Chapter 502 Mu Chong died
Mu Chong's expression changed again. If he suddenly saw the Jin army coming from the front, it was only shocking, because he was confident that he was the most elite imperial guard of the Great Wei Dynasty. As long as he was still strong and feared any opponents, he still had five thousand heavy cavalry. Although the heavy cavalry was heavy and inflexible, his impact was unparalleled. When the two armies suddenly came out in a fierce battle, it was enough to have the final effect!
However, the Jin army also broke out from behind, which made Mu Chong feel a little panic in his heart. He attacked from front to back, and most of the main forces were trapped in the river. Although the river was not wide or deep, it was enough to affect the speed of the horses. Judging from the situation in front of him, at most, less than half a stick of incense, his army would be trapped in a siege!
However, Mu Chong was a veteran who had experienced many battles. After a moment of being stunned, he shouted: "Soldiers, you are in a hurry to panic. You are the most elite warriors of the Great Wei Dynasty. Even if the Jin army sets up a trap, why should you be afraid of it? The King of Chu still burns his boats, and Han Xin also fights with his back. We will prove it to them that in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies are just a joke! Do you have confidence?"
"Yes!" A roar rose into the sky!
"Okay!" Mu Chong once again sent a secret edict and said sternly: "My hero of the Great Wei Dynasty, Your Majesty is watching you. Now obey the order, the imperial guards will attack forward and never retreat a step. They will wear heavy cavalry in half a stick of incense and wear them neatly. They will lead your servants to deal with the enemies behind. They must hold on until the imperial guards return to their aid!"
"Abide by the order!" The 35,000 people agreed and quickly separated the two groups in the front and back. A breath of death rose into the sky!
In fact, division of troops has always been a taboo in military strategists, but the incident happened suddenly, and Mu Chong had no better way. He believed that once he had a heavy cavalry and was well dressed, with the cooperation of ten thousand servants, even if he could not defeat the Jin army in the rear, he could still entangle him and gain time for the imperial guards to win!
The front formation was unwilling to move towards Wei Feng's main force, and the 15,000 troops in the back formation were dismounted, regardless of whether they were in the river or not. The servants quickly unpacked the package and dressed it for their masters.
Carrying heavy riders not only have high requirements for human qualities and physical strength. They also have extremely high requirements for horses. The horses ridden by Weifeng cavalry, including most of the Tuoba horses, are derived from Mongolian horse breeds. The weight is between 270 and 370 kilograms. Since the people and horses are all wearing heavy armor, the weight that the horses bear in the saddle will exceed 100 kilograms, and the weight that the horses can bear in this position cannot exceed 20% of their own weight, so they are qualified to list the horses with mount weight. Their weight cannot be less than 550 kilograms!
Obviously, only the pure-blooded and high-quality Malaysians from the Western Regions can be equipped with heavy riders, but the cost can almost be called a sky-high price!
The heavy cavalry is equipped with armored cavalry, armored cavalry, and human armor. In order to increase the thickened bright light armor, the cavalry's fighting weapons have also been changed from halberds to long-blade spears, and horse armor. It is composed of a face curtain, a chicken neck, a chest, a horse armor, and a six-part part. The parasitic is more distinctive, and it is a broom-like component placed upwards on the tail of the horse. It can be said that the horse wearing a cavalry has a body protected by heavy armor except for the horse's legs.
The Wei army was wearing nervously, and Wei Feng's eyes passed over the cavalry rushing towards him and threw them over, unable to help but be stunned.
Xu Daofu beside him couldn't help but exclaim: "This...is this, is it the legendary heavy rider in the equipment?"
"Hmph!" Wei Feng came back to his senses and snorted coldly: "Don't look at his scary appearance, but in fact he was not useful, he could only rush straight, not roundabout, and the distance was extremely limited, even the people and horses could not bear it too far, and they could not rush to the fastest speed. They could only jog and charge in mid-run. The tactics were simple, slow to move, and heavy cavalry could only be used in specific environments. The reason why cavalry was sharp was that they were the best at using troops. If the war was more important, they would be the lamb to be slaughtered.
According to my general, the reason why the Wei people accompanied them with heavy cavalry was mostly because they used the idea of using them as a killer weapon to attack our army as a fatal blow. However, when the battle started, they dragged him to death. Xian Enzhuo and Jiang Xuan would not fight against them. I really didn't expect that this ambush of the Wei people could have such a delicious meal!
Couple Fu doesn’t have to worry about him. Although our enemies in front of us are only 20,000, they are probably the imperial guards of the Wei State and cannot be despised!"
Xu Daofu suddenly felt a sense of pride. Wei Feng brought him a completely different feeling from following Sun En and even Lu Xun. This was a feeling of boiling blood. You can ignore fame and fortune, life and death, just to enjoy the burning blood in your heart!
Xu Daofu couldn't help but look at Wei Feng, but Wei Feng smiled coldly and said, "Cousin Fu, I'll leave it to you here."
