It seemed like a pair of giant hands began to beat the tong drum across the entire world. The loud sound of "dong dong dong" has been shaking people's hearts.
As Beiyu's cavalry commander, not only Zhang Qiu but also Yuchi Ding had an almost pale look on his face.
The Shu general Chao Yi separated the two wings of the cavalry to block and pursue the Yanzhou bow cavalry. Instead, the Xishu heavy cavalry appeared in front of them and suddenly charged towards them like crazy.
"Something's wrong. If we don't let the front army block it, we'll go out first -"
"General Zhang Qiu!" Yuchi Ding's voice was deep, interrupting Yuchi Ding, "We have nearly 20,000 cavalry in Beiyu, and the heavy cavalry in Xishu only have three or four thousand. We are also on flat terrain, so why be afraid? he!"
"Armies, fight!"
Yuchi Ding knew very well that he could not achieve any meritorious service in this battle. He was afraid that Hebei Wuliang would really be unable to hold his head high among the little military advisor. How could he be willing to accept defeat after repeated defeats and the death of two younger brothers?
Seeing Yuchi Ding's appearance, Zhang Qiu was silent for a while, then quickly cooperated with Yuchi Ding and also led Wanqi to quickly meet the heavy cavalry that was coming to kill them.
It's a pity that if there is harassment by bow cavalry, the chance may not be greater. But now the bow cavalry has been chased to death by Xi Shu's light cavalry.
"kill!"
Head on.
Covered in thick armor, Wei Feng did not shout. The power of heavy cavalry lies in the direct charge. He understood even more clearly that for the sake of these three thousand men's heavy cavalry, all the best iron and stone from Shuzhou to the Western Regions had been used to make heavy armor in the past few years. His lord did not know how much effort he had spent. If you lose here, I'm afraid you will become the laughing stock of the world.
Just waiting to rush closer, the three thousand heavily armored Shu cavalry all fired their rifles in tacit understanding. They had practiced movements like this countless times in the Gobi outside Liangzhou.
After several years of practice, he will win a good reputation all over the world.
Heavy riding like a tank!
…
Not far away, although arrangements had been made, Dongfang Jing could not help but be helped up to a high place and looked sideways at the battle of the white-armored heavy cavalry.
To be honest, the resources consumed by this heavy cavalry are enough to raise a standard army of tens of thousands.
But Dongfang Jing understands that the choice made by the lord Xu Mu will not be wrong. On the battlefield, without a world-class elite, it is impossible to stabilize the war situation.
"Military advisor, we are getting closer."
Guard Li San'er's words made Dongfang Jing's eyes become more solemn, watching closely the upcoming fight between the two knights.
On the ground, Yuchi pretended to be crazy, and the long saber in his hand was raised high for a moment.
"Kill over, wait until the Shu people's heavy cavalry is stopped, and the rear army will attack in a roundabout way."
There is nothing wrong with Yuchi's arrangement. The mistake was that he underestimated the charging power of heavy cavalry, which was incomparable to light cavalry.
Moreover, this is under the condition that the heavy cavalry is not connected to the iron rope and does not fight to the death.
"Destroy the Shu Shu!" A Beiyu captain who was in charge charged the most fiercely, roaring and raising his sword.
clang.
Just like a light thing, the Northern Chongqing Captain and the dozens of riders on the left and right were quickly hit by the white-armored rider, knocking them off their backs and falling a few steps away.
"This..." Zhang Qiu, who was behind, had been paying attention to the front. When he saw this appearance, he was so shocked that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
He is not a mediocre general, but also a man who conquers the south and the north. According to his thoughts, the Shu people's heavy cavalry sacrificed the mobility of the horses, and it was like being wrapped in a layer of iron, which could not be stronger... But he never imagined that the impact of the charge would be so terrifying.
Zhang Qiu looked around and realized that at some point, Yuchi Ding, who was unwilling to be defeated, had already reached the front.
"Damn it." Gritting his teeth, Zhang Qiu had no choice but to lead others and rush forward.
