Seven hundred and thirty-eight The first battle of the Tiger Guard's heavy cavalry

Heavy armor is too heavy to wear when rushing, and it is generally worn after the enemy is spotted when the large army sentry is riding to the enemy.

Like Wei Yan, the Tiger Guard Heavy Cavalry also needed auxiliaries to help them put on heavy armor.

They can't wear these heavy armors themselves.

According to the complexity and weight of these heavy armors, a heavy rider cannot wear them on his own, and it takes at least two to three people to help them put them on well.

The heavy armor made of fine iron is almost brand new, it looks very heavy, the whole is silvery-white, and the square iron pieces seem to be glued together one by one, densely packed, almost no gaps can be seen, and it looks very defensive.

Three hundred tiger guards heavy cavalry, Guo Peng's request for three heavy cavalry auxiliaries, when the battle was imminent, the auxiliaries quickly got started to wear heavy armor for the heavy cavalry.

First, the front breastplate and back armor were worn, then the abdominal armor, then the front and rear skirt armor of the lower body, then the heart guards on the chest, and then the shoulder armor, which was also equipped with thickened armor similar to heart goggles to protect the shoulders.

Different parts of the armor are linked to each other with belts or ropes, interlocking, putting on and taking off need someone to help, once put on, it is impossible to take it down on the battlefield.

The front and back armor of the upper body is enough to protect the entire upper body, and the heavy armor of the lower body is enough to protect the legs.

The military shoes worn on the feet are also quite different from those of ordinary soldiers, they are the style of long boots, the entire calf can be protected, and the material is mostly cowhide, which is very thick.

Finally, there is the helmet, in order to look mighty, the helmet also has two sharp horns, the helmet itself can completely protect the back of the head and the side of the face, and the part of the iron piece woven to protect the neck stem, the chest is fully armored, leaving no gaps.

Not only that, but there is also a matching iron mask to protect the face.

The ghost-like mask, which leaves the necessary breathing holes and holes in the eyes, is beyond the appearance of the demon.

After putting on the mask, the heavy armor of the tiger guard is a living iron-armored ghost, extremely fierce, extremely terrifying, very infiltrating from a distance, without making a sound can achieve the effect of deterring the enemy.

Not to mention the other soldiers, Zhang Liao was also quite surprised when he first learned that such a set of people wore heavy armor that weighed 120 catties.

He tried to wear it once, and found that this set of heavy armor was like a Mount Tai on his body, and it was a little difficult for him to move freely with his physical fitness, and the physical exertion of fighting was huge, let alone others.

It is estimated that only these heavy horsemen who are fed with good food, good food and good meat can wear and fight.

Really, none of the armor worn by the generals was one hundred and twenty catties, and they were not so tightly defended, which made Zhang Liao's eyes hot and he also wanted a set.

Three people are required to put on this suit, and again at least one or two people are required to board the horses that are also heavily armoured.

The horse is covered with iron armor, which can protect the horse's legs, and the horse's head is also covered with iron armor with the same shape, which completely protects the vital part of the horse's head, and the whole horse is a steel monster, which cannot be pierced by arrows or spears.

On the right side of the horse hung a leather pocket with a thick mace and on the left side there was also a leather pocket with three throwing axes for throwing.

The heavy horsemen stepped on their horses and sat on the saddle of Takahashi, steadied themselves, grasped the reins in one hand and stretched out the other.

The two auxiliaries carried a thick spear about a foot long, and the Tiger Guard Heavy Rider reached out and grabbed the spear, held it in his hand, and moved his body again, ready for battle.

With 300 tiger guards and 300 mobile towers, the heavy cavalry and the high-headed horses are like one, which is very visually impactful.

The three hundred men slowly moved forward, and the infantry in front of them gave way to them with awe-inspiring eyes, and they slowly stepped forward, highlighting the military formation, and lined up in front of the Wei army's military formation.

An ancient and practical formation, one of the ten formations listed by Sun Wu in Sun Tzu's Art of War, is a conical formation that breaks the enemy's formation.

As a captain, Wei Yan and several of the bravest soldiers took the lead.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Yu's brows furrowed, looking at this strange cavalry, very puzzled.

This......

This is cavalry?

The ...... they were wearing Mo is not armor?

Horses are also covered in armor?

The weapon he was holding was...... It looks heavy.

What kind of cavalry is this?

This armor is almost completely draped from head to toe, and no matter how light the armor is, it must weigh seventy or eighty pounds, how can they sit firmly on the horse?

If this horse runs, no one shall fall to the ground?

What's the point of such cavalry coming?

Completely pointless, huh?

Zhou Yu was quite puzzled and puzzled, but from a distance, Zhou Yu couldn't figure out what was going on with them.

Wei Yan doesn't care so much, now that he is ready, he has to charge.

As heavy cavalry, this is the first battle, the first real war, for them and for Wei Yan, it is of great significance.

Whether or not they can win will determine whether the heavy cavalry has the value of existence, whether it can continue to exist and expand in size.

Guo Peng told Wei Yan this before he set off.

The money spent by Guo Peng on the creation of this heavy cavalry is enough to build a normal cavalry of 1,000 people, and enough to build an elite infantry army of 3,000 people.

Guo Peng spent so much money, so naturally he wanted to see the effect.

For heavy cavalry, in order to enhance the defense, even the face must be protected, and after wearing a grimace mask, the eyes can be protected, so the field of vision is limited, and the field of vision is very narrow, basically only seeing the front.

Therefore, the charging and fighting method of the heavy armored cavalry is to go forward bravely, rush to the end, turn the horse's head and charge again, and never stop.

The means of attack is to wield weapons in the process of charging, and kill passing enemies with speed, but never stop.

Like ordinary cavalry, the life of cavalry lies in mobility, and the same is true of heavy cavalry, they are used to charge the formation to tear the military formation, and the rest is just handed over to your own military formation.

This is the first time Wei Yan has led the army to fight alone, and it is also the first time that Wei Yan has taken the lead, and Wei Yan is grateful for Guo Peng's trust and reuse, and vows to repay Guo Peng with his achievements.

That's the best reward.

"Rush !!!!!"

Wei Yan shouted loudly, and three hundred heavily armored cavalry formed a cone to break through the enemy formation, and charged under the leadership of Wei Yan.

The horses neighed, carrying the heavy loads on their shoulders and began a heavy charge, while the cavalrymen grabbed their spears and held them steadily, rushing forward with the horses.

In such a formation, from a distance, it looked like a big iron lump rushing towards the Wu army's formation, but because it was too heavy, the sound of the charge and the ground vibration caused by the war horse were also different from ordinary cavalry.

Just 300 people can cause a lot of shock, and even Zhou Yu can feel it.

The cavalry charge in this way made Zhou Yu, who saw him for the first time, not know how to deal with it for a short time.

However, Zhou Yu quickly reacted, waved his hand, and ordered the crossbowmen to release their arrows, and the Wu army crossbowmen immediately released arrows at the three hundred cavalry who were charging, and the crossbows rose into the sky, crossed an arc, and fell straight towards the Wei Yan cavalry who were charging.

The sharp arrows seem to have the strength and courage to break through everything, but ......

In the past, arrows that could easily pierce the flesh of the enemy and take away the enemy's life have failed this time.

There was no doubt that the arrows had hit the enemy, but they bounced off after hitting the enemy, and none of them penetrated into the enemy's body and took the enemy's life, as if it were meaningless, and the cavalry was still charging at high speed!
