Dong Zhuoman thought that most of his 20,000 cavalry were also from the Xiliang clan, and only a few were from Liaodong and Bingzhou. There is not much difference with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in terms of the source of troops, and it should be able to fight on a par with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.

Besides, the oncoming Xiliang Iron Cavalry was only 5,000 cavalry, which was a quarter of his troops, and there was no reason why he couldn't defeat it.

But he was wrong, as soon as Xiliang Tiecai charged, seeing that the distance was suitable, he immediately took out his bow and arrows, bent his bow and shot arrows. A rain of arrows caused dozens of horses to fall on the left flank of the official army. Dong Zhuo was so angry that he hurriedly ordered the left flank of the officers and troops to counterattack with cavalry shooting. But Dong Zhuo's cavalry was not as good as the Xiliang army, and some knights fell off their horses because they couldn't grasp their balance when riding and shooting.

The rain of arrows attacked the five thousand horsemen on the left flank of the Xiliang Army, only to see Zhang Xiu's order, and the five thousand horsemen disappeared on the horseback in an instant, and disappeared! On the back of five thousand war horses, there was no one, and it seemed that only five thousand war horses were sprinting.

Dong Zhuo is proficient in cavalry warfare, so he naturally knows that this is the skill of "hiding in the stirrup" used by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and he is not surprised too much. But to Dong Zhuo's surprise, hiding in this stirrup is not a simple action. It requires the knight to first withdraw one foot from the stirrup in a very short time, and then the knight holds the horse's neck, bends its body, and attaches it to the side of the horse's body. The knight relied only on one foot in the stirrup and his hands tightly around the neck of the war horse to support himself and not fall.

Such a miraculous skill, even if Qiang Xianbei, who grew up on horseback, is usually only mastered by a very small number of elites, and only used as a stunt during festivals to show off his skills.

And Xiliang Iron Cavalry is actually 5,000 people, and everyone can do it. This shows that the training of Xiliang Iron Riding has been perverted to the extreme!

The rain of arrows fired by the cavalry on the left flank of the official army rained down, and it did not cause substantial damage to the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but a few war horses happened to be shot in the eye, so they fell in pain.

After the rain of arrows stopped, the five thousand Xiliang iron cavalry rode on horseback again, pulled out the broken golden knife from the scabbard, and prepared to fight the cavalry on the left flank of the charging officer army.

The cavalry was fast, the horses were galloping, and the two cavalry soon collided together. Cavalry warfare does not have as many tricks as foot warfare, water warfare, and siege warfare. After the two cavalry rushed together, they were left to the cavalry to use their skills to kill and wound the enemy soldiers with various weapons and techniques, or try to make the enemy soldiers fall off their horses.

Although the number of Xiliang iron cavalry is only 5,000, it has formed a local numerical advantage. In addition, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was more skilled than Dong Zhuo's cavalry in terms of technical attack, and Dong Zhuo's cavalry casualties rose sharply.

Seeing this scene, Dong Zhuo's heart felt like he had been thrown into a hot oil pot, and he was very distressed. This is the 20,000 horses he managed to get together! Although there must be casualties in war, they cannot be so badly wounded.

After cutting down a Xiliang soldier, Dong Zhuo resolutely sent his elite, the Flying Bear Army, to defeat and win.

But just as Li Dao led the Flying Bear Army and was just dispatching, preparing to return to Zhang Xiu and Zhiyuan, Dong Zhuo hurriedly stopped Li Dao.

Li Wei was puzzled: "The lord is distressed by the Flying Bear Army? ”

Dong Zhuo shook his head gently, his eyes shining, looking into the distance. Li Wei followed Dong Zhuo's gaze and looked over, it turned out that after Zhang Xiu and Zhiyuan's more than 5,000 iron cavalry, there were about 1,000 infantry and were rapidly attacking the left flank.

Li Wei was surprised and said, "The lord wants to use the Flying Bear Army to deal with those enemy foot soldiers?" ”

Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "Not bad." Didn't you see what happened to Zhou Shen? On its left flank, Jin Ma Chao arranged 5,000 iron cavalry and 5,000 foot soldiers. He first used 5,000 iron cavalry to delay Zhou Shen's 20,000 cavalry and fell into a melee. The other 5,000 foot soldiers on his left flank rushed forward at the right time, and surrounded half of Zhou Shen's 20,000 cavalry while they could not avoid it. Then the 5,000 iron cavalry withdrew from the battle group, and while Zhou Shen was still focusing on breaking the formation, they detoured back to the back of Zhou Shen's department to form an encirclement.

Same as the left wing, Jin Ma Chao also arranged cavalry and infantry troops here in our house, and it was also a tactic of first blocking the cavalry and then rushing up the infantry army. Therefore, if our family wants to avoid repeating the mistakes of Zhou Shen, we must first kill those foot soldiers, and then it is not too late to pay attention to this Xiliang Iron Cavalry. ”

"But those foot soldiers are less than a thousand people, and it is impossible to form a semi-encirclement of us like the five thousand foot soldiers encountered by Zhou Shen."

Dong Zhuo shook his head and said, "You don't understand. Don't look at the number of foot soldiers with less than 1,000 people, Jin Ma Chao said in front of our family that that foot soldiers are his most elite troops, known as the first to enter the camp. However, 800 people were able to capture two cities independently. ”

Hearing this, Li Dao made up his mind and said, "The last general's flying bear army may not be worse than the first to enter the camp!" Besides, the Flying Bear Army is a cavalry army, and if a few charges down, they will definitely be able to break through their formation! ”

Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "Don't underestimate it, if you really can't fight, you must preserve your strength, and retreat when you should retreat!" ”

Li Dao said: "Got it." ”

After speaking, Li Dao led the Flying Bear Army to intersperse from the left flank army and kill the Xiandeng camp that was approaching the battle.

Seeing that Zhang Xiu had already been killed with Dong Zhuojun, Ju Yi, the captain of the first battalion, immediately led 800 people to lead the Deng's death, holding a light shield in one hand, a strong crossbow in the other, a sword on his waist, and an arrow on his back, and rushed towards the left flank of the official army.

Halfway through the march, Ju Yi saw that Dong Zhuojun had learned the lesson of Zhou Shen and divided three thousand horsemen to charge. The three thousand horsemen, on the red flag, embroidered a huge black bear, the black bear eyes are red, open the bloody mouth, revealing four canine teeth, stand up with the front legs raised, in the shape of a flutter, with two white wings on the back. Seeing that this flag was so different, Ju Yi was a little more careful. Seeing that the Flying Bear Army was cavalry, Ju Yi ordered the first to board the dead soldiers to arrange the phalanx.

Li Dao was rushing over on a fast horse, but he saw that the first camp stopped, quickly rectified, and immediately formed a phalanx with a shield. But what made Li Dao feel strange was that the general phalanx had to be followed by pikemen, with dense spear heads, to defend the shield.

As for the phalanx that first entered the camp, only the shields were put together, and no weapons were exposed, and no soldiers were exposed. The first to camp is like a turtle, with its head, limbs, and tail retracted into its shell.

Li Dao was disdainful, thinking that no matter how tight the camp was, as long as he rushed forward, he would definitely be able to break the formation.

The Flying Bear Army's iron hooves were fast, and they soon rushed to the front of the first camp. Li Dao believes that the breaking of the formation is at this time.
