The same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, and a roasted whole sheep can eat a thousand kinds of spicy chicken.

The thousand commanders in the Khitan army are also different.

The last time He Daxian personally killed the "little general", there was a big word "brave" written on his chest, so he was charging forward at all times, taking the lead, taking the lead, and being unstoppable! Full of heroism, he is really the best candidate to run for the Khitan "National Good General".

But this time, the "little general" Wu Lizhen wrote two big words on his chest: "leadership".

yes, that makes a lot of sense. How can you let the "leader" rush to the front? If even the "leader" wants to charge ahead, what else do you want these little soldiers to do! Do you want to eat here?

Therefore, after receiving Jeruzachel's instructions, the "little general" Wu Lizhen still stood still, did not move, but raised his hand to give a gesture to the centennial commander of the heavy cavalry team, so the hundred-man commander took more than 100 heavy cavalry who had already completed the formation, stepped on the heavy sound of horses' hooves, and began to accelerate forward.

The charge of the Khitan heavy cavalry group in the cold weapon era is definitely no less deterrent to the defender than the desperate charge of the large tank group in modern society.

Suddenly, the sky thundered, and the wind and clouds rolled. The dull and dense sound of horses' hooves like thunderstorm echoed in the narrow valley, and all the Tang soldiers on the city tower were so nervous that their hearts tightened.

After more than 100 heavy cavalry rushed out, another 200 light cavalry also moved behind the heavy cavalry at the signal of the "leader".

After the heavy cavalry ran out of a hundred meters, the formation quickly formed a column of two.

Obviously, this style of play is exactly the same as He Daxian's idea of breaking through the level for the first time, just staring at the tattered city gate.

After rushing into a distance of a hundred meters, dozens of Tang archers on the city tower finally shot the first and only wave of arrows. With a "Peng" sound, dense long arrows flew through the air and landed on the Khitan heavy cavalry who were running faster and faster, making a clanging sound. Unfortunately, only one of the horses of the Khitan heavy cavalry was accidentally shot in the knee by an arrow, and fell out with a pop, knocking the unlucky guy on his back half to death.

More than 100 cavalry, only one shot down, basically equal to no effect.

In fact, the armor of the Khitan heavy cavalry can only be regarded as a kind of "semi-armored heavy cavalry", which is far inferior to the famous "Macedonian heavy cavalry" in history, which wraps the whole body of the whole person, and wraps it into an impermeable iron can like a "super heavy cavalry" posture from top to bottom, but the balance between the two mutually restrictive factors of its war horse load capacity and conventional battlefield charge ability is very good.

The Khitan heavy cavalry could make long journeys without unarmouring, and even after arriving at their destination, they could go straight into battle without much preparation.

It is not unreasonable for the Khitan iron cavalry to run rampant all over the world, and every detail is strengthening their probability of success.

Rushed within fifty meters.

The Tang archers on the tower of the city only shot one arrow just now, and then scattered in a hurry, and ran for their lives along the city wall towards the mountains on both sides, obviously losing confidence in this line of defense. Only Huang Zhi was left standing directly above the city gate with five veterans, each holding a spear in his hand.

The wall directly above the gate is slightly wider and can be used to help you run. This is what General Zhao told him a thousand times, and the bidding gun must be assisted!

I only heard Huang Zhi shouting: "Ready, run, one, two, three!" After running five meters, six spears flew down from the city tower like six javelins, and fired in a volley into the Khitan heavy cavalry queue that was rushing towards in a dense formation.

The spear is different from the bow and arrow, the aerodynamic Plante-Grauille law brought about by the heavy weight and long rod effect, coupled with the sharp armor-piercing effect brought by a small piece of conical iron on the head, the so-called Khitan heavy cavalry armor, at this time is not enough.

I only heard a few muffled sounds in a row, and six javelins were fired, each of which hit the target, some penetrated directly through the cuirass of the cavalry, some plunged into the neck of the war horse, and even two penetrated a cavalryman, and then pierced the war horse that followed behind!

These six javelins knocked down eight Khitan heavy cavalry in one fell swoop!

The piercing sound was followed by the terrible screams of the dying horsemen of these winning bidders, and the continuous sound of horses rolling to the ground.

However, it was useless, the Khitan cavalry never fought alone!

More than 100 cavalry, 9 of them were killed by your round of arrows and javelins, aren't there more than 100 cavalry?

The Khitan heavy cavalry in the back ignored the miserable cries for help of those comrades who fell to the ground, continued to maintain their speed and quickly rushed into the city gate with concentration, and the two heavy cavalry in front of them raised two iron hammers and smashed on the simple and perfunctory city gate, just like the effect of He Daxian smashing the door, the powerful impact made the city gate instantly exploded into countless pieces of wood chips, flying all over the sky!

