Twenty miles away, the two cavalry still walked in the opposite direction, only less than a stick of incense to meet, Qin Dong rode a horse galloped far away and saw a black line appear in the distance, at this time from nearby greeted a scout cavalry reported: "My lord, the enemy army is coming!" ”

"Stop-"

Qin Dong grabbed the reins, raised his spear, and shouted loudly: "Everyone change horses, bow and arrow ready!" ”

After the order was given, the hundred cavalrymen behind them quickly changed horses, put their mounts aside and let the scouts collect them, and at the same time held their bows and arrows in their hands.

As a result of the training in the previous few days, the discipline of these Hun cavalry had been greatly enhanced, and they still maintained the formation of the two columns just now without further orders.

Qin Dong's left hand even looked forward with a pergola between his eyebrows, and as the mercenary cavalry of the three hundred cavalry got closer and closer, he found that the three hundred cavalry were arranged in several rows horizontally, and the formation was very scattered, some people were very far ahead, some people were very far behind, it was not like a few horizontal rows, in short, the formation was chaotic, and there was no discipline at all.

At this time, the cavalry also discovered Qin Dong and his hundred cavalry, and under the command of its leader, the speed of this cavalry gallop also slowed down, and finally stopped, it is estimated that they did not expect that their troops and horses would be found behind Qin Dong, and now the two cavalry suddenly encountered, and the leader instantly realized that it might be a tough battle next.

The two armies were separated by about a mile, and the battle between the cavalry and the cavalry was about to begin, and the leader of the mercenary army rode his horse to run around in front of the team to organize the formation, and at the same time shouted loudly to do the final mobilization, and the knights in the front row quickly lined up in a neat row, and the back gradually became neat, which is not difficult, and the su zhì of a cavalry unit should also be reflected in whether it can still maintain a neat formation in the process of galloping.

Qin Dong saw the mercenary cavalry lined up in a horizontal queue, and immediately issued an order: "Two rows of horizontal queues!" ”

The hundred cavalry behind him were lined up in two rows behind him, and it took less than a minute, and now the mercenaries are lined up in a horizontal queue, and the two columns of flying shooting and the running tactics of dividing the two wings of the troops originally prepared by Qin Dong are now no longer used, if you want to shoot the enemy with the greatest range, the best tactic now is to use the tactics of turning around and shooting arrows between the retreats of the Mongols, and to use this tactic, you must line up in two horizontal rows in order to exert the maximum lethality.

This tactic of turning around and shooting arrows while retreating was first invented and used by the Parthian Empire (also known as the Empire of Sabbatia), this people is also a people on horseback, riding and archery skills are really good, and they have fought against the Roman Empire for many years without falling behind, and later the Mongols learned this tactic and improved it, and the power has multiplied.

The equipment of this mercenary cavalry of three hundred people is not bad, the weapons and shields are very good, but there are few decent armors, except for the leader and a few main officers, many of the other ordinary soldiers are all in tattered leather armor, and many people do not even have leather armor, they are wearing ordinary linen clothes, draped over their bodies like cloaks, and even more bare-chested and exposed, absolutely some of them have no helmets, their capes are scattered with long curly hair, and their chins and cheeks have thick and long beards, which look dirty and smelly, Wild.

The war horses kept digging their front hooves, the dirt and weeds on the ground were all planed, and the knights on both sides tried to control the war horses to accumulate momentum, not only to accumulate the momentum of the cavalry, but also to accumulate the fighting spirit of the war horses. Both armies looked at each other, and after all the qiē were ready to stop, Qin Dong held a bow in his left hand, hung his spear on the victory hook, raised his right hand and shouted: "Warriors of the Great Huns, kill with me-".

"Woo lur, woo lulu......." A hundred Hun cavalry shouted loudly, and instigated their war horses to follow Qin Dong and rushed out.

The mercenary cavalry on the opposite side saw that Qin Dong and the others had already rushed over on horseback, and under the loud shout of the leader, everyone began to instigate the war horses to accelerate, and the shouts were endless: "Kill, kill, kill!" ”

The sound of horses' hooves rang out, and in a few breaths resounded throughout the plain. The earth trembled, as if out of thin air there was a muffled thunder, horses' hooves clanging, and dirt splashing.

The galloping scene of these hundreds of cavalry created the momentum and scene of thousands of horses galloping, and the two armies rushed towards each other like two black torrents.

It got closer and closer, and after running for hundreds of meters, Qin Dong slowed down his horse, raised his right hand and shouted: "Everyone obeys the order, retreats and turns around to shoot arrows between marches—"

Qin Dong's cavalry quickly stopped the attack, and seeing that the mercenary cavalry on the opposite side was only about one hundred and fifty meters apart, Qin Dong shouted again: "Turn around-"

The distance between the two horsemen was enough for the cavalry to turn around as quickly as possible, and after Qin Dong saw everyone turn around, he turned his head and saw that the mercenary cavalry behind him had already run a distance of sixty or seventy meters, and immediately ordered loudly: "Bend the bow, shoot, retreat!" ”

"Whoosh ......."

After the first wave of salvo shots, seven or eight horsemen immediately fell among the mercenary cavalry who rushed over, Qin Dong noticed that the effect of the salvo was not very good, the opponent's formation was already very scattered after sprinting a few hundred meters, and the opposing cavalry almost had shields, and the lethality caused by the salvo was limited, he said loudly while retreating: "Keep a distance from the enemy, scatter freely, scatter freely at the fastest speed!" ”

The Hun cavalry, who had been given the order, began to shoot arrows freely, and the scattering effect soon came out, and the mercenary cavalry fell one after another on the way to the charge, without stopping for a moment.

They wanted to catch up with the cavalry led by Qin Dong with more strength, but they couldn't catch up, and they kept being shot, some of them were shot in the body and fell to the ground and died directly, some were trampled to death by the cavalry behind, and some of the horses were shot and fell to the ground.

Seeing more and more of their companions dying on the way of pursuit, these mercenary cavalry have never seen this kind of terrifying tactics, they want to fight but they don't have to fight, they want to catch up but can't catch up, but they are passively beaten everywhere, not to mention how uncomfortable it is in their hearts, some people are shocked and gradually feel cold.

Qin Dong looked at the situation behind him while shooting arrows, and found that the mercenaries had lost more than 100 horses in the chase just five or six miles, and now there were less than 200 cavalry left, this is still the time for the cavalry under his command to train this tactic is too short, and the accuracy of archery in the retreat is not good, just this has caused more than 120 casualties to the opponent in the retreat of these few miles, and he is unscathed, if he rushes and kills face-to-face, he can also cause casualties to the other party, but it is difficult to ensure that he has no casualties, It's not cost-effective to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, where is it so cool now? Before making contact, he killed more than twice as many enemies as himself, but he did not lose a single cavalry of his own.

As the chase went farther and farther, the losses became bigger and bigger, and when the losses exceeded half, the mercenaries had already begun to be frightened and couldn't chase anymore, the leader immediately grabbed the reins and raised his hand and shouted: "Stop, stop chasing!" ”

The mercenary leader was almost crying, he had never fought such a humiliating battle, they also participated in the battle of Chalons two years ago, although the Hun cavalry at that time was strong, but it was not impossible to kill, in that battle, the mercenary cavalry he led killed a lot of Hun cavalry, but this time even the Huns' hair did not touch the loss of one hundred and fifty horses, and the other party only had one hundred horses, this feeling is too uncomfortable.
