Chapter 181 The cavalry trial clearance!(1/3)
Success!
Zhao Haiping felt excited and had a little more confidence in passing this trial fantasy.
This was a method of play that he had thought about for a long time. Unexpectedly, he achieved great results on his first try.
The horse-backing spear is commonly seen in many ancient records, and has also been repeatedly interpreted in various storytelling or storybooks and other literary stories.
It seems to have become synonymous with the amplified moves of ancient famous generals such as "let go".
In the modern spearmanship, there is also a specific movement like "returning the spear".
Zhao Haiping once saw an old man who was proficient in marksmanship use a carbine in a movie. It was indeed outstanding in terms of practicality and ornamental value.
It's just that for the carbine in infantry combat, in addition to the series of actions of pushing forward with the right hand, raising the left hand, and flying the tip of the spear over the shoulder, there is also an additional step of kicking and twisting, which makes the carbine more powerful.
And if it's a horse fight, you can't kick your legs and twist your body. You can only twist your body to the side and back. In terms of lethality, it will be slightly weaker.
But the action of turning back the carbine does have some special meaning on horseback.
Especially in horse battles without stirrups, it is indeed a great weapon.
The reason why he thought of studying the carbine style of play was because of Zhao Haiping's previous experience of being knocked off his horse when he stabbed an enemy general when two horses were facing each other.
As we all know, the effects of forces are mutual.
Two generals were riding horses against each other. In the era without stirrups, they could only rely on the friction between their legs to clamp the horse's belly to ensure that they did not fall off the horse. But when the horses were running fast, this reaction force would reach the weight of the generals themselves.
Many times, it is almost impossible to withstand such a powerful reaction force by friction alone.
The situation with the carbine is different.
Because the situation in which the carbine is used is when the enemy general is pursuing him, and he and the enemy general are in tandem.
At this time, the carbine is used to stab the enemy general. On the one hand, it takes him by surprise and attacks him unprepared, so that the enemy general cannot react to the sudden thrust from the front, greatly increasing the chance of hitting him. On the other hand, it uses the impact of the enemy general's horse to attack him.
This greatly increases the lethality of this gun.
After this shot hits, the enemy general will definitely fall off his horse even if he does not die.
The more critical point is that because the carbine attacks backward, the reaction force of the enemy general's horse charging will push Zhao Haiping forward.
In this way, there is basically no risk of falling off the horse, as long as the body leans forward and releases the force.
After the emergence of stirrups, the carbine basically only had the advantage of surprise. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the carbine appeared less and less as a ultimate move in later dynasties.
With this killer move, Zhao Haiping's hope of breaking through the siege has been greatly improved.
He rode Chi Ji and ran wildly into the enemy's formation, while quickly searching for flaws in the enemy's formation.
Those soldiers who fell into chaos when changing formations, or soldiers who lacked fighting spirit, or the huge gaps that appeared during the formation changing process, would become breaches and be completely torn apart by Chiji's high speed.
Zhao Haiping has repeatedly studied these flaws many times. Although the situation will change every time and requires adaptability, it is no longer difficult for him to do.
If an enemy general comes to intercept, Zhao Haiping will act accordingly, either avoiding it and leaving it to the deputy general behind him to deal with it, or killing him with a horse-drawn gun. In short, he will never waste too much time on these deputy generals.
After a wild gallop, Zhao Haiping finally came to Gao Yi.
Under his command, Gao Yi is also riding a tall horse with a very gorgeous armor and stomach, and is directing the battle.
Seeing Zhao Haiping coming, Gao Yi had a shocked expression on his face.
Obviously, at this time, General Qin Kaiyun, played by Zhao Haiping, has penetrated deep into the enemy's formation, or it can be said that he is trapped in a tight siege.
There were not many elite cavalry behind him who could keep up with him. Many of them encountered obstacles on the way and were forced to stop and fight.
At this time, the formation of the army led by General Qin Kaiyun was pulled into a steel awl, and a huge gap was opened.
But once this gap is closed, these elite cavalry who advance rashly will be trapped in a tight siege and will be unable to escape.
"act recklessly!"
Gao Yi pointed the spear in his hand forward and turned the horse's head towards the direction where Zhao Haiping was charging.
The lieutenants beside him also clapped their hands and wanted to stop Zhao Haiping.
At this time, Zhao Haiping had already entered a state of unity between man and horse. He knew that the key at this time was speed. The longer he hesitated, the higher the chance of failure.
