Chapter 677: During the Great War
The collision of iron and blood, the neighing of war horses, the flickering of spears, and the spouting of blood on the battlefield.
The Xianbei cavalry slammed into the front shield wall and the joint defense line of the gun forest. Although the first batch of Xianbei people were stabbed to death by the gun forest almost instantly, the subsequent Xianbei people were not discouraged and continued to attack.
Bearing the huge casualties, the Xianbei people quickly opened a hole, and the giant shield soldiers and heavy armored cavalry who were in charge of guarding there were almost instantly overwhelmed by the surging Xianbei cavalry.
But at this time, the heavy-armored mad knife came forward with a two-meter-long sword in formation, and the giant blade exuding a terrifying cold light slashed out fiercely. With a flash of cold light, Xianbei who rushed in first The man and the horse were chopped into two parts, blood spurted out wildly, but the heavy armored mad knife did not move, and continued to step forward to swing the knife, slash!
With the Heavy Armor Crazy Knife playing its role, the gap in the defense line was blocked. The combination of shield wall and gun forest was re-established, but loopholes appeared again in other places.
On the entire front, this kind of shield wall was broken through, and then the plot of heavy armor and frenzied sword fighting back was repeatedly staged. Even some Xianbei people with relatively strong combat power not only broke through the shield wall, but even the heavy armored mad knife responsible for the second-line sniper was penetrated, and they had to use giant axes to support them to slowly stabilize their position.
"My lord, there is a Xianbei army quietly going around!" Seeing that Shang Ji had been observing the battle situation calmly, Guo Biao beside him couldn't help reminding in a low voice.
"Haha, don't worry, General Han Sheng will entertain them well."
Guo Biao was stunned when he heard the words. No wonder the lord has been indifferent. It turns out that everything has been arranged.
When the frontal battlefield was in full swing, an elite Xianbei army of about 5,000 people quietly detoured behind the Pingzhou army, trying to enter the bow and crossbow troops through this weak area.
The 5,000 elite Xianbei army galloped like an electric charge, and quickly came to the rear of the Pingzhou army. They were just about to launch an attack, but they saw a full 10,000 Beidi strong crossbows turning around impressively, and their bright crossbow arrows were aimed at the sneak attacking enemy army.
"put!"
Following Gao Xiang's angry roar, five bursts of crossbow arrows spit out 50,000 steel crossbows in an instant, and the steel crossbows saw that the Xianbei army was completely submerged almost instantly. Of the five thousand troops, less than two were still alive after a round of crossbow rain. thousand.
"Quick, rush over, their crossbow arrows have already been shot!"
The Xianbei military general in charge of the sneak attack was also tough enough. He lost three-fifths of the army in the blink of an eye and did not frighten him to the ground. Instead, he continued to attack fiercely.
In fact, conventionally,
The choice of the Xianbei general was correct. The difference between crossbows and bows is quite big. Under normal circumstances, crossbows can only shoot directly. This is why the Northland strong crossbow did not participate in the front attack. The heavy infantry in front blocked the direct fire route.
However, after the giant ax soldiers, Huang Zhong also deployed a lot of northern crossbows, just in case, if the Xianbei army could really break through the three lines of defense, the steel crossbows of the northern lands would be the last line of defense.
In addition, compared with bows and arrows, crossbows have a faster rate of fire. Conventional crossbows can generally achieve two or three consecutive shots. The general state of the Northland strong crossbow can achieve five consecutive victories. If necessary, you can choose seven consecutive shots.
Of course, the flaws of crossbow bolts are also obvious. The range is relatively short, and the crossbow bolts need to be reloaded after shooting. Generally, this process takes a long time, and crossbowmen have almost no resistance at this stage.
But since it is a general situation, there are naturally special circumstances, and the Northern Crossbow is just one of the very few special circumstances.
The crossbows used by the Northland Strong Crossbow are all single-person light crossbows, which are two different concepts from the heavy-duty city-breaking crossbows that require a dozen or even dozens of people to operate together.
However, the same as the city breaking crossbow, the crossbow bolts used by the Northland strong crossbow have also been modified by a public loser who is proficient in machinery, and they refer to the modified products after the "foreign world" obtained by Shang Ji.
Referring to the principle of gun magazines, the public loser has added a detachable structure similar to magazines to the single light crossbow. After a box of crossbow arrows is shot, it only needs some simple and convenient operations to quickly replace the arrow box, which is more efficient.
In addition, the transformation of the public loser has also strengthened the power of the crossbow, increased the range, and enhanced the armor-piercing ability.
With the improved mechanism of these crossbows, the North Land Strong Crossbow abruptly crossed the threshold of the upper yellow rank, and was promoted to the special arms of the mysterious rank. This shows the contribution of the Gongshu family!
"put!"
Seeing that Xianbei was about to kill him, Gao Xiang sneered and swung his hand down fiercely!
"Puff puff puff!"
With many indebted emotions such as puzzlement, confusion, disbelief, panic and fear, the Xianbei general was fired by dozens of crossbows, his body was instantly filled with crossbow arrows, and he fell powerlessly.
Accompanied by the Xianbei generals were two thousand fine Xianbei cavalry, and a total of five thousand Xianbei troops of the lowest fifth rank were buried under the steel crossbows of the Northern Lands.
"The left battalion is on guard, the right battalion immediately fills the quiver, and beware of enemy attacks!"
After the order was issued, the soldiers of the left battalion changed their arrow boxes again, held the crossbow arrows flat, and stared at the surroundings with all their attention, guarding against the enemy's surprise attack. The soldiers from the Right Battalion sat down on the spot, took out steel crossbows, and pressed them into the empty arrow boxes.
Compared with the battles in the rear that were similar to massacres, the battles on the frontal battlefield were undoubtedly tragic. After several repeated tug-of-wars, the Xianbei people broke through the triple defense many times, and the heavy shield soldiers standing at the front suffered heavy losses. The first line of defense had to be replaced by the heavy armored mad knife.
Of course, compared with this, the casualties of the Xianbei people who used light cavalry (the Xianbei army is mainly light cavalry) to forcefully charge the heavy infantry line of defense were even more tragic. The armor of the state army has been completely dyed red. At this point, both sides are exhausted, almost relying on the last gasp for support.
On the flanks, the cavalry troops led by Tai Shici and Zhao Yun held back the enemy army with several times its strength. The two top generals led a small number of elite cavalry to charge left and right, messing up the Xianbei camp.
"put!"
"Puff puff puff puff!"
A series of dense stringing sounds was particularly harsh on the noisy battlefield. Shang Ji immediately followed his reputation, but saw that a battle line had already been broken by the Xianbei army. forced back.
"It's almost there, it's time for us to take action!" Shang Ji said in a low voice with his eyes fixed.
Guo Biao next to him immediately understood when he heard the words. He waved his hand and made the flag wave. As a strategic reserve, the elite cavalry unit of the Pingzhou Army who is also the decisive force on the battlefield is dispatched.
The 100,000 cavalry were divided into three groups, with about 60,000 in one group. Under the leadership of Shang Ji, they went straight to the central army of the Xianbei army.
In addition, Su Huan led the remaining flying phoenix fire cavalry into the air, and more than a thousand flying phoenix fire cavalry went straight to the Xianbei army, targeting the commander of the Xianbei army in this battle.
