Dear friends, ask for some recommendation votes, please subscribe too, please Cavalry combat is not so simple, the first premise is that the war horse needs to warm up enough, wait for the warm-up before entering the best sprint state.
Obviously, the Yao cavalry had only been active for less than a quarter of an hour, and looking at the rhythm of the horse's breathing and sweating, it was difficult for the horse to complete the warm-up after a quarter of an hour of small running.
Regardless of whether the warm-up was good or not, and the battle situation was necessary, in the sound of several rapid horns, the Qiang officers who led the team could only take the lead in turning.
Finding that the Qiang cavalry was about to attack, the Han side beat the tight war drums, and the officers kept shouting military orders.
In response, the spearmen began to organize their spears, their spears were about four meters long, the heads of the spears were pointed out half-diagonally, and the bottom of the spears was tightly clubbed to the ground.
Spear after spear was half-diagonally erected, looking like a dense forest of spikes, and the infantry had always used a tight formation to resist the cavalry, a tactic that had been handed down since the pre-Qin era in ancient times.
The archers behind the spearmen were also arranging the arrow array, they were about a small arrow formation of fifty people, and then a large arrow array was formed by many small arrow formations.
The crossbow troops, which were blocked by the human wall, were at the mercy of the sound of military orders, and the soldiers nervously and quickly adjusted the crossbows, and they obeyed the military orders to adjust the direction and angle of fire again and again.
In addition to being hit into the winch to speed up the reloading speed because of Liu Yan's suggestion, the rest of the crossbow is not too special, or even just a single-shot crossbow, that is, the Han Department has not mastered the advanced technology, and has the intention to study double or triple shot, or even more than three shots, but unfortunately there are not too many results for the time being.
Once the infantry formed a tight formation, the cavalry would definitely not crash into it in a daze, and what the cavalry should do was to constantly attack and harass.
The Qiang cavalry, of course, knew what to do, and they kept distancing themselves from each other at the sound of the horns, and the cavalry capable of riding and shooting gradually became the vanguard, picking up the horned bow and taking the arrow.
"Shoot" But it was the archers of the Han Department who shot the arrows first, and this time it was a one-time cover.
After a round of archery, the forward of the Qiang cavalry kept falling heavily on the ground with arrows from people or horses.
In fact, the arrows fired by the infantry were farther than those of the cavalry, which was a very simple truth, and the reason why the cavalry's angular bow was subject to the bowstring was probably that it could shoot seventy to eighty paces, and the maximum lethality was only about thirty paces.
An infantryman's bow can shoot more than 100 paces, and the maximum range of damage should be 50 paces In the past history, there have been too many examples of cavalry difficult to attack and form a tight formation of infantry, the most famous is that Li Ling led an army of 5,000 to be besieged, the result was that the Xiongnu and the Marquis Shan Yu besieged between the two mountains with 30,000 cavalry, Li Ling formed a simple chariot formation with baggage vehicles, and did not surrender until Li Ling's army consumed the arrows.
Before surrendering, Li Ling's army eliminated a staggering more than 10,000 Hun cavalry.
The Han army that went out of the city to fight did not have a car formation, but it was not bad to form a spear formation, and then after a few rounds of volleys, the archers again carried out band shooting, and the Qiang cavalry finally did not even dare to approach, so they could only cruise outside the range of the Han archers.
"It's ridiculous" Yao Lan was both frightened and depressed: "It turned out to be like this" In fact, otherwise what else can the cavalry be able to restrain the infantry, but unless it is armored cavalry, the cavalry is always only mobilizing the enemy infantry, making the enemy infantry chaotic in the movement, waiting for the enemy infantry's formation to be chaotic is no longer a dense formation, and the cavalry can only exert its due power in the face of it.
"Attack the enemy army in the melee" Wang Teng was quite calm: "Attack it and save it, and mobilize the enemy army." ” Yao Lan didn't get dizzy, and naturally knew what to do.
In the battlefield of the Chinese army, the Qingzhou soldiers who had beaten Liu Zheng as the lead kept retreating, and as the battlefield continued to move forward, what remained behind them was the corpses of those who died in battle, even if there were Qingzhou soldiers who were only injured but not killed, they would be made up by the Han soldiers who followed behind the system swordsmen.
Liu Zheng was about to send someone to Yao Lan for help, but saw that the Qiang cavalry on both wings changed again in a horn sound, leaving a small number of cavalry on each wing, and the rest were leaving the battlefield for a detour, seeing that the direction of the detour was to attack the rear of the advancing Han army.
Most of the Hu people used horns to transmit military orders, while the Chinese civilization tended to use war drums to transmit military orders.
I can't say who is better, it's probably a habit.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is also simple, since the Hu people use horns, the Chinese civilization that has always been at war with the Hu people should always be changed, or it is really troublesome to identify the horns.
Of course, Liu Yan found out where the Qiang cavalry was going to attack, so he laughed a few times and waved his hand.
The sound of the war drums "dong dong dong" became rhythmic again, and the troops on the left and right flanks of the Han army moved slowly, and the leading troops at the front end stopped advancing and turned to defense.
The roaring sound of horses' hooves sounded in the Han army's formation, and there should be about 600 cavalry to break away from the brigade and charge towards the Qingzhou soldiers who wanted to form the team.
