"Daming, Ye Yingwu is here!" A figure in gold armor crashed directly into the panicked cowardly sergeant Xue, and the white tassel spear in his hand was fiercely whipped on a Mongolian centurion, and the Mongolian centurion was so panicked that he was beaten off the horse. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Before the centurion could get up, the man had already grabbed the reins of the horse, and the horseman stood up, and let out a long neigh, and then the two hooves of the horse in front of him stomped heavily on the centurion's chest. The centurion was suddenly hit so hard that a mouthful of blood spurted out. The surrounding Mongolian cavalry all looked at the people killed in this sloping field in amazement, pondering what he had just said.

The Ming ・・・・・・ Ye Yingwu, the country name of the Southern Barbarians opposite is the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor they are now in power is not called "Ye Yingwu"!

The Mongolian soldier hadn't come back to his senses yet, and the figure had already slashed at him, looking straight at the cowardly Xue Jun who was close at hand but no one had caught up with him, who else could this person be if it wasn't Ye Yingwu?!

The sound of heavy horses' hooves and the sound of blades waving came at once, and hundreds of tower-like figures appeared in front of the cowardly Xue Jun. Even the green hills in the distance, the dark clouds rolling down in the sky, were obscured by these figures.

The horses' hooves shook the earth, and the whole earth trembled violently.

Na Muhan's originally somewhat gloomy and angry face turned pale.

Although he had never seen an enemy dressed up like this, he was a person who was familiar with history books and military books after all, so at the first glance of these figures, he knew what the other party was.

Armored Ride!

All kinds of troops in the world have their disadvantages and advantages, such as the Mongolian light armored cavalry, which has extremely high movement speed and assault ability, but is much worse in protection, and the light armor or leather armor on their bodies has no way to block the shooting of arrows and the close chopping of knives and axes; Although the heavy armored soldiers of the Ming army have strong protection and lethality, their mobility is relatively poor, and it is easy to be caught by people and successfully attack. Therefore, these classes must be used together to maximize their strengths and cover up their weaknesses, otherwise even if they are reckless, they will be quickly defeated by the enemy who finds the pattern of attack.

This is also why so many strong armies throughout the ages are generally mixed arms, not to say which strong army can be invincible with only one type of troops, even if it is the Mongolian cavalry, there are no heavy troops and foot soldiers following behind, and they are helpless in the face of the enemy's camps and cities.

However, there is such a class, because it is strong enough, so in the past dynasties, this branch of the army is generally not mixed with the rest of the army, but remains in the middle army or sits in the rear, as the last killer weapon against the army or the last reliance to turn the tide!

And this class is a combination of armored cavalry, cavalry and heavy armor, which can easily crush the existence of any other class! In history, Li Shimin, the general of the Kaitang Dynasty, once led his armored cavalry wearing Mingguang armor to sweep the entire Central Plains, laying the foundation for hundreds of years of national fortune in the Tang Dynasty, and the majesty of the armored cavalry can also be seen from this.

But correspondingly, not everyone can afford to have armored cavalry, otherwise there would not be so many complicated tactics and tactics for 5,000 years, and the two sides will directly send armored cavalry to push over. This is probably the biggest disadvantage of armored cavalry.

There are many requirements for the formation of armored horses, first of all, they are qualified war horses, which must be tall horses and strong horses, otherwise ordinary horses are wearing heavy armor, and then carrying the same heavy armored cavalry, they have to be directly tired and lie down. This is also the reason why Mongolia has not developed armored horse, because the Mongolians are accustomed to Mongolian bantam horses, although this kind of horse has strong endurance, but it is definitely not a tall horse, there is no way to reflect the heroic image of armored horsemanship, not to mention for the time being, the speed of running after wearing armor must be limited again, and the bantam horse is small after all, and there are great defects in the load, so the Mongolians are simply very smart and did not try at all, and the Mongolian cavalry should also be regarded as an out-and-out light cavalry.

Secondly, as an armored horse, there is a high demand for the heavy armor on the soldiers and the soldiers themselves, which means that enough funds are needed to support them, but this is nothing for the wealthy Ming. And the selection of soldiers is even simpler, because the Ming army has a large number of heavily armored soldiers, as long as they have appropriate horseback training, they can basically be trained into armored horses, not to mention that even with the financial and material resources of the Ming Dynasty, it is already good to be able to maintain an armored cavalry of hundreds of people, after all, hundreds of armored horses means that there are at least thousands of support personnel behind this, responsible for the transportation of armor, the breeding of war horses, the carrying of weapons and so on.

Even when the national strength of Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty reached its heyday, in fact, only the white soldiers of the Western Army in the army could be counted as armored cavalry, and the number of white soldiers was not very large, which shows the strict requirements for the formation of this armored cavalry, and in the Southern Song Dynasty, although the wealth was increasing, there was no suitable war horse, and the number of heavily armored soldiers was not very large, and the imperial court did not have the conditions to form armored cavalry, and naturally there was no way to reproduce this kind of military that had led China to the peak.

