Chapter Seventy-One: The Power of the Heavy Armor Rider
Heavy armor cavalry is a unique kind of cavalry in this era, refers to the whole body from people to horses are covered with heavy armor, weapons such as spears, spears, the main way of combat relies on the impact of men and horses plus huge quality to kill the enemy, can be called the tank of this era, such as the famous Xiliang heavy cavalry in the Xiliang army of Anxi Protectorate, is one of the best. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn fact, the real heavy armor rider has very strict requirements for people and horses, such as the war horse must be a Dawan horse in the Western Regions, the knight's arm length must be more than four feet, and the whole body must be covered with double-layer composite armor, etc., and Zhao Min tossed out is far from the real heavy armor horse, and both people and horses cannot meet the requirements. After all, due to the limited conditions, Zhao Min only had more than 100 war horses on hand, not all of them were high-quality war horses, and the knights had not undergone strict and arduous professional training, and even the weapons did not all meet the requirements; Fortunately, I have thousands of sets of fish scale armor and armor from Tan Island, and due to the detachability of the fish scale armor, it is not difficult to change it to a vest, so I put together a plausible copycat version of the heavy armor ride. The only advantage is that the whole body of the heavy armor rider is covered with heavy armor, so Zhao Min finally put the stirrup saddle horseshoe that he never forgot on his copycat version of the heavy armor riding equipment, anyway, he couldn't see a few more gadgets if he was tightly wrapped, and there was no risk of leaking.
At this time, Jiang Qin's raised left hand was clenched into a fist, and more than 100 heavily armored horsemen began to ride their horses and stride, slowly accelerating, forming a trotting state. It was only when more than a hundred knights and Jiang Qin converged that they saw him wave his left hand suddenly, taking the lead, leading the heavily armored horse to accelerate again from the trot, and finally formed a charge!
The rumbling hooves of the horses resounded like thunder, and the dust and noise stirred up, although there were only more than 100 horses, they seemed to step out of the momentum of thousands of troops and horses, and they were unstoppable! At this time, the rebels finally panicked, and saw the heavy armored cavalry charging from the opposite side, and those who had not experienced that thrilling scene could not imagine it at all! Most of the inexperienced soldiers stood on the spot in fright, at a loss, and even the timid ones were already sitting on the ground! Some of the sober generals hurriedly shouted to drive the soldiers to raise crossbows and aim, but first, the formation was chaotic, and secondly, the soldiers had lost their courage, and it was difficult to even aim; In such a situation, a few sparse crossbow arrows are not a threat to the heavy armored cavalry at all, and in the face of heavy cavalry with thick armor, there is nothing to be done with just a few arrows. I saw that the heavy armor riders were like galloping tanks, knocking everything in front of them into powder! Not to mention the crossbowmen who are close to the cavalry, even other melee arms can't stop the heavy cavalry charge at all! For a while, when I rode over, a group of people turned over on their backs, and flesh and blood flew sideways! The rebels can only rush around the heavy cavalry, and there is no resistance!
Jiang Qin actually led the cavalry into battle for the first time, and his original intention was just to use the impact of the heavy armored cavalry to disintegrate the local formation, but he didn't expect the effect of the heavy cavalry to charge the formation so well, and only one charge brought the entire formation of two thousand people to pieces! The enemy in front of him was powerless to parry, and of course he wanted to raise his goal to a higher level, and he no longer bothered to hunt down these worthless ordinary soldiers. Jiang Qin set his eyes on the enemy's general flag, where the general flag is, it must be the local general! With a wave of his hand, all the heavy armored horsemen followed his footsteps, turned a small corner, and rushed straight to the flag.
Facts have proved that in the era of cold weapons, the heavy cavalry is an almost insoluble existence, unless it can stick to the footsteps of the heavy cavalry, or make the heavy cavalry unable to charge at the beginning, otherwise as long as the heavy cavalry gets the space to speed up the charge, there is almost no flesh and blood to stop it! At this time, the commander of the rebel army proved this with his life. I saw the heavy armor riding everywhere, the stump arm was broken, the flesh and blood were blurred, even the rebel commander was not spared, Jiang Qin didn't even see which one was the leading general, the flag was on the path of the heavy armor cavalry charge turned into a pile of minced meat, poor and dignified division of the main general, at least also the chief officer of the fifth grade, in this asymmetrical war, he ended up with a result that he died without even leaving his name!
