Before the actual contact between the two soldiers, the well-trained Northern Xinjiang Army had perfectly adjusted its formation, and the two wings spread out to the sides, first in a frontal formation, and then gradually changed into two oblique triangular attack arrays. At the tips of the two triangles, a white war horse and a black war horse, under their leadership, the two iron triangles are sharp.

Captain Qiang Hu has not received training in the orthodox art of war in the Central Plains, but in his many years of combat career, he has still gained enough experience to make corresponding judgments on the enemy. If the enemy fully unleashes this tactic, the encounter will turn into a terrible disaster.

The two triangular attack arrays, like two sickles, are pushed flat along the edge of the battlefield, and their own cavalry is like weeds, cut to the ground, and if they are lucky, they may be cut out of the battlefield and become stragglers; Those who are unlucky can only be oppressed and gather in the middle of the two sickles.

But what is frightening is that the two sharp knives are not the most terrifying killing machine of this tactic, the real killing machine comes from the enemy's Chinese army.

The Chinese army, which accounts for nearly half of the total strength, is closely connected to the tail ends of the two sharp knives, and the Jizhou cavalry, which is pressed together, will become their target if the front platoon breaks through smoothly.

The enemy of the Chinese army advanced here, accompanied by the roar of heavy crossbows, sending waves of death into the ranks of the Western Liang cavalry, exacerbating their confusion and taking the lives of the unfortunate.

As the distance approached, the riding bow also began to be powerful, and the power of the white feather was not as strong as the strong crossbow made of steel, but it was better in precision and intensity.

A strong crossbow is like a heavy hammer, it is unstoppable when smashed down, and the damage may not be very large, but every time it is smashed, it will cause a major blow to your morale; And the white feathers flying in the sky are like continuous raindrops. It is pervasive, making it impossible for people to dodge and take advantage of the gap smashed by the hammer every time, and they can reap a lot of results every time.

The tactic was successful. Some people in the Xiliang cavalry used a riding shield, but they became the target of a strong crossbow, and the shield was broken and killed; Someone tried to escape, but when they turned their heads, they saw that there were people in front of them, left and right, and where was there a place to escape? Someone was desperate and let the horse gallop on its own, and then crashed into his companion. Together, they turned into unjust souls; Or hit the edge of the crossbow arrow, and fall into the dust with a splash of blood.

No one pays attention to the comrades who died tragically, and no one has that spare time. In fact, the survivors of the chaos will soon follow in the footsteps of the forerunners, and the enemy's long-range attack is not the only means, with the current situation, the moment they come into contact with the enemy army fighting in the array, it is the moment when their own side collapses completely.

Want to reverse. The only way to do that was to break the two scythes.

Captain Qiang Hu yelled: "If you don't fight hard, you will die!" Come with me, they don't give us a way to live, let's fight with them! ”

Captain Qiang Hu had a chance to fight, but his brother blocked the way. Before he could run to meet the enemy, the cavalry on both wings rushed forward and were killed to the ground.

You don't have to think about it to know that in this tactic. The one who serves as the two-winged sharp knife must be a great general. Captain Qiang Hu even guessed the identity of one of them, and the world-famous hussar general Li Yi was not riding a white horse. Do you have to be the first in every battle?

It was precisely because of this realization that he adjusted his direction once, avoiding the white horse and facing the black horse, but was blocked by the rebels, and he was unable to meet the battle for a long time, so he could only watch the brothers under his command being killed in a river of blood and crushed.

"Fight! Fight! ”

"Don't run around the people in front, either face the battle, or retreat to the periphery, don't get in the way, don't get in the way!"

……

Captain Qianghu's personal guards shouted in unison, the Qiang cavalry did not pay much attention to the formation, as long as they ran in the same direction, even if there were some small stumbles, with superb riding skills, they could successfully overcome it.

But the current situation is that everyone's strength can't be used in one place, otherwise two troops of similar size, how could they be beaten so badly in one face?

"Cut!" Captain Qiang Hu snorted coldly, now is not the time for mother-in-law, you must block the enemy's sharp knife, if you can't open a gap, your thousand vanguards will be completely surrounded and slaughtered.

This vanguard battle has been lost, but there are still about 8,000 foot soldiers behind him. It doesn't matter if you can't win the battle yourself, as long as you can delay for a while and wait for General Zhang to come to reinforce you...... No, even if it is to give General Zhang time to take a breath and let him queue up.

If the vanguard collapsed like this, let the Northern Xinjiang army cross the river with a great victory, and rush to the army that was on the march after a rapid march of 70 miles......

Captain Qiang Hu shuddered violently, and a chill suddenly appeared in the center of his back, quickly expanding to his whole body, freezing his skin, blood, and even bone marrow.

He would rather that his reaction was not so fast and his understanding of the art of war was not so deep, so that he could compete with the world-famous hussar general with peace of mind, instead of being like now, his body was already stiff before he hit, and his heart was half dead.

But after all, he didn't want to accept his fate, and shouted loudly: "Right wing, attack the right wing with all your might, and if you break the right wing, you will have a way to live!" ”

After drinking, Captain Qianghu slammed the reins, brandished his scimitar, and slashed at a frightened Xiliang cavalry who was scurrying around. The sharp blade of the snow slashed the leather armor of the rebels like a long whip, leaving a two-foot-long knife on the opponent's chest, and the blood spurted to the ground, and the wounded screamed and swirled, and fell, and the blood splashed like a waterfall on Captain Qianghu's face.

