Chapter 354 Undeterred
Chapter 354 Don’t give up
The arrow flew towards Fu Hongzhi, hitting Fu Hongzhi's nose guard directly.
Although it did not hit his body, the strong wind brought by the arrow still made Fu Hongzhi's cheeks burn and hurt.
This is not over yet!
All the Yulin cavalry in front shot three arrows in succession at the same time. The three dense waves of arrows made the armored cavalry in the rear a little uneasy, so they had no choice but to fight head-on with the cold arrows.
“Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!”
After the arrow collided with the armor, it bounced away slightly, which made Fu Hongzhi look suddenly enlightened: "You want us to retreat with just a few feather arrows?"
Although the arrows are sharp, the armor of the cavalry is made of the hardest steel by top craftsmen!
In this duel between spear and shield, there was no doubt that the shield had the last laugh.
Fan Daoji in front just sneered, then turned around and rode his horse to escape forward.
"Come again?"
Fu Hongzhi felt a little aggrieved.
In his opinion, Fan Daoji's behavior was obviously a bit insulting to the cavalry!
Cavalry, Lord of War!
Its galloping figure, vigorous pace, and power to crush everything are what everyone agrees on about it.
The way the Yulin Cavalry looks like running and shooting with bows and arrows is really embarrassing to the cavalry!
"snort!"
Fu Hongzhi urged his horse to rush towards Fan Daoji. He raised his horse's pin in his hand and vowed to knock off all those who insulted the cavalry in front of him, so as not to humiliate the cavalry.
But soon, Fu Hongzhi discovered that the gap between the two sides was getting wider and wider.
Although the war horse under his crotch is still mighty and domineering, if he lifts its veil and takes a look, he will definitely see a panting and listless horse face.
The other armored cavalry are similar.
The endless running made their horses so tired that they were about to lose their fighting ability. If they continued to chase, they might not be able to finish without exhausting several horses.
The Yulin cavalry in front saw that the armored cavalry in the rear gradually slowed down, and finally they were able to shoot arrows in front unscrupulously.
Under the dense rain of arrows, a blind cat would always encounter a few dead mice. In an offensive and defensive battle with completely unequal numbers, Fu Hongzhi's armored cavalry soon suffered heavy losses.
"stop!"
It was Liu Yizhen who told Fan Daoji to stop firing arrows, otherwise this guy would have to shoot Fu Hongzhi into a hedgehog in order to vent his anger after being chased dozens of times before.
The soldiers who had been prepared long ago swarmed forward. After removing their armor for Fu Hongzhi and others, they quickly led the horses like Seven Times a Night down to feed them and help them survive.
Although Fu Hongzhi lost, he was quite unconvinced.
He came to Fan Daoji angrily: "Does the general dare to just run away like a bereaved dog with his tail between his legs?"
Fan Daoji was not to be outdone: "Who beat the general like a sick cat?"
"Lost dog!"
"Sick cat!"
"Lost dog!"
"Sick cat!"
"..."
The two of them just quarreled in front of Liu Yizhen and other high-ranking officials, without any scruples about the general's demeanor.
"Enough!"
Liu Yizhen couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted their argument.
"They are all generals of the country, how unbecoming it is to make such noise!"
Fan Daoji underestimated in a low voice: "He is the captain..."
"???"
Fu Hongzhi glared at Fan Daoji, and the beard around his mouth was blown up by the breath from his nostrils.
Fan Daoji was not even a centurion when he was a general, and now he is actually starting to laugh at himself?
"Fan Daoji!"
Liu Yizhen scolded the opponent a few times, and then asked Fu Hongzhi: "General Fu, what do you think of the Yulin Cavalry's previous tactics?"
When it comes to commanding cavalry, even Wang Zhenyi, Zhu Lingshi, and Tan Daoji are still far behind Fu Hongzhi.
With Fu Hongzhi's perspective on cavalry combat, he naturally saw the advantages of Yu Lin's cavalry "mounted shooting" tactics, but he was still not convinced.
Using cavalry to crush enemy formations has become a deeply ingrained concept among cavalry generals.
Relying on this, the cavalry generals can even slightly despise the infantry generals and feel that they seem to be "more advanced".
But the "cavalry shooting" tactics that suddenly appeared now were so disgusting and wretched that they instantly shattered the pride of the cavalry. Fu Hongzhi could only watch the cavalry "degenerate" in front of his eyes.
Go down?
Fu Hongzhi said seriously: "Your Majesty, although the Yulin Cavalry won the drill just now, it was only because our war horses were exhausted!"
"If it were on the battlefield, the armored cavalry would definitely not chase a group of light cavalry into a fight!"
Everyone is not a fool.
Using heavy cavalry to chase light cavalry... is that crazy?
"The main purpose of the cavalry is to break through the enemy's formation, split it up, and then cut it into pieces to break it up!"
Cavalry, dignified!
The armored cavalry is even more dignified and dignified!
Just have that kind of mighty and domineering attitude that you know how to fight me, and I know how to fight you, but you just can’t beat me!
What is this riding and shooting?
rogue?
Come and bite you and then run away immediately?
Whether from a sensory or tactical perspective, Fu Hongzhi was unwilling to accept the cavalry's fighting method.
"General Fu is right."
"On the real battlefield, the enemy's armored cavalry will not foolishly come to fight our light cavalry, but will rush towards our infantry formation."
Liu Song now relies most on infantry. Without obtaining high-quality horse breeding lands such as Longyou and Hetao, it is impossible to form tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of cavalry.
When Fu Hongzhi heard what Liu Yizhen said, he also looked surprised.
Is it possible that His Majesty intends to abandon "mounted archery" and focus on mounted cavalry?
This is undoubtedly good news for Fu Hongzhi!
But Liu Yizhen's next words broke his illusion.
"I have a way to suppress the enemy's armored cavalry."
"In this way, combined with the "cavalry and shooting" tactics, what does General Fu think our army's victory rate is?"
Fu Hongzhi: "???"
Suppressing armored cavalry?
He widened his eyes and wanted to ask for proof, but Liu Yizhen didn't want to say more, leaving Fu Hongzhi with a mysterious back.
If we can really suppress the enemy's armored cavalry.
The remaining ordinary cavalry are simply not good enough under the "mounted shooting" tactics.
The innate attack distance of bows and arrows allows "mounted archer" cavalry to fly kites in front without any worries. Without armor as hard as the cavalry, no matter how strong the "traditional" cavalry is, they can only be shot into hedgehogs.
It's just that Fu Hongzhi still has some doubts about "suppressing the armored cavalry" that Liu Yizhen said.
If the armored cavalry could really be easily dealt with, they wouldn't be the "King of Cavalry".
But seeing that the emperor was unwilling to say more and was obviously hiding it as a secret, Fu Hongzhi couldn't ask more questions.
but……
Fu Hongzhi still refused to give up. He did not believe that there was any way to crack the unsolvable armored cavalry.
Even if it is the emperor who says this.
