The mounted cavalry is a killer weapon that the Great Sui Empire spent a lot of money to build, and the whole country is only tens of thousands of horsemen.

However, these tens of thousands of mounted cavalry, on the battlefield of pacifying Nanchen and resisting Beidi, repeatedly rushed to break through the enemy and tore through the enemy's defense line, which can be called a killing weapon in the battle array.

The mounted cavalry not only wears heavy armor for knights, but also wears full protective horse armor for its horses, which has a strong protective ability.

The 10,000 mounted cavalry led by General Long first marched slowly, slowly increasing speed, and then galloped at full speed, and the whole army formed a wedge-shaped formation, attacking the 10,000 rebel light cavalry that was arrayed.

The formation of 10,000 mounted cavalry charging at full speed was heart-palpitating.

Jin Ge Iron Horse, ten thousand horses galloping, the earth trembled, and the heaven and earth lost color.

Sima Jiu looked at the scene on the battlefield from afar, and the amazing momentum of the ten thousand horsemen charging into the formation, he felt it for the first time.

He didn't know what kind of mentality the rebels on the other side were at this time, but he knew that if he were on the other side, he would have been terrified.

The high-speed advancing steel front, perhaps, will crush everything in its path.

Sima Jiu had already foreseen the fate of the rebels on the other side.

"Yasheng Mencius: Such an earth-shattering formation, this is the first time the old man has seen it."

"Yuquan old man Yelu Chucai: There are many battle formations you haven't seen, you have to go."

"Group Leader Sima Jiu: Everyone, what kind of battle formation is General Long arranged?"

"General Wang Meng: The Yellow Emperor's Five Elements Formation, also known as the Muyuan Formation, the Sharp Formation, and the Bird Xiang Formation, is one of the offensive formations used by the mounted cavalry, and it is also one of the most impactful battle formations."

"General Wang Meng: The Art of War: The front and back are high, taking advantage of the void and taking advantage of the chaos, because of its topography, it is advantageous and can win the Chong Fang. In short, the Emperor's Five Elements Array was more suitable for cavalry attacks. ”

"General Wang Meng: The art of war is cloudy: sharp in front and back open, extending obliquely, easy to leave and right, and conducive to maneuvering. Therefore, this formation is mainly used for impact phalanxes. ”

"General Wang Meng: You see, the knights in the first few rows of the army are holding long lances, which are for impact heavy weapons, and behind them, there are knights carrying several javelins, and I think the javelins should be used for throwing. Almost all knights are equipped with melee heavy weapons, such as heavy knives, axes, and the like. ”

"Group Leader Sima Jiu: What's so special about this?"

"General Wang Meng: This formation and weapon combination should be one of the most powerful attack methods for mounted cavalry."

"General Wang Meng: Through high-speed impact, tear apart the opponent's defense line, and in the attack, the mounted cavalry will defeat the opponent through coordinated operations within the formation, as well as the overall power of the formation."

"Group leader Sima Jiu: So the rebels on the other side ......"

"General Wang Meng: Behind the mounted cavalry, there are 10,000 light cavalry, I think they should attack after the mounted cavalry breaks through the enemy's battle formation."

"Old man Yelu Chucai of Yuquan: In this way, the fate of the rebels on the other side ...... It's worrying. ”

"General Wang Meng: If the rebels attack as soon as they arrive here, instead of defending in formation, perhaps, it will be a different situation."

"General Wang Meng: After all, the combat effectiveness of the mounted cavalry that loses speed will be greatly reduced."

"Group leader Sima Jiu: The general is worthy of being the heir of the military family, and the group leader admires it."

"General Wang Meng: Where, where...... It's over. ”

......

On a high ground in Crescent Jin, Shi Xiang watched the battlefield in front of him with satisfaction.

On the other side, at this time, it is a different story.

A general beside Yu Tian reminded: "Yu ...... General Yu, the enemy is starting to charge! ”

"What's the panic?"

Yu Tian understood his situation, and the 10,000 light cavalry under his command would definitely not be able to resist the impact of the mounted cavalry.

However, the military orders were like a mountain, and he had no way out.

"The enemy's mounted cavalry is extremely impactful, and our 10,000 light cavalry may not be able to compete with it."

"General Yu: The last general suggested retreating two miles to avoid its edge."

"Back off?"

Yu Tian flatly refused: "No, at this moment, once you retreat, the whole army will collapse without a fight." ”

Subsequently, Yu Tian immediately ordered: "Order: The whole army is in an offensive formation, avoiding the front of the enemy, spreading out to the left and right flanks, and attacking the enemy's flanks. ”

"Command!"

With the sound of war drums, the 10,000 light cavalry under Yu Tian's command quickly divided into left and right wings, and launched a counterattack against the oncoming mounted cavalry with the momentum of encirclement.

Shi Xiang took in the reaction of the rebel light cavalry.

A white-haired general beside Shi Xiang reminded: "The rebels did not retreat, but attacked. ”

"There is no chaos in the face of danger, and the rebels on the opposite side must be the elite troops under the command of Yu Gongli."

A Scarface general said, "So what, the Imperial Iron Horse, will crush everything." ”

Shi Xiang said: "It seems that the rebel generals are by no means idle. ”

Subsequently, the white-haired general said: "General Long has been on the battlefield for a long time, and I believe that he will not disappoint the general." ”

Shi Xiang looked at the battlefield indifferently, and it seemed that he was not impressed by the rebels' counterattack.

On the battlefield of Crescent Moon.

After noticing the change in the formation of the rebels, General Long decisively ordered: "The mounted cavalry turns to the left and right flanks to meet the rebels head-on, and the light cavalry is dispatched to surround the enemy." ”

When a few war drums sounded, the troops on the left and right flanks of the mounted cavalry quickly dispersed to the left and right, and the troops on the middle road continued to attack for a certain distance before turning to the left and right flanks.

After the mounted cavalry, the light cavalry, which had not moved, also moved when the drums sounded.

The battlefield of Crescent Moon is not large, and it is imperative for the two armies to clash.

In the blink of an eye, its striker was already close at hand.

When the two armies were about two hundred paces apart, the light cavalry under Yu Tian's command began to shoot at the Imperial Mounted Cavalry with bows and arrows.

Ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, covering the sky and the sun, but the damage caused by light bows and arrows to the mounted cavalry was negligible.

The vast majority of the arrows were directly bounced off by the heavy armor of the mounted cavalry, and only a few arrows passed through the places not covered by the armor, causing limited damage to the mounted cavalry.

The rebel light cavalry rode all the way, but it did not affect the mounted cavalry, and could not even force it to slow down the attack, let alone disrupt its formation, which deeply disturbed the rebel light cavalry.

When the two armies were seventy or eighty paces apart, the knights with javelins in the mounted cavalry began to throw javelins at the rebels.

Dense javelins, piercing the air and with the sound of howling wind, fell into the ranks of the rebel light cavalry, which had little protection from heavy armor.

The javelin is far more lethal than a light bow and arrow, whether it is against a knight or a warhorse.

In the blink of an eye, the rebel strikers were either killed or wounded.

The speed of the light cavalry charge was very fast, and most of the cavalry and horses who were stabbed by the javelins did not even have time to react, and were trampled by the horses that followed closely behind, and they were killed and wounded.

The horses and knights who fell to the ground became fetters on the road of the light cavalry, and for a while, the formation of the rebel light cavalry became extremely chaotic.

Despite this, mounted cavalry did not stop firing javelins.

Round after round of javelins, almost sweeping the path of the mounted cavalry.

After the mounted cavalry fired a third round of javelins, the rebel light cavalry formation was in disarray, and the two armies immediately engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
