The words Tiger and Wolf Master flashed into Liu Mingzhi's mind for a moment.
That's right, they are the Tiger and Wolf Masters. The Long Wuwei in front of them are a group of real Tiger and Wolf Masters. They don't know what fear is, and they would rather die than bite off a piece of their opponent's flesh.
Liu Mingzhi was amazed by the melee in the middle, and then set his sights on the phalanx of light cavalry.
Looking at the situation of the light cavalry a few hundred meters away, Liu Mingzhi frowned. It was extremely tragic. Not only was Long Wuwei's light cavalry brutal, but the situation of the Western Region Cavalry was also tragic.
During the Jin Kingdom, Liu Mingzhi did not command cavalry in battle because of the natural barrier of the swamp outside the Jin Kingdom capital.
This time I saw what a charge between cavalry and cavalry was like.
It was a completely suicidal attack, with one charge after another, horses passing by, and soldiers rushing to kill each other.
The cavalrymen from the Western Regions relied on their superb equestrian skills to perform various moves on their horses that stunned Mr. Liu. No wonder the Turks from the Western Regions claimed to have superb riding skills, and it turned out to be true!
Although Dalong's cavalry was not as skilled in horsemanship as the enemy in the Western Regions, the light plate armor and small shields in their hands also caused the Western Regions cavalry to suffer.
Dalong is already famous for the power of its armor, especially the production of plate armor compared to chain armor. Every light cavalry is equipped with lightweight armor protection.
Just the cross-blade in the hand and the scimitar can easily leave a gap in the scimitar. The advantages of the steel knife compared to the shortcomings of the iron knife are immediately reflected.
Liu Mingzhi watched the Western Region cavalry dodge the dragon cavalry's kills with ease and pushed Ke Yan's shoulder: "Instruct the light cavalry to kill the horse's head. The Western Region people's riding skills are too flexible!"
Ke Yan frowned: "Master Hou, those are the best war horses from the Western Regions! It would be a pity to kill them!"
Liu Mingzhi took out the Golden Dragon Emperor's Order from the prince before leaving and held it in his hand: "If you can't get a horse, you can't let your brothers fight with their lives. No matter how good the war horse is, it can't be as good as the brothers." Life is precious, Ke Yan obeys orders!"
"The general is here!"
"Command the bear to open the mountain and kill the war horse!"
"yes!"
"Commander!"
"The humble position is here!"
"Command the bear to open the mountain and kill the war horse!"
"Got the order!"
In an instant, Xiong Kaishan received Keyan's order. With a heartbroken frown, he passed the order: "The enemy's equestrian skills are too flexible. Kill the horses so that the enemy has no horse to ride!"
The soldiers of the light cavalry charged towards the enemy with heartache. The light and sharp horizontal knives slashed at the neck of the war horse instead of the flexible Western Region Geother.
The change in tactics was indeed effective. The war horses rolled and howled, and the cavalrymen who were overturned were trampled into bloody mud directly under the galloping war horses.
In comparison, the heavy cavalry led by Cheng Kai fell into a war.
The heavy cavalry couldn't keep up with the speed of the Western Regions cavalry, and the Western Regions people couldn't cut through the heavy armor of the heavy cavalry. The losses on both sides were simply negligible!
"General Ke!"
"exist!"
"The crossbowmen are ordered to support the heavy cavalry under the protection of the sword and shield soldiers, and half of the archers are allocated to support the heavy cavalry. The speed of the cavalry on the left path of the Western Region must be curbed. Without close combat, the role of the heavy cavalry cannot be demonstrated at all. Sooner or later, they will go around in circles. We were trapped and outnumbered by the enemy’s cavalry!”
"But what to do with the enemies in the middle? The Sword and Shield Soldiers Modao Team can only encircle and suppress a small number of enemy troops at a time, and the cavalry and infantry who have taken a roundabout route cannot pursue them at all!"
"Covered by arrows, curb their speed!"
Ke Yan looked a little embarrassed: "There are not many arrows left, and we still have to defend the city. What will happen to the 20,000 archers when all the arrows are used up?"
"Don't worry about how many arrows are consumed. It's no problem if you can save one brother with a hundred arrows! Once the arrows are consumed, the archers will switch to infantry. Within five days at most, the Ministry of War will transport 500,000 phoenix feather arrows. Ganzhou!"
This was what Liu Mingzhi had promised before coming to Northern Xinjiang!
