Eastern Jin Invincible Iron Army

Chapter 91 Protecting the Governor

"Squeak, creak..." With a piercing sound that made the teeth sore, the gate of the Immortal City slowly opened.The moment the city gate opened, the soldiers of the new army led by Gao Jingzong rolled forward like a black torrent.

Jiang Fang, captain of Lu Longtian's begging army cavalry, saw countless black-clothed and black-armored soldiers pouring out from the city gate.Jiang Fang's cavalry was only fifty steps away from the city gate. In such a short distance, light cavalry could not increase their speed.

When cavalry fights infantry, to put it bluntly, cavalry has imposing and psychological advantages. Looking down on people from a high position makes people feel a sense of accomplishment and superiority. On the contrary, infantry makes people feel inferior and crisis.However, at this time, the morale of the soldiers of the dead army and the new army was like a rainbow, rushing down the mountain like a tiger, rushing towards Jiang Fang's troops.

The cavalry has strong maneuverability and can strike any weakness of the opponent.It can do a violent raid at a critical moment and insert it into the center of the enemy's formation to play a great role in destruction.The cavalry is generally the main assault force. The cavalry assaults the enemy's formation from the side and rear, and cooperates with the main frontal attack.The cavalry has the advantage of speed, strength and height. The weight and speed of the horse strengthen the impact and striking power of the cavalry. It is a very powerful assault force. The infantry is obviously inferior in this respect.However, the buffer distance was too short at this time, and Jiang Fang's cavalry could not form a high-speed assault force at all.The dead army and the new army yelled and swarmed.

The soldiers of the new army, who were at the forefront of the dead army, used spears and swords and shields.In particular, the spear with a length of more than one foot and eight feet is shining coldly, taking people's souls away.Facing the nemesis of the light cavalry, Jiang Fang only felt dizzy for a while.Before he had time to react, he saw a large number of arrows hitting his head and covering his face, puff puff... The sound of arrows piercing the flesh sounded one after another, and this wave of arrows rained dozens of arrows on Jiang Fang's cavalry.Dozens of unowned war horses stopped in place and neighed.

Jiang Fang was so distressed that the cavalry was not easy to train, and the cost was high. Even if they exchanged five to one with the infantry, in fact they still suffered.Jiang Fang shouted: "Retreat, retreat quickly, and distance yourself!"

Lu Longtian's light cavalry retreated one by one after hearing the order.

Gao Jingzong took the opportunity to shout: "The enemy is defeated, the enemy is defeated!"

The recruits of the dead army didn't know why, but they could see that the enemy cavalry was retreating in a hurry, and these recruits shouted and shouted again and again.

There are also many battles in which the elite soldiers of the Han and Tang Dynasties defeated the Hu cavalry with fewer troops, and the awe of the Hu cavalry towards the Han and Tang troops was deeply rooted.The second is that the Han and Tang troops showed self-confidence.If an army has extremely strong self-confidence, then no matter how many powerful enemies it faces, it can fight to the end.So at this time, the new army of the dead army gradually became imposing, no longer hesitated, and charged closely behind Gao Jingzong.Soldiers are generals, and generals are the souls of soldiers.Generals are not afraid of death, why should scholars be afraid of it?
As the recruits of the dead army shouted, "The enemy is defeated!" The soldiers of Lu Longtian's begging army who pulled the catapult also saw that the cavalry was retreating in a hurry.At this time, the performance of Tian's begging army was astonishing. Some people bravely stepped forward to resist, while others turned their heads and ran away.

Without an effective defense, it is easy for recruits from the dead army to break through the line of defense.

"It's so easy to break through?" Ji Kan, who was watching the battle on the city wall, stared dumbfounded at the vulnerable Tian's begging army soldiers.Wei Dafu stepped forward to grab a cyan war horse that was left behind, jumped up and held the flag and was about to charge, but he suddenly remembered something, and immediately commanded two personal guards to lead a war horse each, and came to Gao Jingzong's chariot .Put the two war horses on the cart.

