Zhai Fengtu is confident that his subordinates are the strongest warriors north of the river, and even after living a settled life, they still maintain a simple and fierce atmosphere, and their combat effectiveness has not diminished back then. From the elder down to the king, they all ate the meat of their livestock, wore leather clothes and fur jackets, and valued the able-bodied and despised the old and weak, while the strong ate fatty food, and the old ate leftovers.

In the past few years, the Di cavalry led by Zhai Fengdi has fought against the Di cavalry of Xianyu State many times, and they are no strangers to the confrontation between cavalry and cavalry.

But today, he found that the Zhao light horse on the opposite side was not familiar to him at all......

Zhai Fengdi originally chased after the Zhao soldiers who came to challenge for a while, until they got into the sparse woods, and in the woods, a cavalry was opened one after another, and Zhai Fengtu couldn't help but be stunned.

Although the Baidi tribe in the area of Gu and Fei was conquered by the Zhongxing clan, they were still able to make their own decisions about the affairs within the land, and they were scattered in the valleys and mountains and forests, and there was no law on weekdays, and it was difficult to restrain them. Bai Di people are used to being rude, in the past, they were often noisy in the camp of the Bank of China, and there were fights, although they were repeatedly restrained by Zhai Fengdi, who led the troops, but they were still in an irregular formation, and they heard noise from time to time.

However, the cavalry on the opposite side was solemn in military discipline, neatly formed, and heavily armed, and it seemed that they did not hear the sound of men and horses. Looking at the night, hundreds of horsemen stood in the field, no one or horse was in chaos, but the men and horses were idle in the face of a strong enemy, if there was no incident, it could be seen that it was well-trained.

The next moment, the horn sounded, and there was no greeting, hundreds of Zhao light horses were like an iron stream in the night, and like an off-string arrow galloping on the boundless field, rushing towards Di Qi, Zhai Feng Tu was caught off guard, and secretly screamed bad!

The Baidi were skilled in bows and arrows and mounted archery, and used to rely on long-range harassment to play a supporting role. Or it was used to pursue the remnants of the enemy, he originally thought that all the horseback warriors in this world were like this, but the Zhao light cavalry was an exception.

They rode the Taiyuan horses provided by Xizhao, which were no less than the Xianyu horses of the Di people, and they were temporarily fed with grain and eggs before the war. It's the time when the horsepower is strong, so it can quickly accelerate the charge.

They were well-armed, and almost all of them wore light armor and leather helmets, which were enough to fend off most of the arrows that fluttered in their wafts.

In addition, the night was dark and it was difficult to aim, so Di Qi's familiar bow and arrow cavalry could not be effective, and these gorgeously equipped Zhao Qi rushed into Di Ren's team at a very fast speed......

……

When Zhao Wuxian turned around, he happened to see this scene.

In fact, he knew it in his heart. Although the Zhao light cavalry has become a scale, in many aspects, it is still inferior to the Di people.

First, the drum and fat are the Zhongshan of later generations, the Baidi people are located in the northern country, they grew up on horseback since childhood, and when they were young, they followed their elders to hunt in the wild, hunting and fighting are the same thing to some extent. Therefore, the Di people are naturally proficient in all kinds of cavalry skills, and the Zhao cavalry, who has only practiced for three or five years, certainly cannot be compared.

Second. These half-farming and half-pastoral peoples are very hard-working, and the migratory life allows them to endure the hardships of long-distance marches, which are the skills of the Di people and even the Hu cavalry.

This is also the later Zhao Wuling King Although he carried out Hufu cavalry shooting, the cavalry of Zhao still had to recruit the cavalry of the servant tribes Lou Fu and Lin Hu to fight, even to the Han Dynasty. To a large extent, the Han army still relied on Changshui Hu cavalry.

But in this historical line, Zhao Qi has advantages that the other party can't get: advanced tactics, and sophisticated weapons!

