Chapter 585

Actually, in this era of the late Han, there was no very strict division between light cavalry and heavy cavalry.

Looking at it by common sense, the White Horse Followers definitely count as light cavalry, because they wear light armor and are skilled in riding and shooting.

But the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry are also skilled in riding and shooting.

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry, on the basis of riding and shooting, also possessed the unique skill of "javelin throwing."

However.

The armor worn by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was much heavier than that of the White Horse Followers.

This destined their flexibility to be inferior to the White Horse Followers.

But when it comes to melee ability, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry would 100% beat the White Horse Followers.

But can the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry be counted as heavy cavalry?

Strictly speaking, they cannot be counted as such.

True heavy cavalry is similar to the Black Armor Iron Cavalry of Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty, and the Iron Pagoda of the Wanyan family in the Jin Dynasty.

Furthermore, there is the "Snow Dragon Cavalry" that only exists in legends. (Dog head funny)

As everyone knows, the Snow Dragon Cavalry doesn't need to eat.

In some novels, the protagonist summons one hundred thousand or even one million Snow Dragon Cavalry right at the start.

Tsk tsk, since you already have so many Snow Dragon Cavalry at the start, then why bother contending for hegemony?

Can't you just push everything horizontally all the way?

Anyway, the Snow Dragon Cavalry doesn't need to eat, and there's no need to consider the issue of grain and fodder. (Dog head funny)

……

Back to the main topic.

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry have extremely strong melee ability, and their riding and shooting ability is also quite good.

In fact, most of the frontier people in this era are skilled in riding and shooting.

Riding and shooting is less of a housekeeping skill and more of a mandatory course for them.

For example, the "Xiliang Army F4" under Old Dong, as well as Hua Xiong, Zhang Xiu, and others.

There is not a single person who doesn't know how to ride and shoot.

Old Dong himself was hailed as a "Liangzhou healthy son."

Historical records evaluate him as "skilled in archery and horsemanship, with arm strength exceeding others."

At this moment.

Facing the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry whose arrows were like rain.

That group of Xianbei herdsmen who finally escaped the Xianbei Royal Court could be described as miserable.

Behind them, countless Xianbei people were surging out from inside the Royal Court.

And in front of them, the arrows carried by the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry were like dumplings, "plop, plop," without stopping.

They could neither advance nor retreat.

A portion of the Xianbei herdsmen simply sat paralyzed on the ground, sighing toward the sky.

But soon, their voices were drowned out in the human tide.

That portion of people continuously surging out from inside the Royal Court, where could they still care about the situation seen ahead?

They only knew that if they didn't escape the Royal Court, in case they were affected by the fire, their little lives would be hard to preserve.

After shooting the arrows in his hands, Lu Bu smiled slightly and led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to temporarily move away from the Xianbei Royal Court.

This group of Xianbei mounted scouts who lost their Royal Court.

Were like birds startled by the mere twang of a bow.

If Lu Bu wanted to clean them up later, it would be as easy as turning over his hand.

And the top priority was that Lu Bu had to ensure that the fire wouldn't burn the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.

Otherwise, losing eight hundred to kill one thousand, this wouldn't be worth it.

Seeing the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry leave the vicinity of the Royal Court.

That portion of Xianbei people who escaped felt a long sigh of relief in their hearts.

But having lost their Royal Court, they all fell into confusion for a time.

Even those few ten-thousand-man commanders had their faces dyed pitch black by the smoke and dust brought up by the flames.

"This... how can I explain this to the Great Chanyu?"

A trusted aide of Budugen collapsed on the ground and cried.

The Xianbei Royal Court was already seen as unsavable.

A large pile of tribesmen had also died.

Today could be called the "dark day" for all Xianbei people.

But what this group of Xianbei people didn't know was.

The next few days would be darker than the day before.

Who is Lu Bu?

That is an old six taught by Gu Yi himself!

This time, Lu Bu even carried the strategy arranged by Gu Yi in advance.

If he didn't torment the Xianbei to death, Lu Bu naturally wouldn't let it go.
