This war, from the very beginning, has been doomed, the two sides of the cavalry, one side has stirrups, the other side has no stirrups, the combat power has a huge difference.

In the rumbling, the Han army's iron cavalry swept past the rebels, and the arrows were overwhelming, endless, as if the heavenly maidens scattered flowers, so that the rebel generals could not parry at all, and the gap in range had already become their nightmare at this moment.

Unable to fight back, they could only pick up all kinds of defensive weapons in their hands to block and dodge the arrows, while cursing, wailing, and screaming in vain, but no matter how they struggled, there was only one result waiting for them, and that was death.

There are soldiers who are not afraid of death who see that there is no way out, even if they take the initiative to step forward and want to fight hand-to-hand with the Han army, so as to break the one-sided situation, but their delusions are destined to be shattered, this kind of practice, they just dislike that they die too slowly. When the Han army saw these soldiers, they would only shoot arrows at these close targets more violently, making them fall halfway, and it was impossible for the Han army, which was clear about its superiority, to give up its advantage and go to hand-to-hand combat with the rebels, and lose the soldiers, which could only be an act of brain water.

The kingdom's scalp was numb, he never thought that the Han army would have such a terrifying army, this was something he had never seen before the rebellion, if he had known that there was such a terrifying cavalry, he might not have rebelled at all.

This is not the strength of the Han army, the kingdom was born from the Liangzhou cavalry, and even there are many original Liangzhou Han cavalry under its command, so they naturally know the true strength of the cavalry in Liangzhou, which is the most elite cavalry production area of the Han Dynasty, and this Han army has obviously exceeded the real strength of the Han army. In the idea of the kingdom, even though Huang Zhong, a peerless fierce general under the command of Fu Quan, is opposite, and the soldiers and horses led by him are extraordinary, but compared with the Liangzhou cavalry, there should not be such a big gap.

For a while, the kingdom didn't know how to deal with it, seeing that his combat strength was rapidly reduced, forcing him to force him to order Yu to charge with his life.

"Woo...... Woowoo woo ......"

In order to boost morale, the kingdom of "killing ......" is currently killing with dozens of parts, and the people of Liangzhou have always been enthusiastic and affectionate, and when they saw the kingdom taking the lead, everyone saw the strength of the Han army, although they were afraid of death, but they had to follow behind. It was Song Jian, who was in the middle of the feather arrow, and when he saw this, he also stepped forward with his subordinates, for him, not only was he and the kingdom cold, but he also knew that if he was not victorious against the Han army today, he would not have much chance to be his prince of Liangzhou in the future.

The Han army didn't seem to take the other party into account at all, still shooting arrows in an orderly manner, as the rebels approached, the long dragon of the Han army suddenly broke from the middle, and the rear soldiers collected their bows and changed their knives, drew an arc, and faced the rebels head-on.

"Kill ......" Wang Guo's eyes were full of perseverance, and he secretly decided in his heart that this time he must hit the Han army hard, so that the Han army knows that they are not easy to provoke, otherwise, once they take the initiative to retreat, with the range of the Han cavalry, they can completely shoot them with kites, only let the Han army know that they are not easy to provoke, in order to have a glimmer of life, they just can't defeat the Han army, and they can leave safely.

The two iron horses, like two crazy bulls at the moment, erect horns, fiercely thinking about the opponent's impact, only when they touched, the original impact of the party knew the strength of the other side.

In the crowd, the kingdom shouted, stabbed down a Han army cavalryman, flew up and down, flipped left and back, dazzling, killed four people in a row, and could jump from Liangzhou Yi to the rebel general, he naturally had a few brushes. It's just that his face is not relaxed at all, but more and more desperate, just in the blink of an eye, only a few of the dozens of troops who rushed into the formation with him are left, and the more than 2,000 horsemen who attacked the enemy together were cut down in half.

"How can there be such cavalry in the world? The Han army is unparalleled in cavalry and shooting, and it is invincible in close combat? The kingdom was slightly distracted, and was immediately struck in the chest, he was dressed in double armor, and he was not injured, but there was a palpable pain and shock, and he raised his left arm and smashed his opponent who had galloped to the side from his horse. At this time, another knife fell on the body, and one of them pierced the shoulder, and the kingdom roared in pain, pulled out the sword, grabbed it, turned the edge, and stabbed it from his horse.

"Brother Wang, what is the moment?" Not far away, Song Jian also suffered the same treatment, but as a late recruiter, he was slightly better than the kingdom, and there were more than a dozen parts by his side. And when he saw that the kingdom was under attack, he hurriedly came to help, and the two of them were together, and they gathered dozens of scattered horsemen.

