When Wei He received the report of several scouts who had fled back in embarrassment, he was also surprised. His scouts were not weak in combat, and they were all the best in the army. In a group of ten, they faced off against the same number of opponents. Several people were killed and one was captured alive. Only a few people on the other side were injured and no one was killed. This fact made him confused. Could it be that the cavalry of the Eastern Expedition Army had already appeared in Langya? The cavalry of the Eastern Conquest Army is now famous all over the world. Its cavalry is mainly composed of Huns cavalry. Even the Donghu people lost their helmets and armor. How can Wei He, who is also a cavalry, not be deeply afraid? Immediately, he ordered the entire army to stop advancing and once again sent out scouts to investigate. However, this time, they were not in groups of ten. He sent out hundreds of people.

These hundreds of people were also extremely unlucky. They had only gone out for more than ten miles when they ran into more than 500 cavalry sent by Ding Wei to attract Wei He's attention.

The Eastern Expedition Army's infantry and cavalry are clearly divided. Among the infantry teams, only a small number of cavalry are equipped as scouts. However, Ding Wei is a division after all. The scouts of the entire division plus his personal guards can make up for it. There were more than 500 cavalrymen. When the two armies collided head-on, with only a few miles apart, the Qi army was shocked. They turned around and ran away.

The leading scout of the Eastern Expedition Army was a Huns named Sota. When he saw that his opponent was trying to escape and would not let him go, he gave a shout and started chasing after him. More than 500 cavalrymen behind him immediately accelerated and pursued him.

Whether it is the quality of the war horses or the riding skills of the cavalry, these scouts of the Eastern Army. They were far superior to the Qi army, but within a moment, Sota was already close to his opponent. Without saying a word, Sota drew his bow on his horse and fired. This horse-riding shooting is the special skill of the Huns. When the person is on the horse, the arrows are all fired. He shot three arrows in a row and knocked down three Qi soldiers.

And the scout behind him. Those who were good at riding and shooting followed Sota in firing their bows and arrows. Those who felt inferior in riding and shooting spread out their formation, surrounded them from both sides, surrounded their opponents and ate them in one breath. All my thoughts are taken in

You can't win if you run. Unable to escape, the more than a hundred Qi troops also made a determined decision. Amidst the shouts of the leading general, they made a small turn on their horses and rushed towards the cavalry of the Eastern Expeditionary Army who were surrounding them on the flanks.

Seeing that the enemy no longer just ran away, but turned around to face them, Sota was overjoyed and shouted. His excitement led to a series of Hun language popping out. Fortunately, the scouts around him had been getting along with him for a long time. He also understands some Xiongnu language, and knows that Sota wants to catch them all in one fell swoop and not let anyone go.

The Qi cavalry are equipped with long spears, which are almost the same as the black guards trained by He Lanyan, but above the ranks. But it was far from enough. He Lanyan felt that it was difficult to train a large-scale cavalry that could match the Donghu people. The cavalry army can only be trained in the form of infantry formations when attacking. Rows and rows of cavalry holding spears and halberds rolled over them like raging waves crashing on the rocks. What was needed was orderliness and grouping, minimizing the requirements for the soldiers' personal abilities. To put it bluntly, the black-clad guards were fighting against each other. When the Donghu cavalry

It’s just a matter of punching the old master to death. We won’t compete with you on skills, but on strength.

The Qi people were also equipped with long spears, but when they charged, they were in twos and threes. The distance between the teams was very wide. The combat effectiveness of the cavalry trained by He Lanyan was really different.

Suota had never seen the spectacular scene when He Lanyan commanded tens of thousands of cavalry to charge in formation in Hetao, but in Jishi City, many outstanding cavalrymen like him were captured by He Lanyan and served as the backbone of the four hundred black-clad guards at that time. Drilling the opponent, from the initial easy victory to the end of being beaten with bruises and broken legs. At first, I was shocked to see that the opponent was also equipped with a spear, but as soon as the opponent escaped, all his tricks were revealed.

Only then did he get the order to kill all his opponents.

These scouts are all equipped with sabers and crossbows. Guys like Sota also carry their own longbows. They are scouts anyway, and the dress code is not strict. Instead, they are encouraged to show their talents.

The two sides have not yet come into contact, but the chirping sound of the crossbow has already been heard. The crossbow seems to have a short range and low power, but it is more lightweight and easy to operate. In this world, only the Zhengdong Army has this equipment. Although Small, but complex in structure, but not something that can be made casually

After the three cavalry crossbows were fired, the two sides were already within ten steps. The remaining Qi army roared and stood up from their horses, raised their spears, and leaned forward like a poisonous dragon coming out of the edge. With the momentum of the horse, they stabbed straight towards Oncoming opponent

Then, they saw the real horse riding skills

The leader of the Qi army roared and thrust out his spear. On the training ground, he stabbed the wooden stakes with one shot many times until they broke apart, and stabbed the straw men into the air. They were as powerful as lightning and moved like thunder. He had always thought of his horsemanship and gun skills in this way. The cavalrymen of the Eastern Expedition Army on the opposite side were just small soldiers in terms of their costumes. He did not think that their opponents would be much better than the straw men with wooden stakes.

