Shi Hu, the commander of the steel front cavalry, although there are only 8,000 people, their treatment and status are exactly the same as those of the Fourth Army, even Shi Hu has obtained the position of commander of the capital that can only be held by high-priced generals, he is only an official of the palace department dispatched by Zhao Zhen, which shows his weight in the eyes of the official.

These 8,000 people are different from other armies, although they belong to Yang Zhongxian, the chief general of the Western Route Army, but they have their own independent combat system, and are different from ordinary forbidden army soldiers, and they are not conscripts, but recruits, there is a big difference between the two.

There are even many people who want to transfer from other armies to the Steelfront Army, but this is not a place to come......

The heavy cavalry is a mobile city in the army, the cavalry is wrapped in thick armor, the cavalry mounts are also heavily armoured, only the horse's calves are exposed, the horse's eyes are also covered with eyecups against bow and arrow design, and the money of equipping a heavy cavalry can even equip a small squad of ratchet crossbowmen or half a squad of cuirassier.

The cavalry armor of the Great Song Dynasty is constantly evolving, in order to facilitate and even have mittens to protect the hands on the cuffs, and then put on a jacket combat uniform outside the tight armor to prevent the iron pieces on the armor from being rusted by the sun and rain, but take off the jacket when fighting.

Eight thousand heavy cavalry armor quickly, years of actual combat and training so that they have summed up a set of effective methods, two by two to cooperate with each other, armor only needs a cup of tea time, the war horse is the first to put on the armor, and then the cavalry wearing plate armor stepped on the saddle on the horse, this is an extremely test of waist strength and technical work, after all, the cavalry ready to go is only the armor on the body has a full sixty pounds.

Fortunately, the war horses of the Great Song Dynasty are all Arab war horses with amazing weight and endurance, when the steel front army got on the horse, a fierce beast-like steel torrent appeared, and the foot soldiers saw the loud applause, and the cheers resounded throughout the battlefield, this is the cavalry belonging to the Great Song Dynasty, this is the power of the Great Song Dynasty, just like the cheers of later generations after seeing the mighty division of their own country.

In terms of equipment, the steel front is slightly different from the back and the white army, they are not only equipped with ratchet crossbows and horse lances, sabers and other standing weapons, but also equipped with an extremely long cavalry spear, it is said that this is the official family once came up with, after a few trials the effect is very good before equipping the steel front army in actual combat, if it achieves good results in actual combat, it will naturally be promoted in all the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty.

This is a wooden spear that accelerates the cavalry in actual combat, causing the mount to charge the enemy at maximum speed, pointing the mounted spear horizontally or nearly horizontally at the enemy when approaching, and using the charge bonus to assassinate the enemy. Of course, because of the huge impact force, the body of the riding gun is generally made of materials with a certain hardness and easy to break in order to protect the knight who uses it, so this thing is disposable, and the user will abandon the gun immediately after the riding gun is broken, and pull out the special saber on the body to kill the enemy.

Of course, not all of these 8,000 people were equipped with this kind of cavalry spear, only 3,000 people were equipped with this extremely long one, and their role was to break the formation and at the same time cause great pressure on the enemy.

The specifications of these riding guns are the same, basically a sharp metal head is installed on the long pole head of about two meters, the hardwood body has a handguard in the grip position, and a wooden cone with a counterweight at the back, so that when the knight on the horse raises the riding gun, he can easily grasp the balance, and some knights will even make a butt hole in the saddle to absorb the huge reaction force of the charge.

All mounted guns are made of wood, and the mounted rifles are used as disposable weapons, because after a single impact, the mounted rifles will almost inevitably break and cannot be used again, and too strong mounted spears will cause unnecessary burdens on the hands and even the body of the horsemen.

The use of this kind of cavalry requires superb horsemanship, which is why the Steel Blade Cavalry is equipped, all of them are the best of the cavalry, and even the ability to step on the white army.

The steel forest of the Great Song army array is dominated by infantry, with Mo Dao as the edge, which is a defense that allows the enemy to passively collide with himself, while the steel forest of the eight thousand steel front cavalry takes the initiative to attack with a thunderous momentum, and the effect is naturally very different.

Eight thousand steel blade iron horsemen held two thousand riding spears and slowly accelerated to give the horses time to adapt, as the speed became faster and faster, the sound made by this cavalry was as thick as rolling thunder, as if the momentum of tens of thousands of people.

When approaching the Western Xia cavalry, the Steel Front Army interpreted what it meant to charge with heavy cavalry!

Two thousand cavalry spears were raised straight, and a large steel jungle turned into hideous spikes, and the movements were uniform and even shocked the defenders of the Gansu military city who were watching. This is an unprecedented heavy cavalry charge in the land of China, the horse's hooves shake the earth, the sand shuttles tremble, and the two-meter-long cavalry spear is densely packed to give people a sense of despair that cannot be avoided and has nowhere to hide.

"Click......" With the sound of the first cavalry gun breaking, the Xixia cavalry was knocked away by the huge impact of the cavalry spear, and fell into the military formation dozens of meters behind in the surprised eyes of others, the sound of the cavalry spear breaking one after another resounded in the sky, and the countless Xixia cavalry in the front row seemed to have been cast witchcraft, and the waves of people rolled or were thrown out, or pierced into the ground.

Another defensive role of the cavalry spear is revealed, because of its two-meter length, it does not need the defense of a shield at all, and at the moment of breaking when it pierces into the enemy line, the Iron Rider discards the gun and draws its sword, and the cold blade slashes at the nearest enemy with lightning speed.

The Tangut people dodged in horror, even if they wanted to fight back, they were shocked by the huge momentum brought by the cavalry, and the Tangut people who were stunned for a while were quickly harvested by the steel front iron cavalry, and the Xixia cavalry killed by the steel front iron cavalry of 8,000 people was terrified, and they were frightened by this steel corps.

Even a sharp long knife is difficult to leave a mark on these people's bodies, at most it is a deep knife mark, but it is impossible to cut through, and even will be stuck in it and killed mercilessly.

When Shi Hu, who was stuck with a long knife on his body and wielded a saber improved from a horizontal knife in his hand, was constantly fighting, his eyes suddenly lit up, he actually killed the military formation of the Tangut people, while the surrounding Tangut people looked at them with frightened eyes.

The Tangut people had to be afraid, these Song people were like monsters coming out of the underworld, it was difficult for the sword to penetrate their armor, despair was the most terrifying thing.

Shi Hu hammered the armor and let out a low roar from his throat: "Wan Sheng! ”

"Wan Sheng!"

All the heavy armored cavalry echoed in unison after hearing it, and rushed forward to start a large arc turn, Wansheng was the signal of the Great Song Dynasty's charge, Shi Hu's military order was very simple, the steel blade iron cavalry was going to charge the Western Xia people again.
