At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Zhou Yu didn't realize what he said until he said it. It was a subconscious reaction, reflecting the most fundamental cognition deep in his heart.

Indeed it is.

Seeing the banner of "Wei Guozheng Nan General Zhang" at the front, Zhou Yu's head went blank.

Why is Zhang Liao here?

Where did it come from?

From Dantu?

Wu Jing was defeated, so Zhang Liao led the Wei army across the river?

Zhang Liao was very happy to see Zhou Yu's banner and army. With a wave of his hand, the drums of the Wei army's battle formation rumbled, and the Wei army immediately entered a state of combat readiness.

And Wei Jun's offensive move also made Zhou Yu react.

After taking a few breaths and barely calming down, Zhou Yu immediately ordered the army to beat the drums and prepare for the battle.

This is on the battlefield head to head, there is no time to despair!No time to think about the meaning of death!

Must fight!To fight until the last second!

There is still hope now, if this army can be defeated by luck...

Zhou Yu gritted his teeth.

Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, you have to fight!

He is the last line of defense in front of Sun Quan, the last line of defense in the face of the death impact brought by the Wei army. For Sun Quan, he is the last protector and the one who cannot back down no matter what.

But following the battle cry from the opponent, Zhou Yu found that his side did not think of the corresponding battle cry in order to respond and confront.

Zhou Yu looked around and suddenly discovered a terrible situation.

He saw the frightened faces around him, including his own soldiers.

Anxiety, fear, cringe.

Such emotions permeated the Wu army's battle formation. Although they assembled and formed a complete army formation, they seemed to have no corresponding attitude in the face of the Wei army's surging will to fight.

Zhou Yu could not feel the morale of his army.

I thought that the defeat of the Wei army's attack by the water battle for many days would eliminate the army's fear of Wei, but I didn't expect that when facing the Wei army formation on land, Wu Jun still showed a sense of fear.

It was an incurable mental illness after a fiasco, a psychological fear, a fear from the depths of the soul.

Wei Jun's land combat ability is too strong, to the point where even Sun Ce, the god of war in their hearts, will die, and at a glance, the number of people is obviously larger than that of Wu Jun, and the more fight the less, the strong bully the weak, so Wu Jun is afraid from the bottom of his heart with.

Forget about it in normal times, this is a battlefield, a terrifying battlefield!

There is no human feeling at all on the battlefield, facing fierce and terrifying enemies, thinking about tearing Wu Jun's enemies apart!

You have to show your will to fight!

Zhou Yu ordered the drummer to beat the war drum more vigorously, and the horn player to blow the horn more vigorously. The deep and distant sound of the horn and the rumble of the war drum sounded together. Zhou Yu tried to use this method to boost morale and encourage the soldiers to fight bravely, but the effect seemed to be not good.

Facing the deterrent battle roar of Wei Jun, Wu Jun couldn't raise the will to fight against it.

Zhang Liao noticed this keenly and was very happy. He immediately ordered the army to attack, but what is a bit special is that it was not the Wei army formation that launched the attack, but a small force of 300 people.

The newest military branch in the Wei army is also the military branch with the smallest number of troops and the highest unit cost.

Huwei heavy cavalry.

"Wenchang, this is the first real battle for your Tiger Guards. This is a real battlefield. Can the Tiger Guards play their due role, and can they be worthy of the meat provided by His Royal Highness King Wei? Just watch this battle."

Zhang Liao pointed to the Wu army formation on the opposite side, and said, "Did you see that? Wenchang, the Wu army on the opposite side did not roar. They are afraid of us and have no will to fight. This is the best training target. If you can't break through Their line of defense, let alone other enemies."

Wei Yan nodded with a serious face.

"Don't worry, general, the heavy cavalry of the tiger guards must, and must be worthy of the meat that His Royal Highness Wei Wang gave us!"

While speaking, Wei Yan and the other tiger guard heavy cavalry had already put on the heavy armor needed for combat with the help of the auxiliary soldiers, a set of armor that could even protect the teeth.

Chapter 729 The first battle of the eight tiger guards heavy cavalry (repair)

The heavy armor is too heavy to be worn when on the road. Generally, it is worn after discovering the enemy when the sentry cavalry is searching for the enemy.

Like Wei Yan, the Tiger Guard heavy cavalry also needed auxiliary soldiers to help them wear heavy armor.

