Just as Yang Da Niu's saber swept past the neck of an enemy cavalryman, he saw a cold light flashing in the corner of his eye, and he had no time to dodge, so he could only hurriedly fall down, and then only heard a sound, a huge impact hit his back, and the huge force made him almost fall off the horse.

Fortunately, the excellent armor saved him, this set of plate armor made of high-strength steel plate as raw material, and then stamped with a mold not only blocked the heavy knife, but also dispersed the huge power to all parts of the body, so that Yang Da Niu did not suffer much damage except for almost feeling a numb pain all over his body.

When Yang Feng turned his head, he saw a burly officer with a beard on his face and a burly body, looking at him in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that the knife he had just used all his strength did not kill the other party. There were no extra words, Yang Daniu's backhand was a knife, the blade swept over the officer's neck, accompanied by a cold light, blood splashed out, the officer was stunned for a while, the heavy knife in his hand fell to the ground, and then he covered his neck with both hands, his eyes were full of disbelief, and then he fell off the horse heavily.

When the two cavalry charged head-on, after the initial violent impact of Mars hitting the earth, the two sides began to fall into a stalemate, thousands of cavalry began to crowd in a small place within a radius of two miles and began to fight desperately, the two cavalry continued to separate and then re-collide and then separate and collide again, in the process of consuming bloody human lives.

But in this process, something surprising happened, originally in Xu Hongji's impression that his cavalry had been trained for many years, and as far as he knew, Jiang Ningwei's cavalry training time was less than half a year, at best, it could only be called an infantry on horseback, and the battle between the two sides should be one-sided, but the development of the battle situation was greatly beyond his expectations, after several collisions, Xu Hongji found that the biggest casualties were his own cavalry.

"How is this possible?" Xu Hongji, who found out about this situation, was shocked, and he turned his head to Zhang Weixian, who had just fled back in embarrassment, and asked, "You fought with that cavalry just now, did you find anything abnormal about the other party?" ”

Zhang Weixian, who had just escaped, had long since lost the high-spirited appearance when he first attacked, his face was covered with dust, and he gritted his teeth and said: "There is no abnormality, that is, the opponent's armor is extremely good, and it is difficult for our weapons to break through the opponent's armor, but the opponent's weapons can cause fatal injuries to our army. ”

"This sucks!"

Zhang Weixian's face finally showed an uneasy look, although he knew how to deal with the enemy army, but he didn't have it, and the heavy weapons were not originally for ordinary people.

Cavalry is not better than infantry, they have to wear armor and charge on horses, and the weapons they hold cannot be too heavy, otherwise the center of gravity is unstable, not to mention, too heavy weapons are easy to hurt themselves and their allies, so the general cavalry is either armed with long weapons such as spears and long knives, or they are armed with lighter weapons such as long knives.

is like the scene in Romance where countless people are holding dozens or even hundreds of pounds of weapons and charging at the enemy, which is just a scene made by people who have never been on the battlefield. There are very few people who can hold such a heavy weapon, it already belongs to the category of innate divine power, and there may not be a few out of 10,000 people, and even if someone can carry such a heavy weapon to the battlefield, ordinary war horses can't stand it.

For example, the Type 65 cavalry knife of the later Chinese army weighs only 1.85 kg at best, but even this has put forward high requirements for the wrist strength of the cavalry, and no matter how heavy it is, it will be easy to cause accidental injury due to the lack of wrist strength. It is precisely because the physical fitness requirements for the cavalry are too high, so in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jin State did its best to form a 5,000-person Iron Floating Massacre, and the Western Xia could only form 3,000 Iron Harriers, not that the rulers at that time did not want to form more heavy cavalry, but limited by the national strength at that time and qualified soldiers and war horses were too difficult to find, so the heavy cavalry was difficult to form a scale.

After taking a deep breath, Xu Hongji quickly made a decision, and he immediately ordered: "Pass the order, immediately Mingjin will collect the troops, and let the cavalry retreat!" ”

"Yes!"

Soon the battle array sounded the sound of the Ming Jin, after hearing the sound of the Ming Jin, the cavalry of Nanjing, who were originally gritting their teeth and fighting desperately, turned their horses back and retreated, and those red-eyed Jiangning Wei cavalry were unwilling to chase after the back, and they were about to chase in front of the main formation of the Nanjing battalion, and at this time, in front of the main formation, a famous firecracker of the Shenji Battalion with a firearm had already raised the firearm and aimed it at the front, just waiting for the opponent to enter the range and immediately fire. But fortunately, the leader Yang Daniu was an experienced veteran, and after seeing this scene, he quickly blew the trumpet and ordered to stop the pursuit, and then withdrew to the rear with the remaining cavalry.

When Yang Daniu counted the number of people, he found that there were only more than 300 of his original 500 cavalry left, but he lost 30% of his men and horses in the battle just now, and he almost didn't feel distressed to death.

However, Yang Da Niu was distressed, but Xu Hongji on the other side was so distressed that he almost spurted out the old blood, after some counting, the eight hundred cavalry who attacked only came back less than four hundred people, plus the cavalry that Zhang Weixian brought back just now, now there are only more than five hundred left, that is to say, the cavalry saved by the Duke of Wei for several generations was squandered by him after only one battle, and this blow made him almost vomit blood, but at this time there were still people nagging on the side.

"Grandpa Guo, how can you withdraw so easily, Xia Guan just saw clearly, as long as he holds on for a while, he can annihilate all those thieves, but it is a pity to withdraw now."

"Shut up!" Xu Hongji couldn't hold back any longer, stared at him with red eyes and scolded angrily, "Lu Jianshen, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb, you are a powerless scholar who is just watching here, don't you still think that you are both civil and military, and you even need you to teach you how to fight?" ”

"You ......"

was scolded by Xu Hongji for such a stinking head, Lu Jianshen was also so angry that his face was flushed, but he didn't dare to talk back to Xu Hongji, who was angry, and for a while he only felt that his stomach was about to explode.

Fortunately, Liao Yongquan came over in time to play the round.

"Okay, Grandpa Xu, Lord Lu is also unintentional, don't be too harsh on him."

Seeing Liao Yongquan coming over to intercede Xu Hongji stopped scolding, and before he could come out of his distress, there were bursts of horns in the distance, and a battlefield scout came to report that Jiang Ningwei's army had arrived on the battlefield.
