Chapter 890 The respective usage of serial horses, iron harriers, and heavy cavalry
Several Xia army cavalry numbering in the thousands roared from the left wing and rear of the Song army. The generals under Xiao Tang also ordered their subordinates to raise their powerful attack crossbows and point their crossbows at an angle, with the sound of "Fire arrows!"
He shouted violently, and the formation buzzed with heart-wrenching whistling and breaking wind sounds. Thousands of arrows were fired at once, making a fierce buzzing sound in the air, and immediately rushed towards Xia Jun, who was galloping towards him.
The riders poured over!
The knights of the Xia army galloped forward while turning their horses in unison, raising their round shields to protect their vital points. However, they were still hit by the dense rain of arrows from the Song army and knocked down many people. However, the momentum of the knights did not diminish.
, still either making noises in the east and attacking in the west, or clinging to the back of the Song army's formation to pursue and kill them.
While obeying the orders and advancing in unison, the Song army's formation was resisting the attack launched by the surrounding enemy forces. It was about to come into contact with the Xia army's formation that was blocking its retreat.
Swords and axes were also thrust out alternately, forming a murderous steel forest. In such a fierce battle, the various Song army soldiers led by Xiao Tang had no choice but to move forward and survive in a desperate situation!
At this moment, the military flags in the Song Army's formation suddenly wavered, and the formation that was about to collide with the Xia Army's formation suddenly changed from a dense formation to a loose formation. The military health in the front row immediately
Move to the left and right, leaving a space for the crossbowmen in the rear formation holding the divine arm bow to step forward a few steps. In an instant, the crossbow strings tightened, and the creaking sound of the mechanism was heard. The Song Army's crossbowmen, who had already received Yao Pingzhong's order, quickly raised the crossbows.
With the arrows set, the sharp crossbow arrows were ready to go. The cold arrow clusters also shone with an icy cold light, and they clearly looked at the Xia Army soldiers who were fifty or sixty steps away in front of them!
Following the orders given by the generals of each department, the shrieking sound of the divine arm bow firing the powerful crossbow was intertwined with the sound of thousands of hard bows firing arrow clusters, and the sound of breaking the wind was even more frightening.
The arrows intertwined into a dense rain of arrows in an instant, and shot fiercely towards the Xia army infantry arrayed in front of them in a straight line!
The infantry of the Xia Army originally intended to trap Xiao Tang's troops and horses here. They formed a close array and set up shields and oars to resist the Song Army's breakout attack. However, the power of the Divine Arm Bow could penetrate the iron sheet from a hundred meters away.
Bullseye, not to mention that the two armies are now only fifty or sixty steps apart?
"Puff!"
The body, even alive, was shot into a sieve, and blood splashed all over the sky!
A large section of the infantry at the front of the Xia Army's infantry formation fell in an instant. After the Song Army's powerful crossbowmen fired a round of divine arm bows, they immediately stepped back and reinstalled the crossbow arrows. At the same time, they suddenly fell in the Song Army's formation.
There was actually a sound of horse hooves like a landslide and tsunami, nearly a thousand sharp lances pierced into the sky, and a thousand heavy horsemen led by Hu Yanzhuo also suddenly came out of the formation!
Hu Yanzhuo wielded two water-milled eight-edged steel whips, and was dressed in a sky-high angle iron futou and a seven-star nailed soap robe. The black oil on the armor-embedded garb gave him a dark and majestic look. And the chain heavy horse beside him covered his whole body.
Wearing heavy steel armor, the majestic bodies of all the heavy cavalry officers are tightly wrapped. Even the horses under the crotch are covered with several pieces of vests such as face curtains, back straps, chicken necks, chests, and horse bodies.
, some archers in the Xia army hurriedly rushed forward, drew their bows and set arrows, and then fired sharp wolf-tooth arrows at the charging serial heavy cavalry. In an instant, the crisp sound of "clang, clang, clang, clang" could be heard.
, although most of the arrows fired hit the vital points of the galloping chain horses, they almost did not cause any damage. Instead, they hit the armor and were immediately bounced away, and the arrow clusters also fell crookedly.
All over the place!
Hu Yanzhuo originally modeled this serial horse army on the Xia Kingdom's Iron Kites Army, and it finally showed its great use during the Song-Xia Kingdom War!
The rumble of hoofbeats was like rolling thunder, and the wedge-shaped arrow formation formed by more than a thousand heavy cavalry penetrated the Xia army's square formation. The chain of horses rushed to block the enemy, and the Xia army's infantry suddenly became straight like an autumn harvest.
