Chapter 318 The unstoppable Yu Linqi and the defeated Wei army

Looking at the black-armored heavy cavalry that seemed to block out the sky and the sun, a flash of astonishment flashed across Jin Yao's face, which soon turned into horror.

"Form up and meet the enemy!"

Jin Yao roared, using the loudest roar in his life to order his Wei soldiers to form formations.

But when the Wei soldiers in the front row heard the deafening sound of horse hooves, the shaking of the ground, and the black torrent that seemed to swallow up the sun and covered the sky, their eyes gradually became dull, and in an instant they turned into pure horror.

Before guns replaced swords, swords and halberds, heavy cavalry was an invincible battlefield weapon.

The heavy cavalry has a weight of half a ton and is accelerating down the mountain at a speed of more than ten meters per second. Even the ground is trembling. This kind of terrifying scene has already made people lose courage before they have even engaged in battle.

.

Not to mention these small soldiers who had never seen heavy cavalry, even the generals and the general Jin Yao had lost their courage.

"Fire the arrow!"

Jin Yao took off the bow and arrow from the side of the horse's belly. Without aiming, he bent the bow and shot an arrow at a Yu Lin sudden rider.

But the arrows that were always unfavorable and packed with huge force only penetrated the layer of heavy armor and the soft armor made of soft and close-fitting silk, and penetrated the abdomen of the Yulin Rider.

Such a result made Jin Yao a little shocked. He used his arm strength to use his internal strength to shoot the arrow. Even a soldier could penetrate two or three people. However, the arrow got stuck in the body of the Yu Lin Tuqi.

The archers of the Wei army beside Jin Yao also fired a shower of arrows. The rain of arrows from the sky hit the black torrent in front of them, but they found that it was just like pebbles sinking into the sea. There was a clanging sound of arrows falling on the heavy armor.

After a crisp sound, it was inserted into Yu Lin's armor, but no blood was seen.

And the Yulin Cavalry, which had several arrows inserted but still roared towards the Wei army, gave people an unstoppable and unrivaled ferocious aura. The Wei soldiers at the bottom did not understand how any armor could withstand such

Rain of arrows, they subconsciously thought that the Qin army in front of them might have borrowed the power of ghosts and gods, so they would not die even if they were hit by swords and bows.

Only one out of ten of the Wei army's arrows could penetrate that layer of heavy armor, and even fewer could penetrate the heavy armor and then penetrate the close-fitting silk soft armor with excellent toughness and elasticity.

There were only a few unlucky ones, those who were shot by the generals, and those who were shot through the gaps in their armors and faceplates, and were injured, but this happened to only a few people.

Facing the rain of arrows from the Wei army, Yulin Tuqi was not polite.

Each of the Yulin Riders held a small and exquisite Zhang Qin crossbow in their hands. They fired the crossbow arrows in unison without the need for Li Xin, the commander of Qian, to give orders.

The arrow rain formed by the thousands of crossbow bolts fell, and the Wei army's front row soldiers, who were already in some confusion, became even more chaotic when they were killed by the arrows.

"Feather Rider, charge!"

Li Xin took the lead, raised the three-foot Qin sword in his hand, and rushed into the already chaotic Wei army's formation.

In this era without stirrups, fighting with two hands while holding a long weapon was too risky and training was more difficult, so cavalry generally used long swords of more than three feet to fight.

Li Xin waved the Qin sword in his hand and killed several Wei soldiers. The armored war horse with strong limbs and black body roared and knocked away a Wei soldier who was blocking his way, instantly breaking him.

sternum and ribs.

Not only that, the huge impact caused the soldier who was knocked away to hit the robes behind him hard, knocking three or four robes to the ground. The black war horse stepped down heavily, and its strong four hooves trampled on a Wei Junjia.

On the soldier's chest, a horseshoe-shaped mark sunken inward suddenly appeared on the chest armor.

And this is just a microcosm of the battlefield.

In this era, heavy cavalry is an invincible weapon if there are no restrictions on strategies and terrain.

