Chapter 214: The Xiliang Iron Cavalry Trying to Prove Themselves
In the era when Huo Qubing was on the grassland expedition, heavy cavalry? What kind of shitty cavalry was that?
To be honest, Huo Qubing had ten thousand ways to hang up and beat Li Jue and his men, because the Western Liang Cavalry were too heavy.
For the two great empires of Han and Xiongnu, heavy cavalry was really the most useless cavalry.
Putting aside other things, just look at the speed of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. Huo Qubing doesn't need to be superstitious. He can just find a few infantry corps and kill the Xiliang Iron Cavalry on the plains.
Slow speed means losing initiative, which means handing over the initiative on the battlefield. What’s the point of being invulnerable?
Just click on two infiltration strikes or penetrating strikes, and it will not be easy to defeat a stupid legion like the Iron Cavalry.
Even if the opponent simply exposes a flaw, lures the enemy in, and prepares a chariot or something, the heavy cavalry can be killed directly. Anyway, where the heavy cavalry can charge, the chariot can also charge.
Chariots have perfect combat capabilities, so why did they withdraw from the battlefield and be replaced by cavalry? To put it bluntly, it is because of their mobility.
There's no point in developing your Xiliang Iron Cavalry into chariots. Their speed is as terrible as that of chariots. At most, it just weakens the shortcomings of chariots, but the problem is still not solved.
Of course, Huo Qubing never thought about how difficult it would be for real people to just pick two of them.
Anyway, if he could do it, he guessed that others could do it too.
For Huo Qubing, who was used to performing miracles, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was just a dish that he could cut however he wanted.
However, he did not realize that there were too few miracles in this world. Besides the miracles, there were also a large number of legions that were not as good as the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
As a young man who was on his way to becoming a military god, he could not understand the frustration of those veterans on the battlefield. He had been winning since the first battle and had no idea what losing or a draw meant.
Even when the two talents were fighting against the three talents, he only won slightly . He never thought about a draw or a failure.
In fact, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for soldiers who do not reach the level of military soul to defeat the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry who stick to one path until the end are really not weak, but it is a pity that the one who commented on them was Huo Qubing.
The sound of more than ten thousand cavalrymen galloping made Yupal decisively make the correct response. What mattered was Xu Pujie's exaggerated words? Could the cavalry really destroy his heavy infantry corps?
Yupal was not shaken at all by Xu Pujie's words. Their Esfandryar family represented the unbreakable walls of the Parthian Empire. The last line of defense of Parthia was the wall of the eastern capital Ctesiphon, but the last line of defense of Parthia was always the royal guards of their Esfandryar family.
They were the last line of defense protecting the Parthian Empire before it fell apart - the immortal guards. A mere cavalry could stop them, absolutely.
Moreover, they found a terrain that was conducive to defense, so holding on was not a problem. This was their resting place, and the longer it dragged on, the better it was for them.
Following Yupal's order, the Undead Guards and the Undead King Riders cooperated with two or three auxiliary legions to form a block-like defense line, forming a face-covering mesh defense line. Behind each auxiliary soldier was an Undead Guard, and behind each Undead Guard was a large shield, densely packed together to form a long defense line like a spider web.
The undead talent was fully developed. Yupal and Achaemeni simultaneously blossomed the Heart Abyss to the limit. The Heart Abyss, which had a similar effect to the Legion talent, completely turned the long line of defense into a natural barrier.
This is also the reason why Yupal, although shocked, firmly believes that they will not fail.
"The archers will be divided into groups of 100 to conduct cross-fire, the elite archers will be divided into groups of 10 to conduct sniping, and the cavalry corps will guard the defense line on both sides and try to suppress the opposite side if possible." Yupal gave orders calmly and steadily.
Following Yupal's command, Xu Pujie's eyes became brighter and brighter. He had never seen a miracle, but had only heard of it.
Yupal's exquisite defense arrangement made him feel very relieved. It was worthy of being the essence of the Parthian Empire. As a veteran, he would never attack such a defense in his lifetime. It was truly an iron wall.
The cavalry led by Huo Qubing was very fast and appeared in their sight not long after Yupal and his men had made their deployment. A large number of Parthian archers began to shoot frantically. The Parthian archers, who were known for their swiftness, shot more than 100,000 arrows before the cavalry rushed to the defense line.
Huo Qubing was a little surprised. Archers with such shooting speed were rare in the Han Dynasty. Although the power was average, the speed was indeed astonishing.
"So how are you going to respond?" Huo Qubing looked at Li Jue and his men who were charging in the front with interest.
"Marquis Guanjun, please let us prove for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry!"
Recalling Li Jue's request to him when they first set out, Huo Qubing was full of expectations for Li Jue and others' response.
He had thought about this before. It was impossible that all the people in the Han Empire were idiots. It was impossible that no one had discovered the shortcomings of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry . There must be some reasonable explanation for the development of Li Jue and his men.
Hundreds of years have passed, and perhaps the Han Empire has developed some secret techniques that allow heavy cavalry to dominate the battlefield.
For this reason, he simply gave up on increasing the speed of Li Jue and the others, wanting to see how Li Jue and the others fought.
Then……
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry instinctively pulled out the nested combination of the Fengshi Formation. Huo Qubing looked at the Xiliang Iron Cavalry who had set up the Fengshi Formation with satisfaction. They changed their formation while moving, and it was such a perfect Fengshi Formation. Even if he was in charge, he could only be a little better than this.
"Unleash your talent, charge, charge, charge!" Li Jue shouted wildly. This battle was not only against the Huns, but also an important battle to prove to the legendary Champion Marquis that the Western Liang Iron Cavalry was the best in the world. This heavy sense of responsibility made his condition soar to the peak.
A torrent of arrows came towards them, but Li Jue and his men did not dodge or evade. Just a rain of arrows, break it!
Using the newly learned mental defense, he covered himself with a twisted eggshell and charged towards the shield wall in front of him while facing the rain of arrows.
"Except for the sharpshooter, other archers should give up rapid shooting and prepare for the cloud energy blessing!"
After the scene where hundreds of thousands of arrows hit the opponent and then bounced off, Yupal directly gave up the Archer Legion. The opponent was a typical Iron Turtle Legion. The rain of arrows from the Auxiliary Legion was meaningless. It would be more meaningful to directly draw on the cloud energy to strengthen the front-line defense.
Yupal understood in just a moment that the enemy was definitely a defensive force like theirs, and was definitely an elite force that had been tempered through countless trials on the battlefield.
The moment the Xiliang Iron Cavalry's charge hit the front line of the Undead Guards, they felt as if they had almost hit a city wall, which shocked them a little. However, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, who had become several times stronger, didn't care at all. No matter what the hell you are, I will smash you to pieces today.
Even if you are a real city wall today, my Xiliang cavalry will kill you.
