"Dragon Guard, everyone is wearing heavy armor!" Zhao Junsheng gave the order.

When they set out from Chang'an, there were 1,000 Dragon Guards, and they lost dozens of people in several battles, and now there are only more than 920 people, but no matter who dares to underestimate these 900 people, they are destined to suffer a big loss.

Under Zhao Junsheng's order, the soldiers of the Dragon Guard Army not only put horse armor on their horses, but also wrapped themselves tightly with heavy armor.

There were so few places around that there were to stand on it, even if you wanted to put all the less than a thousand dragon guard cavalry out of the way.

In order to make room for the Dragon Guard to line up, Zhao Junsheng immediately ordered: "Infantry, advance!" ”

The herald shouted, "Infantry, advance—"

The drummer immediately waved the drumstick, "Knock, knock, knock······"

The drums beat unhurriedly, just enough for a person to take a step between them.

"Forward—" Hua Xiong pulled out his sword and pointed forward, roared, and led the way down the paddy field, and suddenly muddy water splashed.

Behind him, rows of cadres and infantry carrying shields, knives or spears in a neat formation from the ridge down to the paddy field, one by one He Miao was trampled into the muddy water, the original green and lush He Miao was soon trampled a large area, if there are people here to see, they must be anxious to jump to scold their mother.

It's about to be a knife to see the blood to divide life and death and victory or defeat, who the hell cares about what seedlings, even if the field is all gold, at this time, I am afraid that no one dares to pick it up.

The armored infantry soon felt the pain, the weight was too heavy, and it was okay to walk in the paddy fields at first, but after a long time, they couldn't hold on, and the muddy water on their calves hindered their progress.

Fortunately, Zhao Junsheng gave the order in time: "The infantry unloads the armor!" ”

"Infantry unarmoured—" The order was immediately transmitted.

The soldiers and infantry cut the ties on their armor with their blades as they walked, and soon the armor of the soldiers fell into the muddy water, and the men behind them stepped on them, trampling them into the muddy water, and then the soldiers advanced with only shields and weapons, which was much easier.

At this time, the Song army had also completed the preparations, and Shen Qingyi ordered: "The front army advances!" ”

Whether it was the heavy infantry deployed on the official road or the light armored infantry deployed on both flanks, they all advanced together when they were ordered to move forward, and the heavy infantry stepped on the neat steps, only to see the ground shaking and dust.

The light armored infantry on both wings also carried their shields and weapons and walked down the paddy fields, and each of them met the cadres on the opposite side in a dense formation.

After the former army had all gone down to the paddy field, Shen Qing ordered: "The crossbowmen come forward!" ”

The crossbow phalanx came to the edge of the field with neat steps, and Shen Qing gave an order: "Release the arrows-"

"Shoot the arrows—"

There was a muffled sound of "buzz", and countless arrows flew into the sky and shot at the infantry of the cadre army.

Most of them fell in the paddy fields in front of the two armies, and the arrows were drowned by the seedlings.

The second wave of arrows still fell in place, but two rows of soldiers of the Qianjun army had already entered the firing range, but everyone had already raised their shields in front of them and above their heads, and a large number of arrows were blocked by shields.

The first general of the Dragon Guard Army ran over and reported to Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, the first building of the Dragon Guard Army is ready!" ”

Zhao Junsheng looked at it, raised his hand and waved forward: "Don't wait any longer, I order you to lead your troops to attack, crush all the enemy troops on the official road for me, and crush them into powder!" ”

"Command!"

The official road is not spacious, and a row of six riders has already crowded the entire official road, and there is no room for any more rides.

"All the soldiers of the first building of the Dragon Guard Army obey the order and get on the horse!" The first general shouted loudly and stepped on the stirrup on the horse.

More than 300 soldiers of the Dragon Guard Army mounted their horses together, and the sound of armor and weapons rubbing and colliding rattled.

"Riding a gun ready—"

Another roar came, and the more than 300 soldiers of the Dragon Guard who had already mounted the horse quickly loaded the tail of the spear into the sleeve, which was made of double cowhide, and then tied to the side of the horse with ox tendon.

In the past, if the cavalry's charging tactical quality was not properly trained, not only would it be useless to kill the enemy, but it would also make its arms and arms useless in holding the spear, because the powerful impact force when charging is not at all what one arm can bear.

A well-trained and tactically skilled cavalryman will be able to release his spear the moment he stabs the enemy's body during the charge and use a short weapon instead, and if he does not abandon the spear at the first time he stabs the enemy's body, the entire arm will be destroyed by the powerful impact force.

In view of this, Zhao Junsheng added such a device to the cavalry - the cowhide sleeve, put the tail of the spear into it and tie it to the war horse, when charging, the powerful impact will be transferred by the cowhide sleeve to the war horse, and will not be borne by the knight, the knight only needs to hold the gun to grasp the direction, forward, left or right, the heavy armored cavalry equipped with this cowhide sleeve is a real tank, can rampage.

