Both sides met unexpectedly on the plain.

Ma Xianglin was not afraid at all and immediately ordered his troops to slow down the horse's speed.

After the horse's speed slowed down, the cavalry began to eat on the horse's back, eating on the one hand and feeding it into the horse's mouth.

Cavalry are elite troops in any country and in the army, and only personal soldiers are even treated as horseback riding. Therefore, those who can be a cavalry are basically veterans and cavalry and shooting, and have rich combat experience.

Although Ma Xianglin only led two thousand cavalrymen to come, in fact, his quality is not worse than that of ordinary ten thousand soldiers, or even stronger.

These cavalry have a lot of experience in the battle.

Unlike those who were solitary heads, they rushed up when they saw the enemy. They slowed down the horse speed, allowed the horses to accumulate strength, and replenish themselves with energy. Taking a few bites of dry food or water, this may be the last time they ate.

This is the steady style of the elite veterans.

Both sides were eating and preparing to charge, but the Chinese army was still a little more elite. They took the lead in completing these actions. The horn trumpet sounded and the sound of hooves sounded like thunder. Thousands of cavalry were launched, like a mountain torrent, with amazing momentum.

There is no doubt that the cavalry in the Chinese army is also the elite of their elite, and they are even stronger than ordinary Ming cavalry because their cavalry is mainly mercenaries, most of which are recruited from the border areas, recruiting Mongolians and people from the border areas. These people grew up on horseback at a young age, and their best skills are riding horses. They can be said to be natural cavalry and hunters.

Since ancient times, there have been ships in the south and horses in the north. Northerners can’t play boats with southerners, but no matter what, if you talk about horse riding, it’s far from it.

The cavalry commander of the Chinese Army, Burigude, often described the cavalry of the Ming Army in this way, and they were just soldiers who could ride horses.

The cavalry of Burigude was deeply understood by the essence of the Mongolian Iron Cavalry. The essence is that these soldiers are good at long-distance raids and can persist in fighting in extremely harsh environments. No matter how awesome the cavalry of other countries is, they cannot eat and sleep on the horse's back, but they can do this. As for the various equestrian movements on the horse's back, as well as the left and right bows, etc., this is all basic.

The Chinese army is so capable of fighting, which is also related to their formation of a cavalry of tens of thousands of people.

You should know that the Liaodong general Li Chengliang, who was the Liaodong cavalry with a population of 10,000, could not hold up his head for forty years.

When this iron cavalry that was scattered across the northeast was disbanded, the situation in the northeast began to lose control. When the Ming Dynasty realized the danger, the iron cavalry outside the pass had already broken into the pass and ransacked the pass.

The Liu family army was rich and powerful, so they formed a huge cavalry team without hesitation. Moreover, through their commercial network, they could continuously obtain high-quality war horses from outside the pass, especially after occupying southern Liaoning, they had their own horse farming land and could breed war horses in large quantities, further expanding their cavalry troops.

The cavalry of the Chinese Army is said to have tens of thousands of people, but this is just a rough estimate. There are more than this real personnel. Except for the military headquarters of the Chinese Army, no one knows in detail how many cavalry of the Chinese Army are.

If we consider the factors of auxiliary soldiers and servant soldiers, even Liu Bu, the commander of the Chinese Army, did not know how many cavalry they had (detailed numbers).

However, the overall quality of the Chinese cavalry is extremely high, which is an indisputable fact.

When the two sides met on a narrow road, Ma Xianglin did not dare to be careless and immediately ordered his subordinates to do their best to prepare for the battle.

The Chinese cavalry maintained a record of complete victory. The iron armored outfits on them alone were better than those of the Ming army. Looking at their tall horses and the iron armor, Ma Xianglin was under great pressure. He said to his subordinates: "Brothers, today will be a difficult battle."

Ma Xianglin's military use was stable. He did not expand because of the battle of Yiling that destroyed the Qingzhou Division, one of the six main forces of the Chinese Army. He knew that they could destroy the Qingzhou Division, which was the result of the right time, place, and people. If under normal circumstances, they wanted to destroy this unit, they would probably pay an extremely heavy price, or even impossible.

Judging from the opponent's weapons and equipment that were seized afterwards, the opponent's weapons and equipment were very well-equipped. All soldiers were between the ages of eighteen and forty. Unlike the Ming army, they were of varying quality and numerous elderly, weak, sick and disabled. This shows that the opponent maintains extremely strong strength and momentum.

It is precisely because of this that Ma Xianglin saw the other party being prepared for the battle that he did not dare to take it lightly. Seeing the other party attacking with all his might, he also knew that he could not retreat. If he retreated and let the other party take advantage of the situation and rushed over, they would have no way out.

