At the head of the huge Hezhou city, the marching horns were still sounding.
Xu Mu raised his head and stared straight ahead.
As soon as the city gate opened, he took the lead and rushed out with six thousand men and horses.
When the last rider left the city, the two huge city gates behind him suddenly slammed shut again.
The fire across the city gradually extinguished.
Xu Mu looked back at the city wall and found that veteran generals Lian Yong, Yu Wen, and even many civilians who were delivering baggage had eyes filled with tears as they faced the six thousand people with their hands and fists in their hands.
"Follow me to kill the thief!" Xu Mu raised his arms and shouted, quickly pulling on the reins.
A riding horse leaps over the dying flames. They had just rushed out for less than half a mile, when the Di people's cavalry troops, seeing the situation surrounding them, started to make a roundabout route with a loud shout, and raised their horse bows.
"Throw kerosene."
Without changing his expression at all, Xu Mu spoke calmly. Not long after, with the throwing of cans of kerosene, a large fire broke out again, temporarily blocking the oncoming enemy cavalry.
"Brother Mu, I saw the army, I'll rush over as soon as I can!" Si Hu, who was shirtless, pointed at the army in front and shouted urgently.
Xu Mu shook his head, and with six thousand of their cavalry, they went to kill two to three hundred thousand enemy troops, and they died without even knowing how.
"Go west."
"Going to the west... there is desert land to the west, and the terrain is flat along the way." A veteran soldier with a little experience said in surprise.
In fact, the old pawn misunderstood Xu Mu's meaning. It is not to go all the way west, but to take a circuitous route, bypassing the army in front.
The figure of six thousand riders only followed Xu Mu's hurried reins, and the horse's hooves stepped quickly.
Countless enemy cavalry behind them, originally ordered to cooperate with the infantry to attack the city, finally had fun, shouting and shouting, and followed closely behind with their horses under their belly.
Looking out from the top of Hezhou City, Yu Wen saw something shocking. On the muddy ground to the west outside the city, the distance between the front and back was less than two or three miles. It was as if my little general was being chased away all the way.
…
"Pick up the iron gun!"
Amidst the dust-filled sky, upon hearing Xu Mu's words, six thousand figures quickly reached out and grabbed the iron spear hanging under the horse's belly.
"General Xu, there are at least 40,000 to 50,000 cavalry behind you!"
Forty to fifty thousand cavalry were considered to be less than half of the enemy's cavalry among the Di army. If he were any closer, he would probably be shooting horse arrows.
"Have no fear!" Xu Mu raised his head and looked at the scenery in front of him.
After choosing only one place, he took the lead and continued running.
"Three thousand people threw the cans of fire oil to the ground."
The biggest role of the fire oil tank is to temporarily block the enemy's footsteps.
"Stop the horses." Six thousand people rushed to a high ground. Under Xu Mu's command, they quickly turned their horses' heads to face the fire ahead and the tens of thousands of Di people who were arrogant behind the fire.
Enemy cavalry have already stepped through the flames, ready to cover up and kill them.
"Ten riders form a team, forming a cone formation. The one who is good at riding is the leader."
"Take an iron chain, connect ten horses to each other, and hook each other into the armor of the horse's belly."
The baggage in Hezhou City is not too much. The six thousand Di horses can only wear some thin-armor modified armor, which only covers the horse's neck and the lower half of the horse's belly.
Not really a cavalryman.
But Xu Mu is already satisfied with the current situation.
Di Gou is ferocious and menacing, with a large number of people. With sophisticated siege equipment, if there is no accident, Hezhou City will be destroyed.
They can only think of ways to destroy the baggage in the Di army.
call.
Xu Mu took a breath and looked up at the Di cavalry in front of him, who had already rushed halfway.
When he came to this world, the biggest difference was the knowledge stored in his mind. For example, now, taking advantage of the high ground, using a ten-horse formation, and using the iron armor on his body, it will definitely be a killing wave.
But the serial horse is not without its shortcomings. After condensing the charging power of ten cavalry, the chain of horses is certainly terrifying, but if any of the ten cavalry horses dies and it is too late to untie the iron rope, the remaining nine people will suffer.
Moreover, after being connected with iron ropes, the speed of roundabout attacks will be much slower. This is why Xu Mu needs to be good at riding.
"Quick shot!" Xu Mu shouted angrily.
After the iron rope was connected, a figure on horseback quickly raised the iron gun with one hand and clamped it under his abdomen. These methods were taught by Si Hu.
Of course, Xu Mu will also be watching. To put it bluntly, these six thousand cavalry were the last trump card he could rely on.
"All you gentlemen, please hold your heads high! Look at Di Gou in front of you, relying on his bow and horse, burning the mountains and rivers of my Central Plains and taking away the women of my Central Plains."
"If you can't bear it, what should you do?"
"kill!"
Xu Mu raised his hand angrily, pointing condescendingly at the tens of thousands of Di cavalry approaching. Among them, there were even many centurions and thousands of captains, spitting and shouting at them.
"The whole army forms an array and crush Di Gou! Those who fall from the horse are respectfully invited to die!"
…
"Ten cavalry as a team, interconnected by iron cables? What is this?"
Tuoba Zhao, who just arrived on horseback, sounded a little funny.
This stupid method has never been heard of before. Even the best horse can't gallop and rush when it is restrained by iron ropes.
Riding and fighting is all about coming and going like the wind. For example, the people of the grassland use the shooting method to kill people and throw away their helmets.
"It's not unreasonable that the people of my grassland empire can kill so many people in the Central Plains that they dare not stand in their way."
Tuoba Zhao shook his head, "Not to mention the past hundred years, even if we push forward three or four hundred years, when the Central Plains Dynasty was at its peak, they did not dare to fight with me, Beidi, with an army of riders. How dare the little boss of?"
"It's a bit stupid. I saw before that he actually let people wear thick armor to ride horses. The art of riding is all about mobility. Thick armor, plus a chain of ten riders, it is really stupid to the extreme."
"Ten horses in a chain, why not call a fool a chain horse?" Huang Daochun, who was beside him, also showed happiness on his face.
Only Zhao Qingyun, who was holding the reins, suddenly became silent. Among so many people, he is the most familiar with Xiaodong. What others can't do, inexplicably, sometimes the little boss can do it.
…
"Lance pointed!"
The faces of the leading ones suddenly turned red, and they roared angrily at the charging enemy cavalry, taking the lead to cover up and kill them.
The whole space between heaven and earth seemed to be shaking. The rapid trampling of horse hooves, like the roar of the rising tide, hurts people's ears.
The two sides were fighting each other at such a terrifying speed. There were even many fools on the enemy horsemen who did not change their scimitars and continued to shoot their horse bows blankly.
Nearly four thousand soldiers in iron armor and ten cavalry were connected with iron ropes. It didn't take long to meet the charging enemy cavalry.
Pong.
Hundreds of Di people, who were running the fastest, screamed in shock as they were hit by a chain of ten horses in the front line. They were thrown into the air, and they and their horses flew far away.
To facilitate the roundabout shooting, the Di cavalry did not form a formation, but only charged forward in scattered directions.
"Stab Di Dog to death!" An old pawn who was good at riding thrust his long spear forward like crazy.
The silver hair on his head flew away, and then the gun shot out like a dragon.
Behind him, the roaring figures of Jiuqi also thrust out their spears.
As soon as the enemy cavalry, numbering over a hundred, came into contact, there were sounds of falling horses one after another. Accompanied by this, there were also stunned exclamations from Di people.
"Owl thief!" The old soldier who was good at riding roared.
A shouting captain of the Di people was instantly stabbed in the head under the charge of ten knights.
