In terms of cavalry combat effectiveness, the Northern Hu can say without any modesty that their cavalry is the best in the world.
Whether it was Northern Liang or Northern Yan, the most important type of military force was cavalry.
These grassland peoples grew up on horseback and only needed a little training to become qualified cavalrymen.
Seeing the gate of Anding City open and thousands of cavalry rushing out, the two commanders of ten thousand cavalry on the Beiliang side could not help but be overjoyed.
The weapons of the defenders were too powerful. There was a sea of fire under the city wall. The horses were frightened and could not get through, let alone climb the city wall. No one expected the defenders to be so stupid as to open the city gate and let the cavalry come out to attack them.
What’s the difference between this and seeking death!
"kill!"
The two commanders of the Ten Thousand Cavalry gave a roar and charged forward with the remaining cavalry.
Then they saw countless bottles and pottery jars thrown at them. The faces of the two commanders of the Ten Thousand Cavalry changed. It seemed that the defenders on the city wall were throwing these things.
"Disperse!"
The cavalry commander shouted, but it was too late.
Thousands of Molotov cocktails and clay bombs fell among the cavalry.
"boom--!"
Deafening explosions rang out one after another, and flames shot up into the sky, sweeping among the Beiliang cavalry. The iron nails, iron balls, and broken porcelain pieces in the pottery bombs flew everywhere under the effect of the shock wave.
Even though these Beiliang cavalrymen were wearing armor, they could not stop the attack and were pierced into their flesh.
The charging cavalry formation was instantly thrown into chaos, and the frightened horses rushed forward uncontrollably, throwing the cavalry on their backs into the sea of fire.
Screams continued to be heard one after another, and all the cavalrymen affected by the explosion and fire fell off their horses one after another.
The cavalry from the rear rushed up again, and the men and horses were thrown to the ground.
The two captains of the Wanqi Army who were in the front were blown away by the blast before they could get close. They fell heavily to the ground, their bodies shook a few times, and they died.
"If you want to break through the enemy's line of defense, you must die!"
Taking advantage of the chaos among the Beiliang cavalry, Chang Wei and others roared, then kicked their horses and began to charge towards the opposite side.
Zhou Pojun also shouted.
"Brothers, we can't lose to them, kill them!"
"kill!"
Three thousand cavalrymen roared in unison and charged forward as well, feeling their blood boiling. It had been a long time since they had charged forward like this.
They were cavalrymen, but they could only stay in the city to defend it. There were originally 10,000 cavalrymen, but now there were only 3,000 of them left.
The time for revenge has come.
They were like tigers released from a cage, their horses' hooves crushing the burning battlefield and stirring up sparks all over the sky.
Chang Wei shouted: "Brothers, it's time to sign up. Let them see our bravery!"
Baldy and the others were extremely excited. This was the real battlefield and the way they really wanted to fight.
Charging on horseback and taking the enemy's head is the romance of a man.
The sounds of registration rang out one after another, and thousands of people rushed into the local cavalry, as if they were really the fierce generals of the Three Kingdoms.
The sword was swung up, a flash of light flashed, and it slashed at the enemies around it.
Heads flew and blood splattered. The Beiliang cavalry's formation was already in chaos due to the explosion and flames, and now the opposite side was charging at them again, and they had no ability to resist at all.
Even if there was resistance, it would be difficult to hurt Chang Wei and others by hitting their explosion-proof suits.
However, the weapons of the Qianhusuo were able to cut off the weapons of the Northern Liang cavalry and split their armor.
The 3,000 cavalrymen on the other side were even more brave. They were the real regular cavalry and were not comparable to the half-baked ones like Chang Wei.
"Arrow array, cut through them!"
Zhou Pojun took the lead with a spear in hand. The cavalry behind him changed their formation instantly, with Zhou Pojun as the spearhead. They instantly formed the most easily breaking arrow shape and stabbed fiercely into the Beiliang cavalry.
The two cavalry units were like two sharp knives, tearing a bloody path through the sea of fire, and soon they cut through the leaderless Northern Liang cavalry.
"change!"
Chang Wei and Zhou Pojun led the cavalry to turn around and charge again.
The 20,000 Northern Liang cavalrymen completely collapsed. A captain wanted to organize a resistance, but he was knocked down by the fleeing soldiers and was trampled into a pulp by horses' hooves in the blink of an eye.
“Hahahaha, what a joy!”
Looking at the miserable cavalrymen who were defeated and fleeing, Chang Wei and the others burst into laughter. This charge was more exciting than last night's, and it also greatly improved their experience in fighting on horseback, and they could almost be considered qualified cavalrymen.
Next, you just need to train in changing battle formations to become elite cavalry.
Zhou Pojun led the cavalry in chasing for a while and then returned with excitement on his face.
Destroying 20,000 with 4,000 was unthinkable before, but with Molotov cocktails and clay pot bombs, everything became possible.
Perhaps the Northern Liang cavalry did not expect that this kind of weapon would be used against them.
Four thousand men returned to the city and closed the gates tightly.
…
Hu Yanshun was watching from the center of the army with his heart and liver broken. The cavalry he was so proud of were being slaughtered like lambs to be slaughtered. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have dared to believe it.
“Damn it!”
Huyan Shun's face flushed red, he was extremely angry, these Jing Dynasty cavalry were really despicable, they agreed to a cavalry charge, but they used fire and explosions to take the initiative, causing chaos on his side, and then took the opportunity to charge, only in this way could they win.
If it was a normal cavalry confrontation, they would definitely not be a match for the Beiliang cavalry.
Looking at the cavalrymen fleeing back, Huyan Shun's heart was bleeding. There were 20,000 cavalrymen, but more than half of them were lost in just one attack on the city. Those who fled back were all injured and their morale was extremely low.
The remaining 30,000 cavalrymen felt sad when they saw these cavalrymen who had escaped, and they felt a little uneasy when they saw the sea of fire still burning under the city wall.
"Your Highness, what should we do now? Still attack?"
Tuoba Lie spoke in a low voice.
Huyan Shun gritted his teeth and looked towards the top of the city wall. Although he couldn't see the people on it clearly, he could imagine that they were laughing at them.
Damn Mu Xiong!
Damn Yongzhou barbarians, if they hadn't run away, how could his Beiliang cavalry have suffered such heavy losses.
Looking at the tall city walls and the short spears nailed on them, Tuoba Lie was unwilling to give in. The stairs had already been built, and as long as he could climb up the city walls, he could capture Anding City.
There are less than 10,000 defenders in the city. As long as they can climb the city wall, they can win. If they retreat at this time, not only will the two thousand cavalrymen die in vain, but their spears will also be driven in vain.
Attack again!
This thought popped up in Huyan Shun's mind, and he didn't believe that the other party had endless kerosene. A lot of kerosene was used to stop the attack of the Yongzhou barbarians, and a lot of it was used again today. Maybe there was no more kerosene left. Even if there was, there shouldn't be much left.
"Blindfold the warhorse!"
Hu Yanshun gave an order that the war horses would not dare to charge when seeing fire, which resulted in the cavalry being unable to reach the city. If they were covered, they would be able to charge to the city.
"Haoliantie, Timur, go and capture Anding City for me. If you do, I will reward you handsomely."
"yes."
Two captains of the cavalry stepped out, and behind them the cavalry marched out in formation, with all the horses blindfolded.
A group of Beiliang cavalry looked at Anding City fiercely and launched a charge again!
