Chapter 1448: Crushing

The Jurchens dispatched the heavy cavalry of the Iron Floating Tu, their big killer at the bottom of the box. Before, the Iron Float had lost a few hundred horses, but a few days ago, 1,500 Iron Float cavalry had arrived at the barracks of the army, and now the Iron Float had as many as 4,000 horsemen.

The situation in front of him is naturally the best time for the Iron Floating Massacre to be dispatched. The opposing crossbowmen are in array, and their own army will surely suffer heavy losses if they want to break through their defenses, but with the Iron Float massacre, everything will not be difficult in the slightest.

The four thousand iron floating slaughterhouses were lined up in a neat phalanx separated by several zhang, and the war horses advanced rapidly with neat steps. Although it was not as imposing as it was when it charged rapidly, it was just trotting close to the enemy formation, but the whole cavalry had a breathtaking aura of slaughter. A long iron spear stood in the air, like a forest of spikes. The horse's hooves stomped heavily on the ground, splashing large patches of mud and snow mist with every step, and the ground seemed to tremble faintly with every step. The whole cavalry was like a steel chariot, pushing forward in defiance of all obstacles. In less than a hundred paces in front of the opponent's formation, it was already within the attack range of the opponent's crossbow.

Although I don't know what kind of goods this monster soldier and horse that came out of nowhere, the other party has arrived in front of the battle, and the arrow has to be fired. At this moment, Yuan Zhenqian didn't think much about it, and gave the order to attack in a deep voice.

The flag waved, and 20,000 crossbowmen shot their crossbowboxes into the air in an instant. At that moment, with the click of dense machine springs and the humming sound of crossbow arrows, hundreds of thousands of crossbow arrows formed a black mist in the air between the two armies within a few breaths, enveloping all the four thousand Iron Floating Cavalry with a sharp whistling sound.

The next moment, ping-pong jingling, puff, puff, sneering, a dense sound sounded, countless crossbow arrows hit the heavy armor of Tiefutu, like raindrops hitting lotus leaves, and the crossbow arrows splashed everywhere like water droplets, flying everywhere in the air, chaotic. More crossbow arrows were shot at the ground, and a meadow of crossbow arrows instantly grew on the muddy and snowy ground.

Under normal circumstances, such a dense rain of arrows is enough to directly empty four thousand ordinary cavalry, and those who can survive such a dense rain of arrows are definitely the lucky ones favored by God. However, in the face of 4,000 Iron Floating Cavalry, these powerful crossbows, which can take countless lives, are as powerless as water guns in the hands of children. The rain of arrows fell, the fog dissipated, and only a few dozen of the four thousand Iron Floating Cavalry fell in the storm, and it still happened that a crossbow arrow hit the eyehole on the horseman's mask, and more than a dozen war horses were shot by flying crossbow arrows because the horse's hips were not armoured. But such a small loss is not much different from being unscathed. The entire Iron Floating Cavalry did not move, the formation was not chaotic at all, and it still advanced forward with heavy and steady steps, not even slowing down by half a minute.

Yuan Zhenqian and his 20,000 crossbow cavalry were stunned, a round of crossbow arrows down, how could they shoot over most of the enemy, but the opponent's entire army of soldiers and horses did not move, and the crossbow arrows seemed to be shot on the rock iron plate, which had no effect at all

, the other party can be said to be unscathed.

Yuan Zhenqian finally realized the seriousness of the problem, this was a heavy armored cavalry who was not afraid of crossbow arrows, and it was unbelievable that the Jurchens actually had such a large number of heavy armored iron horses. At that moment, Yuan Zhenqian seemed to realize something, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the head of Bianliang City, where the figures on the city wall were shaking and waving flags. On a high platform of the castle tower, a tall umbrella stood there, and someone below pointed and seemed to be watching the battle. There is no sign of sending troops in the entire capital, and the war has been going on for almost an hour now, which can only mean one thing, Lu Zhongtian did not plan to send troops at all, and he was fooled by him.

"Old thief, it's really vicious, if I, Yuan Zhenqian, can get out of my body today, I will be inseparable from you." Yuan Zhenqian scolded angrily in his heart, hating the roots of his teeth.

Although he already knew that the crossbow arrows were not lethal to the opponent, the second round of crossbow arrows was still overwhelmingly fired. As a result, there was no suspense, and dozens of Iron Floating Cavalry fell, and the damage was only a drop in the bucket. At this moment, the Iron Floating Cavalry had reached a distance of nearly thirty paces. At this distance, there is no need for the crossbowman to change the barrel and shoot another round, in that case, when the opponent rushes in front of him, he will not even have time to draw his blade and adjust the formation to face the battle. Besides, crossbow arrows are useless, so why bother doing useless work.

