How terrifying is the full-speed charge of the cuirassiers?
Two thousand years later, at Bali Bridge, the Mongolian musket dragoons led by Seng Gelinqin encountered the British cuirassiers at their peak.
As a result, the muskets were scattered by the breastplates of swords and spears.
Eyewitnesses even claimed later that they (British cuirassiers) looked like they were playing ninepins.
At this moment, on the front of the Han-Hungarian battlefield.
All the two thousand cavalry cuirasses of the Han Dynasty were lined up in two long columns, and in a dense manner, they rushed towards the seemingly unstoppable main force of the Zhelan tribe of the Xiongnu who was sloping from the opposite hillside.
The leading Han army officer could even clearly see the ferocious faces and yellow teeth of the Hun cavalry opposite.
At this moment, the distance between the two armies was only fifty steps.
But the Han army still took his time.
"Attack at full speed!" The leading officer leveled his lance, and then, just like in previous training, he pressed his thighs against the horse's belly.
All the cuirassiers of the Han Dynasty rode horses that were trained to accelerate suddenly over short distances.
At this moment, the speed of the entire Han army's breastplate formation reached its limit.
Then, the knights in the first row slammed into the charging formation of the Hun cavalry on the opposite side.
The long lance, with its huge kinetic energy, pierced the oncoming Zhelan cavalry in one second!
The huge kinetic energy has not stopped yet.
The poor guy was driven directly into the center of the lance.
Some cuirassiers' lances even penetrated the bodies of several Huns one after another.
The result of the collision at this moment shocked all the officers and soldiers of the Han and Hungarian sides who witnessed the scene.
Many people's mouths opened wide, looking completely in disbelief.
This scene is difficult to describe in words.
If you really want to describe it.
Then, the destructive power and lethality caused by the Han army's cuirassiers at the moment of collision is similar to the scene where the boss of Dark Souls III holds the player's character in his hand and directly presses it to explode!
At this moment, countless officers in the Han army's formation became fans of the cuirassiers.
"We must also be equipped with such breastplates and lances!" An officer licked his tongue and swore in his heart.
The shock and image of the collision are so beautiful!
Especially the moment when the cuirassiers crashed into the Huns' formation. The scene of fighting the gods in myths and legends was no different.
The huge kinetic energy directly knocked out a gap in the entire Xiongnu military formation.
The moment the two armies came into contact, the entire front line of contact between the Zhelan cavalry and the Han army's cuirassiers was directly penetrated.
However, this is just the beginning.
Because the first row of Han cuirassiers had abandoned their lances and drawn their specially made sabers.
The second row of cuirassiers followed the opening created by their front row and then crashed into it at high speed.
This time, they were like the asteroid that hit the earth 65 million years ago, crashing straight into the Huns formation.
Then, the entire military formation was completely shattered!
No one, no one, survived the impact.
Ten seconds ago, directly opposite the Han army's cuirassiers, there were at least a thousand Zhelan cavalry, arranged in five or six cavalry charge formations.
These cavalry are extremely crazy and powerful.
They have created countless miracles and achieved countless brilliance.
However, after ten seconds.
All these cavalrymen were wiped out.
Their bodies were directly pierced by the Han army's lances.
Many people's war horses were even directly overturned by the huge collision kinetic energy.
These Zhelan cavalry didn't even get a chance to counterattack.
Their bronze collars and meteor hammers were completely useless when their breastplates collided.
The battlefield instantly became a slaughterhouse.
This collision of the Han army even shocked all the Zhelan cavalry who had already fallen into madness.
However, the Han army's cuirassiers did not give the enemy any chance.
After crashing through the Zhelan cavalry in front of them, they had actually cut off the entire Xiongnu Zhelan tribe's charge formation.
The Zhelan people had formed a majestic charge formation ten seconds ago, so a huge gap appeared.
Even in defense, if any army is penetrated by its enemy and penetrates a certain section of its formation, it will bring endless disaster to its own side.
Not to mention a high-speed cavalry charge?
The Han army's cuirassiers did not pause. After briefly adjusting their formation, they still lined up in two rows. Like Mount Tai pressing against the top, they crashed into a formation of Zhelan cavalry that was charging on the right.
This time, they didn't have lances.
However, their sabers are even more terrifying.
Whether it's chopping or straight cutting.
No Huns could withstand the swords they swung at will.
It is common for a person to be cut off with a single blow, including the weapon and the person.
Of course the Zhelan people immediately organized a counterattack.
However, all counterattacks were ineffective against the cuirassiers.
In the past, once the bronze collar hit the enemy, it could knock the enemy off the horse. Now, when it hit the strong breastplate of the Han army, it bounced off without even leaving a trace.
