991 A lesson
Gao Xin looked at the two teams of cavalry rushing out of the Qianshan Army. The cavalry were dressed in strange clothes.
They wore shiny helmets on their heads, but they were wearing riveted clothes.
This outfit seems a bit strange to Gao Xin.
He didn't understand very much. In fact, they could give these cavalry a heavy armor with the strength of Qianshan City!
But why did they wear such strange equipment to soldiers?
He knew that these cavalry were actually wearing armor, which had only begun to become popular among the Qianshan Army in the past year.
In fact, when choosing standard equipment for Qianshan Army, Yang Yinuan really wanted to equip the soldiers with plate armor.
After all, our Qianshan City is not short of money, and it’s not that we can’t afford equipment.
But the problem is that after several trainings, he and Grande discovered a problem.
That's the European plate armor, which looks really beautiful and can be worn on soldiers, which is really too bulky.
The infantry is fine, just find some strong men.
But cavalry is very troublesome, although the war horses on Falken are excellent, they are better than the war horses on Blue Star.
The body is much stronger, but it is also very difficult to charge back and forth with a man wearing iron armor.
Especially on the battlefield, when the battle situation has entered the Jiaozuo state and the cavalry cannot determine the outcome in one battle.
The heavy cavalry wearing full-body armor was simply a group of useless wastes.
Considering the cost-effectiveness ratio, Yang Yinuan finally gave the soldiers, especially the cavalry, more equipment was armored.
This kind of armor-tie combination is made up of the techniques of armor-tie and cotton armor from the history of Yan Kingdom.
In infantry, most of them are equipped with cheap cotton armor, which is more sturdy and more durable and convenient for maintenance.
The cavalry wears armor.
The leather armor is covered with iron sheets and then fixed with rivets.
In order to increase deception, some cavalry like to paint iron armor black, so in Gao Xin's opinion, these Qianshan soldiers were wearing a layer of strange armor.
This is also the equipment that Yang Yinuan only equipped the soldiers after careful comparison.
However, he did not choose European-style breastplate because it seems thick, but in fact it can cover quite limitedly.
He can only protect his chest and back, and the armor he chose has a larger protective area.
In addition to the key parts of the upper body, the arms, thighs and other key parts can also be protected.
Even when soldiers dismounted and fought, such armored soldiers could transform into heavy infantry soldiers.
It is precisely because of this consideration that Yang Yinuan equipped Qianshan Army with a large amount of armor.
At this moment, when he saw two rows of cavalry rushing towards Qianshan Army, Gao Xin also smiled coldly and waved the signal flag.
Immediately, two rows of cavalry rushed out of the Gao family army camp and met the cavalry of the Qianshan Army.
He had known the power of Qianshan Army for a long time, so naturally he could not have made any preparations.
Yang Yinuan on the opposite side kept holding a telescope and watching the battlefield. When he saw the cavalry on the opposite side left the line, he was also stunned.
Especially when I saw those war horses riding by cavalry, they were not traditional war horses he had seen.
It's a guy who is short but has an extra stout stature.
Seeing this thing, a thought popped up in his mind, isn’t this a hippo?
Then soon he remembered that he seemed to have seen this thing before.
This was not the first coalition forces he invited to help Gao Xin restore the country. There was a Qin family in Nuanzhou from the west.
Their army is said to have such a very unique cavalry called the Iron Armored Cavalry.
This is just a war horse riding in the middle, just like this kind of horse. It is said to be their specialty and there are very few takeouts.
It seems to be called a tin horse.
Moreover, this thing has a very rough temperament, and it is difficult for ordinary riders to control such horses.
Unexpectedly, Gao Xin actually got this kind of horse. It seems that this kid has been preparing for what he is today!
He may also know that it may be difficult for him to defeat himself by just being in a head-on manner.
So we prepared these tactical weapons...
It's true that there was such a group of cavalry riding iron horses rushing up, and he just entangled the two cavalry sent by Yang Yinuan.
The cavalry of Qianshan Army did not want to fight, they wanted to bypass the Gao family formation.
And those cavalry from the Gao family were on guard around the Gao family formation.
Once they rushed over, these high-priced cavalry would rush up on iron horses and drive them out.
Let them not get close to the Gao family army's formation.
At this time, the stone bullets flying from behind the earth slope where the Gao family army was located became more dense and fierce.
Their main target was the ejection artillery vehicles in front of the Qianshan Army. It seems that Gao Xin also understood.
If you want to defeat Qianshan Army, you must first destroy these long-range strike weapons in Qianshan Army.
Once the Qianshan Army loses these technical weapons, its combat effectiveness will at least be greatly reduced.
At this time, the advantages of the Qianshan Army's ejection cannon vehicle were reflected.
Don’t forget that this thing is called a catapult cannon cart, these catapult cannons are mounted on a carriage.
Seeing that the enemy's firepower was so dense, Yang Yinuan immediately gave orders, and the carriages began to move quickly.
What they have more advantage is that they can keep firing while moving.
This is where all ranged weapons cannot match them in this era.
The Gao family army's spear formation that was slowly advancing on the opposite side suffered a lot in front of such a mobile artillery.
After a while, a group of sulphur bombs were fired from the ejection cannon, burning many spearmen to death.
After a while, they ejected a large number of stone bombs.
Although these stone bullets are not the size of watermelons that are cast by a casting cart, they cannot be stopped even if they are only the size of a fist.
What's more, although the Gao family army also equipped the soldiers with iron armor, their iron armor was made of imitating the plate armor of Qianshan Army.
But they only have iron and no steel, so the protection of this iron armor can be imagined.
If the stone bullet with a fist is strong enough, it will be a pit if it hits it.
Soon, the spear formations that were moving forward slowly were smashed into gaps.
Gao Xin on the high slope in the distance saw this scene and his eyes almost popped out of his eyes.
He thought that the Gao family army, who had been trained to lie on firewood and taste gall, should be able to compete with the Qianshan army?
But reality taught him a lesson.
The battle started, and before the two sides met, his Gao family army had already suffered heavy casualties.
But looking at the other side Qianshan Army, they didn't even hurt a single hair.
Seeing this, Gao Xin immediately issued an order, the trencher adjusted the target, and began to bombard the opponent's square formation...
