Chapter 737: Knowing It Cannot Be Done, Yet Doing It

"Kill!"

"Roar!"

The head-on clash of the two sides' cavalry caused massive collisions and impacts at the very first moment.

Whether it was the Sipahi Cavalry or the Liangzhou Cavalry, the faces of both sides were undoubtedly ferocious.

This is a battle of the century!

This is a decisive battle in Central Asia!

This is a decisive battle of Scorched Earth, face-to-face, and Bitter Remonstrance!

Either you die, or I perish!

In the first charge, the Sipahi Cavalry still demonstrated the advantages of their Heavy Cavalry; the true hallmark of the Sipahi corps lies in their discipline and the power of their charge! Their ornate iron armor might not look like it has strong charging capability, but once they become embroiled in the enemy ranks, relying on their tough maces and chain-plate armor, every single Sipahi Cavalryman is a terrifying meat grinder!

Therefore, in this first encounter.

The Liangzhou Cavalry were at a disadvantage; their formation was quickly scattered, and the Sipahi's charge and trampling alone caused many Liangzhou Cavalrymen to fall from their horses.

The most important weapon of the Sipahi Cavalry is the mace.

This is a long-handled, hard-headed hammer that first appeared in the Middle East during the Middle Ages; it is a special long spear used by cavalry. Besides being used for assaults just like a regular Knight's lance, its head is also a hard-headed hammer, which can exert full power in both mounted combat and melee, and furthermore, this weapon can also exert strong destructive power against cavalry wearing armor.

Regarding the matter of how to pierce armor, it has once caused widespread discussion in the field of war and military affairs.

Many people say that crossbows and Long Bows can penetrate armor; first, this depends on the draw weight of the bow or crossbow and the specifications of the plate armor, and it must also be considered based on factors such as arrowhead design and shooting distance; talking about power without providing data is just being a hooligan. But if one compares the crossbow specifications and mainstream designs of medieval individual equipment against plate armor of mainstream thickness, arrows cannot penetrate armor beyond a reasonable range.

In addition, some people proposed the theory of heavy hammers and blunt weapons for armor-piercing, but later the effect still did not change.

In fact, in ancient times, the best armor-piercing weapon was a cone-shaped heavy object! The cone structure can provide pressure, and sufficient weight can provide greater kinetic energy when swung, combining the advantages of a spear and a hammer.

This is the terrifying aspect of the Sipahi.

Their weapon is the mace. If speaking only in theory, it is very difficult for any cavalry to contend with this kind of Heavy Cavalry.

Therefore, in the first encounter.

Those generals of the Six-Nation Allied Forces in the distance were all dumbfounded.

"This..."

"How is this to be fought?"

"General Zhai!"

In the first round, they lost so many, and it was equivalent to being directly crushed by this terrifying Sipahi Cavalry! In this battle, the Artillery Cavalry from the Turkish Imperial Guard also played a certain role; they began to load and fire, likewise bringing heavy casualties to the Liangzhou Cavalry.

Setback!

Zhai Shiqing, facing the anxiety of the others, remained calm.

"Reorganize the army, attack again!"

She said indifferently.

"What?"

A group of people had red eyes.

It is clearly impossible to win, why still fight? Can the first round not tell the problem?

In fact, they did not know that Zhai Shiqing wanted to figure out the methods of this Sipahi Cavalry.

Likewise.

She wanted to let the opponent lower their guard.

Is the mace very powerful?

No, no, no.

What did the Winged Hussars use to defeat the mace? Long spears! And this kind of long spear, Liangzhou has! Various improved long spears, and the long spears they use are all forged from Refined Steel! In terms of technology, they are far beyond this era by several grades!

Armor-piercing?

Zhai Shiqing smiled faintly.

She had never worried about being unable to pierce armor.

What she is considering now is, on this battlefield, how to find an opportunity for the Liangzhou Artillery to fire, the best opportunity, an opportunity that will not hurt her own people.

War, though it looks grand and sweeping.

Yet many of the details within are what truly determine success or failure.

"Kill!"

"Roar!"

"Roar, roar, roar, roar!"

The cavalry of both sides, after one round of charging, immediately left behind many corpses and wreckage on this plain.

The roaring sounds continued, and the shouts of killing did not stop.

The whole world seemed to have changed color because of it.

War drums, military flags, and bugles rose and fell, one after another, incessantly.

This is the terrifying aspect of the battlefield.

Death.

Bloodshed.

Fighting spirit.

Hatred.

The Sipahi Cavalry, having achieved victory in the first stage, were high in spirits.

On the side of the Liangzhou Army, they returned in a sorry state and reorganized the army, but the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.

The atmosphere of death hung over their heads.

But, there was no fear.

Very quickly.

The second round of the charge began once again.

An army blotting out the sky and sun, armor covering the mountains and plains, and gunfire that was at times orderly and at others chaotic.

This war had already begun to change the color of the heavens and earth.

……

The struggle between a tiger and wolves.

It was the same.

As the overlord of the mountains, the tiger, in terms of its sheer size and combat power, truly had very few species that could fight it one-on-one.

At the very beginning.

This existence known as "Weilong" was absolutely crushing and ravaging these wolves.

Even though the combined combat power of the wolf pack made it feel annoyed, causing it to roar repeatedly.

It still swatted them away one by one, slapping the charging Northeast wolves back with every strike.

One wolf, two wolves, three wolves.

Fresh blood sprayed through the air.

This hearty, unrestrained pummeling and the stimulation of the gore made the atmosphere at the scene completely boil over.

"Weilong, finish them!"

"Go for it!"

"Kill them, kill them all, don't leave a single one!"

Everyone waved their arms, spittle flying everywhere.

Xie Fang even placed a bet of ten thousand on this Weilong!

With no other Method, Liu Zheng could only place a bet of ten thousand taels of silver on the side of the wolf pack!

The tiger remained as majestic as ever.

The wolf pack continued to circle the tiger with sinister gazes.

The blood on the ground had already begun to freeze into clots due to the weather, starting to congeal, but the scent of blood still made this crowd feel highly intoxicated.

The tiger Weilong held the upper hand.

Xiang Chengfeng's face had already begun to turn deathly pale.

The only thing that felt comforting was that even though this Northeast tiger was so formidable, the wolf pack still had not given up on surrounding and annihilating it. Although several of their companions already had their intestines spilling out, they were still ready to fight at any moment.

Even though no one was optimistic about them, they still attacked again and again.

Roar, roar, roar!

Ten Northeast wolves once again launched an attack on this powerful tiger from all directions.

Liu Zheng was actually somewhat moved by what he saw.

In his eyes, this pack of wolves at this moment looked exactly like Don Quixote charging at the windmills.

No, it should be that in the eyes of this crowd, they looked exactly like that foolish Don Quixote.

Knowing clearly that it was meaningless, yet insisting on fighting regardless.

This time, the attack resulted in fresh blood splashing once more.

The scorching wolf blood even began to spray onto the faces of the onlookers.

The entire venue boiled over once again.

For this group of Don Quixote.
