969 Destroying the Mountain (Part II)
The mountain wind blew, and the clothes were blowing, with the chill of early winter. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Su Chen gave an order, the chariot moved slowly, and the two armies kept approaching
Suddenly, the trumpets sounded incessantly, and the Turkic soldiers of 100,000 horsemen had already increased their speed, and everyone urged their horses to pounce on them like a torrent
One hundred thousand war horses galloped together, the ground bounced, faster and faster, a black tide rushed in, and everyone changed color.
Su Chen heard the sound of the distant war horse galloping like thunder, looked up at the sky, the black Jiao was raising his head and groaning angrily, and couldn't help but say: "Good art of war, but it is the way to death!"
It is said that the art of war is good, because this is very simple, but in the past, it could not be broken.
100,000 iron cavalry charged, in this plain land, there is no way to avoid it, even if there is a spear array, it is impossible to resist, and it is normal for 300,000 troops to break through with one drum
This hand is called a great skill, not a person in the art of war, unable to decide, and Jieli is also considered a hero.
But when he encountered the three thousand crossbow array, he was killed, and seeing the enemy cavalry floating on the horizon and rushing straight forward, Su Chen sneered.
The way of the art of war, the line of victory and defeat, the chess is high, and the distance is greater than heaven and earth!
…………………………
Cavalry charge, this is one of the strongest and most powerful tactics of the steppe people.
The scale of the iron cavalry reached tens of thousands, and when the group charge was launched, basically no enemy formation could stop it, not even the spear formation.
The reason is simple, the power of the spear formation is in the first heavy spear forest, but when the group iron cavalry charges, the cavalry in front cannot be terminated at all.
Even if there is a cliff in front of him, he has to rush up.
War horses, which can march at speeds of up to 200 to 250 kilometers in a day and night......
But if you sprint for a short time, you can even reach a high speed of 15 m/s.
At such high speeds, even if they rush up and are pierced by a spear, their momentum can crush a pikeman.
Break it down immediately.
At this time, the cavalry appeared on the horizon, and the convoy hurriedly hooked up with each other......
Ten cars are connected end to end to form a group, which has been prepared for a long time.
The speed of the enemy cavalry is slowly increasing.
First, maintain a certain speed rhythmically, and when you are two miles away, you will exert force violently.
The war horse immediately accelerated, and its momentum swooped down like a tide.
Erli is extremely fast, and it only takes a minute to rush.
Suddenly, the front line, which had already been prepared, immediately raised its flag.
When he boarded, he only heard the sound of "Peng", and the crossbow archers on the cart formation were ready.
After waiting for a few tens of seconds, I heard an order.
"Buzz!"
As soon as the sky darkened, tens of thousands of arrows covered the sky like raindrops, and then rained down.
And there was a heavy crossbow, aimed at the galloping iron cavalry for direct fire.
……………………
Su Chen was on the high platform behind, his eyes were like ice, and his heart was calm.
Sun Tzu said: "The husband who does not fight and the temple is considered the winner, and the one who does not fight and the temple is not victorious, and the one who is not victorious must be counted as less." More wins, less wins, and nothing counts!"
This battle has been calculated to the bones, how can the Turks not suffer losses according to the previous methods of warfare?
In Su Chen's heart, from the beginning of the charge, the end was already doomed, he raised his eyes and looked at the south bank of Weishui, where the air column was rising, and the golden dragon was eager to try.
"Is this also ready to act, to pick up cheap?"
The way to win or lose is the result of the first charge
Although there is a battalion of chariots connected from end to end, if the cavalry maintains this high speed, even a heavy huge chariot can be smashed away with flesh and blood.
But as long as the first heavy setback, it is impossible for either horses or people to produce such a group charge that is not afraid of life and death
In this encounter, there was an instant result
"Poof, poof!" began with a rain of arrows falling from the sky like locusts.
Suddenly, a group of cavalry in the range turned into hedgehogs and fell from their horses.
And the heavy crossbow that shoots straight through the galloping horses is even more direct
"Poof, poof!"
This kind of heavy crossbow is actually a small bed crossbow.
This kind of crossbow appeared in the Warring States, and at this time, the bed crossbow on the car camp was, strictly speaking, very small compared to the heavy crossbow.
The only deficiency is that the twisted shaft is still wound.
After Lu Miaozi's improvement, it is equipped with a facility for fast winding and loading arrows, as long as the hand speed is fast enough, it can also be fired continuously.
The bolts fired were 1 meter long, enough to shoot through heavy armor, even people and horses.
That said, it took a long time to launch this heavy crossbow, so in real combat, the chance of use was only increased once, to two.
It's just one more chance to use it, but it's a battering crossbow.
Three thousand carts fired at once, and even if the shot was not accurate, the enemy cavalry would fall two thousand horses, and the huge impact force almost made the opposite side fall and pile up a hillside of horse corpses.
When the horse was hit by an arrow, it pierced straight in, and could no longer keep sprinting.
Falling heavily and sliding on the ground for more than ten meters, the roaring sound can be felt even if you can't hear it.
