For cavalry, war horses are important partners that can be compared to their second life.
In a country like the Liao Army with highly developed cavalry, their truly elite cavalry team, soldiers will be assigned their own war horses from the day they are selected, and the feeding, cleaning, training, and even maintenance of this war horse
Even if he is resting, he will be tied to this soldier.
As nomadic people on the grasslands, the Liao people believed that horses have spirituality, and this spirituality must be fully developed by spending time with their owners day and night to cultivate tacit understanding and affection.
It can be said that most of the combat effectiveness of cavalry comes from the bonus of war horses.
And horses are not human beings. They don’t have so many tricks and thoughts that they shouldn’t have. After recognizing their owners, most of them stay with them until they grow old. Therefore, the cavalry’s trust in their horses is completely unconditional.
Under such circumstances, the war horses went crazy, and the blow to the cavalry was devastating.
The Liao army formation caused a huge commotion. Although all the cavalry were trying their best to control their horses, animals are not humans after all. How can they obey human orders when their instinctive panic breaks out?
It was good just to be thrown off the horse's back. The most terrifying thing was the stampede caused after the chaos. The horse's shoed leg stepped on the person, causing minor fractures and even severe rupture of the stomach and intestines. He died suddenly on the spot.
And the emotion of panic is contagious.
Whether it's a man or a horse.
After the chaos started, it spread quickly like a plague.
When Yelu Shenxuan saw this scene, his teeth were about to burst.
"Immediately order the ears of all war horses to be covered!"
After this order was conveyed, the ongoing chaos was finally contained.
Immediately afterwards, Yelu Shenxuan glanced into the distance, and he saw a young face that he had met once before, looking at him provocatively.
Yelu Shenxuan has a good memory. He still remembers that this person is called Su Pingbei, and he is someone close to Li Chen.
Needless to say, he must be the leader of the younger generation of generals in the Qin Dynasty, otherwise he would not be qualified to be led by Li Chen. Today, Yelu Shenxuan got a taste of Su Pingbei's methods.
"Order! Pursue!"
Yelu Shenxuan was so angry that he just wanted to skin Su Pingbei and cramp him.
Because of the riot just now, he lost more than 4,000 men, and even some of the horses that went crazy and uncontrollably were killed alive. For the Liao army, which had been reduced to relying on killing horses for meat,
It's adding insult to injury.
In the Liao army's formation, a large number of teams immediately separated and began to pursue the Qin army.
And because the Qin army was broken into pieces, the Liao army also changed their formations extremely flexibly. One team had about 500 people, which not only maintained an absolute numerical advantage, but also prevented the team from being bloated and unable to respond to the battlefield due to too many people.
The phantom battle situation ahead.
Seeing the furious Liao army chasing them, Su Pingbei acted very resigned and straightforward this time.
"Withdraw! Dog-walking tactics!"
The Qin army ran wildly in front, and the Liao army, which was full of anger, was chasing after them.
Gradually, the Liao army discovered that the Qin army was leading them in circles.
Moreover, this Qin army is extremely cunning, and the cooperation between their teams is extremely tacit. It is often the Qin army that leads a Liao army to a certain place, suddenly accelerates, and then the Liao army is chasing.
