At the head of the huge Hezhou city, the marching horns were still sounding.
Xu Mu raised his head and stared straight ahead.
As soon as the city gate opened, he took the lead and rushed out with six thousand riders.
When the last rider left the city, the two huge city gates behind him suddenly slammed shut again.
The fire across the city gradually extinguished.
Xu Mu looked back at the city wall and saw that veteran generals Lian Yong, Yu Wen, and even many civilians who were delivering baggage were all looking at the 6,000 people with tears in their eyes, cupping their hands and clasping their fists.
"Follow me to kill the thief!" Xu Mu raised his arms and shouted, quickly pulling on the reins.
A horse on horseback jumped over the dying flames. It had just rushed out for less than half a mile, and the Di people's cavalry army, seeing the situation approaching, began to make a roundabout way with a loud voice and raised their horse bows.
"Throw kerosene."
There was no change in color at all, Xu Mu spoke calmly. Soon, with the throwing of cans of kerosene, a large fire suddenly started again, temporarily blocking the oncoming enemy cavalry.
"Brother Mu, I saw the army, I'll rush over as soon as I can!" Si Hu, who was shirtless, pointed at the army in front and shouted urgently.
Xu Mu shook his head. They used six thousand of their cavalry to charge and kill two to three hundred thousand enemy troops. They died without knowing how.
"Go west."
"Going to the west... there is desert land to the west, and the terrain is flat along the way." A veteran soldier with a little experience said in surprise.
In fact, the old soldier misunderstood Xu Mu's intention. He was not going all the way west, but taking a roundabout way to avoid the army in front.
The figures of the six thousand riders only followed Xu Mu's hurried reins, and the horses' hooves trampled very fast.
Countless enemy cavalry behind them, whose original order was only to cooperate with the infantry in attacking the city, finally had fun, shouting and shouting, and followed closely behind with their horses under their belly.
Looking out from the top of the Hezhou city, Yu Wen saw a shocking sight. On the muddy ground to the west outside the city, the difference between the front and back was less than two or three miles. It was as if his little general was being driven away all the way.
…
"Pick up the iron gun!"
Amidst the dust-filled sky, upon hearing Xu Mu's words, six thousand figures quickly reached out and grabbed the iron spear hanging under the horse's belly.
"General Xu, there are at least 40,000 to 50,000 cavalry behind you!"
The 40,000 to 50,000 cavalrymen were considered to be less than half of the enemy's cavalry force among the Di people's army. If they were closer, they would probably shoot horse arrows.
"Have no fear!" Xu Mu raised his head and looked at the scenery in front of him.
After choosing only one place, he took the lead and continued running.
"Three thousand people threw the cans of fire oil to the ground."
The biggest role of the fire oil tank is to temporarily block the enemy's footsteps.
"Stop the horses." Six thousand people rushed to a high ground. Under Xu Mu's command, they quickly turned their horses' heads and faced the fire ahead, as well as the tens of thousands of Di people who were arrogant behind the fire.
Enemy cavalry have already stepped through the flames, ready to cover up and kill them.
"Ten knights form a team, forming a cone formation. The one who is good at riding is the leader, so he should be the leader."
"Take an iron chain, connect ten horses to each other, and hook each other into the armor of the horse's belly."
The baggage in Hezhou City is not too much. The six thousand Di horses can only wear some thin-armor modified armor, which only covers the horse's neck and the smaller half of the horse's belly.
Not really a cavalryman.
But Xu Mu is already satisfied with the current situation.
Di Gou is ferocious and menacing, with a large number of people. With sophisticated siege equipment, if there is no accident, Hezhou City will be destroyed.
They can only think of ways to destroy the baggage of the Di army.
call.
Xu Mu took a breath and looked up at the Di cavalry in front of him, who had already rushed halfway.
The biggest difference when he came to this world was the knowledge stored in his mind. For example, now, taking advantage of the high ground, using a ten-horse chain formation, and using the iron armor on his body, it would definitely be a wave of killing.
