"Open the horse - unsheathed the knife"

A group of cavalrymen boarded their horses when they heard the sound. The scimitar shone in the sun. After a storm of the palace tent, the tent army bypassed the central platform and did not charge immediately. Instead, they stopped behind the earthen base. Compared with ordinary Khitan cavalry, their armor was finer and dense. The armor was covered with Khitan robe and the palace tent cavalry cast a sun and moon flag symbolizing the emperor's personal soldiers. The people and horse armor were all white, which was extremely conspicuous.

Yelu Yanshan, the governor of the palace tent army, immediately stood on the central platform. As Yelu Dashi ordered, he lifted the reins of the horse and led a group of cavalry generals to run from top to bottom. Before the palace tent cavalry brigade, Yelu Yanshan suddenly strangled his mount and the war horseman stood up. At this time, Yelu Yanshan pulled out a scimitar and shouted: "Long live Your Majesty" and "Long live the Khitan". The sword pointed straight at the Song army's infantry formation. Yelu Yanshan shouted: "Crush forward" and took the lead, rushed towards the Song army's formation. Dozens of cavalry generals beat the Khitan sun and moon flag, followed closely behind Yelu Yanshan.

"Long live your Majesty"

"Long live" and "Long live the Khitan" the cavalry of the palace tent responded loudly, driving the horses over the low earthen building

Almost at the same time, Zhang Xian said to Li Ruoxu: "Princess Yuan Gong, let's see how we can break the enemy." His tone was firm. Without waiting for Li Ruoxu to argue, he took off his big gun, shook it up hard, and shouted behind him: "The various flags of the colors shook slowly, without the clamor of the Khitan cavalry when they came out of the formation, more than 5,000 Beiwei cavalry urged the horses in a low voice and slowly moved forward.

"Please let the officials go to battle together." Li Ruoxu pulled out his sword and stared at Zhang Xian's back, "The officials are not weak people." Zhang Xian ignored it and slowly walked forward surrounded by a group of cavalry generals. Ruoxu did not expect that Zhang Xian changed his mind temporarily and was so angry that he couldn't speak. Zhang Xian deliberately left ten Beiwei soldiers to "protect" him. Under the "environmental sanitation" of these elite soldiers, how could Li Ruoxu escape from a team of Beiwei Camp cavalry passing by Li Ruoxu

"Mr. Li, be careful," Yue Yun's voice was much more kinder than Zhang Xian, "Let's see if we defeat the enemy."

He smiled slightly, lifted the reins of the horse, and led the three hundred elite cavalry under his command by Li Ruoxue. The bloodstains left behind when the cavalry were just rushing to the battlefield were still heard by Li Ruoxue's cry. He turned around and smiled kindly, "This top scholar is really interesting." This trip was a head-on battle with the Liao cavalry. Before he set out, five thousand Beiwei soldiers and horses were all wearing heavy armor. The mounts were slowly running, and clanging Li Ruoxue listened to the iron-clad and copper-pie sounds, and his blood was boiling in the five-in-one. However, only the military orders were the largest in the army, especially in the capital. He knew that shouting was useless, so he could only open his eyes and watch these soldiers of the Song Dynasty step onto the battlefield.

Each cavalry stretched out the gun in his hand, and the war horses slowly ran. When it was still a hundred steps away from the Khitan cavalry, the formation of the cavalry in Beiwei camp gradually became neat and concentrated. From Li Ruoxu's perspective, almost people were next to people, and horses were next to horses. Each cavalry battalion was pushing forward neatly like a copper wall and iron wall. From a distance, there was no gap between the formation, and there was almost no need to control the horse. The mount was naturally driven by the war horses on both sides and ran forward together. However, such a formation also greatly restricted the performance of the cavalry's personal martial arts. This tactic was made by Yue Fei specially trained for the Song army.

After the army invaded south, various Song troops rose up to resist and seized a large number of war horses in Fangzhou, Shuzhou, Jiangzhou and other places. However, as the saying goes, the northerners are good at cavalry, and the southerners are good at boats and horses. When the town expands the cavalry, it is difficult to find a soldier who is familiar with cavalry. Yue Fei did his best to form cavalry. It is extremely difficult for the Song army to compete with the Hu people on horseback. Yue Fei worked hard to get inspired by the formation of the musket and infantry army. He did not compete with the Hu people for personal cavalry and archery, but used iron-like military orders to train the entire battalion, and even thousands of cavalry collectively rushed to the formation, and used a formation like a copper wall and an iron wall to restrain the Khitan cavalry.

"Khitan cavalry has always been known for their speed and strength," Cao Di frowned. "The Zhenzhan Cavalry Camp is so dull, how can I fight with it?" This was the first time he saw the Zhenzhan Cavalry coming out. After thinking for a moment, Cao Di guessed Yue Fei's intention and felt that he was secretly in his heart. "It's really a general, but it's hard to cook the elite cavalry in our dynasty, such as the Yang family cavalry and the Zhe family cavalry, most of which have accumulated over decades or even hundreds of years, can gather so many cavalry in just a short time and think of this tactic, which is rare." He turned around and whispered, "The cavalry will get on the horse, and lead the troops to the battle with all their loyalty."

"Okay," Ma Jinzhong said loudly excitedly.

