Seeing the scene of smoke and dust rolling in front of him soaring into the sky, the Ye army has been breathing stagnant since Han Yong.

With such a huge momentum, only cavalry can be built, and it is a very large cavalry team.

But, cavalry?

Han Yong's mood suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley. This time he led 5,000 cavalry south to west, which can be said to be a counterattack by Jedi, and his preparations were extremely sufficient, especially the enemy's military information was collected in all aspects. It is completely certain that there was no large-scale cavalry team in the Huainan army.

He and the King of Wei discussed the various difficulties that were to be faced in this battle for a long time. Without enough cavalry power to check and balance, the enemy relied on nothing more than solid camps and rich armies. However, under the impact of high-powered cavalry, the Huainan Army could only become completely passive and unable to make an effective counterattack.

But now, just looking at the scale of smoke and dust, it shows that the Huainan Army not only has a large number of cavalry to fight against the enemy, but also the scale of cavalry is not inferior to that of the cavalry in Yedi who crossed the south!

"It seems that Chen Guang has lost..."

Han Yong murmured, and then a trace of grayness appeared in his eyes, and he even had the urge to curse. In such an important battle of survival, Ye was behind step by step due to the constraints of all parties and his slow reaction. Even though he was chasing him now, he was still one step too late.

However, after the anger that surged in his chest reached his throat, it only turned into a string of trembling laughter. He forced himself to suppress his excitement, raised his right hand and pointed forward and said with a smile: "Can the Southern Thief fuck the horse? What a joke! Our army is coming to the south in a hurry and is lacking in horsepower. How can the Southern People come to send the horses in front of him? How can they not be taken away? Wear armor and prepare for the battle!"

This was spreading in the cavalry formation, and the ordinary soldiers were shocked and dispelled a lot, but some commanders such as thousands of cavalry and hundreds of cavalry knew that it was a completely unexpected variable to discover the large-scale cavalry team of the Huainan Army here.

But at this point, there is no way to retreat anymore. Even if they withdraw now, after three days and two nights of long-distance raid, the manpower and horsepower have been driven to a limit and cannot escape at all.

So they could only comfort themselves because the southerners were not good at fighting horses, and at the same time boosted their morale and ordered their soldiers to prepare for the war quickly.

Shi Kan was indeed well prepared for this counterattack, and both men and horses were used to choose the best. Although he had been running for hundreds of miles, the soldiers did not seem too panic when the crisis was approaching.

The team quickly moved to a gentle high slope near the left, and then the soldiers were armored one after another. These so-called armors naturally could not be as good as those of the Huainan Army. Unless Shi Kan completely ignored Li Yang's defensive power, it could only be gathered together, so most of them were just some key protections for key areas.

Among them, only the thousands of the most elite cavalry led by Han Yong were equipped with neat armor, and even the war horses were immediately covered with a slightly thick layer of leather armor protective gear.

Among these knights, including Xianbei, Wuwan and other Hu Yicong, each with strong body and excellent riding skills. Even if they gallop on horseback, they can be fired from left to right. They are also the trump card of this attack. They were originally used to attack the Huainan Army's intensive infantry battle formations and solid camps that they might encounter, but now they have to be used in advance.

Han Yong was also full of confidence in the combat effectiveness of this team. Even though the Huainan Army took the initiative with a relaxed attitude, in real cavalry battles, Han Yong also believed that the Huainan knights would never be able to withstand the impact of this cavalry that was considered absolutely elite in Hebei.

The cavalry in Ye were still preparing for the entire formation in an orderly manner. The entire team was centered on the thousand elite troops led by Han Yong himself, with a thousand battle formations on both sides of the left and right, and two thousand people left behind in the rear wing to standby.

By the arrangements on the military formation, we can see the elite of this cavalry team. Beneath the thousand men, there are also a team of 100, fifty, and ten men.

There is nearly one meter of space between the left and right of a single rider, which can greatly avoid the dense shooting of long-range bows and arrows. The front and rear rows leave a distance of up to seven or eight meter, which can not only ensure the consistency of the impact, but also reserve enough space for emergency adjustment of the battle formation.

Such an accurate impact battle formation was not arranged under the frequent command of the generals, but was a spontaneous adjustment made by the comparison between the soldiers. As a real elite cavalry in Hebei, this kind of war qualities has penetrated into their bones and no longer requires deliberate requirements.

About a quarter of an hour later, the cavalrymen of the Huainan Army on the opposite side finally rushed out behind a dense grass.

