    A red lantern quickly rose on the west mountain.  Tong Luoqi, who was walking in the valley, looked at the red mass from a distance and didn't know what was going on. He suddenly saw a black cloud in front of him and immediately bumped into it.

    Huang Mingzheng only had more than 200 cavalry in his hands, but they were all elites who had been baptized by many battles. In the hazy moonlight, they pierced Xie Yebu's chest like a sharp knife.  Tong Luo Qi suddenly encountered an ambush. Although he was surprised, he did not panic.  He has experienced many battles on the grassland and is not afraid of the opponent at all.

    But as soon as the two sides fought, Tong Luoqi was a little confused. These Sui troops were so powerful.  Although there were not many people, the attack was not based on the formation of skirmishers in twos and threes on the grassland, nor was it the arrow formation and cone formation commonly used by the Han people, but a group of cavalry who were not very fast, lined up closely in several rows, like  It was like a wall pressing down on them.  This sense of oppression was something he had never experienced before.

    These cavalrymen waved their swords uniformly, and every time they raised their hands, they reaped the lives of the Xieye cavalrymen.  But Tong Luo Qi was helpless against the opponent's attack.  The Sui army on the opposite side was in a dense formation, with both wings protected by cavalry on both sides. They only needed to guard against incoming enemies from the opposite side.  He had never seen this kind of slow and fast attack, and he had never seen it before, and he didn't know how to prevent it.

    This fighting method is exactly the wall charge tactic used by Huang Mingyuan in later generations to fight against the prairie cavalry with excellent riding skills.  Later generations of people who did not understand military skills praised this tactic to the sky. In fact, the shortcomings of this tactic are very obvious. The biggest one is that soldiers cannot dodge at all, they are completely consumables, and the corpses on the battlefield are too great a hindrance to the cavalry.  But the advantages are indeed more prominent. The essence of traditional cavalry tactics lies in superb riding skills and being able to escape with one blow. However, facing wall-type charge cavalry, traditional cavalry cannot escape at all.  The enemies were so dense that each saber had to face three or four cavalry swords at the same time. Unless they escaped, they would all die together.  And these are exactly what Huang Mingyuan needs.  Since the Han cavalry troops cannot compete with the prairie cavalry in terms of riding skills, they should work hard on discipline, organization, and training.

    During this period, Huang Mingyuan has been training wall charges on the rebuilt cavalry and armored cavalry. Although the effect is not too obvious, it has indeed improved the army's combat effectiveness.

    Tongluo Qi is obviously not a general who can adapt to changes on the battlefield, especially when he sees the armored cavalry that the grassland people fear most.

    When the armored cavalry roaring from Wolong Mountain plunged into their team, the entire Xieye cavalry seemed to have their bones broken in an instant and did not fight back at all.  This group of troops had gone through several battles before, and their physical and mental strength had been oppressed to the critical point. Now that they were hit hard, they dispersed in the fear of the night. It was easier than Huang Mingyuan imagined.

    Huang Mingliao rode down on horseback with a horse spear in hand. He shouted loudly at the Xieye cavalry in front of him and stabbed him off his horse.  He was like an awl in a bag, standing out from the chaotic crowd, waving his big spear, and there were no enemies around him.

    ¡°Four generals, be quick and leave a few for me.¡± Yang Yiyan shouted from behind.  He did know that Huang Mingliao was said to be very brave, but his courage to lift mountains and carry cauldrons today was really amazing.

    Huang Mingliao held his horse and did not answer.

    Tong Luoqi on the opposite side tried to gather some troops and break out, but Huang Mingliao on the opposite side was fast and rode a rouge beast to kill him.

    Huang Mingliao saw that the opponent was the leader, so he raised his sword and stabbed him. Tong Luo Qi hurriedly waved his scimitar to block him, but Huang Mingliao's sword was quick and hit him in the chest.  Tong Luoqi fell off his horse and saw clearly the face of the young general opposite. He had seen him there. Suddenly he thought that this was not the Sui Dynasty envoy who jumped into the Jin River. Wasn't he dead?  Why are you here?  He tried to open his mouth to call, only to find that he couldn't open his mouth at all.  The huge body fell heavily to the ground, but only a pair of open eyes were never closed.  Then, thousands of horses galloped, and Tong Luoqi could no longer be found.

    The armored cavalry broke through the Xieye tribe's formation, and Gao Zhen and Zhang Wenyuan also came out from the east and north sides respectively, surrounding the Xieye tribe's cavalry in the valley.  Although these cavalry usually followed Tong Luo Xieye in battles in the south and north, and were extremely brave, after all, most of them had only joined the Xieye tribe for more than half a year. They had no centripetal force and loyalty at all. How could anyone be willing to fight to the death for the Xieye tribe.  Therefore, Xieye's army was desperate and all abandoned their helmets and armor and surrendered.

    Huang Mingyuan rode down from Wolong Mountain on horseback. Everyone hurriedly cleaned the battlefield. There was another battle to be fought soon.

    Tong Luo Xie, who came from Wu Yao Beiyuan, was also riding on his horse, thinking about the sudden crisis.  It has to be said that the sudden blow from the other party came at the wrong time. If it had been sooner or later, he would not have been so uncomfortable.  But the other party happened to choose?I am about to spread my wings and fly high, but I have not yet taken off.  At this time, his feet were in the air, and it was the time when he had nothing to take advantage of, and the other party suddenly took action and hit him seven inches away. If the other party had not planned it in advance, he would not be able to believe it anyway.

    Suddenly, Tong Luo Xie also realized that he seemed to have made a huge mistake. He should not have let Tong Luo Qi set off early, but it would be safer for them to join forces together.  Calculating the time of departure with Luo Qi, they should be close to Qifu Po by now.

    If the Xieye tribe faces only the Sui army in Heng'an Town, it can survive safely with the strength of the Xieye tribe, but if there is a larger Sui army behind it, it will be troublesome.

    At this time, Tong Luo Xie was getting more and more nervous. He always felt like there was something in his mind, but he couldn't catch it.

    The Xieye tribe¡¯s army was not marching fast, although the leading generals were worried about the children in the old camp and kept urging the tribal warriors.  But the Xieye tribe partyed most of the night last night; then at midnight, they launched a sudden attack on the Saxue tribe without rest. Although they attacked intentionally and unintentionally, they won a complete victory in the end, but the Saxue tribe's more than 3,000 tribal cavalry  The resistance also made Xie Yebu work hard; and in the carnival after the victory, they used the remaining strength on the belly of the Saxue tribe woman.  In fact, the current Xieye cavalry is exhausted.  Although the journey was only more than two hundred miles, the tribal warriors on horseback felt that this road was extremely long.  Someone was lying on the horse, as if he was about to fall asleep at any moment.

    Not only are the people not getting enough rest, the horses are also very tired.  Since Tong Luo Xie also set out to conquer Dusu, the war horses have not been well groomed.  Winter is approaching, the grasslands are barren, and the pastures are sparse. These war horses are constantly consuming their body fat reserves in the cold, and are constantly losing weight. Many war horses have lost a lot of weight.  Then they galloped all the way at night, and countless horses died along the way.

    The advancing speed of the Xieye Army's cavalry was much slower than Huang Mingyuan expected. They all set out from the Saxue tribe camp when they were approaching You, and traveled westward for almost three hours before leaving Wuyuan Beiyuan.

    Night fell, and their speed was greatly reduced. On the desolate grassland, all sides were shrouded in darkness. Only one marching team crossed the night and kept moving forward.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
