Just as the Lanzhou cavalry was barely catching up with the defeated enemy, a cavalry rushed out of the slanting thorn. Although the number was not large, the knights were wrapped in iron armor, and their faces were covered with iron masks, only their eyes were exposed. Even the cavalry's war horses under their crotch, except for *, nose, limbs and tails, were all covered with iron armor. Even the Xuan-armored Iron Cavalry founded by Emperor Taizong did not have such thick iron armor. Compared with the real armored cavalry in front of him, the Lanzhou cavalry led by Xin Gu looked like a light cavalry. "Iron Harrier!" The leading cavalry exclaimed.

Xiazhou Iron Harrier is an elite under the Tuoba clan of Xiazhou. All the knights are Xianbei and Dangxiang nobles. Because the cavalry are all nobles, they value family honors the most. They would rather die in battle than be ridiculed as cowardice. An Iron Harrier knight often has as many as ten servants. Not only are they all armored, but they are also good horses on the Western Regions. Under heavy burdens, the speed of galloping and assaulting is still as unstoppable as a moving iron tower.

Armored cavalry emerged in the Northern Dynasties, but due to its expensive equipment and poor mobility, it was gradually replaced by half-armored cavalry and even light cavalry without armor. However, the Tuoba family of Xiazhou, which originated from the Northern Korean royal family, preserved the armored cavalry that their ancestors scattered the world intact. Although this iron cavalry could not rush thousands of miles like the Mongolian cavalry in later generations, with its overwhelming impact, it was the overlord on the flat front battlefield.

"Yu Fu's lieutenant, there is a nobleman Dangxiang in charge of the matter, and the person who comes is not good." Kang Ketian stepped forward and said, "He is still very familiar with the Dangxiang Iron Harrier in Xiazhou. The Dangxiang people have not yet established a country, nor have they integrated all tribal heavy cavalry into a powerful cavalry as Li Yuanhao did in later generations. The so-called Iron Harrier actually refers to the aristocratic warriors in the Xiazhou Dangxiang, Xianbei tribe, to increase the chance of survival on the battlefield. The noble soldiers in the noble family often wear the whole body armor heirloom in the ancestral world. These people are often the sons of the heads, who have practiced martial arts since childhood, and they all have different people's lives when they go to battle.

From the future, they will have lands of varying sizes, cattle, sheep and slaves. After they grow up to warriors, they represent the loyalty and surrender of tribes and depend on different leaders. Because these armored cavalry are extremely powerful, over time, the reputation of Xiazhou Iron Harriers has spread like wildfire. How powerful is a Dangxiang nobleman, you can see at a glance just by looking at how many Iron Harriers are around him. There are hundreds of Iron Harriers, representing the surrender of dozens or even hundreds of tribes to the leader Dangxiang nobleman. It can be seen that he has a very high prestige and great power.

"It is difficult to deal with the enemy's Iron Harrier's attack with our cavalry." Yu Furengui also frowned. He was born in a muddy family and was quite clear about the weaknesses of the grassland cavalry. He was afraid of the strict and thick insurgent formation, and the other was afraid of the heavy cavalry dispersed. At present, his infantry was only 500 and could not form a sufficiently deep insurgent formation. The Hussels were suppressed by Iron Harrier and could not disperse the enemy's light cavalry.

The iron cavalry who were blocking the way to the Cavalry Camp had only a hundred cavalry, but they had a momentum like Mount Tai. When the retreating tribal cavalry saw strong aids coming, they turned around and rushed back under the leadership of the leader, squeezing the formation of the cavalry camp from both sides, forcing them to meet with the Tie Kavalry.

Seeing the dark iron cavalry rushing forward with a cavalry spear, the heavy sound of horse hooves represented an unstoppable momentum, Xin Gu cursed in his heart, why can the tribes on the grassland be equipped with expensive armored cavalry, a pair of people with nearly a hundred straits of armor, which is not even a pirate snatched by the prairie tribe. Seeing that it was impossible to avoid, the brave ones who met the two armies and the brave ones won, Xin Gu stepped forward and waved the heavy mace in his hand. When the two horses intertwine, a "dou" sound hit the head of an iron cavalry. The cavalry's legs were still firmly tied to the horse. Although the neck was broken and his head was soft and drooping down, the horse rushed past Xin Gu with a dead knight, and staggered behind him.

The way to fight horses is the life of cavalry. The two cavalry constantly urged to urge horses to wave their iron spears and collided with each other at the maximum speed. The Lanzhou cavalry and the iron salper were well trained, and the battles when the two armies were connected were also extremely cruel. When the two horses were intertwined, the iron spear was stabbed straight into the chest of a knight. Those who succeeded immediately abandoned the spear and drew their swords to protect themselves. Some were stabbed to death by the second wave of knights before they even pulled out their swords. The taboo for heavy riders to connect is to avoid the opponent's weapons. Once they were lucky,

Dodging the opponent's weapons will not only not survive, but also lose your life in vain. Even if the blade is facing each other and the iron spear is in the chest, it must not be avoided. Instead, it must try hard to stab the opponent at the same time. Swords are almost useless against heavy cavalry at this speed, especially for Iron Harrier, all over his body is covered with iron armor, and even guard plates are vertically placed on both sides of his neck. The standard horizontal sword of the Cavalry Camp cuts up only a bunch of sparks and a few scratches, while the Hussars who only wear breastplates will suffer a great loss.

