The armor of the war horse plus the armor of the cavalry, as well as the weight of the cavalry, means that the horses of the heavy cavalry need to carry more than 300 kilograms of weight during battle, and then run with all their strength.
This means that the heavy cavalry charge should not take too long, usually about the time of a bowl of tea.
If you run too long or too fast, your horse may die from fatigue.
Therefore, the cavalrymen of the heavy cavalry usually do not ride war horses, but use carriages to carry heavy armor.
They don't wear armor until they go to the battlefield.
He only mounts his horse and drives his war horse to charge before the battle.
Hu Yanzhuo led the cavalry to break through the Song army's defense line, and pursued Tong Guan for a while, but the speed of the war horses slowly slowed down.
Hu Yanzhuo, who has been in command of the heavy cavalry for many years, knew that he could not continue the pursuit, otherwise the heavy cavalry would lose its impact and would be worse than ordinary soldiers.
Once someone knocks off the horse, the heavy armor will make it difficult for the cavalry to move, and they will only be hacked to death by the enemy.
Hu Yanzhuo gave an order, and the iron cavalry slowed down, turned the horse's head, and ran back.
When Hu Yanzhuo led the heavy cavalry to cross the Song Army's defense line and plunged the Song Army into chaos, Lin Chong immediately ordered the sound of the war drums.
Under the leadership of Lin Chong, Liangshan's army opened the city gate and rushed out.
When attacking the city, the Song army had already messed up their formation.
The Liangshan cavalry suddenly charged out, causing the Song army to fall into chaos.
When Tong Guan escaped, the Song army was scurrying around like headless flies and became a mess.
Now that the Liangshan Army came out of the city, the Song Army immediately collapsed and they tried their best to escape desperately.
Under the leadership of Lin Chong, the Liangshan army rushed back for three or four miles and then returned in a hurry.
It's not that Lin Chong doesn't want to continue to expand his achievements.
The infantry of the Liangshan Army defended the city and fought fiercely for days.
They were very tired.
They had no energy left to pursue the enemy for more than ten or twenty miles.
While the Song army has been defeated, the best strategy is to quickly burn the Song army's siege equipment.
Without the assistance of siege equipment, the Song army would not even be able to climb the city wall.
After the Song army rebuilt the siege equipment, the Liangshan army took advantage of this time to rest and fill the gaps in the city wall.
What's more important is that as long as he holds on for a few more days, Lin Chong believes that his eldest brother Shi Jin will definitely send troops to support him.
Returning to Juye, Liangshan's army moved the captured war horses, equipment, money and food back to Juye City, and destroyed those that could not be moved.
Especially those catapults and tower carts, a fire burned them into charcoal.
After destroying the Song army's siege equipment, Hu Yanzhuo also led the cavalry back.
Under the escort of Liangshan Army, they returned to the city together.
Tong Guan was frightened by Hu Yanzhuo's fierce and desperate posture, and ran away for more than ten miles.
He stopped running when he heard the Flying Tiger General Bi Sheng shouting loudly from behind.
After reining in his horse, Tong Guanda turned around and saw Bi Sheng, shouting loudly: "The enemy has not continued to pursue him yet."
Bi Sheng hurriedly shouted: "Don't worry, Lord Prime Minister, those thieves have already returned to guard."
Tong Guan heard this and shouted: "That's good, that's good."
After resting for a while, Tong Guan became more settled and saw that there were less than 6,000 people following him.
These Song soldiers had been attacking the city for days and were already very tired.
Now they followed them and ran for almost ten miles.
When they stopped, they lay on the ground in a mess, gasping for air.
When Tong Guan saw the appearance of his men, he shouted dissatisfied: "How dignified are you?
Get everyone up.
Also, put up the Prime Minister's flag and gather the troops."
Bi Sheng hurriedly shouted: "I have the order" In the commander's tent in the military camp, Tong Guan's face turned dark.
I thought that my dignified Prime Minister was being chased by a group of thieves and fled like a dog.
