One thousand one hundred and ten Su Li was afraid
Looking at the battlefield from a distance from Su Li's point of view, he was very shocked to find that all the Wei cavalry he saw did not use the classic cavalry tactics.
All the tactics used by the Wei cavalry were close combat, they only used their legs to stabilize their bodies, and they used both hands to hold long weapons in battle, and they were very brave.
Not only those ironclad cavalry who are fully armed with helmets and armor, but even those who do not have full body armor can easily do this, fighting with both hands, and their bodies are very stable and brave.
It's scary.
In the face of their long weapons, the Xianbei cavalry seemed at a loss, and could not fight against them at all.
A small number of Xianbei cavalry had time to release arrows, and they could shoot some Wei cavalry, but once they were surrounded by more people, they would not have time to bend their bows and arrows before they would be pierced through the body by a spear, or cut into two pieces with a knife, and blood would be spilled on the spot.
Why can all of them fight at close quarters on horses with long weapons in both hands?
That's impossible! That's impossible! It's fake!!
Su Li roared silently.
However, this is true.
The Wei cavalry marched all the way, and the huge number of Wei cavalry continued to approach him, gradually forming a trend of encirclement, and there was a tendency to counter-encircle the main force of Su Li's department.
Wei Yan's heavy cavalry had already begun to storm the front of his Chinese army, bringing a bloody storm, a large number of Xianbei cavalry fell off their horses and died, and the main Xianbei force was facing a trend of collapse.
Seeing that this face-to-face war is about to be won.
Despite this, in the face of the charge of the Wei heavy cavalry and the outflanking cavalry, there were still some Xianbei cavalry who put up quite a brave and fearless resistance.
I don't know who took the lead, but after they found that the weapon confrontation effect was very limited, they actually used the method of flying and pounced, trying to knock the Wei army's heavy cavalry off the horse, so as to kill him.
In the high-speed gallop, they flew from their horses and pounced on the Wei cavalry, and they scuffled with the Wei cavalry, and as a result, if they were lucky, they could fall down with the Wei army's heavy cavalry, and then be trampled to death by other war horses.
Seeing this, many Xianbei cavalry found that they could not fight against these Wei cavalry with weapons in their hands.
The opponent's weapons are long and heavy, and their own weapons are short and light, they are not opponents at all, and the only way is to rush up and fly and pounce, and play extreme one-for-one with them.
Or two for one, or three for one.
For the sake of their families, for their children, for their relatives and friends, for their property, and in order not to let them be enslaved, these Xianbei cavalrymen were red-eyed and decided to use their lives to counter the huge superiority of the Wei army.
They have excellent riding skills, they have grown up on horses since childhood, gallop across the grassland, and can make some difficult tactical moves without relying on horse harnesses, which is their advantage.
So one after another, the Xianbei cavalry with superb horsemanship, stimulated by the crisis of national extinction, galloped towards the Wei cavalry.
Rushing to the front, they saw the opportunity and flew away, using the powerful impact force to overturn the Wei cavalry and dismount together, and the two rolled to the ground together.
Either they fell to death or lost consciousness on the spot, or they continued to scuffle together, and then waited to be trampled alive by the coming and going enemy or their own horses.
In such a fierce battle, they carried out their mission in such a way.
In the face of the heavy cavalry of the Wei army, such a method of course also had an effect.
Although the Wei army's heavy cavalry has a thick defense, a flying pounce may be useless, but there are many people who are flying, and there will still be heavy cavalry who will be pulled and thrown off the horse.
Those Xianbei cavalry were dying, and they were about to pounce with open hands.
Regardless of whether he would be killed by the mace iron rod, or the timing of the flight was wrong, he directly pounced into the air and fell to the ground hard, either directly falling to death or being trampled to death by the war horse.
They don't care about that at all.
Because the head-on confrontation cannot be defeated at all, it can only be sent to death, rather than sending death in vain, it is better to fly vigorously and vigorously, as long as someone can overturn these heavy horses to the ground.
It is true that many heavy riders have been overturned on the ground, and they have fallen heavily on the ground, and they can't get up at all, and those who are unlucky fall to death directly, and those who are lucky are lying on the ground and are difficult to move, and the survival rate is very low.
There were also some heavy cavalrymen who were knocked over by the flying pounce of the Xianbei cavalry, and the men and horses fell together, either to death or to fracture.
Once it falls, the heavy cavalry does lose its combat effectiveness.
In this way, the Xianbei cavalry really brought a lot of trouble to the heavy cavalry and light cavalry of the Wei army.
But it is very difficult to play the extreme one-for-one with the Wei cavalry in such a way of human bombs, many times it is not one-for-one, three-for-one is considered a high ratio, and it is very difficult to exchange five for one and ten for one.
The timing of their flight was not easy to grasp, and the Wei army was not completely unable to dodge.
With the help of horse harness, the Wei cavalry could make various tactical moves more easily to avoid, and the act of flying and pounce was still quite dangerous.
As for the heavy ride, the speed itself is very high, and the quality is also very large, if the impact is not strong enough, it will be directly knocked away, and they will not be knocked over, unless many people work together to hit and pounce, there is a chance to overturn the heavy ride.
Therefore, from the perspective of the Xianbei people, the scene of this war is extremely bloody and tragic.
Countless of their own people flew up, desperately trying to stop the advance of the Wei army, and a large number of Xianbei cavalry were killed on the spot.
There were also some Wei cavalry who were thrown off their horses and died in the same way.
It is difficult to see the odds of victory at this ratio, I don't know how many Xianbei cavalry can kill a Wei heavy cavalry, and the lethality of the Wei heavy cavalry to the Xianbei cavalry is extraordinary.
With a wave of the mace, I don't know how many people will die on the spot.
And the ordinary cavalry of the Wei army on both flanks are also constantly winning victories, constantly sweeping obstacles and galloping towards victory.
This made the Xianbei people feel that their resistance was futile, that death was meaningless, and that the general trend of the entire battlefield had not changed.
Even though they are really brave and brave.
But what's the point?
Su Li saw that the Wei army was too numerous, and his side could use the flying tactics to block the Wei army's charge for a while, but it would not last.
If he delays any longer, once a critical point is reached, the army will completely collapse, and when the time comes, not only will the heavy cavalry not be able to stop it, but the outflanking of the Wei light cavalry on both wings will also kill him.
Courage has a time limit, and in this situation, being unable to resist is the biggest trend!
Faced with this trend, in the face of the anxious inquiries of his subordinates, the corners of Su Li's mouth twitched, realizing that such a tragic resistance was coming to an end, and he would not be able to continue any resistance, so he directly issued the order to [retreat].
"Can't fight! Remove! Remove! Withdraw it! Retreat all! Absolutely no more fighting! If you continue to fight, you will all die! The Wei people have a treacherous plan! There are treacherous schemes! ”
As soon as Suli gave the order, he instigated his horses to begin to retreat.
Or rather, running away.
He was scared, he was going to run away.
When his cronies saw that Sully had run away, they quickly followed him and ran with him.
The subordinates, you look at me, I look at you, they were all shocked, and quickly followed up and retreated comprehensively, with no intention of continuing to stay.
Obviously, when the outcome of this war was not yet fully clear, Sully had already put an end to this war in advance, and announced his defeat in advance.
It can't be said that he did something wrong, but if he had done this earlier, he might have ended better.
But on such a battlefield where the battle was still raging, and on such a battlefield where so many Xianbei cavalry were still resisting, Su Li obviously did not think too much about it.
He was scared.
In the face of Wei Yan's ferocious momentum, he was afraid.