Xu Daofu hurriedly bowed: "Please rest assured, Daofu will definitely stop the Wei people. Please take care of the general!"
Wei Feng nodded, then waved his hand violently, and the guards immediately blew the horns. Thirty thousand cavalry separated in an instant. Xu Daofu led 15,000 crossbow cavalry and gradually slowed down his horse and formed a three-sided formation during his running, each with five thousand cavalry, which was several times stronger than the crossbow cavalry led by Xian Enzhuo under the city of Tianjin.
Wei Feng led more than a thousand personal guards and mother Yasha to the back, and 7,500 troops on both sides were divided into two sides, which was exactly the same as the tactics of that year.
In fact, cavalry tactics are just a few types of frontal combat, except for raids, assaults and sieges, and they are basically a trick that can be eaten all over the world. Just as in the battle with Tuoba Yi, it has been proved that using combat cavalry and crossbow cavalry is an effective tactic. Since it is effective, why change the method?
......
Mu Chong narrowed his eyes, but he could not retreat for a moment, so he could only rush to break through the interception ahead, and then turn around and bite the two-wing cavalry of the Jin army. The formation he laid was the same as the scattered line set up when Tuoba Yi broke through. This was not only possible to use scattering to weaken the lethality of the Jin army's arrows, but more importantly, he felt a fearless aura from the Jin army!
This is also an important reason why he did not confine his troops into a fish scale formation. Even if the fish scale formation broke through the Jin army's block, the galloping cavalry could not turn around. With that courage, the Jin army could gather on both sides to calmly shoot their soldiers, so Mu Chong chose the scattered line!
"Twist~~" A bowstring in front of him vibrated, and bright silver arrows came overwhelmed by the earth. A strong sense of crisis arose from Mu Chong's heart. He could see that the opponent's soldiers were holding crossbows, but the arrows shot out were different from any other arrows in the past. The crossbows of the Jin army were fired at a fast speed, so he didn't care much about this. Everyone in the imperial guards would hiding in the hiding technique, and the horse had soft armor on the front, and the throat and other key points were inlaid with iron pieces. In his opinion, it was enough to resist two to three rounds of crossbow arrows. The crossbow arrows shot by the Jin army today brought him a strong sense of crisis!
As the bowstrings rang, the Wei people went from front to back, and everyone posed a beautiful kick to hide. Even Mu Chong, who was in his fifties, stepped off the horse with one leg, with his body shrinking, and one hand tightly held the reins of the horse, and half of his body squatted on the side of the horse. In this way, the chance of receiving arrows could be reduced to the lowest.
Wei Jun's hiding was almost neatly. Wei Feng's pupils shrank, but they only shrank. After the shrinkage, there was a loud rumbling sound from the Wei people's formation, and the neighing of the horse before his death!
Rows of war horses rushed to the ground, and the Wei imperial guards who made a perfect hiding posture were thrown out before they could react. Some of them were directly crushed to death by the horses that fell to the ground. Mu Chong was shocked in his heart. He accurately estimated the distance of the arrows, which was three hundred steps. At this distance, even the arrows shot from the crossbow could not penetrate the horse's armor, but reality ruthlessly shattered his fantasy!
The last time Mu Chong saw in this world was that his beloved horse was nailed into his neck by three short arrows with silver light, only about an inch left outside, two of which shot through the iron piece.
Then, a powerful force came and the body flew out uncontrollably. The moment it touched the ground, a horse's hooves stepped on his face!
In the fight between the two armies, no matter how noble his identity is, his life is as fragile as an ant. When Mu Chong died, no one noticed his death. Due to the chaos in the battlefield, the body was trampled on by war horses, and his identity was unrecognizable. Including Tuoba Gui's secret edict, what was written on it will become a mystery.
Tuoba Shiniang had no intention of thinking about the content of the secret edict. He felt that from his body to his soul, he could see clearly behind him that more than a thousand riders were gone in just a blink of an eye!
He subconsciously held the reins of the horse. The speed of the horse had just slowed down. A second round of silver light flashed in the Jin army formation. This time, due to the closer distance, the killing was even more amazing. According to Tuoba's estimate, the soldiers who fell off the horse were close to 1,500 cavalry!
Tuoba usurped the silver light represented. He had the urge to run away. Tuoba Gui's high hopes, his father's deep blood hatred, as the glory of the Tuoba clan, was gradually fading away, and his heart was replaced by fear inch by inch. However, the imperial guards were still rushing with inertia, which made him always make up the determination to escape. He ran away. Even if he could run away, he would be finished. Perhaps he would have a chance to rush over?
Each round was five thousand short arrows, and six rounds continuously launched a total of 30,000. A large number of horse corpses on the ground became obstacles, which forced the Wei army to slow down, which in turn increased casualties. No matter how superb their combat skills were, what's the use of not being able to touch the other party? Apart from throwing a large number of corpses, they could only be anxious. After six rounds, the number of people was reduced by nearly half!
