Chapter 340
Three thousand javelins shot out, but Jebe and his cavalry suddenly turned their horses and retreated northwest.The time calculation was so accurate that people were speechless. Before Ma Chao's javelin reached the cavalry, the Mongolian cavalry quickly turned their horses and left.

Of course, although Jebe was accurate in terms of timing, there were also some strong men in Ma Chao's army who threw the javelin farther, especially Ma Chao.After the Mongolian cavalry turned around and retreated, most of the three thousand javelins fell through, and many slanted into the ground.

However, there were also strong men who threw javelins into the Mongolian cavalry who had turned their horses' heads, but the number of javelins that could be thrown into the Mongolian cavalry was only about a hundred.The javelin was so powerful that when it shot into the Mongolian cavalry camp with their backs facing him, it also shot down dozens or hundreds of people.

Although nearly a hundred Mongolian cavalry were killed before the confrontation, Ma Chao was not satisfied with the result at all.What he wanted was to bring down two rounds of javelins to disrupt the Mongolian cavalry camp, and then Baima Yicong rushed to suppress them with bows and arrows on both wings, and after a few rounds of throwing, he led the army to charge over.

Seeing that all the javelin attacks of his own army had failed, Ma Chao frowned. These soldiers and horses were very different from those of the Qiang people in ordinary times.Moreover, the commander-in-chief was actually so decisive. If the order to retreat was delayed at night, they must have suffered heavy casualties.

Ma Chao instantly felt that this Mongolian cavalry was not so easy to deal with.

But who is Ma Mengqi?How can you easily back down?What's more, Ma Chao now bears a deep blood feud, and these Mongolian cavalry can be said to be irreconcilable, how can he let them run?As soon as the Mongolian cavalry retreated, Ma Chao immediately galloped his horse in pursuit, and shouted loudly, "Brothers follow me, don't let the dog get away!"

Ma Chao led [-] cavalry as the main force, while Zhao Yun and Li Yuanfang each led [-] white horsemen galloping on both sides.Seeing the retreat of the Mongolian cavalry, Zhao Yun led Li Yuanfang to catch up in an instant.

But this chase fell right into the arms of the Mongolian cavalry, and it was up to the Mongolian cavalry to control the rhythm.

When Ma Chao's cavalry chased them, the distance between the two armies was more than 20 feet, but the javelin could not hit the Mongolian cavalry at this distance, but the arrows of the Mongolian light cavalry could hit Ma Chao's cavalry.

Moreover, each of Ma Chao's cavalry carried a few javelins and a lot of luggage.Its speed is much slower than that of the Mongolian cavalry shooting on horseback. This also shows that it is impossible for the three thousand javelin cavalry to catch up with the Mongolian cavalry, but the Mongolian cavalry can continuously shoot arrows to harass Ma Chao's cavalry.

In this way, Ma Chao's cavalry could not catch up with the Mongolian cavalry, nor could they attack the Mongolian cavalry, so they were sent kites by the Mongolian cavalry.

On the battlefield, while the Mongolian cavalry in front were galloping to the northwest, every cavalry was doing the same action.In front of the horses, they took out arrows from the quiver and bent them on the short and light horse bows.Then he clamped his legs tightly to the horse's belly, twisted his body backwards, and shot the arrow backwards.

They don't need to aim, they all move in unison and are extremely skilled.After the arrows shot upward towards the sky, they formed beautiful arcs one by one.Arrows gathered in the sky, like a bridge built of arrows. The black arrow shafts and silver-white arrowheads converged into a two-color rainbow.

The two ends of the two-color rainbow, one end is in the Mongolian cavalry, and the other end is falling towards Ma Chao's cavalry camp.Connected in the middle are arrows shot continuously from the hands of the Mongolian cavalry.

The horse bow is slightly different from the step bow. The step bow is longer, and has a long attack distance and great power.The horse bow is relatively short, and its attack distance is shorter than that of the step bow, and the power of the arrow is much smaller.

However, the horse bow also has the advantages of the horse bow. Because of its lightness, it is also easy to open the bow and shoot arrows on the horse.

