Yang Yinuan also didn't know where Gao Xin got this catapult from.

It's bulky, but it's really good.

Especially now, when Gaoxin still occupies a certain geographical advantage.

He hid his catapult troops on the back of a small dirt slope and launched a projectile attack on the Thousand Mountains Army.

Although the accuracy was not good, the stone bullet the size of a watermelon also brought a lot of losses to the Qianshan Army.

The soldiers of the forward battalion, in the whistle of the commander, lined up in a neat phalanx, slowly moving forward.

And the watermelon-sized stone bullet kept whistling over their heads.

Some will fly directly overhead, while others will crash directly into the formation, smashing the soldiers to pieces.

Although the soldiers of the Thousand Mountains Army wore steel armor, those steel pieces could still have a certain protective effect against swords, guns and arrows.

But if you come across these tumbling and jumping stone bullets, you will be blind.

If you hit your upper body, you will burp on the spot, and if you hit your lower body, you will break your bones and tendons on the spot.

However, Gao Xin, who was standing on the dirt slope, was surprised to find that even with his bomb throwing troops, the density of the bombs could be described as raining down bullets.

But the Qianshan Army on the opposite side did not panic and was still slowly moving forward.

Even standing on the dirt slope, he could hear the uniform drumbeats and whistles coming from the opposing phalanx.

Gao Xin's eyes widened, what kind of army is this, aren't they afraid of death?

And at this moment, in the center of the battlefield, the cavalry of the two armies also collided together.

On one side were fast cavalrymen on tall horses, and on the other were slower cavalrymen on iron-skinned horses.

The two streams of iron collided fiercely in the middle of the battlefield, and at the moment of collision, the sound of gold and iron could be heard even from miles away.

Countless warriors, at this moment, fell from their horses.

There were also countless war horses that fell to the ground at this moment.

This is the first time they have met, and the two sides can be said to be on a par.

The weapons and protection of the Thousand Mountains Army are obviously more dominant.

And the iron horse of the Gao family army is better than the war horse of the Qianshan army.

Both sides interspersed and passed through, but neither rushed to the opposing infantry formation.

Because both sides are not stupid, they all know that the other party's cavalry formation is still intact, and at this time, charging into battle is to send them to death.

Therefore, they all turned their horses' heads, intending to knock out the opponent's cavalry first.

Only this time, the cavalry of the Qianshan Army took the lead in adjusting their tactics.

They calculated, the distance from the opposing cavalry, and then the officers at the grassroots level, quickly made contact with a whistle.

After that, he relied on various whistles of different lengths and shouts to readjust the formation.

Soon, the cavalry formation of the Qianshan Army changed into a Yafeng formation, and rushed towards the cavalry array of the Gao Army.

But this time, when they were still fifty meters away from the other party, the cavalry of the Thousand Mountains Army neatly took out their crossbows from the saddlebags on their horses' necks.

Many cavalrymen, with crossbows in their hands, pulled the trigger and released crossbow arrows when they were still thirty meters away from the opponent.

Rows of dense arrows rained down in such a short distance.

The cavalry of the Gao family army was defenseless at all, and originally thought that the other party was rushing over and fighting hard.

But who would have thought that the other party would use spindle tactics again?

After the front row of cavalry fired crossbow arrows, they quickly pulled the reins and the horse's head was deflected.

Their cavalry was in front of the queue of the cavalry of the Gao family's army, drawing an arc.

Dozens of them were taken away, and in addition to the lives of the cavalry of the Gao family's army, they were unscathed.

This may seem like a simple operation, but it is actually very difficult.

Because the first row of cavalry should pass in front of the opponent's cavalry line, and the cavalry behind should also maintain the corresponding formation and queue.

This requires the rider to have a very good sense of distance, which takes a lot of training to develop.

The cavalry of the Qianshan Army crossed two perfect arcs in front of the cavalry of the Gao Family Army, and divided into two sides and slid in front of the cavalry of the Gao Family Army.

He harvested hundreds of lives on the other side at one time, but he was unscathed, which greatly hurt the morale of the Gao family's army.

The generals who led the army were even more furious when they saw such a picture.

Standing on their horses, they turned around and yelled to cheer up the soldiers.

Then, as soon as he pulled the reins, he took the lead and chased after the cavalry of the Thousand Mountains Army.

And then, a scene that made Gao Xin's heart break appeared.

The strange soldiers of the Thousand Mountains Army, who were originally running in front, sounded a strange horn in the camp.

Then I saw this group of cavalrymen, who suddenly drew their compound bows from their saddlebags.

Their cavalry, with their legs clamped between the belly of their horses, then turned their upper bodies back, drew their bows and arrows, and shot a rain of arrows behind them.

This round of arrow rain made the Gao Jiajun, who was chasing after him, suffer a big loss.

This move is also the best skill of the Mongolian cavalry that swept across the Eurasian continent on the Blue Star back then.

The principle is to send a small squad of cavalry to tease and harass the opponent's cavalry.

provoked the opposing cavalry to pursue, and then their own cavalry fled on horseback.

When the opposing cavalry pursues them into their range, these Mongolian cavalry will shoot back arrows.

This is actually a tactic that uses simple physics principles to break the opponent's armor.

At that time, the European cavalry liked to wear heavy armor, and it was difficult to break the armor if it was fought head-on.

So the Mongol cavalry invented this tactic, their horses running forward as if they were looking behind them and shooting arrows.

But at the same time, the opposing cavalry is indeed charging forward, and if it encounters a rain of arrows, it is equivalent to adding two forces to the arrows.

If you use an armor-piercing heavy arrow, the effect is often quite good.

The cavalry of the other side will basically suffer heavy casualties in one round.

This time, the cavalry of the Gao family army followed their path.

In particular, most of the cavalry of the Qianshan Army were equipped with compound bows, which not only had a long range, but also had a stronger shooting force.

What's even more terrifying is that the arrows they are equipped with are still armor-piercing arrows specially brought by Gao Yunong.

The high-carbon steel used is extremely hard, even if the cavalry of the Gao family army wears iron armor, it is useless in the face of such arrows.

In a rain of arrows, most of them were shot down.

The generals who took the lead in the charge in front were shot directly off their horses.

The general who led the team died, and he lost so many people, which made the Gao family army a little chaotic.

For a while, the will to fight of many cavalrymen began to waver.

At this moment, the Qianshan army in front actually turned the horse's head and killed it again......

This time, far away, they shot a rain of arrows......
