Chapter 880: Great Eclipse, Bakel Heavy Cavalry!
Chapter 880
Wang Chong just smiled indifferently, this scene had long been expected by him. The Great Cannibal is very cunning, and although he has a strong cavalry and a very strong army, he likes to surrender by trick. When defeated, set up an ambush circle and deliberately lure the enemy army in, such a thing can only be done by the army of the Great Eclipse.
In the last life, after the Great Cannibal defeated the Tang Dynasty, he sent the most powerful Makliumu heavy cavalry to advance into the Us-Tibet Plateau, wanting to invade the Us-Tibet Empire, and finally encountered the desperate resistance of Dayan Mangpojie and the White Male Iron Cavalry, and suffered a heavy setback.
This period of history is still fresh in Wang Chong's memory, and he knows the treacherous tactics of the big cannibal well. What's more, as a generation of military saints, Wang Chong is extremely sensitive to all kinds of changes on the battlefield, and a little clue can make him perceive, not to mention that the big cannibal battle flagpole is straight, and it doesn't look like a rout at all.
"Pass the order down and speed up the construction of fortifications!"
Wang Chong said.
"Yes!"
Xu Keyi received the order, and a group of war horses left quickly.
These big cannibals are far more cunning than imagined, related to the security of hundreds of thousands of troops, as well as the entire Western Regions and the western part of the country, this war is very important, everyone is doing their best to assist Wang Chong, and carry out every order issued by Wang Chong. As far as Xu Keyi could see, Chen Bin, Cheng Sanyuan, Zhang Que, Su Shixuan, Confucius Confucius, and everyone in Zhige Academy, everyone was busy arranging the battlefield nervously.
"Drive!"
Xu Keyi clamped the horse's belly and quickly disappeared into the army.
"Boom!"
Not long after Xu Keyi left, the earth shook, smoke and dust billowed out, and in the retreating Great Eclipse Army, a powerful Great Eclipse Iron Horse, with two black crescent moon patterns imprinted on both sides of the war horse, came in reverse. The aura of this iron horse was extremely powerful, and the knights on the horse, each with their muscles up, were wrapped in a thick black mist around each of them as they galloped.
In front of this iron horse, the other fleeing Great Food Iron Horsemen were immediately eclipsed, like fluorescent light to the bright moon.
Seven or eight thousand iron horsemen galloped towards the place where Wang Chong and the others were.
"Lord Protector, enemy attack!"
Almost at the same time, the horses' hooves were bursting, heavy as thunder, and an officer of the Anxi Du Protector Army, through the army, rushed straight in the direction of Wang Chong.
"My lord, what should I do?"
Wang Chong just smiled and glanced up at the distance, his expression unfazed. An army of seven or eight thousand men has no effect on a large army at all. No matter what legend the Great Cannibal had before, the moment he arrived on the battlefield, the myth was doomed.
"Tell Chen Bin and let him deal with it himself!"
Wang Chong said.
“...... Yes!"
The officer didn't expect Wang Chong to give such an order, his body shook suddenly, he raised his head, and saw Wang Chong calm, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at the battlefield in the distance, with a look of victory in his hand, he was stunned, infected by Wang Chong, and his heart must have disappeared all of a sudden, and he responded heavily, and then took the order.
......
"Ready!"
At the front of the battlefield, Chen Bin stood with a long body, staring at the front motionless. On the opposite side, the smoke and dust were billowing up, raising more than ten zhang high, and the ground was also trembling strongly, through the horse's hooves to kick up the smoke and dust, Chen Bin could see a famous iron horseman, like a killing god, rushing from the opposite side.
Unlike any of the big cannibals he had encountered before, Chen Bin felt a tremendous pressure from this iron horseman, and that feeling was like a shadow, like a storm, suffocating. But regardless of Chen Bin or the 3,000 crossbow team behind him, everyone was fixed there like a reef, not moving at all.
The power of the iron cavalry charge is recognized as unparalleled in the world, if such a cavalry is allowed to rush over, the 3,000 crossbow team behind Chen Bin will definitely suffer heavy casualties. However, one thing descends one thing, regardless of whether the previous cavalry is known as the first class of troops in the world, from the moment Chen Bin's crossbow team appeared, everything changed.
"Boom!"
The cold light flashed, Chen Bin's expression was solemn, the long sword in his hand was raised high, and he pointed obliquely ahead. Rolling, with Chen Bin's movements, in the midst of the sound of the machine, a Han soldier named the Western Capital Protector stood at the front of the crossbow and quickly adjusted the crossbow arrows one by one. The sharp arrows were quickly aimed at the Berkel heavy cavalry in front.
The crossbow team in the west of the moraine is a group of five, one person is responsible for adjusting at any time, and the other is responsible for winding and assisting.
"Strangling formation!
At the same time, in the billowing smoke and dust, a high-pitched, bloodthirsty command resounded through the army. In the center of the army, a big food general with blue eyes and a brown beard shouted loudly. Boom, the qi shook, and a strong wave of qi rushed up more than ten zhang high. Amur is definitely not the most powerful general in the Great Food Legion, but he must be the bravest and most fearless general.
