Chapter 892: The Great Killer
The bearded man said that he needed the general to support him for an hour, there were only tens of thousands of sword soldiers, and there were hundreds of thousands of black warriors on the opposite side, in this case, the best choice was to form a formation to defend and rely on the arrow array to block the black warrior army from approaching, but Pei Tingshan did not plan to do this.
Swordsmen are not good at defense, and they don't have enough defensive equipment, not even many shields.
In the plain field, the cavalry of the black warriors can play the greatest role, so that the sword soldiers who are good at attacking may not be able to hold out for an hour.
With almost 10,000 cavalry, in the incredible eyes of the black warriors, Pei Tingshan took them to take the initiative to attack, and the cavalry team of less than 10,000 people swept towards the black warriors like the wind, and like a fast knife, it swept past the black warriors' military formation, just this one flashed by, relying on the sharpness of the crossbow, the Ning cavalry was cutting off the array of the black warriors.
The black warriors were blinded by this sudden counterattack, and the general who commanded the black warrior army, Yero, never thought that the Ning people would be so fierce, with that little force and tired from afar, they did not follow common sense and did not defend the counterattack.
As the horn sounded, the cavalry of the black warriors rushed over from the side, trying to catch the cavalry team led by the old general, but the old general swept the troops and immediately left the battlefield, and the cavalry of the black warriors were several times larger than the Ning army, and chased towards the old general.
The old general looked back at the black cavalry, the black pressure followed behind like a surging wave, he stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and the cavalry circled in a semicircle and retreated in the direction of the Ning army.
"Catch up!"
The shouts of the Black Warrior General Hierro were filled with rage and rage.
"Catch up, stick behind the Ning people, drive the Ning cavalry to charge their infantry, and break through the Ning army's array in one fell swoop!"
As Hierro gave the order quickly, the sound of the trumpet changed.
The black cavalry that got the order began to accelerate wildly, sticking to the old general's cavalry, but what they didn't expect was that when they were less than twenty zhang away from the Daning sword array, Daning's cavalry suddenly turned another corner, rushing from rushing over to suddenly turning sideways and brushing over, less than twenty zhang away, the smoke and dust brought up by the cavalry in front had already drifted to the infantry.
The cavalry turned abruptly and rushed out, and the black warrior subconsciously followed and chased after him, and at this moment, the cavalry of the black warrior also turned into a horizontal sword array.
"Shoot the arrows!"
With a loud shout, the archers on the side of the sword soldiers released the feather arrows, and the black warriors behind just caught up, and the feather arrows came flat and fierce, and a cavalry was shot over, and many war horses fell to the ground with arrows, and for a while people turned over on their backs.
The overturned war horse tripped the cavalry behind again, and the speed was so fast that the cavalry on horseback had no time to react, and even if they could, the war horse would not have time to stop.
Tipping down is not a matter of one or two war horses, but dozens or hundreds, don't underestimate these hundreds of war horses overturning, it will affect the march of the entire team.
The cavalry behind had to hold on to the reins and stop, and the cavalry of the black warriors stopped abruptly.
The archers of the Ning army kept pouring out the feather arrows, the light cavalry of the black warriors was unparalleled in speed, but they gave up most of the defenses while pursuing speed, these cavalry only had a thin layer of leather armor, which could not block the attack of the feather arrows at all, and they had no shield, and the team stopped again, like a river that was suddenly blocked, silting up more and more, where did the Ning army need to aim here, that is, the target sitting on horseback.
Since ancient times, no one has been able to storm with hussars already formed a defense
The heavy infantry array of the formation, that is to the death, the threat of the light cavalry to the infantry lies in the advantage of speed, once trapped, their knives are short, and they will be poked by the spearmen in a bloody hole.
However, the sword soldiers are not hoplites, and once they are attacked by such a large number of light cavalry, the array will naturally not be stable.
Therefore, Pei Tingshan knew very well from the beginning that even if his sword soldiers were invincible in land battles, they were definitely not opponents of the same number of light cavalry, and the black cavalry chasing him was tens of thousands, and he had to lead this cavalry away.
When the black warrior cavalry stopped as if it was silted up in the river, Pei Tingshan came back with the cavalry, and the old general, who was over sixty years old, took the lead and rushed over from the middle of the black warrior cavalry team with the Daning cavalry.
One knife, one knife, another knife.
The old general's knife can open the mountain, and killing people is nothing.
The knife died, and the corpses were left behind by him, and when his eyes suddenly lit up, Pei Tingshan had already led the cavalry to cut off the cavalry of the black warriors.
He looked back at the sword array, and there were already stone throwing carts being set up.
When the Ning army stormed the Three-Eyed Tiger Mountain Pass, the sailor sent Shen Leng to the improved stone-throwing vehicle that was developed by the Daning Military Department Martial Arts Workshop, and it was transformed on the basis of the powerful stone-throwing car of the Anxi people.
"Fight for the bearded man for a while!"
Pei Tingshan roared: "Cubs, follow me to lure the cavalry of the Black Warriors away!" ”
With the finger of the general's long sword, the cavalry once again moved forward, and this time, they were not rushing towards the army formation of the black warriors, but the large camp of the black warriors...... Before, he took the initiative to attack with the cavalry, which had made the black warriors not react, and this time he rushed towards the black martial arts camp to surprise no one, that was an attack? Isn't that sending people to death?