"Cut, those who stand in the way, those who escape, all of them are cut by Lao Tzu!" Captain Qiang Hu wiped his face with his left hand, roaring wildly, and his face was hideous.

"Kill, kill!"

The bloody nature of the Qiang cavalry that was incorporated was aroused, and there were more and more cavalry following behind Captain Qiang Hu, and at the moment when they faced the enemy general, nearly 300 cavalry actually joined the counterattack. Quantitatively, already approaching the right flank of the enemy.

The Xiliang cavalry, under the leadership of Captain Qianghu, smashed viciously at the sharpest point of the enemy's scythe like a mace.

Through the blood-red mist, Captain Qiang Hu saw the enemy general, who was his inevitable target, a young man who looked sixteen or seventeen years old. The other party doesn't look like a rider in the usual sense, not that he is not good at riding, or that he is not good at martial arts, the fur of the black horse has lost its original light color, and it is about to turn into a jujube red horse. The blood of the horse was dyed red, and it was all the same that died at the hands of the enemy generals.

This person is undoubtedly a fierce general!

It's just that as the general who commands the light cavalry, the other party's age is too young, and he is about the same as the hairy boy in his own army.

Captain Qianghu had hope in his heart, his legs clamped sharply, and the war horse under his crotch neighed, and accelerated again in extreme speed, and pounced on the enemy like lightning.

The main general took the lead, and the morale of the Xiliang cavalry was greatly boosted, shouting loudly, following behind Captain Qianghu like a tide, rushing forward.

"Good time!" Seeing the enemy's main force coming head-on, Wei Yan was not surprised, raised his hand and waved violently, the long-handled broadsword in his hand turned into an angry dragon, and the cold light flickered, roaring and pounced on the enemy formation.

How quickly the cavalry hedged, all this happened between lightning and flint, and Captain Qianghu and his own soldiers neither reacted nor could parry. Captain Qianghu was first slashed by the angry dragon, with a puddle of blood. Captain Qianghu's head soared into the sky, several feet high, and his body also flew up from the galloping warhorse at the same time, drawing a near-straight trajectory, and slammed into the guards behind him, knocking the latter off his horse with him.

Before the cavalry could exclaim, the broadsword whistled again, cutting through the leather armor of the cavalry with its sharp blade, rolling the blood into the wind, and smearing a layer of bright red on the periphery of the tornado.

"If you're not afraid of death, just come up!" Wei Yan shouted a fierce battle, holding a knife in both hands, and slashed from the waist into the red-eyed Xiliang cavalry who rushed to the front, almost cutting it in half.

Then, Wei Yan shook his hands hard, and threw the Xiliang cavalry, which had not yet lost his breath, at the other cavalry that was slightly behind, and smashed one of them on his back.

"Follow the Lord Prancing Horse Thousand Troops, happy, happy!" Wei Yan laughed loudly, and the blade stabbed out a brilliant silver flower in the sunlight, and there was no one in the place where he passed.

Wei Yan was glad that he was not sent out by the lord to carry out the rest of the tasks in front of him this time, otherwise, he really didn't have the opportunity to follow the lord and fight side by side on the battlefield.

It turned out that after occupying Bi Guiyuan, Li Yi sent a part of the army out to collect the displaced people around Luoyang and send them to Luoyang City for resettlement. The other part of the army began to carry the grain and grass in Bi Guiyuan. Li Yi knew very well that after learning that Bi Guiyuan was lost, the Xiliang army was bound to return to help and desperately assault Bi Guiyuan.

In the vicinity of Luoyang, the Western Liang Army had an army of nearly 100,000 troops. The Northern Xinjiang Army that came to Luoyang this time was only in the early 50,000s, and the fierce battle with the Xiliang Army in Biguiyuan had little chance of winning. Even if it is a victory, it is a tragic victory, and it is not what Li Yi wants to see. It is better to retreat into Luoyang City, and with the strong city defense, fight with the Xiliang army.

Therefore, when the scout sent back the news that a Western Liang army had approached Yishui, Li Yi had only two thousand cavalry left by his side, as well as Wei Yan alone.

In order to buy time for the rest of the army, Li Yi took Wei Yan and two thousand guards to attack.

Wei Yan led the team and rampaged through the enemy formation, and wherever he passed, the blockers were invincible. The cavalry under his command is as majestic as a tiger and as imposing as a rainbow.

Cavalry battle, the most important thing is speed, there is an unstoppable Wei Yan, although the cavalry on the right flank faced a relatively tough enemy, but the advance was not slower than the left flank.

After the cavalry of the Xiliang Army was killed by a knife and lost command in an instant, the cavalry of the Western Liang Army finally collapsed under heavy pressure, and finally turned into meat paste under the hooves of the enemy's Chinese army. Those who were lucky enough to escape scattered in all directions, and did not dare to turn their heads back, completely losing their courage.

The cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army had no intention of chasing and killing, but after defeating the main force of the vanguard of the Western Liang Army, they quickly formed a team, crossed the dilapidated bridge over the Yishui River, and met the follow-up troops of the Western Liang Army.
