Strictly speaking, the first to come into contact was a vanguard of 5,000 cavalry in the 20,000 Xiazhou cavalry, and the 5,000 cavalry Zhenwu army cavalry led by Zhao Ping himself.

The terrain in this area of Yinzhou is not completely flat grassland. The soil here is mainly sandy, but there are several large rivers in the vicinity, forming a vast desert grassland with large grasslands and wetlands extending to both sides of the river.

These grasslands are also constantly undulating with the terrain, forming small hills and small valleys with a height of more than ten or twenty meters.

The five thousand Xiazhou cavalry ran up to the top of a small hill, and saw a large number of Zhenwu cavalry on the top of another small hill two miles away.

The black-pressed cavalry of the Zhenwu Army began to move, as if a large piece of black ink began to flow down the slow downhill, overflowing the valley floor, and rolling towards the Xiazhou cavalry of the Dingyan Army.

Since the Zhenwu Army launched a charge without saying a word, and the size of everyone's army is about the same, then these elite cavalry of the Dingyan Army from Xiazhou have nothing to say, so let's go to war!

The Xiazhou cavalry also began to gather and charge towards the Zhenwu Army!

In the gentle valley, although it is not closed, tens of thousands of cavalry on both sides are hedged against each other, and the roaring hooves of horses still make the whole valley noisy, echoing with a deafening noise.

Every Xiazhou cavalryman widened his eyes, bloodshot burst out of his eyes, raised the long saber in his hand, let the war horse under his crotch gradually speed up, and rushed towards the cavalry that has recently become famous on the opposite side, and it is said to be a hundred victories!

You're about to collide head-on with the enemy! Life and death were decided in that instant!

What's going on? Why did no one pretend to be forced to fight?

That can't be helped, this 5,000-strong Xiazhou cavalry is just a vanguard, the general who leads the army is called Ye Litao, who is a general of the Dingyan Army, and the Zhenwu Army on the opposite side is the main force led by Zhao Ping, the envoy of the Zhenwu Army.

Everyone's identities are not equal, if Zhao Ping comes out and pretends to be a force, is it considered to be bullying the small? That's too low, too.

So, let's just stop getting to know each other and just start fighting.

Zhao Ping thought, anyway, if I cripple you, you will know who I am

Ye Litao thought, this is a great opportunity for meritorious service! The other party is basically all the strength of the Zhenwu Army, my side is just a vanguard, if I can crush them at one time, even if one for one, consume the five thousand Zhenwu Army cavalry, this war will be over!

What kind of experience is the battle of 5,000 cavalry against 5,000 cavalry?

This is a medium-sized cavalry battle that can be divided into various tactical maneuvers or flanked by maneuvers. In short, a cavalry battle of this scale has enough numbers and strength to impact any formation, and it is not as cumbersome as a large army of tens of thousands of people, the chain of command is very clear, and it is easy to get a quick response when mobilizing troops and horses.

If the forces on both sides are basically equal, both sides actually have many tactical options.

Of course, the stupidest and most direct is that the two sides get together and collide face to face! If they collided face-to-face without any tricks, the 1,000 cavalry in each of the front rows on both sides would be consumed in ten seconds, and then there would be a big scuffle between the cavalry behind. Even if you destroy all the other party, the self-damage will never be less than two thousand!

Now this is the stupidest and most tragic situation that is about to happen!

Why? Didn't you say it, the Xiazhou Army originally wanted to rely on the large number of people, and it would be best to solve the Zhenwu Army at one time, and was originally afraid that the Zhenwu Army would divide its troops to do tactics, but it was the other party who first took the initiative to choose this direct killing method, so it was just a matter of asking for it!

Therefore, this Lang General Ye Litao, who led the army of Xiazhou, is still too young, too simple Tucson is broken!

Since it was the enemy who took the initiative to choose the most unfavorable tactics for the enemy, do you believe it? Before two people fight, one person says forget it, I can't beat you, I'd better stab myself to death first, and then the other will believe it?

The two sides ran closer and closer, and the hundreds of heavy cavalry of the Xiazhou army rushing to the front were already determined to die, their eyes were red, and everyone gathered tightly together, forming a huge and strong charging arrow, shouting with all the strength of this life, and rushing towards the oncoming Zhenwu army!

"Rush! Kill! ”

"Kill all the Tang dogs!"

The ferocity of the party cavalry really frightened the Zhenwu army on the opposite side!

When the two armies were still about two hundred meters apart, the cavalry of the Zhenwu Army seemed to pull a zipper, split into two from it, and divided into two teams vertically, avoiding the most ferocious Xiazhou Army forward.

Five thousand people gathered to rush into battle, what is the width of the front?

