Chapter 41: First Entry
Shen Hu was one of the few warriors in the armored cavalry who chose the stick as a spare weapon.
It is the oldest long weapon, which was produced before Ge and spear, and was once widely used because of its convenient production and simple craftsmanship. However, since the appearance of the long soldiers who used blades to hurt the enemy, the equipment and use rate of the Yan have been declining day by day, and now in the Jin army, it is basically not used as a standard weapon.
However, in the northern steppes, for the nomadic people who have a relatively low level of weapon production and a relatively scarce source of materials, the sticks, especially the short ones, are still widespread. In particular, the short attack can only be skillfully used by powerful knights, and its effect of destroying heavy armor and incapacitating the enemy with a single blow is often more effective than stabbing weapons.
Shen Hu was purely self-assured, so he gave up the ring-headed knife and narrow-bladed axe, and chose to be short. His short sword was no more than two feet three inches long, and an iron lump slightly larger than a fist was inserted into its head, weighing about thirteen pounds.
As soon as he started his hand, he immediately raised it quickly, and Shen Hu looked at the enemy general's face almost cruelly, and the sense of despair that instantly became strong on his face was almost cruel, and then he hit the iron head with a big fist, and this sense of despair was completely shattered. The sensation of smashing flesh was very different from the feeling of piercing, the force of the return of the wrist was heavier, and the pleasure that swelled in his heart was more intense.
"Bang", as if even the sound was half a beat slower than the feel, the enemy general even slipped off the horse, his hand clenched the spear, the spearhead stuck in the shield, but couldn't help but cause Shenhu's huge body to be slightly crooked. The attendant holding the crossbow behind him had already changed into a long knife, and immediately jumped forward, cutting off the spear shaft with a single sword.
Shen Hu tilted his head slightly, gave his companion an approving look, and then shook his left arm and shook off the broken spear. When he raised his head again, he saw that Zhao Bing and wolf were rushing forward, and they had completely collapsed, and everywhere he looked, one after another big flags were put down.
In order to fight against the enemy general, Shen Hu completely stopped the horse's hooves, and the left and right horses all used it as a benchmark, and they all controlled the mount one after another. The arrow is flattened and becomes a straight line that is not smooth.
He was considering whether to continue his advance when he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and the second row of armored horsemen had already followed. Immediately, a rough voice sounded behind Shen Hu's side: "Bald head, enough killing, leave it to me!" ”
This is exactly the voice of the camp governor Luzondo. Shen Hu turned his head slightly, and saw Lu Songduo as the leader, and the second row of armored cavalry walked up, and quickly crossed his first row, regained his speed, and chased straight towards the defeated soldiers.
So Shen Hu rehung his short stub and stretched out his right palm to the side. The squire understood, and immediately picked up the horse lance he had left earlier, raised his foot first, wiped both sides of the lance blade with the soles of his shoes, wiped off the contaminated flesh, and then handed it into Shen Hu's hands again.
Shen Hu held his horse lance high, pointed to the sky, and made a small circle - this is a pre-agreed signal, which means "whole column". So the left and right armoured horsemen checked and arranged their equipment, and then each of them erected his lance—and if he accidentally lost it, he raised his short arm, or ordered his attendants to temporarily pick up the enemy's spears and use them.
At a glance, no one retreated—it was predetermined that if any one was wounded, or could no longer continue the battle for some other reason, he would retreat and take refuge in a safe place under the escort of his attendants.
The sword-wielding attendant approached Shen Hu and asked in a loud voice: "You have so much strength, your face is ruined, it is difficult to distinguish, and you still can't cut off your head?" What he was referring to was naturally the enemy general who had just been overturned by Shen Hu. Shen Hu shook his head: "Look at the equipment, it's not a general, don't have a head." ”
Anyway, Pei Junzhong does not count merit purely by the first rank, and unless there are special circumstances, the collective merit is at least calculated according to the unit of the army - although the situation of armored cavalry is special, Shen Hu's own gains can represent the first team......
Looking up, I saw that the second platoon of armor under the personal command of Lu Songduo had galloped out of the land of nearly a stone's throw, constantly assassinating and chasing the rout, looking at the enemy base. Shen Hu took a long breath and shouted hard, "Maybe fight again?!" From both sides, there were shouts from Ying He: "You can fight!" Able to fight! ”
You must know that the armor weighs sixty-five catties alone, and if you add long and short weapons, it is almost close to one hundred catties - that is, thirty or forty kilograms in later generations - to wear and use, which is very physically demanding. Only in this way, the use of a riding lance is relatively simple, basically a thorn, a harvest, rarely like the traditional riding spear, do a large rotation. But even so, the conflict was fifty steps, stabbing dozens of people, especially some of the armored cavalry were like Shen Hu, taking out short soldiers to fight with the enemy, not to mention ordinary people, even if Shen Hu was in a physical state before joining the armored cavalry, he might be so tired that his hands and feet were weak, and he just wanted to lie down.
But after a long period of training and polishing, as if reborn, the physical fitness of these armored riders is different from the past - of course, it is also maintained by seeing meat almost every day. But whether to continue to advance and fight, or to return to his own army, or just stay here and wait for the rear army to follow, it is impossible for Shen Hu to only consider his own physical condition. If most of your comrades are no longer able to fight, then staying where you are is the best option.