I saw Zhao's light cavalry exhilarating and fierce, galloping to meet the enemy, running hooves and shaking the ground. The shouts of the cavalry tore through the night sky and shook people's hearts. When they came close to the enemy, the brave cavalry in the front row threw torches at the enemy horsemen, and then went around the sides, attacking with fire first, and terrifying the horses on the opposite side.

Then came a row of knights with spears, not in light armor, but in thick armor with three ties, and the horses were the best and the largest, and the important necks and chests were covered with a layer of cowhide. These real assault horses, although the Bai Di cavalry on the opposite side were already close in front of them, they did not slow down at all, and crashed straight into them. Relying on the thick and sophisticated armor, ignoring the enemy's shots, the spear was raised, and with the help of the galloping horse, the line of Di Cai's line was instantly penetrated, and blood splashed from the spear stab.

Immediately following them, the brigade of Zhao cavalry rushed into Di cavalry in an endless stream. Assault cavalry who dares to engage in close combat, or even launch a charge, this is Zhao Cai's tactical advantage!

Seeing that Zhao Qi had broken his front row so quickly, Zhai Fengdi, who led the team, immediately panicked, and had no time to reorganize the formation, so he hurriedly passed down the military order and ordered all units to attack.

The Di people were in a hurry, and at night, the front became more and more chaotic.

Compared with their chaos, although Zhao Cai only charged on horseback, the formation was not scattered at all, it was still orderly, and there were many reserves that left the battle line and were observing the timing.

Seeing that the enemy's rear row also joined the battle group, under Yu Xi's shouting, the Zhao cavalry on the periphery abandoned their spears and drew their swords, they showed their teeth made of steel, and rushed over again!

The ring head sword, after the first appearance of the Makino battle, was able to shine again in the duel between the two cavalry tonight!

Compared with slashing and slashing foot soldiers, the greater use of the ring head knife is actually used against cavalry. Bronze swords are not conducive to immediate combat, slashing, and easy to break due to their double-sided blades, which is very disadvantageous in hand-to-hand combat against cavalry. The ring-headed knife with a single-sided blade and a thick ridge was the most conducive weapon for slashing at that time.

Later, the Han army was able to confront the Xiongnu, to a large extent, relying on the ring head knife, and the Xiongnu could not stop it, not to mention the Bai Di Sanqi, who was many times weaker than the Xiongnu?

Compared with the ring-headed knives with almost the same shape and length, the messy weapons of the Di people have no advantage. Later Chen Tang said: "Fu Hu soldiers five and Han soldiers one, what is it?" The blade is blunt, and the bow and crossbow are unfavorable. "I staged it in spring and autumn in advance.

At this moment, I only heard people shouting and neighing, weapons clashing, all kinds of sounds were endless, flesh and blood were flying, and the battle was in a mess.

Although Di Cai is good at riding and archery, and he also has the courage to not be afraid of death, after all, unlike these light cavalry under Zhao Wuxian, who turned to Lu, Song, and Jin, they have been on the battlefield for a long time and have rich experience. In addition, although they have saddles, they do not have stirrups, and they are not good at close combat, so they quickly fall into disadvantage.

Yu Xi took the lead. led hundreds of knights to first break into the chaotic Di cavalry array, rushing like an electric switch, hitting hard like a meteor, advancing and retreating like the wind, turning around as expected, and hitting all of them. His cavalry also drove horses and carried swords. Shouting and fighting, the enemy cavalry has no one to stop its advance.

Looking at the overall situation, Zhao Wuxian couldn't help but praise: "If you are quiet like a virgin, if you move like a rabbit, Zhao's iron horse is also." Galloping like a wolf, fierce as a owl, Yu Xi is also! ”

……

In the fire at night, corpses were scattered all over the field, and wounded horses were neighing.

Zhai Fengdi was also stabbed on his body, and the blood did not stop. Painful to the bone marrow, he stared blankly at the scene in front of him, feeling a little incredible.

Zhao's Iron Cavalry was so powerful that he had never imagined it before.

