Chapter 850: The Great Song Cavaliers, Invincible

Shi Hu, the commander of the Steel Front Cavalry, although there were only 8,000 people, their treatment and status were exactly the same as those of the Supreme Four Army. Even Shi Hu had obtained the position of commander of the commander who could only be held by high-priced military generals. He was an official in the front office dispatched by Zhao Zhen, which shows his weight in the eyes of the officials.

These eight thousand people are different from other armies. Although they are under the jurisdiction of Yang Zhongxian, the commander of the Western Army, they have their own independent combat system and are different from ordinary imperial guards. Moreover, they are not soldiers, but recruit soldiers. There is a big difference between the two. Recruiting soldiers enjoys the salary of the state. Unlike the military pay with fewer soldiers, their job is soldiers, just like veterans and instructors in the Fourth Army, but they have to train and be ready to fight for the country at any time and charge.

There are even many people who want to transfer from other troops to the Steel Front Army, but this place is not something you want to come...

Heavy armored cavalry is a mobile city in the army. The cavalry are wrapped in thick armor. The cavalry's mounts are also covered with heavy armor. Only the calves of the horse are exposed. The urethra is also covered with eye masks designed to prevent bows and arrows. The money for equipting a heavy cavalry can even be equipped with a small team of ratchet crossbowmen or half a team of breastplate infantry.

The cavalry armor of the Song Dynasty was constantly evolving. In order to facilitate and even have finger gloves to protect both hands, a top was worn on the tight armor to prevent the iron sheets on the armor from rusting by the sun and rain. However, the top was taken off during the battle.

The 8,000 heavy cavalrymen were quickly armed with armor. After years of practical combat and training, they had already summarized a set of effective methods. They cooperated with each other. It only took a cup of tea to wear armor. The war horses were the first to wear armor, and then the cavalry in plate armor stepped on the saddle to get on the horse. This was an extremely test of waist strength and technology. After all, the cavalry who were ready to go weighed 60 kilograms on their armor alone.

Fortunately, all the war horses of the Song Dynasty were Arab war horses with amazing weight and long-lasting endurance. When the Steel Front Army boarded the horse, a ferocious torrent of steel like a wild beast appeared. The infantry cheered loudly when they saw it, and cheered all over the battlefield. This was the cavalry belonging to the Song Dynasty, and this was the power of the Song Dynasty, just like the cheers made by later generations after seeing the mighty army of their own country.

In terms of equipment, the steel front is slightly different from the Beiwei and the White Army. They not only equipped regular weapons such as ratchet crossbows, horse lances, horse sabers, and sabers, but also equipped with an extremely long cavalry. It is said that this was thought out by the official family. After several experiments, the effect was very good before the steel front army was equipped with the actual combat. If good results were achieved in actual combat, it would naturally be promoted among all the cavalry in the Song Dynasty.

This is a wooden spear. In actual combat, cavalry drives horses and accelerates, so that the mounts charge against the enemy at the maximum speed. When approaching, they point the cavalry at a horizontal or near-level point to the enemy, and use the charge bonus to assassinate the enemy. Of course, because of the huge impact force, the body of the cavalry is generally made of materials that are hard and easy to break to protect the knights. Therefore, this thing is disposable. The user will immediately discard the gun after the cavalry breaks and pull out the special sabre on his body to kill the enemy.

Of course, not all these eight thousand people are equipped with this kind of rifle. Only three thousand people are equipped with this extremely long one. Their function is to break the formation and create huge pressure on the enemy.

The specifications of these rifles are the same. Basically, a sharp metal spear head is installed on a long pole head about two meters. The hardwood spear body has a handguard in the holding position and a counterweight wooden cone at the rear. This way, when the horse rider raises the spear, he can easily master the balance. Some knights even make buttholes in the saddle to absorb the huge reaction force of charge and assassination.

All rifles are made of wooden, and rifles are used as disposable weapons, because rifles will almost break after one impact and cannot be used. Overly strong rifles will cause unnecessary burdens on the knight's hand holding and even the body.

It requires superb riding skills to use this kind of rifle, which is why the steel-front cavalry is equipped. They are all the best among cavalry, and even their skills are above the White Army.

The steel forest of the Song Dynasty army formation was mainly infantry and the Modao was the front, which was a defense that made the enemy passively crash into it. However, the steel forest of the eight thousand steel-front cavalry took the initiative to attack with a thunderous momentum, and the effect was naturally very different.

The eight thousand steel-fronted cavalry held two thousand cavalry and spears slowly accelerated to give the horse time to adapt. As the speed got faster and faster, the sound made by this cavalry was as heavy as the rolling thunder, as if the momentum of tens of thousands of people.

When approaching the Western Xia cavalry, the Steel Front Army interprets what heavy cavalry charge is!

Two thousand cavalry lances were raised straight, and a large steel jungle turned into a hideous spike, with uniform movements even shocking the Gansu military city defenders who were watching. This was an unprecedented heavy cavalry charge on the land of China. The horse's hooves trembled on the earth, and Sha Shuo trembled. The two-meter-long cavalry rifle was densely packed with despair that could not be avoided and had nowhere to hide.

"Crack..." With the first sound of the cavalry breaking, the Western Xia cavalry was knocked away by the huge impact of the cavalry pavilion. In the surprised eyes of others, they fell into the military formation dozens of meters later. The sound of the cavalry breaking one after another resounded through the sky. The countless Western Xia cavalry in the front row seemed to have been witchcraft, and the waves were rolling, either being shot out, or plunged into the ground.

Another defensive effect of the cavalry is reflected because it is two meters long and does not require the defense of a shield. When it breaks the moment it pierces into the enemy formation, the steel-fronted cavalry abandons the gun and draws the sword. The blade with a cold lightning strikes at the nearest enemy with a lightning speed.

The Xixia people dodged in horror, and even if they wanted to counterattack, they were shocked by the huge momentum brought by the riding spear. The Xixia people who were stunned for a moment were quickly harvested by the steel-forward iron cavalry. The Xixia cavalry killed the eight thousand steel-forward iron cavalry and were both scared by the steel-forward iron cavalry.

Even a sharp long sword is difficult to leave a mark on these people. At most, it is a deep knife mark, but it is impossible to cut through it. You may even be stuck in it and will be ruthlessly killed.

When Shi Hu was killed with a long sword stuck on his body and the modified sabers in his hand, he was fighting with the continuous fighting of the Shi Hu, suddenly his eyes lit up. He actually killed the Xixia people's military formation, while the Xixia people around him looked at them with horror.

The people of Xixia had to be afraid. These heavy riders of Song people were like monsters walking out of the underworld. It was difficult for swords to penetrate their armor. Despair was the most terrifying thing.

Shihu hammered the armor and let out a low roar from his throat: "Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"
