Father can be an enemy to the country

The Mongolian cavalry, which was invincible at that time, was famous for its well-trained, disciplined and flexible tactics. Their cavalry units often consist of a heavy cavalry column responsible for shocks and two mobile archer columns.

The two cooperated with each other and flexibly adopted different tactics according to the battlefield situation, and their combat effectiveness was once the best in the world.

The Ming Dynasty was able to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty and drive the Mongols back to the grasslands. The combat effectiveness of the cavalry was naturally not inferior to that of their opponents. In particular, the most elite Yulin Guards have already mastered the various tactics of the Mongolian cavalry.

Now they are using the 'Mangujie' fighting method that the Mongolian horse archers are extremely good at. That is, the mounted archer escapes while shooting arrows at the enemy in the rear.

The essence of this tactic is to attack the enemy from a long distance; attack the enemy continuously; and do not give the enemy a chance to fight back!

Under such an attack, no matter how strong the enemy's spirit is or how strong his armor is, it is only a matter of time before he completely collapses.

Therefore, the Ming army also called this tactic "kite flying".

The Maitreya believers in front of them are basically infantry, and there are only a few dozen cavalry around the leader, which can be ignored. Their two legs simply cannot catch up with the four-legged cavalry. No matter how brave they are and fearless of death, they can only serve as arrow targets.

So, led by the arrogant His Highness the King of Jin and the sullen His Highness the King of Yan, the Yulin cavalry divided into two groups, and when the Maitreya Cult army was about to rush forward, they passed by their left and right wings.

After widening the distance of an arrow, Yu Lin's soldiers unfurled their bows and nocked arrows. However, they did not aim directly at the enemy soldiers. Instead, they shot the arrows toward the sky. The essence of this kind of shooting lies in the volley, which rains arrows down from the sky like hail, which has an excellent impact on the enemy troops gathered together.

But killing is not the main purpose. The purpose is to cause confusion to the enemy.

After three rounds of ejection, the Maitreya cultists were in a mess like headless flies.

King Qin, who had long been unable to restrain himself, immediately took advantage of the situation and launched a charge.

How can the Maitreya Cult army in chaos resist these heavy-horse men wielding maces?

It’s useless to take medicine without fear of death...

Under the mace of a hundred heavy cavalry, no one can defeat the enemy; rushing left and right, it is like entering a deserted land!

At this time, under the cover of smoke and dust, the archers on both wings surrounded the enemy's flanks and behind, forming an encirclement with the heavy cavalry.

"Four hundred surrounded three thousand..." Leader Maitreya was dumbfounded. He never expected that such a small Ming army could counter-surround his own troops.

Isn't this combat power too outrageous?

As everyone knows, the Yulin Cavalry is already the most elite of the Ming army, the strongest in the world, and under the leadership of His Highness the three generals, they are naturally even more powerful, bursting out with twelve points of combat effectiveness.

Facing a ragtag group of Maitreya believers is like a pack of wolves surrounding a flock of sheep. So what if there is a huge disparity in numbers? It was still a one-sided massacre.

But Maitreya believers are much stronger than sheep, they are not afraid of death! No matter how great the losses were, they still roared and charged. After being shot to the ground, he continued to crawl forward...

However, when they made great sacrifices and finally rushed to the Ming army, a whistle sounded, and the Yulin guards turned their horses again, distanced themselves, and greeted them with bows and arrows.

After flying three rounds of kites like this, the Maitreya cultists who suffered more than half of their casualties finally collapsed. Many believers who regained their senses began to drop their weapons and run away.

The Yulin Guards had no power to stop them, and they had no interest in doing so. They could only concentrate on dealing with those who resisted.

Seeing this, Master Maitreya knew that the situation was over, and the cavalry troops had not returned for reinforcements.

He had no idea of ​​martyrdom. In fact, the Taoist sects that have survived until now and have not been wiped out all regard "keep the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood" as the golden rule.

"Let's go!" he shouted, and then, surrounded by more than a dozen cavalry soldiers, he ran towards Shanxi. There is the home base of the Maitreya Cult.

"Want to leave? Have I agreed?" Zhu Di had already been eyeing him. When he saw this, he sneered, thrust the curled Daguan knife into the ground, and took the hard bow offered by his subordinates.

The bow was like a full moon, and the eagle-feathered arrow was aimed at the back of the Maitreya leader's heart.

Then His Highness King Yan shot out without any hesitation!

At the sound of the bowstring, the leader of Maitreya was hit by an arrow in the back and fell off his horse...

"The leader is dead!"

"The leader is dead!" This scene caused a great shock to the Maitreya believers. Even the leader who was said to be Maitreya, invulnerable and powerful, was shot to death. How could they defeat the Ming army?

So they dropped their weapons and ran away...

The soldiers of the Yulin Guard stopped chasing and quickly looked for their wounded and fallen comrades, preparing to retreat.

The enemy cavalry may come back at any time. They have already shot all their arrows and their horses are reaching their limit. If there is another battle, the casualties will rise sharply.

When each household reported that the search and rescue was complete, King Jin shouted: "Let's go!"

Yu Linwei immediately rode his horse southward, heading towards the Qishui River ten miles away.

Sure enough, after walking only half the distance, they saw smoke and dust rising from the east, and a large group of cavalry came straight towards them.

"They're back, let's go!" Zhu frowned and said, "They've been going back and forth for a long time, and the horses are exhausted. Let's just move forward and drag them to death!"

However, before they had gone far, the scout who was leading the way reported in panic: "From the direction of Qishui River, a large group of cavalry is coming across the river!"

"How many?" Zhu Di asked in a deep voice.

"Don't say three or four thousand..." the scout said with difficulty.

The atmosphere in Habayashi Wei suddenly froze.

The brothers looked at each other, feeling unbelievable.

"Where did so many cavalry come from?" Lao San, who had always been calm and composed, finally showed a frustrated look. "We're not done until we die, right?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Zhu Di shouted in a low voice: "You lead the second brother and the fifth brother to the west, and it will be safe if you get into the Taihang Mountains."

"What about you?" Lao San asked.

"I will lead people to stop them." Zhu Di said calmly, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing.

"That won't work. I will never give you this chance." The third child, who wanted to be strong, quit immediately. "You take your brothers, I'll hold them back!"

"Everyone, shut up!" The second child also said angrily: "I, I am your brother, I stay!"

"I'm the most useless, I'd better stay..." Even Lao Wu, who had always had no sense of existence, spoke up.

"Shut up, it's not your place to speak!" But his brothers scolded him in unison.

Just as the two brothers were arguing over who should cut off the rear, the second team of scouts rushed over again. This time, their faces were beaming with joy and they shouted loudly:

"Your Highness, this is a false alarm, reinforcements have arrived!"

"Where are the reinforcements coming from?" The brothers felt relieved at first, and then became nervous again. After Boss Zhu's tempering over the past few years, they have acquired the most basic vigilance. They know that the current situation is complicated and they cannot trust anyone easily.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is here!" the scout replied hurriedly.

"What, the sixth one is here?" The brothers were immediately overjoyed: "Is that really so?"

"It's absolutely true!" The scout pointed forward and said, "Here, your highness is here!"
