Large-scale cavalry impact on the defense line, such a scene He Ping is also the first time to actually see, although he has seen several battles before, but basically both sides do not have camps and defense lines, but directly confront in the field, although in that kind of confrontation, the moment when the troops on both sides collide is also very spectacular, but one side impacts the other side's defense line, such a scene, the impact is not weak at all.

The number of cavalry of the Qi family is obviously more than that of the Li family, in a second-level civilized world like the military world, even if the soldiers generally have the habit of practicing martial arts, the skills of using weapons are quite good, and the personal combat effectiveness is very strong, but in a large-scale battle like this, with the basic number and momentum, as well as formation and command, in such a battle, the cavalry can already be regarded as a large-scale kill. Wounded weapons, it can even be said that the combat effectiveness of a leader's troops is directly related to the number of cavalry.

On the battlefield dominated by cold weapons, as long as the formed cavalry units can have enough distance to increase the speed of the war horse charge to the maximum, then the infantry will definitely not be able to stop, if the equipment and strength of the infantry and other factors are very average, the cavalry troops may even directly penetrate the infantry, and then wear back from the other side, the infantry has no advantage in the face of the cavalry, and can only rely on the number of formations, and equipment, to resist the impact of the cavalry.

The Qi family has a lot of cavalry, and a big reason is that the Qi family, as a merchant family, can often bring back a lot of good things from other lords, plus they have long had trade dealings with the Auckland side. And after relations deteriorated and the war began, trade continued in secret. Therefore, they were even able to bring back a lot of good things from Auckland, and the Qi family has made a lot of contributions to the world in promoting the integration and development of civilizations.

Among the good things brought back by the Qi family, there are horses from all over the world, in fact, in this world where horses and carriages are the main transportation, even if it is not very deliberate, the caravans that often run around will often change horses. On the one hand, it is because of injuries and illnesses that make it impossible for their original horses to continue driving, and on the other hand, the local horses are of course more suitable for the local terrain and climate wherever they go. Changing horses is inevitable.

As a result, Pinghua Collar brings together a variety of horses from all over Tianhua and Auckland, which are mixed and mixed. Jiao can always give birth to some very good new varieties, and the Qi family is also very smart to raise these new varieties on a large scale. Then train it as a war horse to use. The Qi family even has a lot of special military horse farms, so the Qi family is not short of war horses, and naturally there is no shortage of cavalry, and the Li family is very pitiful, their war horses, in fact, many of them are just horses specially used for weight bearing and ploughing, and then select the better ones to act as war horses.

The Qi family did not lack cavalry, so they could invest a large number of cavalry to attack the Li family's defense line. And the Li family did not have the strength to confront the Qi family on equal terms, so it was impossible for them to pull their troops to the plains and confront the Qi family head-on. Only by establishing a camp, setting up a defensive line and a trap to alleviate the charge of the Qi cavalry, as long as the cavalry loses the impact, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, and at that time the Li family will have the possibility of confrontation.

The speed of the cavalry is very fast, almost the moment after the Qi family's troops began to charge, the cavalry has already rushed to the front of the Li family's defense line, and then, the trap is launched, the simple trap of the horse pit is still very effective for the cavalry, and there is no need to deliberately camouflage, some of the horse traps are dark pits, the pits are relatively deep, and some camouflage is placed on them, which can allow the cavalry to step on them and fall down without knowing it, and some are directly open pits, just digging a pit, but the speed of the cavalry is too fast, The density is too high, there is no space and time to dodge, and the slightest negligence will cause you to fall.

The cavalry fell in the process of charging, that is basically certain death, the speed of the war horse is so fast, falling from the top must be injured, it is likely to be seriously injured, and once injured, there is no ability to dodge the trampling of other cavalry behind, and the cavalry and war horse that fall in front will also hinder the cavalry behind, so that the cavalry's charge slows down, so the horse pit is a very effective and very simple means to deal with cavalry for infantry.

Even if the cavalry of the Qi family is well-trained, but in the face of such a simple and crude trap, the previous training is useless, and soon, many of the cavalry who rushed to the front were tripped by the horse pit and fell to the ground.

However, the next two defenses, the rejection of the horse and the arrow tower, these two ways are more flexible and more convenient than the previous trap, but in the same way, the effect is not as good as the trap, at this time, the Qi family's troops have rushed to the front of the rejection of the horse, the rejection of the horse itself is a fence tied with sharpened wooden sticks, if the cavalry charges without paying attention, it will even hit the people and horses on it, resulting in casualties and slowdown, but it is clear that the Qi family's troops are not helpless in the face of this old-fashioned trap.

Although there is no good way to deal with the previous horse trap, but the rejection of the horse is different, because the rejection of the horse is not a fixed trap, and the trapping of the horse is different, the rejection of the horse is already tied up, and then put on the battlefield, flexible also means that the foundation is unstable, Qi Jiachong in the front of those cavalry are holding forks that are longer than the general spear, they put the extra-long fork flat early, and then several people work together to directly use the fork to pick up the rejection horse from the ground and throw it aside.

The rejection of the horse is only effective when it is placed horizontally, and the action surface is too small if it is placed vertically, and it is easy to be dodged, and the rejection of the horse is only tied up with a rope, and some defective products that are completed in a hurry, or the remnants that have not been overhauled for too long, are directly scattered by the cavalry, so although there are many rejections released by the Li family, there are very few that can play a role, and there is not much damage and slowdown caused to the cavalry of the Qi family.

Although the effect of the arrow tower is a little better than the rejection of the horse, but the number is too small to form a scale, of course, if there is no arrow tower, the archers of the Li family can also shoot, but in that case, the range is not enough, with the speed of the cavalry, the archers on the ground have no time to shoot a few arrows, and the cavalry has already rushed to the front, therefore, in the end, the only thing that can play a role is the trap of the horse, and once the cavalry of the Qi family crosses this difficulty, the road after that is much simpler.

He Ping, Wen Fang and several squad leaders all saw through the binoculars at this time that the generals of the Songjiang Led Army had begun to organize the troops at this time, and it was obvious that they were also very aware of the role that the trap could play was like this, and the rest could only rely on their soldiers to complete it personally, and soon, under the command of the generals, the shield soldiers and pikemen gathered behind the gate and fence of the camp, ready to resist the impact of the Qi cavalry.

He Ping and Wen Fang and other onlookers held their breath, whether the Li family's troops can resist the attack of the Qi family's troops, the key depends on this first cavalry charge, although He Ping does not think that the Qi family can break through the Li family's camp in the first charge, but as long as the gate and fence of the camp are damaged to a certain extent, they can quickly break through the defense line of the camp and face to face with the Li family's troops.

He Ping looked at the Li family's camp, and began to assess the strength of the camp, it seems, the gate seems to be pretty good, although it is also wooden, but it is very thick, even if it is a cavalry, it is difficult to clash quickly, but the fence next to it is very ordinary, although it seems to be made of thicker wooden stakes nailed into the ground in a row, and the top has also been sharpened, but the problem is that the soil in this area is not solid, relatively soft, such a fence is naturally unstable, in the face of the impact of the cavalry, it seems to be a little insufficient.
