In the fierce battle, a gap suddenly appeared in the circle of defense, and with this gap, a large number of rebel soldiers poured in, but they were greeted by the hook and sickle under their feet, that is, the spears interspersed from the car formation, but in an instant, the hundreds of volunteer soldiers who had originally broken into the large array were dead.

There are also the remaining 100 people, who are also frightened and terrified.

At this time, there was the sound of a war horse galloping, like the waves roaring, and a scimitar with a handle slashed out, either cutting the neck, or shattering the armor, or being hit by the war horse and dying.

At this time, three hundred heavy cavalry were the leader, wearing heavy armor, and the war horses were also wearing war armor, the men and horses were one, and the whole body was covered with iron armor, like a moving iron tower, no need for superfluous movements, only need to charge forward, only need to gallop the horses is enough, the impact of the horses is enough to block the soldiers in front, the impact of the powder bones, enough to destroy the infantry defensive formation.

The average sword slashed at it, and there was no reaction at all; Ordinary spears are stabbed away, either sliding away by the armor leaves, or slightly wounded; The arrows that come from the bow and arrow are also difficult to hurt.

Watching the heavy armored cavalry charge, Zhao Pu's heart was full of joy and a hint of pride.

In this era, the heavy cavalry is the heavy tank, the Tiger tank, and the Leopard II.

Until the horsepower is not exhausted, before the lone army penetrates, the heavy cavalry is almost invincible.

In the history books, it is said that the Yuejia army cut the cavalry and the horse's legs, and as a result, they destroyed the Tiefutu and the kidnapping horses. But in this era, after joining the army for a long time, and communicating with Wang Yan and others for a long time, I realized that this was just a false rumor by later generations, which was indeed a means for infantry to resist cavalry, but it was not as mythical as the legend.

The huge impact force of the heavy cavalry hit the infantry almost to pieces, and there was no time to cut off the horse's legs; Moreover, when the heavy cavalry moves, the cavalry will block with weapons, and will not stand there dead and let the horse's legs be chopped; And most importantly, the horses had aprons, and in order to prevent the legs of the horses from being cut down, there was a skirt under the body of the horses, and only the short calves of the horses were exposed.

Chopping a horse's leg is a technical job, and it is difficult to cut a horse's leg when the horse is running; Only when the war horse leaps in the air is the best time to start. And cutting off the horse's leg, even if it succeeds in the end, will be trampled to death by the huge impact force of the war horse, so this requires courage, the courage to die with the enemy.

There is a high failure rate in chopping horse legs.

When the heavy cavalry was dispatched, it was often followed by the infantry, flanked by light cavalry. When the heavy cavalry ran out of horsepower, they had already retreated to the rear under the cover of light cavalry or infantry, leaving no hole for the enemy to drill at all. No one would be foolish enough to let the heavy cavalry run out of horsepower without infantry protection, or light cavalry protection; There is also no military idiot who will let the heavy cavalry, alone in the depths, without the assistance of other troops. In short, chopping a horse's leg is an unrealistic, unreliable, somewhat fantastical tactic.

Of course, there are also successful examples of cutting horses' legs, such as heavy cavalry continuous battles, when the horsepower is exhausted, when they can't run, when they are about to explode again, and there is no infantry cover, no light cavalry to assist in the battle, then the horse's legs will be successful. But this is just a fantasy, such a good thing is not more reliable than winning the 5 million jackpot.

In the ever-changing battle situation, he caught that trace of the fighter, separated the heavy armored cavalry from the infantry and light cavalry, and finally successfully cut off the horse's legs and annihilated the heavy armored cavalry, only Yue Fei. Only Yue Fei succeeded, in fact, this tactic was only succeeded by Yue's army, and the imitators of later generations were often bloody.

These three hundred heavy armored cavalry are also the only heavy armored cavalry of the Eight-Character Army.

This was also the first battle of the hoplites.

With the impact of the heavy cavalry, a hole was immediately opened, and one by one the soldiers were either knocked down by the war horses, or were hit by iron spears, heavy hammers, heavy whips and other weapons, and their bones were broken and tendons were broken. In an instant, the besieged formation was shocked and scattered, and it charged forward so quickly, cutting through the formation of the rebels.

