Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 351 Cavalry
Dali's national fortune even fell in one fell swoop.

It is necessary to immediately identify the superiority, press the opponent's position, leave enough space for the cavalry, and then the cavalry makes a surprise attack to end the war.

Ma Hori cleared his mind, put on his heavy armor, and started to attack.

The main general personally went out, and his exclusive pro-barracks followed suit.

This is the most elite unit in the army.

There are a total of 500 people in Ma Hori's barracks, including [-] horse troops and [-] infantry troops.

Compared with ordinary Dali soldiers, the combat power is about one to two.

Ma Hori's purpose is very clear, which is to overwhelm the Khitan army with one blow, compress the space, and launch a cavalry charge.

Otherwise, the Khitan army is now behind the back and is close to Nanchong Lake, which is not conducive to the maneuvering of the cavalry.

Instead, it is easy to be forced to force the cavalry into the lake.

Without horses, the cavalry died much faster than the infantry.

Equipped weapons and defense capabilities are much worse.Only horse battles are suitable.

When a thousand infantry pressed on, the morale of the Dali army was immediately suppressed.

Ma Hori was a famous general in Dali, and everyone in the Dali army knew that the commander ordered to charge with the intention of winning.

Bang!
Battle against Maimang!Mars hits Earth!
Two of the most elite infantrymen in the world collided with each other.

The crowd is like a steel plate, floating on the surface of the sea. Every wave will leave dead bodies and blood all over the place.

Before Mabori's personal guards joined, the two sides were still in balance.
The addition of these thousand elite infantry immediately became a part of changing the situation of the battle.

The Khitan army fell in large numbers, and the waves they brought up became smaller and smaller.

The Dali Army is getting stronger and stronger.

Finally, the Khitan army was compressed into one piece.Before the formation of the two armies, a large area of ​​open land was vacated.

At this time, even a fool can see that this is the time for the cavalry to play a huge advantage.

In the distance, Wu Yu, who was still bandaged, suddenly raised the elephant trunk knife.

"All of them! Get on the horse! Kill the enemy!"

Ma Hori originally ordered the general to lead the cavalry.

But Wu Yu couldn't bear his temper, and ran out with injuries, determined to participate in the battle.

This also virtually inspired the Dali Army.

The two thousand-man horse teams all got on their horses and began to attack.

In an instant, the entire land was shaken, the birds and beasts fled in the forest, and the fish in the lake disappeared.

The earth-shattering sound of horseshoes shocked the entire battlefield.

"Kill!"

"Come on! The cavalry army is here, coming to steal our military exploits. Everyone, kill them quickly!"

The Dali army was very enthusiastic, and they said that the cavalry came to claim credit, but they were actually very happy in their hearts.

But the Khitan army was full of despair.

He had said for a long time that his reinforcements would come, but now that the cavalry were about to charge, the reinforcements still hadn't come.

Loud hooves!

Two thousand cavalry, led by two generals, charged from the two wings towards the center of the Liao army.

And Wu Yu also led Ma Hori's five hundred personal guards and charged from the middle.

"The whole army! Defense!"

Gao Chang also panicked.The hole cards are still out, and the enemy has already begun to charge cavalry.

If he can't resist this wave, he may be able to fight it out, but his subordinates are afraid that the entire army will be wiped out.

"The whole army defends!"

Rumble!
The ten giant shields were lifted up again.

But this time, the Khitan army didn't have much hope. Now they knew that the rope poured with kerosene was the way to break the giant shield, not to mention that the opponent had more than 2000 cavalry.

The ten shields, in front of more than 2000 cavalry, are like paper.

Could it be that it is really more dangerous than bad?
The giant shield was torn apart, but the Dali cavalry did not suffer much loss.

After all, the huge impact of the war horse far exceeds that of manpower.

Even if the giant shield held by four people is hit by two horses at the same time, it will flicker and become unstable, not to mention that the ten giant shields are facing [-] war horses.

"General! We can't take it anymore!"

"General Gao! What should we do?"

"The formation is about to be broken..."

All the soldiers of the Khitan Army looked at Gao Chang in unison.

Gao Chang was sweating profusely and hesitated.

As a capable general, he knew that it was too early to reveal that hole card, and there were too few Dali troops.

Exposing it now is tantamount to giving the other party a warning in advance, which will not achieve the purpose that was once imagined.

That's right, the current Khitan army has a mysterious weapon as a backup.

This mysterious weapon is a repeating crossbow.

The Liannu was first developed by Zhuge Kongming and Zhao Dezhao, and it has maintained miraculous results in many battles.

In fact, Zhao Dezhao used the memory of his previous life to inspire Zhuge Liang's original design motivation.

This new weapon quickly attracted the attention of spies sent by Xiao Tarase to various places, and they immediately reported the appearance of this completely unseen battlefield weapon.

Immediately he got the attention of Xiao Tarase.

Xiao Tarset himself is a super strategist and tactician, and he is very sensitive to such emerging things with huge effects.

He intuitively believed at the first moment that the emergence of this new type of weapon would definitely expand its role in the future.

Immediately, Xiao Tarase ordered someone to draw relevant blueprints, and began to study and imitate this kind of crossbow.

There are quite a few elites under Xiao Tarase, and he knew the general idea after reading the blueprints, and he thought this idea was feasible.

However, in the specific development work, there were big problems.

Because the so-called blueprints were only scribbled by others after they heard about them, and they were not the kind of finished blueprints that could be made according to the blueprints.

These people can only improve while doing it and make progress through continuous improvement.

The original Zhuge Liannu fired ten bolts at once.After Zhao Dezhao's improvements in steel smelting and mechanical springs, the number of launches became sixteen.

There could have been more, but the underlying technology of this age limited the durability and manufacture of the parts.

In the end, it was only possible to fire sixteen crossbow bolts.

However, although the Liannu of the Song Dynasty was developed, it could not provide a huge amount of steel production and the number of craftsmen.

Therefore, such a tyrannical weapon has not been mass-produced.

Fortunately, Zhao Dezhao has many methods, and with other novel ideas, he can still win the battle.

However, Xiao Tarase was different. Xiao Tarase's territory produced a large number of talents, had sufficient resources, had a good economic foundation, and was rich.

Coupled with Xiao Tatse's temper, as long as he wants to do it, he must do it.

So the Liannu of the Khitan army was finally manufactured.

It's just that for various reasons, the Liannu of the Khitan Army can only fire eight arrows at a time.

But this is already Xiao Tarase's cherished treasure.

For this Southern Expedition, Xiao Taset specially ordered the army to come with [-] continuous crossbows.The purpose is to kill the enemy in a large area on the frontal battlefield.

The [-] continuous crossbows were fired at once, [-] crossbow arrows at a time,

If you are lucky, it is still possible to shoot down tens of thousands of Dali troops in an instant.

And Gao Chang's vanguard army was allocated one thousand of them.

Gao Chang didn't use it for a long time, because Xiao Tarase had specially told him that it was an artifact left for him to save his life.
