Five regiments of troops were soon gathered on the wide open space of the camp, and each soldier selected two of the best war horses. With the help of other soldiers, the thousand soldiers quickly completed the equipment of armored cavalry equipment.

Looking at the heavy cavalry who were completely armed to the teeth, all the cavalry exuded a shocking look. When Chen Kefu was equipped with armored cavalry equipment alone, he still couldn't bear the shock from the soul. And when all the elite cavalry of the Pojun camp were equipped with armored cavalry equipment, it was a black frenzy. Especially when the thousand elite cavalry of the Pojun camp all rode war horses equipped with vests, people were like tigers and horses were like dragons. Except for the calves of the war horses exposed to the shield, the entire heavy cavalry had no flaws exposed outside.

Especially when every knight is equipped with a horse spear, it makes people feel invincible and unyielding. In the Great Sui Dynasty, a horse spear is a very precious horse weapon.

There are many considerations in the horse lance. The lance rod is not like the wooden pole used in the stairs. Instead, it is made of the main trunk of the top tough wood, peeled into uniform thickness, and glued together. The tough wood is the most suitable for the bow, and then mulberry, oak, vine, and bamboo is the worst.

Soak the squid repeatedly in oil. The soaking is no longer deformed and no longer cracked. The first step is completed. This process takes nearly a year. After a year, take out the squid and dry it in the shade for several months. Then use high-quality glue paint to glue it into a thick handful of 80 meters long. The outer layer is wrapped with hemp rope. When the hemp rope is dry, apply raw lacquer and wrap it with kudzu. The squid cloth is dried and wrapped with raw lacquer. The squid cloth is dried and then wrapped with layer after layer until it is cut with a knife. The spear rod makes a metal sound, but it keeps not cracking. This is the case.

Then remove the head and tail, and cut it to about six feet. Install the head of the fine steel spear in the front, and install the red copper spear in the back. Continuous adjustment, the qualified standard is to hang a hemp rope two feet at the tail of the spear. The entire 8-meter-long horse spear can not fall or fall in the air like a scale rod. In this way, the general can hold the tip of the spear forward without any effort.

The spear made in this way is light, tough and strong. The general can hold the horse directly to charge with the horsepower, or wield it to fight in close combat. However, the entire spear took three years and the success rate was only 40%, so the cost was amazing. Therefore, since the Han Dynasty, horse spear has always been a symbol of generals from aristocratic families. Therefore, in ancient times, looking at the weapons of a general, one can usually tell the origin of a general. The generals in the court usually had horse spears, while the weapons of the generals in the uprising army in troubled times were all kinds of swords, swords and axes.

The length of the horse lance is more than 2 meters, and the longest can reach 4 meters, so it is also called the zhangba spear. Although Zhang Fei of the Three Kingdoms is a pig slaughter, his family is relatively rich, and he uses this thing. However, Liu Bei, who was a big seller of straw sandals, used a sword, and Zhao Yun, who was born in the Yellow Turban, used a gun.

The front end of the spear is similar to a short sword, which can be cut and cut. There is usually a complex under the blade. When the war horse charges at high speed, it will not penetrate the opponent. The blade is connected to the iron rod forging. The iron rod is wrapped with tough wood or bamboo, and glued with shellac, fish bladder glue and pigskin glue, and then brushed with large paint to prevent dehydration and cracking. The outside is wrapped with hemp rope, immersed in tung oil, apply raw paint after drying, and then wrapped in kudzu cloth, and apply raw paint after drying. Usually the weight is about fifteen to twenty kilograms, which cannot be used unless it is a fierce general.

The spear is a long weapon. Because of the composite structure of the rod, the war horse stabs the opponent when charging at high speed, and its strength will be dispersed and not broken like that of a Western European rifle. Moreover, the shaft has very strong elasticity and toughness. It belongs to the ancient composite material technology, which can easily be pulled out after blocking the plot.

The general usually holds the middle section of the spear, with two meters at each end, to protect the left and right sides and his own war horses. When stabbing the target in the distance, the sliding handle holds the end of the handheld can be used for high-speed charges or low-speed combat. Due to the development of history, the way generals ride horses to charge and showdowns is reduced, and the materials are difficult to find and manufacture, so the physical requirements for the generals holding the spear are also high, so the spear gradually withdraws from the stage of history.

