Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 171

Zhu Houzhao's three feathered arrows shot out very quickly. Obviously, the Tazi soldiers on the opposite side were also very good at archery. They also saw the difference in Zhu Houzhao. Several feathered arrows shot towards Zhu Hou, but Zhu Houzhao did not. Xu, the feather arrows shot on Zhu Houzhao's plate armor, making a clanging sound, but they failed to kill Zhu Houzhao, and all of them were bounced off.

On the contrary, Zhu Houzhao's three feathered arrows all pierced into the body of the Tartar general who rushed in the front, and the man fell to the ground as soon as he tilted his body.

Zhu Houzhao didn't know whether it was the man who was the chief general, or whether the Tartar cavalry had high tactical skills. After that man landed, there was no disturbance at all, and the Tartar soldiers continued to charge forward at a very fast speed.At this time, Zhu Houzhao didn't have time to think too much, because the teams of the two sides had already collided.

Holding the saber in one hand, this saber weighing more than 20 kilograms is heavy to others, but to Zhu Houzhao, it can only be regarded as a fresh hand, not too light.

The horse-chopping knife cut directly on the belly of a Tartar soldier, and the horse rushed over with the momentum. Zhu Houzhao's hand holding the horse-chopping knife didn't move at all, and cut the Tartar soldier in two with one knife.The Tazi soldier's scimitar struck Zhu Houzhao's chest, making a crisp sound, and then the two horses charged, and his scimitar flew into the sky.

The saber in Zhu Houzhao's hand didn't stop at all. When he met someone, he would slash through it with one blow. Such a powerful and heavy blow could cut the Tartar soldiers open with one blow.

Under Zhu Houzhao's subordinates, there is basically no general. Anyone who is cut by Zhu Houzhao is fatal with one blow.

Of course, this also has something to do with the plate armor Zhu Houzhao was wearing. It was so fine. When the scimitars of the Tazi soldiers slashed at Zhu Houzhao's body, there would be a burst of sparks at most, and then their scimitars collapsed.I am only allowed to hit people, but not allowed to hit me, which is Zhu Houzhao's current state.

The cavalry behind Zhu Houzhao took Zhu Houzhao as the front arrow, and directly chiseled towards the center of the opponent's cavalry array.

Now Zhu Houzhao knows why fierce generals are so admired in the era of cold weapons, because in such a battle, fierce generals are locomotives. Once the locomotive smashes into it, it will be difficult to stop it.In the cold weapon battle, he is a way that requires formation and array extremely. Once the array is dispersed, there is basically no need to fight.

"Kill it!" Zhu Houzhao waved the horse-cutting knife in his hand, and once again cut the Tartar soldier under the horse, holding the horse-cutting knife in his hand, and shouted loudly.

At this time, a man suddenly came out of the formation of the Tartar soldiers. This man was very fast and held a mace in his hand. Obviously, the Tartars also saw that Zhu Houzhao was able to be so brave. The strange armor on his body.This kind of armor is not afraid of being cut by a knife, so they directly smashed it with a mace.

Is Hu Houzhao's plate armor afraid of being smashed?Of course I was afraid, if hit by the huge gravity, Zhu Houzhao would be seriously injured even if he was protected by plate armor.

"Strength, right?" Zhu Houzhao reached out and threw the saber in his hand, piercing a Tartar soldier's chest with one knife, and took off the mace hanging from the horse with his hand.The previous use of the Saber was for the pursuit of speed, for the pursuit of sharpness, and now someone is comparing strength with himself, so let's try it.

Zhu Houzhao held the mace in his hand. His mace weighed a full sixty catties. Before that, Zhu Houzhao was ready to give up this weapon, because there was no horse that could move a plate armor and carry a mace Zhu Houzhao, even if it was a hunchback who wanted to play cavalry charge, it was impossible, but after finding this mount, Zhu Houzhao's problem was perfectly solved.

Holding the mace, Zhu Houzhao threw it at the general. Zhu Houzhao felt that the sound of breaking through the air was so clear and pleasant.

boom!
The Tartar general also swung his mace, obviously he was very confident in his own strength, the two maces collided fiercely, and there was a loud noise in an instant, as if Like sparks hitting the earth, with a bang, the mace of the Tartar general flew out, and the whole person was hit by this huge force, and he slipped out of the horse's ass.

Before Zhu Houzhao's war horse let out a pattering neigh, its two front legs were raised sharply, and then slammed down hard.

Hearing a thud, the chest of the Tartar general was smashed by two huge horseshoes and collapsed. The blood of the Tartar general spurted out from his nose, mouth and eyes in an instant. Zhu Houzhao sat on the horse, held high Holding a mace, he shouted loudly: "Da Ming, Wan Sheng!"

The cavalry who followed Zhu Houzhao also shouted: "Wansheng, Wansheng!"

With such shouts, the army's prestige and momentum were greatly boosted. Zhu Houzhao waved the mace in his hand and rushed forward again. He wanted to smash through the opponent's cavalry formation.