Gao Jingzong was so moved that he wanted to cry, and finally he could sit in the carriage.

At this time, all the recruits set fire under the command of the captain and the general of the hundred men. This ability to set fire is a man's nature, and there is no need to teach it. In a short while, more than fifty catapults were burned into a lake of fire.Although the recruits of the dead army fought against the false with the real, they won the first battle and their morale was greatly boosted!

The task was easily completed. Gao Jingzong, who was leading the army for the first time, didn't know to be afraid at all. He saw Tian's army slowly gathering under Tian Luo's commander-in-chief, and rushed to Wei Dafu: "Dafu, to their commander-in-chief. The governor will kill the general and capture the flag!"

Gao Jingzong's chariot galloped forward quickly under the driver's control.

Tian Luo was also roaring to encourage the soldiers of the Tian family army: "Soldiers, we are all Yanzhao's good sons, natural warriors, although there are many enemies, they are just pigs, sheep and cattle! Will I, Yanzhao's son, be afraid of cowardly sheep? ?”

"No! Never!"...

"Warriors." Tian Luo's purple gold hammer pointed forward: "Destroy them!"

The soldiers of the Tian family army immediately drew their bows and shot arrows, and a rain of arrows gushed out from the Tian family army's formation.pity.Only a few dead army recruits fell to the ground with arrows.Gao Jingzong's troops are equipped with thousands of armors.In the haste of the Tian family army, they forgot to use the armor-piercing arrows. The use of ordinary light arrows has almost negligible damage to the iron armor.

The dead soldiers rushing forward saw the arrow rain attack, and instinctively closed their eyes in fright.However, after a while, he found that the arrow shot at his body was cut from the blade of the armor, and he only heard the sound like rain hitting a banana leaf.

Gao Jingzong took the opportunity to yell, "Their arrows are so weak that they can't kill us!"

The other recruits of the dead army also shouted at the same time: "Their arrows can't kill us!"

Jiang Fang saw that Gao Jingzong, who was pretending to the extreme, was very cool standing in the car, so he knew that Gao Jingzong's status was aloof.Seeing him suddenly sit up straight from the horseback.The left hand holds the recurve bow raised, and the right hand shoots a heavy arrow on the bowstring.Quickly draw the bow like a full moon.Let go of the finger holding the arrow.The bowstring sent out the three-edged heavy arrow smoothly.Nailed viciously at the heart of Gao Jingzong on the opposite side.

Gao Jingzong was shouting and directing the soldiers to march forward, a cold light pierced his chest viciously.Bow and arrow single-arrow sniper kill, in fact, it is very difficult to succeed, after all, the initial velocity of bow and arrow is not high, only about 40 meters per second.Seeing the arrow flying towards Gao Jingzong, Gao Jingzong was so frightened that he forgot to dodge it. He watched the arrow hit his chest. When the arrow was less than three feet away from Gao Jingzong, he saw a guard blocking his body. In front of Gao Jingzong.The personal guard felt as if he had been hit by a hammer, and his body swayed, but he didn't fall down.

Jiang Fang's eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets. The three-edged heavy arrow was designed to break through heavy armor. At a distance of more than fifty steps, even the top-level fish scale armor of the Jin army was hard to resist, even the armor of the Yan army was the same. Can also penetrate!What is this fine steel armor made of, that it can't be pierced by shooting it?

Of course, Jiang Fang didn't know that it wasn't Gao Jingzong's personal guard's heavy armor and strong defensive ability, but that the new guard blocked the arrow with an arm guard made of fine steel.Although the three-edged armor-piercing arrow is not weak in armor-piercing ability, it cannot penetrate the fine steel armor with an average thickness of more than five millimeters.

Just when Jiang Fang shot Gao Jingzong, the recruits of the dead army collectively went crazy, and the soldiers of the new army shouted together: "Protect the governor, protect the governor!"

Regardless of whether these dead army soldiers have armor or not, no matter whether they will die if they rush up, there is only one thought in their heads: "Protect the governor, protect Gao Jingzong!"
