"Heavy cavalry...heavy cavalry..."
On the slope where the Wei army's main formation was located, Zhao Hongrun looked at the Youma Chongqi that had entered the battlefield from a distance, and he was so excited that his whole body could not help but tremble slightly.
Heavy cavalry, also known as "armored cavalry", is the most expensive unit in the cold weapon era, but its evaluation is far inferior to that of light cavalry. It has even been criticized as "the abnormal and wrong development of cavalry units".
It has a single function, poor responsiveness, weak continuous combat capability, and insufficient maneuverability.
But it is undeniable that heavy cavalry is definitely the branch that makes men’s blood boil the most.
Even Zhao Hongrun is no exception - in this era, no one knows the disadvantages of heavy cavalry better than him, but this still cannot stop him from thinking about creating a heavy cavalry. After all, this tactical cavalry will definitely be a powerful force on the battlefield.
The unrivaled king.
"Rush over, rush over..."
As the commander-in-chief of the 100,000 King Su army, King Su Zhao Hongrun was clenching his fists at the moment, his handsome face full of excitement, as if he wished he could take the place of a Yuma heavy rider and go to the battlefield in person.
"..."
Nearby, the Zongwei and many soldiers and generals looked at each other. They felt that His Highness Prince Su was a little...excited today.
At the same time, on the battlefield, General Ma You, who commanded Yuma's heavy cavalry, looked at the Korean cavalry that was getting closer and closer, took a breath and tensed his nerves.
In the confrontation between five thousand cavalry and five thousand cavalry, casualties are inevitable. Even if you are riding a horse, you can't guarantee whether you can survive this attack.
"Please protect me "Shang Shui Yuma"... General, second leader..."
At this moment, long-lost familiar figures flashed through Ma You's mind, and he whispered softly.
Those names that came out of his mouth were all the seniors of "Dangjun Yuma" back then, and the seniors of Ma Yu who was a squad leader at that time.
Twenty feet...
Ten feet...
Five feet...
As the distance between the two armies quickly narrowed, Ma You clearly saw the enemy on his path, a young man who looked to be in his twenties.
"Young..."
"Bang--"
The two horses collided, and the horse under Ma You's crotch collided heavily with the horse of the Korean cavalry opposite him. Hearing a burst of barking from the horses, the horse of the Korean cavalry was knocked back repeatedly, and then there was a bang.
fell to the ground.
"Ahh..."
Ma You glanced at the neighing war horse with pity, and then leaped past it - he kept charging at full speed, only having a chance to look at the poor war horse.
He felt a little pity for the enemy's war horse. After all, the war horses under his command were covered with thick iron armor, and it was said that the craftsmen of the Smelting Bureau had embedded cotton wool, beef tendons, etc. on the inside of the armor to absorb shock.
’ is something that can reduce the collision damage suffered by Yuma’s horse during the cavalry charge as much as possible.
Using a flesh and blood horse body to resist iron armor is really... eh?
Just as he was thinking about the tragic fate of the war horse, Ma You suddenly felt shocked: I am rushing over? Where is the enemy soldier?
Because he was wearing an iron helmet that covered his entire face, Ma You's sight was so affected that he didn't even notice that the young Korean cavalry was being trampled by the You Ma cavalry about twenty feet away behind him.
The ground was covered in blood and flesh, and had long since lost its breath.
"bite--"
A crisp sound close at hand caught Ma You's attention.
He knew that he had been hit in the abdomen because there was a shock force there.
But...it was just a shock, and he didn't feel hurt.
"Is it a lance? Is it a sword? Or... a crossbow bolt?"
Since his field of vision was limited due to the helmet, he could only rely on blind guesses to guess the attacks that fell on him.
At the beginning, Ma You was inevitably a little panicked. After all, he belonged to the subordinate "Dangjun Youma" and was a light cavalry. To be precise, it was a wandering cavalry. It was a cavalry that specialized in harassing and sneaking attacks on the enemy.
There will be a head-on confrontation with the enemy.
But as they gradually rushed into the belly of the five thousand Korean cavalry led by Han general Zhang Wu, the uneasiness in Ma You's heart gradually disappeared.
Because there is no need, the cavalry on the opposite side cannot pose any threat to their ranger cavalry.
"The armor is the same. Since I am not threatened, then the brothers behind me will not be threatened either..."
While Ma You was thinking, suddenly the front suddenly became clear.
Only then did he realize that they had already passed through the five thousand Korean cavalry of Han General Zhang Wu.
"So fast?"
Ma You was stunned for a moment, feeling confused like "Why did you fall down before I even exerted my strength?"
After thinking about it, Ma You did something forbidden - he reached out and took off his helmet and looked back.
Just one glance made his uneasiness suddenly turn into disbelief.
Because behind him, there were many wandering horses and heavy horses all over the mountains and plains, as if there were only as many as there were left when he went on the expedition.
So the question is, where is the Korean army? Where are the 5,000 Korean cavalry?
Ma You couldn't see the Korean cavalry, as if they had disappeared out of thin air.
But on the high slope where the Wei army's main formation was located, Su Wang Zhao Hongrun and others could see clearly.
"hiss--"
On the slope of the Wei army's main formation, there was a sound of gasping for air.
