The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 435 Youyan has many strong men ([-])
Thanks to the advantages of local horse breeds, the nomadic peoples of Central Asia in the eighth century BC were the first to develop heavy cavalry with knights and horses fully armored.Later, due to the great destructiveness of this ancient tank, it was able to spread rapidly.

Specifically for China, the first glorious period of heavy cavalry equipped with armored cavalry was in the era of the Sixteen Kingdoms and the Southern and Northern Dynasties.In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the heavy cavalry under the command of Luo Yi and Li Shimin repeatedly staged classic battles where thousands and tens of thousands were defeated.

However, the heavy cavalry that Jiang Wei released at this time were not strictly armored cavalry.

The so-called typical armor riding equipment is covered with chain armor: a considerable part of the iron plates overlap with each other, and there are cowhide bands or wire links and reinforcements between the iron plates.The same is true of horse armor.This results in a huge waste of weight.

Thanks to the cooperation between the traversers and the best scientists of this era, Ji Han at this time has mastered the production technology of plate armor.Because the plate armor is not connected by many iron pieces like the chain armor, but a few large pieces directly.Therefore, under the premise of covering the same body area, plate armor is much lighter than chain armor!Moreover, unlike the chain armor, which is one or several pieces of iron to deal with the opponent's attack, the plate armor is a whole steel plate to deal with the opponent's attack.Therefore, while being lighter, the protection of the plate armor is also higher!
Therefore, the two thousand cavalry sent out by Jiang Wei were not equipped with armored riding equipment, but plate armored equipment!

Moreover, this is a plate armored heavy cavalry who has a clear advantage over the opponent in terms of horse breed!

"This! What kind of armor is this? What a majestic horse is this?!"

When the front wings of the cavalry formation of the Han army spread out left and right, revealing the fangs that had been hidden all along.After Meng Guan's brief astonishment, the next emotion was full of despair.

At this time, the [-] cavalry of the Jin army had all let go of the speed of their horses and started running fully. It was impossible to stop at this time.Moreover, the distance between the two sides was already very close, and Meng Guan, who was charging ahead, had no room to take the team away in another direction.

The only thing that can be done is to bite the bullet and rush forward!
Although desperate, he was a good general for a while.Seeing the huge figure of the opposing cavalry getting closer, Meng Guan clenched his right hand, and stabbed forward firmly with the horse in his hand, towards an oncoming knight.

The cavalry on the opposite side was Hedram, a Persian naturalized into Han.Seeing the horse lance in the enemy's hand roaring towards him, he slightly turned his body to the left on the horse's back.

But what surprised him was that the horse lance, which was supposed to be able to escape smoothly in the original plan, suddenly became longer for some reason, and the tip of the lance actually pierced the plate armor on his abdomen.

He was surprised, and Meng Guan was even more surprised: I aimed at the opponent's chest, why did I stab the abdomen?Moreover, after the tip of the spear touched the opponent's armor, it didn't break through the armor immediately, but slipped away?
Yes, slip away.After Meng Guan's horse came into contact with Hedrum's plate armor, because the defensive power of the plate armor was significantly stronger than that of the chain armor, Meng Guan's previous strength could not break through the armor.Also because of the opponent's sideways movement, the tip of the spear slid along the width of the plate armor itself.

The sharp point of the lance drew a streak of sparks on Hedram's plate armor, accompanied by a tooth-stinging rubbing sound.But that's all.

However, before Meng Guan had time to feel sorry, he just felt a hurricane blowing above his head.He instinctively threw his head back quickly.In an instant, a cold light swept past his nose, and after that, he only felt his scalp shudder: it was his helmet that was swept away by the other party.

On the battlefield, tens of thousands of cavalry from both sides confronted each other. Therefore, the confrontation between Meng Guan and Hedram was only for a moment.After that, with regret on one side and luck on the other side, they continued to charge forward, thus keeping away from the opponent.

Having lost his helmet, Meng Guan, who was sitting upright on his horse again, hadn't completely recovered his emotions.I heard a scream from behind myself, this voice is so familiar, it is clear that my flag officer has been recruited!

Speaking of which, in the two confrontations with the Wenyang team, Meng Guan's flag officer has changed three. This position is really more dangerous than the commander.

