Qian Jiantong's choice in the face of the enemy army was the idea of "they set up an ambush" at the first moment, but the terrain of this place is a flat river, and there are no forests around it, so it is almost clear at a glance how the enemy should ambush the enemy Getanado's cavalry did not suddenly turn their horses around and run back in the middle of a gallop, and no cavalry in a galloping state could turn their heads on the spot, and even if they really wanted to retreat, they should have made a small detour to the left and right flanks.
War horses are not vehicles, there is no reverse gear function, the running state of the war horse wants to turn also need to have an amplitude, if the angle is too small is very easy to roll over, even if it does not roll over, it will collide with the surrounding partners who are also riding horses.
In this way, a necessary turning amplitude becomes inevitable, just as the reason why you can't take all the inside lanes when you choose to walk on the curved track in a race.
The gap between the two armies has been narrowing, and as the distance gets smaller and smaller, Qian Jiantong has repeatedly confirmed that there is no possibility of ambush on this terrain, and he can generally guess what is going on when he sees that the enemy infantry is panicking to build an anti-collision formation.
It is impossible for the two armies to meet, the Han army can only remotely spy on the composition of the force in advance, and the side of the Gitanado can only vaguely find that there are troops in front of them, one side can take the other side's force composition into the eye, and the other side has to be close enough to be able to distinguish with the naked eye, and there must be a gap in the time to react.
There is no such thing as a narrow road, but the terrain of this place is flat, and the commander of the Gitanado side is obviously not stupid, he let the cavalry retreat to cover the infantry, if the cavalry of the Han army is still chasing after their own cavalry, the infantry can have more time to make a variety of preparations, at least when their own cavalry is defeated by the Han army, there can be a "harbor"; Or your own cavalry breaks free from the pursuit of the Han army, the Han cavalry turns its horse head to deal with its own infantry, and the own cavalry that is cruising and waiting for battle can attack the flank of the Han cavalry.
It has to be said that the general of Gitanado made a very good calculation, but the next division of the Han cavalry into two was beyond his expectations.
Qian Jiantong brought the Yulin cavalry, which was an army that was trained as a trump card army, and since the moment the army was established, it has not participated in the battle, and it may not dare to support the Shijie Zhao State in its heyday, but it is full of confidence to deal with Ah San, who is despised at all.
Full confidence can also be explained by high morale, full of belief in the imminent outbreak of war, if it does not have the strength to call arrogance, it will inevitably become a negative teaching material in the history of military operations, but the Yulin cavalry obviously will not.
The Yulin cavalry was divided into two, Qian Jian's relatives led 1,500 cavalry to continue to pursue the cavalry of Gitanado, and the 500 cavalry that were separated rushed to the infantry of Gitanado who was building a shock-proof formation.
The situation on the battlefield does not seem complicated, with pursuit and cruise, entrenchment and preparation for attack.
Cavalry-to-cavalry engagements occur intermittently in constant pursuits, and cavalry-to-infantry occurs much earlier due to the lack of mobility of one side.
The 500 Yulin cavalry, who were responsible for attacking the Gitanado infantry, tentatively approached within 100 paces of the enemy, but the expected enemy archery did not occur, and the whole cavalry rushed away in a semi-circular posture without colliding directly.
After completing the roundabout, the five hundred forest cavalry once again approached the enemy army in formation, and when they controlled the horses, they changed to riding bows, and in the trampling sound of the rolling horses' hooves, the sound of the bowstring was inconspicuous, but the feathered arrows shot out of the air.
Horse archery is an art of cavalry, before the stirrup was invented, even the steppe people who grew up with war horses since childhood, not everyone can shoot arrows in galloping, which is a test of riding skills and a test of balance.
The mounts of the Yulin cavalry have a high bridge saddle and a very mature stirrup, and their riding bows are still the product of scientific research.
In the formation of the Gitanado infantry, who had not been split in the head and face, the howl was shouted as the feathered arrows fell, followed by the continuous moaning from the mouths of the wounded.
At the forefront of the formation was a group of infantry with small round shields and short spears.
