Chapter 108: Improved Heavy Cavalry

Gaolan Mountain starts from Longwei Mountain in the west, reaches the old wolf ditch in the east, is shaped like a dragon, high and thick and winding, such as opening two wings. p>

The river flows through this place, winds along the low-lying ravines to the east, Taoshui flows from south to north, crosses the ridge and joins the river, enriching a large area of land in the north and south of the mountain, in the pre-Qin period, the Xiongnu were born here as nomads. p>

In the Western Han Dynasty, the Huns were driven away, and the Qiang people moved here. p>

As one of the largest Qianghu tribes to move into the Han Dynasty, it occupies the most fertile land and pastures at the northern foot of Gaolan Mountain, and the green malt has broken through the soil and thrived under the nurturing of the spring breeze. p>

The sky was cloudless, and the sun hung in the sky like a big fireball. p>

Industrious farmers are pulling out the weeds in the fields under the sun. p>

At this moment, a faint thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, and the ground shook inexplicably. p>

The Qiang people, who were busy in the fields, immediately stopped what they were doing and looked around in disbelief. p>

Soon, to the northwest, a black line appeared at the end of the line of sight, slowly squirming on the horizon. p>

"It's cavalry!" p>

The Qiang people were very familiar with cavalry, and they could see at a glance that it was a large group of cavalry. p>

At this time, in the Yaodangqiang village more than ten miles away, the piercing warning sound sounded one after another. p>

The soldier in charge of the sentry also discovered the black pressure cavalry that suddenly turned out from behind a big mountain in the distance, and issued a warning at the first time, and the Qiang tribe that stretched for more than ten miles instantly boiled. p>

Adult men ran and howled, quickly rallied. p>

The women and children hid one after another, and there was no confusion. p>

Obviously, the Qiang people are very experienced in dealing with such emergencies. p>

At the sound of the desolate bull's horn, the cavalry quickly rushed out of the dense carpet and earthen huts, assembled in the wilderness below the hillside, and finally completed the assembly before the cavalry that suddenly appeared could be killed. p>

Obviously, the Qiang Department had already prepared. p>

Otherwise, where could the gathering of nearly 10,000 cavalry be completed so quickly. p>

Iron hooves churned, and nearly 20,000 cavalry rolled like a black torrent across the wilderness. p>

Luo Zheng rode his horse to the forefront, and a snow-white war horse galloped with his crotch, a divine horse. This is a BMW presented by Yue's Hu Jin, which belongs to a kind of sweat and blood BMW, which is extremely precious and rare. p>

Sweat and blood BMWs are already very rare, and pure white sweat and blood BMWs are even rarer. p>

didn't let go of the speed and ran with all his might, this pure white sweaty BMW just ran at a normal speed, and it already needed ordinary war horses to run wildly to catch up, so that they could barely keep up and not be pulled too far. p>

"Phew!" p>

Luo Zheng suddenly raised his right arm and lightly lifted Ma Jiang, and the sweaty BMW under his crotch immediately slowed down his running speed. p>

The 18,000 cavalry behind him quickly spread out to the two wings, lined up in two rows in front and rear, and had more than 20 paces in length and width. p>

Zhao Yun urged the horse to gallop over, pointed to the nearly 10,000 cavalry that had just finished the formation hundreds of steps ahead, and said: "Lord, it seems that the Qiang Department has already prepared, it should be about 8,000 cavalry, our army wants to raid, I'm afraid it is impossible." ”p>

Luo Zheng nodded lightly, "With such a large-scale operation of our army, it is not surprising that the other party has already prepared!" ”p>

"But ......" p>

After a pause, his tone suddenly changed to stern, and he said in a cruel voice: "For a long time, in large-scale battles, our army has rarely fought head-on with the enemy. Although these Qianghu people are brave and good at fighting, they lack real tempering after all, and they have not undergone a real baptism of blood and fire, and they are not called elites in a hundred battles. Let this hard battle baptize these Qianghu cavalry! ”p>

There was one more important purpose, which he did not say. p>

These 18,000 cavalry had 8,000 conscripted Qianghu cavalry, as well as 8,000 cavalry recruited from Han Sui, plus 3,000 Yue's cavalry who had completely surrendered to the Yue's people, and finally were reorganized into 18,000 cavalry. p>

Although the scale is not small, this cavalry does not have much loyalty to Luo Zheng. p>

If there were no foreign enemies to attack, nothing would have happened. p>

If the war is slightly unfavorable if the foreign enemy comes to attack, the 18,000 cavalry will be a bomb. p>

Luo Zheng not only needs a hard battle to baptize this cavalry, but also a real hard battle to complete the transformation of this integrated cavalry, only through guò a hearty victory, this temporary patchwork, Yan zhòng lack of loyalty of the cavalry will complete the transformation, accept Luo Zheng, recognize Luo Zheng, which has an immeasurable effect on Luo Zheng to stabilize the situation under Dìng. p>

Otherwise, having such an unstable bomb under his command will be a huge hidden danger at any time. p>

At this moment, the sound of a long bull's horn sounded in the sky. p>

Iron hooves churned, and the wilderness shook. p>

Eight thousand cavalry hundreds of paces away launched a charge and rushed towards them. p>

Although the strength of the army was less than half of Luo Zheng's 18,000 cavalry, the cavalry was fearless, and probably knew that there was no choice but to fight to the death, so they did not hesitate at all and took the initiative to charge. p>

"There are really people who are not afraid of death!" p>

A cold smile bloomed on the corner of Luo Zheng's mouth, and his raised right arm waved down heavily. p>

In an instant, the passionate bull horn became more and more like a golden stone piercing through the clouds, rushing into the sky. p>

The inexplicable battle intent began to boil in the sprouting green field, and everyone subconsciously clenched their swords. p>

Five hundred cavalrymen and horses, all wrapped in black iron armor, crossed the formation and began to accelerate over the wilderness, meeting the eight thousand cavalry who had come to meet the slaughter. The dark iron armor reflected a terrifying cold light under the sunlight, and the baby-red tassels slowly floated up with the acceleration of the war horse, like red waves. p>

The five hundred heavily armored cavalry were no longer chained in a horizontal row with iron, but split into a conical formation of cavalry charges. p>

Since arriving in Lingju, Luo Zheng has been thinking about the improvement of heavy armored cavalry. p>

The Iron Horse is powerful, but it also has its fatal flaws. p>

In every battle, the casualty ratio of ironclad horses is staggering. p>

And once there are too many horses that stumble, the ironclad chain cavalry will be wiped out. p>

Especially in large-scale battles, the more troops the enemy throws into the battlefield, the more the number of horses will stumble. After careful consideration and many discussions with his generals, Luo Zheng improved the heavy armored cavalry. p>

The improved five hundred heavy armored cavalry was no longer chained with iron chains, nor was it arranged horizontally, but split into the most common conical assault formation when the cavalry assaulted, and in order to give full play to the penetrating power of the heavy armored cavalry, let Xu Chu, the fierce man, personally put on the battle to lead the five hundred heavy armored iron cavalry assault, and at this moment this evil man rode his horse and galloped at the forefront of the triangular assault array. p>

A soldier is a pawn, and a horse is a good horse. p>

The five hundred heavily armored cavalry are not only carefully selected soldiers, all of them are strong men who are one in a hundred, and even the war horses they ride are also selected high-headed horses, which are not suitable for long-distance running, but have strong short-range explosive power. p>

In the shocking shouts of killing, the two disproportionate cavalry finally collided fiercely. I1153