With the development of the Ming Dynasty's national strength and the recovery of Hexi, there was finally a suitable war horse and enough funds, so Ye Yingwu immediately started the formation plan of the armored cavalry, but the armored cavalry is an armored cavalry after all, and such a gold-swallowing giant beast is difficult to maintain a very large scale even if it is the Ming Dynasty, so only Ye Yingwu's five hundred battles are guarded by cavalry, becoming the only armored cavalry team in the Ming Dynasty.

And today, these five hundred armored horsemen who have been holding back for too long have finally found their place. This is also why Ye Yingwu had no fear, and directly led the army to meet the cowardly Xue army, and the cavalry of the Praetorian Guard in the distance did not rush over to support.

The five hundred armored horsemen were like moving mountains, and from far and near, the whole land trembled as the cavalry moved forward, and the billowing smoke and dust stirred up with the horses' hooves to stir up the earth, and the wind blew to obscure the sky and the sun. Looking at these behemoths from far and near, all the Mongolian cavalry had already been frightened, they had seen the cavalry of the Ming army, and they had also seen the heavy armored soldiers of the Ming army, but in the face of such heavy armored soldiers riding on heavy armored war horses, they had a sense of powerlessness from the heart.

Including Na Muhan couldn't help but gasp, because he remembered that it was clearly written in the book, sometimes even the tripping horse could not stop the charge of the armored cavalry, and the only way to deal with the armored cavalry was to fight hard, with the armored cavalry against the armored cavalry, so that these two giant beasts that seemed to have awakened from the flood desolation competed.

But there are only light cavalry in the Mongol army, where did the armored cavalry come from?!

"Spread out, spread out!" Namuhan gave the order in vain, and the armored cavalry had already broken into the Mongolian cavalry formation in an instant, and the maces, horse lances, giant axes and other weapons in their hands were like a death sentence, and everywhere they went, there was only blood!

A Mongolian cavalryman was killed by the roaring armored cavalry, some were smashed off the back of their horses by the heavy weapons in their hands, some were directly pierced through the chest by the irresistible force of the spear, and even more were directly knocked to the ground by the armored cavalry, and were soon trampled into pulp by the cavalry whistling behind!

The armored cavalry rushed into the light cavalry formation, just like these Mongol cavalry slaughtered into the Ming army's infantry formation, boundless blood, fire and killing, or in other words, a one-sided slaughter!

Na Mu Han's face was already pale, and the hand holding the reins trembled slightly, looking at the five hundred armored cavalry in front of him walking back and forth among the thousands of cowardly Xue army cavalry, as if entering a no-man's land, at this moment Na Mu Han even had the heart to apologize for his sins with death.

But he knew that he had no room for maneuver now, compared to armored cavalry, the only remaining advantage of light cavalry was flexibility, if Namuhan did not have the ability to take advantage of this advantage now, waiting for these cowardly Xue troops was only the total annihilation. As for the Ming army foot soldiers who were almost swallowed by the cowardly Xue army, Na Muhan had already taken care of it.

The whole army will soon be scattered, where can we still manage to attack the flank of the trench and cut off the Ming army?

And now the scene presented in front of Na Muhan's eyes is that the cavalry of the Cowardly Xue Army have been frightened by this armored cavalry that is like a god descending, and the second soul has ascended to heaven, where is the heart to think about how to fight them?

"Quick, assemble, retreat!" Na Muhan gave the order to retreat without hesitation, and the guards behind him hurriedly blew the horn, but before the horn sounded, several arrows had already broken through the air, one of which directly pierced the guard's chest.

The Praetorian Guard cavalry, who had been watching the play from afar, had already solved the entangled team of 1,000 people of the Cowardly Xue Army, like a tiger descending the mountain and rushing over, and the target was where Namuhan's general flag was!

It is true that the armored cavalry scattered the Mongol army, but the greatest credit is still under the banner of Namuhan's generals, and whoever can capture Namuhan will have more credit than defeating the cowardly Xue army. So even if he knew that this was the debut of the armored cavalry and should give them plenty of room to play, Jiang Tie still couldn't help but want to get a piece of the pie, and it was the biggest one.

"Protect the prince!" The captain of the guard suddenly turned red, the Southern Barbarian's arrow only shot down the personal guard next to Namuhan, and did not aim at Namuhan, whose target was obvious, and his intention did not need to be thought about to know, the Southern Barbarian wanted to capture him alive.

There are armored cavalry invincible in the front, and there are Janissary cavalry on the flanks coming quickly, it is a person who understands that the Xue army is more than auspicious in this battle, but whether it is Namuhan or these guards, they are gritting their teeth, and the golden eagles on the grassland, even if they fight to the end, there is no reason to surrender to the enemy!

"Get around and kill from between the armored cavalry and the Praetorian cavalry!" Namuhan immediately said decisively, waving his hand fiercely, "Gather all the troops that can be assembled!" ”

Now the whole battlefield is in chaos, even if it is the cowardly Xue army that can fight well, it has long been in chaos at this time, but the cowardly Xue army is the cowardly Xue army after all, and the strong army tempered by years of blood and fire cannot be defeated so easily, without waiting for Namuhan's order, in fact, the various commanders below have been consciously collecting the army, but they have not succeeded, because the movement trajectory of the Ming army's armored cavalry is also obvious, whenever there is a Mongolian army that begins to assemble, the armored cavalry will directly turn around and rush over, Scatter this group of Mongol cavalry.

