Chapter 233: The Battle of Mianzhou (2)

The troops of the Tiance Army are not only good in weapons, but also not bad in protection, except for the armor, the shield is not ordinary, at least not as easy to shoot through as the shield of the Xichuan Army.

Because it is not against cavalry, the Tiance army is not used in a sharp arrow formation. The so-called blade array is actually a combination of Mo knife and bow and crossbow, Mo knife in front, bow and crossbow in the back, in addition to not being able to prevent bows and arrows, it is very good to deal with cavalry.

However, the Xichuan army in front of him is all infantry, and the usual sharp arrow array naturally has no use, and even the Shenji battalion does not use the sharp arrow array.

For the sword and shield soldiers in the front row, resisting the first round of impact is the most important, and only by blocking them can they have a chance to survive.

However, when the Xichuan army collided, the Tiance army did not passively not fight back, and the armored pikemen who were the first round of counterattack stabbed out of the gap in the shield with their spears.

Although the Xichuan army in front of him was also brave, it did not break up the formation of the Tiance army, and the soldiers behind rushed forward one after another, and suddenly let the Xichuan in front of him be sandwiched in the middle.

The soldiers of the Tiance Army did not give these unlucky Xichuan too many opportunities to think too much, and when the spears were stabbed out, the unlucky ghosts in the middle were suddenly stabbed to the heart, and then the screams resounded in the sky.

After blocking the onslaught of the enemy army, the Tiance army began to counterattack. The best defense is to attack, and now the Xichuan Army has a numerical advantage, if the Tiance Army passively defends, it will lose the initiative in the war, and it is better to break off the attack.

After the pikemen rushed out of the gap left by the sword and shield men, the sword and shield men in the front rows of sword and shield men vigorously raised their shields to knock the enemy away, and the horizontal knife in their right hand slashed down at the enemy.

In this kind of battlefield, who cares about the usual drills, as long as the knife technique that can cut the enemy to death is a good knife technique, and everything else is false.

The Xichuan Army, which could take the lead in the charge, was not a weak soldier, and it also raised its weapons and slashed towards the Tiance Army. However, when they slashed at the Tiance Army, except for a trace of sparks, they didn't treat each other badly.

It's not that the armor of the Tiance Army is really invulnerable, but that ordinary soldiers want to cut it at once, and it is not an easy task. Of course, it's another matter if you encounter high martial arts.

The Xichuan army failed to kill the Tiance army in front of him with one sword, and the Tiance army naturally would not stand stupidly and let the other party cut it. The soldiers of the Tiance Army who found themselves invulnerable were immediately overjoyed, and directly raised their weapons and cut them down, and some Xichuan soldiers raised their weapons to block, only to find that the weapons in their hands were actually cut off with a knife.

It is true that the standard weapon of the Tang Dynasty army was the horizontal knife, but the quality of the horizontal knife was also high and low. In the first two hundred years of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the horizontal knives of the regular army were naturally not defective, but now, there are endless wars, a lot of technology has been lost, and the lack of skilled craftsmen has led to uneven quality of weapons.

It's not that the quality of the weapons of the Xichuan Army is poor, but the average quality level is still inferior to the Tiance Army.

Therefore, the Xichuan army suffered not only in armor, but also in weapons.

Even though the Tiance army suffered a little loss in numbers, it relied on good discipline and sophisticated weapons to stabilize its position, and it was still taking the initiative to attack.

The war of tens of thousands of people did not end in a while, and it was done with real swords and guns.

However, just when Liu Qi was temporarily relieved, someone next to him suddenly shouted, "General, the enemy has attacked the Chinese army." ”

Liu Qi hurriedly looked back, and found that tens of thousands of cavalry had already rushed towards the camp where the Chinese army was located, and when he thought of this, he was a little worried about Li Ye.

"Pass my order and tell Shi Ling that when the enemy's infantry army attacks the Chinese army, lead the seven men and horses to attack from the enemy's flank to relieve the pressure on His Highness." Liu Qi commanded loudly.

"Yes."

Liu Qi's approach was risky, but he had to do it too.

It was Li Ye's strategy to let him and Li Hong's two armies pour out of the nest and leave behind the seemingly weak Chinese army, which he had set a long time ago. Liu Qi roughly knew Li Ye's plan, and he planned to use the power of firearms.

However, in Liu Qi's opinion, the Shenji Battalion is not good in close combat, although the Jinyi Guard is a cavalry, but there are only three thousand, and it is difficult to play a decisive role. So he had to send an infantry to support, so that the pressure on Li Ye's side would be reduced, and the enemy's camp would be chaotic.

But there was only so much he could do, and there were a lot of enemy troops in front of him, and it was impossible for him to ignore them.

。。。。。。

"Launch!"

With Long Zhi's order, two thousand arrows roared towards the Qiang cavalry and the Xichuan cavalry like dark clouds.

In an instant, the cavalry that rushed to the front turned on their backs, and more than 500 people were shot down. Immediately afterwards, the second round of arrows from the Shenji Battalion also arrived, and there were constantly Qiang cavalry or Xichuan cavalry screaming and falling to the ground in the charge.

