Chapter 492: Victory in the First Battle

Under Cao Liang's dedicated training, the Yuecai battalion has undergone a year of hard training and experienced the baptism of the Hanzhong Battle, and the effect is also quite good, especially Cao Liang's drill on the cavalry battle formation, which has significantly improved the cooperative combat ability of the Yuecai battalion.

In contrast, the Huns are more like a group of rabble, although their cavalry riding skills are more exquisite, and the individual combat ability is stronger, but this kind of competition of thousands of troops and horses, the overall advantage must be stronger than that of individuals, and the Yue cavalry battalion resolutely implemented the battle formation fighting style, and the fighting spirit of the Huns was destroyed in one fell swoop.

Deng Ai saw that the Vietnamese cavalry had successfully broken through the Huns' defensive line, and immediately ordered the war drums to be beaten and issued an order to change the formation.

The Spindle Battle Array is a marvel at breaking through enemy formations, and the sharp head of the formation is like a wedge that can easily cut through enemy lines.

However, after completing the breakthrough, it is not appropriate to continue to maintain this formation, if the spindle formation continues to move forward, the best result is to cut the enemy's defense line in half, but the effect of such an attack is unsatisfactory, and the killing and casualties of the enemy are insufficient.

Therefore, after the Yue cavalry battalion rushed into the enemy formation, Deng Ai immediately implemented a change of formation, changing the spindle formation into a two-wing flying formation, and changing the longitudinal attack method of a single arrow to a horizontal attack method of two wings.

The most vivid metaphor is that the Yue cavalry battalion inserted a knife into the abdomen of the Huns, and then tore open the wound from the left and right, revealing the internal organs of the Huns.

The Yue cavalry battalion heard the change of the drum beat, and immediately changed the formation, and the kind of training day after day made the Yue cavalry battalion's change of formation quite skillful, as if it was a conditioned reflex, and immediately changed from a vertical attack to a horizontal attack, and continued to maintain the momentum of crushing the Hun cavalry.

The Hun cavalry was completely chaotic into a pot of porridge, in the face of the strong and powerful offensive of the Yue cavalry battalion, the Huns seemed to be a little caught off guard, when the front was broken by the Wei cavalry, they were still depressed, why did the strength of the Wei cavalry suddenly rise sharply?

But the nightmare of the Huns did not end there, after the Yuecai battalion changed formation, although they no longer rushed forward, but their spearhead turned to the sides, and the Hun cavalry on both sides that had not been affected before became the target of the Yuecai battalion in an instant.

The attack method of the two wings of the Yue cavalry battalion flying together is like a flowering in the center, and the attack surface at this time is much larger than the previous spindle array, which pursues sharpness, concentrating elite forces on one point, and breaking through the enemy's defense line strongly.

The two-wing flying formation pursues breadth, attacking the enemy on the largest level in order to seek the greatest attack effect.

If the Yue cavalry battalion used this large-scale attack method at the beginning, it would be difficult to break through the opponent's defense line, but now it is different, because the Yue cavalry battalion has penetrated into the camp of the Huns at this moment, the Huns' defense line is already fragmented.

Under the sweep of the Yue cavalry battalion, the Huns had already begun to rout, and at this time, it was less than a quarter of an hour from the contact battle between the two sides to now.

Liu Yue was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood, this time he dispatched about half of the soldiers and horses to block the Wei reinforcements, in his opinion, it seemed to be more than enough, as long as he could defeat this Wei army reinforcements, looking back, Pingyang City was already within reach.

But this crisp defeat of the Hun cavalry made Liu Yue suddenly discover that the Han cavalry could also be so powerful, and as soon as they fought, they completely destroyed the defense line of the Hun cavalry.

The Huns have a characteristic of fighting, that is, they are good at fighting with the wind, as long as the first battle is won, the momentum of these Hun soldiers will be raised, the fighting spirit will be high, and the more they fight, the more courageous they become.

But if you lose the first battle, you will become depressed and slumped, and you will not be able to organize any effective counterattack except for fleeing.

That is to say, when the Huns are weak, they are strong, and the more they fight, the smoother they become, and the stronger they are, the more they fight, the more frustrated they become, and the morale of the army is lost.

In the face of the crushing and sweeping attack of the Yue cavalry battalion, the Huns did not think about how to resist to turn the situation around, but desperately turned their horses' heads and left in the wilderness.

As for whether they will be caught up by the Wei army, it is no longer what they are considering, in the frenzied escape, it does not matter whether you can win or not win the opponent, the key is that you have to run faster than the compatriots around you to survive.

The Huns fled in frenzy, and no one wanted to be the last to be hunted down by the Wei army.

After the defeat of the Hun cavalry, there was no suspense on the battlefield, it was completely one-sided, and the Vietnamese cavalry galloped vertically and horizontally, invincible and unstoppable.

Because the Hun cavalry scattered and fled, the Yue cavalry no longer needed to maintain a complete formation, in order to pursue the Huns, they fought separately and pursued the Hun rout.

In this case, the Huns did not have any will to fight, even if their riding skills were clever, they could only be used to drive the war horses to escape, the whole battle situation changed suddenly, and the defeat of the Huns was irretrievable.

Liu Yue originally planned to reorganize the attack and put the reserves that had not participated in the battle before, but the defeated troops that poured over like a tide rushed Liu Yue's organized defense line to pieces.

And for the vigorous pursuit of the Yue cavalry, Liu Yue was also panicked, he took the lead in turning his horse away and fled.

After Liu Yue fled, the Huns had no backbone, and even the last bit of war spirit disappeared, and all the Huns followed Liu Yue's ass, a kind of wild escape, only hating that the war horses under these crotches did not grow a pair of wings.

The Yue cavalry battalion pursued and killed more than ten miles all the way, killed countless Huns, and also captured a lot of war horses, ordnance and materials, the Huns fled lightly, almost throwing away everything that could be thrown.

Deng Ai saw that his side had won a big victory, but he was afraid that the other party would have an ambush behind, so after the Yue cavalry chased ten miles, Deng Ai took the initiative to collect his troops and summoned the Yue cavalry battalion back.

This can definitely be regarded as a hearty victory, so that after hearing Mingjin, the Vietnamese cavalry are still a little reluctant, if they continue to pursue, they can achieve greater victories.

But the sound of gold is an order, and if you don't obey the order on the battlefield, you will lose your head, so the Vietnamese cavalry had no choice but to restrain their horses, look at the Huns who were far away, and sigh secretly, and turn back one after another.

The Hun soldiers, who had escaped exhausted, heard the sound of the Wei army's gold, which was simply a life-saving sound, and they were lucky to be able to escape the pursuit of the Wei army.