The standard anti-collision formation is composed of a number of long phalanxes, and the small round shields in the front row of each phalanx are placed on each other in a horizontal line, and then a short spear is horizontally drawn with one hand; The second row is clinging to the robes of the first row with its own small round shields, and the short spears in his hands are also inclined forward; The small round shields in the third row would be pressed against the back of the robe, and the short spears would touch the ground and point to the sky.
It is estimated that the opponents encountered by Geitanado had not played such a cavalry art as mounted archery, so they did not expect that the Han cavalry would not directly attack, and the anti-collision formation was in order to make the formation closer, and it was also in order to use each other's strength to make the small round shield stick to the back, and the sky where the arrows fell was defenseless.
Two consecutive cavalry shots did not usher in the bow and arrow counterattack of the Gitanado infantry, so that this group of Yulin cavalry against Gitanado became very unrestrained, they gradually divided into five brigades, and very arrogantly "circled" about 4,000 Gitanado infantry, and played running again and again.
Qian Jiantong still had time to pay attention to the battlefield on the other side when he was chasing the Getanado cavalry, and he couldn't help but feel a kind of confusion when he saw his own cavalry playing "encirclement and shooting", and he didn't understand whether Geitanado didn't have a long-range attack method, or why he didn't counterattack.
Of course, this infantry of Getanado has ranged attack units, and there are a few types, in addition to the traditional archers, grenadiers and javelinmen, but they made mistakes from the beginning.
Any army needs a degree of organization, but the degree of organization is not a thing that is done with a shout, it relies on the repeated training of the formed troops in peacetime, and then evolves from the degree of organization to the tacit coordination.
An army composed of a large number of people, the more people want to form a synergy, the more difficult it is to form a synergy, Geitanado is not a big country, there may be elite troops, but it is definitely not the group that appears on the battlefield.
They hurriedly formed an anti-collision formation, and the melee infantry backlogged the space for the long-range troops, and the result was that the anti-collision formation became an ornament, and the long-range attack units could not determine the target without the people in front of them, except for a very few people who were firing indiscriminately, most of them were in a "dumb" state.
Later, they were shrunk inward by the melee troops of the Han cavalry, and simply squeezed their long-range troops together, and the scene on the battlefield appeared.
There is no joke to say that there are really no cavalry in the land of Gitanado who can play mounted archery in formations, or that the entire Asan Continent has no cavalry that can play mounted archery in the future, except for the Kushan Empire.
The three men took the ride of chariot in archery on mobile tools, their ancestors played like this, and there may be a thousand or two thousand years after they still still play like this, as for riding archery or something, they are better at playing arhats on the back of war horses and motorcycles.
Qian Jiantong found that the pursuing enemy cavalry showed signs of helping in the past, and almost without much brains, he led the way and walked on a route that would overlap with the enemy army.
Zandpud Iraus Shurakaka's heart was broken at this moment.
He was a mixed general of the infantry and cavalry of Gitanado, and he encountered halfway to the camp of the invaders, and it was a little psychological to say that the invaders would go out of the camp to counterattack, but it was estimated in advance that it would happen within ten miles of the camp.
It is a normal state of war for offensive and defensive battles to occur in the camp for about ten miles, and it cannot be said that the situation of the infantry of Gitanado has become extremely whimsical, but the excellence of the Han scouts and the aggressiveness of Qian Jiantong have made the speculation of Zantpud de Yilaus Shuraka have undergone fundamental changes, the most serious of which is that the situation of the infantry of Gitanado has become extremely worrying.
Another thing that makes Zantpud Iraus Shuraka have the urge to hit the wall with his head is that the general who is responsible for commanding the infantry is obviously not suitable for leading troops at all, even if it is facing the cavalry attack, even if the four thousand people want to form a dense formation, then the necessary activity space of the long-range troops should be taken into account, but obviously that the general is either really brainless, and the other possibility is that the imbalance of the battle mentality is abnormal, anyway, it is to mess things up.
The poor condition of his own infantry forced Zantpud de Iraus Shuraka to know that the reinforcements in the past would be bitten by the Han cavalry, but compared to the possible rout of the infantry repeatedly being attacked by cavalry and unable to counterattack, being bitten by the Han cavalry became a tolerable range.
