Dahan Pirate Air Force

Guan Xing's one thousand cavalrymen, on Zhuge Liang's orders, were guarding between the pontoon bridge on the east bank of Beishui and the main camp.

Zhuge Liang expected that Gao Ding had no plans and was blocked from crossing the river head-on, so he would inevitably turn to the narrow upper reaches of the river.

Zhuge Qiao's army could not hold out for long, so he sent a concealed garrison half way to Guanxing, which not only made it easier to cross the bridge at any time to attack the enemy's flank, but also stayed far away from the main camp, making it easier to hide this powerful but small elite army.

In this way, when Gaoding's army started to attack Zhuge Qiao head-on, Guan Xing had no time to wait for Zhuge Liang's order and immediately rushed to the pontoon.

As soon as Guan Xing crossed the river, he immediately led his troops to advance and charge head-on.Gaoding did not expect the elite cavalry of Shu to arrive so quickly. He was momentarily suspicious, thinking that he had been ambushed by Zhuge Liang. He turned his horse's head in fright and was almost ready to escape.

However, at this time, Guan Xing's attack was hindered.

After all, Gaoding's rebels had a large number of people, and Guan Xing's cavalry was not a heavily armored cavalry. Once the speed slowed down, even the light cavalry composed of "Pegasus" would be difficult to exert impact.

As a last resort, Guan Xing had no choice but to command his team to retreat, stay some distance away from the enemy, and then attack again.

After two or three visits, Gaoding noticed something and immediately ordered the spearmen in the army to block the front to block the cavalry attack, while the archers shot arrows from behind.

Guan Xing's attack was stopped, and he fell into a situation where he could neither attack nor defend.

Zhuge Qiao also saw the joints on the battlefield here, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to concentrate their crossbows and shoot at the high-definition spearmen, trying to create a gap for Guan Xing.

The two sides fought a fierce battle, each suffering injuries.

After all, the Shu army was small in number, and after entering a war of attrition, it gradually became unable to resist.

Zhuge Qiao looked back at the east bank, reconsidering whether he should cross the river and burn the bridge, and then unconsciously looked up at the sky.

Seeing this, I was dumbfounded.

In the sky, at some point, a spaceship was already hanging in the sky.

Zhuge Qiao blinked and opened his eyes in disbelief.

"The spaceship is coming, the Wudang flying army is coming, brothers, look to the sky!" he shouted loudly.

The Shu soldiers began to pay attention to the sky and discovered the spaceship. Although not everyone knew what the spaceship was, people spread it from person to person, and soon everyone understood it, and reinforcements arrived.

This time, reinforcements came from the sky.

Zhang Bai arrived at Beishui after going north to Gaoding.

Because of his advantageous position, he discovered anomalies in the advance route of the Gaoding Army from a long distance.

Instead of attacking east, the rebels marched north.

Zhuge Liang's army has also separated a group of troops, which seems to be heading north for reinforcements.

The main force is wading west across the river to attack Gaoding's camp.

Zhang Bai immediately informed Chen Huo and asked him to instruct Liu Ning. The cavalry should speed up and follow the main force of Haoding to the north.

The Sakhir turned, and he soon spotted the pontoon bridge upstream from the low water.

At the bridge in Hexi, the two soldiers and horses were fighting together.

Zhang Bai saw the familiar horses from the Western Regions, which were constantly attacking the rebels. From time to time, people and horses fell to the ground.

It was with great difficulty that he brought these horses back to Shu. The scene on the ground made him heartbroken.

"How can Zhuge Liang, a prodigal son, use cavalry like this?" Zhang Bai jumped to his feet.

"Order Liu Ning to launch an attack immediately to hold back the Couture troops."

Zhang Bai's order quickly reached Liu Ning's ears.

He has been waiting for this moment for a long time.

It has been more than a year since I left Peshawar. I was either marching or training in desolate places.Although he is an orphan in the military and has long been accustomed to such wandering, he longs for a serious battle that will make him feel that he is truly alive.

"The whole army obeys the order, ride and shoot!" Liu Ning ordered loudly, holding the iron spear high in his hand, and then rushed towards the rebels.

The cavalrymen shouted at the same time and followed Liu Ning to charge.

Gao Dingjun also discovered that the Shu army was coming from behind. He turned around in panic and raised his weapons to resist in a chaotic manner. Some even started to run away.

Gaoding immediately ordered the troops to be purged and stopped attacking the pontoon bridge. The rear army turned into the front army, and the spearmen stood in front, preparing to resist the cavalry attack.

However, Liu Ning did not charge directly.

When he galloped to a distance of about an arrow's throw from the enemy, he placed his iron spear across his horse, took off his bow and arrow, and took advantage of the horse's sprinting speed to shoot out an arrow.

This is a projectile, no need to aim specifically.

After releasing the arrow, he turned his horse's head slightly, changed from straight running to diagonal running, and finally ran in a circle, leaving the front of the rebels.

In the process, he shot two more arrows.

The cavalry following him followed the same tactics, were well-trained, and their movements were uniform.

A continuous rain of arrows continued to fall into the Gaoding army.

The rebels' equipment was not as good as that of the Shu army, and many of them did not even have armor.This rain of arrows shot down many people on the spot.

Moreover, they discovered that the arrows of the opponent's cavalry had a long range, and since their men, horses, and armor were fully equipped, their own bows and arrows could not hurt them at all.

Liu Ning refused to give up and continued to lead the cavalry to run around the rebels, constantly shooting arrows at the enemy formation.

Gaoding had never seen this kind of fighting style. He found that most of the cavalry could stand on horses and shoot arrows. The arrows they released were fast and far. He felt very strange. Could these people be on horses?How can you fight on horseback?

He suddenly thought of an answer, the Huns.

It is said that the Xiongnu and Xianbei tribes were able to shoot arrows while riding on horseback.Could there be help from the Huns in Shu?

He was panicked and extremely anxious. In desperation, he ordered the soldiers to charge forward and pounced on the cavalry in a chaotic manner.

Seeing the movements of the rebels, Liu Ning couldn't help but smile, and immediately ordered the flags to be waved left and right, and the cavalry to retreat.

These cavalrymen were trained by him personally. They knew what to do without using flags, and the whole troop advanced and retreated freely.Not only did he easily stay away from the infantry assault, he also shot back while running, shooting down many rebels.

This method of warfare is similar to that of the Khitans and Mongols in later generations.This is what Zhang Bai once told Liu Ning, and the two of them tried it together.

In order to realize this tactic, Liu Ning spent a lot of effort training.I finally had the opportunity to use it today. After trying it, it was indeed amazingly powerful.

Not only did he kill a large number of enemies, but more importantly, his own losses were very small, with no casualties so far.

Couture's troops were all infantry. Seeing that the two-legged ones could not catch up with the four-legged ones, and they were constantly being shot to death and wounded, they became unwilling to pursue them.

However, there were unknowing soldiers behind them who were still running forward as ordered.

The people in front didn't want to run, but those behind pushed them forward, and the troops were suddenly in chaos.

Guan Xing and Zhuge Qiao were surprised at first when they saw the reinforcements arriving, and then they were surprised again when they saw the novel tactics of this group of cavalry.

Until the end, seeing them making a fool of the Couture army, this time it turned into shock.

Zhuge Qiao had been with Kong Ming for a long time and gained wider knowledge. He suddenly felt that the fighting methods of this group of cavalry were a bit like the fighting methods of grassland peoples such as the Xiongnu and Xianbei.

However, if you look closely, the details are different.
