These well-disciplined heavy cavalry on the battlefield were like scythes cutting grass, pushing down the already chaotic spearmen and sword and shield soldiers of the Wagang Army layer by layer.
There were still extremely brave veterans who continued to resist.
Two of the spearmen thrust their spears at a cavalry that passed by them.
The spear pierced the horse's armor, which was moving at high speed.
It failed to pierce the iron scales on the horse's body.
Instead, the spear tip was bent.
At this time, a horse in front of them rushed forward.
The tall, armored horse first knocked one of them over, and then his body was trampled to pieces by the rolling horse hooves.
The other person was stabbed by the lance of the rider on the horse.
Blood holes.
At this time, the flying cavalry who were slaughtering the Wagang Army's crossbowmen behind the formation broke away from the battle at the sound of orders, so as not to hinder the heavy cavalry from cutting through the formation.
Immediately, these heavy cavalry passed through a group of Wagang Army crossbowmen, and the corpses of Wagang Army crossbowmen fell in the place they just passed behind.
After the heavy cavalry penetrated the enemy's formation, they immediately joined the flying cavalry and rushed towards the Wagang Army again.
The Wagang Army, which had suffered most of its casualties, had already collapsed, and the soldiers spread their legs and ran away.
The cavalry gave up pursuit after chasing for a mile or two.
There were not many survivors left who were lucky enough to escape, and it was difficult to gather them again.
The leaders of the Wagang Army generals who led the army thought that at the cost of a certain amount of casualties, they could resist the opponent's cavalry for a while with their dense defense formation.
However, when they received support from the cavalry from the rear camp, they did not expect that the entire army was defeated so quickly and was almost destroyed. .
Now most of them were killed in battle, a few were captured, and a very small number escaped.
The Tianxing Army's cavalry rested for a while, and after receiving the enemy report from the reconnaissance cavalry, they rode off towards another retreating Wagang Army.
At this time, less than seven miles to the southeast, another Wagang military camp, which had received the news, was gathering all the cavalry, nearly 10,000 cavalry, led by Luo Shixin, and was coming with all their strength.
However, not long after they left the camp, they were intercepted by the Sui army who had been waiting at the gate of the camp.
The force structure of the two armies this time was exactly the opposite of that of the previous battle.
This time, the Wagang army was all cavalry, while the Sui army, except for a small number of reconnaissance cavalry scouts, was all infantry.
But among these infantry there were three thousand special crossbowmen, Tianxing Army long archers.
There are also two thousand Tianxingjun mountain spearmen.
Countless heavy arrows like small javelins shot at the Wagang cavalry, and they fell to the ground like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.
Seeing this situation, Luo Shixin turned his horse around twice.
He was considering whether it would be better to defeat this Sui army, or whether it would be more appropriate to continue to pursue the Sui army cavalry that intercepted the front camp.
Finally, he quickly made a decision and shouted loudly: "Pass my military order, the whole army should ignore the entanglement of these Sui troops, speed up the horse speed, quickly get out of their range, and go to reinforce my blocked troops in front."
The reason why he made this decision was also very simple.
Since the opponent could wait here to intercept him early, he must have made full preparations and arranged a military formation just waiting for him to attack.
Therefore, it is simply not as good as what the other party wants.
It is a more reasonable choice to step up and rescue the former camp.
Luo Shixin's order was immediately passed down from level to level, and all the horsemen in the army galloped towards the northwest, whipping their horses and whipping, braving the rain of arrows.
After paying a certain amount of casualties, they finally got rid of the nightmare long shots of those long archers.
But just when Luo Shixin thought he was done, neatly lined up spearmen suddenly appeared from the woods more than thirty battles ahead and quickly formed several square formations.
The spears in their hands were five meters long.
When raised, they were densely packed like an airtight forest.
Luo Shixin looked closely and found that these pikemen phalanx had no armor, and there were no other troops to protect the wings, and he burst out laughing.
He said to himself: "I don't know who the loser is in command of this Sui army.
They actually used pure unarmored spearmen to block our cavalry, and they didn't line up in a circular formation.
Isn't this looking for death?"
He immediately issued an order According to the order, the entire army of cavalry was divided into two groups, the left and right groups, to kill the two wings of the Sui army, avoid their frontal spears, and focus on attacking their sides and backs.
Under the order, the Wagang army rode out one after another and outflanked the Sui army.

Look at the Sui army's spear formations, which were not in a hurry.
They were divided into four square formations of five hundred people each.
They covered each other, placed alternately, and were prepared to be serious.
Ru Lin's spear did not put down, it still stood upright in the air.
Two large groups of Wagang cavalry appeared on the flanks of the two spear phalanxes.
The torrent of cavalry was about to engulf the thousands of spearmen.
But what surprised Luo Shixin was that these spearmen were like mechanical puppets, with expressionless faces, seemingly unafraid of the coming disaster.
Several sharp bamboo whistles made the spearmen turn ninety degrees, and then almost instantly, they put down their spears uniformly.
At this time, the Wagang cavalry rushing at the front was less than two battles away from the tips of these spears.
When they saw something bad, they subconsciously tightened the reins.
In fact, there was no need for them to tighten the reins.
The quick-reacting horses had tried their best to use their front hooves to stop their forward momentum.
But it was too late, under the influence of huge inertia.
Some of them stopped a foot or two in front of the rows of spear points, and some of them bumped into them, blood spilling on the spot.
Then all the spears came out, and there was no living thing in front of the spears.
The horses behind were also in chaos, some knocked the horse in front of them on their butts, and some ran to the side and bumped into others.
The two spear phalanxes began to move, and they moved quickly, cutting across the field as quickly as a razor, and the spears continued to stab as they moved.
Amidst the roaring and neighing of horses, one after another the horses fell over on the field, and one after another the riders fell off their horses and died.
When Luo Shixin saw it, he quickly ordered the cavalry to disperse in all directions, and then besieged the spear phalanx from all sides.
It took a moment and a half for his order to be conveyed to all the ministries.
The cavalry of the Wagang Army first ran all the way away from these spearmen, and then gathered into several groups and charged at these spearmen from all directions.
Luo Shixin secretly thought that this time, no matter how you change your formation, I will attack from all sides.
Unless you line up in a circular formation waiting to be killed, you will all be charged into the formation by my cavalry.
But he immediately realized that his idea was ridiculous.
After a moment, he opened his mouth wide, unable to believe the fact before him.
The bodies of these soldiers seemed to be directly commanded by the same brain.
The four spear phalanxes were like the four fists of a martial arts master, cooperating with each other and moving at high speed.
Walk.
There were almost no flaws, and his cavalry was constantly being killed and wounded in large numbers by the forest of spears.
For example, when a group of cavalry is about to break into a spear phalanx from behind that is confronting the enemy in front, another spear phalanx will suddenly change direction, aim its spearhead at the flank of the cavalry and charge at high speed, "shaving" it.
Fall to the ground.
For another example, when a certain phalanx seems to be alone and is besieged from all sides, it suddenly transforms into a hollow phalanx and stands still, standing firm in formation, waiting for the other three phalanxes to clear out the surrounding enemies.
Such situations are common in combat.
