(Thank you Junzi Bai, the fish will cry for the monthly ticket support of the two classmates, thank you!) ）

A whole night passed, and the bloody battle reached dawn.

Both the Shatuo Black Crow Army and the Zhenguo Army were exhausted, but the situation of the battle had fallen to the side of the Zhenguo Army. The Shatuo people had no way to retreat, and the Yellow River was behind them, and they were intercepted by a fleet. Although the Zhenguo army in front was also exhausted, this was not all of the Zhenguo army.

When the belly of the fish in the east is exposed, the morning light and the first rays of light fall.

At this time, Li Jing finally transferred the 8,000 cavalry who had been waiting for battle to the battlefield.

The east and west gates of Feng'an City suddenly opened, and two rolling torrents gushed out like a flood that broke the embankment, and eight thousand Tang cavalry set out. The cavalry poured out from the city gates on both sides, and the rear of the cavalry bypassed the infantry formation in front of the south gate and rushed directly towards the Shatuo cavalry.

Yu Xuan, who was watching the battle at the head of the city, suddenly looked at the cavalry under the city in surprise and suddenly divided into three parts, the red sun jumped out, and under the first rays of golden light of the morning sun, the three cavalry wore completely different armor.

All the way on the left, wearing red robes and armor, and waving red banners, Yu Xuan recognized at a glance that this was the 3,000 cavalry of the Zhenwu Army and the Tiande Army. On the right side, it was all silver, silver armor, silver robes, silver cloaks, and even the helmets were silver.

"That's the three cavalry battalions of silver saddle, silver spear, and white horse, all silver, the three elite light cavalry battalions of our army!" Li Jing followed Yu Xuan's hand and smiled lightly to answer the teacher.

"And what about the cavalry in the middle?"

Yu Xuan pointed to the cavalry that ran through like a torrent, but they were as black as the Shatuo people.

Black flag, black armor, black robe!

Li Jing looked at the cavalry force, which only had two thousand men. Proudly and with a hint of pride: "That's the Xuanjia Heavy Rider!" ”

Yu Xuan's eyes widened when he heard this. Turning his head and trying to look at the cavalry under the city. After a while, he said in a trembling voice: "When did you actually equip a heavy horse, why did you never see you use it when you were in Hedong?" ”

Xuanjia heavy cavalry, this is Li Jing's newly formed cavalry unit, drawn from the original cavalry, the establishment of 2,000 horses, all the knights are the most elite cavalry, all the horses are all black war horses. Their equipment is even better. Because of the reloading of their equipment.

Heavy cavalry, that is, armored cavalry.

The armor of the horse is divided into the "face curtain" that protects the horse's head, the "chicken neck" that protects the horse's neck, the "dang chest" that protects the horse's chest, the "horse body armor" that protects the horse's body, the "hitch" that protects the horse's hips, and the "parasitic" that stands on the horse's hips and the knight's back.

Heavy cavalry, which reached its peak during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, was in large-scale battles. It is a powerful military that can be won in one blow and has the power to determine the situation on the battlefield. And the Xuanjia Army is an elite cavalry army formed by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.

Because the armor of this cavalry is black. Therefore, it is called the Xuanjia Army. As the strongest force of Tang Taizong, the Xuanjia Army can be ranked as one of the top ten cavalry units among the cavalry of all dynasties, and it is extremely strong.

In history, the Qin Dynasty elected more than 1,000 elite horsemen, all dressed in armor, and divided into left and right teams, so that Qin Shubao, Cheng Zhijie, Wei Chi Jingde, and Zhai Changsun were divided into generals. In every battle, the people of the world were taken as the vanguard by the Xuanjia Shuai, taking the opportunity to attack, and everything was destroyed, and the enemy was afraid of it.

The Xuanjia Army was split after Taizong's accession to the throne, expanded when it came to the Empress Wu, and reorganized during the Xuanzong period, but the elite of the most Lu Dynasty eventually became an ornament and completely lost its combat effectiveness.

Heavy cavalry, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, heavy cavalry has been slowly declining, in the past as a decisive victory in the battle of the key to the strength of the horse, but after the heavy cavalry needs high equipment, extremely high soldier quality, and good horses, so that the heavy cavalry gradually withdrew from the battle stage.

In addition to the guards in Chang'an, there are also some heavy cavalry, and the entire Tang Dynasty has no heavy cavalry. Now the strongest is the Shatuo cavalry, and then the Hu cavalry of various tribes, they are all light cavalry.

At the peak of the hoplites, all countries in the dynasties had ironclad cavalry, even a lot of them, and the hoplites shocked the world with their terrible impact and destructive power, which was chilling. The attacks of the heavily armed Iron Cavalry can often defeat opponents ten times their size, and the formation collapses. More than 200 years ago, Tang Taizong Li Shimin's Xuanjia heavy cavalry only had 1,000 soldiers and horses, and he used 1,000 Xuanjia elite soldiers to defeat Wang Shichong and behead more than 6,000 prisoners. In the battle of Tiger Prison Pass, which decided the ownership of the world, Dou Jiande led more than 100,000 elite main forces to support Wang Shichong, and Li Shimin only used 3,500 elite soldiers, including 1,000 Xuanjia cavalry, to reinforce Tiger Prison Pass, and as a result, Dou Jiande broke more than 100,000 people, and Dou Jiande only led hundreds of horsemen to escape

But with the passage of time, after the Tang Dynasty dominated the world, the Xuanjia cavalry was split into two, partly as Taizong's guard, and partly handed over to Li Jing to lead the defeat of the Turks, which played a mainstay role in that battle.

