Chapter 596 Death Knight (eighth)
Under Yanmen City.
The Turks fired thousands of arrows at once, and the rain of arrows fell down, completely covering a city wall that was several miles long.
Under this violent rain of arrows, countless Turks carried simple wooden ladders and pushed ladder trucks and began to move towards the high Yanmen city wall.
rear.
The golden wolf star stood tall, the war drums were like thunder, and the horns were constantly rising.
It's been five days.
The Sui army in the city was exhausted, and the Turks felt that they could break through Yanmen City by working harder.
At this time.
The city gate suddenly opened.
Shi Bi stood up all of a sudden, and it was like this every time. At the critical moment, the Sui army would break out of the city. The first few times were when the attack was the most intense. Seeing that the soldiers were about to go to the city, the Sui army came out of the city.
But today, the Sui army came out very early.
Before the ladders here could reach the city, the Sui army had already rushed out.
"Calligraphy the light cavalry and surround and kill this Sui army!"
Shibi gritted his teeth and said that every time the Sui army used this way to break his offensive, Shibi made special preparations today, and he wanted to let these Sui army go out without going back so that they would not dare to leave the city again.
The sound of the horn sounded and the wolf flag swayed.
An elite Turkic force, the supporting wolf cavalry, appeared.
And in front of the city gate.
The Turks who rushed to the nearest were still instinctively rushing towards the city gate. This was the case every time. Once the city gate was opened, the Turks would rush into the city.
He completely ignored the thick iron armored cavalry behind the city gate.
Some people shouted, some people shouted.
They all wanted to be the first to enter the city. Although the Turks did not have the credit for arriving first or trapping the battle, those who entered the city first could get more spoils.
"Long live the Great Sui!"
The fifty-nine-year-old Wang Rengong put down his cover, held a flat horse spear, and shouted loudly.
Liu Wuzhou and Yuchi Gong, two guys who were like the steel black bear, also shouted in unison.
"Long live the Great Sui Dynasty!"
One shout after another sounded.
Accompanied by this battle call.
Two thousand cavalrymen with cavalry rolled out of the city like a torrent of steel.
After five days of bloody battle, countless knights fell.
But they are still not afraid of death.
Two thousand heavy cavalry consisting of the frontier cavalry of the Yanmen Governor's Office and the royal heavy cavalry in the Xiaoguo Imperial Guard, all with their men and horses.
During the Han and Wei dynasties, there were very few heavy armored cavalry.
In the early days of the cavalry, because there were no stirrups, the cavalry was not the main force on the battlefield. They only undertake tasks such as scouts and contacts. Later, they developed into horse-riding infantry, horse-riding mobile, dismounting and infantry battles, and later, horse-riding archers.
Until the stirrups were perfected and the saddles continued to strengthen, the nations on the grassland became powerful cavalry soldiers.
The Han Dynasty was always haunted by these cavalry. Although the Han Dynasty also trained cavalry, its cavalry was not as good as the grassland cavalry. It was not until Wei Qing and his friends changed their cavalry to assault cavalry, equipped the cavalry with spears, and used assault to enter the formation. This made the Han army defeat the Huns again and again.
After all, the Han Dynasty was advanced after all, and the weapons and armor of the Han army were far superior to those of the Huns. When they gave up the cavalry fighting method of cavalry shooting, which was to attack the enemy's strengths with its own shortcomings, the Huns became tragic.
When it was the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were more melee in the Central Plains, and the technology and financial resources of all parties were not weak. So the armor was strengthened again, and then stronger armor-breaking horse spears and whip maces were used, and then armor-pikes and other blunt objects appeared.
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, especially in the north, heavy cavalrymen were found.
The powerful people even have thousands of heavy cavalrymen. The impact of these heavily armored cavalry is unquestionable, especially when dealing with infantry, which is simply unstoppable.
The impact of an armored cavalry can often defeat opponents ten times more than they already have.
When we arrive in the south, one or two hundred cavalry can often defeat thousands of soldiers and horses.
