Chapter 0748 Who eats who?(1/2)

After crossing the river, the Wei cavalry army coming from the right wing discovered that there was a hill that was not too high on the right wing of the Han army.

Normally, this hill would not be an obstacle.

But at this time, the Han army had already occupied this hill.

Moreover, it was too difficult for the elite cavalry of the Wei army without bilateral stirrups to attack from their backs.

A general shouted loudly, telling the cavalry to dismount and prepare to attack with infantry.

Before the emergence of the complete three-piece cavalry suit, the cavalry was often used as both an infantry and a horse.

It's just that cavalry like them are not as well prepared as pure infantry. Many of them don't even have a small buckler.

The crossbowmen who emerged from the hills rained down arrows, and the Wei troops who had little protection fell to the ground screaming.

The Wei cavalry failed in its attempt to capture the commanding heights on the right wing and had to retreat.

At the same time, under the restraint of the Wei infantry on the front, the left wing also successfully crossed to the west bank.

This cheered up Zhang Hua.

The left wing of the Han army is a large flat area, which is most suitable for cavalry charges.

The Liangzhou horse is rampant all over the world.

This is not just talk.

The Liangzhou cavalry are accustomed to using spears and are unstoppable unless they are selected forwards.

This was the conclusion reached by the discussants when Cao Cao and Ma Chao fought in Guanzhong, which shows the elite of the Xiliang cavalry.

Feng Yong held up his telescope and saw the Wei cavalry in the north slowly forming a square formation, and quickly asked someone to wave his order.

Zhang Ni, who had been paying attention to the central military command flag, slowly exhaled and ordered: "Turn left, prepare!"

There was a sound of armor scraping, and the Modao team, which had been sitting and resting, stood up and lined up, putting on their helmets at the same time.

Under the scorching sun, the iron armor worn by everyone in the Han and Wei armies had been burned so hot that it almost seemed like they were being cooked.

The only exception was the soldiers of the Mo Dao Team. Their armors had auxiliary soldiers to help water them and cool them down.

Then a series of weapons clashed.

Since the first battle in Jieting, the Modao Team has been continuously improving in actual combat.

The soldiers who protect the Qiang Xiaowei Mansion patrol Longyou from time to time and participate in the Qiang rebellion. The Modao team must advance in every battle, and it is not without purpose.

The current Mo Dao team uses Mo Dao as its main output, and for various situations, there are also weapons such as Huanshou Dao, spears, hooks and even sentry sticks as auxiliary weapons.

While weapons and protective gear are constantly improving, combat methods are also becoming more mature.

After the Battle of Jieting, this was the Modao team once again facing off against the real Wei cavalry, and it was also the Liangzhou cavalry, one of the best in the world.

After all the auxiliary troops retreated, the Modao team had completed their formation.

The drums sounded.

The chiefs followed the drumbeat and ordered: "Enter!"

Soldiers who advance with swords must not only be tall, but also must undergo regular physical and endurance training.

With the addition of meat supplements from pastures and farms, everyone can be considered a muscular man.

Behind the black mask, cold eyes flashed.

"The first battle the Modao team faced at Jieting was against the New Fifth Army of the Wei Kingdom's Central Army. Among them were the elite tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers of Cao Cao who dominated the world back then."

Feng Yong handed the binoculars to Jiang Wei, "Both the Liangzhou cavalry and the tiger and leopard cavalry can be regarded as the best cavalry in the world. Bo Yue, do you think the Liangzhou cavalry is more powerful, or the tiger and leopard cavalry?"

Jiang Wei held up his telescope and saw the Wei army's cavalry charging. At the same time, on the Han's side, countless snow-white swords were raised diagonally, shining dazzlingly under the sun.

The cavalry is like a torrent, and the sword is like a jungle.

The Liangzhou cavalry holding their spears slammed into Mo Dao, who was rushing in like a wall.

At this moment, Jiang Wei's body tensed up.

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry, known for its powerful impact, actually only shook the front two or three rows in front of this heavy infantry phalanx, and then all the men and horses were strangled to pieces!

"Dong dong dong!"

The drum beats louder and louder.

"Enter!"

The Mo Dao queue standing at the back immediately stepped forward, crossing the first few rows, and so on, replenishing their numbers in turn.

There is only life and death, no retreat.

