The formation used by Zhang Mu and other Qin army scouts was the three-horse cone battle method created by Bai Qi, the military genius of the Qin State during the Warring States Period.

With the three cavalry cones as the smallest unit of killing, Bai Qi created a set of "three" character cavalry tactics: three three-horse cones plus a flexible strategy is ten horses, and the three cones cooperate with each other to kill, and the ten horses can become a small battlefield by themselves;

In this way, thirty hundred, three hundred and one thousand, three thousand and one thousand, and thirty thousand and one hundred thousand, the Great Qin Cavalry Corps on the vast battlefield is a strong force of iron flow with free sending and receiving, advancing and retreating smoothly, and fighting and killing together!

The three-cavalry cone method of warfare was created by Bai Qi, which reduced the "ten cavalry and one battle" used by the cavalry during the Warring States period to "three cavalry and one battle", which greatly improved the cavalry's ability to change in combat.

The basic way of cavalry charging and killing is skirmishing, no matter how large the cavalry of both sides is involved, it will eventually start to fight, and it is impossible to fight in formation like an infantry army. However, this kind of combat is not a completely isolated samurai duel combat, but a battlefield combat in which enemy cavalry surprise attacks may occur at any time between each horse.

In this case, the knights need to cooperate with each other, not only to cover their comrades from surprise attacks, but also to be able to fight freely, which has become the best way for cavalry on the battlefield. Although the ten horsemen are already very powerful, it is still difficult to achieve exquisite coordination on the battlefield where the smoke and dust are filled with the sound of killing, the arrows are flying, and the swords are intertwined.

Reducing to the coordination of three horses is to set the range of the knight's ability to gallop in time to the right extent, and the flow of combat and killing will be much smoother. The battle of Baiqi Changping used the same amount of Qin army to trap the fierce Zhao army and could not break through, and the credit of the three cavalry cones in this incredible myth cannot be ignored.

Today's three-cavalry cone combat method is already the most basic battlefield formation of the Great Qin cavalry, although Zhang Mu only has nine people, facing more than ten cavalry of the Hun cavalry, but at the moment of collision with the Hun cavalry, the battle situation has been clear.

The Qin scouts and the Hun cavalry crossed at high speed.

"Bang Bang Bang" is a series of muffled sounds of human bodies falling to the ground.

There were no imaginary swords and swords, and there were no tragic battles, but the flying heads, the spilled blood, and the lifeless corpses that rolled to the ground showed how tragic the silent battle was at the moment when dozens of horses of the two armies crossed by.

More than ten Hun knights are now only seven on the horse, and the remaining Hun knights on the horses have fallen to the ground. The three heads lying on the ground were gone, leaving only their bare necks spraying steaming blood;

The remaining four were lying on the ground, each with at least two swords, either in the neck half broken, or in the chest and abdomen were cut wide, the bright red internal organs were clearly visible, although the head was still there, but they were all dead and could not die anymore.

The Qin army of the nine horsemen who rushed out of more than 20 steps was not intact, but at least they were still on their horses, and they obviously had combat effectiveness. Each of the nine people also had one or two wounds on their bodies, and the blood was drenched in soft armor.

The three most seriously injured Qin army scouts each had a half-foot-long wound on their arm or leg that was deep and bone-seeing, and the snow-white bones were exposed and glowed with a cold glow.

After turning the horse's head, Zhang Mu glanced back at the eight horsemen behind him, and saw that everyone was on the horse, his eyes showed a touch of relief, and then looked at the Hun scout who had turned the horse's head and yelled at himself and others,

"Scatter again! Kill! ”

The other eight people all knew what Zhang Mu meant, and "scattered" was to let each team hunt separately. Immediately, the three three-cavalry squads immediately rode their horses and charged towards the remaining seven-cavalry Hun cavalry in three directions.

At this moment, the Hun scouts were already frightened, and the leader of the Hun scouts who did not die looked at the Daqin scouts who rushed over in three directions, pointed to a Hun scout next to him and shouted: "Go back quickly and report to Lord Yu!" Warriors, we are all eagles on the prairie, kill these Qin soldiers. ”

Saying that, the first horse rushed up against Zhang Mu's side, and the rest of the originally frightened Hun knights were immediately aroused to the last madness when they heard the leader's words, their eyes were suddenly blood-red, and they rushed up with a roar.