And randomly, this fool was beheaded by the Han knight on the opposite side.
Even those who wield bolas have a similar fate to everyone else.
Relying on strong iron armor and powerful impact.
The Han army's cuirassiers once again completely scattered the enemy in front of them.
One minute after the cuirassier charge, the Han army's cuirassiers had already smashed into two Zhelan cavalry phalanxes that the Huns thought were the most powerful in the past.
Moreover, in the state of desperate charge that the Zhelan people believed to be omnipotent, they directly smashed into pieces head-on.
This result is not only unacceptable to Zhelan people.
Even countless people in the Han Dynasty headquarters couldn't believe it.
"No wonder His Majesty spends tens of millions of dollars on the Yulin Guards and the Tiger Guards every year..." Many Han army officers immediately became fans of their own emperor: "Sure enough, the Holy Emperor has a clear vision, far-sightedness, and capable people.
Impossible!"
From this moment on, all the officers and soldiers of the Han army who witnessed the charge of breastplates deified their king in their hearts.
Many people only believe in two things throughout their lives: first, all His Majesty's edicts are correct. Second, all His Majesty's policies are correct.
But those who were hit and affected the most were the Zhelan people.
It only takes a moment, not even the time it takes to eat a piece of meat.
Our own charge formation was directly stopped by the strange Han cavalry that had been slowly advancing in front of the two armies.
Our front and flanks were directly smashed into pieces.
No Zhelan people are willing to believe their own eyes.
Especially bone tea.
In just an instant, he lost more than a quarter of the troops he currently commanded.
The powerful and invincible charge of our side was stopped by the Han unreasonably before it even reached the central formation of the Han army.
"Devils!" Gu Tu shouted: "They are devils!"
In Gu Tu's consciousness, besides gods and devils, who else could bring such heavy losses to himself in such a short period of time?
there is none left!
He even felt that hidden in the iron shells of those Han knights were demons from hell with their teeth and claws showing and their ferocious looks.
The other Zhelan cavalrymen were directly knocked away by this collision and all their energy was knocked away.
There are nearly two thousand elite Zhelan.
In front of these Han people, it would be broken into pieces if hit.
Who would have thought before charging?
At this moment, they heard their leader shouting.
Immediately he started to tremble with fear.
Some people were even thrown out by their own horses because they were distracted.
The Zhelan people are a superstitious and ignorant nation.
If not, they wouldn't be so crazy and powerful.
In the past, ignorance and superstition gave Zhelan people boundless confidence and madness.
But now, this ignorance and superstition have caused the mental collapse of many Zhelan knights.
devil?
That is an enemy that only God can deal with!
Some nobles even made small calculations in their hearts.
"I heard that the emperor of the Han Dynasty was a god descended to earth..." This man looked at the Han army's breastplate phalanx that had smashed the two military formations of his side with fear and was regrouping to prepare for the next collision.
If the emperor of the Han Dynasty was indeed a god descending to earth...
So...these cavalry in front of me...aren't they warriors of God!?
Yes, besides God, who else can have such a cavalry?
Many Zhelan nobles who witnessed the Han army's breastplates rushing into battle, after thinking of this possibility, shouted, reined in their horses, turned around and ran away.
Enemy against God?
Stop being funny!
I don’t want to be punished by the gods after death, to be tortured in hell, fried in oil, and burned by fire for eternity!
…………………………
The Great Military Command of the Han Army.
Yi Zong naturally saw the whole process of the Zhelan tribe being hit head-on by the cuirassiers.
His mind was still stuck on the two collisions just now.
"It's so beautiful!" Yi Zong exclaimed: "The breastplate charge is probably the most powerful and powerful of all cavalry charges!"
"Back then, Zhongni heard Shao music in Qi, and the lingering sound lingered, so he didn't know the taste of meat in March..." Yi Zong said: "From today on, Breastplate Charge will probably become Shao music for lieutenant generals in the army!"
But Yi Zong had no time to sigh.
He knows very well that the battlefield is changing rapidly and fighter opportunities are fleeting.
Now that the cuirassiers have opened a huge gap in the Zhelan army, they have been cut off from the waist, and their organization, coordination and spirit have all been smashed to pieces.
Then he must not let down the winning opportunity created by the cuirassiers!
"Charge the whole army!" Yi Zong rode on the chariot, drew his sword and moved forward: "annihilate all the Zhelan cavalry and capture King Zhelan alive!"
"Annihilate all the Zhelan cavalry and capture King Zhelan alive!"
All the officers and soldiers of the entire Han army started shouting.
Then, they rushed towards the Zhelan people without hesitation.
…………………………
At the same time, the Han army's cuirassiers completed their second formation in the Zhelan formation.
