Zhao Junsheng walked out of the handsome tent and stretched his limbs. After a crackling sound of bones all over his body, he felt comfortable all over.

The smell of mud and grass was blowing in, the camp was full of people, and the soldiers were busy washing, feeding the horses, or sitting on the ground in a circle, eating dry food, and chatting.

Kang Yide came over with two eunuchs, "Your Majesty, it's time to wash up!"

"Okay, I'll put a low table here later, and I'll have breakfast here after I wash up!" Zhao Junsheng took the towel from the eunuch and prepared to wash up.

"No!" Kang Yide agreed, and quickly gestured to a young eunuch next to him to prepare.

After Zhao Junsheng finished washing, the two eunuchs brought a low table and a horse tie to the side, and the eunuchs had already brought up the food and put them on the low table.

Zhao Junsheng sat on the mat and saw the food on the low table. There were even pancakes, a roasted rabbit and a pot of fish soup. He raised his head and asked Kang Yide: "Didn't I say that the diet during the march and the battle should be simple? What's the matter?" And Hubing, roasted rabbit and fish soup?"

Kang Yide bowed: "It was the pancakes that were fried by the servants, the rabbit was found and shot by the scouts last night during patrol, and the fish was caught by the soldiers of the imperial army just now when they found fish in the water when they were washing by the lake. Except Hu The cakes, rabbits, and fish were not specially prepared for His Majesty. Since the soldiers have already brought them, it is also their heart for His Majesty. They must hope that His Majesty can eat well, so that His Majesty can command the soldiers to win the battle. ".

Zhao Junsheng pondered for a while, "Just this one time, the next time will not be an example!"

"promise!"

Looking at the freshly fried Hu Bing, the roasted rabbit meat and the boiled fish soup were still steaming. The aroma of the food whetted Zhao Junsheng's appetite, so he picked up a piece of Hu Bing and ate it.

While eating, Kang Yide's voice came: "See Your Highness King Shu!"

Zhao Ping nodded to Kang Yide, walked up to Zhao Junsheng and bowed his fists, "Morning Father!"

Zhao Junsheng looked up: "Have you eaten?"

"not yet"

Zhao Junsheng said to Kang Yide: "Bring him a horse tie!"

"promise!"

Under Kang Yide's signal, a young eunuch immediately ran into the handsome tent and took a horse tie and put it behind Zhao Ping.

"Thank you, father, it's better to come early than to come early, my son is lucky!" Zhao Ping smiled and sat on the horse-trap, pressed the roast rabbit, tore off a leg and gnawed on it, and praised: "This barbecue skill is amazing!" Yes, Kang Yide, did you bake it?"

Kang Yide bowed: "Your Highness is joking, this old servant is not so skilled!"

Zhao Junsheng scooped up a small bowl of fish soup and ate it with Hu Bing, took a bite of Hu Bing and drank fish soup, chewed and asked, "Tell me, are you here to announce good news or bad news?"

Zhao Ping also replied while eating: "One joy and one sorrow! Does the emperor want to hear the bad news first, or the good news first?"

"Don't be silly with me, let's talk about the news from Nanchao first!"

Zhao Ping said helplessly: "How does the father know that there is news from the Southern Dynasty? Well, my son said, Lin Jinghui sent the news that the civil strife in the Southern Dynasty may not last long. After all, the rebels are only landless farmers. Mobilize these people, but after all, the time is short, there is no effective organization, no clear goals, and the hearts of the people are not unified. The selected strong men are okay to fight with the wind, but once there is a slight setback in the war, they will collapse soon!"

After hearing this, Zhao Junsheng said: "I didn't expect those rebels to drag down the Southern Dynasty, nor did I expect them to fight against the Southern Dynasty's army for ten years. He turned his head and shouted: "Come here, order the soldiers to get on their horses and prepare to attack with me!" "

Half an hour later, Yang Lie led a thousand cavalry menacingly to the vicinity of the marching Rouran army. The thousand Rouran cavalry on the outer right wing responded immediately and prepared to attack.

"Kill me—" Yang Lie raised his weapon and shouted, the Rouran army in front of him rushed over, followed by a thousand cavalry at a faster speed.

"Attack—" Commander Rouran held a mace and roared, patting his horse to meet him, and a thousand cavalrymen behind him made strange noises.

The main force of Rouran's army, which was under attack on the right wing, stopped advancing, and thousands of troops were preparing for reinforcements at any time under the order of Tu Hezhen.

The sound of rumbling horseshoes and a lot of screams kept coming, and all the Rouran soldiers turned their heads to look several miles away to the right. The cavalrymen who rushed over quickly shot arrows, waves of arrows The arrows kept shooting, but they quickly turned around.

Originally attacking the dry army cavalry formation with a long cross-section and short depth formation, it completed the process of turning and turning around in an extreme time, which is simply unimaginable.

The current situation is that a thousand Rouran cavalry are chasing behind, and a thousand dry army cavalry are fleeing in front. The Rouran cavalrymen kept being shot off their horses, which made the other Rouran cavalrymen furious, wishing to catch up immediately and shoot and hack the fleeing cavalrymen to death.

