Chapter 325: The Iron Rider Appears!
What came out was a group of Han cavalry, not many in number, only five hundred. The leader is naturally the most representative Kamui general, Ma Tan.
However, what shocked the full pet was not Ma Yan's appearance of a sassy bag. What really frightened the full foil was the dress of the five hundred iron horsemen behind Ma Tan.
These five hundred cavalry were not regular assault cavalry at all, but each of them was heavily armoured!
That's right, not multi-layered leather armor, but real heavy armor! Each cavalryman was wearing special armor, and his body was tightly wrapped.
And not only the cavalry wore heavy armor, but even the horses they rode were also wearing horse armor!
Each of the five hundred horsemen rode a sturdy horse, covered in horse armor, revealing only his eyes and four hooves. The cavalrymen were all heavily armoured, holding the reins in one hand and holding a saber in the other, revealing only their eyes.
Such a group of Han cavalry, armed to the teeth, appeared under Kunyang City like divine soldiers descending from the sky. And what shocked the man the most was that even under such a large load, these cavalry were still stable and did not shake at all.
It's as if each of them grew on horseback!
The armored cavalry was armed almost to the teeth, like walking tin cans. Only one of them was dressed in armor and charged on an unarmored horse.
That's right, it's Ma Jian who led the charge at the front of the military formation!
"How did they get armed like this? How to do it! Man Zhong was almost speechless in shock, he had never seen a cavalryman like this.
Until then, cavalry had been considered a flank assault in a roundabout position. Because although he is highly mobile, he cannot equip too heavy armor, so his defense is very poor.
It was extremely difficult for the vast majority of cavalry to train the infantry phalanx in a frontal assault. As long as you can't break through in the first wave, you will be shot alive or stabbed to death in front of the battle, even men and horses.
However, the sudden appearance of armored cavalry in the Han army almost subverted the definition of cavalry in Manchu.
At the moment, there was only one thought in his mind - how did they do it?
Before the full pet could figure it out, Ma Jian had already brandished a spear and rushed out with five hundred iron cans.
"Soldiers! Let these Wei people know that our Longwu is powerful! ”
Ma Tan has been preparing for two and a half years in order to have an armored horse! From the feasibility of testing the armored cavalry of Longyou in the past to the present, Ma Tan has basically smashed all the surplus income into it.
Even so, there are still more than 100 veterans of the 600 Longwuyi who are not equipped. Ma Tan only scraped together five hundred armored horsemen, but even then, it was enough.
In this era, heavy cavalry is basically a cross-era existence. When there is basically no frontal response to the heavy cavalry, the armored cavalry is invincible!
"Kill!!"
With 500 armored cavalry protruding from the front, the Wei army was almost defenseless...... No, to be precise, the Wei army was prepared, but it couldn't be stopped at all.
In the siege formation, the Wei army hid a lot of crossbowmen and pikemen. If Ma Jian came out with a raider, the Wei soldiers would be enough to give Ma Jian a big surprise.
But...... Can anyone tell us what this bunch of tin cans is!
In a hurry, Wei crossbowmen and archers kept shooting arrows in an attempt to kill the Han cavalry. However, their arrows were of no use to Long Wuyi at all, and the Han army was still charging unstoppably!
"Give me death!"
One by one, the armored cavalry tore apart the formation of the Wei army in just an instant. The huge weight drove the potential energy, and all the Wei troops in front of them were knocked out.
Even if there is a spear, it is not easy to use, and with a poke from the front, Wei Jun's spear is even directly broken!
Of course, what shocked the Wei army the most was that the Han army's iron cavalry was no longer using spears, but sabers! Under the huge inertial reaction force, the Han soldiers did not move at all, and still sat firmly on the back of their horses.
On the other hand, the Wei army, which was slashed and killed by the Han cavalry, basically did not survive. There are more unlucky soldiers, and they were even cut in two directly with a knife!
This side is the combat power of armored cavalry, and this side is the dominance of heavy cavalry on the battlefield!
But who would have thought that such a terrifying thing as armored riding would release them only with tiny stirrups and horseshoes?
In the face of such a terrifying armored cavalry, this group of Wei troops, who had been tearing each other apart with Eastern Wu in Huainan all the year round, quickly fell into vain. Like their old opponents, these Wei soldiers threw away their siege equipment and scattered.
"Armor on top! Maintain the military formation without chaos! Full of flattery and frightened, at this moment the Wei army was directly dispersed, even if the Han army did not do it, I was afraid that it would trample on each other, and a lot of people would die.
At this time, the military formation must not be chaotic!
It was in such a chaotic situation that the full favor ignored the phenomenon that the speed of the Han cavalry began to decline.
The armored cavalry is very strong, but the huge weight of its heavy armor is simply not enough to support a long-distance attack. Even the Han army's iron cavalry was difficult to assault at close range, and the speed had already come down after only a short impact.
This is also the reason why Ma Tan waited until the Wei army approached him before opening the city gate to attack.
That's enough, though!
"Kill!!"
When the armored cavalry broke down the Wei army's formation, countless Han soldiers suddenly came out of the city gate. They rushed out, quickly formed a phalanx, and rushed along the gap made by Ma Tan.
At this moment, the formation of the Wei army has been crushed by Long Wuyi, and the Wei soldiers have become individual soldiers. At this time, they faced the uniform Han army, and basically had no resistance power.
Because the Wei army was the main attack in all four directions, it also shared the men and horses equally. As a result, Cao Wei's originally considerable forces were divided into several parts, which were simply not enough to withstand the sudden onslaught of the Han army.
"Run!"
"These Shu people have ghosts and gods to help! We are not opponents! ”
"Our army is defeated! I want to run for my life! ”
The Wei army's formation was scattered, and there was basically no ability to resist. In the face of the murderous Han soldiers, most of the soldiers began to run away in chaos.
The rout then led more Wei troops to flee, and soon the Wei army east of Kunyang triggered a great rout!
The armored cavalry of the Han army opened a big eye to the full favor and also gave the Wei army a big surprise. After only an hour of fighting, the Wei army trampled on each other, and thousands of people died.
However, in the face of the defeated Wei army, Ma Jian rarely did not take advantage of the victory to pursue.
After breaking through the favored soldiers and horses, the armored cavalry regrouped in a clearing. Then, under the cover of the follow-up Han army, he quickly burned the siege equipment, and then Mingjin withdrew his troops.
There is no way, the stamina of the armored cavalry is consumed too quickly, and it cannot support the continuation of the pursuit of victory. Now that the enemy army has been routed, the siege equipment has been burned, and the Wei army's spirit has been thwarted.
Next, it's time for the full pet to have a headache.
Ji Chang traveled through the world of cultivating immortals and found that he was able to bind others and peep.
Obtain other people's martial arts, magical powers, and secrets that are not passed on, and rely on voyeurism to become immortals.
