Chapter 314: Tempting Each Other
The uproar was certain, and the people were a little panicked, but the army formation was still neat, and although the soldiers were shocked and puzzled, they did not lose their combat effectiveness. Although Prince Mead's management of the army is not as rigorous as Yang Yi and Jones, he can be regarded as a good player, especially the offense and defense dominated by the knights, and fully exerted the tradition to the strongest.
In Yang Yi's opinion, Prince Mead's army was not stimulated enough, waved his hand, and dozens of wooden carts pushed forward a few steps, Prince Mead's army was a little impatient, and they all turned their heads to look at the nobles and knights in command, but Prince Mead did not make any move.
The most troublesome person is Prince Mead, dozens of black witches are tied to wooden carts, it is a difficult problem to save or not, and the Harrin witch does not show up, which makes Prince Mead very passive, and what is even more passive is that dozens of wooden carts have pushed forward a few steps, whether to send troops to save the witch or not?
Yang Yi didn't embarrass Prince Mead for too long, and made a slashing gesture towards Thors, who understood what Yang Yi meant, and shouted loudly to Prince Mead's army: "Our great king Yang Yi is the emperor sent by heaven, the son of heaven, he pulled out the sword in the stone, for the well-being of the people, dare to start a war with all evil witches, we are never afraid of any evil, and we are never afraid of any darkness, under the will of the dragon king, anything that stands in the way will be crushed and conquered, for the kingdom, for the great dragon king!" ”
Tols's eloquence is good, it was supposed to be a declaration of war for murder, and he read it aloud like a poem, and after saying these words, in the silence, Thors raised his arms and slashed down, and the man with the wooden bench behind him put the wooden bench next to each wooden cart, and then the warrior with a long sword stepped on the wooden bench, aimed it at the witch's head, and cut it down!
In ancient China, there was a saying about killing people before the war, which was not said in the fairy tale world, but it did not prevent Yang Yi from using this method to deter Prince Mead's army, because Yang Yi killed not ordinary people, but dozens of witches...... It was such a bloody picture, and it had never been done before.
Yang Yi killed dozens of witches in one go, it was too domineering, the army followed such an emperor, it was quite proud, and when the witch's head fell to the ground, Yang Yi's army let out a shocking cry: "Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng...... Long live the king!"
Prince Mead's army was like ashes, Prince Mead couldn't bear it anymore, and let a brave knight lead five hundred cavalry to rob the witches, not only because he was afraid that the witches would not be effective, but he was also afraid of the loss of military morale.
The knight sent by Prince Mead is his descendant, he is very brave in battle, often takes the lead, and has been promised by Prince Mead, after defeating Yang Yi, he will be canonized as a nobleman and a viscount, of course, the knight has to play with his life, the long sword was drawn, and he rushed towards Thors and dozens of wooden carts fiercely.
The cavalry were very fierce, because there were no cavalry next to the wooden cart, all of them were infantry, only Thors rode a horse, which was simply the credit sent to the door, to everyone's surprise, five hundred cavalry rushed out fiercely, fell even more fiercely, as soon as the horsepower of these cavalry started, there was a soldier with a hammer behind the wooden cart, knocked down the spring behind the wooden cart, and with a crisp sound, several thick javelin-like arrows in front of the wooden cart shot out towards the cavalry.
This scene was so surprising that no one recognized what the wooden cart was, Prince Mead and his nobles and knights studied it for a long time, and agreed that the protruding spear tips should be used for decoration, to prevent the army from robbing the wooden cart, who would have thought that it was not a decoration, but a weapon of murder.
Yang Yi is not a science and engineering man, he has no experience in making guns and cannons, and that thing does not mean that it can be built, there are too many talents needed, and he has no time to train, but the gap in knowledge can always make him think of other ways to make up for it, such as this wooden car, which is actually a modified version of the bed crossbow.
The bed crossbow, also known as the bed crossbow, was developed on the basis of the winch crossbow of the Tang Dynasty. It is the combination of two or three bows that greatly enhances the tension and strength of the crossbow. When opening the crossbow, the crossbow string is connected to the winch with a thick rope, and the soldiers shake the winch, open the crossbow string, and set the giant arrow, and when the fire is fired, the soldier should slam the trigger with a sledgehammer, and the machine will shoot the arrow into the distance.
Yang Yi saw the bed crossbow when he traveled, and the bed crossbow in ancient China was mostly used to defend the city, and was rarely used to attack, Yang Yi observed the bed crossbow very carefully, but he has always had a doubt, that is, why didn't the bed crossbow be made into a small car that could be pulled in ancient times, loaded with wheels, and used as a mobile force?
