Chapter 595 Encircling and Suppressing Tartar Iron Cavalry
Under the unified order, the three thousand archers immediately turned their arrows and fired a salvo at the Tartar archers camp (archers usually gather in one camp to shoot concentratedly, because the aim of bows and arrows is not as high as that of guns, only salvos can exert their greatest power. It is the same reason that early Westerners had to get together to fire when using muskets).Three thousand sharp arrows whizzed out, densely packed to make people get goosebumps, and the sound of arrows piercing through the air could be clearly heard when they fell, and because they used a strong bow weighing more than 120 jin, once they were shot, they would definitely wear Armour!In this round of volley, the Tartar archers suffered four or five hundred casualties!
However, the archers on both sides did not have too much time to wreak havoc, because the two sides immediately engaged in hand-to-hand fighting, and the archers were no longer easy to use.

The Ming army left a thousand archers, occupying favorable terrain, and waiting for an opportunity to attack places where the Tartar soldiers were relatively concentrated.The other two thousand directly put down their bows and arrows, took out their short weapons, and joined the battlefield.

Just as the two sides were fighting along both sides of the official road, about two thousand Tartar cavalry broke through the crowd, circled behind the officers and soldiers, brandishing sabers and began to wreak havoc.As the strongest cavalry in Asia at that time, they were extremely high in both tactics and personal qualities. They rode horses galloping at the hands of the soldiers of the coalition army, and their sharp sabers kept slashing cold lights.The coalition soldiers had to deal with the Tartar soldiers in front of them, and at the same time guard against the Tartar cavalry running around behind them. They were extremely passive for a while, and many soldiers were beheaded by the Tartar cavalry.

Seeing this scene not far away, Qin Shuhuai couldn't help shouting, "Where's Zhang Xiao? Where did his horse soldiers die?"

After arriving here, Qin Shuhuai asked Zhang Xiao, who was relatively familiar with horse warfare, to lead the horse soldiers, but he didn't explain how he would do it, because he didn't think he had the right to tell him how to use the horse soldiers, so he didn't know how the horse soldiers were. Where did you go.

The Ming army brought five thousand cavalry this time, all of them were martial arts experts who were good at equestrianism and cavalry specially trained by the Jianghe gang. Although their combat power may not be comparable to that of the Tartar cavalry, it is certain that five thousand against two thousand is enough.However, Qin Shuhuai has not seen a single cavalry until now, so he is furious.

Seeing the enemy's horsemen raging, but his own horsemen are missing, can he not be angry?

Qiu Dali who was beside him quickly said, "Zhang Xiao and Li Jingting each brought [-] cavalry, and they said they charged in from both ends of the ambush area!"

Qin Shuhuai stood up and looked into the distance, but it was so dark that he couldn't see anything.No wonder, there were 5000 Tazi soldiers, the team stretched for five or six miles, and the ambush area was also five or six miles long. Qin Shuhuai naturally couldn't see the situation at both ends.

However, Zhang Xiao and Li Jingting's decision was not wrong. The infantry rushed to both sides, and the cavalry rushed to both ends. After rushing into the enemy's hinterland, they could wreak havoc. This tactic must not be chosen.

But in this way, the two thousand Tartar cavalry had to be dealt with by the infantry.And it will not be cheap for infantry to deal with two thousand cavalry.

Qin Shuhuai originally thought that the generals of the Shasha Jianghe Gang and even the allied forces would like to personally charge into the battle, so he chose to sit in the rear, but after seeing this group of cavalry, he couldn't help itching his hands again!
Thinking of this, he said to He Kegang beside him, "General He, you sit here, and I will come whenever I go."

He Kegang knew that Qin Shuhuai's miraculous skills were world-class, so he wasn't worried about his safety, but just told him, "Master Hou, be careful."

Qiu Dali immediately said, "I'll go with you!"

Since Qiu Dali learned the Yi Jin Jing and Nine Suns Divine Art, his skill has also increased greatly. Now he is at the sixth level of the Xiaocheng Realm, and he has been holding back his energy to kill the enemy.

Qin Shuhuai nodded, "Then master, be careful."

Then he pulled out the Yitian Sword and shouted to the reserve team behind him, "Jianghe Gang Law Enforcement Hall, Dharma Protector Hall, come with me!"