But with the Qin army's deliberate and unintentional surprise attack and the plain below them, there was no possibility of stopping the Yulin Cavalry.

Jin Yao's eyes were about to burst. The Yulin Cavalry had already broken through the front army's defense line, and then he suddenly remembered a question.

Where did the Qin army get its cavalry from?

And they are such elite heavy armored cavalry!

Cavalry is the nemesis of infantry, not to mention heavy cavalry against the light infantry under his command.

It is true that in the battle between Yin and Jin, Wu Qi used the heavy armored infantry of Wei Wuzu to defeat the Qin army's cavalry, but they were only light cavalry.

Faced with such heavily armored cavalry that were armed to the teeth, even the soldiers of Wei who were at their peak under Wu Qi would probably be unable to resist.

Jin Yao could only pray that this heavy cavalry with only a thousand men could not penetrate his army formation due to the limited number of people.

However, just as Jin Yao was thinking this, the tremors on the ground became more intense, and smoke billowed from the flanks.

Under the smoke and dust, there was a Yulin Cavalry dressed exactly like the Qin army that was charging at the moment.

After finally plucking up the courage to stand up and form a formation after a group of Wei generals killed several deserters, the Wei soldiers were a little at a loss when they looked at the other thousand-man Feathering Cavalry rushing from their flanks.

The ground froze in place.

Thousands of Yu Lin's cavalry were divided into two groups and attacked the left and right wings of the Wei army respectively.

In other words, these Wei soldiers saw only 500 Yulin Riders on the flanks, but these 500 Yulin Riders made people feel inexplicable fear.

The roaring momentum, as if the sky was shattering and the earth was shattering, made many Wei soldiers scream in fear. They no longer ignored the swords of the war supervisors beside them, threw down their swords and ran away.

Arrows cannot hurt, halberds cannot penetrate, and they will vomit blood and die if they are hit. Once such an enemy rushes over, they will almost certainly die!

A deserter is like a snowflake in an avalanche. He is inconspicuous in this army, but he can bring his own fear to the people around him, causing an avalanche-like collapse of an army.

As the Wei army collapsed, the Yulin cavalry that rushed in like an overwhelming force pierced through the Wei army's formation as if it were unstoppable.

When the two Yulin cavalry led by Li Xin and Qiang Yu had penetrated the Wei army's formation and before they could turn around for the second charge, Su Jiao also led the scout battalion into the battlefield.

Although it bears the name of a scout battalion, if anyone really dares to treat this thousand-man light cavalry as a scout, that would be a complete fool.

The difference between light cavalry and heavy cavalry is that the first thing is fast.

Different from Li Xin and Qiang Yu's task of storming the enemy's position, on another hill, he observed the Wei army for a long time, always looking for the location of the Wei army's baggage.

When Su Jiao confirmed the location of the Wei army's baggage, the light cavalry, as fast as the wind, passed through the collapsed Wei army formation, like a black poisonous dragon, heading straight for the target.

Although not as unstoppable as the sudden cavalry, the defeated Wei army was unable to organize an organized interception at all.

In addition, the Wei soldiers watched another Qin army's cavalry charge into the formation, and it was even more swift and fierce. They thought that this cavalry was the Qin army's ace, and they had no intention of resisting. They focused on running past the robe in front of them.

They cannot outrun the four-legged cavalry on two legs, but as long as they outrun their own robes, they will never be the ones who die.

And when Su Jiao arrived at the place where the Wei army's baggage was, he immediately took out the fire oil cans tied to both sides of the horse's belly and threw them out fiercely. The sticks fell to the ground along with the flaming sticks.

The kerosene and sparks touched each other, and with a loud bang, raging fire rose into the sky and swallowed up the nearby Wei soldiers.

The fierce flames were merciless, devouring the baggage that the Wei army relied on for survival, and also devouring the lives of the Wei soldiers.

After burning the baggage, the scout battalion led by Su Jiao immediately withdrew from the battlefield.

After Li Xin and Qiang Yu carried out the second round of charge, they also took turns to cover and exit the battlefield, laughing happily, and returned to Yanshi City.
