Chapter 542: Zhuge Divine Crossbow
"That's an arrow!" The cavalrymen who were hit by the arrows fell from their horses, and many of them pierced their armor, so they had to break the shafts of the arrows with their swords.
The arrows are very thin and can be resisted with armor unless they hit the vital point, but the problem is that such arrows can penetrate the armor, which is very scary.
Almost instantly, thousands of tiny arrows came straight towards them, and the arc-throwing arrow attacks of the archers in the distance made them unguardable.
The thousand people who just rushed in were explained in this way, and the cavalry behind could not retreat at all, so they could only continue to rush forward, and there were more and more people, and the second line of defense of the vanguard was the heavily armored cavalry.
They are ready.
"Chief, their chariots are equipped with crossbows, which can release arrows in quick succession, faster than the archers, and our vanguard has suffered heavy losses."
Anazhuo saw it, and he was also frightened, the chariot of the vanguard was simply a sharp weapon to restrain their cavalry, thinking that they would suffer in the face of such weapons in the future.
"This news must be sent back to Shibi Khan." This is what Anazhuo wants to do, but it is unclear whether he will survive the current situation.
"Tell the Commanders to attack!"
At this time, the leader of Anadra took up his weapons, all of them were warriors on horseback, and began to charge with men, and tens of thousands of people were all thrown into battle.
When Li De saw this, he immediately let the heavily armored cavalry also charge, Li De brought 50,000 elites, and except for the people who left the guards on the carriage at this time, everyone else was thrown into the battle.
After the expansion of the Tiger Army's personal guards, there are now 10,000 people, all of them are heavily armoured, each of them is riding on two horses, and now after changing into heavy armor, all the spare horses are handed over to the people of the horse convoy for supervision.
The combat strength invested is 40,000 people.
Li De wore the armor of the Metropolitan Governor, and personally led the escort to launch a charge.
These people are really elite, and the heavy truck of the tiger is just enough to restrain the light cavalry, and when they charge, they are like sharp swords, and the enemy's weapons are not effective for them at all.
The strength of the defense of the heavy armor is made of iron ore, and the defense of 10,000 heavy armor is very reliable.
Anazhuo had never seen such a difficult team again, and there was really no way to deal with the heavily armored cavalry in front.
"Hold on, it will be so consumed that their war horses can't support it." Anazhuo is still very knowledgeable, the key to heavy armored cavalry is still to look at the horses, and the endurance of horses with such heavy equipment is limited.
No one knows the horses better than they do, and they can only drag.
Behind the heavily armored cavalry were 40,000 regular elites, and their speed and equipment were superior to those of the Turkic cavalry, especially the vanguard after the stirrups, which could exert their 100% combat effectiveness.
Anazhuo's insight is there, but these elite combat power he encountered are the core combat power of Youzhou.
This was not really what Anadra had suspected, as the heavy cavalry of the vanguard had long been trained in battle, and their advantage was defensive, with the aim of fending off enemy charges.
After intercepting the men, the heavily armored cavalry remained largely motionless, and the rest of the battle to annihilate the enemy would be completed by the cavalry behind and on their sides.
The division of labor is clear, the tactics are tacitly coordinated, and the physical fitness is very good without too much action.
Anazhuo was right, but even without the heavily armored cavalry, they would still have to face the strongest soldiers in Youzhou, and the result would probably be the same.
Fluttering and fluttering, the pursuers led by He Bida are only now rushing over, just attacking from behind, there is only one order for the main force of Youzhou at this time, that is, to attack with all their strength and leave the enemy behind at all costs.
Anazhuo is in a hurry, the current situation is not optimistic, the battle situation at this time is undoubtedly defeated, and there is no way out but to fight to the end.
The end is doomed, after listening to a few hours of fighting, Anazhuo led most of the cavalry to be captured, and it is by no means the style of the vanguard to kill them all, and those who survive will have a more important mission to complete.
Li De had already planned that the fields around the military city had already been reported, and the land was sparsely populated and there were basically not many people, so these Turkic captives would work as farmers.
However, the city will have to increase its troops to ensure safety.
"Hebida participates in the Grand Governor."
"Captain Hedu, it's been a hard time for you for more than a year, repair it and rush back to the military city as soon as possible." Li Dedao.
"Yes."
He Bida briefly talked about the release of the soldiers.
"Speed up, Shi Huaiyi and Ding Qilin are waiting to see their results." Li Dedao.
For the 200,000 soldiers and horses of Goryeo, Li De did not care too much, and He Bida made the situation clear, the cavalry had a great advantage over the infantry itself.
Now with the 50,000 elites he brought, they are not afraid of even if Goryeo unites several small countries to launch a large-scale battle again.
"Bingcheng is a good place, and after the border chaos is completely resolved, we must try to gather people to come and live, with these fields, reserves and commercial trade will be the factors that will drive the development of Bingcheng." Li De said.
He Bida listened to Li De talk to him about these things all the way, and he had a vague premonition in his heart, I was afraid that he really wanted to leave him in the military city to develop.
"The Grand Governor, the last general is a rough man, I don't know what to do." Hebida immediately dissociated himself.
"Alas, you can't say that, the ability is all exercised, you haven't managed the military city very well for more than a year, and there will be enough food reserves after the autumn harvest, and you can start construction at that time, and prepare to welcome the people who have migrated in the future, and prepare early." Li Dedao.
He Bida knows very well that when the soldiers come, the people will have a better life, and if a certain scale is formed, the Liaoshui boundary will develop steadily, and it will become the subsidiary state capital of Youzhou sooner or later.
He could understand that Li De told him that these things were to prepare for a more ambitious goal.
But he is still more interested in fighting, he is really powerless to govern the affairs of the military city, and he can have such a situation because he has all the soldiers under him, if there is really a large group of people, I am afraid that the situation will be different.
"Grand Duke, did you see that those ballistas were different from those sent before?" He Bida asked curiously.
"Haha, you're talking about the Zhuge God Crossbow, which is a kind of bow and crossbow that can fire continuously, in fact, the Force is not responsible, use the bowstring to connect the shaft and automatically load the arrows, I have a small portable self-defense bow and crossbow for you to see."
As he spoke, Li De took out a relatively small bow and crossbow from the carriage, saying that it was relatively small and 30 centimeters in size, and tested the loading and operation methods, and He Bida had already mastered it.
It's not magical, but when you use it, it's just a surprise.
