The god of the battlefield of Western Xia, the Iron Harrier.

This is the legend of the Iron Harrier, in the historical records of the Western Xia, every time the Western Xia wants the emperor to finish on the battlefield, the Iron Harrier will be born, turn the tide, and turn defeat into victory.

The Iron Harrier is a super killing class on the battlefield of this era, writing their own legend with one victory after another. Heavy cavalry iron armor, war horse armor, and iron cables connecting the left and right cavalry, before stepping on the war horse and rushing into the enemy in an invincible posture, the iron harrier seems to be nothing more than an ordinary cavalry wrapped in iron bumps. It's just that it looks bigger, taller, darker, and harder.

It's black and hard, and it makes sense, but before the knife falls on the top of the head, it always gives people the impression that it's just so ordinary.

Even if it is an iron harrier that runs, the iron hoof is heavier than the light cavalry. In particular, the technology is not as good as that of the Central Plains, and the Western Xia, which is subject to the level of craftsmen, makes the shape of the iron harrier bloated, and there is no heroic spirit, just like a big man riding on a war horse with an iron can on the same iron shoulders, which looks out of place on the battlefield.

Especially the stupid ones who still have a weird mask on their faces, as if they are afraid that no one will recognize them.

But no one in the Western Army will despise the Iron Harrier, and even the timid soldier will turn around in fear and want to run away the moment he sees the Iron Harrier.

"Pang Wanchun, do you see the flaws in the party's iron harrier?"

Bows and arrows, even more powerful crossbows, even divine arm bows, are not very good against the armor of the Iron Harrier. The main reason is that Li Yuanhao, who formed the Iron Harrier at the beginning, was also worried about the lack of protection of the armor, so he increased the thickness of the armor, thus giving up the speed and reaction of the cavalry, but unexpectedly obtained the unstoppable heavy cavalry on the battlefield.

The iron harrier armor that is difficult to break even with the divine arm bow, and even the invincible means of Pang Wanchun's divine arrow, are difficult to start.

Besides, the Iron Harrier is the three super elites of Western Xia, the Iron Harrier, the Bubazi, and the Poxi Army. Among these three armies, there is undoubtedly the highest status of the Iron Harrier.

All of them are selected from the children of the nobility, and the father dies and the son succeeds, and the generations are replaced, until the children of a family die. Pang Wanchun had never even seen the face of the Iron Harrier before, but the first time he saw it, he felt a kind of grievance that was difficult to start: "My lord, the Iron Harrier can't even help the divine arm bow." In particular, the Iron Harrier also has a face armor, unless it can shoot an arrow into their eyes, other than that, it is impossible to kill them with one hit. ”

Pang Wanchun didn't say a word, although the bow in his hand was very powerful, it was a little worse than a crossbow.

The advantage of the crossbow is incomparable to that of the bow, with great power and penetration.

Li Kui was also idle before the battle started: "Then are you sure to shoot the arrow into the eye of the iron harrier?" ”

Pang Wanchun was terrified, it was true that he was a sharpshooter, but a sharpshooter couldn't do whatever he wanted on the battlefield!

If it weren't for Li Kui's noble status, Pang Wanchun wouldn't want to deal with him: "Uncle, villains can't do it." He thought for a moment and hesitated: "Even if the Iron Harrier has a weakness, but the people who have seen the weakness of the Iron Harrier have already died under the butcher's knife of the Iron Harrier, so there is no way to know the weakness of the Iron Harrier." ”

Although there was no surprise in this answer, Li Kui was also discouraged. Instead, he smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you can't do it, even if the iron harrier didn't have flaws before." After today's battle, there may no longer be the legend of the Iron Harrier in Western Xia. ”

Regarding Pang Wanchun's answer, Li Kui is still a little pity. The archer Pang Wanchun has a hobby of shooting people in the face with a bow and arrow. Of course, this is a merit and needs to be praised. After all, there are too many generals on the battlefield who have been shot as hedgehogs, but are still wearing armor and still fighting hard. If you hit the face with an arrow, you will basically fall to the ground and get up very little.

Originally, Li Kui also counted on Pang Wanchun to shoot the main general of the Iron Harrier to death with one arrow, making the battle easier. After all, the Lord is going to die, and the command of the Iron Harrier will be in trouble.

Pang Wanchun glanced at Li Kui strangely, the Iron Harrier is the killer weapon of Western Xia, the emperor's personal soldier, and the invincible existence on the battlefield, how can it be said that if defeated, it will be defeated?

You Li Kui is the aunt of the Taishi Mansion, but you are too childish to speak, right?

What's more, if you say such things in the capital, naturally no one will come to debunk you, but this is on the battlefield! The Iron Harriers are already in front of them, and the charge is in front of them. In case you are always taken away by the Iron Harrier, this bragging remark will become your old last words!

Five hundred steps.

The Iron Harrier trotted slowly and leisurely, but in a few moments the knight urged his horse.