"In today's situation, retreat must die, advance is still alive, there is no other way...... Kill ......" the kingdom replied in frustration, and then attacked forward, even if there was still a Han army on the opposite side that they seemed to be unable to defeat at the moment, they had already lost more than half of it, and the kingdom did not flinch.

Seeing this, Song Jian's face struggled, and finally followed the kingdom forward, originally he wanted to retreat, but the kingdom didn't say it, with the ability of the Han cavalry, they couldn't retreat even if they wanted to, and the Han army could completely pursue them to death. Indeed, retreating, there is only a dead end, and now, there is only a desperate fight, and there will be no miracles......

The rebels in the array, seeing the commander like this, suddenly cheered up, shouted at the top of their voices, and followed them forward, hoping to directly crush the Han army. It's just that with another wave of short-handed encounters with the Han army, as time passes, and their numbers continue to decrease, these rebels feel more and more powerless, and even their attack frequency is getting lower and lower, and they can't figure out why every Han army they encounter is as powerful as those heroic warriors who are one in a hundred?

They can't beat it at all, it seems that all the heroes and warriors in the world have gathered in this Han army, their horsemanship, archery, knife chopping skills, are not ordinary Han soldiers, it is completely possible to achieve it by the experienced commander of the tun and the commander level, it is really terrifying.

The outcome of the battle was already clear, and no matter how much the rebels resisted, even though they were slightly outnumbered, the outcome would not change even if they were slightly outnumbered.

This battle, which took less than two hours, the rebels more than 6,000 horsemen, only more than 100 horsemen found out that the timing was wrong as soon as possible, fled back, and the remaining rebels were all killed under the butcher's knife of the Han army. As for the rebel thieves who are still entrenched in Caohan County, Heguan County and other places, Wang Kingdom and Song Jian, they all died under the chaotic knives of the Han army.

However, the Han army only had a record of 13 dead and 45 wounded, and even most of these dead and wounded Han troops were killed when the rebels carried out a desperate counterattack.

"Pass the order, march into Caohan and Heguan, send scouts to inform Gai Longxi, and quickly send county soldiers to support." Seeing that some of the rebels were retreating, Huang Zhong knew the importance of time, and hurriedly asked people to rule Longxi County to guard Gaixun and let him bring foot soldiers to support, after all, now most of the rebels have been cut off, and the thieves have also been killed, and the remaining siege battles naturally need the foot soldiers of Longxi County to deal with.

As early as when Fuquan recommended Fu Xie as the Taishou of Hanyang County, he even recommended another Liangzhou celebrity Gai Xun as the Taishou of Longxi County, originally, according to Fuquan's original intention, he still hoped to recommend his cronies to serve as the county guard of Liangzhou, like Fu Xie, Gai Xun and others, are not his confidants, and it will still cause dissatisfaction among those cronies who have been serving as clerks by his side. However, after thinking about it a few times, and Jia Xu pointed out, Fu Quan finally appointed the two, and even recommended several Liangzhou celebrities whose names he had only heard and had not seen as officials.

As for why this is so, it is naturally because he wants to quickly obtain the support of Liangzhou's neutrality and support for the Han Dynasty's Haoqiang, such as Wang Guo, Song Jian, who first attached the Han to fight for thieves, and then betrayed Liangzhou Haoqiang, which to a large extent became an obstacle and hidden danger for the Han army to quell the chaos.

The reason is that these Liangzhou heroes are inextricably linked whether in the Han Dynasty or the rebels, and the land of Liangzhou has been played by the people of Liangzhou since ancient times, otherwise, the first three Han-Qiang wars, if the Qiang people can get the support of even some of the Han people, I am afraid that in the end they will not be recruited by the Han Dynasty Liangzhou Haoqiang, and the world's soldiers and horses will be mobilized to pacify.

Historically, for those Liangzhou heroes, every Liangzhou riot is an opportunity for them to make contributions, and Han Sui and Bian Zhang joined the rebel rebellion, which can make the rebels occupy Liangzhou for decades, and the imperial court cannot control it, and its momentum is much greater than the previous Qiang rebellions, the most fundamental reason is that Han Sui and other Liangzhou rebels have won the support of most Liangzhou heroes, and if there is no support from them, Han Sui will not divide Liangzhou for decades.

