Chapter 115 - Throwing guns

After Zhao Fan received Qiao Xinchao's information, he killed him from Shaanzhou City as soon as possible.

In addition to leaving Zhao Wei and 5,000 soldiers in Shaanzhou City, the rest of the soldiers Zhao Fan brought back, just in case, Zhao Fan also gathered all the Tuntian soldiers who were working in Tuntian, among which there were some strong men who participated in the work in Tuntian, and they were uniformly equipped with cavalry, anyway, there were many horses in Shaanzhou City, so there was no need to worry about this problem at all.

Although the combat effectiveness of those Tuntian soldiers is not very good, they still have no problem in fighting a favorable battle and making up the numbers.

The cavalry force of nearly 50,000 people swept towards the enemy under the city like a dark cloud, and the elite of the Shouwang army, as the vanguard team, was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and it was like a sharp steel knife in an instant, cutting the enemy troops on the battlefield into countless small pieces.

"Lie-Shield, Hurry Lie-Shield!" Tian Yuanhua looked at the attacking cavalry troops with some horror and roared wildly.

At Tian Yuanhua's urging, groups of soldiers of the Great Qi Army raised their giant shields one after another, hoping to use the giant shield to block the enemy's impact, and one by one the spears stretched out from the gaps in the shields, revealing a large piece of cold and shining spear heads.

"Prepare to throw a gun!"

Zhao Fan looked at the shield wall in front of him, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he shouted coldly.

When the charging Shouwang soldiers received the order, they immediately took off a short gun from their backs, the short gun was about an arm's length, and the wooden body of the gun was matched with the iron head, and there was a heavy feeling when they started it.

The spear head is a special tridiamond-shaped, and when it carries enough weight, it has a powerful armor-piercing ability, and when thrown in a parabola, it can shatter any wooden shield of any current standard.

The most important thing is that it can be recycled after use, and it can be used again after a little repair.

This short spear was specially made by Zhao Fan in order to improve the impact power of the cavalry, and the purpose was to be able to quickly break through and reduce casualties in the face of the enemy's shield wall.

This is also after the battle for the city gate in Shaanzhou, Zhao Fan summed up the experience of the battle and deliberately made it up.

Each Shouwang army soldier carries three short guns, the reason why it is three, is mainly to consider the problem of weight, this small throwing gun, each of which weighs more than ten catties, if it is carried too much, it will affect the cavalry mobility.

"Throw!"

With Zhao Fan's cold drink, the soldiers of the Shouwang Army threw out the throwing guns in their hands one after another.

Thousands of throwing spears flew out of the Shouwang Army's cavalry array, frantically falling towards the shield array of the Great Qi Army, and the moment the trichester-shaped spear head touched the wooden shield, the originally solid and thick wooden shield was instantly penetrated, and it was directly inserted into the body of the sword and shield hand behind the shield.

For a while, the shield array, which was still solid just now, instantly turned into a mess, completely losing its original defensive function.

"Kill!"

In the face of such a large-scale cavalry charge, any struggle of the infantry of the Great Qi Army was in vain, and without the protection of the shield array, they did not have time to reorganize the formation, and they were crushed by the cavalry of the Shouwang Army.

The cavalry of the Shouwang army rushed over, the speed was very fast, many of the infantry of the Great Qi Army just came into contact with the cavalry, they were knocked out, trampled into meat by the horses' hooves, and those who were lucky not to be knocked away were also taken away by the blades in the hands of the cavalry.

The infantry of the Great Qi Army wanted to kill the soldiers of the Shouwang Army on the horse, but it was extremely difficult, and no one had the courage to do so.

When a large group of warhorses move towards you at high speed, the souls are scared away, let alone counterattacked.

Secondly, even if you kill one of the cavalrymen in front, what about the ones behind? You will die, will you do it again? So the fear of the infantry against the cavalry was enormous, especially if the defense was lost.

"Quick, let the cavalry stop them!"

Qin Zongheng saw that the infantry under Luoyang City was made dumplings by the enemy, and knew that only cavalry could fight against cavalry, so he hurriedly sent his cavalry troops up.

"Dashuai, no! The enemy's forces are strong, and we should avoid them for the time being. The ram cart on the side wanted to attack the 60,000 cavalry of King Shou's army with 40,000 cavalry, and hurriedly stopped him.

"Marshal, the enemy army in front of you is at least fifty or sixty thousand, it's not that the soldiers are afraid of war, but the difference in strength is too big!"

Qin Zongheng hesitated for a moment, and now he retreated like this, quite a feeling of being a tiger, especially seeing that Luoyang City was about to be taken down, but it was completely lost, he Qin Zongheng was really unwilling.

After spending so much time and energy, losing tens of thousands of soldiers and dozens of siege vehicles and wells, and even his confidant Wei Zhongyong was folded here, but he still didn't take a small Luoyang City, how would the small forces around him think of Daqi?

"What nonsense are you talking about, don't talk nonsense here, disturb the morale of the army, cavalry troops, press me up!"

In the end, Qin Zongheng weighed the gains and losses, but gritted his teeth, and did not accept the suggestion of the ram cart, the battle of Luoyang was already ready to fly, and he had to send it, no matter what, he couldn't easily admit defeat.

The ram cart looked at Qin Zongheng with a resolute face, and seemed to suddenly understand something, and did not continue to persuade anything.

Now that the Great Qi army has been frustrated everywhere, the Huainan battlefield has been fought for more than half a year, and there has been no result, and the battle with Zhu Quanzhong has not gained the upper hand, and now it has been attacked by the little bastard Shouwang, which is even more annoying.

The entire Great Qi army needs a hearty victory to boost morale, to appease people's hearts, to deter Xiaoxiao, if it continues to lose like this, I am afraid that something will be bad.

The 40,000 soldiers of the Great Qi Army who had not yet had time to go to the battlefield turned on their horses and launched an attack on the army of the Shouwang Army.

Compared with their miserable comrades-in-arms, they were much luckier, at least they still had a chance to get on their horses, and the soldiers who got off their horses under the city were even more miserable, and they didn't even have a chance to get on their horses, so they were trampled into meat by the cavalry of King Shou's army.

For a while, the entire battlefield was turbulent, and nearly 100,000 cavalry moved at high speed under Luoyang City, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and they were about to collide together.

"All of them! Ready to throw guns! ”

Ma Jianying rushed to the front first, took out a throwing gun, and shouted loudly.

"All of them, ready to throw guns!"

Orders were constantly conveyed backwards, and soon reached the ears of every soldier.

"Throw!"

In an instant, countless throwing spears flew out of the military formation of the Shouwang Army again, and the soldiers who had already finished throwing the guns were split into two halves from the middle, no longer charging at the enemy, but exposing the soldiers of the Shouwang Army behind them.

"Throw!"

Another round of throwing guns flew out, and the soldiers who threw the guns continued to bypass from both sides, no longer continuing to charge forward, but following the previous group of soldiers, running towards Luoyang City.
