Chapter 273 Iron Cavalry Power
When an instructor was explaining what cavalry was to the students in the academy, he suddenly walked to the window and slammed his fist on the glass of the window with lightning speed.

Then the instructor, under the surprised eyes of the whole class, raised his bloody right hand and told the students, what is cavalry?Blood, strength, speed this is cavalry.

Even when the Youzhou iron cavalry was covered with heavy armor when they were dancing, they were well aware that they must first hurt the enemy and themselves.

Two hundred strong crossbows and a round of arrows all hit the armor of Youzhou cavalry.
According to the general records, Tang Jun equipped arm crossbows with [-] paces for foot combat, and horse crossbows with [-] paces for horse battles.It is also recorded in the general scriptures that Li Shimin can be called a god of arrows and is good at shooting. He shoots armor with a bow, and an arrow can penetrate seven pieces.But the three-stone crossbow can penetrate three armors at fifty paces.But for the Youzhou iron cavalry under heavy armor, this is a question of spear and shield, but the three-stone crossbow told them that it is equally lethal to heavy armor.

The crossbow arrows were like locusts, and the Youzhou cavalry under the heavy black armor were hit by a strong crossbow.The horse neighed, and the arrow pierced through the heavy armor. The first seven or eight heavy cavalry who rushed in with the front arrow array were immediately shot and turned on their backs. In the next 20 or so cavalry, both the man and the horse were hit three, four, five The six arrows did not wait, but they insisted on charging. There was also a rider and a horse who even got hit by more than a dozen arrows but still moved forward.

When the cavalry charged, the crossbowmen always had only one chance, so all the crossbowmen retreated. There were only two hundred crossbows or three-stage shots, so it was avoided. The archers who had just retreated raised their bows and raised their bows slightly. A round of rapid fire against heavy riding.

Li Chongjiu's county soldiers are all strong bows that can open a stone and a half, and there are even strong men who can open a strong bow with two stones. It is definitely more than enough for ordinary cavalry, but this once encountered Youzhou iron cavalry.

This time the bows and arrows were discounted, and the iron armors failed one after another. The current Youzhou cavalry were immediately filled with more arrows, but no one fell off the horse. This is simply impossible to break the defense.

With only twenty steps, the archers all stared wide-eyed, watching this scene in disbelief.

Get down!

Zhao Quanting had already issued an order, so he had no time to worry about the superfluous. The archers all followed the training order and crawled on the ground together with their heads in their arms. As they were lying on the ground, countless spears shot out from their heads in an instant. The long card is firmly planted on the ground.

This is an infantry phalanx with spears and heavy shields, but the Youzhou cavalry did not dare to attack. When they rushed forward, they waved horses that were Zhang Xu, Zhang Wu, or even Zhang Ba long on their horses (Note [-]) .

Horse lance is difficult to practice and difficult to master. It was necessary for brave generals in ancient times. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties of this era, Cheng Yaojin actually did not use a sharp axe, but used a horse lance.I saw the brave Youzhou cavalry, holding the horse lance flatly, turned the horse's head, and with a wave of both hands, knocked the horse lance horizontally and smashed it straight. The wooden shield was hit directly with bang bang bang.

Immediately, several infantry shields were broken, and the infantry with spears panicked. The Youzhou cavalry followed by several cavalry seized the opportunity, danced the horses in their hands tightly, and rushed straight into the infantry formation, weighing a thousand catties. The horses and heavy armor co-authors rushed into the infantry phalanx like a mountain.

The long swords of the infantry and shield soldiers can only pierce the armor, only the spears, and the infantry of the county soldiers is also well-trained, a little flustered, and immediately stabbed with more than a dozen spears.The spear pierced seventeen or eighteen holes through the horse's spear, and the muffled sound of the bones smashing into the flesh made the teeth sour, but the strength of the opponent's horse and man was irreversible, ruthless He smashed into the formation fiercely, breaking a hole in the formation.

Mo Dao soldiers, spearmen, and musketeers tried to block the gap, but it was too late. Youzhou cavalry swarmed towards the opening like bloody sharks.
This is the upright way of cavalry. If you want to smash the glass, don't be afraid of bleeding from your fists. Use all your body strength and strike hard with absolute speed and strength.He spoke bravely, but it was Li Chongjiu's own infantry phalanx that was defeated.

Li Chongjiu, who was in the distance, saw one body after another, being savagely knocked into the air, and crushed to the ground, his heart was about to break. His two thousand soldiers were considered finished, and Luo Yi really treated him hard. I took a lesson, what is a strong army of the Sui Dynasty, and what is a heavy cavalry.

Li Chongjiu suddenly realized that although he had been on the grassland for a long time, he had 5 to [-] troops who could fight, but he didn't have a single elite soldier.It's a pity that I was a businessman before, not a soldier.

Li Chongjiu immediately shouted at Wang Mahan: "Surround the Youzhou cavalry for me, and don't let any one go."

Li Chongjiu personally went into battle with the Wansheng Army, facing the Youzhou iron cavalry who were breaking the formation on the left wing, while Wang Mahan outflanked from the right wing, and behind him, Yinghe Fu's prairie ranger also completed the outflank, cooperating with Li Chongjiu, Wang Mahan encircled him on all sides.

Luo Yi, who was on the side, was in high spirits when his son broke Li Chongjiu's infantry phalanx, and also saw Li Chongjiu's intention to send troops to encircle him.Luo Yi raised his horsewhip and said, "Mother, this marketer still wants to eat my cavalry, how easy is it?"

At the moment, Luo Yi personally led his [-] Qingqi, and the [-] Rangers of Gao Kaidao's reinforcement Ashina Kush stepped forward for reinforcements.

Here, Luo Chengwu rode a Zhangba horse and a white robe stained red with blood. He led a thousand cavalry to pierce Li Chongjiu's two thousand infantry. Two thousand pawns.At this moment, Luo Cheng also saw the formation surrounded on all sides.

Heavy cavalry generally don't touch light cavalry, heavy cavalry can't run against the opponent, and are harassed by the opponent's bow and arrow, but cavalry bows generally don't break the armor of heavy cavalry, but if it is the horse harness of grassland cavalry, it can be easily brigadier one by one Heavy cavalry pulled off the horse.

Luo Cheng was brave but not reckless, and immediately led his army to retreat.

Luo Yi's Youzhou cavalry fought fiercely with the Ertuo cavalry, neither of them were heavy cavalry.For Luo Yi and Da Sui, the cost of building an armored cavalry was too high after all, but the Youzhou Qingqi should not be underestimated. Back then, Gongsun Zan's white horse Yi Cong was a strong soldier in Zhuo County.

After the two sides fought fiercely for a while, Ashina Kush led hundreds of cavalry to join Luo Yi's cavalry, and at this time Li Chongjiu led the Wansheng Army cavalry to kill.

Ashina Kush, the Turkic special service, saw a general in the opposing army wearing a white cloak and black armor, and immediately knew it was a big fish.Ashina Kush opened his bow and shot an arrow, but the opponent was also looking at him. After the opponent turned sideways to avoid the arrow, he turned to control the bow and shot seven arrows in succession.

Ashina Kush was caught off guard, he did not expect the opponent's arrows to shoot so fast, after avoiding the first three arrows, the fourth arrow could not be avoided.

Ashina Kush fell from his horse with a thud, with four arrows stuck in his body.