At that time, they were cut to the ground like wheat. The Junjian who was the first to hit the heavy cavalry with his flesh and blood in the front row was either hit to pieces and his bones were shattered. He was immediately trampled by the rolling iron hoofs and was reduced to a human shape.
The lances and sabers carried by the heavy riders of the Song Army were chopped down and chopped over, and in an instant they had rushed into the Xia Army's infantry square formation at a distance of nearly thirty steps!
But at this moment, the majestic killing horn sounds sounded again in the Xia army's formation at the rear. Originally, the first round of divine arm bow and the second round of chain horse offensive were about to be torn apart from the enemy formation in front.
The soldiers of the Song Army who broke out of the gap suddenly heard the sound of rolling horse hooves on the other side of the mountain. The whole earth seemed to start to tremble. The heavy cavalry on the back of the mountain drove the horses under their crotches to trot from behind, exerting force.
Running quickly and charging with all their strength, the hooves of thousands of war horses as big as bowls struck the ground like an earth dragon turning over. The heavy cavalry also held spears in their hands, and the sharp arrows flying from the Song army's formation were all shot down on them.
There was a clear clanging sound, and then they all fell to the ground with a crash. The tall and powerful knights of the Xia Kingdom were like the talented Song Army's chain horses, and their heavy armor made of steel and cast iron was unscathed. At this time,
It also turned into a nail wall made of steel and rolled over the Song Army's formation!
Xiao Tang ordered Hu Yanzhuo to lead a chain of horses and heavy cavalry to break through the formation. The purpose was to tear a gap in the Xia army's rear square formation so that his subordinates could break out and avoid the enemy's encirclement of his troops.
Cha Ge ordered all the heavy cavalry of the Iron Kites to crush the Song Army in order to completely overwhelm the Song Army's dense military formation before it attempted to break through the encirclement!
Originally, the Xia Kingdom's Iron Kites Army was often used as the frontline force to charge into battle. The iron cavalry broke into the formation to force the enemy to collapse, and then the infantry carried the cavalry forward. This heavy cavalry regiment served as the trump card unit of the founding emperor of the Xia Dynasty, Li Yuanhao, back then.
Divided into ten teams of three hundred men each, the generals who served as captains were all warriors who were famous for their bravery at that time. The Xia Kingdom has been passed down from generation to generation, and today this heavy cavalry has expanded to nearly ten thousand.
Even if he ordered the five thousand iron kites who were currently following his orders to launch a violent attack, the mighty force that would shake the mountains and the earth would be several times greater than the chain of horses commanded by Hu Yanzhuo!
After all, there was a shortage of war horses in the Song Dynasty. Hu Yanzhuo's ability to train such a heavy cavalry force was enough to make Song generals in other state military departments very jealous. What's more, Xiao Tang considered that the chain horses were connected with iron ropes and could easily be
The disadvantage of the enemy attacking in a row was that Hu Yanzhuo once suggested that he reduce his heavy cavalry to a thousand men. Moreover, by acting like this now, the Song army's formation was slowly moving to the rear to intercept the enemy's formation.
Before, a series of heavy cavalry suddenly rushed out to attack the Xia army's formation and launched a chisel attack tactic. Although the Xia army was killed by surprise, at a distance of fifty or sixty steps, the impact of the heavy armored war horses had not followed up.
Running wildly and exerting the greatest power, they have already plunged into the Xia Army's infantry formation. The Xia Army's Iron Kites, whose strength was several times greater than that of the Song Army's chain horses, were able to use the inertia of galloping to defeat this heavily armored horse.
The destructive power and impact are brought to the extreme!
Seeing more than five thousand people riding iron kites galloping on horseback, the ground shook and the mountains shook, as if a flying mountain peak was about to hit them on the head. Even the many battle-hardened soldiers in the Song army couldn't help but panic.
Their expressions changed, but Xiao Tang, Xu Guanzhong, Xiao Jiasui, Wang Jin and other generals all had the same thought in their hearts: What is supposed to come is finally coming!
Liu Qi, who had received Xiao Tang's order long ago, also galloped on his horse and rushed to the front of the formation, which was about to be violently attacked by the Iron Kites. Immediately, he shouted loudly and said: "Brothers, hold your position strictly.
!Whether we can intercept these bastards depends entirely on our ability!"
