The 5,000 cavalrymen of Tianjin Kingdom were hiding behind the hills and peaks.

As soon as the war between the two great powers broke out, they turned out from behind the peaks and rushed straight to the 200,000 troops of An Dynasty.

The speed of cavalrymen far exceeded that of infantrymen, and the ambush distance could be pulled far enough.

This was also in the territory of Tianjin Kingdom, and the range of An Dynasty's scouts' exploration was greatly compressed.

Until the shouting and killing on the front battlefield, these 5,000 cavalrymen did not encounter the scouts' exploration.

The generals who led the army were secretly happy. They did not expect An Dynasty to be so careless that they did not send scouts to search the surrounding area for dozens of miles.

The means originally prepared to strangle the scouts were not used.

"Brothers, the war has started, it's our turn to go on the field!"

"Go..."

Five thousand cavalrymen rushed out from behind the hills and began to speed up.

There are not many peaks in this area, only scattered small peaks are scattered nearby.

The cavalry made a rumbling sound as they ran. As long as they passed the two small hills ahead, they could face the An Dynasty army.

The generals were delighted and couldn't wait to see the panic of the An Dynasty army.

The two hills were not high and there were not many trees on them. The Tianjin Kingdom's cavalry didn't have to worry about ambushes.

Even if there were some scouts, it would be too late when they saw them.

However, the thing they least worried about came.

Suddenly a voice came from the mountain:

"Get up!!"

"Hoo!!"

On the ground ahead, dozens of thick ropes suddenly rose up and stretched tightly.

"Boom boom..."

Hundreds of war horses were unable to stop and were tripped by the ropes, breaking their bones and muscles with the horses.

"Tripping rope?!"

The Tianjin Iron Cavalry leader was startled, and then shouted: "Slow down, separate the left and right sides."

Although this place is a mountain, it is not high and the slope is gentle. The war horses immediately rushed towards the ambushing soldiers on both sides.

"Brothers, kill them..."

Seeing the iron cavalry rushing towards them, hundreds of An Dynasty soldiers in ambush retreated and ran very fast.

But two legs can't outrun four legs, and they are about to be caught up.

The Tianjin cavalry in front laughed ferociously, and the cold light on the broadsword was close at hand.

Suddenly, I felt lighter!

The warhorse under me suddenly sank and sank into the ground, and the cavalry on the horse's back flew up immediately.

"Damn, a horse pit?"

"Why is there a horse pit here?! Slow down, slow down!"

The iron cavalry is very strong after running, but also very fragile.

A rat hole on the ground can sometimes break a horse's leg.

Although the trip rope and horse trap are very lethal to cavalry, they are difficult to use in actual combat.

First, the direction of the cavalry needs to be predicted in advance, and the opponent will not hide.

Second, there needs to be enough time to ambush in advance.

Third, the ambush site must be hidden enough, and the opponent will not send out the vanguard to test and inspect.

If any of the conditions are not met, it is difficult to form lethality.

Now the An Chaodong Road Army has just left Chuzhou and entered the territory of Tianjin Kingdom for only a few days.

Zhan Boli and other Tianjin Kingdom generals could never have imagined that General Zhao actually sent people to this ghost place to ambush in advance.

You know, it takes a lot of time to set up trip ropes and horse traps, and it makes a lot of noise.

In other words, the trip ropes and horse traps were already ready before their cavalry arrived at the ambush site.

The Tianjin general with 5,000 cavalrymen had a flash of thought. Could it be that the enemy had already predicted that he would pass by here shortly after his cavalrymen left Haizhou City?

How is this possible?

The enemy is Zhuge Kongming, can he predict the future? He just left the city and the enemy even calculated the location in advance?

In fact, with General Zhao Li's experience, when he saw the 5,000 cavalrymen split up and detoured on the hologram, he had already guessed what the enemy wanted to do.

The Tianjin cavalrymen wanted to ambush the An Chao army, and in this wilderness, they had to use the small hills for cover.

And there were not many small hills available nearby.

Knowing the enemy's route, intention, force, and marching speed, it would be easy to set traps in advance.

The Tianjin general had no time to think about it at this time, so he had to order the cavalrymen to slow down and search forward to clear.

In this way, the speed was slow.

The generals were anxious, hoping to get out of the two peaks and into the wilderness.

By then, the cavalry could run freely in the vast wilderness.

I don't believe that An Chao could set up trip ropes and pits in all directions.

