Just as Yang Daniu's sabre passed through the neck of an enemy cavalry, a cold light flashed by the corner of his eyes. He had no time to dodge and could only hurriedly lower his body. Then he heard a sound of dodge, and a huge impact force hit his back. The huge force almost made him fall from his horse.

Fortunately, the exquisite armor saved one of him. The plate armor made of high-strength floor steel plates as raw materials and stamped with molds not only blocked the heavy knife, but also dispersed the huge force throughout his body, which made Yang Daniu not suffer much damage except for almost feeling a numbness and pain all over his body.

When Yang Feng turned his head, he saw a burly officer with a bearded face and a burly body looking at him in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that the knife he had used all his strength to kill the other party. Without any extra words, Yang Daniu had a knife backhand, and the blade flew across the officer's neck. With a cold light, blood splattered out. The officer was stunned for a while, and the heavy knife in his hand fell to the ground, and then he covered his neck with both hands, with an incredible look in his eyes, and then he fell heavily off the horse.

When the two cavalry charged and collided head-on, after the initial violent impact of Mars hitting the earth, the two sides began to fall into a stalemate. Thousands of cavalry began to crowd in a narrow area of ​​two miles and began to fight desperately. The two cavalry kept separating and then colliding again, and then colliding again. In this process, they consumed bloody lives.

But something surprising happened in this process. Originally, in Xu Hongji's impression, his cavalry had been trained for many years. As far as he knew, the cavalry of Jiangning Guard had been trained for less than half a year. At best, it could only be called an infantryman riding a horse. The battle situation between the two sides should be one-sided, but the development of the battle situation was much beyond his expectations. After several collisions, Xu Hongji found that the cavalry with the most casualties were his own.

"How is this possible?" Xu Hongji, who discovered this situation, was shocked. He turned his head and asked Zhang Weixian, who had just fled back in a panic, and said, "You have fought with that cavalry just now. Have you noticed anything abnormal with the other party?"

Zhang Weixian, who had just escaped, no longer had the spirit of being so energetic when he first attacked. He gritted his teeth and said, "No, it's the opponent's armor that is extremely exquisite. It's difficult for our weapons to break through the opponent's armor, but the opponent's weapons can cause fatal injuries to our army. I once saw a soldier's weapon on the opponent's chest with his own eyes, but apart from a row of sparks, it did not cause any harm to him. In the end, a soldier hit the opponent with a mace twice before knocking him off the horse."

"It's bad now!"

Zhang Weixian finally showed an uneasy expression on his face. Although he knew how to deal with the enemy, he was completely dissatisfied. Heavy weapons were not originally for ordinary people.

Cavalry is not as good as infantry. They have to wear armor and ride on horseback. The weapons they hold cannot be too heavy, otherwise the center of gravity will not be stable. Too heavy weapons can easily hurt themselves and friendly forces. Therefore, generally cavalry either hold long weapons such as long spears and long swords, or hold lighter weapons such as long swords.

In the novel, the scene where countless people are carrying dozens or even hundreds of kilograms of weapons to charge towards the enemy is just a scene of people who have never been on the battlefield. There are very few people who can hold such heavy weapons, and that is already in the category of natural divine power. There may not be a few of them out of ten thousand people. Moreover, even if someone can carry such heavy weapons to the battlefield, ordinary war horses can't stand it.

For example, the Type 65 cavalry knife of the later Chinese army was only 1.85 kilograms at best, but even so, it had already put forward high requirements for the wrist strength of the cavalry. If it was too heavy, it would easily cause accidental injuries due to insufficient wrist strength. It was precisely because the physical fitness of the cavalry was too high that during the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty devoted all its strength to the whole country to barely form a 5,000-man Iron Taurus, and the Western Xia could only form three thousand iron kites. It was not that the rulers at that time did not want to form more heavy cavalry, but because the national strength, qualified soldiers and war horses were too difficult to find, so heavy cavalry was difficult to form a scale.

After taking a deep breath, Xu Hongji quickly made a decision. He immediately ordered: "Send the order, immediately call the gold to withdraw the troops and let the cavalry retreat!"

"yes!"

Soon, the sound of gold sound of Dangdang sounded in the battle formation. After hearing the sound of gold sound, the cavalry of Nanjing who had gritted their teeth and fought desperately, plucked their horses back and retreated. The cavalry of Jiangning Guard, who were red-eyed, were unwilling to pursue the enemy behind, and was about to chase the enemy in front of the Nanjing camp. At this time, in front of the formation, a musket of the Shenji Camp holding a musket had already picked up the musket and aimed it at the front, and immediately opened fire as soon as the other party entered the range. Fortunately, the leader Yang Daniu was an experienced veteran. After seeing this scene, he quickly blew a trumpet and ordered the pursuit to stop, and then retreated to the rear with the remaining cavalry.

When Yang Daniu counted the number of people, he found that there were only more than 300 cavalry left on his side, but he lost 30% of his troops in this battle just now, which almost made him feel distressed.

However, although Yang Daniu felt distressed, Xu Hongji on the opposite side was so distressed that he almost spit out his old blood. After a counting, only less than 400 cavalrymen who attacked were back. In addition, the cavalrymen brought back by Zhang Weixian just now are only more than 500 left. In other words, half of the cavalry saved by generations of the Duke of Wei's mansion were squandered by him after only one battle. This blow almost made him vomit blood, but there were still people nagging at this time.

"Dude, how could you just withdraw so easily? The servant just saw clearly that as long as he persisted for a while, he could wipe out all the bandits. It would be a pity to withdraw them now."

"Shut up!" Xu Hongji could no longer help it, staring at him with red eyes and shouting angrily, "Lu Jianshen, no one will be a mute if you don't speak. You just want to be a scholar who is powerless to watch here. Do you think you are both civil and military, and you need your teachings to fight?"

"you……"

After being scolded by Xu Hongji like this, Lu Jianshen was so angry that his face turned red, but he didn't dare to talk back to Xu Hongji who was angry. For a moment, he felt that his stomach was almost irritated.

Fortunately, Liao Yongquan came here in time to smooth things over.

"Okay, Mr. Xu, Lord Lu is also unintentional. Don't blame him too much."