If the front rider falls to the ground, the rear rider is affected, and the speed is naturally relieved.
I only heard a bang, and after the rain of arrows, I slowed down, and several horses still crashed into the car camp.
The camp swayed, but fortunately, it was connected from end to end, and it had not yet been overturned or collapsed.
On the high platform, you can also feel the force of the heavy thousand catties pressing up.
Therefore, on the battlefield, even if he is a fierce general, he cannot turn the tide of the battle with his personal bravery, and it is rare to be able to protect himself.
Everything depends on the advance, whether the various conditions prepared are sufficient?
The right time, place, and people, especially the degree of cohesion of the military, have become the key to victory or defeat.
A battalion of 3,000 vehicles, 10 of which ended in one battalion, and 300 battalions, actually surrounded a huge mobile city.
100,000 horsemen charged, a few crashed into the car, and most of them passed through the gap in the camp.
After all, there was a lot of space in the middle, and it was suddenly divided into more than a dozen pieces
At this moment, the drums beat rapidly.
All the crossbow archers of the 300 battalion, no longer caring for their own safety, simply covered the wooden planks of the chariot battalion, and began to shoot the crossbow arrows desperately.
At this time, you can cross-fire, aim the crossbow, and change the crossbow after shooting.
The cavalry that entered, with almost no dead ends, in the same direction, received a salvo from five or six angles
The auxiliaries below no longer pushed carts, but picked up spears and stabbed people with spears through the gaps, or kept their horses at bay, so as to keep the cart camp in order.
Staggered attacks, arrows rained down, and the Turkic cavalry fell like straw.
A large number of cavalry, melted like snow.
Just like there was a giant beast devouring the sky and the earth in front of it, tens of thousands of cavalry rushed forward, and without even making a splash, the whole army was wiped out.
Jieli screamed and spat out a mouthful of blood.
This is the golden wolf horse, it is the elite cavalry that he suppressed the various tribes of the grassland, and it is a strong guarantee for him to sit on the position of the khan.
However, this is not the end of the story.
The front fell, and the rear cavalry did not see the defeat in front at all, and still drove their horses at a gallop.
Even if you see it, you don't have time to turn the horse, it's easy to rush, but it's hard to stop.
With the reins pulled wildly, some shouted loudly, but it was useless, and they rushed straight to the camp, or fell.
All the cavalry rushing forward, once they entered the formation, there was no room for resistance
The most terrible thing is that the battalions are staggered, and even if the cavalry charges desperately, it is difficult to have a straight road, and they must turn from time to time, or they will run straight into it.
In addition to the strength of the first charge, even the car battalion has to be careful.
And the cavalry, who had slowed down, hesitated, and panicked, in the battalion, there was no way to mention this speed anymore.
Speed is to be slowly accelerated by a straight, and without this straight, it can no longer be added
Arrows rain down on you all the time.
Human life is like a mustard.
The sound of puff can even drown out the voice of ordinary people.
The cavalry panicked, not knowing whether to retreat or advance, and with this hesitation, hundreds of names were taken every second
But in the end, there was a hero, and he shouted: "Rush over!"
The sonic boom is clear to the ears, even the deafening hoofs and firing sounds cannot be concealed
As he spoke, this man stepped forward desperately, charged with a flag, and the cavalry behind suddenly had a backbone, and they also charged slowly, gathering the chaotic soldiers.
At this time, the rain of arrows slowly thinned out, and there were only more than 40,000 enemy cavalry left, and there were many wounded soldiers.
And behind, the 100,000 tribal coalition troops also began to advance on horseback, advancing layer by layer, and approaching up.
At this point, even if there is no cavalry advantage, you can't retreat, let alone escape.
You can only attack hard, hoping for what happens.
……………………
Su Chen watched quietly, the enemy had destroyed more than 60,000 elites, and his own car battalion was scattered except for the car formation, but there were only more than 10,000 dead and wounded, most of them were killed by the war horses, and very few were really killed by the cavalry.
Bloody on the battlefield......
However, at this time, the crossbow barracks had also become the end of the strong crossbow, but Su Chen still had a backhand.
"Kou Zhong...... Mo Dao dispatched. ”
A loud shout rang out.
Kou Zhong stood up suddenly, and the eight thousand tall men behind the ballista who had never wavered moved at the same time, forming two horizontal formations, and slowly rushed forward.
These sergeants were all dressed in iron armor, holding more than two meters of Mo knives, the sword light flashed, and the momentum was fierce.
Eight thousand people are like one man.
In this battle, Su Chen wanted to fight it all, so that the Turks no longer dared to invade the south, and went straight to the grassland, how could he not prepare a killer move.
If the Che Ying is the first killer move, then these eight thousand elite Mo swordsmen are the second trick.
The 8,000 people all practiced the simplified version of Shenyi physical training taught by Su Chen himself, which was actually the national art physical training, which could be achieved quickly.
I have to eat a lot of meat every day, and I collect herbs for bathing regardless of the cost......
It can be said that with these 8,000 Mo swordsmen alone, the resources consumed are comparable to 200,000 troops.
The results are certainly encouraging.
