488, duel three
When Yun Congfeng came back with the news, Li Jingxu's wolf tooth army was already less than ten miles away from Dongyuan Slope, when he understood the layout of Sun Shanxiong, Li Jingxu haha, ordered the whole army to rush forward, and after staying outside the valley, the whole army began to set up, these old positions only then opened the carriages of the army one by one, and saw the things pulled on the carriages, Liu Xuan and Yun Congfeng were not calm. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Every iron army does not come out of thin air, it has special conditions that other armies do not have, just like the War Dragon Legion, which is an irreproducible plate cavalry, if the heavy armored cavalry is already the nightmare of the vast majority of infantry, then the War Dragon Legion is the nightmare of all arms, including the heavy armored cavalry.
The heavy armored cavalry under the command of Sun Shanxiong, the knights are all one of the strength cavalry, not only the people are high and heavy, but the war horses are the same, not to mention the super spears in their hands that far exceed the ordinary soldiers, just the fish scale armor on their bodies, the knights and the fish scale armor worn by the war horses are added together, the weight alone is thirty or forty pounds, plus weapons and other preparations, the weight of a heavy armored cavalry is close to one hundred pounds, otherwise how to say that once the heavy armored cavalry gets on the horse, he does not dare to easily get off the horse to rest, once he gets off the horse, just this body is burdened, he wants to get on the horse is difficult。
The War Dragon Legion is even more different, the war horses are all cultivated by medicine, and they are completely consumed for life force in battle, the plate armor used by the soldiers of the War Dragon Legion has already reached a hundred catties when the plate armor is loaded, plus the armor of the war horse, adding up to far more than three hundred catties, such a defensive preparation, not to mention weapons such as bows and arrows, ordinary soldiers just let you cut with a knife, you may not be able to break their defense.
But their understanding of the Wolf Tooth Army is only heard, after all, the real Wolf Tooth Army no longer exists, and the current Wolf Tooth Army is just a name controlled by the royal family, and it is not comparable to the real Wolf Tooth Army in terms of combat effectiveness or fighting style.
But if you think that Li Jingxu's wolf tooth is the wolf tooth army, it is not right, Li Jingxu himself also said that his wolf tooth is only a part of the wolf tooth army, so it can only show a one-sided side of the wolf tooth army, but there is one thing Li Jingxu is very proud of, that is, what he said is what he values the most, the military soul of the wolf tooth army, that is, the strongest defense of the Qin army.
When Li Jingxu and their equipment were taken down from the carriage, Liu Xuan and Yun Congfeng were really dumbfounded, it was a shield the size of a door panel, this shield was five inches thick, and it was made of two layers of iron bin, which was said to be not weaker than steel, wrapped in a layer of steel plates about an inch thick.
Liu Xuan tried to pick up a huge shield and weigh it, the weight of this giant shield is at least close to a hundred catties, and the difficulty is to be pulled by a horse, if each of these veterans holds such a hundred heavy shields, I am afraid that they will not be able to walk two miles, and they will have no combat effectiveness.
Liu Xuan picked it up and found that there were nine evenly distributed holes on the shield surface of these heavy shields, each of which was the thickness of an egg, seeing Liu Xuan confused, a veteran beside him smiled, and then picked up a three-foot-long spike from the carriage, these spikes are all made of metal, this spike alone can already be used as a weapon, there is a spiral card slot at the root of the spike, and the veteran picks it up and puts it in the hole of the heavy shield and rotates it, only to hear a click, the spike seems to grow on the heavy shield.
When the veteran stuck all the nine spikes on the heavy shield, Liu Xuan understood that these nine spikes were the miniature version of the horse rejection, no wonder it was known as the cavalry nemesis, such a heavy shield went to the ground, and the whole person hid behind the heavy shield, whether it was the cavalry's spear or bow and arrow, there was no way to take them, no wonder it was called the cavalry nemesis.
But the heavy armored cavalry under Sun Shanxiong is a heavy armored cavalry, although these heavy shields look hideous and scary, but it is really hard to say what kind of effect the heavy armored cavalry will be, Liu Xuan came to Li Jingxu's side and arched his hand at Li Jingxu, "Old general, this kind of heavy shield that rejects horses is indeed a sharp weapon against cavalry, but the other party is a heavy armored cavalry, I don't know if these shield hands of yours can stand it?"
Li Jingxu sneered twice, "It's not that my old Li brags, our cavalry nemesis is not called for nothing, if they play hide and seek with us, I really can't do anything about them for a while, but if he wants to confront them hard, I will keep them and let them come and go, isn't it more than 500 heavy armored cavalry?" It's one more, I don't pay attention to it, these heavy shield soldiers, but the trump card among the heavy shield soldiers, in the infantry, the status is not greater than the war dragon legion at all, but the mobility is too poor, not as good as the war dragon legion, but I have lived for so many years, and I haven't heard that the cavalry can eat my heavy shield soldiers. ”
On the opposite side, Sun Shanxiong had also known their situation through the scouts, but Li Jingxu was not in a hurry to attack, he was different, the heavy armored cavalry was different from the ordinary cavalry, once the cavalry got on the horse, it could not be easily dismounted, that is to say, they were in a heavy situation anytime and anywhere, this kind of thing may not be a big deal for the war horse, but it is a big burden for the heavy armored cavalry on the horse.
Generally speaking, the heavy armored cavalry has to dismount and rest for a period of time after two or three hours, regardless of whether there is a battle or not, to restore physical strength, but his heavy armored staff has not rested for ten hours since yesterday, and if it goes on like this, the longer the time, the greater the damage to his cavalry, so Li Jingxu can wait, but he can't wait.
So, when he heard that there was a heavy shield soldier on the other side, he was happy.
The deputy general led the light cavalry into the ambush position, he should not hesitate, take advantage of the opponent's unstable footing, first rush a few times, four thousand infantry is not a small number, if it is just ordinary infantry, he really does not see it, but the heavy shield soldier is more troublesome, ordinary shield soldiers are the nemesis of archers, but heavy shield soldiers, that is specially for the purpose of dealing with cavalry, although his subordinates are heavy armored cavalry, but after all, the number is not equal, so Sun Shan Xiong mentioned the war horse sitting down, and ordered the whole army to attack.
In fact, the valley area is quite unfavorable for the cavalry, and the other party has a lot of opportunities to make a fuss in the valley, after all, the terrain is narrow, not only is there any obstacle that blocks the road, but it is fatal to the cavalry charge.
But for the cavalry, if it is used well, it is a passage for slaughter, if the terrain is flat, the enemy has nowhere to dodge, the front is topped by the cavalry, and the back is blocked by the follow-up troops, then there is only waiting for death, and this is the case in the Dongyuanpo Valley.
