The closer the distance between the two parties is, the clearer their faces become.
Not only can you see the bright weapons in the opponent's hands, but you can also see the faces of both parties.
Yixi was the captain of five thousand men. He personally led these four thousand cavalrymen and charged towards the security group with great momentum.
Yixi held a long-handled sword, roared, and ran in front.
There were five hundred soldiers beside him, and they did not dare to neglect and followed him closely.
Boom, boom, boom, several hibernating snakes were suddenly awakened, and were trampled to death by war horses as soon as they ran out.
The war horses screamed, and the steaming white air filled the air, even causing some of the snowflakes to melt.
The cavalry on both sides shouted loudly, making both sides even more majestic.
Listening carefully, the shouts of the two sides are obviously different. One side is for the Qing emperor, and the other side is for suppressing the rebellion.
Although one side is righteous and confident, the other side has more people and has the momentum to overwhelm the other side.
But shouting is just to embolden people, the real result is that the weapons in their hands will be revealed.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, three hundred steps, two hundred and fifty steps, two hundred steps.
Yixi couldn't help but be overjoyed. He was sure of the credit.
His side held swords and spears, and the other side also held swords and spears. Both sides were Tibetan cavalry, and both sides had the same style.
On the basis of being familiar with each other, what is at stake is the will of both parties.
Will is secondary, quantity is the decisive force.
The opponent only had more than a thousand cavalry, while his side had a full 4,000 soldiers and horses, which was almost three times the number of the opponent.
He will definitely get this army and this army, and he will definitely get this credit.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing.
The two sides are about to engage in a decisive battle now, because both sides only have one hundred and fifty steps.
At this time, the two rows of Tibetan cavalry in front suddenly separated to both sides.
Yixi laughed even more. The other party was actually scared and wanted to run away from both sides.
He pointed the long-handled sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "Take them down, no one can escape."
"Take them, no one can escape." His men shouted, and the momentum was really scary.
If you are a little timid, you will already be frightened when you hear the sound of running horses and the crazy shouts of the opponent, and surrender before fighting.
He was the first to shout, which was the result he wanted.
Swish, brush, brush, thousands of arrows suddenly shot out from the middle.
Yixi reacted very quickly, swung the long-handled sword wildly, and shot down the incoming arrows.
However, some of the five hundred soldiers who followed him responded in time, while others did not.
Those who reacted in time swept the arrows to the ground with the spear in their hands, but those who didn't react in time were hit by arrows one after another.
Those who responded promptly were only officers above the rank of corps commander, while those who did not respond promptly were ordinary soldiers.
Fortunately, although their hands didn't respond in time, some hurriedly lowered their heads and quickly hid behind the horse's neck.
Then the rebels who neither waved their spears nor cowered on their horses in time reacted, and were hit by arrows one after another.
This arrow was completely different from the ground. The horses on both sides ran, increasing the momentum of the arrow.
Of the five hundred soldiers, of course about half of the cavalry were hit by arrows.
The arrows were also divided into priorities, with about half being minor injuries and the other half being serious injuries.
Some of the seriously injured were barely able to ride a horse, and some were even taken off the horse's back.
In the first wave alone, 30% of Yixi's 500 soldiers lost their combat effectiveness.
"Why are there horse archers inside?" Yixi didn't understand for a moment.
But it was too late for him to think too much. The key was to deal with the battle situation in front of him.
Whistle, swipe, swipe, another arrow flew. This surprised him even more. They had fought against the Hu cavalry before, and the Hu cavalry were not that fast at all.
The barbarian archers need at least a hundred breaths to shoot the second arrow, but these archers in front of them can actually shoot the second arrow in less than ten breaths.
While waving the sword, he observed the opponent.
I saw that the opponent did have archers, but there were only more than a hundred.
The others held a kind of miniature bed crossbow (arm crossbow) in their hands and fired at them continuously through both hands.
The reason they are so fast is apparently due to this miniature bed crossbow.
While observing, Yixi was secretly frightened. Fortunately, there were not many people on the other side.
Not only were there not many in number, but there were also 500 Tibetan cavalry who did not know how to shoot arrows right away, which was the opponent's weakness.
While waving his sword, he shouted: "Spread out, spread out, bypass the archers and attack the palace guards."
His soldiers heard this, waved flags, and ordered the captains to separate and surround.
Boom, boom, boom, the rebels saw the flag waving and immediately divided their forces.
The palace guards are very easy to distinguish. Like them, they all have spears, swords and willow leaf armor in their hands.
Although the palace guards have the same equipment, the colors of their clothing are different. They are dressed in red, while the rebels are all black.
Although they dare not fight head-on with bows and cavalry, there is no problem at all against the palace guards.
Gesang was also sizing up the battlefield. He saw that although the rebels were very aggressive, they were hit in the head by the archers of the security group, and their arrogance was immediately knocked down.
He took a risk and made a bet, and he got it right.
Unexpectedly, the other party reacted very quickly and did not dare to fight head-on with the security team, but rushed towards the palace guards.
Seeing Yixi dividing his troops, he had no idea what the other party was up to.
