088 Mo Dao is mighty
Xuan Yingwei was well-trained, and he set up a position in a few breaths, and more than 20 horse chopping knives pointed in all directions, like a hedgehog curled up in a ball!
"Shoot the arrows!"
The commander of the light cavalry of the state was also a man who was proficient in battle formation, and when he saw the enemy forming a circle, he ordered his sergeants to shoot arrows first to test it.
You must know that Xuan Yingwei is Wen Yuan's baby bump, except for protecting Guo Jia this time, he has always been by Wen Yuan's side, these personal guard battle array skills, needless to say, weapons and equipment are not as good as some generals!
Xuanyingwei was wearing iron armor, fifty paces away, arrows could not enter, only to see those arrows shot on the layers of wrought iron armor, only a dent, even if they were occasionally shot in the hands and feet, it was not enough to kill people. On the contrary, it was Xuan Yingwei who shot back with his bow, and in the blink of an eye, he shot down a few light horsemen in the state!
And the state light cavalry at this time showed extremely good riding skills, seeing the loss of long-range shooting, a few breaths formed a sharp array, more than ten knights in the front row formed a row of protruding cones at the top, all the two spears lit up with a little cold light, and more than ten iron horsemen behind them wielded swords, waiting for the front row of comrades to tear a hole, and then went up to kill!
"Destroy them!" Zhou Cang roared, and the long knife splashed layers of gravel and dust, like an angry violent bear fiercely towards the enemy's light horse! With a few swishing sounds, a rapid rain of arrows whistled overhead, and suddenly several light horsemen fell off their horses, and before they even screamed, their bodies were trampled and twisted by the dense horse's hooves like drumbeats!
"Die to me!" Zhou Canghu roared, the cavalry had not yet approached, and the big sword in his hand swept through the thousands of troops in the air!
Just listen to the pop twice! Two clouds of blood rain stirred up in front of Zhou Cang! I saw that on the right side of Zhou Cang's body, a huge horse's head flew into the sky! And on the left, a knight was cut off on the spot!
Then I only heard a bang, and Zhou Cang was also hit by the galloping war horse and flew out! However, he made a protective move in time, although he flew upside down three meters away, he just rolled on the spot, and continued to scream and pounce on the enemy horseman!
Seeing that the other party was so strong, the iron knight of the state suddenly vented his anger! But now on the galloping horse, they can only rush up, and before they can get close, what awaits them is a bright sword forest!
Nowadays, the standard equipment of Xuanyingwei is a pair of wrought iron fish scale armor weighing 30 catties, a pig iron pocket of 4 catties and 6 taels, a two-stone bow, 30 wolf tooth arrow clusters, and a ring knife, a dagger, and a seven-foot chopping saber in the hand as the main battle weapon.
The horse chopping knife, the beginning of the Han Dynasty, has been used until the end of the cold weapon and gradually disappeared, is the most powerful weapon for infantry melee against cavalry! He has made great achievements in history, the famous general Yue Fei, who is both wise and brave, has defeated the fast and brave golden soldiers and iron cavalry with slow infantry. This feat, which has always been difficult for soldiers to understand, is actually because of its improvement and good use of the ancient sword of Ma Longquan, a sharp weapon in the field.
In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the horse chopping knife of the Qi army was specially used to deal with the Tatar cavalry, cutting the horse's legs and cutting the head, so that the Tatars did not dare to attack for several years.
The horse chopping knife cast by Wenyuan has some traces of the Mo knife in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the blade is three feet long, the handle is four feet long, the blades are open on both sides, and it weighs more than 20 catties! It is a veritable heavy weapon of great destruction.
Tang Mo knife began to be popular before and after Gaozong's disclosure to the tenth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty. At first, the Modao was used to fight against the Turkic cavalry, and later it was popular in the armies to deal with the "Four Yis" of the Tang Dynasty, which was dominated by cavalry. In the Tang Dynasty, the perfect system of the festival made the army's equipment and training to be regularized, and the Mo knife became one of the main combat weapons of the Tang infantry, becoming a conventional equipment, and the establishment of the system made the towns recruit troops and horses, and established the cavalry of the middle and large universities, and the cavalry played an important role, which made the weapon of the restraint cavalry - the Mo knife was popular until the late Tang Dynasty.
Wen Yuan once saw a cultural relic of a Tang Mo knife in a museum in his previous life, and was immediately attracted by its stylish shape and fierce murderous aura, so when he came to this era, Wen Yuan always hoped to be able to equip his troops.
It's just that although the Mo Dao is extraordinary, it is difficult to promote the whole army for various reasons.
First of all, the production process of the Mo knife is quite complicated, and it takes a lot of refining steel, in the past, Wen Yuan had little money and lack of food, and the pikemen who were easy to train into the army naturally became the main force in Wen Yuan's army, and now Wen Yuan is already a county guard, and the income from money and food plus the large amount of extra money sent by the Zhen family can finally support Wen Yuan to produce Mo knives in small quantities, and the three hundred Mo knives that have just been made are undoubtedly all allocated to the most elite Xuan Yingwei.
Secondly, the Mo knife is too heavy, Rao is Wen Yuan gives the soldiers under his tent three meals a day, and the physique of the soldiers of the Julu Army is obviously thicker than that of other soldiers, but even so, because no one in the melee soldiers has a standard configuration of more than 20 catties of ripe iron armor, if you add the Mo knife weighing 22 catties, many people can't afford it!
Now, more than a dozen Xuanying guards came out neatly with shiny Mo knives in their hands, like a bright sword forest, and before they fought, they had already made the opponent emboldened!
"Unstoppable!" "I'm invincible!"
More than a dozen Xuanying guards shouted violently! There was a faint power of thousands of troops, and I saw that the more than ten Mo knives were like horses, and the cold light appeared, and the cavalry company in the front row led the horses and slashed to the ground! Those who were slashed either had their hands and legs cut off, or their heads were in different places, and their heads and legs were scattered, and the surging blood and broken internal organs splattered all over the ground!
In the first battle of Modao, there was such a might, and the few light horsemen who rushed to escape in the end were colorless, and when they saw their companions end up like this, they vomited, where is there still a fighting spirit?
Xuan Yingwei also looked at the new weapon in his hand for the first time in disbelief, and was secretly shocked by its power.
"Don't let them run!" Zhou Cang greeted and rushed straight into the cavalry formation, and the fifty-eight-pound large Mo knife slashed Huashan with one move and slashed at the head of a Bingzhou cavalryman!
The cavalry of the state raised their spears and stood hard, only to hear the sound of a click, and the solid gun shaft made of pear wood broke like wheat straw, and the cavalry of the state was split into several sections with the horses!
The remaining soldiers woke up like a dream at this time, and they turned their horses' heads and fled westward! The Xuanying guards, who were outflanked on both sides, slaughtered like chopping melons and vegetables, and only one of the thirty Bingzhou cavalry was left in a blink of an eye!
But this cavalryman was tall and extremely agile, and just as his companion was being slain, he had fled westward! The war horse has not increased speed for a while, Zhou Cang's pair of scuds have already chased after him, and with a violent roar, it is a sword that is extremely domineering, and the cavalry actually raised a spear to block the grid, don't you know that Zhou Cang's innate divine power?
