The Liaodong iron cavalry shouted in unison, and the momentum was astonishing. They rode their horses and rushed towards the oncoming northwest cavalry.

Four thousand cavalry came out in a swarm, but they seemed to be swarming when they charged, but they quickly arranged their formation in the process of rushing, uneven and orderly.

The northwest iron cavalry on the opposite side has also accelerated the sprint, and the soldiers and horses of both sides are like boulders flying out, gradually approaching.

The northwest cavalry on the opposite side saw the opponent rushing, and there was no disturbance in the slightest. The leader was a black helmet and a black armor, holding a big knife, but it was Gu Liangchen, the general under Chu Huan's command. The general in question was holding a rare hammer gun in his hand, and it was Qin Lei.

Both sides rode fast, Xu Chang took the lead. Seeing that the distance between the two sides was within an arrow, he swung his sword and shouted: "Let the arrow!"

And Gu Liangchen also ordered to release the arrows almost at the same time.

For a moment, feathers and arrows were like locusts, criss-crossing the sky.

The cavalry on both sides charged and protected themselves and their horses at a clever angle. Liaodong iron cavalry had been trained on horseback for a long time, and they were proficient in bow and horse. However, the northwest cavalry had also been trained for a long time. After the first round of arrows, neither side suffered heavy casualties.

Seeing this, Xu Chang was a little surprised. Although he had heard the name of the Northwest Cavalry, he had never seen it in person after all, and he always felt that the reputation of the Northwest Cavalry was exaggerated. After all, the opponents the Northwest Army faced before were all Mainly on foot and cavalry, they have never fought against real cavalry regiments. Naturally, cavalry has the upper hand against infantry, so this is famous.

Now seeing that the enemy's cavalry is proficient in bow and horse, they are obviously not inferior to the Liaodong cavalry, but they are also a little surprised. After a round of arrows, Xu Chang turned around and hooked the saddle with his feet. Bow and arrow, draw the bow and set the arrow, and shoot the second round of long arrows at a speed faster than ordinary people.

The Liaodong cavalry followed suit one after another. This trick was very fancy and dazzling, and the angle of the arrow was lowered downwards, making it more difficult to deal with. After Xu Chang shot the arrow, a sneer appeared on his lips. Cavalry, such a difficult movement, they naturally can't do it.

The long arrows are tricky and have weird angles, coupled with the excellent shooting skills of the Liaodong cavalry, they were dazzled for a while.

However, Gu Liangchen had already swung his saber, and the northwest iron cavalry spread out like a tide. One team turned into two rows, pinching left and right, and released a round of long arrows.

The tricky long arrows of Liaodong soldiers are actually taking horses and not people.

As a regular iron cavalry hero with rare opponents in the world today, the Liaodong iron cavalry not only has excellent combat quality, but also explored a set of practical skills against the enemy.

Shooting people first shoots horses, which is an effective means of dealing with enemy cavalry.

At the beginning, the Liaodong cavalry often invaded the territory of Goryeo, and Goryeo also organized a large number of cavalry to block them. In all honesty, the combat quality of the Goryeo cavalry was not weak, but every time they confronted the Liaodong cavalry, they were defeated. The reason is, It is this set of methods of fighting the enemy that has played a big role.

The Goryeo cavalry are all armored, with thick protective gear, and long arrows are hard to hurt. Even if they hit a target, if they miss a vital point, it is difficult to cause fatal damage with the protective gear blocking them.

Chi Liandian saw this at the beginning, and specially trained the Liaodong cavalry to shoot and kill the opponent's horses. Without the horses, the power of the cavalry was greatly reduced, and they were left to be mermaids.

Xu Chang was a fierce general who fought against the Goryeo cavalry back then, and he was very familiar with this routine, and at least half of the cavalry behind him had undergone this kind of training, so when Xu Chang made a move, the cavalry behind him knew Xu Chang The intention, such as concocted.

It was only this time that Xu Chang discovered that the methods that were invincible in the past seemed to be useless today.

The northwest cavalry had obviously been prepared for a long time. Not only the cavalry had thick armor, but even the horses were armed. When the long arrows hit the horses, many of them could not be shot at all, but the northwest horses had special leather armor in front of them. Although the northwest cavalry is only light cavalry, Chu Huan and Pei Ji have already done research on the protection of the northwest cavalry. When they were in Yunshan Fucheng, they had already worked with local master craftsmen to secretly make simple light armor protection. Some key points were protected to reduce the damage during the charge. At the beginning, this was not aimed at the Liaodong iron cavalry, but was ready to fight against the barbarian cavalry. These protections were originally for dealing with the barbarian cavalry. It has been passed down all the time, but it has come in handy today.

The teams of both sides arrived when they said it, and the two teams were wrong, and they all used bows and arrows to confront each other. Hiss, there is me in you, and you in me, but the speed of the galloping horses does not decrease. During the galloping, the fast ones draw their knives and slash, and some even stab straight at the opponent with a bow and arrow in their hands.

