How could they possibly compare to the Khitans and Xi people, who grew up on horseback?
Although it is known that infantry is more difficult to deal with than cavalry.
However, Xiao Gan was the head coach.
It's not his place to be picky.
When both sides were getting impatient,
The resounding bugle call finally echoed from the Liao camp.
Thirty-five thousand cavalrymen sprang into action.
Zhao Yuan saw the Liao cavalry charging towards him.
He then ordered the cavalry on both flanks to meet them.
Tens of thousands of cavalrymen galloped off.
The entire battlefield was instantly filled with dust.
The sound of horses' hooves converged and roared like thunder.
The ground shook.
The cavalry on both flanks clashed first.
Hua Rong fired a rapid-fire arrow from his powerful bow.
The Xi people opposite them immediately fell from their horses.
Nearby,
They just switched to steel guns.
Whether by pricking or picking,
They dismounted the Xi people one by one.
On the other side, Zhu Tong's broadsword was also invincible.
The knife saw blood.
However, overall,
More Han Chinese fell from their horses than Xi people.
The Liang cavalry had only been formed for a little over a year.
I have had contact with livestock before.
At most, they might ride a donkey or an ox.
Very few people have actually ridden a horse.
The Xi people grew up on horseback from a young age.
Xiao Gan's Xi army was also a seasoned veteran.
The two armies clashed.
Although the equipment of the Liang army was better than that of the Xi army,
If it was from being hit by an arrow
Liang Jun could fight with dozens of sharp arrows.
Because of the armor protecting them
Even if hit by an arrow, the arrow cannot penetrate deeply.
But close-quarters combat
Many Liang soldiers were knocked off their horses by the Xi people.
Suo Chao saw the Khitan soldiers charging towards his vanguard.
He gripped the axe tightly in his hand.
I wish I could ride up and meet them like Hua Rong and Zhu Tong.
However, his troops were mainly infantry.
They could only rely on a tight formation to stop the cavalry.
He could only grit his teeth and watch the Khitan soldiers charge towards him.
"shoot!"
The Khitan soldiers had just entered firing range.
The sharp arrows were like locusts during a plague, blotting out the sky.
The archers, divided into three groups, continuously drew their bows and fired arrows.
This resulted in a near-continuous barrage of arrows from the sky.
One by one, the Khitan soldiers screamed as they fell from their horses.
They were subsequently trampled into mincemeat by their comrades.
Nearly a thousand people were injured or killed.
Only then could cavalry charge into the front lines of the Liang army.
"throw!"
Gave an order,
The fire-throwing soldiers in the front row then threw out the lit fire-throwing bombs one by one.
"boom!!"
"boom"
"boom!"
Loud explosions echoed across the battlefield.
The cavalry, who were the first to be hit, were either killed or wounded.
Many of the warhorses behind were startled.
Running around everywhere,
Few warhorses dared to charge ahead amidst the constant roaring sounds.
Chapter 1850 Khitan Cavalry
A few warhorses charged straight ahead.
What awaited them was a forest of spears.
They crashed into the spear, man and horse tangled together.
Yelü Dashi hadn't expected that the Han infantry, now equipped with firearms, would be even more difficult to deal with.
The cavalrymen who had finally broken through the rain of arrows fell to the firearms.
In a short time, the Khitan cavalry had lost two or three thousand men.
However, the Liang vanguard's gunfire did not break through.
But behind it lies Nanjing, the only remaining of the five capitals of the Liao Dynasty.
Yelü Dashi had no way out.
The only option left was to use the last of the Khitan cavalry to confront this porcupine covered in thorns.
Xiao Gan led the Xi army and clashed with Hua Rong's cavalry.
He was nearly shot off his horse by an arrow from afar by Hua Rong.
However, his martial arts skills were also quite good.
He narrowly dodged Hua Rong's arrow.
After that, I didn't encounter any opponents.
Soon Xiao Gan led the Xi army through Hua Rong's cavalry.
Arriving at the flank of the central army,
He was met with a hail of bullets as well.
Although Xiao Gan could hear continuous loud noises from the front lines,
But I also want to try out the Liang army formation.
He immediately dispatched a thousand cavalry to attack the flank of the central army of Daliang.
After a volley of arrows,
Of the thousand cavalrymen, few remained.
Then came firearms.
Of the thousand cavalrymen who charged into the hail of bullets, fewer than ten made it to the front.
None of the ten men were able to break through the hail of bullets.
Seeing how formidable the Liang army's formation was, Xiao Gan...
They dared not charge the central army again.
He then engaged Hua Rong's troops in battle with his cavalry.
The Xi people did not flee.
The first to be unable to bear it was Yelü Dashi.
His cavalry suffered over half their casualties but still failed to break through the enemy's line of fire.
The continuous barrage of fire and lightning deterred many warhorses that had already charged through the arrow rain from daring to charge directly into the hail of spears.
This allowed the spearmen to calmly deal with the few cavalrymen who charged at them.
"retreat."
Yelü Dashi gritted his teeth and gave the order to the messenger beside him.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The powerful sound of bugles rang out.
The Khitan cavalry turned their horses and retreated.
Xiao Gan was still leading his troops to annihilate the cavalry of Daliang.
Upon hearing that Yelü Dashi had taken the lead in retreating...
He couldn't help but curse loudly.
"Damn Khitans,"
"We're not fighting anymore, let's retreat."
Upon hearing this, the messenger beside him...
They immediately sounded the horn.
In Xiao Gan's view,
As long as the Liang cavalry is annihilated,
Sooner or later, they will be able to tear apart the Liang army's formation.
Once the army's formation is broken...
The power of archers and firearms will be reduced.
Especially firearms,
Once a chaotic battle breaks out...
Firearms capable of causing mass destruction would then become unusable.
