Sweep the World

The cavalry who are cruising on horseback can persist for at least a few days without dismounting their horses. They eat, drink, pull, scatter, and sleep on horsebacks. When encountering enemy troops, they can look for opportunities to give them heavy blows. This is a cavalry.

It’s hard to stay on horseback for a long time, can’t stand eating, drinking, pulling, spreading, or sleeping on the ground. When you get to the battlefield, you can only dismount and fight. This is actually an infantry on horseback.

In many cases, the Central Plains Dynasty did not have infantry in the true sense. Most of them relied on the feet of war horses to drive on their way, and waited to dismount their horses to fight on the battlefield. Or they can’t maintain long-term cruising on horseback, and they can’t be called a qualified cavalry at the height of the horse to stay in place.

Combining the power of the whole country of Han, Liu Yan only organized seven standing cavalry corps, which were also divided into elite and ordinary. The Tiger Ben Army, the Habayashi Army, and the First Standing Cavalry Army can flexibly change their formations in wartime, can stand the long-awaited on horseback, and have enough endurance to fight the enemy after several days of rushing on horseback. , Can be regarded as elite. Most of the second to seventh standing cavalry armies can also be long-awaited on horseback, but they cannot change their formations flexibly in wartime, so they can only be regarded as ordinary standing armies.

This time Xie Ai’s solitary army went deep into the grassland and was the first standing cavalry corps. The number was only about 10,000. That’s because the cavalry corps had been fighting in the north for a long time. Keep it in full editing state.

In fact, anyone who knows military will understand that an army that has been in a state of war for a long time cannot be fully staffed at all times. Only some new troops will be fully staffed.

Xie Ai didn't know the Imperial Guard very well, and his preliminary understanding was that he knew that he was not afraid of death, the strength and replenishment speed of the imperial guard, and so on, because it was the first time that the relationship between command and control still needed to be explored.

There are already two thousand Imperial Guard cavalry at war with the coalition forces, and the grass is trampled on by horseshoes and billowing dust. It is actually difficult to observe how the battle is going when you stay outside.

The two armies are looking at each other about five miles apart, which is equivalent to only a narrow five-mile space reserved in the middle to fight.

The two sides stayed in the rest of the army, unanimously moving the long-range army to the front, as long as it is not our army close to it, it will be diffused. In this way, the space for activities of the two warring armies has been compressed.

The wind is not blowing on either side of the two armies standing still, so it has no effect on the two armies. They are only in the probing stage now, waiting for one side to figure out the other's combat power, and the situation will definitely change.

"We have a lot of soldiers." Murong Jun pointed to the direction of the wind blowing: "It is completely possible to take advantage of the wind."

"This is not far from Rouran Mountain." Tuoba Shi Yijian said dullly: "At least you must first entangle the Han army, and then seize a favorable position."

They were all cavalry, and the Baili Road on flat terrain was a short half-day journey to the cavalry. The battlefield was indeed a little closer to Rouran Mountain. If the Han army was docked to survive, they would definitely be able to withdraw to the mountainous area. What the multilateral coalition wants is to fight the Han army in a flat and open area, not to fight in the mountains after having the advantage of the cavalry.

The probing troops sent by both sides are about to show results. It is because the coalition forces have more and more cavalry withdrawing to the original formation. Only when one party loses in the billowing dust will a similar situation occur. To put it simply, most of the teams fighting in the squad were killed in battle, and the remaining few would be sent to death if they stayed. It would be foolish for the cavalry to be able to withdraw or not.

Xie Ai, the commander of the Han army, couldn't see the situation clearly because of the dust and smoke. He only knew that the battlefield was moving more and more toward the enemy's position, presumably because his army had gained an advantage in the battle.

In the billowing dust, the coalition forces with the Di cavalry as the majority, the Zhang Liang army on the right wing actually faced collapse before they fought, and it was the Tuoba army that could not support them first.

Zhang's Liang army was relatively weak. They were originally going to cruise the formation. The Han army was the Di Ren cavalry who went straight to the middle army, but the Han army suddenly turned to the right in the middle. The commander of Zhang’s Liang army was surprised that the Han army was able to make roundabouts on the high-speed gallop. The formation of the Han army was not chaotic during the roundabout. He wanted to avoid but found that he would be cut off in the middle. Greeted him with his scalp.

Of course, the Zhang Clan’s Liang army brought to the grassland by Zhang Chonghua is considered to be an elite, and the Zhang’s Liang army’s elite are actually troops transferred from the Western Regions. Regardless of equipment or combat power, having a heart to fight is a must.