This time, they set their target on King Zhelan's large banner a hundred steps away.
"Prepare the breastplate!" each of the officers who had gained confidence in the two collisions just now shouted loudly.
At this moment, the Han army's cuirassiers were completely relaxed.
They raised their sabers just like they did in previous training, and lined up in a dense formation.
"Charge!" The leading Han military captain pointed his saber forward as before, and then led the entire army towards King Zhelan's banner.
At this moment, under their feet, there were countless Zhelan people floating corpses, and their blood stained the entire ground red. There were even streams of blood.
In front of them, the Zhelan Cavalry, who had been said to be arrogant and invincible by their elders and ancestors in the past, was already trembling.
Behind them, the cavalry of the Han army's central army rushed over like a tide.
The next moment, horses' hooves trampled on them, and two thousand sabers merged into a sea of knives. Under the sun, the phalanx of Han army cuirassiers, covered in blood, rushed towards their target with boundless power.
.
Their tall bodies, majestic military might, and conspicuous armors and helmets.
It left an indelible mark on the hearts of the surrounding Zhelan cavalrymen.
From the perspective of Zhelan Cavalry, these Han cavalry were like the common tornadoes on the grassland in summer.
It is overwhelming and cannot be resisted.
Many people's livers and gallbladders were broken, and even the hands holding weapons were trembling.
Some people started to run away.
But some people even more crazily pulled out bows, arrows, bronze collars, and even meteor hammers and stones.
Then, they tried their best to drive these long-range firepower into the charging Han army's breastplate array.
King Zhelan Gutu also joined this crazy bandwagon.
Now, the Zhelan people no longer think about their future. They no longer even think about the Han cavalry sweeping in from the Han army.
They have only one idea now - to kill these terrible Han Dynasty cavalry!
Even if you just kill one person!
Just kill one person to prove that these Han riders are not gods but human beings.
Then the courage and boldness of the Zhelan people can come back.
Even if they lose this battle and suffer countless casualties, the Zhelan Cavalry will not die.
As long as even one person survives, pass the results of this terrible battle back to his hometown and tell the younger generations and young people. Let them endure hardships and undergo targeted training.
That Zhelan will one day make a comeback again.
But under such circumstances, these Han cavalry cannot be killed or even harmed.
Then Zhelan will have no future.
It is impossible for man to defeat God!
From now on, it is impossible and no one of the Zhelan cavalry will dare to charge in front of the Black Dragon Banner of the Han Dynasty.
This is tantamount to a death sentence for the Zhelan tribe.
No more courage and madness.
The Zhelan tribe was not good at herding, and all the people were soldiers. All the Zhelan tribes that served for the war were about to perish.
It's a pity that Zhelan people don't know.
Every cuirassier in the Han army understands a formula: the way to charge into battle lies in the ratio between the enemy and ourselves (the frontal contact between our army and the enemy), not anything else.
The calculation results based on this formula show that although it seems that the Zhelan people on the opposite side are crazy and desperate to project all the firepower on them.
But in fact, the firepower that really threatened them was only the Zhelan people in the small area directly opposite the breastplate formation.
At this place, the number of Zhelan's cavalry was even only half of that of the first line of Han troops.
The firepower of a mere five hundred men wanted to cause damage to the Han army's formation, which was moving at high speed and wearing breastplates and helmets?
Unless an accident occurs, the possibility is zero.
Moreover, the Huns who were directly opposite the cuirassiers had already been frightened by the power of the cuirassiers and the momentum of the collision, and their feet were weak. Some even secretly escaped on horseback while others were not paying attention.
And the facts once again proved the correctness of the Han Army's formula.
Although the Zhelan people organized more than a thousand intercepting firepower in just a short moment.
But in fact, only one-tenth of the number that could actually penetrate and hit the Han army's cuirassier phalanx was achieved.
And these bows and arrows, stones, meteor hammers, and bronze collars were struck with fine iron and hammered under water-powered forging hammers, and the shaped breastplate looked like a mosquito bite on an elephant.
Bronze, even bone and stone Hun weapons, and even the smooth surface of the breastplate cannot be damaged.
In the eyes of the Han army's cuirass knights, the intercepting firepower of these Zhelan was not as much of a burden to their bodies as the bumps in their cuirass on horseback.
"Die!" The Han cavalry holding sabers passed through the fire interception of the Zhelan people in a few seconds and crashed directly into their formation.
The first column of Hun cavalry in front of them was cut down to the ground in an instant.
The Zhelan people finally collapsed. (To be continued.)
PS:--Thank you everyone.
Well, I went shopping today and bought a latex pillow that I have been coveting for a long time. I also ate the authentic fish head with chopped pepper that I haven’t had in a long time.
