If they were sent to the northern border, these cavalrymen would be useless for transporting supplies, let alone going to the battlefield.
But here it was different. As long as they could break up the rebels' formation, their mission would be accomplished. The infantry behind them could then take advantage of the situation and attack.
As for whether they could break up the rebel formation, Yuan Keli was not worried at all.
Looking at the equipment of the rebels, they only wore leather armor at most, with little iron armor. Such equipment was basically useless against charging horses.
The rebels did not expect the reinforcements to arrive so quickly.
When An Bangyan saw this scene, the expression on his face instantly became solemn.
Why are the reinforcements coming?
Aren’t they fighting with She Chongming? Why are they here?
How could there be cavalry? When did cavalry appear in southern Xinjiang?
An Bangyan had no cavalry. Although they also had the ancient Tea-Horse Road, they used camels for transportation.
Even if they got the war horses, they would be of no use to them as they were all taken away by the Ming court.
Besides, the profits of the Ancient Tea-Horse Road in recent years have all been made by the people of the Ming Dynasty, so what does it have to do with them?
Besides, they can’t afford to keep horses even if they have them. Who in this place would be able to provide cavalry?
An Bangyan's face turned black.
Especially since there was still fighting on the city wall, this made An Bangyan even more angry.
If they had arrived a little later, he would have captured Bijie City.
If the soldiers were to retreat now, they would not be able to outrun the horses, and would probably be caught up by the cavalry before they could run back to their side.
Can't retreat!
An Bangyan's mind was firm in his conviction. He reached out and drew his knife, shouting loudly: "Follow me and kill! Take their horses, and whoever gets them will own them!"
"Take Bijie City, and everything will be yours! Charge!"
Following An Bangyan's shout, all the remaining people behind him rushed forward.
At this point, there is no need to keep any more manpower.
Looking at the rebels rushing towards him, Zhang Yanfang smiled and waved his knife, shouting loudly: "Charge forward and capture An Bangyan alive! Kill the rebels, 20 taels of silver for each head, for the sake of getting rich!"
As Zhang Yanfang shouted, the warhorse under his crotch instantly accelerated.
The people around him also sped up.
Although these horses are not very good and some are very old, they are indeed war horses.