The one running in the front is about fifty meters, which is formed by thirty heavy cavalry squeezed together, and the width of the back is getting wider and wider, looking like a big square of the contract type, the contract shape phalanx of this Xiazhou cavalry of five thousand people, the width of the last row is about two hundred meters.

The formation of the cavalry of the Zhenwu Army, after the two sides were separated, left a width of about 100 meters in the middle.

If you understand it with the concept of yin and yang array, it is a big yang array of 5,000 people in the Xiazhou army, which is inserted into the **** formation of 2,500 people on both sides of the Zhenwu army!

Chisel through! The heavy cavalry of Xiazhou, who were running at the front, suddenly relieved their hearts!

It's alive!

The psychology of people is like this, they already have the will to die, they feel that this life is over, and they are ready to leave this world in a few seconds with their eyes closed, and by the way, they will also take the life of the other horseman who does not know the name.

Suddenly the other party got out of the way, and life returned to themselves, and everyone couldn't help but think of their elderly parents, their wife who was waiting for him to come home at home, and their son who had just learned to walk!

So relieved, no one wants to die anymore!

Okay, then let's keep running, anyway, I'm here to eat food, and I've been rushing forward according to your commander's orders, since the other party took the initiative to get out of the way, then you can't blame me.

The most ferocious and elite heavy cavalry among the five thousand cavalry continued to gather together, maintaining a formation and maintaining a straight line, ignoring the Zhenwu cavalry on both sides who wanted to pass by, and ran forward bravely!

However, you heavy cavalry get out of the way, and the light cavalry behind you can't get out of the way! Moreover, they will face the Zhenwu Army's most powerful heavy cavalry, which is tightly packed, and is claimed to have a higher level of protection than the Khitan heavy cavalry!

Yes, the Zhenwu Army seems to have gathered together to form a sharp charging formation at the beginning, but in fact, it is to attract the opponent to also gather into a dense charging formation. When the two sides are about to approach, get out of the middle avenue, use the Yin array to send away, and attack the Xiazhou army passing in the middle on both sides, which is the tactical move this time!

Since it was a Yin formation, after the two sides of the Zhenwu Army got out of the way, the most powerful heavy cavalry was the two rows of heavy cavalry in the inner longitudinal direction, and they happened to cut the light cavalry scattered behind the Xia Zhou soldiers.

The light cavalry of the Xiazhou Army was originally poorly equipped, how could it confront the heavy cavalry of the Zhenwu Army, which was armed to the teeth and had been trained for a long time!

The iconic unified sword-wielding action of the Zhenwu Heavy Cavalry has reappeared!

The row of knives rolled up and down in a strange line, as if shaving, scraping the light cavalry behind the Xiazhou Army's contract-shaped formation and rolling off their horses one after another, and the fast ones who fled had already rushed into the middle cluster by themselves, causing the horses in the middle cluster to collide with each other, and the stampede also spread rapidly.

The second half of the cavalry brigade of 5,000 people of the Xiazhou Army has begun to scream in the sky, and people are on their backs!

In addition to these heavy cavalry who worked as razors on the side, the light cavalry on the periphery of the Zhenwu Army was equipped with a bow!

The face-to-face battle was fought by the heavy cavalry on both sides of the Yin Array Passage, and the nearly 4,000 light cavalry on the periphery picked up their longbows from their horses one after another, and shot aimlessly towards the crowd in the middle of the Xia Zhou soldiers with one arrow at a time!

The time for the two sides to staggered each other was not long, but it was enough for every light cavalry of the Zhenwu Army to shoot three arrows!

After the shouts of killing and the roar of horses' hooves, the two armies finally turned away from each other and broke away again, and the ground was densely covered with fallen cavalry and wounded horses! Screaming and screaming!

A thousand Zhenwu heavy cavalry who served as razormen in the Yin Array Passage scraped off nearly a thousand Xiazhou light cavalry in total, and only more than 30 of them fell off their horses, and nearly 20 of these more than 30 Zhenwu heavy cavalry who fell off their horses had already stood up again from the ground, wielding big knives to slash and kill other Xiazhou soldiers who had fallen off their horses and not died, while beckoning each other to grab the uninjured war horses, and those who grabbed them immediately jumped on horseback and chased their own formation.

The 1,000 fallen Xiazhou light cavalry were just the result of the Zhenwu heavy cavalry, but don't forget that nearly 15,000 arrows shot into the crowd of Xiazhou soldiers just now!

The two armies were wrong in just a few minutes, and the Xiazhou army fell off the horse and killed and wounded more than 3,000 people! The Zhenwu army suffered less than twenty casualties!

The two sides turned their horses' heads again, and the cavalry of the Xiazhou army were already weak, and I don't know who shouted, and the remaining thousand people immediately turned around and ran! (To be continued.) )
