Yi Song

Chapter 241 Heavy Armored Red Rider
When the iron kite was charging straight at Han Shizhong and Wang De, Liu Guozhang was dressing up on the mountain ridge in the distance.

The servant first put on a suit of silk underwear for him and tied several straps tightly around his front, waist and back.

Then put on a pair of cotton armor and tie it tightly at the front and back.

The most important function of silk inner armor is to prevent blade fragments from entering the wound as much as possible after the outer layers of armor are penetrated. These things can cause inflammation and are deadly things.

Cotton armor is a buffer and the last line of defense. The silk and cotton inner armor were embroidered by Zhao Wuniang and Yingxiu together.

Then the attendants lifted up a suit of steel wire armor.

Steel wire chain armor is made of refined iron wire wound into circles, as big as a money eye, and wrapped around like a thread. It is shaped like a shirt with an open collar. With the help of his followers, Liu Guozhang pulled it on from top to bottom like wearing clothes.

This kind of steel wire chain armor was improved by Liu Guozhang based on the Western chain armor and the chain armor of the former Tang Dynasty. It is extremely difficult for guns and arrows to penetrate.

Put on a leather armor outside.

This is made of East China Sea shark skin, which is extremely tough and works in conjunction with the chain armor for double insurance.

Zhang Meng, Yue Fei and other three thousand heavily armored cavalry also wore armor with the help of their retinue.

Zhang Meng, Yue Fei and others also raised their weapons high, and saw only swords, guns, axes and hammers, densely packed.

"Big Eyes, Brother Fei, are you dressed?"

"Get dressed!"

The parasite is made of two bunches of red cloth, standing high and hanging backwards, like a pair of outstretched wings.

Liu Guozhang didn't make a sound, he just mobilized his mount and slowly walked to the front.

First put on the "horse armor" that protects the horse's chest and the "horse body armor" that protects the torso, and tie the harness. Then put on the "chicken neck" to protect the horse's neck, the "back" to protect the horse's butt, and the "parasitic" that stands on the tail.

Only the curtain protecting the horse's head and face was not closed for the time being.

Young, vicissitudes of life, perseverance, nervousness, everyone's eyes are filled with enthusiasm.

Liu Guozhang, who was sitting on his mount, glanced at the cavalry behind him, his eyes scanning everyone's face.

Several other retinues were putting armor on a majestic black horse.

Put on the body armor first and tie it with a drawstring, hanging straight down past the knees. The belly robe and wat headband are tied around the waist, the shawls are tied around the shoulders and arms, and the greaves are tied around the calves.

This set of horse armor has a layer of cotton on the inside, a leather armor in the middle, and a layer of fish scale armor on the outside. The surrounding area is also wrapped with red cloth, and the nail surface is painted red.

The helmet is put aside. It is a Suzaku-winged helmet with a fish scale hanging down, which can protect the neck tightly. The armor all over his body was wrapped with red cloth, and the armor surface was painted red, looking like a ball of fire.

Then put on the Song Dynasty's red lacquer fish scale armor outside.

"Yes!"

He stretched out his right hand, took the Silver Dragon Iron Spear, and raised it high.

"Okay, get ready to kill the enemy!"

The retinues led the armored mounts and walked forward slowly, and soon came to a formation of 10,000 cavalry.

This East China Sea shark skin armor was carefully crafted by Murong Jun in the southeast and was delivered day and night by skilled craftsmen.

With the help of several followers, Liu Guozhang mounted a red-armored mount and waited quietly for the followers to hang the Baihua Zhan on the headband of the wat, and then hung the hammer and long-handled ax on both sides of the saddle.

At this time, the first wave of fierce fire bombs could be seen flying through the air from a distance, hitting the iron kite.

The battlefield was filled with flames and chaos.

Then the second, third, and fourth waves of fierce fire bombs were thrown at the iron kites as if they were free, and the two thousand Xixia heavy cavalry were quickly devoured.

Liu Guozhang raised the Silver Dragon Iron Spear and shouted: "Advance!" Three thousand armored cavalry and ten thousand light cavalry slowly walked up the mountain ridge and appeared in front of everyone. Behind Liu Guozhang, a huge red tiger flag fluttered in the wind.