"I can't fight anymore, we are not Zhao Qi's opponent......" Zhai Feng said in a sneer, and he could no longer muster up the courage to rush to kill him.

They have always attacked when the situation is favorable. If you are not good, you will retreat, and you will not be ashamed to run away. But now, there is no chance to escape.

After only half a moment of fighting, Di Cai's formation was torn apart by Zhao Cai, and they were divided and surrounded into several small pieces, each small block was surrounded by Zhao Cai, who had a superior number of people, and the Bai Di people, who boasted of being unparalleled in cavalry and shooting, completely fell into a situation of passive beating.

Now it is not only the Di cavalry that has suffered heavy losses. Fan's foot soldiers, after being shot by the rain of arrows for half a moment, were almost silent, and they didn't know whether Gongsun Yan was alive or dead. And the Zhao infantry and crossbowmen who had their hands free were also preparing to rush to this side.

What a! And so on. There will be a one-sided massacre of your own people!

So Zhai Fengdi first shouted peace in Di language, asking everyone to give up resistance, and then decisively threw away his weapon, raised his hands high, and shouted in the language of the Jin people: "Don't kill them all, we are willing to surrender!" We are willing to surrender! ”

……

At the same time, in the camp of the Bank of China, which was still very quiet just now, drums and horns sounded loudly, and all kinds of sounds sounded together. The fires lit up one after another, and the entire mile-long camp was lifted out of the darkness like a brilliant galaxy.

I saw the soldiers of the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan rushing out of the tent in a hurry, these soldiers were sleeping, but at this time they suddenly heard the chaos, and they were at a loss for some reason, or they thought that it was a night attack by the Zhao soldiers, or they thought that the camp was empty. So I came out in a hurry, and even ran out naked because I was too impatient.

After they came out, they were ordered to gather their own people, light more torches, and prepare to leave the camp.

"What is this for?"

"Are you going to attack the enemy camp?"

"This black light is blinding, I can't see things clearly, how can I fight?"

"The commander told us to light more torches, but if we pass like this, the enemy will be able to detect it from miles away, and we will not be able to attack at night!"

Everyone is afraid of the darkness, and they are not willing to step out of the safe camp unless they are ordered to do so.

In a short time, these soldiers, like countless streams, under the leadership of the soldiers, bypassed the overlapping tents, and hurried to the gate of this camp, and it took half an hour to finally assemble the people of the two divisions.

Everyone went out of the camp under the leadership of the two division commanders, and walked towards the west with great fanfare, and they were ordered to go to the nearly 1,000 pioneers of Gongsun Yan and Zhai Fengdi. Thinking that with a thousand people chasing a hundred, and the Di cavalry as wings, you should be able to get the full merit, the two division commanders thought so, but when they arrived at the corn field where the killing was loud before, they were stunned.

On the flat road, the front few trucks seemed to be shot into a sieve by thousands of arrows, and all the people and horses died, and the surrounding ridges and Qianmo were full of Fan soldiers who wanted to dodge the arrow attack. Each of them had a few arrow-holes like bloody holes, and the blood had flowed into the ditch, so that those who had stepped into it were frightened and inexplicable, and seeped into the corn field, and even the corn stalks were dyed with a strange red.

Hundreds of paces away by the woods, there was a different kind of tragedy: dead horses were everywhere, full of broken spears and flags trampled into the mud, and it seemed that Zhai Fengdi's Di Qi had also suffered misfortune.

They pursued the enemy, but fell into an ambush, and the whole army was annihilated! After searching around, there was no trace of the enemy for miles, and there was not even a single wounded person left on their side, and they were all killed.

"The left ear of the deceased was cut off and taken away, and the arrows were not wasted, they were all pulled out......" The two division commanders turned pale, this was a one-sided victory, and the ambushers withdrew like a leisurely stroll.

They were discussing what to do next, but a soldier pointed to the big tree in the middle of the road and said, "Two division commanders, here are words!" ”