At this moment, thousands of people suddenly stood up from the vegetation on the mountain.

They drew their bows at the full moon, and arrows fell like rain.

"Ah... there are ambushes, fight back quickly..."

Five thousand cavalry,They all drew their bows and shot towards the mountain.

Suddenly, the An Dynasty soldiers also suffered casualties.

The ambushed An Dynasty soldiers were in a high position and had the advantage of terrain, but their accuracy and strength of archery were not as good as the Tianjin Iron Cavalry.

In addition, the mountain was short, so not too many people could be ambushed, and there were no trees or other shelters.

For a while, they were actually suppressed in the opposite direction.

But another advantage was that they delayed more time.

Just as they were about to leave this narrow place, they suddenly heard the sound of "tap tap tap" in front of them, and the ground was faintly shaking.

The Tianjin Iron Cavalry secretly thought it was not good.

Looking up from the horseback, they saw a foot army of tens of thousands of people, carrying spears, running towards them.

The Iron Cavalry generals trembled in their hearts.

There were trip ropes and horse pits. Now tens of thousands of soldiers took the initiative to kill, which was obviously well prepared.

As soon as they left the mountain, they faced tens of thousands of soldiers head-on.

Looking at the densely packed spears, the Tianjin generals felt cold in their hearts.

"We've fallen into a trap, retreat!" the general shouted, "Brothers, return the same way!"

As he said that, he turned his horse's head and wanted to return the same way.

As long as they get out of this place where the mountains are sandwiched, they would rather run farther and detour in the wilderness, and they will no longer be afraid of the infantry.

The original route has been run once, there are no trip ropes and horse pits, at least it is safe.

However, things are unexpected again.

When the Tianjin Iron Cavalry turned around and was about to rush to the intersection, they suddenly saw thousands of infantry blocking the intersection in front.

They were empty-handed, without bows and arrows, spears, and only a military broadsword.

What did they want to do? Want to use a thousand infantry to stop thousands of war horses?

All the Tianjin Iron Cavalry were confused.

But there was no second way to go at this time. They couldn't be scared by a thousand infantry and dare not move forward, right?

"Speed ​​up! Charge!"

The trip ropes disabled hundreds of men and horses, the pits killed hundreds more, and the archers on the mountain peaks died hundreds more.

As of today, the Jin cavalry is less than 4,000.

Even so, the momentum of the nearly 4,000 cavalry is still amazing.

An Chao's 1,000 infantrymen remained motionless, calculated the distance, and suddenly shouted: "Raise your spears!"

"Ah..."

The 1,000 infantrymen suddenly dug their hands into the ground and grabbed countless spears from the dust.

Some of them could no longer be considered "spears", but wooden thorns made of small trees, up to two or three feet long.

The infantrymen pushed one end of the spear against the ground and stabbed the other end diagonally forward.

All the infantrymen held the spears tightly and huddled at the tail.

"Boom... Boom... Boom..."

Countless war horses rushed head-on, and people and horses were thrown off their horses.

Countless spears pierced the bodies of war horses and cavalrymen.

But the huge impact of the iron cavalry also hit the An Dynasty soldiers.

They were immediately hit and bleed, and were pressed under the horses.

Most of the spear formation was also flattened.

Some of the war horses were unable to stop in time and slowly fell to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, more than a thousand cavalrymen fell to the ground.

When the Tianjin Iron Cavalry passed the spear formation, only more than two thousand cavalrymen followed.

None of the Tianjin Iron Cavalry thought that in this not-so-dangerous passage under the two peaks, they just went in and turned around, and half of their men and horses were cut off.

"General, what should we do now? Should we go to help General Zhan Boli?"

The Iron Cavalry general sighed: "With such calculations, I'm afraid that the war on General Zhan Boli's side is also very bad."

"We can only die if we go, retreat!"

As he said, he pulled up the reins and ran towards Haizhou City.

By the time the tens of thousands of infantry arrived at the two peaks, the cavalry had already run far away.

…………

Front battlefield.

Zhan Boli heard General Zhao reveal the ambush of the 5,000 cavalry, and heard shouts of killing coming from this side, but no cavalry appeared.

He also saw General Zhao take the initiative to divide his troops to intercept.

Knowing that the situation was irreversible, he had to call off the troops and slowly retreat!

General Zhao commanded the army to advance.

Seeing that the enemy retreated without disorder and the main cavalry was fast, he barely caught up for a while and then gave up.
