Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3011 Iron Cavalry Hurricane
It is true that armored cavalry has various weaknesses, such as insufficient mobility, expensive feeding and maintenance, etc., and has never been able to achieve large-scale expansion in history, making it a conventional arm.

But there is one thing that is incomparable among all arms, and that is the impact power.

The horses for armored cavalry are of the highest quality. They are usually nearly two meters tall and weigh more than [-] jin. They are strong and have sufficient endurance. , the overall weight is often close to two thousand catties.

The two-thousand-jin behemoth rushes at a speed of nearly [-] kilometers per hour. The oppressive feeling is like Mount Tai pressing down on the top, mountains roaring and tsunamis, often before reaching the enemy's front, the enemy's courage is already shocked and their morale collapses.

In addition, the heavy armor is not afraid of swords and arrows. Therefore, in this era of cold weapons, armored cavalry can be called the king of field battles!

As long as it has enough charging distance, even the most elite army in the world will be irresistible.

What's more, these rabble in the Goguryeo Army who have not received much formal training...

So when the shadow of the armored cavalry appeared from the line of sight, the rumbling cry overshadowed the roaring river, rolling over like a mountain, and the momentum of landslides made all the Goguryeo soldiers tremble with fear. Crack!
Gao Huizhen got up abruptly, drew out his saber, and shouted: "Form the formation! Form the formation! Those who are afraid of being defeated and flee will be killed without mercy!"

He kicked a soldier running past him to the ground, and then swung his saber and chopped it down fiercely. With blood gushing out, he beheaded the rout soldier's head.

In the face of cavalry, especially heavy armored cavalry, infantry can only survive if they form an array and resist desperately. If they flee in all directions, they will die.

No matter how fast two legs are, can they be faster than four legs?Once the armored cavalry breaks through the formation, no matter how many soldiers are, they can only be chased and killed like lambs!

The generals around him also reacted, drew out their sabers one after another, beheaded more than a dozen defeated soldiers in a row, and only then could the chaotic situation be stabilized.The Brigade Commander, Team Commander, Chief, and Corps Chief began to fully gather the army, and quickly formed an array with the brigade as a unit.

Spearmen are outside, guarded by shieldmen, and archers are guarded in the middle, shooting from a long distance with bows and arrows... Of course, this is useless, with armored cavalry, men and horses are well armored, and bows and crossbows are ignored at all.It's just that this kind of phalanx has always been used to meet the cavalry. In a hurry, the officers in the army subconsciously commanded the soldiers who had not undergone much training to form a phalanx.

When it was discovered that the bows and arrows shot could not penetrate the armor of the enemy cavalry at all, it was too late to change the formation.

More than two thousand light cavalry rushed to the left and right like a tide in front of the formation, and the knights immediately drew their bows and arrows, and the arrows shot at the phalanx of the Goguryeo army like locusts.The cavalry has an impact bonus, throwing bows and arrows on the horse has a longer range, and easily throws the sword rain into the phalanx of the Goguryeo army, but the bows and arrows of the Goguryeo army can't reach the light cavalry of the Tang army at all.

Arrows rained like locusts, and the sharp triangular arrow clusters easily pierced the leather armor and thin clothing of the Goguryeo army, blood spattered, and fell to the ground one by one.

Hundreds of armored cavalry maintained a constant speed, and ten horses formed a group, and they were fiercely mounted on the phalanx of the Goguryeo army.

It was as if the sea tide rolled up huge waves and slapped on the reefs on the shore crazily, with a "boom" sound. It was the sound of a war horse in iron armor mounted on a human body, splashing a wave of blood, which made people dazzled. .The Goguryeo soldiers with broken bones and tendons were knocked back and flew back, and their corpses slammed on their companions behind them, and the still neat formation suddenly loosened.

Gao Huizhen's eyes were about to burst, and he roared, "Hold it! Fight back! Fight back!"

The soldiers of Goguryeo also knew that the armored cavalry had amazing lethality. If they could not withstand this wave of charge, everyone would die on the spot, so they struggled to stab the horse and the enemy with their spears and knives, their eyes red with blood. Desperate to block the enemy.

However, can manpower resist the impact of armored cavalry?

Countless spears and long knives failed to resist the impact of the armored cavalry, and were rushed into the formation fiercely. The places where the iron hoofs trampled were bloody and bloody. In the place, blood spewed out, ghosts cried and wolves howled, and countless stumps, broken arms, and internal organs were thrown in all directions.

The miserable state of the Goguryeo army is like a ghost town.

