Han counter current

And the two thousand Liaoxi archers can change their mounts, or take advantage of their speed and formation to exchange positions to ensure rest.

"Is this why the lord wants to train cavalry archers? Could it be that the lord has lived on the grasslands before, otherwise how could he know this tactic?

I hate that my ability is limited, and I can't continue to improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, my lord, I am ashamed of you at the end..."

Cao Xing gradually realized the ingenuity of this escape and return shooting tactic, but he also felt that his ability was limited, but he was ashamed, ashamed, this guy's movements are not slow, and the skill of shooting three arrows in one hand has become a reality at this moment. The nightmare of chasing soldiers.

Chapter 160 Robbers Rampaging 2

Since ancient times, the cavalry of the grassland tribes has been dominated by light cavalry, which has a lot to do with the productivity and iron-making level on the grassland.

Most of the prairie light cavalry know how to ride and shoot, which is why the prairie cavalry can suppress the Han army.

It's just that now, the fighting style that the prairie cavalry is best at has been imitated by the Liaoxi cavalry, and then it has been further reformed and improved a lot.

In fact, from the beginning, this Xianbei cavalry did not care about the combat effectiveness of this Liaoxi Han cavalry. The Han also formed a larger cavalry, but it was not impossible to retain it in the end.

Not to mention, a few years ago, Gongsun Zan imitated the fighting style of the Xianbei cavalry to form a fierce and tenacious White Horse Yicong.

Such an elite team, which combines the cavalry and shooting skills of the Xianbei light cavalry and the bravery of the Han army, once caused a lot of damage to the alien race on the Liaodong grassland.

Many older Xianbei cavalry even feared Baima Yicong, but now, Baima Yicong has become history.

When Lu Bu served in Bingzhou, he also used the existing cavalry in Bingzhou as a basis, and at the same time learned the fierce spirit of the Huns cavalry, trained and formed the famous Bingzhou wolf cavalry.

The Bingzhou wolf cavalry used rushing and entanglement as their main means of attack. They once dragged down their grassland opponents one after another, and then they crossed the Central Plains until Lu Bu's defeat ended their era.

Dong Zhuo was also a willful hero when he was young. When he realized that there were wars all over Xiliang, and only power can maintain peace.

Based on his friends and domestic servants, he recruited Xiliang local men into the army and formed the vicious Xiliang iron cavalry.

The Qiang people near Xiliang were basically repaired by Dong Zhuo. At the beginning, Dong Zhuo was able to control the government because of the support of his Xiliang cavalry.

Outside Hulao Pass, the reason why the [-]th Route princes did not dare to take a step forward was not only because of Lu Bu and other powerful generals blocking them, but also because the combat power of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was much higher than that of the Kwantung Allied Forces.

It is a pity that with the death of Dong Zhuo and the escape of Zhang Xiu, the former 30 Xiliang iron cavalry has become a thing of the past.

Only the nomadic cavalry on the prairie has been passed down. They have withstood the test of God and recovered their lives from the knife of fierce opponents.

For hundreds of years, they have been living endlessly, even if their equipment is simple, their fighting methods and skills have never been lost.

Therefore, the prairie cavalry will always have an inexplicable sense of superiority when facing the cavalry formed by the Han people in the Central Plains. After all, they are the ancestors of the cavalry, and they are a nation on horseback.

They have lived on horseback since they were five years old, and they have a riding career of more than ten or twenty years. This kind of background makes them look down on the Central Plains cavalry who rely on excellent equipment and huge logistics.

It is also because of this factor that this Xianbei cavalry is desperate when chasing the opponent.

They believe that the opponent's riding career is definitely not as long as their own side. As long as their side persists, their enemies must be the first to collapse.

It stands to reason that neither the Xianbei leader nor the Xianbei cavalry were wrong. The Liaoxi cavalry they pursued had not been in contact with war horses for more than three years on average.

If the equipment and auxiliary cavalry of both sides are the same, it is estimated that these Liaoxi cavalry have fallen under their swords now.

But the problem is that the equipment of the cavalry in western Liaoning is much better than theirs, and they even have one or two more horses than them.

Even if the cavalry level of the Liaoxi cavalry is not as good as that of the Xianbei cavalry, relying on the advantages of these equipment, their combat effectiveness has far surpassed that of the Xianbei cavalry.

