Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
An instructor was talking to the students about what cavalry was in the academy when he suddenly walked up to the window and slammed his fist into the glass of the window with a thunderous blow.
Then the instructor, amid the astonished gaze of the whole class, raised his bloody right hand and asked the students, what is a cavalry? Blood, strength, speed, this is the cavalry.
Even when the Youzhou Iron Cavalry was in battle, it was covered by heavy armor, and he was also ready to realize that he would first hurt the enemy and hurt himself.
Two hundred strong crossbows, a round of arrow rain all hit the armor of the Youzhou Iron Cavalry.
According to the general records, the Tang army was equipped with an arm crossbow of 300 steps, which was used in foot combat, and 200 steps in the horse crossbow was used in horse warfare. It is also recorded in the general dictionary that Li Shimin can be called a magic arrow, good at shooting, shooting armor with a bow, and the arrow can pierce seven times. And the three-stone crossbow shoots fifty steps, and it can penetrate three armors. But for the Youzhou Iron Cavalry under the heavy armor, this is a matter of spear and shield, but the three-stone strong crossbow tells them that it is as lethal to the heavy armor.
The crossbow arrows were like locusts, and the Youzhou cavalry under the heavy black armor was hit by a strong crossbow. The horse neighed, the arrows penetrated into the heavy armor, and the first seven or eight heavy horsemen who broke into the array of arrows were suddenly shot on their backs, and after more than 20 horses, people and horses were hit by three or four, five or six arrows, but they insisted on charging, and there was a rider and a horse who were even hit by a dozen arrows but still moved forward.
The cavalry charges, the crossbowman always has only one round of chance, so the crossbowmen are all back, only two hundred crossbows what three shots, it is also exempt, the crossbowmen just retreated behind the archer, raised the bow slightly high, to the heavy cavalry a round of rapid shooting.
Li Chongjiu's county soldiers are all strong bows that can shoot one and a half stones, and there are even strong men who can shoot two stones of strong bows, which is definitely more than enough for ordinary cavalry, but this once ran into Youzhou Iron Cavalry.
This time, the bow and arrows were discounted, and the iron armor failed one after another, and the current Youzhou cavalry was immediately filled with more arrows, but no one fell off their horses, which was simply impossible to break the defense.
Only twenty paces, the archers' eyes widened in disbelief.
Get down!
Zhao Quanting had already issued an order, and there was no time to think about the redundancy, the archers were all in accordance with the training order, and they all crawled on the ground with their heads in their hands, and they were lying on the ground, and countless spears on their heads stood up in an instant, and the long cards next to their feet were firmly rooted on the ground.
This was an infantry phalanx with spears and heavy shields, but the Youzhou cavalry did not dare to attack, and when they rushed closer, they danced on their horses (Note 1).
In the Sui and Tang dynasties of this era, Cheng Biting Jin actually did not take a plate axe, but a horse lance, Qin Qiong did not use a cooked copper mace, and he also took a horse lance when he went into battle. I saw the brave Youzhou cavalry, holding the horse lance flat, turning the horse's head, smashing the horse lance horizontally with a wave of both hands, stabbing the foot spear, or through the foot spear, the horse lance poked at the wooden shield with ease, and directly hit the bang with a straight sound.
Immediately, several foot shields were broken, the foot soldiers holding spears panicked, and the Youzhou cavalry on the heels of several horsemen seized the opportunity, and danced the horse lance in their hands to be impenetrable, and killed directly into the infantry formation.
Where can the long knives of the infantry shield soldiers break the armor, only the spears can be used, and the county soldiers are also well-trained, and they were a little flustered, and at that moment more than a dozen foot spears were stabbed together. The foot spear poked out seventeen or eighteen holes through the horse lance, and the dull sound of broken bones into the flesh was simply sour, but the opponent's strength with a thousand catties on the horse was irresolvable, and it smashed into the formation fiercely, breaking a hole in the step formation.
Mo sword soldiers, spearmen, and foot lance pawns wanted to plug this gap, but it was too late, and the Youzhou Iron Cavalry frantically swarmed towards Kouzi like bloody sharks.
This is the way of the dignified cavalry, if you want to smash the glass, do not be afraid of bleeding from your fists, use all your strength, and strike hard with absolute speed and power. said it was very brave, but it was Li Chongjiu's own phalanx that was defeated.
Li Chongjiu in the distance saw one human body after another, being knocked away by the barbaric and being crushed, his heart was about to break, his two thousand county soldiers were finished, Luo Yi really taught himself a hard lesson, what is the Great Sui strong army, what is the heavy iron horse.
Li Chongjiu suddenly realized that although he had been crisscrossing the grassland for a long time, he had 40,000 or 50,000 troops under his command, but there was no elite army. It's a pity that he was a businessman before, not a soldier.
Li Chongjiu immediately yelled at Wang Mahan: "Give me to surround this Youzhou cavalry, and not one of them will be allowed to go." ”
Li Chongjiu personally went into battle with the Wansheng army, facing the left flank of the Youzhou Iron Cavalry that was breaking the formation, and Wang Mahan outflanked from the right flank, and behind him, the grassland rangers of Ying Hefu also completed the outflanking, and cooperated with Li Chongjiu and Wang Mahan to implement the encirclement on all sides.
Luo Yizheng on the side was full of interest when his son broke Li Chongjiu's phalanx, and he also saw Li Chongjiu's intention to send troops to surround him. Luo Yi raised his horsewhip and said, "Mother, this market still wants to eat Lao Tzu's iron horse, is it so easy?" ”
At that moment, Luo Yi personally led his 1,000 light cavalry, as well as 1,000 cavalry from Gao Kaidao's reinforcement Ashina Kush, and stepped forward to reinforce together.
Here, Luo Cheng danced with a horse lance and a white robe stained red with blood, and led a thousand iron cavalry to chisel through Li Chong's nine or two thousand foot soldiers, killing and wounding more than 500 people at the cost of more than ten horsemen, and comprehensively defeating 2,000 foot soldiers. At this time, Luo Cheng also saw the formation surrounded on all sides.
Heavy cavalry generally does not touch light cavalry, heavy cavalry can not outrun the other party, and is harassed by the opponent's bow and arrow, but the cavalry's riding bow generally does not break the heavy cavalry armor, but if it is the horse bar of the grassland horse, it can be easily dragged off the horse one by one.
Luo Cheng was brave but not reckless, and immediately led the army to retreat.
Luo Yi's Youzhou cavalry and Eto cavalry fought fiercely together, and neither side was a heavy cavalry. For Luo Yi and Da Sui, after all, the cost of building an armored cavalry is too great, but the Youzhou light cavalry should not be underestimated.
After a fierce battle between the two sides, Ashina Kush led hundreds of cavalry to join Luo Yi's cavalry, and at this time, Li Chongjiu was leading the cavalry of Wansheng Army to kill.
The Turkic special service Ashina Kush saw a general in the opposing army wearing a white black iron armor, and immediately knew that it was a big fish. Ashina Kush opened his bow and shot an arrow, and the other party was also looking at it, and after the other party turned sideways to avoid the arrow on his horse, he turned to control the bow and shot seven arrows in a row.
Ashina Kush was caught off guard, he didn't expect the opponent's arrow to shoot so fast, after avoiding the first three arrows, the fourth arrow couldn't be avoided.
Ashina Kush popped off his horse and planted it with four arrows stuck in his body.
Note 1: It is said that Wei Chigong and Shan Xiongxin are all playing with Zhangba horse lance.
