Chapter 227: The Thunderbolt and the Iron Float (There will be a change in a while)
The potter watched the situation on the battlefield in the distance with cold eyes, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Yuan Shu didn't seem to care about the soldiers and horses of the Sun group, and Yuan Shu completely sent the Sun family army as cannon fodder at the moment, and then saw that the Sun family army could not win the battle, so he sent his own army to rush up from behind.
I don't know if Yuan Shu has expected it, but I don't know how many people and horses of the Sun family army will become victims of the trampling of the Mercedes army in the rear, as well as those soldiers who fell on the battlefield but were still saved, and how many people will be crushed to death by the tens of thousands of troops that Yuan Jun rushed up from the rear.
Thinking of this, the potter shook his head helplessly.
This is a battlefield, no one can be blamed for any decisions and actions, and if you want to blame, you can only blame the fate of the Sun family's army, these soldiers are the wrong master.
Shaking his head and throwing out his distracting thoughts, the potter looked at Chen Deng and said, "It's time for our secret weapon to appear." ”
Chen Deng smiled quietly, then waved his hand, and once again ordered the herald to wave the order flag to pass his life.
When he was young, he saw that in the deep city behind the Wet Whisker Dock, huge weapons were moved to the front city of the Wet Whisker Dock.
Looking at these weapons that came to the front, the corners of the potter's mouth were slightly raised, revealing a confident smile.
In the past year, the inventions and creations developed by the potters and Zhang Hong in the Instrument Maker Mansion in Jinling City are not only the Jiangdong plough and keel waterwheel, which are conducive to farming and people's livelihood.
Economic development requires invention and creativity; However, in order to protect economic gains from destruction, war and military innovation are even more needed.
Therefore, when it comes to military inventions, potters have not fallen behind at all.
Turning his head and looking at the soldiers of the Yuan army who were approaching, the pottery merchant's eyes rarely showed the flames of the battle.
It's time for Thunderbolt to perform a song for everyone.
Seeing that Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses were getting closer and closer to him, and had reached the firing range, the potter once again instructed Chen Deng: "Signal Yang Zhan, pull the strings and fire the cannon!" ”
"Huh? What does this mean? Chen Deng was a little dazed when he heard this, and he didn't understand the meaning of the potter's words.
"It's a lot of stones! I have to say such a dirty slogan...... Culture, you have to add some culture, Lord Captain Diannong! ”
Chen Deng rolled his eyes, he was really too lazy to talk nonsense with him.
The brains outside are splashed out, and he is still in the mood to mess with himself here.
I don't know what this kid's heart and nerves are made of.
As soon as the order was given, the thunderbolt that had been prepared for a long time finally made a move.
I saw huge reserve cobblestones, thrown by the thunderbolt, roaring into the sky!
After the stones crossed the curved arcs in the sky, they fell obliquely with a huge gravitational acceleration, and smashed heavily into the military array of Yuan Shujun's impact at an extremely fast speed.
"Boom~~!"
"Boom~~!"
"Boom~~!"
Huge stones smashed into the enemy line, rolling up an overwhelming cloud of dust, and the cobblestones shattered! But seeing the stones splashing everywhere, many Yuan soldiers didn't react to what was going on for a while, and many people were hit by the stones or the splashing of the gravel, and the frightened people fled in all directions, and the scene was suddenly chaotic.
Ji Ling, the powerful general of Yuan Shujun, was brandishing the three-pointed army and rushing straight to the Whisker Dock at this moment, and suddenly saw hundreds of large and round stones from the sky going straight to his own formation, which caused a big chaos in an instant, Rao is Ji Ling is very brave, bold as a tiger, and at this moment he couldn't help but be shocked, and his heart was very frightened.
"Shame on you! What the hell?! Isn't it an extraterrestrial meteor? Ji Ling shouted loudly in disbelief.
After a round of stone bombardment was completed, but seeing that Yuan Jun's formation had been disorganized, the potter immediately raised his eyebrows to Chen Deng and said, "Use the banner to tell Yang Zhan that we should be able to put another round of stones on this stone......
Chen Deng received the order and asked the herald to send the flag again.
Loading stones, pulling strings, throwing ......
Another round of thunderbolt shells flew into the sky again.
Another batch of stones bombarded Yuan Shu's military array, causing a commotion again.
Yuan Shu was in the rear, and he was already stunned.
Surprised, he pointed to the stones flying into the sky from the whisker dock in the distance, and asked left and right for some reason, "What's the matter, what is this?" You can know that those who fly sand and walk away from rocks have God's help......"
Everyone on the left and right shook their heads, completely unclear.
Even the most knowledgeable Yan Xiang was shocked at this moment, he looked at the rain of stones in the sky in a daze, and muttered in his mouth: "It's really a divine thing, Jinling City actually has such a sharp weapon?" ”
However, the Jinling Army's methods did not stop there.
