The war book of the tribe, just like the character of the steppe people, is simple and direct, tomorrow, the sun is three feet high, the cavalry of both sides will fight a decisive battle, and 10,000 steppe warriors will cut off the heads of robbers and pay tribute to the gods.

"Fight!"

Coach Qiu added a word to the battle book, asking the herald to shoot at the enemy scouts, and then raised the green order flag on the lookout, and summoned the five standard commanders to discuss the battle plan.

After a brief discussion, it was decided to mark two patrols of cavalry, all of the five patrols of Lingbo participated in the battle, and then a thousand guards were selected, and the others stayed in the camp to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the situation to attack.

Three thousand against ten thousand, the standard commanders scrambled to be the forwards, Coach Qiu raised the Qianlong Order when he saw this, and the officers stood by.

"The steppe people are good at cavalry and archery, and the strength is several times that of us, 10,000 people go to war, and there are more than 20,000 behind, this battle does not seek to destroy the enemy, but to dampen their spirit, raise the prestige of our soldiers, and the target must not underestimate the enemy. ”

The steppe cavalry is a rabble, the student soldiers are not much better, the fifteenth patrol cavalry belongs to eight standard teams, not to mention the guards, a thousand people from more than a dozen nobles, have not been tempered by blood and fire, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a plate of loose sand.

"Go and choose a guard with good riding skills, a thousand people will be divided into two teams, you and Captain Yan will each lead a team, and be ready to fight. ”

The military plane should not be lightly discharged, send away the excellence and others, and Coach Qiu continued to arrange.

"I will lead the five patrols of cavalry and guards to attack, Wang Biao Chang led the infantry archers to stay, your two patrols of cavalry are assigned to the left and right battalions, the main task of the two battalions is to respond to cover, rely on the bow and crossbow to stabilize the formation, and wait for me to lead the team to kill back, cross by surprise from the left and right of the pursuers, and then quickly break away from the battle. ”

"After the meeting, Takagaki issued an order to distribute the crossbows to the left and right battalions fifty each. ”

The military order is like a mountain, there is a hidden dragon order to deter, the standard commanders did not fight for the vanguard main attack, and reluctantly returned to the camp, Gao Yuan wanted to probe the wind and let Coach Qiu scold away: "The soldiers are impermanent, I haven't seen the enemy in formation, how can I deploy a counterattack, get out." ”

The transfer of troops will change the equipment, the students will enter the pre-war preparations, more than 20 officers of the personal guard, there is no need to arrange at all, after Takagaki finished a few words, he visited the captured brothers, ran to the craftsman head to chat, and the physical and mental relaxation of the battle is the trick taught by the gun grandfather.

At dawn, Gao Yuan got up to check the sentry, the camp was quiet, when the sentry vigilantly asked for the password, the dark sentry had already raised a short crossbow, and the enemy stole the camp to make the student guards taste the bitterness, and the grassland people did not only wield sabers to brute, and the patrol outside the camp no longer dared to hang the children to be idle.

After a circle, the east turned white, and the horn of getting up sounded, Takagaki walked into the stable, meticulously combing the dark clouds, until he heard the horn of the meal, he reluctantly put his head on the horse's head, and whispered: "Dark clouds, this is not training, we both have to come back alive." ”

Before the war, the officers inspected the equipment, blades, armor and horse harness as usual, the captains inspected each person one by one, the inspectors checked the random inspection of each team, and the pro-guards gathered in front of the military tent, black cavalry and blood-red cloak, the symbol of the wartime supervision team.

"Captain, the enemy cavalry is out of camp. ”

Li Zihui hurried over with the scout post and kicked off the battle with a proclamation.

Under the cover of the archers, the heavy infantry carried heavy shields and spears out of the camp and lined up, the light infantry followed closely behind and supported the left and right, five hundred infantry formed a formation in front of the battalion, Wang Biao Chang carried a long knife to patrol, and waited for the heavy infantry to erect a shield wall, the spear was like a forest pointing obliquely ahead, the light infantry long knives on both sides flashed with cold light, the defensive position was stable, and the command flag was waved back.

"Out of the camp!"

Coach Qiu gave an order, and the cavalry of the Fifth Patrol quickly passed through the camp gate, lined up behind the heavy infantry formation, and a thousand guards followed closely out of the camp, forming a group left and right behind the Chinese army.

"Order: The Fifth Patrol Soldier is the Chinese army, follow me to the center of the assault, two teams of guards, after the Chinese army rushes, directly charge from both flanks, battle goal: penetrate the enemy formation, warn the escort not to fall in love with the battle, to assemble behind the enemy as soon as possible. ”

"Obey orders! Li Zihui, Chang Yunfei, give orders!"

