Li Yanzhao carried him and Zhang Xing on his horse, rushed out of the mountain forest, and moved closer to his team. By the moonlight, Li Yanzhao also saw Zhang Xing's shoulder sockets, arms and other places that were not covered by iron armor, with a few feather arrows inserted. The feathers of the arrow's tail glowed white in the moonlight.

Now in this situation, Li Yanzhao did not dare to rashly help Zhang Xing pull out the arrow. He was afraid that if these arrows were barbed arrows or wolf's tooth arrows, if they were forcibly pulled out, they would be bloodied with barbed arrows. The person who is hit by the arrow will not only bleed profusely, but will also suffer excruciatingly.

On the way to gallop, Li Yanzhao also heard the faint sound of horses' hooves in the mountains and forests behind him. He couldn't help but smell a little different. Presumably, the wave of enemy horsemen lurking in the mountains and forests, seeing that they left safely, were unwilling, and saw that there were few people on their side, so they did not stop doing two things, and took advantage of the situation to kill!

Just hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Li Yanzhao estimated that this wave of enemy horsemen was about twenty or thirty people. The wave of enemy horsemen who ambushed them was roughly equal in number to the description described by the own cavalry who had escaped back to report the situation!

According to the situation shown now, Li Yanzhao was convinced that the intention of this enemy cavalry was to wait here and ambush his own reconnaissance cavalry crossing the river. However, how did the enemy cavalry identify their own movements, set up an ambush here, and repeatedly inflicted heavy damage on their own sentinels. But he couldn't figure it out even if he wanted to break his head.

However, at the moment, he also had no time to think about the rest of the matter, and the enemy pursuers behind him were the troubles they urgently needed to solve.

"Turn the horse's head!" As Li Yanzhao galloped into the queue to join the rest of the people, his command also sounded at the right time.

Hearing Li Yanzhao's command, a group of seven horsemen stood up, neatly turned the horse's head, and then accelerated the horse, galloping back to the road where he came.

The long-term training has made these cavalrymen recognize and follow Li Yanzhao's tactical ideas to carry out training, drills, and even battles.

Li Yanzhao's use of cavalry tactics was inspired by the Mongols 900 years later: after encountering the enemy, he first used light cavalry that was good at riding and shooting, and retreated step by step, raining endless arrows to lure the enemy forward. Then charge the battle with elite warriors and charge the enemy from the flank and rear.

As a result, the enemy suffered multiple blows from many sides. If the troops are not scattered, it is easy to suffer heavy casualties or even collapse under such a dense attack.

The Mongols rampaged across the Eurasian continent and made a series of expeditions to the west, relying on such tactics and skilled archers and horses, to repeatedly defeat the elite legions of the Eastern and Western countries, and then established a great empire of land power across the Eurasian continent, almost unprecedented.

Even the elite of Hungary, Germania, and Austria in the west, composed of more than 100,000 heavily armored knights, suffered defeat at the hands of the Mongol army, which was less than the other side, and was defeated for thousands of miles.

In Li Yanzhao's memory, there is such a successful precedent, which is naturally used by him as a model. Since the stirrups were equipped, the cavalry in the battalion have all practiced their riding and archery skills. After months of training, his horsemen were already able to sit on horseback and be proficient with bows and arrows, although they were still not as good as they could be. Compared with the beginning of the riding and archery training, it is already much stronger.

Li Yanzhao is also satisfied with this result. After all, the drill of a cavalry soldier is much more difficult than that of a foot soldier. It is really rare for his subordinates to grow now.

The tactical literacy cultivated through months of hard training played a key role in this moment. In the face of the enemy's superior cavalry that was pursuing, Cao Jian's cavalry did not panic. Instead, he reasonably controlled the horse's speed and kept a distance of more than thirty paces from the enemy's cavalry.

Following Li Yanzhao's command, the cavalry opened their bows again and again and turned around to release arrows. At this time, although they could not see anything at night, the other party rode their horses after them, and the rumble of the horses' hooves revealed their position. As Li Yanzhao's subordinates frequently turned around and fired arrows, in the night behind them, there were from time to time the sound of enemy horses falling from their horses, desperate screams, and the tooth-aching sound of bones breaking when the horse's hooves stepped on the fallen soldiers.

The pursuing enemy cavalry saw that their companions had fallen off their horses one after another, and they were unwilling to fire arrows at Li Yanzhao and them in front of them. However, because the Guangwu cavalry discharged a loose formation, and the enemy army was not equipped with stirrups, the immediate use of bows and arrows could not be as good as the arm command, and the rain of arrows, which was much denser than Li Yanzhao's troops, could not bring effective damage to the cavalry of Li Yanzhao's troops who were retreating.

Occasionally, a few arrows were lucky enough to hit the people on horseback, but most of them could not penetrate the iron armor they were wearing. However, Li Yanzhao's subordinates turned back and counterattacked, but they were able to repeatedly take away the lives of the pursuing enemy cavalry.