Just after the sudden attack of the thunderbolt caused confusion in the formation of Yuan Shu's army, the army that the potters had been hiding all this time also began to attack.
This is the ace army prepared by the potters at the bottom of the box before this war.
In Jinling City, there were potters who brought back 200 war horses from Xuzhou, and after arriving in Danyang County, they sent people to Qingzhou to purchase 200 horses, and there were 200 war horses in Danyang County.
In the past nearly a year, the potters worked hard to gather all the horses that could go to the battlefield in Jinling City, and trained a cavalry of about 800 people.
Eight hundred war horses is already a huge number in this southern county.
This is not something that can be possessed by a random county guard.
To put it bluntly, this is as difficult as the later generations to gather 800 Maserati in one province.
Moreover, because of the resource support of Jinling iron mine, the potters built this cavalry into the Song Dynasty in later generations, when the famous and powerful heavy armored war horse army.
Historically, this heavily armored cavalry was once called the "Iron Float".
The meaning of the Iron Float is that both men and horses wear heavy armor and launch a crushing charge against the enemy formation.
In the Song-Jin War, the Tiefu Tu and the Kidnapping Horse were generally used at the same time, complementing each other and forming a horn for each other.
Wanyan Zongbi, the general of the Jin State, once used this kind of cavalry battle formation, and in the hands of other countries, he attacked all the way, was invincible, and was intimidating.
In the ancient opera miscellaneous conversations, there are also descendants who call this thing an iron chain horse.
In ancient China, because of the high value of copper and iron production, this kind of very expensive heavy cavalry would rarely be considered by princes, but the potters relied on the advantage of Jinling City's abundant iron production, and armed all the existing 800 cavalry in Danyang County into the prototype of the heavy cavalry of 'Tiefutu'.
All the cavalry are wearing heavy armor, almost only two eyes in front of the mask, and the war horses are also wearing heavy armor, but only four hooves are left, so that the eight hundred cavalry have become a cavalry with heavy armor, super strong offensive power, and extremely high defensive power.
The gate of the Wet Whisker Dock was slowly opened, and the formation of the Jinling Army slowly moved to the left and right, flashing a passage with a hula la.
In this passage, which can only accommodate five horsemen in parallel, a group of heavy armored iron horsemen with men and horses, all wrapped in heavy armor, appeared in front of the eyes of the world, the weapons in their hands, are mainly maces, spears, crossbows, lances and other weapons, like a group of fierce evil ghosts crawling out of hell, the thick armor made of copper and iron at this moment in the afterglow, exudes an icy aura, and the endless killing aura is also beginning to diffuse from their bodies to the surroundings.
And among this cavalry, a leading general with a mountain axe is undoubtedly Xu Huang.
At this time, although the Yuan Shu army was smashed by the Jinling army's "Xingchen Fury" formation chaos, but such a terrifying heavy cavalry suddenly appeared in the enemy's ranks, and those Yuan soldiers couldn't help but pay attention to it.
The potter waved his arm forward, and the sound of a horn resounded through the sky.
In an instant, I saw this cavalry passing through its own army formation, roaring towards the enemy's Yuan army's battle formation, like a tornado made of steel, although its speed was slow, but the potential deterrent power was that everyone present was moved.
And Xu Chu, Xu Rong, Tao Ji and others also gathered all the generals, closely followed the eight hundred heavy armored cavalry led by Xu Huang, and rushed towards the enemy's camp.
Xu Huang was in the first row, urging the horse to gallop.
Except for the beginning of the war after he shot Zu Mao with an arrow with an iron tire bow, he has been hiding in the rear, waiting for the last heavy blow to Yuan Jun.
The heavy armored iron rider slowly galloped while slowly unfolding the formation, horizontally forming about seven or eight rows, with dozens of riders in each row, and each rider had a buffer margin of about one zhang.
Then, I saw this heavy cavalry—heavy, heavy, crashing into Yuan's military formation!
All of a sudden, a terrifying scream rang out in Yuan Jun's array!
Maces, lances, halberds, spears, and war knives each took advantage of the situation and waved each other, tearing out a blood-colored long line in the Yuan army's array, which made people feel cold.
In the Yuan army in the array, some soldiers hurriedly took out bows and arrows and shot at those heavily armored cavalry.
But when the arrows were fired, the crossbowmen found that their shots were like stones sinking into the sea, and not even a single splash of water was splashed, and although some of the cavalry were damaged, most of them seemed to have no feeling, and they were constantly crushing forward like tanks in the heavy armor...... Crushing ......
"What the hell is this?" Many soldiers and soldiers of Yuan have panicked, in the face of such a monster that even people and horses are wrapped in iron armor, many people have encountered it for the first time in their lives, such a terrifying thing is not human at all!
