The Three Kingdoms Chapter 82 Heavy armor against heavy armor
This rush between the cavalry is inevitable, and whoever chooses to retreat first will be the first to be defeated.
At this moment, hundreds of five-thunder crossbows were not in charge of the foot soldiers who went to the city, but all aimed at the Cangwu cavalry who rushed to kill, and from time to time some people would turn on their backs.
The 8,000 men and horses on the Ming side also began to show losses. Because the catapults of the four national army formations, except for a few that did not turn around, the rest of the eight or nine out of ten were trying to disrupt the cavalry formation as much as possible.
Heavy horses are already struggling and inflexible, and they are generally unable to follow up after three or four charges, which is why the cavalry will always have two riders per person, or even three riders per person.
And at this moment, as long as the formation is chaotic, it will be easier for the iron rider to swallow it in one bite.
Qin Hou, the cavalry general under the command of He Bigan, personally commanded the troops to rush and kill, with three thousand heavy armor in front and seven thousand heavy armor in the back, divided into two thin and thick words, between the armor, the gap is very small.
On the opposite side is only 5,000 heavy armor and 3,000 light armor, and the number of people who are mixed together on the battlefield will only be easier to rout.
Two or three thousand elite heavy armor is enough to fight against 10,000 light armor, and in his opinion, the three thousand cavalry hanging behind the iron cavalry of the Xiang army is really indiscriminate.
He wanted to take advantage of his family's multiple armor and directly rushed into it brutally.
On the Ming side, Sun Gaodong quickly returned to the formation, and the front army of 8,000 cavalry suddenly accelerated, and the whole became three formations, which were obviously divided into echelons, like three big umbrellas, rushing straight to kill.
In fact, he wanted to divide the battlefield in this way, completely ignoring the light cavalry of the 3,000 Changge battalion behind.
Qin Hou didn't have time to think about it, if the two armies faced each other like this, and they were killed in one round, he would be confident that he would leave two or three thousand corpses of the Ming army.
The Changge camp is in the right rear of the overall formation and is self-contained. Yu Rang picked up the light crossbow from the horse's body and dialed the crossbow on the side of the crossbow. Three thousand people did the same, and then pulled in unison, and the movements were tacit.
One by one, the metal crossbow arrows quickly shot towards the Cangwu heavy armor that was already not far away. The conspicuous formation lined up in a row can be shot even by the Changge camp in the rear.
Yu Rang squinted, His Royal Highness King Yin has spent a lot of light crossbows configured with immortal coins, let your heavy armored cavalry try the taste first.
Generally, crossbow arrows are mostly made of wood, and arrows are made of fine iron, and the killing power at close range is not small, but there is no way to face heavy armor.
The Changge camp has a light crossbow in each hand, and a small amount of immortal treasures are used for both the crossbow body and the crossbow arrow, and the bowstring is divided into two types.
On weekdays, all the bowstrings used are ordinary crossbow arrows, and the brackets that have just been plucked are replaced with more powerful bowstrings.
Such a light crossbow is expensive in a light word. It is not impossible to have a powerful crossbow with enough power in the world, but it is completely extremely heavy, and it is difficult to meet the needs of the Changge camp.
Zhou Zhengqing deliberately used the immortal wood treasure, just to ask for a light word, and the cost of the crossbow body and bowstring can be regarded as extremely valuable. On the other hand, crossbow arrows, although they are all fine iron, are relatively cheaper than many times.
But even if Zhou Zhengqing is willing to spend money, he must also take into account the maintenance and wear and tear of the crossbow itself. Therefore, although Changge Camp is a treasure for everyone, most of the time, they are not used.
Yu Rang once joked that if the Ming Dynasty had such a light crossbow, it would be difficult to sweep through Jiuzhou, but if he only wanted to defeat two or three continents, it would be easy. Of course, the premise is that there is no immortal family to intervene.
It's just that this sentence almost made His Royal Highness King Yin jump to his feet, and he couldn't help but scold him on the spot: "Lao Tzu finally saved this bit of family money, all of which are fucking hollowed out, you see if my head is worth anything, cut it and sell it to the four countries for money."
Therefore, there is also an unwritten special military regulation in the Changge camp, and the crossbow is in the person.
Thousands of fine iron crossbow arrows broke through the air, the speed was extremely fast, breaking through the heavy armor, and in the Cangwu army array, hundreds of horsemen turned over on their backs.
Qin Hou's face was solemn, such a sharp weapon did have a miraculous effect, but his own formation still hadn't changed, not only did he have no time to change his formation. If the cavalry only wanted to win on this, it was not enough.
The two sides were closer to each other, and at this moment, whether it was a catapult or a five-thunder crossbow, they stopped at the same time, for fear of accidentally injuring their comrades.
The four countries and the Ming Dynasty each fought with nearly 10,000 horsemen, occupying half of the battlefield in front of the Black Dragon Pass. Before the next round of killing, it is even more necessary to toss and turn, I am afraid that it will affect many people, but He Biqian did not reduce the siege of the city, but it was a posture of ambition, Shi Xiao stood at the head of the city and clapped his hands endlessly.
It's not because the Jingbian general is ruthless enough, but because He Bigan, a 10,000-strong armored cavalry, is indeed neat and tidy, and at first glance it is a division of a hundred battles.
Cangwu can stand in the middle of Xia Zhou for thousands of years, and at the same time resist the attacks of many enemy countries, it is by no means a weak country.
Over the years, Zheng Xi has never slacked off on his country, and has turned Zhang Dang and Li Dang into groups several times, first transferring contradictions, and then taking the opportunity to restructure the army. That Hu Louchun can make a difference, and there are many of them that the emperor mediates openly and secretly.
Yu Rang was a little apprehensive in his heart, Chang Geying had never experienced this kind of real life-and-death struggle, but in his opinion, he would never hold back at this time, but he was afraid that if he was not careful, he would leave a lot of lives!
Liu Tang, who led Weiyuan's generalship, has not really opened a military tent in Changge Camp these days, and handed over all the big and small affairs to Yu Rang in the form of military orders, but he has become Yu Rang's escort.
It wasn't until there was no one around that he would let go of his mind and ask for advice with a few veterans who had pulled up the Changge camp with one hand, and he didn't have the posture that a Pulse Realm monk should have.
This young master of Zhehong Mountain seems to be really trying to be a good general.
This move made several insiders put away their contempt, and Su Chen, the captain of the shooting voice who originally threatened to teach a monk to be a general, was also quite moved.
Liu Tang is now also following Yu Rang's side, counting as one of the personal guards, while observing the battlefield and searching for potential threats, while carefully remembering Yu Rang's big and small moves.
Zhang Bo, Du He, Su Chen, Shu Ming, Fan Xiu, and Li Cheng, a total of six people, each with 500 people, in case the Changge camp was in chaos.
The previously roaring boulders fell, and the Changge camp was also affected, with a total of nearly 300 casualties. If it weren't for the six lieutenants scattered, it would have been extremely difficult to take care of these recruits who had never seen such a scene.
On such a battlefield, the slightest carelessness will not only lead to the destruction of the Changge battalion, but also affect the army.
At the head of the Black Dragon Pass City, all the monks of the various realms under Jiang Yu's arrangement did not hide it anymore. Taking advantage of this opportunity, they all rushed to the special twenty young people closest to him.
For a while, immortals of various realms showed up one after another, competing for the method.
The soldiers on both sides had never seen such a scene, but they had a tacit understanding to force their attention in front of them at this time. After all, if you're not careful, you'll lose your life.