Clang clang clang.
Close combat with white blades, the heavily armored Shu cavalry were covered in armor. Even though they were struck by the swords of the Beiyu people, they did not suffer too many casualties. It's nothing more than the collision of weapons and armor, making a crisp clang sound.
"What's going on?" A Beiyu cavalryman looked at the knife in his hand with fear on his face. He was extremely experienced, and he stabbed the thin armor's ribs with his sword with all his strength, but failed to break the armor.
Click.
The heavy horseman of Xishu, who was cut down, turned sideways with his face wearing a hooded helmet, his eyes hidden behind the iron helmet were cold and indifferent, and then he shot out a spear, hitting the cavalryman in front of him so much that he fell off his horse and died.
Scenes like this happen from time to time on the battlefield.
No one could have imagined that these heavy riders from Western Shu could be so terrifying. When you lift the knife and chop at each other, it's like chopping on an iron lump.
How did they know that this was not an ordinary iron armor, but a heavy iron armor that Xu Mu collected from the Western Regions and focused on building.
Together with more than a dozen riders, they managed to kill a heavily armored rider. At this time, Yuchi Ding felt like he was sweating profusely, and he estimated that the lining in his armor was about to get soaked.
"General Yuchi, the Shu people are going to dig through!"
Yuchi Ding gritted his teeth. What he said before about blocking the horse's hooves was clearly a joke. How can we stop these heavily armored monsters?
Just like giant cars, they were crushing towards them.
All around, from time to time, there were robes falling off horses, roaring angrily.
"Kill the horse first!" Yu Chiding quickly rolled his eyes and finally shouted an order.
"Although it is a horse with armor, it can cut off the horse's legs!"
But under this situation, it is even more difficult to ride on a horse and chop off the legs of the opponent's cavalry. Only some Beiyu cavalrymen could occasionally slash their long swords and injure the horses' hoofs.
"Qinghe camp, abandon the horses and form a formation, cut off the legs of the Shu cavalry!"
"General Yuchi...could he be leaving me to die?" A general's voice trembled.
"Yu Chi Ding, we didn't form a formation before. Now we have formed a formation before the battle. We have lost the opportunity!" Zhang Qiu, who came after him, looked bitter for a moment.
"Retreat, retreat! Don't fight each other, don't report to the victorious little strategist before making plans."
Yuchi Ding held the knife, his face full of pain. He could see that a large number of the Beiyu cavalry rushing forward had been killed by Xishu's heavy white-armored cavalry.
This mighty 40,000 cavalry army no longer had the same high-spiritedness as before.
My captain Chi Ding... suffered another defeat.
"Yu Chi Ding, why don't we let all the 20,000 cavalrymen in Beiyu die here? The war is not going well, so why not retreat! If you are obsessed with victory or defeat, you will never become a famous general in this life!" Zhang Qiu scolded angrily.
"I can't understand how it can be so powerful with only three or four thousand riders!"
"This is the elite of the Shu people. If not, why would the lame man let these three or four thousand riders come to block him!"
"Retreat, retreat!" Yuchi Ding's eyes were red, and he asked people to raise the camp flag, and then quickly raised the gold to retreat.
"Qinghe camp, cut off the rear."
After retreating, Wei Feng's three thousand white-armored cavalry charged even more fiercely. The Qinghe camp at the rear, with its two to three thousand light cavalry, couldn't stop them for long. After suffering heavy casualties, the defeated Beiyu Qingqi just turned their horses and were overtaken by the white armored cavalry, killing nearly a thousand more people.
Unfortunately, when Beiyu's light cavalry successfully broke away, the maneuverability of the heavy cavalry was far less than the speed of the light cavalry. After a while, he slowly couldn't catch up.
Riding on the horse, Yuchi Ding just breathed a sigh of relief.
But he didn't expect that the information brought back by a general would shock him again.
"General Yuchi, the crippled strategist of Western Shu...at some point, he sent 20,000 infantrymen around to block our path with his horses and spear formations!"