In the later Southern Dynasties, even armored cavalry often made armored cavalry, which used leather or cloth to make armored cavalry, and equipped light cavalry and disguised as heavy cavalry. However, when mixed in the army, they often scared the enemy.
The Turks did not have any heavy cavalry. They still advocated riding and shooting. The Turks almost all bows and light cavalry.
Riding and shooting is their natural skill, but the cost of armour riding is too high, and it is not easily affordable by the grassland tribes who shepherd sheep and raise horses.
The two thousand armored cavalrymen and horses all wore black bright light armor. This bright light armor was specially thickened, and the whole person was blocked by iron armor. They stood flat with black lacquered horse spears like a forest and came out of the city one after another.
Then quickly arrange an array outside the city.
The heavy riders lined up a long horizontal formation, with each row being more than ten steps apart.
Wang Rengong did not have a straitor array. They were heavy cavalry. Each heavy cavalry was a sharp knife. It swept across, and its attack area was larger and its lethality was more amazing, because no one could stop their impact.
The sky is dimmer.
The red helmets on the black iron helmets of the heavy knights were so dazzling.
The silver iron wrap on the black lacquer spear also shines.
Wang Rengong rode his horse at the front of the queue, and the veteran led the team to charge.
"For the Great Sui!"
Two thousand armored cavalry galloped, with people, horses and armor weapons, weighing more than a thousand pounds, and tens of millions of horse hooves stepped on the ground, causing the earth to shake.
What stood in front of them were the Turks who were like ants along the wall of Yanmen.
Turkic people were everywhere under the city several miles long. They were carrying ladders, pushing cloud ladders, and pushing attacking rams, and moving forward with great effort.
When they felt the huge vibration, the cavalry was sweeping over like a black storm.
Armored cavalry, also known as armored horse warriors or iron-armored cavalry, have both the strongest impact and the strongest defense. Therefore, every iron-armored cavalry is arrogant and ignores everything when charging.
People block and kill people, god block and kill gods!
The earth was trembling violently, and the sound of horse hooves roared like thunder.
Rows of iron armored cavalry rushed over, bringing up dust soaring into the sky.
Those Turkic people, like ants, had almost no chance to line up, were trampled by the torrent of steel, as vulnerable as paper.
The Turkic soldiers in the distance shouted loudly in panic.
Some generals tried to get these tribal warriors who abandoned their horses to attack the city to form a formation to meet the enemy, but they only had bows and knives and few spears. How could they fight against this rolling iron stream with their flesh and blood?
Shibi Khan's eyes kept staring at this side.
His eyelids were pounding.
"Put the bow and shoot them to death, and let the Fuli Wolf Cavalry shoot them from behind!"
The elite Fuli Wolf Rider rode his horse out. They did not fight the iron armored cavalry head-on, but appeared behind the heavy cavalry. This is also the wolf's tactic on the grassland, **.
The prince Li Lang, holding the silver wolf-headed flag, galloped on a horse, but the two thousand heavy cavalry of the Sui army ignored them at all and just rushed forward.
Yuchi Gong's horse spear could no longer remember how many Turkic soldiers had been killed through piercing. When he hit the back, even the horse spear fell. He pulled out the nine-section steel whip and smashed it left and right, but it was still unstoppable.
"Kill and kill!"
Once the heavy cavalry charge, they only have enemies blocking the road, and nothing else.
Those who block me will die!
Countless arrows were shot, but most of them were blocked by the armor and cloaks of the heavy cavalry. A few arrows shot through the iron armor outside, but there was also leather armor lining inside.
All men and horses are armored.
Defend to most arrows.
In the eyes of the Turks, these people are simply monsters that cannot be killed.
But these knights had long used iron chains to tie themselves with the war horse chain. Even if they were shot to death, they would not be dismissed. The war horses would still carry them and continue to charge with the team until they were exhausted.
Unless the war horses die, these knights will be like immortality and will charge continuously.
