Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 596 Death Knight (Eighth!)
Under Yanmen City.

The Turkic people fired ten thousand arrows, and the rain of arrows fell overwhelmingly, completely covering a city wall several miles long.

Under the violent arrow rain, countless Turkic people carried simple wooden ladders and pushed the ladder carts, and began to advance towards the high Yanmen city wall.

rear.

The golden wolf banner stands tall, the drums of war are like thunder, and the horns are constantly trumpeting.

It's been five days.

The Sui army in the city was already exhausted, and the Turkic people felt that they could break through Yanmen City with more effort.

At this time.

The city gate flung open.

Shibi stood up all of a sudden, like this every time, when the critical moment came, the Sui army would come out of the city.The previous few times were when the attack was at its most intense, and seeing that the soldiers were about to go to the city, the Sui army came out of the city at this time.

But today, the Sui army came out very early.

Before the ladders on this side reached the city, the Sui army had already rushed out.

"Move lightly and ride up, surround and kill this Sui army!"

Shibi gritted his teeth, every time the Sui army used this method of going out of the city to sabotage his offensive, Shibi made special preparations today, he wanted to make these Sui troops never come back, so that they would not dare to come out of the city again .

The horn sounded and the wolf flag waved.

An elite Turkic army, attached to the wolf cavalry, appeared.

And in front of the city gate.

Those Turkic people who rushed to the front still rushed towards the city gate instinctively. It was like this every time. As soon as the city gate was opened, the Turkic people would rush into the city.

Completely ignoring the dense armored cavalry behind the city gate.

Someone shouted, someone yelled.

They all wanted to be the first to enter the city. Although the Turks did not have the credit for being the first to climb and fall into the battle, the first to enter the city could get more spoils of war.

"Long live Da Sui!"

59-year-old Wang Rengong put down his mask, flattened his horse, and shouted loudly.

Liu Wuzhou and Yu Chigong, who were like steel black bears, also roared in unison.

"Da Sui, long live!"

Shouts sounded one after another.

Accompanied by this battle cry.

Two thousand mounted cavalry rolled out of the city like a torrent of steel.

After five days of bloody battle, countless knights fell.

But they are still not afraid of death.

The two thousand heavy cavalry consisting of the frontier cavalry from the Yanmen Dudufu and the royal heavy cavalry from the Xiaoguo Guards, both men and horses are armored.

During the Han and Wei dynasties, there were very few heavily armored cavalry.

In the early days of the cavalry, because there were no stirrups, the cavalry was not the main force on the battlefield. They only took on tasks such as scouting and liaison. Later, they developed into mounted infantry.Riding maneuvers, dismounting and fighting, and later, mounted archers.

Until the stirrups were perfected and the saddles were continuously strengthened, the peoples on the grasslands became powerful cavalry warriors.

The Han Dynasty has always been harassed by these cavalry, and although the Han Dynasty also trained cavalry, the cavalry was not as good as the grassland cavalry, until Wei Qing and the others changed the cavalry from the cavalry to the assault cavalry, equipped the cavalry with spears, and used the assault cavalry. The battle method of the formation made the Han army defeat the Huns again and again.

After all, the Han Dynasty was technologically advanced at that time, and the weapons and armor of the Han army far surpassed that of the Huns. When they gave up riding and shooting, which was a way of riding and shooting to attack the enemy with their own strengths, the Huns suffered a tragedy. up.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were more melees in the Central Plains, and the technology and financial resources of all parties were not weak, so the armor was strengthened again, and then there were blunt weapons such as horses and whips that were stronger for armor-piercing. Then came the armored riding gear.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, especially in the north, every family had heavy cavalry.

There are even tens of thousands of heavy cavalry for the tough ones. The impact of these heavy armored cavalry is unquestionable, especially when dealing with infantry, it is simply unstoppable.

The impact of armored cavalry can often defeat opponents ten times their own.

But in the south, often one or two hundred heavy cavalry can defeat thousands of soldiers and horses.

