Chapter 243: Black Light Iron Rider
Ten rides.
Only ten horsemen in armor, but they can charge, but they are like thousands of horses.
People wear armor, and horses wear armor.
The knights were all dressed in black light armor, even with their heads and faces not showing a single gap, they were covered with black light armor, lined with cowhide armor, and each of them was also dressed in a large black long batch of winds.
And the horses they stepped on were all armored.
The batch is the standard horse armor since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, which is composed of six parts, the face curtain, the chicken neck, the chest, the horse body armor, the back, and the parasitic.
The curtain is a long, narrow metal shield with eyeholes that cover the horse's head and protect the entire horse's face. The chicken neck protects the horse's neck, which is made of armor pieces and has a buckle in front of it. When the chest, horse body armor, and back are all large pieces of armor.
Parasitism is more peculiar, a broom-like thing that is placed on the tail of a horse to protect the back of a cavalryman.
These ten horses, not only are all armor riding equipment, but also everyone is equipped with a horse lance, although these horse lances are jujube lances bought from a single family, but the more than two feet long lance, still has unparalleled armor-piercing ability.
This is the best equipment in Changbai Mansion so far.
Ten sets of armor riding equipment, even if it is just the armor riding equipment of black light armor, it is still not everywhere. Five of them came as a gift from Duan Zhongkui, the county governor, and the other five were from Zhang Xutuo, the county governor.
There are a total of ten sets, originally the fourth child had proposed to use it for him and the third group of officers, but after thinking about it for a long time, Luo Cheng finally felt that the heavy cavalry should be used together to achieve better results.
Even if there are only ten hoplites, they can charge in skirmishes and crush the enemy.
This is the first time that the armor has been used.
Luo Shixin is the leader of this heavy cavalry, although now this black light iron cavalry, including himself, is only ten horses. The ones that can be selected are the most sturdy knights, and the horse lance in their hands alone is worth dozens of times, not to mention the armor of men and horses, and more than a hundred.
Not far away.
Luo Cheng has been keeping an eye on this cavalry since Shixin led the cavalry charge.
Shixin and his cavalry slowly lined up from the forest on one side, and their horses only walked slowly at first.
Immediately the knight did not even put down the visor of the helmet.
Then Shi Xin put down the horse lance held high in his hand, and slowly put it down until it was about to be parallel before stopping, keeping the lance slightly upward.
Shixin's twenty-five-pound cold bone white jujube nail lance, there is also a swallowtail black flag.
This is the hallmark of his status as a heavy cavalry commander.
Kick the horse's belly lightly.
The selected war horses, dressed in heavy vests, began to accelerate.
Walk faster and faster, then run in small steps.
Luo Cheng, who was standing in the distance and watching the formation, could feel that the ground under his feet began to shake slightly.
The feeling of vibration was getting stronger and stronger, and the ten heavy riders over there had finally increased their speed and galloped.
Horses' hooves flying.
Every time you ride a horse, it feels like you're beating a giant drum.
Luo Shixin finally put down his mask.
The nine horsemen behind him also put down their masks.
They hold long lances and are arranged in a herringbone goose wing formation.
"Lying grass, although I have only ten rides, how do I feel that my blood is boiling when I see it." Behind Luo Cheng, Zhang Liang only felt that his face was flushed, his heart was beating faster, and he couldn't help but say to Guo Xiaoke next to him.
