When the cavalry was hedging, the speed of both sides was raised to the extreme, and the impact that erupted from this was very huge!

The cavalry at the front of the two sides intervened into each other at the moment of contact, and the saber held by the cavalry was able to seriously injure the enemy almost without blowing the blow with a slight stroke.

However, when they rushed up, the Tatar cavalry found that there were fewer companions around them, and at the same time, the Tang cavalry on the opposite side was densely packed.

What are you kidding, isn't it your own cavalry that is more?

How can when the actual combat contact, your own cavalry is less!

When a Tatar cavalryman finally flashed the swords of two consecutive Tang cavalry, but was finally cut off by the third oncoming Tang cavalry, his face was full of disbelief, he couldn't understand how he could encounter so many Tang cavalry!

In the fight, he almost had to face three Tang Army cavalry alone, even if his riding skills were superb, but it was impossible to win at such a disadvantage!

And what happened to this person was not alone, but universal, at this moment, countless Tatar cavalry who rushed up to fight with the Tang cavalry found a very terrifying situation, that is, they almost had to face two or even more than three Tang cavalry at the same time.

What about their comrades-in-arms?

Where are they?

Why do you have more people, but you are in a situation where you are besieged by most of the Tang cavalry?

They don't understand!

However, these Tatar cavalry who were deeply besieged did not know that most of their comrades-in-arms were also confused at this time!

They rushed up, but the formation of the Tang cavalry on the opposite side was very dense, almost shoulder to shoulder, and the interval between their own cavalry was very large, and this led to the fact that when the Tatar cavalry rushed up, the combat width was far greater than that of the Tang cavalry!

And this also means that in fact, at this time, a considerable part of the Tatar cavalry in the front row did not fight with the Tang cavalry, and could only pass by with nothing to do!

The cavalry of the Don Army, like a dense wall of cavalry, rushed into the scattered Tatar cavalry!

This creates a very bizarre situation!

The number of Tatar cavalry was even larger, even more than three times that of the Tang cavalry, but in fact, the Tatar cavalry that fought with the Tang cavalry was less than one-fifth.

And this is also the core advantage of the Tang cavalry's wall-mounted charging tactics!

In an engagement per unit area, the Tang cavalry can always concentrate more cavalry than the enemy's traditional cavalry, thus creating a tactical superiority in strength!

Then through a denser formation, maintain a consistent formation, and use the power of collective combat to supplement the disadvantage of the cavalry's own quality!

And this tactic has frequently made meritorious contributions in many battles of the Tang cavalry, especially in large-scale charge duels!

There is such a saying in the Tang cavalry, if it is a single horse against a single horse, and the Tang cavalry against the professional cavalry of the Ming Army, it will be the result of defeat!

It was dozens of horses against dozens of horses, if the other party was flexible enough, then the Tang cavalry would also lose more and win less.

But when the scale of the battle continues to expand to the scale of hundreds of cavalry, then the Tang cavalry will often be able to occupy an absolute advantage!

This is because in small-scale operations, it is more dependent on the cavalry's own personal combat effectiveness, and the individual combat power of the Tang cavalry, to be honest, is not as elite as the border cavalry of the Ming army.

If it is a large-scale operation, then it will rely on collective operations, and the role of the individual will be rapidly reduced.

This is also the reason why the Tang cavalry always likes to concentrate the cavalry and use it!

All units of the Third Army have cavalry units, but in case of a major war, in addition to maintaining the necessary reconnaissance cavalry for each unit, the main cavalry battalions and teams are often concentrated, and then cavalry detachments are established.

This is because the Tang cavalry themselves also know that they can't take advantage of small-scale cavalry engagements, but if it is a large-scale cavalry engagement, then they can occupy an absolute advantage.

The Ming army has also realized this tendency in recent years, so the Ming cavalry has not fought large-scale cavalry duels with the Tang army in the past year or two, but prefers to reduce the scale of cavalry engagements as much as possible through small-scale reconnaissance and harassment operations, so as to change this disadvantage.

But the Tatar cavalry had never fought with the Tang cavalry, and this time, it was the first time they had fought with the Tang cavalry, and it was a large-scale cavalry duel.

This also caused the Tatar cavalry to have an advantage in total strength, but in fact, the Tatar cavalry in the battle was in an embarrassing situation of local disadvantage.

And what does this lead to?

Naturally, it led to a large number of casualties among the Tatar cavalry!

In such a large-scale cavalry battle, no matter how good your riding skills are, you can't stop the swords of the previous servants!

This kind of brutal cavalry hedging warfare, like hand-to-hand combat in the infantry, will produce a large number of casualties in a short period of time, if the two sides are equal in strength and tactics, then it will be a simple war of attrition, but if the strength of the two sides is not equal, then the weak side will collapse immediately.

