At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Wei Jun's victory was crushing.

Guo Peng's strong self-confidence comes from his strong strength, and Wei Yan's strong self-confidence also comes from his own strong strength. He never doubts that his armored cavalry will fail.

Those terrifying tall horses are all fat and strong.

Before going to the battlefield, Wei Jun had already fed several meals of concentrated feed to keep these carefully selected high-headed horses in shape and strength. After arriving at the scheduled battlefield here, they began to dress the horses.

It is more difficult to put on the iron armor that is enough to protect all the vital parts of the horse, so a combat team composed of a soldier and two auxiliary soldiers will help the horse put it on together.

After the horses are dressed, the soldiers are dressed.

Soldiers need to put on extremely heavy armor, complete with the help of two auxiliary soldiers, and then sit on their tall horses with the support, and then pick up their mace, and enter the state of preparation for battle.

Fighting in this situation is really exhausting, and the danger is not small. Once you fall off the horse, you will never be able to stand up with your own strength, and there is a danger of breaking your neck or directly breaking a bone.

It can be said that being a heavy cavalry is really not easy, the amount of training is heavy, the consumption is also high, and the probability of failure is also high.

It is difficult for the soldiers, but it is even more difficult for the country.

If the expenditure is too large, the finances can easily fail to support it.

But comparing it with the success of the heavy cavalry battalion, everyone knows how to choose.

The heavy cavalry had completed their difficult preparations, and at this moment, the traces of the Xianbei arrived as scheduled.

The sentry cavalry told Cao Chun the news, Cao Chun nodded, and told Wei Yan the news.

Wei Yan said that he was very excited and was ready for the bloody battle on the spot.

The last time he shined was a few years ago. It was so long that Wei Yan could hardly remember it. He even thought that heavy cavalry would be useless.

But this time, heavy cavalry still has a chance, and Wei Yan still has a chance.

Under the leadership of Su Li, the Xianbei people quickly approached the Wei army, intending to continue to fight the classic cavalry tactics with the Wei army, and shoot at the Wei army cavalry, fight for endurance, fight for endurance, and see who is stronger.

Su Li was uneasy, worried that the Wei army would dispatch a large number of powerful cavalry to fight, but even so, he had to fight.

If you fight, you still have a chance of victory. If you don't fight, you will be eaten to the point where you don't even have any seeds.

On the edge of the vision of both sides, the opposite side appeared in the dark, and they have already seen the existence of the other side.

Cao Chun faced such a large number of Xianbei cavalry for the first time, and Xianbei was the same, and it was also the first time he faced such a large number of Wei cavalry.

When looking at the black cavalry of the Wei army from a distance, Su Li felt that something was wrong, and the Wei army was a little too much.

This feeling is even stronger when you look closer.

Wei people...

No infantry?

So many people, so many troops, all cavalry?

When did the Wei people have so many cavalry?

I heard that the Wei people raised horses on a large scale, but raising horses and training cavalry are two different things.

Raising horses is easy, but training cavalry is difficult. You don't even think about it for three to five years. Under the current situation, how can the Wei people pull out so many cavalry?

In the past, during the Northern Expedition of the Central Plains Empire, although there were cavalry, the infantry was still the absolute main force.

Cavalry and shooting tactics are very lethal to infantry, but if you switch to full-scale cavalry combat...

I can only bet that their cavalry combat ability is not high, and they cannot compete with the Xianbei army in riding skills.

chapter 1098

Facing the aggressive situation of the Wei army, Suli felt that he had no way out, so he gave an order and called on the Xianbei cavalry to immediately start a tactical formation.

They will use their most familiar classic riding and shooting tactics to fight the Wei people to the death.

"Now is the time to fight to the death. If we lose, our relatives, our cattle and sheep, and all of our property will all be taken by the damn Wei people, so we have to fight to the end and never retreat!"

Su-ri raised the knife in his hand and made a call of his own.

Soon, his call was carried out to every Xianbei soldier.