Originally, Liu Zheng and Yao Lan and others, who had to take a defensive position under the threat of the cavalry, showed a successful smile one moment, but frowned the next moment.
The movements of the Qiang soldiers forced Liu Yan to adjust, but Liu Yan sent cavalry to attack the chaotic Qingzhou soldiers, and it was the turn of the coalition army to make a choice.
"We have a lot of cavalry, we can divide a thousand people to cut off the rear flank of the Han cavalry, and strive to flank and eliminate this Liu Yan's only cavalry on both sides" Wang Teng pointed to the left and right wings of the Han Department that was moving: "Then order the cavalry on both wings to attack and harass the cavalry to slow down the speed of the meeting of the whole Han army." ” Faced with the right suggestion, Yao Lan had no reason to refuse, and soon sent a herald.
It is true that some orders can be given according to the rhythm of the sound of the trumpet, but if they are more complicated, they can only be delivered by running and passing on people.
The battle situation is constantly being carried out by the commanders of both sides, one side makes adjustments, and the other side will inevitably make targeted deployments, but the war situation does not show signs of stalemate and sluggishness, but because the two sides are constantly changing the pace of response measures is accelerating.
Generally speaking, the Han side was still at a disadvantage due to the lack of sufficient cavalry.
The Han cavalry just tried to attack the Qingzhou soldiers in the chaos, and once again charged the Qingzhou soldiers who might have been rectified, and then immediately retreated to their own position.
They had to retreat, and if they didn't retreat, they would be attacked by the Qiang cavalry, and they would not be able to retreat when the time came.
And they were able to retreat or rely on the archers of their own formation to cover, so they were not bitten by the Qiang cavalry.
The Han Army's leading forces resumed their advance after the friendly forces on both flanks approached, forcing the coalition forces to put in new troops in the direction of the Chinese army.
The coalition forces are investing new troops, and Liu Yan is also mobilizing troops from other areas of the battlefield.
The Han reinforcements from other regions took the Yongdao, and the way was not so stable, and there were coalition troops attacking the Yongdao in several areas, which caused Liu Yan's mobilization of troops to not be so smooth.
There is no way to do it, the coalition forces have an advantage in terms of strength from the beginning, they can put elite troops in the main battlefield, and the rest of the local battlefields can be attacked by slave soldiers, it would be better if they could play a greater role.
The fight that began at dawn lasted for nearly an hour and a half, and finally reduced the intensity, after all, people are people, and it is difficult to run fast after a lot of physical exertion.
When most of the physical strength of the soldiers on both sides is consumed, the war is the time to pay attention to will.
Of course, the coalition army with a large number of troops has other options besides fighting will, they can rely on the advantage of strength to rotate, but the Han soldiers on the battlefield of the Chinese army seem to be monsters, although they seem to be slow to move after fighting for so long, they still show fierce aggression.
"Those armor soldiers, they are more than 1 dead soldier" Yao Jing scolded more than once: "Who would fight a war of attrition with this absolute elite Liu Yan is crazy?"
The battle has been going on for so long, and the casualties of the two thousand system swordsmen with the "aura" of not fearing death are actually very serious, and it seems that there are only less than eight hundred left, but these eight hundred system swordsmen are still advancing, but the coalition forces that are fighting with them have collapsed at least six times.

If Liu Yan had more troops in his hands, or could have more than 2,000 cavalry, the Han Department would have broken through the position of the coalition army and chiseled through.
The problem is that the available troops in Liu Yan's hands are only more than 10,000, and there are less than 400 cavalry left, so they can only continue to consume.
The high-level faces of the coalition forces are very unsightly, they are on the side with the advantage of troops, not only have more troops than the Han Army, but also have a large number of cavalry, but the battle situation has developed like this "Are we too incompetent, or" Liu Zheng came to Yao Lan's side, and was silent for a long time before speaking: "It's still too strong in Hanbu" No one thinks that Liu Zheng is making excuses, they have not made obvious mistakes so far, the battle has been a relatively obvious offensive and defensive battle from the beginning, and there is no such thing as an ambush.
It can be regarded as a dignified confrontation, but the coalition forces are on the side with more troops but cannot gain a clear advantage, and only rely on the mobility of cavalry to suppress them in multiple battlefields The coalition forces are only suppressed, not eliminated or defeated, and for the side with superior strength and cavalry, it is already in a disadvantageous state to fight like this, and it should be a shame.
"The other party is very stable, and the willpower of the soldiers is also strong."
Yao Lan glanced at Yao Jing without leaving a trace, and then said in a low voice: "The Han Department is no longer just a threat to Qingzhou, and it is not as simple as the enemy of the Yao family. ” Although Liu Yan repeatedly refused to admit that he was a Jin person, all the Hu people would only regard him as a Jin person.
And Shijie Zhao Guo now has a kind of public opinion, which is the remark that has risen under the advocacy of Shamen Buddhism, saying that the Jin people are about to recover their vitality and should be comprehensively suppressed, so that Shi Hu will continue to consume the Jin people by wantonly collecting women and building palaces.
"Perhaps" Yao Lan said with great difficulty: "We should retreat first, be more prepared and come again, and wipe out the Han at once":
