Chapter 80: Breakthrough (II)
Chapter 80: Breakthrough (II)
Wanyan Haiya was fully clothed, and led three hundred heavily armored iron cavalry to break into the ranks of the Zhao army, and the heavy armored iron cavalry of the Liao army was invincible and knocked the Zhao army's foot soldiers on their backs.
"The heavy armored iron cavalry of the Liao army!"
Someone in the crowd exclaimed, the Liao army claimed to have nearly 300,000 people controlling the strings, but the Liao army's heavy armored iron cavalry was only 8,000! The 8,000 heavy armored iron cavalry is the treasure pimple of the Liao army, and the Liao army has invested in the construction of this heavy armored iron cavalry with valuable high-quality fine iron and excellent war horses. The Liao Army's heavy armored iron cavalry only belongs to the Liao Emperor Wanyan Shengcong, except for the Liao Emperor Wanyan Shengcong, no one has the right to mobilize the Liao Army's heavy armored iron cavalry. What is the origin of these Liao troops!
The appearance of the Liao army's heavy armored iron cavalry greatly deterred the Zhao army, and the Zhao army's team was obviously panicked, and many soldiers began to flee out of fear to avoid the Liao army's heavy armored iron cavalry.
"Pikemen! Stab! ”
Lin Xin shouted and commanded the spears around him to stab at the Liao army's heavily armored iron cavalry.
"Drink!"
"Go!"
With the angry shouts of Zhao's soldiers, the spears were like a forest, and dozens of spears stabbed at the Liao army's iron cavalry that rushed to the front.
The effect of the spears against the heavy armored iron cavalry of the Liao army was not satisfactory, and more than a dozen spears stabbed at the heavy armored iron cavalry of the Liao army. Except for the two who were dismounted from their horses, the rest of the Liao army who were stabbed were unharmed.
The Liao army's heavy armor and iron cavalry were covered with armor up to the knees, and the horses were protected by leather armor from head to tail, exposing only the eyes, nose, ears, tail, and four hooves, and even had iron armor protection in key parts. The armor of the Liao army's heavy armor iron cavalry is made of fine iron, and the armor of the military attache is made of iron. The heavy armor of the Liao army is forged by the cold forging method introduced from the border town of Ningxia, and the defensive effect is wonderful. It's so hard to get anywhere to start.
The Heavy Armor Iron Cavalry appeared in response to the increasing intensity of the war. As the war became more and more intense, people began to pay attention to the protection of cavalry, and the armor of cavalry developed from only covering the front chest and back to covering the whole body, and then the horses also began to wear armor to enhance their defense. During the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, with the invention and widespread use of the stirrup, the stability of the cavalry on the horse was greatly enhanced, and the cavalry was able to wear heavier armor, which made the emergence of large-scale heavy armored cavalry possible.
The heavy armored cavalry has a strong defensive ability and impact power, and is generally used for frontal breakthrough operations on the battlefield, but because of the heavy armor, the mobility of the heavy armored cavalry is poor, the combat adaptability is not strong, and the price is expensive, therefore, the heavy armored cavalry can rarely be seen after the Central Plains Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty. For more than 200 years since the founding of the Great Zhao Dynasty, there has not been a large-scale heavy armored cavalry. However, the nomadic regime in the north still attached importance to the development of heavy armored cavalry, and Menggu had a scale of 20,000 "Tiefutu" heavy cavalry in its heyday, and today's Liao State also has 8,000 heavy armored iron cavalry.
The Liao army's heavily armored iron cavalry was extremely brave, holding heavy spears in their hands, stabbing wildly everywhere, and where the spears reached, the Zhao army fell to the next piece.
"Drink!" There was a burst of cheers in the Zhao army, and He Tengxiao followed the prestige, but it was Lin Junchen who held a pair of iron hammers in his hands, approached a Liao army heavy armored iron horseman, and smashed a hammer into the chest of the Liao army's heavy armored iron horseman. There was a loud bang, and the armor on the chest of the Liao army's heavily armored iron rider was smashed and deformed, followed by a crisp sound of bones shattering.
The heavily armored iron cavalry of the Liao army, which was hit, vomited a mouthful of dark red blood and fell to his death.
"Lin Junchen is really powerful!" He Tengxiao couldn't help but sigh and praise.
Holding a pair of big hammers in his hand, he swung freely, and a hammer smashed the bones of the Liao army's heavy armor iron cavalry through the heavy armor, which showed that his arm strength was amazing, and the crisp sound of the bones shattering, I was afraid that all the sternums of the Liao army's heavy armor iron cavalry would be shattered by Lin Junchen's hammer.
"Lin Tiehammer is good!" Zhou Fuxing exclaimed when he saw this.
"Long live Lin Tiehammer!"
"Long live Lin Tiehammer!"
The morale of the Zhao army suddenly rose, Lin Junchen killed the Liao army's heavy armored iron cavalry with a hammer, the Liao army's heavy armored iron cavalry was not invincible, and the Zhao army's heavy armored iron cavalry was not as afraid of the Liao army's heavy armored iron cavalry as before, and the broken team began to gradually converge.
Lin Junchen seized the war horse of the Liao army's heavy armored iron cavalry, and instigated the war horse to kill into the iron armor torrent of the Liao army's heavy armored iron horse.
"Chop off the horse's legs!" He Tengxiao grabbed the reins of the horse, lay down on the side of the horse, and slashed the leg of a Liao army heavy armored iron horseman, the Liao army heavy armored iron horse fell off his horse, and the Zhao soldier who caught up picked up stones, axes, and hammers and smashed them indiscriminately, and the poor Liao army heavy armored iron horse was smashed all over the body and blood and bones, and died a tragic death with a muffled snort.