Wave after wave of arrow rain roared, and the dense arrow rain easily shot through the Qiang cavalry without armor protection. Even the Xichuan cavalry wearing armor did not dare to guarantee that they would not be able to shoot in the face of a strong crossbow with strong penetrating power.

For a while, one by one, the cavalry of the coalition army fell from their horses, and then they were trampled into mud by the horses that galloped from behind.

It was not that these cavalrymen did not fail to see their comrades who had fallen off their horses in front of them, but it was impossible for the cavalry galloping at high speed to stop, and they could not stop.

What did the cavalry rely on in the era of vertical and horizontal cold weapons? It's the speed of the rush.

A hundred paces away, for a cavalryman, is just a breath.

Yao Shuochuan didn't see that the sons of the clan kept falling to the ground, as long as there was a war, it was impossible to avoid death and injury. By winning this war, they will not only be able to defend themselves, but the entire tribe will also receive a lot of resources.

Just these waves of crossbow arrows want to stop their attack? I don't underestimate them.

When Yao Shuochuan led the cavalry to rush to less than 50 steps away from the camp of the Tiance Army, he saw that the Tiance Army not only did not resist in formation, but instead let a group of soldiers without shields fight behind the camp fence.

Do you want to stop the charge of his nearly 10,000 cavalry with this barracks?

In his opinion, at this time, no matter how bad the Tiance Army is, it should also arrange a spear formation or a Mo knife formation, but there is none.

However, Yao Shuochuan also found that the soldiers of the Tiance Army in the front row took out a stick that was not long and rushed to the front, only to find that it was bamboo, which made him laugh and lose his big teeth.

"Erlang, kill me and capture King Shou alive."

"Capture King Shou alive!"

"Kill!"

Regarding the shouts of these enemy soldiers to capture him alive, Li Ye was not deaf, so he could naturally hear it. Zhang Wei and Link Ke on the side both looked at Li Ye cautiously, but they saw that the other party's face remained unchanged, and they did not have any worry and fear at all because the enemy cavalry rushed closer.

Li Zhen, Xu Shiren and others next to them were a little uncertain in their hearts, they didn't understand where their Royal Highness depended? Is it just relying on this magic battalion?

This Divine Machine Battalion costs a lot, but it doesn't seem like a force that can fight, does it rely on Tiance Artillery? Stunching cavalry or infantry? Does that work? And the Tiance cannon hasn't been used.

Although Li Ye does not plan to use weapons such as rockets and gunpowder canisters for the time being, it does not mean that he has no way to restrain this cavalry. In normal times, he naturally did not expect this barracks to stop the nearly 10,000 cavalry, but at special times, this weak barracks can not only protect the soldiers, but also become an insurmountable moat for the enemy.

Looking at the approaching enemy cavalry, Li Ye held his sword and looked coldly at everything in front of him.

Behind the barracks, five rows of soldiers stood neatly, a row of three hundred, each holding a group of tubular weapons that resembled muskets. The tubular weapon similar to the musket is actually a musket, of course, there is a big gap with the musket of later generations, and it can only be said that it is the most primitive musket, and even the barrel is not iron or copper, but bamboo.

That's right, it's bamboo, and this weapon is actually a historical assault gun, but here it is called a god machine gun.

The front part of the machine gun is a thick bamboo tube, and the expanded part of the middle part is the powder chamber, and there is a small fire hole on the outer wall; The back section is a hand-held wooden stick. When it is fired, it is held on the ground with a wooden stick, the left hand holds the iron pipe, and the right hand ignites, making a loud noise, and shoots out stones or projectiles, the maximum range of the projectile can reach 150 steps, and the effective range is 50 steps.

Historically, the performance of assault rifles was much worse, mainly due to the limited power of the projectile, and more of a deterrent. However, after Li Ye improved the projectile, the power increased greatly.

In fact, Li Ye just moved his mouth, as for the projectile, it is not gunpowder, but lead bullet.

Lead bullet is no stranger to history, and its power is not described here. Anyway, Li Ye had people try it, and if it hits a living creature within fifty steps, it's called a miserable.

Although Li Ye improved the projectile, the musket itself could not be changed, and the musket made of bamboo would break after a few uses. So Li Ye turned the magic machine gun into a disposable weapon, and each magic machine gun was discarded after two fires.

Therefore, it can be seen that behind these soldiers there is a small wooden box, which is loaded with the so-called magic machine gun.

Although this is different from the real musket, it can be used as a musket in a short time, and Li Ye has seen the scene of 300 people test-firing at the same time. But that's normal training, and I haven't seen how effective it is on the battlefield.

And in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, there is also a sky-shaking thunder prepared next to it, which is also a melee artifact.

Looking at the enemy cavalry that entered the range, Ryuji gave an order, "The first row fires!" ”

The neat barrel was aimed at the onrushing cavalry, and when the fuse burned out, the bamboo barrel suddenly shook, and then a pungent puff of smoke erupted.

"Bang bang bang!"

Dense gunfire rang out at the same time, and before the smoke cleared, the soldiers of the first row quickly retreated, and then the soldiers of the second row, who had already been prepared, immediately came to the first row.

Then as soon as the whistle sounded, the soldiers who turned into the first row also quickly lit the fuse.

For a moment, the battlefield was thumping, and it was this strange sound that affected the pattern of warfare today.

I'm sorry for this today.
