Under Xia Cheng's order, Peng You only licked his mouth, but still ordered the cavalry behind him to attack. After all, it's a field battle. Among the coalition forces, their cavalry has the strongest field capability.
Immediately, Peng Youjun's cavalry immediately rushed out of the coalition army. At the same time, before Xianning Pass, Xinwang Zhaozhen waved his hand and ordered the heavy cavalry to attack. The two cavalry troops broke out from the two armies, and the battle directly changed from the general's single-handed fight to the official battle.
The commander of the heavy cavalry army was in charge of the world and had been injured and went to rest, while the deputy who was in charge of the world, Huaan, was still on the battlefield. Originally, after Huaan returned Liu Guang to Lin Yuhu, he was fighting against Yang Huai, but he was again given to him by Hu Tianqing. Snatching the opponent, so I can only fight with Lin Tao. Lin Tao didn't know much about martial arts, and how Hua An could be an opponent, so Hua An was easy to fight against him.
Seeing the heavy cavalry army dispatched behind him, Hua An immediately stepped up the offensive, first splitting Lin Tao's hand with a single knife, and then another knife hitting Lin Tao's arm. Lin Tao was in pain and immediately planted his horse, but Hua An didn't have the time to chase Lin Tao, so Tima rushed to meet the heavy cavalry army.
Seeing that the heavy cavalry army was about to arrive, Hua An turned his horse's head, raised his knife to the cavalry in front, and shouted: "Heavy cavalry army, assault."
In the coalition army formation, seeing this imposing heavy cavalry kill the cavalry in this way, Xia Cheng couldn't help frowning, turning his head and saying to Peng You: "Brother Peng, your cavalry don't need to be dispatched. Do the generals command? I don’t think the enemy’s cavalry can handle it!"
The cavalry that I am most proud of was questioned by Xia Cheng. Peng You's face immediately sank, and he shouted: "Brother Xia, my cavalry is the result of my exhausted efforts to select elite soldiers. They are all experienced battles, why do you need generals to command? Besides, the opponents are just some flashy heavy cavalry, how useful? Do they think they are the golden soldiers of the world or the king's army? A joke! With such a heavy armor. , How can you run?" As he said, Peng You also nodded the Zhao family heavy cavalry army in front with his hand, his face was full of disdain.
No wonder Peng Youhui despise the power of heavy cavalry so much. Before that, such men and horses were all covered with thick armored cavalry, and there was no such thing in the south. Only the Northern Golden Soldier had seen it, but it was impossible for the Zhao Jiayi Army to compare with the invincible Golden Soldier. After all, the combat effectiveness of the two sides is incomparable in Peng You's opinion.
Even Xia Cheng and others can't think of words to refute after listening to Peng You's words, they can only temporarily put their worries back into their hearts.
At this moment, the Peng Youjun cavalry and Zhao family heavy cavalry forces were about to rush together, and apart from Kai Lin Yuhu and Liu Guang who were still fighting, the other generals also retreated to their respective armies.
In all fairness, the Peng You cavalry is indeed one of the few elite cavalry in the world. Although Zhao Jiajun’s light cavalry can be called the two southern cavalry forces together with Peng Youjun’s cavalry, to a certain extent, Zhao Jun’s light cavalry is still slightly inferior to Peng. Friendly cavalry.
Nowadays, although there is no general command at the general level, the Peng Youjun cavalry has always maintained a neat formation and rushes forward, without any signs of confusion. Seeing that there was still nearly two hundred steps away from the enemy in front, without any orders, the cavalry soldiers consciously turned their hands and took up their bows and arrows and started shooting arrows.
"Shoot~!" All the cavalry soldiers shouted in unison, and arrows shot from the longbows in their hands. The countless arrows fell fiercely toward the heavy cavalry army like a storm. The cavalry can be said to be a magic weapon for their constant victory. Many enemies usually eat their arrow rain before they wait for a head-on confrontation with the cavalry, which can be said to be the first loss before the battle.
Seeing the arrows fell towards the heavy cavalry soldiers, Hua An and all the heavy cavalry soldiers did not show the slightest fear and continued to rush forward. After the arrows fell, there was a dense clashing sound, and the countless arrows were actually bounced back by the heavy armor worn by the heavy cavalry soldiers. Only a few arrows were inserted into the gaps in the armor, but these gaps were not critical parts. Even if the soldiers got arrows in their bodies, they didn't even sway, and continued to strike forward.