Qu Cheng, Zuo Xunxi, Hua Yu, Zuo Qiumu, all the generals of the Yanling Army who were temporarily staying in the formation without any sortie missions, all looked shocked at this moment, and their eyes widened in confusion.
What did they see?
Five thousand Korean cavalry faced off against five thousand heavy horse cavalry. These two equal numbers of cavalry clashed, but what was the result? The five thousand Korean cavalry were defeated in just one encounter.
What's even more shocking is that Yuma's heavy cavalry suffered almost no casualties.
In fact, there is. After all, there will inevitably be a few unlucky guys in Yuma's re-riding. The hoofs of the war horse accidentally tripped over the corpses on the ground, so they fell to the ground and were knocked unconscious.
Here, the benefits of the heavy cavalry's scattered formation are reflected - if it is a dense formation, then these unlucky ghosts will be trampled to death by subsequent friendly forces, and will also implicate these friendly forces, resulting in a large area
Self-destructive chain reaction.
But at present, because the ranger cavalry almost always kept a distance of two or three cavalry from each other, the few cavalrymen who fell off their horses because their horses stumbled struggled to stand up.
And when they took off their helmets and looked around, they discovered that the surrounding area was a corpse field strewn with the corpses of Korean cavalry and war horses. Countless human or horse corpses were trampled into flesh, and the whole land was dyed red with blood.
.
Or there are some war horses that have lost their masters, standing alone, licking their masters who have long since lost their vitality.
Nearby, there were some Korean cavalrymen who had been lucky enough to escape. Some were sitting astride their horses, some were standing on the spot, or some were slumped on corpses. They looked at the Tongze soldiers everywhere with absent-minded, horrified, and desperate eyes.
Corpse.
These people have lost their fighting spirit at this moment.
"grown ups!"
Several soldiers of the Yanling Army came to a stray horse cavalry at some point, pulled over the latter's heavily armored war horse that had stumbled, and said respectfully: "Sir, your war horse was crushed.
The corpses of the enemy cavalrymen fell down, but luckily they were not injured."
"Oh." The ranger cavalry responded, took the reins of the horse, and got on the horse's back with the help of the other party.
Only then did he notice that the other party was actually a hundred-man general.
"A hundred generals are so respectful to me..."
The Ranger cavalry couldn't help but feel a little flattered. After all, he didn't even have a military rank, but the opponent was a general with a hundred men.
But if you think about it carefully, the status of cavalry is inherently higher than that of infantry, not to mention that they are heavy cavalry.
Thinking of this, he asked: "Why did you come out of the battle?"
The 100-man general of the Yanling Army respectfully replied: "It's General Sun's order, asking us to wait for the infantry to cooperate with the Youma Cavalry to attack."
While he was speaking, there were several noises not far away. The two turned around and saw that several Yanling soldiers were robbing the uninjured war horse.
During this period, some conversations could be vaguely heard.
"Haha, I got it. I am a cavalryman. I can become a cavalryman..."
"This is mine! Mine!"
"Don't grab it! I grabbed the reins first!"
"..." The ranger cavalry glanced at the hundred-man general in confusion.
Seeing this, the hundred-man general explained awkwardly: "It is said that His Highness King Su intends to let our Yanling Army form cavalry..." As he said this, he shouted at the soldiers with an embarrassed look: "What are you trying to rob? You have forgotten military discipline.
?!"
After being given a drink, there was no sound at all.
Seeing this, the hundred men turned back to look at the Yuma cavalry, and said seriously: "Then, please allow us to assist you in returning to the Yuma army."
"Thank you." The Rangers crossed their fists.
After a while, the infantry of the Yanling Army on the west flank gradually advanced towards the battlefield. As an auxiliary army that cooperated with Yuma's heavy cavalry, they were responsible for killing the Korean cavalry who were still breathing, and gathering those intact war horses.
At this time, the Youma heavy cavalry unit led by Wei general Ma You was charging diagonally towards the cavalry led by Han generals Hua Chang and Hua Can in the middle of the battlefield.
Since they had defeated the 5,000 cavalry of Han General Zhangwu, the knights of the Youma Army, including Ma You, were extremely confident at this moment.
The initial uneasiness and nervousness had long since disappeared, replaced by excitement and a heat that seemed to be uncontrollable.
"Wherever the heavy horse passes, there is no trace of armor left!"
Ma You kept repeating these words in his heart, which came from the mouth of a certain Prince Su.
He thought it was a bit exaggerated before, but after just defeating a Korean cavalry army of 5,000 people, Ma You suddenly felt that this sentence was so damn correct!
In addition, His Highness Prince Su was so damn wise in setting up a heavy cavalry!
It doesn't matter that heavy cavalry has all kinds of irreparable weaknesses. As a man, you should become a heavy cavalry, face the enemy army that is several times larger, and charge without hesitation...!
"charge!"
Putting his helmet back on, Ma You had already set his sights on the next target.
At the same time, the Korean cavalry general Hua Chang, who was still using the vehicle suspension tactic, suddenly discovered that there was a strange cavalry rushing straight from the flank, and he couldn't help but feel stunned.
"This cavalry...is Wei cavalry? Where did they come from? The west side? Wait a minute, isn't there Zhangwu's five thousand cavalry on the west side? Where are the people?"
