Li Jin's fears soon became a reality, and after a one-time exchange with the Hun cavalry on the fourth day of entering the Xiongnu steppe, more Hun warriors galloped towards the location of the Thunder Cavalry.

The endurance and weight-bearing capacity of the Xiqiang war horse are quite excellent, but the degree is inferior to the Hun war horse a lot, and the Hun cavalry can be roughly classified as light cavalry, which is similar to the flying wing battalion riding the Wuhuan war horse. Under such circumstances, it was already delusional for the Thunder Rider to completely shake off his opponent, and although Li Jin and the others were very careful, the battle along the way was almost uninterrupted.

The Huns were born cavalry, there were only warriors fighting on horseback on the grassland, and there was no pure infantry, coupled with their familiarity with the terrain, the home battle had sufficient logistical support, and the battle faced by the Thunder Cavalry became more and more difficult and severe.

On the fifth day, the Thunder Cavalry engaged the Hun cavalry four times with a small group (about 1,000 people), killing more than 300 people; More than 20 people were wounded on the Thunder Cavalry, and one cavalryman was dragged off his horse by his opponent and trampled to death by his horse. This is the first time that the Thunder Rider has been killed.

On the sixth day, the two sides fought seven times that day, and the enemy on both sides numbered more than 2,000 men, and killed more than 1,200 people; The continuous high-intensity combat made the energy and body of the Thunder Cavalry consume, and after the iron wall heavy armor continued to be forbidden to the opponent's attack, most of them were also damaged in different ways, and on that day, the Thunder Cavalry injured more than 300 people and killed 62 people!

Just after the end of the day's fighting, Li Jin made the decision to retreat.

On the prairie, the thunder cavalry has become the target of everyone, the encirclement of the Huns is getting tighter and tighter, judging from the situation in the past few days, more Huns are still coming in 6 consecutive years. The Thunder Riders were known as an invulnerable demon army, and their "heroic deeds" of massacring civilians on the steppe were vigorously publicized, and successfully aroused the anger of the Huns, who of different tribes and ethnic groups took action to eradicate these brutal invaders.

After fighting more than a dozen battles in just three days, the Thunder Cavalry had already exposed some problems during the battle, such as "poor coordination", "insufficient rigor in battle formations", "unskilled horse control technology (relative to the Huns)", and "lack of effective long-range strike means...... These problems were only exposed after the soldiers paid the price of blood, and the actual combat showed true knowledge.

Every tactical essential, every soldier, is a part of the war plane, and it affects the whole body. Some seemingly inconspicuous small problems are likely to be infinitely magnified on the battlefield, and in the end, the soldiers will pay the price with their lives!

One person's mistake can wipe out the entire team!

It takes time to digest these gains.

Under such circumstances, the plan of the Thunder Cavalry to train slowly could no longer be realized, and now Li Jin was faced with the problem of how to bring these soldiers back to the territory safely, and the Huns who hated the same enemy would not let them go back like this.

Li Jin only realized at this time how unwise it was for his soldiers to kill those Huns who had given up resistance. Although Thunder rode to the Hun steppe with the intention of killing, the great difference between killing warriors and civilians, and the possible consequences, was already revealed.

The difficult escape began.

Day 7.

Early in the morning, the warriors dragged their tired bodies and began another day's journey.

In view of the current special shape, the soldiers of the Thunder Rider could not remove their armor even while sleeping, even the wounded soldiers were no exception, and the only thing allowed to be taken off was the part of the war horse. Even the Xiqiang war horse, which is famous for its strong endurance, is unbearable to carry more than 200 catties (human and armor weight) all day long.

Many people were sleepy-eyed, many people were crying out for neck pain, and nearly half of the soldiers were wounded, but everyone understood that if they wanted to return to Longfei alive, they had to fight forward.

Whenever night fell and the troops went to a place to stay temporarily, Li Jin would point out to the soldiers the mistakes made in the battle during the day, so that these soldiers, who had finally stopped to rest, could reduce their mistakes the next day and let more people survive.

Take care of yourself, take care of your companions, follow the general's war horse, and crush all the enemies!

With such a belief, the Thunder Rider came out early in the morning.

Today's first battle was a Hun cavalry force of more than 5,000 men, and this force was obviously composed of several detachments, following the route of the Thunder Cavalry yesterday.

When the two armies met, they couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Li Jin didn't expect that there would be such a powerful force on his way back; The Huns were also surprised, according to the course of action of these "outsiders" a few days ago, the Huns roughly deduced their next destination, and mobilized more than 30,000 soldiers from several nearby units to form a perfect encirclement.

It was an unexpected encounter, both for the enemy and for both the enemy.