Ordinary light cavalry only starts to accelerate after 300 paces, which can greatly reduce the consumption of horsepower. But the iron harrier does not make it, and the armor of the knight, plus the vest of the war horse, is much heavier than a person. The Great Song Dynasty's Shanwen armor weighed sixty pounds, and the well-trained soldiers could not withstand the high-intensity battle.

But the mountain armor can't stop the divine arm bow, and obviously the armor of the iron harrier is heavier and thicker.

The armor of the war horse seems to be two hundred catties smaller, plus the armor of the knight, the two are combined, without two hundred and eighty catties, it is simply impossible, and it may even reach more than three hundred catties.

The light cavalry could reach the distance of the peak speed of one hundred and fifty paces, and the Iron Harrier even needed three hundred paces to reach. Even if the Iron Harrier uses the best war horses in Western Xia.

Four hundred steps.

Li Kui visually measured the distance of the battlefield and said to Pang Wanchun: "Send a signal!" ”

Pang Wanchun ignited a rocket and shot it into the air, and the rocket suddenly exploded when it flew near the highest point. A rocket is actually an ordinary arrow with a cannon bolt tied to it. Before rockets appeared in the Great Song Army, the signal was Mingdi, the kind of hollow arrow, the arrow that would make a sharp cry like a wolf howling when flying in the air.

It didn't work out well, because the sound simply couldn't cover the entire battlefield.

Moreover, the target of Mingdi is too small, and it is not clear on the battlefield.

But the rocket does not have this problem at all, the sound is loud, and the movement is also loud, after the explosion in mid-air, there will be a cloud of black smoke, even if it is two or three miles away, it can be clearly seen.

This is the Great Song Dynasty's use of technology to improve the war, but in Li Kui's view, it is a bit misused.

Not only did Li Kui see it this way, but even the Iron Harrier Master General Qi Man, who had already sprinted in the queue, was full of disdain and muttered: "Song Jun with all the bells and whistles." ”

In the eyes of the Tangut people, the Song army was indeed so.

Especially in recent years, as gunpowder appeared more and more frequently on the battlefield, many experimental weapons appeared in the Song army. The effect is obvious, the movement is big, it can be scary, and in addition, it can also smoke a good person black.

He despised the methods of the Song army, and the strong despised the arrogance of the weak. At the same time, there is also the jealousy that other people's families have, but their own families don't.

Fortunately, as long as he rushed in front of the Song army, he could take back the Song army's belongings. Thinking of this, the mood of Yu Qiman is much better. On the battlefield, the Iron Harrier has never failed. I don't think there will be an accident. As long as he commanded the soldiers, rushed to the front of the Song army's cart formation, and used his armor to resist the Song army's iron guns, there would be some casualties in the process. But the Iron Harrier members are the ones who are afraid of death?

A feeding frenzy!

More fanatical!

It is the battle imprint that the iron harrier has integrated into the bloodline.

As for the row of artillery in front of the Song people's car formation, they didn't recognize what Xibei goods were, but they simply thought that it was the Song people's bells and whistles. There is only one kind of gunpowder of the Song people that is very powerful, that is, the powder keg thrown down from the city, that thing exploded and shook the mountains, no matter how strong the martial arts, no matter how strong the armor, it was useless. Even if you don't blow up, you can be shocked to death.

But now it's not a siege.

And the Iron Harrier has never participated in the siege battle, after all, the Iron Harrier is invincible in the field, and it would be purely stupid to use heavy cavalry to hit the city wall.

Three hundred steps.

Li Kui suddenly roared in a low voice on the high platform: "Be angry, the hammer of justice!" ”

In Li Kui's view, the Iron Harrier can be shocked on the battlefield for 50 years, which is enough for the Great Song Dynasty to be aggrieved. But in fact, the Song people have been suffering from heavy cavalry on the battlefield now, especially in the field. They don't have the ability to form heavy cavalry, but the sworn enemies of the Great Song Dynasty, Xixia and Khitan, do you say that they are angry?

The Khitan Iron Forest Army is larger than the Iron Harrier. If it weren't for the fact that Song Liao had been truce for a hundred years, the terrified enemy army in the Song army would definitely have a place for the Tielin Army.

And any hoplite cavalry on the battlefield is like a large nut that is overprotected. Only by smashing it with a hammer can the weakest flesh be exposed. Artillery is undoubtedly the terminal weapon that will end this kind of battlefield super arms, and the thought of being a witness to history makes Li Kui excited and unable to extricate himself. He's going to be the big man who ended a historical legend!

It's a pity that judging from Pang Wanchun's expression, Li Kui is not lightly ill.

This kind of tone full of anger made Pang Wanchun feel as uncomfortable as if he had been choked by the throat, and around Li Kui, he could hear Li Kui's low roar clearly. I wanted to persuade a sentence or two, but I couldn't open my mouth.

Just as Pang Wanchun was entangled, the command flag commanded by Nian Xi fell, and the artillery firefighters lit the torches on the fuse.