Tong Guan glared at Bi Sheng and Liu Yanqing and cursed: "There are fifty thousand troops and a large number of siege equipment for you to use, but you can't even take down a giant city.
You have been defeated again and again.

How can these Liangshan bandits have the face to meet the officials?"
After losing to the Liangshan bandits one after another, Tong Guan was very angry today.
He cursed for almost a stick of incense and broke several teacups before he stopped talking.
Taking the tea soup from the soldier, Tong Guan took a few sips, looked at his men and shouted: "How many soldiers do we have available now?"
Bi Sheng hurriedly stood up and shouted: "Sir, we have gathered nearly 30,000 people one after another." nearly thirty thousand Tong Guan frowned when he heard that the siege of the city had not gone smoothly in the past few days and nearly 20,000 people were lost.
What should I do?
Tong Guan inspected his men and shouted: "Tell me, this bandit is stubborn and refuses to defend.
How can our army take down Juye?"
Liu Yanqing hurriedly stood up and raised his hands and shouted: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, today the Liangshan bandits just caught us off guard, and they will fall short in the end.
Now the city wall has been knocked down by our army.
As long as we gather the defeated troops and attack again, we will definitely be able to conquer it."
Juye City.
At the end of tomorrow, General Xiang will take the lead and we will definitely capture Juye City."
Xin Xingzong shook his head and shouted: "Not to mention that we have lost a lot of troops and horses in the past few days.
This time we were caught off guard by Liangshan.
The siege equipment left outside the city may have been destroyed by the Liangshan bandits, and the captured people were only I'm afraid he'll be able to escape completely.
Without siege equipment and help from the people, what will General Liu do to attack the city?"
"This" Liu Yanqing hesitated for a moment and shouted: "The equipment can be remanufactured.
The people have plenty of it.
If we send people to arrest them, they will be able to make it again.
As long as we wait for four or five days, we will be able to make it."
Xin Xingzong said: "Now our army cannot hold more than 30,000 troops.
In addition, we cannot capture Juye City in a few days, and our morale is low.
On the other hand, the Liangshan bandits Kou Gang won a big victory, and their morale is high.
The most important thing is that now, the Liangshan bandits The bandits have captured Juye City, and we can send troops to reinforce Juye City at any time.
If these bandits suddenly come out when our army attacks Juye City, and then the bandits in Juye City also come out, our army will be in danger."
Xin Xingzong turned to Tong Guan and shouted: "Your Excellency, just as Su Taiwei said before.
Once our army is defeated, the Jingdong Road will no longer be able to restrain the bandits' troops.
By then, the Jingdong Road will no longer be owned by the Song Dynasty.
I would like to ask the Prime Minister to consider the overall situation, temporarily withdraw the troops and retreat to Leize, and at the same time ask the Holy One to increase troops and then attack these bandits."
Tong Guan fell into deep thought after hearing Xin Xingzong's dissuasion.
What Xin Xingzong said makes sense.
Juye City has not been taken for four or five days.
If we wait for the siege equipment to be manufactured, we will waste another three or four days.
We will only fear that the bandits will return to assist Juye City by then.
At what point will it be even more difficult to conquer Juye City?
However, he still has 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the number of bandits in the city will not exceed 5,000 at most.
Even if the bandits send troops to support Juye, they will probably send less than 10,000 at most.
When it comes to soldiers and horses alone, I still have the advantage.
And after finally knocking down the city wall, he gave up.
Not willing to give in While Tong Guan was hesitating, a messenger hurriedly walked into the commander's camp and shouted: "Sir, there is an urgent battle report."
When Tong Guan heard this, he quickly asked Bi Sheng to bring over the battle report.
Tong Guan took the battle report from Bi Sheng and quickly opened it.
After browsing it quickly, he sighed and shouted: "Retract the troops and return to Leize."
Hearing that Tong Guan was about to withdraw his troops, when Liu Yanqing was about to persuade him, Tong Guan handed the battle report to Liu Yanqing.

Liu Yanqing took it and took a look, and saw the battle report: Erlongshan Yang Zhi led ten thousand bandits towards Juye City, and they could arrive within one day.
