968 Destroying the Mountain (I)

A nation that loves horses, knows horses, understands horses, and makes the details terrifying, the power that can be exerted after becoming a cavalry is also extremely terrifying. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Su Chen saw Jieli's plan, obviously just preparing to launch a collective charge!

In the land of the plains, the charge of more than 100,000 elite cavalry is almost an inexplicable tactic.

Jieli Khan's move is really to respond to all changes with the same, and it is full of great wisdom and foolishness, and great ingenuity and clumsiness.

Charging into battle with the most elite golden wolf cavalry, behind him and on the side, were the Bodhisattva, the Gunatai brothers, and the Tuli cavalry, but they had to go up two miles to form wings.

This is the second echelon of strength, just wait to break the enemy formation, you can take advantage of the situation to cover and kill, expand the advantage.

Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Even, I almost laughed in my heart.

After all, the other party is a soldier of the grassland, and there is a lack of iron, not to mention putting iron armor on the horse, and even the arrows he uses are mostly made of bone!

Such a cavalry charge is naturally much less powerful than an ironclad chain horse.

"It seems that Jieli doesn't want to change over time, and he wants to fight me quickly......! Hundreds of thousands of cavalry are reduced to zero, and they play sneak attack and cavalry shooting with me, that is really fatal!"

Su Chen accurately grasped Jieli's thoughts.

Although he wanted to decide the outcome of the battle and draw his hand early to deal with Li Shimin's Tiance army, why didn't Jieli Khan have his own calculations?

The other party is a complete alien race, the overlord of the grassland, and naturally has to be feared and discriminated against in the Central Plains.

Waving the army to the south, although the momentum is amazing, people eat horses and chew day and night, and the loss is also terrifying, maybe there is a shortage of food now.

Of course, he also wanted a quick solution.

Also, the cavalry can only give full play to its greatest advantage by charging in a group, and playing sneak attack and ambush with the Han army, but it is a short attack and a long one!

Not to mention, Li Shimin was watching from the sidelines, and it was not only Su Chen who felt threatened, but also the Turks.

Although Jieli has a tacit understanding with the Li Valve forces, it is better to believe in the credibility of an opponent than to believe that his own woman will not be jealous.

Therefore, Jieli also chose to fight head-on.

Anyway, even without iron armor, a charge of 100,000 cavalry would be enough to wipe out any infantry phalanx of this era.

Jieli has this self-confidence.

――Of course, it's just my own opinion!

Woohoo! boom......

100,000 cavalry gathered momentum, and the sound of hooves was connected, as if dark clouds were pressing down on the city, slowly getting closer and closer. The cavalry of Tuli and others behind him also got on their horses, checked their bows and spears, and were ready to attack and follow behind.

The ground began to tremble regularly, stones bounced, and an oppressive atmosphere was overwhelming.

……

"Prepare for the car!"

Su Chen gave an order, and the Wu army immediately changed formations, the left and right armies protruded, the middle was concave, and there were more continuous carriages, forming a pocket array, as if to invite you into the urn.

Suddenly, all 3,000 cars drove out......

Just seeing these three thousand cars, Su Chen's heart swelled with infinite pride.

The so-called strategy and tactics are actually only based on local conditions.

Because he had long prevented the Li family from leading the Turks into the customs, Su Chen had already instructed the Lu Miaozi Ordnance Division to improve the crossbows and chariots, and spent a lot of materials to build the mobile Great Wall.

Dealing with the forces on the grassland, infantry against cavalry, in Su Chen's chip information, there are actually many successful examples in all dynasties.

And he naturally took what was most suitable for this era, and did not go beyond much.

You can't make muskets out of thin air to fight, not to mention whether it's too late, and the practice of climbing the tech tree is also likely to cause social deformities, and there is no doubt that it will be regarded as an outlier by this world and severely hit by the Force.

What is manifested on the outside is that everything is not going well, and the situation is on the verge of appearing.

For example, in modern society, if there are many magicians and immortals all of a sudden, or a large number of mutants, it will definitely change the pillars of society.

Not to mention the rejection of dimensional forces, it will definitely cause chaos in the world and become the enemy of all mankind and the whole world.

The truth is the same.

In fact, at this time, to deal with cavalry, it is necessary to have a spear array.

Su Chen also has training in this spear formation, but he doesn't really pin his hopes on it, and this practice is actually to counteract the enemy's advantage with discipline and life.

