Chapter 385

Hearing Tang Yin's question, Shi Lexuan's face suddenly showed contempt. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, my king. Others are afraid of the Mo cavalry, but my Ninth Army is not. This time, it will be easy to defeat the enemy!"

Wow! This tone is big enough! In the first battle of Fengmo, we suffered a lot from the Mo cavalry. It is surprising that the Ninth Army is so confident.

Tang Yin raised the corner of his mouth slightly and reminded slowly: "General Shi, do you understand that there is no joking in the army?"

"I understand, I am not kidding! If my Ninth Army cannot defeat the Mo cavalry, I and all the soldiers of the army will come to see the king with their heads!" Shi Lexuan said firmly.

"Is this the military order you issued?" Tang Yin narrowed his eyes and asked softly with a smile.

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

"Okay! Pass on my order, the Ninth Army will charge all the way, and make sure to take down the Mo Kingdom cavalry!"

"I obey your order!" Shi Lexuan bowed again on his horse, then turned his horse's head and returned to the main camp.

He galloped back to Qi Heng, and seeing that the latter was looking at him with an inquiring look, he chuckled and said, "Your Majesty has ordered my Ninth Army to go to battle!"

"You should have said it earlier!" Qi Heng took a deep breath and cheered up. While taking his Nine-Turn Soul-Breaking Sword from the Victory Hook, he muttered in dissatisfaction, "It's been so long, the Mo Army still thinks we are afraid of them!"

Shi Lexuan leaned closer to Qi Heng and whispered, "I think your Majesty is scared by the Mo Kingdom cavalry. If I hadn't signed a military order with you, I would go to see you with my head if I didn't defeat the Mo Kingdom cavalry. I guess you might not be willing to order a battle now!"

"Oh?" Qi Heng also grinned after hearing this.

"General, the reputation of the Mo cavalry is too great. I think not only the king is afraid of it, but also the soldiers of the whole army are afraid of it! This is a great opportunity for the general to perform meritorious service. As long as we defeat the Mo cavalry, my brothers in the Ninth Army will be superior and superior wherever they go in the future." When speaking, Shi Lexuan's face was full of excitement.

Qi Heng's eyes lit up, and he secretly said that it made sense! The Feng Army has defeated the Mo Army countless times, and the only thing it has not defeated is the Mo cavalry. If he can do this today, no matter who it is, he and the Ninth Army will have to look at him and the Ninth Army differently in the future.

Thinking of this, he shook the Nine-turn Soul-breaking Sword in his palm, raised his head and said, "What are you waiting for? Pass on my military order, all the brothers in the army, follow me to fight!"

"Yes!" Shi Lexuan agreed, and then passed on Qi Heng's generals. Seeing the flags on their side waving, the drummers in the army began to beat the war drums together.

Dong, Dong, Dong! The drums sounded together, and the war horses neighed. The war horses in the army were also psychic. When they heard the drums and knew that they were going to the battlefield, they became extremely excited.

Amid the deafening drums, the cavalry of the Ninth Army began to advance together. At first, the war horses were jogging, but as the distance between them was shortened, the war horses changed from jogging to sprinting. The full-speed charge of 100,000 cavalrymen was so spectacular that it was like a tidal wave. Even miles away, one could clearly feel the vibration of the ground and the dull roar.

Seeing the wind cavalry coming towards them, the dust was several meters high, as if a hurricane was blowing, and the Mo cavalrymen couldn't help but raise their hearts to their throats.

Usually, they brought this strong shock and oppression to the enemy, but now the situation is the opposite.

The generals of the Mo cavalry shouted and commanded their subordinates to attack and fight. It didn't take long before the drums sounded in the Mo army camp, the horses neighed constantly, and the cavalry phalanx of more than 100,000 people charged forward together.

At that time, the cavalry tactics of the Mo Kingdom were the most mature and varied among all the other countries. Seeing the fierce wind cavalry on the opposite side, the Mo cavalry quickly split into three cavalry teams in the process of fighting.

The cavalry team in the middle did not change its direction and continued to fight head-on with the wind cavalry, while the other two cavalry teams dispersed to both sides at the same time, preparing to go around the sides of the Ninth Army and launch an attack from the flanks.

Qi Heng was able to keep his composure, keep the same in the face of all changes, and move forward. Most of his cavalry tactics were learned from Xiao Na, which were intact Besa cavalry tactics.

Heavy cavalry is different from light cavalry. It does not have high mobility. When facing light cavalry, it is mainly based on central breakthroughs. As for the attacks on the two sides, it is mainly based on defense. If the heavy cavalry also fights separately like the light cavalry, it is equivalent to being led by the nose by the light cavalry, and finally loses because of its low mobility.

Qi Heng knew clearly what his advantages and disadvantages were, so he was not moved at all when he saw the Mo cavalry on the opposite side adopting the tactic of splitting troops.

Soon, the cavalry of the two armies were less than a hundred steps apart, which was within the range of the Mo cavalry. The Mo cavalry took the lead in attacking, and the archers in the camp drew their bows and arrows, aiming at the opposite Feng army, and shot arrows together.