Now, Fuquan is to compete with Han Sui for the support of more Liangzhou snakes, and vigorously recommend and promote Liangzhou celebrities, which is his goodwill to Liangzhou Haoqiang, if he is like his predecessor Zuo Chang, corruption and bribery are not mentioned, and he always targets Liangzhou officials from Liangzhou clans like Gai Xun, I am afraid that there will only be defeat, the difference is that he defected to the rebels, and how many Liangzhou Haoqiang hooked up with the rebels.

Therefore, if he can get the support of most of the Liangzhou Haoqiang this time, for Fuquan, the result is naturally self-evident, so even if he knows that this will cause dissatisfaction among many cronies, he can't make him soar, but Fuquan still wants so much.

As for how Gai Xun and his people are, there is no need to say much, when he came to Liangzhou, he heard a lot of Gai Xun's deeds in Fuquan, and he had also seen him, knowing his ability and character, and after several considerations, he decided to recommend him as the Taishou of Longxi County, and cooperate with Huang Zhong to complete the matter of exterminating the Han thieves in Longxi County.

After Huang Zhong gave the order, he left a team of Han cavalry to take care of the dead and wounded, and at the same time clean up the battlefield, waiting for and guiding the Han army soldiers of Longxi County who followed Gai Xun. And the county seat of Didao is not far from the county seat of Caohan and other places, so it is only one day's work from Huang Zhong throwing out the scouts to De Gaixun receiving the news and quickly marching to send troops to support.

Gai Xun only brought 3,000 foot soldiers in a hurry this time, don't look at it less, but these are the elites he has trained since he took office, and in his opinion, the siege is more than enough.

Moreover, the rebels in Longxi County are now insufficient, after all, the rebels who were originally entrenched in Longxi County were only more than 10,000 people, and now Huang Zhong wiped out more than 6,000 main forces at once, not counting the small amount of rebel reinforcements that Huang Zhong encountered on the road later, and the remaining rebel soldiers were guarded in the distributed counties, and a county town could have a thousand soldiers and horses, which was considered good, so for the Han soldiers who attacked the city, its strength was really "strong".

However, to Gai Xun's surprise, he originally thought that the attack of leading troops and attacking a city would be much later than the time arranged by Fuquan to subdue the counties of Longxi, but when he arrived at the place, he was surprised to find that Caohan, Heguan and other counties were all occupied by Huang Zhong, which was really fast, which made Gai Xun feel incredible.

The reason for this is because the rebels in Longxi, in addition to the more than 6,000 cavalry that originally fought against the Han army, and the more than 1,000 cavalry that were slowly annihilated by Huang Zhong, the remaining rebels killed the kingdom, Song Jian and others in less than two hours when they knew that Huang Zhong's subordinates were not afraid?

Therefore, the remaining rebels in Longxi County knew about this, and the two leaders of Wang Guo and Song Jian were dead, and there was no one to take charge of them, so they immediately abandoned the city in fright, rushed to Jincheng County, and defected to Han Sui.

At the same time, the main force of the 30,000 Han army led by Fu Quan had just passed Pingxiang County, preparing to attack the bridgehead of Jincheng County, Warrior County, and when the great victory of Longxi County came, Fu Quan looked at Huang Zhong and Gai Xun's report and was also overjoyed, in this way, Han Sui's arm was broken, but he didn't know how to deal with it next?

Of course, not only Fuquan, but also those who have been kept in his bones, such as Li Ru and others, when they heard the battle report, they all said something similar to "General Huang returned to Longxi in one day, such a record, a famous general in ancient times!" Words to come.

Then, they remembered Fu Quan, who supported Huang Zhong, and kept complimenting him, but they all laughed at Fu Quan, they didn't know why Huang Zhong was so powerful, but could he not know?

Isn't it just stirrups and horseshoes, of course, the most important thing is stirrups. Later generations said that the invention of the stirrup was an epoch-making event in military history, because he marked the final rise of cavalry in cold weapon warfare.

For example, before the invention of the stirrup, in order to keep the horse from falling off the horse that was violently limped by running, the cavalry relied on their own to leave, using their dangling legs to clamp the horse tightly, and at the same time both hands had to hold the horse's mane tightly, so as to control the horse.

A stirrup is a pair of pedals suspended on both sides of the saddle for the rider to place his feet on, and can also assist the rider in getting on and off the harness. With stirrups, the rider's feet have a strong point of support, it is easier for the rider to keep his center of gravity flat in the saddle, it is easier to steer the horse, so that the person and the horse are connected, and the rider is free of hands,