The two cavalry met on a narrow road and rushed towards the other side without hesitation, preparing to disperse the other side in one fell swoop.

Who knew that when the Chinese cavalry rushed into 150 steps, they suddenly made a turn and rushed to the left.

As the toast in the southwest, Ma Xianglin has been active in the southwest area, mainly fighting with these toasts and local forces. The other side does not even have many horses, let alone playing this superb riding technique.

Even Ma Xianglin, who is famous for his outstanding riding skills, dared not let his war horses turn around. When charging at high speed, he suddenly turned to the side. If he was not careful, he would easily be thrown off the stirrups and get rid of the horse.

But these Chinese cavalrymen were like monkeys on horses, and they were extremely flexible on horses. With their legs clamped, they would turn their horses to the side.

The cavalry on both sides were about to attack head-on. Ma Xianglin had ordered the soldiers to raise their shields and pick up the javelin, ready to give the other party a fierce blow when approaching them.

After killing a group of opponents, they will slam their spirits and then hit them hard. Using the impact of the horse's high-speed charge, they will chasing and dispersing the opponent's formation. This is the charge on the battlefield.

Ma Xianglin has done such things a lot, and he is not afraid at all. He holds a knife in one hand and a shield in the other. Who knows that before the two sides bumped into each other, the other party turned to the side and did not confront them head-on.

But if you think the Chinese cavalry was running away, it would be a big mistake. The cavalrymen used their feet to control their horses, then immediately took out bows and arrows, and shot them at the Ming cavalry. In a moment, the arrow feathers were like raindrops, shooting them into the Ming cavalry, shooting them overturned.

In the high-speed charge, the iron cavalry used their legs to control the horses and could shoot arrows from left to right. Only these Mongolians who grew up on horseback can do it. Moreover, their archery skills are extremely accurate. Even though most of the soldiers of the Ming army were covered with iron armor, they could shoot at their faces or necks from a hundred steps away.

These Chinese soldiers have extremely good shooting skills. It is said that their archery skills were practiced by riding horses to shoot mice on the grassland when they were young. What they are best at is shooting the target of high-speed movement during high-speed movement. This is the truly excellent riding and shooting skills.

The Ming army, who were charging forward with all their might, was in great danger. They were all hit by arrows. Even if the Chinese soldiers were not very skillful in shooting skills, they would shoot the opponent's war horses, shooting them upside down, with heavy casualties.

The Ming army wanted to fight back, but they were not able to use bows and arrows to shoot the opponent on the back of the horse that charged at high speed. At this speed, even if they could barely shoot the bow, they would not have the right idea. As a result, the Chinese army suddenly played this trick, which caused the Ming army to suffer a great loss.

The Mongolian cavalry, once invincible, traversing the Eurasian continent, all their tactics were regarded as classic by military strategists around the world. This is one of the six major tactics of the Mongolian Army.

This tactic is extremely exquisite in cavalry riding and shooting skills. Without extremely outstanding riding and shooting skills, you cannot play this trick.

In this way, the Ming army's cavalry was defeated and suffered. These Mongolian cavalry were like fish swimming and mice, and they were as flexible as mice, and they attacked them outside their range.

The Ming cavalry also fought back one after another, either not reaching the range or failing to hit the shot.

Moreover, the Mongolian cavalry were extremely cunning and did not fight with the Ming army's cavalry at all. Instead, they used their excellent horse control skills to shoot and kill Ming army soldiers outside the opponent's military formation.

If you chase me, I will run away; if you run away, I will chase me. When you are exhausted, I will fight. They have put the harassment tactics of the Mongolian cavalry to their limits.

Although the Ming cavalry was half more than them, they felt like a tiger biting a hedgehog and had no idea where to go.

Since the fight, these Ming cavalry from the southwest have known the power of the harassing tactics of the world-famous Mongolian cavalry.

The other party will not fight you at all. With their excellent horse control skills, they will harass and shoot the Ming army outside their range.

Don’t underestimate this kind of combat method. After two hours, they successfully shot and killed more than 400 Ming army cavalry, which caused a huge blow to their morale.

Ma Xianglin was a very calm person, but he was also crazy by the opponent's tactics. He ordered the cavalry to pursue him with all his might.

But the other party was as flexible as a mouse and quickly slipped away. They were all tall and big horses. They were determined to escape, but these short Dian horses could not catch up with them even if they chased them.

This battle made Ma Xianglin very frustrated and angry. The two sides fought for a long time, but they didn't even touch the other party's hair, and even broke more than 400 people.

This was already a huge loss, and he had to think about how to explain to the general? Ma Xianglin was angry and decided not to pay attention to the other party's harassment and rushed directly to Xiangyang City.
