Chapter 0381 Heavy Armor! Charge!(1/2)
"The officials are rebuilding the heavy armored cavalry, fearing that it will start a war after taking office..."
"This behavior cannot be tolerated..."
"With our joint efforts, the Song Dynasty has achieved the peaceful situation it has today. If the officials start a war, it will be okay..."
"I think your worries are a bit unnecessary... Two thousand heavy armored cavalry, on a real battlefield, require nearly 6,000 to 10,000 good horses for support... Nowadays, the horses supported by many horse prisons in the imperial court are no more than
Of the one hundred thousand, 60,000 horses are used by the Forbidden Army. The remaining 40,000 are either old horses or have been raised as useless horses. How can we get the good horses needed for heavy armor riding?
?
In my opinion, it’s probably because the Kou Ministry of Industry had to bring out heavy armored cavalry in order to win this match.”
"But the armor on the horse and the three layers of armor on the soldiers cannot be fake..."
"So what? The most important thing about heavy armor riding is the horse."
"The Ministry of Industry and Industry has five thousand fine horses in Baozhou..."
"Can you guarantee that the grooms in Baozhou can raise the horses well? Even if they can raise them well, how long will it take to get enough horses for heavy armor riding?
Even if they manage to collect enough horses for heavy armor, they still have to have a chance to go into battle.
Even if they have a chance to go out, we have to agree."
"..."
The civil servants stared at the Tiger-Charactered Army and discussed quietly.
The warriors stared at the Tiger Character Army, frowning and remaining silent.
The appearance of heavy armored cavalry on the battlefield means what the military officers mean far better than the civil servants.
As long as there are enough auxiliary soldiers to help, the heavy armored cavalry will dominate the battlefield.
Especially in the open space of the school grounds.
Once the heavy armored cavalry launches a charge, it will form an indestructible torrent of steel.
Anyone and anything that stands in front of them will be trampled to pieces by the horses' hooves, and cut in half by the knives in their hands.
It was only at this moment that the warriors understood why the Tiger Army insisted on sending auxiliary troops into battle when they faced off against the Dragon God Second Guards.
The reason why the Tiger Army did this was to prepare for the heavy armored cavalry attack.
After the soldiers of the Tianwu Army saw the soldiers of the Tiger Army wearing armor, a look of solemnity appeared on their faces.
If they still had some contempt for the Tiger Army before, then after seeing the Tiger Army put on heavy armor and transform into heavy armored cavalry, the contempt in their hearts disappeared.
Instead, there was a look of vigilance.
The commander of the three thousand Tianwu Army soldiers was a school captain.
A big man with big arms and round waist, covered with fat. The armor on his body was squeezed tightly by the fat, as if it was tied to his body.
It seemed that if he took a deep breath, his armor would burst.
There is no doubt that he is a strong player.
This person's name is Gao Fengcheng.
The adopted son of Gao Chugong.
Gao Fengcheng was sitting on horseback, holding a hook gun in his hand, half-squinting his eyes, staring at the tiger-shaped army opposite who was changing armor.
He frowned and said in a deep voice: "Something is not good..."
The deputy captain who was following him on horseback frowned and said solemnly: "If the heavy armored cavalry charges in this open land, we can't stop them."
Gao Fengcheng glared and glanced at the deputy captain, "So what? Can we still admit defeat?"
Seeing Gao Fengcheng's unhappy tone, the deputy captain hurriedly said with a smile: "Being humble doesn't mean that... Although the enemy is strong, it is not strong enough for our Tianwu Army to wave the flag and surrender."
Gao Fengcheng snorted coldly.
Seeing that Gao Fengcheng didn't care anymore, the deputy captain continued to smile and said: "The meaning of humble position is that since the enemy has brought out heavy armored cavalry, we have to find a way to deal with it.
Otherwise, even if we win, it will be a disastrous victory.
I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain to the old general when the time comes.
What the old general meant was, let us defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
It’s best to have zero casualties.”
