Chapter 9: Heavy Cavalry

The Jin Dynasty was able to defeat half of the Great Song Dynasty with a single southern invasion, and it never relied on short-handed foot soldiers.

"Order, let the heavy armored cavalry go up, and give me the Song army that came ashore back into the river!"

Wanyan Zongbi ordered loudly.

Yao Duan, Guan Shigu and several tiger generals under his command advanced forward in a conical shape, and the sharp arrow needle type with three sides as the arrow was still relatively thin, but with the increasing number of Huaixi defenders crossing the river, the cone formation gradually formed a scale. Just when Yao Duan and the others were defeating and retreating the Jin soldiers who were blocking the riverbank, suddenly the Jin soldiers were in a position, and a team of almost a thousand heavy armored cavalry rushed over.

On the high platform on the west bank of the Huai River, Zhang Jun frowned, and secretly said in his heart that it was not good.

The heavily armored cavalry in formation held long lances, and all the horses and soldiers were dressed in iron armor. They lined up like a whole piece of fast-moving man-eating metal, colliding fiercely with the Huaixi defenders crossing the river.

In an instant, the blood wave was flying! The cone array will collapse at the touch of a button!

Several heavy armored cavalry aimed at Huaihua Lang's general Guan Shigu, five horses and five lances, and stabbed out together. Guan Shigu dodged the two horses, and the big knife in his hand cut over the leg of a horse. The other two horsemen could no longer dodge the attack. The three-foot-long lance easily sliced through the thin chain armor that protected his neck, and pierced through it randomly. A waterfall of blood poured out of Guan Shigu's neck, and he unwillingly covered the blood hole in his neck, screaming silently, and then fell softly.

"Lao Guan!"

"General!"

All that answered them was a muffled sound of "poof", and the downed Jin Bing rode up and was particularly unrelieved, and stabbed Guan Shigu in the face with one end of his lance!

In an instant, a huge blood hole was immediately opened in the face of the heavy lance, and the facial features disappeared along with the sound. Guan Shigu's head is like a broken watermelon, which is forever embedded in the land on the east bank of the Huai River.

The heavy cavalry drew out its lance, pulled up the war horse that had lost its owner on the side, and once again entered the Song army.

More than ten minutes have passed since the slaughter, but the efficiency of the heavy cavalry in harvesting lives is still rapid.

On the high platform on the west bank of the Huai River, the atmosphere has become more and more dull and depressing since the death of Guan Shigu. After being harvested several generals in a row, Zhang Jun couldn't hold back anymore and announced that Mingjin would withdraw his troops.

But at this moment, there was an exclamation on both sides of the river at the same time!

"The pontoon is broken!"

In late October, although the Huai River water is not cold and biting, but the people with bare legs have stepped in the river for a long time, and they have already been frozen and started to swing, and the river water washes on the body, like a slow knife cutting flesh. The pontoon bridge on Yao Duan's side was taken care of by heavy crossbows and catapults at the beginning, and the people under the pontoon bridge were directly nailed into the water by the heavy crossbows that were shot through, smashed into meat cakes by flying stones, and squeezed again and again by the heavy cavalry that followed.

Finally, the overwhelmed pontoon bridge and the people broke inexorably from the middle after being hit by Jin Bing's ballista more than a dozen times in a row. The Song army, who had no time to flee back to the west bank, wailed and fell into the water, and were washed downstream with the waves. The Song army, which was left on the east bank, was even more chaotic at this time.

"I can't go back!"

"Help!"

"I'm going home!"

"I surrender, I surrender, don't kill again!"

All kinds of voices filled the east bank of the Huai River, and the face of Huaihua General Yao Duan changed.

Our army is in danger!
