Late Tang

(Thanks to superstar Xiaobuzhen, Mengmengmengmeng, Lin Biao here, Qiang 5 for your support, thank you all, please praise!)

Guo Wei roared, and all the hundred people charged bravely.

During the scuffle, he caught a glimpse of the new mount of Qiu Shengong, the leader of the Leopard Cavalry Army who had just snatched a horse, fell to the ground and died, but he jumped away. two halves.The new recruit who was recruited in Songcheng had just stabbed a Huai army to death with an eight-foot spear. The first time he killed him, he was stunned for a moment. Just at this moment, he was nailed to death by a Huai army officer on the spear.The leader of the team behind him roared and threw the spear in his hand directly, and nailed it into the chest of the Huai army officer, avenging his brother.

At this time, a rain of arrows fell on their heads, and it was unknown from which side they shot.Guo Wei couldn't say for certain, but fortunately, the Qin army all wore pot-shaped steel helmets and half armor, so the rain of arrows didn't do much harm to them.Guo Wei raised his shield with a sound, and the Qin soldiers around him raised their round shields and hid below, avoiding the rain of arrows.

Under the impact of a battalion of cavalry led by Qiu Shengong, the gaps in the formation of the Huai army became wider and wider, and finally turned into countless breaches.

The hedgehog spear array gradually collapsed, and the Huai army couldn't stop the Qin army's fierce cavalry attack, and began to retreat one after another.

Guo Wei saw that one of the Huai soldiers ran a bit slower and left the team. Frightened and frantic, he turned around and rushed towards Qiu Shengong.Before he could rush over, Guo Wei, standing in front of him, had already swung the Xun Dao, and the tomahawk-like head of the Xun Dao hit his chest, piercing through the armor, leather, muscles, breastbone, and lungs, killing him instantly.

The blade got stuck in that Huai army's chest, and several more Huai soldiers rushed over.Guo Wei took off a double-edged battle ax on his back, swung his left hand fiercely, and split the swallowtail badge of the Huai army in the front in half, and the man flew backwards.

The saber in his right hand was finally pulled out. Guo Wei's left tomahawk and his right saber collided with each other, his whole body drenched in blood, and let out a frightening cry.

At this time, Qiu Shengong changed his horse and killed them, and those Huai soldiers immediately died under his sword.

On the high slope, Li Jing was far away from the entire battlefield. Under the morning light and mist, the densely packed Qin and Huai armies were fighting on the front line of the plain along the river for more than ten miles.However, it can be clearly seen that after the wave of the Huai army hit the Qin army's line, it was broken and then rolled back.The formation was no longer strong and began to become disorganized.

"Your Highness, do you want the cavalry to attack?" Liu Xun, the leader of the Shengjie Army, asked beside him.

Let the cavalry attack, that is, let the black flag army and feather cavalry army on the left attack.Li Jing also couldn't help but think of the rumor in the army that once the Black Banner Army is allowed to attack, it means that there will be no changes in the battle.

However, the current situation can indeed dispatch heavy cavalry to deal a fatal blow to the Huai army that is about to be defeated.

Li Jing nodded, "Let Li Cunxiao lead the black flag heavy cavalry to attack, defeat the enemy's formation, and block the Huai army's attempt to reorganize the formation. Let Wang Yanzhang wait."

"Woooooooooooo!" The horn blew quickly.

Li Jing's messengers rode horses with command flags on their backs, and quickly arrived at the left-wing position to deliver the latest battle orders.

"The King of Qin ordered Li Cunxiao to lead the Black Banner Army to attack immediately!"

Li Cunxiao, who was wearing heavy armor and sat on the ground with his eyes closed, immediately jumped up, very excited. "Black Banner Heavy Cavalry, mount your horse immediately!"

Wang Yanzhang walked over with two iron spears in his hands, "What about our feather cavalry?"

Li Cunxiao laughed loudly: "Second Brother, our Black Banner Army will go up first, and after we defeat the Huai Army, you will come up and clean up the battlefield."

The messenger cavalry said with a blank expression: "The King of Qin ordered General Wang to lead the feathered cavalry to stay where they were."

The other [-] light cavalry of the Black Banner Army were also on standby this time, and together they helped the heavy cavalry assemble their vests.