After seeing the cavalry formation of the Huainan Army appear in sight, the Ye army from Han Yong all rushed slightly, not knowing whether it was because sweat penetrated into the eyes or something else.

"Who are the cavalry of the Southern thieves?"

One of the generals murmured, subconsciously clenching the horse spear in his hand. If it weren't for the spear body being a characteristic, the sweat gushing out of his palm was almost so smooth that it wouldn't hold it.

Neat, so neat! The cavalry brigade opposite has a smooth and neat edge, as if it was cut out by a knife, like a moving iron wall, rushing towards here quickly!

Although the distance between the two sides was still very far, many of the Ye knights seemed to be tightly held when they saw the Huainan cavalry in such an orderly manner, and then they doubted whether the previous understanding of the Southern people's inability to fight cavalry was correct?

The huge and neat military formation quickly expanded in view, and a powerful shock spread across this world, even oppressing the cavalry formation in Yedi slightly retracted.

"Impact, kill!"

At this moment, Han Yong did not dare to neglect at all. He raised his arm guard and touched the face armor lightly, and then a roar came out of his mouth.

The cavalry in Yedi is worthy of being the elite of the northern region. Although they saw that the enemy was much stronger than they expected, when the drums rang out, they still tightened their horses and rushed towards the battle.

As the charge rose, the Yedi army also had a fierce momentum. Two torrents flew down from the slope. Although it seemed that although the Huainan army was not as full of the same majesty as the Huainan army, there was also a sharp and violent aura that spread out in the army.

At this time, the cavalry formation of the Huainan Army also changed at this moment. As the battle formation was running, the two wings also separated from the central army and began to accelerate again.

With the growth rate of the two wings' army, the Huainan army's battle formation changed from the original square to a large indented pocket. Especially when the two wings' army was charging, the wing feet were pushed out layer by layer, making the pocket wider, and then turned into a hideous giant mouth of a ferocious beast!

This change is gradually and obvious, revealing a mechanical beauty. Although the cavalry in Yedi fought in field battles, such formation changes are unheard of and unseen.

It was not until the two armies were very close that the cavalrymen in Ye who were rushing in the front discovered why the Huainan army's battle formation was so neat and strict.

It turned out that those galloping cavalry were not independent individuals, but were connected by the horses, and five cavalry were connected in a series of times. The five cavalry advanced and retreated as one, and even the speed of the war horses was extremely neat! In this way, it spread to the entire military formation, creating such a shocking and huge military formation!

That's actually the case!

Although the Ye army was amazed by the skillful and wonderful ideas of the Huainan Army, they actually used this method to make up for the shortcomings of individual riding skills of soldiers. In this way, although the mobility of the military formation was slightly reduced, its firmness increased greatly.

You should know that the changes in the clutches of Yedi cavalry during charge are based on the excellent riding skills of soldiers, which can maximize the characteristics of cavalry's flexible maneuverability, and the subtle connection between the front, back, left and right can ensure the subtle connection between the front, back, left and right, and will not become scattered and disorderly.

In just over three years, even though the town was established with such a large cavalry team at the beginning and could ensure sufficient training, it really lacked the training of real combat. It would be a dream to reach the level of elite troops in Yedi in the changes in the military formation!

"The horses in the chain are just a small path! What kind of cavalry is it that the clutch and reunion can be lost?"

After realizing the mystery contained in the Huainan military formation, Han Yong sneered. The biggest advantage of the cavalry is its flexible mobility. The arrangement of the Huainan army seems to ensure the integrity of the military formation, but in fact it erased this biggest feature. In the battle between cavalry, it actually requires the integrity of the battle formation, which is simply foolish!

However, although he had a contemptuous thought in his heart, Han Yong still ordered the thousands of elite soldiers he led to slow down the charge, because if he was facing a head-on attack, the Huainan army's army's close military formation was the nemesis of his team.

Even if he could break out of the battle formation, he would have to suffer heavy casualties. He could not afford to lose money now, so he could only hope to break through the two wings, break down the enemy's formation and then rush forward, and get the greatest results at the minimum cost!

The generals who led the charge on both wings were also long-term generals who fought in Hebei. As the Huainan Army flanks were pushed out in succession, the previous tactic of rushing to the flanks was hard to use. However, after the Huainan Army flanks were unfolded, the military formation inevitably became weaker and simply rushed directly into the middle.

