Chapter 511: The Power of the Heavy Armored Iron Horse
The unique horn horn sounded from the rear of the Great Food Army formation, which was an order to retreat, and then there was a flag bearer in the high place, and the heavy cavalry general of the Great Food Army, who was not caring about the Tang Army cavalry, heard the horn, so he turned his head to see the flag bearer playing the flag, and Said actually asked them to retreat? This greatly puzzled the heavy cavalry generals and officers, but they still had to give up the pursuit of the Tang cavalry, and reined in their horses and stopped in great anger.

Said made a fatal mistake, he should not have ordered the heavy cavalry, which had suffered heavy casualties, to retreat at this time, and the heavy cavalry could only charge out and back at most twice in a single battle. After rushing out, you must kill through the enemy army formation to stop, once you fall into the enemy army formation, it is equivalent to the annihilation of the whole army, because the heavy cavalry itself lacks mobility and flexibility, and the stopped heavy armored cavalry is a lamb to the slaughter, fortunately the heavy armored cavalry of the Great Food Country is not equipped with a spear but a scimitar, and they can also fight with a knife after stopping, although it is not very flexible; If they were all armed with spears more than four meters long, like the heavy cavalry of the Byzantine Empire, they would be devoid of combat effectiveness when they stopped.
After the heavy cavalry of the Great Eclipse stopped, the cavalry of the Tang Army also stopped under Wei Meng's loud order, and continued to release arrows, a round of arrow rain shot over, these stopped Dashi Heavy Cavalry were hit again, many of them were hit by arrows after being hit by arrows through their armor, fell off their horses and died.
The Great Food Heavy Armored Cavalry, which was ordered to retreat, did not get rid of the crisis at this time, they fell into the heavy encirclement of the Tang Army, and Zhao Ziliang promptly ordered the coalition forces that were attacking the left and right flanks of the Great Food Army to divide part of their forces to block the retreat of the Great Food Heavy Cavalry.
Zhao Ziliang saw that the encirclement had been completed, and immediately raised his arms and clenched his fists: "Order the lancers to approach the siege!" ā
The allied cavalry had a variety of weapons, but many of them were armed with spears or iron spears, and after receiving the order, these people stepped forward with their spears to attack the besieged Dashi heavy cavalry, although they were wearing heavy armor, they could not block the assassination of the spears and iron spears, and the allied cavalry roared and stabbed the spears and iron spears into the body of the Dashi Iron Cavalry.
Said, who was in the rear of the Great Food Army, saw that his 2,000 heavy cavalry had lost hundreds of cavalry after a cavalry shot, and was ordered to withdraw by him, but after stopping, he fell into the heavy encirclement of the Tang army, and now less than half of the 2,000 heavy cavalry under his command remained, but they were surrounded and killed by the Tang army, and his eyes were suddenly round and his heart was like a knife.
If the besieged heavy cavalry is not rescued, they will be surrounded and killed by the Tang army, as a general who is proficient in military affairs, Said knows the advantages and disadvantages of the heavy cavalry, but at this time he can only use the strength of a thousand heavy cavalry and a thousand light cavalry, and the Tang army used about 10,000 people on the battlefield, and they still have nearly 20,000 reserves, even if they use all the thousand heavy cavalry and a thousand light cavalry to rescue those surrounded heavy cavalry, I am afraid that they will not be able to rescue them, but will bury the last mobile force.
At this moment, only a surprise move can turn the tide, Said quickly thought of the only way to win, that is, to destroy the command center of the Tang army, he knew that Zhao Ziliang was standing on the hill on the right rear side, but there were a large number of Tang cavalry at the foot of the mountain, and there were infantry guards on the mountain, it was not easy to kill to the top of the hill, but at this time there was no other way, but the troops were dangerous, he immediately ordered the use of the last thousand heavy cavalry and a thousand light cavalry, with a thousand heavy cavalry as the pioneer, After breaking through the encirclement of the Tang army, let the encircled heavy cavalry follow the charging heavy cavalry to break out of the encirclement, join this combat force, and rush to the foot of the hill, and then rush to the mountain, he considered that the heavy cavalry is not suitable for attacking the mountain, so the task after the heavy cavalry is killed at the foot of the mountain is completed, and the people who survived must find a way to break through, and the rest of the things will be handed over to the thousand light cavalry behind them, and the thousand cavalry will kill to the top of the mountain and seize the flag of the Tang army. As long as the command center of the Tang army is destroyed, the 30,000 Tang army will fall into chaos, and then he can command the remaining soldiers and horses on the battlefield to win in the chaos.
Said's order was quickly conveyed, and 1,000 heavy cavalry and 1,000 light cavalry were each led by a general, with the heavy cavalry taking the lead in charging towards the Tang army, and the 1,000 light cavalry closely following behind.
The sound of running thunder came from the direction of the Great Food Army again, the horses' hooves were flying, the grass and dirt were splashing, and the heavy cavalry of the Great Food Army was all holding sharp scimitars and killing the light cavalry of the Tang Army who were besieging the heavy cavalry of the Great Food Army.
The panicked coalition light cavalry had to reluctantly organize a team of cavalry to block, when it was rushed to pieces in a blink of an eye, the thousand heavy cavalry rushed over like a bamboo, the coalition light cavalry could not stop them at all, the encirclement was quickly broken open a gap, and the big food heavy cavalry who were surrounded in the middle saw that the encirclement was broken open by their own reinforcements after the gap was greatly boosted, they joined it under the shouting of this reinforcement army, and followed the thousand heavy cavalry to the hill where the command center of the Tang army was located.
At this time, the battle on the left and right flanks was nearing the end, although the combat effectiveness of the light cavalry of the Great Food Army was good, but the gap in strength was too large, and the 1,000 Great Food Light Cavalry on the left and right flanks had almost been defeated by the coalition cavalry, most of the Great Food Light Cavalry were killed, and a small number began to flee to the rear.
