Chapter Ninety-Two: The Xuanjia Elite Rider

After receiving the information, Gao Shun led 20,000 cavalry to meet Fan Chou's reinforcements.

In the afternoon, spies came to report that they had found traces of enemy troops ahead.

However, Gao Shun did not immediately attack.

The purpose of this mission is twofold, one is to defeat Fan Chou's support army, and the other is to test the actual combat ability of the new army's "Xuanjia Elite Cavalry".

Although he really wanted to let the Xuanjia Elite Cavalry go out now, so that this Xuanjia Elite Cavalry, which was several times more expensive than the trapped camp, could immediately show his strength, but he couldn't be too blind and arrogant.

When evening came, the enemy began to stop marching and prepare to be stationed to rest, and this was the time for Gao Shun to act.

"Candidate, Yang Qiu, you two lead the Iron Eagle cavalry to attack."

Seeing that the enemy army had already set up half of the camp, Gao Shun ordered.

"Yes."

Candidate, Yang Qiu said in unison.

Then there was a unit in the army behind Gao Shun that slowly left, and they were Qin Hua's early ace cavalry, the "Iron Eagle Cavalry".

The development direction of the Iron Eagle Cavalry is the archers, as there are more and more cavalry units under Qin Hua, these will generally be decorated with eagle feathers on both sides of their helmets, so as to distinguish them from other cavalry, after all, Qin Hua's military uniforms are basically black, and they want to create their own characteristics.

Beside the Iron Eagle Cavalry are ordinary cavalry of 10,000 people, and their equipment is indeed similar to that of the Iron Eagle Cavalry, of course, this refers to the color, and the style of the armor is still different.

The Iron Eagle Cavalry is mainly based on leather armor and chain mail, and the mounts are only protected by leather armor, and iron armor rarely appears, which is to maximize their mobility ability.

Ordinary cavalry has iron armor, although there are not many iron armor, which is mainly to consider the cost of construction.

For example, many of the cavalry of other forces do not even have iron armor, otherwise the cost of military expenses is too great.

Behind those ordinary cavalry was a black cavalry force that came more than all the other cavalry.

Not only did they have iron armor, but even the important troops of their mounts were surrounded by iron armor, and on closer inspection, this cavalry unit looked a little taller than ordinary cavalry, both the knights and the mounts above.

This is the Xuanjia Jingqi that Qin Hua worked hard to squeeze out funds from all over the Liangzhou finances.

The Xuanjia Elite Cavalry is between the heavy cavalry and the light cavalry, but because their armor is customized, the protection ability is not under the heavy cavalry.

Moreover, their knight spears were also specially made, much longer than ordinary spears, in order to facilitate surprise charges.

In fact, Qin Hua wanted to match them with the horse lance that was popular in the Sui and Tang dynasties, but the cost of the horse lance was even higher, and it needed to be made in years, so he could only settle for the second.

In addition, they thought that there was also a knight's shield nearly one meter long, and if they encountered the opponent's rain of arrows, they could raise their shields to defend against arrows to the greatest extent.

This looks a bit like the knights of the Western Middle Ages, but whether it is armor or knight guns, the Darkarmor Elite Rider is much more agile than the bulky European medieval knights.

In addition to the above equipment, the Xuanjia Spirit Rider is also equipped with a long sword and a hand crossbow.

It was impossible for them to ask them to conduct mounted archery training when they were training heavy cavalry, so Qin Hua equipped them with a hand crossbow, so that they could also have a certain long-range combat ability, and the hand crossbow was simple to operate, which was much more defensive than a bow and arrow.

As for the long sword, it goes without saying, this is for them to use in close combat.

When he originally designed the Xuanjia Elite Cavalry, Qin Hua wanted to build him into a special unit that has always been comprehensive in both cavalry and foot combat, and it can also be called the first special force in the true sense of this era.

"Rest here for the night today, and be sure to meet General Fan Chou tomorrow."

Wang Bo ordered loudly while checking the construction of the tent.

His original plan was to rush overnight, but all the way from Emperor Xiandi and Emperor Xian, the soldiers were indeed a little unbearable, so Wang Bo decided to rest for a good night.

Because it is possible to come into contact with the enemy army at any time after that, it is still necessary to keep the soldiers full of physical strength.

"Boom, boom~~~"

In the distance, Wang Bo felt a slight vibration, this was a cavalry killing him.

"Enemy attack, the whole army fights."

Soon, the gong in the army began to sound, and the soldiers who had already set up their tents and entered to rest in them hurriedly put on their armor and walked out.

"Pikemen, arrays, archers quickly assemble the team."

Compared to the archers, the pikemen that Wang Bo used to guard quickly lined up in formation.

Because it is a temporary camp, not only is there no wooden fence around the camp, but there is no defense against horses or anything, so now we can only use spear arrays instead of horses.

It's just that what Wang Bo didn't expect was that the strange cavalry with bird feathers on the side of the helmet in front of him did not directly rush into the position, and when they were about to make contact, they suddenly split into two and turned at an angle of nearly ninety degrees to both sides.

Suddenly, Wang Bo's face changed, because he saw that the knights of the army in front of him were all holding longbows.

