His eyes were heavy, watching the changes in the entire battlefield, and now Ning Yuan was most concerned about his right side, where there was his most trusted Zhang Chu Tieqi. The heavy infantry in the middle is also slowly approaching the camp of the coalition army, where there are 60,000 cavalry of the coalition army, Ning Yuan has reason to believe that his 100,000 heavy infantry, plus the cooperation of 30,000 strong crossbows, it is completely possible to withstand the impact of the opponent's cavalry, now everything depends on the changes on the right side, as long as the heavy cavalry on the right can disrupt the position of the coalition army, the victory of this decisive battle is basically in hand.
It was only a hundred paces away from the coalition army's company car formation, and behind the car formation was a neat 10,000-person march, with spears pointed at each other, and everyone knew that after the first attack, the chances of survival for those infantry standing at the front were very low. There is no way out, and if you want to go back alive, you can only fight to the death.
The rolling torrent of 50,000 heavy cavalry finally began to accelerate, the distance was getting closer and closer, ninety paces, eighty steps, fifty steps, twenty steps, ten steps, the cavalry impact speed was getting faster and faster, and just when it was almost at the apex of speed, the coalition forces moved.
"A salvo of crossbow arrows from the right." Bai Yunqi gave the first order expressionlessly. The flag shook rapidly.
"Boom!" The heavily armored cavalry slammed into the chariot formation, and for a while the sound of the spear penetrating the limbs, and the sound of the cavalry slamming into the chariot array sounded at the same time.
At the same time that Zhang Chu's heavy cavalry reached its maximum speed, and at the same time as the first collision occurred, the 20,000-strong crossbows lined up in four rows began the first round of ground shooting.
A web of death with 5,000 crossbow arrows swooped down on the heavy cavalry. It seems to strangle all life in this web of death.
The terrifying thing about the heavy cavalry is that it is difficult for any other long-range weapon to damage it except for the giant crossbow, and even the strong crossbow unique to the Later Wei Dynasty is difficult to penetrate the thick armor of the heavy cavalry. The only thing that can be used is to shoot at close range of strong slaves, and within twenty steps, Hou Wei's strong crossbow can penetrate the armor. In the past, in order to cover the crossbows, the Wei army could often only use the heavy infantry to form a wall, and use the human wall as a barrier for the crossbow attack, so as to win time for the devastating blows of the crossbowmen, and the direct consequence of such tactics was the heavy losses of the heavy infantry.
The first confrontation between the Later Wei army and Zhang Chu's army was because it failed to effectively kill and injure Zhang Chu's heavy cavalry. led to a fiasco. Now Baiyunqi uses a special ground chain vehicle formation as the first barrier, which has the advantage that the pressure on the heavy infantry has been greatly relieved, and it has also bought more time for the crossbow to be in the effective killing range.
The sound of the strong impact was like thunder, and some of the heavy cavalry rushing to the front were pierced in the head by the spears stretched out from the chariot formation, and some of the war horses were stabbed to death. But the castration did not stop, until it slammed into the chariot formation, and then it came to an abrupt end, and the great inertia slammed the horseback of the knight forward, and what awaited them in front of them were countless raised spears, and their only possible end was to be skewered by the spears.
After the terrifying strong crossbow salvo, five thousand whizzing crossbow arrows nearly a thousand heavy cavalry fell, and after the first echelon of crossbowmen finished firing, they quickly retreated, almost at the same time as the first echelon fired. The second echelon began to advance, another round of shooting, followed by the third. The fourth echelon, and so on.
Seeing the heavy cavalry falling, Ning Yuan's distress can be imagined, but the war is like this, there is no possibility of hesitation. The effect of the car formation was still beyond Ning Yuan's expectations. Due to the role of the car formation, in the past, only one round of strong crossbows was needed to resist heavy cavalry, but today it is necessary to resist two rounds, and 20,000 strong crossbows are fired after two rounds. At least 5,000 heavy cavalry fell, and before they could make a shout, they were trampled into pulp by their companions rolling in from behind. Fortunately, under the impact of the impact, even the chariot formation was also washed away, and the heavy infantry of the Later Wei Dynasty had to directly face the heavy cavalry of Zhang Chu, according to the experience of the previous battle, as long as the heavy cavalry of their own side continued to rush, the formation of the Later Wei infantry would be broken, and the soldiers of the Later Wei did not have the courage to ignore death.
On the left flank, both sides are infantry on this side, this side of the coalition army is mainly composed of the Chinese army, inspired by the war drums, 40,000 heavy infantry launched an active attack on Zhang Chujun, the numerical Zhang Chu army is not in a hurry to attack at this time, they patiently wait for the Chinese army to approach, so as to kill and wound the opponent with a strong crossbow first, and then the opponent's morale drops, immediately launch a counterattack.
Just when Ning Yuan thought that the heavy cavalry had survived the first level of long-range strikes and began to charge interest to his opponent, and Ning Yuan had already turned his gaze to the left flank, an astonishing change occurred on the battlefield on the right flank.
When a large number of heavy cavalry encountered the resistance of the company chariot formation and the Hou Wei heavy infantry team, the distance between them became denser, and the first opportunity that Bai Yunqi was waiting for came.
