Chapter Seventy-Four: The Battle for Luoyang (12)

The plan has been decided, Yang Shuo still did not forget to look at the cavalry commanded by Zhao Yun in the distance, he thought that with the cavalry, he could turn the tide, but the world was invincible, but in fact, the cavalry mainly relied on shocking visual effects to crush the enemy psychologically, and achieve the goal of self-chaos without a fight. But in the face of well-trained foot soldiers, ordinary cavalry can only suffer heavy casualties in front of spear + shield, even if the heavy cavalry has a slight upper hand at most, and cavalry alone cannot break up the opponent's formation.

It is also mainly used to harass the infantry, cut off the transportation of grain and grass, think about it, a pure infantry team in the face of the 3,000 cavalry that is attacking, will it stop fighting or do something? The march of tens of thousands of horses is arranged in the shape of a long snake, and the distance between the front and back varies from one mile to several miles, and if you want to stop to form an effective formation, how can you complete it without a stick of incense? How many distances can be walked in a day without stop-and-go, if you don't pay attention to it, without an effective formation, a random charge will be a lot of casualties.

And the most important thing is that the cavalry can attack the grain transport baggage team at any time, as we all know, the grain transport troops are some auxiliary soldiers who do not have much combat ability, and then equipped with a certain amount of regular army in wartime, but the number is very small, once the large-scale cavalry attacked, the consequences of the destruction of grain and grass are unimaginable, as the saying goes, people are iron rice is steel and do not eat a day without hunger panic, why can the battle of Guandu turn defeat into victory, it is not that Wuchao has cut off Yuan Shao's grain road!

Cavalry has light cavalry, archer cavalry, crossbowmen, heavy cavalry, etc., light cavalry is mainly used for harassment, interception, expansion of the results of the battle, archers and crossbowmen attack slightly stronger, heavy cavalry is a giant but in the face of well-prepared, strict formation, strict military discipline of the troops, in the face of buried several feet deep, layer by layer of copper and iron armor wrapped in vertical shields, heavy cavalry no matter how strong the impact force can be, hit a layer of two layers buried deep underground vertical shield is already very powerful, but in the face of three layers of four layers? As long as one heavy cavalry is stuck, the heavy cavalry that follows behind it will not be finished!

The cavalry is the strongest type of troops after the chariot, but his strength is not omnipotent, otherwise King Zhao Wuling's Hufu cavalry will not dominate the six countries, and the 300,000 string-controlling soldiers of Mao Dun will not sweep the Western Han Dynasty, is this true? No, the prosperous Great Song Dynasty lost the sixteen states of Yanyun, lost the land of horse grazing in the northwest border, and the generals were either eunuchs or civil officials, and they were facing Liaojin and Xixia, which were the peoples on horseback, so they should have perished long ago, why could they be strong for so many years, Zhu Yuanzhang dominated the world from south to north, and faced the fierce and cruel Hun cavalry, why could he sweep the north?

The cavalry is the king of the era of cold weapons, but it is not with him that he can dominate the world!

And the four thousand cavalry commanded by Zhao Yun is just the simplest light cavalry, and in the face of the spear and big shield that are waiting for the battle, the outcome is definitely not much better.

When two armies fight, having cavalry does not mean that victory will be achieved, but without cavalry, it is absolutely impossible!

Relieved in his heart, he didn't care so much, Yang Shuo immediately ordered, Qin Qiong and Zhao Yun each led the men and horses to lead the charge, completely revealing the bravery of the two of them in front of Cao Ren.

Yang Shuo took Liu Ji and Master Father Yan to stand on the platform, while Shi Jin picked up a fist-sized drumstick on the side to drum for the two of them.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

Once Qin Qiong led people to fight in the big array, the foot soldiers who followed closely behind him swarmed to expand the results, and the cavalry commanded by Zhao Yun was waiting for an opportunity to find a fighter around the Cao army, and the two joined together, striving to destroy Cao Ren in one fell swoop.

The sound of war drums is thick and passionate, the sound of trumpets is desolate and long, and the battle on the outskirts of Chenggao is approaching.

Qin Qiong held Shuangjian in his hand, the sound of heavy footsteps was clearly audible, and the daring warrior on his side held a shield and followed Qin Qiong's steady progress mechanically.

Steadily advancing dozens of steps in front of Cao's army, the waiting rain of arrows came as scheduled.

"Go!" Qin Qiong shouted, and the daring warriors behind him raised their shields above their heads, and with the sound of "aggressive", the arrows shot at the solid shield scattered and fell at their feet. Qin Qiong waved Shuangjian to signal the army to continue advancing, and two waves of arrow rain arrived as scheduled, and the three rounds of arrow rain only took away a few unlucky soldiers.

The two armies were only a few steps apart, and countless bright silver spears suddenly appeared behind Cao Jun's big shield, Qin Qiong waved them apart, and the huge force shocked Cao Bing's spearman, and the daring soldiers behind him also shot together, blocking the spear with a shield in one hand, and the ring head knife suddenly shot, and the spear that stabbed straight was cut in two.

"Kill!"

The two armies are no longer fighting for tactics, they are fighting for who is ruthless and who is not dying!

Qin Qiong's tiger head gold armor weighed one hundred and thirty pounds each (according to the Sui and Tang Dynasties), a hammer hit the shield, the shield was suddenly torn apart, and the Cao soldiers hidden behind the big shield were also brain-splitting, Qin Qiong's martial arts were vividly displayed at this moment, the two golden gold armors were quite well matched, and the left and right were hard and deep to kill a bloody road, and everything that was touched by his gold armor was a piece of white flowers, which was miserable and disgusting.

Encouraged by this, the daring warriors behind him swung their shields and ring-headed swords to expand their range so that the other soldiers behind them could enter the Cao army's array. Qin Qiong was unstoppable, all his anger was accumulated on the two bright yellow gold armors, flying up and down, particularly eye-catching in the crowd, looking at Qin Qiong who had burst into the big array as if entering a no-man's land, Cao Ren's eyes were shattered, and a large number of spearmen waving the order flag surrounded Qin Qiong.

In the face of the surging pikemen, Qin Qiong was not afraid at all, but was faintly excited, the more Cao troops on his side, the weaker the relative Cao army in other places, which just gave him the opportunity to defeat the Cao army.

"Kill!" Qin Qiong waved the double stream and rushed up again.

Dozens of spears stabbed at him in unison, the corners of Qin Qiong's mouth cracked, the double spears were like a crusher, the ten man-eating spears were fragile and unbearable, and they were all shattered by the golden guns, and the huge force was transmitted to Cao Jun's hands through the handle of the half of the gun, and Qi Qi was bleeding from the tiger's mouth.

Ten people can't besiege and kill Qin Qiong, then one hundred and ten, Cao Ren waved the command flag and one hundred and ten pikemen surrounded him, but in the blink of an eye, the one hundred and ten pikemen stood there because of fear, waiting for Yang Shuo's soldiers to slash and kill unscrupulously.

Xu Chu is brave and fierce, and Qin Qiong is definitely not bad if he can fight with one of them, but such a shocking scene still frightened Cao Ren, and his previous self-confidence turned into a cold sweat because of Qin Qiong's leading charge.

Qin Qiong's rush made the Cao army's formation chaotic, and the awl pierced into the circle array under Cao Ren's cloth, so that the Cao army could not care about each other, and the soldiers of Yang Shuo's army, who were constantly swarming in, were also merciless, and the sword and shield hands cooperated with the pikemen under the leadership of the military Sima to wantonly harvest the lives of the Cao army who were in chaos.
