It's September, and there is still some distance from the cold winter, but the weather is cold for days, and the north wind is like a knife.

At the northwest corner of Shuibo, Lu Qian had already led people and horses down the mountain and lined up in formation in the wilderness of Pingchuan. After only waiting for a day, I saw the arrival of the officers and soldiers. In the vanguard, Baisheng led Han Tao to take down the fence and did not fight that day.

At dawn the next day, the two armies faced each other. At the horn of the three-way painting, the war drums beat like the sky. In Lu Qian's army, the door flag first came out of the urgent vanguard Suo Chao, and when he came out of the front of the formation, he immediately dipped the golden axe horizontally. Looking at the opening of the door flag, it is the pioneer Han Tao who is coming out. Copied a jujube mallet, strong and heroic, scolded Suo Chao and said: "The heavenly soldiers are here, they don't want to surrender early, and they dare to resist, not to die!" Suo Chao was originally an impatient person, and he didn't say anything when he heard it, he slapped his horse and danced with a golden axe to take Han Tao directly. Han Tao did not show weakness, and stood up for the prancing horse to fight Suo Chao.

It's just that Han Tao's martial arts are better than Suo Chaolai, and when he fights for more than thirty years, Han Tao is timid, so he has to leave. Hu Yanzhuo, the main general of the Chinese army, rushed from behind, and saw that Han Tao could not surpass the battle rope, so he danced a double whip from the Chinese army, sat down and sat down on the royal horse kicking the snow black horse, roaring and shouting, and came to the front of the battle to help. Suo Chao was not afraid of half of it, and wanted to fight again, but Han Tao took the opportunity to get out. The blue-faced beast Yang Zhi had already fought in front of the battle, and shouted: "Suo Xianxian, don't rest, see if I come to fight him for three hundred!" He raised his spear and went straight to Hu Yanzhuo. Suo Chao ignored Hu Yanzhuo. Here, Hu Yanzhuo came to fight the blue-faced beast. The two are a pair of opponents, the gun comes and goes, and the whip goes to the gun. Fight to fifty or so, regardless of victory or defeat.

Hu Yanzhuo saw that Yang Zhi and Suo Chao were strong, and pondered: "Where did these two come out?" It's a good life, not a means in the green forest. Yang Zhi also saw that Hu Yanzhuo's martial arts were strong, and it was difficult for him to win. Sell a flaw, turn back the horse and run back to the camp. Huyan Zhuole turned his horse's head, and did not come to chase after him. But it was his rear army that also arrived, and Tianmu led Peng Xi up.

"What is the way to be a traitor to the country and a thief! Win or lose with me! Peng Xi was going to agitate his mount and go forward to fight. was stopped by Hu Yanzhuo.

"I've heard of the name of Liangshanbo in Jingxi. This is not yet seen Lin Chong and the flower monk come out, there can be such an expert there. Don't take it lightly again. "But Runing Prefecture is very close to Luoyang, and Lin Chong's name can be heard by Hu Yanzhuo; And he was also a fierce general who fought in the northwest earlier, and the background of the flower monk Lu Zhishen is also clear.

Hu Yanzhuo originally thought that Liang Shanbo would be able to see the two characters like this, but he didn't want the leopard head and the flower monk to show up yet, and only two nameless people would kill him and feel hard. He looked at the opposite side, and a mile away, where the flag was displayed, under the apricot yellow flag, there was obviously a column of people stationed on the horse. The leopard head Lin Chong and the flower monk Lu Zhishen should be in it. He was not willing to ask for hardship and dampen the spirit of the army.

At this time, the biggest advantage of Huyanzhuo's department was not the generals, but his soldiers and horses.

With a full 5,000 horses, God knows how excited Hu Yanzhuo was when he really received the 3,000 good horses promised to him by Gao Yu.

How can such a healthy horse not be able to mount it?

And the horse army of such a scale, there are still 3,000 iron horses inside, Hugh said that he controls them all, that is, the large and small species in the northwest, the little and the small, the little and the small, the Liu, the Yao Xiong, Yao Gu, and the generals, I am afraid that they have never been led.

It is only in the city of Tokyo that thousands of good horses can be transferred in one go, and so many military uniforms can be deployed in one go. And the two thousand horsemen who were then deployed, although there were also horses who could not fight, but there were six or seven out of ten strong horses, which was already commendable.

Yes, Hugh saw that the soldiers and horses under his command were scarce, but Hu Yanzhuo was full of confidence, and Sheng Luqian no longer spoke.

Four or five thousand cavalry, this combat power buff bonus is so powerful that it explodes. At land engagement, he had the confidence to push down the thieves. In fact, this is the reason why countless people believe it is true. The 15,000 well-armed Forbidden Army was very powerful, and the 5,000 well-equipped Horse Army was even more powerful. That's why no one would believe that Liang Shanbo could win again. They all thought that they were the ghosts at the bottom of the cauldron, and death was not far away. What Hu Yanzhuo is most afraid of is that Liang Shanbo avoids him, and frequently attacks other states and counties, making his troops and horses tired of galloping, it is not beautiful.

