Under the scorching sun, a division of cavalry rushed forward with neat steps. Their uniform voices shook the surrounding areas, like thunder rolling from the sky, and the whole land was trembling.
Zhega took the lead, high-spirited, and stared coldly at the Tibetan army formation ahead. When the army was approaching, Zhega pulled the horse's head and detoured to the side, not directly charging into the camp to touch the archer.
The light cavalry is flexible, changeable and unpredictable.
In the Tubo army.
The archers lined up in front suddenly felt uncomfortable when they saw no attack. After hesitating for a moment, they all released their bows and let their arms recover their strength. Who can stand the long-term draw of the bow?
A group of cavalry broke away from the formation and came up to try to stop them. The first general cursed loudly and rushed forward for a short distance with all his strength. He picked up his bow and aimed at Zhejia.
Zhega grew up on a horse and was very familiar with mounted combat. He was calculating the speed and distance. It looked like a roundabout way, but in fact his attention was all on the archer. He was overjoyed when he saw the archer put down his bow and arrow, and changed his mind without hesitation.
direction, leading the army to attack the archers again.
The archers suddenly panicked and drew their bows one after another under the scolding of the officers.
It takes time to draw the bow, which is enough time for the cavalry to run for more than 20 meters. In other words, Zhega's deceptive tactic has shortened the distance between the enemy archers and the enemy archers by more than 20 meters. The enemy will shoot one less round, and his side will die a lot less.
Zhega galloped on his horse and shouted excitedly: "Spread out, San San Zhi spread out."
The three-by-three system is the pinnacle tactic of light infantry. Before this tactic came out, everyone charging was looking for death and could not resist machine guns. After it came out, the probability of the ancestors dying on the way to charge was greatly reduced, and there were countless people alive.
What everyone faced was bows and arrows, which were far less intensive than the hot weapons of later generations.
The cavalry quickly dispersed, like a flock of frightened sparrows. They were everywhere in an instant, sparsely scattered, but without exception, they continued to charge forward, keeping their bodies low, their eyes as cold as wolves, and the long scimitars glowing in the sun.
The cold light of metal makes people feel chilly.
"Boohoo!"
A large number of arrows fell from the sky, but the soldiers had already dispersed, and the arrows fell into the air and were nailed to the ground.
Another large fluffy arrow roared towards them. Everyone lowered their bodies and rushed forward, not caring about the arrows in the sky. The distance between the two sides quickly closed, and they were about to collide.
The attacking cavalry from Tibet circled up and blocked the front, like a long dragon.
Zhejia calculated this accurately and without hesitation led his men to charge forward. This kind of side collision was the most uncomfortable for Tubo. Countless people were cut off from their horses by scimitars. The Hanzhou army did not like to fight with the cavalry and charged forward.
When you enter the phalanx of archers, you don't just attack them, you just rush them.
"Puff! Puff——"
The huge scimitar lying across the saddle was just at the same height as the Tibetan archer's neck. It easily tore open the neck and set off a stream of blood arrows. Screams suddenly broke out one after another, and the sound was loud.
The archers were not good at close combat. Wherever they could stop the speeding horses from colliding with each other, they were instantly killed and turned into a mess.
But Tubo came well prepared and was not a vegetarian. They quickly mobilized a group of sword and shield soldiers to besiege them. However, Zhega immediately retreated and led his troops to rush to one side, trampling and crushing them all the way, and quickly rushed out of the army.
, and walked away.
The Tubo army was furious and immediately mobilized 10,000 cavalry to attack.
Zhe's eyes suddenly lit up and he continued to charge forward with his team. If he could really lure away these ten thousand cavalry, Zhe's believed that Luo Zhang would definitely be tempted and send people to support him and eat these ten thousand.
However, this Tibetan cavalry was very cunning. After chasing for a certain distance, they began to slow down and return. Seeing that they could not lure the snake out of the hole, Zhejia did not hesitate to lead his troops and kill them.
The Tubo cavalry came to kill them again, howling and screaming strangely.
This time Zhega did not continue running, but shouted: "Warriors, use bows and arrows!"
Everyone quickly put away their scimitars and took out their bows and arrows. Bows and arrows were everyone's main weapons. Scimitars were only equipped at the back. On the other hand, the Tibetan cavalry who were chasing them did not have bows and arrows. Zhega decided to teach this enemy army how to behave and shouted
Said: "Use the regiment as a combat unit, spread out, pounce on them and bite them."
"Yes!" the three regiment leaders responded loudly.
Soon, the team was divided into three, and they rushed up from different routes, all tacitly avoiding the front. As a result, the chasing Tibetan army felt uncomfortable. They either divided their forces or concentrated their forces to attack one part, without waiting for the Tibetan army.
The cavalry responded, and Zhega's men rushed forward like the wind.
"Boohoo!"
Countless arrows flew away like locusts or a heavy rain.
The people who grew up on horseback are very powerful in archery. A single rain of arrows can knock down hundreds of people. After the rain of three arrows, more than a thousand people of the Tubo army fell. Seeing that the two armies are about to collide, Zhejia
After giving the order, the soldiers turned around and ran away, not engaging in battle at all.
The Tubo army suffered a loss and became red-eyed and unwilling to let go. They chased and killed them with all their might.
As a result, they fell into another scheme. The soldiers quickly dispersed, turned around and fired. The feathered arrows rushed towards the target as if they had eyes. The distance was only a few dozen meters away. This distance was too easy for everyone.
.
The Tibetan army did not carry bows and arrows, so they could only be beaten passively. In the blink of an eye, they lost thousands of people.
The leading general realized that the whole army would be annihilated if this fight continued, so he quickly ordered the troops to stop the pursuit and prepare to retreat to the camp. Unexpectedly, Zhega and his men rushed up again and continued to shoot arrows, just like a pack of hunting wolves.
The Tubo army howled with anger and chased them again. Everyone continued to run and shoot arrows.
As before, the direct killings made the Tibetan army complain incessantly, unable to retreat, and unable to pursue them. Panic began to spread, and morale began to plummet.
After five rounds, the Tibetan army was less than half, and they fled towards the main formation regardless of anything.
Zhe Ge was willing to give up the fat he had obtained, and led his men to chase him up again. Everyone howled excitedly, and the battle with the wind was a joy, and his archery skills began to show extraordinary performance.
By the time the Tibetan army fled back to its main formation, there were less than three thousand.
Seven thousand of the ten thousand cavalry were killed. This result shocked the Tibetan army, and the whole army fell into silence.
Zhega did not charge anymore. The war horse continued to run at high speed, which consumed a lot of physical strength and needed rest. He took it back to the main formation and found a place for the troops to assemble. He rode to the Chinese army and gave the order: "General, the war horse is tired, wait until it recovers."
We will fight again when we have some physical strength."
"Hahaha, it was a good fight. It showed the majesty of my light cavalry army. Did you all see it? Just fight like this." Luo Zhang praised with satisfaction, and then said loudly to everyone.
Everyone praised it one after another, seeing it with their own eyes, they couldn’t help but be convinced.
Zhejia didn't dare to make excuses, so he quickly said: "I don't deserve your compliments. They were all taught well by the general."
"Although it was taught by my general, if you apply what you have learned, draw inferences from one example and understand other cases well, the credit is yours. Our Hanzhou Army pays attention to facts and does not engage in falsehoods. Who will try the enemy again?
Luo Zhang said and looked at the other four division commanders.
