Chapter 258 The two armies are fighting, the heavy cavalry is now
Chapter 258: Two armies fight, heavy cavalry appears
"Teng Wu, you stay here while I go to the front to supervise the battle!" Cheng Yuhu shouted sharply.
"Brother Yuhu, I'm going!"
Without waiting for Cheng Yuhu's reply, Teng Wu immediately hit his horse and charged towards the left wing. In the charge just now, the left wing suffered the most damage. If it continues, two more charges on the left wing will be defeated.
At the same time, the Jin Kingdom's cavalry and infantry battle formations also collided head-on! Both sides fired at each other for a while, each causing damage. Then, with the power of Mount Tai, the horses directly collided with the huge chariot and wooden shield.
.
If possible, Cheng Yuhu would of course want to buy more tanks to improve the combat effectiveness of the infantry. However, first of all, although building tanks is not a delicate craft, a rough man with only one arm is somewhat powerless. Secondly, building tanks is not a delicate craft.
, although this tank is good, it is not easy to transport. And they need to be flexible, so it is only in recent days that some tanks have been built.
However, the defensive power of this chariot is naturally extremely high. Ordinary Song infantry are basically unable to withstand the cavalry charge. This is why the Song Dynasty sometimes collapsed at the first touch in the battles between Song and Jin. But now, with these
The chariot was mixed in between the giant shields, and actually blocked the first charge of the Jin soldiers' cavalry.
Moreover, the cavalryman who crashed into the chariot not only failed to cross the chariot, but was directly hit with a bloody head and was directly killed by the spear sticking out from behind.
Wanyan Hao has always been known for his iron-bloodedness. The failure of the first charge did not make the golden soldiers retreat. He just accumulated strength again, and the second wave of charge followed!
Although the defense of the chariot was strong, it was not perfect. In addition, some giant shield defenses had been opened by Jin soldiers. Therefore, it did not take long for the Song Army's infantry forward line to be completely opened by Jin soldiers. Then
, the iron cavalry swept over, and the Song soldiers from behind also swarmed up, and the two sides entered a bloody battle.
The cavalry battle on both wings is also going on. The two sides have fought for several rounds. The Song army suffered heavy losses, while the Jin army also lost about one or two thousand men.
Wanyan Hao, who was sitting in the rear, looked at the battle in front of him and couldn't help but nod secretly, "This Song army is actually a bit more powerful than the Song Dynasty's border army. I don't know which side these are from? Moreover,
Being able to quietly enter the hinterland, it is obvious that there is someone behind the scenes. Is it Zhang Jun of Sizhou? I guess so. Now, I am afraid that he is the only one in the Song Dynasty who can send out such a group of people."
"This plan is good. If I hadn't come here, this Song army would be enough to force my brother back."
Just when Wan Yanhao was thinking secretly, he suddenly felt a slight tremor on the ground. What surprised him was that this vibration came from behind him?
"Come, let's see which army from the north is coming. The others are lined up in thousands, preparing for war!"
Wanyan Hao looked towards the north. There were no available soldiers in Shandong. At most, there were only a few remaining soldiers in Jinan Prefecture.
Did Jinan Prefecture send troops to support, or did these Song troops actually have back-ups?
Time passed slowly, and Wanyan Hao was not worried about the battle with the Song troops in front of him. He had even ordered the cavalry to move behind the Song troops to prevent them from being defeated and scattered. What he was focusing on now
, is this sudden movement in the north, where does it come from, and which side of the people it is from.
However, after a moment, Wanyan Hao felt relieved. Hearing the shaking sound, it seemed that the number of people coming was only about a thousand horses. No matter which side they came from, they were not enough to affect the current situation on the battlefield. Moreover, this group of troops
The speed was obviously not very fast. A stick of incense had passed since I felt the sound of vibration, but I still didn't see anyone. It was just that the vibration became more severe.
Another incense-burning time passed, and finally, a team of less than a thousand people appeared in Wanyan Hao's sight!
And when he saw this group of less than a thousand people, the expression on his face froze!
This team was all cavalry! Moreover, what shocked Wanyan Hao even more was that this was actually a heavy cavalry team!
If you want to know how difficult it is to build a heavy cavalry team, you can know it by looking at the current Jin Kingdom. Today, the Jin Kingdom has hundreds of thousands of cavalry, but the only formed heavy cavalry team is Tiefutu.
.Moreover, the number of people in this team did not exceed 10,000 at the most. It is enough to show how difficult it is to build a heavy cavalry.
First of all, heavy cavalry has extremely high requirements for horses! Not only the knights of heavy cavalry wear heavy armor, but also the horses also wear iron armor. As a result, the horses need to bear a huge load. Therefore, ordinary horses are simply impossible
Become the choice of heavy cavalry. Secondly, there are the requirements for knights.
The knight armor of the heavy cavalry weighs sixty kilograms! Unless you are a warrior in the army, you cannot wear such a weight!
The most important thing is the cost of building a heavy cavalry! In this era, although iron weapons are not rare, they are also extremely precious. The cost of a heavy cavalry is definitely more valuable than the same weight of silver.
This is also the reason why the Jin Kingdom gathered the strength of several generations and the whole country to build an iron pagoda.
The cost of building the heavy cavalry is naturally very high, but its power on the battlefield is also terrifying. Its defense is impeccable. Ordinary arrows, swords, etc. slashing at the heavy cavalry are almost like scratching an itch. And the heavy cavalry is very powerful.
The cavalry does not need any tactics or strategies at all. It is enough to directly crush them on the appropriate battlefield.
In this era of cold weapons, heavy cavalry is like a heavily armored tank. Except for occasional situations, it is completely unsolvable in ordinary battles.
"Where did this monster come from!" Even Wanyan Hao couldn't help but exclaimed.
This soldier's whole body was wrapped in black armor, and even his face was wearing a ferocious mask. It was impossible to tell whether it was a Jin soldier or a Song soldier.
"Could it be that which tribe built heavy cavalry at all costs?" Wanyan Hao asked doubtfully. He never thought that this army would be from the Song Dynasty. Because with the strength and material resources of the Song Dynasty, it was impossible to build heavy cavalry.
Don't talk about it now, think about what the Yue family army was like back then? Didn't they have no heavy cavalry? Just one horse could restrain the Song people to death.
"But why do I feel a little familiar with this army? Have I seen it somewhere?" Wan Yanhao thought hard.
Just when he was hesitating, the cavalry suddenly accelerated and rushed towards his formation. At the same time, a large flag suddenly danced in the wind.
