Li Hong is wearing the armor provided by the Han Department, which is a cavalry model with skirt armor, shoulder pads, and leg guards: "The weapons are also very sophisticated" The hundred people that Shen Zhong brought, each with a set of cavalry-style armor, then it is a hundred sets.
Today, there are not many mounted cavalry.
Note that this is a mounted cavalry, not a mounted heavy cavalry.
Although both of these arms have armor, they are two cavalry with different roles.
For example, the Han Department provided human armor, but the war horse was not equipped with horse harness, which was equivalent to a kind of cavalry.
If it is equipped with heavy horses, people and horses should be put on armor, and weapons are even more particular, at least long weapons must be necessary.
The long weapon equipped with heavy cavalry should be a heavy weapon, and the specific heavy weapon should depend on what kind of ethnic characteristics.
Wei Junchi turned his head and glanced back, behind them were the Han cavalry waiting quietly, most of them Hu people.
He heard that Liu Yan, the leader of the Han Dynasty, had integrated the surrounding Hu families, but he made up five hundred cavalry that could be regarded as cavalry, so he thought about it, but he thought that he would casually take out a hundred sets of metal armor and felt that it was not like it.
By the way, Liu Yan also equipped the Hu family cavalry that was summoned, but it was leather armor.
For the cavalry of the headquarters of the Han Department, it is also equipped with leather armor.
It's definitely not a problem that outsiders are treated better than their families, the Han Department has studied the armor of the cavalry, but some problems have not been solved, such as on some movable joints, naturally there is also a lower back part.
The cavalry is particular about wearing armor, the metal armor is too hard, the tighter the metal armor, especially the corset, leaning forward and bending down is a big trouble, there is no stirrup under the feet, and no one can wear metal armor on the horse and fight, or millions of Western Han Dynasty troops, how can they practice so much.
Most of the mounted cavalry of the Western Han Dynasty were still gathered Xiongnu soldiers and miscellaneous Hu This is a valley full of green shade, similar valleys are not rare in Changguang County, after all, 35% of the land is mountainous, the rest are mostly depressions and basins, and a very small number are plains.
The war horses are all covered with horse chews and pockets, what prevents the horses from making noises, except for a few people, most of them also have grass roots in their mouths.
They had been in this valley all morning, and the dew on their bodies had already evaporated, but they looked either their faces covered with beads of sweat, or their necklines were soaked.
To be honest, it's really not so pleasant to stay in the valley in the summer, because the valley is not very well ventilated.
Next to Li Hong and Wei Junchi were Xu Zheng and Li Tan, Xu Zheng and Li Tan from the Han Department were not the commanders of the cavalry team this time, and the two came to learn how to fight cavalry battles.
Today is the fifth day since the end of the battle of the Lou family, they rested at the battlefield site of the Lou family for three days, and on the fourth day, they left the battlefield site of the Lou family, circled around the perimeter, and then smeared to this valley.
The valley is not very deep, the mountains on both sides are gentle and steep, and there are actually observers on the high places on both sides, who are responsible for lookouts. has been dull for a long time, and it's not that no one has won the final grass title, but as soon as he took it down, he was immediately glared at by the robe.
This is a war, not a game, if someone dies, some people will be satisfied with the wrong, and directly kill the person who did the death.
There was a voice in the distance, sounding like a desolate trumpet The four of them immediately looked up at the high places to the left and right, and the yellow and red flags shook on the steeper side, indicating that the object of the ambush had appeared.
It's just that when it appears, it appears, why do you blow the trumpet Li Hong and Wei Junchi glanced at each other, and there was deep suspicion in their eyes, but neither of them made a sound.
Before the battle, even if the commander is suspicious in his heart, he must not say it in front of his subordinates, it is something that will not help the war that is about to break out, but will convey the doubts.
Doubts can turn into fear, so there must be no doubts in the army.
I don't know if I heard it wrong or what, there was a shout of killing outside Li Hong looked in amazement at the steep height, where a red flag was constantly shaking.
"The pawn has been spotted by enemy scouts."
Li Hong stood up, waved his hand behind him, and said to Xu Zheng: "The situation has changed, order someone to get up and prepare."
Wait for orders. ” Xu Zheng got up and turned his head to see that the people with Li Hong had already gotten up, and he waved his hand at those people in the Han Department.
What happened is not a good thing anyway, the facts have once again proved that there will not be a trained strong army, the so-called elite is simply fought out of the sea of corpses and blood, that is because they have experienced life and death more than once, and know what they can't do Lu Tai was full of iron, they had been in ambush in the woods before, from early morning to close to noon, there was nothing wrong with eating dry food before, but it was in the case that he didn't know, someone actually ran to find water without permission, and the result was that Serona's scouts were spotted and followed, and they were found ambushing in the woods.
Originally, it was discovered that the convoy from the Serona tribe stopped advancing, and the ambush on the Han side went bankrupt.
However, it was obvious that he could not ambush and go bankrupt, so Lü Tai had no choice but to send liaison soldiers, and he led his troops out to the edge of the forest, beheading the two soldiers who went out to fetch water without permission and caused the ambush to fail.
The sound of the horn just now was the cavalry gathered by the people of the Serona tribe, and they obviously noticed that the Lutai side was all infantry, and the number was only more than a thousand.
According to the conventional rule that one cavalry can withstand three infantry, they have two hundred regular cavalry, nearly four hundred horses, and more than three hundred herdsmen driving chariots, and it is obvious that the leader of the tribe can abuse the enemy who inexplicably wants to sneak up on him Four-legged people are always able to despise two-legged, especially when Seru Junde saw those enemies leaving the edge of the woods, he really couldn't think of any reason not to abuse them.
Of course, Seru Junde is cautious enough, with an ambushed enemy army, then will there be a second or third ambushed enemy army He sent dozens of scouts, he must have explored the surrounding situation first, after all, he can be singled out as a commander, and no matter how stupid he is, he should have some basic military literacy If you are not detected in advance, it can be considered an ambush, if you have vigilance, you can still be ambushed, then it should be how brain-dead the ambushed party is Lu Tai was naming the soldiers in formation, he kept wiping his face, and the sweat was not only due to the heat, but also to the hesitation and nervousness in his heart.
The sword and shield soldiers and spearmen were separated by one in the front row, and the second row back to the fourth row were all spearmen, so as to ensure that they were resistant to collisions and arrows, and that there were enough dense spikes on all sides.
There is a certain open space in the middle, which is enough space for the archers to move, and also for the wounded.
The troops on the Han side's side were in a good formation, but they looked a little distorted, which made Seru Junde nervous at first, and then sneered, but he didn't make any moves immediately, waiting for the detective's exploration to return.
"When I was discovered, I didn't hide in the woods, but I was afraid that we would set it on fire," Seru Junde could only think like this: "It's a kind of daring to come out and move in formation, not hiding inside and waiting to be burned to death."
But they thought they could retreat this way."
There are scouts returning one after another, and Cele Junde can get information from those scouts who have returned, and the other is to see where the scouts have not returned, and they can judge the specific situation anyway.
The sound of rolling horses' hooves was ringing, and Seru Junde didn't pay so much attention to it, because there were war horses running around him, and the sound of horses' hooves was very loud, so he could tell whether the sound of horses' hooves was coming from near or far However, he had eyes in addition to his ears, and he saw the brigade coming from the distance to control the horses:
