This was the first battle of the 20,000 imperial cavalry, and under the command of Han Shizhong, the army split into four and rushed towards the Jin country rangers who remained on this plain.

Seeing that the empire actually sent cavalry, the Jin generals reacted quickly, and those cavalry units with only about 100 people directly converged together, and finally formed several armies of more than 1,000 people, which met them without fear.

The firearms of the Chinese Empire are indeed the first in the world at present, and the Jin people also have their own pride, that is, their cavalry, so instead of retreating, these Jin generals who commanded the army decided to teach the imperial people on the opposite side a good lesson, so that they know what cavalry is.

Han Shizhong's cavalry was divided into four teams, that is to say, each team had about 5,000 people, and the cavalry that Jin Guo met was only more than 1,000 people each, so the imperial troops had the absolute upper hand in terms of numbers.

Li Nan, who was standing on the city at this time, observing the battle situation in the distance with a telescope, shook his head slightly after seeing this scene.

When the cavalry of the two sides was still two arrows away, the galloping Jin cavalry began to use their legs to control their horses, bend their bows and arrows, and prepare to attack.

As the two sides got closer and closer, just when the imperial cavalry was still calculating the range and raising their muskets to shoot, the more than 1,000 Jin cavalry had already released arrows at the same time, and then all the cavalry were divided into two, and they changed from rushing forward to galloping to both sides, drawing two beautiful C-shaped trajectories on the battlefield.

At present, after continuous improvement, the Empire's musket has a shorter range than the Jin Kingdom's bow and arrow, and the distance of shooting the enemy is about the same, so normally it will form a state where you shoot me and I hit you.

After the thousands of iron cavalry of the Jin Kingdom released their arrows, they immediately turned to the sides and fled, but the arrows they shot at this time hit the oncoming imperial cavalry, and from this point it can be seen that the cavalry of the two countries had their respective experiences in the battle.

Thousands of arrows hit the Imperial cavalry, and dozens of people immediately fell from their horses, and this is because the Empire has equipped them with highly protective double-layer armor this time, otherwise the number of dead and wounded will definitely not be this number.

Caught by the Jinmen's attack, the Imperial cavalry, full of rage, also counterattacked, and the long-handled muskets in their hands opened fire with a thud, shooting at the enemies who were making sharp turns.

In the first wave of contact, the casualties of the imperial army were less than those of the Jin State, but this was not a face-showing thing, because this situation was entirely due to the large difference in military equipment between the two countries, and in fact, the imperial cavalry suffered a big loss.

"Rubbish!" The cavalry of the Jin Kingdom, galloping north, mocked loudly.

The fledgling Imperial cavalry was even more furious when they heard this, and hurriedly chased after them to destroy these golden people, but the horse speed of the Jin cavalry, who was not wearing armor and was far more skilled than the imperial cavalry, was faster than them, so they couldn't catch up at all.

Next, the inexperienced Imperial cavalry was like children, being played by the Jin cavalry who played the guerrilla cavalry tactics.

These Jin cavalry kept a distance of 80 to more than 100 meters from the imperial army at all times, and did not continue to flee north, but ran in circles here, turning back from time to time to kill and wound the enemy with bows and arrows, using a cavalry tactic of "you advance and I retreat, you retreat and I chase", relying on the advantage of maneuver to constantly disgust people.

Looking at his own cavalry, whose formation began to become scattered, Li Nan sighed: "Our cavalry troops are still too tender!" ”

Sienna, the commander of the Fifth Army of the Empire, said softly: "Although they have fought in the west, they have not experienced a real war at all, and I believe that they will become better in the future." ”

"Well, I hope so." Glancing at the current ugly battlefield situation, Li Nan waved his hand and ordered: "Order, let Han Shizhong cooperate with the other legions!" ”

After receiving the instructions, the heralds at the head of the city hurriedly held high two flags, one red and one green, and waved them.

Han Shizhong, who saw the order, although he was unwilling, still commanded the four cavalry units under his command to act according to the order and brought the cavalry of the Jin State to the predetermined location.

A few years ago, the cavalry was the undefeated king of the battlefield in this plain area, and they galloped so far that no one could stop them.

Time passed, and this slowly changed in the face of the Chinese Empire, which was constantly developing industrial technology.

The Imperial Infantry Corps relied on powerful gunpowder weapons with increased firing speed to the point where they could compete with any class of troops in any terrain.

While the Jin cavalry was engaged in a battle with the Imperial cavalry, Kress and Leonidas had already commanded their troops out of the city, and they directly bypassed the area where the two cavalry were fighting, and arranged an encirclement on the outside of the battlefield.

The people of the Jin Kingdom had already discovered the movements of the Imperial Infantry Corps, but they were proud not to take these infantry seriously except for sending men back to the large battalion in the rear to warn them.

When the Jin cavalry was lured into the ambush circle by Han Shizhong, the encirclement formed by the imperial cavalry and infantry had been completely completed, and the thousands of Jin cavalry who realized that something was wrong at this time also immediately rushed in the direction of no one.

Naturally, the Imperial Army would not be stupid enough to show so many flaws, so when the Jin cavalry rushed there, it was immediately the end of people turning over on their backs.

If you look closely, you can see that these empty places, among the wild grass, there are many items painted yellow and green, they are all over the place, and it is these inconspicuous little things that pierce the soles of the golden soldiers' horses.

According to common sense, on this kind of plain without any obstacles, the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom did have enough confidence to choose any direction and easily break out of the encirclement.

"Hanshu Wei Xiang Biography": "Relying on the size of the country, the people of Jin, and those who want to see the enemy, they are called proud soldiers, and those who are proud of the soldiers are destroyed." ”

Just as the people of the Jin Kingdom thought, the Imperial Infantry Corps was indeed unable to complete a tight encirclement in this terrain, but they forgot the technological level of the Imperial Army.

Tribulus terrestris, which can pierce horses and human feet, has been born since the Han Dynasty in China, and has been stocked in the armies of various dynasties since then, but it is the Chinese Empire that has transformed this defensive equipment to the extreme.

Instead of the traditional four iron thorns, the thistles produced by the Imperial Arsenal have been replaced with eight stronger and sharper steel thorns, and they are all connected in series, which can be quickly spread out to create a long-distance blocking belt.

A single thistle doesn't play much of a role on the battlefield, but when hundreds of thistles pave the way ahead, it really forms a land of death.
