Chapter 561: Horse Stepping Company Camp

(The egg hurts, it's a few minutes late, then it's earlier today, hehe, ask for tickets!) )

The heavy cavalry battalion of the Liaodong Army is known all over the world, and before the gunpowder of Liaodong was born, the heavy cavalry battalion equipped with armor and cavalry equipment was the capital of the Liaodong Army to stand proudly in the world.

However, the war in Liaodong gradually subsided, and the heavy cavalry battalion rarely had a chance to play. In particular, when the Liaodong Arms Division had more and more black powder weapons, and the crossbows of the Liaodong Army became stronger and stronger, the heavy cavalry of the Liaodong Army never went to the battlefield again.

When Chen Kefu raided the grassland, he once took heavy horses into the grassland, but he had no chance to use them at all. Later, when they attacked Hebei, they fought siege warfare, movement raid warfare, the Xiongguan and dangerous passes of the imperial court on the opposite side, the peasant army wandering around, and the gunpowder of the Liaodong army and the light cavalry and bows and crossbows of the Liaodong army were enough to deal with them.

gradually went off the battlefield, and gradually the world seemed to forget this trump card.

Even within the Liaodong Army, there are many people who say that the Liaodong Army is now strong and strong, has superior troops, and has sufficient equipment and excellent armor. Light cavalry, foot soldiers, and crossbowmen are all elite soldiers in the world, and there is no need to keep a heavy cavalry unit that is completely money-burning.

Some generals even said that heavy riding has too many shortcomings, not only burning money, but also many shortcomings. As long as the enemy sets up defensive tools such as ground thorns and horse ropes, he can easily beat the invulnerable ironclad cavalry to the back. Even the well-dressed peasant armies could easily defeat the heavy cavalry, because they could break the heavy cavalry with a large spear in their hands and form a dense spear formation.

As for what these people meant, Chen Kefu only smiled when he heard it, but did not speak.

The power of the heavy cavalry is incomparable, although he has too many shortcomings, but also because he has given up a lot of things, so he has achieved the strongest explosive power and impact, which cannot be replaced by any class.

As this outstanding commander, Chen Kefu understands very well that heavy cavalry is not a universal force. He can't go to any battlefield. This is a sharp knife, held in the hands of the commander, at the critical moment of the battlefield, such a sharp knife can achieve shocking results as soon as it is shot. The heavy cavalry is the pen used by the commanders to point the fine when they command the battle.

When Li Benlei faced the 200,000 Shizu coalition army that had been camping for 20 miles, the first plan that came to mind was to raid the company camp by heavy cavalry and horses, so that they could directly use unparalleled explosive power and impact to break through the large battalion of the Shizu coalition army, which had no ditches, no antlers, no fences and other camp defense facilities.

The coalition camp was stretched too long. If only ordinary light cavalry were sent to charge the formation, it was possible that before the halfway point of the charge, the coalition forces would have gathered and formed an array. If the enemy is arrayed, then the dense array of archers and spears is the absolute nemesis of the light cavalry.

Of his 50,000 horses, of whom 40,000 were foot soldiers, only 5,000 heavy horsemen and 5,000 light horsemen. Five thousand light horsemen to break through the enemy's camp, some of which were too unfortunate. Only heavy cavalry can ignore the snow at this time and quickly step through this company camp.

The heavy cavalry of the broken barracks of 5,000 had completed their armor, with 50 cavalry as a platoon, a full 100 platoon. Once the heavy cavalry has made a charge, it is impossible to stop freely. It has to be rushed through in one go. to gradually stop. Therefore, in order to avoid ramming their own men, there is enough distance between each row that they will rush directly to the west before stopping.

On the snow, the five thousand horsemen were divided into one hundred columns, and the traditional black bright light heavy cavalry armor of the broken barracks was also draped in white cloaks. The heavy armor of the war horses on the side was also covered with white robes.

After putting on the overcoat, the originally fierce war horse was only left with those eyes and four horseshoe road outside. And then there's the long, sharp thorn on his forehead that glows with a faint chill. There is a difference between the heavy cavalry vest of the broken barracks and the heavy cavalry vests in other troops, that is, the heavy cavalry vests of the broken barracks also have a sharp metal triangular thorn on the forehead. As long as you are stabbed on the battlefield, you will not die or be disabled. …,

The black Mingguang heavy cavalry armor, the snow-white cape, the overcoat, and the blood-red tassels on the helmet.

With the help of the cavalry of the Greedy Wolf Battalion, the knights mounted their horses and reached out to take over the seven-meter-long heavy horse.

Snowy night on the day of the third watch. The silence was incomparable.

The sky was still snowing, and a north wind blew, blowing the helmets on the heads of the knights.

Looking at the company camp that was still sleeping in the distance, Zhang He, the commander of the broken military camp in the first row of fifty horsemen, stretched out his hand and closed the mask in his helmet.

The black battle flag of the broken army fluttered, and Zhang He's heart was full of excitement. It seems to have returned to the time when he was outside the new city that year, following His Royal Highness King Chen to ride the 80,000 light horses of Zhibu Yizhi Wende with 1,000. For the first time, they put on heavy horsemen and set out with the heart of death.

