The situation in Chang'an is not good, which is why Liu Qi dared to fight against the Liangzhou army.

And in this case, he dares to win.

Because even if he wins, he has a suitable reason to retreat.

Mainly, Liu Qi wanted to take this opportunity to test the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang rebels.

The strength of Ma Teng's army should be the ceiling level of the Xiliang rebels. If his strength is tested, Liu Qi will basically have an idea of ​​the fighting strength of the remaining people.

On the battlefield, the brave generals of the Jingzhou Army also played important roles in this cavalry fight.

Among them, the one who seemed particularly brave was naturally Guan Yu. After he received Zhang Fei, he immediately ordered a knight beside him to throw the extra spear to him and handed the weapons to Zhang Fei.

Although Zhang Fei did not have his own Zhangba Snake Spear to use, Zhang Fei had weapons and could still fight with Guan Yu.

The two brothers went hand in hand and rushed into the enemy's formation. The Qinglong Yanyue Sword and the spear flew up and down. They cooperated extremely well, causing bursts of blood mist to splash in the enemy's center.

Guan Yu held his long beard in his hand while slashing the enemy with his broadsword. At the same time, he did not forget to shout to Zhang Fei: "Yide! Today's battle is actually set up by General Zhenxi for our brothers. You and I should fight hard."

Charge and kill, fight with your life to repay the king, and never waste the friendship of the king!"

Zhang Fei naturally listened to Guan Yu's words, and the current situation also made Zhang Fei feel that Liu Qi had specially sent thousands of cavalry to meet him.

Although Youzhou warriors have been in border counties for a long time and are irritable and warlike, they also value loyalty and repay their kindness!

Therefore, Zhang Fei accompanied Guan Yu to fight in the enemy's formation as if risking his life... In less than a moment, no fewer than thirty Xiliang knights died in the hands of the two brothers!

At the same time, Pang De and Zhang Ren, who were divided into two groups, also completed the encirclement of the Xiliang cavalry. These three thousand cavalry were well-equipped and commanded by good generals. They were also recharged and had high fighting spirit.

In addition, fierce generals like Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Pang De took the lead in charging at the vanguard, and they were unstoppable.

In particular, the bravery and proficiency of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others greatly inspired the combat morale of the Jingzhou cavalry, making them as if they had been given blood, fearless of death and marching forward bravely.

The cavalry of the Jingzhou Army were previously trained by Tai Shici, and later received tactical guidance from Xu Rong. To a certain extent, they were able to restrain the Xiliang cavalry tactically.

After all, Xu Rong had previously fought against Ma Teng and Han Sui with Dong Zhuo, and knew some of their tactics. Xu Rong had informed the senior generals of the Jingzhou Army about all these experiences before coming to Liangzhou.

Officials.

Unlike the Liangzhou Army, which simply charged to the death, the Jingzhou Cavalry used a charging formation after rushing into the enemy's camp. The three thousand cavalry troops were basically divided into groups of three or three during combat.

Under the command of Zhang Ren, Pang De, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, the Jingzhou cavalry fought and clashed back and forth, always focusing on maintaining mobility and not killing people as their main purpose.

All cavalrymen must have an easy ground, advance and retreat without hindrance, charge and kill without equal, and the battle will be won.

This sentence was originally told to Liu Qi by Xu Rong.

And this sentence was also conveyed by Liu Qi to every general under his command, so that they should keep it in mind!

It is precisely based on this sentence that the current combat situation of the Jingzhou cavalry is established.

The three thousand cavalrymen rushed into the enemy's formation and killed a lot of people. The three thousand weapons were swung and stabbed, spraying blood mist and stumps. After a while, they saw the horses on the grassland.

How many bodies have piled up.

Some with people and some with war horses.

But the Jingzhou Army cavalry were not intoxicated.

Because as the fighting time lengthened, they discovered the power of the Xiliang cavalry.

