"Tactics? What tactics? Xu You's exclamation startled the head and made him very dissatisfied.

The enemy used a small force to hedge with his own brigade of cavalry, easily through the formation, and then follow the original way to kill back, if this is a tactic, it means that the enemy has already calculated, their cavalry can easily kill back and forth, isn't this a contempt for the Xianbei people? What's even more depressing is that this is a bullshit tactic and completely useless!

"If he was trying to provoke, then I admit it, he succeeded!" The head said through gritted teeth.

"No, this is not a provocation, I'm afraid his purpose is ......" Xu You pulled the corners of his mouth, showed a difficult smile, and was about to explain, but when the words came to his mouth, they turned into an exclamation: "Oh no! ”

The leader was frightened by him, and when he looked closely, he found that the role of the Han army's light cavalry was not a provocation as he imagined, or a hasty response, they were just creating a favorable situation for the friendly army.

After the light cavalry broke away, more than a thousand cavalry pulled out a long frontal battle line, closely followed the light cavalry, and rushed up. Because the light riders were so fast, the heavy riders seemed to be moving slowly, as if they were slowing down, but in fact, they had already entered the rhythm of the charge.

The barbarian bull array that Gongsun Zhan saw before, after the two horns separated, had turned into an iron hammer array, with the heavy cavalry as the hammer head, with the momentum of thunder, and smashed heavily into Hu Qi's array.

According to the tactics discussed in advance by the leader, the Chinese army should stretch to the two wings as much as possible, and the scorpion-shaped array should be transformed into a scissor formation, so as to give the edge of the heavy cavalry. Outflank and raid the infantry behind them out of array.

As a result, under the repeated attacks of the two teams of light cavalry of Tai Shici and Wei Yan. Hu Qi was blocked, and there was no way to avoid the two wings. It's like a narrow part of a big river, and suddenly someone throws a big stone into it, and it blocks the diversion of the river.

Under normal circumstances, this is impossible to happen, the charging momentum of 100,000 Hu cavalry, 1,000 light cavalry can not be contained, just like a standing in front of the rushing stream, only the part that has been washed away.

But now the light rider is not blocking the trunk, but the branch. Even if Hu Qi does not avoid the wings, the horse has a place to run, so the pressure of the second general Tai Shi Ci is not too great to resist, and the pressure is on Hu Qi's side.

The difficulty of a team of 100,000 people to make the tactical maneuvers of the Chinese army gradually avoiding the two flanks is not under the changes of ordinary infantry arrays, and there are high requirements for the cavalry of soldiers and the organizational ability of generals.

Although the leader and his army could ask for it, they didn't consider the problem of fault tolerance, and as a result, they were stirred up by Tai Shici and the others. His change of formation suffered a shameful failure, and the main force of Hu Cai could only follow the original defense line and crash into the Qingzhou army's military formation.

"Bastard!" Realizing the intention of the Han army, the leader was so angry that he scolded repeatedly: "It's too cunning." It's despicable that you can still come up with such a trick at such a time! ”

Before the war, he tried every possible way to avoid a head-on confrontation with the Iron Cavalry. As a result, this psychology has been calculated and exploited in a very targeted manner. How could he not be angry?

"Still, no matter how powerful the cavalry. It's only more than a thousand, and the battle line is so long, it's almost like a sieve, and there's nothing to be afraid of! Blow the horn, blow it louder, so that the warriors don't have to be afraid, rush forward with all their might, the enemy is only more than 1,000, we have 100,000! ”

After all, he is a man who is used to being the boss, and the leader quickly notices his gaffe and regains his strength. He noticed the shortcomings of the iron cavalry array that was not dense enough, and gave a very targeted instruction: If you can't dodge, just come hard, anyway, there are many people on your side.

The reason why the Qingzhou army stretched the array so long was nothing more than to protect the infantry behind as much as possible, even if the collision between the front and the iron cavalry suffered a large loss, it would be bearable. In this way, it is not a good thing that you can work with the cavalry on both wings to attack the infantry in Qingzhou on three sides.

Hearing the instructions from the Chinese army, Hu Qi, who was panicking, calmed down, increased the speed of his horse to the extreme, and crashed into the oncoming steel beast.

Da Dan Yu is right, the array of the Han army's iron cavalry is very thin, there are only three rows in the horizontal team, and the gap between the columns is also nearly five steps away, even if you can't win, you have the opportunity to pass through the middle.

"Boom!" The cavalry hedged, how fast, the horn of the leader had not stopped, and the two cavalry galloping towards each other had already collided fiercely, making a huge sound.

In this battle, the iron cavalry used a long lance of the same color, and the heavy cavalry that charged with the lance was like a hill with a strange peak protruding and moving.

At the moment of impact, more than half of Rulin's lance became bent, which was a characteristic of the horse lance after stabbing its target. The excellent performance of the lance completely absorbed the power of the impact, and suddenly burst out in the next moment, ejecting the corpse hanging on the lance in reverse, and smashing into the queue behind it like a meteorite.