They can't wear these heavy armors by themselves.

According to the complexity and weight of these heavy armors, a heavy cavalry can't put them on by themselves at all. Wearing heavy armor requires at least two to three people to help them put it on.

The heavy armor made of fine iron is almost brand new. It looks very heavy, and the overall appearance is silvery white. The square iron pieces seem to be glued together, densely packed, with almost no gaps, and it looks extremely defensive. force.

Three hundred tiger guard heavy cavalry, Guo Peng required a heavy cavalry and three auxiliary soldiers. When the battle was about to take place, the auxiliary soldiers quickly got started and began to put on heavy armor for the heavy cavalry.

First wear the front breastplate and the back armor to protect the back, then the belly armor, then the front and rear skirt armor of the lower body, then the chest mirror, and then the shoulder armor. Thick armor of the breastplate to protect the shoulders.

The different parts of the armor are linked together with belts or ropes, and they are interlocking. It takes help to put it on and take it off. Once it is put on, it is impossible to take it off on the battlefield.

The front and rear armor of the upper body is enough to protect the entire upper body, and the heavy armor of the lower body is enough to protect the legs.

The military shoes worn on the feet are also quite different from ordinary soldiers. They are in the style of boots, which can protect the entire calf. The material is mostly cowhide, which is very thick.

Finally, there is the helmet. In order to look mighty, two sharp horns are built on the helmet. The helmet itself can completely protect the back of the head and the side face, and there is also a part of the neck stem woven with iron sheets. The chest is fully covered with armor. Leave a gap.

Not only that, but there is also a matching iron mask to protect the front face.

A ghost-like mask, leaving the necessary breathing holes and holes for the eyes, otherwise it is the appearance of a ghost.

After putting on the mask, the heavily armored Huwei heavy cavalry is like a real iron armored ghost, extremely fierce and terrifying, very infiltrating from a distance, and can achieve the effect of deterring the enemy without making a sound.

Not to mention other soldiers, Zhang Liao was quite surprised when he first learned that such a set of heavy armor weighed 120 catties.

He tried wearing it once, and found that this set of heavy armor was like a mountain on top of his body. It was difficult for him to move freely with his physical fitness, and his physical strength was huge when fighting, let alone other people.

It is estimated that only these heavy cavalry who have good food, good food and good meat can wear them to fight.

Really, none of the armors worn by the generals weighed as much as 120 jin, and they were not as well-defended as they were. This made Zhang Liao envious and wanted a set.

It takes three people to help put on this armor, and it also needs at least one or two people to help mount a horse that is also wearing heavy armor.

The whole body of the horse is covered with iron armor, which can protect the legs of the horse. The horse's head is also covered with an iron armor that matches the shape, completely protecting the vital parts of the horse's head. The whole horse is a steel monster, and arrows cannot pierce it. , the spear cannot pierce through.

There is a leather bag hanging on the right side of the horse, in which is hung a thick long-handled mace, and there is also a leather bag on the left side, in which are hung three throwing axes for throwing.

The heavy riders stepped on the horses with their pedals, sat on the Takahashi saddle, stabilized their bodies, grabbed the reins with one hand, and stretched out the other.

Two auxiliary soldiers brought over a thick spear about one foot long, and the tiger guard heavy cavalry reached out and grabbed the spear, held it in their hands, moved their bodies again, and got ready for battle.

Three hundred tiger guards and heavy cavalry, three hundred moving iron towers, the heavy cavalry and the tall horse look like one, with great visual impact.

The 300 people moved forward slowly, and the infantry in front gave way to them with awe-inspiring eyes, and they stepped forward slowly, highlighting the army formation, and formed a formation right in front of the Wei army formation.

An ancient and practical formation, one of the ten formations listed by Sun Wu in Sun Tzu's Art of War, which breaks through the enemy's formation in a cone shape.

Wei Yan, the school lieutenant, and several of the bravest soldiers took the lead.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Yu frowned, looking at this strange cavalry, very puzzled.

This……

This is cavalry?

What they were wearing...wasn't it armor?

Horses also wear armor?

The weapon he was holding... looked heavy.

What kind of cavalry is this?

This armor is almost completely covered from head to toe. No matter how light the armor is, it weighs seventy to eighty catties. How can they sit firmly on the horse?

