Chapter 392 Sky Shadow Breaks Star Luo (4)

"Heavy armored troops, get on top of me!" General Xingluo on the front line ordered loudly.

Suddenly, a team wearing heavy armor that was originally in the center of the army "slowly" took over to the front line. They were covered in layers of heavy armor, and even the mounts under their feet were also covered in heavy armor. The men and horses were Only one pair of eyes is exposed outside the heavy armor.

"They are the heavily armored troops of the Star Luo Empire." Lu Po said solemnly.

The role of cavalry units wearing heavy armor on the battlefield is different from that of light cavalry. Light cavalry can only kill enemies on the flanks of the battlefield. Once they enter the frontal battlefield of close combat, the advantages of light cavalry will be greatly weakened.

Therefore, the light cavalry generally will not join the fight on the frontal battlefield, unless the advantage is very great, so big that the dragon cavalry will lose in the face, then they will harvest the endgame head-on.

The heavy armored troops are different. The heavy armored troops are combat troops specially born for frontal battlefields. Their men and horses ignore the attacks of ordinary soldiers and their powerful impact, and can directly tear apart the infantry army in front!

"In that case, prepare to use the horse, the iron caltrops and the tripping rope!" Lu Po's eyes were full of calmness, "The general once said that when dealing with heavily armored troops, you must withstand his first wave of impact!"

After saying that, he directly held the Shadow Scythe and beheaded an enemy soldier.

"Yes!" the herald immediately issued the order.

The next moment, the Tianying Army at the rear of the battlefield pushed out the horse, but they did not push it directly to the center of the battlefield, but hid behind the army.

A horse-rejecting obstacle is a movable obstacle often used in war. It is made of wood into a herringbone. The spear head is inserted on the crossbar so that the spear tip faces outward. It is placed at a key point. It is mainly used to defend against cavalry attacks. Therefore, The name rejects the horse gun.

There is no such thing in this world. After all, no one cares about the battles of ordinary armies and will not study such weapons of war at all.

Caltrops, horse-rejecting horses, and horse-tripping ropes are the most beneficial weapons against cavalry. Only the horse-tripping ropes are originally available in Douluo Continent.

Originally, in this situation where both sides were fighting at close range, there was no chance for the heavy cavalry to charge. However, the army in front of the Star Luo Empire was almost wiped out.

First, the strength of the Lu family's soldiers is strong, and second, because the morale of the Star Luo Empire army is indeed low now, so its combat effectiveness is not as good as the Tianying Army, which has high morale.

After the army in front was slaughtered and the generals of the Star Luo Empire ordered a retreat to allow the heavy armored troops to take over, the space between the Tianying Army and the Star Luo Empire army began to become empty.

"Get ready!" The Star Luo Empire general saw that the time had come and immediately ordered.

The Star Luo Empire will soon launch the first wave of heavy armored troops' charge. At this time, most of the soldiers on the frontal battlefield basically belong to the Sky Shadow Army.

Lu Po and others saw two hundred meters ahead, hundreds of knights in heavy armor that had almost no luster in the sun, almost blending into the black horses beneath them.

They are as heavy and silent as mountains, but everyone knows that once they move, it will be like thunder.

"Charge!" the Star Luo Empire general shouted.

Randomly, these five thousand black heavy-armored knights, holding heavy knight spears, rushed directly towards the Sky Shadow Army!

A charge distance of two hundred meters is enough for the impact of the heavy armored troops to reach its peak!

"Retreat!" But at this moment, Lu Po shouted loudly and made a retreat gesture.

Immediately, the herald of the Tianying Army asked the commander to sound the golden retreat signal.

"Retreat? Where can we retreat?" The Star Luo Empire, which was witnessing all this from a distance, heard the Tianying Army's golden retreat signal that spread across the entire battlefield, and immediately said with a sneer.

The charge of the heavily armored troops cannot be avoided by retreating in time.

After all, how could two legs outrun four legs? Even if the mounts of the heavily armored troops were greatly slowed down because they were wearing heavy armor, it would not be something a mortal could outrun on two legs.

Spirit masters like Lu Po might be able to escape from afar, but that army of tens of thousands of ordinary people couldn't escape the charge of the heavily armored troops.

And once the charge of the heavy armored troops successfully breaks through the army formation, it will be a complete massacre behind!

The Tianying Army retreated directly back in an orderly manner. They did not panic because of the order to retreat. This was purely because they had developed the habit of ordering and prohibiting them during their daily training.

Although this habit does not necessarily make them have strong combat power, it is all nonsense. The time traveler can train a group of soldiers to practice walking, turning and so on to create a powerful army.

This is worse than nonsense.

But this modern method of military management can make the army less likely to have accidents when advancing or retreating. This is true.

The Sky Shadow Army quickly shrank to the rear.