"We can't chase anymore, leader. Our warrior has only one horse. If we continue to chase like this, our horse will be exhausted. Our warrior will just fall on the way of pursuit, but we won't even be able to touch the enemy's clothes."

An elderly commander has realized that this way of fighting will only bring them more disasters. If they don't stop it in time, they don't know how much they will suffer.

"Bastards, these cunning Han Chinese, cunning Han Chinese, stop, we withdraw."

The leader of Xianbei also discovered this problem. After chasing for fifty miles, the warriors on his side were exhausted and panting, and many horses were about to foam, but the enemy still kept a distance of more than 70 steps.

At this distance, their bows and arrows cannot touch the opponent, but the opponent can shoot them. At this distance, they can only follow the enemy's trail to eat ashes, while their opponents can take turns to rest, even on horseback. Drink water and eat.

The distance of fifty miles is not too far for the cavalry, but more than 3000 of the more than 500 Xianbei cavalry fell during the fifty-mile pursuit.

If the pursuit continues like this, it is not known how many people will fall, and it is even more difficult to say how many will be able to return to the tribe in the end.

"Blow the horn, turn around and chase, disperse and surround, tell the brothers, we have been chased for such a long way, now it's time for us to vent..."

Seeing that the pursuers had stopped and wanted to turn around, Cao Xing immediately ordered to change the fighting method. After being chased by others like a dog for so long, a normal person would have a temper.

"Bastard, this group of wolves, they actually want to chase us, turn around, turn around, charge..."

Faced with the provocation of the western Liaoning cavalry, the leader of Xianbei exploded in anger. He has never seen such a bully, let alone such a shameless one.

"Hehe, my temper is quite stubborn, so I still have physical strength, pass the order, let's run,,,,,,"

Cao Xing was taught such a shameless tactic by Chen Feng a few months ago. Now, what he has to do is to integrate this shameless tactic into his cavalry archers, so that every soldier is familiar with it. Tactics.

After the two sides chased each other for twenty miles, the Xianbei cavalry couldn't hold it anymore. Many people had fallen behind. There was no way. They didn't bring more mounts before the battle. They thought it was just a fight that could solve the problem , who would have thought that the opponent would play horse riding with him.

"I'm tired now, blow the horn, and send 1000 people up to try, if they still have energy, then take them for another run..."

This tactic of relying on the ability of soldiers to ride and shoot and horses to travel long distances is actually not new. To be precise, all tribes on the grassland will use this tactic.

They also often use it on weekdays, especially when facing the cavalry formed by the Han people in the Central Plains, they have used it a lot.

But the problem is, to bring this set of tactics to good effect, it's not just a matter of horses and equipment.

The physical strength and combat effectiveness of the soldiers are naturally also key factors, but what is more important is the perseverance of the cavalry and the commanding ability of the cavalry commander.

The general team has been chased for more than ten miles and has long since lost its organizational structure. Everyone is busy fleeing for their lives. If they can still gather together after being chased for thirty miles, they are definitely considered elite.

It is absolutely rare for such a person to be chased for more than 70 miles without a single person running around, let alone falling behind.

It is difficult for outsiders to imagine how much effort and money Chen Feng invested in this horse archer.

During the period of training the cavalry archers, one by one war horses were led into the army, and then one by one wounded or disabled horses were taken away, and many healthy soldiers were trampled to death because they accidentally fell off their horses. Meat puree.

Many people's inner thighs have been ground and bloody due to long-term training in riding skills. Most of the cavalry have become bow-legged after each training.

Withstood such arduous training, there was this small number of cavalry archers with super combat effectiveness.

If they were not very familiar with the current tactics, the three thousand Xianbei cavalry chasing them would have already become their military exploits to show off.

"Report,,,,,,"

A group of cavalry dressed as Hu people rushed over on horseback and reported to Meng Zhanhui: "There are two cavalry fighting twenty miles ahead, and one of them seems to be the Liaoxi cavalry. They are running towards the south."

"To the south, it seems that we have caught up with the right time. Come on, send an order, we will go directly to the south. According to the distance, we will reach Langtou Mountain first, so let's wait there."

Meng Zhan had lived on the grassland since he was born, and his familiarity with and use of cavalry had reached a very high level. When he heard that the Liaoxi cavalry was chasing the enemy, he immediately thought of ambush instead of going directly to help.

"Here we come, ready to fight,,,,,,"