However, at this time, there was a strange side on the battlefield, the impact of the heavy cavalry was too strong, and there was no coalition cavalry in front of them to stop them, and the encirclement was once again broken through the gap, and they killed from the gap to the hill where the command center of the Tang army was located.
Zhao Ziliang saw it really on the top of the hill, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and said: "The heavy armor iron of the Great Food Country really deserves its reputation!" ā
Brehan was sweating when he saw it, and he was shocked and angry: "This big food army has a big impact force of heavy armor and iron cavalry, they are killing this side, general, it seems that they want to cut off the generals and capture the flag, disrupt the command of our army, and then take advantage of the chaos to defeat our army!" These barbarian cavalry are just unreliable, look at them, seeing the big food heavy armor iron cavalry is like a mouse seeing a cat, they can't hide, where do they dare to go up and fight to the death?"
There are nearly 20,000 barbarian cavalry under the mountain waiting for them, but Zhao Ziliang is very doubtful that they will be able to withstand the impact of this big food army heavy armored iron cavalry, if they really let them kill a bloody way in these 20,000 barbarian cavalry all the way to the foot of the mountain, it will really be a slap in the face, but at this time Zhao Ziliang has no way to deal with the opponent's heavy armored iron cavalry, so he can only order all units to block the impact of the enemy's heavy armored iron cavalry.
The Great Eaters are the most powerful horses in the world in terms of charge speed and shock power, even though they have done their best to cross nearly three kilometers with their fully armored and heavily armed heavy cavalry, in this case they still do not slow down, and still maintain their top speed to sprint, and the coalition cavalry in front of them is as vulnerable as a chicken, and after being hit, they are crushed into powder on the spot.
"Rush, rush, keep rushing, that's it, all the way to the foot of the hill is half the success!" Said clenched his fists and yelled, and the guards around him were also very nervous to watch the situation on the battlefield.
As the governor of Khorasan Province in the Great Food Country, he only has 3,000 heavy armored cavalry under his command, and this time he sent troops to the east and brought them all, and he has not used them in previous battles, but he didn't expect them to be used this time, and he has fallen into a huge crisis, these 3,000 heavy armored iron cavalry is his lifeblood, he spent a huge amount of wealth, countless energy and time to build, he is not willing to bury them all here, if they can destroy the Tang Army command center in one fell swoop, this battle will have a great certainty of victory.
Zhao Ziliang looked at the situation on the battlefield at the foot of the mountain, his face was very unsightly, the nearly 20,000 barbarian cavalry at the foot of the mountain could not stop the other party's heavy armored cavalry with only 1,600 horses left, although this army continued to lose on the way to the charge, but they still stubbornly rushed over.
Seeing the heavy armored cavalry rushing over like a bamboo, almost no one could stop it, the Tang army on the hill and Zhao Ziliang's servants were like a great enemy, Brehan immediately pulled out the horizontal knife on his waist and said to Zhao Ziliang: "General, the last general will take people to block them!" ā
Zhao Ziliang stopped: "What are you panicking about?" They are heavy cavalry, it is not easy to rush up the mountain, the idea of the main general of the Great Food Army, Said, is to first use the heavy armored iron cavalry to kill a set of bloody roads, and then attack the mountain by the light cavalry on the right, those heavy cavalry rush to the foot of the mountain will soon turn to break through, you go down and tell the leaders of the tribes that the enemy's heavy cavalry mobility and flexibility are not good, let them find a way to slow down these enemy heavy cavalry when they turn, use the lancers against them, or stab or throw, until they stop completely, and then find a way to surround them! ā
As Zhao Ziliang's chief of guard, Brehan couldn't leave easily, so he couldn't do it: "General, if the last general leaves, what will happen here?" ā
Zhao Ziliang smiled: "Are you still worried that General Ben will be rushed up and killed by them?" Go ahead, there's no need for you here! ā
"No!" Only then did Brehan turn away.
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and ordered: "Come here, send an order to Zhao Hu, let his Modao army line up in a battle formation, and prepare to meet the enemy's light cavalry!" ā
"Obey!"
The military order was issued quickly, Zhao Hu immediately ordered to sort out the formation, so that the soldiers of the Modao Army were ready to prepare the Modao to prepare for the battle, originally he thought that his Modao Army had no chance to play in this battle, and almost all of them were cavalry, and the light cavalry accounted for the vast majority, although his Modao Army was extremely lethal, but the mobility was too poor, if the opponent's cavalry wanted to run, the Modao Army would not be able to catch up at all, unless the other party had no way to retreat, and could only move forward, otherwise the Modao team would have no way to take the other party.
The heavy cavalry of the Great Food Army finally broke through the heavy obstacles of nearly 20,000 coalition cavalry at the foot of the mountain and killed at the foot of the mountain, but at this time their horses were also exhausted, and their speed dropped by more than half, and they rushed to the foot of the mountain and began to turn to prepare for a breakthrough, but the coalition cavalry that had already been organized by Brehan was ready, and they used various methods to further reduce the speed of the opponent, so that the opponent's heavy cavalry had to stop, and divided and surrounded these heavy cavalry for siege.
Although these heavy cavalry of the Great Food Army had fallen into the encirclement one after another, their mission had been completed, and there were still nearly 900 people left in the 1,000 light cavalry behind them at this time, and more than 100 people were shot and killed by the coalition forces on both sides during the charge behind the heavy cavalry just now.
The remaining nearly nine hundred light cavalry continued to kill the hill along the bloody road in front of them, which was broken away by the heavy cavalry, but what appeared in front of them was a forest of swords, and the Mo Dao Army attacked. (To be continued.) )