From ancient times to the present, looking at the weapons of a general, we can sometimes see the origin of this general. For example, Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms period, from a great family, he used a horse spear, while Zhang Fei used a 8-meter-long spear, which is actually another name for the horse spear. And like Liu Bei's double-stranded swords and Zhao Yun's spear, they are actually inequality weapons. These big swords and spears are disdainful to those in the general family. Only horse spears are orthodox weapons. Although horse spears are valuable, they are worth the money.

Now every knight in the heavy cavalry is equipped with a horse spear, a thousand horse spears. Although the batch of horse spears made by Goguryeo are somewhat cut corners, they are not four-meter-long horse spears, but they are also over two meters long.

Now it's like when you were in a small town in the future, you suddenly saw a hundred Ferrari parked together, which made every soldier envious of the knights holding horse lances. The best war horses, the best armor, the best weapon, the strongest warrior, this is the heavy cavalry.

"Sir, although the heavy cavalry is powerful, now he is going to rush to 20 miles. Moreover, the Goguryeo people are 80,000 cavalry. The subordinates do not think that the thousand heavy cavalry without large troops can defeat the Goguryeo people. Sir, otherwise, we will attack the entire battalion, equipped with 3,000 heavy cavalry, and then equipped with 10,000 civilians to form a phalanx of infantry to fight the enemy in a decisive battle. Although Mr. Li Benlei knew that this battle could not be avoided, he still could not understand Chen Kefu's current plan to confront the enemy head-on. Even if he wanted to fight, he could still use light cavalry to guerrilla enemy.

Chen Kefu also wore a precious soft armor inside his gorgeous imperial armor, and specially added a black coat outside. Although he still looked majestic and his aura was not reduced by half, the weight of the two sets of armor was as heavy as more than 70 pounds.

Chen Kefu, who was sitting on Qingzhi, was constantly adapting to the armored cavalry outfit, smiled and said, "Elder General, you don't have to worry too much. Of course, I know that these thousand cavalry, even if they are equipped with armored cavalry, will still not be the opponent of 80,000 Goguryeo cavalry. I did not have a whim to break 80,000 Goguryeo cavalry with one thousand. The reason why I had to equip armored cavalry was because I planned to use these thousand people to rush straight to the enemy formation and then rush into the valley. Yu Wen and the 1,000 people to defend the valley against the 80,000 Goguryeo people was too dangerous, so I planned to rush into the valley and defend with them. Anyway, my reinforcements from the Great Sui Dynasty will arrive tomorrow, so I will not be in any danger. If I do not equip these armored cavalry outfits, I am worried that my thousand people will not be able to break through the Goguryeo formation at all."

As soon as Chen Kefu said this, from Mr. Li Benlei to Chen Qing and other generals of the Pojun camp, they were relieved. They were really worried that Chen Kefu would become conceited for a moment. If he really thought that these thousand heavy cavalry could defeat Goguryeo's 80,000 cavalry, it would be a disaster. If he just planned to break through the enemy and formation, rush into the valley to help Yu Wen and defend until tomorrow's reinforcements arrived, then this would be the best plan. It should not be difficult to have two thousand elite soldiers guarding a valley for one night.

Lu Shishen pulled Chen Kefu's armor and said, "Sir, the charge in this way is the matter of our generals and the school. This is not what you, the commander of the army, do. Sir, the camp still needs you to command, so stay and guard the camp."

"Needless to say, I'm not at ease to let me leave this important thing to you. When you work hard to read more books and practice some military strategy, I'll let you lead a soldier alone. Now you follow me honestly and call me again, you stay and guard the camp, and I'll let others follow me." Chen Kefu glared at him fiercely. He couldn't give such a critical battle to an old man like Li Benlei. As for the others, he was really a little worried. This broken military camp is his entire capital in this troubled times, and he must cherish every cent of his capital.

