Chapter 323: The Power of Armored Riding

A thousand Iron Cavalry of Youzhou were like ghosts fighting out of the night, catching the county soldiers off guard.

The sound of horse hooves rolled, butter torches were thrown to the ground, and the horse spear was swung by, and everyone was picked up fiercely. The war horses trampled past. The county soldiers wearing iron armor were knocked to the sky by the war horses, and they smashed heavily to the ground like a broken sack.

After paying the price of dozens of cavalry casualties, the Iron Cavalry broke through the shield formation and entered the Great Killing Special Killing. Although the county soldiers were always elite, the Iron Cavalry of Youzhou was the first-class elite soldier of the entire Sui Dynasty. In order to prevent the Eastern Turks, the imperial court almost used the national power to form 3,000 heavy cavalry to take charge in Zhuo County and used for strategic maneuvers.

The power of the iron cavalry was difficult to see in the era of cold weapons. In history, the Han people reduced heavy cavalry since the Sui Dynasty and changed to light cavalry. The big reason was that most of the horse breeds in the Central Plains were only two or three hundred kilograms and could not load heavy cavalry. If they could load heavy armored horse breeds, it would seem too expensive.

European horses have Arabian horse blood, seven or eight hundred pounds, so they can match heavy armor, so European iron can heavy riding has become a symbol of an era.

The war horses of the Tungus people who rose in Liaodong could bear heavy weights, so they were good at heavy cavalry. In history, the Jurchens preferred the combination of heavy cavalry and light cavalry, and even the Jurchens were less than ten thousand and could not match them. Later, when the Jurchens declined, the Zhongxiao Army of Monk Wanyan Chen rose with heavy cavalry and regained the glory of their ancestors. Although the Mongols swept the world with light cavalry, they were not equipped with heavy cavalry. Later, the Eight Banners of Manchuria in the late Ming Dynasty were the last revival of heavy cavalry in history.

Facing the Iron Cavalry of Youzhou, the county soldiers were inevitably shaken. Everyone was greedy and fearless. After the county soldiers fought hard for a while, the formation collapsed. The soldiers fled regardless of the general's obstruction and were immediately fled and were crushed behind the Youzhou Iron Cavalry. Once the formation was broken, the Iron Cavalry of Youzhou was plundering unscrupulously in the formation, almost becoming a massacre.

Seeing this scene, Su Su hurriedly said, "Xiao Jiu, this Luo Yi used Erzhu Rong's tactic to defeat Ge Rong in the battle of Yecheng."

Battle in Yecheng!

At that time, under Yecheng, Ge Rong led the uprising troops in the six towns and claimed to have a million troops. As a result, Erzhu Rong easily defeated him with seven thousand elite cavalry. The tactic used by Erzhu Rong was to lead the iron cavalry to attack Ge Rong's central army. After capturing Ge Rong alive, all the uprising troops surrendered.

Luo Yi's current technique is exactly the same as Ge Rong. One blow to block the throat is indeed the most ruthless method.

However, after a while, the county soldiers who blocked them were completely defeated and were chased and killed by the Iron Cavalry of Youzhou with a horse spear.

"It's better to put down the handsome flag!" Liu Yi, the governor of Anle County, was already scared to death.

Su Su's face changed when she heard this and said, "What are you talking about?"

Liu Yi pointed forward and said, "You can't defend even if you are determined. You all the county soldiers who have just returned to reinforce are still halfway and there is no time to rush back..."

"If you want to bring down the general flag, you will be killed!" Li Chongjiu said sternly. When Liu Yi saw it, he lowered his head and said, "Please forgive me for your crime."

Li Chongjiu thought to himself that he had led his army to fight south and north for a long time. Although he had rarely fought against the wind, his soldiers were used to winning big victories and winning consecutive victories. Although he had forged an elite force with this momentum, his soldiers had less determination to fight to the end.

Li Chongjiu said, "The general flag is here, and you must not waver and order all troops to come and rescue."

At the same time, Luo Yi, the Marquis of Jingbian, held a horse spear. He had just pulled the horse spear out of the chest of a county soldier. The blood in his chest splattered his iron armor, covered in blood.

"What a pity, you had the chance to cut me off, but even if I cut me off, I have heavy armor on my body, you can't hurt me. So you're useless to die, do you understand?"

The dying soldier's eyes were wide open, blood was gushing out of his mouth unwillingly, and finally fell to the ground with a bang.

Luo Yi's personal soldiers also killed more than a dozen soldiers and went forward and said, "Master, are you okay?"

Luo Yiyan said: "I can't hurt me, but I didn't expect that the county soldiers still have a few people with seeds, so they dared to turn around. But so what? Can I hurt me?"

The soldiers laughed heroically.

At this time, a man stretched out his hand and said, "Marty, the enemy's chief flag is right in front of him! It seems to be in formation!"

Luo Yi's eyes hopped, he took off the iron face in his helmet, and said, "It's just such a few people, don't know how to live or die?"

Luo Yi looked from a distance and saw that the opponent had about 500 infantrymen, and the erected stair spear surrounded the Li-shaped celestial in the middle. Under the flag, a man was wearing a crimson cloak, heavy armor, and standing on his horse, probably Li Chongjiu was undoubtedly.

“Rebuild the team!”

Seeing the other party's reaction, Luo Yi roared, and a commander waved the flag left and right, and then fell down. In order to avoid the rest of the night, the commander also shot three whistlebrating lines in the direction of Li Chongjiu's flag.

The formation of more than a thousand county soldiers was easily defeated, let alone in front of them.