At the same time, Huang Zhi and the five javelinmen who had done something bad just now had already run to the other side of the city wall, grabbed the tree vines and climbed the mountain to escape!

The Khitan heavy cavalry penetrated the city gate, and in front of them was the wide valley bottom road, and the horses under the crotches of the cavalry immediately began to accelerate, and they couldn't pull it for joy! This is not surprising, because on the walls on both sides of the back of the broken city gate, there are two large portraits of the door gods!

These two paintings are two door gods when viewed closely, but when viewed from a distance, especially when combined with the cracks on the brick wall next to them, they are two big wolf heads with a diameter of more than two meters! Although the horse's eyes have a large viewing angle, their vision is far less clear than that of humans. In these two pictures of the door gods, the Khitan cavalry looks like the door gods that are commonly pasted on both sides of the gate in the Han people's homes, but in the eyes of the horses, they are two huge wolf heads!

Yes, He Daxian used the wolf's head to scare the Khitan horses again.

Why is Daxian such a high-quality person, this trick has already been used once, how can he still take it out?

He Daxian is not a mortal, as long as it is useful, it doesn't matter how many times you use it, then use it! Anyway, in the deployment of this defensive battle, this move is not the main trick, it is just a temporary increase in the speed of the Khitans' war horses.

He Daxian's routine of pretending to be forced, how can it be easily guessed by humans.

There are only two wolf heads, and although they are large, the degree of frightening of the horse is still limited, because the horse is not afraid of a small number of wolves, but of a large group of wolves.

For the Khitan heavy cavalry who rushed through the city gate, the war horse under the crotch automatically began to accelerate, and it is also easy to understand that after the war horse passed through some obvious obstacles such as the city gate, the vision in front of them was wide open, and they would be excited and speed up their pace.

So, none of the Khitan cavalry felt that there was anything wrong with it now, it was just that there was some thin smoke ahead, and there was still an obstacle to be solved!

Fifty meters in front of the smoke, there was a low wall that blocked horizontally, about seventy centimeters high, that is, the height of a desk, and the total width was about eighty meters long, occupying two-thirds of the width of the passage at the valley floor.

Under normal circumstances, a healthy adult war horse has no problem jumping over obstacles below a meter in height.

Just as He Daxian expected, the heavy cavalry who rushed in front did not have the idea of detouring from both sides, and without any hesitation, they rushed straight forward one after another and jumped directly over. And then on

Then they fell on the other side of the low wall, their heads cracked, and nearly thirty heavy cavalry men and horses were separated, piled up in various strange postures, and rolled together on top of each other.

The reason is actually very simple, the ground on the other side of the low wall has been dug half a meter deep, and a slope pit has been dug.

It is common for war horses to jump obstacles, but generally speaking, the ground height on both sides of the obstacle will be basically similar, so that after the war horse jumps over, there will be a basic misjudgment of the foothold. The Tang Army's trap was very simple, it was to dig half a meter deep on the other side of the barrier, and then spread black cinder powder on both sides.

In this case, both the cavalry and the horses will immediately mistake the ground height on both sides for the same height, because the ground color on both sides is the same, and it is just a temporary low wall built on flat ground. In addition, more than a dozen small stoves were specially arranged at the scene to burn leaves there, making the scene full of smoke and white, although the visual distance can still be maintained to twenty meters away, but at least the ability to accurately judge will be weakened.

Then the horse leaped with ease, the forefoot relaxed, ready to take on the cushion of the impact on the ground.

Who knows, why didn't it go to the end! Why is it still hanging in the air?

At this time, the horse will tense up for a moment, and the muscles on the ankles and calves will also tense at the same time, but at this moment, the horse's hooves suddenly touch the ground again.

The horse is an animal, and the muscles and bones of the animal are organic, not metal machines. Both muscle force and bone network support need to predict the timing and point of force. I don't believe you can try it yourself, for example, kicking the wall with your eyes open, you can kick it loudly, if you blindfold you, and then walk a few steps back and forth, left and right, do you dare to kick the wall at will with the same force?

Therefore, this simple trap caused seventy percent of the first batch of fifty Khitan heavy cavalry to cross the low wall, and seventy percent of the war horses were caught off guard, and their front hooves were immediately broken, and they all lay down on the ground with their front hooves, and at the same time lifted the cavalry on their backs out.

I still have a bad cold today, and I continue to have a splitting headache, and I only have one change, so I'm very sorry.
