Rise of the Heavens

Chapter 200 Heavy Cavalry Breaking the Formation (Part [-])
Above the wilderness, Gao Cheng stood on top of a command vehicle that was several feet high. Looking from a distance, he saw a black line surging towards the sky, and the earth-shaking roar came from the ground. I couldn't help the commotion, but then I was scolded by the general in command and calmed down.

In the Central Plains, 20 cavalry are enough to rule the world, and Chahan Timur's [-] cavalry are like thunder. If it is a frontal impact, the cavalry can break through all obstacles.

With such momentum, it's no wonder that those barbarians in the Western Continent call it Heaven's Punishment.

However, there have been many ways to deal with cavalry in the Central Plains since ancient times, and Gao Cheng was naturally prepared. In front of the army formation, there were two circles of solid iron-clad vans. In the original timeline, Ming Taizu drove out the army formation of the Tartars. , is to cooperate with each other in chariot formation and infantry.

Use the van as a wall to block the impact of the cavalry.Then archers, cavalry, and various arms cooperated with each other, and finally defeated the Mongolian and Yuan iron cavalry.

There was no one else around Gao Cheng, and Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu, Hu Dahai, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the generals who commanded the army, were already on the two wings and the central army were ready to meet the enemy.

Yang Xiao, Fan Yao, and Yin Tianzheng, the masters, recharged their energy and stored up their energy. As long as the terrifying impact of the Mengyuan iron cavalry was blocked, they would charge straight into the enemy's formation with the Five Elements Banner elite and capture and kill Mengyuan Ruyang King.

"coming!"

At this time, Gao Cheng murmured, watching the movement of the Mongolian Yuan army in the distance. When the 20 cavalry came to the field, they suddenly stopped charging, and the 20 cavalry dismounted one after another. Take out the bean cakes from the pouch and feed them to the horses, so that the horses under their seats can recover their strength.

There are two types of cavalry, one is light cavalry and the other is heavy cavalry. Among them, light cavalry focuses on harassing food roads and is good at bows and arrows.The heavy cavalry is good at impact and breaking formations.This kind of heavy cavalry that broke the formation was called Xuanjia Jingqi in the Tang Dynasty, and it was called Iron Buddha in the Kingdom of Jin.

In Mengyuan, it was called Que Xuejun!

Chahan Timur went south this time, although there were not many masters accompanying him, he brought Xue Jun, the most elite of Meng Yuan, a total of [-].

Heavy cavalry to break through the formation requires a terrifying impact.The physical strength of the horses is limited, so before the battle, the Mongolian cavalry did not rush out immediately, but recovered the physical strength of the horses first.

If the enemy does not move, the Ming army will naturally not take the initiative to attack.The opponent is a cavalry, and they can fight as long as they want, and if they move out rashly, the whole army will be wiped out.

After about a while, the Mongolian Yuan cavalry mounted their horses one after another, separated tens of thousands of cavalry, bypassed the chariot formation in front, and attacked the two ribs of the army like two poisoned sharp daggers.

In the distance, Chahan Timur held a spear in his hand and carefully observed the formation of the Ming army. When he saw the formation of chariots, he frowned slightly and did not send the most elite Xue army.Instead, first use the cavalry under his command to strike with bows and arrows.

boom!The [-] Mongolian cavalry of the Chinese army dispatched, trampled on the mountains and rivers, and rushed forward roaring.

When they came a hundred steps ahead of the chariot formation and were about to hit the van, one by one Mongolian soldiers suddenly clamped their legs on their horses, and the surging cavalry ran to the sides very flexibly. With a roar, he bent his bow and shot an arrow.Countless arrows rained like dark clouds, covering the car formation.

Puff puff puff!Countless arrows rained down in the car formation, some of which were blocked by the van, and most of them fell into the army formation behind the car formation.

"Raise your shield!"

Chang Yuchun, who was in the middle army, had been prepared for a long time, and when he saw the arrow rain appearing, he shouted orders.The sword and shield fighters in front of the army immediately covered their whole bodies with shields.The sword and shield hand had a shield to protect the body, so there was no serious problem, but a small amount of arrow rain fell in the spear formation behind, and some spearmen were shot to death.

