Chapter 594: The Power of Armored Cavalry
Longwu Yicong was a unit brought up by Ma Su. Its core team was drawn from the Qiang tribe that surrendered when Ma Su was in charge of Longyou.
After participating in ten years of war, these soldiers who followed Ma Su through the mountains of corpses and seas of blood became the most capable troops of the Han Dynasty.
Of course, it was precisely because they were too capable that Ma Su was unwilling to bring them with him. After all, with this group of humanoid Gundams, there was a high probability that Ma Su would only have one chance to die on the battlefield.
For example, in the Battle of Heqiao, Ma Su led the Six Towns Cavalry to charge into the Wei army three times and still failed to defeat the opponent.
If it had been Longwu Yicong, all the flags of the Wei army would have been snatched away before the first drum was finished. Before the second drum was even started, Guanqiu Jian's head had already been delivered to Ma Su.
Because Ma Su was no longer leading them to charge, Longwu Yicong was also arranged by Zhuge Liang to be responsible for training the combat mode of heavy cavalry in Chang'an for a long time. Two thousand Longwu Yicong trained for three years near Chang'an and became the first professional heavy cavalry of the Han Dynasty.
The significance it represents is no less important than the Black Armor Army to Li Shimin!
And this time, Longwu Yicong once again returned to the arena.
"All troops listen to orders, line up and charge!" Ma Su, as the only person in Longwu Yicong wearing light armor, shouted vigorously at the group of iron cans behind him.
"The central army flag of the Wei people is on the left wing, and there are a large number of elite armored soldiers on the other side! But don't worry, it's still the old rules, follow me to charge!"
"Follow me, rush up and kill the enemy's main general on the spot!"
"Kill!!"
Ma Su squeezed his horse's belly and rushed out again.
The fully armed Longwu Yicong behind him almost subconsciously rode up at the same time, and no one tried to surpass Ma Su.
In particular, when the whole army followed Ma Su for less than a mile, the Longwu Yicong automatically changed its formation to a wedge formation, just like when they followed Ma Su to fight in Guanxi!
The old veterans and veterans, even if they haven't seen each other for several years, the tacit understanding between them has not diminished at all.
However, when they fought in Guanxi, the Longwu Yicong was still all leather armor. And now, every cavalry general of the Longwu Yicong, the armor on his body weighs at least fifty kilograms!
The fully armed armor and horse armor, while giving the Longwu Yicong the strongest defense, greatly increased their inertia. When they followed Ma Su to charge, they would be unstoppable!
At this time, the general flag of the Wei army was on the left wing, and Tian Yu arranged a large number of armored warriors here to respond, just to prevent Ma Su from charging. But when the Wei army saw a group of Han army armed to the teeth rushing over, they were still panicked.
Although the armored cavalry had appeared once before in the Guanxi battlefield, the witnesses were basically dead. In particular, all the survivors who escaped from Guanxi followed Sima Yi to Liaodong, so the Wei army had no idea that the Han army had such a powerful weapon!
Two thousand black armored cavalry! This heavy cavalry unit established by Ji Han with all its strength gave the Wei army a big surprise as soon as it appeared!
"I am Ma Youchang, the mighty general of the Han Dynasty!" Ma Su took the lead and charged into the battle personally, shouting at the first time.
Ma Su rushed in first, like a loach in front of the long spear-like barrier formation, and fortunately broke through one of the gaps. This gap is very small, after all, it was only torn open by Ma Su and his horse, but for Longwu Yicong, this is enough.
The entire Xuanjia Army was almost seamlessly connected, just like a kitchen knife cutting tofu, tearing open the Wei army's front line without any hindrance. A large number of Wei soldiers who were completely unprepared did not even have time to dodge, and were knocked to the ground by the highly charged armored cavalry!
Wherever Long Wuyi went, there were screams and wails, and the ground was even trampled by the horses' hooves, forming a bloody mess!
And where they rushed past, a gap like a no-man's land quickly formed. Countless Han soldiers stepped on this muddy meat road and pressed up with awe-inspiring fighting spirit.
This is the most terrifying part of the armored cavalry, which is completely full of lethality and deterrence. Even the bravest warriors of Cao Wei would be filled with fear after seeing this scene!
At this time, in the Cao Wei Central Army, Tian Yu also frowned and looked at Long Wuyi who was running towards him. This unit broke through the lines of defense he set up with a speed and destructive power that was completely beyond his expectations!
Have the subordinates of Lord Xuande already created such a terrifying weapon? Why is there no news from the school?
In fact, Tian Yu misunderstood the court. In fact, Sima Yi had already begun to imitate the armored cavalry, and had already formed a troop in Nanpi.
It's just that Tian Yu has been in the northern part of the frontier for many years and has never known about it. As for the other troop in Guandong, most of them knew about it but didn't pay attention to it.
"Famous teachers and generals should not be self-confident, thousands of troops avoid white robes! General Tian, do you want to think about how to escape?" At this time, Fei Yao stood up with a sneer, and mocked while turning on the horse.
"It doesn't matter, even if the left wing can't stop Ma Su, as long as we can delay him." However, Tian Yu was still confident about this, and quickly ordered the central army to retreat, and circled around Ma Su based on the left wing.
From the beginning, Tian Yu had already made a plan for the left wing to be penetrated. In other words, Tian Yu's initial plan was to lure Ma Su out with the left wing and the central army's flag as bait.
Once Ma Su moves out, the center of the Han army will follow him to move here. In this way, the left wing of the Han army will appear to be a little weak.
And Tian Yu's goal is exactly this. He has deployed 60,000 troops including cavalry on his right wing!
These 60,000 Wei troops will attract Ma Su's attention on the left wing, and pour all their strength to crush the Han army. At that time, they will press down in an oblique line and completely harvest the entire battle.
It must be said that Tian Yu is also very shrewd, and Ma Su did not expect this calculation. The only troops deployed on the left wing are the 10,000 infantry commanded by Jiang Wei. If there are no other reinforcements, Jiang Wei may not be able to hold on.
However, although Ma Su did not see through Tian Yu's calculations, he also had a backhand...
Just when Jiang Wei led the left wing to encounter the main force of the Wei army's successive attacks, the troops suffered heavy losses and were about to be unable to hold on. On the southern horizon of the battlefield, a cloud of dust suddenly rose up!
As the dust got closer, the ground began to tremble!
