Kou Jianghuai had spent so much effort on a single premise.
Even if the Beiliang cavalry faced the Beimang cavalry, they dared to fight, could fight, and could win!
Kou Jianghuai opened his eyes abruptly and sneered, "Ever since Dafeng began its decline, your grassland cavalry has been knocking on the northern pass and bullying the Central Plains for more than four hundred years. You see the big city passes as nothing and come and go as the wind!"
The 10 thousand cavalry behind Kou Jianghuai started to push forwards, not too fast nor too slow.
These 10 thousand cavalry were really weird, and their aura was really majestic.

Within Northern Mang's central army's commander tent, Huang Songpu stood in his armor with his hand on his blade, his expression calm and composed. He looked towards the dozen or so captains of great ages within the tent. There were trusted subordinates that he personally fostered, as well as those who spoke for Southern Dynasty's Longguan Influential Families, as well as young and robust generals who relied on their simple backgrounds to climb up to their current high positions.
Huang Songpu said solemnly, "This time the 30 thousand Long Xiang army has appeared. They probably know that they can't defend Qingcang City, but they aren't willing to expose Qingyuan Army Town at the west gate of Liangzhou to us. Hence, they want to go all in, saving a lot of trouble! All of you have been through hundreds of battles, so there's no need for me to nag about such small matters. Just remember that we have an absolute advantage in numbers, so we have to make use of it. Apart from the supply camp at the back, the other four camps must not stretch too far. We have to support one another, and we must not take risks. For this trip to Liuzhou, the peace decree gave us four words: a small loss is a victory! "
Huang Songpu looked at the people and then cupped his fists towards the north, "Everyone! I, Huang Songpu, am close to 70 years old. Back then, even the king of the South Courtyard left. If it weren't for the war going badly, I wouldn't be here today. I have nothing more to ask for in my life. However, out of all of you, the oldest one is not more than 50, and the highest official rank is only Primary Grade 3! After taking down Liuzhou, no matter how you reward me, I, Huang Songpu, will give you the title of Great General! "
Everyone in the tent was instantly pumped up.
In the central plains, an emergency mobilization of more than one hundred thousand soldiers was definitely not something that could be deployed in a short period of time.
However, the Beimang Cavalry was different. When the Generals hurriedly returned to their camps, loud bugles sounded from all four camps.
However, because the appearance of the thirty thousand Liu Province elite cavalry was too unimaginable, and the speed of their advance was too fast, the three battalions at the front were still slightly behind, and to a certain extent, they had lost the initiative.
When the cavalry charged, the enormous penetrative force brought about by the weight and speed of the warhorses, as well as the terrifying penetrative force brought about by the sabers and iron spears in the hands of the cavalry, all required a considerable distance to charge up.
Furthermore, when both sides had enough time to launch a charge, if one side could coincidentally launch a collision at the peak of their momentum, and the other side only needed to use too much force to show signs of exhaustion, the latter would suffer a great loss.
The difference in strength between the battalions could be seen at a glance.
Huang Songpu's personal elite cavalry was the fastest to finish organizing, spreading out layer after layer of vanguard lines at the front of the middle road.
Long Pass's Jia Clan's direct line of soldiers followed closely behind, but the hundreds of elite cavalry equipped with heavy cavalry did not show themselves.
The cavalry gathered by the Yi Clan of the Southern Dynasty were all in a mess. Although they were not afraid of battle, with the great battle imminent, this kind of chaotic mental state could easily affect the pace of the warhorses.
The reason why a cavalry was a cavalry.
The warhorses were extremely important!
The previous Beiliang Protector-General Chen Zhibao had always ridiculed the Beimang cavalry with their lax military discipline as' infantry on horseback '!
And in Beiliang, every warhorse, every saber, every spear seemed to be infused with the old rules that the butcher Xu Xiao had accumulated his entire life on the battlefield.
On the battlefield, no matter how many merits a general had, no matter how deep his seniority was, no one was allowed to use a halberd or horse lance, no one was allowed to wear gold or silver armor, and no one was allowed to stand alone in front of the vanguard!
The vast land of yellow sand that stretched as far as the eye could see.
The Beiliang cavalry was like a huge wave of the Guangling River, surging forward.
Huang Songpu, who had already mounted his horse, looked into the distance. He gripped the iron spear in his hand tightly and let out a sigh of relief.
Luckily, there were still four hundred grass barricades scattered around the perimeter. Otherwise, if the Liuzhou cavalry were to silently advance another three li, they would not have the chance to get out of the camp so easily. Perhaps there would be thousands of casualties.
Huang Songpu turned his head and glanced.
The current situation was still acceptable. Although it was still a little rushed, especially since his right wing cavalry could not keep up with the center and left wing. However, the Beiliang cavalry had always had a tradition. Thirty thousand cavalry formed an army. On the battlefield, the three Generals led thirty thousand cavalry to form a main force in the field. It was enough to deal with all kinds of emergencies. Whether to fight or to retreat, how to fight and how to retreat, who to lure the enemy, who to disturb the formation, who to cut through the formation, or who to cover the rear, as well as how the heavy and light cavalry should cover each other, they could all be said to know by heart.
If the Northern Liang Cavaliers were like private tutors with strict rules, then the Central Plains Cavaliers were naturally clever and unruly people in the marketplace. In Huang Songpu's eyes, both sides had already reached the peak of their combat ability, and there was no difference between them on the battlefield. The only thing that mattered was the reaction speed of their commanders!
Huang Songpu raised his iron spear high and squeezed his horse's belly. He roared, "Boys, follow me to break through Liuzhou and slaughter our way into Liangzhou!"
General Huang Songpu took the lead.
All the Generals, chiliarchs, and centurions of Beimang's western army were the same.
Not fearing death was definitely not unique to Beiliang!
In the eyes of Beimang, the Central Plains and Liyang troops that seemed so far away were nothing. Only the Beiliang Frontier Army that was right in front of them was worthy of fighting with the Beimang cavalry!
The first battle of Liang Mang was mostly a siege battle. Beimang had indeed broken through Liangzhou's Hutou City, Youzhou's Wougong City, and Luanhe City.
The main forces of both sides of Liang Mang would probably feel that it was not enough to fight to their heart's content.
Then the second battle of Liang Mang.
Starting from the Miyun Pass in the west, to the current Liuzhou, to the hinterland of the Southern Dynasty, and then to the future Liangzhou Pass.
The cavalry battle did not stop!
Both sides, the enemy and us, died on horseback!
