Chapter 561
(It hurts a few minutes late, so I think it's earlier today. Haha, please vote!)
The Liaodong Army's heavy cavalry camp is well-known all over the world. Before the birth of the gunpowder in Liaodong, the heavy cavalry camp with armored cavalry was the capital of the Liaodong Army to establish itself in the world.
However, the war in Liaodong gradually subsided, and the heavy cavalry camp had fewer opportunities to appear. Especially when the Liaodong Arms Division had more and more black gunpowder weapons, and when the Liaodong Army's crossbows became stronger and stronger, the Liaodong Army's heavy cavalry never went to the battlefield again.
When Chen Kefu raided the grassland, he once brought heavy cavalry into the grassland, but he had no chance to use them. When he later attacked Hebei, he fought siege battles and sports raid battles. The dangerous passes of the imperial courts, the peasant army wandered around, the gunpowder of the Liaodong army, the Liaodong light cavalry and crossbow were enough to deal with them.
As we gradually stopped going to the battlefield, people in the world seemed to have forgotten this ace army.
Even inside the Liaodong Army, many people say that the Liaodong Army is now strong, has superior troops, sufficient equipment, and excellent armor. Light cavalry, infantry, and crossbowmen are all elite soldiers in the world, and there is no need to retain a heavy cavalry unit that is completely cost-effective.
Some generals even said that heavy cavalry has too many shortcomings, which not only cost money, but also has many shortcomings. As long as the enemy sets up ground spears, horse ropes and other defensive tools, they can easily defeat the iron-armored cavalry that is invulnerable to the enemy. Even those peasant soldiers who are not incompetent in clothes can easily defeat the heavy cavalry, because as long as they each have a large spear and line it up into a dense spear array, they can break the heavy cavalry.
Chen Kefu had heard of these people's meanings just smiled and didn't say anything.
The power of the heavy cavalry is incomparable. Although he has too many shortcomings, because he has given up a lot of things, he has achieved the strongest explosive power and impact power, and no military service can replace it.
As the commander who has made a name, Chen Kefu understood very well that heavy cavalry is not a universal unit. He cannot go on all battlefields. This is a sharp knife, held in the commander's hand. At the critical moment of the battlefield, such a sharp knife can achieve shocking results. Heavy cavalry is the pen used by commanders to point out the essence when commanders command operations.
When Li Benlei faced the 200,000 aristocratic coalition forces that had been stretched for twenty miles, the first plan that came to mind was to raid the heavy cavalry and raid the battalion, so that they could directly break through the aristocratic coalition forces, which had no hay ditch, no deer antlers, no fences and other battalion defense facilities with unparalleled explosive power and impact.
The coalition's camp was too long. If only ordinary light cavalry were sent to rush to the formation, it was possible that the coalition had gathered together before the rush was halfway through, forming an array. If the enemy was arranged in an array, then the dense archers and spear formations would be the absolute nemesis of the light cavalry.
Among his 50,000 men and horses, there were a total of 40,000 infantry, only 5,000 heavy cavalry and 5,000 light cavalry. It was a bit too unsolid to use 5,000 light cavalry to break through the enemy's camp. Only heavy cavalry could ignore the snow at this time and quickly break through the camp.
The five thousand heavy cavalry of the Poujun camp have completed their armor, with fifty cavalry as a platoon, and a full 100 rows. Once the heavy cavalry starts a charge, it is impossible to stop freely. They must rush through in one go to the next level to stop gradually. Therefore, in order to avoid rushing to their own people, there is enough distance between each row, and they will rush directly to the west before they stop.
On the snow, five thousand cavalry were divided into one hundred rows. The traditional black and bright light heavy cavalry armor of the Pojun camp were covered with white cloaks. The thick armor of the war horses were all covered with white cloaks.
After putting on the cover, the originally ferocious war horses were left with only those eyes and four horse hooves outside. There was also the sharp long thorn with a faint cold light on their foreheads. The heavy riding vests in the Pojun Camp were different from those in other troops, that is, the forehead of the heavy riding vests in the Pojun Camp was also full of sharp metal triangular thorns. As long as you are stabbed on the battlefield, you will be destroyed if you don’t die.
The black bright light heavy cavalry armor, the snow-white cloak, the coat, and the blood-red tassel on the helmet.
With the help of the cavalry of the Greedy Wolf Camp, the knights rode on the war horses and reached out to take over the seven-meter-long heavy cavalry exclusive horse lances.
The snowy night at the third day is extremely quiet.
It was still snowing heavily in the sky, and the north wind blew, blowing the tassels on the knights' heads.
Looking at the battalion who was still sleeping in the distance, Zhang He, the commander of the Pojun camp among the fifty cavalry in the first row, reached out and closed the mask in his helmet.
The black Pojun battle flag was flying, and Zhang He's heart was full of movement. It seemed like he was back to the 80,000 light cavalry outside the new city, following His Highness Chen with a thousand cavalry, Yizhi Wende. At that time, it was the first time they put on heavy cavalry and left with a determination to die.
