When Yu Xin pulled out the cavalry sword, the first team of three-walled cavalry was basically wiped out except for the first few that bypassed.

When the three walls of the Shun army are charged, the distance between the first team and the second team is relatively large, this is because the first team of the three walls does not really rush forward many times, and if the enemy's formation is quite solid, they will turn to the enemy's flank. And if the second team gets too close, they will run headlong into them as they turn, causing confusion in their own team.

However, this distance now gave the heavy cavalry of the Model Army time to adjust their formation. Although the three-walled cavalry that met them with their first blow was already out of shape when they engaged them, so defeating them did not cause many casualties to the heavy cavalry of the Model Army, but the collision with the opponent's war horses or something still caused several cavalry to fall off their horses, and also made his cavalry formation not as strict as just now. However, Yu Xin looked at the distance between him and the enemy's second platoon of cavalry, and felt that he still had time to regroup.

In fact, it is not necessary to do anything to reorganize the queue, this is an important subject in the training of heavy cavalry, and there is almost no need for command, everyone knows what to do. The cavalry slowed down a little to allow the cavalry to catch up a little further back, and in the battle just now, not every heavy cavalry had enemy troops in front of them, so about half of the heavy cavalry still had spears in their hands.

At this time, Yu Xin no longer had a spear, but he still had a whistle, and he could also use the whistle to control the riding formation. Soon the cavalry formation became strict again.

The second pair of three walls farther away witnessed the situation of those heavy cavalry crushing their comrades just now, they saw with their own eyes that these iron men and iron horses were like hammers smashing eggs, and they broke down the first team of three walls as easily as a hammer, and now they saw that they put on such an unreasonable formation again, and they hit them straight and straight, and they were immediately chaotic. Before they could even hit the wall, they spun their horses around and fled in other directions, trying to dodge the wall of steel that had crashed straight into them.

Yu Xin didn't give the order to speed up, and even asked the team to reduce the speed a little. Because he saw that behind the second group of cavalry, there was also a third group of cavalry of the Shun army. Since the enemy himself is already in chaos and is already fleeing, why not spare some strength to deal with the enemy behind?

……

Li Zicheng climbed a gable in a deserted village and looked out at the battlefield. The village was long gone, the houses had no roofs, and there were signs of fire. Li Zicheng estimated that most of the village was burned down during the last time Jianyan entered the Koukou. Fortunately, although the house burned down, there were still many walls that had not fallen, which could provide him with a good vantage point overlooking the battlefield.

When Li Zicheng saw that the opponent's cavalry easily defeated the first team of three-walled cavalry, he knew that the situation was very bad, and when he saw that the second team of three-walled cavalry was even messed up himself, he suddenly found that his army was now facing a great danger: because the third team of three-walled cavalry blocked the view of the infantry, his infantry probably had not found such a group of cavalry in front of him.

Li Zicheng knew that if the infantry were prepared and firm enough, it would be difficult for the cavalry to directly break the infantry's defenses. But that was on the premise that the infantry was ready, and now his infantry was moving forward, and if they were directly attacked by those heavy cavalry in such a state, they would probably be directly routed because they did not have time to turn into a defensive formation and prepare for defense.

"Quick, give General Liu an order and let him go on the defensive!" Li Zicheng shouted, and he thought that it might not be too late to let the heralds rush over now, so he said a few more words to them.

One of the horsemen was ordered to give Liu Zongmin an order, while the other ran to the side, and then the gongs and drums rang out.

The sound of gongs is generally used on the battlefield to convey the order to retreat, while the sound of drums is used to convey the command to attack. It is also very strange that these two voices are sounding at the same time, because it means that two completely opposite commands are being conveyed at the same time. However, Li Zicheng knew that the experienced Liu Zongmin would definitely be able to understand what was happening in front of him from such contradictory instructions, and prepare for it.

The sound of gongs and drums reached Liu Zongmin's ears. Just as Li Zicheng estimated or expected, Liu Zongmin immediately understood that there must be something going on in front of him. Li Zicheng had people give such contradictory instructions, which must have told him that he could neither move forward nor retreat, but immediately turn to the defense on the spot.

Although he didn't understand what was going on in front of him, Liu Zongmin quickly understood Li Zicheng's intentions and gave the order to go on defense. Liu Zongmin immediately sent someone to inform Yuan Zongdi and Liu Tichun on the left and right flanks, and he asked Yuan Zongdi and Liu Tichun to each lead their own teams to form a defensive formation, and he also asked his direct troops to stop and switch to a defensive formation. In this way, the three teams can form a character array that can support each other. It's just that it will take time for the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command to immediately switch to a defensive formation.

