The sun is like blood, and the clouds are thick. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

The war was about to break out, and the smoke of gunfire broke out everywhere.

The tiger and leopard riders are worthy of being known as the world's sharpest and well-equipped, especially the 2,500 tiger riders, all of whom are wearing heavy armor and mixed in thick iron cylinders, revealing their two eyes.

Liu Chan knew that there were only light cavalry in the Western Han Dynasty, and all the war horses were shirtless. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the chest of war horses began to be equipped with "dang chest" made of leather. By the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, relatively complete horse armor began to appear, but this equipment was very precious. At the time of the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao's tens of thousands of cavalry had only a few hundred horse armor, and the proportion of heavy cavalry was only 3% of all cavalry. Cao Cao mentioned in the "Military Policy Order" that Yuan Shao had 300 horse armors, lamenting that he did not even have ten.

And now, after Cao Cao unified the north, he has strong strength, and has spent huge financial, material, manpower, and energy to form an extremely expensive 5,000 tiger and leopard horse. Everyone is one of the best in a hundred, each with three horses, and the annual cost is 50,000 or 60,000 yuan. The Tiger Riding Camp and the Leopard Riding Camp can be described as the only peerless double pride in the world.

Therefore, these tiger and leopard knights are all Cao Cao's heart and liver baby bumps, and they are also the sharpest blades in Cao Cao's hands.

These invincible knights come and go like the wind, as fast as lightning, knights like dragons, horses like tigers, men and horses as one, spears like forests, screaming monsters, shouting and killing, bursting out with a fanatical murderous aura.

Countless black dots rolled in, and there was no edge in sight, like a huge black mudslide, with the momentum of Mount Tai, unstoppably smashing towards the Han army.

More than 20,000 iron hooves hit the ground, the sound is earth-shattering, the mountains are shaking, like a roaring spring thunder rolling over the ground, making people frightened, extremely shocking!

"Two hundred and fifty steps, two hundred and forty steps, two hundred and thirty steps, two hundred and twenty steps, two hundred and ten steps......" Zhao Yun's eyes were shining, staring ahead, and loudly counting the distance of the tiger and leopard.

The shiny fish scale armor, the bright chain mail, the shiny iron scarf, the towering red tassel, and the silk banner (the ornament worn by the military attache indicating the rank, equivalent to the rank of the modern army) on the right shoulder, although hundreds of meters away, Liu Chan could see it clearly and faintly felt the murderous aura.

"One hundred and eighty steps, light feather shooting!" The majestic Zhao Yun pulled out the sword of the green vat, pointed at the enemy from afar, and broke off.

The crossbow archers, who were still a little flustered just now, were infected by the calm bearing of Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, Liu Chan who did not move like a mountain, and Yue Zhi Yuanyu, quickly calmed down and threw the arrows full of strings into the sky vigorously.

Arrows are like flying locusts, dense in the sky.

Passing away like a meteor, shooting the earth.

The arrows were like a summer rainstorm, slashing at the galloping tigers and leopards.

"Shield!" Cao Chun shouted when he saw that the situation was not good, and subconsciously quickly took a round shield from the horse's back to protect his naked face.

As a commander, Cao Chun had to watch and listen to all directions, so he didn't put down his mask.

However, Cao Chun heard a scream like killing pigs and the sound of horses and knights falling to the ground behind him.

Most of the knights who reacted quickly just now followed the order, but there were also many knights who reacted a little slower or were shot in the eye by an arrow, or an arrow in the façade, or an arrow in the horse's leg, and the huge pain caused them to fall to the ground one after another.

Because these so-called "armor and cavalry equipment" are already perverted weapons standing at the peak of the arms race in the Three Kingdoms era, and they can be said to be armed to the teeth. However, it has a fatal weakness, one is that whether it is a chest or a horse's body armor, in order to facilitate running, the length of these horse armor only covers the horse's leg knees, and the knee is exposed below. Clever enemies will find a way from this part.

Another weakness is that in order to protect the knight's head, the protective helmet is almost completely closed, and a movable mask is installed on the front, leaving a small gap in the upper part for the eye to observe. When the mask is closed, it will greatly affect the knight's observation and judgment of other directions outside the front. Many knights, greedy for convenience, did not cover their masks, and were caught off guard by arrows.