Originally, this battlefield was located between the flank of the trench and the camp, which was not wide, and the Mongolian army was divided into two halves by the trench, so it was easy to move back and forth on both sides of the trench when attacking just now, but now as the Mongolian army on both sides of the trench fell into chaos, the cavalry could not take care of jumping back and forth, which was also more difficult for the already chaotic cowardly Xue army to assemble.

This piece of the battlefield originally allowed thousands of foot soldiers of the Ming army and thousands of cavalry of the cowardly Xue army to fight, and it was still open, but later these behemoths with armored cavalry rushed into the formation with the momentum of crushing the world and the world, and the cavalry of the Praetorian Guard was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and rushed over with a roar, and the entire battlefield suddenly seemed narrow, and the Mongolian generals could not even find their subordinates in the chaos, let alone assemble the army.

However, Rao is like this, Namuhan still quickly gathered thousands of cavalry, after all, his general flag is here, plus the hundreds of people of the personal guard cavalry, the target is relatively large, and the surrounding Mongolian cavalry will naturally subconsciously gather here.

The armored cavalry had apparently also spotted the target here, and they had instigated their horses to rush here. Not to mention the Praetorian Guard cavalry, the purpose of their coming is Namuhan!

"Jiang Tie came out to grab credit at this time, it's really shameless." Looking at the Praetorian Guard cavalry who were also approaching, Xiao Yangzi couldn't help but scold, because he was wearing an iron helmet and an iron mask on his head, so his voice sounded like an urn, but no one dared to peek at the anger in this voice.

"Haha, this Jiang Tie grabbing credit can be seen accurately!" Ye Yingwu also rode his horse to the front of the armored horse, his body was not suitable for wearing heavy armor, so Ye Yingwu did not force himself, but the gold chain mail originally tailored by the Ministry of Industry for His Majesty the Emperor was already a kind of armor above the light armor and under the heavy armor, and because of the materials and craftsmanship, the protective ability alone is no less than the ordinary heavy armor, which is why Ye Yingwu has no fear and dares to rush to the front single-handedly.

Looking at the chaotic cowardly Xue Jun in front of him and the fluttering Namuhan General Flag not far away, Ye Yingwu reached out and pulled down the iron mask on his helmet, leaving only two eyes still exposed, this always deep dark black eyes burst out with terrifying killing intent at this time: "Capturing Namuhan alive is my credit!" ”

Before the words fell, Ye Yingwu whipped his war horse fiercely and rushed towards Namuhan first.

Xiao Yangzi and the other guards were suddenly startled, and they couldn't take care of other enemies, and the five hundred armored horses roared and chased after Ye Yingwu closely, guarding the left and right. And Xiao Yangzi, who was protected by layers of iron armor, could only smile wryly at this time, grabbing the credit, whether it was him or Jiang Tie, who would dare to rob His Majesty?

"Brothers, Your Majesty personally led the army to support, and our Divine Guard Army can't let Your Majesty down, follow Lao Tzu," Yang Bao watched Ye Yingwu lead the armored cavalry to charge, and immediately shouted loudly, "Kill the Tartars!" ”

"Kill the Tartars!" The soldiers of the Divine Guard Army and the Zhendong Army, who were originally pressed and beaten by the cowardly Xue Army, were quite embarrassed, and even almost wiped out the whole army, and at the same time roared and followed Yang Bao and Bian Juyi to move forward, and the exhaustion in the limbs had already dissipated when they saw the flag in front of them that symbolized His Majesty the Ming Emperor, and were replaced by only hot blood and strong indelible killing intent!

Although he knew that Ye Yingwu was here, Na Muhan did not have the courage to take these light cavalry of the Cowardly Xue Army to collide with the armored cavalry head-on, after all, what he had to do now was to do his best to protect these cavalry and leave more available forces for Mongolia to take the next step, instead of giving all of Mongolia's biggest reliance, the Cowardly Xue Army, all here.

After all, the armored cavalry did not move as fast as the light cavalry, so there was a gap between the armored cavalry coming from the west and the Praetorian Guard cavalry coming from the east, and it was this gap that Namuhan wanted to grasp. All the Ming troops came rushing for his banner, as long as his banner was left behind, the Mongolian cavalry in front could take the opportunity to rush out of as many gaps as possible!

It's just that Na Muhan still miscalculated one step after all.

"Commander, look, Your Majesty has personally led the charge of the team!" A sharp-eyed man shouted.

Jiang Tie, who was galloping wildly, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked up, and sure enough, Ye Yingwu, who was supposed to be behind the armored cavalry, didn't know when he had rushed to the front of the armored cavalry. If there is no deviation in the position of the general flag, it is generally the position of the main general, which means that it is now Ye Yingwu charging with armored cavalry.

"We can't afford to take this credit!" Jiang Tie immediately gasped, giving him a hundred guts, he didn't dare to take credit from Ye Yingwu.

Annoyed Your Majesty, the consequences are serious!