The cavalry on the front line led their bows to shoot, shooting out two arrows as soon as possible, and then they needed to quickly wander to the side to free up space for the cavalry in the back line to penetrate the enemy formation. At this time, the archers and cavalry would gather in the rear again, and then rushed back to continue to tear open the enemy's battle formation with their bows and arrows.

For the elite cavalrymen in Yedi, this basic tactic is just like eating and drinking water, and does not even require special instructions from the soldiers.

But when they were about to approach the range, a round of arrow rain splashed in the Huainan army. Although the arrow rain was not dense and caused not many casualties, it made the cavalry in Ye stunned, and the rhythm was a little chaotic. It was originally enough to be a distance between the two arrows, but it could only send out one arrow in a hurry.

After this arrow was fired, the effect was minimal and it could hardly cause any trouble to the Huainan Army. This was naturally because the protection of the Huainan Army was several points better than that of the enemy, and even if some soldiers were injured, they could hardly affect their actions and were still dragged forward by their comrades.

The Huainan military formation seems weak, but at least it still guarantees three rows in front and back, with the front horse lances flat, the middle bow and knife, and the back bow and shield. Since the speed is not mentioned as fastest, the drooping force is more conducive to riding and shooting. Even if the average number of one more arrow is only added, it is already an extremely obvious advantage to expand to the entire front line!

Relatively speaking, the rushing formation in Ye was even more sparse, and this phenomenon was more obvious under the attack of two rounds of arrow rain. Although the cavalry who rushed to the formation were still brave, they were facing rows of Huainan horse spears. When the two directions collided, the rough rushing formation was directly flat!

Although the Huainan Army had only one spear formation, there were five people in one whole. Although the rush was not fast, it was a steadily victory. An enemy soldier roared in. Even if it came like the wind, even if he hit one person, he was immediately pierced by the lances handed over from both sides! The war horse fell to the ground and didn't even have time to roll, and then was trampled by it!

Occasionally, there are war horses in the column that are difficult to move. The skin ropes are cut off on both sides, and the war horse is removed from the battle line. With a backhand, the horse will rush towards the opponent's army formation with pain, and it will not drag down the line to the action.

Although it lost a certain degree of mobility, it was more dense in the military formation. Before the next wave of enemy troops rushed to the front of the formation, the cavalry of the Huainan Army had already drawn their bows and shot out again. After they collided with each other, the enemy army once again turned into a broken formation and collapsed as soon as they rushed!

The three such people, and the generals of Ye finally discovered this reality. The Huainan military formation seemed weak and seemed to collapse as soon as they rushed, but the problem was that when they rushed to this position, they were already at the end of their strength. It seemed that the extremely fragile dry pole was blocked by this thin wall, and broke one by one under the wall!

"Get back into formation and fight again!"

After discovering this scene, the generals hurriedly shouted and adjusted their tactics, roared together to prepare to roam and retreat. However, they discovered that the originally opened flank of the Huainan Army was now swinging from the outside to the inside, just like they were wrapped around their arms. If they still wanted to withdraw from the outer wing, they would inevitably bump into each other head-on!

"Inner knot, inner knot!"

The generals adjusted their military orders in time. At present, the battle formation was underway because the two wings of the Huainan Army were too wide and the central army was behind, and there was still a safe space. So the soldiers turned their horses inward and prepared to go around an inner circle and then retreat.

But at this time, the soldiers of the Huainan Army on the flank no longer ran in arcs, but instead ran in diagonal lines. The originally expanded wings stacked layer by layer, directly shortening the closing distance.

Originally, due to the advantage of mobility, the enemy's entire army might have left the battle. However, with the changes in the battle formation of the Huainan Army this time, it seemed that its open mouth suddenly closed, biting and intercepting one-third of the total number of soldiers in the enemy's charge this time!

Although the enemy has extremely high mobility, when the pocket battle formation of the Huainan Army was closed, no matter what the rush left and right, they were all slightly dull arrays of the Huainan Army. At this time, the central army, which was originally one step behind, also slapped the hundreds of enemy soldiers to death in the battle formation!

Han Yong has led thousands of elite cavalry to approach the battle formation, and is preparing to wait for an opportunity to launch an attack while responding to the defeated people. However, the Huainan Army's formation still maintains a high degree of order in the face of changes. Even if his troops are more elite, it will be difficult to produce any miraculous effects when facing such a strict military formation.

At this time, he could not see the mystery of the Huainan Army's formation: by actively reducing the mobility of some cavalry through the company cavalry, ensuring a complete formation while ensuring a certain maneuverability, and using a thinking similar to infantry warfare to conduct field cavalry warfare.