Both sides are good horses, and the time for one mistake is not long, but each has its own damage. In comparison, the Liaodong Army is used to maintaining formation and has a very low degree of freedom, while the Northwest Army is obviously prepared long ago. After that, the Liaodong Army suffered hundreds of casualties, while the Northwest Army also suffered five or sixty casualties.

The first confrontation between the two sides failed to achieve the desired results. Xu Chang frowned, thinking that he could completely smash the Northwest cavalry into pieces and scattered them with such a charge, but before the opponent made contact, they were completely out of control. Scattered, scattered but not chaotic, the Liaodong cavalry could not achieve the desired effect at all, but Gu Liangchen did not mess up the opponent's formation because of this. After the miss, the Liaodong cavalry still maintained a very neat formation.

As the charge was about to end, both sides reined in their horses, and the horsemen stood up, singing and dancing effortlessly in the boundless snow.

In the sound of the order, the cavalry on both sides reacted extremely quickly. They turned their horses' heads, turning the rear team into the front team, and immediately launched a counterattack.

If the Northwest Army is like a torrent of iron cavalry, with momentum like a rainbow and surging, then the Liaodong iron cavalry is undoubtedly as firm as ice, going straight, fast and powerful.

In fact, this is the first real confrontation between the two armies, and they have a preliminary understanding of each other's depth.

The tactics of the Liaodong Army are simple, clear and neat, but such tactics are based on the overall strict discipline and the superb equestrian skills of individual soldiers.

Gu Liangchen still ordered the soldiers and horses to spread out in the shape of a big horn, instead of concentrating their forces to fight recklessly, but to use the big horn formation, and then make a big circle to pass around the Liaodong cavalry.

Feathered arrows swish, the formation is like water, the will is like ice, but the actions executed are ruthless, and the long arrows are all over the sky, unequivocally.

Although the soldiers and horses on both sides come and go, come and go, and there are many tricks, the Northwest Army obviously did not fight against the Liaodong Army in any substantial way. The distance between the teams was not completely widened, it was like a pack of wolves circling around a ferocious tiger.

Xu Chang was annoyed, but even more impatient. He could guess right away that this group of cavalry didn't really rush to fight, but their purpose was obviously to pester the Liaodong cavalry so that they had no time to climb Huangling. It was felt that the main army of the Northwest Cavalry blocking the back road was rapidly approaching.

At this time, the Liaodong Army has the upper hand in terms of strength, but it is undoubtedly a dream to eat up this cavalry before the main force of the Northwest Cavalry arrives.

The bows and arrows of the Liaodong soldiers are sharp, the Northwest Army is not bad, the Liaodong soldiers have strong horses, the Northwest Army’s horses are not inferior at all, the Liaodong soldiers’ equipment is not weak, and the Northwest Army’s equipment is even more sophisticated. However, it is better than the Liaodong Army. The long arrows come and go, and the Northwest Army goes around in circles to attack the Liaodong Army.

The Liaodong Army maintains a strict formation, forming a whole, and responds freely from front to back, but because of this, the entire formation must not have the slightest loophole. For the Liaodong soldiers who strictly enforce military orders, maintaining a strict formation will greatly constrain them. The hands and feet are not as free as the northwest cavalry.

For a while, the Northwest Army, which was at a disadvantage in strength, seemed to have the upper hand on the scene.

Xu Chang was anxious. He wanted to order the whole army to disperse several times and fight with the Northwest Cavalry. If it was just the two thousand cavalry in front of him, this order had already been passed down, but he was always afraid of the main force of the Northwest Cavalry who was about to rush over. , If the formation is chaotic and the main force of the northwest cavalry arrives, the melee will form a group, and the Liaodong reinforcements will fly over without wings. The four thousand Liaodong cavalry will probably all be buried here.

In desperation, he had no choice but to order soldiers and horses to confront the enemy while approaching Huangling. Although the Northwest Army seemed to have the upper hand on the scene, it was never able to actually attack. The Liaodong Army fought side by side. Let's go, in fact, they are not far from Huangling, but this section of the road is extremely difficult. Although the two sides suffered few casualties, the entanglement of the Northwest Army made the Liaodong Army extremely uncomfortable.

According to Xu Chang's temper, not to mention that the enemy's troops are at a disadvantage now, even if the Northwest Army's troops are far superior to his own, once he reaches such a uncomfortable position, he will definitely fight with all his strength, and he will never be the slightest cowardly, but After all, he has followed Chi Liandian for many years, has seen too many battles, and knows very well about military matters, and he must never act on his own will. A wrong decision often costs the lives of hundreds of people.

He dared not risk the lives of four thousand cavalrymen.

Seeing that the Liaodong iron cavalry had approached the foot of Huangling, Gu Liangchen suddenly had someone blow a horn. The northwest cavalry who had been surrounding the Liaodong army shouted in unison, and then quickly assembled into a team. Quickly break away from the battlefield and head west.

Seeing the northwest cavalry forming a team in an instant, Xu Chang was secretly shocked. He knew that this cavalry was far more powerful than what he had seen just now, but he was a little puzzled when he saw them leave the formation suddenly, but the situation was urgent. , Without thinking too much about it, he ordered the entire army to quickly withdraw to Huangling and occupy this high ground.
