373. Heavy cavalry and heavy infantry

Gao Yingxiang saw Xue Hongqi and Zhu Ba coming together, and secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good. Although this Baishui Zhuba did not enter the 36th battalion, it is a righteous army with older qualifications than Wang Jiayin's eldest brother, and it is the first good man in western Shaanxi who first raised the banner of righteousness.

He had to think secretly in his heart: I hope that Baishui Zhuba's army will not be too powerful, and it will not be able to convince the public if it has prestige and no strength.

There were still many people in the field who were thinking like Gao Yingxiang, and everyone looked up to see what Xue Hongqi and Zhu Ba's army was capable of.

When they looked up, they gasped!

I saw Xue Hongqi leading five hundred cavalry in front, she was dressed in red, heroic, with a scimitar at her waist, jumping and jumping with the rhythm of the horse's walking, with a curved bow on her back, plus a barrel of arrows, and the end was a different taste. Of course, she herself is not the focus of everyone, the most important thing is the cavalry who follows her.

The five hundred cavalry are divided into two halves, the front half is about two hundred cavalry, all heavy cavalry, each war horse is covered with horse armor, although there are not many places to cover, just use iron plates to cover the horse's face and chest, but the heroes and heroes present know that when the war horse rushes towards you, you only have the opportunity to attack these two positions, and you can't hit other places......

Look at the knights on the horses, one by one dressed like an iron pimple, although they do not use high-end fish scale armor (the creation of fish scale armor is extremely time-consuming, it takes a few months to produce one, generally only generals can wear it), but plate-shaped soldier armor, but this kind of armor also costs a lot of money, to build such a good body of dozens of catties of iron, two hundred heavy cavalry to get tens of thousands of catties of iron, this is a big deal!

Some timid rebel leaders couldn't help but think: If these two hundred iron lumps rush over at me and wave their spears together, it will really be only a death death.

Gao Yingxiang's eyes widened, his eyes were full of surprise, he knew how much ability Xue Hongqi's niece had, he hadn't seen him for a few years, and suddenly pulled out two hundred heavy cavalry, he, the boss of the horse bandits in northern Shaanxi, felt a lot of pressure!

After the two hundred heavy cavalry, there were three hundred light cavalry, who did not wear armor, and their weapons were not as domineering as those of the brothers in front of them, but they carried bows on their backs, and there were also those who carried two bows like the Mongols.

Gao Yingxiang's eyes couldn't help but narrow: Can Xue Hongqi's horse bandits shoot arrows? No...... I don't think so...... It seems that it was practiced in the past few years, or temporarily summoned from somewhere.

Although he didn't understand the cavalry tactics of the Jin Kingdom, he understood it after looking at Xue Hongqi's configuration, which was a configuration method of using archers to disrupt the enemy's formation, and then letting the heavy cavalry rush in, which looked really powerful. If the enemy is a rabble, it will almost certainly be able to be crushed in one rush, and if the enemy is more elite, it will be able to assemble a spear formation. Let the light cavalry look for opportunities, in short, the enemy army must not have the slightest relaxation, otherwise once the heavy cavalry seizes the opportunity to charge, it will be rushed to cry and cry for mother.

Although there were many mediocre talents present, there were also some who had vision, and they only heard the sound of cold air at the corners of their mouths everywhere in the field, and many people were taken aback by Xue Hongqi's military momentum. Many "back waves of the Yangtze River" just held their chests and thought that they could show off in the Xingyang Conference, but now they have obediently retreated a few steps.

Xue Hongqi passed, and everyone stared at the "Baishui Zhu Ba" army behind them, it was okay not to stare at it, this staring, suddenly sweat like rain, because Zhu Bajun's iron pimples were more than Xue Hongqi, a full five hundred pimples, lined up in a neat queue, and walked over with heavy steps.

The pace of these 500 iron bumps was extremely consistent, and the whole army raised the left foot at the same time, dropped the left foot at the same time, and then raised the right foot at the same time...... Repeatedly, no one took any steps.

"Wow, five hundred heavy infantry!" Someone exclaimed.

"Oh my God!"

I saw that the front army of Zhu Bajun raised an iron shield together, this iron shield weighed at least ten or twenty pounds, and it was a big iron plate, not to mention that the arrows could not penetrate it, even if it was a spear, they didn't want to pierce it, but they were afraid that the fire gun would not be able to penetrate such an iron shield if it was far away. Between the shields were piercing gaps for spears to protrude, and many spears protruded from these gaps, making the iron lump of five hundred men look like an iron hedgehog again.

"Oh my mom, how do you deal with this kind of thing!" Several of the rebel leaders screamed.

Hong Chengchou ...... Hong Chengchou's family Ding Bing is this kind of virtue......"

"We are right with Hong Chengchou, and we have never won, just because he has this kind of heavy infantry ......"

Many old thieves screamed, especially the old bandits of the 36th Battalion who had been beaten by Hong Chengchou, who were no strangers to this kind of heavy infantry, and they couldn't help but feel a chill when they looked at the banner of "Baishui Zhuba".

