There were stray arrows and Donghu people who accidentally bumped into them everywhere, but the post Cheng who led the heavy cavalry paid no attention to these innocuous harassments. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Cavalry combat is unpredictable, and the commander does not have the preferential treatment of the infantry commander, they must command in the front row position, personally participate in the assault, and engage the enemy, so there are often casualties.

However, he was undaunted, believing that the heavy armor on his body was as reliable as his mount. He watched his array left and right as he urged his horse to run, the flag bearer holding the flag steadily beside him, and a thousand heavy cavalry were jogging, the results of years of hard training were reflected, and the array was not disturbed by the environment.

You Cheng is very clear about the role of heavy cavalry in the battle, comprehensive cost performance, heavy cavalry is even inferior to light cavalry, individual chases on the grassland, heavy cavalry will be left far behind by light cavalry. However, under certain circumstances, the assault ability of heavy cavalry is incomparable to that of light cavalry, especially after having stirrups and Takahashi saddles.

And tactically, the heavy cavalry is far from being as simple as rushing with your eyes closed. The Zhao army is generally like this: the light cavalry uses the formation to pull the enemy, and the heavy cavalry group hidden in the rear needs to find the weak position of the opponent, carry out a concentrated assault, and give full play to the maximum power of the cavalry impact in the narrow area surrounded by the light cavalry, and then cause the entire enemy formation to collapse!

With eyes as sharp as eagles on the prairie, he soon discovered the most chaotic location of the Donghu people.

Like flowing water, the ring-headed knife with the bite of the golden beast head was pulled out of his waist, and the sharp tip of the knife pointed obliquely to the position ahead.

"Charge!"

"Charge!"

The standard-bearer on his side also pointed the flag at the target, and a thousand heavy cavalry began to slowly turn and charge towards the enemy.

The speed of the heavy cavalry was not particularly fast, but the momentum was getting stronger and stronger, and everyone entered a state of imminent battle, wearing heavy armor, holding spears, stepping on stirrups, wide-eyed, and full of fighting spirit. With the protection of the saddle and the support of the stirrups, they could loosen the reins, the spear clamped in the armpits, the body slightly prostrate, ready for a surprise.

They followed closely like this, like a sharp spear, stabbing at the soft back of the Donghu cavalry formation!

……

Under the encirclement and harassment of the light cavalry of the Zhao State, the Donghu people have begun to show panic, and the most chaotic place is now under the pressure of the roar of the heavy cavalry!

Although the speed of the heavy cavalry is not as good as that of the light cavalry, it has a kind of momentum that should not be underestimated. As the horses began to move, the entire northern side of the battlefield resounded with the sound of clattering armor, and the ground began to tremble slightly......

Faced with the ironclad mountains that were attacking at a medium speed, staring at the dense spears, Hugh said that the Donghu herdsmen were so shocked that even their mounts began to run around regardless of the rider's control, trying to avoid danger, and the scene became even more chaotic. The worse news is that the Donghu people have not even organized a decent hedge counterattack, and at this moment, in the face of the roaring heavy armored monsters, they have lost the courage of the grassland boys, and can only shoot with their bows in despair.

The light cavalry avoided to both sides, the speed of the heavy cavalry was faster, they had formed a formation of impact, some of the light arrows of the Donghu people whizzed in, and dozens of people in the front row were hit, including postal services, but the bone cluster only left a jingle on his screen, and a small groove, among the more than two hundred heavy cavalry in the same row, only a few of them were unlucky and fell due to injuries to their horses.

At this time, even if ten thousand arrows are fired in unison, they will not be able to stop the heavy cavalry that is attacking at full speed!

"Kill!!" Ten paces away, the heavy cavalry of the Zhao army erupted in a roar of exhaustion at the same time.

"Boom!" In the next moment, the heavy torrent of steel slammed into the chaotic Donghu cavalry, and for a while, people turned on their backs, and the sound of spears and halberds and the collision of huge objects was endless.

There was also a huge impact on Youcheng's hand, and his mouth was numb, the tip of the spear snapped in response, and the body of the spear flew off from under the armpit. The Donghu leader who was stabbed by him only had time to let out a miserable scream, and his figure turned backwards with his head to the sky, fell under the horse, and was trampled into pieces of meat by the iron hooves of countless Zhao horses.

He hurriedly rode his horse out of the front line, and when he looked around, he saw that many Donghu horses that could not avoid it were broken to the bone by the armor-clad kind, and even knocked into the air by the huge acceleration, and some of them fell to the ground with their riders and rolled desperately on the ground.

Countless blood-stained spear tips pierced through the Donghu people's bodies, and the blades of the ring-headed knives also splashed a large area of blood, and although the sound of the Donghu people's bronze narrow-edged swords rubbing against the armor of the Zhao army made the roots of the teeth sour, it was difficult to hurt the Zhao people.

The dense formation of the heavy cavalry of the Zhao army and the excellent armor weapons prevailed, and won the victory in this collision, which was the first impact of the two hundred people in the front row, and the Donghu people paid nearly a hundred casualties, while the Zhao cavalry only had more than ten wounded.

The assault was far from over, and there were four more assaults in the rear, and after the rush, they did not like to fight, but quickly withdrew under the cover of the light cavalry, adjusted the formation and rushed again......

