Chapter 287: Cavalry VS Infantry, Who Kills Whom?
Because he persevered to the end, for the honor of the soldiers, Lin Chong stepped forward from behind and gave him a chance to survive. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Phew!" Fang Dang Changwu responded with contempt.
"The Fangdang family is not afraid of death! Have the courage to come and fight me alone! ”
Faced with the challenge, Lin Chong laughed, "Want to go head-to-head with me? He waved at Yang Zhi, "Kill him!" ”
Yang Zhi led the troops for the first time, and his exploits can also be upgraded to one level. So Yang Zhi crossed out and threw the spear in his hand with all his might.
Fang Dang Changwu felt that his back was torn apart violently, and a sharp pain instantly filled his whole body, and then numbness, and his whole body stiffened.
He lowered his head and saw the bright tip of the spear on his chest, blood trickling down the tip of the spear. There was already a small pool of blood under him, red and red, like the blood of a cow sacrificed to the sky yesterday.
"Am I being used by them to worship the heavens?"
He thought wildly, feeling that it was getting darker and darker, his body was very tired, his eyes couldn't be opened, sleepiness hit, let's sleep, and then go to fight after waking up from a dream.
Yang Zhi swept past Fang Dang Changwu's side, the long knife swung over, and the huge head flew up.
The guards behind him rushed up to pick up the head, holding aloft the "Enemy Chieftain Bestows the Head!" Annihilate the enemy! ”
"Roar! The enemy chief gives the head and annihilates the enemy army! Thousands of people roared hoarsely.
Many soldiers could not believe that they had won the victory, hugged their heads and cried, and many of their comrades fell, but they finally withstood the attack of the 4,000 party capture army and proved themselves with blood.
Annihilated Fang Dangchangwu's cavalry, the next step was to cooperate with the Seed Master Dao and Lu Zhishen to annihilate the Bubazi cavalry, and the soldiers were very fast. Lin Chong left Pei Xuan, An Daoquan and others to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded, and the rest of the people immediately regrouped and prepared to set off.
On the other side, 6,000 party cavalry swept in from the sky, and the Song army infantry who rescued Changxing City, under the leadership of Seed Master Dao and Lu Zhishen, quickly built fortifications with a small mountain bag as the core.
Under the guidance of the engineer battalion under the responsibility of Lu Qing, the multi-level crossfire attack defensive positions were completed before the arrival of the party troops.
The three trenches that surround the mountain bag are mostly half a man high, the countless bowl-sized traps in front of the position, the rejection of horses and tripping ropes in the flat places, the five-door catapults on the top of the hillside, and the twelve ballistae that lock the four main attack directions.
The trenches were lined with pikemen, sword and shield men, and crossbowmen, and Yang Keshi's only 300 heavy cavalry was placed on top of the mountain bag, ready to deal with the enemy troops who broke through the defensive circle.
The old man looked at the position armed to the teeth, and couldn't help but be a little afraid, fortunately, the mountain army was a friendly army, if he attacked by himself, he didn't know what would happen to him.
"These are all arranged by Lord Lin to teach you to do this?" He didn't quite believe that such a vicious and ruthless defensive position was actually made up by Lin Chong.
Lu Qing scratched his head, "Yes, he said that this can consciously lead the enemy to the killing range of the ballista, thereby causing more damage, and the soldiers in the trench can shoot head-on or in reverse, greatly improving the defense efficiency." ”
Lu Zhishen added, "As long as the pikemen suddenly put up their spears when the enemy's impact accelerates, those cavalry will hit the tip of the spear by themselves, and then killed by the sword and shield soldiers, at least more than 30% of the enemy can be annihilated." ”
Rindosa, the leader of the party's infantry and the Bazi, led a large group of cavalry to find the Song army's defensive position, which in his opinion would collapse under the attack of his cavalry.
As soon as he entered the range of 2,000 steps, he was bombarded by a catapult on the top of the slope, and the queue that had just been assembled could still stand being bombarded like this?
Rindosa could only issue an attack order in advance, sending five thousand-man teams to attack, and two thousand-man teams circled around the mountain to avoid being bombarded by trebuchets.
Entering the range of a thousand steps, the ballista that had been specially transformed by Lu Qing began to show its might, and it could fire five ballistas in a fan shape at a time, which was extremely destructive.
A thousand paces can run through three people, and a distance of 500 steps can pass through a horse. So after each crossbow gun was fired, it left a bloody path.
Each time the twelve ballistas were fired, the height was adjusted to match the optimal angle of fire. Such a round of launches, so that the heart of Rindosa in the back is broken, this is simply a massacre!
An improved version of the trebuchet with a ballista makes it a death zone between 300 and 2,000 paces. At least nearly a thousand cavalry fell, and only then was they able to give way to the cavalry to rush into three hundred steps, and the catapult temporarily stopped attacking because there was no way to lower the firing range.
The cessation of the loud roar of the trebuchet gave the trekkers a moment of relief, but soon they became more panicked.
The distance between the three trenches was thirty paces, and the archers who operated the bows and crossbows began to throw arrows, and the forty-five-degree angle made the arrows more penetrating when they fell, and nearly 10,000 archers threw them together, even if there was a probability of five percent, it was a very good killing rate.
Before the foot soldiers rushed to the first line of trenches, the defenders fired three rounds, inflicting more than 1,000 casualties.
As the footmen were about to rush through the trenches and cut off the heads of the foot soldiers with their swords, rows of spears suddenly rose up in the trenches, like long thorns.
The horses had no time to react, and the horses did not have time to turn, and slammed straight into the tip of the spear.
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
The spear piercing array, which had been running through three trenches, had also suffered the precise fire of the Song shooters in the trenches, and the remaining cavalry scattered in five directions totaled less than two thousand.
Rindosa was dumbfounded, this was not a position, it was completely a huge flesh trap.
How could this be?
The 5,000 cavalry lost 3,000 in less than two quarters of an hour, and if they couldn't defeat the Song army today and couldn't take the position, they would definitely be beheaded by Wei Minglan after they returned.
He decided to make a desperate bet and pressed the two thousand cavalry in the circle, but they all lost anyway, so he simply played a big game.
In fact, the cavalry who rushed through the trench was miserable, and Yang Keshi on the top pressed down with a heavy cavalry of Bai Ji, and the shooter who shrank in the trench shamelessly released cold arrows, and due to the dispersion of the formation, there was no way to form an effective impact.
Hearing the clarion call for the party army to continue the attack behind them, and knowing that there were still two thousand cavalry coming up, they barely strengthened their will.
However, it is a pity that this bit of their will is gone in front of the heavy cavalry that Yang Keshi is proud of.
Three hundred against two thousand, Yang Keshi is completely victorious!
The infantry were not cavalry in the first place, so they were armed with infantry swords and bows and arrows, which could not be used on horses at all.
The white knights are heavily armoured, invulnerable, and condescending, like thunder, and they beat the steppers at once.
