Chapter 891: You have the heavy cavalry that breaks the formation, and I have the famous general who breaks the heavy cavalry

The Iron Harrier Army, which swept towards the Song army's large array like a raging wave of a broken embankment, let out a terrible roar again, and the tricks exposed between the iron helmets covering their heads exuded a scorching killing intent. Although the army of the Song army in front of him was stubbornly resistant, there was a hideous smile on the faces of the heavily armored knights who were extremely good at destroying the formation under the iron helmet.

They have experienced too much of this situation, before this Iron Harrier Heavy Cavalry under the accurate judgment of the famous general Cha Ge, has broken up the Song army's large array countless times, those Song troops often did not wait for the heavy cavalry to rush into the formation, they were shocked by the Iron Harrier's powerful impact and the lineup was chaotic, even if there was a situation of defending the array, but what use could it be to resist the Iron Harrier's momentum like a mountain and a tsunami? No matter how fierce you are not afraid of death, you will be knocked over and trampled under the rolling iron horse without exception, how can there be any exception now?

As long as the army formation is torn apart and completely dispersed, then a fiasco is inevitable, and the enemy army is surrounded by countless horse infantry troops on their own side, and this war will become a one-sided massacre!!

"Kill !!" The spears in the hands of the heavy cavalry in the front row of the Iron Harrier Army were raised in unison, and countless cold and sharp spear tips cut through the cold wind, and they were about to penetrate the bodies of the Song Army spearmen in front of them, and hundreds of high-headed horses wearing heavy armor let out a roaring sound, and they were about to knock over the bodies of those enemy soldiers in front of them, and trample those who would eventually be trampled under the iron hooves into flesh!

And at this time, the rows of Song Army spearmen who had to bear the brunt of the heavy cavalry impact began to retreat, which seemed to the Iron Harrier Army that the Song dogs were really afraid of the cold, but how could a two-legged one run over four legs? Letting you run away for your life will only make it easier for me to wait for the slaughter, but the fight is not cool enough!

However, they were galloping wildly, and they saw that they were about to rush into the heavy cavalry of the Song army under Xiao Tang's headquarters, and some people found that these Song troops retreated at the same pace, and they did not seem to be frightened and just looked for their way to escape like headless flies.

In an instant, while the spearmen of the Song army retreated in line, there were teams of infantry soldiers rushing up, they did not advance but retreated, and even brandished their weapons and rushed towards the extremely fierce Iron Harrier Army!

Are these Song dogs crazy?

Some of the unabated Iron Harrier soldiers were a little surprised, but they also noticed that the blades in the hands of these enemy soldiers were not the spears, waist knives and other weapons equipped by ordinary Song army foot soldiers, but a long and wide steel knife placed on the wooden handle, which turned out to be the simple knife that was often used by the powerful and powerful people in the Song and Xia realms.

Those Song soldiers with Pu knives in their hands roared angrily, and each of them was determined to fight to the death, focusing on attacking the two wings of the Iron Harrier's front heavy cavalry. Seeing that the ironclad heavy cavalry was about to knock them over, they did not attack the knight on horseback, but picked up the sword and slashed at the hooves of the iron harrier's warhorse!

Pu knife, as the most commonly used weapon in the rivers and lakes in today's season, can hold the handle of the knife with both hands when used, and use the blade and inertia to kill the enemy with the same moves as a long-handled broadsword, although strictly speaking, the weapon with the blade placed on the wooden pole will also be classified as a short weapon, but it is not much shorter than the ordinary long-pole broadsword, and the appearance is similar to the broadsword, but the proportion of the blade is much higher.

However, this kind of blade, which was the most common in the Song Dynasty, was not recorded in the "Wujing General Essentials" into the eight most commonly used knives in the army, such as the drop knife, the bending knife, the moon covering knife, and the halberd knife, because the generals in the ordinary regular army would not regard it as a real weapon. It's just circulated among the people, and it's a crude weapon that is difficult to get into the hall of elegance. It is because in the water margin like Song Jiang, Shi Jin, Liu Tang, Li Kui and other low-level officials, reckless and heroic when walking the rivers and lakes, they usually carry a Pu knife by their side, and among the characters from the regular army generals, there are only those who are desperate and go to Liangshan to fall into the grass, and Yang Zhi, who lost Huashigang and fled to take refuge elsewhere, a pair of hard-working men who were originally sent by the army are just low-level officers, and have made Pu Dao fight.

