After the crossbowmen phalanx passes, what will appear naturally is the ace unit of cold weapons - the cavalry!
The first to appear were the cavalry troops from the Tatars. Most of them were naturalized Tatars from Yunzhou County. They shouted in half-baked Song dialect and shouted "Long live King Yun" before rushing past the viewing platform. forward.
Feeling the meaningful look in his old man's eyes, Zhao Jun couldn't help but cough, but didn't say anything more.
Compared to the Tatar cavalry who were just going through the motions, the Yunzhou County Qingqi who appeared immediately gave everyone a silent shock.
If a person wants to train him uniformly, he can do so as long as he is willing to put in the effort.
However, a total of 350 war horses marched forward in order like humans. One can imagine the difficulty of this.
The Yunzhou County light cavalry, wearing black light armor, walked slowly when they first appeared, but their speed became faster and faster.
Arriving less than two miles away from the viewing platform, the commander shouted: "Everyone has it! Charge!"
"kill!!!!"
Three hundred and fifty light cavalry launched a charge. During the charge, the entire cavalry formation kept changing, showing everyone their superb skills and excellent ability to change formations. The soldiers on the war horses were even more uniform. They performed some combat moves on horseback, all showing their combat effectiveness to everyone.
Everyone watching this operation exclaimed, no matter it was the Tatar envoys from each tribe, even Zhao Duan nodded after seeing it: "Not bad! You light cavalry are definitely among the best in the world, this kind of change of formation With such a level, even the most elite royal guards of the Xiongnu could not fall behind, let alone the light armor on their bodies, they are all iron, right?"
Zhao Jun nodded: "Yes, they are all made of iron, but for the sake of lightness, the iron is not thick."
"That's much better than leather armor and cloth armor." Zhao Duan said.
"That's true."
Zhao Jun nodded in agreement.
After the process of exclaiming, the light cavalry gradually moved away with vigorous steps.
And it’s finally time for the finale of today’s military parade to take the stage.
Amid everyone's expectations, they suddenly felt the ground begin to vibrate slightly.
There was also a dull sound of clashing armors at the end of the parade road. When everyone looked at it, they suddenly saw a group of tin cans at the end of their sight!
That's right, it's an iron can. The whole body is covered by thick iron armor. It is marching forward in a neat pace, leading a war horse also wearing heavy armor.
When they arrived three miles away from the viewing platform, these heavily armored soldiers mounted their war horses with the help of their assistants.
Following the order from the tall commander in the lead.
"Heavy cavalry phalanx! Charge the formation!"
Boom!
A total of 352 heavy cavalry began to charge.
They formed an arrow formation, using the two leading commanders as the arrow tips and began to gradually speed up!
When the speed increased to the extreme, the ground around them was shaking as they ran!
An overwhelming momentum came out from the charge formation composed of 352 heavy cavalry. Everywhere they passed, the faces of those watching the ceremony turned pale, and even the wind blew with terrifying power!
It wasn't until the charging heavy cavalry entered within one mile of the viewing platform that the charging heavy cavalry finally slowly slowed down. Finally, with the deputy commander's order in front of the viewing platform, the entire team stopped in an instant.
After another normal interaction, the road ahead was now filled with various obstacles.
There are horses, scarecrows, and all kinds of miscellaneous things.
However, in the face of these obstacles, the heavy cavalry soldiers who had just completed the military salute with Zhao Jun did not even change their expressions. They followed the commander's order and turned their heads to look ahead with indifferent expressions.
"Heavy cavalry, charge!"
As the charge horn sounded, the 352 heavy cavalrymen were like an armored train passing ruthlessly from the front. The things behind them that had been used as roadblocks just now were only left on the ground. Pieces, the kind that cannot be put back together.
"hiss!"
"hiss!"
"hiss!"
×n
…
Regardless of any of the previous arms, they were far less shocking than the heavy cavalry. They could even imagine how they would respond if their own people faced such an army. Everyone had no idea in their hearts. At the bottom, he looked solemnly at the heavy cavalry who were gradually retreating.
"How many more troops like this do you have?"
Zhao Duan asked with a solemn expression.
Zhao Jun shook his head slightly: "Father, you have also seen that he is wearing heavy armor. Not only are they even wearing armor on their horses, we will not talk about the consumption of these Zhao armors, they can carry them A war horse that can carry such a weight and launch a charge is an astronomical sum of money, and even if you have money, you can't buy it.
Therefore, even if I am Erchen, there are not many such heavy armored cavalry. Every heavy armored cavalry is Erchen’s treasure! "
Zhao Duan nodded. He understood what Zhao Jun said. What he knew even more was that the difficulties faced by a heavy armored cavalry were not limited to this.
War horses need to be selected from the best, but don’t people need them?
That armor weighs about fifty pounds at least, plus the weapons and the strength to swing the weapons in a charge. How many people can meet the selection conditions for heavy armored cavalry?
This is why even with the national power of the Song Dynasty, even at its peak, it only had one heavy armored cavalry of about 2,000 people in the Longxiang Army - the Jingsai Cavalry Battalion!
However, now, the Jingsai Cavalry Camp has long become a thing of the past and no longer exists. The Song Dynasty court can no longer afford to support it.
The materials required for such a heavy armored cavalry are astronomical.
Even the Emperor Taizong in the Pre-Tang Dynasty only had about 3,000 Xuanjia troops in his hands. But even with these 3,000 people, any Emperor Taizong dared to directly attack an army of 100,000 people and win in the end. .
This shows how powerful the terrifying combat effectiveness of the heavy armored cavalry is!
Unexpectedly, I would see such an army again today, and it was still in the hands of my sixth son.
No matter how much this old man has in his hands, even if it is only a thousand, it is still a force that can shock the world!
On the battlefield, it can definitely determine the outcome.
Just as Zhao Duan was thinking, Zhao Jun chuckled again and said: "Old man, did you recognize who the commander of the heavy armored cavalry was?"
Zhao Duan was stunned for a moment and recalled the commander's face. He was suddenly speechless for a long time before saying, "How could it be that guy Ye Wei?"
Yes, the narrator's commander of the heavy armored cavalry phalanx is Zhao Jun's father-in-law Ye Wei, which is why he did not appear at the viewing platform.
When the old general learned that Zhao Jun actually had a heavy armored cavalry under his command, and that there would be a heavy armored cavalry phalanx participating in today's military parade, he immediately couldn't hold it any longer.
He directly used power to gain the command of the heavy armored cavalry phalanx.
This is a heavy armored cavalry!
Who among real men, especially generals, wouldn’t wish they could command such an ace!
This is the romance of men!
