Chapter 189: Tiger Tooth Might

Yongtai four years.

In late January, just after the Lantern Festival in Dazhao, the frozen weather has gradually thawed, and the weather in the south has entered the peak of spring. However, on the vast prairie, it is still cold and windy. The two hundred battle borders of Da Zhao are fighting fiercely at this time. Because Da Zhao was very precautionary, and the cavalry of the border army was constantly harassing. So much so that the two enemy armies that invaded Dazhao did not reap much benefit, but they did not dare to go too deep, for fear of being surrounded and suppressed by Dazhao's army. Deeply influenced by Da Zhao, the surrounding countries have the habit of celebrating the New Year. It's just that when those invaders wanted to go home in December, they found that they didn't know when it began, and those border troops, which were not many in number, only less than 100,200,000, had actually built a defensive line at the dangerous pass in the rear. Although the border army was numerous in number, it was several times larger than the invaders. But the Tatar cavalry and Houjin soldiers, who thought they were elite and looked down on the soldiers of Great Zhao, were a little disdainful. What if the Great Zhao army took advantage of the entanglement and laid an improvised defensive line in the rear? How could it be possible to resist their way home?

Needless to say, several breakouts charged. But it was to let those barbarians thoroughly understand the power of the Dazhao soldiers, and they should be impressed. That kind of momentum, combat power. Let those invading barbarians think that they have encountered the top central ace army of Da Zhao. In fact, that's what they do. thinks that Da Zhao's central army has changed into the battle armor banner of the border guards, and wants to catch them off guard.

How could the Tatar and Houjin countries, which still invaded the border of Dazhao and harass and tempted during such a period, not be prepared for the situation that the back road of the invading army was blocked? Immediately, the two armies, numbering as high as 150,000 on each side, had already been prepared, and quickly drove to the borders of each side. Trying to attack at a very fast speed, on both sides, and swallow all the troops that Da Zhao blocked the back road in one bite. In this battle, Da Zhao was defenseless, even if Da Zhao mobilized troops from other places, it was not enough to fill in the lack of people, and if there were too many people, it would naturally be slow to assemble and mobilize. At that time, the two pieces of border army had already been eaten.

In the past, the Tatar state and the Later Jin state were doing their own thing, and most of them were really fighting the autumn wind as their main purpose. But this time, it was a temptation, and if there was a chance, he gnawed away Da Zhao's two border armies in one fell swoop.

The number of border troops was about 150,000 each. The two countries fought extremely loudly, and they each started a war with Da Zhao on both fronts, unable to make their central main station army gather strength. Then, with a high concentration of forces, they each flanked Da Zhao's border army on both sides. They have every reason to believe that they can win against Da Zhao with a small number of ordinary people. Now that the main station army is assembled, how can it defeat the small number of Dazhao army? The magnificent scene of Da Zhao back then was long gone, and they successfully fought the autumn wind again and again, winning more with less, which gradually gave them the illusion that the southerners were weak.

In fact, it is indeed weak, if it weren't for Zhao Zhe at any cost, he even relied on Yiyi to compile a set of standard martial arts and directly distribute them to the army for training, and use the army battle simulation competition to stimulate them fiercely. The Great Zhao army is really far from being the opponent of the two barbarian warriors in the land with strong folk customs.

But at this time, Da Zhao is different. After Zhao Zhe learned about the rapid growth of the Great Zhao army from various channels, he had every reason to believe that his army would fiercely deter the barbarian soldiers of the two countries.

Within the northern country. A giant war horse with a majestic physique to the extreme, with a head and tail that was four or five meters long. Iron hooves tread lightly on the frozen ground. Even the hard frozen soil that the shovel could not shovel was under the light step of the giant horse, and he stepped on an inch of footprints. The majestic legs above the horse's hooves, from the leg bones to the joints, have a layer of armor that seems to be made of black iron, layer upon layer. The whole black and shiny waistcoat encased every part of the whole horse. Each part is made of extremely textured texture, making it look like a war horse made entirely of ferrous metal. The lines of the entire vest are full of streamlining, the joints are made of soft and highly flexible materials inside, and the four hooves and knee joints are inlaid with hideous metal spikes, and the war horse is more and more like a magic horse coming out of hell. Those chilling spikes believed that this armor could stab people to death with a slight kick of the leg.

The war horse halter has a particularly unique shape, like a one-horned dragon. A long thorn two feet long was embedded in the halter. I believe that in this world, there is no war horse that can withstand the impact of this unicorn thorn.