Takagaki assigned two sentinels to serve as heralds, in order to attract the attention of the convoy, the enemy began to set up in the distance, the battle was about to begin, and there was no time to run to tell the superior.

The sun rose, the morning sun spread all over the grassland, 10,000 tribal cavalry, colorful armor, put out the cone formation that the grassland people are accustomed to using, the black crow crow could not see the end, stretched out enough to be a mile wide.

The heavy infantry completed the task of covering the cavalry array, and returned to the camp under the leadership of Wang Biaochang, 600 students and 1,000 guards were in a zigzag shape, and 10,000 cavalry were directly opposed, and the two 600-person cavalry teams of the left and right battalions were responsible for guarding the flanks, saying that it was 3,000 against 10,000, and the real confrontation should look at the 600 elite cavalry of the Chinese army.

Coach Qiu was in a conflicted mood, he had the intention of not letting Gao Yuan fight, without a suitable reason, he would not agree, the cavalry started to charge, and no one would take care of anyone at that time, and it would be useless to stay by his side, so he was ruthless in assigning tasks.

"Gao Yuan, bring the personal guards, command Qin Rufeng's cavalry patrol, act as the vanguard of the whole team, tear open the gap and rush in. ”

"Obey!"

During the war, there was no discussion, everything was an order, and Takagaki left two guards and led the others to beat horses and run to the cavalry patrol that was lacking.

"You guys get out too, how can Lao Tzu use people to protect!"

Coach Qiu helped his disciples as much as possible, drove away the two guards, raised his eyes to see that the grassland cavalry had moved slowly, turned his head to look at the lookout, and two green flags were erected, indicating that the left and right battalions were ready to fight, and then looked at the student team took a deep breath, Gao Yuan stood in front of the cavalry patrol, the vanguard patrolled the vanguard outpost, and he chose to be the top soldier of the whole team.

"Vanguard, fight!"

Gao Yuan listened to the order to urge the war horse, Wuyun took the lead with four hooves and one horse, Chang Yunfei and Li Zihui followed closely on the left and right, the personal guards and cavalry patrolled and prepared to charge, and when they left a few hundred steps, Coach Qiu led the cavalry to follow up.

Controlling the speed of the dark clouds, Gao Yuan raised his longbow and drew out three sharp arrows, the grassland warriors are known as the unparalleled cavalry and archery, and before the short soldiers meet, they will see who shoots more arrows and who shoots more accurately, he has never relaxed the practice of archery, with the breakthrough of qi refining, he can barely shoot three arrows at the same time, and this battle is just used to test his hand.

The sound of rolling horses' hooves sounded on the grassland, and the cavalry on both sides kept approaching, and the armor could be clearly seen.

"Kill—"

The shouting of the student soldier was issued, the grassland cavalry opened the bow and set up the arrow, and shot the first round of long arrows obliquely into the sky, and the dense arrow rain then fell in the charging team, and the archers shot together, for the student soldiers with two layers of protection of iron armor and soft armor, it was not much of a threat, but after all, the light cavalry did not have a full set of armor, or there were arrows in the war horse, and the students on horseback were thrown out, rolling and escaping under the hooves.

Before the rain of arrows fell, Gao Yuan's legs clamped the horse's belly, the dark clouds stepped on the snow and let go of the speed, like black clouds rolling forward, Gao Yuan opened a few flowing arrows, the bowstring sounded, and three long arrows shot out with a sharp wind, without looking at the target, quickly drawing arrows and drawing the bow.

Li Zihui shot an arrow, before he could open his bow again, the second round of random arrows of the grassland cavalry had risen into the air, scolded angrily, took off the spear, brandished the block arrow, the firing speed could not catch up with the grassland archer, the soldiers put away their longbows one after another, and half-crouched on the horseback to urge the horse to gallop.

Gao Yuan a bow and three arrows, two waves of six arrows shot over three people and two horses, attracted the attention of the opposite grassland warriors, the second round of archery when the front team shot directly at him and the guards, looking at the long arrows that flew straight over, Gao Yuan's left hand longbow and right hand long knife, more than ten years of hard training and no reservations, the arrows in front of the horse's head are all opened, three of the arrows are strong, Gao Yuan felt that his arms were numb, fortunately the people and horses were not injured at all, but there were screams behind him, it seems that there are guards in the arrow, a nameless fire can no longer be pressed, Gao Yuan opened his mouth to bite the long knife, and there were three more long arrows in his right hand.

