Heavy cavalry in the true sense of the word is a type of armor that has the ability to withstand a certain amount of attack, and through the speed generated by the charge, it creates a suppressive breakthrough in the enemy's position.

The main purpose of heavy cavalry is to destroy enemy formations, and it is a super cavalry and human tank that undermines the enemy's morale.

In the era of cold weapons, a solid formation is the basis for ensuring victory, high morale is the key to victory, and once the enemy's psychological balance and organizational foundation are destroyed, it is equivalent to victory.

Therefore, the heavy cavalry is one of the most expensive, important, and glorious types of troops.

Generally speaking, the thickness, toughness, strength, and coverage area of the armor must reach a certain level to ensure that the knight can withstand the general slashing and bow killing.

However, sufficient thickness and area results in a huge amount of weight, which in turn sacrifices maneuverability. There are also shortcomings such as single function, poor reflexes, weak combat capability, and inferior mobility to ordinary cavalry.

But in the Great Qin Empire, this was not a problem at all. Because Daqin has the best light armored cavalry in the world, the number one in the world has long been verified.

With this incomparable, world-class light-armored cavalry, the Great Qin Empire can naturally form a money-burning heavy-armored cavalry and make contributions.

These heavily armored knights, not only did they have heavy iron armor, but even their horses were all dressed in iron armor, and when they advanced, it was as if the steel walls were pressing against them.

"Kill ——!"

The shouting of killing shook the sky, and the two armies collided with each other in black and yellow.

"Poof......!"

As soon as the two armies collided, the lightly armed knights of the Western Chu Army were at an absolute disadvantage at the first time. This black iron stream pressed with a spear and a long sword, allowing you to be light and fierce, but it was not close to a zhang.

Even if a few arrows were shot, they would not hurt his flesh and skin by clanging to the ground.

The Qin sword of the Western Chu army is all the same, roughly more than three feet long and weighs seven or eight catties, and the melee slashing is not as powerful as the Qin army's more than ten catties of heavy long swords, and the long-distance battle does not have the fine iron spear that the Qin army grew up.

In this way, the soldiers and horses of Western Chu could not fight in close combat, and could only seek opportunities to fight in constant evasion. In such a situation, the slightest mistake in any dodge will be pierced by a spear.

This was a desperate and ruthless massacre, a shocking murder under Emperor Hu Hai of Qin.

At this moment, there was a heavily armed iron flow in front of Xiangzhuang's army to intercept it, and there were strong crossbows on all sides to deal with stragglers, and for more than an hour before and after, the cavalry of the Chu army collapsed on all fronts.

Xiang Zhuang had been in battle for a long time, and he knew that if he continued to stalemate like this, the whole army would be annihilated, so he yelled in desperation, "Retreat——! ”

"Doot-doo-"

"Woo-woo-"

……

A horn blew for the withdrawal of troops, and Xiang Zhuang led the scattered cavalry to retreat in the direction of Huhai. He knew in his heart that at this time, there was only the back road around him and there was no enemy for the time being.

Although Xiang Zhuang also knew that the main army of the Great Qin Empire was in this direction, he had no other choice at this moment. If you don't retreat immediately, you will be wiped out immediately.

"Poof——!

The heavy cavalry of the Qin army was extremely fierce, and when they fought with the Western Chu army, they were as clean as chopping vegetables and melons.

……

"General, the Chu army is retreating, and His Majesty is not chasing after it right now, should you send troops immediately?"

Glancing at the deputy general, Lin Feng's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said word by word: "Immediately light the casualties, and at the same time send an order to Your Majesty that the Western Chu army is retreating in the direction of the camp, please ask Your Majesty to stop it!" ”

"Yes——!"

……

"Driving ......"

Distant in the sky, a knight broke through the horizon and surged out in a frenzy.

Before the sergeant arrived at Hu Hai's side, he roared loudly in the middle of the road: "Your Majesty, General Lin Feng has won a complete victory, our army only has more than 6,000 casualties, and more than 10,000 of the Western Chu army have been beheaded. ”

The victory in this battle was too unexpected. So much so that everyone in the Qin army seemed extremely fanatical, including the main general Lin Feng.

The collision between the heavy cavalry and the light cavalry was a mess, and this scene was naturally shocking.

"Hou San, order the army to immediately block the Western Chu army and capture Xiang Zhuang alive——!" With a flash of his eyes, Hu Hai resolutely ordered.

He knew in his heart that the shock of the soldiers of the Qin army at this moment was just the surprise of the heavy cavalry, and the results created were too amazing.

But Hu Hai knew better than anyone that light cavalry, as long as it was used brilliantly, could also win a great victory against heavy cavalry. Historically, the Mongol light cavalry relied on mobility to achieve victories against the large number of heavily armored cavalry of Western European knights.

This is like the Qin army's arrow array, which can allow the Great Qin Empire to defeat the Hun cavalry on the steppe with foot soldiers, and when a technological innovation can break the gap between the arms.

……

Although Hu Hai's heart turned over the river and the sea, he had a trace of worry about the future of the heavy cavalry. But at this moment, in the face of such a record, how could Emperor Hu Hai of Qin not be emotional!

At this time, the Great Qin Empire urgently needed such a hearty victory to invigorate people, whether it was the military heart or the people's heart, they needed a big victory to stabilize.

At this moment, Hu Hai was very glad that he had proposed the formation of heavy cavalry, rather than postponing it because of lack of money.

If it weren't for the ruthlessness at the beginning, there would have been no timely victory. This big victory is too important for the Great Qin Empire.

The thought flickered in his heart, Hu Hai turned his head to Han Tan of the CRRC Mansion and said loudly, "Han Tan, immediately write to the government and the opposition: Our army has defeated the main force of the Western Chu State!" ”

"Yes——!"

Nodding in agreement, Han Tan strode out of the big tent. Although he knew that Emperor Hu Hai's hand was a little clumsy, to a certain extent, it had an absolute effect.

Because the Great Qin Empire at this moment needs a war too much to stimulate the heroic feelings of the old Qin people and make the twilight court full of vitality.

He believed that as long as the emperor's letter was issued, the situation of the crumbling Great Qin Empire would be stabilized immediately, so that Qin Emperor Hu Hai would have some bargaining chips to deal with Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu.

Watching Han Tan leave, Qin Emperor Hu Hai's eyes flashed with a gleam, and at this moment, he thought of making a second move by himself.

After thinking about it for a long time, Emperor Hu Hai of Qin decided to take action immediately. Back in the study, Emperor Hu Hai of Qin was still puzzled as to what his plans were.

He believed that as long as the emperor's letter was issued, the situation of the crumbling Great Qin Empire would be stabilized immediately, so that Qin Emperor Hu Hai would have some bargaining chips to deal with Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu.

Watching Han Tan leave, Qin Emperor Hu Hai's eyes flashed with a gleam, and at this moment, he thought of making a second move by himself.
