The White Horse Raids the Three Kingdoms

Thinking of this, Zhao Ang also nodded slightly, he took a deep breath, the cool air in the mountains and forests filled his chest and lungs, his agitated heart finally calmed down.

After tidying up the mess caused by the previous breakthrough, Zhao Ang followed Lu Bu and began to move towards the city.

?? "Xi Lulv..." Not long after the two walked out, there was a loud neighing sound from a distance.

With a slight swipe, Zhao Ang's expression suddenly changed, and his expression suddenly tensed up.

All I could see in the distance was a gold and iron horse, full of murderous aura.

The sound of horseshoes is continuous, and the knights sitting on horseback are wearing iron armor and iron helmets on their heads. The iron armor and iron helmets are black as the background color, trimmed with dark edges, and there is a bunch of high-rising tassels on the helmet. Red like blood.

The dull horseshoes stepped on the icy ground, kicking up billows of dust, which reflected a gloomy light under the bright light.

The cavalry was divided into two teams, both of which were covered in heavy armor. The two rows of horses in the lead were burly and tall.

Every cavalryman's face was indifferent, and his whole body was full of murderous aura, which made people feel chills.

In their hands, the shining steel knife reflected a dazzling cold light under the bright light, making people dizzy.

In the distance, the sound of galloping horses came straight towards Lu Bu and the others with a large cloud of rising smoke.

The galloping iron hooves trampled on the muddy ground, splashing mud all over the sky, and the sound of rumbling iron hooves tumbling and rolling between the sky and the earth was deafening.

The smoke is lingering like clouds, and wherever it goes, it will set off a cloud of sand and dust, just like a god descending from the earth.

Zhao Ang's gaze narrowed slightly, and he looked into the distance, only to see a group of cavalry galloping towards them.

There are fifty heavy cavalry in a row, a total of two rows. The first row of heavy cavalry looks like six or seven meters apart, and the second row of heavy cavalry is the same, but every heavy cavalry in the second row is exactly in the first row. Row every two heavy cavalry at the center of the interval.

In this way, if the charge of the first row of heavy cavalry is blocked, it will not affect the charge of the second row of heavy cavalry.

Don't underestimate the 100-man heavy cavalry. If they encounter unprepared infantry, with just 5000 men, they can easily punch through a [-]-man infantry camp by charging.

When heavy cavalry is in a frontal battle, there is no team that can stop it. Its strength lies in its firepower. The strength of light cavalry lies in its mobility, roundabout tactics, and clever use of terrain, which can drag heavy cavalry to death. .

But the premise of this is that the opponents are all heavy cavalry. If the two arms cooperate with each other and use them cross-over, it will be difficult to say.

In ancient times, heavy cavalry still had its necessary value in face-to-face decisive battles.

Although the heavy cavalry is extremely powerful, its maneuverability and agility are far lower than that of ordinary cavalry, and the target is too large to be used in narrow places.

The speed of the heavy cavalry is not too fast, and their equipment is too heavy, but the equipment on the heavy cavalry is also the most sophisticated and expensive in any country's army.If it is a long-distance march, a heavy cavalry must be accompanied by at least four logistics and supply personnel.

The power of the heavy cavalry lies in small-scale collective combat, but in the face of a large area and a large area, especially after a long journey, the combat effectiveness is greatly reduced after the formation is pulled apart.

The armor of the heavy cavalry is too thick, and it is inconvenient for the knights to move after dismounting from their horses.

In general, heavy cavalry pay more attention to small-scale formations and collective operations, such as forests, small slopes and other terrains.

The light cavalry needs vast areas, such as plains, deserts, etc., which are very suitable for large-scale long-distance raids, and rely on speed to win.

Both have advantages and disadvantages. Heavy cavalry is effective in small-scale wars, and can instantly raze that area to the ground, while light cavalry can only exert its power in large-scale wars. It can involve the opponent's formation back and forth, and attack important areas. Click by click to break, very fast.

Of course, there is no invincible thing in the world, but everything has advantages and disadvantages. The key is to see how people use it. Only by learning from each other can the greatest power of things be brought out.

The main equipment of the heavy cavalry includes heavy armor covering every corner of the body, high-level war horses with full-body horse armor, cavalry spears, longbows, and round shields.

