Sima Teng shouted, "My sons, prepare to meet the enemy."
The soldiers around him quickly conveyed the order to the three thousand Youzhou cavalry units with horns and flags.
The archers took down their bows and arrows, and the lancers raised their lances.
When the enemy was still forty battles away from his side, Sima Teng raised his saber high and shouted: "Follow me to kill the enemy."
Three thousand Youzhou cavalry followed Sima Teng like arrows from the string, facing the line of dust in the distance.
The horse goes to kill.
The Jizhou infantry guarding the grain and grass baggage also stopped and stood in four rows with their shields and swords raised to escort the grain and grass baggage in the middle.
Rushing towards the opposite side were a thousand Forbidden Army cavalry, all of them were kidnapper horses.
The cavalry of the two armies were like two lines of rapidly approaching waves.
As they approached, they began to shoot at each other.
Although the Forbidden Army only had a thousand soldiers, all the Kaizi horses were equipped with bows and arrows, while only one-third of the Youzhou cavalry were horse bows.
Therefore, there is not much difference between the two armies in terms of arrow shooting density.
However, these thousand Forbidden Army cavalry are system abductors transferred from Luoyang.
The knights' riding and shooting proficiency and accuracy far exceed that of the Youzhou cavalry on the opposite side.
They fired sharp arrows at Sima Teng's cavalry at the rate of one arrow every five breaths, with a hit rate of eight out of ten.
Within ten breaths of time, there were two consecutive rounds of shooting, and the arrows were flying rapidly between the two rounds like a rainstorm in a strong wind.
Amidst the continuous screams and cries of pain, nearly half of the Youzhou cavalry were injured by arrows, and most of them fell off their horses.
As for the Forbidden Army itself, 30% of the soldiers were hit by arrows.
Fortunately, the armor of the Kaizi Ma was excellent, and the injuries suffered by those hit by the arrows were minor and not serious, unless they were in critical locations.
However, many cavalrymen fell off their horses because their horses were injured and frightened.
After two rounds of arrows, the two sides were very close.
The Guaizi horse in the center of the cavalry formation took off his lance, drew it forward, and after three breaths, he engaged the opponent at short range.
The lances of the cavalry of the two armies penetrated each other's armor.
This time, more than 300 Youzhou soldiers were dismounted by lances, while Guaizima only suffered nearly a hundred casualties.
This kind of cavalry hedge is too fast.
If the lance pierces the opponent's body when the horse is on the wrong side, it will be impossible to take the lance back at that moment.
The only choice is to let go and let the lance stay in the opponent's body. .
However, the Guaizima on the left and right wings did not choose to use their lances to poke at the enemy.
Instead, they drove their horses to both sides to increase the distance between them and the enemy, and continued to shoot at the Youzhou cavalry with their bows.
The rider of the kidnapping horse can shoot forward, backward, left and right on horseback under any conditions, not just when facing the enemy.
The kidnapping horse that had crossed the formation by mistake also came back from the front, took out his bow and arrows and fired at them.
The Youzhou cavalry wielding lances and sabers could not reach the Forbidden Army's crippled horses, and they could only be beaten.
Some people, led by generals, chased after some kidnappers without letting go, and some people took off their crossbows again and fired in circles with the imperial guards' kidnappers.
The general who concentrated his forces to pursue the kidnapping horse soon discovered that this had no effect, and instead put himself in a situation where he was passively beaten.
Your own horse is slower than the opponent's horse, and the opponent's horse will scatter while running.
Will the kidnapper who is being chased turn around and shoot himself an arrow from time to time?
If the kidnapper's horse disperses, seeing that no one is chasing it, it will turn around and get closer.
Then proceed to shoot.
However, the Youzhou army who used their bows to shoot at Guaizima was inferior to others.
When both sides were moving at high speed, they could only achieve a higher hit rate when the target's movement angle was roughly parallel to their own movement direction.
Otherwise it will be difficult to hit the opponent, but these systems can do it.
As long as the target is within the range, no matter what direction it is moving, it can hit the opponent with a high hit rate.
After a few minutes of fighting like this, most of the Youzhou cavalry, who could only be beaten passively, had been killed or wounded.
The morale of the remaining soldiers could no longer be maintained.
Everyone was full of fear of Guaizima's elusive arrows.

When Sima Teng was also hit by an arrow, the Youzhou cavalry found a good reason for their retreat to protect the general.
In an instant, a group of Youzhou cavalry protected Sima Teng and retreated towards Chaoge, followed closely by the remaining surviving cavalry.
The kidnappers did not pursue the defeated cavalry, but attacked the infantry protecting the baggage.
These infantrymen had no room for counterattack in front of the horse archers, and could only watch as they were shot in groups by the opponent.
They fled quickly, but most of them could not escape and had to surrender and become prisoners.
The kidnappers escorted the prisoners back to Sima's camp with a thousand carts full of grain and grass.
Sima Ying, who was having a meeting in the Chinese army camp, heard that a thousand carts of food and grass had been lost.
He almost jumped up in anger.
He shouted: "What does Sima Teng do for food?
Where is he now?"
The soldiers next to him quickly looked carefully.
Said: "Dong Yinggong was injured by an arrow in this battle and is recovering in the camp."
Sima Ying continued to roar: "I have to carry him to see him alone."
The soldiers had no choice but to comply.
After a while, several soldiers carried Sima Teng into the tent.
Sima Ying shouted and asked: "What did you do?
Isn't the Youzhou cavalry the best in the world?
Why can't a thousand carts of food and grass be protected?"
There was no response.
Sima Ying took a closer look and saw that Sima Teng had passed out and the bandage on his chest was stained red.
It was obviously impossible to answer.
Sima Ying frowned and had no choice but to wave her hand and have someone lift him down again.
Just when Sima Ying was upset, the soldiers hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty, the situation of the battle on the East China Sea King's side is here."
As he spoke, he handed over a letter.
Upon hearing this, Sima Ying snatched the letter from the soldier, opened it, and read it carefully.
Before he finished reading, he said: "Oh no, Sima Yue has been defeated.
He and the other feudal princes and princes who revolted have been cut off and abandoned.
What should we do now?
Should we retreat to Yecheng, or defeat Sima in one go?
Then Capture Luoyang."
Lu Zhi on the side said: "I think we should retreat to Yecheng at this time and rely on the danger of Taihang and Youzhou to defend ourselves."
But Shi Chao said: "I think we should wait here until Liu Yuan comes and then fight Sima decisively.
Even if we return to Yecheng, the other party will They will still follow.
They still cannot get rid of the current situation, but have lost many counties and counties south of Yecheng.
Then the food and grass for the coming year will be a problem.
Even if they want to retreat to Yecheng, they will have to wait until all the food and grass for this year are collected.
Go again.”
Sima Ying nodded and said: "Indeed, no matter what, we have to wait until all the food and grass are collected.
Otherwise, as soon as we retreat, the enemy will definitely push the front line to the vicinity of Yecheng.
Wouldn't that mean that the counties south of Yecheng will be destroyed?"
The grain and grass were given to them for free.”
While they were discussing their advance and retreat here, two groups of people had already joined forces with Sima.
One way is Xia Yue, and the other is the 1000 newly generated royal court heavy cavalry sent by Sima Yu.
The 20,000 points used were the rewards Sima Yu received for pacifying the Sima Yue rebels
