Chapter 202

The war horse under its crotch basically cannot see clearly because there is a piece of armor on both sides of its body, covering the horse's head; the other piece of armor is placed on the horse's buttocks and tied with the armor on both sides. I think there will be a hole behind this piece of armor so that the horse's tail can stick out from the hole; there is also a piece of armor on the horse's chest. On the horse's forehead, there is also a shining iron plate, and it is fixed on the top of the war horse with the armor on both sides.

Whether it is the iron armor on humans or the leather armor covered by war horses, they are all exquisite and exquisite. It is hard to imagine that the Mongols who are not as vast and profound as civilization in the Central Plains could have made such exquisite armor.

Each cavalry had a huge bent bow on his back, and there was also a shiny weapon in their hands. Most of them were sharp axes that were about a foot long. Within the eyes, only some cavalry with extra tall figures and more exquisite armor would have sharp scimitars that were most suitable for cavalry chopping.

These Mongolian cavalry had no sadness or joy on their faces, and their bodies were born on the horse's back. Even with such high speed, their upper bodies were as motionless as mountains. Their riding skills were so brilliant that Jia Sidao was amazed.

No cavalry fell behind, and no cavalry fell behind. The distance between all the cavalry that were charging towards each other was definitely not more than twenty centimeters. Under such amazing high-speed movement and so many cavalry charges, these real Mongolian cavalry can still maintain such a tight formation, which shows the degree of elite strength.

Compared with the equipment and riding skills of Mongolian cavalry, these Mongolian cavalry all show a trace of their faces, bodies, or spirit, that is, self-confidence, absolutely strong self-confidence. This self-confidence has not been defeated for decades; this self-confidence and discipline are the aura that has swept thousands of miles away.

The Mongolian cavalry had already had souls in these decades. This is what really moved Jia Sidao.

Although Jia Sidao had known for a long time that the real Mongolian cavalry did not attach as much importance to quantity as the Central Plains dynasty, but the quality was mottled. They valued quality, of course, this was also related to the harsh living environment of the Mongols and the sparse population.

As far as he knows, the largest army that Genghis Khan formed during his sweeping across Europe and Asia was the one he used to conquer Persia, with a population of only 240,000. Now the army used by Mongke to conquer Russia and the entire Eastern and Central Europe has never exceeded 150,000.

Of course, this number naturally does not include the minions of the conquered countries conscripted by the Mongol Empire.

After seeing the Mongolian cavalry, Jia Sidao understood why only with only 50,000 or 60,000 cavalry, hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the two major war zones of Huaixi and Huaidong of the Song Dynasty could be forced to defend the fortress to the fortress, which was in full swing, and did not dare to send one soldier to Xiangyang City, which was in full swing.

Fortunately, the Mongolian cavalry could only dominate the plains, but there was not much use in the siege battle. Of course, there may be reasons why various Mongolian commanders deliberately refused to participate in order to avoid the casualties of Mongolian elites.

Such a well-equipped tiger and wolf army that is as powerful as a tiger and is as powerful as a tiger, is probably no army on the plains of the Song Dynasty.