At first, because of the wrong attack instructions, the Xiliang cavalry was thrown into chaos by the Jingzhou Army's crossbows, and then was attacked by the cavalry. The attack was blocked, and the formation was temporarily disrupted, allowing the Jingzhou Army to gain the upper hand.

But soon, they stabilized again, and all the cavalry began to form formations again, and they mounted their horses again to launch a counterattack against the three groups of Jingzhou cavalry.

The riding skills of the Xiliang cavalry are very good. Each of their knights is an excellent rider who rides on a horse all the year round. The level of horse management is much better than that of the Jingzhou knights who have not been established for a long time. This is Liu Qi's use of resources and weapons.

It cannot be accumulated.

Ordnance can be made of good iron, but a good rider must be trained on a horse for five, eight or even ten years...it cannot be made with money, food and resources.

No matter how clever Liu Qi is, he can't crack it.

If you want to make up for this shortcoming, you can only win tactically.

During the battle between the Jingzhou cavalry and the Xiliang cavalry, Zhang Ren did not rush forward like Guan, Zhang, and Pang De. He was at the rear, giving orders at any time to adjust the cavalry's combat strategy.

Once he found out which cavalry unit he was riding was charging too deep and was in danger of being surrounded by the enemy, Zhang Ren would decisively order someone to use the horn to give orders...or if the cavalry that charged too hard changed its route, he would let the cavalry units on the flanks change their route.

If the cavalry goes to support...or if they notice that their own side is coming to charge, they will give the order to regroup, let the riders use their full power, rearrange their formations and choose to charge.

In order to achieve such a combat effect, the Jingzhou Army made great efforts in transmitting orders with horns. Their frequency of transmitting orders with horns and the commands represented in the horns were probably the most in the entire Han Dynasty.

Originally, the Jingzhou Army's tactics had achieved significant results when fighting other enemies.

But Ma Teng was worthy of being a veteran who had fought against the Qiang people in the border counties of Liangzhou for a long time. He quickly realized that the Jingzhou cavalry's bravery and difficulty in fighting relied largely on the trumpet's orders.

This method of transmitting orders has the advantage of allowing the three armies to change their tactics at any time and use their best condition to fight the enemy.

But at the same time, there is also a disadvantage, which is that it will make soldiers overly dependent.

Of course, every army will have such dependence, it just depends on the degree of dependence.

Soldiers in the Central Plains region have the highest dependence on generals, but soldiers in border counties, especially the rebels, are relatively less dependent on them... at least less than the Jingzhou Army.

Of course, this is the characteristic of the rebels. It is a shortcoming but also an advantage.

The bad thing is that they are more independent and difficult to command. The good thing is that if they lose this command, their ability to adapt is stronger than the cavalry in the Central Plains.

"Blow the trumpet! Blow the trumpet! Keep blowing, blow hard! Don't stop blowing!" Ma Teng barked an order to the messenger behind him.

Ma Tengjun's horn sounded throughout the sky in an instant.

The continuous sound of the horn was chaotic and without any order, and was mixed in the air. No matter how loud other sounds were, they could not be clearly transmitted to the ears of the two soldiers.

Whether it was the Jingzhou or Xiliang armies, when such a change occurred suddenly, the direct command system immediately fell into a state of paralysis.

This situation made Liu Qi curse "My day".

I really didn't expect that the man named Ma would play this trick with him without following the routine.

Liu Qi is not a god. He cannot accurately calculate every detail of the battlefield. On the ever-changing battlefield, Liu Qi cannot maintain all advantages at all times.

However, he was not helpless in this situation.

"How about withdrawing the troops?" Jia Xu also saw the opponent's situation and immediately advised Liu Qi.

Liu Qi shook his head.

In terms of conspiracy, Jia Xu was the best in the world, but when it came to commanding soldiers in battle, he still couldn't compare with himself.

"In this situation, if the cavalry department is allowed to withdraw its troops, it will end up being chased and crushed by Ma Teng. Since Ma Teng wants to play a big game, then I will make a big bet with him. I will send the entire army to attack and use people to pile up.
