Huyan Zhuolie's two thousand cavalry quickly began to assemble after receiving the military order.
It's just that the original cavalry team was a large unit, with a total of 3,800 people, but 2,000 people were transferred from it, which meant that the number of troops was nearly half or more.
Such a large-scale deployment will naturally take longer to prepare without affecting the original defense.
However, at this critical node, the Qin army appeared.
According to Su Pingbei's arrangement, three hundred Qin army cavalry were lined up, with two unmanned horses behind them.
In this way, one person leads three horses.
The hoofbeats of the war horses rumbled, sending up snowflakes and mud. The momentum alone made people dare not take it lightly.
The hoofs of the war horses galloped wildly, bringing up flying snow all over the sky, making it difficult to see clearly.
Looking at the Liao army, they only felt that the formation was quite large.
"Enemy attack!!!"
Hearing the movement, the Liao army shouted loudly, and the entire army immediately entered a state of combat readiness.
When Huyan Zhuolie heard the noise, he raised his head suddenly and saw that at the junction of the sky and the earth in front of him, the vast snow line was lifted up and filled with white mist, and a large group of people were galloping towards him.
Judging from Huyan Zhuolie's experience, such a deafening sound of horse hooves must have involved at least a thousand people.
"Prepare for war!"
Before he could say anything else, Huyan Zhuolie roared angrily.
At this time, the Qin army had also launched the first wave of attacks.
For the cavalry, the most common attack method is to carry out a covering strike with arrows from a long distance. It does not expect to cause many casualties. The most important purpose is to disrupt the enemy's position, then charge quickly, and use spears and sabers to intersperse and harvest.
.
The rain of arrows soared into the sky from the Qin army's cavalry phalanx, drew a beautiful parabola in the sky, and then fell towards the heads of the Liao army.
Shooting by throwing, using the gravity of the arrow to accelerate, it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to defend.
But the Liao army has always been the best elite in the world, not to mention that each of them grew up on horseback, and they are very familiar with bows and arrows.
With little need for an order from the general, the soldiers immediately raised their shields and relied on each other. The shields were connected to each other, forming a huge phalanx of shields facing the sky.
Dangdangdang...
The metal arrow hit the shield, making a series of explosions like fried beans.
But no matter how quick the Liao army's response was, this sudden surprise attack by the Qin army still took away dozens of lives of the Liao army.
There was even an arrow among them that was heading straight towards Huyan Zhuolie as if it had eyes.
Huyan Zhuolie drew out his sword and chopped the arrow into pieces with one strike. He roared in rage: "Counterattack! Counterattack!"
The two thousand Liao army that had been assembled before immediately attacked.
The sound of galloping horses and shouts instantly echoed throughout the world.
The horses' hooves rolled up the snow, and a vast white mist formed between the sky and the earth. An invisible murderous aura continued to transpire, shrouding the land covered in vast white snow.
The Qin army on the opposite side seemed to be frightened by the Liao army who reacted so quickly. They only heard a roar that resounded through the sky, "The Liao army has been prepared for a long time. Our sneak attack plan has failed. Retreat!".
After saying this, the Qin army turned around and ran away faster than when they came.
Behind them, the Liao army burst into roars of laughter, seeming to laugh at the Qin family's cowardice and incompetence.
"These two-legged sheep are scared to death, sons and daughters, come on! These are military merits that can run away. Capture them and use their heads as wine flasks. I, the general, will ask for your merits in front of the prince!"
