Faced with the harassment tactics of the Chinese army, the Ming army had no choice but to form a group and let the people outside hold their shields to make passive defenses, and then roll forward all the way, preparing to directly attack Xiangyang City.

However, the Chinese cavalry was like psoriasis that could not be shaken away, sticking to the surroundings of the Ming cavalry. As long as the opponent showed a little flaw, they would use bows and arrows to shoot in from tricky angles, and shoot their men and horses. Although the Ming army made full defense, people fell off or were injured every moment.

At the critical moment of the war between the two armies, falling off a horse and being injured means death in battle.

When Ma Xianglin turned passive to active and prepared to attack Xiangyang City, they were not afraid or passive, and they still used this ordinary tactic.

Ma Xianglin thought he would turn passive into active, but after arriving in Xiangyang City, he found that the gate of Xiangyang City was closed, and the city walls were covered with archers, and the soldiers were ready.

Looking at the Xiangyang City with high and deep cities, Ma Xianglin, who had no siege equipment in his hands, had his head wide. He knew that this would be impossible to conquer Xiangyang City no matter what.

Their rapid attack was to attack the enemy's army, which was beyond the reach of reach, and the opponent was prepared and was ready for battle. It was impossible for merely two thousand cavalrymen to take down the Xiangyang City, which was waiting for the opponent's troops.

Ma Xianglin and others blurted out, saying that they were either calling the Chinese army cunning. When the two armies fought, they were doing everything they could to kill them. This was also a routine on the battlefield.

They scolded the Xiangyang City Prefect Fei Yangguang and others, and the generals and generals in the city. These people actually took down hundreds of thousands of people with eighteen people, and the military magnificent land was so powerful that the other party could take down the eighteen people.

When they launched a large-scale counterattack, they were bleeding from the bottom of Xiangyang City, and the casualties were extremely heavy. After so many people were killed and injured in Xiangyang City, they could not even touch the edge of Xiangyang City.

The cavalry of Ma Xianglin's army is the elite of the Ming army and is also the main force, but they are still light cavalry. The function of the light cavalry is to attack the weak links of the opponent, not to charge on the battlefield.

Don’t think that light cavalry is low-level. The Mongolian cavalry that dominated the world back then was mainly light cavalry. All their tactics were the pinnacle of the tactics of light cavalry, and the soul of light cavalry lies in speed.

Ma Xianglin also understood this. Seeing that the opportunity was not good, he immediately ordered the troops to retreat.

But when he retreated, he realized that the Mongolian cavalry was so powerful.

They stared at them like psoriasis. As long as they showed any point, even if it was a small flaw, their bows and arrows would look at the opportunity like poisonous snakes, shoot in, and hit the target.

When the two sides are fighting, once they are shot, they will basically fall off a horse and then die in battle.

When Ma Xianglin came, he was in a mighty manner, with more than 5,000 people, but after a long battle, the number of people was getting smaller and smaller. He had seen the power of the other party's tactics.

Ma Xianglin was very angry, but he was helpless. The other party was bullying you outside your range.

When Ma Xianglin commanded his cavalry and was about to retreat, the other party did not want to let them go easily. They immediately formed a formation and launched a pursuit of them, just like a pack of wolves hunting antelope.

This is called the enemy advancing and we retreating, the enemy retreating and we chase, and the enemy stationed and attacking, which made the Ming army unhappy. However, when the Mongolian army was pursuing, Ma Xianglin thought that the opportunity had come and immediately ordered his cavalry to start preparing for war and prepare to face the opponent's attack.

Ma Xianglin and the others were beaten by the other party for a long time, but they were pressed by the other party. They were very frustrated. They were thinking that if it was a head-on battle, they would definitely not be defeated so badly and would definitely be good-looking for the other party.

The other party hides like a mouse, and they have no choice but to jump out and fight, so that they can tell that they are powerful.

So Ma Xianglin immediately ordered his horses to form a formation to fight against the Chinese army.

This time, the Chinese cavalry did not dodge, but rushed over directly, but they still had the same old trick. After rushing into a hundred steps, their bows and arrows shot towards the enemy like raindrops, fierce and accurate.

However, the Ming army fought with them for a long time, which was considered to be aware of their way of fighting. They used their shields to protect the vital places around them and rushed forward bravely.

The Ming army believed that as long as they were allowed to get closer and the two sides fought together, they could win.

The two sides were very close to each other. Even with the power of the Mongolian cavalry, they could only shoot one arrow and they were about to fight.