But it turns out that all the heroes of Liangshanbo are very tough. Leave a camp on the shore of the water early and wait for Hu Yanzhuo to come.

Under the apricot yellow banner on the opposite side is Lu Qian, and on the left and right are Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, Luan Tingyu, and Wu Song. A strong general in this cottage, he brought it all this time.

Seeing the snazzle on the opposite side, he shook it, but saw the dust covering the sun and the sound of horses' hooves.

Lu Qian's right palm with the wind splashing knife was oozing with sweat. This is a fucking big battle, but it gambled on most of Liang Shanbo's capital. Although he felt that he had a lot of hope of winning.

It's just that when Lu Qian saw clearly the cavalry group that Hu Yanzhuo killed left and right, he chuckled in his heart. It's not a chain horse. Just light cavalry one by one.

The cavalry of the Song army rushed from the left and right flanks were clearly light cavalry wearing leather armor, and they had nothing to do with the chain of horses with heavy armor.

Of course, this does not affect the overall situation. And these light horsemen will never be able to rub his feet.

Lu Qian ordered people to beat the war drums and blow the horn. Later, he and the leader around him returned to the horse and turned into the flag gate. What Hu Yanzhuo can still see is the big flags waving in the wind, as well as the big shields set up in front of him.

The infantry of the Song army was also holding a long card, approaching the main formation of Liangshanbo step by step, but the light cavalry on both sides was faster, and there was a large area of cavalry on both sides of the Song army's infantry armor to escort it. Maybe the chain horse is one of them.

Lu Qian retracted to the second line, where there was a high ground made of soil, not high, only zhang xu, but standing on top of it, he could see the battle clearly.

He looked at Song Jun's infantry line with a little concern. If Hu Yanzhuo had an infantry battle before dispatching the main cavalry force, it would have been unexpected. If he remembers correctly, Hu Yanzhuo fought against Liangshan, and it was all based on cavalry attacks. For the cavalry under his command was by no means light horsemen, but iron horsemen with armor.

It was a horse with a horse armor, a man wearing iron armor, the horse with armor only exposed four hooves hanging on the ground, and the person hanging armor only exposed a pair of eyes. Such an impact is not at all comparable to that of the Liangshanbo people at that time.

It's just that the Song army is trapped in the lack of horsepower, and the vests are mostly leather goods, and only the front of the horse face and horse chest are decorated with armor pieces, which are worse than the real heavy cavalry. But this is not known to outsiders.

And even so, the configuration is already extremely extravagant.

When the Song army's infantry line advanced to two hundred paces in front of the Liangshan army's formation, its speed slowed down; When they advanced to one hundred and fifty paces, the divine arm bows of the two armies began to fire sporadically; It wasn't until the distance was as close as a hundred paces that the real battle began.

In the face of the heavy infantry armies of the Khitan and Western Xia, the divine arm bow in the hands of the Song army can always bring a huge threat to the enemy. But when the Song army dealt with the Liangshan army's infantry formation, which was exactly the same as his front, the tortoise was more slow than the tortoise, and it was too slow to kill and injure each other only by relying on the divine arm bow.

Be clear that crossbow arrows cannot be thrown. It's not that it can't be thrown, but if it is thrown like this, the crossbow loses almost all of its advantages. The rate of fire of the crossbow is slow, and the projectile does not seek accuracy but the density of firepower, so the slow rate of fire is not suitable for this, and it cannot be like a bow to throw as many arrows as possible in a short period of time to cover the opponent

In addition, the pull distance of the crossbow is short, and the crossbow arrow is relatively short and thick, such an arrow is not conducive to projectile flight, the more slender the thing is, the better the flight stability, and the short and thick thing is easy to lose speed and stability in long-distance parabolic flight.

In short, the advantage of the crossbow is that it is high and powerful at close range, whether it is the hit rate or the killing rate, the thrown crossbow arrow is not as good as the bow and arrow.

The super range and lethality of the Divine Arm Bow are all obtained when shooting horizontally. If it is a projectile, hehe, it will blind him to the high cost of construction.

Therefore, the troops on both sides will still slowly approach. After Hu Yanzhuo was on the front line of long-card soldiers and crossbowmen, he arranged a full five hundred sword and axe men. All of them are strong men in the army, and they are all wearing double armor.

Lu Qian was still at the forefront of his own guard battalion.

After the fight with real knives and guns replaced the bow and crossbow shooting, there was no doubt that the guard battalion with buff added pushed back the opponent without any suspense. Hu Yanzhuo didn't expect five hundred heavily armored sergeants to break through the enemy formation, but when he saw that the elite of the army he deployed was easily pushed back by the enemy, he was furious.

