Chapter 471 Two troops not suitable for urban warfare

boom!

Boom boom boom!

The earth is trembling.

One hundred thousand heavy cavalry launched together, and the shocking effect was beyond description in words. For a moment, the ground shook and the mountains shook, and it was like thunder roaring on the eve of a storm.

After discovering that the light cavalry led by Chen Shen was approaching, Xu Tianci didn't waste a moment and directly launched his own charging stance.

He knew very well that if the heavy cavalry could not run or reach a certain speed, it might not be able to beat the light cavalry.

Light and heavy, these are two extremes. Once the heavy cavalry starts running, it will be unstoppable, but if it cannot run, it will be killed by the more flexible light cavalry.

Xu Tianci knew this well, and he also knew that the troops in his hands were not suitable for defending the city. For them, if they wanted to defend, they would actually attack!

This was also the strategy Zheng Yuanyun had set for him at the beginning. At this moment, Xu Tianci had no pressure at all. Even if there were problems, he was just faithfully carrying out Lord Zheng's orders.

One hundred thousand heavy cavalry were like a torrent of steel, and their initial activation speed was not very fast. But after all, Xu Tianci saw the opportunity early. As soon as Chen Shen showed up, he ordered the entire army to activate, so it was still under Chen Shen's care.

Before the cavalry troops were about to collide with them, they allowed their own troops to reach the highest charging speed.

"kill!"

Wrapped in thick armor, Xu Tianci's eyes glowed with blood, which was the light of bloodthirsty excitement. In his eyes, the opponent was not a light cavalry unit, it was clearly a thin piece of paper that he could cut horizontally and vertically.

That’s all.

With the word "kill", Xu Tianci roared with confidence, as if the next second, what he saw in front of him was a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. This was also the origin of the bloody light in his eyes.

However, what Xu Tianci never expected was...

His word "kill" didn't seem to be an order to his own soldiers, but actually became a signal to the enemy!

Just when the two sides were about to come into contact, and just when the heavy cavalry had just raised their charging spears and were about to drink the blood of the enemy, the formation on Chen Shen's end suddenly changed!

point!

Light cavalry units are far more flexible than heavy cavalry. Even when running at high speed, they have the ability to change the direction of action at any time.

If viewed from above, the two cavalry troops were like two torrents. In an instant, Xu Tianci's heavy cavalry troops turned into hard rocks, while Chen Shen's light cavalry troops turned into slapping rocks.

of waves.

Although the reef is majestic and motionless, the waves are still intact and only slide away from both sides of the reef.

"What are you doing?"

Xu Tianci frowned. While running at high speed, he looked around and saw the faces of countless enemy cavalry scattered before his eyes. For a moment, he felt like he was looking around at a loss.

Is it possible that they want to take advantage of the difficulty of turning back and forcefully attack the gate of Iai City?

But, the city gate is closed!

Xu Tianci forcibly turned his head and glanced at the back door of Ihe City. Yes, it was indeed closed.

They can only choose to attack instead of defend, so their troops have been deployed outside the city gate from the beginning, and the city gate has always been closed.

Even if the light cavalry has extremely fast and flexible movement speed, they can rush to the city gate before the heavy cavalry can turn their horses.

But so what?

They are still cavalry after all. The cavalry can't carry a ram on its back, right?

Could it be that they wanted to use a horse's head to break down the city gate?

Or are they planning to disperse and then launch a surprise attack from behind?

Then you have to catch up.

Xu Tianci did not believe that these light cavalry were so fast that even after making a large circle, they could still catch up to their own side before they could turn around.

And whether they can defeat their own heavy armor is still unknown.

In other words, once the heavy cavalry pick up the charge speed, Xu Tianci will be invincible when facing these light cavalry. He is not afraid of the opponent's attack from any direction and he can take it no matter what.

.

Therefore, Xu Tianci, who was not at all panicked, did not ask the heavy cavalry to brake, but only after the light cavalry passed by his side, he calmly gave the order to adjust the angle of the charge.

Because the heavy cavalry is too heavy, although it is like a torrent when it runs, it rushes at whoever it is, but also because it is too heavy, it is very difficult to change direction during the rapid charge.

Difficult things.

If the direction is forcibly changed, the person may be fine, but the war horse, which is already under great pressure, will be unable to bear it.

You know, every heavy cavalry is not only equipped with heavy armor that is armed to the teeth, but also the war horse is fully armored. This alone weighs five to six hundred kilograms.

It is precisely because of this weight that once the heavy cavalry charges, its destructive power is almost the highest among all arms.

But it is precisely because of this weight, the force of the charge plus its own weight. If the direction is forcibly changed during the charge, it will put a great burden on the war horse, which will cause the war horse to be overwhelmed and break its legs.

Therefore, Xu Tianci clearly saw the opponent change direction, and he did not choose to order the soldiers to pursue him, but chose the more secure method of gradually changing direction.

On the one hand, the speed of the heavily armored cavalry is maintained, and on the other hand, the pressure on the war horses is not suddenly increased and accidents occur.

After slowly turning around, Xu Tianci felt happy.

He saw that those light cavalry were really trying to bypass them and attack the city gate, but it was a pity that the gates on all four sides of Iai City were extremely solid. Even if they were hit with a ram,

It also takes a few hits before it can be knocked open.

How could these light cavalry alone cause damage to the city gate?

Xu Tianci actually didn't understand. They were using cavalry to defend the city at the back gate, but why did Ouyang Lixing have to use cavalry to fight the cavalry?

The cavalry is not suitable for defending the city, but it is also not suitable for attacking the city. However, just at the back gate, two cavalrymen fought.

Xu Tianci, who turned his horse around, saw that the light cavalry were wandering around the city gate. It was obvious that they had underestimated the strength of the city gate. Therefore, after a moment of panic, the other commander was wise and immediately

Ordered the entire army to retreat.

There is nothing wrong with this order, but the problem is that the direction of the opponent's retreat is exactly the direction of the charge that our own side is facing after turning the horse's head.

So, this time, do you want to try another one?
