The strength of the Shence Army has been greatly expanded and reorganized!

In addition, the Knights of the Desolation have also been replenished with a large number of troops!

Combined with cavalry from other cities, temporarily recruited soldiers, and horses, the Knights of the Desolation now have grown from 8,000 to 20,000!

It's just that at the current level of strength and combat, there are still a lot of martial artists!

But the charge of the cavalry can largely cover up this flaw!

What is cavalry and why charge?

A unit in which cavalry carries out mobile combat on horseback.

Its main equipment includes guns, sabers, bows and arrows, crossbow arrows, etc.

It is the main branch of the army in land warfare, and with the development of military technology, cavalry is no longer an independent branch of the army.

It should be used to perform patrol, reconnaissance, vigilance and other tasks.

Some kingdoms call the troops riding camels and elephants cavalry.

"Chu rode to the crowd, and the king of Han chose the army to be a cavalry general, all of whom pushed the Qin knight Chongquan Li Bi and Luo Jia Xi cavalry, and now they are school captains and can be cavalry generals. ”

"Hakama also thinks of being a cavalryman, and madness is not a scholar. ”

"A company in the left clouds and snow, moving southward. ”

And the Knights of the Desolation belong to the hoplites!

The hoplites were known as mobile fortresses, the cavalry was wrapped in thick armor, and the cavalry's mounts were also heavily armoured, only the horse's calves were exposed, and the horse's eyes were also covered with blindfolds to prevent bow and arrow designs, and the funds for equipping a hoplite cavalry could equip a small squad of light infantry!

The armament of the hoplites included a mounted lance, a short sword and a knight's shield or a ranged assault weapon, bows, javelins, etc., a ration of arrows, javelins, and a hand-to-hand combat weapon.

There are two main ways of attack, one is to rely on the impact speed and strength of the horse, the cavalry holds the cavalry gun and stretches it forward, and with the help of the high-speed movement of the mount, it causes huge psychological pressure and actual damage to the opponent.

On the battlefield, hoplites break up enemy formations in small or large formations, creating an opportunity for allies to win.

The second is to use the movement speed of the horses to move outside the range of the enemy's long-range attack troops, and use long-range attack methods such as bows and arrows and javelins to cause psychological pressure on the enemy and induce chaos within the enemy's army.

Create more battlefield tilts for cavalry and infantry attacking enemy formations!

The knight's uniform was knee-high armor, it had sleeves, it was made of leather or thick cloth, and it was riveted with iron pieces like fish scales, and it weighed about thirty pounds!

From head to shoulders, it was covered with a kind of chain mail with movable locks that resembled a hood, and a conical iron helmet with nose protection on its head.

There were mittens on the cuffs to protect the hands, a tunic or linen combat uniform was worn over the tight armor to prevent the iron pieces on the armor from rusting from the sun and rain, the clothes and shields were decorated with conspicuous symbols, and the helmet was cylindrical to put the knight's entire head in, with only vents and gaps for breathing and viewing!

Later, knee-length tight armor was replaced by scale armor, which was not only cheaper and easier to put on and take off, but also riveted a small piece of iron into a leather or cloth jacket, so the small piece of iron could not be seen from the outside!

The equipment of the Desolate Knights cannot fully meet this requirement, and according to the financial plan left by Yin Qiu before, it is still a little difficult to purchase and make these equipment in the short term!

But with Xia Xu here, these difficulties are nothing!

Because the knights also believe that what Xia Xu can give them is more than just equipment!

And honor, and status!

In this phase of turmoil, kings and nobles alike need some troops that are overwhelmingly superior in warfare, and for this reason they will carefully train young men to become knights. The status of a knight is often not inherited, and its essence is different from that of the nobles, in addition to being able to obtain fiefs like the nobles, the knights must also serve in the lord's army, and bring their own weapons and horses in case of war.

Knights are often a symbol of bravery and loyalty, and every knight has chivalry as a code and is the embodiment of heroes.

Knight, there is a famous saying!

"A tough melee warrior. He was a distant relative of the barbarians, but more handsome and cultured. Rumor has it that he was knighted simply because of his beard. ”

Knight, charge at the forefront, attract the enemy's hatred, and rely on strong strength to crush the opponent's defense, the more enemies, the more you can stimulate your own strength potential, the knight is the backbone of a large battlefield.

Knights are the backbone of the Alliance of the Seven Kingdoms, and they are brave and fearless, keeping their oath of knighthood, ready to die defending the glory of the kingdom!