The mask slowly closed, and Zhang He's calm and powerful big hand waved vigorously in the air, "Glory belongs to us!" He meditated in his heart.

"Glory belongs to us!" This is the battle horn shouted by King Chen roaring from the first battle of the Xincheng Heavy Cavalry, and this sentence has become the exclusive point of the Liaodong Army's broken barracks.

"Glory belongs to us!" Five thousand heavy cavalry covered their masks one after another, silently reciting the battle call in their hearts.

With his legs clamped between the horse's belly, feeling the master's rising fighting spirit, these war horses that came out of thousands of miles began to open their iron hooves and run slowly.

Start, gallop, run, vertically and horizontally, rush forward!

Saddle and leap on the horse, the torrent of iron horsemen rushed towards the still silent company camp in the snow, and the horse's hooves rumbled like thunder. Although the enemy camp of the opposing side is so long and extensive, the number is so amazing. Maybe they haven't rushed over yet, and they'll be exhausted and be the object of slaughter. But the five thousand cavalry did not hesitate at all, and in the eyes of the heavy cavalry, they never flinched.

In their discipline, some are indomitable, unstoppable, and invincible.

The black pressure of the queue overflowed the entire Fanyang Plain like an avalanche, and it was impossible to see the end, but the ironclad cavalry was not afraid!

Although there are tens of millions of people, I will go!

"Enemy attack!"

On the enemy platform of the tower of Lujiabao, someone was the first to let out a scream of fear.

"Enemy attack, cavalry of the imperial court!"

One after another, shouts continued to sound, and the entire Lu Jiabao and the coalition army company camp seemed to wake up from hibernation all at once.

"Bell, bell!" The rapid alarm bells began to ring over and over again, and torches were lit on the outermost shooting holes and lookouts of Lujiabao

The joint camp had also woken up at this time, and countless coalition soldiers began to look around in panic for their armor and weapons, and some even forgot to wear their shoes, so they rushed out of the tent in panic.

At the forefront of the heavy cavalry assault of the broken barracks was a small family in Yuyang, the camp tent of the Liu family. Because they were the last to arrive, and there were less than a thousand of them, they had to pitch their tents in the easternmost position.

At this time, the head of the Liu family ran out of the camp in a panic wearing a bright light armor, and behind him there were more than 600 Ding serfs brought from the manor.

After just one glance, the little head of the Liu family almost fainted. He tried hard to inhale several large breaths of cold air to keep his fat body from falling on the snow.

The sound of iron hooves like thunder kept coming, and on the vast snow, the snow on the ground was constantly splashed into the air by the flying horses' hooves, and the snow powder and mud fluttered everywhere, making this wild heavy horse suddenly looming, like a ghost army.

The head of the Liu family swallowed his saliva with difficulty, but his legs couldn't help but stand on the ground as if they had taken root, he wanted to leave, but his legs couldn't move. …,

He felt his heart jump to his throat, and his soul had flown out of his body.

The earth trembled violently under his feet, making him unsteady on his feet, the hooves of his horses rumbling in his ears, and the neat ranks of heavy cavalry were as heavy as a towering mountain, but they pressed rapidly towards the easternmost part of the company's camp.

The head of the Liu family, who was standing there and couldn't even move his feet, was swept away by the huge impact before he even had time to shout out the first exclamation, and then fell under the iron hooves of the back row, the second row, the third row...

Those who had just run out of the tent, and the hundreds of serfs of the Liu family who had not yet run out of the tent, were swept down by an unstoppable torrent of steel one after another, as if they were made of paper paste!

"Kill!" The roar of the Liaodong heavy cavalry drowned out the screams of a group of people and the sonorous collision of weapons, and in their terrifying offensive of overwhelming the mountains and seas, the six or seven hundred people of the head of the Liu family could not even resist for a moment, and they were overwhelmed by this black iron armor torrent in an instant, and their destruction was only a matter of moments!

"Fire Oil Bomb!" Zhang He, who was on the horse, roared, and the four heralds who followed him hurriedly waved the order flag in their hands. In the midst of such a violent collision, although a series of battle plans had already been set. I have already trained many times in the usual training, but sometimes, it is best to have to be in command of the battle.

The four heralds waved their flags vigorously on their horses, and the knights who followed closely behind them also saw it.

Except for the twenty rows of heavy horsemen in the front, when they continued to fly and knock over all the people and things in front of them with unrivaled momentum, the heavy horses behind began to take out a special grenade and fire oil bomb from the bag next to the saddle. The oil bomb is also an incendiary bomb, but with the technology at this time, the oil bomb of the Liaodong Army is only faster than the arson of a rocket torch.

He took the oil bullet and put a little on the fire rope wrapped around his left wrist, and then threw it far away towards the tent on the road.

The "boom" fire bomb exploded, and clusters of burning flames were splattered onto the camp tent and the coalition soldiers.

This kind of fire oil bomb with special materials has little explosive power, but it is an item specially used to break the camp, and it is really a necessary thing for the cavalry to attack the camp and break the village. As soon as the firearms department researched and developed it, it was immediately sent to the army, and the first time it was used, the effect was already amazing.

The heavy cavalry rushed wildly, crashing into countless coalition troops and horses, leaving behind a mess, leaving countless tents with blazing flames on both sides. (To be continued.) )
