(Thanks to ycxukpk for support, thank you!)

As if they had experienced half a lifetime of intensive bombardment, the tribal fighters attacking from the east, who were still in a daze, were preparing to regroup amidst the shouts of China, the wolf of Shiwei. At this moment, the gate of the east camp suddenly opened. .

Shi Wei Zhilang China was just blown into a mess, seeing the camp door suddenly opened automatically, his eyes were bloodshot immediately, screaming like he was about to advance instead of retreat, wanting to rush into the camp in one fell swoop.

As a result, amidst the sound of rumbling iron hooves, a black flag appeared.

Li Cunxiao took the lead, leading the heavy cavalry of the Black Banner Army to roll out.

In the cavalry formation of the Qin Army, the Black Banner Army has always maintained [-] heavy cavalry. Although the number is small and the number of dispatches is also small, each time it is dispatched, it is deterred by its terrifying impact and destructive power. Enemy, deterring the battlefield.Their appearance can often play a decisive role. They enter the battlefield at the most critical time, obtain the deadliest threat, and completely defeat their opponents who are five times or ten times their size.

After the establishment of the heavy cavalry of the Black Banner Army, Daibei defeated the Shatuo people, Liaodong defeated the Goguryeo people, Liaoxi defeated the Khitan people, and Hebei defeated the Heshuo San Francisco.The powerful enemies were also crushed into dust in front of them.

The Qin Army's Black Banner Army rarely dispatched. In this Daibei battlefield, the Qin Army's Black Banner Heavy Cavalry never appeared once. This made the tribal coalition forces who came on the grassland forget the Qin Army Not only is the cannon sharp and armored, but it also has an extremely terrifying heavy cavalry.A cavalry unit that has long since died out in this era.

Two thousand heavy cavalry were placed on the east and west wings by Li Jing, and the ones in the middle were ordinary cuirassiers.

To the east, all the thousand heavy cavalry were wearing black steel armor, all the cavalry were wearing full-body knight armor, and the war horses were also wearing thick iron armor.Under the black flag, the knights wore jet-black black armor, but on their heads were barrel-shaped iron barrel helmets. Both the man and the horse were completely covered by the thick iron armor.

With spears like clouds in their hands, they quickly completed the preparations for the attack in front of the camp gate, forming a steel phalanx.

The sky was filled with undispelled gunpowder smoke, the sun was covered, and a few rays of sunlight penetrated through the gunpowder smoke, reflecting the heavy cavalry of the Black Banner Army in front of the camp, reflecting a delicate light.The breeze blew by, gently lifting the long black leather cloaks of the cavalrymen.

Li Cunxiao took the lead, rushing to the forefront of the formation, his eyes were full of high fighting spirit, like a hunter staring at the prey, looking at the barbarian warriors rushing in front of him.He raised his heavy iron spear high, and immediately, all of a sudden, the cavalry behind him let out a deafening roar: "Kill!"

Thinking of what the King of Qin said to him before the battle, he couldn't help but feel even more excited.

"Huchen, defeat them, upgrade the heavy cavalry to a dragon cavalry army alone, expand the number to five thousand cavalry, and form a black banner army of ten armies with the black banner army and dragon cavalry army as the core. Legion Commander."

The commander of the legion, the ten armies, Li Cunxiao was very excited when he thought of this.Liu Xun has become the head of the Wansheng Army, and he can't fall too far behind.Even if this Black Banner Legion is only a temporary establishment, being the head of the Legion is enough to make him proud.

The torrent of iron cavalry charged quickly, and the horseshoes roared like thunder.Although there were ten times as many enemy cavalry in front of them, in Li Cunxiao's eyes, they were just a group of chickens and dogs who had been shelled and frightened.Although they seem to be so numerous and powerful, and there are tens of thousands of undispatched Hu cavalry on the distant plains, many of whom can't even see the end, but he is not afraid, and the heavy cavalry is invincible. feared.

