Chapter 703: Spear and Shield

Looking at it from a distance, the visual effect of the fire cavalry after gathering is indeed very much like a fire, after the charge, this fire is even more like a fire spreading, violently and violently, as if it wants to burn everything in the world, the momentum is amazing.

This effect was not there at the beginning, Wang Yu put a lot of effort into this iron horseman, equipment, war horses, drills, and various supplies, but he didn't do anything in appearance.

Iron cavalry combat relies on strength to crush the enemy, and not to intimidate the enemy by selling appearances, what is there to do? But the current master will be Lu Qiling, no matter how barbaric she is, she is also a girl, and she still pays attention to appearances such as dress.

She herself likes bright red, which can be reflected in her usual dress. And Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, claimed to have killed the red snake and got luck to establish the country, according to the five virtues have always said, after the founding of the country, the country is still red, and the military uniform of the Han army should be red. It's just that later Emperor Wu reformed the system, changed Huode to Tude, and the Han Dynasty became Shanghuang again.

After Lu Qiling took office, she has always advocated the unification of military uniforms, so that the whole army wears bright red military uniforms, so as to make the name of Agni more appropriate and restore the tradition of strong men. Of course, in addition to these reasons, her biggest motivation is to leave her mark on this army.

After all, it is the first time to take charge of the army, and it is a very memorable thing to serve as the main general. Desperately trying, she succeeded, but at the same time failed.

Wang Yu approved her need for military uniforms, and the supplies were quickly in place, but the Flame Iron Cavalry was a cavalry with full body armor, and whatever military uniform she wore would be covered by iron armor, as for the flashy things like the big red cloak, even Lu Qiling would not wear it on her body during battle.

That's too dangerous, once it scrapes on something, or is pulled by the enemy and causes it to fall from the horse, except for masters like Lu Qiling and Zhang Liao. Most cavalrymen don't want to stand up again on their own.

If a plan fails, a plan to regenerate, Lu Qiling quickly hit the idea on the plate armor, and she planned to paint the iron armor red. Changing to fish scale armor or piercing armor, she will definitely not have the same idea, with the composition of those two types of armor, it is not an ordinary trouble to paint up, and plate armor is simple, it is nothing more than to get some red paint to brush up.

For this. She also deliberately found Da Qiao to discuss the technical issues and details of the lacquered iron armor.

However, at that time, the military situation in northern Xinjiang was repeated, and the Qingzhou Army had entered the stage of comprehensive preparations, whether it was Wang Yu or Zhang Liao. I didn't have time to pay attention to her thoughts. The former focused on strategy, while the latter was engrossed in military training, and the superficial skills of painting were completely out of their consideration.

Then, before Lu Qiling could think of a new idea, the army was already on the road. It wasn't until the battle a few days ago that she found a new opportunity.

In that battle. The Qingzhou cavalry has an average of three to four heads in each person's hands! Everyone was covered in blood, and the men and horses were as if they had been fished out of a river of blood, and it was hideous and terrible during the battle, and it was troublesome to clean it up afterwards.

Once the blood has clotted, it is difficult to remove it completely. The armor of the snow became mottled and not pretty. Lu Qiling took the opportunity to put forward the suggestion of painting iron armor again, Wang Yu thought about it anyway, he had to rest for two days, and he was idle. So there is the current scene.

The cavalry in red armor and red armor launched an attack all over the mountains, and a red tide seemed to surge between the heavens and the earth. The visuals are stunning.

Whether it was Qi Zhou, who was about to pick up the cheap, or the Qingzhou auxiliaries who were watching the battle at the other end, this scene was full of shock. The former was pale and frightened; The latter's face was red and excited, but regardless of the cause, the psychological states of both sides were not much different, and they were filled with full shock.

There was only one sound left between heaven and earth, the sound of the iron cavalry charging, the sound of horses' hooves like thunder, the earth trembling, the river trembling, only the sonorous sound of the iron armor rubbing and colliding could penetrate the thunder, like the chorus of bells and drums.

"Iron Rider of Fire, Red Tide...... This, how can this be stopped? Qi Zhou said in a trembling voice, but he couldn't even hear the words he said. The cluster charge of the cavalry, he has seen it many times, it is not surprising, but the cavalry on the opposite side is different from the past, their orderly array in chaos, full of momentum, all remind the world of their strong strength and achievements.

I can't help but not tremble.

If he can calm down and look back left and right, he will find that the other people are not as good as him, all of them are as white as the earth, and their bodies are like chaff, and they can't wait to turn their horses' heads and run away immediately. The only thing that supported them and kept them from collapsing immediately was Koji Yoshiwa who stood in front of them.

Under the frenzy, who will live? Only the rock!

Rock solid is the best portrayal of the first camp at this moment.

Just as when he was at the boundary bridge, when he faced the raging tide of the White Horse Yicong, the first battalion performed very firmly and did not waver, the soldiers in the first two rows raised their strong crossbows, and the soldiers in the back row flattened their spears.

"One hundred and fifty steps!" The watchman's shout was rapid and poignant, with a slight tremble, and the more clearly he could see it, the more terrified his heart became, which could not be overcome by willpower alone.