"Prepare for battle!" Yuan Zhenqian let out an earth-shattering roar, and with a bang, the long knife was unsheathed. He held on to the last hope, after all, he had 20,000 cavalry, and the other side only rushed a few thousand heavy cavalry, or he could fight.

In the middle of the Tiefutu cavalry, Li Guoqiu, the commander of the Tiefutu cavalry on a red high-headed horse wearing heavy armor, raised the spear in his hand and gave an order in a dull voice from his mask.

"Pick up your gun, charge, crush them!"

All the Iron Float cavalry lowered their spears in unison, pointing diagonally forward. The eight-foot-long iron spear was heavy, and its tail was pressed against the iron buckle around the waist of the cavalry, which was intended to counteract the force of the impact. The entire Iron Floating Cavalry was like a steel chariot, rushing into the opponent's formation.

Since the formation of the Iron Floating Massacre, this is the first time to rush into the enemy formation in the form of a group charge, and it was a little fight before, and it was completely impossible to exert the power of the Iron Floating Slaughter Heavy Cavalry, but at this moment, the power of the Iron Floating Slaughter Iron Legion has really been brought into play.

What a terrifying crushing force, the cavalry of the Northwest Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which was several times more numerous, was not heroic, and they rushed forward and slashed and stabbed at the Tiefutu cavalry with long knives and spears. But all this seems to be in vain, as useless as a mayfly shaking a tree. The thick iron armor ignored the attacks of the swords and guns, and the spears of the Iron Butug cavalry inflicted fatal penetration on the armor of the Northwest Army, and with the help of the impact of the horses, the spears dismounted all the cavalry in front of them, and pierced their chests. The Iron Float cavalry rolled forward, on the road after its trampling and ramming, staying

A trace of crimson flesh underneath.

Like a hammer bombarding the papier-mâché doors and windows, the formation of the 20,000 Great Zhou Northwest Army was broken with a single blow. The torrent of rigid iron rushed into the formation, trampling and crushing mercilessly, and the one who was invincible was like a bamboo.

Yuan Zhenqian's eyes were torn apart, and he shouted loudly for the soldiers to resist the onslaught of the Iron Floating Massacre, but it was all in vain. The more cavalry that stood in front of them, the more the Iron Butlar cavalry would kill. They didn't do much harm to them, and some of the cavalry didn't want to jump into the saddle of the opponent's saddle with their lives, and a few people forced the Tiefutu cavalry to get off their horses, but it was only that, and the other party was just thrown and couldn't get up, but it couldn't hurt them in the slightest. And they themselves were quickly nailed to the ground with spears, and they couldn't make any further moves.

Some cavalrymen came up with a way to attack the horse's legs, and they saw that the armor of the opponent's horse only reached the top of the shinbone, and perhaps they could block the opponent by cutting off the horse's legs. This idea was good, but they did not have the equipment of hook and sickle spears for infantry to attack horse legs, let alone practice the body and battle formation of cavalry horse legs, and they could not even rush into the opponent's formation, so they were pierced through by the spear head. Only a handful of them were able to succeed, and less than fifty or sixty Iron Floating Cavalry were attacked by them and fell to the ground with a bang. But they paid ten times as much as their opponents died, and the gains outweighed the losses. However, this gave the soldiers a way to attack their opponents.

"General Yuan, I can't stand it, I can't stand it. Let's get out of the way. They are slow to catch up with us, and we can quickly get out of the field. A general of the Northwest Army suggested loudly to Yuan Zhenqian.

Yuan Zhenqian roared angrily: "No, this retreat will be defeated." Desperately resist, even if it is ten for one, all these cavalry must be blocked here. Once the battlefield in the west is won, the victory will be ours. ”

"But......" The general still needs to be persuaded.

"Shut up for me, and then talk about military law." Yuan Zhenqian interrupted him with a roar. Yuan Zhenqian knew that he could not lose this battle, and if he was defeated, there would be no way back. Lu Zhongtian deceived himself into sending troops, his own troops were actually self-made actions, if he won, it would be fine, if he was defeated, he would fall to the ground. And even if you retreat, where can you go? The gate of the capital is closed, Lu Zhongtian sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight, he will only be chased and killed by the Jurchens everywhere, and the army will still be unable to escape the fate of annihilation, so what is the difference between fighting to the death? In public and private, he can't back down.

However, Yuan Zhenqian's persistence missed the last opportunity. In the rear, nearly 60,000 Jurchen cavalry had already divided into two routes and began to outflank them from both sides. This is exactly the classic 'kidnapping horse' tactic of the Jurchens. In conjunction with the frontal assault of Tiefutu, the abductor horse broke through from both flanks to complete the outflanking. If Yuan Zhenqian had made a quick decision to leave the battlefield earlier, there would still be a glimmer of life, and when the kidnapping horse completed the action of charging on both wings, some would have been a foregone conclusion.
