In this era, there are many scholars who are elegant, but there are also many people who can devote themselves to research and develop sharp weapons for city defense. The Song Kingdom, relying on the strong financial resources in the country, recruited technicians from all over the world, and the Shenji Battalion included the most powerful weapons in the world.

Defeated by Song five years ago, he tried his courage and recruited technicians from all over the world.

In addition to the crossbow bed, this catapult has a longer range and is a more powerful siege weapon, which can throw boulders thousands of miles into enemy walls and cities, causing damage.

In ancient times, it was also known as a cannon, which could throw one or more objects, which could be boulders or gunpowder weapons, or even corpses and filth.

However, at present, in order to eliminate the opponent's cavalry, the trebuchet has a large amount of thistle terrestris, a four-cornered weapon specially designed to deal with cavalry, once the horse is stepped on, it will instantly lose its ability to run, and the person will turn over on his back.

After the three hundred bed crossbows are placed, the huge body is like a towering giant, and it is like the artillery of later generations, which is fierce and magical.

A hundred stone throwers are placed in the back, which is also domineering, and the foot and riding complement each other, and the team continues to move forward.

The black clouds in the north were rolling, the dust and smoke were everywhere, and tens of thousands of cavalry were running wildly, like a torrent roaring.

"Kilometers away, throw the thistle terrestris, within a kilometer, shoot a spear, and Zhao Jun will never be allowed to approach." Glancing at the team, Ike ordered. With a solemn expression, he stared at the swept tiger army.

At the sound of an order, the whole team quickly changed formation, the sword and shield soldiers were in front, the archers were in the center, the phalanx infantry with three-meter spears was behind, and the sword and axe hands with sabers were mixed in the middle, and the two wings were equipped with cavalry, and the forward was the giant-like trebuchet and crossbow bed.

The rumbling sound grew louder and louder, and the whole earth seemed to tremble, and a red tassel appeared in Xing Yike's eyes in the distance. He knew that it was the cavalry, the most powerful cavalry in the entire north, the tiger army that was recited and feared.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! "The Tiger Army appeared, like a whirlwind, with a noisy shout.

On the side of the iron cavalry, the horn was raised, the war drums roared, the shouting of killing continued, the spears in the hands of the infantry waved to the sky, and in the face of a strong enemy, they still dared to fight with momentum, not weaker than the tiger army.

Three thousand meters, two thousand meters, 1,500 meters, as the Tiger Ben army approached, the iron cavalry army that defended the attack took the lead in launching the offensive.

The general who commanded the catapult troops, estimated the distance of the Tiger Ben army, and immediately ordered the internal iron thistle to be thrown in order to block the cavalry charge. "Throw, kill those dogs—."

When the two armies attacked, thousands of thistles, like a splash of water, shot out of the trebuchet and divided into countless in the air, like raindrops, clanging and falling on the ground.

On the plains, the cavalry is like a group of ghosts, coming and going without a trace, not a strong thing, and cannot be stopped. But this thistle terrestris is small, but it is a war marker.

A hundred stone throwers were thrown repeatedly, tens of thousands of thistles, as if the stars were shining in the sun, drawing a perfect arc, falling in the tiger army, the ground sounded a clanging sound, and immediately a war horse suffered, the body was slanted, rolled to the ground, and threw out the cavalry.

The Tiger Ben army that charged in front was tortured by thistles all over the subway, and pieces of cavalry fell, trampled by horses that had no time to stop behind, and for a while, the war horses on the ground neighed, the cavalry screamed, and the scene of blurred flesh and blood was like falling into the hell of Shura.

As we all know, the advantage of cavalry lies in flexibility, mobility, during the charge, if the forward falls, the rear army can not change direction in time, it is easy to trample on each other, thus burying the life of the cavalry.

Fortunately, most of the Tiger Ben army are warriors of a hundred battles, with rich combat experience, and the situation of the forward has changed abruptly, and many cavalry either rein in the horse, or change direction, and the overwhelming iron thistle terrestris cannot stop the knight's determination to charge.

It's just that the tiger army that was lucky enough to avoid the thistle terrestris ushered in not a victory, but a more ferocious spear, the iron thistle injured the horse, and the ballista bed shot out the spear but it was fatal, and the impact was extremely powerful, sometimes it could penetrate two or three people, like a sugar gourd, strung on the spear.

"Put, put, put!" In the face of the Tiger Ben Army that entered the firing range, the generals of the Iron Cavalry Army did not dare to slack off at all, and continued to drink heavily, blushing and having a thick neck, and gasping for breath.

After the trebuchet and the crossbow bed were reoriented, the well-prepared soldier immediately relaxed the winch shaft.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Three hundred crossbow beds shot nine hundred spears at the same time, like a dragon rushing out, and then drawing a graceful arc in the air, scrambling to approach the tiger army.

There was another burst of merciless strangulation, people turned on their backs, and the screams continued.

A spear pierced through the body of the cavalry, soldiers were pierced by spears, 300 crossbow beds, 100 trebuchets, and the tiger army was unable to move an inch, with countless casualties. The sporadic Tiger Ben army was outside the charge, and the ground was covered with corpses.

"Xing Yike, Xing Yike, if you are cowering in Yunzhou City, you can still survive for a day, today you took the initiative to send troops, thinking that with hundreds of crossbow beds, you can block the charge of the Tiger Ben Army?"

In the center of the army, Feng Zixiu had a full view of the battle situation, he did not pity the Tiger Ben Army who died in battle, and still commanded the troops to charge, the Tiger Ben Army was never afraid of life and death, let alone frightened by life and death.

