Chapter 802: Murong Hao's Fall


{Thank you, friend heo, I live next door, my surname is Wang, and my friend Qingfeng and the light moon each have two monthly passes, and my friend Three Gorges Farmer's monthly pass} According to common sense, only pure-blooded horses from the Western Regions can be equipped with heavy horses, but the cost is sky-high, and it is difficult to get it, and King Mikawa can only choose strong Mongolian horses to fill the number.

Equipped with heavy cavalry, that is, with armored cavalry, armor cavalry, human armor also, for the weight and thickening of the bright light armor, the cavalry's fighting weapons are also changed from halberd to lance, with equipment, then horse armor, by the face curtain, chicken neck, when chest, horse body armor, after the ride and parasitism six parts, of which parasitism is more distinctive, is a broom-like component resting on the horse's tail upturned, it can be said that the horse with the equipment, in addition to the horse's legs, the whole body is protected by heavy armor.

The rear of the Goguryeo army was nervously dressed, Yang Yan's eyes crossed the oncoming cavalry, and threw it over, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, in the army of Liu Yao and Shi Hu, he did not see the heavy cavalry, but to his surprise, the poor Goguryeo actually bought the old man's belongings.

Xun Rui followed Yang Yan's gaze and couldn't help exclaiming: "This is, could it be the legendary heavy ride."

"Hmph" Xun Guan snorted coldly: "Don't look at his scary appearance, in fact, he can't use it, it can only rush straight, it can't outflank in a roundabout way, and the distance is extremely limited, too far for people to bear."

Heavy cavalry is generally used in a specific environment, and the reason why the cavalry is sharp is that the use of soldiers is superb, and the speed of the war is expensive, and the cavalry loses its flexibility and can only be a lamb to the slaughter.

In fact, according to my sister, the reason why the Goguryeo people will accompany them with heavy cavalry is mostly the idea of using it as a killer weapon for a fatal blow, but when the heavy cavalry is used to deal with the light cavalry, it is the beginning of the battle, and he will be dragged to death, General Han and General Pu will not fight hard with it, heh, I really can't imagine that this ambush of the Goguryeo people will meet this legendary guy, Ling Yuan doesn't have to care about him, but the enemy in front of us can't despise it."

"Hmm" Xun Rui nodded violently, only to feel that the blood was boiling all over her body, and she didn't want to look at Yang Yan.

Yang Yansen smiled coldly: "Yisheng, Yu Yao, I'll leave it to you here." ” "No" Yao Yisheng and Yu Yao hurriedly arched their hands: "Please rest assured, the king will stop the Goguryeo people in the end, and please take care of the king."

Yang Yan nodded, then waved his hand violently, the horn suddenly sounded, and the 40,000 horses were separated in an instant, Yao Yisheng and Guan Shang led 20,000 horses, gradually slowed down the speed of the horses, and formed a three-horizontal formation in the run, each team of nearly 7,000 horses.

Yang Yan led the Qianniu guard, and each wing had 7,000 horsemen to flank the sides.

King Mikawa's eyes narrowed, the tactics of the Ming army were very simple, purely to retreat from the enemy, and the cavalry on both wings could be outflanked at any time, so that he instinctively felt the danger, but he couldn't retreat half a step, he could only break through and intercept it, and then turn around and bite the cavalry on both wings of the Ming army, and the formation of him and Murong Haobu was no longer chaotic, but absorbed the advantages of the Ming cavalry, combined with its own characteristics to form a skirmish line, which could not only use dispersion to weaken the lethality of the Ming army's arrows, It is also conducive to giving full play to the steppe cavalry's flexible and changeable individual cavalry and archery skills.

Goguryeo and Murong were not nomadic people, but fishing and hunting people, whose ancestors lived by fishing and hunting in the deep mountains and old forests, which made their impact far less powerful than the Xiongnu and Rouran and other grassland herdsmen, but they were more adaptable to the environment, more enduring, and more cunning.

History has long proved that the Murong tribe is the awakening of the fishing and hunting nation, and since the Turks, the Khitan and Jurchen have successively established the country and announced the rise of the fishing and hunting nation, and Mongolia is the last glory of the nomadic people, since then, the fishing and hunting nation has officially stepped onto the stage of history.

Out of the nature of the fishing and hunting nation, Murong Hao and King Meichuan both gave up attacking the Ming army with a fish scale array, after all, even if they broke through the Ming army's interception, but the galloping cavalry was difficult to turn around, and the Ming army could gather on both sides to calmly release arrows, so the two attacked with a skirmish line.

