Chapter 171: Adding fuel to the fire, the chariot is broken

Facing the bridge that had been erected on the opposite side of the river, the cavalry on the opposite side had already begun to rush over. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Zhou Yu saw the warship that was still a little loose along the bridge, and shouted to cut the iron cable. It's a pity that the iron rope was cast by Liu Xuewu using a hundred forged steel, and ordinary swords can't be cut at all. For a while, the swords and axes of the soldiers were constantly chopping, but they could only leave a few shallow marks on the iron cable, the iron cable was not broken, but the knife and axe were damaged a lot. Seeing that it would never work like this, the cavalry on the opposite side was about to rush over.

Zhou Yu just glanced at the torch in the hand of the soldier next to him out of the corner of his eye, and he had an idea and shouted to burn the ship with fire. But it was foggy, the deck of the ship was wet, and the fire couldn't be lit at all. Zhou Yu shouted a little angrily, and Lu Su, who had been keeping calm next to him, spoke: "Why doesn't the Metropolitan Governor add fuel to the fire?" ā€

This sentence woke up the dreamer with a word, and Zhou Yu hurriedly asked people to bring fire oil and splash it on the warship, but as soon as the torch was thrown, it ignited at one point.

"My lord, the enemy set the ship on fire with fire oil and ignited a fire in front, what should we do?" A cavalry general of 1,000 people hurriedly ran to Liu Xuewu to report the problem in front of him.

"When the oil is finally exhausted, you don't hear that the fog is thick today, and the planks of the ship are already wet. What is there to fear from a small fire! Come, bring me the bag of soil ash that I have prepared earlier, let the cavalry take the lead in the charge, throw the soil ash to extinguish the fire at the place of the fire, and cooperate with the army to cross the river. Liu Xuewu said with a smile with a calm expression that had already taken measures.

With Liu Xuewu and the Dinghai God Needle, the soldiers under his command are also full of confidence. The war drums along the coast of Jingzhou were all over the sky, the soldiers were full of energy, and the leading cavalry was not afraid of life and death, and rushed to the opposite shore over the bow of the ship first. The cavalry behind also did the same, and under the leadership of their respective centurions, their morale was high, shouting that they wanted to exchange Zhou Yu's head for the first merit.

On the Jiangdong side, Zhou Yu knew that it was a foregone conclusion that the army on the other side would rush over, and the reason why he still had actions such as setting fire to oil was mainly to buy time for the current deployment of troops and the arrangement of response strategies. As early as the iron cable, Zhou Yu repeatedly lost the opportunity, and now the other party has erected a pontoon bridge on the rolling Yangtze River, which is even more incredible. In the end, Liu Xuewu's cavalry rushed over and crossed the Yangtze River, but he was not surprised at all. Because if it were him, he would choose to do it, or even do it better than all this. It's a pity that Jiangdong has no horses, and it can't organize such a large-scale cavalry at all. However, he Zhou Yu would never be able to do this kind of thing by attacking his own strengths, so over the years, they have been studying how to fight against the northern cavalry. After so many years and a lot of effort, I finally developed a restraint method.

Seeing that the cavalry on the opposite side had already rushed over from the bridge, Zhou Yu waved the command flag in his hand, and a row of wheelbarrows with strange shapes, but very unified and juxtaposed, pushed towards the counterattack of the war horse cavalry that rushed over.

This strange chariot developed according to the principle of the wheelbarrow is the ultimate weapon against cavalry secretly developed by Koto. The chariot was two feet three feet high and two feet eight feet wide; The front section of the chariot is pierced by three serrated steel teeth side by side, parallel to the ground, the highest is about seven feet above the ground, and the lowest is three feet. The upper end of the chariot is juxtaposed with sharp spearheads, which can prevent the cavalry who has lost their horses from crossing the chariot and attacking the soldiers behind the chariot. And there are ten people behind each chariot to push together, even if the opposite side is a horsepower collision, it still will not hurt the people pushing the cart behind.

A total of 300 such wheelbarrows were built in Koto, and now there are only 100 of them. But as soon as this kind of big killer comes out, with the battle formation that has been skillful in contact in advance, it can almost be compared to Liu Xuewu's bulldozer in his previous life.

This is not when Liu Xuewu's side was still cheering for the cavalry to cross the Yangtze River and land on the other side, but he didn't know that the cavalry who went to kill the past first was now encountering a huge crisis. This thousand-person general is the one who reported the fire battle to Liu Xuewu not long ago, and now he led dozens of cavalry to rush to the opposite bank first, originally wanting to grab the first credit. But because of his own recklessness, he is deeply involved in today's crisis. Looking at the dozens of cavalry charging past, they were bumped into by strange chariots that appeared out of nowhere in front of them. Screams rang out. At a glance, the cavalry was smashed into a blur of flesh and blood. Others jumped off their horses in a hurry, only to be pierced by spears protruding from the chariots.

This sudden unexpected situation made these cavalrymen who were originally rushing over and full of fighting spirit couldn't help but subconsciously take a few steps back. However, those chariots ignored these at all, and slowly blocked the gap in the bridgehead of the bridge according to the formation. You must know how strong the cavalry's war horse gallops, and the temporary brakes are not controlled at all, and even directly throw the soldiers on the horse out, which is extremely dangerous. But the scene in front of me is no longer so much to care about, whether it is dead or alive can only be hard-headed.

He laughed at the sight of the first blade swinging his blade at the chariot, chopping off a piece of sawdust. Although the spear on the chariot still pierced his ****, it aroused the anger and fighting intent of the follow-up cavalry. "Kill"

The follow-up cavalry waved the machetes in their hands, and at the moment when the war horse hit the chariot, they slashed the opposite chariot with both hands, and jumped back off their horses with the help of the reaction of force. When the first one succeeds, the first vehicle is bad. At the cost of the sacrifice of nearly 100 heroic cavalry soldiers, he finally broke through the encirclement of this damned chariot array. Next, the crazy cavalrymen, waving the blades in their hands, galloped on the road of revenge.

When had those Jiangdong foot soldiers seen such a ferocious cavalry rushing and killing, they were quickly disrupted in formation, and the remaining dozens of chariots could not play a key role in front of this too large number of cavalry, but were broken one by one. It can be said that the current Bingzhou Iron Cavalry has begun to fall to Liu Xuewu from the landing in the early morning to the battle in the evening.

With the continuous landing of the subsequent cavalry, the garrisons along the Jiangdong coast were broken one by one, and all the means prepared by Zhou Yu and others in advance were overwhelmed by this numerical advantage. In addition, the soldiers of Jiangdong had never fought with such a large-scale cavalry, and lost their innate advantage, Zhou Yu saw that the chariot array was broken, and there was nothing that could be saved under his hands, so he reluctantly ordered to evacuate the Jiangdong wharf and return to the city to defend it.
