The Khitan army turned out from the foot of a low dirt mountain, and Liao Xian was walking happily forward at the front of the queue at this time, thinking about the way to play the next pasture, but he didn't expect to see a large number of Khitan soldiers pouring out as soon as he looked up!

I rub, so many people! And hundreds of heavy cavalry?

Escape!

Liao Xian didn't say a word, raised the spear in his hand, and made an order, and the thousand Zhenwu soldiers who were jogging in small steps immediately came to a 180-degree turn, the front team changed to the back team, and then they accelerated together and began to run away!

The Khitan cavalry, which was mainly composed of Rouran people, turned around and ran after discovering that the Zhenwu army in front of them saw them, and they were also in great spirits, and they shouted and slapped their horses to speed up and catch up!

That's right! This is what a Central Plains cavalry looks like when they see the Khitan cavalry, the Central Plains cavalry should have turned around and fled, it has been like this for the past thirty years! From the father's generation of this Khitan cavalry, they have long been accustomed to this situation.

As soon as the Khitan iron cavalry came out, the cavalry of the world fled one after another!

It is said that the Central Plains has risen recently? The Zhenwu army is invincible? Where there is a thing! The invincible cavalry will see the Khitan army and flee without a fight? Too young, too simple!

Pursue!

The Khitan people accelerated their pursuit, and the Zhenwu army accelerated their escape, fleeing and chasing, and after chasing for more than ten minutes, the five hundred heavy cavalry in the Khitan army couldn't stand it!

This is not the kind of mountainous land in the Central Plains where there are mountains in front of you at every turn, but a boundless prairie!

On the grassland, everyone runs so casually, you can run wherever you want, there is no boundary at all!

Heavy cavalry is a sharp sword for short-range charges! Compared with the European iron can heavy cavalry, the Khitan heavy cavalry has actually improved and reduced the burden a lot, and it is no problem to walk continuously for a long distance without unloading equipment. But compared to the light cavalry, after all, the burden is still too large, and it is impossible to hold on for more than ten minutes to pursue a light cavalry at such a high speed.

Five hundred heavy cavalry were left behind, and fifteen hundred Khitan light cavalry continued to pursue!

I can't help it, it's so tempting! It's not very far away, the other party's tail is less than five hundred meters in front of it. After all, Zhenwujun's horses are also horses, and they will be tired, so now it's up to who can hold on!

A large group of cavalry galloped across the meadow, and the grass they stepped on was muddy, turning up large patches of mud!

As he ran, the grass in front of him seemed to be getting wetter and wetter, and the horses' hooves were splashing!

Soft soil and wetlands ahead!

The cavalry of the Zhenwu Army is about to turn! They must avoid the possible soft soil wetlands ahead!

Sure enough, the front team changed to the right team, the left team changed to the front team, and the Zhenwu army suddenly turned a ninety degree turn to the left in unison!

The two cavalry that were originally chasing each other one after the other, the cavalry in front suddenly turned, and the cavalry behind maintained a forward speed, and the distance between the two sides would naturally close quickly!

Listening to a shout from afar, the cavalry of the Zhenwu Army, who had consciously lined up in a tight phalanx during the run, and the five hundred cavalry on the left side pulled up the bows and arrows in their hands together, and with a bang, five hundred feathered arrows flew out!

This is the so-called Mangu cavalry shooting tactics of the Mongolian cavalry in later generations!

The light cavalry of the Zhenwu Northern Expeditionary Army has been given the requirements of multi-mission combat before departure, so every light cavalry of the Zhenwu Army is equipped with a bow and arrow! This mangu cavalry tactic is to use the action of sharp turns, and each cavalry pulls the bow together to shoot an arrow to the left side!

There are many little white writers who wrote excitedly after Baidu came out with a mangu gangster: Ah we ran in front, the enemy behind was chasing, we turned around and shot, and shot down a large number of enemies! Then we continued to run, continued to shoot, the enemy had no way to take us, so cool, so cool

Turn around and shoot?

Have you ever tried riding on the bench and turning around and shooting? Have you ever tried riding on the back of a horse running at high speed and turned around and shot? Come on, horseback is bumpy! Even if you step on the stirrup and stand up, the war horse is strongly bumpy during the run!

At this time, your waist has to be twisted back nearly 180 degrees? Are you really not afraid of flashing your waist?

Well, your waist is good! Very torsion-resistant! But you're armed with a few thousand soldiers!

Even if you don't flash to your waist, among thousands of people, there are always people who flash to your waist, right?

Everyone turns around and shoots an arrow, and then 30% of them twist their waists! Lost its combat effectiveness!

You go and try it, it's strange if Genghis Khan doesn't cut you down when you go back!

Mounted archers shoot arrows on the run, with only a ninety degree angle of fire! And the best angle of shooting is the easiest and least injurious action without twisting your waist while maintaining a sitting position: shoot an arrow to your left!

This is what Liao Xian's light cavalry brigade is doing!

Mangugu tactics are not so easy to achieve.

First of all, the horsemanship must be exquisite, in order to ensure that the turn is completed instantly, and the opponent must be the head of the light cavalry, everyone shoots a rain of arrows together, the enemy is about two hundred meters away from the arrow, after shooting to the time the feather arrow falls, the two sides are close to one hundred and fifty meters, this rain of arrows just fell on the first batch of Khitan light cavalry!

The hussars don't have any armor on them! Five hundred feathered arrows covered the more than 100 Khitan cavalry running in front at once, and the dense rain of arrows whirled down, shooting down seventy or eighty horsemen on the spot!

In an instant, the Khitan soldiers flipped on their backs and rolled to the ground!

Then a second wave of arrows rained down, and another fifty or sixty horsemen of the Khitan army were shot down!

At this time, the shooting angle of Zhenwu Army was gone, stop shooting, and continue to accelerate and run forward in a straight line!

Now it was the turn of the chaotic Khitan army to turn, and the distance between the two sides suddenly widened again!

accidentally suffered a loss, and the Khitan cavalry was furious!

The Khitan army also has bows and arrows!

The person who ran at the front also drew his bow and arrows, and dozens of long arrows shot forward in a row!

It's a pity that now the distance between the two sides has been stretched to two hundred meters, you are chasing behind, and it is shooting arrows against the wind, where can you shoot!

So it was another dull run, and you continued to chase after me.

Just when the Khitan cavalry behind was drowsy, the Zhenwu army turned left again!

Then, without accident, two rounds of intensive arrow rain overturned nearly 200 Khitan troops. Slightly different from the previous time, there were several Khitan shooters with quick hands who fought back in time, and finally shot down two unlucky eggs of the Zhenwu Army, fell off their horses, and were trampled into meat by the Khitan cavalry behind!

The Zhenwu army continued to run forward, but the Khitan army stopped instead.

The Khitan general who led the team finally understood that the emotional family was not running away, but fighting the tactics of cavalry archers!

Inexplicably, he lost more than 300 horsemen, and the little general didn't dare to chase anymore, so he decisively shouted to stop!

After looking at the direction, he ran back with the remaining more than 1,000 people, ready to rejoin the heavy cavalry that had been left behind just now.

Sure enough, as soon as the Khitan army turned around, the Zhenwu army, which was still fleeing in front just now, also turned around and followed.

Now, it is the turn of the Khitan army to run, and the Zhenwu army is chasing behind! (To be continued.) )
