Because the other princes of the Han Dynasty had to deal with cavalry with infantry, they chose passive defense at the beginning, hoping to find opportunities to attack or even win in the defense.
Most of Li Shimin's troops that Zhang Han faced were infantry, and infantry fought against infantry. The reason why Zhang Han chose to defend like other princes was to buy time.
As long as Zhang Han can delay Li Xin to defeat the left wing of the Goguryeo army, then the Qin army will establish a huge advantage in this battle, and the outcome of this battle will completely fall to the Qin army.
"Draw out the gun!"
As the two armies gradually came into contact, Zhang Han issued the order again.
Following Zhang Han's order, numerous tiny gaps instantly opened up in the originally solid shield array, and spears pierced out from them.
"Swish, swish! swish, swish!..."
In the shield formation, an invincible spear suddenly shot out. The sudden change made Li Xiaogong slightly stunned, but when he reacted, he shouted angrily, "Form up the defensive formation, quickly!"
As the second among the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, Li Xiaogong was also one of the seventy-two generals of the Martial Temple. He led the strategy of Bashu to destroy Xiao Liang, defeated Gongyou, and captured Zhu Can. It can be said that he was responsible for the establishment of Li Tang.
An indelible contribution.
For such a famous general, his reaction is extremely fast, but no matter how fast he reacts, it still takes time for the soldiers under his command to gather their formation. In such a short span of time, hundreds of people are already fighting.
Died on the spot.
"Chai Shao, immediately lead the black armor cavalry to charge into the formation and directly kill the enemy's central army."
Just as Li Xiaogong was fighting Zhang Han, Li Xin also fought with Hou Junji on the left. With the huge military advantage, Hou Junji was naturally no match.
However, Li Shimin did not pay much attention to the situation on the left wing. Li Shimin originally divided his forces into the left and right wings in order to induce the enemy.
It's just that the enemy has divided the territory a bit thoroughly, and actually wants to concentrate his forces to swallow up his left-wing army first. But in this case, it is exactly what Li Shimin wants. The weaker the enemy's troops are on the front, the weaker his black armor cavalry will be.
It is most likely to work wonders and break into the middle of the enemy's army.
Black Armor Cavalry, this is definitely a sharp sword in Li Shimin's hand.
This force was composed entirely of heavy cavalry. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Li Shimin was led by fierce generals Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong and others. Whenever there was a war, he would send out black-armored cavalry. They could attack and defeat any enemy.
The most famous battle is that Li Shimin defeated Dou Jiande's 100,000 troops with 3,500 Xuanjia troops at Hulao Pass, and determined the world in one battle.
Xuanjia cavalry, these heavy cavalry all wear black tabards and black armor, so they are called Xuanjia. The black armor they wear is heavy iron armor that highlights protection and practical capabilities. It has a head protector, side-turned ear protectors, and two
There are two pieces of breastplate, each with a round guard, a shoulder cover, an arm guard, a belt around the waist, and a knee skirt and leg guards. It can be said that it is fully armed and leaves no blind spots.
This is a more terrifying murder weapon than Wanyan Zongbi's Iron Buddha. The reputation of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry is definitely famous throughout history and can be ranked high in the list.
In fact, Li Shimin started training the Black Armor Cavalry a long time ago, but it was not until recently that it was truly successfully formed.
When Li Shimin first came up with the idea of forming the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, he immediately took action. However, heavy armored cavalry, especially the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, had too stringent requirements for horses.
Given the situation in Goguryeo at that time, it was impossible to find horses that were suitable enough for Dun.
Therefore, at that time, Li Shimin had no choice but to start training his troops. Several soldiers even used one war horse to alternately train and even engage in actual combat. In this way, although the conditions were extremely difficult, as long as enough qualified war horses were raised,
You can quickly form an army.
Li Shimin's idea was indeed very successful. When Temujin and Li Shimin reached an alliance, Li Shimin finally raised enough qualified war horses under the condition of half buying and half giving, and the black armor cavalry quickly formed an army at this moment.
.
Even today, this black armored cavalry was directly used on the battlefield by Li Shimin.
"Boom boom boom..."
There were only three thousand black armor cavalry, but the momentum created by this charge was much more terrifying than that of thirty thousand cavalry.
"Quick, raise your shield and draw your gun!" Zhang Han's face turned extremely ugly after he noticed the charging black armored cavalry. In such a short period of time, he could not think of any effective way to fight against this heavy cavalry.
method.
The cavalry is the tank of the cold weapon era, so what about the heavy cavalry among the cavalry? The tank among the tanks?
"Ding nail nail nail..."
In the Qin army's shield formation, countless spears were thrust out of it, but except for leaving a mark and sparks on the body of the black armored cavalry, there was nothing left.
Of course, it is not ruled out that a lucky person may be lucky enough to stab the throat of a black armor cavalry, which is a place that cannot be defended by iron armor, and successfully kill the enemy, but such cases are extremely rare.
"Boom boom boom..."
The Qin army's spear attack had no effect, so the next step was the collision between the black armored cavalry and the Qin army's shield formation.
The shield array, which was originally extremely strong, was brutally smashed into gaps one by one by the black armor cavalry. Some miserable Qin soldiers were even knocked away more than ten meters away. As for what will happen to these miserable soldiers after they land on the ground?
?Then they can only ask for their own blessings!
Wherever the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry had charged, corpses lay everywhere. It was unknown how many Qin soldiers were trampled to death by the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry.
"Hold still, hold still."
"Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed!"
"Charge, charge me!" Qin Kai and Qin Wuyang, who were at the front, roared crazily.
Thanks to having a good surname, both Qin Kai and Qin Wuyang were implanted as descendants of the Ying Qin line. Although they are both collateral lines and have a somewhat distant relationship with Qin Shihuang, their overall status is still somewhat unfair.
Similarly, even some officials who are above them have to be polite to them most of the time.
Of course, it's just in terms of status. But when it comes to specific official positions or fame and wealth, even if their surname is Qin, Qin Zheng will at most give them some conveniences, but will never let them rise to the top in one step. They have to do whatever they want.
In exchange for serious military exploits.
This is also the reason why the two of them were implanted as Qin's children, but they are still fighting at the forefront.
It is not clear whether the actions of these two men restored the Qin army's momentum, but what is clear is that their actions were noticed by a certain general in the Goguryeo army.
