The invincible Mongol cavalry was known for its well-trained, disciplined, and tactical flexibility. Their cavalry units tended to consist of a heavy cavalry column for the assault and two mobile and agile archers.

The two cooperated with each other and flexibly adopted different tactics according to the battlefield situation, and their combat effectiveness was once the best in the world.

The Ming Dynasty was able to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty and drive the Mongols back to the steppe, and the combat effectiveness of the cavalry was naturally not inferior to that of the other party. In particular, the most elite Yulinwei has long been proficient in the various tactics of the Mongolian cavalry.

Now they are using the 'Mangugu' tactics that the Mongol archers are very good at. That is, the mounted archer shoots arrows at the enemy in the rear while fleeing.

The essence of this tactic is to attack the enemy from a long distance; Constant attacks on the enemy; Don't give the enemy a chance to fight back!

No matter how strong the enemy's spirit and armor are under such an attack, it is only a matter of time before they completely collapse.

Therefore, the Ming army also called this tactic 'kite flying'.

The Maitreya disciples in front of him are basically infantry, and only a few dozen horsemen around the sect leader are negligible. Their two legs can't catch up with the four-legged cavalry at all, and even if they are not afraid of death, they can only be used as arrow targets.

So under the leadership of His Royal Highness the King of Jin and His Royal Highness the sullen King Yan, the Yulin cavalry divided into two teams and swept past their left and right flanks when the Maitreya army was about to rush closer.

After opening up the distance of an arrow, the Yulin soldiers opened their bows and arrows, but did not directly aim at the enemy soldiers, but the arrows were thrown into the sky. The essence of this kind of shooting is a salvo, a hail of arrows falling from the sky, and the effect of striking the enemy troops gathered together is excellent.

But lethality is not the main purpose, the purpose is to cause confusion among the enemy forces.

After three rounds of projectiles, the Maitreya disciples were already in a mess like headless flies.

King Qin, who had long been unable to hold back, immediately took advantage of the situation to charge.

How can the messy Maitreya army resist these heavily ridden men wielding maces?

If you knock the medicine, you are not afraid of death......

Under the mace of a hundred heavy cavalry, there was no enemy; Rushing left and right, like entering a no-man's land!

At this time, the archers on both flanks, under the cover of smoke and dust, outflanked the enemy's flanks and behind, and formed an encirclement with the heavy cavalry.

"Four hundred surround three thousand......" Maitreya Sect Leader looked stupid, he never expected that the Ming army would be able to counter-encircle his troops at such a point.

This combat power is too outrageous, right?

As everyone knows, the Yulin cavalry is the strongest elite in the strongest Ming army in the world, and under the leadership of the three highnesses who will descend to the stars, they are naturally even more powerful, bursting out with twelve points of combat effectiveness.

To the rabble of Maitreya, it is like a pack of wolves surrounding a flock of sheep, what about the huge disparity in numbers? It's still a one-sided slaughter.

But Maitreya disciples are much stronger than the flock, they are not afraid of death! No matter how big the losses were, they still screamed and charged. Shot to the ground and crawling forward......

However, when they finally rushed to the front of the Ming army after great sacrifices, a whistle sounded, and Yu Linwei turned his horse's head again, widened the distance, and greeted them with bows and arrows.

In this way, three rounds of kites were flown in this way, and the Maitreya cultists, who had been killed and wounded, finally collapsed. Many of the believers who had regained their senses began to abandon their weapons and flee.

Yu Linwei's little strength has no ability to stop them at all, and he has no interest in stopping them, so he only concentrates on dealing with the stubborn ones.

Seeing this, and the cavalry troops had not returned for a long time, the Maitreya sect leader knew that the general trend had gone.

He didn't think of sacrificing his religion. In fact, the Daomen Society, which has survived until now and has not been wiped out, regards 'leaving the green mountains and not worrying about running out of firewood' as a golden rule.

"Let's go!" He shouted, and then surrounded by more than a dozen cavalry soldiers, ran in the direction of Shanxi. There, is the nest of Maitreya.

"Want to go? Did the king agree? Zhu Di had already been eyeing him, and when he saw this, he sneered, thrust the curled Daguan knife into the ground, and took the hard bow offered by his subordinates.

The bow was like a full moon, and the eagle arrow was aimed at the back of the Maitreya sect leader.

Then His Royal Highness King Yan shot out without hesitation!

At the sound of the bowstring, the Maitreya Sect Master was hit by an arrow in the back and fell off his horse in response......

"The Sect Master is dead!"

"The Sect Master is dead!" This scene had a great shock to the Maitreya followers. Even the sect leader who claimed to be Maitreya descended, invulnerable, and powerful in mana was shot to death, how could they still defeat the Ming army?

So they threw down their weapons and fled......

The Yulin guards no longer pursued and killed, and hurriedly looked for their comrades who were injured and fell off their horses, preparing to retreat.

The enemy cavalry could come back at any moment, and now that they had run out of arrows and horses were reaching their limits, the casualties would skyrocket if they fought again.

When the search and rescue was completed by the hundreds of households, King Jin shouted: "Go!" ”

Yu Linwei immediately rode his horse south, heading towards the Qishui River ten miles away.

Sure enough, halfway through, I saw smoke and dust rising from the east, and a large group of cavalry rushed straight forward.

"They're back, let's go!" Zhu frowned and said: "They have been going back and forth for most of the day, and the horses are also at the end of the crossbow." Let's just move forward and drag them to death! ”

However, he didn't go far, and the scout who opened the road in front of him responded in a panic: "In the direction of the Qishui River, a large group of cavalry is coming across the river!" ”

"How many?" Zhu Di asked in a deep voice.

"Say three or four thousand ......," the scout said with difficulty.

Yu Linwei's atmosphere froze.

The brothers looked at each other in disbelief.

"Where are so many cavalry?" The third child, who has always been calm and composed, finally showed a depressed look. "We're not done if we don't play to death, are we?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Zhu Di snorted and said, "You lead the second brother and the fifth brother to the west, and it will be safe to enter Taihang Mountain." ”

"What about you?" The third asked.

"I'll bring someone to stop them." Zhu Di said lightly, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing.

"That's not going to work, I'm definitely not going to give you this chance." The third strong, who was going to be strong, stopped doing it. "Take your brothers with you, I'll hold them back!"

"Shut up!" The second child also said angrily: "I, I am my brother, I will stay!" ”

"I'm the most useless, I'll stay......" Even the fifth child, who has never had a sense of existence, spoke.

"Shut up, there's no point in your talk!" but caused the brothers to reprimand in unison.

Just when the brothers were arguing over who to break off, the second team of scouts galloped in again, but this time their faces were beaming with joy and shouted:

"Your Highness, there is a false alarm, it is the reinforcements that have arrived!"

"Where's the reinforcements?" The brothers were relieved at first, and then became nervous again. After Boss Zhu's tempering in the past few years, they already have the most basic vigilance, knowing that the current situation is complicated and they can't trust anyone.

"It's His Royal Highness the King of Chu in person!" The scout replied hurriedly.

"What, the sixth is here?" The elder brother was overjoyed: "Is that really the case?" ”

"It's true!" The scout pointed ahead and said, "Oh, Your Highness has come down!" ”