Standing on the top of the city of Guyuan, Qin Hong watched this scene very nervously at first, but he still failed to stop the prince from leaving the city. At the moment when the battle started, Qin Hong's eyes were firmly fixed on Zhu Houzhao's figure. It was Zhu Houzhao who was too conspicuous.When the cavalry from both sides collided, Qin Hong's heart almost jumped out.

In the ensuing battle, Qin Hong was dizzying to watch, and His Royal Highness, who made him watch out, was like a fierce tiger out of the cage.

When the tartar general with the mace came out, Qin Hong was also taken aback, but what he didn't expect was that His Royal Highness directly smashed that guy to death with a single move. When Wan Sheng wanted to go, the army The power was greatly boosted, and the morale suddenly rose to the peak. Zhu Houzhao led his men to directly cut through the opponent's army formation.

When smashing through the opponent's army formation, Zhu Houzhao directly pulled the reins of the horse, then turned around and said: "Change formation, fight back!"

This is a tactic that has been practiced countless times, and soon the rear team changed to the front team, charging back to the Tartar cavalry array in one go.

In fact, after Zhu Houzhao pierced through the entire cavalry column of the Tazi soldiers, they were already in a state of collapse. This time, when they came back from the fight, the entire array collapsed. Zhu Houzhao led people to chase east and west, and everyone went there Chase.By the time Zhu Houzhao reined in his horse, there was not a single Tartar soldier standing on the battlefield except the horse.

"Pursue for fifteen miles!" Zhu Houzhao held up the saber he had just picked up, and said loudly: "Behead for meritorious service!"

"Pursue for fifteen miles, beheaded for meritorious service!"

Following Zhu Houzhao's words, everyone shouted, and then groups of cavalry quickly chased around.This kind of hunting is their favorite, with a head of 40 taels, now is the time to cut their heads for money, and everyone is actively riding around and killing them.

At this time, the defenders in Guyuan City also came out, and what they had to do was also very simple. They grabbed the horses of the Tartar soldiers, and when they saw the living Tartar soldiers, they directly made a knife.

The living and wounded soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were carried down to resettle, and the dead were carried out and put aside. As for the Tartar soldiers, they were directly buried in pits to avoid causing plague.Originally, Zhu Houzhao thought about cutting off the head to build a Beijing temple, but after thinking about it, he gave up.In the future, I want to subdue the Mongolian tribe, and doing this kind of thing is easy to have blood feuds.

At this time, Qin Hong also came out of the city with Wang Shouren, and Qin Hong still hasn't recovered from the shock.

This battle was really thrilling, the old man's heart almost didn't jump out, glanced at Wang Shouren who was beside him with the old god, Qin Hong couldn't help asking: "His Royal Highness is so good at martial arts?"

Wang Shouren nodded: "Although there are not many rumors in the capital, many people also know that His Royal Highness is good at martial arts. I accompany His Highness and have personally seen His Highness's martial arts. Horseback riding and archery are all hard work, His Highness can open a three-stone bow, and his archery skills are comparable to the famous ancient general Li Guang and Huang Zhong."

After listening to Wang Shouren's words, Qin Hong nodded and stroked his beard with an appearance of approval.

The two soon saw Zhu Houzhao. Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was taking off his armor, Qin Hong couldn't help asking, "What is that set of armor Your Highness is wearing? But the armor and riding equipment of the former Sui Dynasty?"

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao smiled and waved his hands: "Armored riding equipment first appeared in the Jin Dynasty and flourished in the Sui Dynasty, but it was not so prosperous in the Tang Dynasty. Riding gear is an obvious disadvantage against light cavalry and elite infantry."

"There are two main reasons why the armor and riding equipment are not strong enough. One is that the horse is not good enough and has poor load-bearing capacity, and the other is that the armor is too heavy."

"Most of the cavalry in the Sui and Tang Dynasties rode Dawan horses, or even sweat-blood horses, which was consistent with the Han Dynasty. No, there are very few nauseous horses, so Song Dynasty can't even gather cavalry, let alone armored riding equipment."

"When we arrived in Ming Dynasty, we mostly used Mongolian horses, which are good for long-distance raids, but they are small in size and not good at carrying heavy loads. It is basically impossible to use them as armor and riding equipment."

Zhu Houzhao said as he patted the horse beside him, and continued to say to Qin Hong: "Then there is the issue of armor. The armor and riding equipment are all made of scales. The whole body of a man and a horse is covered with armor. If you want to achieve invincible protection, then the weight must be It is very large, which leads to poor mobility and long-distance attack capabilities, and it is a target on the vast grassland."

"This set of armor, I call it plate armor. We have nothing to do for the time being, so let's think of a way from the armor and see if we can make an armor that is light in weight but high in defense. This set is it. "

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Qin Hong immediately became excited. If he could really make a armored riding outfit with good mobility and good at long-distance raids, then why should Ming be afraid of the grassland?Even if you are poor at shooting, even if you are poor at riding, it doesn't matter at all!
