Chapter 405: Trident Tactics
Sure enough, this second round of fierce fighting only lasted less than a quarter of an hour, and Udi's ironclad elite cavalry circled back again.
It's just that this time, they didn't seem to be in a hurry to launch another rapid attack, but stopped slightly, probably tired enough, and gasped a little violently.
There is a saying that killing one thousand enemies will cause eight hundred, don't look at these two rounds of fierce battles, it is true that the Celestial Empire has the upper hand in the end, but their damage really does not seem to be much worse than the other party.
What's more, perhaps it was only at this time that they finally understood an indisputable fact, that is, the opponent's combat effectiveness was really terrifying.
In particular, the individual combat effectiveness of their ordinary soldiers is really far beyond the previous illusion, perhaps this is the so-called regional difference.
It seems that each of them is superior in height and physique, so the reason for this force to drop ten will be extremely obvious.
Fortunately, the weapons and equipment of the Celestial Empire are far superior to those of the other party, so that they can finally make up for some of the gaps between each other, and it is not too much of a loss.
In particular, the Celestial Empire's iron vine armor shield and multi-layer heavy armor were particularly prominent at this time, after all, they were able to occupy a great advantage in pure defense.
Let's put it this way, the two sides may be the same slash, a gun, or even an arrow, and the soldiers of the Celestial Empire may not really be injured, but the possible situation of the other party is not easy to say.
At this moment, with the sound of several horns, I saw that the third round of rapid attacks of Wu Di began again.
Sure enough, as that Drucker had said earlier, this time the other party really directly transformed into a huge cone-shaped shape, concentrated a little and rushed towards the Celestial Empire.
Seeing this, Xiahou Pingzhi was naturally no longer ambiguous, and suddenly sent an order in code, so that the generals of the major wars could really move, and simply formally took the initiative to respond to the enemy with the "Trident Tactics of Warfare" that had been agreed upon.
said that it was too late, and then it was fast, only to see them hula and scatter, from the original phalanx to hold on, directly divided into three, the middle of the contraction of defense, the two wings instantly detoured out.
This is also strange, originally Xiahou Pingzhi thought that the other party should more or less make certain changes in an instant according to the changes in his own formation, such as dividing a part of his forces and going forward separately to meet his own two wings.
However, who would have thought that they would not be moved at all, and still rush forward directly as they are, even as if they are so-called blind.
In this way, Xiahou Pingzhi was suddenly a little puzzled, and secretly thought to himself: "What do you mean, could it be that the other party really has something else, or has already known that he is personally in charge of this middle lane, and wants to play what 'capture the thief and capture the king first'?" ”
However, he thought about it again: "It seems that this is really not a big deal, at least there should be no leakage of news on my side, because I have already made strict arrangements in advance." ”
Of course, he thought so, but the general tactics that had been established earlier must not be changed casually at this time.
It's a big deal, and then according to the specific situation, let's adapt accordingly.
Fortunately, this was originally a rough parity, and there was not much change in an instant.
In this way, seeing that Wudi's iron cavalry was getting faster and closer and closer, Xiahou Pingzhi suddenly made an extremely incredible bold move.
I saw him tear off the "dust cover" on his face violently, rub the ground and stand up straight from the back of his war horse, and shouted loudly: "The archers obey the order, all change to the latest phosphorus rockets, and prepare to greet me fiercely!" ”
Good guy, as soon as his words fell, I saw that all the Divine Arm Archers who were holding on to the middle lane gave up their ordinary long-feathered arrows, and directly replaced them with new phosphorus rockets on their backs that had not yet been officially opened.
Immediately afterwards, with the order of Xiahou Pingzhi, hundreds of phosphorus rockets like fire snakes flew directly towards the other party.
In an instant, I only heard the other party's screams and wails one after another, and even the formation they rushed to the front was in chaos.
You must know that the latest phosphorus rocket they are using now is not the ordinary phosphorus rocket that their Celestial Empire was equipped with earlier, let alone those sulfur arrows in the ordinary sense.