It is no exaggeration to say that a charging heavy cavalry is considered to be the most terrifying unit on the battlefield. Once a heavy cavalry charges in a large scale, it is almost invincible in plain terrain.

With heavy spears between three and five to four meters in length, they are like moving fortresses.Even at a long distance, you can use your own longbow to shoot and kill non-heavy armored enemies.

Of course, the resources needed to equip a heavy cavalry army are also quite terrifying. Therefore, even Lu Bu, who already owns a state, only tried to form a hundred-man army under Gao Zhi's suggestion. of heavy cavalry.

"Hahaha, don't panic, this heavy cavalry is also under a certain command, let's go, I will take you to see it."

Looking at the menacing heavy cavalry in front of him, Lu Bu laughed, and pressed Zhao Ang, who was already on guard and ready to move.

"Wow!" A cavalry commander in front of him reined in his horse with gravity, and his legs straddled the horse's crotch. The horse's hooves stomped heavily on the ground, and the smoke and dust lingered.

"Stop the whole army!" A loud shout came from the head of the cavalry at the forefront.

Simultaneously, the cavalry commander reined in the horse reins with all his strength, and the mount under his crotch immediately stood up with a sad hiss, and his strong front legs kicked in the air for a while, abruptly stopping the forward momentum.

The cavalry behind him also took the same steps. After rushing forward about dozens of steps as a whole, they reined in their horses one after another. Neat two columns.

Led by the head of the cavalry at the forefront, all the people got off their horses and led their horses one by one to form a neat march on the nearby grass.

Everyone was silent, and there was no sound, except for the occasional snorting of the horses in the chasing dust.

They not only have excellent fighting skills, but also have a cold and tenacious will!

Lu Bu strode forward, turned over and led a war horse, and rode the war horse slowly past the front of the formation, and the eyes of all the cavalry followed Lu Bu slowly.

Orders and prohibitions must be fulfilled.

As an elite soldier, as soon as the general's order is issued, he should immediately execute it, and stop immediately if he is not allowed to do it.

When there is an order, it will be executed, and if there is a prohibition, it will be stopped. Wherever the laws and orders reach, it is like this, just like every part of the body obeys the command of the heart. Those who can do this can be called qualified elites .

Gazing at the group of heavy cavalry who were cautiously facing him, Lu Bu's eyes were slightly turbulent, and he nodded noncommittally.

Hundreds of cavalry, each with strong armor, completely covered their entire body, even their eyes were completely protected.

This kind of equipment is obviously not conducive to close combat - the eyesight is very small, basically limited to the front.

For the so-called heavy cavalry, the most important criterion is the weight of the armor on the cavalry. Generally, cavalry wearing armor of more than 20 kilograms is called heavy cavalry.

In addition to the heavy armor worn by the cavalry itself, another typical feature of the heavy cavalry is that the horses are also covered with heavy armor.

The standard for measuring heavy cavalry is to see whether it has the combat capability of assault combat.The standard horse armor of this period has a special name in history-"iron riding equipment".

Since the Xiongnu went south, some northern minorities such as Xianbei, Jie, Di, and Qiang successively entered the Central Plains.They seized power by relying on armored heavy cavalry as the main force.

This manufacturing mode reflects the way heavy armored cavalry is used on the battlefield from one side - charge, turn around and charge again, but never stop to fight hand-to-hand!

Generally speaking, the so-called heavy cavalry is armored riding equipment, armor, human armor; armor, horse armor.People and horses are all armored, that is, heavy cavalry.

Generally, the heavy cavalry is equipped with armor and shields with good protective performance, and their weapons are mainly spears, which are famous for their powerful impact and excellent defense.

You must know that from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms, it was also a period of great development of armor.The main types of armor were basically produced during this period.There are Mingguang armor, chain mail armor, Liangdang armor and so on.

And the ones in front of him are his fine horses.

If he followed the advice that guy Gao Zhi gave him before, and combined with the power in front of him, maybe in the future, they could become another existence of his trump card.

After all, in the era of cold weapons, a solid formation is the basis for ensuring victory, and high morale is the key to victory. Once the enemy's psychological balance and organizational foundation are destroyed, it is equivalent to victory.
