Qin Dong has been leading the crossbow cavalry to stand on the high ground in the south of the battlefield, and the retreating archers have also regrouped in front of the high ground, where he can see the situation of the entire battlefield very clearly, the scene of the heavy cavalry charging just now is very spectacular and powerful, at this time, the light cavalry of the Chinese army has been strangled together with the cavalry troops of Moldo, and the role of the heavy cavalry has come to an end temporarily.

When Qin Dong saw the heavy cavalry rushing out of the opponent's military formation, he immediately ordered: "Order Afard's heavy cavalry to rest in place and wait for orders!" ”

"Order the archers of Tolon, on the left flank, to start shooting the enemy, and then the light cavalry will rush up and strangle them!"

"Order Liu Yang on the right flank to directly lead the light cavalry to attack from the right flank, and the archers will shoot the enemy troops surrounded in the middle on the periphery!"

"Yes, sir!" The herald said yes and immediately asked the trumpeter and standard-bearer to convey the order.

After the horn sounded and the standard-bearer conveyed the order in the flag, the troops of Tolong and Liu Yang, who had just completed the outflanking of the left and right flanks, immediately began to flank the Moldor cavalry who were surrounded in the middle from the left, right and rear.

"Master Chifu, we are surrounded!" The Guards Centurion reported to Moldo.

At this time, Mordo had a few arrows stuck in his body, and his face was covered with blood, but because he was wearing well-known chain mail, the arrows only passed through the gap between the chain mail pieces and shot into his muscles, and did not hurt his internal organs, so he was not injured, he cut down the cavalry that had just rushed over beside him, and then turned his head to look at the sides, and sure enough, he found that the left and right flanks of his army had been surrounded, and the other party began to attack his cavalry team from the front, back, left and right.

The guard centurion said anxiously: "My lord, let another group of men rush out." We can rush out as soon as we open a gap, and if it's too late, we'll already have half of the casualties. In a few moments, there will be no casualties, and even if another group rushes out, it will probably be useless! ”

"Qin Dong, such a cunning guy, I originally wanted to keep another team of men and horses to rush out and kill Qin Dong at a critical moment, but I didn't expect that he would let the left and right wings not participate in the charge but directly surround my two wings, and also used heavy cavalry to directly charge my army formation, causing me heavy losses. Now it seems that the hidden army can't defeat Qin Dong, it can only be used to save lives, give orders. Let that army rush over as fast as they can to help us open a breach! ”

"Yes, sir!" The Guard Centurion immediately had the nearby trumpeters blow the horn.

In fact, in this battle, Moldor almost pulled all the men over the age of fifteen in the entire territory, and there was not a single soldier in his territory at this time. He divided the cavalry he brought in this time into two troops. One of the two thousand cavalry is now engaged in a head-on battle with Qin Dong, and the other one thousand cavalry marches parallel to this cavalry, the two armies are separated by ten miles, and the reason why Qin Dong's reconnaissance cavalry did not find the survival of the other cavalry team during the battle is because there is a narrow swamp in the middle, and the reconnaissance cavalry team gave up the intention of crossing the swamp after losing two cavalry, so that the storage of the other enemy cavalry team was not found.

It wasn't long after the trumpet for help sounded on Mordo's side. The reconnaissance cavalry on Qin Dong's side finally discovered that another cavalry team was galloping towards the battlefield at high speed, and immediately sent someone over to report to Qin Dong.

"What? An enemy cavalry appeared on the right flank? Qin Dong was taken aback. At this time, it is very dangerous for your own side to have another enemy army outside the battlefield, but fortunately, Qin Dong has left a reserve, otherwise I really don't know how to deal with it.

He then said angrily, "Why did another enemy suddenly appear? Why didn't your scouts detect it before? ”

The scout horse bowed his head and said: "My lord, there is a very narrow swamp ten miles away on the right, we originally sent people to investigate, but our team fell into two people there in a row, and the horses were not spared, so we gave up the plan to reconnoiter through the swamp, who knows, there is really a cavalry over there, it may be that they heard the sound of the enemy's horn on the battlefield here and bypassed the swamp and came in the direction of the battlefield!" ”

Qin Dongtie repelled the reconnaissance cavalry with a blushing face, put his hand on the pergola and looked at the far room on the right wing, and sure enough, he found a large amount of dust rising into the sky, with the speed of the cavalry, I believe that soon the enemy reinforcements will arrive, he turned his head to look at the battlefield again, at this time Moldor and his remaining seven or eight hundred cavalry have all been surrounded in the middle, and it is a matter of time before they are annihilated, he immediately said: "The herald asks Toron to shout to the besieged Moldo, let him surrender immediately, otherwise kill him without leaving a piece of armor!" ”

"Order, the crossbow cavalry and the archers below will follow me to the right flank to stop the opponent's reinforcements!"

"Woo-woo-" The horn sounded, and the flag was then spoken.

Qin Dong led the reserve of five hundred crossbow cavalry to the bottom of the high ground to meet with three hundred archers, a total of eight hundred cavalry galloped quickly to the right flank, originally he thought that he only needed to sit in command of the Chinese army for this battle, but he did not expect that in the end, he would need to personally go out to block the opponent's 1,000 cavalry reinforcements.

