Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 358

The Iron Harrier has accumulated 648 rides.

Their mobility is not weak, after all, there are three horses, no matter how short the legs are, it can't be justified.

But they're also really boring and don't have much to fight.

During the Western Expedition to Liangzhou, if Lord Wumu was not too greedy and insisted on swallowing his good ally Liugu Tubo, and sent people to delay, they would have no chance to fight.

Later, Um's main army was defeated and fled, and all the cavalry pursued them all the way. They even became ridiculous characters who needed others to protect them, otherwise they would be played to death by the cavalry archers.

During this northern tour, as part of the Flying Bear Army, Tie Yaozi will naturally follow along.But along the way, besides rushing, we still rushed, and it was extremely boring.

They can't do what silver guns can do.What they can do, they can't find a chance to do it.

Today's opportunity is actually not very good.

The Hedong cavalry is still strong, and their mobility is stronger than that of the iron harrier: some people are armored, but the horse is not armored, and some people and horses are not armored. No matter what kind of maneuverability is stronger than the iron harrier .

Therefore, I can only look for an opportunity to steal the cold.

648 knights with horses and horses in heavy armor rushed to the front, followed by more than [-] riders with insufficient armor.

It should be said that the input of armored cavalry is quite timely.

Although the battlefield at that time was chaotic, the characteristics of the Hedong cavalry's strong hand-to-hand combat ability gradually emerged.Silver guns are good at riding and shooting, so they shouldn't be confronting the enemy's hand-to-hand cavalry.

In the past year, although they have been training hard, their organization has been greatly improved, and their equipment has been improved a lot, but after all, they still cannot confront the Hedong cavalry head-on.

This is not their task.

Their stage is the enemy's rear, harassing the enemy's food roads, attacking the enemy's light or unarmored infantry, burning down their warehouses, destroying their farmland, and plundering their population. These are their specialties.

It's not impossible to fight head-on, but it's really not good at it.One year is too short, and he hastily entered the battle before he has developed any famous tricks.

The timely appearance of armored cavalry helped them a lot.

Anyuan Xinbu had just dispersed the Shuofang cavalry on the opposite side, but when they encountered the iron kite rushing straight down, they had no time to maneuver and were cut into two sections.

An Yuanxin patted his horse and galloped wildly, while turning his head and shooting arrows, but the arrows couldn't enter, not even tickling.

He was a little annoyed.

Kang Junli was the chief general, and he kept urging everyone to go on their way. After discovering the cavalry of the Shuofang Army, he started working, but he didn't expect that there was such an armored cavalry hidden beside him.

With armored cavalry, it flourished in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.Since the early years of the Kingdom of China, it is really rare to see them.

Jinyang Xizuoyuan can produce [-] pairs of vests a year, but most of the time they don't make such things, but make armors for people to wear, which also makes the rate of armor for the Hedong pawns very high.

Shuofang Army is really interesting.There are not enough human armors, and they still wear vests. It really focuses on cavalry, and ignores infantry at all, right?Leather armor and iron armor are two different things!
While complaining, mocking, and cursing, An Yuanxin fled desperately to the outside, intending to use his mobility to get rid of these armored cavalry.

But they don't know where to find these horses. While they have a strong load-bearing capacity, their speed is not very slow.After rushing down from the slope, he bit the nearest Anyuan Xinbu, took advantage of their carelessness, and at the same time when the battlefield was a bit chaotic, he rushed in from the flanks and blocked the invincibility.

The soldiers who had been scattered with silver guns gathered automatically and scattered to both sides of the Leopard Cavalry Capital, protecting them and continuing to fight towards the center of the battlefield.

……

Li Siyuan was on the rise.

Under the Tieluo, more than ten Shuofang cavalry soldiers have fallen, and one of them seems to be a partial general, who seems to be called "Vijia"?
Until now, he was already full of confidence.

There are [-] soldiers in the north, [-] soldiers and [-] auxiliary soldiers. The Shuofang army on the opposite side seems to be of the same size, with [-] soldiers.

The soldiers on both sides fought bravely, while the auxiliary soldiers hid in the temporary camp behind.