His pikemen are only used as a second echelon, and do not face the enemy's cavalry sharply.

I want to win the battle, but I don't want to throw the lives of my soldiers here meaninglessly.

Today's army of 300,000 is already all capable fighting forces in the Jiangnan territory, and his enemy is not only the Turkic Iron Cavalry, there is also one next to him.

Of course, you have to win, and you have to minimize your losses, try to preserve your strength, and face Li Shimin.

……

In fact, the power excavated by Su Chen is recorded in history as a bow and arrow launcher in the Han Dynasty, which can shoot a salvo of hundreds of arrows, as dense as locusts.

After Lu Miaozi's transformation, the car formation at this time is slightly different from the original, the car is equipped with thick wooden boards, and the front and rear of the car have hooks and rings......

Normally, the car can carry arrows, food and grass, and can also carry armor to save soldiers' physical strength.

It is also possible to carry the wounded when retreating, and once you encounter enemy cavalry, it only takes a few moments to connect the hooks and loops at the end of the chariot and line up in a circle of cover.

It is mostly equipped with standard-trained crossbow archers, and under continuous shooting, its arrows are like rain.

There are even auxiliaries pushing it below, although slowly, but it can still be implemented.

If the enemy approaches, the soldier can also stab the enemy with his spear from the prepared gap

This kind of car, after Su Chen put forward suggestions for improvement, he vaguely remembered that in the Ming Dynasty on the earth, in the battle with Mongolia, there was also this kind of chariot, and it was established.

The Mongol iron cavalry often had to pay several times or even more than ten times the casualties to consume the ammunition of the Che battalion and then annihilate it, because of the strong firepower of the Che battalion, since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Mongolia was forced to pay to the Ming Dynasty, and even the title of Genghis Khan must be canonized tomorrow.

This crossbow is called the Mountain Destroying Crossbow.

It is claimed that even mountain peaks can be bulldozed, and the power is so great that it is very unimaginable.

There are only three points, the first point is that it can only move slowly, not quickly pursued, and the second is that it is not easy to manufacture, the price is very high, and finally it must be a relatively flat place

And these three points are all satisfied at this time.

The Turks wanted a quick victory, and of course they would not choose a hilly and hilly place.

In addition, Jieli is very confident in his cavalry, and he will not care about what ambush the enemy sets.

After all, in some wars with the Sui Dynasty, the crossbow arrows used by the army of the Central Plains were not strong, but in the face of the charge of the steppe cavalry group, it basically did not play a big role.

There were only three arrows in battle, and when the cavalry approached, those crossbowmen were nothing more than lambs under the iron horse, completely vulnerable.

In Jieli's eyes, battlefield conquest is as simple as that, and it doesn't need to be thought about.

As for the white-knuckle fight after breaking through the arrow array, which army is the opponent of the steppe golden wolf horse?

The ground is flat, which is not only suitable for cavalry charge, but also suitable for chariot driving, which Su Chen has long expected, and he is not worried that the opponent will not enter the pit.

As for the cost of the chariot, Su Chen didn't care about it.

In the past two years, the world was in turmoil, the displaced people were like ants, and their homes were destroyed in other places, as long as these displaced people could have a bite to eat, it was nothing for them to do some work, but they would be grateful to Dade.

With free migrant laborers, they only needed to spend some raw materials and money, and in just one and a half years, 3,000 improved and huge ballistas were built.

One person aims at the car, and two people behind him load arrows.

This is a strong crossbow, which is usually used for siege purposes.

The spare trap Cassel, which can shoot through the city walls, is the main weapon.

The two wings of the chariot are obliquely out, two on the left and right, armed with repeating crossbows.

Each crossbow has thirty-six arrows, six arrows at a time, the arrow is eight inches long, and the distance of 80 meters can break through light armor.

Moreover, after shooting six rounds, you can also change the crossbow, as long as the crossbowmen do not die, seventy-two arrows per person will give any opponent a headache.

Even if you can't shoot people, the horses can't stand it.

When Su Chen saw this kind of chariot with a crossbow for the first time, he couldn't help but secretly scold Lu Miaozi for being too perverted, he was really a rare genius.

Not to mention the Hu cavalry, even if it is Su Chen himself, if he attacks this crossbow array head-on, I am afraid that he will have no choice but to retreat.

The most important thing is that this is the first time in this world that the Turks have never seen it at all, and it is not feasible to make a roundabout side attack, and the blood flow will only stop if they have to hit the head.
