Chapter 610: The Emperor's Duel

On the plain outside Xijin Province, two of the world's most powerful troops collided together, and China at this time has always been the possessor of military and technological advancement of this era, and the battle between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty is the best interpretation.

Dressed in plate armor, the owner of the unrivaled speed and strength, they are like wild beasts rampaging on the battlefield, just in momentum alone a lot higher than the Liao, when the two armies collide together, the Liaoren are not opponents in an instant.

The heavy cavalry is a fierce beast on the battlefield, a soldier who breaks the formation, the Beiwei army led by Di Qing raised the spear in his hand when he received the enemy, and in an instant, the cavalry formation of the Great Song Dynasty was like stretching out countless spikes, like thorns crashed into the military formation of the Liao army.

The cavalry spear is the standard equipment of the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty, mainly for the convenience of use when breaking the formation, Zhao Zhen has an understanding of the cavalry tactics of the nomads, especially the Khitans, the Khitan people have superb riding skills, dodge and move quite well, and often can avoid many deadly attacks.

In Di Qing's words, the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty was mostly born from the method of infantry, and in Zhao Zhen's words, it was called a group charge.

The characteristics of the Beiwei army are to be disciplined, listen to commands, even when engaging the enemy, they can still maintain the military formation, and tens of thousands of people attack in unison to make up for the lack of technology!

Those who couldn't meet the requirements and had excellent skills all went to the White Army, and now they have become Zhao Zhen's guards, so they can't help it.

Zhao Zhen is under the protection of the White Army, no, it should be said that under their coercion and the Liao people's military formation collided together, after the White Army is the royal general, the kung fu and martial arts are naturally not weaker than the Liao, and after long-term training and the hands and mouths of the elders in the clan, the attack is tricky and the protection is thorough, so that it can be calmly dealt with in the Liao army.

But at this time, Zhao Zhen was very envious of the Beiwei army led by Di Qing, this army was like a battlefield bulldozer moving forward unstoppably, of course, Zhao Zhen knew that Di Qing couldn't stop if he wanted to, the biggest advantage of the heavy armored cavalry was speed, once it lost speed, it meant becoming a live target for the enemy cavalry.

Fortunately, there are a large number of people in the Beiwei army, echoing endlessly, and the Beiwei army is not all heavy cavalry, and there are some cavalry wearing cuirass, which is a slightly special military branch of the Great Song Dynasty.

These cuirassiers are not only different from other backslaught troops, but also have different requirements for blades and figures, Di Qing's requirements for their height must be above six feet, and the height of the Great Song Dynasty is more than thirty centimeters, that is, the height must be more than one meter eight! And their weapon was nothing but a cavalry saber and nothing else.

The so-called cavalry saber is actually evolved from the Tang horizontal knife, the length is longer, the original straight blade has become a little curved, the wide back is thin, and the blade is relatively heavy, which is conducive to increasing the strength of the chopping, and the center of mass of the scimitar is far away from the handle, which increases the lethality of the knife.

The Curved Saber provides a cutting blow. When the edge of this type of blade hits a target, it continues to slash into the target while also slicing across the surface, increasing the damage dealt by the initial slash.

In contrast, a straight-edged weapon provides a blow when slashing more closely to an axe to a wood.

At the beginning, the appearance of these cuirassiers surprised Zhao Zhen, because it was all Di Qing's own idea and played Zhao Zhen, that is to say, Di Qing summed up the experience through his own observation and practice, and the talent can be imagined, you must know that these so-called cuirassiers are an important magic weapon for Napoleon to gallop on the European battlefield in later generations!

It seems that when it comes to military affairs and large-scale wars, the ancient Oriental China is superior.

In front of the heavy cavalry wearing full body plate armor reunited and broke the formation, and then the cuirassier cavalry caught the knife to make up for the killing, the perfect cooperation of the two armies was a fatal blow to the Liao people, you immediately kung fu? I, the heavy armor of the Great Song Dynasty cavalry, will clash with you so that you have nowhere to hide!

This is almost a rogue tactic, that is, forcing the Liao people to fight with the Song army from the front, the strong armor has become a favorable bonus for the Great Song Dynasty, and it is difficult for the Liao people's weapons to penetrate the plate armor of the Great Song Dynasty, and the more the Great Song fights, the more momentum rises, when you find that the enemy's weapons can not pose too much threat to you, that is when you kill the Quartet.

Sharp spears, cavalry knives quickly harvested the Liao people wearing leather armor, and the weapons of the Great Song Dynasty were almost all refined, thanks to the craftsmen of the Ordnance Department and the progress of hydraulic forging technology, it can be said that the Gewu of the Great Song Dynasty laid the foundation for this battle.

The battlefield has been killed, Peng Qi with the white army and the veterans of the pro-guard division to guard Zhao Zhen's side, the Liao people knew that they were at a disadvantage, so Xiao Hui began to concentrate a large number of troops on Zhao Zhen, in a vain attempt to capture Zhao Zhen and make the Great Song Dynasty defeated.

The sharp long knife slashed through the body of the Liao people, and the huge force even cut off half of the Liao people's bodies, Peng Qi scolded in the military formation: "Damn Di Qing, don't you divide troops to help at this time?!" ”

After finishing speaking, he locked his eyes on Zhao Zhen and watched vigilantly, it was the third time that he had hacked down the Liao people who had leaked into the official's side...... It's not that the veterans of the Qinwei Division can't do it, and it's not that the white army doesn't need to die, but there are too many Liao people around, and after seeing Zhao Zhen's dragon flag, they rushed up desperately.

As long as Zhao Zhen died, the Great Song Dynasty would lose even if he won the war, and he would lose completely, and the sky would fall apart.

After the battle to defend the city, the number of troops of the Liao Dynasty has decreased sharply, only about 100,000 people remain, and the Great Song Dynasty has suffered a lot of casualties after repeated battles, only 80,000 people, and these 80,000 people now give up the risk of the city wall, and the Liao people are fighting on the plain, this is what the Liao people are looking forward to, in their opinion, how can the 100,000 Khitan iron cavalry in their hands not be the opponent of the Song people?

But now they found out that they were wrong, and they were very wrong, the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty was not only not weaker than them, but superior in equipment! This can be regarded as a fatal blow to the Liao people.

Originally, the psychology of being high and winning was also broken in an instant, Yelu Zongzhen knew that Xiao Hui was going to capture and kill the Great Song Emperor Zhao Zhen, but he didn't say a word, the Great Song Emperor actually personally got on the war horse and rushed to the Great Liao, is this still the Great Song Dynasty? !

At this time, Yeluzong could only unwillingly admit that the Great Song Dynasty had changed, and the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty had changed!

Zhao Zhen can be protected very well in the military formation, even if there are one or two fish that slip through the net, they are quickly eliminated by the surrounding guards, and at this time, Yelu Zongzhen also led his most elite leather room army to kill Zhao Zhen, and the back army in Di Qing's hands also moved in the direction of Zhao Zhen.

The center of the battlefield has unwittingly become the location of the two emperors, and the real battle has just begun.
