The 3,000 cavalry led by Wei Chi Jingde were already very different from the bandits a year ago, not only after strict formal training, and earth-shaking changes in armor and weapons and equipment, but also in terms of tactical tactics.

At the request of Wang Junlin, the 3,000 men were divided into ten detachments, each detachment of 250 people, each detachment was divided into five rows, each row of 50 people, the first two rows used only spears, the middle two rows were the second row of boring palladium, the last row was a thick-backed waist knife, and the cavalry with a waist knife was also equipped with a repeating crossbow.

This is the first real combat operation after the cavalry tactics and equipment under the command of Wang Junlin have undergone large-scale changes, the cavalry is still the king of war in this era, and the strong mobility and impact force determine the initiative on the battlefield, even if the infantry is strong, it can only win in the city, and it is already the limit to be undefeated in the field battle with the cavalry.

Wang Junlin knew very well that the cavalry must emphasize dense formations and strict discipline like infantry in order to maximize its combat strength, and individual bravery was no longer important in such a system. However, in addition to giving high hopes to these 3,000 cavalry, Wang Junlin was still full of expectations for Wei Chi Jingde.

Throughout history, European cavalry tactics followed this path and continued to evolve along this path, resulting in a modern cavalry system that eclipsed all the once glorious nomadic cavalry. Wang Junlin is equivalent to making the cavalry tactics of a thousand years later appear in this world in advance.

This cavalry unit of only 3,000 men has been training for more than a year, and they have consumed more than 10,000 infantry, and the daily training is an intensive queue charge, Wei Chi Jingde knows this very well, and as the commander of this cavalry, he needs a chance to prove himself.

In the distance, the dense cavalry of the Goguryeo people emerged from the hills, and they had already spread over the hillside, and more and more Goguryeo cavalry joined the battle with the rangers of the special operations battalion.

The Goguryeo front army rangers are obviously elite, they flexibly control the horses to and fro, and from time to time they gather and scatter with a cavalry bow to attack Zhang Tiangang's special operations battalion reconnaissance cavalry, the riding bow bowstring rings from afar, Zhang Tiangang's reinforced special warfare reconnaissance cavalry also rushed to the battlefield, and the rapid launch speed gives them a great advantage, coupled with the strong combat power of the melee combat, the cavalry of the Goguryeo people is not the cavalry opponent of the special combat team at all, and there are constantly Goguryeo cavalry falling off their horses, but occasionally the cavalry of the special combat team is surrounded and killed by the Goguryeo, The battle on the battlefield was extremely fierce.

"This is the strength of the Goguryeo cavalry, it is worthy of the country that has been fighting for decades, Yang Guang's expedition was defeated in history, in addition to Yang Guang's personal reasons and internal factors in the Great Sui, the Goguryeo army is also strong is also a reason!" Wang Junlin thought as he watched the battle.

After the rear of Goguryeo approached, the number of scouts and cavalry of the special combat team under Wang Junlin was too small, so they began to fight and retreat, and the two sides fought lively, and the losses were not small.

Wang Junlin looked carefully with a telescope, and forty or fifty Goguryeo people died, but five or six of the reconnaissance cavalry of the special combat team also died.

Most of these five or six people were shot down on their mounts and then chased by a group of cavalry on the other side, wounded by the fire, and then hacked to death in a circle. The remaining dozens of scouts of the special combat team were very passive because of the difference in numbers, and they were retreating towards the main formation, and the distance was only one mile, and the Goguryeo rangers were chasing after them, constantly harassing them with their riding bows.

At this time, the cavalry of Goguryeo all crossed the mountain in the north and showed it in front of Wang Junlin, in addition to the rangers, there were still more than 3,000 people, and they also found the Sui army formation here, and began to set up two miles away, the horn sounded constantly, and it seemed that they were preparing for a battle.

Sure enough, Wang Junlin's victory over the other party at sea did not make the other party feel afraid, on the contrary, the other party may be holding his breath and waiting to take revenge on land.

Wang Junlin sandwiched the belly of a blood-maned horse, and the wind generally came to the side of the three thousand cavalry, Wei Chi Jingde was waiting for the order, but he didn't expect that Wang Junlin would come in person, he was a little excited and said: "My lord, give the order!" Look at the humble position and take Erlang to kill all these Goguryeo people today. ”

Wang Junlin pointed ahead and said, "I came here in person to emphasize to you again, you must not be reckless, you must pay attention to the tactics of peacetime training to win this war." ”

Cavalry combat is impermanent, the commander does not have the preferential treatment of the infantry battalion commander, they must follow the soldiers forward, often have to command in the front row nearby, and personally confront the enemy, so they become the target of the opponent's key attack, the danger of each battle even exceeds that of ordinary cavalry, but Wang Junlin knows that Wei Chi Jingde is superior in strength, and a divine power, not worried about his safety, he is afraid that Wei Chi Jingde will kill up, forget the usual training tactics, and finally win the battlefield, let his side also suffer a greater loss.

Wei Chi Jingde understood what Wang Junlin meant, and said with a long laugh: "Don't worry, my lord, I understand." ”

At this time, the cavalry brigade of Goguryeo had already begun to advance, and Wang Junlin ordered: "Let's start!" ”

Wei Chi Jingde's murderous intent soared into the sky, and he wanted to roar and lead people to start charging, but in the end he still ordered: "Come on, blow the trumpet!" ”

The sound of the new brass trumpet sounded through the hillside, and six cavalry teams and twelve cavalry detachments lined up in a long formation of twelve columns, each with two hundred and fifty men, and the spearheads and boring and palladium centers erected on the arrays shone silver in the sun. The first two rows of the cavalry battalion use one-foot four-foot spears to wear scale armor, the third and fourth rows are eight-foot boring palladium, and then the back is to use thickened and widened one-handed waist knives, and the last two rows are chain mail, and the cavalry in the same row is only three feet apart from each other, two steps between the detachments, and seven steps between the front and rear rows. They will serve as the main force to destroy the enemy formation.

Wei Chi Jingde came ten steps in front of the formation, looked at the Goguryeo army lined up on the opposite side, and his eyes shot a monstrous battle intent.

The war horses needed by these 3,000 people were all excellent war horses that Wang Junlin bought from the Khitans at a great price, and these horses all felt the atmosphere of the battlefield, and began to plow the ground with their front hooves violently, and made a sound

The nose shakes the head from side to side.

The standard-bearer belonging to the main general came to Wei Chi Jingde's side, the standard-bearer pointed the red pennant diagonally forward, five short tones one after another long tone of the advance trumpet, three thousand cavalry at the same time instigated the horses to start advancing, Wei Chi Jingde needed to accurately judge the distance, to ensure that at the highest speed of the charge with the enemy.

At present, they are one mile away from the enemy, and they have to keep jogging to about two hundred paces, and the charge at a distance of two hundred paces is their most proficient subject, and the difficulty is only how to maintain a dense formation as the speed gradually increases.
