Chapter 437: Victory

When the cavalry can rush to within fifty paces in front of him, and he can also concentrate on shooting arrows with his bow, such a warrior can already be called a strong soldier.

After the horses of the tribal cavalry did not rush up, they were already completely stimulated by the cavalry's spurs, and ran wildly, within fifty paces was the time when the bow and arrow power was the greatest, not to mention, the speed of the horses was so fast that it made a bonus to the killing of the arrows.

The first hundred arrows fired, almost none of the arrows missed, either the cavalry was hit by the arrows, or the horses were hit by arrows, people turned over on their backs, and suddenly it was a mess, but this was not over, the people in the first row did not run away after shooting, but immediately squatted down, almost without pausing with the arrows in the first row, and the second round of 100 arrows shot at a rapid pace, and the horses in front were shot.

The horses that were charging were so close that they had no chance to change direction, and some of them were overturned so hard.

After the second round of arrow rain, the momentum of the charging tribal cavalry was so hard to stop, after the people in front of the tribal cavalry turned on their backs, the horses and knights behind also had the opportunity to adjust their speed, but the momentum was finally lost, and more than a dozen horses rushed to the guards, but the horses would not move forward at all when they encountered sharp slender objects, and the wooden spears with oblique spurs were enough to block.

Not to mention the free-firing third row of archers, the horse's charge was slowed down, the tribal cavalry's will to fight was not so strong, after the first wave of attacks was contained, many people already wanted to escape, but the guards who turned to the front turned their horses.

On the flank, they rushed directly, and the way for the cavalry to prevent the cavalry charge was to hedge, that is, to escape, and now the rain of arrows over there shot them dizzy, some people wanted to continue fighting, more people wanted to turn around and run away, the horses and horses were entangled, and the chaos was incomparable.

The stormtroopers of the guards slammed into the formation of these tribal cavalry without hindrance, and if anyone looked down from a high place, they would see that the formation close to the square was dented on both sides, but there was no penetration of the previous one.

But this kind of damage is greater, many tribal cavalry is directly picked up by the thick wooden spear, and then hit the people behind heavily, the horse's momentum is extremely powerful on the top of the cavalry spear, the tribal cavalry can not defend at most wearing leather armor, and even a person's chest can not completely offset such a collision, and the people behind are also penetrated,

The archers who stood there and shot arrows, after a few rounds of free shooting, saw their companions rushing over, they also dropped their bows and arrows, directly drew their swords, shouted and rushed forward, and the cavalry that could not move was the meat target of the infantry sword.

Originally, the number of tribal cavalry was three or four hundred more than that of the guards, but after the shooting of bows and arrows and the impact of horses, the morale was low and there were many casualties, and there was no advantage at all.

As soon as the battle began, the tribal cavalry who were inconvenient to turn around were all dragged off their horses or stabbed to death with wooden spears, and the charging cavalry on both sides also dropped their wooden spears, drew their swords, and slashed and killed.

The individual combat effectiveness of the guards was already very strong, and after the training of Liu Shisan and Jiang Jiajun's officers, it was even more irresistible.

The battle was not long, the tribal cavalry could no longer support it, and they didn't care about any fighting, so they desperately rushed towards the way they came, and now these people are just trying to escape, and nothing else can be noticed.

The cart pulling Liu 13 was parked on a hill near the battlefield, and he could barely overlook the battlefield, Liu 13 stood on the carriage, followed by the 400-man captain of the Jiang family's army, Liu 13 squinted his eyes, put his hand on his forehead, and said very suspiciously:

"It stands to reason that the two wings are clamped like this, it should be directly to break them up, why are these people still supporting in the middle for a while!"

The captain on the side was also very strange, and looked at it for a while, and suddenly, thoughtfully, said:

"My lord, the other party's horse seems to be much taller than ours!"

"Oh?"

Liu Shisan didn't notice this matter at all, because when fighting, he often made a judgment on the tactics and equipment of the soldiers on both sides or the will to fight, and the horses on both sides should be the same, but they missed the past, and now the battle is almost over.

"You go and put the soldiers on guard, and I'll go and see on the battlefield!"

