The cavalry army of this era is still in the stage of development that has just begun, although the arrival of the plateau has accelerated the development of the cavalry for hundreds of years, so that the cavalry has truly become the king of the battlefield, but after all, the time is not long, although the plateau has also used the cavalry to fight a lot of victories, so that the Qin army has also fully modified the horse furniture, but it has not yet had a revolutionary impact on the military of this era. Therefore, the father and son of Meng Wu and Meng Tian still had very little experience in the training, establishment, use, and tactics of the cavalry, and even in the assembly, logistics, and support of the cavalry. But the cavalry that appeared in front of their father and son this time still made their father and son feel that they had never seen it before.

Because this cavalry army was completely different from the cavalry they had seen before, not only were the men and horses covered with a layer of bronze armor, which dragged down to the legs of the war horses, but even the faces of the people and the heads of the war horses were covered with bronze masks, only the eyes were exposed, and it looked as if they were all made of bronze. In addition, I don't know if it was an illusion, or because the men and horses were wearing armor, I felt that this group of cavalry was obviously much taller than ordinary cavalry.

However, although Meng Wu and Meng Tian's father and son have never seen such a cavalry army, they can also see that the men and horses are wearing bronze armor, so the defense is naturally much stronger than the ordinary cavalry, and the general bow and arrow may not be of much use to them, and the huge size of the war horse means that the strength of the war horse after sprinting up is amazing, even compared with the horse chariot, it is not too much, so it can also be said that the attack and defense of such a cavalry are far higher than that of ordinary cavalry. I can't imagine that Gao Yuan still has such a hand at this time.

And Meng Tian couldn't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately, he didn't have the impulse to leave the warriors of the Kuafu clan, if he didn't hold back just now and sent the warriors of the Kuafu clan to fight, then he could only rely on ordinary infantry to resist the impact of this cavalry, although Meng Tian had never seen the impact of this cavalry, but he could imagine it with his eyes closed, ordinary infantry could not resist it at all, and even if it was a warrior of the Kuafu clan, to be honest, Meng Tian didn't have much confidence in his heart now, so he could only pray silently in his heart, The warriors of the Kwafu clan were able to live up to their expectations.

This cavalry army is, of course, the heavily armored cavalry army that the Dai Army has just formed.

Although there are only 3,000 heavy armored cavalry troops, all the soldiers are strictly selected from the cavalry of the Dai Army, even if they are not experienced in a hundred battles, but they are also experienced in the battlefield for a long time, and they are very rich in combat experience and cavalry experience, so it can be said that they are a new old army.

The armor used by the heavy armored cavalry is composed of, in addition to the bronze armor, there are two layers of leather armor, and the war horse is carefully selected from the more than 300,000 war horses raised by Daijun, which can be said to be worthy of the name One in a hundred, and the selected are tall and strong large war horses, which is due to the war horses used for the heavy armored cavalry, it is natural to choose tall and strong horses, which can not only bear the weight of the heavy armor, but also strengthen the impact of the cavalry. So, of course, it looks a lot higher than the average cavalry.

The heavy armored cavalry has actually been formed for more than half a year, but it has been hidden by the plateau snow, and it has not been sent to the battlefield until now, and the soldiers have been waiting for a long time, so at this time, they are all full of energy, high morale, and full of confidence, but after all, they have undergone strict training, and they are not too excited, but they can still control the war horse and move forward slowly.

Although each war horse is carefully selected, the weight bearing capacity is much stronger than the average war horse, but the weight on the back is also much greater than the average war horse, so to save horsepower, without entering a certain distance, it is not possible to make a high-speed sprint. And this also made Gao Yuan very relieved, it seems that they are not too excited.

In fact, at this time, the heavy armored cavalry was dispatched, and the plateau was somewhat helpless, because the Qin army's Kuafu warriors were still in the formation, and the plateau had made several arrangements, hoping that the Qin army would send the Kuafu soldiers to fight, and then use the light cavalry army's swimming tactics to contain the Kuafu soldiers, and then dispatch the heavy armored cavalry to attack the main formation of the Qin army, and had been trying their best to avoid fighting hard with the Kuafu soldiers.

This is not to say that Gao Yuan is afraid of the strength of the warriors of the Kuabu clan, but to avoid or lure away strong opponents, and seize the weakness of the enemy army to attack, this is the most basic element of using soldiers, and no one will want to fight hard with a strong enemy.

But the Qin army did not send the Kuafu warriors to fight, and the war developed step by step, and the army must launch a comprehensive attack on the main formation of the Qin army, but at this time to launch a full-scale attack, it means to use the heavy armored cavalry to fight hard with the Kuafu soldiers, the plateau is not an indecisive person, when it is time to fight, will never hesitate, so the plateau ordered to dispatch the heavy armored cavalry, like the Qin army's array to launch the most rearly attack.

The 3,000 heavy armored cavalry took 150 people in a row, a total of 20 rows, and spread horizontally for a distance of more than 200 steps, and behind the heavy armored cavalry, followed by 2,000 female troops, waiting for the heavy armored cavalry to tear apart the enemy's line and disrupt the enemy's array, continue to follow up and expand the results. However, whether the heavy armored cavalry can break through the defense line composed of Kuafu warriors, Gao Yuan has no bottom in his heart, so he can only fight hard.