On the tip of the steppe cavalry team, the three marksmen failed to shoot the enemy as they wished, and just put the long arrow on the bow, the sharp arrow of the high wall shot head-on, some people hid in the stirrup and hurriedly dodged, and the other two waved their bows to block with their own strength, only to feel a pain in their arms and a hard bow to break, and the last scene in their eyes was the young man's angry and disdainful smile.

Drawing three long arrows again, Takagaki was not in a hurry to fire, his eyes were fixed on the enemy hiding in the belly of the horse, this man had strong arms and was good at shooting, and it was too much of a threat to the students behind him if he did not remove them.

"Bow to the sides, straight shot!"

The two teams approached, the enemy commander gave a sharp order, and the front team that made the tip of the cone suddenly separated to the left and right, and the equipment of the steppe cavalry was far worse than that of the cadets, and they were unwilling to directly collide with the elites, and wanted to eliminate the cadets with cavalry and archery.

The enemy has the advantage of troops, but he will dodge the edge and let them separate, the escort teams on both wings may not be able to stop it, Coach Qiu secretly shouted that he made a mistake, the tactics of the steppe people were far more flexible than imagined, and it was too late to adjust the formation at this time, standing on the stirrups and raising his sword and shouting loudly.

"Charge at full speed, bite the enemy, kill—"

On the lookout, Wang Biaochang found that the enemy's formation had changed, Qiu Biaochang raised his knife to give a signal, and the two-handed drum hammer fell rapidly, and dozens of war drums sounded at the same time, issuing an attack order to the whole team.

According to the prior deployment, when the Chinese army rushed into the enemy formation, the escort team was dispatched, but the battlefield situation suddenly changed, and the attack order was issued in advance, Excellence and Captain Yan drew their long knives almost at the same time, and ordered the guards to let their horses move forward, the guards did not look at the grassland people, and shouted at full speed to charge after a short buffer, Excellence and Captain Yan couldn't control the rhythm, and passively marched forward with their own soldiers, so as not to lose command and mess up the formation.

The striker, the sharpshooter hiding in the belly of the horse, listened to the order and fell on the horse's back, and was shouting for the front team to go around, and the target was not the shooter but the war horse under the crotch.

"Throw guns!"

The third round of bow and arrow attacks of the steppe people, shooting directly at the forward of the students, Gao Yuan collected the bow and bright knife, shouted and gave orders, nearly a hundred spears, by the inertia of the war horse running forward, threw to the opposite steppe cavalry, just turned the horse's head, and suddenly the person turned his horse over, and the shooter behind was a little slower, afraid of hurting his own people by shooting directly.

The vanguard shot arrows and dodged, the speed slowed down invisibly, and the cavalry of the rear team accelerated to catch up with Coach Qiu's angry scolding, and connected with the front team from end to end, and the six hundred cavalry joined the formation, and Gao Yuan became the tip of the cone.

"Kill—"

Gao Yuan's shouting and killing was full of internal strength, and it shook the ears of Li Zihui and Chang Yunfei behind him, and spread throughout the six hundred student soldiers, Coach Qiu didn't have time to think about it, put away his knife and shouted: "Collect the bow and ——, ride the spear - throw!"

Five hundred spears flew over the head of the vanguard, the grassland cavalry suddenly made a mess, Gao Yuan grabbed the fighter, patted the horse's buttocks with his left hand, the dark clouds hissed like black lightning and rushed to the enemy formation, the long knife waved with vigor and energy, and the third round of random arrows in front of the horse were all broken, so that Li Zihui and Chang Yunfei, who were supporting the left and right behind him, were wiped out a lot, split and flew the long arrows that missed the net, shouted to kill and chased after them, and the pro-guards saw the sound of killing, and the two armies soon met each other in short arms, and it was difficult for the grassland people to give full play to the advantage of bows and arrows.

The rear team of the grassland cavalry, a middle-aged man wearing chain mail, staring at Gao Yuan, known as the unparalleled cavalry warrior, actually shot one wave less than the enemy vanguard, and he still had a bow and three arrows, twelve long arrows shot over seven people and three horses, two condor archers let him shoot directly to death, and the other became a ghost under the random gun when he dodged, and died indirectly in his hands.

Peerless in cavalry and archery, to whom should this title belong? The ironclad leader will never allow anyone to challenge the dignity of the steppe tribes.

"Order, let the heavy cavalry surround him, and he must cut off his head to avenge the condor archer!"