Boom –

The loud roar between heaven and earth swept across the earth like rolling thunder, even drowning out the rumbling iron hooves of the iron harrier sprinting. Clusters of fire, clouds of smoke, but you can't see the fist-sized cannonball secretly hidden in the smoke.

Don't look at the shells flying out of the muzzle, but they are all iron-hearted, solid, and full of weight.

What difference does it make if the speed of discharging is two hundred meters per second, or one hundred and eighty meters per second? Even a pitiful one hundred and twenty meters per second, it doesn't matter.

Because this speed is enough for the cannonball to turn into a cloud of phantom and rush towards the enemy. Even if you are wearing the strongest armor in the world, you have to kneel when you should kneel.

Just like a hammer weighing several pounds smashed into thin-skinned and stuffed food, no one can stop the merciless destruction of hot weapons in the era of cold weapons.

Falsely covering his head tightly, naturally he doesn't have as much a feeling for artillery as he does. I didn't even think there was anything powerful about Song Jun's strange weapons.

But in the blink of an eye, he seemed to feel something strange.

It seems that there are fewer iron harriers around.

The rumbling sound of iron hooves was a little sparse, which made him can't help but look around left and right, it doesn't matter if he doesn't look at it, it makes him suddenly horrified. Why is there so much missing, and when I turned around, I found that many iron harriers were untying the iron cables connected to the war horses after turning over on their backs.

What's the situation?

He was full of suspicions, but he couldn't tell the situation.

However, soon he didn't have to bother, his horse seemed to have been hit hard, and after a sudden pause, he fell to the ground. It wasn't until he rolled on the ground for a while, and fell to the ground, that he found that his beloved war horse's half-pulled head was gone, and blood was gurgling out like a spring.

Death is not terrible, what is terrible is that the iron harrier's charge was actually stopped by a situation for unknown reasons.

The iron harrier with several war horses connected together, although it was invincible against cavalry and infantry, but once the war horses were slaughtered uncontrollably, the uniform heavy cavalry charge was abolished. The appearance of iron ropes is the most powerful tool of heavy cavalry. Generally, if a cavalryman is wounded, he is dead, and he can't help the iron harrier. But what about a war horse, plus more than a thousand pounds of armored knights, paralyzed to the ground? Even if it is a crutched horse with four or five war horses attached, once the war horse in the middle is scrapped, the other cavalry can only use the fastest speed to untie the chains on the war horse and continue to fight.

To the horror of the Song army, the place where their charge stopped was only a few dozen steps away from the Song army's infantry defense line.

In particular, someone in the Song army rushed out of the defense line, raised the Pu knife in his hand, and shouted to the sky: "Kill the iron turtle!" ”

There was a strange scene on the battlefield, the invincible Iron Harrier, after being blocked, actually stopped in front of the dangerous Song army defense line, and the heavy cavalry without speed was a slow-moving iron turtle. And in the Song army, the infantry had already rushed over with spears.

This scene shocked Nian Xi.

The man behind rushes forward, what about his artillery?

According to tactics, at this time he should have dragged the artillery from under the cart into the defensive line and waited for a second chance.

But he wanted to turn back, but found that he couldn't go back at all.

Li Kui was on the high platform, just substituting the feeling of taking off, and was suddenly stunned by the chaos of this scene, what happened? Why did Ruda rush up with people?

Realizing that his baby pimple artillery was still outside the defense line, he immediately yelled at Ruan Xiaoer: "Mingjin withdraw the troops!" ”

For a while, the infantry of the Song army rushed forward, and the sound of gold under the banner of the Song army came quickly, and Liang Yishu, the commander of the Western Xia, was also dumbfounded, and the mythical iron harrier of the Western Xia was terminated by the Song army in his hands?

He is going to become a sinner in Western Xia history!

Almost like Li Kui, the first thing that came to Liang Yishu's mind was to pull the iron harrier back. But he was afraid that the effect of using Mingjin to collect troops would not be good, so he could only send light cavalry to rescue.

"General Mondo, you must save the Iron Harrier."

Ye Limondo also looked at Liang Yishu and fell a big root on the battlefield, but if he really saw that Xixia was going to fall a big root, he didn't dare to delay. After gathering 3,000 light cavalry, he immediately broke away from his own formation and rushed towards the Song army.

Fortunately, Li Kui reacted in time, and the Song army began to retreat, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

But the retreating Song army was not without gains, the iron harrier was powerful, and it was only the iron harrier that rushed up, and the iron harrier that landed was very useless, after being stabbed off the war horse, as long as he fell to the ground, let alone counterattack, even if he got up from the ground, it was very difficult. Among the soldiers who retreated from the Song army, there were many soldiers who used ropes to lassoze the legs of the iron harrier, and several groups of people dragged the legs of the iron harrier back as if they were plowing the ground......

Kill an iron harrier, the official is promoted to three levels, ten times the military merit, where is this iron pimple, it is a gold pimple, and no one is willing to throw it.