Li Guo also noticed the sound of drums and gongs behind him, but he didn't have time to think about the meaning of this strange command at this time. Because with the second team of three-walled cavalry crushing without a fight, the enemy's heavy cavalry had already appeared in his field of vision.

From the first time he saw his opponent, Li Guo knew that his cavalry could not defeat others. Look at other people's horses, which are a lot taller than their own war horses, and then look at the shiny, airtight armor on other people's horses - Li Guo estimates that most of the swords in his hands may not be able to effectively deal with such armor.

"Damn, I knew I should have brought a hammer. According to the story, the golden man's ironclad serial horse is probably like this, right? Li Guo couldn't help but think. Obviously, to deal with such a target, the warhammer is much more effective than the saber in his hand. He looked with wide eyes again, to make sure that the cavalry on the other side were not chained to each other.

If possible, Li Guo also wanted to disband the formation immediately and let his cavalry disperse. He is also an old fighter, and he knows that the power of the guys on the other side mainly comes from their uniform impact, and if they break up their formation in order to fight the three scattered walls, then their combat power will be much smaller. And Li Guo felt that these cavalrymen were wearing such thick armor, and their speed would definitely not be too fast.

It's just that Li Guo looked back at the infantry behind him, and saw that the infantry stopped in chaos and began to turn to the defense, he knew that he couldn't spread out the formation no matter what, and he had to go up to buy time for the infantry to turn to the defense.

The cavalry of the third group of three walls actually began to panic, Li Guo shouted, loudly encouraged them, urged the war horse to rush forward first, and his righteous son Li Laiheng also shouted and brandished his weapon to follow him. Infected by them, some of the cavalry with three walls still bravely rushed towards the real iron wall in front of them. However, quite a few cavalry slowed down, gradually fell behind, and then turned in other directions. The army of this era, even the elite troops like the Three Walls, actually lack the morale to fight to the death.

Li Guo brandished his sword and rushed to the front, and Li Laiheng followed him closely. Obviously, at this time, the person who rushes to the front will be the first to be hit by the opponent, which is very dangerous, so Li Laiheng has always wanted to find a chance to surpass Li Guo. However, Li Guo's equestrian skills are very good, and the war horse under the crotch is also good (of course, this is only good in the three walls, and it is completely incomparable to their opponents Andalusian and Arabian horses), so it is not easy to catch up. Even because he was in a hurry, just when he was about to collide with the Ming cavalry on the opposite side, the war horse under his crotch suddenly weakened his legs and fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Li Guo saw this scene, but now he can't care about Li Laiheng. On the battlefield, people will die at any time, and anyone can die. Moreover, the enemy forces are already close at hand.

Li Guo rode straight over, and in front of him, a cavalryman with a cavalryman wrapped in silver glittering armor stabbed at him. Li Guo turned to one side, and at the same time with the saber in his hand, he pushed the cavalry gun to the side, if it was a one-on-one battle, after dodging this blow, Li Guo might have the opportunity to use the knife in his hand to fight back, although most of the knives in his hands could not break the armor, but with the speed of hedging, it was estimated that it was enough for the opponent to hurt if he really cut a knife. Of course, Li Guo didn't know that the armor on his opponent's body was different from any armor he was familiar with, those armor that Li Guo was familiar with were all close to his body, and after the saber slashed them, even if he couldn't penetrate them, he could transmit the force to the corresponding body position and cause a certain amount of damage. However, the armor of the heavy cavalry of the model army is stamped out as a whole, and they are not in direct contact with the body of the cavalry, but are fixed to the knights through hanging structures such as liners and belts, so even if they are hit, the force of the impact cannot be directly transmitted to the body of the cavalry, but through this series of suspensions, and finally borne by the whole body. Therefore, in fact, even if Li Guo is not holding a saber, but a war hammer, it may not be able to inflict fatal damage on these opponents.

However, Li Guo was not able to cut this knife, because he had to face more than just a riding spear. In addition to looking scary, the wall-mounted attack is even more terrifying in that it allows the opponent to face more weapons in the same space through dense formations. Just as Li Guo pulled away the riding spear, a sword stabbed straight at him. Li Guo hurriedly raised the small shield in his left hand to resist, however, this sword was exceptionally sharp, with the help of the power of the war horse, this slender and long cavalry sword actually directly pierced the small shield in Li Guo's hand, and then pierced the gauntlet on his left arm, and pierced his upper arm at once. Then it snapped and broke.

Li Guo's horse rushed through the gap in the opponent's war horse, although he was beaten, although he was injured, although he was a little shaky, but at least Li Guo was still on the horse. But then, he saw another group of cavalry lined up in a neat column, with their sabers raised, and lunged at him.
