Chapter 226: Copycat Cavalry

As the sword fell, his eyes had already drifted, and he began to search for the next target.

Suddenly, a figure in his eyes was enlarged.

In front left, on a tall repeater chariot, there was a sergeant Cang holding a small crossbow arrow, looking at him indifferently.

This feeling was all too familiar to him, as if he had raised his broadsword and slashed at a dying enemy, without the slightest mercy or emotion, as if he were looking at a corpse.

"Whoosh-"

His pupils were dilating, and on the noisy battlefield, it seemed that only the sound of arrows breaking through the air was left, and with the cold gaze of the soldier Cang on the chariot, he felt something pierce his chest.

"Bang dang!"

The war knife raised in mid-air hung down weakly and fell to the ground.

The soldier Cang who was attacked by him didn't realize that he was in danger of dying, and still continued to fight with others.

The soldier holding the bow and crossbow on the crossbow chariot was also expressionless all the time, and after the thousand people of the cave country fell to the ground, he turned his attention to another place, where a Cang army was in a stalemate with three Dong soldiers.

"Whoosh-"

"Whoosh-"

Two arrows in succession hit the two Dong soldiers who were approaching step by step, and the other one was startled and panicked.

Just then, a steel knife slashed into his shoulder......

This scene is just a microcosm of the battle between the two armies.

The Cangjun's armament team, combined with the repeater chariot, formed a new way of fighting.

Before the two armies fought each other face to face, they were the enemy's fearsome repeater chariots, and the dense barrage of arrows was daunting.

After the hand-to-hand encounter, there were another warband, surrounded by the soldiers of the armor team, and at the same time, they also covered the armor team in the back, and continued to spray arrows into the dense areas of the enemy army.

At present, the entire Qinglong Army's combat equipment team has a total of 10,000 people, more than 200 repeater chariots, which is equivalent to an average of 50 soldiers fighting around a repeater chariot, forming a large-scale combat team.

Yang Mu, who was standing on the city wall and paying attention to the battle, was also very surprised, in fact, the last time he directly commanded the Cangjun War was a long time ago, the Northern Expedition of Zheng State, in less than two years, the structure and equipment of the entire army have undergone tremendous changes, even if he is the emperor, he also feels that it is changing with each passing day.

For example, this repeater chariot is not just a moving fortress?

The repeating crossbows on the chariot are machine guns, and the soldiers with crossbow arrows are the soldiers in charge of covering in the bunkers.

The two armies fought together, and after about a quarter of an hour, they were locked in a full-scale engagement.

The bravery and strength of the Cang soldiers made the army of the Dong Kingdom fearful, and the equipment and formation directly made the opponent's commander helpless.

After half an hour of fighting, the city was already full of corpses, and soldiers in the city continued to rush out in their vehicles, constantly replenishing the crossbow chariots with arrows, and at the same time rushing to the rear of the enemy army.

"Boom—"

"Boom—"

"Boom—"

Hey?

At this moment, a huge sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and a huge cavalry came from a distance.

Scold?

The Cave Kingdom also formed such a large cavalry?

Two or three miles away, Yang Mu saw from a distance that the cavalry of the Cave Kingdom was rushing directly towards the battlefield.

But can this also be called cavalry?

It can be seen that there are not many cavalry in the cave country, about four or five thousand, but the equipment is really not flattering.

Could it be that in the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of the Cave Kingdom, as long as the horses are saddled, stirrups, and nailed to the horseshoe, they are cavalry war horses?

Cavalry combat, the most important thing is cavalry!

A few miles away, Yang Mu could feel the low-profile atmosphere of the Dongguo cavalry.

"Is it true that my army has no cavalry?"

Yang Mu smiled lightly, then beckoned and let the cavalry of the two legions charge.

Suddenly, the city gate opened, several suspension bridges were all lowered, and the two cavalry of the Blue Dragon Legion and the White Tiger Legion, totaling more than 6,000 horsemen, rushed out of the city gate.

Seeing this, the commanders of the two armies immediately waved their command flags, beat drums to change the battle formation, and made way for the two cavalry.

"Hmm...... These two cavalry are also good, reaching the combat strength of the Kirin Army a year ago, and it seems that some changes have been made, and the soldiers have used spears? ”

At this time, Yang Mu noticed that the two cavalry units of the Blue Dragon Legion and the White Tiger Legion, the cavalry were not all carrying scimitars like the Qilin Army, and a considerable number of people were carrying spears in their hands.

Perhaps, at this time it should be called a horse lance.

The horse lance, originally a heavy cavalry weapon, is similar in appearance to a spear, but it is longer than a spear, it is a heavy boutique version of the spear, an ordinary fish scale chain mail, under the armor-piercing horse lance, it can be broken with one blow.

The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Science and Technology have taken this into account?

Yang Mu was very relieved, originally he was also a person who didn't know anything about cavalry, and the knowledge he got was all seen from the books in the library, and before the war, he only thought that the scimitar was the most suitable weapon for cavalry combat, but he ignored one thing.

Historically, the horse lance, like the scimitar, was an important weapon of the cavalry, and its most obvious use was to engage opponents who were also cavalry, and the attack range was wider.

Just like the well-known Song Dynasty, the weapons of the soldiers are basically the use of spears, mainly because most of the enemies of the Song Dynasty are nomads in the north, for the infantry, the spear can also play the effect of a horse lance, whether it is in the battle or to prevent the cavalry charge, it is an ideal weapon.

That is, these lances were intended for enemy cavalry.

Generally speaking, the cavalry formation is intimidating and the cavalry charge is not to be handled, and this group of cavalry in the cave country, first of all, has already lost from the weapons in their hands.

Sure enough, the two cavalry rushed directly together.

In the situation of similar numbers, the weakness of the cavalry of the cave army was simply magnified countless times, and they were first killed by a burst of delicate crossbow arrows, and finally the two war horses approached, and they were stabbed by the oncoming horse lance.

As a result, there was an incredible scene on the battlefield.

The cavalry of the cave country is inferior to the infantry, and it has been pressed and beaten by the cavalry of the Cangguo country!

Even, the rout is faster than the infantry!

When the distance is close, there is a sharp weapon such as a horse lance, and when it is opened, there are crossbow arrows waiting for it, and the cavalry of the cave country want to cry.

Didn't you say that you were going to give Cangguo a head-on blow?

How did we get to the battlefield, but we were pressed and beaten?

In less than a quarter of an hour, the Dongguo cavalry was almost completely wiped out.

Even in the process of rout, because of the panic of the war horses, their own formation was also scattered.

For the first time, the gap between the cavalry was presented to the world.

Especially the generals who watched the battle in the rear, only then did they understand that the consequences of the small gap between the original cavalry were even more terrifying than the infantry! ()
