Episode 46: Thief, you dare!
Time returned to half an hour ago, when the Cui family's guards and the Hu people were fighting fiercely, Liu Ye had already quietly led his troops to go around the back of this group of Hu people.
However, Liu Ye did not immediately attack. War is not child's play. Before the battle, it is necessary to prepare for the battle. Such as armor and so on.
Armored soldiers generally wear armor before the war. After all, the armor of ancient times was due to process problems. Leather armor is not light, but iron armor is not light. Even the perverts of the guards don't usually wear armor with them. At most, he wears leather armor. The Mingguang armor that the white-robed guards wore as standard was one of the heaviest armors of this period.
Before the battle, it was usually the work of the auxiliaries to put on the armor of the soldiers, but today I was busy with the raid and did not bring the auxiliaries. So this heavy responsibility fell on the white-robed squires, and not only that, but they also had to give the main war horse armor to the guards.
These vests are given away from the Starter Pack. Generally, the price of a set of vests is higher than that of armor, and theoretically speaking, Saigo does not have the financial resources to equip these vests. But who makes the family have a system?
However, the system also has a pitfall, that is, the system cannot make living things. So the newbie gift package only gave a vest and Mingguang armor. There are no matching horses. For a long time after that, these vests were kept in warehouses and eaten in ashes.
In the following two years, although Liu Ye collected a lot of war horses, there were still too few war horses suitable for riding as armor equipment. A war horse that can carry a vest + Mingguang Kai + chain mail + leather armor + an adult strong man is definitely not an ordinary war horse.
Among the ten horses, there are only two or three of them who can become war horses, and there may not be one of the ten war horses that can become the main war horse. It can be said that those who can become the main war horse with armor cannot be said to be one in a hundred, but basically it is one in fifty.
Obviously, these war horses in front of them are not qualified at all, and in order to save horsepower, they can only be equipped with vests before the war. Before the war, they had to endure the pain of feeding them refined grains with eggs and meat foam. There are still many people on the scene who can't eat these things. The main thing about doing this is to prevent them from losing their stamina and dropping their chains when they sprint.
Under the service of the white-robed attendants, the guards have already put on three layers of heavy armor, and the war horses are also equipped with vests and felt cloth against arrows under the service of the white-robed attendants. However, these white-robed attendants also had to accompany these war horse masters to warm up.
After doing this, they still need to help each other. Before the fight began, these white-robed attendants were already tired and half dead.
After the preparations, Liu Ye did not immediately attack. Instead, let everyone rest in place for a while, and wait for the time to come. After a while, when about half of those native soldiers were transferred to follow the large army to attack, Liu Ye knew that his opportunity had come.
……
"What are the scouts for, when Lord Ben returns, he must trample them to death."
"All light riders turn their heads quickly. Fast! Fast! Although Lord Hu Qi already knew the ending, he didn't want to sit still.
In a narrow space, the infantry will definitely die in the face of the face-to-face attack of the armored equipment and cavalry, and there is not even scum. As for these light cavalry, the same is true for the armored cavalry. The advantage of the hussars was speed. Light cavalry without speed will have significantly reduced attack power. Here, the combat capabilities of the hussars were no stronger than those of the infantry.
Letting these light riders turn around, of course, was not to block the attacks of these armored riders. These armor riders were already rushing to their faces, and they simply didn't have time to speed them up.
Lord Hu Qi only hoped that they could be able to block the armor ride a little bit. Give him some time to organize infantry gun formations. The terrain here is not conducive to the play of Hu Qi, but it is also not conducive to the play of armor and equipment. As long as they stop these armor mounts, they have a chance. Although the armored equipment of the stopped horse is still strong, it is by no means comparable to their running.
But this Lord Hu Qi's ideas are good, but the reality is cruel. He overestimated the fighting qualities of his own people, and also underestimated the strength of the guards.
In the face of the attack of the armor and equipment horses, these Hu horses did not have such a high level of dedication. Because they were all crowded together, many Hu riders dismounted and slipped away.
As soon as he made contact, the Hu Qi on the periphery collapsed directly. However, these war horses that were abandoned by Hu Qi also left some obstacles for the armor and equipment riders. Although the guards were skilled in riding, some of the armor were forced to stop by the horses gathered in front of them.
"Shoot the arrows." Lord Hu Qi ordered. Ignoring the fact that there are still many Hu people on their way here.
A equipment to ride, invulnerable, arrows and arrows do not enter. It's not about it. A knight in three layers of armor, a horse equipped with anti-arrow felt cloth and horse armor. Unless you shoot with a stretch crossbow at close range, or a large bow like a bed crossbow. Otherwise, you won't be able to hurt the armor at all.
In the face of these weak arrows, the guards didn't even bother to block them. Constantly use the horse lance in your hand (also a novice gift package, the horse lance is also very expensive, not cheaper than Mingguang Kai. Assassinate the fleeing Hu people.
After several waves of arrows in a row, the armored riders had nothing to do except for the arrows they were riddled with, but instead shot and killed many of their own people.
"Demons! Demon! Finally, the Hu people couldn't stand the pressure, dropped their weapons, and ran away. But he was greeted by a scimitar.
"Don't retreat, those who retreat die, Lord Ben hereby promises, kill one person, reward two slave girls, ten cattle and horses, and one hundred sheep." The bearded horseman who was grabbing the deserter's head shouted.
After listening to the reward promise of his own lord, Zhonghu recovered his morale a little. In addition, Lord Hu Qi was still carrying the head of a deserter in his hand. The Huren don't want to be next.
At this moment, the armor riders were also approaching. But there is good news for the Hu people. That is, the speed of the armor is gone. These armor mounts didn't have enough room to get their horses running again. The bad news, though, is that the defenders are free to play. Many guards dismounted directly from their horses and came out to fight on foot. If it were other armor and horses, without the help of the squires, the knights in heavy armor would never be able to get down. But for the armor, it is a small meaning.
"They, the horse stopped. To Lord Ben, Lord Ben swore in the name of the Wolf God, and all the promises made just now were counted. Master Hu Qi shouted.
The Hu people below coveted Lord Hu's reward and rushed up one after another.
This time, the armor and cavalry used the arrow front formation commonly used by the cavalry. Acting as an arrow is the white-robed deputy commander of the guard, the purple armor, and the bright moon. Originally, Liu Ye was reluctant to let his little lover go to the battlefield. But Mingyue insisted. Liu Ye didn't have any good way to stop it. Unlike other guards, the armor worn by Mingyue was specially made for Liu Ye by the system, although I don't know what material it is, but the defense is super amazing. And it's also shiny, and it's beautiful. Since Liu Ye didn't need to go to the battlefield, he gave this armor to Mingyue. If someone else dresses like this on the battlefield, it is tantamount to their own ridicule, and it is definitely looking for death. But for a pervert like Mingyue, there is no need to care at all. These Hu people in front of them are completely delivering food to Mingyue.
Suddenly, Mingyue seemed to have discovered something, and shouted:
"Thief, do you dare?"