After appreciating the power of the sharp weapon, the charging troops took defense as an attack, spread out like eagle wings, formed a crescent shape, and rushed towards the two wings of the iron cavalry.

Although there were cavalry on standby, the defense was relatively weak. Once it breaks through, it will wrap the Iron Cavalry in dumplings and annihilate them all.

Xing Yike's face was heavy, and he hurriedly waved his flag to signal the infantry to advance, and the crossbow bed and the stone thrower adjusted their direction, and slowly advanced step by step.

The blue clothes are cold and solemn, the red clothes are solemn, and the contrast between the two armies is stark. Xing Yike rode his horse in front, his eyes were close to Feng Zixiu in the Tiger Ben Army, and he couldn't wait to step forward directly and slaughter that crazy guy.

The neighing of horses, the shouts of killing, like a huge wave rolling in, Rao is the criminal Ike who has seen a fierce battle, and he is also shocked by this scene. After all, except for a hundred years ago, when there were a few great wars with a million people, the Northern War has not exceeded 300,000 for decades.

Now, the army of 500,000 people is fighting each other, and every casualty is probably among the thousands, which is really terrifying.

More than 100,000 tigers ran wildly, like a torrent, and the vibration on the ground made people tremble.

"Bed crossbow shooting! Crossbowmen in array! Han Huo brandished his long knife and made a striking gesture, roaring heartbreakingly.

With a roar, the bed crossbows and stone throwers adjusted into place and began to attack, and the crossbowmen were on standby, strangling any cavalry that came close to the phalanx within two hundred meters.

At the same time, among the cavalry on the left and right, more than 10,000 crossbow squads were on standby, and the knife and axe hands appeared in the gap between the infantry phalanx, and the infantry phalanx moved forward rapidly, moving like a blue cloud. "Kill, kill, kill.."

One step at a time, the momentum is violent, the neat rhythm, the neat pace, 100,000 people are like one.

The Tiger Ben army marched quickly, holding a longbow and waving its blades, whistling, like red flames, galloping in the howling cold wind, and the scattered rain of arrows began to approach.

Looking at the roaring and wolf-like tiger army, Xing Yike's thoughts tightened again, he never dared to be careless, especially in the crisis situation where the enemy was outnumbered and the enemy was strong and I was weak, he commanded more wholeheartedly, hoping to turn the situation around in danger.

Among the crossbowmen and siege soldiers, orders were heard one after another. With a swish, the spears like flowing clouds attacked quickly, and the dense impervious arrows shuttled through the air.

In the blink of an eye, it fell on the cavalry, and the huge impact of the spear pierced through the body of the war horse, or regarded the cavalry as a stabbed war horse, raining arrows, until the charging cavalry became like a hedgehog, with no intact place on his body.

Xing Yi Kegui is a general on the same level as Feng Zixiu, and believes that attack is the best defense, even if he is at the end of the road, he should not start his original intention.

Otherwise, under the crisis that Yunzhou City would be flooded, it would have already fled and would not appear on the battlefield.

The wounded and fallen horses, the cavalry who died tragically, once again became obstacles, the charging cavalry had no time to respond, rolled to the ground, just landed, and was trampled by the follow-up cavalry.

In just a few breaths, thousands of horses were scrapped, and soldiers were trampled into mud and kneaded into the dirt that had not completely melted.

Thousands of casualties could not change the situation of the army's charge, under the command of Feng Zixiu, the cavalry still moved forward bravely, but the spread area was larger, and the trebuchets and crossbow beds could no longer be completely covered, preventing the other side from charging.

Xing Yike understood that Feng Zixiu was preparing to use the mobility, flexibility and impact of the cavalry, ready to blossom from all sides and scatter the crossbowmen and siege soldiers.

Once there are no spears and arrows to hinder, the cavalry will rush to kill, it will be much happier, and the infantry phalanx will eventually meet the tiger army and start a decisive battle.

The old Cheng Mouguo Xing Yike is not a fool, the infantry has a natural disadvantage in the face of cavalry, but the infantry phalanx and the ordinary infantry are always different.

The Zheng infantry phalanx originated from the Song State, which could be killed and improved on the battlefield, and had a strong lethality, with three square formations formed by 150,000 soldiers closely arranged, forming a strong wall composed of shields and spears.

In war, the infantry sequence, only the strong metro infantry can compete with it, and it is also extremely lethal to the cavalry, if it is not an elite cavalry, it cannot break through the infantry phalanx.

Moreover, he would never allow the other side a chance to fight a decisive battle until he had strangled a large number of cavalry.

Therefore, after discovering Feng Zixiu's intentions, Xing Yike immediately commanded the infantry phalanx, slowly retreating, while maintaining the formation and order, and the cavalry on both wings to look for fighters.

"General, the Iron Cavalry retreats!"

Hearing this, Feng Zixiu chuckled, as if he didn't take Xing Yike in his eyes, "He is luring the enemy deep and looking for fighters, but unfortunately I am afraid that I will not be able to do so today." ”

Feng Zixiu knew in his heart that the other party was preparing to lure the Tiger Ben Army deeper, and once the Tiger Ben Army could not take care of each other, at that time, it would be the best time for the soldiers and iron cavalry to send troops.

This tactic is good, Zhao used it to break the Xiongnu, wiped out 300,000 cavalry of the Xiongnu in a battle, completely changed the pattern of the two countries, and became a landmark battle for the rise of Zhao.