Such a strong defense force shocked all the coalition forces. Peng You immediately shouted: "This! How is this possible?" Xia Cheng and others on the side were also full of astonishment. They were most concerned about the cavalry's riding and shooting. It's a headache, no one has come up with a good solution. Unexpectedly, Zhao Jun would use this seemingly flashy heavy cavalry to solve this problem. This was a reminder to Xia Cheng and the others.
However, this was not enough. Xia Cheng and others knew how much money and manpower it would take to set up heavy cavalry. If it is just to prevent the cavalry from shooting, and spend a lot of money to build such a heavy cavalry, it would be more than worthwhile.
Just as Xia Cheng and others were thinking about it, suddenly, a loud shout came from the formation of the heavy cavalry army, but it was Huaan who ran in the forefront. He even put his big sword king on the back of his horse, but he drew a long and thick spear from the other end of the horse back, just like this, leaning forward on his armpit, and speeding up the mount. Speed of running.
With Hua'an taking the lead, the heavy cavalry soldiers behind him also followed suit. The only exception is that their own weapons are the kind of special spears.
At this time, the speed of the heavy cavalry army is already very fast, and the formation of the heavy cavalry army is different from the cone-shaped formation of the general cavalry charge, but it is a very strange square formation.
As long as anyone with a bit of military knowledge knows, the phalanx is a heavy defense and is not suitable for cavalry. For the cavalry, the one that can exert their greatest power is the cone. Now that the heavy knight had expelled the phalanx, this made Xia Cheng and the others confused again.
On the other hand, the cavalry, although the cavalry and shooting did not work, but the cavalry soldiers are all experienced battles, this incident did not cause any impact on them. All the soldiers directly put away the longbows in their hands, picked up the long spears hung on the saddle, and rushed up with an angry roar.
In Peng You's expectation, this kind of clumsy heavy cavalry would definitely be rushed to pieces by his own cavalry, and finally defeated. However, the facts were quite different from his expectations. As soon as the cavalry and the heavy cavalry came into contact with the heavy cavalry army, the heavy cavalry army, which had already fully raised the speed, immediately slammed the cavalry into a backlash. In particular, the spear in the hands of the heavy cavalry army directly pierced the body of the cavalry soldiers of Peng Youjun who had hit them head-on. On the spears of Huaan, three cavalry soldiers were even hung up in one breath.
Of course, not all the cavalry were stabbed by the spears of heavy cavalry. After all, these cavalry were soldiers carefully selected by Peng You, each with superb riding skills. Some soldiers dodged the spears stabbed by the enemy and raised their spears to fight back, but at this time they discovered that their spears could not pierce these heavily armed enemies at all, and even their armored horses could not hurt them. .
When the letter king Zhao Zhen in front of Xianning City saw it, he couldn't help but sneered: "Stupid, letting the light cavalry and the heavy cavalry face each other head-on, it's almost death."
In fact, believing in Wang Zhaozhen's words was wronging Peng You and the others. For a head-on charge, Heavy Cavalry is far more powerful than Qingqi. It can be said that the generals who have established such a unit naturally know this.
But Peng You and others had never seen the heavy cavalry of Jinbing, and they had never expected that the heavy cavalry was so powerful, let alone the fighting method and the advantages and disadvantages of the heavy cavalry.
Shan Hongfei has been guarding Wugong Mountain for many years. Although he heard that King Zhaozhen had formed a heavy cavalry in Nanjunzhai, this was the first time he saw the power of this heavy cavalry, and he was stunned. He turned his head and exclaimed at Xin Wang Zhao Zhen: "My lord. This heavy cavalry is so powerful? If we expand the scale of this heavy cavalry, wouldn't it be invincible in the world?"
For Shan Hongfei's words, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen only responded with a calm smile. Although the heavy cavalry is very powerful, the shortcomings are also obvious. The reason why Xia Cheng and others suffered such a big loss this time had a lot to do with their ignorance of the characteristics of heavy cavalry.
With the abilities of Xia Cheng and others, I believe that the shortcomings of the heavy cavalry will soon be seen. Instead of spending a lot of money and manpower to expand the scale of the heavy cavalry, it would be more practical to form more other troops.