China, the wolf of Shiwei, quickly felt the terrifying momentum coming. The heavy cavalry was originally an old troop that had been formed for many years. After reorganization, their strength has been maintained.Every member is a battle-hardened veteran, and now, they are prancing horses with guns again, bringing an aura of nowhere to move forward, all clothed, and those who stand in my way will die.This is a terrifying army, a powerful army, a strong and fearless army with a military spirit, it can be called a cavalry nightmare.Among the queues of heavy cavalry, amidst the howling, the terrifying fighting spirit like a wolf and a tiger made Chi Na's anger and fighting spirit that had just risen, and the ice melted quickly, and the fear began to rise from the bottom of his heart .

The ground seemed to be constantly vibrating from the beating of these steel hills, making it unsteady for people to stand.The horseshoes were rumbling beside the ears, and the orderly formation of heavy cavalry was like a heavy mountain, towering and tall, but pressing on them quickly, the tribal fighters in front who managed to survive under the artillery fire almost screamed Before he could yell out, he was already knocked into the air by the huge impact force.

Second row, third row...

After the gunfire plowed through, the tribal cavalry, who could not even preserve their formation, were instantly crushed by this unstoppable torrent of steel, as vulnerable as a chicken and a dog.

"kill!"

The heavy cavalry of the Black Banner Army let out a loud roar from under the iron barrel helmets, drowning out the screams of the tribal soldiers falling off their horses and the sound of breaking weapons.Under their horrific offensive, the wolf China of Shiwei, who had just gathered thousands of people, couldn't even resist for a moment, and was instantly submerged by the black armored torrent.

Shi Wei Zhilang Chi's eyes were bloodshot, his teeth were clenched, he saw that something was wrong.The Qin people's shelling was extremely violent, directly destroying their army's morale and formation, annihilating at least [-]% of their soldiers and horses, and seriously injuring about [-]% of their soldiers.He could still bear the casualties. After all, the troops could be gathered together after they were dispersed. Based on his experience, it was impossible for the Qin people to maintain such fierce artillery fire all the time.The fiercer the Qin cannons fired, the more it proved that their camp defense was empty at this time.As long as they work harder and rush over, the victory will eventually belong to them.

But he didn't expect that the Qin people's artillery and cavalry cooperated so exquisitely. The artillery group's firepower had just stopped, and the cavalry was ready to attack, and as the cavalry was dispatched, the artillery fire extended to open the way for the cavalry. They were unable to form an formation to face Qin Qi.When the sound of the cannons stopped, the cavalry of the Qin Army had rushed to the front.

Chi Na shouted and led the men and horses around him to charge up, and he wanted to stop the charge of the heavy cavalry immediately.Right now, the remaining cavalry on the battlefield are broken into formation. If the heavy cavalry rush in, they will no longer be able to regroup.The heavy cavalry relies entirely on charging. As long as their speed can be restrained, they can in turn eat this heavy cavalry, which is far smaller than them.What's more, there are still 4 people behind who have not been dispatched, and he still has strong support.

Thousands of Hu cavalry rushed up scatteredly, and the two sides collided head-on, just like two huge waves slapping, causing countless splashing waves, and the cavalry on both sides smashed the sparks from the collision of iron armor.

The tribal fighters are very fierce. If it were ordinary soldiers and horses in the Central Plains, they would have been defeated by the violent shelling just now.But amidst China's roar, they still mustered up their courage again and charged forward.It's just a moment of ferocity, but it can't help them defeat the enemy.

When the swords in their hands were facing the heavy cavalry, they slashed at the knight armor of the Qin people, and a burst of sparks splashed, but they couldn't penetrate the specially made full-body armor of the heavy knight at all. Chopping on the head, poking the chest, or stabbing the horse, it doesn't help at all.

On the contrary, the cavalry lance in the charge of the heavy cavalry was like a battering ram. When the two horses collided, the huge speed directly increased the power of the lance countless times.It is almost unnecessary for the cavalry to use force, as long as they hold the gun firmly, aim at the target and hit it, the high speed and strong force will directly allow the cavalry to penetrate the tribal warriors easily, even if they put on iron armor, it will not be able to stop them. Ribbed cavalry head with armor-piercing effect.

