Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2757 The Death of Kublai Khan
"Huo Qubing, prepare to die!"

"If you want to come forward, you'll have to get past me first!"

While Kublai Khan and his men were fleeing separately, Narendra, along with two hundred hastily assembled Khan's personal guards, resolutely stood in front of the charging cavalry, trying to buy Kublai Khan some time.

"Ignore him, just charge!"

"Crush him into a pile of minced meat!" Huo Qubing said without even looking at him.

To dare to stand in front of three thousand iron cavalry with such a small number of men is simply out of their mind!

Moreover, at a time like this, how could Huo Qubing possibly waste his time here for such a small group of people!
Let alone a mere personal guard general of a Yuan Mongol emperor, even if top Yuan Mongol generals like Murong Chui or Jebe appeared here, it wouldn't be worth Huo Qubing wasting his precious time here for them.

Even the most valuable enemies are relative. Compared to Kublai Khan, everyone else in the Yuan Dynasty pales in comparison.

"Crash it over!"

Huo Qubing didn't stop at all and led his three thousand Black Riders straight in a dark mass, charging forward. Let's see if these people can survive this wave of impact!

Rumble!
Three thousand iron cavalry, and three thousand armored iron cavalry at that, truly like tanks in the era of cold weapons.

Even within the Jin army, heavy cavalry constituted only a small proportion.

Currently, although the local garrison forces in the Great Jin army also have a considerable proportion of cavalry, they are all light cavalry.

On this point, the local garrison troops of both the southern and northern prefectures are the same.

The Central Plains Army and the Southwest Army, both located south of the Yellow River, also only had light cavalry and no heavy cavalry.

The Nanjing imperial court's central guard included a portion of heavy cavalry, but out of ten cavalry corps, only two were heavy cavalry.

In other words, out of the hundreds of thousands of troops south of the Yellow River, only three thousand were heavy cavalry.

All of the heavy cavalry legions of the Great Jin Dynasty were concentrated in the three major northern camps north of the Yellow River and in the central imperial guards of the Luoyang court.

With the addition of the three major northern camps and the central imperial guards of the Luoyang court, the total number of cavalry has reached a staggering 350,000 after years of continuous adjustments to the ratio of infantry to cavalry.

The number of cavalry in these four battalions is almost catching up with the number of infantry.

It should be noted that the total number of the three major northern camps plus the central imperial guards of the Luoyang court was only 800,000.

Of these 350,000 cavalrymen, only 50,000 were heavy cavalry.

Of course, this does not include elite units such as the Golden Fire Cavalry and Li Cunxiao's Flying Tiger Battalion.

Of the 50,000 heavy cavalry, only one-fifth were heavily armored cavalry.

Armored cavalry, the heaviest of the heavy cavalry, where both rider and horse are clad in armor, places extremely high demands on the quality of their warhorses.

Most importantly, it takes a skilled craftsman almost a year to make one such suit of armor.

Heavy cavalry like these require time to develop and accumulate.

What the Great Jin Dynasty lacks is not people, but time!

The Great Jin Dynasty is vast and rich in resources, but it's impossible to use all of them to fight against heavy cavalry! Infantry also need heavy armor, and those elite battalions need excellent equipment.

The Central Imperial Guard also requires significant investment to ensure that the soldiers have the highest armor coverage rate in the entire army.

After all, if the central army is not strong and does not have the ability to suppress the local forces, it is absolutely a path to disaster!
Throughout history, when local power has expanded to the point that the central government can no longer control it, how many dynasties have fared well?

It was precisely because of this that they obtained the equipment of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, which Li Shimin had accumulated over more than ten years, on the battlefield of the Tang Dynasty, which meant that the Great Jin Dynasty could obtain another elite heavy cavalry force in a short period of time.

By eliminating Shi Le's Black Spear Dragon Cavalry, which he had built up over a decade by selling off his possessions, Wei Qing was able to directly give their Jin army an additional three thousand armored cavalry.

Armored cavalry was an absolute deterrent in the era of cold weapons.

Even the Kheshig, the elite force of the Yuan Dynasty, was a heavy cavalry unit, but it was not fully armored; only the riders wore armor, while the horses did not.

Although the Yuan Dynasty was powerful and wealthy, the problem was that its operations were also very large. Moreover, apart from a few from the Murong family, most of the Yuan Dynasty's generals did not like the toy-like heavy cavalry tactics.

Rumble!
Under the charge of three thousand heavily armored cavalry, the two hundred knights who followed Naren Spy were all turned into a pile of minced meat. Only the peerless Naren Spy lasted a little longer.

His pair of hammers are indeed a deterrent to heavily armored units.

Heavy units fear nothing but these kinds of heavy weapons. Spears won't kill them, but a single blow from a hammer or club like this will take their lives.

With those twin hammers, he blasted more than twenty heavily armored knights off their horses, but that was all.

As Huang Tianxiang charged past him, Huang Tianhua on the other side immediately threw a fire dragon spear at him.

Although the fire dragon spear did not kill him instantly, it distracted him. As he parried, heavily armored cavalrymen, surging like a tidal wave, crashed into his warhorse one after another, knocking him off.

Under the charge of thousands of armored cavalry, even a peerless general like him, once knocked off his horse, could only end up as a pile of minced meat.

However, even Huo Qubing did not waste a moment. By the time he rushed to Kublai Khan's tent, it was already empty.

"General Huo!"

"Command arrows have sounded from both the east and west!" Huang Feihu pointed to the alert issued by the scouts in the sky.

In such a large-scale war, the number of scouts released by both sides around the battlefield is in the thousands. They are also constantly clashing, and it is even more brutal, with scouts from both sides dying every moment.

These scouts are the eyes of both sides' generals, keeping track of the battlefield situation.

Since Huo Qubing had come to storm the camp, there would naturally be no shortage of Jin army scouts around Kublai Khan's camp.

When Kublai Khan fled, he would immediately send a signal to alert the scouts who were patrolling outside.

"General Huang, let's split up and pursue them separately!"

"We must kill Kublai Khan and achieve this unparalleled feat!"

Kublai Khan's trail was discovered in both directions. Huo Qubing was unable to determine the truth of the matter in a short time and could only pursue him separately.

"Go first!"

The thought of being able to kill Kublai Khan also filled Huang Feihu with excitement.