Seeing that the deputy captain had no intention of giving in, Gao Fengcheng brought up Gao Chuanggong to talk, and his expression softened a bit.
He stared at the Tiger Army on the opposite side who were changing their armor, and said in a deep voice: "The heavy-armored cavalry is certainly powerful, but it is not yet invincible. It can also be dealt with by relying on some large-scale ordnance and traps laid out in advance.
It's just that we don't have time to mobilize large-scale ordnance now, nor do we have time to lay traps.
If you want to deal with the heavily armored cavalry, there is only one way left."
"drag?"
After Gao Fengcheng finished speaking, the deputy captain said a word tentatively.
Gao Fengcheng nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yes... drag! The number of horses on the opposite side is limited, and the number of auxiliary troops is also limited, which is not enough to support their long-term battle. As long as we delay them until they are exhausted, we can easily win the victory."
"Pass my order. Among the crossbowmen, only bed crossbows and heavy crossbowmen are left. The rest abandon their bows and crossbows to help the sword and shield soldiers resist the impact of the heavy armored cavalry.
Soldiers with spears, swords and shields formed a fish scale formation to resist the enemy's heavy armored cavalry."
Gao Fengcheng shouted loudly.
The deputy captain immediately went down to deliver the order.
When facing troops like heavy armored cavalry, whose entire body is wrapped in steel, ordinary arrows have no effect at all.
Only bed crossbows and heavy crossbows can cause damage to heavy armored cavalry, but the rest cannot.
Instead of letting the crossbowmen carry out useless attacks with bows and arrows from behind, it would be better for them to abandon their crossbows and step forward to help the sword and shield soldiers.
The Tianwu Army's formation quickly changed following Gao Fengcheng's order.
The other side.
The war horses of the Tiger Army have been put on armor.
Di Qing and other soldiers also wore armor and chainmail.
After they got on their horses, the auxiliary soldiers held up the plate armor and put it on them.
After being possessed by three layers of armor, they completely turned into an iron lump.
The complete heavy armor cavalry appeared in front of people.
Everyone who looked at the heavy armored cavalry had a more solemn look in their eyes.
Di Qing held a heavy gun in his hand, with the tip of the gun pointed upward, staring at the Tianwu Army who had formed a fish scale array opposite him, and growled a few short words in his throat.
"Tiger Character Army!"
"charge!"
"..."
"Rumble..."
Two thousand heavily armored cavalry rushed out.
Like a river bursting its banks, it rushed towards the Tianwu Army with the momentum of flooding and destroying everything.
The soldiers of the Tianwu Army, facing the rolling Tiger Army, swallowed involuntarily and subconsciously clenched the hilts of their knives.
Even though they had experienced hundreds of battles, they still felt a little uneasy when faced with the iron lumps rushing towards them quickly.
In just a few breaths, the heavily armored cavalry of the Tiger Army rushed to the front of the Tianwu Army's formation.
Like a ferocious steel beast, the Tiger Character Army slammed into the fish scale array set up by the Tianwu Army.
The cry of killing echoed throughout the school grounds in an instant.
The people watching around looked on with excitement.
Everyone shouted and roared at the top of their lungs, cheering for the Tiger Army.
They felt that the heavy armaments and charging momentum of the Tiger Army gave them a sufficient sense of security.
"Bang!"
A dull and thick collision sounded when the two armies met.
The soldiers of the Tianwu Army who were blocking the front of the Tiger Army suffered a huge impact, and they were knocked away like kites.
He fell to the ground and let out bursts of wailing.
The sound of gold and iron clashing has never stopped since the heavy armored cavalry of the Tiger Army rushed into the fish scale formation set up by the Tianwu Army.
The heavily armored cavalry of the Tiger Army smashed through the four layers of defense blocking them.
It wasn't until the fifth floor that things calmed down.
In just one charge, the Tianwu Army was eliminated by hundreds of soldiers.
To be continued...
