Mo Lingjun had never considered letting his cavalry run all the way, and of course, the cavalry of the Changying Army didn't need to gallop too far, after all, the woods not far away were where the spare war horses were.

As for the wild run in just two or three miles, although it will lead to an increase in the loss and loss of the war horse, compared to the results of the battle, this is completely bearable.

As for increasing the speed, it was just that Mo Lingjun wanted to consume the physical strength of the Lu Long Army's war horses, and by the way, give the cavalry more time to prepare and adjust.

After all, it was not three or two people around him, but a small two thousand cavalry, Rao is Changying's army was strictly disciplined, organized and disciplined, and it was impossible to complete a series of complex tactical actions such as target locking, changing horses, changing clothes, and forming a team in a short time.

It's just that Mo Lingjun didn't expect that Lu Longjun would cooperate with him so much, and after chasing for a short time, he took the initiative to reduce his speed, so that Lu Longjun, who had been chasing for more than 30 miles, disappeared in front of his eyes.

This wave of Lu Longjun's operation gave Mo Lingjun an unexpected surprise, since Lu Longjun reduced his speed, Mo Lingjun also ordered the Changying Army in the frenzy to reduce its speed slightly, and restore the formation and order as much as possible in a company.

The personnel who stayed near the woods to guard the horses had already completed a series of preparations such as feeding the horses and equipping them.

Soon, in the process of the whole team, quickly moving towards the predetermined direction, the cavalry of the Changying Army came to the periphery of the woods, and quickly completed the precise docking with the remaining personnel in a company, and all the cavalry directly threw the war horses in place and ran directly to the war horses they were familiar with.

At the same time, because of the slow follow-up of Lu Longjun, Mo Lingjun added an unplanned order - heavy cavalry armor!

The name is heavy cavalry, but in fact, the heavy cavalry in the cavalry of the Changying Army is actually divided into two categories, the mounted cavalry and the Xuanjia cavalry, although they both belong to the heavy cavalry, but the mounted cavalry and the Xuanjia cavalry are completely different from equipment to function.

Mounted cavalry originated in the Han Dynasty, flourished in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and was still one of the core forces of the cavalry in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

The armored cavalry that has realized the full protection from people to horses, its defense and attack power have almost reached the peak of the cold weapon era, but the existence of iron cans does provide unparalleled defense, but the excessive weight also makes the flexibility, mobility, and endurance of the mounted cavalry greatly reduced.

】

The Xuanjia cavalry is a new type of cavalry created by Li Yuan and Li Shimin based on the armored cavalry, learning the advantages of the Turkic cavalry.

The iconic armor of the Xuanjia cavalry is essentially based on the Mingguang armor, and after being cut and improved, it fits the armor stomach of the Xuanjia soldiers.

Compared with the Mingguang armor used by heavy infantry, the Xuanjia removes a large number of parts, and only retains the shoulders, chest, back, arms, waist, knees and other parts, on the basis of minimizing the weight, to achieve key protection against the deadly and weak parts of the human body.

Although it is inferior to heavy infantry and mounted cavalry in terms of protection, the mobility and endurance of the Xuanjia cavalry are incomparable to the first two, and they are unmatched in long-distance assault and long-distance mobility.

Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the main mounted cavalry of the charging array, the Xuanjia cavalry of the Tang Dynasty who are good at assault, and the super-powerful light cavalry equipped with light armor and the main weapon of bow and crossbow have formed the cavalry system of the current Changying Army

In the previous raid battle, in order to maximize the mobility of the cavalry under his command, although the heavy cavalry carried long soldiers, they were only equipped with light armor, so they would show the appearance of full light cavalry.

With the issuance of Mo Lingjun's supplementary order, the mounted cavalry and Xuanjia cavalry attached to each battalion quickly rushed to the spare horses with horse armor and heavy armor, and took off the equipment and armor.

The other cavalry around took the horses and heavy armor from these heavy cavalrymen, and put on the armor of the horses and the cavalry.

Without any external interference, the organization, discipline, and training of the Changying Army over a long period of time have been brought into play at the highest level.

From the time they arrived at the assembly point next to the woods, in less than a hundred breaths, nearly two thousand cavalry of the Changying Army had completed the replacement of their horses.

At the same time, the two hundred and forty mounted cavalrymen belonging to the three cavalry battalions had also been put on and hung up, holding horse lances and heavy cavalry, and they were all majestic, and even the war horses covered by black and brown vests and leaving only two eyes had a thick layer of murderous aura.

