Chapter 503: Mo Dao Array
Shi Lei and the others were urging their horses to speed up, and at the same time they took out their crossbows and shot at the enemy army behind. The cavalry behind the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info is chasing Shi Lei, and it is a bit of an initiative to meet Shi Lei's arrows, the speed of the arrows is faster for the enemy, and the flight distance is shorter.
And the arrows they shot were the opposite, and it was not easy for them to catch up with Shi Lei. They were even more annoyed to see their colleagues fall from time to time, while the enemy was running gracefully in front of them. Therefore, tens of thousands of troops are still behind, scolding angrily and chasing after them, which is a bit like they will not give up if they don't kill Shi Lei.
Coming to a hill in front, Shi Lei and Xue's brothers were all divided in half, opened in a fan at the top of the mountain, sent a rain of arrows to the rear army, and after holding up a lot of enemies, on the way down the mountain, they were also completely divided into two sides, and bypassed from both sides of the original downhill road.
But the enemy troops behind obviously didn't know Shi Lei's intentions in doing this. Seeing that the distance between them and Shi Lei had decreased, they thought that after a period of fighting, Shi Lei's war horse physical strength would not be able to keep up first. Seeing the hope of besieging and killing the enemy, these Tuyuhun cavalry even increased their horsepower and galloped down.
And then there was a long time of people flipping on their backs. If you listen carefully, you can still hear the sound of "click, click" from time to time, which is the sound of those unlucky cavalrymen flying out, and their spines or simply broken necks.
If you fly out at this speed, you will fall to death, not to mention that if you fold it like this again, you will die directly. The cavalrymen who couldn't stop the car behind were still speeding up vigorously, and they didn't understand what the comrades in front of them had gone through, so they naturally turned into rolling gourds and spread all over the ground.
At this time, when I looked at the grass halfway up the mountain, in fact, a lot of tough tripwires made of special silk threads were placed early, and the color of these silk threads was too inconspicuous, and they could not be found if you didn't look closely at close.
And placed in this position, it is simply a lack of morality and smoke, and there is no way to stop on the slope of the mountain, and these cavalrymen who are speeding up their lives will naturally hit the street gorgeously.
And Shi Lei must have known the location of this deadly trap belt for a long time, so they chose to bypass it early, and by the way, they also pitted the army behind them.
The previous archery was more to hook up with the enemy soldiers behind, for fear that they would chase slowly and pounce badly enough, but their provocation was really effective, and those short-tempered Tuyuhun warriors would basically become trapeze, and then one guy would be killed.
It wasn't until the cavalry in front of them, relying on the carcasses of men and horses, covered the whole area and covered those strong tripwires, and the enemy troops behind were aware of the existence of the trap, so that they would not continue to stage the good show of horses stumbling.
But now they hate Shi Lei even more, even if they have seen the military formation of the Tang Dynasty, they will not delay their determination to kill Shi Lei's gang. Anyway, the Tang army was originally going to be hacked to death, but now it has just become a frontal decisive battle, and it seems that it is still more advantageous to use tens of thousands of cavalry to deal with tens of thousands of infantry.
Just relying on the speed advantage of the downhill, the horse speed has increased a lot, at this time, simply rushed straight to the enemy's own formation, and killed the Chinese army of the Tang Dynasty.
Under the shouts of the famous kings of various departments, in the process of galloping, the Tuyuhun cavalry re-formed a formation that was not rigorous, and rushed towards the Tang army formation.
Obviously, they still underestimated the preparation of the Tang Army, what Shi Lei once took out was not just such a thing as a tripping horse, in front of the seemingly vast Tang Army, in fact, there were also many small objects specially prepared for them.
For example, there is always an iron thistle with one side facing up, and with something similar to the Luoyang shovel, a large area of dense small horse traps is made, and if the war horse accidentally steps into it, it is indispensable to end up with broken bones and tendons, and the cavalry on the back must also be unlucky.