Under the leadership of their respective leaders, they manipulated their familiar horses and used their most familiar tactics to attack Wei Jun.

Detours and outflanking, cavalry and shooting were exhausted, and when the cavalry and shooting reached a certain level, they drew their swords and fought to completely defeat the Wei army.

This is their simple and efficient tactics. For many years, they have relied on these housekeeping skills to plunder and attack the Han people in the south.

Realizing that the Xianbei people had launched an attack, Cao Chun looked at Wei Yan beside him.

"How to fight this battle?"

The relationship between Cao Chun and Wei Yan is not harmonious, or the relationship between most of the guards and Wei Yan is not harmonious, but Cao Chun is obedient, and Guo Peng's order, he will definitely implement it.

Wei Yan also has this advantage, loyalty and obedience, he will definitely implement Guo Peng's orders.

"I can't control other things. Heavy cavalry can only charge forward. Heavy cavalry is not used to entangle with cavalry archers. General Cao, have you seen the Chinese army of Beilu?"

Wearing heavy armor, Wei Yan pointed to the not-too-distant place where Suli's command center was located.

Cao Chun knew what Wei Yan wanted to do.

"You mean, you directly led the heavy cavalry all the way to charge into the battle, straight into the Xianbei army, and threatened Lord Xianbei?"

"Yes, I don't do other things, let him come a few ways, I just go all the way, I will go straight to the army and kill that Xianbei Lord, so why worry about this Xianbei army not being destroyed?"

Wei Yan has strong self-confidence.

Cao Chun looked at the densely packed Xianbei cavalry along the way.

"Even if it's a heavy ride, it's too stressful to rush over like this."

"Heavy cavalry ranks first in the army in all aspects of food and clothing. If you don't stand up and take on the most difficult task at this time, you will be ashamed of the highest treatment your majesty gives to heavy cavalry! Wei Wenchang can't do this kind of thing."

Wei Yan took a deep breath: "I will lead the heavy cavalry to attack the enemy's central army. With my steel body, I will crush all the Xianbei who stand in the way! General Cao, please put an end to us."

As Wei Yan said this, he called his subordinates to prepare for the battle and to charge.

Cao Chun stared blankly at Wei Yan's back, a little angry, but at the same time, he wanted to laugh.

Everyone said that Wei Yan was a guy who didn't know what to do, and he always had a cold face to everyone. No one had ever seen him smile, and he didn't know who was friendly to him.

It is said that someone tried, but failed, and became Wei Yanhei from then on, and never said a good word about Wei Yan.

It is said that he was a little traumatized mentally, and he doesn't know what Wei Yan did.

Anyway, Wei Yan's interpersonal relationship is very poor, and he doesn't have many friends in the army, let alone other places.

The officers of the Guard Army each have their own groups of relationships, and each has their own small group. Generally speaking, they are still united, but Wei Yan is different.

It felt like he was drifting away from the whole group, deliberately not blending into the whole group.

Therefore, the four generals of the guards were dissatisfied and unfriendly to him.

Of course, the emperor admired him, and Zhao Yun also took good care of him, giving him the best treatment and indicators, which made many people quite jealous.

To be honest, Cao Chun was also jealous that Wei Yan could get so many material indicators and such good training treatment. It is very extravagant for a battalion to enjoy a huge training ground alone.

But looking at the back of Wei Yan leading the heavy cavalry resolutely, Cao Chun suddenly felt that this guy did not listen, his face was smelly, and his temper was very bad, but he was unexpectedly reliable and able to handle things.

Okay, okay, Wei Wenchang, I'll be here to watch you, I'll watch how far you can trample the Xianbei people.

Cao Chun will wait and see.

Of course Wei Yan will not disappoint his expectations.

Leading the well-trained three thousand heavy cavalry, they rode the same fully armed war horses, stepping on the rhythm of death, and slowly gathered in front of the formation.

Under Wei Yan's command, they still adopted the simplest and most efficient conical formation, with more than 100 of the leanest and most powerful fighters under Wei Yan's personal leadership to form a head group. into the heart of the enemy.