"Stretch" The bowstring in front vibrate, the bright silver steel short arrows were overwhelming, and a strong sense of crisis rose from Murong Hao's heart, he could judge that the crossbows of the Ming army were more powerful than those under the city of Chang'an, in fact, in order to guard against the crossbow arrows of the Ming army, the front of the horses was covered with soft armor, and the throat and other vital points were inlaid with iron plates, originally he thought that it was enough to resist two or three rounds of crossbow arrows, but from today's point of view, he obviously underestimated the Ming army.

When the sound of the bowstring came, Murong Bu from front to back, one after another put a beautiful kick to hide, Goguryeo had the same example, even the king of Mikawa was nearly fifty years old, and he also stepped off the war horse with one leg, his body shrank, one hand tightly pulled the reins of the horse, and half of his body squatted on the side of the horse, which can effectively reduce the probability of being hit by the arrow.

Murong Bu's pedaling was almost neatly hidden, and Yang Yan's pupils shrank when he saw it, but Goguryeo was much more scattered, and in an instant, there was a loud rumbling sound in the formation of the two armies, and the neighing of the horses before they died.

Rows of war horses rushed to the ground, and the soldiers of the two armies who made a posture of hiding in the kick were thrown out before they could react, and some others were directly crushed to death by the horses that fell to the ground, Murong Hao's heart was terrified, the penetrating power of the Ming army's strong crossbow broke his luck, but it was without warning, his body shook suddenly, and the horse was hit by an arrow and knocked down, throwing him into the air, the sky was spinning, and the wind was loud in his ears.

"Bang" Murong Hao fell hard, and before he could get up, a horse's hoof stepped on his chest.

"Kara" There was a crisp sound in his chest, his sternum was cracked, his heart was in severe pain, and the fragments of bones pierced into the atrium, his strength and essence were rapidly lost, his neck was crooked, and he lost consciousness.

In the battle between the two armies, no matter how noble the identity is, life is as fragile as an ant, Murong Hao died, and no one noticed.

King Mikawa escaped by luck, but his body and soul were trembling, he saw it clearly, more than a thousand rides, and in the blink of an eye, it was gone He subconsciously reined in the reins of the horse, the speed of the horse just slowed down, and the Ming army shot a second round of short arrows in the formation, because the distance was closer, the damage was more amazing, according to the estimate of King Mikawa, the soldiers who fell from the horse and died were close to 1,500 horsemen With his instinct to run if he can't fight, King Mikawa instinctively wanted to run, but his warriors, together with Murong Ministry, still relied on inertia to rush and kill, which made him always undetermined to escape.

Nearly 7,000 short arrows per round, six rounds of non-stop firing a total of more than 40,000, a large number of horse corpses blocking the way, because it is a skirmisher line, the cross-section is very large, there is no way to bypass, the two armies were forced to slow down, which in turn increased the casualties, the combat skills are superb, no matter how fierce they are not afraid of death, what is the use of touching the other side In addition to dropping a large number of corpses, they can only do it in a hurry, after six rounds, the number of people has decreased by nearly 10,000.

"Kill" Suddenly, the left and right sides broke out shouting and killing, each 7,500 cavalry from the flank, the Chinese cavalry retreated to both sides, Yang Yan and Xun Guan led Qianniuwei like a javelin, shooting away On the other side of the nameless river, the 20,000 Ming army actually stopped attacking, and the whole army set up a formation in the same place, where the tragic battle on the opposite side could be clearly seen, but Han Huang and Pu An only took a cursory look and looked away.

There is no need to worry about the battle on the other side, the difference is only how much it costs and how many people escape, they are concerned about the heavy equipment in front of them. "" Pu An couldn't help but scolded his mother: "The Goguryeo people are really fast in armor, otherwise they can be surrounded and shot to death with random arrows." ” As soon as Han Huang and Pu An led 20,000 horsemen out of the woods, they judged that it was possible to rush over before the heavy cavalry was armoured, so they decisively stopped and waited for the other party.

Han Huang pondered: "The protection of this thing is not weak, we don't know if our crossbow arrows can be shot through, it is really troublesome to be attacked by him, Ben General has a proposal, it is better to defeat the servant army first, and then find a way to drag the heavy cavalry to death, what does General Pu think?"

"Good" Pu An's eyes lit up: "Anyway, don't worry about the king, even if we slow down, we can hold on to the king's support, and I'm afraid that he won't be able to fly with wings."

The two of them returned to their respective formations, and sat and waited for the equipment to be loaded and heavily mounted.

It didn't take long for the old soldiers to dress neatly, the weight of the armor horse was extremely terrifying, and they needed the help of others to step on the war horse, and they had to run when they stepped on the horse, if they sat on the horse like an ordinary light horse, even if they were fat and fat, they couldn't bear it for a long time, let alone the Mongolian horse Each old soldier was supported by the three servants, almost all of them slammed on horseback, although the Ming army on the opposite side lined up to make people uneasy, but people waited, they couldn't afford to wait, and they had to attack with heavy armor 。
