Yang Miaozhen's fifteen hundred cavalry rushed forward as if committing suicide against the infantry formation of the Tianping Army.

When entering the 100-step distance of the infantry formation of the Tianping Army, several rows of archers located in front of the infantry formation began to shoot.

Fifty paces into it, the Three-Eyed Gunner in front of the large array began to fire.

Among Yang Miaozhen's 1,000 cavalry, there were 400 heavy armor, 600 light armor, and even 500 auxiliary soldiers were wearing protective chest and abdominal armor and a rudimentary iron helmet.

The Jin Army's infantry six-bucket infantry bow, and the powerful and touching three-eyed gun, at a long distance, to Yang Miaozhen's almost all armored cavalry, the damage is very limited, although many people and horses were injured, but most of the injured horses lost the ability to run and stopped.

This group of cavalry soon rushed to a distance of less than thirty paces from the advance of the Tianping Army, and by this time, the three-eyed gunners had already run out of bullets, and they were trembling with three-eyed guns, ready to fight hand-to-hand.

Without the Three-Eyed Gun, the archers in the front row seemed to lack firepower, and the arrows shot were sparse, even with the support of more than two hundred crossbowmen in the formation, it did not cause much trouble to Yang Miaozhen's iron cavalry.

In the incredible eyes of everyone, the Yang family's iron cavalry, who rushed to the Tianping army formation less than thirty paces in front of the formation, actually stopped, they braved the rain of arrows, quickly dismounted, and quickly listed a horizontal formation in front of the Tianping army.

Yang Miaozhen's cavalry was a squadron of 150 people, and in a squadron, there were 40 heavy armor soldiers, 60 light armor soldiers, and 50 auxiliary soldiers.

When the soldiers are fighting on foot, the formation is very simple, a squadron is a small square of 10 by 10, the first four rows are heavy armor soldiers, and the last six rows are light armor soldiers.

A squadron is a relatively independent combat unit, after they dismount, they leave the auxiliaries in place to make horse stakes, and the soldiers quickly move forward, very quickly lined up in a simple formation.

In the queue, the first two rows were only two meters apart, and the two rows of soldiers inserted their rifles into the soil in front of them, quickly took off their large bows, and drew their arrows to shoot straight at the opposite side, and the second row also shot straight forward from the gap between the soldiers in the first row, and they all aimed at the opposite side of the face door that was only more than 20 meters away, and the enemy was exposed outside the armor.

For these cavalrymen, shooting at the enemy's face from a distance of more than 20 meters is basically a sure thing.

The third row of the team lined up five or six meters away from the second row, and they raised their bows and arrows slightly and threw them at a small angle towards the opposite phalanx.

The fourth row is another five or six meters away from the third row......

When these dismounted cavalrymen stuck their spears in the ground and removed the large bows from their waists, they all became foot archers, and they were strong archers who used eight-bucket bows (more than a hundred pounds).

Yang Miaozhen currently has only ten squadrons in total, and these ten squadrons are very simple and lined up, pouring an astonishing density of arrows on the opposite side.

Although there were also 1,000 shooters in the opposite Tianping army, among these 1,000 people, there were 500 three-eyed gunners and foot archers distributed on the three sides of the large array, and there were less than 200 people on the front, and there were only more than 200 crossbow archers.

The three-eyed gunner had already finished his bullets at this time and became a short gunner, and there were only more than a hundred archers in front of the large array, and the crossbow was slow to load, and in terms of rate of fire, three crossbow archers could top one archer.

That is, the hand, Yang Miaozhen, a thousand dismounted cavalry, at this time, the projection density is more than five or six times that of the opposite side! And they shoot armor-piercing arrows!

The three-eyed gunners and foot archers in front of the Tianping Army's large array, who had no armor protection, were quickly emptied by the terrifying rain of heavy arrows before they had time to think of escaping.

After the archer fell and the armor soldiers behind were exposed, the situation did not get much better, the hundred-pound strong bow, the armor-piercing arrows shot at a close range of thirty or forty meters, even if they were armored, were difficult to block, not to mention, the strong archers on the opposite side were also specifically aimed at the enemy's front door.

If someone looked down from a high altitude at this time, he would find that the platoon of the Jin Army's large array quickly recessed inward!

At such a close range and under such a terrible shot, I am afraid that even the Mongolian iron cavalry, which is known for its discipline in this era, will be unable to hold on, let alone the Jin army, whose morale is already insufficient.

Collapse is inevitable.

When he found that the large array on the opposite side was in chaos because the soldiers in front of him turned and fled, Yang Miaozhen decisively gave the order to pursue.

Hearing the order to pursue, the cavalrymen, who were archers just now, put their bows back into their waists, pulled out their cavalry spears on the ground, and reincarnated and ran towards their horses.

After most of the men were on their horses, the captain of each squadron gave the order to charge.

The archers just now immediately turned into fierce shock cavalry and rushed towards the chaotic Jin army.

Once the military formation in the era of cold weapons begins to collapse, it is difficult to stop, and the chaos will form a chain reaction and eventually lead to a complete collapse.

This was the case with the Jin army in front of Yang Miaozhen, driven by the cavalry, they collapsed so quickly and completely that the cavalry behind them didn't have time to react remedy.

When Yang Miaozhen drove the rout to the cavalry in the rear, this group of Jin cavalry could only helplessly withdraw from the battlefield.

In just half an hour, Yang Miaozhen's cavalry defeated the 3,000 partial divisions sent by Wanyan Pingtao, and reorganized the team and camped on a small dirt slope by the river a few miles away from Wanyan Pingtao's base camp.

was held against the waist by a strong cavalry with a spear, and the city of Wanyan Pingtao naturally could not be attacked again.

He could only withdraw from the siege and retreat more than ten miles south to camp.

Yang Miaozhen also took the opportunity to move to camp in the north of Laizhou City, and confronted Wanyan Pingtao across the city.

After more than ten days of confrontation between the two sides, news suddenly came, and Li Quan, who had been standing still, also began to move slowly towards the battlefield.

Whether it was Yang Anguo who was trapped in Laizhou City, or Li Quan, who came here and stopped, Wanyan Pingtao didn't pay attention to it, but Yang Miaozhen's more than 1,000 cavalry made Wanyan Pingtao feel like a man's back, and it was difficult to sleep and eat.

The dispatch of this thousand cavalry was too strange and too fierce, and Wanyan Pingtao felt that in addition to the more than 100 flying sand cannons in his hands, there was almost no other means to deal with this cavalry.

But the other side is a pure cavalry, and the cavalry has one of the greatest advantages, that is, it has the right to choose whether to fight, or not to fight, where to fight, and when.

Although the flying sand cannon is a light artillery, no matter how light the cannon is, it is also a heavy weapon.

There is a way to be a thief for a thousand days and not for a thousand days to prevent thieves, being targeted by such a powerful cavalry, as the commander of the infantry, he has to keep one eye open when he sleeps, and once he is caught by the other party, he may be a big heel.

Yang Anguo, although Li Quan is not worth mentioning, if Yang Miaozhen's cavalry seizes the opportunity when fighting with these two sides, it is possible to send Wanyan Pingtao to the land of no return!

Therefore, Wanyan Pingtao chose to withdraw the army.
