Chapter 256
Han Chang saw Wang Xiao hunting cavalry coming from the opposite side. Everyone was wearing iron armor and shining with golden light under the morning glow. The horses were carefully selected, all of which were tall and had complete horse harnesses. The cavalry did not come quickly, but they were amazing and pressed over like a mountain.
The Jin army originated from the Baishan and Black Water. Although the Liao and Song Dynasty seized a lot, the army naturally did not like such equipment. When they arrived in front of the formation, they often wore two layers, sometimes even three layers. Seeing the momentum of the Song army, even a knowledgeable general like Han Chang could not help but gasp.
Seeing that it was getting closer, Han Chang shouted loudly. He took off his bow, put an arrow on it, pulled it like a full moon. He let out a breath, and the arrow headed towards the front general of the Song army like a meteor.
When Chi Yuping saw the arrow coming, he was wearing iron armor and was inconvenient to move, so he had no time to dodge. The arrow suddenly stumbled on Chi Yuping's left chest like a poisonous snake. There was nothing at first, but it took a long time to slowly seep out blood. Chi Yuping ignored it, just controlled the horse and came slowly towards the Jin army.
Seeing that Chi Yuping was not seriously injured, the Jin army was in a state of uproar.
Han Chang was a powerful general, able to use three stone bows. The bow power he used immediately was smaller, and there were also two stones and five dou. In the battle formation, there were countless scenes where Han Chang penetrated his enemy general's chest with one arrow. Today he was shooting on the enemy general, but it was bleeding and not seriously injured. It is conceivable how thick the iron armor of the Song army on the opposite side was. The Jin army could not help but be afraid of fighting against such an army.
Soon, the two armies were only twenty or thirty steps away. The Jin army bent their bows and shot arrows, but they could not penetrate the armor of the Song army. Even the arrow branches stabbed on the armor of the Song army were rarely, and they fell to the ground.
Seeing that the Song army was getting closer, like a dark cloud. The iron hooves hit the ground like thunder. Han Chang was both depressed.
The two armies were about twenty steps away, Chi Yuping shouted loudly and held the spear tightly. The whistle from the mouths of the personal soldiers beside him made a shrill whistle, and a whistle suddenly sounded in front of the formation. With the whistle, the Song army's spear was raised flat and slightly tilted upwards. Then the whistle continued, and the Song army's speed suddenly increased. It rushed straight towards the Jin army like Mount Tai pressing the top of the top of the mountain.
When Han Chang saw that it was not good, he swung the iron mace in his hand and took the spear that stabbed him aside.
The Song army's spear was too long, and the Jin army saw a spear stab at the spear. Without waiting for the reaction, a large area fell down. Almost in the blink of an eye, hundreds of Jin cavalry died on the battlefield.
Wu Shu's vision was blocked by his army, and he could not help but feel anxious when the lineup began to disintegrate. Li Yanxian on the opposite side saw clearly and was shocked. Everyone knew that the heavy armored cavalry was powerful, but the Song Dynasty lacked horses and had not been in the imperial guards for a long time. Today, the first time I saw the heavy armored cavalry charge, like a giant hammer, directly smashing the front of the Jin army.
After a moment of silence, Li Yanxian said, "Punishment, if you have such a strong soldier, why not be afraid of the Jin people! There are three thousand iron cavalry, no one can stop you!"
Wang Xiaolei said: "Three thousand iron cavalry, observe, I can't afford to raise so many heavy armored cavalry. Even if I can afford to raise, I don't have so many good horses, nor so many good soldiers. I recruited 50,000 soldiers and picked one out of a hundred to get these six hundred iron cavalry. These six hundred people are much more expensive than three thousand normal army! The soldiers and horses under their crotch are carefully selected, and there are only so many."
Li Yanxian naturally understood this truth. He said, "What a pity. If the territory you are observing is larger, there will inevitably be more elite soldiers. If there is no shortage of horses in the army, there will be more iron cavalry! They rushed forward and no formation could be dispersed!"
Wang Xiaoliudao: "Only heavy cavalry is of little use. It is not easy for them to cooperate with other troops."
Chi Yuping stabbed three people in a row, and the Jin army in front squeezed together, like a wall of earth blocking it. When the gun was stabbed out, it was twisted by the Jin army and could not be taken back. The other knights around him were the same.
