The next day, the Zhao army besieged the city, and Suo Chao took his soldiers and horses out of the city to meet the battle.

In front of Zhao Jun was an unprecedented formation. Shi Min looked at it and saw that there were about 3,000 cavalry soldiers in the front of the Liang army, and these 3,000 military horses were lined up in a row, and every thirty war horses were made into a company, and they were chained with iron rings.

These 3,000 iron cavalry can be described as heavy cavalry armed to the teeth.

The horse wears a vest, and the man wears iron armor. The horse is armoured, and only four hooves are exposed to the ground; The man was clothed in armor, and only a pair of eyes were exposed. Although there are armored horses on the ordinary formation, they are just red tassel masks and copper bell pheasant tails, which look majestic

How to break it?

Suo Chao immediately drove his horse out of his own phalanx, and shouted with his Ugin spear horizontally: "Shi Min, do you know this tactic?" ”

"It's a chain horse!"

Hearing this, Suo Chao couldn't help but tremble in his heart. Even Shi Min knows the tactics of this chain of horses? Not bragging, right?

"Humph! What about recognition? I can't tell you through it! Shi Min, today I will keep the army called you, there is no return! ”

"What a big breath! Let's see the real chapter under our hands! Drive. ”

Shi Min and Suo Chao each returned to their own formation.

"Qin Mu, can you make this formation placed by Suo Chao?"

Hearing this, Qin Mu squinted his eyes, thought to himself for a moment, and said, "I have never seen it, I have never made it." However, the lord, there is no broken formation in this world, and the subordinates look at this formation, which is sparse and ordinary, but the Liang army has thousands of horses, and thirty war horses are in a row, and the impact is extraordinary. But this requires absolute cooperation, and if one or one of the thirty horses is wounded or killed in battle, all the soldiers on one line will suffer. ”

As long as one is shot down, the other horses will be affected!

Shi Min bowed slightly: "This will be seen." But the three thousand war horses of the Liang army, people are wearing armor, horses are wearing armor, and it is only extremely difficult to break one of them. The armor is strong, it is not a divine weapon, and it is unbreakable if it is not a bed crossbow and a hard bow! ”

"Nope. Lord, I see that this chain of horses, heavy cavalry, has a flaw. ”

"What's the flaw?"

"Horse legs."

After Qin Mu's suggestion, Shi Min recalled.

In "Water Margin", Hu Yanzhuo used an iron-clad serial horse to attack Liangshanbo, and the power of the iron-clad serial horse was indeed great, but in the end it was broken by Xu Ning's hook and sickle!

The Hook Scythe has a barbed spear on the blade of the spear head to defend against the conflict of the horse caravers. The gun was seven feet two inches long, and the head of the gun was eight inches. The tip of the gun is sharp, and its lower part has a sideways protruding barb, and the hook tip is curved inward.

The barrel of the spear was six feet long, four inches in diameter, made of wood, and had an iron hammer at the end of the shaft, which was four inches long. The head of the Hook Hammer Gun is the same as that of a normal spear, which is mainly used to kill enemies, and the barb of the Hip Gun is used to slash and kill enemies, and can be hooked to pull enemies to the ground. Although the hook has the effect of helping to kill enemies, it also has the effect of preventing the tip of the gun from penetrating too deeply.

The hook and sickle is a weapon used in foot combat, but it works wonders for cavalry.

The hook sickle is also known as the "hemp knife", that is, the sickle is tied to the spear with hemp rope. It is used in infantry combat and is a weapon in the ancient military vehicle warfare method. It was a spear with a barbed tip on the tip of the spear, designed to deal with enemy cavalry.

When cavalry bursts into formation, soldiers in the formation can use hook and sickle spears to force enemy cavalry to avoid scurrying around their own formation. Because the hook and sickle can cut the horse's legs across the ground, thus forcing the enemy to fall off their horses and create fighters!

As far as Shi Min knew, Yue Fei and Wushu had a decisive battle in Yuncheng. Wushu commanded the tower soldiers and the kidnapping horses, and rushed over with overwhelming momentum.

Yue Fei commanded a group of soldiers who used hook and sickle guns to respond to the battle. The Hook Scythe comes with a hook and a curved scythe, which is used to hook off the enemy's iron armor and then cut off his head with the curved scythe. A group of swords and axes were dispatched, and when they encountered a kidnapping horse, they cut off the horse's legs.

