Chapter 950: Shooting Tanks
Hundreds of tanks lined up horizontally, almost blocking the path of Cao Wei's cavalry.
At such a short distance, Cao Wei's cavalry couldn't stop the car at all, and crashed into the body of the tank one after another, and was shattered.
The cavalry behind also did not fall under the brakes, and they crashed into the cavalry in front one after another. , Cao Wei's cavalry suddenly turned on their backs and became a mess.
In fact, there is still a distance of two or three meters between the tanks.
However, this distance is a bit small, and it is difficult to pass smoothly at high speeds.
Of course, there were also some lucky cavalrymen who adjusted their direction in time and got through this gap.
But what awaited them was the frantic strafing of soldiers from the four firing positions on the tank.
They would never allow a soldier to pass through this side.
Gradually, these gaps were blocked by Cao Wei's war horses and the corpses of soldiers.
In this way, these corpses formed a natural barrier, perfectly separating the Cao Wei cavalry from the Dahua cavalry.
At this time, the Dahua cavalry below stopped advancing and raised their guns to aim and strafe.
The Cao Wei cavalry on the opposite side were shot and fell off their horses.
The cavalry is very mobile, and once it finds that the situation is not right, it can quickly evacuate, so that the opponent cannot pursue.
And the place that Zhang Liao chose was conducive to charging, and the maneuverability was too poor.
On the high slope, the terrain is relatively narrow, and at most it can accommodate more than 100 war horses in unison.
Well, in fact, the terrain that can accommodate more than 100 war horses can be considered too narrow.
But in the case of the Dahua tank blocking the road, it becomes impossible for them to avoid it.
The insane speed of the impact made it difficult for them to stop in a short period of time.
Therefore, the terrain here that was originally very favorable to Cao Wei was perfectly used by Dahua.
Through a barrier, he shot wildly at Cao Wei's cavalry.
And Cao Wei's cavalry couldn't break Dahua's steel defense line at all, so they could only be beaten passively.
Well, its Cao Wei cavalry can also attack from a distance, and they also have bows and arrows.
But because they were caught off guard by Dahua, countless cavalrymen had already been shot and fell to the ground before they could pick up their bows and arrows.
More people, in a panic, couldn't think of fighting back at all.
Zhang Liao, the commander of Cao Wei's cavalry, although he was at the front, but at the moment when his horse rushed to the tank, Zhang Liao jumped off his horse in time and was not seriously injured.
And in the chaos of the battle, he was not injured.
The main reason was that he was standing on the ground, and the target of Dahua's attack was mainly on the Cao Wei soldiers on the horse, which allowed him to escape.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Liao quickly grabbed an ownerless war horse, and then led the remaining cavalry to turn around and flee to the top of the slope.
Shooting at Dahua in this kind of terrain is simply attacking Dahua's strengths with their own shortcomings, and they will die a miserable death.
Zhang Liao very decisively led the remaining cavalry, turned around and rushed up the high slope to escape quickly.
In this battle, they lost six or seven thousand cavalry.
Well, on the opposite side, no one died, and I'm afraid there were only a few dozen wounded.
In the face of the fleeing Cao Wei cavalry, Lu Bu did not mean to let them go.
The cavalry is very mobile, and if they are left unchecked and allowed to constantly harass and trouble, it is also a potential threat to Dahua's people.
Therefore, Lu Bu ordered the soldiers to quickly clean up the war horses and the corpses of those Cao Wei soldiers.
Then he ordered Tank Ying to quickly dispatch and pursue him in the rear.
As for the rest of the cavalry, Lü Bu ordered them to keep the infantry safe in the rear.
In the ensuing pursuit, it was difficult for the cavalry to keep up with the speed of the tanks, so they could not fight together.
In that case, let the tank battalion act alone, and let the Cao Wei cavalry see the true power of the tank.
After receiving the order, Lu Lu Sheng was excited.
This was the first chase battle of their tank battalion, and in this battle, they not only had to win, but also won beautifully.
Lü Sheng boarded the first tank, commanded in front, and chased in the direction of Cao Wei's cavalry fleeing.
Zhang Liao didn't expect Dahua's cavalry to chase them at all, because in Zhang Liao's consciousness, everyone is cavalry, and there is little difference in speed, and the number of our cavalry is more than twice as many as yours, why do you dare to chase us?
But what he pursued this time was not Dahua's cavalry, but their new weapons.
Although the number is not large, only 100 vehicles.
But the speed of this new weapon is too fast, right?
Zhang Liao found that the situation was not good, and led the cavalry to prepare to quickly get rid of them.
The speed of the war horse is the fastest, but even this speed is a little slower than Dahua's new weapon.
And the speed of this kind of sprint is difficult to maintain for a long time, but in a quarter of an hour, the speed of Cao Wei's cavalry gradually slowed down.
The speed of Dahua's new weapons has always remained the same, and the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer.
Gradually, a hundred tanks were already about to catch up with the tail of Cao Wei's cavalry.
Then, the firing soldiers in the four firing positions above the tank did not be polite to the Cao Wei cavalry.
When they came within range, they raised their rifles and fired a shot.
The Cao Wei cavalry on the opposite side fell off their horses one after another.
In this scene, watching Zhang Liao rush to the crown angrily, his eyes were about to split.
It has always been him Zhang Liao who bullied others, when did he get bullied so badly? Zhang Liao felt that he couldn't stand this grievance!
Don't you just have a hundred chariots? Isn't it just a little faster? What's the big deal!
Since you dare to chase after you, then don't go, let's stay!
Zhang Liao commanded the rest of the cavalry, one moving sideways, the other making a U-turn, and surrounded a hundred tanks.
Then Zhang Liao took the lead in shooting at 100 tanks with a bow and arrow.
Tens of thousands of cavalrymen shot together with bows and arrows, and the arrows in the sky were like rain.
Zhang Liao looked at the 100 tanks with a sneer, wasn't it very good just now? Now look at how good you guys are!
As a result, a scene that shocked Zhang Liao infinitely appeared.
The arrows in the sky fell on the bodies of a hundred tanks, making a clanging noise, and all of them hit the ground.
Not a single arrow could cause serious damage to the tank, let alone penetrate the tank, and even if one of the arrows could go into the tank, not a single one.
Looking at the body of the tank, the spots and potholes shot by the bow and arrow looked very miserable, but they were all small injuries on the surface, and there were no fatal injuries.
