Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two cavalrymen slammed into each other!

But what Gebatu didn't expect was that as soon as the head-on hedged came into contact with their knights of the Hegel tribe, they fell behind!

Anyone who collided with the other party was hit backwards without exception and was killed on the spot!

Then the entire cavalry formation was torn apart by the opponent, and the opponent plunged into the middle of their formation like a dark arrow and continued to rush into the depths!

There was no one on the road who could stop them for a moment!

In the charge just now, Gebatu almost hit the opponent because he rushed to the front, but fortunately, the guards who had been following him stepped forward in time to block the opponent, and finally his life was saved under the escort of the entire guard.

And the most elite personal guard in his hand had actually lost most of it under the hedging just now, and there were less than 100 of the five hundred personal guards left to protect him by his side.

Only by facing death can we understand the true meaning of life.

Although he had lost most of his personal guards, in the short moment just now, Gebatu finally understood why his side couldn't stop the other side.

The cavalry on the other side was completely different from before.

Although they were raided twice before, everyone's equipment was similar, and the other party was nothing more than a little better weapon, and Gebatu was still confident that he would hedge against the other party head-on.

But what did he see just now?

A piece of metal armor!

Even with people and horses, the other party's whole body is actually covered with iron armor!

The iron armor was still very thick, and he saw with his own eyes that his warrior slashed at the opponent's iron armor instead of breaking the defense, it only caused a slight white mark!

This immortal heaven is a heavy armor!

The other party turned into a heavy cavalry!

It's not the first time he's seen the heavy armored cavalry, there is a heavy armored cavalry team of nearly 1,000 people on the side of the Xiongnu royal court, which is the most elite trump card in the hands of the Xiongnu Shan Yu, and it has always been invincible!

Since its establishment, it has only lost once against the Jingsai Iron Cavalry of Taizu of the Great Song Dynasty at the beginning of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty!

And only that once!

But what he sees now!

The other party was all heavily armoured, and it looked at least five thousand or more!

With so much heavy armor, how much iron does it cost!

Are the southerners so rich now?

Gebatu was at a loss, thinking about whether it was a clear decision for the Great Khan to set the soft persimmon on the Nanren this time.

But what Gebatu didn't know was that Yunzhou County could have such a skill, since blast furnace ironmaking has blossomed everywhere in Yunzhou County, the iron production of the entire Yunzhou County has directly increased by geometric multiples, if it were not for the high cost of cavalry training, it was too difficult, and it was not necessary.

Zhao Jun wanted to cover all his staff with iron armor and become heavy cavalry.

But even so, ordinary soldiers all have infantry armor that can be called the pinnacle of infantry heavy armor as a defensive weapon.

And this time, all the guards have obviously taken out their family funds!

Seven thousand heavy horsemen plunged into Hegel's army, destroying the entire army's formation and leaving it in shambles.

Before the Hegels, who had just encountered the heavy cavalry charge, had no time to rejoice that the other party had not turned back and rushed again, the next moment the infantry of the Guards who followed closely behind arrived!

Before the guards who were covered in infantry armor started fighting, they gave them a blow from afar, and a salvo of crossbows and arrows swarmed, and in an instant, the Hegel cavalry who had just relaxed was stunned.

Immediately after that, the escort did not just stand in place and use the repeater crossbow to shoot in rotation to consume them, but drew the long axe on his waist and rushed forward!

That's right, it's a long axe!

The Great Song Dynasty and these border nomads have been confronted for so long, naturally they will not only use cavalry to hedge against each other, there is a lack of war horses in the middle of the country, where can they compare with the nomadic tribes with cavalry, the real backbone has to be infantry.

Naturally, a weapon of infantry against cavalry came into being, the long-handled axe!

The long grip extends the range of the axe, and the armor-piercing function of the axe itself makes it an excellent weapon for infantry against cavalry.

With a long-handled axe in hand, as long as the infantry formation can withstand the impact of the first cavalry, then wielding the long-handled axe in your hand can cut the cavalry, and the horse's legs can be sharpened, and it also has its own armor-piercing effect, which is very easy to use!

Knowing that the cavalry troops were going to face this time, the escort army would naturally equip everyone with this sharp weapon.

At this moment, after the onslaught of heavy cavalry, and then a round of crossbow volleys, the speed of the Hegel cavalry had already slowed down.

And that's the opportunity.

A group of guards waved their axes in their hands and took the initiative to attack and rushed towards the oncoming Hegel cavalry!

Sonorous! Poof! Click!

The battlefield entered a state of scorching at the first time.

The first time they faced the enemy head-on, the soldiers of the escort army were still very rusty, and they also made a lot of mistakes.

But it doesn't matter, the step armor on their bodies gives them a second chance to correct themselves.

Composed of 1,825 armor leaves, the overall weight of 58 Song Jin (1.2 city jin) of the Buren Armor's defensive power is simply called the zenith star, and the weapons of the Hegel tribe Tartars hit the most knocked armor on the Bu people's people's heads, but in fact, they did not receive much damage.

Can't break the defense at all, hehe!

And the stainless steel long-handled axe in the hands of the guards and soldiers went down with an axe, even if you were a Hegel cavalry officer wearing armor, you would be cut in half with an axe, and the war horse would be cut at will and directly lose the horse's legs!

After the initial chaos and panic, the soldiers of the escort army who had stepped onto the battlefield for the first time felt the full sense of security (iron armor) given to them by His Royal Highness the Cloud King, and their confidence in their hearts suddenly increased, and they did not hesitate to pick up their weapons and fight with the other party! (Anyway, the other party can't break the defense!) ）

In this fight, one side desperately chopped melons and vegetables, and the other side couldn't break the defense no matter how it fought, and the huge gap in equipment was instantly revealed.

Originally, as a cavalry, the Hegel tribe warriors fell into a disadvantage without momentum, and now the weapon cannot break the defense, once it collides with the opponent's weapon, it is next to the person, and the person will be injured and killed.

And the weapon is simply broken, and it will be broken on the spot with a click, and it will be retired in situ!

The more you fight, the more you can't fight, the lower your morale is!

In the end, the morale of the cavalry of the entire Hegel tribe collapsed directly and began to flee in all directions!

It's not good at all!

And Gebatu, as a khan, was not having a good time at this time.

After the infantry of the escort army in the rear rushed up, he, who was already at the forefront of the formation, and the soldiers of the escort battalion were immediately taken care of.

Directly a battalion of 500 people surrounded it.

Obviously, he saw that he was a big fat sheep, and he didn't make a ruthless move with the intention of capturing him alive, otherwise the escort team of less than 100 people around him would have been taken down by the other party long ago.

But even so, he is now in a precarious situation, and he may be captured by the other party at any time.

The situation on the battlefield has now become clear......
