Volume 4: Iron General Huo Xiaotian Chapter 113: World War II Yungu Mountain

Fortunately, this time their attack distance was only a mile away, and in the blink of an eye, their first round of strong attack was close to the ironclad chariot.

Of course, as soon as their side hit the attack range of the strong crossbow, the iron-clad elite cavalry of the Yungu Cottage was like an arrow from the string, and they rushed out one after another. All of a sudden, the two sides were in a truly vicious scuffle.

However, what surprised Hu Yu and the others again was that this time the ironclad elite rider was just a wave of head-on attacks, but they were not entangled with it like yesterday.

I saw that after the first wave of their attack was completed, they immediately returned to their own formation, and after shooting low with the second round of strong crossbows from their own ironclad chariots, they really quickly assembled into their own formation.

Moreover, the low shooting of the strong crossbow in this round is also extremely vicious and domineering, and they specially shoot accurately at the legs of the war horses, which is concentrated and dense.

You know, even if the soldiers on it have any armor and shield protection, they can't protect the position of the horse's legs anyway.

Not only that, in the inner circle of this ironclad chariot formation, the ironclad elite cavalry that people had just withdrawn was not idle. I saw that they also bent their bows and arrows one by one, and carried out accurate sniping from the inside and outside, and they were really almost no arrows.

In this way, Li Cheng's four-sided phalanx was just a round of charge, and this had not really rushed to the front of many people, which had already suffered heavy losses.

The opponent's strong crossbow and sharp arrows are too domineering, and their ordinary bows and arrows cannot be compared with others at all. In addition, they are relatively static "ironclad fortresses", and ordinary arrows do not play a big role at all.

After this first round of attacks finally rushed to the front of the people, then directly pick up the knife and gun in his hand and slash down viciously, but this doesn't seem to have any effect at all.

You must know that the outside of the house is directly protected by a thick iron plate, and ordinary knives and guns have no effect at all, and they can't hurt the soldiers hidden inside.

Even Li Cheng, who is known as a fierce general, used his mace, which weighed thirty or forty pounds, to smash it hard this time, I am afraid that there will be a strength of hundreds of catties.

But who would have thought that even his moment would only shake the ironclad chariot back slightly, and he didn't really smash any gap at all.

After the fact, after Huo Xiaotian and them officially attached, they finally figured out the key to this. Dare to love, people's ironclad chariots, but they all rely on the kind of buckle known as "step by step" buckle to carry out the corresponding connection, not just a simple assembly.

In addition, the protective armor on the upper half of their ironclad chariot is the most sturdy and reliable, and most of them are superimposed with three layers of iron shields. And each layer is specially lined with thick cowhide to cushion and drain the force.

The most annoying thing is that others can't really attack and kill, and they are hidden inside the ironclad chariot. But these soldiers of the people were not idle at all, sometimes with a strong crossbow shot at close range, and sometimes with the precise stabbing of the pikeman.

This good guy, seeing Li Cheng and so many of them surrounded on all sides, but only seeing his own people winning the bid and falling, he couldn't see that any of the gaps in the people had been completely opened.

Even if this is, there are a few proud soldiers who took advantage of the fierceness of the charge just now, and really rushed into it from the natural gaps in the ironclad chariots of others. However, waiting for them inside was the ironclad elite rider who was waiting for them.

In less than a dozen rounds, their so-called "lone army" was solved in an instant.

Because even if they can resist the slashing and slashing of those ironclad elite riders of others, they can't escape the ruthless shooting and stabbing of those ironclad chariots in the inner circle of people.

In this way, just this first round of attacks, when Hu Yu had no choice but to order the withdrawal, it reached a one-third of the loss.

Fortunately, most of the soldiers were fine, but once again they suffered those innocent horses, at least more than 300 horses were killed on the spot, not counting those who were injured.

Seeing this, after his soldiers took a little breath, Hu Yu gritted his teeth and directly launched a second round of attacks.

Moreover, this round of men and horses surrounded on all sides no longer blindly rushed forward, but before they could enter the range of the opponent's strong crossbow attack, they took the lead in officially showing their own mechanical strong crossbow.

Originally, the twenty mechanical strong crossbows were hidden behind Hu Yu's reserves, and it was only at this time that Hula suddenly pushed them out.

You must know that each of these mechanical crossbows requires more than 20 people to work together to operate, not simply pulling and launching by manpower, but relying on the twisting force of the machine to launch.

And this can fire more than a dozen elongated special arrows at a time, both in strength and range, far beyond the ordinary iron arm bow. Generally speaking, even a heavily armored soldier would never be able to resist the attack of such a mechanical crossbow.

Not only that, this time, under the special instruction of Shangguan Zhongzhi, Hu Yu also directly replaced it with a special phosphorus rocket, so that it directly became a so-called long-range "rocket" attack.

What's more, behind these mechanical crossbows, even the kind of "giant wood radium arrows" that will only appear in the city defense battle have already been quietly pulled up.

Originally, this giant wooden radium arrow was the kind of round giant wood used in the siege of the city to hit the city gate, and it was only to enhance their actual attack strength, so it was usually inlaid with a special metal arrow on the top.

This kind of giant wood radium arrow is usually the kind of red pine wood with the thickness of one person, and it is usually a whole giant tree with the crown and roots removed, and only the middle section is taken, which is about eight or nine meters long.

In addition, in order to make it easy to use and carry it repeatedly, it is common to tie seven or eight iron hoops on the top of the tree, and to fix multiple iron loops on both sides.

In general, it is carried on a special laser cart and then towed by horses.

However, when it is officially used on the battlefield, it has to rely on simple manpower, which is lifted by many people with poles, and then pushed by manpower behind it.

It is by virtue of its huge inertial force that it achieves the purpose of hitting the city gate with great force. You must know that the power of this giant wooden radium arrow is extremely strong, and it is difficult for ordinary city gates to withstand its repeated impacts.

As far as today's situation is concerned, it goes without saying that Shangguan Zhongzhi wants to follow the chaos caused by the phosphorus rocket first, and then carry out the second round of four-sided onslaught, and finally simply use the violent attack of the giant wood radium arrow.

In this way, even the phosphorus rockets in front and the fierce attack of the second wave really can't make much difference. However, the ten giant wooden radium arrows that finally took the opportunity to lean on can also exert their maximum attack power.

You must know that in the final analysis, their ironclad chariot is just a simple artificial splicing combination, and it is not a real ironclad fortress at all.

Therefore, although they can withstand the repeated attacks of simple light cavalry, it should be extremely difficult to resist the huge attack of this giant wood and radium arrow.

Even if they were, they were able to maneuver and disintegrate in an instant, in order to avoid a devastating blow in the true sense of the word. However, in this way, their so-called ironclad chariot no longer exists, and the Qimen Bagua Array will naturally disintegrate.

At that time, as long as all their soldiers and horses are embraced, even if they can really take one as ten, I am afraid that they will be powerless at that time.

However, in the next step, the bizarre thing that shocked Hu Yu and all of them happened again.

It turned out that at the beginning, the phosphorus rockets launched by the more than 20 mechanical crossbows really played a certain deterrent role. Although the opponent's ironclad chariot did not really receive any damage, the ironclad elite cavalry inside them was quite surprised, which really caused a certain amount of turmoil.
