Xu Jian knew very well that at this time, the fighting style of this armored cavalry had nothing else complicated except for charging.

They had been preparing for a long time, lined up in five columns, with twenty steps between the front and back of the queue, and two steps between the left and right, and gradually accelerated in a broken step. When the cavalry of the two sides were two hundred paces apart, Xu Jian and the others began to run.

The military Sima on Yuan Shaojun's side knew that if he turned around and fled at this time, the horse's physical strength and terrain problems would not be for the time being, even if his back was facing the enemy, it would be too dangerous. However, as the elite of a hundred battles, they also have a way to deal with cavalry charges.

More than 400 light cavalry of the Yuan army took out a single short bow, and when they were one hundred and fifty paces, they threw them into the air with all their strength, and shot another round in one hundred and twenty steps.

When it comes to less than 100 paces, it is no longer a projectile, but a direct shot aimed at the first row.

However, the cavalry of Tong Yuan's army had already picked up, and they did not have time to fire another volley, and most of the soldiers picked up the ring-headed sword to meet the battle.

Xu Jian's mounted cavalry quickly rushed through the bow and arrow to cover this distance, and began to slow down within twenty paces. This battle-tested and trained cavalry operates differently against cavalry and infantry.

When facing infantry, they try to maintain their speed and increase their impact power, striving to apply all their speed and weight to the infantry. In the face of cavalry, Xu Rong has summed up over the years that when engaging the enemy, the speed should be reduced and the advantage of the first blow of the horse lance should be fully utilized.

If the lance does not stab the horse in the first blow, and the horse is very fast, and rushes directly into the middle of the enemy cavalry with combat weapons, I am afraid that the back and flanks will be attacked.

Therefore, we are now adopting more mature tactics. That is, to slow down when engaging the enemy, to ensure that when the horse lance stabs the opponent, it will not rush into the enemy group.

Twenty paces behind, the comrades in the second row, slowed down together. In this way, the people behind can choose to stab and dodge the enemy with the first blow, or they can follow the comrades in front and slowly kill into the enemy group, and the front and rear two horse lances cover each other.

The cavalry of the third and fourth rows, depending on the situation in the first two rows, will either continue to follow and kill the fish that have slipped through the net, or directly insert into the space between the left and right people to ensure the killing density of the enemy behind.

As soon as the battle fell, Yuan Shaojun's light cavalry was wiped out in an instant, and the people behind were also in front of several horse lances in front of him, unable to approach the distance where the fighting weapon could be counterpressed.

This terrifying method of warfare has completely changed the experience of the usual fighting cavalry to restrain the shock cavalry, and the military Sima of Yuan Jun just now also dodged the first two rounds of stabbing attacks, but in the face of the four horse lances in the back, he was directly pierced in the heart.

However, Yuan Shaojun's quality was relatively high, and General Wen Chou was following behind, so the rest of the people did not advance but retreated, but tried hand-to-hand combat. It's a pity that after fighting for a while, there is no other effect than paying a five-to-one exchange ratio.

"Bell, bell, bell!"

The sound of gold sounded, and Xu Jian and his men retreated in an orderly manner. The remnants of the Yuan army did not dare to fight, so they quickly retreated and walked across the stream.

Xu Jian hurriedly found the scout team rate of Fang Cai Mingjin and asked why Mingjin warned him when there was only a little enemy left. The scout team hurriedly reported the emergency: "The enemy army has more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, and it has reached a distance of less than two miles. ”

Xu Jian was suddenly alert, Na Wen Chou was the top three famous generals of Yuan Shaojun, even if there were only more than 1,000 people, but he might not be unprepared and fight directly. In that case, the story of this mounted cavalry will probably come to an end for the time being.

Xu Jian ordered a temporary retreat and moved closer to the main force. If the enemy presses too hard, and then executes the plan of ambush and counterattack, anyway, this cavalry has excellent technical and tactical capabilities, and will not cause chaos at all because of a temporary retreat.

However, although Wen Chou did not have many soldiers and horses, he was unwilling to suffer losses, and he still pursued Xu Jian. Seeing that he could faintly see the back of the other party, he even took two thousand soldiers and horses and ran with all his strength to pursue.

Xu Jian was thinking, this person counterattacked the winner with a defeated army, and pursued the cavalry with infantry, either he was a reckless man, or he had something to rely on, and he was not afraid of his armored cavalry at all.

In this case, in the flat place in front, complete the rotation and short repair, and make a frontal mounted cavalry charge to see if Na Wen Chou has the strength to catch it.

When Wen Chou led the panting 2,000 soldiers and horses to catch up with Xu Jian and more than 500 mounted cavalry, the latter had already lined up in a horizontal shock formation and had been waiting for them for a long time.

"Humph! Jean Chi. Wen Chou arranged for his subordinates to set up a formation, and he personally went to the center of the two formations, and shouted: "Come out and answer!" What army are you? Is there a steward? ”

In this era, when there is a war, it is common to have a dialogue in a formation. Some of the conversations are about war and peace, some are about places and ideas, some are greetings to family and grandparents, in short, it's a process.

If you don't say anything, don't wait for the other party to rest and line up, and rush directly to the past, you will definitely win a lot.

However, he knew that there would be more people behind the other party, and there were lords and armies not far from the mounted cavalry, so he was not in a hurry to eat the other party with his current strength.

