"Captain Yu Fu, there are party nobles presiding over his affairs, and those who come are not good. Kang Ke Khotan immediately stepped forward, he was still very familiar with the Xiazhou Party Iron Harrier, and at present, the Party had not yet established the country, and he did not integrate all the tribal heavy cavalry into a powerful cavalry army as Cai Yuanhao did in later generations. Now the so-called iron harrier, in fact, refers to the noble warriors in the Xiazhou party and the Xianbei clan, in order to increase the chance of surviving on the battlefield, the aristocratic warriors often wear ancestral full-body armor when they go into battle. These men were often the sons of the chiefs, who had been trained in martial arts since childhood, and each would have land, cattle, sheep, and slaves of various sizes in the future, and when they grew up to be warriors, they represented the allegiance and submission of the various tribes, and attached themselves to different chiefs. Because these armored cavalry are extremely powerful, over time, the prestige of the Xiazhou Iron Harrier has spread, and how powerful a party nobleman is, just look at how many iron harriers he follows, it is clear at a glance. There are hundreds of iron harriers in this group, representing the submission of dozens or even hundreds of tribes to the leaders of the party and nobles, which shows that the prestige is extremely high and the power is not small.

"The enemy has iron harriers to counter our hussars, but it is difficult to do. Yu Furen also tightened his brows, he came from a muddy background, and he was quite clear about the weaknesses of the steppe cavalry, one was afraid of the strict and thick infantry formation, and the other was afraid of the heavy cavalry dispersal, and at the moment his own infantry was only five hundred, and he could not form a deep enough infantry formation, and the hussars were suppressed by the iron harriers, and could not disperse the enemy's light cavalry.

The Iron Harrier stopped on the way to the hussar camp was no more than a hundred horsemen, but it had the momentum of being like Mount Tai pressing the top, and the retreating tribal cavalry saw that the reinforcements had come and turned back to kill under the leadership of the leader, squeezing the formation of the hussar camp from both sides, forcing them to meet the Iron Harrier head-on.

Looking at the dark and heavy iron cavalry in front of him rushing with a riding lance, the heavy sound of horses' hooves represented an unstoppable momentum, Xin Gu scolded in his heart, how can the tribes of the grassland be equipped with expensive armored horses, a pair of people and horses with nearly 100 armor in their bodies, it is not at all something that the grassland tribes that even rely on robbing iron pots can afford. Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, the brave one won when the two armies met, Xin Gu rode forward, brandished the heavy mace in his hand, and when the two horses were staggered, the sound of "dang" hit the head of an iron harrier, but the cavalryman's legs were still firmly tied to the body of the horse, although he saw that the neck was broken, and the head hung down softly, the healthy horse rushed past Xin Gu with the dead knight, and several hussars staggered behind him.

The way of horse warfare, speed is the life of the cavalry, the two constantly urging the horse cavalry each wielded the iron lance, at the maximum speed of the collision together, the Lanzhou hussars and the iron harrier are well-trained, the battle when the two armies meet is also particularly cruel, when the two horses are staggered, the iron lance straight into the chest of a knight, the winner immediately abandoned the lance and drew a knife to protect himself, and some have not yet pulled out the knife, they were stabbed to death by the second wave of knights of the other party. Once you are lucky and dodge the opponent's blade, you will not only not survive, but also lose your life in vain, even if the blade is head-on, the iron lance is the chest, you must not avoid it, but you must try to make your own blade stab the opponent at the same time. The sword was almost useless against heavy cavalry at such speeds, especially for the Iron Harrier, who was covered with iron armor all over his body, and even had guards on both sides of his neck, and the standard horizontal knife of the hussar battalion was only a bunch of sparks and a few scratches, and the hussars wearing only cuirass had to suffer a great loss.

The two armies intersected, but after a few breaths, Xin Gu looked back and saw that there were only more than sixty hussars left, and the number of iron harriers gathered together did not seem to have decreased, after all, it was too rare to be as brave as Xin Gu, and the perverted armor of the iron harriers really made the Lanzhou hussars suffer a big loss.

The heavy cavalry duel just now made the tribal cavalry who had never seen such a bloody slashing a little shocked, and for a while they had not come back to their senses to besiege, Xin Gu pondered, there were also armored cavalry in Daliao, known as the Tielin Army, he had seen the leather room army exercises when he was in Khitan, and the army that drove out the enemy on the flank of the Tielin Army must have heavy foot soldiers, not just light cavalry, because the cavalry is good at attacking but not good at defending, only the foot soldiers can form an impenetrable strong formation, squeeze the enemy army to the front, and let the Tielin Army trample it. Although the hussar battalion was armoured, it was far lighter than the Iron Harrier and turned nimbly. Thinking of this, Xingu turned his horse's head and led the hussars to charge diagonally towards the tribal cavalry on the side of the Iron Harrier.

