In fact, in the Tang and Song dynasties, people with a little military common sense will know that the light cavalry and the heavy cavalry engaged in a head-on battle, which was completely looking for death, because the heavy cavalry was not only much stronger than the light cavalry in terms of defensive power, but also in terms of offensive power. It is also far from being comparable to the light cavalry.

Because of the head-to-head battle between the cavalry, horsemanship is important, but not all, the strength and sprint speed of the horse, as well as the strength and weapons of the knight are also factors that cannot be ignored, in the case of equal horsemanship, the faster the speed of the horse, the stronger the strength, the longer the knight's weapon, the greater the advantage.

Although the Hun cavalry riding skills are naturally stronger than the Dai army, but the Dai army is equipped with a new style of horse furniture, which can completely offset the advantages of the Huns in this regard, and the war horses used by the heavy armored cavalry are large in size, strong gravity of the large war horses, coupled with the armor of the people and horses, in terms of weight far more than the Huns, the two sides hedged against each other, the Hun soldiers were not opponents at all, and they were knocked on their backs.

The knights of the army were all strictly selected, and their strength was outstanding, and they used spears that were specially used for horse combat, with a length of two feet and six feet, and the tip of the spear alone was nearly two feet long, and they could hit the enemy almost at a distance of two feet. And the weapons used by the Hun soldiers are very backward, basically based on spears and scimitars, some Hun soldiers even tied a simple polished stone at the front end of a wooden stick as a weapon, but the length is far from enough, so the two horses are against each other, the weapons of the Hun soldiers are often not enough to reach the soldiers of the Dai Army, they are shot off the horse by the spear of the Dai Army, or pierce the body, and although some of the Hun soldiers can avoid the attack of the Dai Army, and launch a counterattack, but the knights of the Dai Army have two layers of armor protection, The attack of the Hun soldiers was almost indestructive, but was knocked down by the counterattack launched by the soldiers of the Dai Army.

In these aspects of the combination of factors, although the Huns have always been brave and good at fighting, but still by the Dai army to defeat one after another, countless casualties, although the Dai army's heavy armored cavalry is only 600 people, the number of the Hun army is more than three times that of the Dai army, but it can not stop the fierce charge of the Dai army at all, the team is like the land ploughed by the iron plow, effortlessly cut by the Dai army.

Although Mao Dun also blocked several spears stabbing at him in a row, so as not to keep himself safe, nearly half of the guards around him had been shot down and dismounted by the Dai army, and after the cavalry of the two sides staggered, the entire formation of the Xiongnu army was cut into two halves by the Dai army.

On the battlefield where the two sides fought just now, hundreds of corpses were left, but looking at it, almost all of them were Huns, and there were very few Dai soldiers, because the clothes and armor of the soldiers on both sides were very different, and they could be seen at a glance.

Although the Xiongnu army immediately reunited, by this time, everyone could see that the Xiongnu army had completely fallen into disadvantage. And Mao Dun couldn't help but be shocked, he had never seen such a terrible army, when did the always weak Huaxia army become so powerful.

The current situation is not to be thought about for a moment, because the army of this era has turned its head and killed the Hun army.

If there is only this army, it will be easy to do, and if you can't fight, you can run, although the Huns are warlike, but they are not the kind of people who are tough to death, and they will still flee if they can't fight. In fact, retreat is also a common battle of the Huns, because they can reduce their own losses, and use the retreat to reorganize the team, waiting for the opportunity to come back; Second, if the enemy army catches up, you can kill and injure the pursuing enemy army with clever archery skills in the retreat, and if you can disrupt the rhythm of the enemy's pursuit, you can also kill a horse pistol, maybe the defeat will be the victory.

But now it's not just Maudun's army, another Hun army led by Kalugu has also been engaged with the Dai army, although Maudun doesn't know how the war is going on that side, but if he withdraws, then the army led by Kalugu will be dangerous, unless the two armies retreat at the same time, but this has to send someone to inform Kalugu, and he has to fight with the Dai army for two more rounds to inform Kalugu in time, so Maudun can only grit his teeth and command the Hun army, rushed forward against the Dai army. Fortunately, the Xiongnu were also a martial and warlike people, although they did not take advantage of anything in the first round of confrontation, but they also aroused the fierceness of the Huns' blood, and they were not timid.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was only sixty or seventy paces, and most of the cavalry of the Dai army were not equipped with crossbow arrows, and they did not even line up in formation, so they launched an attack on the Xiongnu army, but in the process of attacking, gradually adjusting the array. And this time, the army changed a formation, from the arrow shape of the previous round to a horizontal line shape, this formation is not complicated, so it can be gradually adjusted in the process of attacking.

