Yuanyang City.

Yuanyang is one of the largest cities in Yunzhong, with a population of about [-], and it is the training base for cavalry.Surrounding them, there are cities such as Beiyu and Wuquan, which are the corners of each other, and they are important towns in the northeast of Yunzhong County.

The Xiongnu has a force of [-] cavalry here, in order to contain the force here and leave Yunzhong City isolated and helpless.

The terrain around Yuanyang is flat, with a vast grassland, suitable for farming and animal husbandry, but at this moment it has become a horse farm for the Hu people to gallop their horses.

Within a few days, the Xiongnu concentrated their forces and attacked Yuanyang City several times, but they were all unsuccessful.

For the Xiongnu, once Yuanyang City is captured, Beiyu and Wuquan will inevitably fall into a helpless situation, and it will only be a matter of time before they conquer it.

When the Xiongnu mastered these three cities, it was equivalent to obtaining a logistics base.While obtaining a large amount of supplies, it can also effectively deter the reinforcements from Yanmen County, Dai County and other places, making Yunzhong City completely a turtle in an urn.

Therefore, unlike the main force of the Huns who herded horses and herded sheep when they reached the border of Yunzhong City, this partial division of the Huns devoted all their strength from the beginning.

Cao Shen, magistrate of Yuanyang County, was plundered by Ying Ziyi from the land of abundance.

At first this group of people were still not convinced, but as time passed, they gradually became convinced.Cao Shen knew that Yuanyang was of great importance, so he put all his strength into defense from the beginning.

When the Xiongnu attacked the city, he personally stood on the city wall and commanded the crossbow troops defending the city to counterattack.

The large-scale use of crossbows is the most classic example of the imperial armament manufacturing system.

Unlike archers, crossbowmen require only simple training.A large number of crossbows and arrows manufactured from various weapon workshops can quickly flow into cities on various borders.The soldiers and civilians on the border have undergone long-term training. Once a large number of crossbows in the arsenal are distributed to each soldier and civilian, they can quickly form combat power.

In a big city like Yuanyang, the stockpile of crossbows and arrows in the arsenal is much higher than other cities.

Depending on the type, the power and rate of fire of the crossbow are also different.Generally speaking, crossbows fire slower than bows.The more powerful the crossbow, the rate of fire is often slow.However, on the walls of Yuanyang City, three human crossbowmen formed a group and switched between loading and shooting, which effectively made up for this deficiency.An effective firepower suppression was formed against the besieging Huns.

In other words, as long as there are enough crossbow arrows, Yuanyang City will not fall.

"This group of birdmen, this battle is really aggrieved."

Cao Shen was on the city wall, observing the camp of the Huns.A whining sound came into his ears.

Cao Shen didn't need to look, he knew who was coming?There is no one who has the courage to yell on this city wall, except Fan Kuai, the county lieutenant of Yuanyang, who is also from Pei.

Fan Kuai used troops, he likes to attack and doesn't like to defend. For the past few days, he has been living in the city, but he is very unhappy!

"Don't worry, I'm afraid something will change in a few days." Cao Shen reassured.

"Change, what change?"

"Your Highness's most elite Ghost Prison Cavalry has yet to appear on the battlefield!" Cao Shen let out a long breath and said meaningfully.

Fan Kuai's eyes lit up, as if he understood something.

"Look!"

At this time, a soldier pointed to the mountain pass in the northeast direction.Suddenly, a figure appeared in the distant land surrounded by clouds and mist.

"It's really here!" Fan Kui shouted loudly.

As those figures gradually approached, the vision was clear, and in the eyes of everyone, the black armored cavalry rushed like a tide above the vast expanse of the green field, and all of their faces were covered with permeable bronze ghost faces.

The Xiongnu troops outside Yuanyang City seemed to have also noticed this group of people, and they began to gather urgently.Including the two days of reinforcements, about [-] cavalry lined up in the northeast direction of the camp.

A look of doubt appeared on Cao Shen's face.

In today's world, cavalry is far from the mainstream in the army, and chariots still occupy a large proportion.Although the empire attaches great importance to the use of cavalry, it is only used as an auxiliary to cooperate with infantry.

But this Ghost Prison Youqi is different, its bright appearance is clearly provocative.

Viewed from a distance from the city walls, the Hun generals seemed to respond.

With a violent roar, the more than [-] cavalry began to charge in the direction of the Ghost Prison Youqi.

Above the field, the two groups of troops raised smoke and dust all over the sky, and even the defenders far away on the city wall of Yuanyang could feel the tremor of the earth.

The cavalry scattered, but the tactics of the assault were the same.

The Ghost Prison Youqi and the Xiongnu's war cavalry were approaching, and they changed their formation one after another, turning into a cone formation, preparing for the charge.

Different from the Xiongnu War Cavalry, the team of Ghost Prison Cavalry is more orderly, the interval between cavalry is almost the same, and the array is relatively open.

On the field, the two armies began to collide like two sharp knives.

It's just that compared to the Xiongnu war cavalry, the ghost prison ghost cavalry is sharper.

Hundreds of black-armored cavalry led by them rushed into the battle formation of the Huns with ring-headed long swords in both hands.

They didn't get entangled with the Huns' cavalry, nor did they care whether they had dealt with the Huns' war cavalry that came on the attack.What they did was to rush into the belly of the Huns' conical formation without hesitation, not caring about their own casualties, and not even worrying about whether the Huns' cavalry behind them would defend against cold arrows behind them.The formation of ghost prison ghost knights is relatively loose, or in other words, they deliberately left such a large gap to allow the Xiongnu warriors to seep in.

When marching in formation, generals often pay attention to the formation and the coordination between arms.Orderly combat can exert greater power.

But the cavalry is different. It is the nature of the cavalry to wander like the wind.Even if the conical array is set up for an assault, more attention is paid to the impact force, swarming up like a swarm, and after effectively killing the enemy, turn around and carry out the next wave of impact until the enemy's troops are dispersed.There is basically no cooperation between knights and knights.

But Ghost Prison Youqi is different.

Facing the rushing Xiongnu cavalry, the black-armored ghost-faced knight with a ring-shouldered sword in his hand missed his body and let him be dealt with by his comrades behind him. ?The knight behind him held a long lance in his left hand and stabbed it into the Huns' chest. Then he drew out the ring-sword with his right hand, pushed aside the blade of the other Hun cavalry, and left it to the comrades behind him.

One ring after another, trust and cooperation, the tactics that only appeared on the infantry were used on this cavalry.

"Is this the car suspension array?" Cao Shen said on the city wall.

"Car hanging array?"