Among the chariot formation ahead, the Ming army's archers also began to fight back, but the long arrows they shot did not pose much threat to the Mongolian cavalry who came and went like the wind.

At the beginning of the confrontation, the Ming army fell into a situation of being suppressed.

Standing on the podium at the back, Gao Cheng couldn't help sighing when he saw this situation: "As expected of the Mongolian cavalry with unparalleled riding and shooting, if there is no box car in front to resist, I am afraid that this field battle will be defeated!"

However, the situation in front of him is not optimistic. Gao Cheng's mental strength is extremely strong now, and he can feel that the Mengyuan iron cavalry and core elites have not been used. Now he can only hope that Chang Yuchun can withstand the pressure.

When the Chinese army attacked, the Mongolian cavalry on both wings also began to attack, but the chariot formation set up by Gao Cheng was connected end to end, like a city wall, with very tight protection on the flanks, and the generals on the two wings were Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, and others. There are Feng Sheng and Lan Yu.

These generals have extraordinary abilities, and it is not so easy for Meng Yuan cavalry to break through.

On the front, the Mongolian cavalry galloped several times in a row, shooting five rounds of arrow rain back and forth, covering every inch in front of them.Thousands of archers, sword and shield players, and pikemen in the Ming army's chariot formation had already been killed or injured.

The originally indestructible car formation was shaken along with the casualties.

When Chahan Timur saw this situation, he was immediately overjoyed. The Mongolian cavalry who rode and shot five rounds in front had reached their limit, and their mounts were about to run out of energy, finally shaking the opponent's formation.

"But Xue Jun, attack with me!"

The Ruyang King of Mengyuan grasped the opportunity keenly, roared immediately, and personally brought [-] Que Xue troops out with a bang, like a thunderbolt, nothing in the world could stop the Que Xue Jun's impact.

As long as the gap in the chariot formation in front is broken, other Mongolian and Yuan cavalry can rush in and destroy the large formation of the Ming army.

This elite team was extremely fast. The cavalry and horses were all armored, and if the long arrows shot at them, they would be bounced off by the armor.Like a demon rising from hell.

boom!The hundreds of heavy armored cavalry in the front rushed directly on the van, and the impact force of each heavy armored cavalry was thousands of catties.Hundreds of cavalry rammed into it in succession, knocking the circle of chariots out of a depression.

At this time, the surrounding archers, spearmen, and sword and shield players were just covered by bows and shot down, and there was no time to step forward to block the gap.

Boom boom boom!The gap opened by hundreds of heavy cavalry with their flesh and blood was quickly expanded by the influx of companions from the rear.

"Shield array! Block it for me! Spearman, step forward and assassinate!"

When Chang Yuchun saw this, he became furious. With a heavy iron gun in his hand, he leaped to the front, roaring continuously, and commanding the army formation ahead.

"die!"

He was extremely fast, and came to the front in a blink of an eye. Several heavy armored cavalry rushed over. Chang Yuchun roared and raised his hand to shoot. The wind and thunder surged, and the frontmost cavalry flew away with a bang.

Then he took the lead and criss-crossed back and forth, causing more than a dozen Mongolian and Yuan cavalrymen to fall to the ground.Inspired by his bravery, the spearmen and sword shieldmen behind shouted and rushed forward to block the Mongolian Yuan cavalry pouring in through the gap.

It's a pity that Xue Jun is wearing armor, and the impact is extremely terrifying. Unless it is a real city wall or his physical strength is exhausted, once he rushes up, the sword, shield, and spearman will be lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Gao Cheng looked tense, took a step forward, swept his eyes in front of him, and immediately saw Chahan Timur's position. At this time, the Ruyang King was following behind, not far from the chariot formation.There are several master guards around.

"good chance!"

He immediately issued an order, waved the command flag, and pointed out the direction.The five-element flag, the real elite of the Ming army, immediately galloped out from behind.Masters like Yang Xiao, Fan Yao, and Yin Tianzheng acted as vanguards, directly attacking the commander of the Meng Yuan cavalry army.