Landing in a high-speed gallop, the inertia produced a huge impact, enough to make these fierce knights die for the rest of their lives. Some knights were thrown off by the wounded horses, hit their heads on the ground, and fainted in an instant, or went directly to the underworld to see the king of Hades. Some knights were crushed to the ground by their fallen mounts, unable to move.

Cao Chun's cousin, the Tiger Cavalry Hou Cao Zun, unfortunately fell off his horse, broke his leg and was crushed by a dead horse, so that he couldn't pull it out even if he tried his best.

Cao Zun's helmet fell, his armor was loose, his hair was scattered, his mouth was spitting blood, seeing the iron flow rolling in behind him, and his feet couldn't be pulled out, in despair, he tried his best to yell bitterly: "Son and brother, I will go, you want to avenge your younger brother!" ”

As soon as the words fell, two bowl-sized horses' hooves stepped heavily on Cao Zun's head, and a "poof" watermelon cracking sound came out, and Cao Cao and Cao Chun's clan brother, the Tiger Cavalry Hou Cao Zun, fell into the dark hell forever.

Cao Chun turned his head when he heard the sound and saw that Cao Zun's corpse had been trampled by the iron horsemen who followed one after another, and it was completely deformed.

"Brothers, rush! Kill all the Han army! Cao Chun's eyes were about to split, like a painful knife, and shouted loudly. Cao Zun's tragic death completely inspired his ferocity, and also made him lose a trace of the breath of a big man, and at this moment he has completely turned himself into a veritable Cao Jun.

Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, who have a deep brotherly relationship with Cao Zun, witnessed the tragic situation, and they were also in pain.

Even if it was close at hand, the knights did not dare to stop their horses to save each other, if they suddenly jumped out of the car, not only could they not save Cao Zun, but even they themselves died, and they were trampled into pulp by thousands of troops, and they could only watch their brothers die tragically.

From time to time, knights fall off their horses and horses fall to the ground, and the rest of the heavily armed tiger riders and lightly armed leopard riders are all running in the saddle, galloping romantically in the rain of light feathered arrows in the sky.

"Jingle bell", most of the light-feathered arrows reluctantly slipped off the fine armor, causing bursts of boos and ridicule from the tiger and leopard cavalry.

The sharp-eyed Liu Chan found that on the side of the conical formation, some knights took the initiative to roll the saddle and dismount, deliberately lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, and some tiger riders slowed down and gradually ran with the leopard riders behind. Seeing this scene, Liu Chan smiled heartily.

A light feather shot caused Cao Jun to lose more than 200 tiger and leopard knights.

"Bow and arrow return fire!" Seeing that his side had suffered heavy casualties, Cao Chun clamped his legs on the horse's belly, shouted, raised the crossbow and bow of the Sanshi hand, and shot three serial arrows in the direction of Zhuge Liang of the Han army with hatred.

Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu and others also followed suit, and they all opened their bows and arrows, and for a while, the cloud-like broken cone arrows quickly rushed towards the Han army.

Cao Chun looked at the flying arrows in the sky, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he roared wildly: "Withdraw the bow and put on the spear!" He quickly took his bow and arrows, picked up a four-meter-long halberd in both hands, and galloped on his horse.

Because the cavalry at this time did not have a high bridge saddle and stirrups, just a simple horse stool and two horse ropes, people and horses could not be closely connected, and the flying horses were bumpy and shaking, and the power of archery was greatly reduced. Therefore, after shooting a round, Cao Chun decided to avoid the shortcomings and promote the strengths, and directly rushed into the formation.

The long halberd is like a forest, piercing the blue sky. The wounded tiger and leopard riders were inspired by the smell of blood to the last ferocity, and they were all like crazy tigers, beating horses like flies, their eyes were firmly fixed on the prey in front of them, and the whole team was like a hungry tiger, frantically pounced on the Han army.

In Cao Chun's view, now the Han army is a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and there are still more than 100 steps left before they can meet the weak Han army, and then it will take a quarter of an hour to clean them up. This round of arrow attacks just now can at least kill thousands of them.
