum. There is no plan to stop for too long after the victory of the battle. Once the auxiliary and auxiliary horses are driven away from the team, I don’t know how much time it will take. Go find it.
Using the auxiliary horse and the auxiliary horse to charge together can actually create a bigger and grander scene. The auxiliary horse and auxiliary horse that no one rides will also have a killing effect because of their own impact.
For the Han Empire, which had no shortage of war horses, it was not a problem to sacrifice some horses. If two or three war horses could be sacrificed to save a soldier, it would be more cost-effective in every aspect.
The speed of Zuo Sihu’s horse was slowing down, and he was riding a robe after riding and charging forward. He had the time to lean a little to hold an unknown second horse, and found a chance to change. For his actions, his eyes looked at his horse, an arrow stuck in its front chest, and its **** was chopped several times by the guy or guys who deserved a thousand knives.
Because he was not at the forefront of the entire assault formation, Zuo Si had time to find out if he was injured. Fortunately, although the leather armor on his body was damaged in many places, the injuries were only on the skin and flesh, not to the point of hurting the bones. .
After Zuo Si inspected himself, he began to observe the battlefield. A large swath of human and horse corpses appeared behind him. Some scattered enemy and us were chasing and fleeing.
“I don’t know if my brother will survive…” Zuo Si’s brother, Zuo Wei, was also in this vanguard, but he didn’t know about Zuo Wei’s selection as the’picking front’: “This time the battle is over, my brother will It’s a bus ride.”
As the vanguard of the Han army, not everyone was killed. About five hundred people still had about two hundred people waiting for their follow-up troops to join the battlefield. Some of them controlled the horses to slow down and became the rear team. Still charging at the front line.
On their side, they had penetrated the assault line composed of four thousand Sasanian light cavalry. The cavalry who charged at the forefront saw the enemy’s main formation, that is, the enemy’s main formation seemed too thin.
Sassan’s main formation repeatedly divided his troops, leaving only less than a thousand chariot troops and about two thousand cavalry. Among them, there seems to be a cavalry about five hundred in uniform?
In the remaining parts, there were Han cavalry fighting with Sassanian chariots and cavalry on the left and right, and the number of the two sides was not very different.
The most important thing is that not all of the Han army has been fully deployed on the battlefield. There are also two cavalry units of the Han army, with a combined number of about 13,000 or so, circling around the edge of the battlefield.
The Han army, which had penetrated the four thousand Sassanian light cavalry units, continued to gallop towards the Sassanids’ main formation without any pause. When they rushed to about 700 meters from the Sassanian main formation, they sounded a battle horn again. Was shouted in unison: “The Han army is mighty!”
Only fifteen minutes have passed since the battle. The 4,000 light cavalry that Sassan played in the early battle were not all over. It should have been about two thousand that were hunted and killed by about one thousand cavalry of the Han army.
It was hunting in the true sense. The Han cavalry was morale like a rainbow, but the Sassanid cavalry was panicked. The mentality determined the trend of the battle. As a result, it was clear that the number of Sassanian cavalry was more than that of the Han army, but the Sassanian cavalry was in place. The character being chased and killed.
The Han army rushing to the Sassanids’ main formation took the lead in shouting the battle signal, and the other Han army in several directions responded with shouts. This seemed to be a new signal. The two cavalry of the Han army, which had been cruising and roundabout around the periphery, added up to about 13,000. They changed direction and surrounded the main formation of Sassanids.
“How long is this…” Sarbas Gatlow was standing on the chariot’s body, his face pale: “With the time of the Han, it’s less than twenty minutes, right?”
In Salbas Gatlow’s understanding of cavalry engagement, shouldn’t it take days and nights for cavalry engagement to distinguish the obvious advantages and disadvantages of the enemy? Twenty minutes to make the battle show a clear trend of victory or defeat, isn’t it too fast!
They came not only with cavalry, but also with chariots, but chariots…how could it seem to be worse than the cavalry?
It can be seen that the Han cavalry did not have close contact with the Sassanian chariots at all. It was the Hans cavalry that threw their lances at the chariot of the Sassanid chariot while galloping.
Many lances are of course thrown empty, but if they hit the wheel, most of them will be bounced off by the high-speed rotating wheel. If a lance is inserted in, it will inevitably cause the Sassanian chariot to roll over.
The wheel is not full solid wood, but has a large gap. It looks elastic when it rotates at high speed, but there is a hard object inserted into the support rod. It is not that the support rod of the metal structure will break, or it will not break. There will also be a momentary braking effect, and then due to the sudden setback force, the tank that is already speeding at high speed will have a huge movement.
Zhu Xia hadn’t seen a chariot in the true sense for a long time. Even if there were chariots, they were only used as Wugang chariots. They were generally used to ride soldiers and transport supplies.
When the Han army fought on the A-3 continent, they often encountered chariots. At the beginning, they dealt with it head-on. What needs to be said is that the battle damage is slightly more ugly than the battle.
The army and various aspects will be studied later. Throwing a lance at the wheel of the tank is only one of the ways to deal with it. It is also the most convenient way for the cavalry to deal with the tank. When necessary, even the sword can be thrown. Drove the war horse to hit it directly.
Sassan’s chariot is still the style without axles and brakes, that is, it cannot make sharp turns or stop, and there is almost no so-called flexibility at all.
The use of chariots does not mean backwardness. In fact, some plain terrains can really be rampant with chariot soldiers. There is no shortage of plain terrain in Sassanids. Even the countries surrounding Sassanids are dominated by plains. That was the Persian for so many years. One of the reasons why the chariot soldiers has not been abandoned.
The Persians themselves have done relevant experiments. Once fighting on a flat terrain, the cavalry can actually not beat the chariots head-on. Cruising each other consumes the physical strength of the horses and it has little effect on the chariots. They want to defeat the chariots. The soldiers can only fight hard.
Even knowing that the chariot soldiers of the Gupta Empire still could not win against the Han army, Sassan still did not give up the idea of chariot soldiers. Some of them even put the hope of defeating the Han army on the chariot soldiers. . The reason is that they knew that the Han army was struggling to deal with the chariots of the Gupta Empire. They felt that the chariots of their country were better than the chariots of the Gupta Empire~www.mtlnovel.com~The chariots of the Gupta Empire could If the Han army is struggling to fight, then it is not a problem for the Sassanian chariots, who are more powerful than the Gupta Empire, to defeat the Han army, right?
Now, the first large-scale battle between the Sassanid chariots and the Han cavalry is already underway. The Persians are watching the confrontation with extremely eager anticipation, but the more they look at the facial muscles, they will become stiff. Others couldn’t help crying even more.
“They are all cowards, they only dared to throw things at a distance, not like a warrior at all!”
“But it works…”
The confrontation between the Sassanid chariots and the Han cavalry is actually a bit horrible. Usually, as long as the Hans cavalry can avoid being shot by the Sassanid chariots’ shooters, then the Hans cavalry definitely has a way to solve the Sassanid chariots. .
The knights of the Han army threw their lances at the chariot wheel at a distance, and threw something like a horse rope at a distance.
It is a short noose with heavy objects tied at both ends of the rope. It is very useful whether it is against people or horses. The noose will bind people up during rotation, and it is as effective as the wheel of a chariot!