Although the power of this arrow is not as powerful as the step bow, it does not affect its use at all, because this tactic does not kill the enemy at once with the arrow.His trick lies in grinding the word, grinding the enemy to death alive!
The quiver carried by the Mongolian cavalry has three large bags and more than a hundred arrows, which can be used continuously.If the two of them entered the shooting range of the Mongolian cavalry's bow and arrow, with these arrows, the Mongolian cavalry could grind the enemy to death.escape?If it enters the attack range of the Mongolian cavalry, once the enemy flees, the Mongolian cavalry can quickly turn their horses to pursue.

Relying on the advantage of the horse's speed, this cavalry is like fighting guerrilla warfare.The enemy can't touch him, but he can keep suppressing the enemy.

In other words, under the arrows of the Mongolian cavalry, the rhythm of the battlefield has been completely controlled by the cavalry.

Ma Chao led the cavalry and chased them a few feet away, when they saw arrows continuously coming from the Mongolian cavalry ahead.Ma Chao's face changed, and a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes, and he shot right away, can these 5000 men and horses do it?Only Gongsun Zan's Baima Yicong can do it among the cavalry of the big man. Unfortunately, it has been wiped out now. Now the Baima Yicong in Zhao Yun's hand can also shoot arrows from the front. Although Baima Yicong can barely do it, it is not enough. proficient.If Baima Yicong shot back to fend off the enemy on the battlefield, I'm afraid the formation will be messed up, and if he charges down, he will definitely be defeated.

The dense arrows in the sky struck, Ma Chao quickly waved his dragon cavalry spear to resist, and shouted: "Raise your shield to defend against the enemy!"

Three thousand cavalry quickly raised those wooden shields, but the wooden shields were not big.They can't cover their heads, they can't cover their chests, they can't cover their chests, they can't cover their heads, and these bows and arrows were shot from their backs and fell into Ma Chao's army. Many of them fell from the sky.

As a result, in Ma Chao's army, there were screams again and again, and the cavalry could not make any mistakes on the way to gallop, let alone the cavalry was injured?Once injured by external force, the cavalry will immediately turn over and fall off the horse.

It's just that the power of this horse bow is not too great. Although the arrows hit many cavalrymen, they didn't die on the spot. They fell to the ground and groaned.

"Brothers, charge for me, hold on for a while, and rush into their army. They are only cavalry archers, and they can't kill us!" Ma Chao cheered the soldiers while waving their dragon cavalry guns.

Indeed, the tactic to deal with the kite flying in Mongolia is to rush to the past brutally. They are good at riding and shooting, but they are not good at fighting in battle.As long as you can rush to the Mongolian camp, you will win!
Ma Chao took the lead and galloped wildly, with arrows flying like flying arrows. He waved his dragon cavalry spear to resist, but gradually he found himself falling behind.Ma Chao's Li Feisha was extremely fast and could catch up with the Mongolian cavalry, but his cavalry could not catch up anyway, and his cavalry was always hung by the Mongolian cavalry.

Ma Chao was extremely surprised. This cavalry shot arrows while fleeing, and its speed was faster than our army's full gallop?Just in a daze, an arrow hit Ma Chao's arm.The arrow was not very powerful. To Ma Chao, it was just a mosquito bite. Ma Chao broke it off and looked at his cavalry camp.

I saw that they had been chasing for more than two miles. Although the power of the Mongolian cavalry's arrows was not too great, the emphasis was on the persistence. After chasing all the way, Ma Chao's cavalry was always within the range of the Mongolian cavalry's attack.

Looking from afar, the road was full of corpses of Majia cavalrymen, and because of the arrows thrown, many cavalrymen were already in disarray, and they were no longer maintaining a charge formation.The cavalry of the Ma family were also afraid of being kited by the Mongolian cavalry.

We can't catch up with them, and we can't attack them with javelins. If we keep chasing, why don't we all be shot to death by their arrows?

Ma Chao's cavalry had lost more than one-third, and Ma Chao's heart was bleeding. Although he could charge into the Mongolian cavalry camp by himself, what was the use?After all, cavalry combat is not the time for fierce generals to show off their bravery. Once they are deep in the enemy's line, how can there be lives?

Ma Chao couldn't bear the casualties of the cavalry under his command, so he quickly turned his horse's head and ordered: "Stop chasing and hide from the shooting range of the Mongolian cavalry!"

Stop the pursuit?Ma Chao thought that this would reduce casualties, but the Mongolian cavalry taught the young Ma Chao a profound lesson with bloody facts.When they stopped advancing, Ma Chao’s cavalry became live targets for the Mongolian cavalry. Most of them were Ma’s cavalry in cloth armor. The shields in their hands could only cover their vital points. Cavalry archery.