He stabbed the spear in his hand forward and fiercely. Chi Yuping pulled out the iron mace and whispered: "Go to the horse knight! Bounce!"
The front row of the Song army stabbed the spears in their hands, pulled out their maces, and whistled forward. They replaced them with short weapons, and the gap between the cavalry suddenly widened. The knights in the back row checked for the spears in their hands, stabbed the Jin army missing from the front row one by one.
Han Chang had retreated to the back, watching the Song army's momentum remained unchanged, and pressing towards him. The weapons of his cavalry were difficult to cause harm to the Song army that was pressing over, and the situation was already one-sided. He knew in his heart that there was no way to win today.
Although the iron armor has strong protection, it is not flexible in movement, which limits people's posture. The Song army held the iron mace and could only make a few limited movements. However, these knights were carefully selected, with a strong figure and great strength. With one mace, the Jin army would burst into pieces, which was extremely scary.
Chi Yuping raised his iron mace, and a mace smashed the head of a Jin army officer in front of him. He raised his head to look for Han Chang, the commander of the Jin army.
Han Changre was not good and had retreated to the back. He commanded his personal soldiers and attacked the commanders in the army, trying to bring the remaining Jin army back in an organized manner. However, the formation of the Jin army was crushed into a group by the Song army and could not be separated at all.
Previously, Wu Shu only saw his formation quickly scattered, and he didn't know what happened. Soon the formation was crushed into a ball, and he found that the Song army was pressing over, and his side was unstoppable. Seeing Song Jun wearing iron armor and invulnerable swords and guns, Wu Shu took a breath and hurriedly ordered his personal soldiers to call the gold immediately and ask Han Chang to withdraw.
Seeing that the Jin army began to retreat, Chi Yuping shouted loudly: "Insert the enemy's formation! Kill!"
The Song army divided into small teams and penetrated into the Jin army formation like sharp blades. Regardless of the Jin army behind them, they just rushed forward, and soon divided the Jin army into small groups. The Jin army had no fighting spirit, and regardless of the life or death of the people behind them, they just retreated to the large formation.
Chi Yuping led his troops to chase him quickly until he was less than fifty steps away from the Jin army formation.
Looking up at the Jin army's formation, Chi Yuping slowly drove over the horse and stood in front of the formation like a fierce god. The Song army behind surrounded the Jin army that had not had time to escape and chopped down one by one in front of the formation.
Li Yanxian was excited to see it and said to Wang Xiaoli beside him: "Pussy, your iron cavalry is unstoppable! Why not let them rush down, you will be able to disrupt the Jin army formation! At that time, the entire army was pressing forward, and see where Wu Shu escaped!"
Wang Xiaoliu said: "Observe, there are only six hundred heavy cavalry. Even if the Jin army is in chaos, the Jin army formation will not be chaotic. Without other troops to support him, the heavy cavalry cannot stop being tripped by the enemy and stabbed to death, and there is no way to do anything. Today I just try with the Jin army, and it will be enough to win in momentum. To be honest, if the entire army is integrated, tens of thousands of people can be like arms and fingers, how could they let the Jin army go!"
The heavy cavalry only attacked a little, and if there were no other troops to protect the left and right, they were also very dangerous. After storming the enemy's military formation, it would be difficult to win without other troops expanding their results. At this time, the Jin army was still very strong, and it would be difficult to defeat them with only 600 people.
Han Chang returned to the military formation and saw that there were only six or seven hundred people who came back with him, and he couldn't help but look ashamed. He crossed his hands to Wu Shu and said, "Langjun, the Song cavalry is powerful and invulnerable! The last general is incompetent, so please punish me!"
Wu Shu looked at Chi Yuping standing there in front of the formation and gritted his teeth and said, "I underestimated Wang Xiaoli! If you don't fight him, you can't do anything to fight him! The second prince is waiting in Shaanxi, and we can't start a war with Wang Xiaoli in Luoyang! This battle is my unthinking and it has caused you to suffer! Let's wait a few months, and we will meet him again when the war in Shaanxi is over!"
Han Chang said: "I'm afraid that by then, the army under Wang Xiaolien will be strengthened!"
Wu Shu sneered: "The Song people have no horses. Wang Xiao has great skills in hunting. How many heavy armored cavalry do they have! When I go back to this battle, I will find some good horses. I will train a heavy armored cavalry that is ten times more powerful than him. Let's see how he is!"