No one can answer this question to him, maybe because of the limitations of the times, or maybe because of something, but this does not prevent Yang Yi from inventing it, after all, he has an old inventor Movis, Yang Yi drew the general appearance of the bed crossbow, and how to use it, so he handed over this proposition to old Movis.
Old Movis also lived up to expectations, his hair turned a lot whiter, before the war with Prince Mead, he made a ballista, Yang Yi exuded sexual thinking, and tied the witches to the cross of the ballista, so that it was a torture instrument and a chariot, the question was who could have thought of it, so Prince Mead's five hundred cavalry was tragic.
The arrows on the bed crossbow were very thick, and the arrows were flat and chiseled, called "chisel arrows", and the range was about 120 to 135 paces. The power is even more terrifying, dozens of ballista carts shoot crossbow arrows, that is, hundreds, whistling away, really touch and die, next to each other, regardless of whether it is a horse or a person, what is even more fucking is that because of the huge crossbow arrows, even if they kill someone and unload their strength and fall to the ground, they are the same as wooden sticks, which can mix horse legs.
Not only was the blood splashed, but the crossbow arrows of the car were fired in a volley, which was simply flesh and blood, and there were people and horses who died, which was incomparably tragic, and Yang Yi's army was still cutting off the witch's head, and there were even soldiers who went to load new arrows after shooting crossbow arrows.
With such a huge arrow, it is easy to launch it, but it is not easy to install it, you have to first use a thick rope with hooks at both ends, hook the crossbow string at one end, hook the shaft of the winch at the other end, and then use five, seven or more than ten warriors to winch the winch, open the crossbow string, buckle it on the teeth, and the crossbowman who is in charge of loading the arrow installs the crossbow arrow and aims at the target.
If Prince Mead had continued to attack despite the casualties at this time, there might have been a chance to win, but Prince Meade and his army were all frightened by the power of the bed crossbow and did not react, and at this time, a thousand cavalry of the Shenwu Army rushed out and protected the crossbow.
A war of more than 100,000 or 200,000 people like Prince Mead and Yang Yi is definitely a big battle, and it is impossible to separate the winner from one impact or one blow, this is a process of attrition and requires timing, so everyone is trying to do it at the beginning, or it is a small battle.
This kind of battle is not only a temptation, but also has the effect of boosting morale, but Prince Mead didn't expect the opening to be so tragic, almost no power to fight back, and even a beat slower in reaction, and when he reacted, the thousand soldiers of the Shenwu Army had already protected the crossbow, and the crossbow arrows on the crossbow were also loaded again, which greatly boosted the morale of Yang Yi's army, but made Prince Mead look very stupid.
Prince Mead must do something to save the morale that has fallen very much, and the safest way is of course to let the archers release arrows towards Yang Yi's army, but the range is not enough, after all, the range and power of the bed crossbow cannot be compared with ordinary bows and arrows, so Prince Mead is very passive.
Prince Mead was passive, Yang Yi took the initiative, the two sides organized an army of more than 100,000 people, plus the people, there must be more than 300,000 people, these people are here to kill, not to travel, Prince Mead did not react, and the commander who commanded the battle advanced a little, this distance is just outside the range of the bow and arrow, but within the range of the bed crossbow.
Prince Mead is not without any means, it is obviously unwise to send troops to attack, then it can only be defensive, after all, Prince Mead's real strength is the two thousand heavily armored knights, which can only be used at a critical moment, and he doesn't know much about the mind of the Harrin witch.
Before Prince Mead came to the grassland to fight Yang Yi, he made two thousand huge shields, thick wood wrapped in iron armor, more than two meters high, first transferred these shields to form a defensive line, which could temporarily block the bed crossbow, but before the shield did not form a defensive line, Yang Yi's bed crossbow was not polite at all, and kept releasing arrows, killing the front soldiers of Mead's army with great power.
Yang Yi's tactics are called inch by inch, Prince Mead has no choice but to mobilize the shield while letting the brave knight lead the cavalry to attack from both sides, and retreat, the result is more like a game, Prince Mead's cavalry is far less elite than Yang Yi's cavalry, although it is only an attack, but it can always be killed by Yang Yi's cavalry with a crossbow.
Prince Mead retreated, Yang Yi moved forward, always staying out of the range of the bow and arrows, so that Prince Mead was very aggrieved, fortunately, the crossbow was difficult to load, under the shouts of Prince Mead and the knights, barely stabilized the military heart and formation, after the crossbow shot three rounds, Prince Mead's two thousand huge shields were finally erected on the front line.
He could finally suppress Yang Yi's crossbow, but what Prince Mead didn't expect was that as soon as his shield was erected, Jones blew the horn to withdraw his troops, protected by cavalry, and Prince Mead could only helplessly watch Yang Yi's army withdraw into the military formation, leaving only a tragic corpse, with soldiers, headless witches, and dead war horses......
