Luckily, the force of this arrow was already very weak, and although it entered his right eye, it didn't penetrate much deeper!

The armor of the Tang Army, regardless of whether it is full-body armor or half-body armor or cuirass, will be equipped with helmets, but according to different types of troops, the helmets are also different.

The best thing is naturally a helmet that matches the whole body armor, almost the entire head is wrapped, and it is directly attached to the cuirass, which can protect the neck.

The face is protected by a mask, which is not made of wire, but is directly stamped into a single piece of iron plate, leaving small holes in the mouth and nostrils for breathing, and at the same time leaving relatively large holes in the eye sockets to gain sight.

It's a mask, but it's actually more of a mask, a steel mask.

The helmet that goes with the cuirass is a normal helmet and usually does not have a mask.

However, even if it is a full-body armor or a half-body armor mask, its protective ability can only be regarded as average compared to other parts, and if the enemy does not dodge it in time, it will often be damaged if it is unable to withstand the force, resulting in death and injury.

At the same time, in order to get the line of sight, the front of the cavalry's helmet is in the form of a mask, which needs to leave a hole for the eyes, and the connecting parts of some joints are also relatively weak.

These defects are also the part that the enemy likes to hit the most when the two sides are in close hand-to-hand combat, and many elite soldiers, in the face of these enemies wearing full body armor, either use heavy weapons to directly smash people, or use short knives and short swords, directly close to the body and insert them through these small gaps.

But with arrows, there is usually no way to target these weak parts!

And Liao Qiangbin was very unlucky, an arrow shot by a Tatar was impartial, and it was directly inserted into his right eye through the gap in the eye socket of the mask!

Even Liao Qiangbin is already a veteran, he has been in the army for seven or eight years, and he has suffered some injuries before, but his eye was shot and wounded, but this is the first time, and he can't continue to maintain his body under the severe pain.

If you fall to the ground, it will be worse than an arrow in the eye, and one will be trampled to death by the horse's hooves if you are not careful.

But even so, he could not continue to command the battle, lying on his horse, he continued to let out a miserable scream, and an adjutant beside him looked at his commander, showing a hint of lamentation, but soon he looked up, and soon saw the deputy commander not far away.

He immediately instructed the standard-bearers beside him to continue to lead the flag along the inherent charging route, while he himself rode his horse and ran quickly, and soon found the deputy commander.

He also told the regiment commander that he could no longer shoulder the heavy responsibility of commanding, and that the deputy commander of the 6th Cuirassier Regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Ying Pingdong, was also a veteran cavalry general.

Looking at the situation ahead, he just knew that it was time for him to stand up and take responsibility.

He immediately rode forward, and then officially took over the command of the 6th Cuirassier Regiment and led the cavalry to continue the charge.

And Colonel Liao Qiangbin, the commander of the 6th Cuirassier Regiment, was still lying on horseback at this time, his face was covered with blood, although he did not scream like before, but he still continued to moan.

At this time, although he was injured, he could not stop for treatment, because at this moment, the most fierce charging battle between the two sides was breaking out, and this stop was waiting for death.

There's not much time or space for them to heal slowly.

The charge of the 6th Cuirassier Regiment was not affected in the slightest because their regimental commander was wounded, in fact, many people on the battlefield, even the cavalry of the 6th Cuiraceur Regiment, did not know that their regimental commander had been wounded.

On the battlefield, it was too chaotic, the soldiers were focused on the battle in front of them, how could they have time to pay attention to what was going on with their commanders, as long as the command flag did not fall, they would follow the command flag.

The 6th Cuirassier Regiment continued to take advantage of its heavy armor and rushed towards a force of Tatar cavalry in front, but naturally there was no surprise, and they successfully fought their way out of the heavy armor, leading the remaining 1st and 5th Cavalry Divisions and other troops to continue to rush in the northwest direction.

The Sixth Cuirassier Regiment, which is positioned as a spearhead, is only responsible for tearing apart a point of the Tatar formation, the strength is very concentrated, and its battlefield is not large, so the enemy cavalry that really kills and wounds is actually not much, and the First Cavalry Division and the Fifth Cavalry Division in the rear, these two troops are on the left and right sides of the following, are responsible for expanding the gap front, relatively speaking, they encounter more enemies, and because these enemies have been rushed through by the Sixth Cuirassier Regiment, after the enemy's formation is disrupted, They are also able to kill enemies more easily

As a result, these two cavalry divisions killed and wounded a little more of the enemy.

As for the multiple independent cavalry regiments that followed behind, they were mainly responsible for covering the flanks and the rear, and at the same time killing the enemy's fish that slipped through the net.

The huge formation formed from this roared through the cavalry array of the Tatars!

The flags of the various units were waved in the wind on the battlefield, leaving corpses and wails in their wake!

If you take a closer look at these military flags, you will find that although these military flags are all standard red dragon sword flags on a blue background, the words on each flag are also different.

In order to distinguish the troops, the military flags of each department will be printed with their own unit numbers, such as the Sixth Cuirassier Regiment.