After completely slaughtering the enemy's commander, even Jiang Qin had to order the heavy cavalry to stop the charge. Don't look at the fierce charge of the armored cavalry just now, but the price paid for this just moment is that more than 100 knights consume huge physical strength! You must know that the heavy armor riding alone weighs more than 100 catties with people and horses, plus the weight of the knight and the weight of the horse, the horse has to bear nearly a thousand catties of weight to run with all its might, and the burden consumption can be imagined! What's more, they are just copycats, whether the quality of the war horses or the training of the knights is not up to standard, none of the charges of the talented people can barely maintain the formation, which can be regarded as a super level of performance! Jiang Qin was keenly aware that several war horses had already begun to tremble under his feet, so he had to order to stop the charge.
Fortunately, at this time, the main general of the enemy army has been lost, the dragons are leaderless, and some of the remaining enemy soldiers have dropped their weapons and fled, and some are crazy and waving their blades, but more of them choose to stay put, their eyes are dazed, although the blades in their hands have not been discarded, the direction of the tip of the blade is facing the ground. It seems that Jiang Qin's shouting just now was not ineffective, but it was just because the enemy army was still in existence and did not surrender due to the suppression of the generals; Now the situation has become clear, the commander is dead, the chain of command is completely paralyzed, and the sergeants have no fighting spirit; In addition, even the main general's personal guards have not been able to survive a round of heavy armor riding, not to mention these ordinary soldiers who are no more than half of their armor? The choice at this time is to either resist or accept surrender. Surrender may still have a way to live, resistance is certain death, how to choose everyone knows, but out of herd mentality, they have not yet put down their blades.
As soon as Jiang Qin saw the expressions of these rebels, he expected it, and immediately seized the opportunity to let his subordinates shout: "Surrender or kill!" Resist and die! ”
With the "Surrender or Kill!" Resist and die! Resounding throughout the battlefield, the first rebel soldier finally couldn't stand the pressure and dropped his blade to the ground. Then, like a chain reaction, the rebel soldiers threw their blades on the ground, and for a moment they heard the sound of their blades falling to the ground. Soon, only a few small circles on the entire battlefield were still holding together and refusing to be bound, and the rest of the thousands of soldiers all chose to surrender on the spot!
Jiang Qin was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly arranged for his soldiers to come forward to collect their weapons and drive the surrendered prisoners together. At this time, he frowned when he saw that there were less than a hundred resistance groups on the field. The one who can not surrender under such circumstances must be Lu Xu's diehard, and at this time, he needs to kill the chickens to show the surrendered monkeys so that Yu Liwei can do it, so he glanced at his side, and the guards understood, raised the red order flag in his hand and waved, and the hundreds of crossbows that had already been prepared in the rear immediately set up to aim at the enemies who had not yet surrendered. Jiang Qin turned to face the pile of prisoners besieging the city, and said loudly: "The king of the North Sea is lenient, but it does not mean that he can wantonly indulge the enemy, when the enemy is stubborn, it is like this" With a wave ......of his halberd fingers, hundreds of crossbows were fired in response, and hundreds of arrows as thick as children's arms pierced the sky, rushing into the last enemy army with a breathtaking roar, bringing a rain of blood, and the last enemy soldier's tragic cry before death!
Seeing that there was no more resistance in the field, Jiang Qin turned around and ignored the prisoners. At this time, Liwei is over, there is no need to talk to the captives anymore, the matter of showing grace is naturally left to the king of Beihai to do, there is no need to be greedy for the merit of heaven and steal the limelight from the lord; As an official as a man, Jiang Qin still understands these truths. This attack can be regarded as a complete victory, and Jiang Qin is also a little complacent. So he left 500 men to clean up the battlefield, and the rest of the sergeants all escorted the prisoners and marched with him to Pingshou City.
