Chapter 594: The power of armored cavalry
Long Wuyi was brought up by Ma Su, and its core team was the soldiers who were recruited from the Qiang tribe who had surrendered when Ma Su was in charge of Longyou.
After participating in ten years of war, these soldiers who followed Ma Di and climbed out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood became the most capable tribesmen of the Han Dynasty.
Of course, it was precisely because they were so capable that Ma Di was unwilling to take them with him. After all, with this group of humanoid Gundams out, Ma Su would most likely only have one chance to commit suicide on the battlefield.
For example, in the Battle of Heqiao, Ma Di and his cavalry from the Six Towns were able to charge into the Wei army's formation and kill Santonggu, but they still could not defeat the opponent.
If this had been replaced by Longwu Yicong, probably all the flags of the Wei army would have been snatched away before the first drum was beaten. Before the second tong drum started beating, Guanqiu Jian's head was already in Ma Su's hands.
Because Ma Di was not there to take them to the battle, Longwu Yicong was also arranged by Zhuge Liang to be responsible for training heavy cavalry combat patterns in Chang'an for a long time. Two thousand Long Wuyi trained for three years near Chang'an and became the first professional heavy cavalry of the Han Dynasty.
The significance it represents is no less important than the Xuanjia Army to Li Shimin!
But this time, Long Wu Yicong returned to the world again.
"The whole army obeys the order and forms a charge!" Ma Di, as the only person wearing light armor from Longwu Yicong, shouted with all his strength facing the group of tin cans behind him.
"The Wei people's central army commander's flag is on the left wing, and there are a large number of elite armored soldiers from the other side! But don't worry, it's still the same old rules, follow me and charge!"
"Come with me, rush up and kill the enemy's general on the spot!"
"kill!!"
Ma Su clamped the horse's belly and once again took the lead and rushed out.
Behind him, the heavily armed Longwu followers almost subconsciously followed him on horseback. During this period, no one tried to overtake Ma Su.
In particular, when the whole army followed Ma Su and did not run a mile away, Long Wuyi automatically changed into a wedge formation, just like when they followed Ma Su in the Kansai campaign!
They are veterans after all, even if they haven't seen each other for several years, the tacit understanding between them has not diminished at all.
However, when they first fought in Kansai, Longwu Yicong was still wearing all leather armor. And now, the armor worn by every Longwu Yi Cong cavalryman weighs at least fifty kilograms!
The armor and horse armor, which were fully armed to the teeth, greatly increased their inertia while giving Long Wu Yi Cong the strongest defense power. When they follow Ma Su and charge forward, they will be unstoppable!
At this time, the Wei army's commander's flag was on the left wing. Tian Yu deployed a large number of armored warriors here to deal with it, just to prevent Ma Di from charging into the formation. But when this group of Wei soldiers saw a group of Han troops armed to the teeth charging over with overwhelming force, they panicked.
Although the armored cavalry had appeared once before in the Kansai battlefield, the witnesses were basically dead. In particular, all the survivors who escaped from Guanxi followed Sima Yi to Liaodong, causing the Wei army to have no idea that the Han army had such a powerful weapon!
Two thousand mysterious cavalry! This heavy cavalry unit established by Ji Han with all his strength gave the Wei army a big surprise when it appeared!
"I am Ma Youchang, the mighty general of the Han Dynasty!" Ma Di took the lead and charged into the battle himself, shouting.
Ma Di was the first to rush in, like a loach in front of the forest of spears, and was extremely lucky to open one of the gaps. This gap was very small, after all, it was just Ma Su who tore it open by one person and one horse, but for Long Wuyi, this was enough.
The entire Xuanjia army connected almost seamlessly, like a kitchen knife cutting tofu, tearing open the Wei army's battle line without any hindrance. A large number of Wei soldiers who were completely unprepared didn't even have time to dodge before they were knocked to the ground by the highly charged armored cavalry!
Wherever Long Wuyi went, there were screams and wails, and the ground was even covered with bloody flesh from the trampling of horse hooves!
And where they rushed over, a gap like no man's land quickly formed. Countless Han soldiers stepped on the muddy road and pressed forward with fierce fighting spirit.
This is the most terrifying thing about the armored cavalry, which is completely full of both lethality and deterrence. Even the bravest warriors in Cao Wei will be filled with fear after seeing this scene!
At this time, in Cao Wei's army, Tian Yu also frowned and looked at Long Wu Yi Cong, who was running towards him. This branch, with a speed and destructive power that completely exceeded his expectations, pierced through the defense lines he had set up!
Have Duke Xuande's men already come up with such a terrifying weapon? Why is there no news from the school affairs office?
In fact, Tian Yu misunderstood the court. In fact, Sima Yi had already begun to imitate the armored cavalry, and had already formed a tribe in Nanpi.
It's just that Tian Yu has been sitting in Saibei all year round and never knew about it. As for the other Kanto songs, most of them know about them but don’t pay much attention to them.
"Famous masters and generals should not be imprisoned, and thousands of troops should avoid white robes! General Tian, do you want to think about how to escape?" At this time, Fei Yao stood up with a sneer, got on his horse and taunted.
"It doesn't matter, even if the left wing can't stop Ma Su, as long as it can delay him." However, Tian Yu was still confident about this, and quickly ordered the Chinese army to retreat, using the left wing as the basis to circle Ma Su.
From the beginning, Tian Yu had already made a plan for the left wing to be penetrated. In other words, Tian Yu's original plan was to use the left wing and the central army commander's flag as bait to lure Ma Su out.
Once Ma Su is dispatched, the central army of the Han army will follow him and move this way. As a result, the Han army's left wing seemed a little weak.
Tian Yu's goal was exactly this. He deployed an army of 60,000 including cavalry on his right wing!
These 60,000 Wei troops will attract Ma Su's attention on the left wing, and at the same time, they will pour all their strength forward to crush the Han army. At that time, he will press forward with a diagonal line and completely harvest the entire battle.
It has to be said that Tian Yu is also very scheming, and Ma Di did not expect this plan. The only troops placed on the left wing were 10,000 infantry under Jiang Wei's command. Without other reinforcements, Jiang Wei would probably not be able to hold it.
It's just that, although Ma Su didn't see through Tian Yu's plan, he also had a backup plan...
Just when Jiang Wei led the left wing and encountered a series of rapid attacks by the main force of the Wei army, his army suffered heavy losses and was about to be unable to hold on. On the southern skyline of the battlefield, smoke and dust suddenly rose up to cover the sky!
As the smoke and dust got closer and closer, the ground began to tremble!