At this time, Hu Tianqing and the others also rushed back. Hua Zhonglong obviously hadn't been addicted to the fight, and said cursingly: "Mother. As long as you give me a little more time, I will definitely kill that kid Chao Guang." Hua Zhonglong's words are not bragging. Although Huazhonglong was a bit inferior to Chao Guang when he was in Pingxiang, since he was in the Huimeng, Huazhonglong's skills have been greatly improved.
Coupled with these years of fighting against these martial arts masters under the account of the letter king Zhao Zhen, I don't know how much martial arts is higher than before. Just now Chao Guang was completely crushed and beaten by Hua Zhonglong, if it wasn't too late, Chao Guang would lose sooner or later.
Xin Wang Zhao Zhen and others just smiled at the complaint of the Dragon in the Flower. Xin Wang Zhao Zhen turned to look at the lead Hu Tianqing. At this time, the purple red on Hu Tianqing's body has disappeared, and Xin Wang Zhao Zhen even turned to Hu Tian. Qing asked: "Hu Tianqing, how about it?"
Hu Tianqing smiled at the letter king Zhao Zhen, and grabbed the back of his head and said: "My lord, my practice is getting more and more proficient. If it weren't for them to run fast, I would definitely catch them all. "
Shan Hongfei became more confused as he heard it, and turned his head to look at Xin Wang Zhao Zhen. This time without Shan Hongfei asking, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen explained with a smile: "In order to overcome the weakness of Hu Tianqing this kid’s exercises, I specially treated him After special training, he has done hard work these days. Now he does not need too long to use the exercises to perform the exercises, and the side effects are much smaller, and he will not be unconscious like before. Another point is that Hu Tianqing’s exercises can actually make his body stronger and stronger. Hard Qigong makes his body like a stone. As long as it’s not yours or me, you can’t hurt him. Every minute."
After hearing Wang Zhaozhen’s explanation, Shan Hongfei was shocked. He has a deep understanding of how strong Hu Tianqing is after using the exercises. To be fair, he is not even Hu Tianqing’s opponent. .
Previously, Shan Hongfei was able to beat Hu Tianqing, relying entirely on fighting and not giving Hu Tianqing the time to move, but now Hu Tianqing has overcome this shortcoming, it is equivalent to saying that Zhao Jun is now the strongest The master is no longer his Shan Hongfei, but the honest and honest Hu Tianqing in front of him.
And when Xin Wang Zhaozhen and others were talking about it, the heavy cavalry army and the cavalry had clearly decided on the battlefield. In fact, from the beginning of this battle, Peng Youjun's cavalry was doomed to fail. A strategic error made it impossible for Peng Youjun's cavalry to defeat the heavy cavalry, no matter how elite they were.
Less than half a moment later, the cavalry had already suffered more than half of the casualties. Seeing that Peng You was bleeding in his heart, he immediately ignored what Xia Cheng, the leader of the alliance, ordered, and immediately shouted: "Retreat! Retreat! Retreat all to me."
As the coalition leader, the decision-making power of the entire battle should be in the hands of Xia Cheng, but Peng You ordered a retreat without even asking himself, which made Xia Cheng feel a little unhappy. However, there was nothing wrong with the order issued by Peng You. Xia Cheng just frowned and nodded in agreement with Peng You's opinion.
Soon, a crisp sound of gold jingle sounded, and the cavalry who had not sacrificed heard the gold jingle sound immediately turned their heads and began to withdraw from the battlefield. Huaan only took his soldiers and horses to impact for a certain distance, and then ordered to stop the pursuit. .
The heavy cavalry has a big shortcoming, that is, the endurance of the mount. No matter how you train, there is a limit to the endurance of a horse. Carrying such a heavy armor and adding a soldier, the horse of the heavy cavalry will not last long.
If we continue, I am afraid that all the horses will be exhausted. Then it will be in trouble. Therefore, Huaan will accept it as soon as he sees it, so as not to reveal the flaws when the time comes. In turn, the coalition forces will counterattack, which is bad. Up.
Although the battle between the two armies came to an end because of the retreat of the cavalry, the battle on the battlefield did not end there. Lin Yuhu and Liu Guang were still fighting in the center of the battlefield.
At this time, Liu Guangke was not as pretentious as usual. On his body, there were wounds from east to west. Looking back at Lin Yuhu in front of him, he didn't even have any injuries. It was self-evident who won and lost in this battle. Looking at Lin Yuhu, who was always calm in front of him, Liu Guang kept panting and staring at him.