The Hun scout who was spotted by the leader of the Hun scouts roared, and then rode his horse towards the top of the hill, apparently trying to escape over the hill and back to the camp to report the news.

When Zhang Mu heard the words of the Hun scout, he saw a Hun scout who wanted to escape, and hurriedly shouted: "Xiao Wu! ”

As soon as Zhang Mu's words fell, a long arrow hit the back of the Hun leader who rushed over, and the scout leader had time to let out a miserable scream and was cut off by Zhang Mu's head with a sword that rode over.

Immediately after that, another arrow was shot at the last Hun cavalry, and the Hun cavalry fell off his horse with a scream.

"Xiao Wu, don't let that Hun scout escape!"

Zhang Mu slashed off half of the head of the Hun scout who rushed over with a sword, and shouted.

At this time, the place far away from the Xiongnu camp was already completely dark, but the white sheepskin shoulders of the Xiongnu scouts were extremely conspicuous in the dark night. Xiao Wu looked closely, and sure enough, he saw a white shadow fleeing.

Xiao Wu didn't have time to aim, so he shot the arrow, and the black shadow let out a scream, and then desperately hit the horse and fled. Seeing this, Xiao Wu hurriedly rode his horse and chased after him with a few whips.

Nine Great Qin scouts fought against four Hun scouts, although the Hun scouts fought back desperately, but in vain after all, they were all killed on the spot. Except for the Qin army scout behind Zhang Mu's substitute, which blocked an axe and cut his arm, the rest of the people were not injured again.

"Fu Chuan, Liang Sheng, Zhao Er, Wang Dong, the four of you cleaned up the battlefield, and the living ones stayed to ask for information about the Xiongnu army. The dead ones take off the dominoes, gather the horses, and make the fire bigger, so that the wild wolves don't smell blood. The rest of me went after Xiao Wu. Fast! ”

Zhang Mu didn't care about bandaging, and ordered loudly, three of the four soldiers he ordered were seriously wounded.

"Shi Chang, you can bandage it first, and the four of us will chase it!" Zhuang Master looked at Zhang Mudao, who was bleeding profusely, worriedly.

"I'm fine. Are you going to chase it? It's such a dark day, if only you didn't get lost. Follow me. Come on! Zhang Mu tore off his inner robe, casually tied his injured left arm with one hand a few times, and said loudly.

"Whoa!"

As soon as the five of them crossed the small dirt mountain, they heard the sound of horses' hooves rushing straight over, Zhang Mu grabbed the war horse, listened for a while and said, "A horse, it should be Xiao Wu." ”

The other four couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard Zhang Mu's words, and the strong soldiers shouted: "Xiao Wu, is it your kid?" ”

"Big bull! It's me! Xiao Wu shouted happily in the darkness.

"Haha, I knew you kid was fine!" The sturdy soldier who called the big cow laughed and rode his horse to meet him, and the four of Zhang Mu were also relieved when they heard Xiao Wu's voice, and when they saw the big cow coming up, the four of them waited quietly for the two of them to come over.

The sound of the horses' hooves calmed down for a moment, and then suddenly became urgent.

"Haha, what's the chief, Xiao Wu slaughtered the Hun barbarians who fled." The bull's laughter was accompanied by the sound of hurried horses' hooves.

When Zhang Mu heard Da Niu's words, his heart that had been carrying it suddenly relaxed. After a while, two people and two horses appeared in front of the four of them.

Zhang Mu didn't look at the head of the fleeing Hun scout carried by the big bull, rode his horse close to Xiao Wu, first looked Xiao Wu up and down, saw that Xiao Wu was safe and sound, smiled and patted Xiao Wu's shoulder lightly and said, "You kid, good job!" ”

Zhang Mu didn't ask Xiao Wu how he killed the fleeing Hun scout, this was Xiao Wu's first killing.

Xiao Wu felt Zhang Mu's love for him, and when he heard Shi Chang's praise, his pale face showed a flush of excitement.

"Let's go, go and see what Fu Chuan and a few people asked!" Zhang Mu turned the horse's head and ran out first.

"Drive!" Then Xiao Wu and several people also rode their horses to follow.