At the same time, divisional infantry units and independently organized cavalry regiments, artillery brigades, and artillery regiments are embroidered with gold and gold in black letters, while ordinary units are written in black.

Behind the military flag of the 6th Cuirassier Regiment, there are the 1st Cavalry Division and the 5th Cavalry Division, which are printed with the military flags embroidered with black characters and gold edges.

Don't look at the difference between the two now, but a few years ago, the Sixth Cuirassier Regiment was actually called the Sixth Cavalry Regiment, which conflicted with the Sixth Cavalry Regiment under the Second Cavalry Division.

Therefore, at that time, if you simply look at the number and number, and do not look at other words, it is difficult to distinguish which cavalry unit it is.

This is because in the early years of the Tang Army, especially during the War of Unification, it was directly divided into independent units such as divisions, and there was no careful division of regimental and battalion-level troops, so that there was a lot of confusion.

For example, the Sixth Regiment, the devil knows that it is the Sixth Regiment, because there are too many troops that can be called the Sixth Regiment, there are the Sixth Regiment under the Second Infantry Division, the Sixth Cavalry Regiment under the Sixth Infantry Division, the Sixth Artillery Regiment, the Sixth Baggage Regiment, etc. At the same time, the 2nd Guards Division of the Guards also had a 6th Regiment, and then the 2nd Cavalry Division also had a 6th Cavalry Regiment and an independent cavalry 6th Cuirassier Regiment.

Not to mention other arms, there are three cavalry regiments that can be called the Sixth Cavalry Regiment in the cavalry units alone.

For example, the infantry regiments under each infantry division are officially called the X Regiment, and the infantry regiments of the Guards are called the X Guards Regiment, and the reserve divisions are called the X Reserve Regiment.

In terms of cavalry, the cavalry of each infantry division is directly called the cavalry regiment of the X Division, the cavalry battalion of the X Division is called the reserve division, the cavalry regiment under the cavalry division and cavalry brigade is called the X Cavalry Regiment, and the independent cavalry unit is called the X Cuirassier Regiment, or the X Musket Cavalry Regiment, or the X Light Cavalry Regiment, etc.

As for the artillery, baggage, engineer and other troops, it is more straightforward, there are no various messy prefixes, all of them are the X Artillery Regiment, but the first 500 numbers are reserved for the use of divisional artillery, and the numbers above 300 are used as the numbers of independent artillery.

In this way, we will not confuse many troops.

But even what, when calling the abbreviation of a force, there will still be some misunderstandings, but this kind of thing is not a big problem, so it has been delayed, and the Tang Army is planning to carry out a thorough rectification of the number and completely solve the problems left over from history.

The 6th Cuirassier Regiment was the spearhead, fighting with the remaining 10,000 cavalry, and the Tatar cavalry was almost unable to resist wherever it passed.

Even if Altan Khan dispatched 10,000 cavalry from the left flank to rush up and try to cut off the Tang cavalry corps, Kang Changning made a quick decision and quickly reversed the direction and rushed towards the northwest, avoiding the 10,000 Tatar cavalry rushing from the northeast.

Seeing this scene, Altan Khan frowned a little!

But he didn't have the slightest solution, because the main problem was that the previous 10,000 cavalry on the left flank had not yet moved in place, and if it was launched from the east, there would be no such embarrassment, and even if the other party changed direction, then it could be killed directly behind their butts.

It can be used there and is like now, blocking the waist and cutting it can't be done, and at the same time it is very troublesome to pursue in the rear, because their front is now part of the cavalry of the Chinese army, and these collisions are all confused.

They can't directly kill some of the friendly troops of the Chinese army, and fight a bloody way to pursue the Southern Tang barbarians!

Looking at the cavalry corps of the Southern Tang barbarians, after breaking through the interception of a cavalry phalanx on his side again, and this cavalry phalanx, but the five thousand cavalry on the right flank before, this is already the last force he has on hand that can be used to intercept the cavalry of the Southern Tang barbarians, but it is still useless, and they still rushed out!

At this time, Altan Khan sighed deeply, in this battle, he did not get any benefits, but suffered a big loss.

Although the battle was not completely over, the forward troops of the Southern Tang barbarians, especially the heavily armored troops, had completely broken out of the encirclement, and more cavalry of the Southern Tang barbarians in the back also rushed out of the encirclement and began to turn around and rush towards the southwest!

If you want to continue the pursuit, it is almost impossible!

It's not that your own mobility is not good, if it is said that the two sides come to a pursuit that lasts hundreds of miles, then it must be yourself who wins in the end, because your own troops are all two horses together.

But the other party is heading southwest, what is there?

The main force of the enemy army of the Southern Tang barbarians!

Chase a fart!

Altan Khan sighed deeply again, and then said to the generals behind him: "Let's go! ”

The bystander said: "Then let's go there and continue to chase?" ”

Altan Khan turned his head to look at the north: "Don't chase it, let's retreat directly!" ”

"We don't want this loop!"