As a result, in the Southern Dynasties, even armored cavalry were often used as armored cavalry, that is, armored cavalry was made of leather or cloth to equip light cavalry, disguised as heavy cavalry, but mixed with the army, it often frightened the enemy.

The Turkic people don't have any heavy cavalry, they still advocate riding and shooting, and the Turkic people are almost all bow and light cavalry.

Riding and archery is their natural skill, but the cost of armored riding is too high, and it is not easily afforded by the grassland tribesmen who herd sheep and raise horses.

The two thousand armored cavalry were all wearing black Mingguang armor, which was specially made and thickened, and their entire bodies were protected by iron armor. They filed out of the city with a forest of black lacquered horses on their shoulders.

Then quickly arrayed outside the city.

The heavy cavalry formed a long horizontal formation, each row was more than ten steps apart.

Wang Rengong didn't line up front arrows, they were heavy cavalry, and each heavy cavalry was a sharp knife, sweeping across, the attack area was larger, and the lethality was even more astonishing, because no one could block their impact.

The sky grew darker.

The red plumes on the black iron helmets of the heavy cavalry were so dazzling.

The silver iron coils on the black lacquered spear also gleamed.

Wang Rengong rode his horse at the front of the queue, and the veteran led the charge himself.

"For Tai Sui!"

Two thousand armored horses galloped up, including men, horses and armored weapons, weighing more than a thousand catties. Tens of thousands of horseshoes stepped on the ground, causing the ground to shake.

Standing in front of them were ants-like Turkic people along the Yanmen city wall.

Under the several-kilometer-long city, there are Turkic people everywhere. They are carrying ladders, pushing ladders, and pushing battering rams, and they are still struggling to move forward.

When they felt the huge shock, the armored cavalry had already swept in like a black storm.

Armored cavalry is also called armored horse warrior or armored cavalry. They have both the strongest impact and the strongest defense. Therefore, every armored cavalry is defiant and ignores everything when charging.

People block and kill, gods block and kill gods!

The ground trembled violently, and the sound of horseshoes thundered like thunder.

Rows of armored cavalry galloped forward, bringing up dust soaring into the sky.

Those ants-like Turkic people almost didn't even have the chance to line up, and they were blown up and trampled by the torrent of steel, as if they were as vulnerable as paper.

The Turkic soldiers in the distance shouted in panic.

Some generals tried to let these tribal warriors who abandoned their horses attack the city line up to meet the enemy, but they only had bows and knives, and few spears. With their flesh and blood, how could they fight against the rolling iron tide?
Shibi Khan kept staring at this side.

His eyelids fluttered.

"Take a bow and shoot them to death, let the attached wolf ride shoot them from behind!"

The elite attached wolf cavalry charged out on horseback. Instead of confronting the armored cavalry head-on, they appeared behind the heavy cavalry. This is also the tactic of wolves on the grassland, ****.

Holding the silver wolf's head flag, Lilang galloped on his horse, but the two thousand heavy cavalry from the Sui army ignored them and just rushed forward.

Yu Chigong's Ma Leng didn't remember how many Turkic soldiers he had pierced and killed. When he hit the back, even Ma Leng fell. He pulled out a nine-section steel whip and smashed left and right, still unstoppable.

"Kill kill kill!"

Once the heavy cavalry charged, they only saw the enemies blocking the way and nothing else.

Kill me!

Countless arrows were shot, but most of them were blocked by the armor and cloak of the heavy cavalry. A few arrows pierced the outer iron armor, but there was a leather lining inside.

Both men and horses are armored.

Defend most of the arrows.

In the eyes of the Turks, these people are simply unkillable monsters.

But these knights have long chained themselves and their horses together with iron chains. Even if they are shot to death, they will not fall off their horses. The horses will still carry them and continue to charge with the team until they are exhausted.

Unless the horses fell to the ground, these knights were as if they were immortal, charging continuously.

Even if a death knight is carried on the back of a war horse, if it hits with a huge impact, it can still hit and trample the Turkic people to death.