Before the battle, the two thousand Zhang’s army yelled "Oh!", the lancers in the front row steadily put down their lances, which are about five meters in length, and the cavalry in the back is the body that should be prepared to dodge arrows as much as possible. Close to the horse's back, it should be the bow that is ready to shoot the arrow.

The Han troops who set their targets on Zhang’s Liang Army were all turbulent cavalry. To put it bluntly, they were wearing armor with a group of armours, holding a brittle wood spear and a small round shield, and their back-up weapons also had a straight blade similar to a ring-headed sword. The knife did not carry a long-range attack weapon, and the war horse was equipped with a vest on its predecessor. They held a wave of arrows first, and ran into the Lancers of Zhang's Liang Army in silence. Of course, there was a burst of screams, screams, and screams.

The conflict between the two armies quickly penetrated each other. One thousand and five hundred Han Tushou cavalry lost about 70 or 80 horses, and two thousand Zhang's Liang army lost more than five hundred horses.

The battle loss ratio was more than five to one, and Zhang's army general, who quickly noticed the gap, felt cold in his heart.

It was just a mutual rush, a face-to-face loss of a quarter of the troops. Everyone in Zhang's Liang army who discovered this was hesitant or fearful. After all, this is more than one-tenth of casualties, and even the elite army will lose more than 30% of casualties.

On the other side of the Tuoba army, they approached the archers of the Han army as they wished. The problem is that they are only close. Whenever the distance between each other is not more than a hundred steps, they will be instigated by the archers of the Han army. "A wave of arrows is coming.

The horn bow carried by Tuoba's army had a range of less than a hundred steps. Even if a single person could shoot a hundred steps, the arrows shot out were soft and fluttering and couldn't kill people at all. They tried again and again to get closer to the Han archers. In the process of their attempts, arrows were shot down. Regardless of whether they were in a group or surrounded by a team, the three thousand people were shot endlessly anyway, chasing after themselves and losing confidence, so they didn't intend to chase, but instead they were caught by the Han archers by the tail and shooting continuously.

In the country built by the Hu people, apart from some trump card troops, otherwise there is no iron armor at all. Some thick sheepskin jackets or regular leather armors are too ineffective for defensive arrows. First, they reduce their personnel during the chase. He was caught again by his tail and shot and killed him. It was only a quarter of an hour before he folds in six or seven hundred, forcing them to completely break into pieces.

The friendly forces on the left and right wings were abolished one after another. As the main force, the Di Ren cavalry did not do nothing during the period. They repeatedly tried to intercept the Han army fighting, and finally they did what they wanted. It was only the Zhang Liang army and the Tuoba Dai army. Lost the confidence to fight and became an audience.

Diren are the old opponents of the Han army. The number of times they were slaughtered by the Imperial Guards was only slightly less than that of the Qiangs. In fact, they still had some courage to face the standing army of the Han. The Guards who are very capable of fighting, really have to fight it from the bottom of their hearts before starting to fight.

After a series of battles, the two thousand imperial guards in the battle waited for a charge against the Di cavalry. There were less than one thousand Turkmen, but the five hundred archers hadn't lost a single one. The loss is more than a quarter, and even the most elite army should be unwilling to fight at this moment. The problem is that this situation will not happen in the Imperial Guard. The physical strength may be very exhausted, but it is absolutely impossible to fear death. .

One side is guilty in his heart, and the other is not afraid of death. What kind of mentality the fighting army will show what kind of momentum. In fact, a large part of the army's momentum before the fight will determine the final victory or defeat.

Thousands of cavalry directly collided with each other, and five hundred archers were divided into two teams to shoot arrows on the left and right wings. The battle with the Di cavalry was only a round of penetration, and the victory and defeat were really distinguished. The majority of the Di cavalry remained. Fleeing to the main formation in all directions, the prelude to this engagement ended.

The first tentative battle came to an end. Two thousand guards only returned less than eight hundred to fight, and about 6,000 allied troops returned when they fought 10,000. Whether in the order of retreat or in terms of battle damage ratio, there is no doubt. It was the Han army who won.

When Xie Ai raised his arms when the victorious Guards returned, he shouted "Wan Sheng". What was more embarrassing was that only a few people such as Li Hong responded. One of the Guards was like a sculpture. Quiet.

Those who returned to the battle formation of the Imperial Guard, they walked to their original positions in silence. If you observe, you can see that many of them are injured.

