Judging by the momentum alone, these Han knights are like a raging wave, wanting to drown everything in their path!

However, when it comes to cavalry warfare, how many cavalry are there in the whole world, which can be compared with the "Royal Court Iron Cavalry"?

He just rode a horse and slowly walked one hundred and fifty steps in front of Xie Xun's troops, and Xie Xun had to obediently reduce his advance speed, and the whole army was on alert and ready for battle.

Facing the menacing Song Guo's department, why not unhurriedly turn the horse's head and retreat backwards.

When Song Guo's brigade of cavalry sprinted into a distance of less than fifty steps from the "Wang Ting Iron Cavalry", he gave an order and took five hundred subordinates to do something.

Ride on a horse, turn around, draw your bow, and fire your arrows!

Then, in the noise of people turning over their horses in the rear, the "royal court iron horsemen", experienced spurred their horses, accelerated, and withdrew.

This method of warfare, in the West, is known as the "Parthian tactic". In the East, however, this is the legend that the nomads are truly qualified to put on the show, proud of the essence of the farming people's tactic: "the art of mounted archery".

Song Guo naturally knew the "art of riding and archery". He himself is a master of riding and archery. However, Song Guo had never encountered a situation where so many masters who were proficient in mounted archery gathered together at the same time. After this rain of arrows, the guerrillas lost no less than twenty knights at once!

Even Song Guo himself, if he hadn't suddenly exploded the "Zhan Qi" to the extreme, he slashed out seventeen swords in a row and knocked eleven powerful arrows flying; Relying on the excellent iron armor on his body, he ate three arrows, and I am afraid that I will follow in the footsteps of those comrades who fell under the hooves of horses!

However, these deaths and injuries are not the most headache-causing consequences.

What's even more headache is that the knights and war horses shot down by the Xianbei cavalry have undoubtedly become obstacles that subsequent knights need to cross carefully. In this way, the speed of the guerrilla pursuit was forced to slow down, but the Xianbei people could take the opportunity to retreat and calmly open the distance between the two armies!

"Yellow Hair!"

Song Guo looked at the Xianbei people in front of him, who were not in a hurry or slow, and scolded fiercely. It is said that the pure-bred Xianbei people have yellow hair and blue eyes, white skin and long hair. Divided by the race of later generations, it belongs to the typical Caucasian race. Therefore, the Han people in the border areas often refer to the Xianbei people as "yellow hair".

It's just that cursing can undoubtedly not cause any damage to Xianbei people. Under the leadership of Song Guo, the guerrillas caught up again and wanted to attack the Xianbei people. As a result, it was naturally exchanged for another return arrow.

This time, the guerrillas paid fifteen casualties and also inflicted a blow on the Xianbei people with bows and crossbows. However, the results were extremely disappointing. Of the hundreds of arrows fired from the bow and crossbow, only three or four hit the enemy. The few arrows that hit only once again confirmed the excellent protection of the Xuantie armor against the damage of bows and arrows.

For this result, it does not mean that the quality of the bows and arrows of the Han army is far inferior to that of the Xianbei people. It's just that the Xianbei people turned around to shoot arrows, and the arrows met the pursuing Han army, just like the Han army automatically crashed into the arrows. And the arrows of the Han army need to catch up with the speed of the Xianbei people's galloping horses from behind.

Under such an entry and exit, it is equivalent to an increase of ten steps in the range of the Xianbei people, while the range of the Han army has decreased by ten steps. Ten steps in the range may not sound like much difference, but in terms of shooting effect, it is the difference between hitting and not hitting, and between armor-piercing and non-armor-piercing.

- The elite of the nomadic cavalry is really extraordinary......

The arrogant man with good eyesight immediately noticed the results of the two chases, and secretly sighed in his heart. In the past few days, the victory won by the Huns inevitably made Zhang arrogant a little fluttering, thinking that the strength of the steppe people was nothing more than that. Now, the performance of Xianbei's elite "Wang Ting Iron Cavalry" has given Zhang Qiang a blow to the head, so that his mentality has successfully returned to normal.

- Fortunately, there are not many Xianbei people with such elite knights......

- But I don't know, how did Gongsun Zhan recruit those "white horse righteous servants"?

Although Zhang Yan did not see the combat effectiveness of "White Horse Yicong", he had listened to Zhang Yan's detailed introduction through gritted teeth. When I heard Zhang Yan say it at that time, Zhang Yan didn't think much about it because he knew that "White Horse Yicong" finally folded its wings in the hands of the famous Jizhou general Lu Yi. However, after seeing the power of the Xianbei people's riding and shooting with his own eyes, Zhang Qi was finally moved.

- Perhaps, a similar team of mounted archers should be formed?

While thinking about it, he was arrogant and ordered the guerrillas to withdraw, not to take the initiative to attack the elite iron cavalry of the Xianbei people, but to attack other Xianbei people with poor combat effectiveness.

The elite of the Xianbei people is the baby bump of Helian. The cavalry of the Taixing Army, how can it not be an arrogant baby bump? If you find that the target's bones are too hard, Insolence has no interest in stumbling with the other party. And Helian saw that most of the nomadic cavalry had successfully retreated, and he had no intention of gathering the whole army and fighting hard with the foot soldiers of the Taixing army.