If this horse runs, people must not fall to the ground hard?

What's the point of such cavalry coming?

Doesn't make sense at all?

Zhou Yu was quite puzzled and perplexed, but from a distance, Zhou Yu couldn't figure out what was going on with them.

Wei Yan didn't care so much, since he was ready, he was going to charge.

As heavy cavalry, this was their first battle, the first real war, for them, and for Wei Yan, it was of great significance.

Whether they can win or not will determine whether the heavy armored cavalry has the value of existence, whether it can continue to exist and expand its scale.

This point, before Wei Yan set off, Guo Peng told him.

To build this heavy cavalry, Guo Peng spent enough money to build a normal cavalry of 1000 men and an elite infantry army of 3000 men.

Guo Peng spent so much money, naturally he wanted to see the effect.

For heavy cavalry, in order to enhance their defense, even the face must be protected. After wearing a grimace mask, the surroundings of the eyes can be protected, so the field of vision is limited, and the field of vision is very narrow. Basically, they can only see the front.

Therefore, the heavy armored cavalry's charging fighting method is to go forward bravely, rush to the end, turn the horse's head and charge again, and must not stop.

The means of attack is to wield weapons to fight while charging, and use speed to kill passing enemies, but you must not stop.

Like ordinary cavalry, the life of cavalry lies in mobility, and the same is true for heavy cavalry. They are used to charge the formation and tear apart the formation. For the rest, just leave it to your own formation.

This is the first time that Wei Yan leads an army to fight alone, and it is also the first time that Wei Yan takes the lead. Wei Yan is grateful for Guo Peng's trust and reuse, and vows to repay Guo Peng with his achievements.

This is the best reward.

"rush!!!!!!"

Wei Yan shouted at the top of his voice, and three hundred heavy armored cavalry formed a cone to break through the enemy formation, and under the leadership of Wei Yan, they charged in groups.

The horse neighed, and started a heavy charge with the heavy load on it. The cavalry grabbed their spears, held them steadily, and rushed forward with the horses.

Such a formation, from a distance, looks like a big iron lump charging towards the Wu army formation, but because it is too heavy, the sound of the charge and the ground vibration caused by the horse are also different from ordinary cavalry.

A mere 300 people can cause a great shock, even Zhou Yu can feel it.

This kind of cavalry charge made Zhou Yu, who was seeing him for the first time, not know how to deal with it for a short time.

However, Zhou Yu quickly reacted. With a wave of his hand, he ordered the crossbowmen to release arrows. The crossbowmen of the Wu army immediately fired arrows at the three hundred cavalrymen who were charging. It fell straight towards the charging Weiyan cavalry.

The sharp arrows seem to have the strength and courage to break through everything, but...

In the past, the arrows that could easily pierce the enemy's flesh and take away the life of the enemy, this time, it was ineffective.

There is no doubt that the arrows hit the enemy, but they bounced off after hitting the enemy. None of them penetrated into the enemy's body and took away the life of the enemy. Charge at high speed!

Chapter 730 730 Nine They Were Born To Break The Formation

Zhou Yu looked in shock at this group of cavalry who ignored the arrow attack and were still galloping, and was greatly shocked.

The soldiers of the Wu army also looked at this group of cavalry in shock.

"How could this be? This is..."

Zhou Yu settled down and shouted loudly: "Keep shooting arrows! Shooting arrows! Uninterrupted rain of arrows!!"

Zhou Yu gave an order, and the crossbowmen of the Wu army began to shoot arrows uninterruptedly. Even so, it didn't take too long to charge from the front of the Wei army to the front of the Wu army, and it took only a few rounds of arrows to shoot.

Moreover, every arrow failed to kill those cavalrymen, as if the rain of arrows was really just raindrops, and when they fell on their bodies, they disappeared, and their progress was unstoppable.

Zhou Yu was very shocked by this, he suddenly realized that the heavy armor worn by this cavalry might not be what he thought, it might be much heavier than he thought!

Otherwise, it would be impossible to defend against such a rain of arrows.

but……

How on earth did they stabilize their bodies?

With such heavy equipment, it is impossible to stabilize it with only your legs!

No matter how talented he is, it is impossible to achieve this level with only his legs. Zhou Yu is also a general, and he has also worn relatively heavy armor. He understands it very well.

what is the problem?
