"Woo-"

With the sound of horns, two clouds of smoke and dust rose from the plain, and in the flying smoke and dust, one after another galloping war horses stood out, carrying knights with light armor and bows on horseback, and went straight to the military formation on the river bank.

"Captain, look, the cavalry of the White Wave Thieves has been dispatched!"

After Xi Zhicai heard the horn of the march sounding in the direction of Guo Tai's banner on the hill, he kept straightening up on horseback, paying close attention to the specific movements of the Baibo army on the opposite side.

So as soon as he saw the smoke and dust raised by the galloping cavalry, Xi Zhicai immediately turned his head and said to Yan Xing.

Yan Xing bowed slightly, Mrs. Guo was not arrogant after all, thinking that with an army of more than 40,000, he could push everything sideways, and drive all his 6,000 soldiers and horses into Fenshui without much effort.

However, the Baibo army on the opposite side was outnumbered and had the tendency of Mount Tai to suppress it, but it still did not dare to attack directly, but sent cavalry to test the military formation of Yan Xing's side, which shows that Guo Tai's ability to use troops is only at the level of the second or third rate.

Yan Xing personally experienced a similar battle, when Xu Rong led his cavalry to the edge of Bianshui, he also met Cao Cao's army who was waiting for work and waiting for battle, how did Xu Rong and his Xiliang army deal with it at that time?

After observing the Cao army's military formation on the opposite side, Xu Rong boldly ordered the cavalry troops to dismount and cooperate with other foot soldiers to directly attack Cao Cao's large array.

The soldiers and horses were dispatched, the invasion was like fire, the movement was like thunder, and once the battle was engaged, the Cao soldiers had no backhand, and then they broke through the flank of the Cao army's array, and the entire Cao army's large array was chiseled through from the side, burying tens of thousands of Cao army's horses in one fell swoop.

The current Guo Tai, although he has a large army, does not have the courage to break the determination to break with one blow, but chooses a safe method of warfare, and wants to use the advantage of troops to defeat Yan Xing's army, which is basically the same as Yan Xing's previous plan before crossing the river, and Yan Xing is more comfortable to deal with the offensive of Guo Tai's Baibo army.

"Order, Niu Song and Yang Feng led two hundred Chinese army iron cavalry to move to the side of the attack channel of the left flank army formation, and the front row of Zhang Shi lay down under the big flank, and no false arrows were allowed, and after the enemy cavalry advanced to fifty paces, the order of Wei Sima prevailed, and the arrows were fired together!"

After Yan Xing gave the order, he handed over the command of the front to Wei Xuan, and then quietly watched the development of the battle situation.

The galloping white wave cavalry, although they are all light horses, but they are essentially different from the ordinary horsemen in the white wave army encountered in Xiangling and Linfen, the ordinary horsemen in the white wave army only have a mount in their hands, and they are all pack horses and horses, which can barely be used as scouts and pursuing soldiers and horses.

And these cavalry led by Guo Taiqin, although there are only 1,000 light cavalry, but the mounts are all good horses from Taiyuan and Daijun, and the leather armor and ring knives used are also the equipment of the Han army.

At present, only half of the galloping horses, five hundred light cavalry, but because there is his own army behind him as a support, and he sees that the cavalry of the Xiliang Army on the opposite side is not many, and can only be used to defend the two wings of the infantry array, so the cavalry general led by him is not afraid of these Xiliang troops who are shrinking into formations, and he boldly takes the light cavalry under his command to drive back and forth in front of the Xiliang army, stirring up clouds of smoke and dust, and then showing off his might in the direction of the Xiliang army's military formation.

After the cavalry of the Baibo army galloped in front of the formation for a while, and saw that the soldiers of the Xiliang army did not move, he divided the five hundred cavalry into two groups, and outside the firing range, along the front of the army formation of the Xiliang army, arranged a cavalry goose marching formation, and then lived in it himself, and loudly insulted the Xiliang soldiers, wanting to provoke them to go out of the battle to pursue him.

It's a pity, just like the previous challenge of showing off their might in front of the battle, in the face of their loud insults, the soldiers in the Xiliang army formation were still indifferent, as if they were like a silent mountain, turning a blind eye to the reckless provocation of the Baibo cavalry.

The white wave cavalry general knew that Qu Shuai Guo Tai sent him to come to feign an attack and test the reality of the Xiliang army, but seeing that these Xiliang troops were indifferent in the face of their own provocations, they didn't even send a single arrow, if they retreated like this, the result of inaction would definitely be punished by Guo Tai.

Thinking of this, the Baibo cavalry general ordered the original cavalry to turn into a conical formation, pretending to attack the Xiliang army's military formation, and five hundred Baibo light horsemen urged their horses to gradually approach the front of the Xiliang army.

After entering eighty steps, the Baibo cavalry became cautious, so that the cavalry at the front of his command raised their leather shields one after another and slowly stepped forward, but the military formation of the Xiliang Army still did not send a single shot, allowing himself and others to approach and peep at the formation.

After sixty steps, the Baibo cavalry has already ordered the light cavalry under his command to draw bows and arrows and launch arrows into the military formation of the Xiliang army, in an attempt to disturb the military formation of the Xiliang army, but the Xiliang army takes Da Yu as the front row, and there is no shadow of the sergeant in front, only the figure of the soldiers in the back row can be seen, and in the face of the chaotic arrows of the Baibo cavalry, it is still not moving.

