Cavalry has always been known as the king of field battles, and heavy cavalry is different from ordinary cavalry. Not only are the soldiers wearing heavy armor and are invulnerable to swords and spears, but even the horses are also covered in heavy armor, with amazing attack power. One cavalryman is enough to deal with six or seven infantrymen, and one heavy cavalryman has no problem dealing with ten or twenty infantrymen.

Especially in siege battles, heavy cavalry plays a greater role. As long as there is a heavy cavalry of more than 50,000 people, it is easy to capture a city. Most of the defenders of the city were infantry. Every time they went out of the city to fight, when the city gates opened and closed, the number of infantry who ran out was very limited. Often, they were killed to pieces by the cavalry before they could even form a battle formation, and they had no chance to fight back. As a result, Mo Xiao's army roamed across the grasslands with few rivals, and after entering the Central Plains, they were invincible.

Right now, the Lin family army is about to face such a nightmare-like army. Fortunately, Lin Dan led everyone to a great victory, which greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers. He also seized many war horses and armors, allowing them to change their equipment. He also trained a heavy cavalry of 5,000 people and led them to plunder on the grassland, which was full of blood and murderous aura. In this way, the battle had some chance of winning.

In the distance, war drums were booming. As he got closer, Lin Dan had already put on heavy armor and was slowly walking towards his warhorse. She walked among a group of burly men who were as strong as iron towers. Her figure seemed even thinner, but her aura was not suppressed at all. The soldiers on both sides took off their helmets and half-knelt in salute as she approached. They admired her from the bottom of their hearts and had already completely submitted to her. Without her, there would be no Lin Family Army today, let alone this fierce and powerful army that was denounced as devils by the Huns.

The fifty to sixty kilograms of armor seemed to weigh nothing on Lin Dan. She jumped onto the horse very neatly and ordered, "Let's go."

"Lin Dan!" A hoarse voice suddenly sounded, causing her to stop and look back.

Ding Mujie walked forward slowly and said with a forced smile: "Lin Dan, I wish you a successful start. Swords and knives have no eyes on the battlefield, so you must be careful!"

Before Lin Dan could thank him, Li Xian said confidently, "With a brave general like General Lin and a military advisor like Mingde, we will surely win this battle. Without further ado, let's go. You wait for our triumphant return."

Mingde is Ding Mujie's pen name. These days he has been doing his best to give advice to Li Xian, and the two have gone from being strangers to close friends.

After the group expressed their farewell feelings, the war horses set off together, raising a cloud of yellow sand. The dust blurred Lin Dan's back and Ding Mujie's eyes. He suppressed the fear and bitterness in his heart, and when the army was no longer visible, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's find a high ground to watch the battle."

A line of soldiers immediately escorted him to a nearby high ground. He is now King Zhuang's military advisor, and he frequently comes up with winning strategies, so he holds a high status in the army.

The two armies met on a plain and each deployed their battle formations. Strictly speaking, the number of Lin's army is more than 100,000 than that of Mo Xiao's army, but these 100,000 people are all infantry, which is no match for the heavy cavalry. But Mo Xiao did not look down on the Lin family army because of this. Over the past few days, he had been constantly learning about Lin Dan's achievements and reputation from the scouts, and unknowingly he had developed a sense of mutual admiration for her.

Seeing Lin Dan's extremely gorgeous and cold face, he couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh: "Okay, this is the opponent I imagined!"

Lin Dan stood still.

Mo Xiao didn't challenge him, he just raised his hand and said, "Attack!"

The heavily armored Hun cavalry were like a wall, pressing down heavily. A cavalryman standing at the forefront of the Lin family army suddenly raised the small flag in his hand and waved it a few times, and the army behind him immediately began to change its formation. The infantry ran forward in an orderly manner, with ten people in a row and five people in a column, forming square formations in an orderly manner, protecting the cavalry behind them.

Cavalry against cavalry is the best choice. Cavalry against infantry is equivalent to delivering food to the enemy. Mo Xiao didn't know what the Lin family army was doing, and he was a little hesitant, but this little hesitation did not make him afraid of the Wei army.

The sound of horse hooves gradually approached, but the infantry phalanx of the Lin family army still held its ground in the front and did not retreat. Their cavalry also felt at ease being guarded by the infantry and never thought of fighting back.

Two hundred feet, one hundred and fifty feet, one hundred battles, seeing the enemy getting closer and closer, the Lin family army never reacted, as if they were waiting to die. This situation is obviously not in line with common sense, there must be something fishy going on! Just as Mo Xiao thought of this, the Hun cavalry in the front suddenly fell down. The cavalry behind them were unable to stop in time and trampled on them, causing greater casualties.

Mo Xiao took a closer look and discovered that the flat grassland had been dug by the Lin family army at some point, and trenches were covered with bamboo nets and a layer of turf. From a distance, there was nothing unusual to be seen. These trenches were like big mouths, swallowing up the oncoming Hun cavalry. The cavalry behind could not pass through until the cavalry in front filled the trenches.

It was already inconvenient for soldiers and horses wearing heavy armor to move, and after falling down, they had no time to get up before being crushed to pieces by the iron hooves of their comrades. Fortunately, in order to hold the fort, Mo Xiao did not run in the front, otherwise he would have been in trouble as well. It was too late to retreat at this point, and the Hun soldiers could only ignore their comrades under their feet and continue to charge forward.

