Chapter 228: Hussars Show Might
Luo Hou slashed down with a fierce knife, the head of the puppet Qi army soared into the sky, and under the blood surged, the knight of the puppet Qi army screamed and fell off his horse.
Another puppet Qi knight stabbed in, Luo Hou urged the war horse, flashed a sneak attack, deceived and advanced, had already chopped and grabbed the waist belt of the opposite knight, picked the stirrup with his left foot, and kicked heavily on the puppet Qi knight's horse, the war horse was in pain, neighed and screamed, and threw a few steps away like crazy, and the puppet Qi knight had been pulled from the horse by Luo Hou like this! I don't know where the weapon fell.
Luo Hou grabbed the Liao knight, broke it on the right, and only heard the neck of the sad puppet Qi army knight, "click", this puppet Qi army had broken his neck, and he was killed without a snort.
The hussar soldiers in front of Luo Hou struck the heavy sound of horses' hooves unhurriedly on the thick black ground.
The horses' hooves are marked with jīng shoes. Collide with the rocks on the ground, splashing sparks in patches. Between the light and the extinction of this spark, nearly five hundred horsemen were reflected. These five hundred horsemen were all tall horses, with high shoulders and broad backs, and muscular. Compared to the mounts that are commonly seen for transportation, it is more than a head taller. I don't know how many war horses are carefully selected! These horses are all in armor. Face curtains, chicken necks, chests, horse body armor, back, parasitic, all available.
The nail leaves used in these utensils are also luxuriously cold-forged. The leaves are also covered with terrifying scales. When moving, it is like a fortress of activity. Each complete set of equipment is a weight of 100 catties. Compared with the original Anshi Rebellion, the horse armor used by the heavy cavalry that An Lushan had worked hard to establish was heavier. Naturally, these mounts are also much more majestic and tall than the river meanders that are used in Yokoyama.
In real history, the Tiefutu during the Jurchen heyday was the pinnacle of the heavy cavalry's force. Half of the combat power of this heavy horse is on the war horse, and these majestic dragon horses, with heavy armor and long strength, can repeatedly rush into battle and fight. When the Jurchens were oppressed by the Liao State, the horses used by the Jurchens that grew in extremely cold places were extremely valuable tributes.
And the nearly five hundred divine horses and dragon horses imported by Duan Ming Yuhua at a high price are the best among the war horses.
I saw the horse's face hidden under a rather rough curtain. He spat out a long white gas. The mane was untrimmed, long and messy, dancing in the night wind. Coupled with the cold light of a full set of horse armor in the night, the huge horse's hooves struck a little spark. This scene alone can scare the puppet Qi army on the opposite side, which is full of Qing Yi sè infantry, and they can't afford to resist at all! This kind of combat power is like a tank overwhelmingly killing.
Five hundred heavily armored cavalry, twenty cavalry in a row. More than twenty are lined up. On the banks of the river, which are not very spacious, there are endless possibilities! Not to mention, there are those in armor right away. These nearly 500 armorers, who don't need a lot of water, have already put down their armor at this moment. It's all hideous and terrifying patterns. There are two deep holes in the eyes. Each armor soldier is broad-shouldered and broad-backed, full of murderous aura. The first and second rows of armor were all holding horse lances, clamped under their armpits, and stretched out in layers like hedgehogs.
The rest of the cavalry is also equipped, although it is not so terrifying, but it can be regarded as jīng liang.
or with a long knife or a sword, or with a lacquered spear, a long-handled broadsword, a hammer nail, or a mace. All kinds of horses and heavy troops are available. And they are all heavy, made of good jīng iron. Under the reflection of the firelight, the light of the forest is reversed. In addition to the main blade, each person also carries a bow and arrows.
All the hussars are the elite of Duan Mingyu's troops, and they are also hard bows and strong arrows. The bow pouch is filled with long bows, but they can control shè freely on the horse. Inside the sack, there is a hardcore and barbed jīng iron wolf tooth arrow. Such bows and arrows have the might of a tiger and a wolf within a hundred paces. within this distance. Even the same people in heavy armor as they are standing in the rain of arrows! In addition to bows and arrows, there are also sub-blades of **, most of which are long knives. In fact, it was a fierce cold blade battle. In addition to hammers and maces like iron lumps, swords, spears and the like. The losses are enormous. These armorers were long and short, and they wore at least two knives. There are even four or five handles. As long as you don't suffer serious injuries. Physically exhausted. In the battle array, if you use a broken one, you will replace it immediately, and it will always be like a killing machine with amazing destructive power!
What's more, when the strength is gone, you can also use a cross crossbow that is also not bad in lethality and can fire fifteen arrows in a row.
As soon as the front came into contact with each other, Ge Congzhou's army was immediately defeated, and some jumped directly into the turbulent river, fighting for their lives.
Only a few generals under Ge Congzhou's personal guard led three thousand dead soldiers, which held on for a while, hindering the fierce waves of the hussars for a while.
Ge Congzhou also joined the battle in person, shouting and fighting, and in an instant, he was covered in injuries, but he still did not stop waving his blade.
The hussars didn't have to maintain any formation, and the cavalry that followed the armored charge in front of them kept fighting into the depths of the puppet Qi army. After killing thoroughly, he turned around and came back, ploughed several times, and then turned south, pressing the remnants of the puppet Qi soldiers down the river. The cry sounded from the ground to the sky, and on the riverbank, the two armies of Tang and Qi were completely mixed together, and the blood and water completely dyed the riverbank red, and then slowly flowed into the river, this was no longer a battle, but a complete massacre!
The puppet Qi sergeant was either trampled to death by a war horse on the bank of the river and cut down by the cavalry. Or jump into the turbulent river and float with heavy loads. Their physical strength is about the same, and they have no caloric reserves in their bodies. The icy water of the river was agitated, and it didn't take long for it to struggle. Frozen in the river, swallowed by the rushing water.
The hussar sergeant still refused to give up, on the river bank with a bow and shè, where the arrow rain was splashed, the river water was flooded with wisps of bright red, some hussar knights killed the rise, and even the prancing horse has been dyed red in the shallow water of the riverbank, continue to slash and kill the victorious soldiers who are struggling in the river, they will use this massacre to end the war of the puppet Qi army in Chenzhou!
Luo Hou did not have the slightest intention of gathering his troops and horses, and continued to let his more than 10,000 cavalry troops disperse, massacring the defeated soldiers of the puppet Qi army, and even many of Luo Hou's personal guards could not help but rush up. Seeing that Chenzhou City was burned down to such an appearance, how many Li people were burned alive in the sea of fire, how many families were destroyed, and every hussar sergeant wanted to fight fiercely, so that this puppet Qi army and horses would not survive!
