Chapter 1004: Crushing

"Third brother!"

Looking at the two armies galloping forward and backward, Lu Yue shouted to Lu Chuan: "Look at ......, which one do you want to choose?" ”

"I see? That's a reinforcement, of course! Lu Chuan said politely.

Lu Yue was not surprised, and he did not have any doubts about Lu Chuan's decision. It seems that it is only natural for Lu Chuan to eat nearly three times the enemy army on the opposite side with only 2,000 guards under his command.

"You are the elder brother, you have the final say!" This is the first wave, and Lu Yue obeyed directly.

Lu Chuan returned to his own army with a smile, and fought against more than 5,000 enemy troops with 2,000 protectors, but he didn't feel the slightest pressure!

Cheng Min, the commander of the escort army, was also full of confidence, pointed to the reinforcements in the distance and said: "The Rus people are not good at horse shooting, and their armaments are poor, and they fight hand-to-hand sprints. It is far from our army, although the number is numerous, it is really vulnerable! ”

As a half-hundred-year-old veteran, Sung Min has good reason to despise the Rus. The military system of this principality is really primitive and ridiculous compared to the Central Plains. Neither the mobilization ability nor the overall strength is generally poor.

Moreover, the enemies of the Rus' people mainly came from the Kupchak Khanate in the southeast, and the nomads of the steppes came to raid from time to time, but in terms of culture and civilization, they were deeply influenced by the Byzantines. As a result, their cavalry was equipped with both Eastern and Byzantine features: chain mail with a turban, crusty scale armor with bubble nails, oriental swords, and Byzantine-style helmets and riding shields.

Such equipment is not inferior to the cavalry strength of any country in Europe, and the results of the Battle of Lake Chud in history show everything. After being ravaged by the Mongols, the Rus' still had the strength to repair the Northern Crusaders of the HRE, but this strength was far worse than Lu Qi's elite iron cavalry.

Wearing the simple plate armor of the super era, the horse of Central and Western Asia under the crotch, the trained and strict and hard-working Lu Chuan Protector, the hand-to-hand combat ability can completely crush the opponent. Not to mention that they still have a bow under their saddle!

As his son's escort and the pillar force for them to suppress the fiefdom when they became adults, Lu Qian has made a bloody investment.

At least 500 of the 2,000 guards were from the Boy Scouts, and those people were taken in by the Lu Qi Dynasty since they were children, and it was the Lu Emperor who gave them a new life, and everyone was a die-hard supporter of the Lu Qi Dynasty. And they have lived under military control since childhood, and at least ten years of military camp career have engraved the word 'discipline' into their bones.

In terms of military skills, swords, guns, bows, horses, firearms, foot battles, and horse warfare are all skillful.

In a sense, these people are the most feared and elite fighters in the world today. Whether it is physical energy or combat skills, they are at the peak of their lives. If they are placed in the army of Lu Qi, they can become qualified grassroots officers.

In this case, Lu Qian's son's protector can be seen how terrifying its powerful combat power is.

As the master of this army, as the commander of this army, Lu Chuan and Cheng Min are ghosts if they are still afraid of the enemy in front of them!

"Wang Sheng!" The latter is the left deputy commander of the Protector. Lu Chuan held the horsewhip in his hand and pointed forward: "You take the left battalion forward." Let the Rus' know we're great with a bow and crossbow first! Then go around the front,"

The Lu Chuan Protector, who had been waiting outside the city of Bolgar for many days, was full of horsepower. Directly hit the past, and you can smoothly crush the enemy. But in doing so, there will be no fewer casualties. Lu Chuan is reluctant to sacrifice his elite in vain!

Most of the Rus cavalry in front of him were wearing armor, and they were not those unarmored light cavalry of the Bolgars!

"The last general commands!" Wang Sheng clenched his fists and shouted. led a battalion of iron horsemen out on horseback.

When the Kiev reinforcements on the opposite side saw it, they didn't take Wang Shengjun seriously, and a noble officer shouted loudly and led seven or eight hundred horsemen to meet him.

After seeing Lu Qijun's response, they took it for granted that Lu Chuan and Lu Yue were fighting cross-fertilly. Resist them with a small number of forces, and use superior forces to defeat the Bulgars first, and then encircle them......

The intention is reasonable, and the battle situation is fair, because for them, it is the same opportunity. It's just a matter of who can beat their opponents first.

"Shoot the arrows—"

The sun shone on Wang Sheng's body, and the silk robe outside the plate armor flashed a flowing luster in the sunlight. At the age of more than forty, he has already frosted his temples, and his thin and sallow face is full of wrinkles, but his hands are very strong and powerful, covered with hard calluses. The eyebrows are thick and neat, the eyes are delicate, and the fingers are thick, especially the iron ring wrench that wraps around the thumb of the right hand. He is a well-known marksman in the Guardian Army, and he can fight anywhere within a hundred paces!

Hanging from the Victory Hook is a tiger-headed broadsword, which is his best companion on the battlefield.

Plumes of arrows flew up from the sky above the Lu Qi army, as if they were swarms of flying locusts, and the arrows flickered in the sun, rushing towards the Rus' cavalry from Kiev.

The Rus cavalry, seventy or eighty paces away, seemed to have been pushed by an invisible giant hand, and the cavalry in the front row charged with momentum in an instant.

Dead, wounded, human or war-horse, even if the latter has raised their shields, but the shields can only cover the upper body.

The officers and men of the left battalion shot three rounds of arrows as fast as they could, which naturally caused a certain amount of damage to the Rus cavalry, not to mention that there were also these explosive arrows among the arrows that were shot out - that is, they were tied to the pole under the arrows with a small bag of powder.

This kind of arrow is not very lethal, more just to hear a sound. But the effect on animals is not small! Especially war horses that have not undergone rigorous training.

And here in Rus, although they have long heard of the name of artillery musketeer grenades, they have really not seen it with their own eyes.

Besides, the Rus people have been fighting happily in recent years, and their sensitivity to the outside world is really not high. In terms of keeping pace with the times in terms of weapons and warfare, it is a big step behind.

In this way, you will be sinned. One by one, the horses rushed in fright, and the entire queue immediately became a mess.

"Rush—"

Wang Sheng didn't expect that the horse army on the opposite side would be so bad, but the enemy was unlucky, that is, he took advantage. I found the fighter plane in no time!

At the moment, he left all the original ideas behind, and only raised his big knife and slashed forward.

There was no impassioned pre-war encouragement, and he was just a word for "rush" here. Because the soldiers behind him no longer need to use uplifting words to boost morale!

It only takes a single word "rush" to condense everyone's fighting spirit!

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Countless horses' hooves galloped. Wang Sheng personally led the front of the left battalion to charge at the front, and it was too late to integrate the queue and discharge the formation like a wall, which was to simply close the queue inward. That's enough!

As the fast horse galloped, Lu Qitie's cavalry quickly approached under the frightened eyes of the Rus cavalry. Wang Sheng's big sword fell, slashing the back of Pegasus with a blow from an oncoming knight.

The former hundred horsemen effortlessly pierced the chaotic Rus' cavalry, and the Slavs were not unbrave. However, having lost the opportunity, the queue was chaotic, and the speed was greatly slowed down, they had already lost the capital to confront the left camp head-on.

Wang Sheng easily slaughtered out of the array, and looking back, the seven or eight hundred Rus cavalry had already been smashed like a big watermelon on the ground.
