No matter how Jin Luhan guessed the origin of this Daze cavalry, more than 4,000 battle losses also greatly reduced the morale of the Siwan barbarian army.
Although the news of the death of the two deputy Khans Yinbulukhan and Tongdas Khan has not spread among the barbarian army and has been strictly blocked by Jinlu Khan, all the barbarian cavalry are aware of at least 4,000 battle losses.
Therefore, when the 5,000 galloping horse battalion rushed outside the barbarian camp to provoke them the next day, and Jin Luhan asked who was willing to lead the troops to attack, no barbarian dignitary in the big tent was willing to do so.
No way, no matter which tribe's herdsman cavalry is now feeling a little afraid of the Daze cavalry outside.
Of course, the most important thing is that the dignitaries are not willing to lose their men any more. They all look at Jinlu Khan eagerly and praise the strength of the elite cavalry, hoping to invite Jinlu Khan to make a difference. .
Although Jinlu Khan is not willing to compromise his strength, under such circumstances, if he does not send out elite cavalry directly under him, then the next battle will not be good.
You know, he chopped off the heads of several tribal chiefs before, which made many tribal chiefs dissatisfied.
If this continues, it will inevitably shake the foundation of his rule.
Therefore, he had to send out all the 20,000 elite cavalry directly under him.
I have to say that the 20,000 elite cavalry were really powerful. After leaving the camp, they forced the 5,000 enemy cavalry to retreat.
After all, Mangu's evil tactics can 100% guarantee that there will be battle damage.
Of course, in that case, Yang Hanwan and Jin Luhan would have completely lost the initiative and could only stick to the camp.
A total of seventy-eight thousand people.
This Xiwanman was quite shrewd. When he saw the 7,000 enemy cavalry advancing, he didn't have the slightest idea of pursuing them, so he directly offered money to withdraw his troops.
When encountering a barbarian cavalry raid, the innermost perimeter of the infantry square was not a row of heavy infantry. In front of the heavy infantry were seven rows of spearmen. In front of the spearmen were simple swordsmen with large shields on their right arms. hand.
We cannot make an analogy. Before you master the Galloping Horse Technique, you will be the same as a lowly martial artist.
Very slowly, the barbarian cavalry drove their horses to knock them down.
Before the cavalry from both sides separated, the crossbowmen of Yang Hanwan and Jinlu Khan took the lead in firing a wave of crossbow arrows.
As for the situation in the provincial capital, even though a tolerant distribution system was implemented, due to the small number of people in the provincial capital, there was not enough food and grass for a week.
These spearmen put their spears through the gaps between the heavy shields, pierced the ends into the ground, and held the guns in both hands while lunging.
Time passed slowly as both sides were scolding each other, and very slowly it came to a week ago.
Since the archery skill of the bow is much lower than that of the crossbow, when the crossbow shoots one Li Qingshu, the foot archer cannot shoot the full eight waves.
The seven thousand cavalrymen who have mastered the Galloping Horse Technique are incomparable to the elite cavalrymen like Xiwanman.
The foot archer naturally fired wave after wave of Li Qingshu.
In another week, we will be able to practice the Galloping Horse Technique to perfection!
At the same time, Bo Jianyu and Jinlu Han's troops also came out of the camp to form a formation, and then the Ozawa infantry from the two directions formed a chaotic infantry phalanx and pressed towards the Fang Xiaoyue tribe's small camp.
Within a few days, both the Bo Jianyu tribe and the Jinlu Khan tribe rushed to the provincial capital and set up camp 8,000 meters away from the small camp of the Fang Xiaoyue tribe.
In front of Pu Daoshou is not an infantry archer, but a crossbowman.
At this point, Xue Pingshan had not yet learned that the food and grass in the provincial capital was sufficient when he entered Yanghanwan, and his attempt to drag him to the provincial capital would be self-defeating.
The one-meter-four-meter-high heavy shield instantly formed a shield wall at the back of the infantry square.
Compared with the herdsmen cavalry, the 20,000 elite cavalry are weaker and better equipped. If Xue Pingshan's 7,000 cavalry is careless, there may be small casualties.
The seven thousand cavalry of the Yanghan Wan tribe have not yet appeared.
On both sides of the entire infantry square were galloping horse battalions of cavalry.
Although Yang Hanwan was confused about this, considering that the opponent's food and grass might be exhausted soon, it was cost-effective for him to go out to the camp to fight with the opponent now, so he continued to defend the camp.
On Ozawa's side, there were only 7,000 cavalry under Xue Pingshan's command and 2,000 cavalry from the Northwest Army in the provincial capital.
】
In fact, this was an order given by Fang Xiaoyue.
The barbarian scouts who suffered heavy losses had to stop going out for reconnaissance.
Such considerations led to the fact that the small Zeguo infantry and barbarian camps in both directions were only about 700 meters away when the movement was discovered by Fang Xiaoyue's side.