Then, the enemy in front of him suddenly disappeared. This inevitable shot actually hit an empty target. He was shocked. Before his second reaction could reach his mind, the disappeared enemy Suddenly it appeared from the side of the saddle again, and the two horses were intertwined. Before the spear wielder had time to withdraw, his opponent brushed against his body, and the tooth general passed by. He was thinking to himself that he was lucky, but suddenly he felt a numbness in his waist. It was cool. When he looked down, he saw that the leather armor had been cut open from the middle, and blood was spurting out from there. He reined in the horse, and the horse stood upright. The pain finally came at this time, and he screamed and fell off the horse. He came, but the war horse behind him trampled him down mercilessly, and stepped on his face with a hoof. With a porcupine sound, his whole head was trampled to pieces.

This group of Qi army cavalry saw the cavalry skills of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, but they were unable to tell what they knew and heard. After just one encounter, no one among the hundreds of people was still riding on the horse, and they were all killed. The opponent cut off the horse, but before they died, they witnessed their opponent's superb horse control skills and horse fighting. After all, their time as cavalry was not in vain.

Sota was very dissatisfied because he only had time to cut off an enemy's neck with a scimitar, and there was no enemy in front of him. Looking around, all he saw was his brother.

He patted his thigh with the blade of the knife in dissatisfaction, "This is so fucking rough, it's not satisfying!"

"Being clean and tidy is what you want. As for the enemy, the weaker the better!" A cavalryman said with a smile. Sota snorted. When he saw that the person speaking was the soldier beside Ding Wei, he couldn't hold back the spittle on his face. impulse

"How many of your brothers have been injured?" he shouted loudly. With an enemy of this level fighting five against one, he would feel a little shameless if someone died.

"More than a dozen were injured!" someone Gao Yuan replied

"Fuck you!" Suota cursed loudly in the Zhongyuan dialect he was most familiar with. "It's so fucking unlucky to be injured by this kind of enemy."

"It was not the enemy who was injured, but the war horse tripped and fell. Fortunately, the brothers at the back moved quickly and the distance between the two sides was large, otherwise they would have been dead! But they can no longer fight!" A scout explained loudly

Sota nodded. When cavalry fights, the most fearful thing is falling from the horse. In this case, let alone killing the enemy, if he is not hit and trampled to death by the horse, it will be regarded as having accumulated virtue for eight lifetimes.

"Give them horses and let them go find the main force on their own. Let's go meet the people for a while." Sota shouted, stirred up the horses, and ran forward. A dozen injured hapless guys rode on the battlefield to join the people. Those empty horses ran toward Guangping with a disappointed look on their faces.

Wei He did not wait for the scouts he sent out, but saw a large enemy cavalry force appearing in the direction where the scouts left. In his opinion, it should also be the other party's scout force, and it must have been the other party's general who received the scout. After reporting, he sent a small force to find out the enemy's reality. Five hundred cavalry could be sent out at one time to find out the enemy's reality. I was afraid that the enemy was not small in size. This guess shocked him. He knew it by looking at the opponent's appearance. The scouts sent out by our side were beaten by meat buns and dogs, and they never came back, because the opponent's army still had a lot of empty horses, which should be their spoils of war.

Thousands of cavalry were scattered all over the mountains and fields, and tens of thousands of cavalry were on the ground. Although Suota was from the Xiongnu, more than ten thousand cavalry gathered to attack. He had never seen it many times in his life, and suddenly saw so many Qi cavalry appear. In front of his own eyes, he was also startled, but remembering General Chen Wei and Chen's instructions, he could only grit his teeth and hold on. Instead of escaping, he stopped down with five hundred cavalry and watched the enemy from a distance.

The opponent's performance made Wei He's heart sink again. The enemy was emboldened, which could only mean one thing. Their scale was probably not inferior to their own, even if they had fewer people, they had full confidence in their combat effectiveness.

Looking back at our own troops, some had shocked expressions on their faces, while others were eager to try. They knew that if these cavalry were allowed to stay, it would inevitably have a negative impact on the morale of our own troops. They waved to a tooth general, "Take two thousand cavalry and give them to me." Drive these enemy sentries away"

"yes!"

Sota watched the opponent detach a troop from the overwhelming cavalry and charge towards him. When Dang even led his troops to retreat, his task was to attract the opponent's main force, not to rush into battle and die. With so many cavalry, even if he was With three heads and six arms, no matter how bad the enemy is, he only has 500 people. Even if he is tired, he can be exhausted to death.

The Qi army advanced, Sota retreated, the Qi army stopped, and Sota also stopped. Sota on the left and right knew very well that the horses under his crotch were not comparable to those of his opponents. When running, whether it was sprint speed or endurance, his own All have the upper hand

In fact, the war horses of the Qi army were also selected from the best in the Central Plains. However, compared to Suota, who was born and grew up on the prairie and was used to seeing good horses, those horses were just miscellaneous horses. Among the tribes, it is just a life of pulling carts and carrying grass.
