The so-called Xiandeng Battalion was actually not a permanent combat unit in the Han army. However, through the battles in Jizhou over the years, Lu Yi successfully made his pro-military battalion obtain the title of "the elite of the elite".

The first camp is the brightest blade in the hands of Lu Yi. When Lu Yi came to Jizhou, there were only 300 people in the pro-military camp. Later, by virtue of his power and prestige in the Jizhou army, he continued to select the strongest in the army to join, and the scale of the first camp slowly grew, from 300 to 500, and then to 800.

It was by relying on this extremely powerful infantry that in the Battle of Wuyuan a year ago, Lu Yi was able to break Gongsun Zhan's trump card - Baima Yicong in one fell swoop, beheaded more than 1,000 levels, and reversed the unfavorable situation of the battle in one fell swoop.

Now, in the face of his old opponent Gongsun Zhan, Lu Yi did not hesitate to dispatch the Xiandeng camp again, intending to rely on the strong combat effectiveness of the Xiandeng camp to defeat Gongsun Zhan's headquarters in one fell swoop, thus ending the battle of Gongsun Zhan's invasion of Jizhou!

After a short period of recuperation, they replaced the two main generals of the forward troops and lined up in formation, intending to have a decisive battle in this battle.

Gongsun Chan was famous for his cavalry, but his command of infantry was not famous. The array he was discharging in front of the formation at the moment made Lu Yi look very strange.

- Shieldmen?

The soldiers, holding a large shield with a height of about one zhang in both hands, lined up in the first row in front of Gongsun Zhan's array. However, these shield soldiers are not defending, but advancing step by step!

- Just looking for death!

Gongsun Zhanjun's strange behavior, although Lu Yi secretly raised his vigilance, was also despised by him from the bottom of his heart.

——A mere shield array can fight against the first camp?

The soldiers of the first battalion of Lu Yi are all strong men who are proficient in a variety of combat skills. And. The ring-headed knives they use are also specially crafted equipment.

Compared with the general ring-head knife, the ring-head knife used in the first camp is four feet long, the handle is four feet long, and the knife edge is made of refined steel. In the last battle against the White Horse Followers, the first dead soldiers often went down with a single sword. You can cut off the neck of the war horse alive!

Moreover, in addition to the personal skills of the soldiers, for the first battalion who are good at cooperating, in battle, as long as an order is given, the soldiers who are in the first camp can flexibly form a small knife formation and cooperate with each other.

Through the flexible pace of the small formation, the enemy will be hit by the continuous rotation of the members of the knife formation. Even if the opponent is a powerful general at the level of "Thousand People Break", he faces a group of "ten people killed" wheel attack. It's also a bit of a rush.

On the other hand, the shield soldiers sent by Gongsun Zhan, because they held shields in both hands, they couldn't even pick up their weapons, and they were still moving forward in small steps. Such a shield wall, no matter how strong it is, will never cause much trouble to Xiandeng.

- Do they want to use shields to block arrows?

There is an important component in the equipment of the first battalion. It's a crossbow. The last time he broke the White Horse's righteousness, he first went to the camp to shoot at close range with a strong crossbow. A large number of the enemy's horses were killed and wounded, and then when the White Horse Yicong was in chaos under the sudden attack, the whole army suddenly intervened, and he was able to successfully inflict heavy damage on the White Horse Yicong.

Although there were some doubts in his heart, he did not hesitate. Seeing that the two sides had come close to a distance of eighty paces, Koji jumped off his horse. Grabbed the long knife in his hand and shouted:

"Nine Koji first!"

With the roar of Lu Yi, the first dead soldiers in their early 700s shouted in unison:

"Invincible!"

The neat roar made Gongsun Zhan's formation tremble. This is an invincible momentum cultivated by the first battalion through previous victories. And at this time. Gongsun Zhanjun no longer retains any mysteries. With a long roar of the bull's horn in the army, the shield line in the front row suddenly cracked and retreated to the left and right. In this way, the army that was blocked by the shield wall suddenly appeared in front of the Lu Yi Army!

"What is this?"

Seeing the landscape behind the shield wall, many of the soldiers felt that their heads were a little insufficient. In front of them appeared a group of strange creatures. The front of these creatures is tightly covered by thick armor, and even the head is protected by a special shield. For a while, many soldiers failed to recognize what the other party was sending out?

There was some commotion in the regents. Of course, the rioters did not include the first camp.

"Is that a horse?"

Finally, there was a good eye, and he recognized the creature on the other side. However, the soldiers, who had never seen what a war horse in a heavy vest looked like, still had many people believing that it was an unknown monster. In the midst of the discussion, most people automatically ignored the heavily armored soldier next to each hoplite warhorse.

Another horn sounded. The heavily armed knights, who were overloaded by the horses, immediately began to turn over and get on their horses. Hundreds of people mounted their horses in an unorderly manner, which immediately dispelled the suspicions of the enemy soldiers who were still strange.

- The hundreds of "monsters" on the other side are actually a group of tall horses in thick horse armor!

This realization made the fear in the hearts of the soldiers of the Lu Yi Army slightly reduced. However, as the third horn sounded, those heavy armored knights, who were set off by thick heavy armor and became more and more tall and hideous, began to accelerate their advance. The sound of thousands of heavy horses' hooves hitting the ground immediately made all the soldiers of the Koji Righteous Army feel a heavy pressure.