"Damn, it's the archers."

Before Wang Bo's curse was finished, a round of fire from the Iron Eagle Cavalry flew over.

"Raise your shield, raise your shield."

Because this army was the original Dong Zhuo's troops, plus Dong Zhuo incorporated the Northern Army of the Han Dynasty and obtained the armaments of the Northern Army, they had a considerable number of shields.

You must know that it is impossible for ordinary troops to waste so many materials to make shields.

However, it is impossible to stop all the arrows, and from time to time someone will fall to the ground after being hit by an arrow.

But that wasn't the end of it, as the second round of arrows from the Iron Eagle Cavalry flew again.

With the first experience, the arrows dealt much less damage this time.

However, Wang Bo found that the enemy had switched targets, and their target was the archers in the middle of his army.

For the archers, the threat of the archer troops was much stronger than that of other troops.

So the target of this Iron Eagle cavalry is the archers.

"Sword and shield soldiers, go and protect the archer troops."

Wang Bo shouted angrily.

Then he shouted in the direction of the archers: "Shoot back, shoot back." ”

The losses of the archers, who were so cared for by the Iron Eagle Cavalry, were still mounting, and they were unable to form an effective counterattack under the arrows of the opponent until the arrival of the Sword and Shield troops.

With swords and shields to defend them against arrows, these archers finally formed a massive counterattack.

In a moment, many Iron Eagle cavalry fell to the ground, but it was obvious that Wang Bo's damage was much higher than that of the Iron Eagle cavalry.

The Iron Eagle cavalry split in two from the front of Wang Bo's army, firing along his station, and soon came to their north.

I thought that they would leave after meeting at the back, but what I didn't expect was that these cavalrymen actually staggered face to face without the slightest collision.

"It's so much in control."

Wang Bo couldn't help but sigh, it was the first time he had seen such a situation, and he could actually train cavalry to this extent.

It is not difficult to train a knight alone, or even to the point of being very powerful, but it is not something that ordinary people can do to make a cavalry unit move like a finger.

The two troops that had staggered by moved along the perimeter of Wang Bo's army again, and from time to time arrows flew in, taking countless lives with them.

"Damn, I'm."

The other party actually played himself like this, which made Wang Bo very angry.

"The spearmen move, form a formation, and stop them."

After Wang Bo finished speaking, the spearmen on the periphery began to move, as if a circle suddenly broke off from both sides, and then began to counter-encircle the Iron Eagle cavalry.

"Turn" candidate and Yang Qiu ordered at the same time.

Then the two of them led the way along the slowly unfolding spearmen to the side, avoiding a direct collision with them.

"Bullying me for not having cavalry?"

Seeing that his infantry unit had no way to take this cavalry, Wang Bo immediately ordered the cavalry in the army to set off.

Wang Bo now had 6,000 cavalry under his command, and they had also completed their preparations for departure during the time when the Iron Eagle cavalry came to attack.

At this time, the bow and arrow troops under the protection of the sword and shield soldiers also began to exert their strength, and the Iron Eagle Knights fell from their horses from time to time.

"Withdraw."

The two candidates were also not in love with the war, and immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops.

At this time, the two scattered troops circled along Wang Bo's station, and then met at the original place.

They ignored Wang Bojun who was shouting behind them, and walked in the direction they came from without looking back.

"I want to leave if I take advantage, and I must let you know how good I am today."

After saying that, Wang Bo also mounted his mount, and when he was about to attack, his cavalry also rushed out of the garrison and chased towards the Iron Eagle cavalry.

"When the whole army attacks, this little force will dare to come, and when my cavalry drags them out, we will take them all in one fell swoop."

Under the leadership of Wang Bo, the infantry in the garrison began to move.

The cavalry unit that had gone ahead to chase the Iron Eagle Cavalry found itself as if it were getting farther and farther away from the enemy in front of them.

Just as Li Hun, the commander of the cavalry, was about to give the order to stop and withdraw his troops to return, he found that the army in front of him suddenly scattered to both sides again.

The sun is setting and the night is covering the land.

When they were completely dispersed, Li Hun suddenly found that an all-black cavalry unit appeared in front of him, because it was wrapped in pitch-black armor, this cavalry seemed to be completely black.

As night approached, they appeared in front of Li Hun like ghosts.

Unlike the previous archers, this cavalry did not hold a bow, I don't know if it was his own mistake, Li Hun found that this cavalry unit seemed to be one size bigger than the one just now, which made them look more imposing.

Li Hun has many years of experience in the army, and the army in front of him is not easy to mess with.

But before it was his turn to react, the two armies had already come into contact.

Originally, Li Hun was going to take a look at the results of the battle and then decide to stay, but what he never expected was that the vanguard in front of him would be destroyed and broken.

After their own contact with this dark cavalry, very few of them survived, but the other side did not seem to suffer any casualties.

"Am I dazzled, why didn't I see a black-armored knight to the ground?"

Li Hun asked the adjutant general beside him in disbelief.

"General, so am I, let's withdraw."

The adjutant general's eyes were wide open, and what he saw was like Li Hun.
