Chapter XIV: Heavy Cavalry
"Shoot!"
Looking at the enemy who was surging like a tide, Song Zijie stiffened his neck and roared loudly, the bow and arrow in his hand had already been fully drawn, and then he aimed at the target obliquely.
"Woo Woo T
Countless arrows burst out of the string and rushed towards the military formation in the distance.
But in the face of this neat and uniform arrow array, the Chifeng Army did not stop, and still urged the war horse under the crotch to attack the Mongolian army.
"Bang bang bang!"
Finally, the arrows came to the warriors, and with unparalleled might, they wanted to pierce the creatures whole.
But a hard armor blocked it all, blocking the arrows made of iron, making it impossible to cut through the armor and injure the people inside.
"Hmph, do you think that these sharp arrows will be able to stop us? You guy, you better get off your horse and die!" With a deep voice, the king was protected by the armor he was wearing, and once again urged the war horse under his crotch to rush towards the other party, and the gun in his hand also pulled the trigger again and again, taking one person away each time.
The full compound plate armor is made of steel plates forged by a hydraulic forging hammer, so that the knight is wrapped from beginning to end, and then equipped with corresponding weapons such as guns and sabers, the equipment on a cavalry alone needs to cost more than 100 yuan, and if you add the forage for raising horses and the food that should be given, a cavalryman needs to spend 300 yuan a year.
Such extravagant equipment can only be built after occupying Chang'an City and obtaining the treasures in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.
And building such a heavy cavalry is also the goal that Xiao Feng has always pursued.
Because she knows very well that Mongolia's advantage lies in cavalry, and the best way to fight cavalry is only cavalry, especially heavy cavalry that can charge into battle and break the opponent's defense line, and only this kind of heavy cavalry equipped with full compound armor, guns and sabers can truly defeat and even defeat the other party!
Don't look at the fact that the Red Phoenix Army is generally equipped with firearms, but because of the problem of mobility, the infantry can only carry out defensive attacks, but cannot complete outflanking, attacking and large-scale maneuvering, once it falls into a war, it will fall into a passive situation, and the other party will slaughter it!
Even if the opponent's attack is thwarted, it will not be able to effectively expand the results of the battle and annihilate the enemy's living forces, which will eventually lead to the war always stopping in a rout battle, rather than a war of annihilation that can kill and injure a large number of enemies!
The Red Phoenix Army and the Mongolian Army fought several times before, all of which confirmed this truth.
Although he relied on artillery to thwart the opponent's attacks several times, whenever he wanted to annihilate the opponent, he was always escaped by the opponent relying on the superiority of cavalry.
That's why Xiao Feng is determined to develop such a heavy cavalry, in order to be able to completely destroy the other party in the war!
Looking at this scene, Song Zizhen was a little frightened, and thought secretly: "I thought that this Red Phoenix Army was just a bandit, but I never thought that after only a few years of hard work, I actually made a strength no less than the cowardly Xue Army?"
Although the soldiers and horses under his command were cavalry, they were only light cavalry wearing leather armor and cloth armor after all, not heavy cavalry wearing heavy armor and plate armor.
"No matter, let's rush over and talk. Gritting her teeth, Song Zizhen secretly made up her mind in her heart, and immediately urged the war horse to continue to rush towards the other party.
As the saying goes, there are only three arrows in front of the enemy, and at this moment, the two armies have already pushed the war horses under their crotches to the limit, even if it is a few miles away, it only takes a minute or two.
In these few minutes, the guns in the hands of the Red Phoenix Army could only shoot more than a dozen rounds, and it was even more difficult to hit the target on the bumpy warhorse, and it was difficult to inflict fatal damage on the enemy.
The moment to decide the outcome has finally come!
"All drawn!"
Seeing that the distance between Wang and the other party was less than a hundred feet, he immediately ordered the gun to be put away, and then drew his side saber.
Immediately after him, all the cavalrymen did the same, drawing their sabers at their sides and raising them high above their chests.
The snow-bright saber was shining silver, and it refracted the brilliance of the red sun in the sky, shaking the other party's eyes dizzy, and it was almost difficult to open their eyes.
In an instant, the two armies had collided together!
There is no intention of stopping, as long as you see someone in front of you, you will wave the saber in your hand at the other party, the saber is very sharp, and with the blessing of the galloping war horse, its power is increased several times, "Ka Cha" will cut off the entire chain mail, drag out all the flesh and blood inside, and scatter it all over the ground, if there is cruelty, even the arm has been unloaded!
Song Zizhen couldn't help but feel nervous, and shouted loudly: "Everyone is ready to fight!" shook the spear in his hand, and immediately killed several people in front of him.
Immediately after, the soldiers behind him could no longer stop, and immediately crashed into the Red Phoenix Army.
"Kill!"
didn't look at the situation on both sides, Song Zizhen saw that if someone blocked it in front of him, he would raise the spear in his hand and kill that person completely.
