At this time, Yang Fan looked embarrassed.

Although no one complained, he himself had no face!

If he hadn't committed suicide, how could he have fallen into such a desperate situation?

Thinking that he is a time traveler, his advanced consciousness can crush everyone in this era.

The pistol in hand can also sweep through this era.

God's calculation is not as good as man's calculation.

Unconsciously, Yang Fan felt ashamed.

Zhai Changsun and others had been paying close attention to what was going on down the mountain, but they didn't pay attention to Yang Fan's expression.

Not to mention whether they dare to complain or not, so what if they complain?

The most important thing at this time is to find a way to break out. What's the point of complaining?

However, everyone thought for a long time and found no way to break through the crossbows.

Zhai Changsun sighed: "Originally, we have a natural advantage from being condescending, but now that the opponent has crossbows and heavy cavalry, they will be able to suppress us in all directions."

"Looking at their appearance, they should be adjusting. Once they finish adjusting, they will definitely charge."

"When the time comes and we are in close combat, and we have enough manpower, our hope of breaking through will be slim."

"Even if we break out now, with just such a small number of people, we will be shot into a hornet's nest by crossbows before we can even reach the opponent's formation."

"Well, it would be great if we also had heavy cavalry. When His Majesty defeated Dou Jiande at Hulao Pass, he only relied on three thousand black armored cavalry..."

Hearing this, Pei Xingjian withdrew his gaze and sighed slightly: "Your Majesty only selected the most elite soldiers under Li Tang to gather 3,000 black armored cavalry. How difficult is it to form heavy cavalry!"

"Not to mention the extremely high physical fitness requirements of heavy cavalry, it is also difficult to make various heavy cavalry armors."

"Even if the Tang Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses, your Majesty can only maintain the number of three thousand black armors. This shows how difficult it is to build heavy cavalry."

Although Di Renjie was still childish, he still said boldly and authentically: "What's the use of talking about this now? We are trapped here, so what if we die for the country?"

"However, these people really think highly of us, and they actually sent so many people to besiege us."

"Obviously, they are afraid that the Governor will gain a foothold in the south of the Yangtze River. As long as they find a way to protect the Duke and break through the encirclement, their conspiracy will be self-defeating."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

But no one could come up with a solution despite scratching their heads, so I couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

Although the enemy's crossbows and heavy cavalry are not many, their own numbers are also small. Compared with the two, our own side is at a huge disadvantage.

However, Xi Junmai said carelessly: "Haha, don't exaggerate the other party and destroy your own prestige. Our guards are no worse than His Majesty's black armored cavalry back then, so they may not have a chance."

No one refuted Xi Jun's words.

Indeed, in terms of combat power, these guards are no worse than the Xuanjia Army, but when used for charging, they are far inferior to the heavy cavalry.

Zhai Changsun turned to look at the guards standing like pine trees behind him and sighed slightly.

I really don’t know how many of these people will survive after this battle. It’s such a pity.

After hearing everyone's discussion, Yang Fan's mind became more active.

Of course he had heard of His Majesty Li Er's Three Thousand Black Armor Cavalry, and it was also famous in later generations.

After all, the Xuanjia Army is one of the ten most powerful heavy cavalry types in China.

To be honest, His Majesty Li Er was able to pacify most of the Central Plains back then, and was able to turn danger into danger every time he was encircled. The greatest contribution must be attributed to the three thousand black armor cavalry.

The Xuanjia Army is just the name of this unit. If it were classified as a unit, it should have another name - heavy cavalry!

Heavy cavalry, also known as armored cavalry, is a military unit in ancient times that maximized the protective capabilities of humans and horses.

With strong defensive capabilities, the armored cavalry equipment is not afraid of swords and can run rampant on the battlefield and overwhelm the enemy's defenses.

History has proven that well-trained and well-commanded heavy armored cavalry can ignore almost any troop type.

As long as the heavy cavalry armed to the teeth charges, even ordinary thermal weapons cannot break through the defense.

This type of heavy cavalry gradually withdrew from the stage of history until the emergence of large-scale thermal weapons in modern times.

Of course, the peak period of Huaxia heavy cavalry was in the Sui Dynasty.

The Sui Dynasty inherited a large amount of wealth from the Southern and Northern Dynasties and was the richest dynasty before Li and Tang Dynasties.

Therefore, the Sui Dynasty was able to form an amazing number of heavy cavalry.

It's a pity that the most elite heavy cavalry of the Sui Dynasty were killed in Goguryeo.

Not to mention that Goguryeo had high mountains, long roads, and crisscrossed rivers, but the dense mountain forests were a disaster for heavy cavalry.

Because heavy cavalry can only demonstrate its power when it charges.

Li Er learned from the failure of the Sui Dynasty and replaced the heavy cavalry with new types of infantry and light cavalry.

Only a very small number of Xuanjia heavy cavalry were retained, which was why the Tang army was able to win the war against the Turks and Goguryeo.

It can be said that the disadvantages of heavy cavalry are as prominent as their advantages, but as long as they are placed in a reasonable position, they are definitely the strongest arms in the cold weapon era.

The best example was when His Majesty Li Er used 3,000 cavalry to defeat Dou Jiande's 100,000 army.

Looking at the heavy cavalry at the foot of the mountain who were armed to the teeth, Yang Fan felt that his blood was boiling!

Since these Jiangnan nobles can form such a heavy cavalry.

He has an absolute advantage in steel-making technology, making armor a piece of cake.

If you can build a government office yourself, why not form a heavy cavalry of your own?