But then the Tang Dynasty was peaceful, and the war was concentrated in the frontier. The cost of equipment is too great, and the second is not suitable for being transferred to the frontier to face the enemy, and over time, it gradually becomes useless, and it is forgotten at the end.

The cost of training equipment for one light cavalry can train and equip five infantrymen. And the cost of training and equipping one heavy cavalry can equip five light cavalry.

Therefore, even if the feudal towns are constantly divided, I have not yet seen a single commander willing to pay the equivalent of five times the price of light cavalry, or the price of twenty-five infantry, to train armed heavy cavalry.

Others think that the heavy cavalry has long been outdated, but Li Jing believes that on the battlefield of the Central Plains, an elite heavy cavalry, although it is more expensive, is the sharpest combat knife, which can play a role in influencing the situation of the battle at a critical time. The plan for the heavy cavalry was already in Li Jing's heart, and he had already secretly started to build the armored cavalry armor and cavalry equipment for the heavy cavalry, and it had not been built until he sent troops to Hedong.

Just when Li Guochang was captured, the 2,000 sets of armor and riding equipment from Dengzhou were all built, and the excited Li Jing immediately asked people to transport them to Hedong. During this time, after selection, two thousand elite cavalry were finally selected to form the Xuanjia Army. However, because Chang'an had a Xuanjia army, and this army was built by Emperor Taizong himself, Li Jing did not dare to openly use this name. Therefore, Li Jing awarded these 2,000 heavily armored cavalry the military title of "Black Flag Army".

Directly awarded the military number, this is the first unit with a military horn below since the Zhenguo Army was promoted to the town. The first Black Flag Army made countless generals stare at this position, but Li Jing was very unceremonious and concurrently served as the first Black Flag Military Envoy. After Li Jing considered the position of the deputy military envoy for a long time, he promoted Gao Shunli to the deputy military envoy, with 2,000 soldiers and horses, and set up ten capitals and two battalions, Zhou Dewei served as the commander of the left battalion, and Li Juyi was appointed as the commander of the right battalion. The positions of the ten generals below were promoted to the positions of the six disciples this time, and the remaining four were selected from the cavalry to serve as four people who had both military merits and prestige.

The iron armor of the knights of the Black Flag Army did not choose the kind of Mingguang armor that the Xuanjia Army was equipped with, but was equipped with two pieces of armor, one was Shanwen armor, and a rope armor was also equipped on the outside. The helmet is made of phoenix wings with a full folding style. Coupled with the black robes and black cloaks, gray tassels, and black war horses and vests that straddle down, they are darker than the Shatuo Black Crow Army.

This was the first appearance of the Black Flag Army, and Li Jing was full of confidence in this army.

The 2,000 ironclad cavalry, all dressed in black armor, with black helmets on their helmets, and specially equipped bayonet spears on their heads, quickly and completely prepared for the attack under the city, forming a formation of 20 teams, and 20 teams were arranged in a formation of 23456 to form a sharp arrow charging formation.

The sky is getting brighter and brighter, the red sun in the east has already jumped out, and the golden light of the morning sun reflects the cavalry under Feng'an City, reflecting a faint light. A gentle breeze blew through the warriors' heads.

Gao Shun encouraged his horse to stand in front of the formation, and his heart was full of excitement to be able to serve as the deputy envoy of the most elite ace division of the Zhenguo army.

Looking at the already exhausted Shatuo army in front, Gao Shunli's mood slowly calmed down. He raised his right hand high, and the cavalry behind him fell silent. Suddenly, the raised right hand pressed down hard. The knights let out a deafening roar: "Where the black flag goes, the battle is invincible!" ”

Gao Shunli put down the visor armor on his helmet and hid his entire face under the armor. Through the two thin holes in the visor, he locked his eyes on the Shatuo cavalry, waved the horse lance in his hand forward, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and the war horse galloped out violently.

Two thousand ironclad cavalry saddled and jumped on their horses, and the torrent of iron cavalry rushed from the flank to the Shatuo cavalry who were still fighting with the infantry of the Zhenguo Army, and the sound of horses' hooves roared like thunder.

Although the other party is such a world-famous black crow army, the newly formed ironclad cavalry is not afraid at all.

Today is the day when the Black Flag Army will end the Black Crow Army. From now on, the name of the world's first cavalry army will belong to the Black Flag Army.

In the direction of the Black Flag Army's impact was the left flank led by Sha Tuo Feihu Zigai's residence, and because of the closest, he was the first to feel the great deterrence and terrifying momentum brought by this also black-clothed four-armored cavalry. The Crows were an elite army that had been battle-hardened, and they were not afraid of any enemy. But now, when they couldn't take the opposing infantry formation after a night of onslaught, and the enemy had slaughtered such a powerful ironclad cavalry, the Crows felt fear and panic for the first time.

Between the ranks of the ironclad army, in the roar, people can always feel the terrifying fighting spirit like a lion and a tiger, which makes the oncoming black crow army tremble!

Gai Yu was riding on a horse, the hand holding the sword in his hand was already trembling, he was too tired, too tired, the Tang army in front of him was like an insurmountable mountain, and now, the Zhenguo army actually killed an ironclad cavalry, and in an instant, Gai Yu's mind was confused.

Shatuo, is he really going to perish, and where will his way out? (To be continued......)
