The war in the era of cold weapons is extremely cruel, bloody and inhumane, and the war scenes in film and television works are actually a bit fallacious.

For example, the ancient Ge and halberd, the sickle-shaped barb, in fact, was used to match the chariot, the chariot at that time was like the tank of later generations, belonging to heavy ordnance, equipped with a Ge hand, pulled by horses, Ge hand Ge or halberd stretched out, the chariot roared past, and the enemy's head was harvested in large pieces.

Therefore, those who wear helmets crookedly and stab around with Ge and halberds in film and television works can only be seen as funny films.

And in many films and television films with the theme of the Three Kingdoms, a certain general rode a war horse, went on a rampage, killed seven in and seven out, and engaged in all kinds of tricks on horseback, which is unrealistic.

Because the war horses at that time still lacked one thing, which was very small, but changed the course of the entire war history, that is, the stirrup.

Without stirrups, it is difficult to sit firmly on the horse's back, you need to clamp the horse's belly with your thighs to maintain balance, and you need to hold on to the reins without falling off the horse.

The stirrup was invented later by the northern nomads, and after the invention of the stirrup, the hands were freed and it was possible to rush and kill in the battle array.

Of course, the cavalry clash relied on the force of impact, and it was not quite appropriate for common sense that the two horses stood still and stabbed each other on the horseback.

As for those who fought on the ground after falling from their horses, they were also messing around, and the formed cavalry roared by, so it's no wonder if you don't trample to death.

This is only the case of heavy cavalry, in the case of light cavalry, it is a different scene.

The reason why the agricultural armies of the Central Plains were repeatedly defeated by the northern nomads and could only rely on the Great Wall to defend against these foreign enemies was because the nomads had the ability to shoot on horseback.

The cavalry did not collide with the formation, but took advantage of the high mobility of the war horse, circled the infantry, and constantly shot arrows on horseback, and the infantry could not touch a single hair of the cavalry, and they would be shot to death one by one, which was the correct way to open the light cavalry.

If it weren't for Yang Jing having seen several major battles, he would have been deceived by movies and televisions, but at this time, he had already deeply realized how domineering cavalry, especially heavy cavalry, was in the era of cold weapons!

Even if the first wave of spear throwers was the only wave of spear throwing, they instantly knocked down more than 300 cavalry of the opponent, but the remaining 600 or so could still form a powerful enough charging formation!

Yang Jing is like a catkins in the wind, and the cavalry can't touch his body at all, but he can't stop these cavalry with his own strength.

This torrent of steel rumbled into the wall of the Viking Iron Skeleton's defenses!

"Hold on!"

The ghost sails crossed the pair of giant axes, which were used as big shields, and the shoulders were stubbornly resisted, and the brothers behind them were one by one, one by one, one by one, everyone gritted their teeth, this was a collision of steel and flesh!

If the iron spears of the spear throwers are still there, they may be able to use the iron spears to support the ground and set up a gun forest, like a deer repelling a horse, to resist the enemy's cavalry, but unfortunately in their hands, there are only short knives left!

"Boom!"

The cavalry roared, and in an instant, they tore apart the Vikings' formation, and the strong Vikings were knocked out, and some were stabbed by the knight's iron spear or lance, and some were directly crushed into meat sauce!

However, these hindered cavalry also had a large number of fallen horsemen, and the spearmen behind were not afraid of death, and rushed up like wild beasts, tore and fought with the fallen horsemen, and used their short knives to penetrate the body of the cavalry through the gaps in their armor!

Many of them who fought with each other were about to kill the enemy, but they withstood the charge of the next wave of knights, and they were trampled beyond recognition in an instant!

As it turned out, the Vikings had a strong defense, and their great axes had an extremely powerful advantage in both slashing horses and heavy armor!

If it is the waist knife of other infantry, even if the opponent falls from the horse, those heavy armor are also extremely strong, and the ordinary waist knife is straight, and it is difficult to break the armor.

Perhaps only the Mo knife, which has been prevalent since the Great Sui and Tang Dynasties, or the later Pu knife, can deal with such heavy armor.

Of course, even in the Tang Dynasty, the Mo knife is also a heavy weapon of soldiers, and without a single ability, it is impossible to summon the Mo knife, and it is impossible to become a large-scale standard weapon.

It is regarded as the peak of sword forging by later generations, and not everyone has it, the Tang Dynasty is a government military system, and many people are bankrupt, and they are afraid that they can't afford a good Tang knife.

And the Vikings dealt with the Grim Reaper almost every day, bargaining with the death knights, their great axes and daggers, their iron spears and round shields, they relied on them to survive!

They can squander the plundered money on drinking, gambling and **, but in terms of weapons, no one will be reluctant to spend money, because the weapons in their hands determine how long they can live!

Giant axes and even long-handled axes, for heavy cavalry, has a great restraint effect, the Vikings originally had more than 500, the mercenary group here more than 200 spearmen, although the two sides fought a battle, but the casualties were not as serious as imagined, and now there are six or seven hundred people.

And a thousand Mongol heavy horsemen, shot by a round of javelins by spearmen, plus falling horses, colliding and crushing each other, lost more than 300, and now there are more than 600 left.

These more than 600 pairs of 6 or 700 Vikings and Mamluk mercenaries are evenly matched in numbers, but they are different in momentum.

The heavy cavalry charged into battle, and they also paid attention to their breath, but don't forget, Yang Jing was like a barb stuck in their throats, destroying the rhythm and momentum of their charge all the time!

Thundered!