But there is obviously something different between the tower soldiers, the kidnapping horses, and the ironclad chain horses. However, its weaknesses are all horse legs.

"What is the lord going to do?"

Shi Min did not answer, but responded with practical actions.

"Wentai!"

"The last general!"

"Light a thousand soldiers who make hook and sickle guns, put a strong rope on the hook and sickle guns, stand in front of the formation, and when the enemy's iron cavalry is a hundred paces away from the formation, throw the hook and sickle guns, and wait for them to enter the hook and sickle formation, that is, pull the rope and break their horses' legs!"

"No!"

Shi Min said again: "Ma Qiu! ”

"The last general!"

"You lead 3,000 swordsmen and axes, stand behind the gunmen, and when the enemy army is in chaos, immediately rush forward and kill them! Remember, the axe man specializes in chopping his horse's legs! ”

"No!"

"Li Xin, Shi Jian!"

"Each of you will lead 5,000 cavalry troops, wait for an opportunity from the left flank and right flank of the enemy formation, and when the enemy army is defeated, you will rush and kill from the left and right, and you don't have to intercept the enemy's rout, and rush into the city with all your strength!"

"No!"

"At the same time, the order will go down, and the troops at the city gates everywhere are ready to attack the city! Wolf smoke together, the whole army attacked! ”

"Yes!" The generals sang their promises.

Suo Chao was already waiting a little impatiently, and it was only then that Shi Min sent a junior colonel to inform him that Zhao Jun was ready to take over.

Suo Chao is quite confident in his ironclad chain horse.

When he was guarding Yangguan, he relied on these 3,000 iron cavalry to sweep the rebels in the Western Regions and deter the Hu tribes. Hu Lu in the Western Regions is frightened by his iron-clad serial horse, and when he hears his Suo Chao's name, the children don't dare to cry!

Of course, what Suo Chao never expected was that Shi Min was not one of those Hu generals, and the Han army under his command was not a Hu soldier who was only good at bending bows and shooting eagles and did not know the method of battle formation.

At the beginning of the battle, with the dull sound of the war drums of the Liang army, Suo Chao's order flag waved, and the three thousand ironclad cavalry that had been lined up suddenly moved. In order to maintain the consistency of their movements, their movements did not dare to be too big, and the thirty riding chain horses stepped out of the phalanx in an orderly manner.

This is one of the major drawbacks of chain horses.

The men and horses were all dressed in heavy armor and armed to the teeth, but the burden of the war horses was too heavy, so the sprinting power decreased, the physical strength was greatly consumed, and the mobility could not be fought for a long time, and the mobility was greatly reduced.

This well-trained ironclad cavalry moves like an armored car, and it looks quite scary!

"Roar! Roar! Roar! ……”

In order to respond to the 3,000 ironclad cavalry coming from this onslaught, the phalanx of the Zhao army began to evolve rapidly.

The archers retreated, the cavalry ran on either side, and the infantry took their place.

Wen Tai was ordered to lead a thousand foot soldiers armed with hook and sickle spears in front of the formation, and the thousand spearmen were divided into three columns, and the hook and sickle spears in their hands were covered with strong ropes.

And Ma Qiu also followed closely with three thousand swords and axes at the same time, waiting for the defeat of the enemy army, and then took the opportunity to rush over.

In ancient times, armies were fought in concert with multiple arms. Modern or modern armies are divided into three armies: the sea, land and air forces, and in ancient times, there were also three armies, namely the front army, the middle army and the rear army, and the types of troops are very different.

The arms of this era generally include sailors, foot soldiers, and cavalry soldiers, and there are many types of foot soldiers, such as knife and axemen, pikemen, archers, "special forces" (elite), etc., and the army has special training.

Among them, the knife and axe hand is the most courageous one in addition to the elite.

Knife and axe hands are also called executioners, one is the murderer on the execution ground, and the other is the knife and axe hand in the army.

Most of the sword and axe men in the army are dead soldiers, with strong combat power and big enough courage, dare to use short weapons to fight the enemy's long weapons, and they really dare not go on without a certain amount of courage and skills!