The whistle and sounded sharply, and the Youzhou cavalry who were chasing all over the world gave up the pursuit of the remaining soldiers who defeated the county and returned to the team.

On the other hand, Su Su saw that Luo Yi gave up the pursuit of the county soldiers, the remaining county soldiers gathered again and went behind Li Chongjiu's general flag, with a look of dejection on his face. As for the person who lost his weapons, he also picked up any advantageous things around him.

"Didn't Luo Yi's move give our army a breath?"

"No, Luo Yi wants to see me, so he wants to fight with me to decide the outcome. He has many cavalrymen, so he is not afraid of such conflict!"

Li Chongjiu saw that the soldiers from left and right had given up their attack on the Khitan camp and were gathering together. They did not proceed very quickly, but instead moved forward in a row in a row.

Obviously they also knew that the infantry without formations was just a dish for armored cavalry. They came to support not to help, but to die. Therefore, even if the central army had the strength, they did not advance quickly to support them in the form of scattered troops.

Seeing the judgment made by the county soldiers and generals, Li Chongjiu nodded. This is the quality that only generals have.

"Xiaojiu, they are almost assembled!" Su Su reminded Yan from the side.

Li Chongjiu nodded, and the sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out. When Li Chongjiu looked, he saw a cavalry on the right rushing towards his central camp!

"Who is it?" Li Chongjiu asked.

Su Su frowned and said, "If we come again, our army will be attacked on both sides!"

The scout below looked around for a while and said, "It's too dark, I can't see his flag clearly... Oh, I see clearly. It's Yuchi, the commander of Zhuo County... the commander of Zhuo County, and the commander of Yuchi!"

When Li Chongjiu heard that Yuchi Gong had come, he felt relieved, and the generals were overjoyed. Just when a horse sounded, he heard a sound of horses.

Li Chongjiu felt the ground sinking, and Luo Yi led his Youzhou Iron Cavalry to rush towards his central army.

It turned out that Luo Yi saw Yuchi Gong coming, fearing that he would be blocked, so he rushed up with more than 500 cavalry beside him before he could assemble.

In the night, a layer of stream of light shone on the heavy cavalry's iron armor, and the blood-stained horse lance was laid flat, and the cavalry in front of them formed a horizontal straight line. Many of these heavy cavalrymen had already suffered damage to the iron armor or had several arrows. Obviously, they had not had any price to defeat the county soldiers blocked by Li Chongjiu just now.

But even so, the power of the heavy riding made everyone feel tight at the same time.

Li Chongjiu felt the generals around him swallowing saliva unconsciously, and even Su Su couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Li Chongjiu immediately took out his five-stone star-picking bow from the side of the horse, and his strength was sinking to the shoulders, and he was an arrow at the leading enemy cavalry!

A burst of blood was penetrated. The enemy cavalry who was currently rushing in front was shot in the chest with an arrow. He fell down unwillingly, and his armor hit the ground with a muffled sound.

"Good arrow!"

Looking at Li Chongjiu's arrow, the three armies cheered for it, and their nervousness suddenly disappeared.

Li Chongjiu was in power and was unforgivable. He was in a row of five arrows.

The bowstring collapses, the arrows are shot without any silence,

The five opponents were shot straight down and off the horse. At this time, the hundred crossbowmen were very calm and remained unmoved when the heavy riders approached.

When it was nearly thirty steps, the crossbowman placed the general and ordered the arrow to be issued. A round of arrows was shot out quickly because of the approaching. At that moment, more than 20 cavalry of the opponent were shot down and their charge was depressed, but more Youzhou cavalry rushed up.

"Stand up the spear!"

The moment the crossbowmen finished shooting the arrows, the front general shouted loudly, and three rows of spears and stairs stood up, and the Iron Cavalry of Youzhou rushed towards him as if he ignored the spear forest.

Then a spear broke and the war horses were neighing.

Li Chongjiu calmed down, holding a bow in his hand, and looking left and right, looking for Luo Yi's traces. But this time he learned his lesson and hid very well.

Say!

Li Chongjiu shot another arrow and shot a cavalry over, but the spear formation ahead was in danger. Even though the Iron Cavalry of Youzhou had suffered a lot of casualties, they all fought for their lives at this moment.

"Don't be alarmed by Shanggu Gong, Hualang's army arrives!"

At this moment, there was a burst of shouting in the crowd, and hundreds of soldiers rushed over, rushing towards the flanks of the Youzhou Iron Cavalry.

It was the Hualang army led by Jinqiu that arrived, but unexpectedly, the Hualang army was the first reinforcement to arrive.

At this time, the Iron Cavalry of Youzhou rushed into the spear formation and fought against Li Chongjiu's personal guards, while the Hualang army rushed from the flank.

The soldiers of the Hualang Army are extraordinary and have learned martial arts since childhood.

When Hualangjun saw the iron cavalry, he was not panicked, so he leaned down and used weapons like a simple knife to slash the legs of horses without protection. Some people who were extremely brave even climbed up the war horses from the side and stabbed them into the neck where the helmet and the breastplate were intersected with a sharp blade.

Due to the attack of the Hualang army, the progress of the Youzhou Iron Cavalry was very slow.

And at this time, Yuchi Gong, dressed in iron armor, also led the cavalry and entered from behind.

"Don't hurt my junior brother!"

But when Yuchi Gong shouted loudly, he took the lead, holding a horse spear in his hand, and his black face merged into the night, making him look even more ferocious. Yuchi Gong led the cavalry into the back and killed him in close proximity with the Iron Cavalry of Youzhou.

There are really no ways to face light riding alone.