On the other side, Zhao Yun also sensed that something was wrong. He originally wanted Ma Chao's javelin cavalry to be the main force to defeat the foreign cavalry, but unexpectedly, the foreign cavalry flew a kite.

Zhao Yun's complexion changed drastically. Zhao Yun couldn't understand this kind of combat method. The Baima Yicong under Gongsun Zan's command that Zhao Yun once stayed with would know it.

In the past two years, Liu Bian not only asked Zhao Yun to train soldiers, but also hoped that Zhao Yun could become a qualified commander. Therefore, he tried his best to make Zhao Yun the commander of the White Horse Army, and he spared no expense to build this White Horse Army.

In addition to Liu Bian's love for Zhao Yun, there are also expectations. To be honest, Zhao Yun's attributes, in Liu Bian's opinion, the commander is not very eye-catching, and he can only act as a vanguard in the battle.But Liu Bian was not reconciled, people always come out of practice, so you should treat each other with admiration after a three-day farewell.Didn't Lu Meng also become a qualified commander if he followed Sun Quan's words and studied hard?
Liu Bian had strict requirements on Zhao Yun. He not only asked him to learn the art of war, but also asked him to ask Lu Zhi and others how to use soldiers.And Zhao Yun is also a hardworking person, the emperor had high hopes for him, how could Zhao Yun let Liu Bian down?
Apart from military training and martial arts, Zhao Yun only studied books, and besides this, Zhao Yun also thought about cavalry tactics, and naturally thought of Gongsun Zan's Baima Yicong's deciphering method.

In Zhao Yun's view, to use cavalry to defeat this method of warfare, the speed is actually faster than the enemy.Bow and light cavalry are speeding up and bullying people with arrows.If there is a cavalry faster than it in terms of speed, and it rushes over arrogantly, as long as the soldiers meet at close quarters, it will be regarded as a defeat of this method of warfare.

Speed, speed!The most important thing about cavalry is speed.

Zhao Yun rode his horse galloping towards Ma Chao's direction. Looking at the Mongolian cavalry, Zhao Yun vaguely felt that his own cavalry was no slower than them when galloping at full speed.

At this time, Ma Chao had no choice but to retreat, he could not catch up, and he could not stop, but at this time he retreated.The Mongolian cavalry came up again like rogues, and people in the rear army kept getting shot.

Seeing Zhao Yun's cavalry rushing in his direction, Ma Chao shouted anxiously: "General Zhao, please don't be within the range of their bows and arrows, otherwise you won't be able to get away!"

Zhao Yun looked at the speed of the Mongolian cavalry galloping, and he was constantly making choices in his heart. If his cavalry was slower than them, he would definitely fall into the same situation as Ma Chao's cavalry, and he might even be wiped out with Ma Chao's cavalry today. up.

But Zhao Yun faintly believed in his intuition. He felt that his white horse was faster than the Mongolian cavalry.As long as they catch up with the Mongolian cavalry and join forces with Ma Chao's cavalry, they might not be able to severely damage the foreign cavalry.

Zhao Yun clenched his fists tightly, and then loosened them. The intuition in his heart finally defeated his reason: "On the battlefield, the opportunity is fleeting. How can I be intimidated! If we win this battle, my Zhao Yun and Bai Ma Yicong will be famous all over the world." !"

Zhao Yun already had a calculation in his heart, but a confident smile appeared on his face. He shouted at Ma Chao: "Meng Qi retreated to my left and right wings. I will cover your army's retreat. Leave this foreign training army to me." Deal with it!"

"Brother Li, advance my white horse cavalry from both sides and protect Meng Qi's cavalry from retreating!" Then Zhao Yun shouted at Li Yuanfang on the other side.

After Zhao Yun shouted, he suddenly saw his speed increase, and Bai Ma Yicong followed closely behind him, and Li Yuanfang on the other side did the same, and the cavalry moved forward at full speed.

On the battlefield, Baima Yicong, who was originally behind the wings of Ma Chao's javelin cavalry, suddenly accelerated, rushing obliquely into the battlefield from both sides, like a horoscope camp.Ma Chao had no choice but to suffer heavy casualties, so he had to lead the rest of the cavalry into the small mouth of the horoscope camp that had been deployed by Baima Yicong.