"Your Majesty, over there, look over there!"

At the reminder of his personal escort, Brother Richard moved his gaze to the northeast and saw the Red Tiger Cavalry that was like a sea of ​​waves in the sky, and his face turned pale.

Just now, Tie Yaozi rushed into the Song army's formation when he saw the danger. He was beaten to pieces by a sudden fire bomb. With the pursuit of light cavalry, less than a hundred cavalry escaped. Brother Richard was already despairing.

Suddenly seeing this Song Army cavalry ready to go, I was so angry that my teeth were broken.

Bastard Liu Erlang, you really didn’t leave any way for us to survive! Just now, the infantry on the south route and the middle route fought hard for a long time and returned without success. The morale on our side has been greatly reduced.

He dispatched the Iron Kites himself, preparing to take advantage of the Song army's exhaustion to defeat the Chinese army in one fell swoop, break through the camp, and win a decisive victory.

Unexpectedly, Tie Yaozi, who had placed high hopes on him, would be defeated inexplicably and miserably. Then you add insult to injury and take advantage of our army's low morale and shaken morale to strike a fatal blow.

What a good Liu Erlang, he has a really vicious eye and he seizes the opportunity very accurately. The attack was ruthless enough, and the heavy cavalry was directly dispatched to seal the throat with a sword!
how to respond?

Brother Richard is in trouble.

Our own 40,000 cavalrymen were now panicking. The heavy cavalry of the Song army gave them a heavy blow, and the subsequent cavalrymen followed up to cover up the attack. It was definitely a huge defeat.

Head-on blow?

Their horses are armored and they are not afraid of swords, guns and arrows at all. Hitting one's own light cavalry is like crushing a chicken. What's more, people have been waiting for him to send out the cavalry.

The main force is the wild wolves from Monan and Mobei, and the two most fierce and skilled cavalry on our side, the main force of the Hebei cavalry, are still stuck at the station and have not come.

Most of the Henan cavalry have become their lackeys, and are following behind them "Enter the Patricide" with great power.

In the absence of the two elites, half of the remaining cavalry on our side are just making up the numbers.

You will see the truth as soon as you engage in battle. How to fight?
There was a melee between our own cavalry and the Song Army's cavalry. The infantry approached from the flanks, and they cooperated with their horses and infantry. They suppressed them with bows and arrows, trapped them with shields and spears, and ate up their own cavalry bit by bit.

There was a melee with the Song Army's infantry, and the other's cavalry approached from the flanks. In short, the other's horse and infantry armies cooperated tacitly, setting up a large formation and waiting for him to enter the urn.

Our cavalry was defeated and lost its mobility, and the remaining infantry was meat on the chopping board.

Thoughts ran through Brother Richard's mind countless times. At his wits' end, he turned around, hoping to get help and reminders from the generals behind him.

Frightened, evasive, pale, and harboring evil intentions, everyone's thoughts were written on their faces. Brother Richard found the answer and didn't want to ask anymore.

Perhaps all this is the arrangement of Buddha.

Brother Richard glanced at the captain of the guard. He understood and left quietly.

Liu Guozhang put on his helmet, fastened his armor, protected his neck, and put on his iron mask.

The attendant fastened the face curtain of his mount and quickly stepped aside.

Liu Guozhang looked back and saw that everyone was ready. Even the mounts were breathing lightly, their hooves gently turning over the soil, ready to go.

Liu Guozhang breathed a long sigh of relief, raised the Silver Dragon Iron Spear in his right hand high, and shouted loudly: "Blow the trumpet!"

As the military commander's flag waved, hundreds of trumpeters raised their horns and blew their horns with all their strength.

Woo-woo-woo!
The long and deep trumpet sound sounded on the desolate land.

At that moment, Huo Qubing of the former Han Dynasty left Longyou in the west for his 10,000 cavalry, and Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty attacked Dingxiang's 3,000 fine cavalry at night. The sound of their horns passed through the barriers of time and space, gathered together, and floated leisurely in the sky. over this land.

Liu Guozhang raised his iron spear and shouted: "Kill the enemy!"

Thousands of cavalrymen raised their weapons and shouted in unison: "Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy!"