The infantry of the Lin family army remained standing still, and only when the Hun cavalry came close enough did they pull out a chevaux de frise from behind them and hold it diagonally in front of them. The originally neat and tidy square formation suddenly turned into a group of hedgehogs, which were impossible to approach. The Xiongnu cavalry, unable to stop their horses, crashed into the chevaux de frise, causing many casualties.

A Wei soldier ran backwards, waving a small flag in his hand. Seeing this, the Lin army immediately changed their formation. The infantrymen who were squatting at the front threw away the broken chevaux de frise and ran back. The light cavalry who had been hiding in the rear rushed forward. The weapons in their hands were not ordinary swords, spears, or halberds, but a six-foot-long sickle. Instead of using these sickles to reap the enemy's heads, they bent over and attacked the horses' hooves with their sharp blades.

The Xiongnu heavy cavalry were wrapped in armor from head to toe, making them invulnerable to swords and spears. Even their war horses were hidden in thick iron armor, and apart from a pair of eyes and four horse hooves, there was almost no place to attack. The Lin family army targeted this weakness. Once the horse's hoof was injured, these war horses carrying hundreds of kilograms of weight would fall down immediately, and no matter how much time they were given, they would not be able to get up. The heavy armor provides them with layers of protection, but also limits their mobility.

The Wei light cavalry cut off the horses' hooves and ran away, moving flexibly among the Xiongnu heavy cavalry, causing them large amounts of damage. Often when one horse falls, a group of horses behind it will fall down, causing heavy casualties. The Xiongnu cavalry had never heard of or seen such weapons and tactics before, and were immediately stunned.

Seeing that another group of Hun cavalry had fallen and that they no longer had much advantage in numbers and combat effectiveness, the 5,000 heavy cavalry led by Lin Dan rushed out from the rear and killed indiscriminately. This time, the Lin family army had no strategy or tactics to speak of. Like the Huns, they started a direct killing spree. They had been wandering on the grassland for several months and were already blood-thirsty. Wherever they went, they were unstoppable and even made the Hun cavalry throw away their armor and weapons, unable to resist. Mo Xiao was confused by the series of unexpected events. When he saw Lin Dan running towards him with a knife in hand, he turned around and ran away.

He never expected that in just a few months, the Wei army would undergo such changes. They are ruthless, brave, and courageous, and are far more motivated than the Hun cavalry. This domesticated, toothless, sick tiger has now turned into a lion. The wolves on the grassland are no match for him!

"Retreat, retreat quickly!" Mo Xiao shouted at the top of his lungs. Less than half an hour after the battle started, more than half of his 70,000 cavalry were killed. If he didn't run away now, all his wealth would be lost here. Although he was the Khan of the Xiongnu, many tribes only submitted to him on the surface but secretly harbored ulterior motives. If he does not have strong enough military force to intimidate these people, he will surely be retaliated against by them in the future.

The occupation was originally a pie in the sky that he had painted to divert these people's attention. Now that the pie has turned into poison, he will naturally spit it out.

How could Lin Dan let him get away so easily? He chased him for hundreds of miles with a big knife in hand, and only stopped deep into the grassland. When the heavy cavalry she led returned to the battlefield, the battle was over. The Lin family army almost completely wiped out the Hun army at the lowest cost and achieved the final victory.

Without Mo Xiao in charge, the rest of the Hun army was no longer a threat. Lin Dan led his heavy cavalry to encircle and suppress these remnants on the grassland, and gradually made a name for himself. As soon as they heard that General Lin was coming, the Hun children didn't even dare to cry and immediately ran into the tent and hid. If the Huns saw her cavalry galloping by in the distance, they would abandon their sheep and tents and flee quickly. In the past, they were the only ones who plundered the people from the Central Plains. When had they ever been plundered by the people from the Central Plains?

The Lin family has been guarding the border for generations and have dealt with the Huns countless times. The Huns hated them to the core and thought they could exterminate the Lin family this time. However, they did not expect that a ruthless man like Lin Dan would emerge in his family, who almost exterminated the Huns in turn! Could it be that the Lin family is really the nemesis of the Huns?

There is no need to mention how much Mo Xiao hated Lin Dan, but even so, he had no way to deal with him. In terms of martial arts, Lin Dan is invincible across the grassland; in terms of bloodiness, Lin Dan only knows how to attack and not how to defend. Every drop of blood in her body reveals a ruthless spirit of fighting to the death. If you become her enemy, you must be prepared to be torn to pieces.

Mo Xiao reorganized his army twice, but was defeated by Lin Dan both times. He was actually afraid of her and slowly retreated back to his hometown. If you can't afford to offend him, you can always avoid him. It would be better to submit a letter of peace and make peace with the Emperor of Wei, so as to prevent Lin Dan from becoming bloodthirsty and coming to his hometown one day to destroy him completely.

He had heard that Lin Dan had once threatened to destroy the Huns to avenge her family. It was a pity that Mo Li was too cruel and had pushed her into a desperate situation. Otherwise, he would not have been put in such a miserable state by him.