If it weren't for the commander who was in charge, Han Bolong, who was ashamed and then brave, was beheaded with a knife, and Hu Yanzhuo would also punish him heavily.

Of course, he was also shocked. This Liang Mountain Thief turned out to be an elite Ruosi.

It's just that although these five hundred sword and axe men were defeated, they also played the role he expected. Behind those 500 people, a chain of horses has been listed. Lu Qian could see clearly from a high place that even if the Song army was covered by a flag, it was impossible to cover all the horses' feet.

When the five hundred Song soldiers in the front formation were completely defeated and retreated, only a few moments after Han Bolong encouraged the soldiers to rush and kill, Lu Qian took the first step to ring the golden watch. Summon the men and horses to return to battle.

Hu Yanzhuo narrowed his eyes. Han Tao next to him also said: "This thief is obedient. ”

"So what? No matter how interesting it is, it can't resist the rolling iron ride. Peng Qi claimed that he had the chance to win, and he didn't even think so.

A chain of horses has been galloping away.

It's getting closer, it's getting closer! All the Liangshan troops looked at it more kindly.

What appeared in his eyes was an iron-armored monster, whether it was a war horse or a cavalryman on horseback, all wrapped in a thick layer of heavy armor. Even the head and chest of the cavalry and the horses were covered by the cold subway surface, exuding a cold metallic luster, and in fact there was a thick layer of felt under the leather goods. Nothing was missed except the eyes and the four hooves. Because of the hand wounds of the cavalry, they wore scaly iron gloves.

They rode in groups of ten, and they were connected by iron chains, and it was difficult for them to break their swords and axes. The iron cavalry is getting closer and faster, and the iron clothes are chilling, and the spear in his hand is even more suffocating.

What does it mean to be armed to the teeth, in this day and age, this is it!

"Shoot, shoot, shoot!" Zhou Daming, deputy of the right battalion of the pro-guard battalion, was angry and shouted. The quality of the guard battalion is absolutely first-class in the Liangshan army, and only the last "arrow" fell, and countless arrows were shot out at a rapid pace. Those sharp arrows and crossbow arrows are not armor-piercing heavy arrows, but they can fall on the opponent and bounce away as if they have hit an iron wall.

The whole body is wrapped in a thick iron shackle, surrounded by long eaves, and under it is an armored iron rider with felt pillows, not afraid of any arrows at all. Even if a strong crossbow shot hits the body, it can't penetrate it.

Even if they already knew that the armored iron horses of the official army were good, countless soldiers and soldiers in Liangshan were dumbfounded.

"Kill—"

"Kill—"

The drums of war shook the sky, and the trumpets were excited.

The rolling horses are like waves rushing towards the breaking embankment, unstoppable, unstoppable.

But there have been new changes in the Liangshan army. With the sound of drums, the soldiers of Liangshanbo were scattered like startled birds. Behind the flags, the shield carts were covered with bright red cloth.

The robes of the infantry of the Liangshan army were red, and the shield carts were covered with red cloth, and there were long plates and banners in front of them to cover them, and Hu Yanzhuo naturally saw that it was gone. And now it's time for these shield carts to play their role.

A spear that was more than a foot long was inserted diagonally through a round hole in the surface of the shield cart, and the shiny blade of the spear pointed outward. A shield car that does this is naturally nothing, but what if it is hundreds? What if it's a few hundred?

When he saw that after the defeat of the infantry heavy armor, Hu Yanzhuo dispatched the cavalry, not more infantry heavy armor, Lu Qian smiled on his face.

This is not Hu Yanzhuo's defeat, but he expected it.

Lu Qian racked his brains before, thinking hard about how to break the enemy, and really asked him to pull something out of the old memory pile. Although he no longer knows how Yu Dayou used a small cart to defeat the invading Mongolian cavalry, he doesn't even know if Yu Dayou's 'small cart' is really the current wheelbarrow. Anyway, he vaguely remembered where he saw the battle example, where Yu Dayou, a famous general of the same generation as Qi Jiguang, was on the nine sides, using a small cart to block the cavalry from breaking through, and then defeated the Mongol army.

Lu Qian didn't even know the size of the small cart, and he didn't remember Yu Dayou's combat rhythm at all. All he had left in his mind were these ten words: Yu Dayou, a small cart, a big defeat for Mongolia.

Then Lu Qian thought of his own shield cart from the small cart, if Hu Yanzhuo's chain of horses rushed over and slammed the row upon row of shield carts in front of him, what would the effect be?

Is it a man on his back or under a horse?

Although the mounted heavy cavalry was nicknamed the cold weapon tank in later generations, they were not real tanks.

Taking this as a proposition, Lu Qian summoned the leaders of the cottage and deduced it for four days and nights. During this period, Tang Long also talked about his cousin Xu Ninglai, but today's Liangshanbo is very different from the Water Margin in the original book. I won't be like a treasure and do that dirty trick.
