Regardless of the few Qiang people here and the rear team, the front team led by Zhang Liao quickly came into contact with the incoming horse thieves.

The horse thieves dispersed widely. When they saw Zhang Liao and others coming forward, they shouted and led their men straight towards Zhang Liao and others without hesitation. It was like a big net, and they passed towards Zhang Liao.

.

Zhang Liao had already reached the front at this time. When he saw the movements of the horse thieves, he gave a loud order, and his cavalry fired arrows non-stop towards both sides!

The horse thieves who attempted to double-team the front were immediately shot so hard that they fell onto their backs and fell into the yellow dust, splashing a few red flowers. However, those behind were still surging ahead, and because of the horse thieves' skirmishing line,

It's wide open, so direct damage from arrows isn't too great.

This is the characteristic of horse thieves, and it is also the disadvantage of horse thieves.

Horse thieves are horse thieves. Even if they are physically stronger and more fierce than ordinary people, their training is definitely not as good as Zhang Liao and other regular soldiers, especially the hussars, so there is no need to think about riding and shooting, except for some who are good at bows and arrows.

Except for the horse thieves, most of the horse thieves can only fight hand-to-hand, so they must be stretched very wide when charging. On the one hand, it is also to create a huge momentum, and on the other hand, it is also to avoid the damage caused by the arrows from the opposite side.

.

Zhang Liao shouted loudly, pointed his spear, and led his soldiers into a sharp formation, charging forward into the loose formation of the horse thieves!

There was also a gap in training between the soldiers and armor, which made the horse thieves almost powerless to parry from the very beginning. Amidst a burst of rapid whistles, they all avoided Zhang Liao's sharp edge or moved to both sides.

, or turn around and run directly into the diagonal thrust. Almost in the blink of an eye, Zhang Liao and others dug a huge hole in the skirmisher line of the horse thieves.

Seeing Zhang Liao's invincibility on the battlefield in the distance, the horse thieves fled in panic. The hussars in the rear group also cheered loudly. Even the few Qiang people who were originally uneasy couldn't help but cheered along with joy!

Damn horse thieves!

Today too!

In this wild desert, horse thieves have always been a pain to the Qiang people.

Especially the small tribes of the Qiang people. Because the Qiang tribes are scattered and have never had a relatively large leader. In addition, after several rebellions, the originally large tribes were scattered and injured. The Huns are no longer here.

Well, the Xianbei people didn't care about this area, so these horse thieves took advantage of this loophole and became the actual rulers and tax collectors of this area.

Every year, these Qiang tribes who are unable to resist must obediently hand over part of their cattle, sheep and horses, which are treated as taxes to these horse thieves, and then exchanged for a flag with a logo, which can be hung on the top of the tent or hung

On the flagpole of the marching queue, there will naturally be no other horse thieves coming to harass you. If it’s okay not to hand over, then don’t go on the road... Well, don’t meet these horse thieves on the grassland, otherwise it will be a tragedy...

…

Of course, none of the taxes collected by the horse thieves will reach the hands of the generals. And the current large group of horse thieves shows how much these guys have gained from this land over the years.

How many benefits...

Zhang Liao and his troops were already fighting against the horse thieves.

The difference in armor is fully revealed in a direct collision. Take the horse thieves' spears and spears as examples. They are ordinary hard wooden poles. There is no problem in using them under normal circumstances. There are also problems when they are stabbed into the body.

It is quite powerful, but if they block each other and the strength is staggered, there will be some problems with the spears and spears of these horse thieves. To put it simply, they are not elastic enough and break too easily...

The lances and spears under the Hussars are all specially made with composite gun handles. They are usually three or four wooden poles soaked in tung oil, dried in the shade and glued together in one place. Not only do they have sufficient hardness,

It also has good toughness and is good in everything. The only disadvantage is of course that it is expensive.

After being equipped with a high bridge saddle and double stirrups, such a gun barrel can not only be used as a spear or spear, but can even be used as a stick and whip at certain times!

The two sides fought together and bumped into each other fiercely. Amidst the sounds of people shouting and horses neighing, I saw the horse thieves falling off their horses one by one like dumplings...

Zhang Liaochong was at the front, and with the spear dancing, no matter whether the horse thieves touched or touched him, the weapon would either be thrown away or blood would be splashed!

Although the horse thieves had a numerical advantage in the current battle, it was Zhang Liao and others who had the upper hand during the battle! Zhang Liao led his men in the horse thieves formation, cutting out lines like a steel knife cutting flesh.

The wound, cut off pieces of flesh and blood!

After all, the horse thief couldn't bear Zhang Liao's insult and ran away cursing.

Amidst the cheers, the cavalry formation that had stayed behind moved forward to rendezvous. Without Tebi's orders, they took the initiative to assume the responsibility of patrolling and guarding the surroundings, and sent out scouts to continue to detect the surrounding situation.

The people in the front group slowly gathered their ranks and began to clean the battlefield.

The orderliness of professional soldiers is a kind of strange beauty, full of infinite charm, which made the Qiang people who were watching the battle from beginning to end couldn't help but tremble a little.

Zhang Liao jumped off his horse and took a water bag from the corpse of a horse thief, using it to clean the blood stains on his horse, armor and weapons.

Soldiers and weapons must be well maintained. Moreover, by doing this, you can also find some small wounds on yourself or the war horse caused by fighting in the battlefield, and deal with them in time. Otherwise, the war horse cannot speak, and you may think it is

Isn't it embarrassing to find out after a long time that someone else's blood is the blood of your own horse?

After looking around, he didn't find any special problems, so Zhang Liao poured the remaining water in the water bag into a helmet and brought it to the mouth of the war horse.

The war horse gurgled and drank some water, then snorted and shook its neck happily.

"General!" The scouts sent out to follow the horse thieves came back, "Those horse thieves are heading northeast!"

"Northeast?" Zhang Liao frowned.

The scout said: "That's right! These guys first ran north for about five miles, and then looked at the horse hoof prints and ran to the northeast..."

"Get the map!" Zhang Liao ordered.

The guard quickly stepped forward, took out the map from the leather bag, and found a relatively flat and clean ground to unfold it.

"We are now..." Zhang Liao followed the map and moved his finger, "Here... Then these horse thieves first fled north, and then changed to the northeast... Hmm... That's not right...

According to previous intelligence information, the horse thief's lair should be in the northwest, but now the horse thief has turned to the northeast, which means that the two are in completely different directions.