This momentum was like a sharp blade splitting into the tribal cavalry formation on the side, and the murderous hussar iron lance stabbed, slashed with a horizontal knife, the armor was thin, and the tribal cavalry who was not good at such a fierce battle suddenly suffered a big loss, seeing that the iron harrier was turning the horse's head around the big bend, Xingu shouted, brandished a mace, smashed a tribal cavalry who had no time to escape, and led the hussar battalion to change the direction of the sprint again. Then the iron harrier who followed closely also unceremoniously slashed the rout army that was blocking the iron cavalry with his spear and scimitar, and the tribal cavalry that stood in front of him hurriedly dodged to both sides, lest they suffer losses.

Taking advantage of the shortcomings of the iron harrier's strong momentum and inconvenient steering, Xingu led the Lanzhou hussars to constantly change direction, rushing back and forth in the enemy cavalry, and finally penetrated the enemy formation, and the war horse under his crotch was already sweating. After going around in a big circle, returning to his own formation, Xingu looked at the knight behind him, and there were less than forty left, which was a big loss. Without the presence of the Iron Harriers, the hussar battalion would have been able to maintain their speed and quickly penetrate the enemy ranks, and with very few casualties, the tribal cavalry would have been scattered. But the constant change of direction also slowed down the hussar battalion itself. But this iron harrier completely disrupted Xingu's plan, although it never caught up with the hussar battalion, but always maintained a deterrence, suppressed the momentum of the hussar battalion, so that the surrounding tribal cavalry had the courage to pounce on the flanks and rear guards of the hussar battalion like wolves, so that the Lanzhou hussars also suffered a lot of losses.

Xin Gu was groaning, suddenly saw the enemy's cavalry group out of tricks, the tribal cavalry was divided into dozens of teams, far away around the convoy of the Lanzhou caravan to release arrows, because they were worried about the goods on the car, they did not release the rockets, Rao is so, the convoy defense circle has been raining arrows, soldiers and merchants have to hide under the car, Lanzhou cavalry forced the horse to lie on the ground, set up a big shield to block the arrows.

This situation was different from the previous one, because the tribal cavalry did not intend to storm the chariot formation, so the running formation was extremely sparse and irregular, and it was difficult for the infantry archers to concentrate and aim, and the few foot soldiers who leaned out to reflect the cavalry were often taken care of as targets by the opponent's sharpshooters.

For a time, the arrow feathers in the sky with a strong wind continued to fall on the board of the Lanzhou caravan, on the shield, on the cargo package, although the people and horses in Lanzhou were sheltered, the loss was not large, when the ears heard the sound of "Bangbang" arrows constantly inserting into the plank, the Lanzhou soldiers could only hide under the cart and shield, and they could not counterattack, and everyone was under great pressure.

"Captain Yu Fu, today I am only afraid of more evil and less auspicious. Why don't we wait for us to hand over the goods and let these barbarians leave?" Kang Ke Khotan watched the horse caravan running back and forth outside the car formation, which was also the usual practice of westbound caravans, and most of the tribes only needed goods to save their lives.

Yu Fu Renliang looked at Xin Gu's calm eyes and Kang Ke Khotan's face was flushed, his face was heavy, he was also an old soldier, at the moment his own cavalry was only three hundred, five hundred foot soldiers, nearly a thousand coachmen and merchants under Kang Khotan were useless, but they were surrounded by four or five thousand cavalry, if all of them were rabble, it would be easy to say, but I didn't expect that there were Xiazhou Iron Harriers as support in the enemy camp, Yu Fu Renliang thought in his heart, even if the eight hundred Yang family cavalry are here, I am afraid it will not be saved. However, the commander had high hopes and handed over the goods, and his position in the Lanzhou army was so easy to have, and he was afraid that he would not plummet, and the name of a coward could no longer be washed away. Looking at the enemy cavalry who were constantly galloping and shooting arrows outside the car array, Yu Furen's face was hideous, he took a long breath, and said in a deep voice: "Captain Xin, the last general is willing to fight to the death with the enemy cavalry!"

Xin Gu closed his eyes slightly, and Wu Yingying's words of advice when he left sounded in his ears again: "Captain Xin, these eight hundred sons are all the seeds of my Lanzhou army, the goods are lost, it doesn't matter if the money can be earned again, if the brothers lose it, they will never be able to stand up again, it is the biggest loss for my Lanzhou." If the thieves are strong and outnumbered, they would rather give up the goods and ensure the safe return of the brothers. Thinking of this, Xin Gu's heart couldn't help but tremble, and he opened his eyes suddenly.