After the banner was fought, the cavalry troops boarded the horses, waiting for the military order to come out of the battle. When the horses of Song Dynasty were not needed, the cavalry would lead the horses and ride only on the horses in the camp and practice martial arts on earth. However, the Xijing camp relied on the convenience of trade with the Xia Kingdom. Although the war horses were expensive, they were not short of them. The cavalry soldiers had cavalry, Weilu, Yunqi, Xiaosheng, etc. Each soldier and horse were two thousand to five thousand. When Cao Di protected the horses south, the elite troops of Xijing came out in full swing. There were more than 20,000 cavalrymen accompanying them. Most of them were in the army for generations. The children of the Cao family and their old subordinates were everywhere. There were brothers, fathers and sons, uncles and uncles in the camp, and the top and bottom were as one. They were also the biggest reliance for the Cao family to stand in the court.

"Master," Ma Jinzhong shouted, "The cavalry is waiting to go out of the battle."

"Wait a little longer," Cao Di frowned, looked straight at the battlefield ahead, and murmured, "Strange and strange"

Ma Jinzhong followed his eyes and opened his eyes wide. He saw that the cavalry of the town and the Khitan cavalry had already fought together, and the two armies were in conflict. Unexpectedly, the town and the cavalry were invincible. The Khitan cavalry actually avoided both sides and said in surprise, "What's going on? Just these southern cavalry?"

However, the scene in front of him would not be lie. Ma Jinzhong looked at it again and found that although the movements of the town cavalry were very stiff, the formation of the rushing formation was maintained very well. The cavalry was extremely tight between the two armies. When the two armies confronted each other, almost every Liao cavalry holding a scimitar had to face three or four Song troops holding big guns. No matter how powerful his martial arts were, he could not resist the Khitan cavalry. On the contrary, they rushed towards the Song cavalry from all directions. However, they clearly had a huge numerical advantage, and when they rushed to the Song cavalry, they still faced the unfavorable situation of attacking the crowd with few armor and cavalry that were far more powerful than the Song tent cavalry, they rushed to the cavalry formation. One or two scimitar spears had no power to compete with each other when facing several times the large guns, and even the entire cavalry formation.

Some Liao cavalry rushed forward and shouted loudly, trying to use fright to disperse the Song cavalry formation. Other Liao cavalry simply shot arrows around the Song cavalry formation, and the arrows shot towards the Song army like raindrops. However, the Beiweiying cavalry were full of heavy armor hanging up and down. The bow and arrow power used by ordinary cavalry could not penetrate Zhang Xian, Yue Yun and other cavalry generals fully implemented Yue Fei's military orders during training, and tried their best to restrain their subordinates to maintain their formation, ignoring the harassment of the Khitan cavalry next to them. After five thousand iron cavalry swept across the battlefield like brooms, they turned their horses' heads, gathered again, and rushed towards the Liao cavalry.

"How could this happen?" Yelu Yanshan's face turned pale and furious. "The Song people were obviously not good at riding skills." He looked at the elite palace cavalry who rushed forward to fight, and then returned. This scene that could only happen in a nightmare made Yelu Yanshan's eyes burst into pieces. Several generals of the North Court surrounded Yelu Yanshan. One of them was brave and had a little higher eyesight and whispered: "General, these are probably not the Song army, but the cavalry of the Xia Kingdom."

"Yes," someone next to him suddenly realized, "This is a damn Xia people." The Liao generals next to him cursed, while the horse horses reported this speculation to His Majesty, gathered troops and horses to prepare for the Liao army and the Xia army to compete for power in the north of the desert for a long time. The two generals of the two countries also knew about the routines of cavalry fighting with each other. The Xia Kingdom occupied the northwest horse farm, and there was also a horse breed exchange with the Liao Kingdom. However, the tactics of the Xia Kingdom cavalry were very different from those of the Liao Kingdom. Xia Kingdom and Liao Kingdom competed for the tribes on the northern grasslands, step by step forcing the tribes that depended on the Liao army to migrate eastward, which had a great relationship with its powerful cavalry.

Compared with the Khitan cavalry who came and went like the wind, the Xia cavalry liked to ride good horses, and used strong armor and sharp soldiers to rush into the formation in a dense formation, they even tied the cavalry's waist and legs together with leather ropes and mounts. Although the Xia cavalry was powerful, there were also some knowledgeable people in the Liao court who suggested to train the cavalry according to the Xia warfare techniques. However, the Khitans had their own customs and pride. Although the Xia cavalry was powerful, it consumed a lot of horsepower and was not conducive to long-term battles. Therefore, this military system has never been implemented. However, the threat brought by the Xia cavalry was not comparable to that of the Song cavalry.

The war technique of Dong is quite similar to our dynasty.”

Su Dian lies in the dense grass, hiding his figure carefully, and observes the battlefield with a blackened small Qianli mirror. The Liao army's stopping horses patrolling the west was extremely strict. He could not slip away, so he simply returned to the center of the battlefield, hoping to escape from the battlefield from another direction, unexpectedly bumped into the battle between the Liao and Song armies. He thought he would die for a lifetime, so he simply saw it openly and peeked at the reality of the Liao and Song armies. After the Song army came, the iron cavalry swept the two wings, the central infantry formation pressure was under pressure.

After a moment of ease, the bombardment of the iron barrel cannons was reduced, and the Song army infantry approached the Liao army's defense line. The front line did not ignite the fire, but stabbed the gun, shouting and rushed forward and started a hand-to-hand combat with the Xi army who was defending the camp. At the same time, the Liao cavalry was mobilized again. It seemed that they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity when the Song army's formation was dispersed, and they rushed up to trample on the infantry. After several rushes, the horsepower gradually faded, and it was difficult to stop the Liao cavalry that rushed up like a tide.

"Ma Jinzhong - Go out of the battle" Cao Di ordered
