Chapter 212: The Great Battle of the Coalition and the Golden Soldiers
Huge crossbow arrows roared past Emperor Tianzuo's head, directly piercing the bodies of the three guards.
Richard was stunned. He forgot about his danger for a moment, and turned to stare at the three strung corpses on the ground!
What kind of weapon is this! How can it be so powerful! The point is, why can you hit so far?
Richard thought as quickly as he jumped off his horse and quickly hid in the guards—wouldn't he be killing himself if he sat so high?
Emperor Tianzuo did the same, and immediately entered his own guard.
This scene made Qin Mu look in a cold sweat, and he couldn't help but want to laugh.
That Western Xia general can hide when he gets into the guards, but how can Emperor Tianzuo hide? On the golden crown on his head, two colorful bird tails were waving in the wind.
Even a blind man can see where he is!
This person, I'm afraid it's not a problem with his head.
However, the arrow just now completely demonstrated the power of the steam crossbow, which made Qin Mu also a little happy. I can still use this thing, and it looks pretty good.
If you don't have a cabinet against the sky, you can bring countless *** and high-tech, just with this steam crossbow, you can also lay down a large area!
But now, this thing can only be collected as a cultural relic.
Yu Liyan saw that Emperor Tianzuo was almost stabbed to death by a steam crossbow, and he was immediately furious. The blood relationship is inseparable, even with such a father, she can't bear to watch him die in front of her.
With a snap of her fingers, she immediately wanted to shoot and smash the powerful steam crossbow.
Qin Mu hurriedly grabbed him. Shots must not be fired now! It's powerful, but it has a fatal problem. Because the caliber of the bullet in this gun is too large, the recoil is unbearable for ordinary people, so it must be equipped with a muzzle brake.
This brake will emit a large amount of pyrotechnic air as the gun is fired, causing a small sandstorm near the muzzle, and the sound is also loud.
At present, there is no large-scale battle on the frontal battlefield at all, and it is only a long-range weapon test, if Yu Liyan shoots at this time, he will definitely expose himself.
Relying on his own people, against more than 10,000 iron-skinned people, he can really only wait for death.
Qin Mu stopped Yu Liyan's actions, ordered her to listen to her command, and then forced herself to forget about the battlefield situation for a while, stared down at the computer screen, and began to study the map intently.
Large-scale warfare in the era of cold weapons is a very challenging field. If the battlefield is not open enough and the terrain is not relatively flat, basically we will not be able to fight a large-scale war, because there will be no way to put so many people.
Even in later generations, when it is the most important time, we must pay attention to the construction of the battlefield, not where the muzzle of the gun is pointed at it.
This place is undoubtedly a qualified battlefield.
It was a rocky mountain, and at the foot of the mountain was a large meadow, and an unknown river seemed to enclose the meadow in the middle.
The coalition and the Jin army faced each other on this grassland. It's still winter, and it's even colder in the northwest, so cold that the grass doesn't even grow. If it weren't for Qin Mu wearing a down jacket from the later generations and wearing the gloves of the later generations, he would have been frozen long ago.
At this time, the winter is really cold and cold. He especially admires the soldiers of this plane now. On such a cold day, you have to put on dozens of pounds of iron sheets and fight in the biting cold wind. Just thinking about it makes people feel uncomfortable.
Zhi Meifeng seemed to see Qin Mu's heart, and immediately handed over the thermos cup.
Qin Mu took it casually and took a sip. The hot tea in his stomach lifted his spirits a lot.
Zhe Kecun nodded slightly to the little sister! Well done! It is necessary to start from every little thing and capture the heart of a man bit by bit!
Qin Mu didn't pay attention to the small movements of Zhe Kecun at all, he pointed to the screen and said to the second son: "General Zhe, if I want to leave these people behind, what do you think should be done?" ”
As he spoke, Qin Mu explained the reason why he did this.
"They are the three largest living forces in the region right now. If we wipe them all out now, we will create extremely favorable conditions for the future seizure of the Lower Loop. ”
I never thought that my brother-in-law would have this idea. I only have about 100 people, and I want to fight more than 10,000? What about dreaming?
He thought that Qin Mu was just secretly hiding here to watch the scenery and see the real battle, but he didn't think that he was going to end up himself!
"It's definitely not going to work." Zhe Kecun hurriedly objected: "Brother-in-law, you are crazy, there are only a hundred of us." If the Guards Regiment is here, you can still try it, but now the Guards Regiment has not yet arrived in Fuzhou! ”
"No, General Zhe, you misunderstood." At this time, Qin Mu was very formally called General Zhekecun, which was a gesture. This is a war, and with the help of the strength of the Zhejia army, then it is not the uncle and son, but the leader of the Zhejia army.
"How?" Zhen Kecun didn't understand what Qin Mu meant.
"Look, General Zhe," Qin Mu pointed to the battlefield in front of him and said, "The Jin Kingdom and the coalition army have begun to move forward in array, this state, you should be more familiar with it than me." ”
Zhe Kecun nodded hurriedly.