However, Xiao Tang thought that he would eventually face the iron harrier heavy cavalry that Xia Jun had always relied on on the battlefield, and under the current limited conditions, the only way he could think of to deal with it was to use this kind of unremarkable Jianghu weapon.

Previously, when Wu Jue admonished that he was collecting grain and grass in the nearby state capitals and counties before rerouting and leading the army to aid Liu Fa, Xiao Tang moved more thoughts, and instructed Wu Jue to send his military officials to collect a large number of Pu knives from the officials of the local militia volunteer societies and county village inspection departments at the same time. And the workmanship is very crude, because the pole in the hand is larger and the knife is very short and not conducive to riding a horse to fight, can only be used to fight on foot, that is, the "Wujing General Essentials" has not been recorded, it is to the ordinary state capital, county and town for the people to hold these weapons open one eye, close one eye, especially in the northwest border adjacent to the Xia State, the folk customs are fierce, and even the local government and military villages also encourage the people to be strong and brave to equip a large number of Pu knives, which is conducive to self-protection when the party departments commit crimes.

In addition, Li Xiaozhong, a local Jianghu hero, also rushed to ask for help, and now that the country is in war, all the bloody militia townsmen and local bigwigs heard that the army recruited Pu Dao was of great use, and they were also willing to respond, because Xiao Tang sent his subordinates to collect grain and grass at the same time, and obtained a large number of these weapons with poor workmanship and low price in a short period of time.

As for why Xiao Tang regarded this simple Jianghu weapon as a very likely way to deal with the killer iron harrier of the Xia army, it was also because he thought of the weapon of the Great Song army in the Southern Song Dynasty, which was mainly used to cut off the calves of war horses and specifically deal with the heavy cavalry of the Jin army.

The appearance of the hemp knife is very similar to the Pu knife, but the Pu knife is usually made by the folk blacksmith, and even some people in the rivers and lakes will tie the steel blade on the wooden pole to make the Pu knife to use, it is a variety of Pu knife texture The workmanship is uneven, and naturally it is not as good as the workshop under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Ordnance Institute of the Ministry of Industry of the Great Song Dynasty and the Ordnance Supervision to make the Mazha knife. However, even if Xiao Tang still has the hook and sickle spear of the golden gun general Xu Ningshan in the soldiers and horses in the green forest, as well as the five hundred Mo knife battalion and other ordnance can be equipped in the army, as a good way to restrain the iron harriers of the Xia army, but far water can't quench the thirst of the near, Xiao Tang has no way to transfer the green forest soldiers and horses under his command to deal with the battle of the Song and Xia kingdoms in front of him, so he has to rush to power.

Although the generals under his command can very well understand the terrifying impact and power of the Xia Army's Iron Harrier, and they have rich experience in battle formations, they can also understand why Xiao Tang would order some infantry troops to change the Pu Sword as the main battle weapon at this juncture, but in the battle of real swords and real guns, it is not that they are not afraid of death to be able to maximize the effect of this weapon against the enemy's ironclad heavy cavalry. How to deploy the main general, and how to command the Pu Dao army under his command to resist and curb the momentum of the enemy's heavy cavalry is the most critical, but now there is no condition for the generals under Xiao Tang's command to conduct actual combat drills, and the generals of Xiao Tang's department must also understand how to send troops to deploy in a limited time, so as to stop the enemy heavy cavalry in front of him from overwhelming their own military formation.

And Xiao Tang is very convinced that among the many famous generals under his command, Liu Qi is the most suitable person to command the infantry army equipped with Pu Dao to contain the impact, on the way to reroute to help Liu Fa, Xiao Tang has also talked to Liu Qi in detail about the assembly of the Xia army, I am afraid that his own soldiers and horses will eventually face the iron harrier heavy cavalry in the enemy's famous border court, and how to deal with it will be discussed in detail, because Xiao Tang is also very clear:

After all, Liu Qi also annihilated the enemy's most elite heavy cavalry unit in history, and he really deserves to be a famous general of the Jin Army who can teach that no matter how famous and combat power is higher than the Western Xia Iron Harrier, Tiefutu also defeated his generation of famous generals!
