According to the news sent back by Zhang Liao, after Han Sui's army evacuated Chang'an City, he was preparing to withdraw to Liangzhou in the direction of Yunyang County and Qi County.

After being glued by Zhang Liao, although Han Sui's army was a cavalry unit, it was impossible to advance at full speed, so now Chang'an would still be able to stop Han Sui's army if he went directly to Yunyang County.

Of course, the real situation on Zhang Liao's side is actually better than the news he sent back.

Although there are only more than 10,000 light cavalry on Zhang Liao's side now, these light cavalry are also equipped with basic weapons such as ring-headed knives, double-arc hand shields, bows and arrows, and they are only covered with ordinary leather armor, so the main way of fighting is to shoot on horseback, and it is difficult to carry out a forced breakthrough battle against the enemy's military formation.

However, Zhang Liao found that the cavalry and archery tactics that the light cavalry under his control had trained before were too advantageous when facing Han Sui's cavalry on the Guanzhong Plain.

When Zhang Liao took over this light cavalry, he still didn't understand the so-called kite tactics they trained (in fact, it was the Mongolian mangu tactics, just to make the cavalry more understandable, so they used the name of kite tactics), after all, this was a bit beyond Zhang Liao's old view of cavalry warfare, and at the same time, because of the terrain on the Jingzhou side, I didn't see how many light cavalry had many advantages on the battlefield.

Many times, Zhang Liao felt that the light cavalry under his command was at most just a blow to others, helping Zhang Xiu's heavy cavalry harass the enemy's military formation first.

But after arriving in Guanzhong this time, Zhang Liao became more and more aware of how advanced the cavalry and archery tactics trained by his light cavalry were.

Not to mention the battle of dealing with Cheng Lian, Ma Wan, Li Kan, and Cheng Yin before, it can be said that Zhang Liao led the light cavalry to bully them with a numerical advantage, but he had not yet used the kite tactics of the light cavalry.

But really on the Guanzhong Plain of Feng Yifu, facing Han Sui's army, which was at least half of his side, Zhang Liao realized that the kite tactics used by the light cavalry led by him were really a bit tricky.

Previously, Zhang Liao led his troops a few miles north of Chang'an City, preparing to ambush Han Sui's army that had withdrawn from Chang'an City.

It's just that it is indeed difficult to find a suitable ambush location on the plain in this pass, and he can only use surprise tactics to achieve a sneak attack on the enemy, so at first Zhang Liao just found a woodland to hide his cavalry troops.

Then a large number of scout rangers were sent to find the traces of Han Suijun, and then Han Suijun was indeed discovered by Zhang Liao's scout rangers, so Zhang Liao pounced on Han Suijun with nearly 10,000 light horses.

Of course, such a large-scale cavalry raid was actually easy to be discovered by the experienced Han Sui army, so when Zhang Liao arrived with the cavalry, Han Sui's army had already organized troops to prepare to meet it.

As a result, although the more than 10,000 light cavalry led by Zhang Liao shot some of the peripheral cavalry of Han Sui's army with feather arrows after a round of charge, they actually failed to produce much success on Han Sui's army.

On the contrary, a large number of cavalry were divided from Han Sui's army and began to counterattack the light cavalry of Zhu Weijun led by Zhang Liao, but it was the counterattack of Han Sui's cavalry that made Zhang Liao really discover the advantages of Zhu Weijun's light cavalry kite tactics.

In the face of the counterattack of the cavalry of the Han Sui army, the light cavalry of the Zhu Wei army led by Zhang Liao immediately began to turn around and flee according to tactical training, of course, this so-called escape is actually to distance itself from the cavalry of the Han Sui army, and then shoot the chasing Han Sui cavalry with bows and arrows.

The so-called kite tactics were originally like flying a kite, hanging and chasing the enemy to fight.

Zhang Liao brought light cavalry, and the cavalry riding horses did not consume much physical strength on the war horses, so they could let the war horses run for a long time, and naturally they could hang the chasing Han Sui army cavalry to wander in the Guanzhong Plain.

At the same time, the light cavalry of Zhu Weijun are equipped with high saddles and double horse pedals on horseback, so that the light cavalry can do various actions on horseback more steadily, even in the fast running of war horses, Zhu Weijun's light cavalry can also let go of the reins, with the help of a high saddle to stabilize the body, and then turn around and shoot arrows, will not fall off the horse.

It can be said that the nearly 10,000 light cavalry of Zhu Weijun have been able to carry out mobile cavalry shooting on the back of a rushing horse under training, and the accuracy of mounted archery can also reach the standard of ten arrows.

Although most of the cavalry on Han Suijun's side were Qiang people and horse thieves, and their riding skills were not bad, their war horses only had ordinary saddles, and they could not rely on their legs to clamp the horse's back and stabilize their body in the rapid galloping of the war horse.

They could either stop their horses and shoot arrows, or they could only find a way to catch up with them on horseback and attack the enemy with weapons such as spears, knives, and axes.

But if they can't catch up with Zhu Weijun's light cavalry, then there is no way to attack Zhu Weijun's light cavalry, and even if they have the ability, it will be useless.

Then the war horses on Han Suijun's side are not nailed with horseshoes, even if they don't have any heavy equipment, the weight of the war horses is not very large, but they still can't let the war horses continue to run for a long time, which is equivalent to letting you chase the opponent wearing shoes barefoot.

Therefore, when the war horses of the Han Sui army cavalry are running, they will instinctively slow down to protect their horses' hooves, even if it is the Han Sui army cavalry, they will protect their war horses, and they will not desperately urge the war horses to run regardless of the pain in their feet.

In this way, it will naturally be more difficult for the cavalry of Han Sui's army to catch up with the light cavalry of Zhu Weijun.

It can be said that the cavalry of Han Sui's army chased after the light cavalry of Zhu Weijun, and they could not catch up with Zhu Weijun's light cavalry at all, not to mention, they could only be killed by Zhu Weijun's light cavalry waiting for the opportunity to use bows and arrows to counterkill, which looked a little like they took the initiative to catch up and send them to death.

But once they stopped the pursuit and wanted to give up the pursuit of Zhu Weijun, the light cavalry of Zhu Weijun would turn around and chase them in turn, of course, Zhu Weijun's light cavalry would not approach them, and still kept a distance from them and shot them with bows and arrows.

This really made Han Suijun's cavalry have a feeling that they couldn't chase and didn't chase.

Zhang Liao discovered this trick in the pursuit of Han Sui's cavalry, so he realized that the light cavalry under his command originally fought like this, so as a cavalry general with a good background, he would naturally be able to better play the advantages of this tactic.

Of course, if the cavalry of Han Sui's army were all gathered together, then they could also use bows and arrows to counterattack the incoming light cavalry of the Zhu Wei army, but even so, they still stood in one place to shoot arrows, but the light cavalry of the Zhu Wei army was moving on horses and shooting.

Therefore, the cavalry of Han Sui's army is a fixed target, and the light cavalry of Zhu Weijun is a mobile target...... For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
