Chapter 121: The Battle of the High Cup! (above) 1/3
Before the king comes, the war will start, and what they have to do is to fight a beautiful victory before the king comes!
Time passed slowly, 70,000 Wei troops were highly nervous, welcoming the arrival of the Yue army of the Gonghou State, this battle of Wei and Yue, attracted the attention of countless countries, among which Chu and Qi, Lu were the most concerned, Qi hoped that Yue would defeat Wei and nip the threat in the bud, Chu hoped that Wei would defeat Yue, and then vigorously support, as the main force of the future war to contain the Yue Qi army, Lu hoped that Yue would destroy Wei, gain and subdue the lost land, and regain lost face.
On the 30th day of November in the 12th year of Zhengyun, the weather was gloomy today, and the dark clouds were thick, and several shining thunderbolts swam in the dark clouds.
The weather sets off today's war!
Twenty miles away from Gaobei County, in an open field, thousands of steps away from the Wei army's barracks, 100,000 Vietnamese troops stood there densely, although the Vietnamese army array was not very neat, but it was not very chaotic, and the momentum was not weak, but in the face of the Wei army's orderly and neat military columns, the momentum of the Vietnamese army was gone.
"It's just a sub-male country, and the army has reached such a scale!"
Meng Mi, who was at the forefront of the Vietnamese army, couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the 70,000 Wei troops in front of him, feeling that the scale of the Wei army had reached the level of the Earldom, and as for whether there was the strength of the Earldom, he had to pay it back to know.
"Ladies and gentlemen, how do you think this battle will be fought?" Meng Mi asked the general next to him with a smile.
When all the generals heard this, they all showed contempt and disdain, and did not take the 70,000 Wei troops in their eyes at all.
"The Wei army is weak, there are no chariots, just fight!" One of the generals smirked dismissively.
Chariots are the main combat force of this era, if one side has chariots and one side does not have chariots, then this war will have no suspense!
"General, the front row of the Wei army is a foot soldier, and it can't stop our chariot at all, I believe that as soon as our chariot is dispatched, it can easily crush the Wei army's formation, and kill them and defeat them!" The corner of the adjutant Min Tao's mouth curled and smiled.
"Zitao, you are the best at chariot charging formation, you will lead two thousand chariots to break the Wei army formation, martial arts, after the chariot is killed, you lead the cavalry to follow, as long as the Wei army formation is scattered, kill it, and the rest of the troops will not move, protect the left and right wings and the rear army!" Meng Mi ordered decisively.
"No!" All the generals responded in unison.
The chariot is indeed powerful, in addition to the chariots on the frontal battlefield can compete with each other, the rest of the troops can't help the chariot at all, but the disadvantage of the chariot is also very big, that is, the mobility is too poor, you can't make a sharp turn, and even a slightly larger bend can't turn, otherwise the chariot behind can't brake at all, and it will hit it directly..
Therefore, it is necessary to leave soldiers and horses to protect the left and right wings, so as not to be attacked by the enemy left and right, although Meng Mi and many other generals despise Wei very much, but in terms of tactics, they still can't despise it.
At the command, the Vietnamese army began to change its formation, 2,000 chariots and 8,000 chariots and soldiers quickly entered the state, and 20,000 Vietnamese cavalry were also ready to go.
"Brush!" With a bang, the blade was unsheathed, Meng Mi pointed at Wei Jun, and shouted: "Kill!" ”
"Kill!!"
A killing sound, like a fuse, two thousand chariots quickly killed out, followed by 20,000 Yue cavalry, 2,000 chariots, 20,000 Yue cavalry huge formation, which made people fearful.
"Haha, I'm afraid that the Wei army will be wiped out directly in this battle!" Meng Mi chuckled.
"Yes, 2,000 chariots and 20,000 iron cavalry are enough to wipe out 70,000 Wei troops!" One of the generals also chimed in.
At this time, Min Tao, riding on the chariot, looked at Wei Jun proudly, looked at it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but wipe an arc, showing a cruel smile, he seemed to see that Wei Jun would become a pitiful corpse under his chariot!
At the same time, in the front line of the Wei army, Gongsun Xin rode a war horse, squinting his eyes like a torch at the chariot that was rushing, when he felt the huge momentum and magnificence brought by the chariot, he thought to himself, Wei must also have a chariot!
"Baili, get ready, as long as the Vietnamese army's chariot is in danger, shoot Ben to death!" Gongsun Xin shouted with a hideous expression.
"No!" Bailihong responded with a fierce and cruel face.
"Kill !!"
"Boom!!"
With the passage of time, the sound of the chariots and cavalry of the Vietnamese army became louder and louder, which made countless Wei soldiers raise their throats, and they couldn't help but clench their weapons hard, and they were very nervous, especially the recruits, who were even more cold sweating and breathing in a hurry.
700 steps..... Six hundred steps...... 500 steps...... Four hundred steps....
"Crossbowmen! Put!! ”
Bailihong burst into applause!
"Whew!" Dozens of crossbowmen flags shook in unison and issued orders!
12,000 crossbowmen were ordered, and immediately aimed at the Yue chariot 400 steps away and pulled the crossbow machine!
"Whew! Shout! Shout! Shout! "One after another, powerful crossbow arrows slashed across the sky, and ten thousand arrows shot into the chariots of the Vietnamese army!
"Ugh! Canthus! Belch! ”
"Uhh
"Boom!"
"Ahh
Screams and wails sounded instantly, a wave of crossbow arrows went down, nearly seven or eight hundred chariot soldiers were shot off the chariot, and they were also run over by the chariots behind, they were not shot to death, they were also crushed to death, and a large number of war horses were killed by crossbow arrows, which directly overturned one chariot after another!
A rain of arrows caused the Vietnamese army to lose more than 200 chariots, and indirectly caused the loss of nearly 1,000 chariots!
Meng Mi was taken aback, and scolded with an ugly face: "Damn, the Wei army actually has a ten-stone strong crossbow, and the scale is not small!" ”
Ten stone strong crossbow, the strongest long-range weapon, most countries have, but many can not afford to use it, because crossbows, especially strong crossbows, are easily damaged, basically shoot dozens of arrows, it will be scrapped, the reason for this is because when the crossbow shoots the arrow, the thrust generated by the crossbow, ninety percent is pushed on the arrow, one percent is absorbed by the crossbow machine, over time, the force is too much, it will break directly, just like the durability in general.
This is due to the material of the crossbow, if the crossbow is made of bronze, this problem will not occur, but who uses it specially, even a strong crossbow of ordinary materials cannot be used, let alone a bronze crossbow.
It is precisely because the crossbow is easy to be damaged, and the cost is high, and the manufacturing is complicated, many countries are unwilling to use it, such as Lu and Feng, etc.
The Wei army had a large number of crossbowmen, which exceeded Meng Mi's expectations, and the chariots were also afraid of crossbowmen, especially the huge crossbowmen!
"Crossbowmen! Put it again!! ”
Bailihong burst into cheers again!
"Whew! Shout! Shout! Shout! ”
Tens of thousands of crossbow arrows made a sound of breaking through the air, and then shot into the chariots of the Vietnamese army, once again overturning more than 200 chariots!
"Crossbowmen! Put it again!! ”
"Crossbowmen! Put it again!! ”
Bailihong let out bursting cheers one after another, and his voice was hoarse.