And it is precisely the batch of special phosphorus rockets urgently transferred by Shangguan Zhongxin of the Qi Palace, and it is also the latest phosphorus rocket developed by the Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall, and the power is naturally very objective.
Let's put it this way, this phosphorus rocket in Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall has two significant characteristics, which is precisely the reason why they are so powerful.
First, that is, this phosphorus rocket from Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall does not need to be specially ignited in advance, and only needs to be launched directly with a bow like an ordinary arrow.
It turned out that this phosphorus rocket was the so-called spontaneous combustion, which relied on the strong wind speed after leaving the string, in order to trigger the phosphorus powder drug attached to its arrow body.
The second, and most peculiar, is that there is a special explosion point on the arrow of this phosphorus rocket, which will explode instantly once it touches any blocking object.
Of course, the explosion point above this arrow must first really explode instantaneously, and there must be a premise, that is, there must be an inertial impact force of absolute acceleration in order to explode instantly after really touching the obstacle.
In this way, its first feature is that its transmitting frequency is greatly shortened, and both efficiency and success rate are greatly improved.
After all, these ordinary brimstone arrows must be ignited beforehand, which is time-consuming, and in many cases, before they can hit the target, they will lose their due power in the middle of the fire.
And its second feature, that is, needless to say, once it is shot, it is just this instantaneous explosion, and its power can be imagined.
What's more, it also comes with terrifying flames, which is even more difficult to deal with.
Of course, the knights on this horse are a little better, as long as they don't directly hit the vital point after being hit by the arrow, they can at least quickly dial and deal with it to avoid greater harm later.
You must know that once this flame really burns, coupled with the impact wind speed on horseback, the sourness can naturally be imagined.
In particular, once the clothes inside the armor are truly ignited, then the consequences are truly unimaginable.
Unless, their reaction is fast enough to dispose of the burning arrow in the shortest possible time, and maybe they will really survive.
It's just that this is just an ordinary knight, but the war horses under their crotch are probably not so lucky.
In particular, these horses are not afraid of such flames, unless they are very rare horses.
In this way, if they convulsed in vain, then the joke could be really big.
You must know that even if a very small number of real convulsions break out in a group like war horses, then they will definitely cause greater chaos and even unbelievable tragedy in an instant.
Of course, it is precisely because of this that in some special cases, there will be an extremely brutal "merciless shooting" solution.
In other words, once such a situation of instantaneous riot of war horses was discovered, the closest commander at that time would directly issue a killing order, and no matter what, they could not cause greater harm.
Sure enough, Xiahou Pingzhi's move really worked very well, and it really made him greatly slow down the opponent's attack speed all of a sudden, and even caused the opponent to have a violent riot in an instant.
However, this was a large-scale cavalry charge, and the so-called riots were only temporary.
Not only that, but the opponent's powerful phosphorus rocket not only did not really scare the other party, but it stimulated them even more, only to see that they really ruthlessly slashed out of a bloody path, and pounced even more frantically.
Seeing this, Xiahou Pingzhi also seemed to be inspired by this bloody scene to have a stronger fighting spirit, only to see that he did not retreat but advanced, and it seemed that he was only ready to fight the other party to the end.
I saw that he first ordered the Shield Blademen and Divine Arm Archers in front of him to retreat temporarily, and immediately prepared to build a second strong defense line in the back.
At the same time, Shi Yunzhen and the three Hulun brothers and their generals led those ironclad knights to hula and all rushed forward, leaving only Zhuang Kunda and Xiahou Pingzhi still standing firmly in place.
Of course, until this time, Zhuang Kunda's 300 "death squads" had not really appeared.
I saw that they were still standing silently far away at the end of the formation, but the war horses under their crotches made some uneasy movements from time to time, and they should have been infected by the fierce battle ahead.
It's just that at this time, the knights on their horsebacks are all holding the reins in their hands with solemn expressions, which can be regarded as controlling their restless emotions, but from time to time a little movement is made.
It is estimated that at this time, the invisible "main general" of the other party has already seen the location of Xiahou Pingzhi clearly, and he saw that the opponent's "cone attack" has become even more "targeted".
