Running and shooting is because the Han cavalry has stirrups under their feet to help balance in order to turn around, and the guy in his hand is also a three-shot repeater for riding and shooting, otherwise how could it be done that even nomads are not so easy to do?

Donghu people don't know so much, they just think that the cavalry of the Han army is more skilled than them, and after chasing dozens of people who were shot down, their horse speed was reduced, and the Han cavalry completed the acceleration on the way to being chased, and the distance between the two sides was also opened up with the acceleration of one side and the reduction of the speed of the other.

Now there are many people in the Chinese ethnic group who are not strangers to horseback riding and even skilled people, such as Qindi people, Zhao people, and Yandi people. Lu Zhe basically looked for soldiers from the above three places when selecting soldiers to enter the cavalry corps, and the horseback riding skills were good, coupled with the help of improved saddles and stirrups, the cavalry of the Han army would not be unbearable at all. And these are unknown to the Donghu people, and many of them are screaming.

After Xu Wei finished speaking, Qi Lian Fuyin was also expressing a similar opinion.

Qi Lianfu hid his gloomy face, and whispered to the surrounding Donghu leaders: "The cavalry of the Han army is far more skilled than we imagined, this ......."

What were these leaders of Donghu thinking? They actually don't have much to say about being surrounded, and they think that even if the Han cavalry can ride horses, they will not be more skilled than them, after all, the Han State is a southern country, unlike the Qin, Zhao, and Yan countries in the north, so many knights are saved, and there should be no problem for them to break through. However, now that they see the appearance of the Han cavalry, they don't think so much.

“…… The rise of Han Wangzhe relied on nearly 400,000 immigrants from all over the world, and there were not a few people from Zhao and Yan among the immigrants. Later, Han Wangzhe collected about 180,000 Qin troops before and after, and the Central Plains and the northern border also moved in the war, and there should be a small million Qiantou ......" Han Guang explained slowly.

Xu Xun just didn't understand, even if the Huaxia tribe is no stranger to horseback riding now, how can it not be better than the grassland people who have been accompanied by war horses since childhood?

The pursuing Donghu cavalry slowed down on their own. The cavalry of the Han army, which had completed the acceleration, began to detour after the distance between them and the Donghu cavalry, and the two sides gradually became "head to head" in the gallop of war horses.

Under normal circumstances, the two cavalry battles are also so dragged on? Yes, cavalry combat because of the relationship of high-speed mobility, if one of the two sides is unwilling to fight, then it can only be fought for the endurance of the mounts of both sides, one side chases the other side and runs, and the chase ends with a non-engaged situation until the chasing side gives up, or the chased side of the mount endurance is not good and is caught up and begins to be forced to engage.

A riding battle, you chase your ass back and forth for a whole day is not much time, like a Hu tribal war on the grassland. Unless it is weak and has a reason to have to fight, it will take several months, and in the end, the two sides may not be able to fight.

There are many Qin generals from the north of the Han army, and a few are from the border army of Zhao State, and they are no strangers to horseback combat.

To put it bluntly, cavalry fights patiently, looking for opportunities in pursuit, and then engaging at the most opportune moment. When is the best opportunity to engage in battle, it is a matter for the officer who leads the team.

Now, the commander of the 2,000 cavalry of the Han army, when he noticed that Donghu was showing signs of giving up the pursuit, apparently thought that the time had come to engage the battle, and after completing the detour, a series of "woo woo woo" horns fell. A burst of "The Han army is mighty!" from the mouth of 2,000 cavalrymen. He was shouted out, and then charged straight towards the Donghu cavalry.

When the two cavalry of the Han Army and the Donghu Army played the game of "cat and mouse", the troops on both sides did nothing.

The instruments left behind were transported one after another, after He Yi communicated with Wei Han. The Han infantry advanced a mile, and then the infantry changed formation, giving up some space for the equipment troops to assemble bed crossbows, ballistas and other equipment.

When the Han army was approaching again. Han Guang also communicated with Chen Sheng, Xu Su and other Donghu leaders, and the Yan army dispatched 20,000 cavalry, Chen Sheng's army dispatched 30,000 foot soldiers, and the Donghu army dispatched 10,000 cavalry.

In addition, the cavalry in the northwest and north directions of the Han army also moved, and the coalition army responded by 10,000 Yan cavalry and 20,000 Donghu cavalry. The target of the 10,000 Yan cavalry was the Han cavalry in the northwest, and the 20,000 Donghu cavalry was the Han cavalry in the north.

Each made corresponding deployments and changes, almost every army had its own goal, and a major battle would break out on the first day of the Han army's arrival, and the cavalry of both sides as the first wave was galloping towards each other.

The cavalry charged each other and pulled the attention of the commanders of all sides back to it, and the Han cavalry galloping across the horse shouted "Han army mighty" after a silence only left the sound of the hooves of the war horses under the seat, but the Donghu cavalry was "yo-he-yo-" when they charged, and kept shouting.