The blood under the feet did not seep into the ground in time because there was too much minced meat. In this weather, it suddenly became sticky.

The people of Liangzhou are fierce and not afraid of death, and the Liangzhou cavalry are even more powerful.

However, no matter how they charged, the Han army's forest of long swords was like an iron city wall, causing them to fall down time and time again, with their heads bruised and bleeding.

"Your Majesty, although I don't know which one is more powerful, the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry or the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, I know that they have no choice but to bow in front of Junhou's Mo Dao Team."

After a long time, Jiang Wei put down the telescope, took a long breath, turned his head and looked at Feng Yong, with some inexplicable awe in his eyes.

As more and more Wei troops crossed the river, the frontal battle became more intense.

The desire to return to the master and fight to the death received its greatest explanation at this time.

Many Wei soldiers rushed towards the Han army's formation with red eyes, regardless of their safety.

A spear pierced Wei Zu's thigh, and the powerful penetration force exposed the spear head from the back of his thigh. Wei Zu gritted his teeth and raised his knife to swing at the gun body.

There was a "click" sound, and the gun body was very tough, with just a cut.

The shock came from the gun body, and Wei Zu almost fainted from the pain. He knew that he would not be spared, so when the opponent did not pull the spear in time, he threw himself down and hugged the gun body tightly: "Kill the prisoner!"

The comrades beside him shouted, raising their swords and rushing towards the Han soldier who was trying to draw out his spear.

The Han soldier was forced to let go of his spear, but in the end he was a step too late, and the sword had already hit his arm.

With a "swish" sound, blood spurted out like a fountain, and the arm lost its owner and fell to the ground.

The Han soldier screamed, but fortunately someone came over to help him block the long knife that was coming towards him again, thus preventing him from having his head chopped off.

The Wei cavalry on the left wing was frustrated in their aggressive charge at first, but this did not affect their morale. They retreated, reorganized their formation, and charged in turn.

The piles of minced meat piled up even more.

Finally, the Wei cavalry, which suffered heavy losses, began to circle around continuously.

Not to mention ordinary cavalry, even the cavalry generals have never seen such a weird and ferocious unit.

This kind of soldier seems to be born to restrain cavalry.

No matter how powerful the cavalry is in front of it, there will only be one end: both men and horses will be shattered.

"With infantry like this, why should the cavalry have anything to fear?"

Jiang Wei murmured.

"Not necessarily." Feng Yong said from the side, "In this world, if there is yin, there must be yang, and if there is a spear, there will be a shield."

"The cavalry already has an advantage when facing infantry, but this kind of sudden cavalry can't do anything to this kind of infantry."

Jiang Wei couldn't believe it: "Is there any cavalry in the world that can defeat such infantry?"

Feng Yong nodded: "Yes."

In a head-on battle, light cavalry has no advantage over heavy infantry.

But if you change to armor and riding equipment, that may not be the case.

Whether it was the Southern and Northern Dynasties when armored riding equipment began to rise, or the Sui and Tang Dynasties, or even the Song and Yuan Dynasties, armored riding equipment occupied an extremely important strategic position.

This can be confirmed from literature and unearthed cultural relics.

Unlike what some people think, the Tang Dynasty and Yuan and Meng Dynasties only focused on light cavalry.

Of course, due to different battlefields, the armored cavalry equipment may also become armored cavalry, that is, the man wears armor but the horse does not wear armor.

It was not until the Ming and Qing Dynasties that armor and cavalry equipment truly ceased to exist on the battlefield.

Because of the emergence of firearms, the form of warfare has changed.

The Tang Dynasty's Modao Team was invincible because the people it faced were basically light cavalry from the grassland peoples.

At the same time, Datang itself had a large number of cavalry to cooperate with the Modao team.

Heavy infantry without cavalry support would not have much of an advantage when facing armored cavalry.

Even when facing the enemy's light cavalry and heavy cavalry to attack together, most of the time they can only end up in despair.

At this time, armored riding equipment had not yet appeared, or it might have appeared, but in terms of the current world, no one in the Han, Wei and Wu Three Kingdoms could afford it.

Because this thing is equivalent to burning gold.

As far as the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Wu are concerned, which one is not bitter haha?

Just maintaining a draft ratio of ten to one is enough to make people breathless.
To be continued...