He could see clearly through the binoculars that the long-range attack weapons of both sides had been fired for a while. The stones of the Splash Xi Army did not cause much damage to the Jin soldiers, but the steam crossbows of the forbidden army were too powerful, and the coalition forces that could string together a string of arrows were soldiers.
In just ten minutes, no less than dozens of coalition soldiers had fallen under the steam crossbow.
This situation was completely unacceptable to Richard. He immediately issued a second order: "Iron Harrier, charge into battle!" ”
The current situation is both unfavorable and favorable for the coalition forces. The disadvantage is that the Poxi army does not have an advantage, and they do not inflict due damage on the Jin soldiers. On the contrary, the strange weapons on the other side brought a lot of casualties to their side.
But that mysterious weapon was not fired very often. This made it impossible for Jin Bing to play a blocking effect. Obviously, Jin Bing didn't carry enough of that thing. Otherwise, Brother Richard turned his head and ran away, and what else to fight.
Now is an opportunity, since the other party can't stop him, and the dense stone rain of the Poxi army has trapped the Jin soldiers in place, this is the opportunity for his own heavy cavalry.
Although Richard did not understand physics, kinetic energy, potential energy, and momentum impulse, thousands of years of cold weapon warfare have continued to develop and improve, and tactical tactics have become more and more in line with the laws of physics.
Now charge, the fast side has a clear advantage. Galloping horses rushing to fixed targets is the classic combat method of the Iron Harrier.
In fact, not only the Iron Harrier, the Iron Floating Slaughter, and the Leather Room Army, including the Folding Family Army and the Seed Family Army, are all the same tactics.
This tactic is in accordance with the laws of physics, and every normal general will make the cavalry charge. Is it still a cavalry to stand still?
Tactics are fixed, but when to charge, where to rush, and how to create their own opportunities to charge, suppressing the enemy's ability to charge, this is the difference between a famous general and an ordinary general.
Richard is undoubtedly a famous player. He immediately seized the opportunity of the golden soldier being unable to move for the time being, and decisively dispatched the Iron Harrier.
This is the core combat power of Western Xia.
This time he brought with him 1,100 Iron Harriers, a team of 300 people, a team of more than three and a half points.
Three regular Iron Harrier brigades, one team of 300 people, a total of 900 people. There was also a crippled brigade, with only two hundred men and a shortage of one hundred.
The captain of this crippled army is none other than Nori Zhigao. It was he who led his brigade and unluckily met the Zhejia army who came out to grab tobacco, and was killed by Qin Muyin by mistake a hundred iron harriers.
This loss was indeed too great for Western Xia.
In the past wars, the Iron Harrier had never suffered such a loss as an organization. And even if a hundred people died, it was impossible not to even get back the armor.
The Iron Harriers of Western Xia were heavy cavalry, with a small number, only 3,000 people, which were passed down from generation to generation, which was equivalent to family trading. A pair of armor has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has been carefully maintained, so even if a person dies, the armor is still there, and it is getting better and better.
In this way, the combat power of the Iron Harrier is getting stronger and stronger - the enemy can't cut through his armor, so naturally he can only be cut.
But this time, the loss not only killed a hundred people, but also did not even bring back a pair of armor, which made Richard almost cut down Yeli Zhigao on the spot.
After all, the Yeli clan is also a big clan in the past, and the surviving iron harriers patted their chests and swore that they had indeed encountered demons and monsters, and they were not at all able to deal with them.
The Zhejia army only sent an immortal, holding the immortal magic weapon in both hands, and after a rumbling, the person died.
If it weren't for General Noli Zhigao's sober mind and running fast with them, his own people would have died there.
These ghostly words made Richard unable to figure out the truth.
If it is said that Yeli Zhigao is cowardly, then it will not be that these two hundred people are cowardly. If you are cowardly, you will also find a suitable reason, for example, if you encounter the army of the Song Kingdom, there are tens of thousands.
So to the past. No matter how powerful the iron harrier is, three hundred can't beat thousands.
But they said in unison that the Song army only had 300 men, and it was still infantry, so it was not a matter of cowardice.
Three hundred iron harriers against three hundred infantry, no matter how you look at it, they are like cutting melons and vegetables to ravage the opponent. How could you leave behind a hundred of your comrades and flee without even killing a single enemy?
Richard was puzzled. This matter is an unsolved case for the time being.
But there is no hope for Yeli Zhigao's promotion. Not only did he fail to capture Ma Qing's father and daughter, but he also lost a hundred iron harriers. This is the elite of the Western Xia, the treasure of the army. Now a hundred have been lost for some reason, and they can't make up for it.
The armor of the Iron Harrier has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is extremely sophisticated, far from being a substitute for the ordinary armor of the armory.
Moreover, the master Ma Qing, who had the best craftsmanship in the ordnance institute, ran away, and the quality of the armor of Western Xia was even worse than before, so Yeli Zhigao could only take the remaining two hundred people to participate in the battle.
The Iron Harrier also began to charge as always.
Dressed in black armor, even the men and horses were tightly wrapped, and even the face was covered, with only two gaps in the eyes and nostrils.