Then the Star Luo Empire army saw the "Taishima Noble Phantasms" that Lu Po had just pushed out, such as the horse-rejecting horse and the tripping horse rope.

"Put out the caltrops!" Lu Po shouted again.

As a result, the Sky Shadow Army in front once again threw hundreds of "sea urchin"-like iron products. The cold light flashing on the iron caltrops on the ground was particularly conspicuous in the sun.

"Not good!" The Star Luo Empire general finally felt something was wrong.

"But... these mere things can't stop the heavily armored troops!" He calmed down and said coldly.

The next moment, the distance of two hundred meters was instantly wiped out under the force of the horse's feet.

The cavalry of the heavy armored troops saw the horses and tripping ropes in front of them, but one of the shortcomings of the heavy cavalry was that they could not stop charging easily!

They even squeezed the horse's belly with their legs and accelerated their charge. It was obvious that they were determined to break through this wave of obstacles!

Soon, their horses rushed directly through the iron caltrop formation, but there are horseshoes in this world, and the iron caltrops did not directly destroy the legs of these war horses.

However, the Star Luo Empire's cavalry felt that the war horses beneath them staggered a little. When they even stepped on the thorns, the war horses let out a mournful cry.

And the charge speed of the heavily armored troops was a little slower.

The next one is the horse-rejection formation. This "human wall" made of wood and iron spearheads collides head-on with the heavy cavalry.

But those iron spearheads collided with the heavy cavalry's heavy armor, without causing any damage.

The Star Luo Empire general's feeling was right. Even the heavy cavalry's charge could not be stopped by iron caltrops or horseback.

But what they didn't notice was that their speed slowed down again.

The same was true for the last stumbling rope, and the supporting pillars were directly destroyed by the charge of the heavy cavalry.

"There is no way to escape!" the knights of the Star Luo Empire sneered.

But the next moment, Lu Po coldly ordered, "The Saber Saber Team is ready!"

"Yes!" In front of the Star Luo Empire's heavy cavalry, a group of soldiers holding long swords appeared instantly.

There are a thousand in number, not even as many knights as the heavy cavalry troops.

In fact, there is nothing special about them. The most special thing is the sharp sword in their hands.

The long knife is more than three meters long. The blade seems to be very slender, but if you look closely, the back of the knife is quite thick.

In fact, outsiders don't know that when Lu Yuan formed the Tianying Army, he wanted to create a strong army that could cope with all types of arms.

To deal with any type of military force, this is easy to say, but extremely difficult to do.

But Lu Yuan thought of a way, which was to specialize weapons troops, because some of the ancient war games he played in his previous life contained a lot of knowledge about ancient weapons designed to deal with special units.

For example, maces, hook sickles, one-handed maces, etc. are designed to defeat heavy armored infantry.

Therefore, the ten branches of the Tianying Army actually have their own special weapons units, such as the Saber Saber unit that specializes in defeating heavy cavalry.

The sabers in their hands can be said to be the nemesis of cavalry. With one strike, both men and horses will be cut off!

The premise is that the first wave of charge speed of the heavy cavalry troops must be slowed down, otherwise the powerful impact will have no chance of allowing the Saber Saber troops to appear.

At this moment, the charge of the Star Luo Empire's heavy armored troops has not stopped yet.

They held long spears and rushed straight towards the Saber Saber troops at the front of the Sky Shadow Army!

The Saber Saber troops raised their swords directly, but they were aimed at the legs of the heavy cavalry!

Even before the heavy cavalry could get close to the saber-slaying team, the three-meter-long sword slashed directly!

"Tear-! Click-!"

The former is the sound of muscles being torn apart by a long knife, and the latter is the sound of bones breaking.

The knights at the front of the Star Luo Empire instantly fell to the ground, and the horses under them screamed loudly.

Because their horse legs have long been broken, they can only fall to the ground like this!

The Star Luo Empire knights who fell to the ground were dizzy after falling to the ground, and they had not yet reacted to the fall from their horses.

Then they were directly stabbed through the brain by the long sword of the swordsmen from the only unarmored eye!

The next moment, the heavy cavalry troops charged forward. When they met on a narrow road, the brave one won.

What's more, at this point, the heavy cavalry cannot retreat. Because of their armor, they have a strong impact, but their retreat speed is very slow.

Once you retreat, you will become a target.

At this time, the general who was under temporary command of the Star Luo Empire felt as if he was falling into the abyss. He shouted, "Quick! Attack with the whole army!"

The charge of the heavy cavalry was over, and he could no longer sit back and watch the five thousand men of the heavy cavalry fall into the enemy camp.

"The whole army is pressing forward!" Lu Po calmly ordered at this time.

At this time, the Tianying Army behind the Saber Saber troops came forward in full force.

They were closer to this heavy armored force than the Star Luo Empire army, and directly stepped forward to besiege the Star Luo Empire heavy armored force, which had no more impact.