The advantage of the Shuofang army is its accurate archery, while the advantage of the Hedong army is its strong ability to fight in close combat.You may not be able to see anything at first, but after fighting for a while, the advantage will be tilted in the direction of the Hedong Army a little bit.

The reason is also very simple, the battlefield is too chaotic!
In cavalry combat, especially large-scale cavalry combat, neither side will let everyone out at once.Instead, it is divided into batches and types: those who destroy the strong and sharp, those who follow up and fight, and those who travel outside to outflank. The longer the fight, the more chaotic the battlefield.

Once there is chaos, there will be less room for detours, the advantage of the Shuofang army will be weakened, and the advantage of the Hedong army will be strengthened.

Li Siyuan led hundreds of horsemen, charging left and right.

When Tie Lao beat him, one fell off his horse, and when he raised his bow and shot, the other fell down.

Kill it fast!Kill for a while, and before the horsepower decays, the cavalry of Shuofang Army will be defeated.

The appearance of the iron kite shattered his dream.

When the shining silver armor appeared in his eyes, Li Siyuan almost cursed.

"Let's go!" He clamped his horse's belly and avoided it.

The guards carried the banner and followed, followed by a brigade of cavalry.

There are five people in a group, and there are five steps left and right between groups, and twenty steps before and after.Even now, they still maintain battlefield discipline, rather than fighting indiscriminately.

Li Siyuan took away the fastest five or six hundred people, but the latter were not so lucky.The iron kites rushed past like a flood, and almost no one could block their blows. The original complete and tight formation collapsed instantly, and the cavalry group turned into stragglers, making people want to cry without tears.

The flood continued to rush forward, heading straight for Kang Junli.That banner is the most dazzling and the most valuable.

……

On the messy battlefield after the flood rushed over, Wang Chong came to kill him again, but he still couldn't swallow his breath.

Almost a quarter of the more than 300 people died in the first wave of charge, and even himself was almost swept away by Tie Lao.

After going around for a while, they brought another 400 people into battle, but Li Siyuan disappeared.

He noticed the process of the armored cavalry charging, and felt a little sour.This guy Zhe Congyun has done a great job again, he belongs to the kind of turning the tide.

But now is not the time to be emotional, it is true to beat the dog in the water.He flicked his horse's head and rushed towards the chaotic enemy army.

Behind them were soldiers holding high flags, and scattered cavalry pawns kept gathering.

There were a lot of casualties today, and it was unknown who was following behind at this time.There are personal soldiers, there are organized ones, and there are scattered cavalry who have been disrupted, all relying on this big banner to gather people together.

The reins of two horses are also tied behind Wang Chong's saddle.The first war horse was injured by an arrow, and he threw it directly on the battlefield. Now he is riding a newly replaced spare horse.

An enemy cavalry rushed towards him.

These Hedong cavalry are really good and dare to fight.Even though the formation was broken and he became a ranger, he still did not lose his will to fight, which was indeed very different from the grassland herdsmen.

Wang Chong tightened his spear, and let go of the gun the moment he stabbed the enemy's chest. Then he didn't even look at the result, drew the ring-handled knife from under the saddle, and met another person.

"Pfft!" Another dead soul was added under the knife.

"Rampaging Qinghai at night with a knife, Xitushibao with a purple robe, haha, happy!" Wang Chong laughed wildly.

Those who were beheaded by him used Iron Rao, which is the weapon he hates the most now.

Weapons such as horse lances, iron scorpions, iron maces, and iron whips all take a long time to practice, and they are much more difficult than long spears. This will kill one more, and Hedong will lose one point of vitality.

Uighur soldiers, as many as you want!If it doesn't work, go to Ganzhou, Suzhou or even Shaqi to recruit troops. Before the last Uighur dies, you will always be able to defeat your Hedong cavalry.

"There's a bandit general, kill him!" Wang Chong took the long spear handed over by his own soldiers and pointed it away.

"Whoosh!" An arrow flew towards An Yuanxin's armor, and his tail feathers trembled endlessly.

There are many stray arrows on the battlefield, and many brave generals were killed by stray arrows instead of being killed head-on.An Yuanxin didn't feel that someone was targeting him specifically, and still led his subordinates to continue the charge, planning to go to Kang Junli first, and then make further calculations.

