Chapter 399: Cavalry Fights for Dominance

(Thank you for your support, Nickname Original and Rilldai.) )

The sky is falling, the earth is cracking!

For those nomadic tribes from the land of Mobei, the Tiele people, they never imagined that they who claimed to live on horseback would one day be chased by the southern barbarians of the Central Plains, who they had always despised as cowards, like lost dogs, and they were also cavalry by the southern barbarians and Han people. If it weren't for the cold wind whistling in their ears accompanied by the roaring battle horns of the Southern Barbarian Han people, they would never have been willing to believe such a fact.

Fear, inexplicable fear.

The Tiele cavalry felt that their hearts were taken away by that great fear, and the Han cavalry on both wings charged in clusters, like a red wave rushing to the sky, and it looked so shocking on the vast white snow, as if blood had stained the earth red.

The Tiele people couldn't believe that they, the overlords of the grassland, would be chased by a group of Han people without a way to enter the heavens and the earth, especially if they were chased by a group of Han cavalry, it was too unbelievable.

Hundreds of years ago, they lived in the Beihai area for nomadic hunting and submitted to the Xiongnu, and after the Han army defeated the Xiongnu, they began to move south and west, and came into contact with the Han people. Two hundred years ago, the Western Jin Dynasty was weak, and Zhuhu went south. Two hundred years ago, in the Battle of Weishui, the former Qin who unified the north sent troops to fight at Yushui, and finally the 800,000-strong army was defeated by the 80,000-strong Eastern Jin army. The powerful Former Qin split and declined, and the northern ethnic groups broke away from the Former Qin rule one after another. Zhai Liaozi, a native of Tiele, moved to the Great Wei Dynasty, built the capital on the south bank of the Yellow River, and the country was called Great Wei. The land of the seven counties on the south bank of the Yellow River occupies a place between the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Later Yan and the Western Yan. In the era when the heroes competed for hegemony, they once controlled the heart of the Central Plains.

A hundred years ago. The Northern Wei Dynasty launched nine conquests against them, and the Tiele tribes were captive of 6 or 700,000 people, and finally settled in the Monan generation.

At that time, the Tiele tribe's Afu Zhiluo led more than 100,000 people to move westward, and established the Gaoche country in front of the Cheshi in the Western Regions, with seven masters, and 55 years before and after, the Gaoche country controlled the gateway to the Western Regions to the south, Gaochang, Yanqi, Shanshan, and the northeast to the Selengge River, Orkhon River, and Tula River. It reaches the Altai Mountains in the north, the Yueban in the northwest of Wusun in the west, and the Northern Wei Dynasty in the east. In the end, it was destroyed by Rouran.

Zhai Wei, Gao Che.

Although the Tiele people were successively conquered by the Xiongnu, Han, Rouran, Northern Wei, Turkic, etc., they never gave up resistance, and even although they were conquered for a time, they were still a strong force on the grassland. On the grassland, the Tiele tribe bloomed everywhere, and there were more and more ethnic tribes, and they were more and more scattered. Tieler's cavalry. It is the strongest man attached to the most elite guard cavalry on the grassland after the Blue Turks, far more than the Zhaowu Jiu surnamed Hu in the Western Regions, and naturally stronger than the Han people in the Southern Central Plains. They never even really put the Han people in their eyes, in the eyes of many Tiele people. The impression of the Han Chinese is still stuck in the image of their ancestors 200 years ago when they were able to establish a state on the south bank of the Yellow River in the heart of the Central Plains with a small tribe, and the Han people were only their slaves. It's a two-legged sheep. Even if the Central Plains ends the war of secession and is unified now. But they didn't really see it as an adversary, they just thought the Han people were cunning. Skilled in building Great Wall castles, relying on tall castles to hide inside against the mighty steppe knights.

But they never thought that the Han people would dare to take the initiative to fight, and even give up their specialties, leave the sheltered castle, and take the initiative to fight in the field, and even fight on horseback.

Oh my God, what's wrong with this world, why can't I understand it more and more.

How did the two-legged sheep suddenly become a wolf, no, it became a tiger, more ferocious than a wolf.

All the Tiele people collapsed, and the barely formed array had long since collapsed. The Tiele cavalry ignored the order and scrambled to turn and flee. The love of the rout is like a plague, which quickly infects everyone. The scattered soldiers were like a flood that opened the floodgates, and the waves rose one after another, and the back waves overshadowed the front waves, and at once the ranks were crushed, and everywhere there were cries of terror and uneasiness: "Run, run." ”

The Tiele cavalry, which was temporarily combined by these various departments, shouted louder than a donkey when they came, patting their chests and saying that they would kill all the Han cavalry that attacked Wei Su. But at this time, when the Han cavalry came out, they ran faster than the yellow sheep on the grassland.

Weapons were thrown all over the place, and many people didn't even have their clothes on, and everywhere there were discarded tribal flags and their abandoned clothes.

In an instant, the three thousand Tiele forwards disappeared and collapsed.

Shan Xiongxin and Zhang Jincheng each led ten cavalry regiments, one left and one right, from both flanks, and suddenly pounced into the fleeing crowd of Tiele.