This is simply a rogue fighting style, no step or ride, and the equipment requirements are extremely high, otherwise the thin battle formation would not withstand the attack of light cavalry.

But it has to be said that this arrangement is most suitable for novices like the large-scale cavalry warfare of the Huainan Army. It can not only ensure a certain amount of maneuver power, but also ensure the integrity of the military formation during movement.

Although the current changes in the battle formation are still a bit dull, as the quality and tacit understanding of the soldiers improve, it is conceivable that the lethality will be further improved.

At least among the many tactical experiences in Hebei, Han Yong couldn't think of how to effectively break this tactic unless he could attack one place at no cost to break the surface.

However, in normal thinking, cavalry is never used this way. This is equivalent to giving up its own mobility advantages and putting it on tactical thinking that is equal to the enemy to fight head-on, and using one's own experience of many battles, the absolutely elite cavalrymen will trade their lives with a group of new recruits in the enemy.

If Han Yong had a large number of infantrymen in this battle, he would not be afraid to beat the enemy with such a tragic fighting method, but now he can't afford to gamble on the battlefield.

It seems that the only thing he can rely on is to avoid it before the war begins by his superior mobility. If he fights hard, his five thousand cavalry may be torn to death here!

Moreover, this was due to the unfamiliar cooperation between the enemy and the many changes and connections were a little stiff. But even so, in this round of charge, nearly 700 cavalrymen in Yedi died in the Huainan army!

In a highly mobile battlefield environment like cavalry field combat, nearly 700 people died in one impact, which is absolutely tragic! Moreover, these 700 people were completely trapped in heavy siege and beaten to death by the siege of more and less, causing minimal damage to the enemy!

Such an amazing battle loss is enough to make people heartbroken under any circumstances, not to mention that Han Yong only has more than 5,000 cavalry at present, which is their only trump card to turn the tables in this battle!

The two armies are now very close, and the cavalry of the Huainan Army are still continuing to move towards this. The so-called lack of mobility is relative to the cavalry, but compared with the infantry, it still maintains efficient mobility, which is completely a solid mobile fortress.

Han Yong looked back and saw that no matter the soldiers in the army, they showed fear on their faces at this moment, and they obviously no longer dared to face such a strange army head-on.

The more stalemate is, the more unfavorable it is for oneself. After a long journey, the soldiers are now relying on a morale to maintain it. If they continue to be stalemate with the Huainan cavalry here, the morale will be even more sluggish and the soldiers will collapse without fighting!

"The Southern thieves are indeed not good at cavalry fighting. They must use this bad method to slightly stop our Hebei hero! It seems ferocious to trap the horses by catching them, but they are just binding their feet, which is not to be afraid!"

Han Yongqiang cheered up and ran and shouted in the military formation: "This time our army came south, we were not going to decide the victory or defeat with the southern thieves, but to block the food route, plunder capital and cut off their retreat! As for the two armies, there are tens of thousands of heroes who will win! The whole army will get on the horse, we will bypass this place and attack the southern thieves' baggage camp!"

Although Han Yong's yelling tone was still a little excited, there were only a few responders in the army at this moment. The long journey and the crushing defeat in the first battle made the only momentum they had left was gone.

However, when Han Yong called out that the entire army would be on the horse, the soldiers would still be on the horse because staying here would only die faster. When Han Yong led the team to run, the entire team had no longer had the same rhythm as before, and some teams even left the brigade and ran towards the countryside.

The team avoided the front of the Huainan Army's attack and turned to the south. Han Yong still did not give up and wanted to bypass the Huainan Army's cavalry to attack the rear hinterland.

However, at this time, a warm cheer broke out from the Huainan army: "The slave thief is defeated, Duansuo attacks!"

Accompanied by this roar, the atmosphere on the entire battlefield was detonated again, and the soldiers of the Huainan army cut off the rope connecting the war horses, and then gained a more flexible speed and rushed straight to the enemy's rear.

At this time, the people and horses in Ye were already exhausted. After hearing the cheers of the Huainan army and the magnificent scene of the galloping horses, they were even more frightened and all rode their horses to escape.

"It's an opportunity!"

The riots on the battlefield were soon captured by Han Yong. He was also a powerful general with rich combat experience. How could he not beware of the variables of the Huainan Army's quest to pursue the ranks? Seeing the Huainan Army's cavalry split up, his eyes lit up. He immediately turned his spear and shouted wildly: "The formation of the Southern Thief Army has been broken, fight back and kill the enemy!"