Some people can't help but think: If Baishui Zhuba is our enemy, won't he become the second Hong Chengchou? Everywhere they went, the rebels were helpless and had no other way but to flee.

Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Ma Shouying and others all changed color on their faces, they didn't expect that Zhu Ba had not made a fuss on the rivers and lakes in the past two years, but he hid and created such a unit. At this time, if Xue Hongqi and Zhu Ba join forces, the heavy infantry plus the heavy cavalry can simply sweep Xingyang, and the seventy-two battalions of the thirteen families will only be beaten.

The leaders who had already walked up to the line and stood side by side exchanged glances with each other. Zhang Xianzhong leaned into Li Zicheng's ear and said in a low voice: "Brother Chuang, what is the chance of winning if your old eighth team fights this thing?" ”

"Yicheng has no ......" Li Zicheng frowned and said, "What about yours?" ”

Zhang Xianzhong shook his head: "Don't embarrass me, I'm even more unbeatable than you......"

"Is there a plan to win?" Li Zicheng asked, "You are more resourceful than me." ”

Zhang Xianzhong's eyes flashed fiercely: "I only have the only way to take their wives and children as hostages......

Li Zicheng's heart was cold when he heard this, and he had nothing to say.

The two of them turned their heads together to look at Lao Hui Hui Ma Shouying, and said in a low voice: "Only the Mongolian archers of Lao Hui may be able to fight with one...... However, his Mongol archers were slightly less numerous, and could not play a decisive role. ”

The thieves talked about it and found it tricky.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he had shocked everyone, and he had become an imaginary enemy that everyone was discussing how to deal with, but he didn't care, who wasn't like this these days? Seeing that the enemy's forces are strong, they consider ways to deal with them. When Lao Huihui and Zhang Xianzhong appeared just now, he and Xu Renjie and Xue Hongqi were discussing how to restrain other people's troops, but this kind of discussion does not mean that they will really do it with him.

He walked into the crowd and arranged for the army to stand next to the white jade pillar, and he himself took a group of leaders and walked to the city of Xingyang with Xue Hongqi. Bai Yuzhu was standing not far from him, couldn't help but hug his fists at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said loudly: "Eighth Brother Zhu, I said goodbye last time, and after a few years in a hurry, your demeanor is still undiminished." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and returned the salute.

Bai Yuzhu leaned over as if he was familiar, intentionally or unintentionally walked with Zhu Yuanzhang, and said in a low voice: "Your heavy infantry team is really powerful, brother, I am greedy, how much does it cost to get this?" Since the Battle of Puzhou, I haven't heard of you coming out to attack the city and plunder the land, why do you have so much money? It's really puzzling. ”

In fact, Bai Yuzhu's question is also a question that Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others want to ask. The rogues roamed all over the world, fighting city after city, robbing family after family, but what they looted and snatched, just to feed the soldiers and their families, they could not make ends meet, and there was no room to make any decent equipment, and almost all the equipment had to be snatched from the officers and soldiers...... This also determines that their equipment is difficult to put in order, and it is always a mess.

And the army they can't win can't grab, for example, Hong Chengchou's heavy infantry, if they can win, they can grab the iron armor and also make a heavy infantry team, but they can't win.

After Baishui Zhu Ba seized Puzhou, he didn't come out to attack the city and grab the land for two years, and he disappeared and disappeared in the Taihang Mountain.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Bai Yuzhu seriously, and when he saw that his eyes were sincere, he replied in a low voice: "Just robbing, it's not okay!" You have to rely on your own hands to create wealth, and you can't expect someone else to send it to you. ”

After hearing this, Bai Yuzhu seemed to understand or not, and was stunned for a while.

At this time, the gate of Xingyang City was opened, Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, came out of the city, and many soldiers of the army also poured out of the city, and a large number of tables, chairs and benches were set up outside the city gate, and wine and food were put on it.

These people don't pay attention to etiquette, they don't pay attention to any opening words, they pick up what is in front of them and start eating and drinking.

Zhu Yuanzhang also walked over and found a table to sit down casually, Wang Er, Xu Renjie and others sat down with him, Xue Hongqi did not go to Gao Yingxiang's side, but accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang to sit down, and Bai Yuzhu also came in with a dead face. Zhu Yuanzhang understands why Bai Yuzhu sits here, because Bai Yuzhu's ranking in the past was one place higher than Gao Yingxiang, but now he can't compare, and the only one in the field who is older than him is Baishui Zhu Ba, who does he sit with Zhu Ba?

Seeing that all the leaders were seated, Gao Yingxiang stood in the middle, raised a wine glass, and said some messy opening remarks, and the content was nothing new, nothing more than what welcomed everyone to come, everyone was a good man, and after talking for a long time, his face sank, and he said seriously: "This Xingyang Conference is to unite all the brothers and set a strategy to deal with the imperial court......"