The Berkel Heavy Cavalry, a soldier recruited by Abmus/Lin from Baghdad, the military powerhouse of the Great Food Empire, is one of the elite cavalry under Abmus/Lin. Their greatest feature is the extremely thick heavy armor on their bodies, which can withstand most of the attacks* of heavy crossbows, and bows and arrows, and even many sharp swords can only leave a shallow mark on their bodies.
In a large-scale melee, the Burkel heavy cavalry is often able to rush into the enemy's densest and most powerful place with its heavy armor, scatter the enemy, and disrupt the opponent's formation.
Often in a back-and-forth rush, the Berkel heavy cavalry not only scattered the opponent's main force, but also suffered very little damage to itself. This is also a big reason why Abmuth/Lin sent them.
Eighty zhang!
Fifty zhang!
Forty zhang!
......
The distance is getting closer and closer, Chen Bin keeps calculating in his heart, his mind is concentrated to the extreme, the speed of this big iron horse is extremely fast, and the combat effectiveness is extremely terrifying, as long as there is a little omission and mistake, it may lead to the annihilation of the three thousand crossbow squad.
"Put!"
At the moment when the atmosphere was at its most tense, the long sword in Chen Bin's hand swung down heavily.
Rumble!
The air roared, making a loud noise like thunder, and at the moment when the long sword in Chen Bin's hand fell, a thick crossbow arrow with a length of a zhang took the lead and shot out. Xi Yuyu, with a shocking neigh, blood flowers burst out, rushing to the front of the big food war horse was instantly pierced out of a bowl-sized blood hole, the long crossbow arrow first pierced through the thick armor, pierced from the forehead of the war horse, the horse's hip stabbed out, and then pierced the second and third big food iron horsemen in the rear, until the fourth big food iron horse stopped, in the place where the crossbow arrow passed, brought out a long blood stain, looking magnificent and terrifying.
"What a thick armor!"
When Chen Bin saw this scene, he couldn't stand his eyelids beating wildly. The crossbow and crossbow arrows are the symbols of the top craftsmanship of the Tang Dynasty and the strength of the country. Each of those crossbow arrows was tempered, and it would take at least a few months to come out, and they had to go through dozens of processes afterwards with a large number of inscriptions. In terms of value alone, it is almost equivalent to the same volume of gold.
It is precisely because of this that Datang's crossbows and crossbow arrows have such terrifying power and become important weapons of the country.
When dealing with other Great Cannibals before, Chen Bin's crossbow army could shoot through seven or eight or even more than a dozen Great Food Iron Riders with each crossbow arrow, but now in the face of this unknown elite Great Food Iron Horse, each crossbow arrow only shot through four Iron Horsemen to the end.
This has never happened before.
However, Chen Bin's eyes blinked, and they returned to normal in just an instant. No matter how heavy and solid the armor of this Great Iron Eater Rider is, in front of the 3,000-cart crossbow team, it is destined to be a mantis arm blocking the car, and it is beyond its own strength.
"Second array!
Chen Bin raised his sword and ordered again.
Boom, boom, thousands of crossbow arrows roared and burst out again, enveloping the Berkel heavy cavalry on the opposite side in a rain of arrows. Xi Yuyu, with the terrible neighing of horses, wave after wave of Bakel heavy cavalry fell in front of the crossbow army led by Chen Bin.
"Shoot!"
Wave after wave of crossbow arrows shot out like a waterfall, and the three thousand crossbow teams were divided into three arrays by Chen Bin, each thousand crossbow groups were one array, one array was shot, and the other array was connected, round after round, like a continuous bead, uninterrupted shooting, and there was no space at all.
The Burkel heavy cavalry of seven or eight thousand men suffered heavy casualties in an instant, and none of them were able to rush within ten feet. With Chen Bin as the boundary, within a few hundred zhang in front, it turned into a Shura blood field, with the neighing of horses, screams, crashes, and the roar of crossbow arrows in one piece, and the corpses of the great cannibal Backer heavy cavalry were everywhere, 4,000, 5,000, and 6,000 people...... The Berkel heavy cavalry, famous for its cannibals, was severely damaged and damaged at an astonishing speed in front of a group of 3,000 crossbows.
"Withdraw!"
Seeing this scene, the face of the Great Food General Amur turned pale. The Tang people's attack was too fierce and swift, and that kind of unique round fire, seamless attack, so that the eight thousand Bakel heavy cavalry had no chance to rush in front of the Tang people's military formation. The casualties were so horrific that Amur had never seen such a fierce and terrible attack force in his life.
Boom, horses' hooves rolling, this Burkel heavy cavalry came and went fast, but when they came, there were seven or eight thousand people, and when they went, there were less than a thousand left. The famous Berkel army was almost wiped out in this battle.
"Stop!"
As soon as Chen Bin's long sword was horizontal, the three thousand crossbow teams behind him immediately stopped shooting, one by one, quietly, lined up in a neat array, as if they had never moved, that kind of strict discipline can leave a deep impression on people at a glance.
The strength of the Ballista army is to attack and defend the position with the army, but it is not very powerful in pursuit.
- The speed of the crossbow is not as fast as the speed of the cavalry escaping.