The way home has been blocked by these enemies, and if you want to go back, you must defeat them. Li Jin's style has always been more action and less language, and in the face of enemies five times his size, this Shanyang hero did not wrinkle his eyebrows, "Kill it!" ”

The Thunder Riders, regardless of their men and horses, were all in black armor, and the entire army was like a stream of iron. All the war horses stepped on neat nodes, and the degree was slow and fast, but they were always rushing forward at the same frequency, layer by layer. The suffocating sound of hooves and the sense of oppression were enough to make the timid faint directly, and there were already Hun cavalrymen with white faces!

The wounded cavalry were wrapped in the middle of the battle formation, but the casualty rate of nearly half of them forced some lightly wounded soldiers to stand on the front line. The troops of less than 1,000 people, the murderous spirit and fighting spirit that exuded, made the Hun soldiers not feel the sense of security brought by "many people".

"They may have seen through the ambush ahead, no matter what, we must intercept them!"

The Huns who led the team were the leaders of a small tribe, of which 3,000 were the warriors of the tribe, after hearing the leader's order, the 3,000 soldiers bravely rushed towards the thunder horse, and the remaining more than 2,000 Huns were not far behind, and the two torrents were from far and near.

The Huns' combat methods, except for some cavalry fighting sabers to decide the victory, are mostly based on guerrilla fighting, using accurate archery skills to continuously kill and injure the enemy, until the opponent is exhausted and unable to resist, and then close to the dead.

These Huns did not continue the ancient tactics that had been passed down for thousands of years, but only fired a few rounds of arrows in the process of rushing, and then collided head-on with the Thunder Horse. The reason for this is that they have heard that the Thunder Rider is not afraid of arrows at all, and only a powerful warrior with a saber in close combat can have a chance to break through the opponent's armor.

If it is changed to the complete state of the thunder cavalry, such a statement is indeed true, but now the iron wall armor of the thunder cavalry has been damaged in many places, and the Huns' rounds of arrow rain have constituted a certain amount of damage to the thunder cavalry.

The cavalry knew that if the Huns could solve the battle with their bows and arrows, then they would not only lose the opportunity to fight the enemy in close combat, but would also become a live target for thousands, or even tens of thousands! The archery of the Huns was as famous as their horsemanship.

Only in close combat, Thunder Rider has a chance!

Compared with the loose formation of the Huns (let's call it a formation), the Thunder Cavalry was arranged in an extremely compact formation that was easy to attack, and was able to swing an astonishing breaking force. This also made it so that when the two cavalry units completed the hedge, the cavalry troops of the Huns were like a can, and they were cut through the middle by the thunder horsemen.

Li Jin took the lead like a demon god, and no Hun could stop him in the slightest, even the famous warriors among the Huns, when three so-called "warriors" were whipped by Li Jin in succession, no one was willing to stop his edge. The Iron Whip is the target of the Thunder Cavalry's hundreds of heavy guns.

- Like the Winged Battalion, the Thunder Rider's long weapon is also a gun, a heavier gun with an increased weight, which can be used to wield more powerful destructive power when sprinting; In addition to heavy guns, the Thunderrider also has short weapons, machetes, and shields; As for the means of long-range strikes, the current Thunder Ride simply does not have them. According to Ah Niu's positioning of the Thunder Cavalry, this unit is a sharp weapon used to attack and break through the formation in the field, and at the same time, it can also be expected to play the role of a man who is invincible, and the deterrent power is so strong that it will rarely be used.

This time, the Huns were not only numerous, but also significantly stronger than the previous enemy, and did not give an inch when confronting the Thunder Cavalry until they killed the enemy or were killed. After a smashing battle that was several times more difficult than before, although Li Jin's troops still won the victory, leaving behind the corpses of more than a thousand Huns, the Thunder Cavalry also paid the price of more than 100 deaths!

The situation of the battle just now made the Hun warriors quite frightened, the Thunder Cavalry not only had excellent protective gear, but also the coordination of the cavalry in the overall battle, but also played an amazing effect, five thousand Huns tried their best, and did not block the journey of more than 900 Thunder Cavalry to break the formation.

Under the order of the leader, the scattered Huns regrouped and chased towards the Thunder Cavalry, and the pursuers were only pretending, barely running a few miles and then returning. The thunder rode back without chaos, and even some of the Huns were worried that if they pressed too hard, they would probably force the tiger to jump over the wall.

Li Jin didn't want to fight, he didn't know that the battle that had just ended was already the most difficult battle in the "first grassland training" of the Thunder Cavalry. Now what Li Jin thinks about is to return to the territory with his troops as much as possible, so as to digest the fruits of this trip to the grassland.