"What the hell!"

The Bai Bo cavalry led by him cursed, although the four corners of the Xiliang army's army were covered with antlers and wooden thorns, but that could only temporarily hinder the direct encirclement of the Bai Bo infantry army, for their nimble light cavalry, they would soon be able to find a gap, break into the formation, and completely disrupt their formation.

However, the Xiliang army on the opposite side faced the approach of their own light cavalry, and they were so fearless, and the formation did not move at all, as if they regarded their own light cavalry as if they did not exist. While feeling humiliated, the Bai Bo cavalry general was also secretly frightened, and he immediately decided, after approaching to within fifty paces, he used his horse speed to throw a rain of arrows at the back of the Xiliang army, and then retreated straight back, regardless of the reality of these shrinking Xiliang troops.

The horse's hooves continued to move, and after seeing the large open space behind the big horseman, all of which entered the range of the riding bow in his light rider's hand, the white wave rider waved his hand, and the light horse next to him also understood, bent the bow and raised the angle, ready to quickly throw arrows.

At this time, the Baibo cavalry finally saw the Xiliang Army's military formation move!

Da Yu was instantly suppressed, and countless soldiers decorated by the Han army came out from behind the shields, and they were all lined up, and the crossbow arrows on the crossbow machine were aimed at the white wave light horsemen who were also raising bows at the same time.

"Boom-"

After a violent bowstring vibration, the cavalry formation of the White Wave Cavalry, which was originally a conical formation, fell into a large block in an instant, and the light cavalry shielding the two wings was also attacked like a devastating attack.

"Damn, there's a crossbow!"

The white wave rider was lucky not to be shot by the crossbow arrow, and he immediately scolded again. The strong crossbows in the hands of the Xiliang Army are all the strong crossbows of the Han army in the Luoyang arsenal, which are full of strength, and it is a piece of cake to break armor and pierce shields at close range.

I heard that the sons and daughters of the siege troops before did not suffer from the strong crossbows of the Han army at the head of Linfen City, as long as they were shot by those strong crossbows at close range, even if they were warriors wearing heavy armor, it was difficult to stand it.

"Scatter and retreat!"

The Baibo cavalry general is also an old thief who has been in war for a long time, and he knows that although these strong crossbows of the Han army are amazingly lethal, they have an extremely slow rate of fire, and are generally used to defend the city and defend the battle, and can only play an auxiliary role when attacking and attacking.

The opposite side has been dormant for a long time, in order to increase the power of the thunder blow, all of them will be lined up and ambushed under the big sword, so that after the arrows are fired together, there is no back row of Zhang Shi to step forward and shoot, their own light cavalry is extremely fast, as long as they are scattered, before the opponent's Zhang Shi takes the arrow again, and withdraws from the close range, then the lethality of the Han army's strong crossbow in the hands of the Xiliang Army will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, although his light cavalry suffered heavy blows, they did not fall into confusion, but after hearing the order of the white wave cavalry, they scattered one after another, turned their horses and retreated.

At this time, the sound of "boom" sounded again.

The white wave cavalry general, who had just turned his horse's head, looked back and was surprised to find that a cavalry in the Xiliang army rushed out.

"It's-"

I can't help but be frightened by the white wave cavalry, as far as he saw just now, there are not many cavalry in the Xiliang army, all of which are used to screen the two wings of the large array, and there is no sign of cavalry moving to this side, why did he suddenly kill another cavalry?

It turned out that Yan Xing had already ordered that according to the "Infantry Battle Order", cavalry could not mount their horses before they were ordered to attack the enemy, and they must lead their horses on foot like foot soldiers to preserve the most abundant horsepower in wartime.

Therefore, the transfer of the Chinese army's iron cavalry just now was completely under the cover of the Xiliang Army's banner waving and shaking, and the movement of a group of foot soldiers leading the horses, naturally there was no sound and movement when the ordinary cavalry was mobilized.

Because of the killing of his own Chinese cavalry, after the front row of the Zhang Shi took the arrow, he also jumped but did not start, but because the Baibo cavalry had just separated from the cavalry formation and was turning the horse's head, it was naturally unable to confront the Xiliang cavalry head-on, and once again suffered a dark loss, and watched the Xiliang cavalry rushing with their tails approaching.

"Speed back!"

The white wave rider didn't care about the other light riders who were left behind, and after shouting a word, he whipped his mount on the hip of his horse, forcing his mount to go crazy and fly out desperately forward.

"Kill!"

Da Niu, Yang Feng and others, with the two hundred cavalry of the Chinese army, got on their horses and went out into battle, and they just happened to bump into the scattered white wave light cavalry, they roared and were unceremoniously, so they urged the horses to rush up, and gave the back of the white wave light cavalry who had no time to turn around and resist again.

A chase between the cavalry unfolded abruptly, Da Niu and Yang Feng after killing many Baibo light cavalry who fell behind, and then pursued other Baibo cavalry who fled for a while, until the retreating cavalry of the Baibo army arrived in the follow-up, and then slowly retreated, leaving only a mess of human and horse corpses.