Liu 13 arranged a few words, he took a few guards and galloped over, the battle was over, according to the pre-arrangement, the guards got on the horse and followed unhurriedly, the regular army led the regiment to clean up the battlefield here, and the tribal cavalry left the corpses of more than 400 people.

Even if they are not dead, there will be people who will come over to help with a knife, those who have died the war horses of their owners, many of them are around the side of the corpse, turning in a circle of mourning, such scenes are quite sad, many famous paintings and poems are based on this theme.

However, an old man like Liu Shisan didn't have so much mood at all, but looked at these horses, his eyes lit up, and he admired the succession:

"This is really a good horse, compared to the war horses that Lord Governor raised on Jeju Island and outside the Guan, you see, this bone frame, this leg shape, this coat color, this spirit!"

Liu Shisan's horse warriors are born in generations, and they are extremely researched on horses, and the Andalusian horses that Jiang Feng raised on Jeju Island are extremely divine horses in the eyes of people like him who understand horses, but such horses are quite precious, and they are still reproducing from generation to generation, except for heavy cavalry, even generals will not be equipped, and naturally they will not give the long-range pioneer team, which requires more endurance from horses than explosive power.

Although I was greedy for a long time, I could only watch dryly, and I never expected that I could see such a good horse here.

When Genghis Khan and his descendants crisscrossed the Eurasian continent, Mongolian horses were also spread to all directions, especially in the vast land north of the Ming Dynasty and the Great Wall, but the Lost Bil Khanate was a little different, because he was adjacent to Russia and many countries and tribes in Central Asia, so it was more high-quality, load and explosive power were far better than the Mongolian horse, and the Central Asian horse breed was gradually accepted and promoted by them.

After all, in the battle with the Cossacks, heavier armor and weapons were needed, and such weight Mongolian horses could not carry it at all, so they could only be carried out by Central Asian horses.

It was also a coincidence, and such a horse fell into the hands of Liu Shisan......

The hundreds of tribal cavalry who rushed back wildly, their hearts were extremely remorseful and anxious, their tribe was not far from the other party, even if they wanted to run, they could not be prepared in a hurry, and they didn't know if someone from the other party would chase after them.

In the past, such tribes killed each other, and often after the unexpected person took the lead, he would win without suspense, but this time he completely hit the wall.

Their own tribe was in front of them, but the scene in front of them made these cavalrymen feel like they had fallen into an ice cave, and the cries and noisy voices in the tribe continued, and a large number of soldiers with weapons surrounded their tribe, and these soldiers were all soldiers on horseback.

During the regimental training of the expeditionary pioneer team, under the order of Liu Shisan, the guards intercepted the sneak attack of the tribal cavalry, and the regimental training directly killed the opponent's tribal base camp.

The so-called coming without being rude, since the other party wants to sneak attack, Liu Shisan will definitely not be polite here, and he simply copied the other party's nest.

The tribal cavalry looked at the other party's far more numerous than their own, and knew in their hearts that rushing over would inevitably be a dead end, but their parents and relatives were in the tribe, so it was impossible to ignore it like this, and at this time, there was a sudden commotion in the tribe.

The crowd parted, many people were tied up and pushed outside, and some people shouted at this side with a voice in a Mongolian accent:

"Dismount, throw away your weapons, get on your knees, and surrender immediately, or your parents and wives will be on the ground immediately!"

Such a threat is very direct, the tribal cavalry is half a soldier and half herdsman, what is the strong will there, hearing the shouting from the other side, and the crying after the shouting, especially in the crying, clearly hearing the voice of their relatives, suddenly is confused.

At this time, there was also the sound of rumbling horses' hooves behind them, and the tribal cavalry looked back and saw a large number of guards slowly approaching.

Now even if he runs, the strength of the horse can no longer last, not to mention that the other party still has thousands of new troops in the tribe, and he can't run anyway.

The guards also shouted loudly in Mongolian:

"Get off your horse and kneel, or you will be killed!"

The words became more and more severe, and the morale and courage of the tribal cavalry were lost, and they threw down their weapons, dismounted and knelt on the ground, and handed themselves over to the expeditionary pioneer team to deal with.

The first battle of Liu Thirteen's Northern Expedition was a complete victory~!!