Xu Jian didn't go out of the battle, and said directly: "I am Xuanwu Xu Jian, now serving as a subordinate of General Pingbei, and the Third Cavalry Brigade of the Dreadnought Army joins the army." Dare to ask you, but you are General Wen Chou? ”

Wen Chou saw that the other party didn't dare to go into battle, so he gave up his plan to shoot the other party. He said angrily: "The Xiliang army is brutal, you are not from Xiliang, but close to us, why don't you abandon the darkness and turn to the light?" lest the heroes gather, the Dong family and the Xiliang group of thieves will be wiped out. ”

Xu Jian said: "General Wen don't have to laugh, what is the situation on the Han border, you should also know." If we border people and border armies do not unite, we will bring about our own destruction, and it will be people like the famous people of the court and your lord who will destroy us. ”

"General Wen, listen to me, then Yuan Benchu looked down on us warriors at all, every thing he thought about was his family background, reputation and strength. He trusts you because you saved him. But what about his children? And we're not all the way at all. ”

Although Wen Chou is older, he is not good at braiding his tongue. He went out to ask the other party to talk, and his original intention was to rely on his superb archery skills to kill the opponent in seconds and deter the enemy. Now that the other party is cautious, he doesn't have this opportunity.

So he scolded: "Clever tongue! Your sneak attack on our army is simply human behavior, and you have a slight advantage for a while, so you are arrogant. It seems that either you don't have a father, or your father is a dog! ”

"Hahaha!"

Even though Yuan Jun was tired, he laughed along with Wen Chou's words.

Even though the Xinxi Liang Army defeated them somewhat, deep down, they still acquiesced to Yuan Shaojun's first place. At this time, Wen Chou shouted and scolded in front of the battle, and they were not afraid.

"Damn, just scold me, insult my father. Brethren, prepare for battle! ”

Xu Jian was furious, and his father Xu Rong cared for him very much. He knows the hardships of life in troubled times, and remembers his father's love and cultivation for him.

The words just now were only come up with after he thought about it carefully, coupled with the frequent discussions between Tong Yuan and everyone in the military and political system. Unexpectedly, as soon as it was over, my father was scolded directly, which was too annoying.

More than half of the mounted cavalry here are veterans of the border army who have followed Xu Rong for many years, and when they heard Wen Chou's abuse like this, they all wanted to fight to the death, so no one came out to persuade Xu Jian.

"The third battalion of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade listens to the order! Penetrate the enemy army and leave no mouth alive! ”

"Penetrate the enemy army! Leave no mouth alive! ”

Wen Chou showed a disdainful expression and shouted: "Fighting is not only about equipment and means, now I will let you see what a real man is!" ”

The soldiers behind him had already formed a cone formation to attack and attack according to the order. That's right, the infantry-based Wen Chou soldiers and horses were lined up in a dense cone, intending to use this formation to meet Xu Jian's mounted cavalry.

"Roar! Roar! ”

"Kill! Kill! ”

The armored cavalry of the dreadnought army did not slow down, and directly rushed into the dense formation of Zheng 2,000 infantry dominated by Yuan Shaojun's crowd, which could not be compared with the five hundred armored cavalry in terms of momentum, but none of the infantry retreated, and all of them were hard-hitting.

In an instant, dozens of Yuan soldiers flew up, and many more infantry were knocked down or wounded internally. However, instead of being defeated, they attacked the cavalry from the flanks and from behind as much as possible.

The most intense is the position of the cone tip of the cone array. Wen Chou actually relied on his strength and martial arts to resist the impact of the mounted cavalry.

As the cavalry charged, he skillfully steered his horse, avoiding a hard collision with the heavily armored horse, but squeezed through the gap and avoided the thrust of the heavy lance.

At the same time, he used the iron gun in his hand as a blunt weapon to swing it left and right. Although it could not penetrate the fish scale armor, the iron spear, which was spinning like flying and weighed more than fifty catties, directly swept the cavalry passing by him off his horse.

The mounted cavalry in the back row saw that Wen Chou had overturned his comrades in front, and immediately raised his horse lance and stabbed straight at Wen Chou.

The iron spear in Wen Chou's hand turned into a defensive weapon, and he used the iron spear to knock open the tips of the two horse lances with lightning speed.

However, if the long pole of the horse lance is scratched to Wen Chou's body, under normal circumstances, he will definitely fall off the horse when he is hit by a high-speed heavy horse lance.

But Wen Chou's strength is outstanding, and his body wearing armor is cleverly through direction and toughness, and he was stunned to withstand the impact force and was not knocked off the horse.

In an instant, the two sides staggered, and the iron spear of more than 50 catties in Wen Chou's hand was as flexible as a clever sword, and he split the left and right attacks, and shot down the two of them.

Xu Jian had been staring at Wen Chou for a long time, thinking that this time he would rush directly to the front row, and he and this armored cavalry could finally successfully kill the enemy's main general. never thought that not only did he not take down Wen Chou, but he also killed so many soldiers.

He was armed with an iron spear and a ring-headed sword, and although he was less than twenty years old, he had been fighting with Xu Rong for nearly ten years. In terms of martial arts, he is confident that he can rank first in the Xiliang Army.

This time, he had to stop Wen Chou first, and let the army surround and kill the thief together.