Are Tatar cavalry weak? Not weak!

Are there fewer Tatar cavalry? Many!

But the Tatar cavalry, which was not much weaker, was being pressed and beaten by the Tang cavalry, which only had 1,800 cavalry.

In this scene, not to mention that the ordinary Tatar cavalry felt that something was wrong, even the Buzhgood in the rear also felt that something was wrong!

This situation is really too weird, this battle is the same as when I charged the Tang Army's infantry phalanx before, it is very weird!

If this continues, I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties again, and after this thought came to Buzhgood's heart, he once again decisively ordered a retreat!

Now that the situation is so strange that if the fight continues, I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties, and Burigood feels that it is necessary to retreat for a moment or two, and then think about how to fight.

However, although Buzhgood ordered a retreat, the battle between the cavalry was not a simple cavalry attack on the infantry.

When the cavalry attacks the infantry, as long as the situation is not right, it will naturally leave if you want to!

But the duel between the cavalry and the cavalry, especially if the two sides are still hedging at high speed, it is not considered to be able to go if they want to, except for the cavalry who did not participate in the battle on the left and right sides can retreat calmly, the Tatar cavalry who fought with the cavalry of the Tang Army in the middle, even if they want to retreat, they have to rush over first.

Under the high-speed charge, they couldn't stop at all except to continue to rush down, and they couldn't even turn, there were Tang cavalry on the left and right, you said he could turn to where he could turn?

In an instant, the Tatar cavalry in the charge became three parts, the Tatar cavalry on the left and right parts, through a slight turn, was separated from the battle between the two sides, but the Tatar cavalry in the middle part continued to fight with the Tang cavalry!

The two sides were like two spearheads, directly hedged against each other, and on the way to the two sides, they left behind the corpses of cavalry and the screaming war horses!

It didn't take long for the cavalry led by Lu Yuzhi to penetrate through the Tatar cavalry array like sharp arrows, and the remaining Tatar cavalry finally rushed out.

But at this time, Burigood in the rear was glaring angrily!

In this hedging, at least more than 1,000 cavalry failed to rush out, and if you count the nearly 3,000 cavalry that were lost in the Tang Army's infantry phalanx before, he has lost 4,000 cavalry today, no, it should be said that in less than a quarter of an hour in the past!

Although his heart was full of anger, he also knew that he couldn't continue to fight today, and who knew what means the Tang army on the other side had not come up with!

"Let's go!" After taking a deep breath, Burigood directly gave the final retreat order!

Seeing the remaining more than 5,000 cavalry of the Tatars disappearing, Lu Yuzhi was also relieved!

After the hedging just now, his third cavalry detachment was also under great pressure!

Of course, more than a thousand Tatar cavalry were killed and wounded, but their own casualties were also more than four hundred!

1,800 rides, less than 1,400 remained!

If the Tatar cavalry on the opposite side does not give up and hedges a few more times, it will certainly be able to inflict more casualties on the Tatar cavalry, but his third cavalry detachment may also be completely disabled.

Now that the Tatar cavalry has taken the initiative to retreat, he has not led the cavalry to continue the pursuit, and if he continues to pursue, he is afraid that he will encounter unnecessary trouble.

At this time, Chen Keqiao also brought the officers of the Fifth Infantry Division to join on horseback!

"Brother Lu, the cavalry duel just now can be called a model of winning more with less, today, your third cavalry detachment has greatly increased the prestige of our Tang Dynasty Division!" After Chen Keqiao arrived in front of Lu Yuzhi, he unceremoniously gave him a big hat!

Lu Yuzhi laughed: "What is this, but Brother Chen, you meet the battle with 10,000 infantry, but you can kill and injure thousands of enemy horses, this kind of combat feat, Lu Mou can't catch up with the horse!" ”

Chen Keqiao said: "Okay, you and I don't flatter each other, let's go, let's have a good chat on the ship, Lin Duoyi of the Navy is still waiting for us!" ”

Lin Duoyi at the mouth of Chen Keqiao, the commander of the Navy's Canal Fleet with the rank of rear admiral, was the main person in charge of the Navy's cooperation with the Army in this northward operation.

This time, he personally sat in the 1st Detachment of the Canal Fleet and fought with the 5th Infantry Division.

The two commanders went to the boats moored in the canal to meet with Lin Duoyi of the navy, but the other officers and men of the 5th Infantry Division and the 3rd Cavalry Detachment were not idle.

On the one hand, they have to treat their own wounded, and on the other hand, they have to capture those Tatar captives who remain on the battlefield, and then they have to deal with a batch of trophies that are very important enough to make all the Tang cavalry generals drool, that is, war horses.

The Tang army had a lot of results in this battle, and there were not a few captured war horses.