Especially if a person may be able to fight, the war horse will be hunched with a weight of five or six hundred catties of armor, and it will inevitably be more fatigued, and it may be necessary to replace the reserve horse...... But then it will inevitably take a lot of time, maybe the army will be completely wiped out by Lu Songduo.
Hearing the sound of "being able to fight", Shen Hu couldn't help but show a smile on his lips. He slowly lowered his lance until it was at a forty-five degree angle to himself, and then his legs struck the horse's belly, and the mount moved forward again. With a rumbling sound, this entire platoon of 200 armored horsemen stepped onto the battlefield again.
In order to protect the mount, Shen Hu didn't dare to gallop again, and the line stepped forward, and when he encountered a negative wound and fell to the ground, or a rout who had not fled far, he didn't bother to pay attention to it, and his own attendant jumped over to mend the knife. This breath rushed forward for nearly half a mile, and it was close to the enemy's base.
Looking at the comrades in front of them, most of them were already dismounted with stirrups with the support of their attendants because of lack of horsepower. A rode out of the saddle, and his speed, collision power, and deterrence were greatly reduced, but he was still able to resist sporadic arrows, and Jia Yong moved forward. They first used their horses to pick away the horses, and then they whirred around the trench and tried to climb the base.
Shen Hu gave an order, and the second row of armored horsemen also dismounted and joined the ranks of their comrades in hand-to-hand combat. Almost at the same time, he heard the sound of hooves behind him—though much softer than the hooves of the armored horse—and a rain of arrows swept overhead, falling into the enemy base.
This should be your own light cavalry to follow first.
Once the infantry comes and fights on the frontal battlefield, it will inevitably be handed over to them - the armored cavalry is the treasure of the army, and most of the governors love it like a pearl, and Liu Yang and others are willing to increase even one dead and wounded on the battlefield? Thinking about this, Shen Hu couldn't help but grit his teeth fiercely, and immediately rushed towards the enemy base with a long lance.
The armor on his body seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and Shen Hu only ran a few steps, and his legs seemed to be filled with lead. But he didn't dare to remove his armor, and most of the governors had strict orders that unless he died if he didn't remove his armor, when the two armies were fighting, the armor and cavalry could not casually weaken their defense. So he took a long breath, leaned forward slightly, and took advantage of the "inertia" that the Governor had said, and he stumbled and climbed up to six or seven feet in one breath.
The two spears stabbed one left and one right, and Shen Hu didn't have time to dodge, so he simply used his chest directly, and the tips of the spears were broken. Immediately, he took the lance in both hands, exerted all his strength, and quickly swiped from left to right, and almost an entire row of enemy soldiers was swept away by him.
No one dared to get up again, but all of them threw down their weapons, used their hands and feet, and fled towards the camp with their hands and feet. Shen Hu stood proudly on top of the earthen fortress, and with the last of his strength, he raised the horse lance high, and roared at the top of his throat - he did not dare to get off the base, he felt that if he took one more step, he might fall to the ground. Although as far as the eye can see, the enemy soldiers are all fleeing, and even if they fall, it is estimated that no one dares to approach, but ...... It's too embarrassing.
With a "bang", a big hand slapped heavily on Shen Hu's shoulder armor, Shen Hu stumbled, almost rolled off the base, and hurriedly supported the ground with a lance, which barely stood firm. Turning his head slightly, he saw that it was Lu Songduo who stretched out his hand, and took advantage of the situation to almost put half of the weight on his shoulder, but he still smiled at himself and said, "What a bald head...... Let's stop here, it's not our business to storm the fortress in the first place—count it as your first achievement! ”
Shen Hu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If Lu Du can't stand, it's better to sit down...... Do you have to pull us both together? ”
"I can't sit," Luzondo grinned, gasping for breath, "I'm the Overseer, and if I sit down, I'll be laughed at...... Then, then you and the others will also lose face, right? ”
——————————
After just a few breaths, Yao Yizhong led his foot soldiers to swarm, and instantly crossed the trenches and fortresses, flooding the entire Zhao camp like a flood.
In fact, even Liu Yang didn't expect that this armored cavalry could actually land on the enemy base first. His original plan was to charge head-on with armored cavalry to tear apart and confuse the enemy's formation, and then follow up with light cavalry and foot soldiers to defeat Shihu. Relying on the might of armor and cavalry, he strives to kill and injure more soldiers, weaken the enemy's morale, and even destroy the enemy's sense of resistance, so that he dares to shake the enemy's base with weak forces.
However, unexpectedly, before the light cavalry and foot soldiers could catch up, the first cavalry charged twice successively, and the enemy formation was destroyed, and after the defeated soldiers fled back to the base, they were chased by the first cavalry, which made the enemy soldiers defending the base rushed by the defeated soldiers, and it was difficult to assemble to strengthen the defense. Then the bald head Shen took the lead and stood proudly on the base like a golden-armored giant, and the morale of the enemy army was completely collapsed.
Seeing that there was nothing to do, Shi Sheng had already abandoned the camp and fled, escaped into Jiexiu City, and did not dare to come out again.
The Jin army forced the city to fight, Ouyang Gen suggested, ordered the soldiers to use spears to carry the capture, and shouted to the city day and night: "Thank you for the gift of the daughter-in-law!" Shi Sheng was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and he was forced to be helpless, so he had to ask for help from the party's support Qu Liu.
However, Shen Hu did not get the "first to ascend" credit, although the four hundred armor horses were almost not lost, but the war horses were tired of more than a dozen, so he was reprimanded by Liu Yang and the merit was overdue......