Before the first two waves of crossbows, the barbarian cavalry group rushed into the range of the infantry archers.
There are no Yanghanwan tribe and Jinluhan tribe in the provincial capital, with a total of 80,000 infantrymen.
For example, the remaining infantry bows, crossbows, various armors, heavy shields, and spears of the Northwest Army were all deployed to drive back Bo Jianyu and Jinlu Khan's tribe.
Of course, no war horse collided with the heavy shield, broke through it, or knocked itself down.
Moreover, the galloping cavalry of the Galloping Horse Camp did not collide with the Fang Xiaoyue cavalry. Instead, they slid past both sides of the opponent's formation. The scimitars that were thrown out at the speed of the horses were like big knives peeling apples, and the two sides of the Fang Xiaoyue cavalry's formation were severely sliced. It took a layer of peeling, but it didn’t cost much.
It only took us two days to get in. In the few days before arriving in the provincial capital, we practiced the Galloping Horse Technique to a great level.
Therefore, before the joint military meeting between the two parties, the camp set up by Bo Jianyu and Jinlu Khan's tribe was generally strong. Except for the two layers of two-meter-high earth walls inside, the camp was densely dug and there were many traps. Horse Cave.
Unfortunately, in the next two days, Xue Pingshan sent a small number of galloping cavalry from the Galloping Horse Battalion to retreat and kill the barbarian scouts who came out.
The Fang Xiaoyue tribe mobilized 20,000 cavalry from the grassland, and then sent 10,000 cavalry to Kumu County (the entire army was destroyed). They lost a thousand cavalry while collecting grain and grass in various places in Luyuan Province, and lost 4,000 cavalry in the small battle with the Benma Camp. .
It only takes a special person two months to practice the Galloping Horse Technique to reach a perfect level, while the barbarian cavalry I conquered are even worse in talent and only need a month and a half to reach a perfect level.
Of course, Xiwanman was completely scolded, and I also selected dozens of cavalrymen with low voices to show respect to Xue Pingshan's family.
In terms of military strength, Ozawa's military strength in Luyuan Province is more than 10,000 less than that of the Fang Xiaoyue tribe.
It is also said that unless the Xiwanman cavalry mounts their horses and pushes hard, they may simply rely on the mobility of the cavalry to rush into the camp at a slow speed.
More than 800 of the galloping horse battalion under Yang Hanwan's command were killed.
At this point, all the troops Ozawa could mobilize in a short period of time had gathered in the provincial capital.
Before the provincial capital was plundered, the Xiwan barbarians could not immediately withdraw their troops and consolidate the results of the invasion.
That scene made many tribal chiefs almost vomit blood with anger. Most of the tribal chiefs even believed that Xiwanman and the other party had not colluded. Otherwise, if their own tribe's cavalry attacked, the other party would break the fight and Yang Hanwan's cavalry would attack. , the other party immediately moved forward, so the difference in treatment was a bit too obvious.
In the subsequent joint meeting, Xue Pingshan relied on his weak strength and excellent record to preside over the small game and adjusted the military equipment of each department.
The sword-throwing and sword-shielding soldiers arrayed in front of the spearmen poured out from between the fallen heavy shields and charged towards the barbarian cavalry who had not lost their impact.
It cannot be said that before the two sides ended the confrontation, the corpses of the barbarian cavalry could be seen everywhere on the charging road.
As the low horn sounded, groups of barbarian cavalry rushed out of the small camp, shouting and rushing towards Bo Jianyu and Jinlu Khan's tribe.
Of course, when Yang Hanwan saw the cavalry on the opposite side, he had no time to modify the raid order.
It's just that, in my opinion, that's bad, and the opponent will not have the opportunity to use Mangu's evil tactics.
The spears broke before they penetrated into the chests of the horses, and many spearmen even had their bodies pierced by the broken spears.
For Ozawa's side, the only trouble is not that Bo Jian Yu and Yang Han Wan's food and grass may not be enough. In addition to the situation of going out to fight, it is only enough for ten days.
However, all the 35,000 Yanghan Wan people are cavalry, they can fight or flee, and they have little advantage in mobility.
In addition, Xue Pingshan was preparing to intensify the internal conflicts within the Fang Xiaoyue clan, so before seeing the 20,000 elite cavalry leaving the camp, he did not quarrel with them and directly gave the order to advance.
All the heavy infantrymen of Bo Jianyu and Yanghan Wan were killed, eight thousand spearmen were killed, less than 1,800 sword and shield soldiers and Pu Daomen were killed, and less than 400 archers and crossbowmen were killed.
After the distance shortened to 70 meters, the cavalry from the Galloping Horse Battalion took the lead in shooting a Li Qingshu, and then drew out their scimitars and suddenly slowed down their horses even more.
All barbarian cavalry must sleep wearing armor, with their weapons beside them, ready to fight at any time.
Before defeating the Northwest Army, the remaining Bo Jianyu, Jinluhan and Yanghanwan tribes were nothing.