Many knights were trained from an early age until their bodies were as hard as steel!

The main techniques practiced by the knights include charging, charging in front of the target and dealing damage, and paralyzing the target for a short time.

Vital Stab, use a deadly spear to attack enemy vital points, interrupt enemy abilities, and deal damage over time.

Shield Slam, the knight with the shield uses the shield to slam the enemy, knocking them unconscious and reducing their defense.

Crowd taunt instantly draws the attention of all nearby enemies, sacrificing yourself to defend your teammates.

Knights also have their own stubborn character! They are cold-blooded, far-sighted, clear-cut, intuitive, decisive, executive, sensitive, and possessive. High, jealous, suspicious, vengeful, stubborn, stubborn, difficult to control, suspicious, insidious, indifferent!

But they also have strong logical reasoning, analytical skills, keen insight, excellent military staff officers and tactical command!

In short, the role of cavalry on the battlefield is too great!

There are so many poems and allusions to sing and praise them!

"And five thousand iron horses rode in the north, and the fire was in response. ”

"The general's headquarters is in the east of the Han Sea, and the three thousand iron horsemen are fine and strong. ”

Zheng Bo asked Yin Qiu to take the lead, personally break the back, and fight and go. But it was rammed by the dogs and iron, and was divided into two sections. ”

This is a description of how powerful the Iron Rider is!

Iron cavalry also weighs heavy cavalry or heavy cavalry, ironclad army, and light cavalry constitute the two major classifications of cavalry.

The "heavy" of heavy cavalry refers to the fact that the horses and knights are all wrapped in armor and equipped with heavy equipment, and the "iron" of the iron cavalry is also derived from these iron armors. In addition to the legs, the rest of the horse's head, body, and belly are all protected by iron armor. The knights were covered in armor with only two eyes exposed, and their weapons were mostly spears, as well as shields and swords!

The cavalry, of course, also had shortcomings and weaknesses!

The infantry against the light cavalry is armed with a spear, and the infantry spear must be longer than the cavalry halberd, so that the cavalry can stab the cavalry horse in the belly with a spear and knock it down before the cavalry weapon can damage itself. This can be done technically, because the cavalry halberd can only use one hand, and its left hand must hold the reins, so that the length of one hand is limited, generally more than three meters is the limit, and it will be unstable if it is long!

Cavalrymen would fight with halberds in both hands when entering a melee and with one hand when charging.

But the infantry is two-handed, so its spears can be up to five meters long!

Therefore, a phalanx of well-trained infantry spears was a terrible opponent for the light cavalry!

But in the face of heavy cavalry, the spear phalanx is useless!

Because the infantry spear is mainly the belly of the stabbing horse! The knight who falls is often injured and destroyed before he can get up, but the belly of the heavy cavalry horse is armored, so the infantry weapon against the iron cavalry must be changed, that is, the long knife or the big axe.

The only defect of the heavy cavalry is that the horse's legs have no armor, the armor is thin and useless, and the thick horses are inconvenient, and the weight of the horses of the iron cavalry itself is greatly increased, and it is difficult for the spear to pierce the horse's legs, but the knife and axe are quite effective in cutting the horse's legs.

However, the advantage of the length of infantry weapons with knives and axes disappeared, and the five-meter spear infantry could wield it, but few people could wield the five-meter-long broadsword or axe.

As a result, the infantry blades and axes against the heavy cavalry were as long or even shorter than the cavalry spears.

In this way, at the moment of contact, whether the cavalry spear knocks down the infantry or the infantry sword and axe cut off the cavalryman's horse leg depends on the skill or luck of both sides!

Silver Shadow, who still rules the entire Knights of the Desolation!

The Knights of the Desolation did not advance on the Castle of the God of War inside the city, they were on the outskirts of the castle, while being in charge of the realm, cleaning up the remnants of the demon clan's loneliness, and at the same time summoning the people who were outcast, and letting them plunge into the warm embrace of the giant mobile fortress!

Soon, the number of people in the Fort of the God of War increased, and the Fort of the God of War also opened to the side of the Middle Desert City, and the two cities stood side by side!

In this way, it frightened the reconnaissance troops sent by the other lords!

How had they ever seen such a mobile fortress!

In their cognition, that is something that only gods can control!

In particular, it is incredible that many people and craftsmen can be seen from a distance on the outside of the fort and in other locations.

Is this artificial? It's too ruthless!