Because the deputy general covers the main general, Gao Yi, the main general, also has more reaction time.
"Protect the general!"
Some lieutenants were already trying to surround him, but Zhao Haiping completely ignored him. He just used his long spear to hold off the weapon from a distance, and then continued to sprint forward.
At this moment, he only had Gao Yi in his eyes.
Many weapons came towards Zhao Haiping, but he suddenly leaned down on his horse to avoid it, but the long sword in his hand was not affected at all.
At this moment, everything around him seemed to have stopped. Even the shouts of death were getting farther and farther away, leaving only the sound of the howling wind.
"middle!"
Zhao Haiping knew that he only had one chance, but he had already tried this opportunity many times.
There was a strong reaction force from the long spear, and Zhao Haiping could feel the tip of the spear piercing Gao Yi's armor, and then stabbed him under the horse!
Since the two horses were not facing each other this time, Zhao Haiping could avoid falling off the horse if he changed his posture to maintain balance and clamped the horse's belly with his legs.
But he happened to relax his legs at the moment when the two horses crossed each other, and jumped off the horse.
The reason is very simple. According to previous historical records, the goal of this copy is not to end with the assassination of Gao Yi.
What follows is also critical.
"Spur your horse straight to stab him in the midst of thousands of troops, and behead him before returning. None of the generals can resist, and the siege is lifted."
There are still two key steps, one is to behead him and return him, and the other is to show that all the generals are incompetent.
If you cannot complete these two links, you will not be considered as passing the illusion trial.
Zhao Haiping took advantage of the reaction force of the stab and jumped off the horse. The whole process was smooth and natural.
Gao Yi was stabbed and fell from his horse, but he was not completely dead at this time, but only temporarily lost his ability to move.
Zhao Haiping directly pulled out the Huanshou knife from his waist and chopped off his head with a wave of his hand.
There was a "pop" and blood splattered everywhere!
The scene was a little bloody, but for Zhao Haiping, after all, he had seen all the big scenes in the Martial Soldier dungeon, so he didn't care too much about this trivial matter. The top priority was to get out of there as soon as possible.
He quickly tied Gao Yi's head to his waist, and the famous horse Chi Ji had already arrived beside him.
Horses understand human nature, let alone a famous horse like Chi Ji that can go down in history.
Zhao Haiping got on his horse again and rushed in the direction of his army.
"Stop him!!"
The eyes of several of Gao Yi's lieutenants were red.
The general was killed in the middle of two armies, in full view of everyone. The first reaction of these lieutenants was of course shock, but after the shock, it was not panic or cowardice, but anger.
All the generals in ancient times were killed in mountains of corpses and seas of blood, but you can scare others with your domineering aura? How is that possible?
In the real world view, there is no such thing as domineering and domineering.
Therefore, for these lieutenants, the most important thing at the moment is of course to snatch back the leader's head immediately and to stop Qin Kaiyun at the same time.
As long as Qin Kaiyun can be killed, this battle will not be considered unfairly lost.
Several enemy generals were already outflanking them from different directions. Zhao Haiping waved his long spear and charged straight in the direction of his own elite cavalry.
"Support General Qin!"
Of course, our lieutenants and cavalry also saw this scene, their morale was greatly boosted, and everyone started a fierce battle around Zhao Haiping!
In the chaos, Zhao Haiping did not need to continue to fight with these enemy generals. It was still the same as before, either riding his horse to avoid them, or deflecting the enemy's weapons during the confrontation. If that didn't work, he would stab the enemy generals off their horses. The ultimate goal was
It is to break out of the siege as soon as possible.
The formation was completely chaotic, and countless people were rushing towards Zhao Haiping.
Zhao Haiping himself was a little disoriented, but relied on instinct to defeat enemies one after another, gradually approaching his own formation.
Finally, as General Qin's army launched a general attack, Gao Yi's troops finally retreated.
The siege is over!
Rushing back to the main formation, Zhao Haiping gently reined the horse.
At this moment, everything around him temporarily came to a standstill.
Immediately afterwards, his vision gradually increased, reaching high in the sky, overlooking the entire battlefield.
Zhao Haiping looked at the position of General Qin Kaiyun, and then at the enemy's chaotic Chinese army, still a little unbelievable.
Did he actually successfully break into the enemy's formation and then break out again?
It’s like a dream!
…
The moment Zhao Haiping rode his horse out of the enemy formation, a line of small words finally appeared in his field of vision.