The horizontal linear array has a wider and larger killing surface than the arrow array, but the impact will be weakened, and the depth is not enough, so the horizontal linear array is generally used, and it needs to have more troops than the enemy, at least not less than the enemy, or the combat effectiveness is much stronger than the opponent.

Although the number of the Dai army was far less than that of the Xiongnu army, after the previous round of engagement, the Dai army found that the combat effectiveness of the Xiongnu army was not much stronger than the other armies that the Dai army had encountered before, and it was not stronger than the Qin army, so it really changed the formation and used a horizontal linear array with a larger killing surface to replace the arrow array.

In the process of charging, the army quickly adjusted the formation, the whole army was divided into four rows, each row of about 150 people, the horizontal spread reached a distance of nearly 200 steps, by the first row of cavalry, neatly arranged, the spear horizontal front finger, plus the height of the horse, all covered with armor, so from the perspective of the Huns, it is indeed amazing.

After the Dai army adjusted the formation, the distance between the two sides was less than 20 steps, although during this period, the Hun army shot two or three rounds of bows and arrows at the Dai army, but because the Dai army's men and horses had heavy armor to protect themselves, the losses caused to the Dai army were negligible, only a few soldiers were unlucky, and the arrow was shot at the gap between the two pieces of armor, and the arrow fell off the horse.

But after the two sides fought again, the outcome still did not change much, when the horses of both sides staggered, the soldiers on both sides waved their weapons and attacked each other, but the result was that seven or eight out of ten Hun soldiers were shot down and dismounted, and some of the cavalry of the army were even able to continuously wound and shoot down several Hun soldiers, after all, the gap between the light cavalry and the heavy cavalry was too big, and it could not be changed by the fighting spirit and hard work of the soldiers, not to mention that the morale of the army was not under the Hun soldiers.

Moreover, this time the army switched to a horizontal linear array, and the killing area was larger, so after this round of engagement, the casualties of the Xiongnu army were nearly twice as many as in the previous round. Although the casualties of the Dai army also increased a little compared with the previous round, they were still far less than those of the Xiongnu army.

After these two rounds of confrontation, although Mao Dun did not have any damage, and also shot down a heavy cavalry of the army, but he has always been known for his bravery in the Xiongnu tribe, every time the Huns conquered, he killed the most enemies in the whole army, and after two rounds of confrontation, only one enemy was shot down, and I don't know whether to kill the enemy, such an opponent, but also made Mao Dun's heart also can't help but feel a little afraid.

At this time, Mao Dun peeked and saw that on the other side, Kalugu had led the Hun army to retreat from the battlefield.

It turned out that after Kaluku led 2,000 Hun troops out of the woods, the Dai army immediately abandoned the besieging Hun army and faced Kaluku's army. And that Xiongnu army has been defeated by the Dai army, and in a short period of time, it has lost its ability to fight.

Originally, there were 2,000 people in the army, although they had fought a battle with the Hun army before, but their own losses were not large, no more than 100 people, so the current strength was not at a disadvantage compared with the Hun army led by Kalugu, and the two sides fought fiercely, and they were indistinguishable for a while.

But at this moment, Ah Ran Shi Qimo led a thousand brave troops and rushed up from the flank. The soldiers of the Fan Yong Army are composed of the attached steppe nomads, these soldiers have no good impression of the Xiongnu nation, and even hatred, so after learning that they are going to fight with the Xiongnu, they have already saved up enough strength, want to fight with the Xiongnu army, and also take a bad breath, and now finally get the opportunity to fight, naturally everyone is brave, waving weapons and rushing to kill.

Although they did not wear double layers of heavy armor like the heavy armored cavalry, the soldiers were also wearing bronze armor, and the weapons were also well-made, so the combat strength was far above the Hun army.

The Xiongnu army, which was originally responsible for luring the enemy, had regrouped at this time, and originally wanted to enter the battlefield again to help the battle, but there were still 3,000 infantry troops in the Dai army, and they immediately entered the battlefield and intercepted this Xiongnu army.

At this time, the original Xiongnu army was less than 500 people, and nearly half of them were wounded, and although the army was all infantry, it was full of morale and fighting spirit, and the number was several times that of the Xiongnu army.

At this time, the strength of the Xiongnu army fighting with the Kalugu army had exceeded the Xiongnu army, and the combat effectiveness was not below the Xiongnu soldiers, so under the fierce attack of the representative army, the Xiongnu army was soon unable to parry, and could only escape from the battlefield.

On the contrary, only the Xiongnu army led by Mao Dun, although they suffered heavy casualties, but because the number of the substitute troops they faced was too small, they were able to hold out for a while and become a Hun army that could still hold on.