The length of the cavalry spear reaches more than four meters, even if the body of the war horse is two meters long, the cavalry lance can stretch out more than two meters than the horse's head, such a long distance is enough for the knight to use the sprint speed of the war horse to arbitrarily adjust the direction of the spear head to kill the enemy, and sometimes a cavalry lance can even string the corpses of several enemy soldiers.

The first general will look back, the command of more than 300 horsemen have all been prepared, all of them put the cavalry gun into the cowhide sleeve, the head of the gun head is inclined upward, this is to sprint without hurting the comrades in front, once the front becomes an enemy, the knights will instantly press down the gun, so that the gun is parallel to the ground or lower, whether it is cavalry or infantry, can attack.

"Attack-" The first general roared, raised his spear and pointed forward, "Charge with me—drive—"

"Rush—" The first row yelled, followed by the generals, and the second row also yelled, following closely behind.

Row after row, without stopping in the middle, the distance between the front and rear rows is several horse bodies, in the process of charging, the front and rear rows always maintain enough spacing to prevent rear-end collisions, so that even if the front rider stops, the rear rider has enough reaction events and deceleration distance.

The strength of one building, more than 300 cavalry, six or seven in each platoon, and more than 50 platoons, opened up the distance and discharged more than a mile when charging.

"Boom ······" A large number of horses' hooves sounded on the official road, and the horses' hooves trampled on the dust, making the dust rise on this section of the official road.

"Kill-" The cavalry of the Dragon Guard Army of the Qianjun Army accelerated their horses and sprinted, while shouting loudly to kill, coupled with the sound of horses' hooves, the ground shook violently, and the momentum was extremely huge, and the momentum like Mount Tai pressed straight towards the Song Army's heavy infantry on the official road opposite.

"I say, heavy armor iron horse!" The light reflected by the armor of the cavalry of the Qianjun army who rushed opposite the former army master of the Song army screamed, his face was solemn, and he saw that the soldiers under his command around him trembled with fright, and immediately shouted: "Shield-stand!" ”

The heavy infantry of the Song army, who heard the order, immediately half-squatted on the ground and put their shields in front of them.

I heard the Song Army's heavy infantry master shout again: "Spear - stand!" ”

"Boom ······" Nearly 2,000 heavy infantry of the Song army quickly stuck their spears diagonally into the ground, and the head of the spear was diagonally upward.

The powerful momentum came to the face, the heavy armored infantry of the Song army turned pale and trembled all over, these infantry were facing the heavy armored iron cavalry of the dry army for the first time, just like a person standing on the street, and a car on the opposite side accelerated to rush, in this situation, no one can remain calm, these people are already well-trained if they are not frightened and collapsed on the spot.

As the heavy armored iron cavalry of the Long Guard Army of the Dry Army rushed closer and closer, the momentum became bigger and bigger, the momentum became more and more majestic, and the ground shook more and more, in order to give themselves courage, the heavy armored infantry of the Song Army shouted involuntarily one by one: "Ah-"

One by one, they kept roaring, the blue tendons on their foreheads and arms burst out, some people had the courage to stare at the heavy armored cavalry of the cadre army rushing over, and some people were so timid that they couldn't help but close their eyes.

"Bang Bang Bang ······"

The heavy armored iron cavalry of the cadre army did not hesitate to collide with the spear of the heavy armored soldiers of the Song army, and the weak point of the vest of some war horses just hit the head of the spear, and the spear penetrated the body of the war horse, but the strong impact force and speed still hit it, and directly knocked over several heavy armored infantry of the Song army in succession.

Some of the spears of the Song army hit the thick cuirass of the war horse, not only did they not pierce the cuirass of the war horse, but the spears were broken by the collision, and the heavy cavalry of the cadres turned around without hindrance, "Bang Bang Bang Bang ······" A company of several Song army heavy infantry with shields and people were knocked away.

"Puff, puff, puff······" The cavalry spears of the heavy cavalry of the Qianjun army were definitely not good, and a second before the collision occurred, the first row of cavalry quickly pressed down the spear head, which was slightly lower than the parallel line to the ground, and in the process of high-speed collision, many cavalry spears pierced the shield and the body of the Song army's heavy infantry like a piece of paper.

Even a cavalryman stabbed several people in a row, stringing them like a string of sugar gourds on the barrel of the gun, but there were also cavalrymen whose rifles broke at the first moment of impact.

The same dense Song army's heavy armored infantry formation was broken through the direction at the first time under the charge of the heavy armored iron cavalry of the cadre army, and the front rows suffered heavy casualties, and even many people were knocked into the paddy fields next to them.

The first row of cavalry had just fallen into the Song army, and the second platoon rushed over, and the collision of the horses, the piercing of the cavalry, and the trampling of the horses' hooves all had a powerful killing effect.

The heavy armored iron cavalry of the cadre army was like the waves of the sea, rushing over wave after wave, without stopping, and the heavy armored infantry of the Song army were rushed down in rows, and a large number of crashes, shouts and screams were intertwined, so that this official road was covered with corpses in a few breaths.