The appearance of the warrior on the horse was even more ferocious and abnormal, and he was dressed in a thick black and somewhat old hideous battle armor covered with various scratches. A huge long sword, which was also dark, was held casually by the knight in his hand, as light as a feather. The knight's helmet is particularly complex and ferocious, and the strange mask made of the same material actually reveals a pair of deep and cold eyes, which makes people only feel chills all over their bodies at the sight of it, and they can no longer raise any strength.

Others may not know, but the knight knows. This specially made vest weighed about one hundred and fifty catties, and the armor on his body also exceeded one hundred catties, plus his big sword of thirty or forty catties, and his weight of one hundred and forty catties. The weight of this war horse reached four hundred and thirty catties. Ordinary war horses, even those very majestic war horses, have already been pressed to their knees with a weight of four hundred and thirty catties.

However, the war horse under his crotch could easily bear the weight, and his gait was light with ease, without any signs of being unsustainable.

Such a huge war horse like a monster, plus a knight with the same hideous shape, but with a steady movement. As vicious as a demon knight who has just stepped out of hell. Those who are inferior in strength may not be able to have the courage to fight him. Even those soldiers who fought a hundred battles would be terrified.

In the gloomy cold air, the knight drove his horse quietly. When the camera swept back, it was possible to find that there were almost more than 300 people dressed in the same style as him. All of them rode giant war horses that were countless larger than ordinary war horses, and all of them were black armor and black helmets. The only slight difference was that the war horse under their crotch was not assigned to the horse armor that exuded a fierce atmosphere, but used the ordinary scale armor of the heavy cavalry, covering some of the key points of the war horse.

In fact, even those ordinary scale armors weigh as much as thirty or forty pounds. Only some horses with outstanding physical strength can bear a knight armed to the teeth under such a heavy waistcoat. For example, the Hussar Army, which is the emperor's personal guard, is currently the only heavy cavalry army in Dazhao, and is qualified to give priority to the selection of war horses. But their war horses, compared to the war horses of the three hundred or dozens of cavalry in front, are like the difference between Chengren and children. Those war horses that were already extremely tall and strong in their eyes, under the oppression of those terrifying war horses, they didn't even dare to make a noise. Because those war horses can bear the total weight of knights and armor is only about two hundred and fifty catties, but they have already paid the price of slowing down their running speed.

Royal Guard, the titles of ace heavy cavalry. It has made every knight in the hussar army have an extremely strong sense of glory. Although they had also heard that there was also a top-level cavalry army under the emperor's command, which was extremely mysterious and never appeared in front of people. But when they saw that the army, which numbered only seven hundred, had not yet been fully formed, and had been assigned to their side of the cavalry, which consisted of only three hundred and fifty men. The so-called Huya sergeants and soldiers were so arrogant that they immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the members of the ace heavy cavalry.

The hussars have always believed that their own army is the glory of the emperor and the strongest army in the whole of Zhao. It's not comparable to the flamboyant shelves of the forbidden army, nor is it comparable to any other soldier. Especially after making meritorious contributions in several wars and fighting out of the sea of corpses and blood, they practiced hard and practiced standard martial arts. They confidently believed that even if they encountered the same number of Tatar kings, the post-gold ace army. There is only one result, and that is victory.

Dissatisfaction and provocation ensued, and the hussars, as one of the top armies of Great Zhao, naturally had many fierce warriors under it, and there was no shortage of people who were extremely strong. Nowadays, in other armies, the general flag commanding 100 people is mostly held by nine-rank level masters. However, in the hussar army, the masters of the nine grades are overwhelming, and they can't even serve as the small banner of the commander of ten people. In a small flag, it is extremely common for there to be two or three nine-rank masters, and the rest of them are all elites. Even the eight-rank master to be a small flag, it is very reluctant to compete for a small flag, only those who have reached the seventh grade, can be a small flag steadily.

Not to mention the general flag, the fifth product can make you easily become the one, but the sixth product will face a lot of competition. The general soldiers of thousands of households are often masters of three or four grades. And the commander of the first guard, the worst one is also a third grade, three second grades, and one is a first grade. And their military commanders and deputy commanders are all well-known first-class masters.

How could such a powerful army put up with that half of the cavalry army, which only had more than 300 people, walking in front? How could they endure them wearing such strong armor and riding such huge and majestic horses?

In the army, the strong is king. Since ancient times, there has been no shortage and fear of all kinds of challenges. But they also knew that the army was by no means weak, so they were directly under the command of their guards and were instigated to challenge the Hufang army. The guard commanders of the hussars, if placed in other armies, are qualified to serve as army commanders. Naturally, they are all people who are deeply loved by soldiers and brave warriors.

However, they were soon defeated, and the defeat was a mess. The other party came out of the horse, just a pawn who claimed to be the bottom of the martial arts in the Huya Army.