It can be said that this battle has entered the most critical moment, both sides have played all the cards in their hands, and what they can do now is to wait for the final result.

―――――――― dividing line――――――――― dividing line―――――――― although the heavy armored cavalry of the era army has not completely sprinted, just running in small steps, but because it is relatively close to the array of the Qin army at this time, as long as the person who is not bad at sight, he can clearly see the appearance of the representative army, although the Qin army has never seen such an army, but most of the soldiers of the Qin army are veterans of the battlefield, and they can instinctively feel it, with the approach of this cavalry army, The atmosphere in the air seemed to have become solemn, and I didn't feel my heart beating faster, and even my breathing was much faster.

When the heavy armored cavalry of the Dai army entered within 200 steps of the Qin army's array, and at this time, the speed of the small steps of the war horses gradually accelerated, the rise and fall of the horses' hooves were rapid, making a dull trampling sound, and the dust soldiers were gradually raised, covering the day, and at this time, the trebuchets and crossbows on the chariots of the Qin army also started one after another, attacking the heavy armored cavalry.

As the blows of the chariots unfolded, the stones and arrows were thrown and shot out by the strings, and flew into the sky, and after reaching the highest critical point, they began to fall, and hit the heavy armored cavalry of the Dai Army. But because the speed of the army in this era is not too fast, the cavalry behind can still dodge in time and will not be knocked down by the men and horses who fell to the ground in front.

Of course, it is impossible for the cavalry behind to completely avoid it, so it is inevitable that the fallen men and horses will be trampled on a few feet by the war horses behind, and at this time, life and death can only be left to fate.

However, the only chariots that can strike at a distance of 200 steps are thunderbolts or arrow carts, and other chariots cannot be hit, but at this time, a considerable part of the chariots are arranged in the front of the Qin army, and there are less than 100 thunderbolts and arrow chariots arranged in the rear, which are distributed on the defense line of more than 200 steps, so the strike strength is not strong. Moreover, compared with the usual trebuchets and bed crossbows, the thunderbolts and arrow-killing vehicles are very powerful, and the heavy armor of the soldiers and horses of the Dai Army, there are many Dai soldiers who raised their shields to parry, and the actual losses are negligible, and the Qin army has two or three rounds of long-range strikes, and the losses of the Dai army are only a few dozen people.

At this time, the Dai army in the front row had already entered within 100 steps of the Qin army's array, and the war horse that had been pressing the speed was finally completely liberated and began to run in stride, as if it was a savage giant beast from the wilderness, rushing towards the Qin army with an incomparable momentum. The sound of the horse's hooves striking the earth was more rapid and dense, like thunder, and even the earth seemed to tremble. Even the warriors of the Kuafu clan, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, were shocked by this momentum, and they couldn't help but feel their hearts beat faster and their breath thicker.

Within 100 steps, it is also the javelin shooting of the warriors of the Kuafu clan, and the warriors of the Kuafu clan have already been prepared, and many of the giant palms that hold the barrel of the gun are already sweating in their hearts, and now they are finally waiting for the opportunity to shoot, and the first row of the Kuafu warriors immediately ran forward a few steps, and then suddenly twisted their arms and waved their strength, and threw the javelin in their hands fiercely.

But almost at the same time, the heavy armored cavalry of the Dai army also launched their own attack with crossbow arrows, and the Dai army used the crossbow.

The crossbow is the longest-range, the most powerful individual long-range strike weapon, you must step on the crossbow with your foot, to be able to pull away, its effective range can reach more than 150 steps, and within 100 steps, it can penetrate almost any piece of armor, and the penetration of double thick armor is also more than 50%. Not only is it extremely expensive, but also the process is complex, and it cannot be assembled on a large scale in the army. Even with the strong national strength of the Qin State, there were only more than 20,000 crossbows. Daijun is even less, and so far only more than 6,000 have been manufactured, and the heavily armored cavalry has only assembled 1,500 crossbows.

In fact, although there are crossbow arrows in the standard assembly of the heavy armored cavalry, they are not crossbows, because the heavy armored cavalry does not rely on long-range strikes after all, but a type of troops that launch a frontal charge at the enemy's ground.

But the plateau takes into account the strong strength of the Kwafu warriors, and the long-range strike ability of the heavy armored cavalry should also be strengthened, after all, the frontal charge is to close the distance, and in the process of charging, the heavy cavalry must first carry the enemy's blow, if it is an ordinary opponent, it is just that, but in the face of such a strong opponent as the Kwafu warriors, the plateau does not dare to take it lightly, so it is still equipped with 1,500 crossbows for the heavy armored cavalry, which are used by the first five rows of knights who charge, each with two crossbows, and the crossbow strings have been pulled apart before the battle. Put on the crossbow arrows, just wait for you to come within 100 paces, and start a long-range strike against the enemy.

Although Gao Yuan has always avoided a frontal battle with the Kwabu warriors, he has always regarded the Kwabu warriors as an imaginary enemy for a frontal hard battle, and has made a lot of preparations.
