Chapter 328 The armored cavalry appears!

What filed out was a group of Han cavalry, not many in number, only five hundred. The leader is naturally the most representative Shenwei general, Ma Su.

But what shocked Man Chong was not Ma Su's coquettish appearance. What really frightened Man Chong was the attire of the five hundred cavalry behind Ma Su.

These five hundred cavalry are not regular assault cavalry at all. Instead, they are all wearing heavy armor!

That's right, not multi-layered leather armor, but real heavy armor! Each cavalryman was wearing special black armor, and his whole body was wrapped tightly.

And not only the cavalry were wearing heavy armor, but the horses they were riding were also wearing horse armor!

Each of these five hundred cavalrymen rides one of a hundred strong horses. They are covered in horse armor, with only their eyes and four horse hooves exposed. The cavalry were all wearing heavy armor, holding the reins in one hand and holding a saber in the other with only their eyes exposed.

Such a group of Han cavalry, armed to the teeth, appeared at the foot of Kunyang City like divine soldiers descending from heaven. What shocked Man Chong the most was that even under such a heavy load, these cavalry remained stable and did not shake at all.

It’s as if each of them is growing up on a horse’s back!

These armored cavalry were almost armed to the teeth, like walking tin cans. Only one of them wore armor and rode an armor-less horse into the battle.

That's right, it was Ma Su who led the charge at the front of the military formation!

"How did they get armed like this? How did they do it!" Man Chong was almost speechless in shock. He had never seen such a cavalry before.

Prior to this, the cavalry had been considered to be positioned in a roundabout way to attack from the side. Because although he has strong mobility, his defense is very poor because he cannot equip heavy armor.

It is extremely difficult for most cavalry to train a high-speed infantry phalanx in frontal assault. As long as you can't break away from the first wave, you and your horses will all be shot alive or stabbed to death in front of the formation.

However, the sudden appearance of armored cavalry in the Han army almost overturned Man Chong's definition of cavalry.

At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind - how did they do it?

Before Man Chong could figure it out, Ma Di had already brandished his spear and rushed out with five hundred tin cans.

"Soldiers! Let these Wei people know how powerful our Longwu Yicong is!"

Ma Su had been preparing for two and a half years to have an armored cavalry! From the days when Longyou was testing the feasibility of armored cavalry to now, Ma Su has basically spent all his surplus income.

Even so, there are still more than a hundred of the 600 Longwu Yicong veterans without equipment. Ma Su only managed to gather 500 armored cavalry, but even so, this was enough.

In this era, heavy cavalry basically existed across eras. When there is basically no military formation to deal with heavy cavalry head-on, armored cavalry are invincible!

"kill!!"

Five hundred armored cavalry were facing forward, and the Wei army had almost no defense... No, to be precise, the Wei army was on defense, but it could not stop them at all.

In the siege formation, the Wei army had many crossbowmen and spearmen. If Ma Su came out with the sudden cavalry, the Wei soldiers would be enough to give Ma Su a big surprise.

But... who can tell us what these tin cans are?

In a hurry, the Wei army's crossbowmen and archers kept firing arrows in an attempt to kill the Han army's cavalry. However, their arrows were completely useless against Long Wuyi at this moment, and the Han army still charged unstoppably!

"Die!"

Each armored cavalry tore apart the Wei army's formation in just an instant. The huge weight carried potential energy, and all the Wei troops blocking the front were knocked away.

Even with a spear, it was not easy to use. With a frontal thrust, Wei Jun's spear even broke!

Of course, what shocked the Wei army the most was that the Han army's cavalry no longer used spears, but sabers! Under the huge inertial reaction force, the Han soldiers remained motionless and still sat firmly on their horses.

On the other hand, almost none of the Wei troops who were killed by the Han cavalry survived. Some of the more unlucky soldiers were even cut in half with a single sword!

Here is the combat power of armored cavalry, and here is the dominance of heavy cavalry on the battlefield!

But who would have thought that such a terrifying thing as an armored rider would only be released with small stirrups and horseshoes?

Facing such terrifying armored cavalry, the Wei army, which had been at war with Soochow in Huainan for many years, quickly became weak. This group of Wei soldiers, like their old opponents, threw away their siege equipment and dispersed.

"Soldiers, go up! Keep the military formation without chaos!" Man Chong was shocked. At this moment, the Wei army was directly dispersed. Even if the Han army did not take action, a lot of them would be trampled on each other.

At this time, the military formation must not be chaotic!

It was under such chaotic circumstances that Man Chong ignored the phenomenon that the speed of the Han army's cavalry began to decrease.

The armored cavalry is very powerful, but the huge weight of its heavy armor cannot support long-distance attacks. It was even difficult for the Han army's cavalry to attack at close range, as their speed had already slowed down not long after the impact.

This is also the reason why Ma Di had to wait until the Wei army approached before opening the city gate and attacking.

However, this is enough!

"kill!!"

When the armored cavalry broke through the Wei army's formation, countless Han army soldiers suddenly came out of the city gate. They filed out, quickly formed a square formation, and rushed through the gap made by Ma Su.

At this moment, the Wei army's formation had been overwhelmed by Long Wu Yi Cong, and the Wei army soldiers had become individual soldiers. At this time, they faced the uniform Han army and basically had no resistance.

Because the Wei army was mainly attacking from all four directions, the troops were equally divided. As a result, Cao Wei's originally considerable troops were divided into several parts, which were not enough to withstand the sudden attack of the Han army.

"Run!"

"These Shu people have ghosts and gods to help them! We are no match!"

"Our army is defeated! Run if you want to survive!"

The Wei army's formation was broken up and there was basically no ability to resist. Facing the murderous Han soldiers, most of the soldiers began to run away in a noisy manner.

The defeated army then led more Wei troops to flee, and soon the Wei army east of Kunyang triggered a great rout!

The Han army's armored cavalry opened Man Chong's eyes and also gave the Wei army a big surprise. The fighting lasted only an hour before the Wei troops trampled on each other, killing thousands.

However, in the face of the defeated Wei army, Ma Di rarely took advantage of the victory and pursued it.

After defeating Man Chong's soldiers and horses, the armored cavalry regrouped in an open space. Later, under the cover of the follow-up Han army, they quickly burned the siege equipment and then retreated with gold.

There was no way, the armored cavalry's stamina was depleted too quickly, and it could not sustain the pursuit of victory. Now the enemy army has been defeated, the siege equipment has been burned, and the vigor of the Wei army has been defeated.

Next, it was Man Chong's turn to have a headache.