When the cavalry charged, they all leaned forward slightly, the Donghu cavalry held the horn bow in their hands, and the Han cavalry held a crossbow.

When the distance between the two sides entered about fifty paces, the Donghu cavalry took the lead in opening their bows and shooting arrows, and the arrows that broke through the air and whistled flew for a distance and then landed in the Han cavalry ranks, and the galloping Han cavalry continued to be hit by arrows. In the collision sound between the arrows and the leather armor, the Han cavalry with leather armor playing a protective role naturally continued to gallop forward, while the Han cavalry with no protective armor snorted and fell off their horses.

Falling off the horse during the cavalry battle, even if the arrow is not dead, basically don't want to live, once it falls on the ground, it will definitely be trampled into pieces by the hooves of the horses that are constantly galloping, the arrows shot by the Donghu cavalry will definitely not kill more than 20 Han cavalry on the spot, but the Han cavalry lost by the arrow and fell off the horse is close to 100 people.

When the distance between the two sides was closer to forty paces, the Han cavalry finally pulled the trigger of the crossbow, and under the three consecutive shots, as the Han cavalry continued to enter the firing range behind, a crossbow arrow broke through the air and shot towards the Eastern Hu cavalry.

From a long distance, you will find that the archery of the Donghu cavalry is intermittent, but the archery of the Han cavalry is continuous, and the cavalry of the two armies constantly fall off their horses in the process of firing, and the screams, muffled hums, and the sound of horses' hooves are intertwined into the melody of the passage of life.

The first sound of the collision of the short soldiers in the gallop made a "clanging" sound, followed by the dense sound of weapons colliding, the sound of weapons entering the flesh, and the terrible neighing sound of horses colliding.

The cavalry of the Han army is equipped with a long-handled chopping knife with a length of one meter and five and a slight curve, while the Donghu cavalry is equipped with a straight 60-centimeter bronze sword of the Qi Yan system.

In addition, the lethality of the long-handled horse chopping knife in the gallop is very terrifying, with the speed of the war horse and the force of the Han cavalry in an instant, the two sides staggered after the staggered body of the Donghu cavalry who was often swept out by the Han cavalry The body of the Donghu cavalry became two up and down, and the picture was extremely bloody.

After chasing for the last hour, the real "flesh-to-flesh" collision was only a short quarter of an hour, and the cavalry at the forefront of both sides found that the field of vision was empty, until the last cavalry also broke away from the engagement, leaving behind a place of mud because of the constant trampling of horses' hooves, and it seemed that it was a luxury to keep the corpse intact in the cavalry battle, and the mud of the battlefield was full of the flesh and dregs of men and horses.

At the time of the breakaway from the battle, the cavalry of the Han army was reduced from 2,000 to less than 1,000, and the remaining 2,000 cavalry of the Donghu cavalry were about 200.

It turns out that the side with stirrups is really advantageous in the battle with the side without stirrups, and when galloping and colliding, there are stirrups to borrow strength, and the Han cavalry can stabilize their bodies without falling down, and the Donghu cavalry without stirrups will be pushed off their horses even if they have a good sense of balance.

What is the Riding War Comparison for? It's who can stay on horseback, after all, whoever falls on the battlefield where the horse's hooves are running is really not to live.

The short cavalry battle had a result, and the two sides were in a completely different mood.

The figure of the cavalry of the Han army appeared on the battlefield very frequently, but the objects of the previous battles were basically no cavalry, and some were also chariots of different arms, which was the battle between the Han army and the enemy army who were also cavalry in the real sense since the formation of the cavalry army.

"The visual loss is about five hundred, and the number of cavalry remaining in the enemy army is less than two hundred."

"Give the order to drive away the enemy troops and clean up the battlefield."

"No!"

In fact, there was no need for the Han army to expel them, and the Donghu cavalry, who had been hit by Yanzhòng, had fled lifelessly towards their camp after leaving the battlefield.

In order to ensure that he could clean up the battlefield, Wei Han selected a school of cavalry to wander around the field of the battle just now, so that the cavalry who had fought before could collect the stirrups and other things left on the battlefield.

"There must be some secret to the cavalry of the Han army!" Xu Su forced down and almost gritted his teeth and said: "Otherwise, the cavalry we fought against were the best riders in the tribe, and it was impossible to lose to them!" ”

In these years, it is true that the best riders are needed to be able to fight on horseback, otherwise it is cavalry, but the Hu people rarely stay on horseback to gallop and kill when fighting, basically relying on the speed of the war horse to march, and the real fight should be dismounted to fight.

The nations were speculating that there was a secret to the equipment of the Han cavalry, and they had been trying to know the secret for a long time, but they had never understood what the secret was.

"Not normal, very abnormal, their cavalry seems to be ...... It seems that he can borrow something on horseback to stabilize the impact force of a collision! Qi Lian frowned deeply. (To be continued......)