"The heavily armored iron horseback legs are only covered with leather armor, and knives and guns can enter!" He Tengxiao straightened up and shouted.
"Don't fight! Break out of the encirclement of the Liao army! Lin Xin gasped heavily and shouted, after a fierce battle, he was already physically exhausted, his physical strength was still overdrawn, the physical strength of the Phoenix Town Army can be imagined, if it is entangled with the Liao Army again, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Gather the team! Breakthrough! He Tengxiao gathered the surrounding soldiers and followed Lin Junchen to rush forward, trying to tear through the encirclement of the Liao army......
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
After a bloody battle, He Tengxiao finally broke through the encirclement of the Liao army and rushed to the bank of the Caohe River. The Liao army's light cavalry pursued relentlessly, biting the tail of the Zhao army's team, and from time to time bending bows and arrows to shoot the Zhao army at the rear of the team. Every string sound of the Liao army's light cavalry, there was a Zhao sergeant who hit the arrow.
After breaking out of the encirclement, the breakout battle turned into a chase battle, Zhao Jun panted, a bloody battle their originally weak physical strength was overdrawn to the limit, but no one dared to slow down, they all spread their feet and ran wildly for their lives, once they were caught up by the Liao army, they were dead.
After all, two legs could not outrun four legs, and the light cavalry of the Liao army quickly caught up with the Zhao army, wielding knives and wantonly slaughtering the running Zhao soldiers. Seeing that his comrades were slaughtered by the Liao army one by one, and the soldiers of Zhao didn't care about it, and continued to run wildly, He Tengxiao told them that as long as they ran to the bank of the Caohe River, they would be safe.
"Ignition! Hang the lights! Zhang Yuyang heard the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps faintly in the distance, and judged that He Tengxiao's breakthrough team was about to approach the bank of the Caohe River, and ordered the fire to be hung to guide He Tengxiao and them to run in this direction.
"Array, ready to receive He Qianhu!" Zhang Yuyang ordered in a deep voice.
The Pingshan Fort soldiers of the two hundred-household teams and the four hundred people scattered and lined up to meet He Tengxiao's breakthrough team.
"Run to the place where the lights are on!" He Tengxiao pointed to the lights not far away and shouted, "The brothers of Pingshan Fort are in front to meet us, don't rush into formation, run to the front of the team and spread around to the flank!" ”
"Shout to me, run towards the place where the lights are on, don't rush into the army formation of the brothers in Pingshan Fort, go around to the flank, and the offender will be killed immediately!" Lin Xin gasped and said to Yu Tianyuan, who was following him.
Yu Tianyuan nodded and shouted with the surrounding soldiers, reminding the soldiers of Phoenix City not to attack the military formation in front of them. It is taboo to attack the friendly army formation, once the army formation of the soldiers of Pingshan Fort is scattered, the people who meet on the shore will fall into chaos, and the chaos will be out of control, unable to stop the pursuing Liao army.
After approaching the military formation of the infantry of Pingshan Fort, He Tengxiao turned his horse's head around the flank, and the knights around him followed He Tengxiao.
But the soldiers who broke through from Phoenix City were not so orderly, and most of these soldiers and soldiers in Phoenix City had been frightened by the Liao army, and they only cared about saving their lives, and rushed in a straight line to the military formation formed by the soldiers of Pingshan Fort.
"Thief (him)!" Zhang Yuyang felt a headache when he saw a group of stragglers rushing towards the military formation in an orderly manner, "It's all (his) mother's shout!" Go around to the flanks! Otherwise, there will be no forgiveness! ”
"Go around to the flanks! Otherwise, there will be no forgiveness! ”
"Go around to the flanks! Otherwise, there will be no forgiveness! ”
"Go around to the flanks! Otherwise, there will be no forgiveness! ”
More than 600 soldiers and young men shouted in unison.
But with little effect, except for a small number of clever soldiers who realized that they could not impact the military formation after hearing the roar, gritted their teeth and covered their lower abdomen to go around to the flank, most of the young soldiers still rushed straight to the military formation.
"Thief (him)! Are they all deaf! Zhang Yuyang scolded (Niang) angrily, had to be ruthless, gritted his teeth and said, "Crossbowman!" Shoot the rebels! ”
A burst of crossbow arrows whizzed out, and the crossbowmen of Pingshan Fort showed mercy, most of the crossbow arrows were only fired in front of these rebels, and only a few of the crossbow arrows hit the rebels. After a flurry of crossbow arrows, the rebels learned to flank.
"Stop!"
Wanyan Haiya had already unloaded his heavy armor at this time and went into battle lightly to pursue Zhao Jun. Seeing that the lights were lit up in front of him, Yan Haiya raised his hand to stop the Liao army that was pursuing.
"Third Highness, why don't you continue to pursue Zhao Jun." The Liao army leader Azig (the position is probably the same as that of the battalion general of the Great Zhao Empire) leaned over to Wanyan Haiya's side and asked suspiciously. Ahead is the grass river, the Zhao army has retreated to a dead end, as long as the pursuit goes all the way, these remnants of the Zhao army will be cleared, why did the Third Highness withdraw at this juncture?
Wanyan Haiya was more thoughtful, carefully observing the military formation formed by the Zhao army not far away and the vague shadow of the ship behind the military formation, thinking for a while, and said: "Our army is alone in the depths, the Zhao people are deceitful, it is not appropriate to chase after them, pass the order, all the horses, immediately return to the camp to listen to the order!" ”