Horseshoes burst out, and a cavalry rushed over from the slanting stab.

An Yuanxin raised his hand and shot an arrow, but the other party dodged it smartly, and the arrow hit the throat of the soldier behind him - it was also bad luck for eight lifetimes.

"Die to me!" The spear came head-on.

An Yuanxin had been prepared for a long time, he dodged sideways, and then pulled out a small chisel and threw it over.

But there were too many people, Wang Chong was missed, and he didn't know who to hit.

"Why are these Hedong cavalry generals so difficult to deal with!" Wang Chong was about to go crazy. When he was fighting the Tubo tribe, it wasn't that troublesome.

After An Yuanxin and Wang Chong walked past each other, they also kept cursing.

If you fight normally, you should be able to win today, but with that armored cavalry, it's hard to say.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, one of the most bad tricks used by both sides was: use light cavalry to shoot arrows, lure the opponent's cavalry to pursue, and finally lead them into a place where armored cavalry ambushes, but today the Shuofang army did not send bait to provoke, but their own I took the initiative to bump into it here!

This is especially bloody.

……

The iron harrier waded across the entire battlefield, imposing.

Their armor is extremely thick, and their horses are astonishingly heavy. Even if they are held in their hands and not waved, as long as they charge with their arms flat, they can move forward indomitably.

Kang Junli's banner fled to the southeast quickly.

He is not stupid and knows how to avoid the sharp edge.

Armored cavalry is amazingly powerful, but it also consumes a lot.In a battle, there are at most two punches, so why go head-to-head?

Shi Yan and Li Chengsi were also very knowledgeable and followed closely behind Kang Junli.

The cavalrymen from the east of the river who were chasing after the silver spear just now turned their horses around as if seeing a plague god.

They didn't mess up the rules, but gathered together one by one, gathered the scattered troops as much as possible, and reorganized to the south.

But it's impossible to close it completely.

The cavalry generals of the Shuofang army gathered more than a thousand people. On the battlefield after the armored cavalry rushed past, they took advantage of the number and coordination advantages to kill and wound the scattered Hedong cavalry in large numbers, and the results were quite fruitful.

How many of these people can escape.

Today's battle was originally fought smoothly, but in the end it became like this, and I don't know what to say.

Kang Junli and the others stopped slowly.

The horse was panting heavily, and the sergeant's face turned pale.

Shi Yan's hair was disheveled, and he didn't know where he was going with his helmet on. Everyone behind him was wounded and dejected.

There was no injury on Li Chengsi's body, but his face was also very ugly: Could it be that he was ambushed today?
"Shao Bandit's armored cavalry is exhausted." Li Siyuan ran back in embarrassment, but he was in good spirits, and he knew how to say a few words to calm the atmosphere.

His official position is not high, much lower than that of Kang Junli, Li Chengsi, Shi Yan and others present, but because he is the adopted son of the King of Longxi County, no one said anything about him.

"They should be able to charge once more." Shi Yan said with a serious face: "Will you still fight?"

An Yuanxin was the last to run back, followed by only a few more than three hundred riders.

Kang Junli asked him to rectify the troops and horses into the battle, then glanced roughly, and his heart sank: I am afraid that more than a thousand horses were lost in today's battle.

Fight against Huangchao and attack Zhaoyi, but never lost so many cavalry in a single battle.

He could see that Shuofang's army was not ready for this battle.If the cavalry with armored cavalry is skilled in hand-to-hand combat, they will lose a lot in this game.

For both sides, it was a hasty and confused battle.

"No more fights!" Kang Junli sighed: "Even if the Shao thief is really in Xuanhongchi, this battle can no longer be fought. Morale has been demoralized, the army has no fighting spirit, fuck off, I will go back and apologize to the commander-in-chief. "

"What about Wan Shengjun?" Shi Yan asked inappropriately.

Kang Junli glared at him.

The cavalry army was blocked from going north, and Wan Sheng's army did not bring much food and grass.If there are no reinforcements, most of them will surrender, what else can they do?