They began to cooperate with the Saber Saber troops and kill heavy cavalry troops.

The horse swordsman was only responsible for cutting off the horse's legs at the moment, and then a team of three ordinary soldiers stepped forward and directly killed the heavily armored knight who fell to the ground!

What follows is a calm slaughter by the swordsmen. The swordsmen specifically aim at the legs of the horses that are not covered by heavy armor. Then, when the knights fall to the ground, they pierce their eyes with the sword.

With precise and simple killing, all five thousand knights of the Star Luo Empire's heavy armor troops were slaughtered in no time!

The generals from the Star Luo Empire looked at all this with tearful eyes and pale lips.

The elite heavy armored force, second only to the Liger Cavalry, was completely annihilated in the hands of the enemy. If Gao Zhong knew about this, he, the commander, would definitely be punished by military law!

"Change swords! Close combat with the entire army!" At this time, Lu Po said calmly.

Zhanma Dao is a weapon specially designed to restrain cavalry. In close combat, these long knives with too long blades are not suitable for fighting.

"The enemy's formation is in chaos! Follow me... kill!!!" He summoned the Shadow Scythe again and came to the army, shouting with murderous intent in his eyes!

The Star Luo Empire army was completely defeated at this moment!

…

"It seems that the winner has been decided over there." Cheng Qixiao looked into the distance and said with a chuckle.

"How could it be possible..." The liger general under his wave-breaking spear had a look of disbelief on his face.

Behind him were liger knights and war horses littered with corpses.

As the most elite light cavalry unit of the Tiandou Empire, the combat effectiveness of the Royal Knights is far beyond that of the Liger Cavalry of the Star Luo Empire.

The only one who could rival them was the Royal Knights of the Star Luo Empire.

But Gao Zhong, the leader of the Liger Cavalry, and others did not expect that Cheng Qixiao's royal knights would appear at Zhennanguan so quickly.

Normally, the Royal Knights would be stationed in Tiandou City. After receiving the news and rushing to the battlefield, even if they traveled day and night, it would take a week to reach Zhennang Pass.

It is precisely because of this that they did not count the Royal Knights as their opponents this time.

The Liger Cavalry was not as good as the Tiandou Royal Knights, but now they were directly killed by Cheng Qixiao and others. There was nothing surprising about this.

"The formation of your army has been messed up. That kid Lu Po really has something." Cheng Qixiao said in surprise, "That kid was just a stupid young man two years ago. Is it true that the general has a unique vision?"

"Commander Cheng, let's deal with them quickly and continue to assist the Sky Shadow Army in defeating the Star Luo Empire army." At this time, Barnaby reminded from the side.

"That's right, but we can't ruin the big thing." Cheng Qixiao shot directly through the throat of the liger commander and nodded.

Then, the royal knights directly killed the remaining liger knights and rushed to the battlefield again.

…

The Star Luo Empire's army had already been defeated at this time. They had been killed by the Tianying Army, the Zhennan Pass defenders and the Royal Knights. Counting the surprise attack army that broke into Hel City, the Star Luo Empire's history before and after this war The casualties have reached an astonishing number of 130,000.

Generally speaking, in a war, if one side's casualties exceed 10%, while the other side's casualties are negligible, it will cause panic in the army.

And if the casualties exceed 30%, even if the opponent's casualties are 10%, they will be defeated like a mountain!

"No! We can't admit defeat. As long as the general is still there, we have hope..." The senior generals of the Star Luo Empire, who were being held back by Ming Liexin and other elders of the Qibao Glazed Sect, said stubbornly at this time.

But just then...

"The enemy general is high and heavy! He has been beheaded! If you put down your weapons and surrender at this time, your lives will be spared!" A voice spread throughout the battlefield along with the soul power.

Those senior generals of the Star Luo Empire who were still imagining that Gao Zhong could return safely now looked at the place where the voice came from as if struck by lightning.

I saw that the bloody figure with eight spider spears behind him, like a god and a demon, appeared in the center of the battlefield at some point, and the assassin in his hand was raising an old head high.

Although the eyes of this head were closed, everyone recognized that it was the tall head.

The next moment, the Star Luo Empire soldiers closest to Lu Yuan trembled, then slowly put down their weapons, and knelt down on the spot, trembling.

As if in a chain reaction, the Star Luo Empire soldiers on the battlefield spread from the center to the surroundings, kneeling down like dominoes.

"What about you?" Ning Rongrong looked at the senior general who spoke earlier and said with a chuckle.

The senior general trembled and looked around at the surrendered Star Luo Empire army, feeling filled with grief and anger.

Then under everyone's shocked eyes, he slapped his heart and destroyed his own heart. He opened his eyes angrily and shouted to the sky, "I will never surrender!"

Then his breath stopped.

The Star Luo Empire army was defeated by the Tianying Army!
