Early the next morning, when the sky was slightly white, above the wall of the Vermilion Bird Gate Palace, Wan Yankang and Li Mu stood side by side.

"Kang'er, don't be reckless." Mother Li looked at the iron harriers rushing in the distance, and her face could not hide her worry.

Wan Yankang shook the feather fan lightly and smiled: "Mother-in-law sits in peace, and watch the children break the enemy." ”

Li Zunwei, Li Quanzhong, Tuoba Ye and several ministers of culture and martial arts who took antidote stood behind the two, listening to Yan Kang's words, although everyone didn't say anything on their faces, they all felt that Wan Yan Kang was blowing nonsense.

The Iron Harrier was established during the Li Yuanhao period, and was the ace cavalry of Western Xia and the emperor's own army. The soldiers of the Iron Harrier are the best of the best, and they are the elite of the elite of the Western Xia cavalry, with heavy armor on all the men and horses, and the conventional configuration is one person, two horses or even three horses.

The Iron Harrier's greatest use is to charge into battle. On the battlefield, the heavily armored cavalry formed a charge, almost unstoppable. In order to maximize the ability to charge into battle, the Iron Harrier also tied people and horses together with hook locks. In this way, even if the knight is killed by an arrow, he will not fall from his horse, and the man and horse will continue to charge, which is enough to make the enemy fearful.

Relying on the power of the Iron Harrier, the Western Xia broke the enemy army and killed many people in several battles with the Song army, the Liao army and even the Jin army. The Xixia Kingdom has few small soldiers, and it can be established for two hundred years, and half of the credit must be counted on this iron harrier.

After seeing the power of the Iron Harrier, the Jin Kingdom also imitated a heavy cavalry called the Iron Floating Tu. In the early days of the war with the Song State, Tiefutu was also invincible and invincible. Later, the Song State took Yue Fei as the commander and defeated the Wushu several times, so that the entire army of Tiefutu was annihilated. After that, the Jin regime was unstable, and when Sejong finished Yan Jing, he liked literature and hated martial arts, so he did not rebuild Tiefutu.

Since Li Yuanhao, successive emperors of Western Xia have tried to expand the number of iron harriers. However, because the production and maintenance cost of iron armor that meets the requirements of the Iron Harrier is too high, and secondly, there are not many knights who can be qualified for the Iron Harrier, and at the peak of the Western Xia, the number of Iron Harriers has never exceeded 5,000.

The selection method of the Iron Harrier is mainly hereditary, from father to son, son to grandson, and only loyal to the emperor. When Li Zunwei ascended the throne, Li's mother also planted life and death charms for the ten captains who were then Iron Harriers. It's just that she planted a life and death talisman for the Manchu Dynasty at that time, mainly to control the situation for her son, not to have the ambition of Wu Zetian, and she didn't care too much about the personnel changes in the Iron Harrier.

At this time, the ten captains of the Iron Harrier had already been replaced by Li Zunwei and were no longer controlled by Li's mother.

Mother Li originally wanted to take advantage of Li Zunwei's order to trick Captain Iron Harrier into entering the palace, but was stopped by Wanyan Kang, saying that she wanted to solve it in a dignified manner.

The ten captains of the Iron Harrier had already received a secret order from Li Zunwei to prepare them. There was no movement in the palace that night, and no secret order from the emperor came, so they knew that something was wrong. The ten captains deliberated for half the night and decided to wait for dawn to kill the whole army to the palace and rescue His Majesty the Emperor.

Suzaku Street is about five zhang wide, and the whole street is paved with bluestone slabs, which is most suitable for cavalry galloping. On this Suzaku Street, the galloping sound of three thousand iron harriers is even more than the rolling thunder in summer.

And a hundred steps in front of the Suzaku Gate, a thousand unparalleled flying horses lined up. Seeing that the Iron Harrier's front line had reached within two miles, the cavalry still did not make the slightest move.

The cavalry of the Jin Kingdom is only afraid that they are scared stupid!

That's it, that's it, as soon as the Jin army is defeated, we will close the palace gate and defend the palace, Li Quanzhong thought in his heart.

The distance between the two battle formations was only one mile away, and Juekong shouted clearly: "Charge!" Wushuang slowly moved.

In the eyes of everyone on the city wall, the posture of this Jin army's charge is like a walk!

In the face of the Iron Harrier, the original 2,000 cavalry was actually only half used!

Attack strong with weak, hit more with less, and be so slow!

