Chapter 701: The Chariot Appears

The chariots were mainly made of wood, but they were made stronger due to the special treatment of wood and the techniques used in their construction, and the horses were protected by iron sheets and equipped with light armor.

Light armor was actually made of thicker equipment in the most vulnerable areas of the horses, and two coachmen drove the carts in closed positions to protect against enemy arrows and spears.

Above the chariot was a propeller-like wooden structure with an iron fan, and the central bearing was the one for the carriage.

As long as the carriage is moving, the spiral blade will advertise, and this distance is much longer than that of a horse and a carriage.

Able to protect the carriage without enemies in the area it passes.

This chariot was designed to restrain cavalry, because the height of the spiral blade was higher than that of the horse, and as for the fact that the household would not be attacked by people who rolled to the ground, he was not worried at all, because the extended bearing of the carriage could shatter everything.

The carriage was not very fast to drive, but it was indeed a big killer, and even the Youzhou soldiers would only follow behind when it was put into the battlefield.

This is the front car, and the rear chariots are equipped with Zhuge crossbow arrows, in order to prevent the enemy's arrow attacks, the modified bow and crossbow carts are also equipped with defensive armor, so that the soldiers who change the arrows can hide on the car.

The idea of the chariot was actually inspired by the Turks after the last attack on Shuofang, and now it is a sharp weapon for the Youzhou soldiers.

The new chariot was put into the battlefield, and many craftsmen were recording data from a distance, and Li De really made a bloody investment this time.

"Run!"

When the Turks saw that the chariots restrained them, they had no intention of fighting at all, and the scene presented now was a one-sided harvest of chariots.

"Retreat, retreat, fight your way out of the encirclement."

The Turkic cavalry now has only one thought of killing them quickly, and now it is at all costs.

Du Fuwei and Li Zitong looked stupid from a distance, they knew the battlefield, but the first time they saw the Youzhou chariot, they could immediately think that if they were enemies, they would be the ones who would harvest now.

Both of their backs were wet with sweat.

I don't know what the Turks and the people who watched the excitement thought, but the Youzhou soldiers didn't intend to let them escape.

Although the effect of the tank is obvious, after all, the number is limited and it can be purchased partially, and the weakness of the tank is also obvious, that is, the speed will slow down due to the rotation of the linkage bearing, that is, it will not run fast.

The Turkic cavalry wanted to really escape, but they really couldn't catch up.

However, now that the Youzhou soldiers have charged in front of the Turks, it is not a matter of time before they are besieged and want to get out.

What's more, the soldiers and horses in Youzhou will be blocked to death.

Li De was very calm, he had already seen the power of the chariot, and the Youzhou soldiers had also seen it, and the deterrent power of several such chariots was more obvious than that they had thousands of troops.

"The tank is still not flexible enough."

Li De also saw the weakness, but compared to conventional weapons, this was already very powerful, and he also focused on some Zhuge ballistas.

Although it is not as deterrent as the blade chariot, the effect of injuring the enemy is still very high, and the Zhuge crossbow chariot is also the most equipped chariot at present.

The whole group can achieve a large-scale attack by releasing arrows, and the ballista is also divided into melee and ranged combat.

The one that can exceed 400 steps is the long-range bow and crossbow, which is larger than the melee Zhuge Ballista, and the distance of the Zhuge Ballista is 200 steps to damage the enemy, and the burst function is faster.

It is not the first time that Youzhou's chariots and horses have cooperated in a large-scale battle.

"Look, what are those chariots of the Youzhou soldiers, why are they so powerful?" Li Zitong asked in surprise.

How did Du Fuwei know, but the ballista can be seen, but the ballista in front of him can fire continuously, which is a little shocking.

You must know that the use of the ballista of the Sui Kingdom takes a long time to replace the arrows, and one person may not be able to complete it.

Looking at the ballista that rushed into the local battle formation, the frequency of bows and arrows was the same as that of ordinary archers.

"I don't know if you ask me." Duvowe said frankly.

The main force of the Youzhou soldiers and horses charging was not idle, and they kept fighting the enemy with bows and arrows in the back, keeping a safe distance from the chariot.

"Archers aim a little and don't hurt the horses."

"Oh, what a loser, the horses are all trophies."

During the attack, the generals of Youzhou reminded from time to time that the usual training and combat were very tacit in this kind of harvest battle.

If an enemy falls off his horse and is caught up, the Youzhou soldiers who are charging behind will arrange for someone to lasso the horses first and gather them together and bring them back.

They're really, really good at loot grabbing.

It seems that they are attacking frantically, but in fact the distance between them and the enemy is only the range of a bow and arrow.

Close combat with cavalry or something, they don't have this tactic at this time.

The horses of the chariot need to rest, and after serving as a deterrent, the chariot is stopped, and then the cavalry warriors really play their role.

"Rush!"

The Youzhou cavalry, with the blood of Sen Sen on their armor, reflected the fierce battle for a while before Du Fuwei and Li Zitong remembered that they were going to participate in the battle.

Li De personally led the team to continue to invest troops, wanting to quickly resolve the battle.

The vehicles have been recovered, several vehicles have slight wear and tear, and the data has been recorded, and Situ En compares the actual combat effect after the vehicle is applied.

"Metropolitan Governor, this new blade has injured a large number of enemies in World War II, it is really useful." Situ Endao.

"Don't rejoice too early, these things are tools, as long as the goal is achieved, send out the last people who are in the formation, and strive to end the battle as soon as possible."

Li De said it very easily, but in fact, the people on the battlefield were not easy at all.

Du Fuwei and Li Zitong were like watching an epic battle on the side, and when they saw that the Youzhou soldiers had received a large number of horses, they all looked red.

Second, they have 100,000 war horses in front of them, and how much benefit they can get now depends on themselves.

The main Turkic forces did not know that the soldiers and horses they wanted to rescue had now been wiped out.

The Youzhou soldiers are all stable, and the materials are collected more and more.

Li De looked at the time, and the generals around him immediately came over to report to him the number of war horses collected.

After more than an hour of fighting, the Youzhou soldiers directly captured more than 30,000 horses, poor Du Fuwei and Li Zitong had no main cavalry, and they were still weak in the battle.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the generals have received more than a hundred war horses, and this kind of record is already very good for them.

"Retreat." Li De saw that it was almost time to withdraw from the battlefield, and even the blocked retreat was given way.

"Governor, don't you really want to let them go, there are a lot of war horses?" Situ En was beside him and asked just then.