But no matter how hard the Rouran cavalry chased, they were still unable to catch up with the Qianjun cavalry in front.

Commander Rouran, who led the team, rang Khan Tuhezhen's order, and immediately reined in his horse and stopped: "Don't chase, go back!"

Chapter 903 Kill 3000 more people

Yang Lie, who was shooting his horse and fleeing while shooting arrows at the Rouran cavalry who was chasing behind, heard a shout: "General, the Rouran people have retreated!"

Yang Lie looked back when he heard it, and found that the Rouran who had been clinging to his back just now stopped chasing and returned to the direction he came from.

Yang Lie immediately pulled the rein and turned, shouting: "Turn around, chase!"

The U-turn of the dry army is not to stop moving forward and then turn around on the spot. Stopping suddenly and turning around on the spot will cause great damage to both the horse and the knight on horseback.

Ganjun turns first when galloping at high speed. During this process, the speed of galloping will slow down. The process of turning around is completed by knights riding in a small circle. It seems to take some time, but in fact it is faster than stopping suddenly and turning around on the spot. Not much slower, and it's safer to do so.

When riding a horse at a high speed, if the soldiers in the front row stop too quickly, there is a 90.00% chance of a rear-end collision if the soldiers in the rear do not react well enough.

There are protection measures for sitting in a car. In the event of a rear-end collision while sitting on horseback, there are no protection measures. Not only will the person who is hit be knocked upside down, but the cavalry who hits behind will also fly out due to inertia.

If you slowly decelerate and then turn on the spot, it doesn't matter if the formation is loose, it is only a matter of time to complete the turn and turn around, but if the formation is dense, large-scale cavalry turns are not easy to complete, and it will take a lot of time.

Under the leadership and command of Yang Lie, the thousand cavalry easily completed the U-turn, and once again chased the Rouran army horizontally with a rectangular army formation with a long cross section and short depth.

Why pursue horizontally with a rectangular army formation?It has several advantages: first, it is easy to complete the process of turning and turning around; second, it has a wide area to strike the enemy with bows and arrows.If you pursue the enemy in a deep formation, only the arrows of the soldiers in the front can hit the enemy, and the distance between the soldiers in the middle and the rear is too far, and the bows and arrows cannot hit the fleeing enemy in front; Convert to a goose-shaped formation, and then use the two wings to outflank and attack. If the number of enemy troops is small, you can also encircle and annihilate them.

The cavalry of the dry army has high mobility and fast speed. It is not because the horses of the dry army are faster than the Rouran people, but because almost all the cavalry of the dry army have more than two or three horses. During the high-speed galloping process, the knights can easily Change horses to ride to maintain speed.

"Commander, the Gan army is catching up again!" A centurion reminded Commander Rouran who led the team.

Commander Rouran turned his head to look, and shouted: "Leave them alone, speed up and join the main force of the brigade!"

The Rouran cavalry who were evacuating to join the main force were quickly overtaken by Yang Lie's cavalry, and there was another rain of arrows. The Rouran cavalry running behind fell off their horses like dumplings, screaming one after another.

The casualties were getting bigger and bigger, Commander Rouran's anger was provoked again, he stopped his horse and shouted: "Turn around and fight them!"

During the emergency stop, the Rouran cavalry was thrown out by their companions, but no one cared about them at this time.

The Rouran cavalry was encouraged by the commander's roar, and turned around one after another, but most of them didn't turn around, and the dry army cavalry rushed over, and the Rouran cavalry suffered heavy losses from a series of arrows , falling one by one.

Immediately afterwards, the dry army cavalry turned around quickly, and before the remaining Rouran cavalry slapped their horses in pursuit, the dry army cavalry had completed the turn and retreated at an extremely fast speed.

"Chasing, chasing them, killing them all!" Commander Rouran saw that less than half of the 1000 men under his command were left, how could he not be angry?He was dizzy with anger, yelled and flattered his horse and chased after him again.

The dry army cavalry once again performed the Parthian tactics perfectly. While riding horses and galloping at high speed in front, they turned their heads and shot arrows to kill the chasing Rouran army.

"Plop, plop..." Someone in the Rouran army kept getting shot and fell off the horse, but the arrows shot by the Rouran people always fell behind the cavalry of the army, and they couldn't catch up.

Seeing that there are fewer and fewer people under him and around him, Commander Rouran felt unspeakable anger and aggrieved in his heart. This general is really damned. , or shoot arrows during the pursuit, leaving him and his Rouran cavalry nowhere to vent their anger.

At this moment, there was a loud whistle from the dry army, and the dry army cavalry, which was originally in a fairly neat formation, suddenly dispersed and divided into many small teams, and they scattered in all directions.

"Which... Which team should I chase?" Commander Rouran on the horse hesitated a bit, although he didn't make a decision, but the mount was still galloping forward.

The dry army cavalry scattered to the two wings slowed down at this time, while the dry army still running ahead maintained their speed. Commander Rouran soon found that he and his men were surrounded by the dry army.
