Chapter 89 Battle of Foot and Rider
He was originally nameless, and because he was the son of a fisherman, everyone called him Yulang, which means he was the fisherman. He was originally the son of a fisherman on the beach in Shangling County. Because his father went to sea to fish, his mother had to be a soldier. Turin saw him smart and smart, so he received it by her side as her book boy. The thing he held was the general token of Turin this time.
Turin's unintentional actions have saved many soldiers of the South Dan Kingdom in a sense, and to some extent, this garbage team has saved.
This little young man who was originally unknown and unknown became famous because of this battle and made great achievements in the subsequent battles!
Yu Lang followed Turin since childhood, helping her to organize her study or prepare books for her, because Turin has been reading books about war for a long time, and Yu Lang has also been exposed to this kind of books since childhood.
When Turin was not here, Yu Lang always locked himself in the study and studied alone. In addition, his talent and intelligence have already mastered the soldiers' secretaries over the years.
Whether it is an enemy army or a regular main force, daily training is essential.
Although the unit stationed in Shangling County is not the main force of the Nandan Kingdom, it is at least the Du family's army, so the treatment will naturally not be bad.
The reason why it is said to be the Du family's army is that the city lord and prefect of Shangling County are both the same person, Du Xiaotian - Du Feng's uncle and Du Lang's father.
The reason why Turin is called the princess is not because she is the master of Shangling County, but because she is the niece of Du Xiaotian, the lord of Shangling County and the sister of Du Feng.
Since Dufeng has been stationed in Dadu for a long time and has no time to take care of Turin, it is naturally reasonable to entrust his sister to his uncle.
Since it is the army of the Du family, the treatment is naturally not a problem, and the various equipment will not be bad, and the training will naturally not be left behind.
Du Feng knew the embarrassment of the lack of cavalry in the South Dan Kingdom, so the main training content of this army stationed in Shangling County is only two types, namely the hook and sickle soldiers and the infantry phalanx.
When Yu Lang followed Turin to train these soldiers, he learned a lot of ways to deal with cavalry.
In fact, the practice of infantry phalanx mainly includes two situations: thin warfare and vertical hunting.
Bo Zhan mainly trains soldiers to be familiar with the command orders such as flags, war drums, etc. in the army, so as to advance and retreat according to the commander's instructions, and adapt to the ever-changing situation on the battlefield in real time through changes and adjustments in formation, so as to achieve orderly battles and enter the battle with the formation. Hunting is the training of military technology and individual combat capabilities of soldiers.
When the heavy cavalry of Jin State rushed over like lightning, facing the suddenly changed formation of the Nandan heavy infantry phalanx, they were obviously not prepared. Facing the sudden appearance of the shield wall, the javelins in the cavalry's hands were obviously useless to shoot directly into the first row. At the command of the Zhe Chong Duwei, hundreds of javelins appeared in a parabolic route, jumped over the shields of the first row, and shot towards the rear of the square.
Although there were shield defenses at the rear of the infantry phalanx, it was not as tight as the first row. Suddenly, many infantry bodies were penetrated by the javelins flying from flying.
With the sound of puffing, many infantry fell down and some of the iron shields were knocked away, but the overall loss was not too serious.
The heavy cavalry roared over and knew that there was an insurmountable iron wall in front of them, but they could not stop.
The horse running with a load was like a slag truck loading garbage. He saw a red light or pedestrian in front of him, and tried hard to brake, but he couldn't stop it.
Even if a war horse that barely stops galloping, it will block the war horse that follows closely behind, causing continuous people to overturn. Therefore, there is one cavalry during training. If a charge is initiated, it cannot stop moving forward unless it is stopped together after receiving clear instructions.
"Bang"
"Bang...bang..."
The heavy horses and cavalry and horses collided heavily on the iron wall made of iron shields. The huge impact force kept hitting the shield wall. The head of the halberd stretched out from the gap of the iron shield directly penetrated the cavalry's body wearing thick armor, and then fell heavily to the ground, and was trampled by the horse's hooves swarming up from behind.
There were waves of impact and impact, no other sounds, only the puff sound of horses neighing and the spear tip piercing through the body, and the thump sound of a person falling to the ground from the moment he fell to the ground.
Although the iron shield formed a shield wall and there were at least two soldiers behind each iron shield, the huge impact force still broke the gap in many places, and dozens of heavy cavalry still rushed into the infantry formation.
Yu Lang's face was gloomy in the distance, and he didn't say a word. He suddenly raised a triangle flag in his hand and turned it to the left of the air three times.
Suddenly in the center of the infantry phalanx, a row of infantry holding beryllium rushed forward and bent down to sweep the beryllium in her hand towards the horse's legs.
Beryllium itself is about three meters long, and a sharp blade is installed on its top, like a dagger inserted on a flagpole, and a curved hook and sickle is installed on the neck of Beryllium, just like harvesting wheat.
Therefore, beryllium soldiers can fight alone or be used to deal with cavalry.
The spearmen mainly uses the length advantage of the spear in their hands to kill people, which can help to resist the enemy, and can even be used to resist the chariot. The spearmen mainly uses the tail of the gun to slant to the ground and aim the head of the chariot at the chasing chariot.
Perhaps a spear cannot stop the chariot that charges, but when several or even dozens of spears are aimed at the chariot together, the only result of the chariot at this time is that people are overturned.
When the formation of the spearmen is disrupted, the beryllium soldiers will use their strong assault formation to push out the incoming enemies with their strong assault capabilities, or use the beryllium in their hands to sweep the cavalry off the horse. At this time, the spearmen will quickly replenish their enemies and clear the enemy in the formation.
So soon dozens of heavy cavalrymen who rushed into the formation were all hooked and dropped. Once each cavalry fell off his horse, several spears were waiting for him.
Heavy cavalry has the advantage in horse-mounted cavalry, especially in terms of chopping and slaughtering infantry and chasing, but heavy cavalry has two unavoidable disadvantages.
One is that it is precisely because heavy cavalry needs heavy armor protection that each person is carrying dozens of kilograms of weight. Once he falls off his horse, it is almost difficult to get up again.
The so-called light cavalry or heavy cavalry has nothing to do with their armor protection. The heavy cavalry generally refers to cavalry whose main task is to carry out charge operations, while the light cavalry mainly uses projection weapons such as bows and arrows to conduct harassment, reconnaissance and other operations.
So as long as you are a cavalry, once you fall off your horse, it will almost be equated with death.
But in the near future, another type of cavalry will appear on this continent. The heavy armor worn by this cavalry can be disassembled and wear heavy armor when it needs to charge. When chasing or raiding on the side, it will take off its heavy armor and go into battle lightly.
This kind of equipment of troops that have never appeared on this continent comes entirely from Nangong Shang's hands, of course this is a later story.
