The Xuanying Guards were well trained, and they set up their formation in a few breaths, with more than twenty swords pointing in all directions, like a hedgehog curled up in a ball!
"Fire the arrow!"
The commander of Bingzhou Qingqi was also proficient in battle formations. When he saw the enemy forming a circular formation, he ordered his sergeants to shoot arrows to test them first.
You must know that Xuanying Guards are Wenyuan's treasure. Except for protecting Guo Jia this time, they have always been by Wenyuan's side. Needless to say, the battle formation skills of these personal guards are not as good as those of some generals!
Everyone in the Xuanying Guards was wearing iron armor, and arrows were not allowed to penetrate fifty paces away. The arrows hit the layers of wrought iron armor, leaving only a dent, even if they were occasionally shot in the hands and feet.
, it was not enough to kill anyone. On the contrary, Xuanying Guard fired back with his bow, shooting down several Bingzhou Qingqi men in the blink of an eye!
At this time, Bingzhou Qingqi showed extremely good riding skills. Seeing that the long-range shot was at a disadvantage, they formed a sharp arrow formation in a few breaths. The more than ten knights in the front row formed a row of sharp cones with protruding tops, all of which were two feet long.
Dots of cold light lit up on the spears, and more than a dozen cavalrymen behind them waved their swords. They waited for their comrades in the front to open a hole, and then went up to kill them!
"Destroy them!" Zhou Cang roared, dragging his long knife backwards and splashing layers of gravel and dust. Like an angry bear, he ferociously charged towards the enemy Qingqi! There were a few whooshes, and there was a rapid wave above his head.
A hail of arrows whizzed past, and immediately several Bingzhou Qingqiu fell off their horses. Without even screaming, their bodies were trampled and twisted by the horse hooves that were as dense as drums!
"Go to hell!" Zhou Canghu roared. Before the cavalry could get close, he struck out with a powerful sword from his hand and swept across the entire army and swept forward!
Just two puffs were heard! Two clouds of blood rained in front of Zhou Cang! On the right side of Zhou Cang's body, a huge horse head flew into the sky! And on the left, a knight was chopped to the ground on the spot!
Then there was just a bang, and Zhou Cang was knocked backward by the galloping horse! However, he made a protective move in time. Although he flew three meters away, he just rolled on the spot and continued to scream wildly.
He jumped towards the enemy cavalry!
Seeing that the opponent was so tough, the Bingzhou Iron Knight was immediately relieved! But now riding on the galloping horse, they could only rush forward, but before they could get close, what was waiting for them was a bright forest of knives!
Nowadays, the standard equipment of the Xuanying Guards includes a pair of wrought iron fish scale armor weighing thirty kilograms per person, a cast iron dagger weighing four kilograms and six taels, a two-stone bow, and thirty wolf-tooth arrow clusters. In addition, there are
There is a ring-headed sword, a dagger, and a seven-foot saber in his hand as the main weapon.
The sword was first used in the Han Dynasty. It was used until the end of cold weapons and gradually disappeared. It is the most powerful weapon for infantry to fight against cavalry in close combat! In history, the famous general Yue Fei made great achievements. He was both wise and brave. He once defeated the fast and brave infantry with slow movements.
The merits of the Golden Soldiers and Iron Cavalry have always been difficult for military strategists to understand in a normal way, but it is actually the result of their improvement and good use of the ancient Ma Longquan Sword, a sharp weapon on the battlefield.
In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the Qi Army's sword was specially designed to deal with the Tatar cavalry. It chopped off the horse's legs and chopped off the human head. The Tatars did not dare to invade for several years.
The Zhanma Dao cast by Wenyuan has some traces of the Mo Dao from the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The blade is three feet long, the handle is four feet long, and it is edged on both sides. It weighs more than twenty kilograms! It is a truly destructive heavy weapon.
The Tang Modao became popular from around Emperor Gaozong's Tiaolu to the tenth year of Kaiyuan. At first, the Modao was used to fight against Turkic cavalry. Later, it became popular among the armies to deal with the "Four Barbarians" of the Tang Dynasty who were dominated by cavalry. The prosperous Tang Dynasty
The perfect Jiedushi system at that time made the army's equipment and training more formalized. Therefore, the Modao became one of the main battle weapons of the Tang infantry and became a regular equipment. The establishment of the Jieduzhi system allowed the towns to recruit troops and established a central government.
Large cavalry, cavalry played an important role, which in turn made the weapon of restraining cavalry, the Mo Dao, popular until the late Tang Dynasty.
Wen Yuan once saw a cultural relic of Tang Mo Dao in a museum in his previous life, and was immediately attracted by its cool shape and sharp murderous aura. Therefore, in this era, Wen Yuan has always hoped to give himself
troop equipment.
It's just that although Modao is extremely powerful, it is difficult to promote it to the entire army due to various reasons.
First of all, the production process of Modao is quite complex and requires a large amount of hundreds of refined steel. In the past, Wenyuan had little money and food, so spearmen who could easily be trained into an army naturally became the main force in Wenyuan's army. Now Wenyuan is already the governor of a county.
, the money and food income, plus the large sum of extra money sent by the Zhen family, can finally support Wenyuan's small-scale production of Mo Dao, and the three hundred Mo Dao just made will undoubtedly be allocated to the most elite Xuan Ying Guards.
Secondly, the Mo Dao is too heavy. Even though Wen Yuan gave his soldiers three meals a day, the Julu Army soldiers were obviously thicker than other soldiers. But even so, because no one in close combat had one or two
The standard equipment of the wrought iron armor weighing more than ten kilograms, if coupled with the Mo Dao weighing twenty-two kilograms, many people cannot afford it!
Now, more than a dozen Xuanying Guards came out neatly with shiny Mo Dao in their hands, like a bright forest of knives. Before they even started fighting, they had already exhausted their opponents' courage!
"Go forward indomitably!" "I am invincible!"
More than a dozen Xuanying guards shouted loudly! There was a vague power of a thousand troops. The more than ten Mo Dao were as sharp as horses. A cold light appeared, and the front row of cavalry rushed to the ground, including men and horses! They were chopped down to the ground!
Those struck by the chop would either have their hands and legs cut off, or their heads would be dislocated, with human heads and horse legs, heads and bodies flying everywhere, and surging blood and broken internal organs splattered all over the floor!
Mo Dao was so powerful in the first battle. The few Bingzhou Qingqi who rushed in and escaped death all had pale faces. Seeing their companions end up like this, they couldn't stop vomiting. How could they still have the fighting spirit?
Xuanyingwei also looked at the new weapon in his hands in disbelief for the first time, secretly horrified by its power.
"Don't let them run away!" Zhou Cang shouted and rushed straight into the cavalry formation. The large 58-pound Mo Dao split Huashan with one move and chopped off the head of a Bingzhou cavalryman!
The Bingzhou cavalry raised their spears to fight hard. There was a click, and the solid spear shaft made of pear wood broke like a straw. The Bingzhou cavalrymen and their horses were split into several pieces!
The remaining Bingzhou soldiers just woke up from a dream, and turned their horses and fled westward! The Xuanying guards who were outflanked on both sides were slaughtered like melons and vegetables. In the blink of an eye, only one of the thirty Bingzhou cavalry was left.
!
However, this cavalryman was tall and extremely agile. Just when his companion was being killed, he had already escaped to the west! Before the horse could speed up, Zhou Cang had already chased after him with a pair of scuds. He roared and struck with a very domineering sword.
The cavalryman actually raised his spear to block the attack. Could it be that he didn't know Zhou Cang's innate supernatural power?