But the chain horse is not without its shortcomings. After condensing the charging power of ten cavalry, the chain horse is certainly terrifying, but if any of the ten horses dies, it will be too late to untie the iron chain, and the remaining nine will be
Disaster followed.
Moreover, after being connected with iron ropes, the speed of the roundabout attack will be much slower. This is why Xu Mu needs to be a good rider.
"Fight the gun!" Xu Mu shouted angrily.
After the iron rope was connected, the figure on horseback quickly raised the iron gun with one hand and clamped it under his abdomen. These methods were taught by Si Hu.
Of course, Xu Mu will also keep an eye on him. To put it bluntly, these six thousand cavalry are the last trump card he can rely on.
"All you gentlemen, please hold your heads high! Look at Di Gou in front of you, relying on his bow and horse, burning the mountains and rivers of my Central Plains and taking away the women of my Central Plains."
"If you can't bear it, what should you do?"
"kill!"
Xu Mu raised his hands angrily and pointed condescendingly at the tens of thousands of Di cavalry approaching. Among them, there were even many centurions and thousands of captains, who spat and shouted at them.
"The whole army forms an array and crush Di Gou! Those who fall from the horse are respectfully invited to die!"
…
"Ten cavalry as a team, interconnected by iron cables? What is this?"
Tuoba Zhao, who just arrived on horseback, sounded a little funny.
Throughout the ages, this stupid method has never been heard of. Even the best horse can't gallop and rush when it is restrained by iron ropes.
Cavalry warfare is about coming and going like the wind. For example, the people of the grassland use running and shooting tactics to kill the victors and throw away their helmets.
"It is not unreasonable that the people of my grassland empire can kill so many people in the Central Plains that they dare not stand in their way."
Tuoba Zhao shook his head, "Not to mention the past hundred years, even if we push forward three to four hundred years, when the Central Plains Dynasty was at its peak, they did not dare to fight with me, Beidi, with an army of riders. How dare the little boss?
of?"
"It's a bit stupid. I saw before that he actually let people wear thick armor to ride horses. The art of riding is all about mobility. Thick armor, coupled with the chain of ten riders, it is really stupid to the extreme."
"Ten horses in a chain, why not call a fool a chain horse?" Huang Daochun, who was beside him, also had a happy face.
Only Zhao Qingyun, who was holding the reins, suddenly became silent. Among so many people, he was the most familiar with Xiaodongjia. Things that others couldn't do, inexplicably, sometimes Xiaodongjia could do.
…
"Lance pointed!"
The heads of the leading ones all suddenly turned red, roaring angrily at the charging enemy cavalry, and took the lead to cover up and kill them.
The whole space between heaven and earth seemed to be shaking. The rapid trampling of horse hooves was like the roar of the rising tide, which hurt people's ears.
The two sides were fighting each other at such a terrifying speed. There were even many idiots riding on the enemy who did not change their scimitars and continued to shoot their horse bows blankly.
Nearly four thousand soldiers in iron armor and ten cavalry were connected with iron ropes. It didn't take long to meet the charging enemy cavalry.
Pong.
Hundreds of the fastest-running Di people screamed in shock as they were hit by a chain of ten horses in the front line and were thrown into the air. They and their horses were thrown far away.
To facilitate the roundabout shooting, the Di cavalry did not form a formation, but only charged forward in scattered directions.
"Stab Di Dog to death!" An old pawn who was good at riding thrust his long spear forward like crazy.
His silver hair fell away, and then the gun shot out like a dragon.
Behind him, the roaring figures of Jiuqi also thrust out their spears.
As soon as more than a hundred enemy knights made contact, there were sounds of falling horses one after another. Along with this, there were stunned exclamations from the Di people.
"Owl thief!" the old soldier who was good at riding roared.
A shouting Di people captain had his head crushed in an instant under the charge of ten knights.