"Damn, this even people and horses, plus three sets of armor, I'm afraid it won't weigh thousands of pounds. Not to mention fighting, just hit it on any body, and this person will have to fly. ”
Wang Junkuo is a native of Hedong, who used to sell horses, and is very familiar with horses. "Bump and fly? This man weighs a thousand pounds, and when he runs again, he will not be knocked away, but will be hit and scattered, and his flesh and blood will be blurred. Not to mention standing like that, such a heavy horse, even if a big shield is erected on the opposite side and a spear is erected, it can be said that in the face of such a heavy horse, there is no other way but to run. ”
Li Junxian said, "Can't you restrain heavy horses?" ”
Luo Cheng turned around when he heard this, "Of course, the heavy cavalry is not invincible, all arms are mutually reinforcing, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Let's just say that this heavily armed iron horse is strong in the fact that all men and horses are heavily armoured, and can ignore bows and crossbows, and are not even afraid of spears and shields, let alone ordinary light horses. Therefore, the strongest heavy cavalry is to break through the line of infantry. ”
"But the advantage of heavy riding is that it has thick defense, and the disadvantage is that it is too heavy. They can only have a very short burst time, on the battlefield, the heavy cavalry has to charge before the men and horses start to put on the armor, and because the armor is too heavy, they have to ask other soldiers to help put on the armor. Then they can only rush those fixed formations because they are slow. ”
"In addition, although the heavy cavalry has a strong ability to charge into formation, if the opponent is well prepared, as long as the infantry long contradiction formation is lined up several layers or more than a dozen layers, the gap is widened in the middle, and the hollow formation is created, then the heavy cavalry can be broken. Because the heavy ride was too heavy, he couldn't rush a few floors, so he ran out. And once the heavy cavalry can't rush, it will be lethal, even ordinary pike-infantry, surrounded by them, can stab them to death. ”
Several people widened their eyes when they heard this, it turned out that such a majestic heavy cavalry would actually be defeated by the infantry?
"The key is to stop the charging momentum of the heavy horse, and the heavy rider who can't rush up is just a turtle with a thick shell, which can be slaughtered. Of course, no one will be stupid enough to use heavy riding, heavy riding is the tip of the knife, and it can play a decisive role when it is used at critical times. ”
For example, now, in fact, the current situation on the field is not the best time for heavy riding to attack. The best time for heavy cavalry to attack should be when the opponent is in formation for defense, and it is difficult for infantry to break through head-on, and it is most appropriate to send heavy cavalry at this time.
But today, Luo Cheng just wants to test the combat effectiveness of this heavy horse.
The horses ran faster and faster.
The wind howled.
The black swallowtail flag fluttering on the lance.
The bandits had already spotted the cavalry that had suddenly rushed out.
At first, they were a little relieved to see that there were only ten cavalry, but when they saw that these were ten cavalry wrapped in steel, they were stunned.
The armor is not a new thing, it is a big killer that arose in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
However, with the domination of the Great Sui Dynasty, there are actually fewer and fewer heavy cavalry, because heavy equipment is too expensive.
However, the prestige of the armor and riding equipment is still spreading in the land of China.
These bandits couldn't have imagined that they would provoke armored horsemen to come?
Are they just some thieves who have fallen into the grass, and they are riding with equipment and armor?
It's like a few pickpockets in later generations who stole money and turned around to find that it was a heavy tank and a helicopter that came to round them up.
The heavy cavalry added up to the charge was extremely terrifying, and when they were still confused, Luo Shixin and their ten cavalry had accelerated to the fastest, and the heavy cavalry at this time was like a galloping meteorite.
Whirring and coming.
Shixin saw through the narrow slit in the eyes on the mask, and saw the bandits in front of him standing sparsely, but he had no intention of avoiding it.
It was like bulldozing and crashing into it.
Bang.
A bandit was knocked down and then trampled by iron hooves.
Phew.
A thief was directly pierced through his body by Luo Shixin's jujube lance, and the huge impact penetrated his body, and then he was stuck in the plot, and the impact made the lance slightly bent, and then the force rebounded, and the corpse hanging on the lance was thrown off.
The blood-dripping lance rose again.
Luo Shixin continued to charge with nine horsemen.
Distance.
Luo Chengcheng looked at Shixin and their ten horses, rushing and colliding all the way, and forced through the group of bandits, and then left ten empty holes.
Shixin rushed by and did not look back at all.
Behind the bandits, Luo Cunxiao and Luo Siye took two hundred Pudao infantry and Changlao infantry to kill.
But for a moment.
In that empty field, there was not a single standing thief, fifty thieves, all slaughtered.
That Wang Lvshuai took his remaining eighty or so people, avoided the side from afar, and looked at the soldiers of the White Eagle Yangfu of the Qi County Magistrate who were still mending their swords in a daze, only to feel that they were all devils!