These two halls were slightly damaged in the previous battles, but the main force is intact, and there are more than 300 people in total.When everyone heard Qin Shuhuai's order, they drew out their weapons and shouted in unison, "Kill!"

Follow Qin Shuhuai and rush away.

Zhiren, Wang Datong, Chang Wuji and others who had been standing on the sidelines watched the battle, and chose to follow after seeing it. Qin Shuhuai would not take the initiative to let them fight in a battle that is usually guaranteed, because they are all famous in the martial arts world after all. Senior, Qin Shuhuai didn't dare to use them as soldiers.This kind of battle depends entirely on themselves.

There are also cavalry in the Law Enforcement Hall and the Guardian Hall of the Jianghe Gang, and there are about five hundred cavalry in total.The rest were shields, crossbowmen, and swordsmen, trained to fight cavalry.

More than 300 people, led by Qin Shuhuai, went straight to the [-] Tartar cavalry.

At this time, Meng Wei had also organized 3000 people to deal with the 3000 cavalry.Among the 500 people, [-] used long spears—most of these people came from sects known for long spears, such as the Iron Gunmen in Jiangnan.It couldn't be more suitable for the spear against the cavalry.

After a period of rampant charging, the Tartar cavalry's horses' physical fitness has been greatly reduced. They have reduced the frequency of charges and turned to small-scale mobile warfare.

Qin Shuhuai led more than 500 Jianghe gang cavalry, like a sharp knife, inserted into the formation of the Tartar cavalry, cutting them into two sections.Then, the Jianghe gang's cavalry divided into two groups, and charged towards both sides.At the same time, Jiang He's shield soldiers stood in front, responsible for protecting the crossbowmen's strafing shots, and giving the sword soldiers a place to hide after attacking.These shield soldiers are all strong and well-cultivated people. Even if the heavy cavalry rushes over, they can still use their big shields to hold back in a one-on-one situation!

Apparently, these Jianghe gang members had undergone strict training against cavalry, and they played defensively and offensively with great discipline.

Originally, the 2000 martial arts coalition soldiers fought against the [-] Tartar cavalry in a chaotic and disorderly manner, but with the addition of more than [-] people from the Jianghe gang, they immediately stabilized their positions and restored order.

So, it's time for them to perform!
The coalition soldiers first surrounded the Tartar cavalry that had been cut into two groups, and then carried out encirclement and suppression.

The coalition infantry who were good at lightness kung fu jumped up and killed the Tartar cavalry one after another.For a time, the battlefield was full of figures jumping up and landing lightly, like countless swift swallows up and down, rising and falling one after another, which was spectacular.

The infantrymen of the coalition army, who were inferior in lightness skills, directly chopped off the horse's legs and stabbed the horse's body. After the horse was brought down, they swarmed up and chopped the fallen Tartar cavalry into meat paste.

As for the coalition infantry with long spears, they fought even more happily.These people have practiced long spears since they were young, and the silver spears in everyone's hands are shining coldly, with a variety of tricks, such as "Overlord Spear", "Zilong Thirteen Styles", "Tiangang Lieyang Spear", as long as there are well-known marksmanship in the world. Seen here, four or five hundred silver guns, each of which is dancing vigorously, dazzles people.As the saying goes, there will be passion only when there is comparison. Everyone is practicing long spears. In the arena, there are always better long spears than which sect. Now that there is an intuitive comparison, no one wants to lose face of their own master. , One after another took out the kung fu of pressing the bottom of the box!
Needless to say, Zhiren, Wang Datong, Chang Wuji and other experts, their figures clashed back and forth under the moonlight, and there must be blood flashes every time they passed.Qiu Dali worked hard even more. This was his first time in battle, and his eyes were red from the very beginning, and he desperately went to the place where the Tartar cavalry was densest.Everyone in the Jianghu knew that he was the master of the leader of the martial arts. If he didn't kill him hard now, wouldn't he be laughed at?

As for Qin Shuhuai, as usual, with a Yitian sword, he set off a roaring sword energy, and quickly harvested the heads.What the sword qi passed by, let alone a person, even a war horse was cut in half with a single knife!

The Tartar cavalrymen turned on their backs immediately, and fell off their horses one by one like dumplings, and were quickly eliminated by half.

Known as the most elite cavalry in Asia, they were suddenly beaten to pieces by the martial arts allied forces, who were once regarded as empty-handed and did not know how to fight.