When the two thousand Changying Army had completed all the preparations, with a smile and unhurried, Lu Longjun, who was ready to pick up the bargain, slowly appeared in Mo Lingjun's field of vision.

Now the cavalry of the Lu Dragon Army, who was always resolute and serious, put on a rare and strange-looking smile.

To be honest, it has been five years since Zhenyuan was appointed by the eldest princess of Yan to follow Guo Rong into Chang'an in the twenty-first year of Zhenyuan.

Within five years, he followed Guo Rong to fight in the south and the north, from Chang'an to Longxi, and from Shandong to Mobei...... After nearly 100 battles, Mo Lingjun found that this was the first time that an enemy had been so obedient to his wishes, allowing him to adjust, distribute, and lay out so calmly.

So much so that when the enemy appeared, Mo Lingjun suddenly found that he seemed to have nothing left to do except give the order to attack.

After shaking his head lightly and smiling self-deprecatingly, Mo Lingjun shouted at the herald beside him.

"The heavy cavalry formed a formation and advanced in the middle, the left flank of the first battalion, the right flank of the second battalion, the third battalion of light armor and light armor, and the two wings outflanked and blocked the periphery! You can't let an enemy go! ”

With the transmission of Mo Lingjun's order, the cavalry, which was originally in a static state, quickly became active.

The two hundred and forty mounted cavalry in the center slowly increased their speed while forming a formation.

On the left and right flanks of the heavy cavalry, 300 men in armor, armed with spears and spears, advanced from both flanks.

Further out, about 200 lightly armed and lightly armored light cavalry on the left and right flanks, carrying only bows and crossbows and sabers, were frantically advancing towards the flank and rear of Lu Long's army regardless of it.

After chasing the Changying army all the way, from fleeing to charging, this 180-degree turn obviously surprised the Lu Longjun who had just arrived.

At the first moment, they felt excitement, and many people even subconsciously urged the war horse to move forward.

After all, after being pursued all the way and desperately consuming the physical strength of the war horse, the Changying army on the opposite side should have become lambs to be slaughtered, fat on the eucalyptus board, and the so-called charge is just the last struggle before death.

However, in just a few breaths, as the distance between the two sides was narrowed, the smiles on the faces of these belated pursuers froze, and then the frozen expressions turned into surprise and fear, because the speed of the other party did not look like the performance of physical exhaustion from anywhere.

What's even more terrifying is that not only did you see two rows of mounted cavalry cavalry with heavy armor and heavy armor, holding a horse lance, and even the war horse was covered with horse armor!

I also saw rows of Xuanjia cavalry wearing black armor and holding various long soldiers, who were advancing at high speed!

After seeing the appearance and equipment of the heavy cavalry that appeared in front of him, two exclamations with infinite fear came from Lu Longjun.

"Xuanjia Army!"

"Mounted cavalry!"

Ordinary Qiu Ba may not understand the classification of cavalry, but how can these guys in Lu Long's army who also rely on war horses for food not understand.

There are also mounted cavalry in the Lu Long Army, and the number is not a few, at least the proportion in the cavalry is higher than that of the Changying Army, but the mounted cavalry is really not suitable for pursuit warfare......

It was precisely because of this understanding that the pursuing Lu Long Army cavalry felt shock!

Not long ago, they were still the pursuing side, and the Changying army, which was the wolf rush of the pursued side, was obviously exhausted, and had neither the ability to parry nor the strength to fight back, and it seemed to them that it was even on the verge of collapse.

After the sudden acceleration, the pursued Changying Army did get out of their field of vision for a short time, but that was only for a long time!

A hundred breaths?

Two hundred breaths?

You must know that even Yuan Zhen, an iron-blooded true hero, can hold on to at least two hundred and forty breaths, what is this time enough for?

The problem is that in such a short period of time, the opposite side is not only full of blood, but also has changed its outfits, and even the Xuanjia cavalry and equipped cavalry have been brought out, and the attack and defense have changed hands directly!

Is this TM alive and?

What's even worse is that looking at the other party's layered and well-organized fan, the other party is obviously ready to swallow himself in one bite!

Looking at the murderous heavy cavalry, looking at the other party's heavy cavalry in the hands of the opponent's snow in the sun, dazzling horse lances, spears, and spears, the blood of the soldiers of the Lu Long Army, who understood their situation, was cold.

