Just as Li Junxian and Mulan were discussing Jieli's stinky move, the reconnaissance staff officer in the hot air balloon in the sky threw down a paper ball, and then the reconnaissance staff officer below handed the paper ball to Li Junxian. Li Junxian looked at the paper regiment, and immediately took Mulan to the firearms regiment and met Yang Wu, the leader of the firearms regiment.

"Yang Wu, just now the reconnaissance staff officer told us that the heavy armored cavalry of the Turks has come out, how are the three flying arrows of your rocket battalion prepared?" Li Junxian asked.

When Yang Wu heard the Turkic heavy armored cavalry coming, he immediately laughed and said, "General Li, if the Turkic heavy armored cavalry appeared three years ago, I am afraid we would still be afraid. But now that we have three arrows, we don't have to be afraid of the Turks at all. ”

"Okay, in that case, then we'll rely on you!" Li Junxian said.

On the Turkic side, Jieli Khan was reviewing the Turkic heavy cavalry of about 500 men. This Turkic heavy cavalry of about 500 people can only afford to raise after exhausting the strength of the Turks. The Turks were severely short of steel, and they also lacked the talent to use heavy cavalry. To put it mildly, although the steppe people claim to be extremely powerful cavalry, they are also experienced in light cavalry. But if you use heavy armored cavalry, then I'm afraid the experience is not as good as the Han people!

The heavy armored cavalry, whether it is a person or a war horse, is wearing heavy armor and has very strong protection. Moreover, the main role of the heavy cavalry is to charge into battle, and most bows and crossbows cannot do anything to them. Moreover, the combat endurance of these heavily armored cavalry is very poor, at most, it lasts for an hour or two, which is the limit. However, because the heavy cavalry is used to charge the formation, as long as the gap is opened, the remaining light cavalry will rush over.

"Turkic warriors, now we finally need you! We, the Turks, have raised you for years, and now is the time to use you. I have spent so many resources to feed you, and now is the time for you to repay me. So. This time, you attack from the front and break through the Han defenses, so that we can kill the Han Chinese, and you will be the first contributor to our Turks. Jieli shouted.

"Ahhhh The Turkic heavy cavalry shouted.

These heavy cavalry were strong men, and after being selected, they trained one after another and put on heavy armor. And they have been training on a full-time basis, just to be able to go to war one day. And Jieli also thinks that it is necessary to equip some heavy armored cavalry, which will be helpful for the future attack on the Tang Dynasty. For now, those shouting bow and crossbow formations have been able to block the charge of the light cavalry. The charge of the hussars was very ineffective.

In this case, it is necessary to prepare heavy cavalry, so that it can be useful. The heavy cavalry can be used to break through the Han people's bow and crossbow formation, and let the light cavalry behind rush in through this gap, so that the Han people's bow and crossbow formation will be broken.

Jie Li hid these heavy armored cavalry before, hoping to have a surprise effect, so he has always been reluctant to use them. But now that it's time to do it, it's a waste if you don't need it, so Jieli uses these heavy armored cavalry one after another.

"The eagle rides heavily. Let me go! Jieli shouted.

"Knock knock knock......" There was a violent sound, and those ironclad heavy horsemen rushed to the battlefield one after another.

The momentum of the heavy armor iron rider is different, and you can hear it from this voice alone. Although there were only 500 of these heavily armored iron horsemen, they shook the whole land. And the archers of the special guards were also solemn. As if worried about this heavy cavalry. As the infantry crossbowmen of the special guards, of course, they know best what their weaknesses are, that is, once they encounter heavy armored cavalry, the effect of the bow and arrow will be greatly weakened. When the time comes. The heavy cavalry will take the opportunity to rush over and constantly kill their own people.

And it is not for nothing that heavy armored cavalry can dominate the battlefield for many years. At least until firearms really became popular on a large scale. Heavy cavalry is a heavyweight class that dominates the battlefield. Even, in the twenty-first century, firearms have developed into another form of heavy cavalry, that is, tanks. In fact, the tank is also a continuation of another kind of heavy armored cavalry, so later generations actually said that the heavy armored cavalry is a humanoid tank.

The Turks' combat thinking was not backward, and they saw Li Junxian using bows and crossbows to fight light cavalry, so they also used heavy armored cavalry to fight. This idea is the same as the operational idea of using tanks to break through the enemy's fire network during World War I. And Li Junxian's current bow and crossbow version of the queue to shoot actually has some of the style of trench warfare in later generations, so the Turks also immediately learned to use "human-shaped tanks" to break through the formation, and then let the light troops expand the results of the battle.

"It seems that there is no one in this world who is stupid. I introduced this bow and crossbow version of the queue to shoot, but the Turks thought of attacking with heavy cavalry, and no one in this world is stupid! I came up with excellent tactics, but the enemy quickly came up with a way to crack it, and it seems that war is forcing people to develop science and technology, and develop tactical thinking! ”

Li Junxian looked at those heavily armored cavalry, and sighed in his heart. However, Li Junxian has also been prepared for this situation, and has also developed an "armor-piercing bullet", otherwise I am afraid that he will not be able to face this kind of heavy armored cavalry at all.

"Eagle Heavy Rider, Rush with Me!" The general of the Turkic heavy cavalry shouted.

And the Guard's infantry crossbowmen were still doing their duty, aiming at the heavy cavalry head-on. Although they knew that these crossbows might not be effective against the Turkic heavy cavalry, they had to stay here without military orders. Even if you die in battle, you must die on the battlefield.

"Fight on foot, get out of the way!" Li Junxian shouted.

"Fight on foot, get out of the way!" Immediately, a loud herald shouted.

Seeing this, the infantry regiment in charge of the front immediately split into two from the middle according to the previous drill, and then gave way to a middle lane. And this situation actually looks very dangerous, because this middle road leads directly to the Chinese army, which can make the command structure of those Chinese troops be attacked by the enemy!

"Haha, the Han people are timid, rush with me! I really didn't expect that this time it was actually our heavy armored cavalry who had the greatest credit, and those nobles still dared to say that our heavy armored cavalry was a waste of money? Hahahaha! Come on! The heavy cavalry general shouted.

And Li Junxian looked at the heavy armored cavalry that was charging rapidly, and then waved the command flag, and the rocket battalion of the firearms regiment immediately rushed to the middle and pointed at those Turkic heavy cavalry with an unknown weapon. (To be continued......)