Gao Huizhen gritted his teeth and frantically commanded the troops around him: "Rush up! Rush up and entangle the enemy, don't give them room to charge!"

This is a self-defeating style of play, but it is also the only tactic that can deal with armored cavalry.

The Armor of Man and Horse does provide a huge impact and strong protection, almost invulnerable, but its weakness is that its mobility becomes poor. After rushing into the enemy's formation, it either goes out through the formation, or returns immediately, and then sprints again after opening the distance.

Once tightly entangled by the enemy, it loses its impact and becomes a moving iron coffin...

……

Xue Wanche has always taken the lead and charged forward.

At this moment, manipulating the horse and rushing fiercely into the enemy's formation, the Mo knife in his hand slashed to the left, and an enemy with a long knife in his hand trying to cut at the horse's leg was split into two pieces by him.The splattered blood and internal organs drew a blood-red rainbow in the air, which made Xue Wanche go crazy!
Holding the Mo Dao with both hands, he bravely rushed to kill, looking like a god of killing!
What official politics, what sophistication, what beauties...all these things have nothing to do with me, I can't play it!
Only by being on the battlefield can I show my abilities. I was born for the battlefield!

Xue Wanche, who was inexplicably excited, only relied on his legs to steer the horse, holding the Mo Dao in both hands and flying up and down. Kill in the middle!
Where is there a general?
Stimulated by Xue Wanche's bravery, the surrounding soldiers' morale was high, and they followed behind him to fight bravely. Hundreds of armored cavalry were like sharp chisels, ruthlessly digging into the enemy's formation.The enemy troops in front of them were like weak chicken cubs, killing and slashing at will, which made these Tang soldiers feel bloody and excited!

Xue Wanche took the lead, and every time Mo Dao swung the knife, blood would splatter every time he cut it. He suddenly felt the pressure in front of him relax, but found that he had already killed a phalanx.He was so aggressive that he didn't care about it, his legs tightly clamped the horse's belly, and the horse sprinted again, slamming into the next phalanx fiercely.

It stands to reason that this is not the case with armored cavalry. After killing a phalanx, you have to turn back to take a breather, so as to leave enough space to fully increase the speed of the horse and exert the greatest impact.And if there are too many enemies, you can't love to fight, otherwise, once you get into a tight siege, the impact force can't be exerted, and you will fall into a deadlock.

Xue Wanche can't do anything else, he is definitely a first-class fighter in war, how can he not understand this truth?But his purpose was not to wipe out all the enemy troops in front of him, and he couldn't wipe them all out. At a glance, there were [-] to [-] people like ants, right?Even if these Goguryeo soldiers are all pigs and can run all over the mountain, he can't kill all these people under his command...

The strategic purpose is only to kill the vital force of the enemy army, to damage the morale of the enemy army, so that it cannot support Anshicheng smoothly, that is simple.

Just kill and play!

Not far behind, the pawns led by Wang Wendu had already lined up and pressed forward slowly.

Once Xue Wanche fell into the enemy's siege, Wang Wendu would kill and disperse the enemy directly, and let him leave calmly.

……

Gao Huizhen naturally saw the Tang army's infantry slowly appearing in the distance, and Dang even understood Tang's intention - this was to meet the armored cavalry!

He found that he seemed to have caught a fleeting opportunity, which might change the situation of the battle, but he was not sure that he could stop this Tang army pawn.

However, at this time, he was not allowed to hesitate at all. The opportunity to fight on the battlefield was fleeting. How could there be any chance for him to deliberate and argue carefully?Immediately shouted to his lieutenant general: "Lead my commander's personal guards and rush up to stop that Tang army for me! As long as you stop them from responding to the armored cavalry, I will ask Da Mo Lizhi for your credit!"

The lieutenant general is also a fierce general who has fought for a long time. Even if he understood the intention of his commander, he immediately gritted his teeth: "The last general will not retreat, and he must stop the Tang army!"

Immediately led the elite personal guards, and even led thousands of soldiers around the back road of the armored cavalry, and the smoke and dust billowed towards Wang Wendu's troops and killed them.

The light cavalry guarding behind the armored cavalry continued to weave through, inflicting constant damage on the Goguryeo army that was trying to rent Wang Wendu.But the Goguryeo people completely ignored the casualties. They didn't even look at the light cavalry running up and down around them and kept shooting. They rushed to Wang Wendu's troops without fear of death.

All of a sudden, the armored cavalry went deep into the enemy's line, and the rear was cut off by the Goguryeo army, but Wang Wendu, who came to meet him, was about to be held back by the Goguryeo army...