Without waiting for an order, without waiting for a command, the smartest of these men turned their horses, turned around, and began to gallop backwards.

In the face of a crisis, not everyone has the ability to make independent judgments, but the vast majority of people who think that they are not expensive and smart will generally choose to follow the actions of people who are smarter than themselves.

After the first dozen or so people turned the dock and charged back, in less than ten breaths, the remnants of more than 2,000 dragon army cavalry, without any orders and no one to command, all completed a breathtaking 180-degree turn.

Seeing this scene, after giving the order, Mo Ling, who was idle in the back, was dumbfounded.

To be able to complete this kind of in-situ turn, the premise is that the overall speed of the opponent's horse is not fast and the formation is not tight, which requires enough U-turn space in the middle of the queue and a very high degree of tacit understanding between the entire cavalry.

Being able to complete such a drastic adjustment in just a dozen seconds, I have to say that the performance of the Lu Long Army's cavalry really exceeded Mo Lingjun's expectations.

It's just that admiration is admiration, appreciation is appreciation, Rao is Lu Longjun has achieved the ultimate of ordinary Tang Army cavalry, and he can't get rid of the fate of being destroyed today.

With a smile of pride mixed with sobriety, Mo Lingjun said faintly.

"The quality is good, the reaction is not slow, it is indeed an elite soldier, but even if it is an elite, what can it be, and now I think that it is too late to escape."

The battle between the cavalry relies on the bravery, combat skills, and equipment of the cavalry itself, and it also needs to look at the state of the war horse.

If from the beginning, the cavalry of the Lu Long Army can maintain a stable mentality and follow up at a uniform speed, although they will be tired after thirty miles, they will not consume the physical strength of the war horse to the limit, and at the same time, they can at least maintain eighty percent of the combat strength and the number of people who are basically full.

In that case, Lu Longjun had the strength and ability to dare to hedge against the Changying Army, who had been resurrected with full blood after changing horses, instead of turning around and running away after seeing the Changying Army charge.

Mo Lingjun's arrogance is justified, even if the 3,000 Lu Long Army is at its peak, he believes that the 2,000 cavalry of the Changying Army with 2,000 full state, full formation, and system can still win the battle, and Mo Lingjun has enough self-confidence.

The happiness in Mo Lingjun's eyes was also not fake, because he understood that sentence in an instant, those who are good at fighting have no outstanding achievements, after all, being able to fight and win does not necessarily have to be hard to the death.

Mo Lingjun can feel it here, but Lu Longjun doesn't have this mind, as Lu Longjun completed the reverse charge, a large-scale cavalry battle that should have happened turned into a large-scale cavalry chase again, but the pursuing side changed from Lu Longjun to Mo Lingjun's Changying Army.

Some things are feng shui in turn, half an hour ago, the pursuing Lu Longjun was still laughing at the Changying army who had fled in the wilderness, but at this moment, it was them who fled in the wilderness.

In the face of the fierce and relentless pursuit of the Changying army, in order to flee for their lives, they used horsewhips, spurs and even short knives......

With all their might, they had left behind the Xuanjia soldiers and the bulky mounted cavalry, and they could even barely compete in speed with the outflanked light cavalry of the Long Silk Army.

However, as time continued and the distance increased, they found that no matter how they used to stimulate the war horse, it was difficult to increase their speed again, because the little physical strength left by the war horse had gradually been exhausted!

A sudden drop in speed followed, and the light cavalry at both ends of the battlefield began to advance at a blistering speed, ignoring the exhausted Lu Long's army, passing through their flanks.

Of course, ignoring it is not absolute, there are some guys who are very skilled in riding and archery, such as Wang Zheng, a sharpshooter who leads the left flank forward.

In the past, Wang Zheng, who followed Guo Rong from the grassland to Chang'an, faced the plundering Tubo cavalry for the first time on the road, and created a miracle of firing sixteen arrows in a row, and the arrows killed him.

Wang Zheng, who is now twenty-one years old, will no longer recklessly overdraw his physical strength as he did back then, but it does not mean that Wang Zheng's threat has decreased.

On the contrary, after 5 years of campaigning, Wang Zheng has become the premier light cavalry commander under Mo Lingjun, both his vision and judgment are far above the level, and Wang Zheng's proud archery and cavalry archery have reached the point of being superb.

While rushing forward, while observing the retreating cavalry of the Lu Long Army, Wang Zheng, who quickly found the target, took out his two-stone strong bow and began to draw arrows.
