Chapter 523 Cavalry Showdown

(Thanks to okman, Tang Zi didn't wave his hand, Debiao's support, thank you!)

No one knows why the Eastern Army appeared here and on their way back to Guanzhong. No one knows when Neixiangcheng was captured by the Guanzhong army.

No one knew how many Kanto troops were here. From the city and outside the city, the Kanto troops rushed out like a tide, as if a river broke through the dam. The sound of war drums sounded everywhere, and the rumbling war drums were beating the rhythm. The dazzling mirror armor of the Kanto cavalry reflected the sunshine and was brilliant. The knights galloped with the drum beats.

"Fuck them to death." Lai Liulang was lit by the passionate sound of war drums, and his whole body seemed to be about to burn. He danced with his cavalry knife and roared loudly. He kept changing horses and galloping here for this moment.

What rushed out of the city were the Han cavalry of the 20,000 cavalry who came to intercept. These elite cavalrymen from Huaihuang skillfully charged in clusters according to the cavalry decree. They did not accelerate with all their might, but maintained a trotting speed. The cavalry were lined up with extremely dense arrays, with war horses next to war horses, shoulders next to shoulders, and trotting in uniform at the drum beats. They left their hands, held cavalry swords, and looked ahead.

The cavalry did not seem to be fast, but the array of shoulder-to-shoulder and shiny mirror armor made them like a wall of steel, like a wall of knife rolling forward.

At this moment, the Guanzhong cavalry who were prideed on their own was shocked. They looked at the rising smoke and dust, the rumbling drums, and the dazzling armor light. Some people even forgot to escape and stood there in a daze.

"Shoot the arrows. Take the arrows!" A lieutenant roared fiercely, and while waving his knife, he cut two frightened soldiers to the ground. While commanding the gathering of soldiers. Dozens of soldiers heard his roar, they threw down their saddles and quickly raised their bows and arrows to shoot arrows at the Kanto cavalry that was pressing like a mountain. In an instant, dozens of arrows roared towards the Kanto cavalry. However, the Kanto cavalry was still more than a hundred steps away, and none of these arrows hit the target, all landed far to the ground. The lieutenant was so angry that he smoked. After only three shots in the battle, your damn enemy fired arrows before they even reached the range. This was a waste of arrows and time. Soon, the lieutenant organized a second round of archery, and more people were stabilizing this time.

Hundreds of people had gathered together in this area. After the lieutenant's repeated shouts, no one shot the arrows out early. Everyone's lips trembled, their faces were pale, and they opened their bows to aim.

"Let it go!" The captain was experienced. As soon as he glanced at him, he knew that the enemy cavalry had entered within eighty steps. It was supposed to be better at shooting within sixty steps. They were all cavalrymen, and they were all cavalry bows, which were not far from the infantry's longbows. But in order to shoot one more arrow, they had to shoot arrows at eighty steps.

The shooting effect this time was good. At least the momentum was much better than the last time. Hundreds of arrows whistled out, and even the sound of bowstrings sounded, and all the bows and arrows shot into the rushing Kanto cavalry formation. Then what disappointed them was that the arrows were shot in, but there was not even a fallen cavalry. Most of the arrows were blocked by the steel helmets and chest armor of these cavalry, and a small number of arrows were shot to other parts. They were also blocked by silk cloaks, vests, and puncture boots. What was even more infuriating was that these damn cavalry were lined up in dense arrays, with plate armor connected to plate armor, which made them all protected on the side. It was easy to shoot them on the front, but it was too difficult to shoot injure, not to mention that after these people were equipped with such luxurious armor, they actually carried a cavalry knife in one hand and a small cavalry shield hung on the other arm.

This round of archery did not hinder the Kanto cavalry at all. They still maintained the speed of being slow and pressed up like a wall.

"Damn it!" the captain spat fiercely and shouted, "Get on the horse, go!" After saying that, he didn't care about the saddle and bridle, and threw the saddle and jumped onto the glittering horse's back. He had no time to match the saddle. "Crash with me!" He carried a horse spear and wanted to lead the troops out before talking, but there were too many cavalrymen in Guandong. The cavalry that came out of the city were all breast plate armor, and they were sturdy and uniformly charged. In addition to these neat cavalry, the obvious Turkic light cavalry came from both sides. These light cavalry were not equipped with dazzling mirror armor, nor did they have the style of charging side by side to side. But these people were even more deadly and even more terrifying for the messy Guanzhong cavalry.

The Turkic light cavalry fully utilized their natural riding and shooting skills, and used their skillful horsemanship, excellent shooting skills, and flexible fighting style to whistle and advance on the battlefield. They often grouped around a hundred people, and did not fight close to each other, but rode and shot at the horse. They went back and forth quickly, flying like a gust of wind. The Turkic people ran around everywhere, shooting arrows constantly, shooting panicked Guanzhong cavalry to the ground.