He wanted to fight head-on with the opponent, but he only had 500 troops. Although the opponent suffered half casualties, he still had more than 3,000 cavalry.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look pale and regretted coming out to join the battle.
When Xu Te saw the opponent's division of troops, he didn't know the opponent's intention.
If there are no palace guards, he can fight with the opponent head-on.
But now the palace guards have become a liability and the security team has to protect them.
He shouted, "Kesang, go south."
The flag soldier beside him nodded and waved a flag.
"Well, you should be careful." Gesang led the palace cavalry and headed south.
His soldiers were careful while running after Gesang.
The west gate and the south gate where the rebels attacked are still safe for the time being.
Yixi was anxious. These weak persimmons had escaped. Where could he find them?
Boom, boom, boom, the rebels, led by their respective commanders, accelerated towards
Xu Te shouted: "Hold them, don't let them pass."
The flag soldiers beside him waved flags and commanded the security regiment, the Kingdom of Israel cavalry, and the barbarian soldiers to intercept.
Boom, boom, boom, the security group, the kingdom and the barbarians surrendered and instead of retreating, they attacked the rebels.
Under the command of the captain, he waved his spear to intercept the arrows of the horse archers while pursuing the palace guards.
The battlefield is very comical, with the rebels chasing the palace guards and the horse archers chasing the rebels.
Although the rebels pursued fiercely, their casualties were not light.
After all, if you dare not fight head-on, you are leaving your back to the enemy.
Under the pursuit of the horse archers, some cavalrymen were constantly injured by arrows, and some even fell from their horses with arrows in their vests.
Seeing his cavalry being hit by barbarian arrows and even falling down one after another, Larigeyo couldn't help but became furious and beat the drum desperately.
Finally, almost all the cavalry behind them mounted their horses. Although the archers are the nemesis of the cavalry, that is only when the number of both sides is about the same.
Now he still has more than 9,000 cavalry, but he doesn't believe that more than 9,000 cavalry can't defeat these 1,200 bow cavalry.
Rumble, rumble, rumble, the ground shook even more fiercely.
Except for the rebels who could not mount their horses, all the other rebels rushed towards the security group with spears and swords.
Whether to pursue or meet the enemy is a dilemma.
Xu Te made a decisive decision without any hesitation.
He asked the flag bearers to wave, and arranged for the barbarians to drop soldiers to cover the five hundred palace guards entering the city from the south gate.
The south gate not only has a city gate, but also almost five hundred palace guards guarding it.
Rumble, rumble, rumble, the ground shook.
The white mist in the mouths of the men and horses slowly rose, and underneath were pieces of black armor, which looked distinctly black and white, and the momentum was even more compelling.
Hearing the heavy shaking sound of the earth, Yixi couldn't help but be overjoyed.
He didn't dare to confront the security team just now because he didn't have the necessary confidence.
It's different now. Basically all the cavalry in Dalunfu are in action.
If the palace guards are plagued by scabies, the security team is their real enemy.
Only by completely wiping out the security corps can their Dalunfu troops have real hope.
Although Yixi bullies the weak and is afraid of the strong, he is still unambiguous in the face of right and wrong.
He immediately ordered: "Leave two thousand cavalry to pursue the palace cavalry, and actually kill the security group with me."
The flagman nodded and immediately waved the flag.
Four thousand cavalry immediately divided their troops, two thousand pursued them, and two thousand joined the army attacking the security regiment.
If you look from the sky to the ground, there are five cavalry groups operating in the west part of Qingtang City.
One of them pursued the palace guards who were defended by soldiers from the barbarians. It was the smallest here.
The largest ones were the remaining three troops, two black cavalry, surrounding a group of colorful cavalry.
A smile appeared on Lazhigeyu's face, and Yeshi did not live up to his expectations.
Now he has seven thousand cavalry, while the opponent only has one thousand cavalry.
Not only does he have a numerical advantage, but these cavalrymen have more than ten years of training experience.
On the contrary, he saw that the proficiency of the opposing cavalry was far inferior to theirs.
He has an extremely vicious eye and has already seen that some of these cavalry have been trained for less than a year.
These cavalry are of course the cavalry of the Kingdom of Israel. Although they have previous riding experience, the training time is indeed short, even only one month.
Thinking of this, Lageyo beat the war drum on his horse and shouted loudly: "Attack."
Rumble, rumble, rumble, the rebel cavalry on both sides were like huge black waves, sweeping towards the colorful little waves of the security group.
Lazhigueo believed that as long as the two rebel armies were surrounded, no matter how powerful the security group was, they would be strangled.
Meng Lang looked pale and saw that there were seven thousand cavalry facing them.
Even his general is like this, and his subordinates are even more unbearable.
Some of the cavalrymen of the Kingdom of Israel even started to shake, and some kept tapping their teeth up and down.
After all, the last time they fought against barbarian archers and cavalry, the opponent was twice as powerful as them.
Now this time it was completely different, the other party was seven times bigger than them.
You know, they have never encountered this kind of battle.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look towards Xu Te and Chen Hua.
Xu Te frowned. Even if all of them were cavalrymen with many years of experience, they would not dare to fight head-on. After all, there were too many of them.