"Thunderbolt launch." Bai Yunqi gave a second order, and the flag waved again
One hundred and fifty thunderbolts began to fire, and swarthy bombs were dropped in front of them and fell into the dense cavalry formation. "Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Every explosion can overturn a few war horses, and that's not all, the war horses that have never suffered this kind of explosion seem to be a little frightened, and some startled horses appear, and the originally neat stormtroop formation of the heavy cavalry has loosened a little.
The lethality of the Thunderbolt is obviously greater than that of the crossbow arrows, but unfortunately there are not too many of these things in Bai Yunqi's hands, there are only three hundred in total, and only one hundred and fifty are arranged on the right side.
This change on the battlefield made Ning Yuan's mouth open slightly, this sudden change made Ning Yuan feel a little uneasy for the first time, and every time Bai Yunqi fought, Ning Yuan could feel a new change, which was the root of Ning Yuan's uneasiness. Ning Yuan knew that Bai Yunqi had the trump card of the thunderbolt in his hand, but when he didn't see the power of the thunderbolt with his own eyes, Ning Yuan didn't care too much about the thunderbolt, and just regarded it as a clever weapon in his heart.
Encountering continuous attacks from strong crossbows and thunderbolts, the morale of Zhang Chu's heavy cavalry was lost. After losing more than 7,000 cavalry, Zhang Chu's heavy cavalry finally rushed headlong into the infantry of Later Wei, as long as they rushed through the defense line formed by the marching troops, the crossbowmen and thunderbolts could only be the meat under the knives of the heavy cavalry.
Another strange phenomenon appeared, the Hou Wei soldiers who were vulnerable in the eyes of Ning Yuan in the past, but today's performance is very different, 50,000 heavy infantry are like one, let the heavy cavalry attack, no one retreats, the cry that can often be heard in the past, there is no more, all the soldiers silently bear the huge impact of the heavy cavalry, no one retreats.
When the spear is broken, draw the knife and cut the horse's hooves, when the knife is broken, use the body to cover for the companions, and use the fists and teeth if there is no weapon, all the Hou Wei soldiers are like the dying wolf, ready to give the opponent the final blow.
The defense line composed of 50,000 heavy infantry stood still, no matter how Zhang Chu's cavalry attacked, it was always firmly nailed to the front line, although the number of people continued to decrease under the impact of the cavalry, but Zhang Chu's cavalry could not break through the defense line that looked like a stormy storm no matter what.
Behind the heavy infantry, the crossbowmen and thunderbolts fired like crazy, making full use of the advantageous strike position that their comrades had exchanged for their lives, and the follow-up troops of Zhang Chu were shot and killed, and the two armies intersected for less than an hour, and the 50,000 heavy cavalry had already shown fatigue, and the impact force began to decline.
Ning Yuan knew that he couldn't hesitate, to be precise, the first wave of cavalry impact failed, and the heavy cavalry that he had high hopes for failed.
"The front army retreats, and the second echelon is given to me, so I don't believe that I can't rush through." The first echelon began to turn in the sound of gongs and flags, Zhang Chu's cavalry deserved to be a well-trained force, the formation of the chaotic army was still not chaotic, and it made a bend from the right flank of the battlefield and began to retreat, at this time the second echelon of the team had begun to dispatch, and the Wei army faced the most severe test.
Leaving tens of thousands of corpses, the invincible Zhang Chu Tiecai retreated, which was the greatest encouragement for the entire Later Wei army, just a burst of impact, the Later Wei army also paid 20,000 casualties for this, but the opponent was heavy cavalry, such a result was enough to make the soldiers of the Later Wei army proud. Now a new test is coming, all the soldiers are taking advantage of the time when the opponent is retreating to re-array, Bai Yunqi also timely drew 10,000 people from the reserve to replenish the Hou Wei army, there is no movement on both sides of the middle road, Bai Yunqi is waiting, Ning Yuan is not waiting. On the left side of the battlefield, the Chinese army stopped advancing before advancing to a distance of 200 steps from Zhang Chujun's army, and formed a defensive counterpart, and before Zhang Chujun could react to what the Chinese army was going to do, one thunderbolt after another flew out of the Chinese army and accurately landed in Zhang Chujun's phalanx.
"Disaster!" can only be used to describe Zhang Chujun on the left side of the "disaster", the neatly arranged formation in the explosion of soldiers constantly being blown up, a piece of soldiers in the four shots of shrapnel covered the wounds and fell, Zhang Chujun's strict formation was blown out of the gap by the 150 thunderbolts,
The disaster continued, and without an order, all the soldiers did not dare to leave their positions, so they could only stand there and be bombed, but fortunately, Ning Yuan soon discovered this situation and immediately ordered the whole army on the left side to attack, and stood there without moving to be bombed by fools.
Finally succeeded in forcing the troops on both sides of Ningyuan to move, and now Bai Yunqi finally waited for the right time as he saw fit, Zhang Chu's army on the right still had 80,000 cavalry, and he had to break Zhang Chu's front before Zhang Chu's cavalry recovered.
"Serial horses, attack!" Bai Yunqi's third command appeared.