Ke Yan's face relaxed: "Since this is the case, the general will be relieved!"
"Commander!"
"arrive!"
"Instruct General Cheng Kai to prepare for the attack and wait for the support of the archers. Once the enemy's cavalry comes down, quickly attack and kill them!"
"yes!"
"The archers obeyed the order and fired two consecutive arrows in five sections to curb the roundabout speed of the surrounding enemy cavalry! This gave the crossbowmen time to cock the bow, and the pikemen changed their formations to protect the crossbowmen from being approached by the enemy!"
"General, the enemy cavalry is too fast and scattered, and too many arrows are wasted!"
"Instruct the auxiliary soldiers to leave 100,000 arrows for emergency use, and shoot the rest, regardless of whether they hit or miss. We will weaken the enemy's speed and give the infantry time to encircle them!"
"Got the order!"
"Master Hou, what else do you have..."
"careful!"
Liu Mingzhi was observing Ke Yan's arrangements when he suddenly felt that his body was thrown under the horse, and he immediately rolled down to the ground several times, his head feeling a little confused.
A stray arrow shot past Young Master Liu quickly after he rolled off his horse, and hit the shield of his personal guard.
Liu Mingzhi stared blankly at the familiar pretty face lying on his body: "Shan'er!"
Murong Shan hurriedly climbed up from Young Master Liu, lowered her head, and turned aside hastily: "Master Hou, you have mistaken the wrong person. His humble name is Xiao Jin!"
"Admit your mistake, uncle, you are crazy. Why are you, a girl, doing this on the battlefield?"
"Master Marquis, are you okay? It's all due to the general's negligence. I didn't expect a stray arrow to attack and kill me. If it hadn't been for Xiao Jin Ji Ling, the general would have been blamed for his death!"
After Ke Yan dismounted from his horse, he hurriedly ran towards Liu Mingzhi. If something happened to the governor, he, the united front general, would also be punished.
"Don't worry, General Ke, I'm fine. Go and command the soldiers immediately. The three armies cannot do without you!"
Ke Yan glanced at Liu Mingzhi's body, breathed a sigh of relief, and ran towards his position without hesitation to continue commanding.
Liu Mingzhi moved over and looked at Murong Shan's delicate body for a few times. It was indeed Murong Shan. Looking at Murong Shan's expression that she didn't dare to look at him, Liu Mingzhi let out a sigh of relief.
"I've rebelled against you. I'll deal with you after the battle!"
On the battlefield, there are things like caring about children's personal relationships. Young Master Liu disdains the content in movies and TV shows that involve romance during battles. A soldier's life or death depends on it, right?
Who the hell is not the precious baby bump raised by my biological father?
After saying that, regardless of the embarrassment, Murong Shan and Liu Mingzhi took a shield from the soldiers, got on their horses and continued to supervise the battle.
Young Master Liu was very concerned about his life. Except for himself, all the soldiers in front of him were fully armored soldiers. If he didn't find something to protect his body, it would be impossible to guarantee that no more stray arrows would fly towards him.
The brocade clothes and jade robes are not just for looking cool and cool on the battlefield, one's life could be over if one is not careful.
Liu Mingzhi quietly scanned the situation on the battlefield, and sure enough, the Western Region cavalry, which was able to face the heavy cavalry with ease without caring about the consumption of arrows, slowed down.
Cheng Kai was very good at sizing up the situation and immediately commanded the 10,000 heavy cavalry to charge forward and penetrate directly into the hearts of the Western Region cavalry on the left.
The advantage of the heavy cavalry was immediately apparent.
Facing the indestructible heavy-armored enemy troops in the Western Regions, they could only watch as the horizontal sword sliced through their chests.
"Report, another group of enemy troops rushed out from the enemy camp and attacked our army!"
"Report, the number of enemy troops is 50,000, 20,000 cavalry, and 30,000 infantry!"
"Report, the enemy has rushed to two miles outside Ganzhou City!"
"Report, the enemy has arrived one mile away and is recirculating from the west of the city!"
Ke Yan finally changed his expression. He could calmly deal with the 40,000 Western Region cavalry faced by his 80,000-strong main battle army without changing his expression. Now, the enemy's reinforcements have arrived, which is 10,000 more than his own main battle army.
Especially the enemy with the majority of cavalry will suffer a heavy price.
"Let the scouts ask for help from General Dongfang Ming in Ganzhou City!"