The mask slowly closed, and Zhang He waved his calm and powerful hands in the air, "Glory belongs to us!" He silently recited in his heart.
"Glory belongs to us!" This is the battle call that King Chen roared and shouted when the first battle between the heavy cavalry in Xincheng. This sentence became the exclusive point for the Liaodong Army's broken military camp.
"Glory belongs to us!" Five thousand cavalrymen covered their covers, silently chanting the battle call in their hearts.
With the horse's belly, feeling the master's rising fighting spirit, these war horses picked out from thousands of miles began to step on their iron hooves and slowly ran.
Start, run slowly, run, cross, and advance wildly!
The horse was leaping on the saddle, and the torrent of the iron cavalry rushed towards the still silent camp in the snow, and the sound of horse hooves roared like thunder. Although the enemy camps were so long and so many were so amazing. Perhaps before they rushed over, they would be exhausted and become the targets of slaughter. However, the five thousand cavalry did not hesitate at all, and the heavy cavalry never said anything to retreat in the eyes of the heavy cavalry.
In their practice, some are invincible, unstoppable, and those who stop are invincible.
The queue was so dark that it overflowed the entire Fanyang Plain like an avalanche, and it couldn't even be seen, but the iron-armored cavalrymen were not afraid!
Even if there are thousands of people, I will go!
"Enemy attack!"
On the enemy platform of Lujiabao, someone screamed in fear first.
"The enemy attacks, the imperial cavalry!"
One after another, shouts continued to sound, and the entire Lujiabaohe coalition battalion seemed to wake up from hibernation.
"Dang Dang Dang Dang!" The rapid alarm bells began to ring again and again. On the shooting holes and watchtowers on the outermost edge of Lujiabao, torches were ignited. The joint camp had woken up at this time. Countless coalition soldiers began to look for their armor and weapons in panic. Some soldiers even forgot to wear their shoes, and rushed out of the tent in panic.
Located in front of the heavy cavalry of the Pojun Camp was a small family in Yuyang, the camp tent of the Liu family. Because they came the latest and the number of people was less than a thousand, they had to tie the tent in the east.
At this time, the head of the Liu family ran out of the camp in panic, wearing a bright light armor, and behind him were more than 600 Ding Nong's serfs armed from the manor.
After only one look, the head of the Liu family almost fainted. He tried hard to inhale several large mouthfuls of cold air, so that his fat body did not fall on the snow.
The sound of iron hooves like thunder kept coming. On the vast snow, the snow on the ground was constantly splashed into the air by flying horse hooves. The snow powder and mud were rising everywhere, making the heavy cavalry that rushed forward appear and appear faintly, like a ghost army.
The head of the Liu family swallowed his saliva with difficulty, but the two tui couldn't help but stand on the ground as if they had already grown. He wanted to leave, but tui couldn't move.
He felt his heart beating in his throat and Hun had already flew out of his body.
The earth shook violently under his feet, making him unsteady. The horse's hooves roared in his ears. The neat array of heavy cavalry was as heavy as a towering mountain, but it quickly pressed towards the easternmost side of the camp.
Standing there, the head of the Liu family, who could not even move his footsteps, was blown away by a huge impact before he could even shout the first scream, and then landed under the iron hooves in the back row, the second row, the third row...
The hundreds of Liu Family Dings and Serfs who had just run out of the tent, who had not yet run out of the tent, were washed down one by one by one by one by an unstoppable torrent of steel, as vulnerable as if they were made of paper and mud!
"Kill!" The roar of Zhentian of the Liaodong heavy cavalry drowned out a crowd of screams. The collision of weapons was a clang. In their terrifying attack, the head of the Liu family could not even resist for a moment. In an instant, they were flooded by this black iron armor torrent, and the destruction was only a matter of a moment!
"Sulfrost!" Zhang He immediately shouted, and the four commanders who followed him quickly waved the flag in their hands. In such a violent collision, although a series of combat plans had been decided. He had already trained many times for daily training, but sometimes, the commander in front of the battle was the best.
The four messengers waved the flags hard on their horses, and the knights following behind also saw them.
Except for the twenty rows of heavy cavalry in the front, they continued to knock all the people and objects in front of them with an unparalleled aura, but when the heavy cavalry behind them began to take out a special grenade, a sulphur bomb, which is also a sulphur bomb. However, with the technology at this time, the sulphur bomb of the Liaodong Army was just faster than the rocket rockets arson.
He took the turbulent bullet and pointed it on the fuse wrapped around his left wrist, and threw it far away towards the tent along the way.
"Boom" the sulphur bomb exploded, and balls of burning flames were sputtered onto the camp and the coalition soldiers.
This kind of sulphur bomb with special materials has little explosion power, but is a special item used to attack the camp. It is really a must-have item for the cavalry to attack the camp and break the camp. This time, the firearms Division was researched and developed, and it was immediately sent to the army. The first time it was used, it had an amazing effect.
The heavy cavalry rushed forward, knocking away countless coalition troops. Behind them, there was a disarray, and countless tents with raging fires were left on both sides...