"What do those Ning people want to do!"
Hierro's face was ugly, as if he had eaten a fly.
For more than ten consecutive days, the onslaught of other ancient cities was not broken, and the national teacher Xin Fengyue was already quite dissatisfied with him, and at this time, as soon as he fought with the newly arrived Ning army, he was beaten by others one after another, and the national teacher will definitely watch the battle in the camp, and I am afraid that after going back, there will be a bitter scolding.
"Plug them!"
Hierro roared.
All the black cavalry chased Pei Tingshan again, before being played by Pei Tingshan and cut off by others, for the proud black cavalry, this humiliation was naturally unbearable, they roared and rushed up, and at the same time, there were also cavalry on the side of the black martial arts battalion who came out to meet Pei Tingshan.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! ”
The bearded man's eyes were red, and he shouted to the soldiers: "The general is buying us time with his life!" ”
He looked at Pei Tingshan, and then at other ancient cities.
Outside the ancient city, the huge city truck of the black warriors is about to reach the city gate, the powerful city hammer, maybe it can smash the city gate of the other ancient city at once, the black warriors are getting closer and closer to the city gate under the cover of the shield array, and the Daning defenders on the city wall have been crazy and keep sending the feather arrows down, but the black warriors are as ruthless, no matter how much they pay, they will send the battering ram to the city gate.
When attacking the Three-Eyed Tiger Mountain Pass, the bearded man saw the Ning army bombing the city pass indiscriminately with a stone-throwing vehicle, and a whim occurred in his mind, how to improve the power of the stone-throwing vehicle? If he can solve this problem, then he will make a more powerful weapon than a ballista.
That would be the most powerful siege machine ever made, with a slight change, and it would be
It is a great killer in the plains field.
But this process is not easy, although at the moment when the Ning army attacked the city, the bearded man already had an idea in his head, but the idea and practice are two different things, the next month, the bearded man was repeatedly studying what kind of materials to use, and failed again and again, his original idea was to use a container to stuff gunpowder into it, and then the stone-throwing truck sent this thing out at least two hundred zhang away, and after landing, the container burst open, causing large-scale damage to the enemy.
Unfortunately, however, countless experiments failed, and there was no suitable thing, and even if there were, it would require an extremely complicated process to cast it, and he could not make such a thing in the northern Xinjiang, and he knew that the casting process of the martial arts workshop could not meet his requirements.
Suddenly, one day, the bearded man's brain was clear.
Before, all he was thinking about was how to improve the power of the stone-throwing cart in the siege of the city, and this container containing gunpowder really stumped him, and he couldn't get out of the horns at once, but later he heard the general and his subordinates discuss the military situation and said that defending the city is to kill the enemy, which means that when defending the city, you must try your best to kill more enemy soldiers.
This sentence of killing the enemy made the bearded man suddenly open.
Why bother with siege?
Transforming the catapult into a field weapon can also make the black warriors scared to the bone.
Just when the general led the cavalry to buy time for the bearded man and rushed to the black warrior camp to lure away the cavalry, the lookout on the side of the sword army array shouted in a hoarse voice: "The black warriors are attacking the city!" ”
The bearded man jerked his head back.
On the other side of the ancient city, the huge battering ram has arrived not far from the city gate, and the desperate black warriors are trying to pull up the crashing wood at any cost.
"That's it!"
The shouts of the captain not far from the bearded man sounded, causing a stream of blood to rush up from the bearded man's head in an instant.
"Hit!"
With a loud shout, the arm of the stone-throwing cart drew a trajectory, and a thing the size of a millstone flew out, the first one flew out, and one after another, something the size of a millstone smashed towards the black warriors who were besieging the city, it was not a stone, but a powder bag.
Calculating the range, leaving the fuse long, igniting it, and throwing the powder bag out, this is the best thing the bearded man can think of.
If you just smash it, you can't deal enough damage to the enemy.
So the bearded man thought of a very ruthless way.
The first gunpowder bag that flew to the side of the black warrior fell, but the fuse burned faster, so that it exploded almost a foot away from the top of the black warrior's head, and the black warrior who was worried about being stoned to death had vacated the place where the boulder landed, but it was not a boulder at all.
Bang!
The gunpowder pack exploded.
The gunpowder bag was mixed with a large number of iron nails, and the moment it exploded, the black warrior seemed to see the end of the world.
The whistling iron nail instantly emptied a large area of the black warriors, burst out, swept the place a ghost crying wolf howl, just exploded not long ago, the second gunpowder bag arrived, slammed down on the black warrior's shield array, knocked down several black warriors, landed just outside the city gate not far away, the gunpowder bag exploded, dense iron nails swept out, no one survived within a radius of two or three zhang, a little farther away, I don't know how many black warriors were injured by the iron nails.
"Hit!"
The bearded man shouted with red eyes: "Keep fighting!" ”
In the sky, one by one, the gunpowder packets fell, and the courage of the black warriors collapsed.