Although the 10 heavy cavalry looks like a small number on the battlefield of more than [-] people, this is an ace force, and once it goes out, it will launch a fatal blow.

Two thousand black-flag heavy cavalry with black horses, black armor, black robes, black armor, black helmets and black flags stand like steel hills.

The breeze blows with drizzle, and the black flag flutters!

Li Cunxiao danced the iron spear in his hand, the cowhide war drum behind him was beating like thunder, and the horn of charging was rapid and long!

Two thousand heavy cavalry were arranged in frontal formation, Li Cunxiao took the lead, and behind him was his flag officer holding high the black banner.

Tigers with two thousand black flags came down the mountain, and dragons went out to sea. They put down their armors one after another, and carried their horses. With the sound of rumbling iron hooves, like a sharp sword, they stabbed straight at the Huai army from the left wing.

The wind is howling, the horses are neighing, and the ground is shaking underfoot.

The two thousand heavy cavalry ran faster and faster, and finally, like an arrow leaving the string, they rushed straight towards the Huai army unstoppably.

"Form an formation, block them!" Gao Yu, who was trying to retreat and rearrange before organizing a charge, could not help trembling when he saw the chilling black cavalry.He saw it, and also thought, this cavalry should be Li Jing's treasure, the heavy cavalry black flag army accumulated with countless money.This cavalry seldom takes to the battlefield, but every time it is dispatched, it will end the opponent.

Why did he not expect that Li Jing transferred the heavy cavalry to Huainan.Huainan is not suitable for cavalry combat, let alone heavy cavalry combat.

But at this time, here, it is an open plain on the river bank.

Yu Gongchu, Yao Guili and other generals of the Huai army also knew how hard the cavalry was attacking, let alone the opponent was a heavy cavalry.At this time, no one dared to continue to retreat. Facing the heavy cavalry, even though they knew that a frontal confrontation would be a narrow escape, but if they ran away, they would die faster.If the entire army formation is broken by heavy cavalry, there will be no room for resistance.

"Spear Array"

"Shield Array"

The ground trembled under my feet, and the black banner was getting closer!

The Huai army is worthy of being the army brought up by Gao Pian when he fought north and south. Although many soldiers in this army are recruited from Huainan, most of the officers in it are veterans who followed Gao Pian.They have defeated the Dangxiang cavalry, defeated the Nanman army, defeated the rebellious grass bandit army, and fought many kinds of battles. Although they were shocked at this time, they still quickly lined up on the spot under the order after order.

Rows of iron shields were set up, and the tails of countless spears were pierced into the ground, and the tips of the spears pointed at the sky with a shining cold light.

The infantrymen of the Huai army knelt on the ground with one foot, half squatted with the other, and clenched their spears tightly with both hands.Row after row of infantry raised their spears obliquely, and in a blink of an eye, the Huai Army had already formed countless square formations of iron spikes.

Facing the armored cavalry, Gao Yu's scalp tingled.The heavy cavalry should have withdrawn from the stage of history long ago, but Li Jing spent money to accumulate two thousand cavalry.Speaking of which, Li Jing spent countless money to get this heavy equipment, selected the most elite cavalry, used the best horses, and received the best treatment, but there were only a handful of battles to fight.If it were in other feudal towns, who would raise such a seemingly incomparably majestic, but rarely used, super expensive army?

No feudal town in the world has such heavy equipment, even if there is, it is only a few dozen or a hundred.He will never be like Li Jing, who has a full two thousand horses in heavy equipment.

But at this time, when Li Jing's heavy cavalry attacked, Gao Yu had to admit that the attack of [-] heavy cavalry was even more effective than [-] or even [-] light cavalry.

Although light cavalry is strong, infantry is not invincible.

But as soon as the heavy cavalry came out, the Huai army had no means of restraint.To deal with heavy cavalry, light cavalry should be the best opponents. Sports blocking heavy cavalry, fight for endurance, use cavalry to shoot, the first one to fail will be the heavy cavalry.

But at the moment, although Gao Yu has a light cavalry, the number is too small. As long as the Qin army's heavy cavalry rushes straight to the infantry and ignores the Qing cavalry, he is still helpless.It is also a helpless move to set up a spear array to deal with Qingqi.