The news was quickly conveyed to their commanders by the scout troops, and the replies they received were all waiting for changes, and these military generals were also confused and ruthless!

Wang Shengnan finally saw Xia Xu again, she was very happy!

At this time, Wang Shengnan was already a Venerable of the Three Realms, but when she saw other people's realms, she was still a little uncomfortable!

Xue Liudu is already a realm overlord!

And the Silver Shadow too!

That fang, it turned out to be the Second Realm Overlord!

Even Xiao Chun is the same as himself, he is the Venerable of the Three Realms!

There is also the new general Chi Wenliang, who is also the Venerable of the Three Realms!

However, before Wang Shengnan began to be depressed, Xia Xu put many extremely high-quality demon pills into her hands.

Wang Shengnan immediately thanked the five-body throw!

Because there is also a hegemonic demon pill in this!

This means that Wang Shengnan can be promoted to the overlord realm!

Not only Wang Shengnan, but also Yin Qiu!

Yin Qiu is now in the realm of martial arts, Xia Xu also prepared a demon pill for Yin Qiu, he has no problem going to the Xuanzhi, but Yin Qiu is too old, and after he arrives at the Xuanzhi, it will be difficult to improve again!

At present, Wang Shengnan and Yin Qiu are reporting various affairs to Xia Xu in the God of War Castle!

Wang Shengnan said: "Lord Qiyu, the armies of various territories have invaded us more than a dozen times, and there are many conflicts of various sizes, but we have killed more than 20,000 of them, and the most killed of them is the army of the loess territory, so the loess lord Huang Daxian has personally come to the front line to fight us!"

As for the armies of other territories, they began to wait and see, they were all the troops of the city lords of each territory, not directly under the lords, so their enthusiasm for fighting was not so high, so they were all stopping and watching now!"

Loess Lord!

Wong tai sin!

A cold light flashed in Xia Xu's eyes!

Of course he knew this lord, he was a subordinate of the bloodstained duke!

When the Blood Feather Territory became a barren territory, he was the one who shouted the most!

Loess territory, as the name suggests, this territory is full of loess, all loess slopes!

The primary loess of the Loess Plateau is a wind-dust accumulation under the dry and cold climate conditions of the Quaternary glacial period, and the secondary loess is transformed by flood and alluvial transformation of primary loess. During the Quaternary loess accumulation period, with the climatic rotation of the glacial and interglacial periods, the loess layer showed the replacement of loess and paleosoil.

According to the paleosoils in the loess, the loess layer can be divided into Wucheng loess, Lishi loess, Malan loess and Holocene loess from bottom to top. According to the loess profile of Luochuan Heimugou, the lower interface of the fifteenth layer of loess is the loess of Wucheng in the Early Pleistocene. Between the upper interface of the first paleosoil and the lower interface of the fifteenth layer of loess is the middle renewal lithic loess. The first loess layer is the Malan loess formed in the Late Pleistocene. The black Shanghai soil above the Malan loess is a paleosoil layer formed in the Holocene.

Loess is an aeolian accumulation in an arid and semi-arid environment under the blowing and handling of the wind, and its material composition has a high degree of uniformity after long-distance transportation and sorting.

The Loess Plateau is an area where neotectonic movement is relatively active, and the main manifestation of neotectonic movement is the intermittent large-scale overall uplift of the plateau, and the continuous subsidence of the surrounding depression area.

The loess plateau area is mainly distributed in the Guanzhong Basin, the Fenhe River Valley, western Henan, and the Yellow River in southern Shanxi. The Guanzhong Loess Plateau is distributed east-west along both sides of the Wei River, and the north bank of the Wei River is more extensive.

Loess plateau refers to the higher and larger flat ground covered by loess, which is surrounded by the erosion of the valley, and the edge is uneven due to the source erosion of the valley. It can be formed by the accumulation of loess on a large area of ancient ground with weak erosion and cutting, or it can be formed by filling the flat loess surface in the inter-mountain or piedmont lowland divided by a valley.

Loess is divided into primary loess and secondary loess.

The primary loess is a primary, thick layer of continuous distribution, covered in low watersheds, slopes, hills, often with bedrock unconformity contact, no bedding, often containing paleosoil layer and calcareous nodule layer, vertical joint development, often forming steep walls.

It is a proto, thickened layer of continuous distribution, covering low watersheds, slopes, hills, often unconformable contact with bedrock, no bedding, often containing paleosoil layer and calcareous nodule layer, vertical joint development, often forming steep walls.