"My lord, go back!" Hui Zhong, who had just returned to the formation, realized that Liu Guang hadn't returned. He hurriedly shouted loudly, and Chao Guang simply patted ahead, wanting to save Liu Guang and come back.
"Don't come here." Liu Guang saw this, and hurriedly shouted: "This battle is my own battle. If I can't divide the victory or defeat, I won't feel at ease even if I die. None of you should come over." Liu Guanghui In this way, I also saw that the heavy cavalry troops on the left and right had surrounded him, and several generals under his men rushed in. Not only could they not save themselves, but they would lose their lives.
After being drunk by Liu Guang, Huizhong, Chao Guang and others subconsciously stopped. They have followed Liu Guang for many years and have subconsciously developed the habit of following Liu Guang's orders. They couldn't resist Liu Guang's order at all.
As a wise man in Liu Guangjun's army, Zhao Guang saw this situation and quickly turned his head and said to Xia Cheng: "Master Xia. Please help Master Xia to save my family."
As Liu Guang's subordinates, they could not defy Liu Guang's orders, but Xia Cheng and others sat on an equal footing with Liu Guangping, so naturally they didn't care about Liu Guang's orders. They should be able to save Liu Guang.
Hearing Zhao Guang's request, Xia Cheng, Gao An, and Peng You did not immediately answer, but hesitated. Peng You had conflicts with Liu Guang before, so he just turned his head and pretended not to hear. Gao An's expression was complicated, his face changed several times, but in the end he said to Xia Cheng: "Brother Xia, you are the leader of the allied army, and everything depends on you to make a decision."
Seeing Gao An actually kicked the ball to him, Xia Cheng's cheek twitched. He glanced at Gao An and Peng You beside him, and then smiled and said to Zhao Guang: "General Zhao, Brother Liu Guang's wishes As a warrior, how can we fight against the enemy generals, how can we go against his will? Rather, let's take a look at the situation first. Maybe Liu Guang brother can still win the battle."
Hearing Xia Cheng's refusal, Zhao Guang's expression couldn't help but change. He immediately understood the reason. It was obvious that the three of Xia Cheng wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. The so-called covenant, to put it bluntly, is just a matter of a few words. Liu Guang controls Nanchang and the Nankang army, and it is also the confidant of Xia Cheng and the three of them. It seems that they want to take this opportunity to get rid of Liu Guang. .
Although he had guessed the despicable thoughts of Xia Cheng and others, Zhao Guang had nothing to do and did not dare to turn his face with Xia Cheng and others. Even if he held back his anger, he held his fist and said goodbye, turned his head and returned to Huizhong and others. among.
After Zhao Guang quietly told Hui Zhong and the others about the whole situation, the grumpy Chao Guang was almost out of anger to ask Xia Cheng and the others to settle the account, but he was held back by the more calm Hui Zhong.
The other generals were also silent. They knew that they could never turn their faces with Xia Cheng. Otherwise, not only Liu Guang could not be saved, but even all of their Liu Guangda army would be wiped out. Now, they can only put their hope on Liu Guang and look forward to Liu Guang's victory.
On the other side of the battlefield, the letter king Zhao Zhen also heard Liu Guang's words, and a glimmer of approval flashed in his eyes. Liu Guang was really extraordinary. The letter king Zhao Zhen nodded, then shouted to the messenger behind him: "Procedure. Let Huaan withdraw the heavy cavalry army first."
The generals behind Xin Wang Zhao Zhen couldn't help but stunned, but they were all warriors, and soon understood the feelings of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen. After the messenger passed the order of Wang Zhaozhen, Hua An did not hesitate. With a big wave of his hand, he withdrew the heavy cavalry army and handed the battlefield to Lin Yuhu and Liu Guang.
Lin Yuhu was completely unmoved by the surrounding changes. Lifting the iron halberd in his hand, Lin Yuhu stabs towards Liu Guang's face with a single hand. When Liu Guang saw this, he immediately raised the sword to block it, but at this time, Lin Yuhu's other iron halberd stabbed from Liu Guang's right side again. At this moment, Liu Guang could no longer block the halberd. He could only fall back, but failed to avoid it completely. The crescent blade on the iron halberd made another blood mark on Liu Guang's cheek.
