The armies of both sides are on the verge of breaking out. Before that, the commander of the Humang army said to Su He, the commander of the Tatar division in the army: "Today depends on your performance. The strength of your army is 6,100 people, and the opponent is 10,000 people, which is slightly insufficient, so I hand over the command of the heavy cavalry regiment to you is enough to make up for it. ”

"Commander, don't worry, if you can't win this battle, I'll see you." Su He said very confidently. With elite weapons in hand, and the three-three system of warfare and the tactics of the tip of the arrow, he really had nothing to fear in the face of 10,000 Tatar cavalry.

"Okay, the trumpeter is ready to listen to Commander Su's orders." Knowing that what should have been said had already been said, Hu Mang rode his horse and retreated to the side, completely handing over the command of the battlefield to the hands of Division Commander Su He. This is also what Yang Chendong taught, according to his meaning, no one can fight the world in a war, and the fighters on the battlefield are often fleeting, so the commanders on the front line are the ones who know the battlefield situation best, and they will go all out even if they are for their own lives. Unless necessary, no one should disturb the front-line commander's combat plan.

After getting the actual command, Su He was even more confident, and immediately shouted to the officers of the first division below: "Soldiers, this time will be our chance to prove ourselves, and then let's do our best, the opponent we fight doesn't even know their parents, okay?" ”

"Good!" Below came the loud voices of six thousand one hundred horsemen in reply.

"Haha, come on, blow the trumpet!"

Toot Too

The blood-boiling trumpet sounded, and at that moment 6,100 cavalrymen formed hundreds of arrows in platoons or companies, and galloped forward on horseback. Everyone's smoke and dust kept churning under their horses' hooves, like the water of the Yangtze River rushing away.

On the city of Taru, the sound of war drums also sounded, and after the 10,000 Tatar cavalry received the order, under the leadership of General Goyle, they also rushed forward. Unlike the mercenaries, they attacked on the left, the center, and the right.

On the top of the city tower, Ku Po'er himself stood there and commanded the battle. When he saw that the mercenaries were only out of 6,000 people, he couldn't help laughing, "The unequal strength has proven their failure, this time I will let these iron horsemen step on the corpses of the other party, and let them know who is the real overlord in this grassland!" ”

Ku Xiao'er's words are very domineering, and he also has a reason to be domineering. After all, when the Tatar Iron Cavalry was at its peak, it was difficult for the Warat and the Mongols to meet opponents, not to mention the numerical advantage, he really couldn't see any possibility of failure.

Compared with Ku Xiao'er's self-confidence, General Goyer, who was rushing forward on the war horse, had a flash of confusion in his eyes. He found that the mercenaries were charging in a form they had never seen before, which gave him a very bad feeling.

People always have a fear of unfamiliar things, and this is exactly how General Goyle feels at this moment. According to his meaning, he should first send one to two thousand troops to try the opponent's catties, but unfortunately, although he is a vanguard general, the command is not in his hands, so he has no choice but to charge with the army, and at the same time carefully observe the power of the opponent's battle formation.

Cavalry hedges, before the two sides meet, there is often a temptation to attack with a bow and arrow, in today's words, it is the time to put on a show.

Seeing that the two sides were rushing against each other, when they were about two meters apart, the bow and arrow attack of the front army began. While galloping on his horse, he kept casting his bow and arrows. If you are good at riding, you will also lie your whole body on the horse, which can maintain the stability of your body, make the shooting accuracy of the bow and arrow more accurate, and at the same time better protect yourself and reduce the possibility of becoming a target. There are also some skilled horsemen, who can also fall on the side of the war horse, take the opportunity to cover, and shoot long-range bows and arrows.

Archery riding is originally a technical job, and the strong can even achieve complete superiority in this first round of bow and arrow hedging, and defeat the opponent.

And it turned out that after the bows and arrows of both sides began to fire, at least more than 200 soldiers fell on their horses, and if you look closely, the losses of both sides are almost equal.

The bow and arrow didn't take advantage of the shot, and Goyle's face became even more ugly. He still believes in the level of bows and arrows of these cavalrymen in his hands, but there is no advantage in this way, he feels the pressure is great, and when he thinks of the difference in the opponent's charging formation, the power is still unknown, and the bad feeling is getting better and better.

What kind of power it is, Goyle can feel it in a moment. With two thousand troops on each of the left and right flanks, the number of cavalry in his central army was exactly equal to that of the Tatar division. This is equivalent to having no advantage, and when his six cavalry phalanxes collided with the oncoming Tatar divisions, the arrow tip formation began to exert its might, and more than two hundred sharp arrow tips suddenly pierced into the formed Tatar cavalry, and just one head-on confrontation disrupted four of the six formed phalanxes.