Not all lances perform so well, and there are also lances that can't stand too much impact and break. However, this could not change the strength of the iron cavalry, and the cavalry who had lost the lance threw away the broken lance, took out the long knife or chain hammer from under the saddle, and launched a new round of killing with a more ferocious attitude.

The chain hammer is a unique cavalry melee weapon of the Qingzhou Iron Cavalry, which is not a traditional weapon in the Central Plains, but a sharp weapon once equipped by the heavy armored infantry cavalry in the Western Middle Ages. The overall structure is very simple, there is a wooden handle more than a foot long at the back, and the front end of the wooden handle is connected with an iron chain more than three feet long, and the other end of the iron chain has an iron hammer head, which has a lot of protrusions on it, which is very ferocious at first glance.

This thing is very simple to use, that is, pick up and smash, you can't block, and you can't use fancy moves, but this move is already worth the consumption of building weapons.

The iron bump weighing more than ten pounds was waved up, making a heart-wrenching 'woo' sound, and then suddenly smashed head-on, anyone who saw such a scene, before he could fight back, his hands and feet were half soft.

The best way to deal with this kind of weapon is to use a long weapon to defeat the opponent before they get close, or use the tactic of killing the opponent to force the opponent to come to the rescue.

But the problem is that the hammers are all ironclad cavalry, and they don't care about the thrusts of ordinary long weapons, they will use the shield on their left arm to block and protect the vital points, and then at the same time as the enemy stabs or misses, they smash the opponent's head like a watermelon.

Some of the Xianbei leaders were red-eyed, unwilling to be beaten and unable to fight back, so they gathered a few subordinates, wanting to use group fighting tactics to deal with the iron cavalry, so that others could attract attention, and they were ready to pounce on the cold, even if they fought together, they had to tear the other party off the horse.

As a result, a few people just rushed up, but suddenly found that the enemy became two, the Han army in the front row slowed down the speed of the horse at some point, and the cavalry in the back row lost no time in inserting it.

With a horse lance and a chain hammer, several Hu Qi became moths to the flames.

The overall situation of the battle showed a one-sided situation.

100,000 Hu riders flocked up, looking overwhelming, with no end in sight, and only the tide in the world can be compared. This kind of momentum should not be something that more than a thousand people can stop anyway. But Qingzhou Iron Rider is like those rocks that have existed for tens of millions of years, no matter how the stormy waves beat and how the tides and rain eroded, they always stand proudly and stand still.

At least in the initial stage of the two armies' hand-to-hand encounter, the numerical superiority of the Hu cavalry could not be reflected at all, and the strong attack and defense of the iron cavalry itself, coupled with the strong crushing of the chariot suspension array, they could only wail and strive to do a hopeless struggle.

The leader and the others were all pale, they heard about the strength of the Qingzhou Iron Cavalry, but they didn't expect it to be so strong. If there are seven or eight thousand such iron horses, the iron horses alone can kill all the 100,000 tribal warriors.

In addition to trembling, they were also happy.

Fortunately, the number of the opponent's iron cavalry was limited, and because of the need to protect the foot soldiers, the array was stretched very wide, resulting in many gaps in the middle of the array, and many tribal warriors were frightened by the power of the iron cavalry, so they simply took the war horse and bypassed the iron cavalry. Due to the limitations of the Iron Armor, the Iron Rider does not have much to do with the enemies on the side and back, as long as you pass the edge of the Iron Cavalry on the front, you can be unharmed.

The people who started doing it did it unconsciously, or by mistake, and soon, more and more people discovered the loophole and took advantage of it. If you have to do it, who wants to fight with that kind of monster that can't be hurt or broken?

That's right, the iron armor is not really indestructible, but if you want to destroy the iron armor, you must exert your strength at a fairly close distance and strike with all your strength with a heavy weapon. The danger of doing so is too great, after all, the opponent is not a clay puppet, and the weapons in their hands are much more powerful than their own!

Therefore, from the perspective of these spectators, the array of the Iron Cavalry is like a very sharp comb, the comb teeth are indestructible, the blockers are invincible, and the loopholes are also very large, and the purpose of protecting the foot soldiers behind them cannot be fully achieved.

"Huh, it's okay, fortunately, the Han army responded in a hurry, otherwise it would have ended badly today." The head took a long breath and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and finally let go of his hanging heart a little.

If the iron cavalry were closely arrayed, God knows how many people's lives they would have to harvest before they were exhausted. Now, although the scene is not very good-looking, the casualties have dropped after all, and the Chinese army has also smoothly made contact with the Han army's foot soldiers.

Next, as long as the Chinese army and the left and right flanks break through the Han army's infantry as planned, and the rear army consumes the physical strength of the iron cavalry in the way of guerrilla, it should be able to achieve victory.

However, God seemed to be determined to make a joke about him, and before he could finish wiping his sweat, there was another abnormal protrusion on the battlefield. (To be continued......)