In another back-to-back flip, the speed of the Tuyuhun cavalry had to be lowered, and then they were greeted by arrows from the Tang army's foot soldiers in patches like dark clouds.
All the soldiers of the Tang Army basically have a good archery skill, especially under this overwhelming covering shooting, the advantages of the Tang Dynasty in bow-making technology have been fully brought into play, and the range is much stronger than that of the Tuyuhun cavalry, which can almost only shoot at close range.
Finally, under the huge casualties and the continuous rain of arrows, they approached the Tang army formation, thinking that they could finally start killing, but what greeted them was Rulin's gun array.
The multi-meter-long spear was firmly held in the hands of those strong Guanzhong men, and the back was pressed against the ground, and it was placed at the most appropriate angle to give the opponent a head-on blow.
Although the Tang Army has not yet been able to achieve the cavalry of the whole army, they have always attached importance to the cultivation of war horses, and it is not a big problem to ensure that all the soldiers are riding horses to the battlefield.
In particular, these heavy infantry, after they have assembled here, put on their armor slowly, and only raise their spears when the enemy is near, so that they can wait for the enemy to come and go, so that they can easily enter and exit their spears, and open a few more transparent holes for them.
The enemy's sparse bow and arrows, even if they could be shot at their body, were almost impossible to inflict effective damage in front of their well-protected armor.
And they are all veterans, and they can basically do not change their faces in front of the bow and arrows, and concentrate on repeating countless times, which has become an instinctive assassination action of the body, and they are all going to the enemy's vital point.
Although there were inevitably many casualties in the spear camp because of the strong impact of the cavalry, the seemingly invincible torrent of the Tuyuhun cavalry was still blocked alive and fell into the quagmire of positional warfare.
Seeing that the enemy's momentum was no longer good, and the casualties of the spearmen had reached a certain limit, Li Jing decisively ordered that it was time to dispatch the real top elite among the Tang Dynasty infantry soldiers and break through the famous Mo Dao soldiers for the Tang Army.
These strong men in Guanzhong, who have been selected for thousands of years, have stronger bodies than ordinary heavy infantry, and they are like steel cast iron, which one of them is taken out, even if it is put in the hinterland of the Central Plains, others will praise a good man.
If it weren't for such a body, they wouldn't be able to afford them, and even the weight of the equipment including the weapon was not less than fifty pounds, not to mention like them, waving the Mo knife while entering like a wall, ordinary people would be tired when they stood there.
This Mo knife is seven feet long, and there are eight or nine feet long, mainly because the governments themselves are responsible for casting, so the shape made in Shanghai is slightly different, the cost of this thing is too high, and it is borne by the central government, so I am afraid that I can't bear it.
In addition, it also has to adapt to the use of soldiers of different heights, and it cannot be completely unified. But the blade length is still relatively uniform, generally three feet, and the weight is at least fifteen Tang catties, an absolute heavy weapon.
This thing is not simply holding a thorn, but like any other heavy weapon, it needs to be operated by waist force. Some of the Mo knife soldiers will be turned into a rotating knife wheel, which is definitely a complete battlefield meat grinder. As long as it is swept by the sword, it will definitely end up being shattered, and it can be called invincible.
Even their own foot soldiers have to make room for them in a hurry, so as not to be rubbed, this is the real wound when they are next to each other, and they will die if they touch it, a real battlefield weapon.
As soon as the Modao array came out, it was basically the final stage, or the Tang army was encircled and needed to die; Either the Tang army wants to expand the results of the battle and give the opponent the strongest blow, obviously now that the Tang army has the upper hand, the Mo Dao soldiers simply came out to harvest the enemy's life.
On the other side, Shi Lei and they circled around, and also joined the cavalry team in their own formation, ready to attack at any time to give the enemy the final blow. Or simply look at the opportunity, do the good job of chasing and killing, and go out to grab people's heads and grab military merits.