This is the most ruthless tactic against infantry. Of course, it doesn't mean that it can't be used against cavalry. As long as the target is targeted and directly aimed at the heart of the opponent, it can also force them to fight head-to-head with the heavy cavalry to see who is stronger and stronger.

Wei Yan would not think that there are existences in this world that are harder and stronger than their heavy cavalry battalion. In Wei Yan's view, the heavy cavalry battalion is the best in the world.

It is your honor to be crushed into pieces by the world's number one heavy cavalry battalion, Xianbei people!

And that Lord Xianbei whose name he doesn't know.

Hiding under the protection of so many people, but also raised his own flag so high, so obvious.

Isn't this the same as showing me the way?

Heavy riding battalion, go forward bravely, never retreat.

This is the heavy riding camp!

At the moment when the Xianbei people had already attacked the Wei army, Wei Yan raised the mace with strong arms, pointed it forward, and shouted angrily.

"The whole army! Follow me forward! There is no retreat!!!"

Wei Yan's roar was earth-shattering, and after the sound of the war drums, the roars of the iron men of the Heavy Cavalry Battalion were equally earth-shattering.

"There is no retreat!"

They shouted the slogan of the heavy cavalry battalion and put it into practice.

The heavy cavalry battalion was dispatched.

Because of the heavy weight, it started to move forward slowly. At the beginning, it was as slow as a child walking, without any combat power and power, but the speed was slowly increasing, getting faster bit by bit, and changing bit by bit. faster.

The sound of horseshoes stamping on the ground is more obvious, and the movement of horseshoes stamping on the ground is also more obvious.

The ground was shaking slightly.

The heavy cavalry with three thousand helmets and armor may not seem like a large number of people, but once they run, they are still on a large scale and can bring some sense of deterrence.

However, for Xianbei people, the number of heavy cavalry is second, and the existence of heavy cavalry is itself strange.

Armored warriors armed to the teeth appeared on the battlefield one after another, riding on equally heavily armed... probably war horses, and then rushed straight over like this.

Not covering up or anything, just rushing over with a big stick in his hand, isn't it too stupid?

Suli was urgently arranging troops to attack the Wei army, when he suddenly received a report that the main force of the Wei army hadn't moved, but a Wei army had started to attack, and it seemed that it was coming specifically for the Chinese army, with a very clear goal.

Su Li frowned, surprised.

"how many people?"

"About two or three thousand."

"He rushed over directly? Could it be..."

Su Li thought of a possibility, and realized that it might be the elite cavalry who could use weapons with both hands. He immediately felt that the situation was urgent, so he stepped forward to observe the situation himself.

Seeing this, Su Li was stunned, not to mention the entourage.

This is cavalry?

Why does it feel like a big iron block?

This……

Is this even wearing a man and a horse?

Are you kidding me?

In this case, if you put on the cavalry, are you sure that the cavalry can still charge if they sit still?

Su Li instinctively didn't believe it, but the facts were right in front of his eyes. Although the heavy cavalry was not rushing fast, it was still accelerating slowly. The speed was getting faster and faster, and the momentum of the impact was getting stronger.

It seems that what they did was really stable, there is no tendency to fall down, and both the man and the horse are wearing armor. Can this bow and arrow really work?

What if you can't shoot through their armor?

Su Li thought nervously.

However, some of the subordinates panicked.

"My lord, how can these people ride on horses while wearing armor? This..."

"Don't panic, send people to attack and intercept them! If bows and arrows can't pierce their armor, then use throwing weapons to throw them. I don't believe this armor is really so ruthless!"

Suli gave the order, and a Xianbei cavalry immediately began to circle around and outflank, preparing to intercept the heavy cavalry battalion.

The heavy cavalry battalion did not respond to this, and continued to move straight in the direction they determined, at an increasing speed.

Su Li looked nervously at the situation on the battlefield and saw that his subordinates had approached the cavalry of the Wei army, and they were ready to shoot with their bows and arrows. He was immediately full of confidence in this wave of attacks.
