Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 373 Heavy Armored Cavalry
After many battles, Wang Yan has great confidence in his soldiers and horses. He believes that his army cannot be defeated by cavalry and shooting. It's just that the Qing army took turns to charge and fight with wheels. The army will fight for a long time. Method.

A few miles away, Boluo looked at the battlefield, but his heart was still hanging.

He didn't know Wang Yan well, he only heard his name and didn't know him, but he knew about Luck Dehun, and Wang Yan was able to defeat Luck Dehun and regain the land of Chu and Jiangxi. There are more or less scruples.

At this time, the Eight Banners of the Qing army had attacked for five consecutive rounds, and nearly [-] light cavalrymen attacked in turn. However, under the harassment of the Qing cavalry, the Ming army never showed signs of chaos, which made him very worried.

The current Ming army is no worse than the Liao Town back then. At least Boluo has never met a Ming army that can resist the Eight Banners soldiers. It has been as strong as a rock for nearly an hour.

Although he spoke with contempt for Wang Yan, he had to admit in his heart that the Ming army in front of him was experienced and the cavalry came and went like the wind. It was not easy to be shot, but those veterans who had been in battle were very experienced, and they often Arrows were fired at the place where the Eight Banners cavalry were about to arrive. As a result, people in the Eight Banners were shot and fell off their horses one after another.Seeing this, Boluo felt that he had really met his opponent. Right now, there were at least two thousand and eight banners, who were shot to death by the Ming army, and the Ming army also lost nearly a thousand troops.

At this time, Boluo couldn't help but turned his head to look at the rear of the infantry. The heavy armored cavalry hiding behind the Qing army's infantry were well equipped and ready to attack at any time.

This is why Boluo set up the cavalry attack formation. The heavy armored cavalry is invincible, and the ability to charge and break the formation can only be resisted by densely armored infantry. However, with the emergence of firearms, the Ming army mostly wore light armor. Wang Yan did not There is no heavy infantry equipped with infantry armor like the Song Dynasty.

The heavy armored cavalry is Boluo's trump card, and it must be used at critical moments. If even the heavy armored cavalry cannot defeat the Ming army, the two thousand and eight banners who were killed or wounded will die in vain.

At this time, Boluo had to calm himself down. Only after the formation of the Ming army was disturbed, could he use the heavy armored cavalry to make a crucial blow.

Suddenly, an excited smile flashed across Boluo's face, because he saw that under the continuous attack of the Eight Banners, there was a trace of chaos on the right wing of the Ming army formation!
Bo Luo hurriedly pointed and asked, "The Ming army on the right wing, who is it?"

Tong Guoding looked around and replied: "Report to Baylor, that's Jin Shengheng's department~"

Boluo nodded, with a smile on his face, "It's extremely shameful for a repeated person. The flag of command tells the cavalry to take care of this rebellious person!"

Jin Shengheng had just joined the Ming Dynasty, and he was a defeated general, so his combat strength was definitely not as good as Wang Yan's troops. He first became chaotic, and Bo Luo took it for granted, and did not arouse suspicion.

At this time, the cavalry of the Qing army saw the flag and immediately concentrated their forces to attack this place. Facing the dense array of arrows like raindrops, Jin Shengheng's troops really couldn't bear it.To be a soldier is to fight, and to fight is to die. Everyone knows this, not to mention surprise attacks, as in the current situation where two armies confront each other and fight dignifiedly, they often kill one thousand and lose eight hundred.

In Jin Shengheng's troops, the soldiers saw that there were arrows being shot to the end by their comrades, especially the wounded soldiers who were not shot to death and howled on the ground, which put the soldiers under tremendous psychological pressure!
Under such circumstances, there were naturally unsteady soldiers who began to leave their positions without authorization. However, Jin Shengheng was also considered a general, and this little confusion was naturally not difficult for him.

If the Qing army's cavalry hadn't rushed up to melee, and his right wing was in chaos, then he would be ashamed as the governor of the town.

