Brush Brush Brush ......

In the silence of the night, only the footsteps of Qi Brush were ringing, the Northern Coalition troops marched in silence, no one spoke, and the regular sound of armor and muffled horses' hooves accompanied by the croaking of frogs in the fields formed a marching symphony.

The soldiers walked at a pace between jogging and walking, and their expressions could not be seen in the darkness, but each soldier's eyes were astonishingly bright, as if they were already looking forward to the glory that would come after the great victory in the future.

"Toot-"

At this moment, a hurried whistle suddenly came from the front, and then it sounded from all directions, practicing into one piece, quietly cutting through the long night.

"Alert!"

Ian on the front line was the first to shout, and suddenly all the soldiers began to form a formation, looking ahead nervously.

They knew that the whistle would mean that the enemy had been discovered.

Li Lingyi sat on his horse and looked into the distance.

His eyes could see at night, so when he looked beyond the layers of night, he saw rows of armoured, neatly lined up soldiers approaching.

At this time, the northern coalition army was naturally spotted on the opposite side, and the army immediately stopped, and the soldiers in the front row began to disperse quickly to the side, while behind them, the tall horses gradually revealed their outlines.

This situation was not seen by others because of the darkness of the night, but Li Lingyi was instantly shocked, because he saw that those tall horses were also covered with heavy armor, and the same was true for the cavalry who stepped forward.

Obviously, this is a group of well-trained heavy cavalry, and old Tywin intends to take advantage of the night to charge directly with heavy cavalry, which is very bold, but once successful, he can gain an absolute advantage!

Think about it in this kind of dark night when you can't see your fingers, and suddenly be rushed by a group of heavy cavalry, then the Northern Coalition Army is unguarded and the forward is estimated to be directly defeated, and when Tywin leads the infantry to kill it in one go, then the Northern Coalition Army will definitely suffer heavy damage.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Lingyi immediately ordered the shield soldiers and spearmen to line up to block the front, while the cavalry prepared to charge.

Several generals were taken aback when these words came out, but Li Lingyi also said directly: "The enemy is preparing for a heavy cavalry charge. Seeing that a few people didn't believe it, he pointed to his eyes again, "My eyes are a little special, and I can see at night." ”

As soon as these words came out, no one would have an opinion, and the spear and shield soldiers immediately began to line up in the front, and after the previous training, these soldiers did not panic.

At the same time, the cavalry also gathered on the flanks of the army, most of them were soldiers of the Flagless Family, after all, the Flagless Family produced the most military horses, and there were naturally more cavalry.

If the other side rushes over later, Li Lingyi can also repay the favor in his own way, but the Northern Alliance is not as rich as the Southern Army.

To be honest, covering the entire body of a horse with heavy armor is worth the total cost of equipment for three or four soldiers. At the beginning, Li Lingyi also thought about building such a heavy cavalry, but after calculating the price, he really couldn't afford to build it, so he retreated and got about a thousand light cavalry.

Of course, there is a reason for the expensive, and it can be said that in most cases, the heavy cavalry is almost invincible on the plains. No one can stop the battlefield, as long as it is the era of cold weapons, whether it is the East or the West.

For example, during the Three Kingdoms period of China, the cavalry was called a precious, except for Dong Zhuo Han Sui Ma Teng in Liangzhou, Liu Yu in Youzhou, and Yuan Shao in Hebei, others could not take out the cavalry team at all. Even in the later period, when Cao Cao was defeated in Chibi and took Huarong Road, he also asked some weak soldiers to pave the road with grass on their backs, in order to let the cavalry escape. It can be seen that the status of cavalry in Cao Cao's heart is simply a baby pimple, and he would rather lose a large number of infantry than a small part of the cavalry.

Therefore, in the world of power, cavalry and even heavy cavalry are the most precious types of troops in land warfare, and ordinary families cannot afford to supply them at all, and only a behemoth like the Lannister can create a heavy cavalry army.

"It's coming!"

Li Lingyi was awe-inspiring at this time, he saw that the cavalry group on the opposite side had begun to sprint to this side, and the speed quickly increased, and the dull and rapid "dong dong" sound was getting closer and closer!

Old Tywin can be seen wrapping a thick layer of linen around the horse's hooves in order to eliminate the sound as much as possible, which is also a painstaking effort. If Li Lingyi hadn't been there, the raid would have been successful, but Old Tywin would never have imagined that his enemy would have such good eyesight and could see things thousands of miles away in the middle of the night.

"Raise the gun!"

Li Lingyi looked at the heavy cavalry in front of him, and ordered the spear and shield soldiers to raise their spears and shields, and the next moment these cavalry appeared in front of the Northern Alliance Army like black lightning, screaming and crashing into the shield.

Knock knock bang!

There was a sound of falling flowers and flowing water, and the dozens of heavy cavalry in front of them all turned on their backs, but they also tore open the mouth of the Northern Coalition Army, so that the cavalry that came one after another could rush in and fight.

The roar tore through the night, because there was preparation in advance, so this group of heavy cavalry did not cause too much damage, many cavalry were directly stabbed to death by the Northern Coalition army with a flurry of spears, and even smashed their heads with shields, in short, how to kill people.

As soon as Li Ling saw this, he immediately sent cavalry to launch a counter-charge from the flank, using the enemy's cavalry momentum as a cover, and directly killed the enemy's own position.

After a round of collision, the northern cavalry also quickly withdrew, and Li Ling's order was to only rush once, otherwise when Old Tywin reacted and ordered a package, then these cavalry would probably all have to be trapped in the infantry formation.

So the two sides went back and forth, although the northern army had already taken precautions, and the southern army was successfully attacked in a hurry, but in fact, the losses on both sides were not much different, and even the northern army killed more soldiers.

On the one hand, it is also because the cavalry of the Southern Army are all heavy cavalry, and they are wrapped in heavy armor from people to horses, and it takes half a day to kill people or horses. On the other hand, there is the issue of the quality of the army, and Li Lingyi clearly observed that compared with the southern army, the northern coalition army is inferior in terms of the speed of order execution and the overall quality of the soldiers.

But he definitely won't say it directly, it will be useless except to damage morale, so not only did he not tell the truth, but he also said with a happy face: "Great, the other side has lost a lot of soldiers!"

The soldiers of the Northern Coalition were very happy when they heard this, and they could not care about the pain of their comrades' deaths for the time being. By this time, the cavalry on both sides had retreated from each other, leaving dozens of corpses on the ground.

"Hurry up and clean up!" Rams came out of nowhere at this time, and yelled at the soldiers: "Arrest those who are still alive, and I will interrogate them myself later!"
