Chapter 161: Yuhang's Tragic Song - Heavy Cavalry Bloody Battle

Travel back in time to before the gunshots rang out. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The first group of demon army soldiers had just appeared at the huge gap of one hundred and ten meters at the south gate of Yuhang Town.

The demon soldiers who stepped onto the gravel didn't even have time to let out a shout of celebration.

From far and near, the sound of horses' hooves filled his ears like rolling thunder, and in front of him, the dust raised covered the sky and the sky......

Then the bewildered demon soldiers were nailed to death in the gap by a rain of arrows.

Groups of black and white heavy armored cavalry rushed out of the gap, and by the way, they tore a huge gap in the thousands of demon troops that had not yet gained a firm foothold.

These heavy armored cavalrymen wearing black and white armor were Huang Fuying's garrison cavalry battalion and Shen Qi's Bright Knight Brigade.

Speaking of which, the garrison cavalry battalion was nominally nothing more than a local army, and it was the personal army of the city lord like the city guards.

Generally speaking, few city lords are willing to equip heavy armored cavalry, after all, the cost of a heavy armored cavalry can feed ten ordinary light armored soldiers, and the cost is too large, so it is really not cost-effective to use it to guard the place and deter a few small thieves.

And Yuhang Town is different, the predecessor of the Huangfu City Lord was the head of the Holy See Knights, and there were already a large number of henchmen and knights, after the resignation, most of these knights also stayed in Yuhang Town, at least there was no shortage of soldiers, and the Huangfu family was also a famous family of the original Holy See, full of heritage, and there was no need to worry about the cost, so this was such a heavy armored knight battalion comparable to the regular army for a long time.

Heavy cavalry has an absolute crushing advantage over infantry, especially light infantry.

The five thousand siege infantry sent by the first wave of the demon army, under the command of the leading officer, only resisted for more than ten seconds before they were completely defeated.

The rout was so crisp that even Huang Fuying and Shen Qi were a little incredible.

I thought that the black magic army, which was known for its brutality and death, would not all fight to the death and never retreat, and be indomitable?

As a result, he was like a duck and was killed by his own cavalry.

This ending somewhat made these two young officers who had just entered the battlefield a little incomprehensible.

Shen Qi instigated his war horse and raised his hand to shoot the crossbow arrow in his hand.

A cold light, in the midst of a chaotic army, the officer who tried to direct the sergeant to counterattack fell in response.

On the side, Uncle Zhuang, the chief knight, is a demon army that has fallen into madness and rushed up.

Shen Qi slowed down and watched the knights on both sides harvesting the defeated soldiers of the Black Demon Army in an orderly manner, and his original nervous mood also relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "Uncle Zhuang, it seems that the Demon Army is no more than Erer!"

"Major General, these are the lowest-level demon servant army, they are just cannon fodder-level existences in the demon army, and their combat power is not worth mentioning at all, the elite of the demon army cannot be underestimated!"

The chief knight also looked up into the distance, and as he spoke, the horns in the demon army camp sounded continuously, and the camp door was wide open.

Groups of black devil cavalry came out of the camp, about two thousand people, one or two hundred meters in front of the camp.

There was even a gorgeous carriage guarded by hundreds of high-ranking soldiers, and then came out, and actually broke away from the range of the camp and came behind the black devil cavalry.

Huang Fuying and Shen Qi noticed this almost at the same time, their eyes flickering with a cold light.

Huangfu Ying rode over, licked his lips and said, "Brother Shen, what a chance, there must be the leader of the demon army in that carriage, not to mention that he appeared in front of the battle rashly, but he only brought such a small number of people to escort him, which is just a good opportunity for us to assault!"

"That's right, what a chance!" Shen Qi nodded in agreement.

But the knight commander on one side didn't think so, "Captain, Your Excellency the Huangfu Battalion Commander, I'm afraid it's not so simple, since the other party dares to come out, he must have something to rely on! I think I should be cautious!"

Huang Fuying disagreed, raised his spear and pointed at the other party, "The knight chief is too worried, the demon army has just rushed here, there will be no preparation at all, and there is no time to repair, so he came out to fight, which itself reduces the chance of victory, it is also a heavy cavalry, and the number is not superior, I don't see any threat to us from the other side!"

"This, I agree!Even if it's a bait, let's swallow it!" Shen Qi then nodded, and said with a ruthless look in his eyes, "Knight Chief, in fact, our goal doesn't need to be very high, as long as we defeat the Black Devil Cavalry, it is best to kill or capture the leader of the Demon Army alive, if not, even if we force the leader of the Demon Army to retreat, it is also a very ideal result, after all, as long as the opponent's handsome flag retreats, it will have a great blow to the morale of the Demon Army, and it will also give us more time to evacuate." ”

Having said that, the knight chief no longer insisted.