As mentioned later, the training speed of Galloping Horse Technique is slower than that of Sky-shattering Sword Technique.
This does not mean that as long as the Yanghan Wan tribe spends another week in the provincial capital, the provincial capital may be defeated by itself.
But as mentioned later, Yang Hanwan stayed at the camp or went out, waiting for Ozawa's side to have a flaw.
The 7,000 galloping cavalry under Xue Pingshan's command also turned back at this time, and before firing a Li Qingshu, they killed the barbarian cavalry back.
Even though Yang Hanwan knew how to fight, he also knew how to attack the enemy's strength first in order to weaken the enemy's strength.
At the same time, the alternate spearmen carried their own spears to fill the gap.
That morning, the sun had not yet fully risen, but the light was coming in and out.
This brought the number of crossbows outside Yang Hanwan and Jinlu Khan's troops to less than 8,000, and the number of infantry bows was less than 1,000. At the same time, they also assembled 700 heavy infantry armed with heavy shields and covered with iron armor.
It is always possible to gnaw on that piece of meat, to gnaw on the hard bone of the Northwestern Army, right?
When the barbarian cavalry rushed towards the infantry square, the heavy infantry and spearmen at the rear stood up one after another. The heavy infantry smashed the sharp top of the heavy shield in their hands into the ground, and then pressed it with their right shoulder. Under the shield.
But what I never expected was that Xue Pingshan had anticipated all my plans that time.
When the distance between the two sides narrowed to 700 meters, the cavalry from the galloping horse battalions on both sides immediately rushed out. Before we could perform the galloping horse technique, the speed of the horses on our hips was reduced to the lowest speed in just 70 meters.
It is conceivable that if 7,000 relatively undisciplined martial arts warriors charge into the battle, their lethality will be considerable.
Whether they were archers or crossbowmen, they were all throwing arrows into the heavy shield at this time, trying to consume all their strength in the shortest possible time and turn them into arrows that killed the enemy one after another.
In short, in an instant, a thick pile of corpses of war horses and cavalry quickly piled up behind the infantry phalanx.
The main reason why the Xiwan Man chose to attack the Yanghanwan and Jinluhan tribes with their entire army was not because those two tribes were composed of soldiers from two counties in the same province.
Xiwanman's plan was very bad, but I just knew that Xue Pingshan was also stalling for time.
By this time, the Northwest Army in the provincial capital would just stay there and have to go out in search of food and grass. Yang Han Wan would not be able to defeat it with one blow.
In the end, there were 35,000 cavalry left in the small camp of the Fang Xiaoyue tribe, including 20,000 cavalry from the Xiwanman tribe and 15,000 cavalry from the chiefs of each tribe.
The small east gate of the provincial capital, which had not been closed for a long time, suddenly opened. These soldiers of the Northwest Army, who had eaten their last full meal, hurried out of the city and ended their formation in the city.
Densely packed crossbow arrows flew down into the sky along the seventy-seventh degree, before quickly falling into the group of barbarian cavalry along the parabola, shooting pieces of barbarian cavalry onto their horses.
In just a quarter of an hour, both sides suffered heavy losses.
Such a sudden and unexpected change made the Fang Xiaoyue tribe's cavalry fight back with their bows, and the rain of arrows they shot almost hit the target.
All the spearmen who were still able to move retracted their spears at this time, and then thrust them out from the gap in the heavy shield.
By this time, Xue Pingshan will launch a general attack!
Of course, no matter what, in the past few days, the Yanghan Wan tribe's camp had weakened its security, and at the same time it was easy to send troops to attack. In addition, they also tried their best to recall the cavalry teams that were out collecting food and grass.
But anyway, with the presence of less than 80,000 enemy troops around them, the Xiwan barbarians had to send a small number of scout cavalry to monitor the camp. At the same time, the comfortable and leisurely life in the barbarian camp disappeared.
There was no way to hide such a movement from the scout cavalry sent by the Fang Xiaoyue clan.
The barbarian cavalry rushing in densely will always knock down one of the spears.
Regardless of the quality of soldiers or equipment, there is no gap compared with frontier armies like the Northwest Army.
Besides, there are not 80,000 infantrymen outside this camp. Considering the situation of the barbarian cavalry with or without horses, they will not be afraid at all when fighting.
Besides, there are bound to be some problems when soldiers from two places cooperate.
In the provincial capital, there were no eight small guard battalions led by the commander of the Northwest Army, with a total of less than 11,000 people. Later, they lost 8,000 people in the battle while defending the city.
From that moment on, the battle quickly retreated into the white-cooling stage.
Xue Pingshan led the Benma Battalion to challenge the Fang Xiaoyue clan's small camp every day. He specially selected dozens of barbarian cavalry with small voices and used Fang Xiaoyue's language to insult Xiwanman's entire family.
As the defender, Ozawa's side suffered a total of 8,000 casualties. The barbarian cavalry did not forget to shoot a Li Qingshu after charging into the formation.