The people of Xixia at the head of the city seem to have seen the tragic situation of this thousand gold army being crushed into flesh and dust.

Li Zunwei's face was irrepressible with a hint of ecstasy, but because of the swelling on his face, he couldn't really see it.

Mother Li turned her head to look at Wan Yankang from time to time, only to see that he still looked full of confidence, and he was going to persuade him

Son, in the end, he swallowed it back.

When the distance between the two sides reached two hundred paces, Juekong slightly clamped the horse's belly and drove the whole army to accelerate.

After five breaths, Juekong picked up the strong bow on his back and shouted: "Zhang Gong!" ”

With a shout, the soldiers in the fifteenth row behind him all drew their bows and arrows.

"First column, shoot!"

In the first column, five rows of soldiers shot bows and arrows in their hands in a volley.

"Second column, shoot!"

Then a column of soldiers fired bows and arrows in their hands in a volley.

"Third column, shoot!"

The third column of soldiers fired bows and arrows in their hands in a volley.

Although Suzaku Street is wide, it is only a street after all, and the formation of iron harriers is ten horses in a horizontal row. When the first row of iron harriers saw that the Jin army began to release arrows at a hundred and fifty paces, they didn't even feel sneered.

Shoot arrows so far away, do you scare people!

Li Quanzhong and other generals who had led troops shook their heads unconsciously.

But they don't know that the effective range of the Musou is, two hundred steps!

Juekong only ordered the arrow to be released at a hundred and fifty paces, and it was already because the Iron Harrier was wearing iron armor that he put a few arrows closer.

Everyone in Western Xia was worried that Wan Yankang was too big and underestimated the power of the Iron Harrier. But they didn't know that Wan Yankang had led his army to fight against the 300 Tiefutu in Taizhou a few years ago, and won a complete victory.

Before leading his troops to Western Xia, Juekong had taken the Iron Harrier as an imaginary enemy, took more than a dozen Iron Floating Tu armors, and did the corresponding actual combat simulation. With a peerless strong bow and sharp arrows, at a distance of one hundred and fifty steps, you can shoot through the iron armor of the people and horses of the Iron Futu.

In the face of a salvo of ordinary bows and arrows, the Iron Harrier usually only needs to bow its head slightly to prevent the arrow from hitting the face. But the arrows fired by the Jin army outside the normal firing range are obviously very different from any long-range attacks of the enemy army in the past.

The sound of arrows breaking through the air is extremely sharp.

Immediately afterwards, the arrows came to him, and the iron harriers in the front rows cried out in pain from the arrows.

The formation of Wushuang's troops was a row of ten people, and the first three columns shot one hundred and fifty arrows in turn, causing at least fifty iron harriers to be hit by arrows.

Juekong's eyes were sharp, and he could see that his arrows were working well, and at least more than fifteen Iron Harriers had been killed by arrows.

However, none of these people who were killed by arrows fell from their horses. Some fell to one side, others crouched in front, and the horses under the seats seemed to be unaware, dragging the corpse of their master and continuing to charge.

Juekong shook his head helplessly and shouted: "Front row, shoot the horse!" ”

In Wushuang's drill, this situation had already been predetermined. It's just that for these men, who are mostly from the grassland, horses are their good friends, and they can save the horses as much as possible, so they naturally don't want to use them as shooting targets.

But at this time, there was no choice, and the unparalleled soldiers could only shoot the horses first.

The iron harrier's war horse is wrapped in an iron mask on its head, only its eyes, mouth and nose are exposed, and the front part of the horse's body is also covered with special chain mail that hangs down to the thighs.

In previous battles, the number of arrows killed by the Iron Harrier's horses was lower than that of the horsemen. For the horse, as long as it is not a vital point such as a shot in the eye, even if it is hit by three or five arrows in the rest of the place, it will not have much impact.

There was once a horse with an iron harrier that was hit by forty-eight arrows before he bled to death.

At a distance of one hundred and fifty paces, how many rounds of arrows can be fired?

For ordinary cavalry, being able to shoot ten rounds of arrows is already an elite division.

The second round of arrow rain of Wushuang told the iron harriers what it means to be fast! Permit! Vicious!

With the change of shooting target, the second round of arrow rain caused more than ten horses in the front row of the Iron Harrier to fall down with arrows.

Before the Iron Harriers could be shocked, the third round of arrow rain arrived.