"Oh my God! Is that...... A wall? ”

Some of the recruits are already starting to show signs of panic. However, these unlucky bastards were immediately beaten with knives and spears by the low-ranking officers who came back to their senses. At this time, Lu Yi was already at the front of the queue. Beside him, there were five powerhouses at least the level of "Hundred People Chop", and they formed a small formation with Lu Yi.

Those five strong men are the famous "Nine Sons of the Koji Clan".

"Nine Koji first!"

Facing the rolling heavy cavalry in the acceleration, Lu Yi took the lead in roaring, and the first dead soldiers in their early 700s echoed in unison again:

"Invincible!"

"Nine Koji first!"

"Invincible!"

With the power of victory in a hundred battles in the camp first, every shout of the battle horn has revived the morale of their own side that has been intimidated. However, when the first battalion called the battle cry for the third time, hundreds of heavily armored iron horsemen had already killed them!

The first camp did not use a strong crossbow. The armor of the enemy is too thick. Even the horses were wrapped in leather armor. Even if a powerful crossbow is fired, I'm afraid the killing effect is quite limited. Moreover, with the speed of the enemy's cavalry charge, I am afraid that if an arrow is fired, the first dead soldiers will not even have time to change their weapons, and the enemy will be killed.

The first to engage in battle was Koji.

Lu Yi was able to train a famous army in Hebei. His own martial arts skills are naturally extraordinary. Although he is not known for his force, even Han Meng, whose force is second only to the "Four Court Pillars", is not confident that he can defeat Lu Yi in a life-and-death fight. Facing the heavily armored cavalry in front of him that collided with the speed of a horse's sprint, Koji Yi did not back down, but took a step forward and slashed out with a long knife in his hand!

Rushing to the front of the team, facing the heavily armored knight who collided with Lu Yi, he held a long horse lance in his hand, and the armor on his body weighed dozens of pounds, to say the least. If you take into account the horse's equipment and its own weight. The full weight of this war horse is only close to half a ton. Even Dian Wei, in the face of such a terrifying super-heavy charge, did not dare to directly hard-connect!

Of course, Koji didn't dare. Therefore, his long knife is not aimed at the horse's head, but at the horse's leg!

Lightly avoiding the heavy knight's horse, Koji slashed squarely on the front leg of a horse. Even with the protection of thick leather armor, the golden "Battle Qi" attached to the blade. The still devastating knife cut off the horse's leg.

The horse neighed sadly, and fell to the ground from the side of Lu Yi with a "boom". A painful roll immediately crushed more than a dozen bones of the knight on horseback, and he looked like he was not alive.

Although it is easy to say, it seems that in a short to instantaneous confrontation, Koji was able to win from the battle, and he also rolled on the line of life and death. And the enemy's iron cavalry is not one. Even if the number is not very large, it will not be less than the first to die. Even Lu Yi had such a hard time coping with it, and the rest of the soldiers who had ascended to the camp first would obviously face a great challenge from the enemy's heavy cavalry.

"Slash the horse's feet!"

The first to die are all experienced enough veterans to see the leader's tactical success. Learn and act like it immediately. It's just that the heavily armored knights on the horses are not decorations. In the first shot, seven horses were cut off by the first camp and fell to the ground, but twenty-eight of the first dead were knocked off by the impact of the horses, stabbed to death by the horse's lance, and even trampled alive by the horses' hooves!

Among the dead, even one of the "Nine Sons of the Koji Clan" was included!

Lu Yi frowned. For the new class of troops designed by Gongsun Zhan, he still underestimated its crushing pressure on the battlefield.

According to Yuan Shao's detailed work in Gongsun Zhan's army, the appearance of the heavy knights was due to Gongsun Zhan's learning of the cavalry tactics of the state. Lu Yi had a lot of dealings with his arrogant subordinates, but he had never come into contact with the Bingzhou cavalry, so he naturally couldn't imagine the power of the heavy knights. He could only use the known combat strength of the Han cavalry to estimate the power of the unknown heavily armed knights.

However, before seeing the majesty of the heavy knights, who would know that they were terrifying?

The hoplites were able to appear, first of all, thanks to the use of bilateral stirrups. Without this thing, those who can wear dozens of pounds of heavy armor and still be able to fight in close quarters on horses are all fierce general-level powerhouses. Such a character, not to say that it is one in a thousand, one in a thousand, at least one in a hundred. However, after the popularity of bilateral stirrups, as long as he trained for a few years, he was an ordinary soldier, and he was able to fight the enemy in close quarters on horseback.

Secondly, Gongsun Chan is from Youzhou in the north, and he has a lot of good horses in his hands. Being able to use the white war horses of the main cavalry, so that it broke out of the name of "White Horse Yicong", means that the number of war horses that Gongsun Chan can choose from is at least tens of thousands. On this basis, it is possible to select hundreds of tall horses that are strong enough to carry hundreds of pounds.

A well-made knight armed with the best horses and the thickest armor, Gongsun Chan searched the entire army and pieced together more than 600 horsemen. However, once this only 600 horsemen are attacked, the psychological impact on the hostile is so great that those who have not experienced it can never imagine it in any case!

However, even if the losses are heavy, the first camp can still fight! (To be continued......)