The chaos that Boluo saw at this time, except for a very small part, was caused by the fear of the soldiers, and most of it was actually caused by Jin Shengheng on purpose.

The army looked chaotic, but in fact the establishment system was still there, but Boluo was overjoyed. He eagerly hoped that the formation of the Ming army would be more chaotic!
At that time, the chaotic formation of the Ming army will be easily pierced by the heavy armored cavalry. As long as they charge up once or twice, even if the Ming army is fighting hard, they will be in chaos. Wang Yan.

Boluo was thinking that Wang Yan might still be racking his brains at this moment, thinking about why he would form the cavalry attack formation. He would never have imagined that he had a 2000-man heavy cavalry in his hands.

After all, since the Kingdom of Jin and Xixia, the real heavy cavalry has been in the Central Plains for hundreds of years.

"Command, let the heavy armored cavalry charge~"

At this moment, Boluo felt that the time he had been waiting for had arrived, so he waved his hand and ordered.

On the upstairs car, after Wang Yan issued the military order to Jin Shengheng, he was waiting for Boluo's response. He believed that after Qingqi's attack many times, Boluo would not doubt his intentional flaw of selling.

At this time, a few miles away, the horns of the Qing army burst into the sky. Wang Yan smiled, knowing that Boluo had really made a move, he was overjoyed, and saw the Qing army's large formation opening from the middle, diverting a path Come.

A Qing cavalry unit slowly came out from behind the infantry!
Seeing this, Wang Yan hurriedly took out his binoculars to watch, but he saw that this cavalry was heavily armored, and each cavalry was as tall as a hill.

"Heavy armored cavalry!" Wang Yan's expression changed.

The heavy armored cavalry equipment is very heavy, which is not conducive to marching. Before reaching the battlefield, the men, horses and equipment are separated.

Wang Yan did not expect that Boluo would hide this army behind the infantry. At the mouth of Dongting Lake, Wang Yan was attacked by Luck Dehun's heavy armored cavalry for a while, and was almost defeated. The huge impact ability of the cavalry left a deep impression on him.

It was difficult for the light armored infantry of the Ming army to withstand the thunderous impact. The momentum of the galloping heavy cavalry can be described as terrifying, and even a javelin can shoot through thick armor.

The heavy armor that came out in front of me only has more than 2000 cavalry, but it is obviously more called heavy cavalry than the heavy armor of Luck Dehun. Unlike the Iron Buddha of Jin Kingdom and the iron kite of Xixia, they are not iron cans. These cavalry Because they have to guard against firearms, they are all double-armored. They wear iron armor on the inside and cotton armor on the outside. The horses and people only have a pair of eyes, and the impact is unstoppable.

At this time, Wang Yan was in a very complicated mood. He already understood Boluo's strategy, which was to use light cavalry to disrupt the formation and heavy cavalry to defeat the enemy.

Wang Yan couldn't help feeling tense, he was glad that he had drawn out the cavalry ahead of time, otherwise when the army was exhausted by the Qing army, they would be defeated by the heavy cavalry.

However, the situation at this time is not optimistic, because the Ming army is lightly armed infantry, it is difficult to resist the impact of this kind of double armor.

Seeing this, Wang Yan estimated that the formation would definitely be penetrated, so he quickly ordered: "Push the cart over~" At this time, the heavy cavalry of the Qing army had already formed an offensive formation in front of the formation. With a murderous intent!This is the rhythmic beating of war drums, and the heavy armored cavalry straightened their spears and moved out slowly. The cavalry was wrapped in armor from head to toe, and even their hands were covered with leather covers, only two eye sockets were exposed.

Except for the ears, eyes, and four hooves, the war horse is protected by double armor.

These horses are not ordinary Mongolian horses, but taller Hequ horses. Every meal is better than humans. Each war horse has to carry hundreds of catties. When they gallop, the momentum generated is enough to shake the mountains!

Because of the heavy load, the heavy cavalry started very slowly. Following the rhythm of the war drums, they ran from walk to trot, and then fully picked up their speed when they approached the bright array.