As the distance narrowed, the soldiers in the back row of Wushuang also began to draw their bows and arrows.

This round of arrow rain caused even more damage. Thirty horses had already been killed, and only a few more Iron Harriers had been killed or wounded.

For three thousand iron harriers

In other words, the death of thirty horses is nothing more than a wound in the skin.

However, the position where they were fighting at this moment was not in the plains and wilderness, but on Suzaku Street.

As the horses in the front row fell one after another, the horses in the back row continued to trip.

A few of the iron harriers were able to break through the former smoothly, and ushered in a new round of sharp arrow strikes.

When Juekong was only fifty steps away from the front line of the Iron Harrier, the Suzaku Street was already filled with the corpses of the Iron Harrier's men and horses.

Fifty paces is a blink of an eye for a cavalryman.

But for the iron harrier at this moment, the distance of fifty steps is undoubtedly a trench.

The Iron Harrier charged into battle, never using bows and arrows, but only by the impact of heavy cavalry. At this time, they were so crowded with the corpses of men and horses that they could no longer charge forward, and they became targets for arrows.

Juekong ordered the charge to stop, and the whole army marched slowly.

No class of troops is absolutely invincible. After suffering a heavy blow, if the Iron Harrier retreats in time, it can still retain most of its strength.

But the iron harriers, who have always thought that they are invincible in the world, have only one thought in their minds at the moment, rush over and take revenge!

Although unable to charge, the Iron Harriers still urged the horses, trampling the corpses of the men and horses in front of them, and struggling forward.

Juekong gave the order down, the rear team inserted the rush forward, and the front team dragged back to take a short rest.

"Shoot!"

At this moment, the iron harriers and horses could not gallop, and under the forced urging of their masters, they walked slowly on the flesh and blood all over the ground, one foot high and one foot low.

The heavy cavalry that can't be attacked, even if they rush in front of them, what power is there!

The distance of dozens of steps, for the unparalleled soldiers, there is no need to suppress the rain of arrows at all, and one arrow can destroy an enemy, just like training target shooting on weekdays.

The iron harrier is connected to the people and horses with a hook lock, and the horses can still move forward after the death, but the war horses can't charge, even if they pass through the flesh and blood barrier and walk in front of the Wushuang array, they are just led aside by the Wushuang soldiers.

Iron Harrier thought that he was invincible in the world, but he gave heads and horses one after another.

The corpses of people and horses on Suzaku Street have fallen two or three floors, and it is difficult for horses to pass even if they are forcibly urged. Three of the ten teams of Iron Harrier have been wiped out, and the seven captains behind them are also completely frightened, and after a little discussion, they ordered the whole army to retreat.

After passing the order to retreat, the Iron Harriers looked at the bloody mud wall in front of them, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Advertise, the book app I've been using recently, there are many book sources, all books, and fast updates!

We can't rush over, and you can't catch up!

Juekong saw that the iron harriers were about to turn around and run, he didn't hurry, picked up a horn on his chest, puffed up his cheeks and blew.

With the sound of three short and two long horns, another thousand unparalleled flying horses poured out from the other end of Suzaku Street.

The leader of the army is Tian Dali, who holds a Zen staff the thickness of an adult's arm.

Tian Dali did not ride a horse, but stood in front of the formation and galloped, faster than the galloping horse.

After the first wave of strong bows and arrows, Tian Dali had already rushed to the front of the Iron Harrier Formation, he shouted, raised his Zen staff back, and then pulled forward suddenly.

When a war horse rushed to Tian Dali's body first, he slapped it in the chest with a Zen staff, flew back to the side and back, and hit the two horses next to him!

Tian Dali laughed loudly, stepped up, and the Zen staff danced wildly.

With the use of the little whirlwind, Tian Dali's body was within three zhang, and there were no living creatures!

Tian Dali returned to Shaolin in March, got the help of senior monks, and his martial arts went to a higher level. With his strong strength and mad wand method, Wan Yan Kang measured himself, and if he faced Tian Dali on the battlefield, he didn't want to face him head-on.

If the unparalleled rain of armor-piercing arrows made Iron Harrier feel desperate, Tian Dali's advance of this humanoid tyrannosaurus made Iron Harrier completely frightened.

Wan Yankang saw that the iron harrier no longer had the will to fight, and shouted on the palace wall: "Surrender and avoid death!" ”

"Surrender or die!" The unparalleled soldiers shouted in unison.

Li Zunwei closed his eyes in pain......