In this way, one side fled, the other side chased, galloping for nearly ten miles, Li Yanzhao's own horse was already exhausted, and gradually began to lag behind the rest.

Li Yanzhao also knew that he was carrying two people on his horse, and the weight was the most than the rest. In the past, desperately clamping the horse's belly or using the horse to whip the horse, the potential of the crotch mount has been squeezed clean, and it is quite unsustainable at this time. If you go so fast for a quarter of an hour, I am afraid that the horses will fall to the ground with exhaustion under their crotches!

At this time, he could only hope that on the left and right, most of the cavalry led by Liu Jiwu and Shao Lei would be able to arrive quickly and work with him to exterminate this entangled enemy sentry cavalry!

However, the subordinates led by the two team leaders still did not know where, and they gathered together to annihilate the enemy, which was even more distant. The horsepower of the war horse under his crotch is getting worse and worse. If this development continues, if you can't wait for Liu and Shao to lead their troops to come, you will have to be chopped into meat puree first.

Cao Jian also discovered the fact that Li Yanzhao's horsepower was not good, slowed down his horse slightly, walked side by side with Li Yanzhao, and anxiously called Li Yanzhao to take Zhang Xing, who was carrying him on horseback.

Li Yanzhao drove the horse close to Cao Jian, and then Cao Jian adjusted the speed of the horse and galloped in the same direction and speed with Li Yanzhao. Seeing this, Li Yanzhao's heart was a little relieved, it seems that the past few months of training have changed and improved these horsemen. In the past, Cao Jian controlled the speed of the horse so freely, and could maintain the same complete consistency with the rest of the people on the move, it was almost unimaginable.

Seeing that the two horses were close to each other and moving at the same speed, Cao Jian also took the horse rope on his shoulder, pulled the rope into a rope sleeve, and then threw it to Li Yanzhao. Li Yanzhao took the rope sleeve, untied the slipknot that Cao Jian had pulled, and then tied it to Zhang Xing, and then tied a knot, tied it tightly, and shouted to Cao Jian: "Pull!" ”

Originally, transferring people to another horse on horseback was an extremely dangerous job, but at this time, Li Yanzhao couldn't care about these at all. He only knew that if Zhang Xing was not transferred to someone else's horse, he and Zhang Xing would both die today.

Li Yanzhao held the belt of Zhang Xing's armor in his left hand, and carefully sent Zhang Xing to Cao Jian's side. Cao Jian had already let go of the reins of the horse at this time, grabbed the lasso with his left hand, reached out with his right hand and grabbed Zhang Xing's, and pulled it to his side with all his might. The horses of him and Li Yanzhao are almost all galloping together. It took a lot of effort to finally slip Zhang Xingti onto his horse. Fang Cai breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Yanzhao thought of the lasso that Cao Jianfang had just tied Zhang Xing at this time, and his eyes couldn't help but light up. hurriedly commanded: "Cao Jian! Throw the lasso at me, I'll be of my own use. ”

Cao Jian took Zhang Xing and placed him in front of the horse, during which Zhang Xing was injured by an arrow, Zhang Xing couldn't help but exhale a few pains, but it was not a big deal. Cao Jiangang breathed a sigh of relief, and when he heard Li Yanzhao ask for a lasso, he didn't think about it, so he handed it to Li Yanzhao at a distance where the two of them were almost close to the horse.

Li Yanzhao got the lasso, smiled, and said to Cao Jianyan: "Look at me playing with the erector behind me!" After that, he took out the ring knife around his waist, threaded the lasso through the ring head, tied it tightly, and tied a few dead knots repeatedly with anxiety. Fang Cai said to Cao Jian: "I'm going, you wait to move on, don't take care of me." Without waiting for Cao Jian to ask questions, he turned his horse's head and walked away to the chasing soldiers who were chasing behind.

Seeing this, Cao Jian was shocked and surprised. hurriedly shouted to stop the people who were still galloping on their horses, and said that Li Yanzhao had turned back to the enemy. When everyone heard this, they all reined in and were shocked.

However, at this time, in the mind of Li Yanzhao, who was rushing towards the pursuers, he was calm. Even calm to the point of complacency.

Li Yanzhao shook the lasso in his hand, and the front end of the maso was firmly tied to a ring-headed knife. As if to prevent the knife from accidentally falling off, Li Yanzhao stacked knots one knot after another, and he didn't know how many knots he had tied.

Soon, he was going to use this new weapon, which he had invented temporarily, to beat and play the group of pursuers who did not know whether to live or die behind them.

Maybe this weapon wouldn't have the effect he had envisioned, but if he didn't turn his back on it, he knew that his own horsepower wouldn't last long. You might as well fight with your back to the enemy, and you can still take it by surprise and strike at the enemy.