After all, as long as the infantry does not collapse, it is still the strength of Gitanado on the battlefield, and if the infantry is dispersed, not to mention whether to continue to attack the Han army in the future, the Shuraka family should become a joke of the whole country.
A "woo-woo-woo" horn was sounded, and that was the first time that a horn was heard on the battlefield.
The five hundred cavalry who had been playing cavalry around the Gitanado infantry rallied to the sound of the horns, and slowly but surely formed a conical cavalry formation.
At the same time, another Han cavalry with Qian Jiantong as the spear, they also completed the charging formation in the gallop.
If you look down from the sky, it is the infantry of the Gitanado side that has been twisted and huddled together, the other cavalry of the Gitanado is about 3,000 in an irregular straight line, and the cavalry of the Han army is in a conical charging phalanx in two different directions.
Outside the battlefield on this side, about twenty miles or so, at the other corner, a Gittanado chariot and infantry unit from north to south was constantly moving, and a Han army and the annexed army in the south were advancing northward in the form of a zigzag formation at the forefront, and an irregular rectangular formation in the rear.
He didn't know that the friendly forces in the distance were about to engage in contact with the Han army, he only knew that when the Han cavalry that was attacking his infantry came up, their team, which had become a straight line because of the forward charge, would inevitably be cut off by the waist, or the kind that would be cut directly into three sections.
In fact, as Zantpud Yilaus Shuraka expected, a little different is that the two Han cavalry are about to collide and there is a special round of cavalry, and there may not be many Gitanado cavalry who were killed by arrows or fell off their horses, but it made the Gitanado cavalry subconsciously widen the distance, and the next moment it was the two Han cavalry rushing into the line of the Gitanado cavalry line that had become loose, and a burst of collisions, miserable howls, and horses broke out in an instant.
The hedging of the cavalry is a matter of a moment, constantly staggering at the same time, the knight on horseback is wielding his weapon, and every moment there are people from both sides falling from the horse, or the war horse and the war horse collide and fall on the horse's back.
After a brief burst of shock, the cavalry on both sides moved continuously and left the battle site, leaving behind a bloody picture of horses and men, where men and horses could be scattered or stacked on top of each other, some dead and corpses, and some trampled by horses' hooves to pulp.

The battlefield is inseparable from the bloody picture, the more terrible is half intact and the other half is trampled into flesh but not dead, he just dug the ground with both hands, pulled his intestines, crawled forward with a twisted face, leaving behind him with blood stains and intestines, and it didn't take long for his head to tilt and stop completely motionless.
After completing the hedging and disengagement, Qian Jiantong quickly looked around the battlefield and shouted: "Detour, strike again" The battlefield commander must have a loud voice, but not to the whole army, but at least so that the trumpeter who follows can hear it.
Another desolate trumpet was sounded, but the rhythm of the horn changed, and the Han cavalry, which had dispersed because of the impact, was once again close to the nearby robe Ze in galloping, or formed a new charging formation with a small number of people, and attacked the nearest enemy again according to the military order issued by the horn.
On one side of the battlefield, Misapkud Rausdi Jean Khan had actually watched for a while, and at first he thought that the Han people were too supportive, and he had the courage to use only 2,000 cavalry to meet nearly 10,000 cavalry.
When the cavalry of the Han army was detached, Misap began to doubt whether it was the right move for him to choose to defect to the Han state, thinking that although the Han state was strong, the army was too arrogant.
Although he was surprised to see the Han army playing mounted archery, it did not increase much confidence that the Han army could win, until he saw the scene that had just happened, and his mind was instantly blank.
Gitanado's Ah San has never seen the assault cavalry, even if there is a similar type of cavalry, it is nothing more than cruising or charging into battle, after a fight, you should break away and cruise to catch your breath, I have never seen such a way of fighting like the Yulin cavalry that can cruise and shoot, can charge fiercely and can disperse the impact back and forth.
"Lord Shiva is above" The first moment Misap came back to his senses was that his jaw was very uncomfortable, but fortunately he did not dislocate: "That battle was terrible":
