688 Fierce Battle 4
Ma Teng and Han Sui saw that Zhao Yun's iron cavalry did not directly collide, but instead attacked with crossbow arrows and javelins in their hands. They were so angry that they scolded Zhao Yun for being despicable and shameless! Coward! In such a battle, the weapons in the Qiang and Hu iron cavalry had no advantage and could not cause damage to Zhao Yun's army's iron cavalry. Only under high-speed collision can the disadvantages of the weapons and equipment of the soldiers under Zhao Yun's soldiers be shortened. But now Zhao Yun adopts such a tactic to make the Qiang and Hu iron cavalry powerful.
Seeing that Zhao Yun's army did not fight, Ma Teng and Han Sui took despicable and shameless measures, they were extremely angry and defeated Zhao Yun's army. They had to let the 50,000 Qiang and Hu iron cavalry on the right attack again, intercepting the Lu Mine Army, and preparing to gather 100,000 iron cavalry to destroy the 20,000 flying bear iron cavalry led by Lu Mine.
When Zhao Yun saw Ma Teng, Han Sui and the others finally dispatched the army on both sides. They smiled in a slight smile and ordered Lu Xiang on the left to lead 20,000 Feixiong Iron Cavalry to attack and take the same measures to disperse the formation of the Qiang and Hu Iron Cavalry.
The troops participating in the battle between the two sides suddenly became huge, reaching more than 100,000, which was a decisive battle with a grand rule. At this time, the crossbow chariot under Zhao Yun stopped shooting, otherwise it would cause accidental injuries to his soldiers, and another secret weapon in Zhao Yun's hand began to show its power.
Zhao Yun's army also carried twenty artillery pieces, which were specially prepared by the Qiang and Hu Iron Cavalry of Ma Teng and Han Sui; after all, the number of artillery pieces was limited and could not form large-scale production, and most of the artillery pieces in the Lu Ning consumer goods market were used for the equipment of naval warships.
The artillery produced by Lu Ning is not very powerful, has high lethality, and is limited in power. If it is used for siege, it basically does not play much role. The current city wall is relatively thick and cannot be blown up by the cannons in Lu Ning's hand. When it is used for warships, it has a very large effect and can play an important role. As for attacking cavalry, it is mainly to frighten the opponent's war horses, thereby causing chaos.
Of course, the artillery produced under Lu Ning's rule is not very lethal to the cavalry. In the explosion of the shell, the shock wave is blocked by the surrounding war horses. Each shell can cause several casualties, and there will be no major casualties at all. However, the loud noise made by the shells during the explosion will cause frightening the nearby war horses, which is the most important thing. Once the war horses are frightened, the consequences are very serious and new fighter jets will be created for combat.
With Zhao Yun's order, twenty artillery artillery became angry at the same time, and twenty shells flew into the Qiang and Hu iron cavalry and exploded. The huge explosion scared the Qiang and Hu soldiers so much that they sat foolishly on the horse's back. After being frightened, the war horse immediately furiously and lifted the dull Qiang and Hu off the war horse.
The Qiang and Hu iron cavalry were suddenly attacked by artillery, and the huge explosion suddenly made the Qiang and Hu iron cavalry overturn. Although the direct lethality of the shells exploded, the casualties caused by the war horses were very large. Many Qiang and Hu soldiers were stripped off by the war horses and were stomped into pieces by the war horses; the frightened war horses ran around everywhere, immediately causing extreme chaos in the formation.
Twenty cannons continued to roar, and the explosions of shells rose and fell, making the Qiang and Hu iron cavalry in the advancing, and the soldiers could no longer control the war horses; for the war horses of the Feixiong Iron Cavalry under Zhao Yun, cotton balls were stuffed into the ears of the war horses, and the war horses under Lu Ning had experienced the sound of shell explosions countless times, so the impact was very small; for Ma Teng and Han Sui's joint Qiang and Hu iron cavalry under him, this was the first time, its influence was great and the damage caused was also great.
After several rounds of artillery fire, the formation of the Qiang and Hu Iron Cavalry became more and more chaotic. Even the soldiers of the Qiang and Hu Iron Cavalry who were not affected were stunned. They had never heard of such weapons in the world, especially when the shells exploded, which could push war horses and soldiers high. Some soldiers were directly blown to pieces and shattered their limbs and flew all over the sky. That terrifying situation was very scary and could even dampen morale.
Ma Teng and Han Sui were also shocked by the huge losses caused by the shells when they exploded. They stood stupidly, not knowing what kind of weapon they were, nor what kind of play they were; the continuous explosions made both of them look frightened.
After a while, Ma Teng came back from his shock. He suddenly remembered the fact that his son Ma Chao was blown up by thunder when he was in Chang'an. It seemed that it was not a thunder sound, but Lu Ning had such terrifying weapons and equipment.
Han Sui said in confusion: "What is this?"
Ma Teng next to him shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I don't know!"
When Zhao Yun saw that the Qiang and Hu cavalry were extremely chaotic, he immediately ordered. Following Zhao Yun's order, the drums and horns changed rhythm again; and the originally neat infantry formation suddenly flashed out several passages.
3,000 heavy armored iron cavalry emerged from several passages. The soldiers on the heavy armored iron cavalry were all wearing heavy armor, with armor from beginning to end, helmets, and even war horses were covered with armor. This was a real heavy chariot cavalry.
The heavy armored cavalry made a rumbling sound when they started, and the earth was even more shocking, even more than the losses caused by tens of thousands of cavalry when they ran.
This is the first time in the Han Dynasty to form a heavy armored cavalry like Lu Ning. In this era, there should be only Rome and Persia with such heavy armored cavalry; while the Han Dynasty did not have such heavy armored cavalry, only a few armored cavalry, which was mainly because such heavy armored must have tall and excellent war horses, which ordinary war horses could not bear at all.
After Lu Ning traveled through time, he immediately referenced the saddle and the iron palm on the war horse. For the saddle, it can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the cavalry and make it easier for soldiers to fight on the war horses; for the iron palm, it can greatly improve the weight-bearing ability, running ability, and sprinting ability of the war horses, and qualitatively improve the combat performance of the war horses.
Although the Flying Bear Army under Lu Ning used saddles and horse iron palms many years ago, Lu Ning's army has been fighting abroad for many years, basically facing ethnic combat on the northern grasslands. It has never carried out large-scale operations in China, so that saddles and horse iron palms are not very valued.
Even Ma Teng and Han Sui's cavalry did not use saddles and horse iron palms, let alone Qianghu tribes? Without the use of horse iron applause and thunder, even the best war horses would be difficult to bear the heavy armor. Lu Ning had a lot of war horses. It was difficult for other princes to choose a good war horse, but it was indeed an easy task for Lu Ning.
Zhao Yun sent 3,000 heavy-armored iron cavalry at one time, and the formation was very terrifying. The Qiang and Hu soldiers saw a man covered with steel all over their bodies. If they couldn't figure it out, they thought it was a monster? After all, this kind of iron cavalry, which was covered with armor all over their bodies, even the war horses were wearing armor, was the first time they showed off.
In particular, the impact force shown by the heavy armored iron cavalry made the Qiang and Hu iron cavalry shocking. The sabers in the hands of the heavy armored iron cavalry are not only sharp, but also protected all over the body. The weapons in the Qiang and Hu iron cavalry seem to have no effect on the heavy armored soldiers and cannot cause damage to the heavy armored soldiers at all. Although the heavy armored soldiers operate a little slower, they can see blood in each slash and slash, and are not afraid of the other party's slash and slash.