Gao Yu knew that he had lost this time, and his defeat was crushing.If I had known today, I would have stayed in Huaiyin, fought against the raiding Qin army, and taken back the camp.

It's just that it's too late now, step by step, he has completely fallen into Li Jing's calculations.

The heavy cavalry was getting closer and closer, so close that you could already see those cavalry with their faces covered, like tin cans one by one.He couldn't see the opponent's face, all he could see was the pitch-black full body armor, and even the war horse was shrouded in the iron armor.It made the entire cavalry look like ghost riders from the Underworld emerging from the Netherworld, which made people feel chills.

"Fire the arrow!" Yu Gongchu roared loudly, and a horn sounded from behind.

Immediately, the archers who were protected in the middle of the spear array opened their bows and fired arrows one by one, desperately shooting at the galloping black knight.

Arrows rained down, but the cavalry on the opposite side ignored them at all. The arrow rain fell on the heads of the heavy cavalry, and there was a jingling sound. Most of them failed to break through the armor, leaving a white spot on the armor. After being imprinted, it slipped to the ground, and a few got into the joints of the armor, but there was still a silk battle robe and a cable armor inside, and there were no arrows that could penetrate these three layers.

Facing the rain of arrows like this, the heavy cavalry slammed straight into the infantry formation from the left without reducing their speed by half.

Although there were countless spikes of spears in front of them, the heavy cavalry was not afraid at all, and rode their horses straight into them.

There were piercing sounds when the steel plate and the iron spear collided. Countless spears could not bear the weight of more than 1000 kilograms of the heavy knight with horse and horse armor, and they bent and broke one after another.Then the iron horse stepped directly into the infantry formation with an unstoppable momentum.

The heavy cavalry crashed into the formation with a huge impact, and the Huai army infantry in the formation was trampled by the heavy cavalry's iron hooves, who were injured when they touched it, and died when they stepped on it.

The heavy cavalry behind continued to attack, like mountain peaks colliding with the formation above.

Like a landslide, like a tsunami, like an earthquake, like the end of the world.

Although many heavy cavalry were killed in battle under the obstruction of countless spear forests, even if each heavy cavalry died, it could directly destroy half of the phalanx.

Standing on the high slope, Li Jing watched as the steel hedgehog formations of the Huai army continued to break and collapse under the impact of two thousand heavy cavalry.In such field battles, especially in ambush battles, the Huai army had no ditches, no deer feet, no barbed wire, no repelling horses, no walls, no catapults, and heavy crossbows, so the heavy cavalry at this time Almost invincible.

Injured when touched, killed when hit, two thousand cavalry faced tens of thousands of Huai army, it was like going deep into the land of no one, colliding vigorously and crushing.

Then one by one the infantry formations cried, surrendered, and fell under their iron hooves...

Li Jing has been watching quietly, until the heavy cavalry hit for less than half an hour, completely crushing the Huai army's infantry formation, and after the Huai army began to break up and flee, he nodded in satisfaction, "The endurance of the heavy cavalry is almost Call them back, and send Wang Yanzhang to lead the feather cavalry and the black flag with a total of [-] light cavalry to attack."

The heavy cavalry is like a heavy hammer. No matter how strong the phalanx is, it cannot withstand his hammer and will definitely be broken.But heavy cavalry is strong in explosiveness, but lacks stamina.They can break the formation, but it is difficult to wipe out the enemy.Heavy cavalry cannot fight alone, and must have light cavalry to fight in relay, sweeping up and chasing down the enemy.

"The Huai Army is nothing more than that." Liu Xun couldn't help chuckling when he saw the Huai Army retreating like a tide.

Li Jing smiled. In war, hardware is very important. Well-trained soldiers and sophisticated equipment are needed, but software is also very important. Tactics are very important. It is not impossible to win more with less, and defeat the strong with the weak.The Huai Army's background is still good, but in this battle, they were defeated in a tactical contest and completely fell into Li Jing's calculations. How could they be undefeated?

"Seamaster, you can accept it." Li Jing breathed out, the victory of this battle is at hand.

At this time, the wind stopped and the rain stopped, and a rainbow appeared in the sky. (To be continued.)