The two armies intersected, but only a few breaths were spent. Xin Gu looked back and saw that there were only more than 60 cavalry left, and the number of iron kites gathered into a group did not seem to have decreased. After all, it was too rare to be as brave as Xin Gu. The perverted armor of the iron kites really caused the Lanzhou cavalry to suffer a great loss.

The heavy cavalry showdown just now shocked the tribal cavalry who had never seen such bloody chopping and siege. Before he could come back to his senses, Xin Gu concentrating on the siege cavalry in the Great Liao Dynasty, known as the Tielin Army. He had seen the Skin Crew Army exercises when he was in the Khitan. The army that drove the enemy on the flanks of the Tielin Army must have heavy infantry, not just light cavalry. Because the cavalry is good at attacking but not good at defending, only infantry can form a hard formation that is difficult to penetrate, squeeze the enemy to the front, and let the Tielin Army trample on the Tielin Army. Although the Cavalry Camp is wearing armor, it is far lighter than the Tielin Army and flexible in turn. Thinking of this, Xin Gu turned his horse's head and led the Cavalry to rush towards the tribal cavalry next to the Tielin Army.

This momentum was like a sharp blade splitting into the tribal cavalry formation next to it. The hussars who had been slashing with iron spears and slashing with horizontal swords. The armour was thin and they were not good at fighting like this. They immediately suffered a great loss. Seeing that the iron kite was turning around the big bend, Xin Gu shouted loudly, waved the mace, smashing a tribal cavalry that had not had time to escape, and once again led the cavalry camp to change the sprint direction. Then the iron kite, who followed closely, used a spear and a scimitar to slash the defeated army blocking the iron cavalry. The tribal cavalry who stood in front hurriedly dodged to both sides, for fear of losing.

Taking advantage of the weakness of the Iron Harrier's powerful momentum and inconvenient steering, Xin Gu led the Lanzhou cavalry to change directions, and rushed back and forth between the enemy cavalry and finally penetrated the enemy formation. The war horse under his crotch was sweating all over. After a long circle, Xin Gu looked at the knights behind him, and there were only less than forty left, which was a great loss. If the Iron Harrier did not appear, the Cavalry Camp could fully maintain speed and penetrate the enemy formation quickly, and the few casualties would cause these tribal cavalry to be distracted. However, the continuous change of direction also weakened the speed of the Cavalry Camp itself. However, this Iron Harrier completely disrupted Xin Gu's plan. Although he never caught up with the Cavalry Camp, he always maintained a deterrent, suppressed the momentum of the Cavalry Camp, and gave the surrounding tribal cavalry the courage to pounce on the flanks and guards of the Cavalry Camp like a pack of wolves, causing the Cavalry Camp to suffer considerable losses.

While Xin Gu was pondering, he suddenly saw the enemy cavalry group appearing in a variety of ways. The tribal cavalry was divided into dozens of teams, and the convoy of Lanzhou caravans fired arrows from afar. Because they were worried about the cargo on the car, they did not set rockets. Even so, the convoy's defense circle was already raining, and the soldiers and merchants had to hide under the car. The Lanzhou cavalry forced their horses to lie on the ground and set up big shields to block the arrows.

This situation is different from the moment before. Because the tribal cavalry did not intend to attack the chariot formation, the running formation was extremely sparse and there was no rules, so it was difficult for infantry archers to concentrate on aiming, and the few infantry who leaned out to reflect the cavalry were often taken care of by the opponent's archers as targets.

For a moment, the arrow feathers in the sky continued to fall on the car boards of the Lanzhou caravan with strong wind, on the shield and on the cargo package. Although the people in Lanzhou were covered, the losses were not great. When the "bangbang" arrows were constantly inserted into the wooden boards, the soldiers in Lanzhou could only hide under the large cart. They could not fight back, and everyone was under tremendous pressure.

"Yu Fu, I'm afraid there are so many dangers today. Why don't we hand over the goods and let these barbarians leave?" Kang Ketian looked at the horse team galloping back and forth outside the carriage array. This is also the usual practice of the caravans traveling west. If there are too few people, they will sacrifice their wealth to save their lives. Most tribes only have goods.

Yu Furengui looked at Xin Gu's calm eyes and Kang Ketian with a flushed face, with a heavy expression. He was also an old corps. At present, there were only 300 cavalrymen and 500 infantrymen. Kang Ketian's nearly a thousand chariots under his command could not be used, but he was surrounded by four or five thousand cavalrymen. It would be fine if they were all mobs, but they didn't expect that there were Xiazhou Iron Harriers as support in the enemy camp. Yu Furengui thought to himself that even if the 800 Yang family cavalry were here, they might not be able to save it. However, the commander had high hopes and handed over the goods. He was afraid that he would not have a position in the Lanzhou army that had finally achieved a thousand feet. He was afraid that the name of a coward would never be washed away. Looking at the enemy cavalry that was constantly galloping and shooting arrows outside the chariot formation, Yu Furengui's face was ferocious. He sighed and said in a deep voice: "Captain Xin, I am willing to fight the enemy cavalry to death!"

Xin Gu closed his eyes slightly, and Chen De's words of advice sounded in his ears before leaving: "Person Xin, these 800 children are all the seeds of my Lanzhou army. If the goods are lost, it doesn't matter that the money can be earned again. If the brothers lose them, they will never stand up again. This is the biggest loss in my Lanzhou. If the thieves are powerful and outnumbered, they would rather give up the goods and protect their brothers from coming back safely." Thinking of this, Xin Gu couldn't help but tremble in his heart and opened his eyes suddenly.