"Medical craftsman!" Xie Ai felt that the embarrassment at that moment was nothing. It was the Imperial Guard who loved so much that he could fight but would not complain: "Hurry up and get medical treatment!"

There is no doubt that the Imperial Guard is an army that makes normal people uncomfortable no matter how they get along. They talk simply, don’t have the concept of friends or robes, and don’t have much entertainment at all. No one has ever said that they are from Where it comes from, ideals and so on are absolute luxury.

When facing the Janissaries, the enemy will have all kinds of negative emotions. Although friendly forces will be unaccustomed to getting along with them, they will have a full sense of security.

The existence of the Imperial Guard in Han is a force that fights in the front and retreats in the back. Any friendly army that has cooperated with the Imperial Guard will have no negative comments on those colleagues who are used to being silent and difficult to make friends.

"General!" Li Hong's face was excited: "Let's attack! Initiate a total attack, 30,000 vs. 120,000, it's not that there is no chance of winning!"

Xie Ai was looking at the enemy army on the opposite side. The multi-ethnic coalition was constantly mobilizing, and immediately ordered: "Seize the limelight!"

Do you know what it means to be like an arm? Just what instructions were given, the next moment he would respond immediately, the swift guards made Xie Ai dumbfounded, and then his heart was filled with satisfaction.

[Commanding such a troop...] The smile on Xie Ai’s face is brilliant: [It's really so comfortable! 】

The mobilization of the multi-ethnic coalition forces was that Bati wanted to retreat, and Murong Jun first opposed and demanded to take the limelight, and then Tuoba Shi Yijian, Zhang Chonghua, Fu Hongfu and Murong Jun's opinions.

Bati was somewhat frightened by the combat power displayed by the Han troops in front of him. He just got a report. The previous Han troops who were cruising in battle killed more than 13,000 people. Rouran can get it. There were only more than 500 dead soldiers in the Han army.

[This your mother...] Bati had to be afraid: [Han army is so fierce? 】

The Han army had the habit of taking away the robes of war dead, and the person reporting to Bati did not make it clear, making him think that the Han army had killed more than 13,000 people on his side with a loss of about 500.

[It seems something is wrong? Bati ignored the kings who were still trying their best to make suggestions, and thought a little dazedly: [The Han army should have dispatched two thousand just now, but only about one thousand returned? Xianbei and others dispatched 10,000, but returned more than 6,000? 】

When calculating the casualty data, there will basically be a gap between the two sides. That is for one's own side to count, but for the other side can only rely on guessing.

Bati was really a little dazed. He began to wonder if Rouran was as strong as he understood. Why Rouran could only kill five hundred Han troops when he lost 13,000, while the rest of the races could lose about 4,000. Kill a thousand or so Han troops?

"Hurry up and make a decision!" Murong Jun was annoyed when he saw that Ba Ti had been in a daze: "You are a fool on the battlefield to be able to do it!"

Murong Yanguo is in the stage of rapid rise. In the early days, they would fight whoever wanted to fight. The victory after war gave them a kind of confidence that "we are very strong". It was the stalemate and defeat in the recent battle with the Han army. However, Overall, I still feel strong.

When people have the confidence to speak, they dare to speak loudly and hard, especially when facing people that they don’t look up to, they will subconsciously feel "insulting what's wrong with you" subconsciously, and even "dissatisfied? Then stand stabbing". Kind of unscrupulous.

"You want to fight~www.wuxiamtl.com~you fight." Bati didn't care about Murongjun's attitude: "That's your war, I won't play anymore!"

After finishing talking, regardless of the stunned kings, he greeted the left and right to issue a series of orders. The general meaning was: the Han army was a bit too sharp, we can't play with the Han army, the wind is screaming!

"This, this..." Zhang Chonghua was completely dumbfounded, and pointed to Ba Ti who was riding away in disbelief: "They... They... are like this?!"

"The Rouran people are really Rouran people!" Murong Jun was also stunned, and yelled after reacting, "Don't froze, run with the troops!"

Tuoba Shi Yijian and Fu Hong didn't react slowly at all, and they ran wildly before Murong Jun had finished speaking.

On the other side, Xie Ai, who was in motion, was already mentally prepared to fight for the limelight, but when he looked around, he found that something was wrong.

"Human is going to flee?" Xie Ai couldn't understand it completely, but he didn't delay at all: "The achievement of immortality is at this moment! The whole army! Chase! Kill!"
