The Great Explosion of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 228 The Knights Are Underestimated

Talking about two ends, let's say that Zhang Xiu led the cavalry headquarters, charging towards the enemy from the side in a mighty way.

The Xiliang warhorse has strong explosive power, can carry heavy loads, and has perfect endurance. The only disadvantage is that it is expensive, and it costs a lot to raise; the Bingzhou horse is slightly smaller, relatively easy to feed, and has strong endurance and fast speed, suitable for long-distance raids.So in the process of pursuit, the gap between the two sides was shown.

The speed of the two sides is similar, the difference is that most of the Xiliang iron cavalry wear heavy armor, while most of the Bingzhou cavalry are only ordinary scale armor.Compared with those tall horses in Xiliang, the horses in Bingzhou were much shorter.

This is also a matter of no choice. Xiliang Dama is famous all over the world, but the feeding conditions are too high, so it is not convenient to recruit a large number of them.Bingzhou is a barren land with little output and cannot afford to raise Liangzhou horses. However, Bingzhou horses have adapted to the environment here, and can even survive in harsher environments. Their speed and endurance are also very good, so they can gradually become Bingzhou army horse of choice.In addition, there are Youzhou horses, which are actually similar to Bingzhou horses...

In order not to let the enemy find out, Lu Bu and the others walked a little farther away, so when they came to kill, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under Zhang Xiu's command was already a little tired.But he didn't want to be on the side of the Bingzhou Army. The horses were still in high spirits, which made him quite curious.

"General Zhang!" Cheng Lian was even more aware of this problem, so he came to Zhang Xiu, "The general can slow down the cavalry under his command to save energy. Later, our army will be responsible for harassing the opponent, and the cavalry under the general's command will need to break through the formation! "

"Okay!" Zhang Xiu agreed with Cheng Lian after seeing the difference between the two horses.

Liangzhou iron cavalry is best at attacking fortifications, not only on cavalry, but on horses with vests.This maximizes defense, also reduces speed, and puts more burden on the horse.This road was followed by the Bingzhou cavalry, and these horses were already a little tired.

"Be careful, there are enemies coming towards us in the distance!" Suddenly, Cheng Lian shouted, but he didn't need to remind him, Zhang Xiu had already seen the smoke and the sound of rumbling horseshoes on the distant horizon.

The enemy army is moving towards this side. Zhang Xiu and Cheng Lian immediately thought of the cavalry archers of the other side. That kind of cavalry is really powerful. They can shoot while riding horses. Unless they use a strong crossbow, they can only use The method of flanking, killing the opponent.

"Soldiers split into two groups to attack the opponent!" Cheng Lian shouted, and the cavalry under his command immediately split into two groups, and then he turned around and said to Zhang Xiu, "General, please attack from the center!"

"Okay!" Zhang Xiu nodded. Although he was in charge of the command in name, it was impossible for Bingzhou soldiers to listen to him.Besides, Cheng Lian's suggestion was very pertinent, and he couldn't find any reason to refute it.

On the horizon, the lightly armed horse archers were naturally the first to charge forward. Even the light cavalry, due to their armor, was slower than the horse archers.After all, what cavalry archers need is speed and accuracy, and what they need is to kill the enemy while protecting themselves.

"The opponent seems to be planning to flank us?" Zhao Kuangyin saw the opponent's cavalry phalanx suddenly split into two groups, and immediately understood the opponent's plan. Earlier they fought with cavalry archers, which did cause them a lot of trouble.It seems that this time it is a targeted countermeasure.

"Have you seen Xue Li?" Mu Huali asked, Li Zheng came back to report to Xue Rengui's palace, facing the tens of thousands of enemy troops, it may be more or less auspicious...

"I haven't seen it yet, but I also haven't seen Lu Bu!" Zhao Kuangyin said, "Whether it's the red dodder or Fang Tian's painted halberd is too conspicuous, there is no reason why they can't be recognized. It can only be said that Lu Bu may really be held back by Xue Li come down."

"Even so, Xue Li is still in danger! There is no way to waste time here, let's make a quick decision!" Mu Huali didn't intend to waste too much time with this group of cavalry, "Zhao Yun, you take Li Zheng to restrain the one on the left." Part of the enemy army, other troops follow me to attack the troops on the right! Wentong, the group in front should be Xiliang iron cavalry, do you have the guts to eat them?"

"Just wait for your words!" Wei Wentong was already ready to fight.

Zhao Yun also took a deep breath, intending to perform well, not to mention Li Zheng, he was indeed a little worried about Xue Rengui's safety.I just want to kill these enemy troops early, and then go to have a look.

When others were promoted to General Zhonglang, most of them had 1000 cavalry under their command. Although he was promoted to General Zhonglang, he only had [-] soldiers under his command. Shi Hui promised to make up for him when the army expanded next time, but the same , it is hard to say when the military will expand.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Shi Hui still has some resentment towards him for not working hard in the past.Zhao Yun was not good at refuting, he just hoped to perform well and not let Shi Hui down again.

"Spread out!" Seeing that Zhao Yun led his main army and charged towards the enemy, with Xie Zhen, Li Zheng and Chen Ying under his command, Mu Huali was not worried. He was only targeting the enemy on the right, so he immediately ordered Order.

Under his command, Mu Huali, Zhao Kuangyin, and Xing Daorong quickly divided into three groups and spread out. While riding horses and galloping, they walked on both sides of the enemy army, and at the same time bent their bows and set arrows, heading towards the enemy's position shooting.

Even if this group of Bingzhou cavalry were wearing scale armor, they suffered a great loss in such a flanking situation.To deal with this group of cavalry, you can only use strong crossbows to deal with them, or use heavy cavalry to fight against them, otherwise you can only consider training such cavalry archers.However, none of the roads will work at the moment, and Cheng Lian is immediately distressed.

Fortunately, he finally noticed that the stirrups and saddles on the horse archers' feet seemed to have changed slightly.It is this kind of change that allows cavalry to borrow strength on horseback, whether it is charging to kill the enemy or shooting from horseback, it becomes operable.

"So the secret is here!" Cheng Lian nodded, as long as he knew the secret, even if he lost the battle, he would not be punished.After all, the current situation is indeed very bad.

Without Lu Bu, his personal charm would not have made these cavalrymen desperate for him. It was not until this time that he realized what a strong general meant to an army.

"The situation is not optimistic, follow me to support General Cheng!" Zhang Xiu just arrived, and when he saw the situation on the battlefield, he immediately ordered to go to support. The horse archers can be restrained by heavy knights.Especially the short-distance explosive effect of the Xiliang horse is much faster than the opponent's horse.

"Unfortunately, your opponent is us!" Not far away, Wei Wentong saw Zhang Xiu's intention, and immediately led the knight troops to kill Zhang Xiu.

"Don't underestimate the Xiliang iron cavalry!" Zhang Xiu also saw the three thousand knights on the other side, but the horses on the other side were only average, maybe similar to Bingzhou horses, but not as good as Xiliang horses.

The key is that the other party is also dressed as a heavy cavalry, which makes him feel very disdainful.It's not that you can call yourself a heavy cavalry just by finding a random horse and equipped with heavy armor!Let the other party know what a real heavy cavalry is today!
　Starting next week, there will be on-duty tasks one after another, and you need to go to the local checkpoint to perform duties for a few hours, and the update may be a bit unstable at that time.I can only say that I strive for two chapters a day, and my duty will last until around September 9th.

　　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, ask for subscription!