The cavalry did not have a phalanx, and once it was in a single attack posture, it would be equivalent to more than half of the advantage. When they can't echo each other and can't be crushed, where does the power of the cavalry come from?

"Puff puff..."

Blood splattered, and a Tatar cavalryman was in the middle of the arrow-sharp formation, unable to care about it. Often you just block the saber attacking from the left, and the blade on the right will appear again, and in the collision of Ding Dingdang, one will be injured by the knife, or even killed by the knife.

With the help of the battle array, the Tatar division suddenly gave birth to the feeling that the opponent was an enemy everywhere, an opponent everywhere, and a danger everywhere.

"Kill! Break through their battle formations, especially those who lead them, and besiege them! Feeling the power of the arrow, even Goyle was accidentally slashed in the chest, but fortunately he dodged fast enough, the saber did not pierce the armor, but it still startled him. When he entered it, he knew the terrible thing about this formation, and he kept shouting at the moment, and then thought that he had discovered the loophole in this battle formation, and concentrated his forces to kill the first person in that formation.

It is a formation that has a strong side and a weaker side. It's like there are many dead doors in the formation, and there are also life gates. Undoubtedly, the strength of the arrow tip formation lies in the leader, he is like a sharp knife tip, once it enters the hearts of people, it is the blade inserted, making people defenseless. And what if the tip of the knife is blocked, or even cut off? Presumably, the result will be different.

Goyle was a battle-hardened veteran and made adjustments as soon as possible, and then on the battlefield, the Tatar cavalry who heard the order rushed towards the tips of the arrows of the battle formation, and they looked like they were going to be beheaded at the price.

It's just that there are too many formations at the tip of the arrow, even if they make a lot of effort to cut off a sharp edge, other warriors can quickly choose a new knife tip, and there is still a three-three system formation available, which is a formation that can be formed by three cavalry, and the power between attack and defense can be expanded several times, making it impossible to guard.

It took a lot of effort, and the cavalry who were killed and wounded did not know how many, but did not get the result they wanted, but was scattered by the formation, and in a short period of time, the six thousand Tatar soldiers were divided into hundreds, and the number of casualties continued to increase.

Goyer, who was protected by his own soldiers, was also surrounded by the formation of four arrows, and he commanded the soldiers to cut off a knife tip, and then another knife tip was formed, seeing that he was in danger, he had no choice but to issue an order for the four thousand cavalry on the left and right flanks to come to the aid to maintain the balance.

Goyle was in the middle of the battle and was already panicking. But he forgot that although it was true that he was a vanguard general, there was another general who was much bigger than him and said more than him. At this time, Ku Bao'er had already seized the command of the battlefield, and he was in control of the beat of the war drums.

In ancient wars, soldiers generally relied on the beat of the drum to decide whether to move forward or retreat. In this regard, the mercenaries who command everything with the trumpet are no longer the same as them, they are more flexible, and they can even be said to be at the forefront.

Often, whoever controls the drum beats controls the army. For example, when charging, the war drums should be beaten to boost morale; When retreating, it will be called gold to make a retreat. On the tower of the city, Ku Xiao'er saw that the cavalry led by Goyle was pierced by the mercenaries, although his face was ugly, but he did not mean to send the cavalry on both wings to support, he still wanted to wait, waiting for the two sides to fight to a stalemate, and then send the remaining 4,000 cavalry, so that it could play a role in determining victory.

Just when he was still thinking about waiting and seeing, arousing the fighting spirit and potential of General Goyle, on the main battlefield, the mercenaries were grasping the initiative step by step, and with the help of the formation, more and more Tatar troops had been cut off from their horses; With the help of formations, often a Tatar cavalryman has to face sharp sabers coming from all directions, and it is simply impossible to defend against it.

The battle went unexpectedly smoothly, and the commander of the Su He division in the formation raised his saber again, and cut the target in front of him to the ground, taking this opportunity to take a look at the situation around him, and found that most of the rest were his own cavalry, and the enemy cavalry had become very few. Excited in his heart, he couldn't help but have greater ambitions, and when he saw that the enemy troops on both sides were still wandering, and he was still thinking about reaping the benefits, and he had not yet sent troops, he called Gu Shan, the commander of the first battalion under his command. "You attack to the east, I attack to the west, disrupt the enemy's position, and strive for a greater victory."