In less than a moment, under the leadership of Youcheng, the more than 1,000 armored war horses were like a sharp scimitar, drawing an arc, tearing a bloody wound on the front of the Donghu people, leaving a bloody and wailing ......

By the time Liuhe learned the news, on the northern front, as many as 5,000 Donghu cavalry had been completely cut off into two parts, and under the encirclement and annihilation of light and heavy cavalry, they had lost the courage to fight again.

Before he could beat his chest, the Zhao army in the south also began to act......

"As long as the Donghu people can be caught, the armament and discipline of the Zhao army can defeat these loose Hulu, but Sun Wuzi once said to us that even if we have the chance to win, we must be good at using strategies and strategies in battle to reduce our own losses and increase the enemy's casualties."

Xu Qu had already seen what was happening on the northern front, and while envying the success of the post, he also admired Sun Wuzi, who had made suggestions for this expedition for most of the year.

But this is far from the end, they are not here to watch the heavy cavalry in a foreign land.

"The Wugang chariot and phalanx are anvils, the heavy cavalry is an iron hammer, and the light cavalry is the hand that presses the Donghu people to the anvil...... In this battle, chariots, foot, light horses, and heavy rides are all indispensable. ”

He threw away the drum vertebrae, drew his sword blade, and ordered the Wugang chariot formation on the southern front to speed up and complete the encirclement with the friendly forces on the northern front!

"Today, the Donghu people often say that Rao Leshui is the father who raised their tribe, and today, we will strangle his child to death with our own hands in front of this father! Revenge for General Yu! ”

……

When night fell, the battle finally came to an end, and the bright green grassland seemed to be dyed with a layer of blood-colored paint, and dead men and horses were everywhere.

The main force of the Donghu people is brave, but the tactics and equipment are an era behind the Zhao army, not to mention that the entire tribe has just been pinched together.

When both the north and south were defeated, many tribes began to scatter and flee, and Liuhe's orders were completely useless. After a big battle, more than half of Donghu's casualties were lost, and the Liuhe headquarters was almost wiped out, and he himself died in the chaos, and the head was cut off by the people who had always coveted his position as the leader, carrying braids, together with a blood-stained golden head ring, dedicated to the three commanders of the Zhao army.

Xu Qu and Youcheng looked at Liuhe bloody, their eyes were full of unwilling heads, they were very happy, the preparation of more than half a year, and more than a month of going deep into the grassland was finally not in vain, this cunning jackal was finally surrounded and killed by the hunters of Zhao State.

Unexpectedly, before they could be happy, the new puppy came to inform them of a piece of news.

"Second son, although Liuhe died, but his eldest son and hundreds of people, took advantage of the night to force the Rao Le Shui to cross the river, crossed the river, although I sent people to chase, but the other generation is cunning, after a circle, fled to the east."

After hearing the report of the sentry horseman, the new young dog informed Xu Qu and Youcheng of the matter, and consulted them on whether they should continue the pursuit.

"Hundreds? Where will they probably flee to? ”

"It must be Red Mountain!" The new child dog insisted that this is the holy mountain that the Donghu people have worshiped for generations, and they often compare Rao Leshui to the father god, and the red mountain to the mother god.

"Red Mountain, two hundred miles east of this place, the mountains are isolated, and the grasslands are vast......"

Xu Qu looked at Liu He's head, and his heart was open. Now that the main force of Donghu has been annihilated, even the Dalenor, which is stationed in the pasture, has also fallen into the hands of the Zhao army, and the captured more than 100,000 cattle and sheep and 20,000 Donghu prisoners have been escorted back, and this expedition can be a complete success. With this merit, it is enough for his military lord to go all the way from the official doctor to the deacon.

If you continue to chase deep at this time and repeat the mistakes of Yu Xi, is it a bit worth the loss?

For the sake of prudence, Xu Qu retreated, and after pondering for a long time, he said: "Sun Wuzi once said in the art of war, don't force the poor, and this method of using soldiers is also ......."

"The art of war is dead, people are alive, and the prince also said that it is advisable to chase the poor with the remaining bravery! Don't let the name be sold to learn Song Xiang! ”

A sunny voice came from outside, but it was a female general in a white robe, it was Zhao Jia.

Zhao Jia was in charge of guarding the prisoners and the baggage rear team of the Post Cheng Army, and only arrived at this time, so he missed this tragic battle.

But she didn't want to miss the opportunity to fulfill her brother's long-cherished wish.

Zhao Jia saluted the three commanders and said, "Jia listened to his threats when he tortured the Donghu captives, as long as the Red Mountain did not fall for a day, the Donghu people would regather at the foot of the mountain. At this time, if you don't chase endlessly, ten or twenty years later, maybe near Chishan, there will be another Donghu leader with the widow of Hu Lu, trace the last wish of Liuhe, unify all the tribes, and go west to endanger the territory of Zhao. Jia dare to ask the three Yuan Rong to give me 3,000 light horses, chase and kill the remnants of the enemy to the east, until the Red Mountain, pull out its yellow banner, destroy its goddess altar, plough the court and sweep the holes, leaving no seeds, this party is to destroy Donghu, and get the whole merit! ”