The previous battle to expel the Majin infantry was too easy, and the garrison battalion and the Knight of Light basically did not suffer much loss.

Under the guidance of the rallying horn, the cavalry returned to the cage according to the company and reformed the charging phalanx.

"Woo ......"

A high-pitched and low charge horn sounded.

The well-trained cavalry raised their spears one after another, accelerated their horses a little bit, and rushed in the direction of the demon army camp.

Almost at the same time, the black devil cavalry also sounded the earth-shattering war drums, and in the shouting and shouting, the black devil cavalry brandished their war knives and took the simplest and most direct head-on impact.

The two iron horses collided like two floods.

In all fairness, there is not much difference between the Black Devil cavalry and Yu Hang's cavalry in terms of equipment, and there is not much difference in personal combat skills, even the most ordinary members are senior trainees who are close to official knights.

The only difference may be that there is a huge difference between the two in terms of combat experience.

On one side are the Black Devil Cavalry who became famous in bloody battles in Liaodong in Liaoxi, and on the other side are the well-trained but few officers and soldiers of the Bright Knights and Garrison Battalions.

On the surface, they are intertwined with each other, rushing to kill each other, and it is not clear for a while, which is strong and which is weak, and only after fighting can we know.

Not far away, in a small forest on a hillside, a cavalry team quietly rode their horses and hid in it.

"Huang Fuying and Shen Qi's choice is right, impacting the enemy formation and coercing the coach seems to be a bit gambling, but it is the most ideal way to retreat from the enemy. Chief of Staff Duan, dressed in a black robe, said in a low voice.

Commander Lin silently wiped a thick-bladed heavy sword in his hand, "Well, yes, if I were in their position, it would be the same, but unfortunately, they didn't recognize the opponent, but overestimated their own strength, this kind of impact, we must be ruthless, we must grasp the troops, we must not fall into it." ”

"That's right, Commander, it's a pity they're already trapped!"

In any cavalry duel, a charge can often only engage the same opponent once, killing the enemy or being killed, or returning without success.

There is no possibility of turning over and fighting.

In this way, the cavalry must work the decisive blow, but also have no distractions, and if the blow misses, do not focus on the opponent who has passed by mistake, but focus on the next target that appears.

If you hesitate, it will interfere with the rhythm of the whole team, which will lead to the destruction of the momentum of the forward.

Moreover, once the cavalry charge loses speed, eighty percent of the skill strength cannot be brought into play, and it becomes the opponent's prey.

These are all issues that must be covered in textbooks and that have been repeatedly emphasized by ear.

However, no matter how much emphasis is emphasized, as long as these fatal experiences cannot be engraved into the bone marrow, when it comes to the battlefield, a hot-headed person is likely to forget it completely.

And this is precisely the fundamental difference between an iron-blooded veteran and a tough rookie.

The cavalry under Huang Fuying and Shen Qi may not be rookie recruits in the strict sense of the word, and every cavalry under them may have participated in three or five battles while being well-trained.

But their opponents were either weak thieves or guerrilla barbarians.

The key to truly judging whether a troop is strong in combat strength is not how many battles it has experienced, let alone how many weak opponents it has eliminated.

The scarecrows who cut off their heads wantonly, and the light infantry who had no resistance in front of the heavily armored spears, did not mean anything to the cavalry.

No matter how much you kill, it only boosts self-confidence, and it can't essentially free yourself from the rookie coat.

Only when it is against opponents of the same level or even stronger than oneself can it be the real test of how many catties and taels the cavalry troops have.

Obviously, neither Huang Fuying nor Shen Qi's cavalry handed in satisfactory answers.

As soon as it collided, it looked like it was quite powerful.

The casualties on both sides were equal, and dozens of knights each fell from their horses.

But as the charge continued, when the familiar comrades around him fell off their horses with a miserable howl.

Their ranks are starting to become unstable.

Some roared angrily and tried to turn around for revenge, while others rushed forward desperately in horror and frenzy.

Soon the whole forward line was thrown into disarray.

Instead of piercing through the formation of the Black Demon Cavalry, they were deeply trapped in it, and the entire cavalry was divided into several small pieces, unable to extricate themselves.

Seeing this scene from afar, Head Lin exhaled deeply.

"Chief of Staff, pass the order, sort out the equipment, it's time for us to appear!"