It was too late to look back, because another cavalryman in plate armor riding a tall horse came roaring towards him, brandishing a saber.

Dodging nimbly, swiftly striking out, stabbing the opponent in the same way.But what drove Meng Guan crazy was that he still couldn't break his armor!The opponent also made a sideways movement on the horse's back, and the tip of the spear slid away weakly again!
There was no time to think, and no time to make any new instructions.Although there are familiar screams one after another in my ears, I also know that the soldiers behind me have suffered heavy casualties.But the plate armored cavalry on the opposite side continued to howl, and Uncle Meng could only concentrate temporarily and try his best to face the next opponent.

Meng Guan, who is extremely outstanding in personal martial arts, is already exhausted. The ordinary soldiers behind him are really in a bad situation.

When the horses collide, the unarmored horses on the side are often knocked to pieces.After the long spear stabbed out, because it was obviously much shorter than the opponent, it was just that it couldn't hit the vital parts.The key is that even if it is stabbed, it cannot effectively penetrate the armor.On the contrary, when the other party condescendingly slashes and slashes, there will often be a head flying high...

As soon as the two sides came into contact, without any suspense, the heavy cavalry of the Han army dealt a devastating blow to the light cavalry of the Jin army.The battle loss ratio of both sides is astonishingly high!
The horses neighed, the soldiers roared, and in the chaotic battle formation, the heavy cavalry led by Hedram quickly pierced through the Jin army's formation almost without hindrance.Wherever they passed along the way, there were blood and broken arms and limbs of Jin army cavalry everywhere.

"Woo~~" The enemy's 2000 heavy cavalry is not too many, so the opponent pierced through our side, and our side finally survived the killing of the opponent.Meng Guan, who rushed to the front of the Dazhai of the Han army, was finally able to look back at his troops at this time.It doesn't matter if you look at it, Uncle Meng only feels that his eyes are hot, if he doesn't know that the remaining soldiers are still counting on his commander, he really wants to get off his horse and cry with his head in his arms!

It is too miserable!In this round of hedging, the two wings facing the opponent's light cavalry troops are fine.The soldiers who followed him all the way in the middle were really out of ten!Meng Guan roughly calculated that in this round of hedging, at least five thousand soldiers on his side would be defeated!The big formation, which was fairly thick before, now seemed thinner than ever before.

This is the most outstanding, most resolute, and brave You Yan boy in recent battles!

"My crime is serious!" Before this battle, thanks to the home game, the convenience of rich sources of intelligence.In fact, Meng Guan had already received a report from some Malaysians in the opposing team.But when Uncle Meng, who had never seen a Central Asian Dama, habitually imagined this so-called Dama as a Xianbei Dama.In his opinion, the best horses in the hands of the Xianbei people are indeed a little taller than the average horses of their side, but they will definitely not be much worse.So he ignored this information.Now it seems that this kind of neglect is fatal!
"Emissary, the matter is urgent. Please choose the opportunity to withdraw when you charge next time! Your subordinates should wait for the envoy to decide!"

"What's the point! So many Youyan disciples were brought out by me. Letting most of them lose here is already a great crime. How can I have the face to abandon you and escape alone?"

"Master, you must escape and spread the news about the heavy armored horses of the Shu thieves here! In this way, our Youyan son will not die unjustly in the next battle. If Mr. Shi dies here, Even if we escape, will others believe what we say?"

"Yes, envoy. If the envoy hadn't asked me to join the guard team (smuggling team) in the past, I would have starved to death in the next family. At this time, let me give my life back to the envoy!"

"Guan... I am ashamed of all the soldiers!"

"Stop talking, the Shu thief is rushing over again!"

"Hahaha~~ Brothers, charge! Let the mountain monkeys in Yizhou see the ambition of our Youyan man!"

"The wind is rustling, the water is cold~~, the strong man is gone~~~"

"No return!!!"

After Youyan veterans spontaneously organized, Meng Guan and his personal guards were squeezed to the flanks in a half-push.

"My lord, let's go, don't let the brothers die in vain!"

"Okay, brothers, after the confrontation begins, let's charge south first. After the two sides complete the penetration again, don't look back, and immediately turn to the southwest!"