The other party's reinforcements really came so quickly, in an instant, Qin Dong led five hundred crossbow cavalry and three hundred archers just arrived because of the formation, the opponent's one thousand cavalry rushed over, Qin Dong lined up the five hundred crossbow cavalry in five rows, one hundred horses in each row, and three hundred archers were placed on the left and right sides, one hundred and fifty horses on each side.

Qin Dong rode on horseback and held the hilt of the knife tightly, and immediately said after seeing the opponent's 1,000 cavalry entering a range of one kilometer: "The herald orders one hundred and fifty cavalry each on the left and right wings of the archers to attack, kill the two wings of the enemy, only use bows and arrows to kill the enemy, report keep a distance!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

The other party's reinforcements didn't expect that Qin Dong's side would have men and horses to block it, and they also took the initiative to send troops to take the lead in attacking from the left and right flanks. The speed of the cavalry advancing each other is very fast, and they met in the blink of an eye, Qin Dong's archers began to shoot arrows with their bows two hundred meters away, and continued to shoot, this is not a competition to shoot targets, the opponent's cavalry impact formation is so dense, and the probability of shooting is very high.

Many enemy cavalry who could not react kept falling from their horses, which made the leader of the enemy reinforcements shocked, he didn't expect Qin Dong's archers to shoot so far, he immediately ordered a part of the left and right flanks to pounce on Qin Dong's archers, but those archers quickly jumped their horses' heads to open up the distance after shooting a few rounds of arrows, and the enemy cavalry sent to meet the enemy could only pursue bravely.

There were also six or seven hundred enemy cavalry rushing towards the five hundred crossbow cavalry of Qin Dong's army array, Qin Dong saw that the other party was already very close to the crossbow cavalry in the front row of his side, Qin Dong rode his horse in the forefront, he drew his saber and raised it and said: "The first row holds the crossbow at a zero degree angle of the horizontal line, and the second row holds the crossbow at a ten-degree angle, shooting-"

Whoosh ......

The enemy reinforcements who rushed to the front began to fall to the ground in a large area, due to the speed of the sprint, some of the horses were hit by arrows first, and even the men and horses were planted on the ground, and the cavalry behind also fell, and the first and second rows began to fire continuous crossbows.

Qin Dong saw that the effect was good, and the distance between the two sides was too close, so he didn't dare to be careless, so he immediately ordered again: "The third row is at an angle of twenty degrees, and the fourth row is at an angle of thirty degrees, shoot arrows-"

Whoosh ......

The area of this blow was larger and farther, and the cavalry whose enemy reinforcements were interrupted were within the firing range, so the follow-up force of the impact in front of the enemy army was insufficient, and a large area of the enemy cavalry was killed by the continuous fire of the repeating crossbows, although the impact speed of the cavalry was very fast, under this continuous crossbow fire, the enemy cavalry could not rush forward at all.

In the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, the founding general of the Ming Dynasty, Lan Yu (also said by Mu Ying), invented the three-stage shooting, the musket at that time was still very primitive, although it was very primitive, Lan Yu still relied on the three-stage shooting method to organize musketeers and archers so that the cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty suffered heavy losses, and was driven out of the Central Plains, straight to the Mobei grassland.

The difference between using a repeater to shoot in a three-stage way and using a primitive musket is that the repeater does not need to be continuously loaded with arrows, although its range is slightly shorter, its continuous fire strike can make up for the defect of too short range, while the three-stage shooting method with the original musket requires a change of ammunition after one shot, and it cannot be used in rainy days.

The enemy's reinforcements suffered too heavy casualties, the enemy cavalry at the front had rushed to Qin Dong twenty meters in front of him, but he still couldn't rush to the front, these twenty meters were like a chasm of death, Qin Dong held his saber and his face did not change, but the crossbow cavalry behind him were a little pale, this crossbow cavalry was just trained, all of them were made up of Han people, this was the first time to participate in the big war, in the face of such a close range of Hun cavalry, it was false to say that he was not afraid, but he saw Qin Dong sitting firmly on horseback motionless, They gradually calmed down and kept firing at the enemy troops rushing at the opposite side.

Qin Dong shouted again: "The fifth row, at a forty-five degree angle, shoot-"

The last platoon of crossbowmen began to shoot, and this platoon, because it was fired at the farthest angle of forty-five degrees, the follow-up shock force of the enemy cavalry was again weakened.

The enemy cavalry rushing on the opposite side completely lost the confidence to continue the charge after a large number of casualties, and the cavalry in the rear began to slow down their horses, and even began to turn their horses' heads and withdraw from here.

At this moment, an enemy general on horseback quickly ran from behind the military formation to Qin Dong, and he was followed by Tolong and some cavalry, the enemy general did not have any weapons, he stopped beside Qin Dong and cried: "Master Wanfu, please give the order to stop, I will let them surrender, I will let them surrender immediately, don't die again, please order to stop shooting, please!" ”

Qin Dong turned his head to look, but he didn't know the guy who knelt down from the horse, and Tuolong, who followed up, saluted Qin Dong and said, "My lord, this is Mordo!" ”

Qin Dong looked at Moldo, and saw that he was in tears, not like pretending, so he raised his hand and said, "All stop shooting!" ”

At this time, there was no one on the opposite side of the cavalry to charge this side anymore, and now the order to stop shooting would not let their side suffer losses, with Qin Dong's order to stop archery, the battle was over, and then under the order of the surrendered Mordo, all the cavalry under his command that was still alive surrendered to Qin Dong.
