991 took a lesson

Gao Xin looked at the two groups of cavalry that rushed out of the Thousand Mountains Army, and these cavalrymen were dressed strangely.

They wore shiny helmets on their heads, but they were dressed in clothes full of rivets.

This outfit is a bit weird in Gao Xin's opinion.

He didn't understand very much, in fact, with the strength of Qianshan City, they could completely match these cavalry with heavy armor!

But why do they dress their soldiers in such strange equipment?

He knew that in fact, these cavalrymen were wearing, but in the past year or so, they had only begun to become popular in the Qianshan Army.

In fact, when choosing standard equipment for the Qianshan Army, Yang Yinuan really wanted to equip the soldiers with plate armor.

After all, our Qianshan City is not bad for money, and it is not that we can't afford to equip it.

But the problem is that after a few trainings, both he and Grande discovered a problem.

That's the kind of European-style plate armor, which looks really beautiful, but it's too bulky to wear on a soldier.

The infantry is fine, find some Hercules, you can.

But the cavalry is very troublesome, although the war horses on the Falken Star are very good, and they are better than the war horses on the Blue Star.

The physique is much stronger, but it is also very difficult to charge back and forth with a man in full iron armor.

Especially on the battlefield, when the battle situation has entered a state of scorching, and relying on cavalry cannot determine the victory or defeat in one battle.

The heavy cavalry in full-body plate armor was simply a bunch of useless waste.

Considering the problem of cost-effectiveness ratio, in the end, Yang Yinuan gave the soldiers, especially the cavalry, more armor.

This kind of armor is made by combining the techniques of armor and cotton armor in the history of the Yan Kingdom.

In the infantry, most of them are equipped with cheap cotton armor, which is more durable and easy to maintain.

The cavalry, on the other hand, wore armor.

Leather armor, covered with iron sheets, and then fastened with rivets.

Some cavalrymen, in order to increase their deception, like to paint their iron armor black, so in Gao Xin's opinion, these Thousand Mountains Army is wearing a strange layer of armor.

This is also the equipment that Yang Yinuan equipped the soldiers after careful comparison.

And he didn't choose a European-style cuirass, because that kind of cuirass seems to be heavy, but in fact the range that can be covered is quite limited.

It can only protect the chest and back, and the armor he chooses has a larger protective area.

In addition to the vital parts of the upper body, the arms and thighs and other key parts can also be protected.

Even when soldiers dismount to fight, having such a suit of armor can also turn soldiers into hoplites.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Yang Yinuan equipped the Qianshan Army with a large number of armor.

At this time, seeing the two columns of cavalry in the Qianshan Army rushing over, Gao Xin also smiled coldly and waved the signal flag.

Immediately, two columns of cavalry rushed out from the camp of the Gao family army and met the cavalry of the Qianshan army.

He had long known the strength of the Thousand Mountains Army, and naturally it was impossible not to prepare at all.

Yang Yinuan on the opposite side had been watching the battlefield with a telescope, and when he saw the cavalry on the opposite side, he was also stunned.

Especially when he saw that the war horses ridden by those cavalrymen were not the traditional war horses he had ever seen.

It's a guy who is on the short side, but has an exceptionally thick build.

Seeing this thing, a thought popped into his mind, isn't this a hippopotamus?

Then he quickly remembered that he had seen this thing before.

This is not the earliest time when he helped Gao Xin restore the country, Gao Peng invited the coalition army, and there was a Qin family from Nuanzhou from the west.

Their army is said to have such a very unique cavalry, called the Iron Cavalry.

This war horse, which is not ridden in the middle, is suitable for this kind of horse, which is said to be their specialty, and is rarely taken out.

It seems to be called a tin horse.

And this thing has a very rough temperament, and it is difficult for the average rider to control this kind of horse.

I didn't expect wow, this Gaoxin actually got this kind of horse, it seems that this kid has been preparing for today's thing for a long time!

He probably also knows that it may be difficult for him to overcome himself by relying on positive strength alone.

That's why these tactical weapons were prepared......

Not to mention, there was such a group of cavalry riding iron horses rushing up, and they really entangled the two cavalry sent out by Yang Yinuan at once.

The cavalry of the Thousand Mountains Army did not want to fight, they wanted to bypass the Gao family's big array.

And those cavalry of the Gao family were on guard around the Gao family's big array.

As soon as they rushed over, these high-priced cavalrymen would rush up on iron horses and drive them out.

Let them not be able to get close to the large array of the Gao family's army.

At this time, the stone bullets flying from behind the dirt slope where Gao Jiajun was located were even more dense and violent.

Their main targets were those catapult artillery trucks in front of the Thousand Mountains Army, and it seems that Gao Xin also understood.

If you want to defeat the Thousand Mountains Army, you first have to destroy these long-range strike weapons in the hands of the Thousand Mountains Army.

Once the Qianshan Army is deprived of these technical weapons, then the combat effectiveness will at least drop a lot.

And at this time, the advantages of the catapult artillery vehicle of the Qianshan Army were reflected.

And don't forget that it's called a catapult cart, and these cannons are mounted on horse-drawn carts.

Seeing that the enemy's firepower was so dense, Yang Yinuan immediately gave an order, and the carriages began to move rapidly.

And one of the advantages of them is that they can keep firing as they move constantly.

This is where in this day and age, where all ranged weapons cannot match them.

The spear formation of the Gao family army, which was slowly marching on the opposite side, suffered a lot in front of this mobile artillery car.

A few moments later, a swarm of oil bombs came out of the cannon, and many of the spearmen were burned to death.

After a while, they shot a large number of stone projectiles.

Although these stone projectiles are not the size of watermelons projected by catapults, even if they are only the size of fists, they can't stop them.

What's more, although this Gao family army also equipped the soldiers with iron armor, although their iron armor was formally imitated from the plate armor of the Qianshan Army.

But they only have iron, not steel, so the protection of this iron armor can be imagined.

If the fist-sized stone bullet is strong enough, it will be a pit when it is smashed.

Soon, those spear formations that were slowly moving forward had already been smashed out of the gaps.

Gao Xin, who was on the high slope in the distance, saw such a scene, and his eyes were about to pop out of his sockets.

He originally thought that the Gao Jiajun, who had been trained by hard work, should be able to fight with the Qianshan Army, right?

But reality taught him a hard lesson.

This battle had just begun, and before the two sides could meet each other, his Gao family army had already suffered heavy casualties.

And looking at the other party's Qianshan Army, he didn't even hurt a single hair.

Seeing this, Gao Xin immediately issued an order, and the trebuchet adjusted its target and began to bombard the opponent's phalanx......