He was already strong, but now he was bent on breaking through, which aroused the fighting spirit in his chest, and the spear in his hand danced again and again, and he had already killed several people. Although the rest of the people wanted to stop them, they had no choice but to have too strong a gap in strength, so they were still killed by a single shot.
Directly opposite, Wang Zhu saw that his men were suffering heavy casualties, and immediately slapped his horse and shouted, "Good fellow, look at my shot!" The gun in his hand was raised in response, and it was a shot aimed at the opponent. But Song Zijie had already prepared, and with a slight sweep of the spear in his hand, the iron spear in his hand showed a pale white trace with a "bang", which was obviously blocked by it.
"It's so strong, it seems that I have to be careful!"
Sweeping the other party's performance, Wang Zhu immediately raised his spirits, threw the gun in his hand backwards, and then drew his saber and rushed towards Song Zijie.
Song Zijie's eyes were keen, and he immediately noticed the person who came, and snorted lightly: "Good guy." Since you came to die, don't blame me for being rude. With a slight flick of the spear, it stabbed towards the king like a dragon.
Wang Zhu suddenly felt a strong wind coming towards him, and immediately turned sideways to avoid the spear, and the saber in his hand followed the barrel of the gun directly towards the other party.
"Huh?"
Suddenly feeling that the spear was difficult to control, Song Zijie stared at it, and immediately smiled: "If you expect to be able to kill me by such means, then you can't help but think too naïve." The spear shook violently, and immediately took the saber with Song Zijie and staggered, and almost fell off the horse.
Wang Zhu suddenly felt that it was difficult to hold the sharp knife in his hand, and when he put down the long knife in his hand, he leaned back to avoid the fatal word, and saw the opponent's spear fall in response, and wanted to cut off his own shot, so he immediately clenched the gun behind his back and put it across his chest, and only then did he block the opponent's spear with a "bang".
"Good guy, this guy is so powerful, it looks like I need to be careful. Wang Zhu said secretly in his heart, looking sideways to both sides, and those people immediately drew their guns and aimed them at Song Zijie.
"Bang bang bang!"
There were several crisp sounds in a row, Rao is Song Zizhen has profound skills, but it is difficult to block them all, and he was immediately drilled into his shoulder, splashing a blood flower.
"Well, it looks like I'll get out of here soon, or I'll die here. ”
Feeling pain for a while, Song Zizhen's eyebrows furrowed, and when she saw several people running in the distance, she immediately condensed countless true elements into her palm, Haoguang was full of momentum like a tiger, and then pushed it violently. With a majestic roar, the air wave burst up, like the giant tree, and suddenly fell on the chests of several people in front of them, knocking these people into their backs, revealing a big opening.
Seeing the opportunity, Song Zijie immediately urged his horse to run into the distance, followed by dozens of Mongolian soldiers who escaped.
"Damn, could it be that this guy escaped?"
Wang Zhu immediately turned over, saw a few people in the distance, and immediately raised his gun to aim at the other party.
With a "bang", one person immediately fell to the ground.
However, when he tried to raise the gun again, the figure of the other party had already disappeared at the end of the grassland, and there was no trace at all.
At this moment, he was still in a state of charge, and Wang Zhu, who was in the middle of the military formation, had no time to turn around, so he could only watch Song Zizhen break away from here with dozens of cavalry, and scolded in his mouth: "What a guy." The next time we play again, it won't give you such a good chance. When he saw several Mongol soldiers rushing in front of him, he regained his courage, took out his spare saber and slashed them to the ground with a sharp swing, and then shouted loudly.
"Drop your weapons, and those who surrender will not be killed!"
The rest of the people were the same, shouting again and again: "Drop your weapons, and those who surrender will not be killed!"
Frightened by this voice, those Mongolian soldiers who had blood-red eyes couldn't help but be stunned, and even threw their weapons on the ground. Seeing that even Song Zizhen had fled from here, they no longer had the morale to fight before, so they completely gave up resistance, and could only let themselves stand in place, waiting to be taken in by the Red Phoenix Army.
Wang Shu breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "Put everyone in prison and send them to Chang'an City." Construction is underway there, and there should be an urgent need for manpower. Even though these people can't do the crucial aspects of weapon forging, they can still do mining, transporting stones, and so on. So be sure to keep an eye on them, and don't let these guys escape!"
Those Mongolian soldiers listened to their relatives, their faces were indifferent, and they looked at each other, but their eyes were a little lucky.
Everyone knows that the Red Phoenix Army is currently in dire need of manpower since the occupation of Jingzhao Mansion, and they also know that they are deeply guilty, even after being captured by the other party, they will be sent to the mountains and fields to engage in heavy work such as mining and transporting stones, although these jobs are hard and difficult, but it is much better than fighting on the battlefield and then dying in the wilderness without anyone to collect the body.
After knowing their treatment, none of them had the will to resist, and let the Chifeng Army send their group and those homeless people to Chang'an City together.
And in Chang'an City, these people will be dealt with.