Both sides quickly approached fifty steps.

But when both sides approached fifty steps, the Chinese cavalry became terror again. They took down grenades from their bodies and threw them over.

A large number of grenades fell into the ranks of Ming cavalry rushing towards them like raindrops, blowing them upside down, with heavy casualties.

The Mongolian soldiers used bows and arrows to attack, and they could use shields to protect the vital points, but when the other party threw so many grenades, they were unable to defend themselves, and they were blown up, with heavy casualties.

The originally aggressive Ming cavalry had a chaotic formation, and even Ma Xianglin could not control this chaos. They were like a huge storm, stabbing at the opponent, but the storm was directly shattered and cracked by the opponent with a grenade, and had no impact ability or attack ability at all.

At this moment, the Chinese cavalry rushed into the Ming cavalry team like tigers and wolves, rushing them to pieces, and then slashing and killing them in their formation to harvest the enemy's heads.

The frontal battle between the two sides ended with the victory of the Chinese cavalry. The Chinese cavalry broke through the Ming cavalry's ranks, rushing the opponent to the Xibalun and defeating the army, and then chopped and killed them to harvest the fruits of victory.

At this moment, even if the Ming soldiers were unwilling to admit it, they had to admit one thing. This is the combat effectiveness of the Chinese cavalry, which was very strong, far above them. Whether they were fighting light cavalry or charging into battle, they were not opponents of the other party.

The Chinese cavalry rushed into the Ming army formation, rushed left and right, like a wolf or a tiger, as if entering a nobody's land.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ma Xianglin immediately ordered his cavalry to escape from the battle and not to get involved with the other party.

But if you are bitten by the Mongolian cavalry, you will not retreat as soon as you want. The other party bit them tightly, expand the results of the battle, and kill them.

At this point, Ma Xianglin's cavalry was truly defeated. Before they set out, they were arrogant and thought that they might be able to take Xiangyang in one fell swoop. As a result, the cavalry of the Chinese army taught them how to behave. Before they even touched the edge of Xiangyang City, the other party was beaten to death.

Ma Xianglin led his cavalry and fled in a panic. After losing four or five hundred cavalrymen, he finally broke away from the battle.

When they retreated more than ten miles away, they realized that there were less than a thousand people around them. What was even more terrifying was their pioneer general Ma Xianglin. He rode a white horse, wearing silver armor, and a white robe. He was very outstanding and elegant, but at this moment he was very embarrassed. His white cloak had fallen off and his body was covered in dirt. What was even worse was that he was shot in his eyes, his face was covered in blood, and he looked very ferocious.

Ma Xianglin was seriously injured, but he still cheered up and led the soldiers to retreat.

After they left contact, the Chinese cavalry did not let them go, but began to chase them behind after shooting and killing the injured and outdated cavalry.

They did not rush up to chase the Ming cavalry, but they did not mean to let the other party go. They followed the other party tightly and stuck tightly. They wanted to shake but couldn't shake it, and they wanted to leave but couldn't.

The feeling is that when you are injured, a evil wolf will always follow you, peeking at everything about you, and attacking at any time.

You fled to the death, and he followed him. When you walked slowly, he followed him. When you showed your flaws, you rushed up and bit off your throat.

At this point, Ma Xianglin knew what it means to have heaven beyond heaven and there are people beyond man.

Before leaving, he was full of energy and promised Zhu Xieyuan that he would not return until he broke Xiangyang. Even if he couldn't take it, he could still deal a huge blow to the other party. Who knew that he was defeated so embarrassingly.

At that time, his mother once warned him that this is: "There are people outside of people, and there is heaven beyond the sky. When fighting, you must not underestimate the enemy."

In fact, in today's battle, Ma Xianglin could not be said to be underestimating the enemy. All the decisions he made were in line with the standards. No matter how many enemies there were, he arranged and responded in this way. However, the strength of the Mongolian army exceeded their imagination, and the opponent's various attack methods made them miserable and unable to deal with it.

This is what Liu Bu said, crushing the opponent with strength and tactics.

After defeating the opponent, the Chinese soldiers chased and bit the opponent. This put huge pressure on the Ming cavalry. They were not opponents and suffered losses under the opponents, so they could only retreat quickly.

It is actually very easy for a cavalry to escape, but it is a bit embarrassing to chase him.

The war horses of the Chinese army were basically Mongolian horses, tall and strong, with fast running speeds, far better than the Dian horses of the Ming army, so it was not easy for the other party to escape.
