They all feel that they have been tricked by their inherent ideas.
The Han army was not as imagined. They were all new recruits and collapsed immediately. Yu Wenchun’s so-called recruits were compared to the Xianbei cavalry. These Xianbei cavalry had lived on horseback since childhood, so they received cavalry training.
However, the Han cavalry of a few years can indeed be called new recruits.
But don’t forget that these Han troops are very well-equipped, and when Han captured Hu and entered Pingcheng, they had fought against the Xue Yantuo people and defeated them in one battle, so that the Xue Yantuo people now only dare to run to Youzhou.
Look for trouble over there.
Coupled with their high fighting spirit, it is good to say that they are new recruits, but it is a big mistake to underestimate their combat power.
As for the Han army, although the Xianbei cavalry looked messy and scattered, these guys were really difficult to deal with. Their swords were ruthless and they went straight to the vital points. After all, they were experienced people.
The Xianbei cavalry is well-deserved.
As light cavalry, they are known as iron cavalry, obviously not because of how thick their armor is, but because their flesh and blood bodies are like iron plates, and the knives in their hands are even more sharp and deadly!
Even with the numerical advantage, the Han army's losses were no smaller than those of the Xianbei people upon encounter.
Yu Wenchun and Yu Xi both felt a burst of physical pain.
After the two groups of cavalry crossed each other, the Han army gathered their ranks, and the Northern Zhou cavalry also reined in their horses.
After a chase and charge, both sides needed to take a breather.
But this respite will not last long. After the short battle, everyone paid a heavy price. Of course, they also know that the opponent is not easy to deal with. Therefore, both Yu Wenchun and Yu Xi are eager to put the opponent aside.
Death place.
The Xianbei cavalry launched another charge, and the Han cavalry also suddenly opened up.
Relying on the numerical advantage and still using a pincer attack, Yu Xi wanted to clamp down on the Xianbei people and try to escape from his sword, but there was no way!
Yu Wenchun stared ahead. The easiest way to deal with the pincer offensive was to form a cone and attack directly forward at the weak point between the enemy's wings!
It's a bit funny to say that the conical array of cavalry should be what the Han people are best at, because it can maximize the advantages of the Han people's armor and weapons, use the sharpness of the armor and weapons to create impact, and at the same time cover the cavalry
The shortcoming of individual combat ability is not strong. After all, compared with the Xianbei cavalry who were born on horseback, no matter how well the Han cavalry is trained, their individual combat ability will definitely not be comparable.
However, the pincer offensive of outflanking on both sides is what the prairie cavalry is best at. Taking advantage of the high endurance of the prairie ponies, they can complete the outflanking and encirclement over long distances. At the same time, they can use the bows and arrows in their hands to attack the enemy's weak flanks, which can naturally force them to attack.
The enemy shrinks inward and severely damages the enemy's morale.
Now the positions of both sides seem to be a bit reversed.
The Han cavalry came very quickly, and began to greet the Northern Zhou cavalry with short blunderbuss. There were also flying axes, short spears and the like mixed in, making the Northern Zhou cavalry hard to guard against.
The cone-shaped assault array was quickly disrupted. Yu Wenchun decisively restrained his men. The opponent's numbers were superior. If he had to rush in, he would probably not be able to break through the enemy's defense line, or even vice versa.
Surrounded by enemies.
At this point, we can only choose one side to break out of the encirclement. As long as we can open a hole in the enemy's defense line, we can still escape from the encirclement.
It is neither easy nor easy for the cavalry to stop the cavalry, because every confrontation between the two sides must be on the wrong horse. Unless they really collide directly with the idea of losing both sides, otherwise in just a few rounds if there is no
To determine the winner, the horse teams of both sides often staggered. At this time, it is natural to turn the horses' heads and launch the next attack.
Of course, since we are out of contact with the enemy, escaping is not a problem at all.
Yu Xi narrowed his eyes, knowing that he could not stop Yu Wenchun who wanted to escape.
But today's battle has reached this point, which is beyond imagination.
The seven to eight hundred remnants of the defeated generals in front of us were not on the same level as the mighty tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry.
This battle broke the backbone of the Xianbei cavalry.
The reason why the Xianbei cavalry is so famous is that once they start charging, they have the awe of going forward and crushing all enemies. Any rational infantry commander does not want to face such enemies, because they have not crushed them yet.
Before entering the military formation, the psychological defense of his own soldiers had been crushed with force. Even the Han army's Mo Dao team and heavy armored soldiers should have felt uneasy when facing the endless Northern Zhou cavalry standing here.
But in this battle, the Xianbei cavalry were running around like headless flies.
Their invincible image among the Han soldiers and in the hearts of countless people in the world is about to collapse.
The results achieved in this battle were far less than the strategic deterrent effect achieved.
Yu Wenchun led the cavalry to break through the Han army's obstruction. After all, the number of Han army cavalry on this side was only one or two thousand. Facing the desperate Northern Zhou cavalry, it was naturally impossible to stop them.
Yu Xi didn't expect to be able to stop him. He knew how much his subordinates weighed.
Yu Wenchun broke through the Han army's blockade, gathered the defeated troops, and retreated toward the water.
The war has reached this point, and the outcome has already been decided.
Yu Wenchun, run away!
The Han army is already the winner!
Naturally, Yu Xi would not let him take it easy, and led the Han cavalry to pursue him all the way.
Li Jing actually had nothing to do at this time. He had driven all the Xianbei people out of the camp. Of course, some of the people who had not left had become prisoners of the Han army.
In addition, with the cooperation of the cavalry mobilized by Yu Xi, the Han army's infantry gathered a large number of horses.
The subordinate generals were naturally busy with the task of counting prisoners of war, battle losses, and captures. Before their results were reported, Li Jing could only walk along the camp and look at the soldiers.
The fires were mostly put out, and the Han army rekindled the Xianbei people's fire ponds to keep warm.
Most of the people were injured, and even had blood stains that they had no time to wipe off, but they were leaning by the fire pit, talking and laughing, with proud expressions on their faces. Just today, they actually defeated the invincible
The Xianbei cavalry!
When someone saw Li Jing and stood up to salute, all the Han soldiers stood up and saluted while looking at Li Jing with bright eyes.
In this battle, Li Jing completely convinced these elite soldiers.
This young supervisor was worthy of such an important task, and everyone's original distrust of him was completely dissipated in the figure of the fleeing Northern Zhou people.
Li Jing bowed his hands to them.
He was also very grateful to these soldiers for their hard work.
Of course, I am also grateful to them for giving him the most basic trust and obeying his orders.