At this moment, the heavy armored cavalry has only one mission, that is, to kill from the east to the west, chisel through the formation of the rebels, impact the Chinese army of the rebels, make the formation out of a short mess, break the rhythm of the rebels' battle, so that the generals of the rebels panic and fear, and thus make mistakes step by step. The more mistakes the enemy makes, the more chances of victory.

This is also the secret of the victory of the heavy cavalry.

The heavy cavalry, after all, is not a Tiger tank, nor is it a Leopard II. Tiger tank, Leopard II, as long as there is sufficient logistical support, can continue to advance for hundreds of miles to chase and kill the enemy; However, the heavy cavalry could not do it, but they only charged four or five miles, but the horsepower loss was huge, and they were unable to fight again.

It is simply impossible to crush the enemy with heavy cavalry. Heavy cavalry, with an emphasis on deterring the enemy, powerful impact, invulnerability protection, brought great fear to the enemy, which led to the mistake of the commander, which led to the collapse of the whole army.

If you encounter some stubborn troops, even if the damage is more than seven floors, it is still an infantry army that will not retreat, and the heavy cavalry will often be devastated, and will be dragged alive by the enemy.

It's like, in terms of history, it is only written that the Yuejia army cut the horse's legs, and it seems that the horse's legs can defeat the heavy armored cavalry Tiefutu, but I don't know how many Yuejia soldiers died in order to consume the horsepower of the heavy cavalry.

Zhao Pu doesn't think that the heavy armored cavalry is invincible, once it is divided and surrounded, cut off from the infantry and light cavalry, the heavy armored cavalry is the material for making dumplings.

All of this depends on the general's command ability and super control of the battlefield.

At this time, the heavily armored cavalry encountered the first difficulty, and the trebuchets hidden in the rebel army's large array were revealed, like hideous devils.

"Put!"

At the moment of throwing, the fire oil in the clay pot ignited, and the flames flew in the sky, smashing into the heavy armored cavalry one by one.

One by one, the heavy armored cavalry dodged, but there were still clay pots smashed on the body, and the flames burned immediately, and the fire oil in a clay pot was enough to burn for a while, and three or four, or even more clay pots were smashed on the body, that is, one by one, the fire man, the armor of this era was not of good quality, the thermal conductivity was excellent, and soon the skin was burned. Some of the flames burned on the horse, and the war horse was afraid of fire immediately, so it jumped up in a hurry, and the neat heavy cavalry hit the formation, and there was a trace of scattering.

"Not good!" Zhao Pu was secretly anxious in his heart. It turned out to be a fire oil breaking heavy infantry, which is not fun. Once the oil in the clay pot is smashed on the body of the heavily armored cavalry, and the flame burns, it is a barbecue.

However, at this moment, Zhao Pu can't panic, can't have a trace of nervousness, can only look calm, so as to give confidence to the whole army.

And as the clay pots flew out one by one, the flames flew one by one, and the hoplites were either burned to death or fell off their horses, as if the destruction of the hoplites was imminent.

"Fire and water are ruthless, are you going to die like this?" A trace of pain flashed in Zhao Pu's eyes.

"Toot toot!" The horns of the cavalry continued to sound.

When fighting infantry, you can use drums, gongs, and flags to command large armies; But in cavalry combat, drums, gongs, and flags have no effect at all. In the galloping of the war horses, the noise was so loud that the commander shouted at the top of his voice, and he could not hear it at all. Therefore, the cavalry commander mostly relied on the horn, sounded the trumpet to express the meaning, and relied on the horn to command the army.

An excellent cavalry general can use a horn to blow sounds of different rhythms, some to express the charge, some to express the withdrawal of troops, and some to express simple meanings such as changing formations.

And the cavalry can determine how to fight according to the sound of the horn blowing by the superior.

With the sound of the horn, the panicked heavy cavalry seemed to have found a collective feeling, and in the sound of the horn, the idea of charging was heard.

The sound of the horn was quick and bloody, just repeating one meaning, charge.

The heavily armored cavalry, who was originally in flames, endured the severe pain on their bodies and charged forward, aiming directly at the Chinese army of the righteous army.