He turned his head and looked at the gray-haired old man and said, "We will not have any problems when we go here. The most dangerous thing is the camp. If the Goguryeo people divide their troops to attack the camp, you will be the most dangerous. If you cannot defend it at that time, you will lead people to break through to Liaodong or Xincheng, leaving the green mountains there, and not afraid of burning firewood. As long as the banner of breaking the military camp is still there, I believe that sooner or later we will be the first army to attack Pyongyang."

"Sir, you need to say more. Although there are only two thousand soldiers, I still have more than ten thousand civilians. I am in the camp and are waiting for the general to return." The old man said firmly.

The summer wind blew through the forest and into the camp, blew the flags of Chen Kefu's 1,000 heavy cavalry, and the flags flying in the wind clearly showed a big Chen family. There was a larger flag behind it, with two big Pojun embroidered on the black flag on it.

A wide passage had already been cleared out of the south gate of the camp, and even the blocked battalion door was opened again. Two thousand left-behind battalion soldiers and many civilians gathered in front of the camp gate, silently staring at the iron armored cavalry. All the soldiers and civilians who looked at this cavalry felt a sense of passion and pride. This was the iron armored cavalry of the Great Sui Dynasty, and this was the invincible Great Sui army.

Chen Kefu raised the horse spear that Yang Guang gave him high. In order to raid the secret at night, Chen Kefu put a black coat on his silver armor. As my horse spear was raised, the black cloak fluttered in the wind, and a red helmet tassel on the helmet fluttered gently.

"Glory belongs to the strong. Let the iron hooves of the heavy cavalry of the Great Sui Dynasty tread in Liaodong again, and let the barbarians of Goguryeo tremble. Glory belongs to us! We will win if we break the military camp!"

The shouts of a mountain sounded, "Glory belongs to us, Pojun Camp will win!" The shouts of tens of thousands of people were filled with a kind of confidence of a brave man and a momentum of unyielding. One thousand Pojun Camp iron armored cavalry leaned on their saddle and jumped onto the 80,000 Goguryeo army twenty miles away.

Outside the valley twenty miles away, Yizhi Wende looked at another general who was kneeling in front of him angrily. He secretly advanced northward after repelling Yuwen Shu and Yang Yichen's army from east to east in Yalu Water. He originally wanted to lurk at the city of Liaodong and wait for the time to ripe, and then attack the imperial camp of the Great Sui Emperor under the city with the defenders of Liaodong City.

However, when he just led 80,000 Goguryeo's last mobile cavalry not far from Liaodong City, he received a news that made him extremely angry. Xincheng was lost, and the entire army of 20,000 defenders were gone. What made him most angry was that Gao Qi, the prince who guarded Xincheng, actually surrendered to Sui. And today, all the other three cities near Xincheng also lost the hands of the Sui army. This was the first major defeat in decades in Goguryeo. Although the Goguryeo people had defeated the Sui army in the past, although there were losses when the Goguryeo people fought against the Sui army, they had never lost the city and lost their troops like this time, but the other party suffered only a hundred casualties.

Fortunately, the provoy then brought him good news. The Sui army that had captured the new city now only had escorted more than 10,000 Goguryeo prisoners and 60,000 to Liaodong with only 3,000 horses. After receiving such news, he immediately sent a vanguard force of 3,000 people to rush over and asked them to investigate the situation of the enemy first.

But what made him even more angry was that when he came with his army, he happened to see a Sui army that had wiped out his 3,000 vanguard battalion. Within a few days, he actually suffered great defeats, and this time the opponent directly ate his 3,000 troops, which he could not tolerate. He took the opportunity to temporarily annihilate the Sui army first, and then kill the broken military camp.

The plan was good, but in the blink of an eye, it was almost an hour before the corpses of Goguryeo soldiers were piled up outside the narrow valley, but their army of more than 70,000 was still blocked outside the valley.

The Mokeng in front of him is the fourth team of thousands of people who retreated without success. Yizhi Wende stared at the Mokeng with hatred. Now his elite troops are all staying in the Pyongyang area to guard against the Sui army's navy. Most of the troops brought this time are private troops of the nobles. Although they have participated in the battle against small ethnic groups such as Khitan and Mohe in Liaodong many times, they are still far inferior to his direct troops. It is better to fight a good fight, but if they encounter a tough guy, the momentum of these people will immediately drop by more than half and have no fighting spirit.
