Pang De led the Xiliang cavalry as the vanguard, and almost immediately broke up the formation of some of the Xiutu cavalry that had not yet been assembled.

Then Zhao Tong led most of his troops to press forward.

With the extremely powerful fighting force of the Xiliang Xiaoqi opening the way, the Han army pressed forward like a dimensionality reduction attack, frantically chopping melons and vegetables and slaughtering the Hu Qi.

The Xiliang cavalry each held a spear and swept the enemy cavalry off their horses, whizzing past.

As for the Zhao command troops coming from behind, they almost turned on the last-ditch mode.

If the spears of the Xiliang cavalry in front did not penetrate the corpses of the enemy soldiers and there was still a chance of survival, the Han knights behind would turn into ferocious lone wolves and wield the butcher knives in their hands to kill them.

This is also the difference between cavalry and pawns.

The weapons used by the Xiliang cavalry, led by Ma Chao, are mainly war spears and bows.

This is also due to the fact that the Xiliang cavalry are all composed of people from Liangzhou. They have been with horses since childhood and are very skilled in equestrian skills.

Therefore, by using spears as weapons, you can take advantage of the superior equestrian skills of your soldiers and charge them into battle.

As for bow and arrow, it is also an extension of riding and archery based on being very proficient in riding skills.

In today's era, we are still in the early stages of cavalry use. There are no high-bridge saddles, double-sided stirrups, or even three-piece sets such as horseshoes. If the cavalry can shoot the enemy with a bow from the left and right on horseback, it will definitely be a very good horsemanship.

By!

With only one side of the stirrup, those who are not good at equestrianism cannot free their hands at all. Otherwise, they cannot withstand the violent shaking caused by the bumps when the horse gallops.

Thanks to the superb riding skills of the Xiliang cavalry, they used their spears to charge into the formation, and fired their bows left and right on horseback to harass the enemy with mounted fire.

There is also a Javelin tactic that was inspired by a chance encounter with a certain country in the Western Regions.

Spears, javelins, crossbows...

This basically established the reputation and invincibility of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

The so-called "one inch is long and one inch is long" does not only apply to formation battles between infantry armies. For cavalry battles, using long weapons to charge into formations can also give you an absolute advantage.

However, the cavalry under Zhao Tong were basically composed of people from the Central Plains and Jingchu. Since the cavalry did not grow up in the yellow sand-filled borderland like the Xiliang cavalry, they did not grow up since childhood.

Practice equestrian hard.

Naturally, he is not that skilled in riding skills.

When it comes to riding, shooting, javelin and other difficult riding skills, there is nothing you can do.

Therefore, after Zhao took command of this group of knights, he also ordered all the cavalry under his command to abandon their spear weapons and all be equipped with sabers.

The saber is short and not suitable for charging into battle.

But it is more suitable for fighting between cavalry and soldiers.

Therefore, before leading the Xiliang cavalry, Zhao Tong basically used cavalry to intersperse and fight to divide the battlefield, and rarely used it to rush into formation.

And this time with the help of the Xiliang cavalry, Zhao Tong seemed to have a helping hand.

Let Pound lead the Xiliang cavalry as the vanguard to charge forward and tear apart the enemy's cavalry formation, while he himself will lead his own elite cavalry to cover up the attack.

“Tap tap tap~~”

As the sound of hoofbeats galloped past, the unprepared Xiutu cavalry was unable to fight back.

He was defeated along the way and fled in all directions into the tribe.

But due to the delay of these knights, King Xiutu bought time to assemble the elite main force of the tribe.

But just when Xiu Tu's main cavalrymen were about to fight off the incoming Han cavalry, they were all dumbfounded.

I saw that the Han knights had already entered the tribe.

At this moment, the defeated Xiutu cavalrymen fled in all directions.

Zhao Tong, Pang De, Huo Yi, Liu Yin...

A large number of Han troops, each armed with an elite cavalry, charged around, wantonly harvesting the heads of Xiutu people one after another.

The battlefield is chaotic and bloody.

The air all around seemed to be filled with a strong pungent smell.

The flames of war spread among the Xiutu tribe.

The morale of the Han cavalry also became higher and higher under the continuous fighting.

All the cavalrymen are also full of fighting spirit and fighting spirit!

Even in the face of the main mass of Xiutu Knights, he was not afraid at all!

Pang De watched the warriors from the tribe charging out, and he quickly shouted:

"Every unit obeys orders, retreats and fires with bows and crossbows, attacking and disturbing the enemy's cavalry."

"only!"

The order was passed down, and the Xiliang cavalry in the headquarters accepted the order one after another.

The next second, they all attached their spears, took off their long bows from their waists, and started fighting with the knight Xiutu.

Zhao Tong looked at this scene and knew that it would be very disadvantageous to fight against the enemy with his elite cavalry.

He then raised his spear high and ordered his troops to bypass the enemy's cavalry and attack the surrounding areas.

The battlefield was handed over to Pound's Xiliang army and the Xiutu knights.

"Ah, ah~"

I saw that the Xiliang army's archery skills were also extremely superb. Even if they fired their bows from left to right on horseback, it was like shooting arrows, and their accuracy was frighteningly high.

As the sound of arrows leaving the strings sounded, it seemed as if some cavalrymen fell to the ground in the Xiutu cavalry formation behind them.

Seeing that the enemy cavalry was defenseless, Knight Xiutu wanted to attack him and inflict heavy damage.

But the reality slapped them in the face.

The horses under the Xiliang cavalry are all the best horses from Liangzhou.

Not only is his running burst amazing, but his endurance is also quite strong.

The two sides fought for a long time, and the Xiutu Knight could only follow behind and eat the smoke.

On the contrary, under the shooting of the Xiliang cavalry, people on Xiutu's side were shot at any time and fell off their horses, and were trampled to pieces by war hooves.

The leader of the Xiutu Cavalry sees that if this situation continues, his own morale will inevitably collapse and he will be defeated by then!

He waved his riding whip and ordered all the troops to stop the pursuit, preparing to temporarily let go of the Xiliang cavalry who were extremely proficient in riding and archery.

Then he turned his attention to the other cavalry led by Zhao Tong.

The Xiutu people themselves came from the Xiongnu. Naturally, they had made a living with horses since they were young, and their equestrian skills were outstanding.

At this time, Leader Xiutu also saw that the cavalry of Zhao Tongbu, who had avoided his side's main cavalry, were not as powerful as the Xiliang cavalry.

Therefore, he also gave him a soft squeeze!

First defeat Zhao Tongbu, then go back and deal with the Xiliang knights.

However, he had a good idea, so how could Pound get what he wanted?

Just when the Xiutu cavalry was about to disperse their formations and wipe out the Han cavalry, Pound suddenly ordered his cavalry to turn their horses around and come back to kill them.

The long bows shot arrows one after another, which made the Xiutu cavalry miserable.

Suddenly, Knight Xiutu was in a dilemma!

Facing the Xiliang army who were very proficient in riding and archery, there was no room for fighting back.

It was as if he was being fooled around.

After a lot of dealings, the Xiutu knights were exhausted and their morale dropped sharply.

Instead, Zhao Tong took advantage of this period to lead his troops to fight around the tribe, gradually forming an encirclement of Xiutu's cavalry army.
