Chapter 609: Collision
Although the Liao people could not attack the city, they did not lose to anyone at all in the plains, especially in the place of Pingchuan, the superb horse kung fu of the Liao cavalry could make them invincible.
Zhao Zhen was actually very anxious, the speed of the Great Song cavalry at this time had been slowed down by these scattered Liao troops, and the speed of the Great Song cavalry had been very fast since they left the city, because the escape speed of the Liao people was very fast......
But when they encountered the follow-up soldiers, they began to squeeze together, which made the speed of the Great Song cavalry sprint all used on their bodies, the horses of the Great Song Dynasty were Arab war horses, and they were not good at short-distance sprints, and they could only increase their speed by running for a certain distance, and the equipment on the Great Song cavalry was heavy, and even the horses were covered with vests!
Once the speed is not enough, the speed of the sprint will be a little slower than the war horse of the Liao, and the gap in this point will also make the Great Song Dynasty suffer.
The situation between Song and Liao has changed, the Song people have become the attackers, while the Liao people need to defend, the momentum of the Great Song Dynasty is high and the momentum of the Liao people is weak, which is the reason why Yelu Zong really does not lead his troops to attack.
The whining horn sounded, this is a common warning in the Great Liao, and it also means that anyone who stands in front of the Great Liao army formation will be regarded as an enemy army!
The rout of the Liao Dynasty quickly fled to both sides, they didn't want to be killed by their own crossbow arrows, and the obstacles in front of the original Great Song cavalry disappeared, which made Zhao Zhen's eyes light up, although he couldn't communicate with Di Qing on the chaotic battlefield, but with Di Qing's intelligence, of course he knew what it meant.
Sure enough, the unique copper whistle in the Great Song Army sounded rhythmically again, and it sounded one after another, and each commander had to repeat it after hearing the whistle, so the sharp whistle soon resounded through the army, Zhao Zhen suddenly felt that the speed of the surrounding cavalry was raised, and the speed of the entire army began to improve crazily.
This is a crooked fight, the Great Song Dynasty needs to accelerate the space of the cavalry, and the Liao people need a relatively safe battlefield, so the Great Song cavalry began to accelerate the sprint in the open area, the horse first moved the four hooves briskly, and gradually the speed became faster and faster, with the horse armor and fully armed knights rushed to the Liao army.
Zhao Zhen rode on a horse, and when he was beside him, he was armed with the plate armor cavalry with teeth, and through the gap in the armor, he saw the excitement of the veterans of the Guards Division, as well as Peng Qi's fear, at this time Zhao Zhen felt that his blood seemed to be burning, and the original regret had been thrown out of the clouds.
Tens of thousands of heavy armored cavalry followed their own impact battle, the rolling iron flow was unstoppable, as if the mountains could not be stopped, the heavy armor collided at this time is the most beautiful note, the army of the Great Song Dynasty is rushing towards the Liao people with an unstoppable momentum.
Gradually, the sound of horses' hooves became louder and louder, and the momentum of this cavalry charge had made the Liao people who were waiting for the battle pale, not that they had not experienced this, but that this kind of landslide scene was too terrifying.
They, no...... There are very few heavy cavalry in Chinese history, not to mention that the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty are all knights wearing plate armor, and this kind of armor covering the entire body is also the first time that it has appeared on the land of China.
The Liao people have never seen this kind of posture, even the war horses of the Great Song Dynasty are something they have never seen, and they have never heard that there are war horses that will run faster and faster, and the more they run, the more stable they are. The mighty Arabian warhorse is known for its endurance and speed, and the only fly in the ointment is the sprint speed.
Now the Liao people gave the Great Song enough distance to sprint, so an army of annihilation showed its hideousness in front of the world for the first time.
After entering the firing range, the Liao people's military array also appeared a rain of arrows, and the black pressure was like the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty covering it, and the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty did not hesitate, and quickly took out the shield from the back to cover it head-on, which was to prevent the arrows from penetrating into the gaps in the armor.
But there are always some unlucky people who, despite their plate armor and shields, still have their crossbow arrows tied to their bodies or pierced into the eyes of their horses...... So these people are equivalent to dead people, and the army charge basically will not care about him, because once he goes to the rescue, it means that more people will die.
The crossbow arrows of the Liao people only had time to shoot three waves and did not have a chance to shoot arrows again, because the Great Song cavalry had already rushed in front of them, and the Liao army at this time put away their bows and crossbows and charged forward in the sound of horns, especially Yelu Zongzhen, who looked at the rushing Great Song Iron Cavalry not only was not afraid, but also showed excited eyes.
Although the Great Liao does not have such an iron cavalry, if it is defeated, how much glory the soldiers will be, the Liao people will become the most powerful existence in heaven and earth, and these armors of the Song people will be cheaper.
His idea was too arrogant, and at this time, Xiao Hui was already staring at the Song Army's iron weapons with an ugly face, and quietly glanced at his own soldiers: "If you are not defeated later, protect Your Majesty!" ”
The emperors of the Song and Liao countries were protected by their own armies in the Chinese army, no matter how the army moved, this would not change, in case of disadvantage, they could evacuate with their own emperors as quickly as possible.
In the face of the Song army like a torrent of steel, just like Xiao Hui, who has experienced a hundred battles, is a little stunned, the momentum of the Song army's iron cavalry alone is so amazing, Xiao Hui, who has been working the battlefield for many years, only glanced at it and knew that the reason why the Great Song cavalry can have such momentum is inseparable from the equipment on their bodies, they should all be heavily armoured, and the strength and speed of the horses are amazing.
These two points alone made Da Liao suffer, if it was hard to fight, it would definitely not be the opponent of the Great Song cavalry, but at this time the rout was still being gathered, if it was not hard to fight, Da Liao would lose more soldiers, which is now Da Liao can't afford to lose!
The war is so cruel, sometimes knowing that the enemy is invincible, he still has to go up hard, Xiao Hui is a little resentful of Zhang Jian at this time, the so-called intelligence has not been accurate once when it reaches the body of the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise it will not make the 200,000 troops of the Great Liao fight less and less, and become what it is today.
Xiao Hui rushed forward with a jolt on his horse, and at this time the cavalry of the Great Liao was about to charge and accelerate, the Liao people were good at fighting on horseback, and it was most advantageous for them to know how far away to start sprinting.
Even in the face of the Great Song cavalry armed to the teeth, the Liao Dynasty was not unable to fight, the leather room army, the palace division army, and the Luduo army, which one was not a brave and warlike army? That one is not a witness to the glory of Da Liao?
The people on the horses showed their instinctive talent for horsemanship, and they grew up on horseback, and they walked on the ground on horseback, and they were quite skillful in the use of various weapons, and they turned and moved on their horses.
On the one hand, there is a technical advantage, and on the other hand, there is an equipment advantage, and the two units with very different styles collide together.