Shouting the battle horn, the 10,000 Huaihuang cavalry led by a noodle flag and a team flag rushed into the defeated army with their sabers raised wildly, cheering and starting a massacre.

The excited cheers of thousands of Huaihuang cavalry were as strong as the death-defying screams of countless Tiele people.

On the bank of the river in the distance, Li Jing and a group of young soldiers overlooked the battlefield.

A young soldier looked incredulous: "Although we suddenly attacked and ambushed the Tiele people, but even so, even if we have several times the cavalry of the Tiele people, they will not be so bad, they actually fled directly, and they still fled. It is said that the people of Mobei Tiele are strong, I think they are running fast. "In the eyes of the young man who joined the army, he was full of disdain and contempt for such an unbearable Tiele people.

Li Jing, who was standing in the snow with a command knife in both hands, kept staring at the battlefield and chuckled lightly.

He didn't look back, staring at the battlefield as always, "This is not unusual, although the Tiele people are a people on horseback, good at riding and shooting, and fierce in battle, but they are actually quite primitive tribal warfare methods, or it can be said that their combat methods are actually just their hunting methods. The people of Mobei Tiele are all good at riding and shooting, and when it comes to physical qualities, these people are naturally superior to the Han people in the Central Plains such as me, and then they have innate advantages, but they are not acquired. The Tiele people do not have such a systematic way of training troops, and they do not have such a professional command system, strategic and tactical strategy, as we do. They relied on simple methods of hunting, and their tactics were only simple methods of outflanking, ambushing, and chasing. Moreover, these steppe tribes have a shortcoming in their battles, that is, they are very explosive, but they are not endurance enough, or they cannot last, let alone have the determination to fight to the death like us specially trained soldiers, even if the battle situation is not good. And these steppe nomads are different, they are used to the habit of going up when they see a profit, and running when they are unfavorable. Anyway, they didn't have the city and land, so the battle situation was unfavorable and they immediately scattered and ran away, using the speed of their horses to escape, and then regrouped and looked for another opportunity to fight. ”

"Besides, our ambush is indeed too unexpected for these Tiele people, not to mention, as soon as we appear, we will have 10,000 elite horsemen." Li Jing was full of emotion and even proudly pointed to the Huaihuang cavalry on the battlefield like a wolf into a flock of sheep, "Look at our cavalry, and then look at the cavalry of the Tiele people." ”

Following Li Jing's fingers, all the soldiers clearly saw that on the battlefield, the Huaihuang cavalry were neatly armoured, they were uniformly wearing bright chest armor, wearing full-coverage steel helmets, long silk cloaks, stab-proof heavy felt boots on their feet, and neat cavalry cowhide vest leather pants. The armor and battle robe are brightly colored, with the fluttering helmets on the knight's steel helmet, and the tassels inserted on the top of the horse's head, the Huaihuang cavalry is gorgeous like the honor guard of the Son of Heaven, not to mention, the war horse of the Huaihuang cavalry is also covered with leather vest painted with tiger stripes, and some key parts are also inlaid with strong thin steel plates.

Compared with them, Tieler's cavalry was like a team called Huazi, dressed in all kinds of clothes, and even the banners were all sorts, especially Xu I had just come up from the river, and under the arrogance of the enemy, even the clothes and saddles were still in place, which would flee naked and bare-chested wolves. I was still very comfortable when I was bathing in the hot river just now, but at this time, I left the warm river bank and galloped in the ice and snow against the cold wind.

"Momentum! After such a long period of training, and equipped with such luxurious equipment, our cavalry immediately lost the morale of the Tiele people, and they did not dare to fight us at all. Li Jing pointed to the magnificent Huaihuang cavalry on the battlefield and praised. The Huaihuang Cavalry may not be an elite division in a hundred battles, but with a good training system, especially uninterrupted actual combat drills, and excellent equipment supply, this Huaihuang Cavalry Army has a very short time, but it already has many places that are difficult to compare with the elite government army of the Sui Army. Not to mention that these cavalry soldiers have a very high status in Huaihuang, and even have a very high salary, and a good pension system, they are not just a group of soldiers who are called up to serve on the battlefield, but a group of troops who take this as their profession and fight with their hearts. They have no worries, maintain high morale, and have excellent weapons and armor, good logistics supply, and excellent tactical command, these cavalry are on the move, and they are always in the best condition.

"Our cavalry, when faced with an enemy of less than 5,000, is completely invincible. We don't even have to do anything else, we don't need a tactical strategy, we just charge and charge again. A young man who had just graduated from the lecture martial arts hall sighed confidently, facing the three thousand warrior scouts of the tribes who had no fighting spirit, the Huaihuang cavalry was really without pressure.

Li Jing did not interfere in directing the battle anymore, he was completely just an observer of the battlefield, observing the battlefield and checking the content of the training. As for the battlefield command, it is up to Shan Xiongxin and Zhang Jin to call the two commanders on the battle array. Contrary to the truth, as the young man said, there was no worry about this battle, there were various cavalry reconnaissance squads sent out from afar, and they would not have to worry about the pursuing cavalry being lured by the Tiele people or ambushed halfway or something. And the situation on the battlefield, there is no need to think about any tactics, as long as it is enough to charge and chase like this. (To be continued......) R1292