The horse's legs are constantly cut off, or directly broken, or because the momentum is too great, and directly broken, there are constantly cavalry falling from the horse, and the war horse that flies straight out falls down, and the weight of the armor is easy to crush people to death.

Ghost Fan bore the brunt of the attack, and was buried in the pile of war horses and corpses on the spot, trampled by the cavalry behind him, and it took a long time before he crawled out of the pile of flesh and blood, his face was covered with blood and sludge, and only a pair of eyes were still shining with murderous light!

"Fight back!"

He struggled to lift the pair of giant axes, and they actually killed them!

Chang Shen Yue Ping held the big gun, his body was pressed very low and very low, the war horse charged, hit his big gun, pushed him back more than a dozen steps, the gun was pressed like a bow, he was dead, his face was red, he screamed, the big gun passed through the body of the war horse, and the horse's head was next to his shoulder!

His feet were already in the snow, almost drowning his knees, but with this loud shout, all his brute force poured out, and he knocked the war horse away!

Swish!

Chang Shenyue pulled out a big spear full of blood, and the hot blood and internal organs of the war horse immediately sprayed him!

All kinds of tragic scenes are being staged, after the charge, the two sides fell into a melee stage, at this time it was the ghost fan and Chang Shenyue's side that took the lead, because there was no war horse, the knights in heavy armor were really cumbersome, and it was very laborious to dodge and move, if the other party only had a waist knife, maybe they couldn't hurt them, but their opponent was a Viking with a giant axe, and a Mamluk mercenary who could kill people with a short knife!

Seeing that Yang Jing's side was about to win, there was another cannon fire in front of him, and a team of Mongolian light horsemen roared over, like a black hurricane!

"There are even reinforcements!"

Yang Jing couldn't help but feel nervous, he knew that in addition to Guiyou, there were people who were eyeing him, not only wanting to get rid of the Vikings, but also not wanting him Yang Jing to leave the northern grassland alive, but he didn't expect these people to be able to smell blood and chase here!

Lin Jue was covered in blood and crawled out of the pile of dead people, as a scout, his eyesight was excellent, and when he looked at it, he could see clearly the banner of the Mongolian pursuers.

"Sir, it's under the banner of the Kereh Ministry!"

Lin Jue and many scouts of the secret inspectors will inquire about the military situation along the way, and they have not found this chasing army, and only then did they wake up to the fact that these pursuers did not set off from Helin, but were dispatched from the nearest Kereh Department!

This is the territory of the Kerebu, and the only people who can mobilize the cavalry of the Kereb are the people of Meng Ge's family.

And among the people in Meng Ge's family, the one who doesn't want to see Yang Jing leave alive is the one Yang Jing can only think of, and that is Yale Taryn!

"Hurry up and move the rescuers!" Yang Jing wiped out the head of a cavalryman with a knife, and he didn't care about the blood spurted, and ordered Lin Jue loudly.

However, the sound of horses' hooves came from the northwest corner again, and Lin Jue couldn't help but be horrified, and said to Yang Jing: "Sir, I'm afraid it's too late!"

Yale Taryn didn't think about keeping her alive at all, if it was earlier, she might have left Yang Jing's life and tortured Yang Jing well, so that Yang Jing's life was worse than death.

But now that she has made up her mind to kill, she actually dispatched the light cavalry of the Keree Department to surround her from all directions, leaving Yang Jing with no chance at all!

"Shrink the formation!"

Yang Jing made a quick decision, and those heavy cavalry were almost wiped out, and the Vikings and Mamluk mercenaries also suffered many casualties, but there were still hundreds of people who survived.

There are a lot of wounded soldiers here, some people have broken bones, some people are blind, all kinds of injuries, and so on, but whether it is a Viking or a Mamluk mercenary, they are all professional soldiers who regard death as if they were at home, and they are experienced in a hundred battles, and few people shout!

"Pile up the corpses!" Yang Jing was not good at commanding battles, so he set his eyes on Ghost Fan at this time, and Ghost Fan knew what Yang Jing meant, but he set his sights on the spear thrower.

Ghost Fan is the leader of the Vikings, brave and fearless, which is not worth anything, but when it comes to commanding battles, he still has some self-knowledge, knowing that the spear thrower will command the whole situation, and the outcome will be better.

After all, there is still a big difference between the Vikings and the Mamluk mercenary group, the Vikings advocate individual heroism, loose discipline, and no one obeys anyone, but the Mamluk mercenary group has excellent team combat experience.

As soon as the spear thrower gave the order, the corpses of the horses and knights were all brought over and piled up on all sides like sandbags.

These horses and knights are heavily armoured, and they are most suitable for defense.

Yang Jing wiped the blood on his face and checked the personnel, except for Countess Ashley, who was slightly injured, the people around him were all safe and sound, but it was the Mamluk spearman, who had already lost most of them, and as for the Vikings, there were many injuries, but only about twenty died on the spot.

Such a low casualty rate also made Yang Jing feel very surprised and shocked, no wonder the Vikings and Mamluks were so feared, if these spear throwers had the cooperation and protection of the shield man, I am afraid that they would not die so much.

Leviathan and Deer Whitefish are treating the wounded, Leviathan belongs to the Western witch doctors, and although mysterious, as a Viking healer, he is more skilled in surgery.

And Lu Baiyu is a Gu master, and the methods of treating injuries are naturally different, although the two of them go their own way, they are also secretly observing each other, and they are also surprised by each other's treatment methods.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, the cold wind was becoming more and more severe, and in the defensive ring surrounded by corpses, everyone showed resolute but somewhat frightened eyes, but the black hurricane not far away gradually surrounded it!