The breastplate cavalry always maintained a neat array, like a wall of swords and iron walls, crushing the Guanzhong cavalry everywhere, breaking through the group of cavalry that hastily formed formations, and then ignore it. The Turkic light cavalry was chasing around the two wings. The combination of Guandong cavalry made the Guanzhong cavalry not run away but the Turkic light cavalry could not form formations, but could not block the breastplate cavalry.

Although many Guanzhong cavalry are from a military family and are skilled in martial arts, when they face the breastplate cavalry, they often pass by with one spear, and maybe they can cut back several sabers. No matter how powerful they are, they can't beat four hands with two fists. Moreover, sometimes they face a row of breastplate cavalry. It's even worse to fight with the Turks. Although these Turkic cavalry will not always charge in rows of shoulder-to-shoulder and horses like breastplate cavalry, the Turkic light cavalry also has at least three cavalry in groups. The one in front rushed up with a knife, and the one in the back may be lit with a bow and fired a cold arrow, which is hard to defend.

Many Guanzhong cavalry have a feeling that there are too many Guandong cavalry, as if they are everywhere, and the sight of them is either group of Turkic light cavalry or lined up with breastplate Han cavalry. Every Guanzhong cavalry gang trying to gather to escape or fight will be immediately targeted and then slaughtered.

In this chaos, the most terrible thing is that the Guanzhong cavalry never saw the flag of their commander.

Duke Chen Guo, Dou Kang, was very unlucky. After arriving in Neixiang City, he brought a large group of officers and his staff into the city. As a result, in the first round of sudden attacks, Dou Kang was aimed at by more than a dozen sniper crossbowmen, and then he was caught in a dozen crossbows, like a hedgehog, and died on the spot. His officers and staff teams were also destroyed, and most of them were killed in the first round of attacks. The rest were also killed by the cavalrymen who rushed out. As soon as the war started, the army commander died in battle, and even the flag of the commander was taken away. In addition, many senior officers were killed together, which led to the Guanzhong cavalry being raided for a long time and did not form an orderly command. Some people were running away, some were resisting on the spot, and some people were running around without knowing what they were doing.

The biggest fatal mistake of being anxious to saddle the war horses when the Guanzhong army arrived at the city. When the Guandong cavalry came out, many of them even had time to saddle the horses. Many of them were panicked and simply rode light horses. Some people even ordered the army to disband the troops and rest. Not only did they saddle the horses, but they even removed all the armor on their bodies. In such a hot day, it was indeed quite fatal to march in leather and iron armor, but when the raid came, it was too late to put on the armor again. Without armor and saddles, what else would the cavalry be called a cavalry?

Qin Qiong commanded the Turkic light cavalry to scatter all over the place, without giving the Guanzhong cavalry a chance to breathe. He and Laiqi led 20,000 cavalry here to command the Han cavalry with breastplate, while he commanded the Turkic light cavalry. Both sides had their own division of labor, and commanded the Cavalry to attack from the city. He commanded the Cavalry to attack from both sides. The Cavalry to charge in a group with a neat and solid lineup, mainly using cavalry swords to fight with the enemy cavalry in close proximity, fully leveraging the excellent tacit understanding and equipment advantages of the Huaihuang cavalry. Qin Qiong's Turkic light cavalry fully utilized the flexibility and strength of the Turks, entangled the Guanzhong cavalry to avoid giving them the chance to escape.

The cavalry of the Turkic light cavalry caused great damage to the Guanzhong cavalry, especially when many Guanzhong cavalry did not have armor and even saddles, the cavalry battle between the two sides was not above the same level.

The Guanzhong cavalry was completely in chaos. Qin Qiong stood on a high slope, looking at this huge and chaotic battlefield with his eyes showing an excited look. After 20,000 cavalry against 20,000 cavalry, the cavalry of the court was fighting the rebels. Although the Huaihuang cavalry was young, they had already experienced a long battle formation. With their hard training, excellent equipment, and usual rich nutritional supplements, the Huaihuang cavalry could even look down on the cavalry in the world. They had their own pride. When they launched a cluster charge, the famous generals of the Iron-armored Cavalry deeply shocked the enemy. As long as they were not too disparate in strength, no cavalry could stop them. They were not heavy cavalry, but they had the same power as heavy cavalry, but they did not have the disadvantage of only explosive power but not long-lasting endurance.

When equipped with Turkic Light Cavalry as auxiliary cavalry of Huaihuang cavalry, they could proudly claim to be invincible when facing the same number of enemy cavalry on the battlefield.

The battlefield of Neixiang was chosen very well. It was a wide plain area suitable for cavalry combat, and it was most suitable for cavalry combat.

Now, the loss of the chest plaque has been overwhelmed from the battlefield again and again, and the Guanzhong cavalry cannot gather and get closer. Now, the Guanzhong cavalry has only one way left, that is, escape.

Qin Qiong was already waiting for this result. When the Guanzhong cavalry began to flee, they were finished. He would lead the Turkic light cavalry to chase them relentlessly, and chase them to heaven and no way to the ground until they surrender.