Each spear can pierce a tribal warrior, and some even pierce two directly in a row, stringing them together.Some lances broke after piercing through the enemy army due to excessive impact force, but this did not slow down the heavy cavalry.They didn't even need long guns, they directly relied on the high-speed impact force to knock down the Hu Qi who was standing in front of him.

In less than a moment, the two soldiers and horses that had collided head-on had already seen their results. Large numbers of tribal fighters were knocked down, and the soldiers and horses were overturned by the storm and smashed to pieces by the huge waves like a small boat in a storm.

The Hu cavalry who spread out behind were even more unable to stop the heavy cavalry. They tried to escape, but they couldn't escape the fast heavy cavalry. The piece of iron wall was beaten back, was knocked into the air, and was trampled into mud.

Be it warriors or war horses, tribal cavalry were crushed to the ground under the impact of this incomparably swift torrent of armored armor. As soon as the snow wave rushed, it was already scattered in smoke and disappeared without a trace.

Finally, the ferocity of that minute gradually cooled down, reason overcame barbarism, and the tribal soldiers finally woke up.

These iron barrel soldiers are simply unbeatable monsters!

A howl of fear and despair sounded, and then panic spread, and the soldiers and horses of China, the wolf of Shiwei, were immediately defeated and fled in all directions, just trying to avoid the torrent of death behind them.

At this time, Yelu Shilu, the commander of the Hu people who had just recovered from the destructive shelling of the Qin army, realized that the situation was not good.

After being covered by the artillery fire and trampled by the heavy cavalry's charge, the [-] tribal fighters he sent out were almost completely defeated.The morale of the army is gone, and the morale is gone. The defeated soldiers are fleeing backwards, while the two heavy cavalry on the east and west wings are constantly outflanking the south.

The two wings outflank, and the Chinese army breaks through!

It was almost the same strategy as he had arranged to deal with the Qin army before. The difference was that the Qin people arranged two heavy cavalry on the two wings, breaking the two wings first, and then moving closer to the middle.In the end, needless to say, after the three thousand cavalry approached, they would drive the defeated soldiers from the front, all the way to his rear camp.

He remembered that the Han Chinese had an image name for such a tactic, rolling the beaded curtain upside down!

There were still terrified screams in front of them, "The armored cavalry is coming, the unbeatable armored cavalry is coming!"

Yelu Shilu set his sights on Yelu Fu Guzhi, and now it is no longer a matter of failure in attacking.What they are now facing is that not only the 3 horses who attacked may eventually be trampled to death, but even their 4 horses may be rolled back.In such a big battle, although so far, not many soldiers and horses have died in battle, but if they are attacked by the defeated army, it may cause the collapse of the entire army. .

Although this possibility is small, no one dares to take the risk.

Deputy Commander Yelu Fugu's face was ashen. He never thought that the Qin army with only 2 people would give them a blow in the head as soon as they came up.The terrifying bombardment is still echoing in his mind, it is a devastating attack.He felt the same fear in his heart, but he had no choice.

He nodded to Yelu Shilu, and immediately turned around and ordered: "Khitan warriors are ready to fight!"

Those tribal soldiers were scared out of their wits. At this moment, only the Khitan warriors with the most determined fighting spirit can turn the tide.

Shiwei's tiger, Shiwei's wolf, and Shiwei's eagle, the three-way army led by these three powerful warriors, has been powerless to recover.They still want to gather their troops and horses and fight back against the cavalry of the Qin army, but the leaders of those small tribes have simply given up their fighting spirit and started to flee wildly. .Their order was passed on, but it only added a lot of confusion in vain.

The east and west wings once again burst into high-pitched shouts, adding to the fear. The heavy cavalry has broken through from the two wings, outflanking and approaching the middle! (To be continued.)
