Chapter 760: The Heavy Armored Cavalry Rises Again
It has been another five days since the defeat of Gongsun Sheng.
In the past five days, Zhao Hui has also been attacking Liaodong City every day.
The head of the city in Liaodong has been smashed into potholes.
However, if you want to smash the city wall, you don't know what year and month it will take.
After all, it's just stones, not artillery.
And the city walls of Liaodong City, after Liu Yu repaired, became more solid.
"Lord, in the northeast, five hundred miles away, there is a Goguryeo army and horses."
Gongsun Yuan's service is only within the range of 100 miles and 200 miles in Liaodong.
But Zhao Hui's scouts and the scope of exploration have been expanded to five hundred miles.
This Goguryeo army was invited by Gongsun Gong, and there were about 10,000 people.
Although there were not many of them, they were all cavalry.
They are here to support Gongsun Yuan, not to attack the city.
Cavalry is a stronger deterrent to Zhao Hui's army.
Five hundred miles, for the cavalry of Goguryeo, it can be reached in two days.
It's just that they thought they could deter Zhao Hui, and even with 10,000 cavalry, they defeated Zhao Hui's army of 50,000.
But he didn't know that Goguryeo sent cavalry to support Zhao Hui, which was in Zhao Hui's arms.
Now, not to mention the Great Han, the whole world, Zhao Hui's cavalry is the most powerful.
Whether it is Karasuma Xianbei or the cavalry of the Huns, they are no longer Zhao Hui's cavalry opponents.
Not to mention Goguryeo.
Although Goguryeo had cavalry, they were no longer pure steppe tribes, and they had already begun to build city walls.
Their cavalry, at most, is on the same level as the Karasuma cavalry.
When Zhao Hui received the news, the uncle and nephew of Gongsun Yuan in the city also received the news.
The 30,000 army in Gongsun Sheng's hands was annihilated, which really cast a shadow on Gongsun Yuan's head.
But at this moment, knowing that Goguryeo had sent troops, and it was still 10,000 cavalry, Gongsun Yuan was very determined.
10,000 cavalry, enough to threaten 50,000 infantry.
In Gongsun Yuan's eyes, the deterrent power of these 10,000 Goguryeo cavalry is greater than the 30,000 army in Gongsun Sheng's hands, and the combat power is also stronger.
With the help of Goguryeo's 10,000 cavalry, he even had the confidence to go out of the city and fight Zhao Hui.
Over the years, the Gongsun family has been in Goguryeo, and their eyes are only on the area of Liaodong.
There is a lot less attention to the land of the Central Plains.
They only knew that Zhao Hui had defeated Yuan Shao and occupied Jizhou.
But they didn't know that the cavalry in Zhao Hui's hands was even more terrifying than they imagined.
"Evil, you will lead two thousand heavy armored cavalry to give Goguryeo a head-on blow, and you must completely annihilate the Goguryeo cavalry." Zhao Hui said.
Since the Gongsun family and Goguryeo were allied, how could Zhao Hui be defenseless.
When Zhao Hui came to Liaodong this time, he didn't have many cavalry in his hands, just 2,000 heavy armored cavalry.
After all, the main task is to attack Liaodong City.
Although the heavy cavalry is very powerful, it is basically useless in siege warfare.
But at this moment, it is enough to deal with the 10,000 cavalry of Goguryeo.
Dian Wei took the order and set off.
With the information of the scouts, he was not afraid that he would miss it with the Goguryeo cavalry.
The two thousand heavily armored cavalry were still ridden by one man and two horses, and when there was no battle, the armor was carried by another war horse.
When the enemy is spotted and ready for battle, the 2,000 cavalry will put on heavy armor.
Wrap your whole body tightly, except for one pair of eyes.
Dian Wei's 2,000 cavalry was also discovered when they were 100 miles away from the Goguryeo cavalry.
But the 10,000 Goguryeo cavalry didn't care.
Instead, they laughed, but it was just two thousand cavalry, and it was also the cavalry of the Han Dynasty, they had nothing to fear, just wiped out these two thousand cavalry, and then they went to Liaodong to see Gongsun Gong, so that Gongsun Gong was taking out a little benefit.
These 10,000 Goguryeo cavalry, from the commander to every cavalry below, were full of confidence.
As for the impression of the big man, they are still stuck in a few years, or even more than ten years ago.
But he didn't know that Zhao Hui not only had such sharp weapons as heavy armored cavalry in his hands, but also because of the popularity of saddle stirrups, the Han cavalry could also exert its strongest strength on horseback.
It's no longer the scum cavalry that would easily fall off horseback.
It's just the cavalry of Goguryeo, but they ignore an important issue.
The 2,000 cavalry led by Dian Wei had 4,000 horses.
Both sides already know the position of the other, and both sides are full of confidence, naturally they will not change direction, and they are both moving along the straightest path.
A hundred miles, for a cavalry, is only an hour's time.
The two sides are moving in the same direction, and this time is even shorter.
In just half an hour, the distance between the two sides had already been reduced to ten miles.
Dian Wei had already given the order to stop advancing, and everyone dismounted, removed the heavy armor from the horses behind them, and put them on the spot.
These heavy armors weigh two hundred pounds, and although the protection ability is the first, they are also more troublesome to wear than ordinary armor.
The two thousand cavalrymen were accustomed to it, and they moved skillfully, and one by one the armor was removed, and then one part at a time, they were put on their bodies.
But it also took the time of a cup of tea.
By the time they were dressed, they could already hear the hooves of the Goguryeo cavalry.
"Get on the horse!"
Dian Wei ordered.
So, when 10,000 Goguryeo cavalry appeared, they saw 2,000 still cavalry.
"Kill!"
There was no hesitation.
"The cavalry of the Han people really couldn't do it, and they actually stopped there and didn't move."
Everyone knows that cavalry has to rush up in order to exert its maximum power.
If the horses are all stationary, what is the difference between them and the infantry.
The cavalry of Goguryeo were all laughing.
Think it's a must-win battle, and there's absolutely no suspense at all.
They were just in the sprint, but they didn't notice that the two thousand cavalry in front of them didn't panic a little when they saw them.
The distance between the two sides is constantly narrowing.
The Goguryeo cavalry could already see the appearance of 2,000 heavily armored cavalry.
"What's on them?"
It's just that they haven't figured it out yet, and Dian Wei has already given an order.
Two thousand heavily armored cavalry finally moved.
The screams were incessant, echoing across the grassland.
"What is this?"
"Why is it completely useless to slash at them with a sword?"
In just an instant, 10,000 Goguryeo did not have the arrogance they had begun.
The sinister smile on their faces had now been replaced by fear.
"What kind of devil is this?"
"You can't kill it."
Obviously, a knife was slashed at the other party, but the other party didn't have anything to do.
"Run."
It was just a cup of tea, and 10,000 Goguryeo cavalry collapsed.
They began to turn and run away.
It was indeed a battle with no suspense at all.
In the sudden encounter with the heavy cavalry, in the first encounter with the heavy cavalry, no one was able to defeat them.
The heavy cavalry was not without weaknesses.
But now, in the face of the slaughter of the 10,000 Goguryeo cavalry, no one will think about what the weakness of the heavy cavalry is.
They only know that their attacks are completely useless.
If you don't run, you'll only be killed.
So they ran.
It's just to support the Gongsun family, and no one wants to fight to the death.