As a result, under the situation of mutual threat of cavalry, the final outcome of the two sides was actually peaceful......

After the Xianbei people retreated, Zhang Qiang began to count the gains and losses of this battle. At the cost of nearly 100 casualties, more than 600 Xianbei people were killed, killed and wounded, 200 war horses, more than 700 horses, and nearly 2,000 sheep were captured. If you want to talk about the results, it is not that big.

However, compared with the loss of troops and generals, and the company that lost half a month's army rations [those sheep], this battle, the Taixing army can be regarded as a small victory.

After the battle, the Taixing army did not return to Meiji City immediately, but temporarily stationed in case the Xianbei people came back to the horse gun, and took a rest by the way.

After the good news was transmitted back to Meiji City, Cheng Yu, the military advisor who was in charge of staying behind, immediately came to the Taixing army with thousands of people and a large number of horses and baggage.

For Cheng Yu's arrival, Zhang Qi was a little puzzled. In particular, Cheng Yu also brought a large number of people and baggage. In Zhang Qiang's opinion, the battle has been fought, why do you need so much baggage? Those burdens are all prepared for a protracted war with the Xianbei people. Now that the Xianbei people have been successfully repulsed, the army can completely retreat, and there is no need to transport military rations.

- There should be a deep meaning in it......

When Cheng Yu saw Zhang Mad and said a simple greeting, he asked the surrounding guards to step back and talk to Zhang Mad alone.

Zhang Qiang respectfully made a cup of tea for Cheng Yu and asked:

"Sir, please advise."

Cheng Yu was originally not interested in tea, a bitter medicine in the south. However, under the vigorous recommendation of Zhang Qiang, it can be regarded as accepting this kind of medicinal material with a rich aftertaste. He took a sip of tea and asked, as he said arrogantly:

"Do you have the strength to fight again?"

Zhang Mad thought for a moment and replied decisively:

"Yes! In this small battle, many soldiers have not finished their efforts. There's a lot of room to spare. ”

Cheng Yu nodded, and said:

"In this way, the servant plan will work."

"What is your plan, sir?"

Cheng Yu didn't answer, and asked rhetorically:

"Now Xianbei, who is the biggest threat to the Xiongnu homeland occupied by our army?"

Without thinking, Zhang Qi said:

Although Helian is a king, due to the lack of prestige, the distance, and the reason that the whip is beyond the reach, he can only effectively control more than ten "yi" in the central Xianbei and the western Xianbei. For the eastern Xianbei and the rest of the central and western Xianbei, he was powerless. ”

"Even so, Helian is the King of Xianbei after all. In terms of strength alone, it is still the strongest overlord on the grassland. ”

程昱 interface says:

"However, he suffered a small loss this time, knowing the strength of our army, he should not dare to make it easily in the future."

For this, Zhang Qiang agreed.

The grassland herdsmen came out to attack the Han lands to plunder the wealth, not to send them to death. The border between Dahan and Xianbei is extremely long, and there are more than a dozen places that can be broken through. For those cities where resistance is strong, the steppe people have always avoided things.

In a word, among the more than a dozen counties on the border of Han and China, which one is empty in defense, which one is the most likely place for the steppe people to appear. Avoiding the real and attacking the false, this is the first tactic that the steppe cavalry needs to abide by.

If you choose a hard bone to gnaw, maybe the materials and goods captured after the defeat will not be enough to compensate for your own casualties. The leader who led the army, the next time he started a war, not many people would be willing to follow.

"Therefore, at present, the greatest threat to our army is not Danhan Mountain. It's ......"

Cheng Yu got up. He came to the military tent, next to the map that was placed, pointed to a certain place on the map, and said in a solemn tone:

"Rather...... Over here! ”

Where Cheng Yu pointed to it, three small characters were indicated. Zhang Qiang glanced at it and read it out casually:

"Feasting on the ......"

"Yes, it's a feast!"

Yan Liyou is a person's name. A humble "adult".

This person is one of the most trusted cronies of Xianbei King Tan Shihuai during his lifetime, and now he is in charge of the western Xianbei Central, close to the territory of ten "yi", powerful, and one of the most troublesome political enemies of Helian.

The current Xianbei is under the jurisdiction of seven or eight "adults". Among them, there were several forces, all of which had a march route to invade Meiji. But when it comes to the distance from Meiji City, Yanliyou is undoubtedly the closest.

This person's territory is in the area of the original Shuofang County that Tanshihuai took from the Han family. Even the Helian of Danhan Mountain is more distant than the territory of Yanliyou.

Moreover, if you want to talk about the ability to fight, Yan Liyou can undoubtedly complete the explosion. If this person was not born in the Xiongnu race, he is completely different from the Xianbei people in appearance, and has always been considered by the authentic Xianbei people to be a "fake surname", I am afraid that there is a certain possibility that he will replace the position of the Xianbei king of Helian and become the new master of the grassland.

ps: Talking has to count, this is today's addition, and there is another one in the evening.

In the same way, if you don't change it in the future, it will definitely not be quietly chayexschayexs. updated. Hehe......