The power of the cavalry arrow formation is also very terrifying. The force of the arrow shooting combines the inertia of the warhorse when sprinting. One arrow shot is often powerful.

If they were ordinary infantry or cavalry, the opponent might suffer a great loss, but this time they were heavy cavalry, a "monster" made of steel fused together, and the Mo cavalry's arrow formation lost its previous power.

Countless arrows fell into the formation of the wind cavalry, and a series of crisp sounds were heard in the ears, but looking around, there was not even a head of a person who was hit by an arrow and fell off the horse. Such a strange scene made the faces of the Mo cavalry on the opposite side change greatly.

The generals in the army suppressed the panic and fear in their hearts and shouted repeatedly: "Shoot! Keep shooting! Don't stop--"

Under the repeated urging of General Mo, the archers used all their strength when pulling the strings. The dense arrow formation was like a storm, constantly flying from the heads of the Mo cavalry into the air, and then smashing into the camp of the wind cavalry from the air.

However, the effect of the next arrow formation was similar to the first round of arrow formation. It could not break the thick armor of the heavy cavalry. Amidst the crisp sounds, the arrows shot at the heavy cavalry and horses bounced back to the ground.

The arrow formation of the Mo cavalry was only launched four rounds, and the soldiers of both sides had already come into contact. The cavalry of both sides collided head-on. Some soldiers were able to pass each other, but some soldiers collided with each other.

At this time, the strength of the Pabu horse came into play. When the two horses collided, the Mo cavalry often rolled to the ground with the horse and fell into a ball. On the other hand, the wind cavalry on the other side was only shaken back a few steps, kicked its hooves, shook its head, and then continued to charge forward.

The Mo cavalry had never encountered such a terrible opponent as the heavy cavalry. Arrows could not hurt the opponent, and collisions could not knock the opponent down. Even if they stabbed the opponent with long spears and lances, they could not hurt the opponent at all. This was simply a monster with steel bones!

They had no way to deal with the wind cavalry, and they could not think of a way to crack it, but the wind cavalry did not show mercy to them.

The heavy knights held up their long steel spears and ruthlessly pierced the armor and bodies of the Mo cavalry. In the chaotic battlefield, the screams of the Mo cavalry were endless, and the Mo soldiers who fell off their horses were like dumplings.

The battlefield was full of corpses of Mo cavalrymen, and their blood had dyed the ground red.

Just when the Mo cavalrymen were in a passive position and the situation was about to collapse, two other cavalrymen arrived and launched a fierce attack from the two wings of the Ninth Army.

The Ninth Army responded very quickly. The soldiers on both wings turned their horses' heads and formed a defensive formation to resist the attacking Mo cavalrymen.

The battle between the two sides on the two wings was not much different from the confrontation between the front army. The Mo cavalrymen still had no way to deal with the heavy armor of the wind cavalrymen. They could not hurt the other side, but the other side could easily hurt them. How could they continue such a battle?

Actual combat is the best test of the mutual restraint of arms. Although light cavalry and heavy cavalry are both cavalrymen, the difference in their combat power is too great. If there is really a way to restrain light cavalry, it is only heavy cavalry. As for the arms that can restrain heavy cavalry, it still depends on infantry. Of course, the premise is that the infantry must adopt the correct tactics. When Tang Yin was the county chief of Pingyuan County, he defeated Besa's heavy cavalry with his infantry, thus changing the passive situation on the border of Feng State.

Tang Yin knew thousands of years of Chinese history, and even if he just listened to the commentary, he knew that cutting the horse's legs was a way to restrain the heavy cavalry. Cutting the horse's legs to restrain the heavy cavalry was not a fabrication in the commentary. It was a real historical event that happened in the Song Dynasty. The Song army defeated the heavy cavalry of the Jin Dynasty in this way. So when Tang Yin encountered the heavy cavalry, he could think of a way by tapping his head. But the Mo army had never come into contact with heavy cavalry before, so it was impossible for them to come up with a countermeasure on the battlefield like Tang Yin did by tapping their heads.

The Mo cavalry, which is known for its speed, bravery and good fighting skills and can sweep across the world's armies, has met its real nemesis this time. The central army could not resist the advance of the wind cavalry and was defeated repeatedly. The Mo cavalry attacking on both wings could not tear open the outer defense line of the wind cavalry and posed no substantial threat. In the following battle, the battlefield became completely one-sided. A large number of Mo soldiers died tragically under the iron hoof of the Ninth Army. More than 100,000 Mo cavalry were lost in less than an hour of fighting.

At this point in the battle, not only were the Mo cavalry in a panic, but the soldiers were beaten to a loss. The three Mo army commanders watching the battle from behind were also panicked. They even didn't understand what kind of soldiers the Feng Kingdom used.

If it was cavalry, how could it be so powerful? Both the people and the horses were wearing such heavy armor. How could the war horses still run? If they were not cavalry, then what were they? They were clearly riding horses!

He Cong, the commander of the Tianyang Army, was the first to shake his head and muttered in a trembling voice: "We can't fight anymore! We can't continue this battle. If we continue, our cavalry will be wiped out!"