The horses were connected to each other by iron cables, as if a black iron wall had pressed over them.
The rumbling sound of hooves was transmitted on the winter grassland, and the sound seemed to carry a chill.
The coalition forces behind him began to shout frantically, cheering for their forwards, and at the same time formed an array and moved forward steadily.
At this time, Emperor Tianzuo also waved his hand and sent the heavy cavalry in the leather room army to charge towards the enemy's right flank.
Thousands of horses galloped in the cold grasslands, and the killing intent spread with the cold wind.
Yelu nodded secretly.
Brother Richard of Western Xia really lives up to his reputation. Under such a blow from the steam crossbow, it did not collapse, and seized the opportunity to send the Iron Harrier.
Now that his formation has been suppressed by the Poxi Army, he can't move for the time being, and he has indeed suffered a lot of losses. But this is also an opportunity for Jerod to see.
Can a shield array, which can't even be smashed by a rain of stones, be broken through by a heavy cavalry charge?
Moreover, the stone rain of the Poxi Army is counted, and it can't be fought all the time. It's not that there aren't enough stones, it's that the trebuchet isn't accurate enough. If they keep smashing like this, when the iron harriers rush to the front of the formation, who may be able to stone them.
As soon as the Iron Harrier makes a charge, the trebuchet will soon stop.
Sure enough, when the Iron Harrier rushed to the middle of the battlefield, the Poxi Army stopped its offensive - if it was thrown again, it would probably smash its own people!
Jerod screamed at the right time!
As soon as he gave the order, the Jin army quickly changed formations. Just now they were in a row, and the whole striker became a unit. Now the formation has changed, like a large cloth suddenly cracking, and then quickly merging into a mound of dirt.
In the eyes of the coalition forces, what used to be a flat land in front of them suddenly turned into one dirt bag after another.
The golden soldier made up of human flesh and shields.
Such a formation made it impossible for the Iron Harriers to maintain an intact battle line, and they were like waves meeting reefs one by one, and they had to crash into the reefs. If these reefs are not broken, they cannot move forward.
However, these dirt bags were far tighter than the shield array just now, and the Iron Harrier's knife could often only cut a mark on the shield, but could not open the gap. At the same time, there are spears stabbed out from time to time in the dirt bag.
At this time, the golden soldiers in the back row began to shoot arrows. Arrows rained down from the sky.
Richard saw such a scene in his eyes and was not panicked at all. If the armor of the Iron Harrier can't even block the arrows, it's not the Iron Harrier.
He was not afraid of this rain of arrows, but stared intently at the back of the golden soldiers.
There is the real opponent of the Iron Harrier, the Jin Guo Tie Futu!
It's time.
Yelu Yu watched and blew the horn of the general attack! Fight, boys!
Jin Guotie Futu heard the trumpet and immediately began to charge at full speed.
They knew that this was an opportunity created for them by the infantry. They have to hold on to it!
The high-speed impact of the Iron Harrier was trapped in front of a personal meat bag, and its speed was greatly reduced, and the speed on its side would get faster and faster. In the era of cold weapons, it was on this battlefield that the speed of heavy cavalry represented everything.
Not to mention anything else, it's two fat men of the same 300 pounds, one of them running at high speed and crashing into another stationary target, and the unlucky one must be the one who stands still. Not to mention action and reaction, it's useless.
A flexible person has a force on the opponent's neck, and his wrist is also subjected to a reaction force, but can the result be the same?
Hit the neck, and the neck will break, and the man will die. And his wrist was just sore for a while.
The impact of the Iron Float continued to increase, and the moment their speed reached its peak, they met the Iron Harrier and the Leather Room Army.
The brutal cold weapon war began.
Such a scene made Qin Mu almost vomit when he saw it. It's bloody.
When he himself led the Guards Regiment to fight Liangshan, the enemy who was bombed by mortars flew all over the sky, and he was not so uncomfortable, why did he feel nauseous and want to vomit today?
Qin Mu hurriedly calmed himself down. After thinking about it for a moment, he quickly understood.
I came from the 21st century, and I have watched countless war movies, and those are basically *** displays, and I have long been familiar with them.
And he really hadn't seen the bloody cold weapon, but when he saw it today, he suddenly couldn't stand it.
However, this scene seems to be commonplace. No matter how many people wield knives to chop, it was just cutting meat, and he had long been used to it.
Looking at the face of his brother-in-law Tie Qing, he was a little relieved. Finally, you are not as good as me.
"Brother-in-law, are you alright?" Zhe Meifeng immediately handed over the hot water again.
"It's fine." Qin Mu took a sip of the water cup, adjusted his mood, and said to Zhe Kecun: "General Zhe, can you complete this task?" ”
"Brother-in-law, don't worry, if I can't do this little thing, then I'm ashamed to fold my surname! You wait for me to have good news. ”
As he spoke, he picked up his men and horses, and quickly went down the mountain to carry out the task.
For this brother-in-law's plan, he applauded. This person, I thought he was soft-hearted, how did he know that the real brother-in-law was such a ruthless person!