"Crossbow ......" Koji raised his hand.

When facing the righteous servants, he launched a sniper attack at a considerable distance, in order to maximize the lethality of the crossbow, and at the same time, to make it impossible for the enemy to turn back or turn.

In today's battle, the enemy had only one choice to rush up, so knowing that the strong crossbow was at a distance of 100 paces, it was unlikely to cause damage to the heavily armored enemy cavalry, he still gave the order to fire a salvo.

You can't kill, you can always disrupt the enemy's position a little, right? If it is not good, you can also test the enemy through a salvo to see if the enemy has any hole cards or weaknesses.

Koji Yi didn't know what hole cards Wang Yu had, but he was very well prepared for this battle.

The first is the existence of Qi Zhou, in addition to being a reserve army and cleaning up the mess after both sides are defeated, this friendly army also has the role of guarding the battlefield and preventing the various units of the Qingzhou Army from suddenly joining the battlefield.

Lu Yi was worried that Wang Yu knew that he was proficient in the tactics of infantry cavalry, but he still had the courage to kill him, and he might have hidden some backhand, such as Wei Yan's Hidden Mist Army raid or something, and the frontal impact of the cavalry was just a cover.

Relying on the scout's reconnaissance alone, he was not too relieved, and with Qi Zhou in the back, he could concentrate all his strength on the enemy and let go of the battle.

In addition, he also raised the banner of revenge.

The cause of Liu Yu's death is actually very complicated, even Gongsun Zhan cannot be regarded as a direct murderer, and if he is an indirect murderer, not only Wang Yu, but even Qi Zhou can be counted as one.

The purpose of Koji's move was not to denounce Wang Yu, but to boost morale.

The army under his command has little to do with the Xiandeng battalion of the year, the old brothers at the beginning, there are only a few dozen people left, and the personal quality of the new army is not bad, but it has not experienced a real battle to the death, and when it comes to real swords and guns, it is difficult to say whether there will be any mistakes.

Liu Yu's descendant troops, either admired Liu Yu's reputation to vote, or simply his disciples, Liu Yu arranged this army in Zhuo County before the war, which has the meaning of preserving strength. On the other hand, this army of disciples is also desperate for Liu Yu, and uses hatred to stimulate the will to fight, and this Xiandeng will not be much worse than it was back then.

The warning voice of the lookout of "One Hundred Steps ......" became faster and faster, and became more and more poignant, as if the siren was sounding for a long time.

"Lift it up! Wind! Koji ordered categorically.

"Collapse! Collapse! Collapse! The eight hundred powerful crossbows that Liu Yu had accumulated by smashing pots and selling iron roared in unison, and the eight hundred crossbow arrows converged into a storm and stabbed at the array of iron riders with a scream.

The huge momentum of "Ding Ding Ding ......" did not stir up any waves, only the crisp and pleasant sound of metal collision sounded, as if a solo with a chime added to the grand movement.

The salvo could not be successful, which was completely expected, but Koji Yoshi's heart sank suddenly, and the enemy's array showed no signs of wavering. In this round of volleys, he specially ordered them to be raised and released, just to make the arrow point higher, threatening the enemy's upper body and even revealing it.

Even if you are wearing armor and know that you will not be harmed, you will subconsciously avoid high-speed objects that come at you, which is a natural reaction and cannot be overcome casually.

But from what he observed, none of the cavalry of the Qingzhou army reacted to this, no one avoided it, no one stood in the way, and the dark and heavy armor blocked their faces...... Silent, without sorrow or joy, this surging army is as if it is not composed of humans, but steel puppets created by the gods.

This is more terrifying than the roaring cavalry, and the morale suppression of their own soldiers is also greater, especially when there are already rumors circulating in the army, such as scattering beans into soldiers, fairy talismans and other rumors, the other party's performance has amplified the role of rumors to the extreme.

"Don't be stunned, hurry up and get on the arrow!" Without thinking much about it, Koji Yi then issued orders three times in a row.

"Steady, steady! Flattening the spear, leveling the spear! "In his military career, before he has engaged in a war, it is indeed very rare to shout like this to boost morale and calm people's hearts. But there was no way, who let him encounter such a terrifying enemy?

"Eighty steps!"

"Fifty steps!"

The warning voice of the "forty ......" lookout seemed to be urging and screaming, and Koji had no time to care, he only stared at the surging enemy, silently in his heart, calculated, and waited for the best time.

The number of strong crossbows is limited, and even if there are dead soldiers willing to fight hard, there are not so many crossbows that can launch bursts, so there is only one last chance to fire a salvo, which is also crucial!

"Thirty steps!" The smoke and dust raised by the cavalry had already shrouded the forward strikers who had ascended to the camp first, and the lookout shouted directly to the broken sound.

"Crossbow...... Wind! Koji shouted his final order, and the Flame Iron Rider finally made a move.

The cavalrymen in the front row reached out under the saddle to fish, and when they straightened up again, a large black and heavy shield was already in their hands!

The invasion of the Qingzhou iron cavalry, the vanguard of the cavalry, the battle between spear and shield, but the attacker held the shield, and the defender held the sharp as the beginning.
