Chapter 1636: Pound Break Qiang (Medium)

At a distance of 100 paces, the Xianbei cavalry released the arrows in their hands towards the Qiang soldiers on the opposite side, followed by the counterattack of the Qiang soldiers.

Cavalry can inflict great damage on the enemy with bows and arrows, and similarly, if the enemy army has well-trained archers, it can also create a deterrent to their own side, which is why cavalry will scatter their formation when charging on the battlefield.

In this way, the casualties caused by enemy archers can be greatly avoided.

The Xianbei cavalry is good at riding and archery, and has been fully exerted on such a battlefield, but seeing the arrows one by one, constantly taking the lives of the Qiang soldiers, in terms of protection, although the Qiang soldiers have shields, but their protection is always too weak.

As for the cavalry of the Qiang people, they are not weak in terms of riding and archery ability, but compared with the Xianbei cavalry, the gap is too large, and they can only be passively defended.

After two rounds of arrows, the Xianbei cavalry approached the Qiang soldiers.

After about a quarter of an hour of fighting, the Qiang infantry and cavalry were surprised to find that the Xianbei cavalry, which had just been fierce and vicious in their eyes, had given them a great shock, as if they had changed in close combat.

After noticing this scene, many Qiang generals scolded the Xianbei people for being incompetent, obviously having a huge advantage in cavalry and shooting, but they gave up the advantage and fought at close range with their own side.

However, such a situation is extremely beneficial to the Qiang soldiers, and they wish that the Xianbei cavalry would be more stupid.

The Qiang Chinese army, after Dian Ling learned about the situation of the cavalry battle, he was relieved a lot, if there was a mistake in the strength of the Xianbei cavalry, it would affect the battle between his own army and the Han army on the front, and the result of defeat was not what Dian Ling wanted to see.

On the frontal battlefield, Niu Fu led the remaining army and launched a fierce attack on the Qiang people, with a huge advantage on the crossbow of the bed, and when fighting the Qiang people, the Han soldiers firmly had the upper hand.

Especially on the frontal battlefield, there are 300 Han cavalry, these cavalry, completely on the battlefield, as long as the cavalry appears, can always cause the death and injury of the Qiang soldiers, even if the Qiang soldiers are brave, not strong enough to face the cavalry and not change their faces.

In the face of cavalry, it is already a great test for the Qiang people's foot soldiers, but when facing the cavalry charge, their formation will inevitably be loose, and this time is the time when the Han soldiers are in their front army, the strength of the Han army foot soldiers is not weak, and they have a huge advantage in adding blades and armor, and the cavalry's response makes them have an absolute upper hand on the battlefield.

Niu Fu was very fond of this method of warfare, these cavalry seemed to be a mobile army when defending the city walls, and where the enemy appeared to be strong, they would attack and make the enemy fearful.

After Dian Ling learned the news of the front army, his face was gloomy, he didn't expect the Han army to be so shameless, using the advantage of cavalry to constantly create advantages in the front army, if it goes on like this, the Qiang army will be at an absolute disadvantage.

However, at this time, Dian Ling has absolute trust in the Qiang soldiers, how many times the Qiang army has experienced hard battles, but it has come over again and again, and the strength of the army is getting stronger and stronger, this is the advantage of the Qiang people, and it is strange if the foot soldiers of the Han army cannot win.

"Chief, I am afraid that these cavalry of the Han army were deliberately done by the enemy, in order to be able to achieve absolute superiority on the frontal battlefield and then achieve victory." Zhang Qi frowned.

Dian Ling's expression froze, "If that's the case, what should I do?" ”

"Chief, the combat effectiveness of the Xianbei cavalry is nothing more than this, judging from the situation on the battlefield, just relying on two thousand foot soldiers and one thousand cavalry is enough to contain these cavalry, if you mobilize a thousand foot soldiers and send them to the front army, in this way, you will definitely be able to change the situation on the battlefield, as long as you can break through the Han army's foot soldiers head-on, you will be able to win this battle." Zhang Qi said slowly.

Dian Ling was silent for a long time and then nodded and agreed, the cavalry was indeed as Zhang Qi expected, although it broke out with strong combat effectiveness at the beginning, but after the battle, it became weaker and weaker, this situation is definitely good news for the Qiang army, no one wants the enemy to become strong.

Defeating the Han army on the frontal battlefield is the most important thing in the eyes of Dian Ling, which can dampen the spirit of the Han army to a greater extent, and these light cavalry are just Xianbei people, if the Han army is defeated and retreated, how can they last long.

In this regard, Dian Ling still analyzed it very well, but he ignored who the commander of the Xianbei cavalry was, if he knew that the main general of the Han army led the Xianbei cavalry to charge, and the commander of the Han soldiers was a general in the army, I don't know how he would feel.

When Pang De led the Xianbei cavalry to fight with the Qiang cavalry and foot soldiers, he was completely on the battlefield, but he had the advantage of cavalry, and he also made some gains on the battlefield, but the feeling to the Qiang soldiers was that the Han army was nothing more than that, as long as they were cautious, they could contain the illusion of these cavalry.

Seeing the Qiang people's foot soldiers retreating from the battlefield blocking the cavalry, Pang De showed a sneer on his face, it seems that his own army has caused a lot of damage to the Qiang people on the battlefield, otherwise, the Qiang people will not mobilize the foot soldiers to retreat at such a critical moment.

Pound still led the cavalry to wander around the flanks of the Qiang army, and he had to wait for the opportunity to come, and once the two frontal armies were in a stalemate when the two armies were in a stalemate, it was time for him to lead the cavalry to charge.

The cavalry had a strong impact on the battlefield, which was the key to Pound's defeat of the Qiang.

An hour later, the battle between the Qiang people and the Han army, to the extent of white heat, the two sides did not back down at all, with the help of cavalry, Niu Fu persevered in this battle, initially with the help of bed crossbows and cavalry, the Han army was once in an advantage, but with the Dian Ling sent foot soldiers to kill again, and after the war was stalemate, the courage of the Qiang soldiers made many soldiers look a little afraid in the face of the Qiang soldiers, especially the soldiers wearing red clothes on the battlefield.

Niu Fu, who noticed this scene, blushed slightly, these soldiers were his subordinates in the past, but he didn't expect that on the real battlefield, these soldiers who claimed to be warriors on weekdays actually had a fear in front of the Qiang people.

After the non-commissioned officers develop a fear on the battlefield, it is extremely terrifying, and fear can make the non-commissioned officers of the army unable to exert half of the strength shown in their usual training.
