At the same time as the Qiang retreated on a large scale, the frequency of thunderbolt projections on the church's side also began to decrease significantly

The reason why the offensive slowed down was not that Luan Yi felt compassion for those poor Qiang people, but that after continuous throwing, the main levers of many thunderbolts broke one after another, and the sappers needed to be replaced, and the replacement time required at least a stick of incense

Seeing that the great opportunity was wasted due to the replacement of parts, Zhuge Liang was in a hurry to turn around, so he had to report the situation on the side of the engineer brigade to Luan Yi, tell him that the thunderbolt array was about to suspend the bombardment, and asked Luan Yi to arrange the next combat plan

After receiving the message from the soldiers, Luan Yi took the telescope from his own soldiers, looked at the Qiang army a hundred steps away, and looked at the Qiang army array, which was chaotic in a table of mahjong, and the Qiang people with shocked faces, Luan Yi knew that the time was almost up, "Where are the tiger and leopard riders, the white horse followers, and the Templars?"

The so-called tiger and leopard cavalry, white horse righteous servants, and Templar knights are the three elite cavalry groups of the Notre Dame Cult Among them, the tiger and leopard cavalry originally belonged to Cao Cao, and its personnel composition was mainly Danyang people, that is, the legendary Danyang warriors, each Jiao Yong was good at fighting Later, after the battle of Luan Yi and Cao Cao, the tiger and leopard cavalry joined the church Under the leadership of Luan Yi, it was expanded several times, and now there are 12,000 cavalry

As for the white horse Yicong, it was the elite under Gongsun Chan in the past, and the army was all good at riding and archery, and was named after riding a white horse, and later Gongsun Chan was defeated, and the white horse Yicong was incorporated by Yuan Shao, and then Luan Yi won a complete victory in the first battle of Hebei, and he also left the number of the white horse Yicong with 5,000 white horse Yicong as the team, and finally raised 3,000 white war horses, making up 8,000 equipped with chain mail, forming a light cavalry elite

Needless to say, the Templars were the first cavalry of the Church, which grew from 2,000 men over the years to 12,000 men, and 12,000 cavalrymen, all dressed in bright armor and carrying heavy lances, were the only heavy cavalry in the Church

Now Xiahou Yuan, Zhang He, and Zhao Yun are respectively the chief generals of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the White Horse Yicong and the Templar Army.

"The main attack of the Templars, the tiger and leopard cavalry flanks and detours, and the white horse follows and responds"

"......" Xiahou Yuan, Zhang He, and Zhao Yun hugged their fists and left, each returning to his own formation The rumbling drum then sounded The church army, which had been quiet since the start of the war, suddenly became lively

Under the guidance of the servants of God, the sound of a subdued prayer sounded in the military formation, accompanied by a "Ah...... Heavenly Gate" The eyes of the tiger and leopard cavalry, the white horse and the 30,000 cavalry of the Templars shone with a strong light

"For the glory of the Virgin" Xiahou Yuan, Zhang He, and Zhao Yun raised their guns and shouted "Click", "Tiger and leopard riders, white horses, and Templars put down their armor in unison, "Kill, kill, kill, kill ......"

"The light of holiness shines on the earth, punishes evil, and the Templars charge into battle," Zhao Yun pulled the reins in his hand, raised his waist bow, sat down on the war horse, and stood up with his feet off the ground, and kicked his front legs continuously, sighing and screaming, it was really powerful

"Holy light, shining on the earth, punishing evil, exalting the solips, Templar killing, killing, killing," the Templar Pegasus came into battle

12,000 Dawan horses purchased from Dawan by Luan Yihua The big money each horse was wearing 30 catties of chain armor, plus the 80 catties of Mingguang armor on the knight's body, as well as the 40 catties of lance and four five-pound hand melons The equipment alone weighed 170 catties plus the weight of the war horses and the cavalry themselves The total weight is more than 500 catties It is definitely the most powerful heavy cavalry today The hooves of the horses nailed to the iron palms rumbled, trampling the earth rumbling, and the dust was flying, and the ten thousand soldiers and horses burst out with a momentum far exceeding 100,000 people

Of course, the Templars had their own drawbacks, as their heavy equipment greatly reduced their impact and was much less fast than the light cavalry, but don't forget that the Church army was at the top of the slope at the top of the slope

The advantage of the Templar slope Swooping down from the slope was much faster than the flat ground, and the silver armor torrent was like a wave under the silver moon, rolling and rolling waves to kill the Qiang army

Fifty steps away from the Qiang soldiers, Zhao Yun's spear was raised high and "exploded"

Twelve thousand Templars put their lances in front of them and placed them on their horses' necks and thighs, then plucked a melon from behind them, and pulled out from their left waist the lighter that the armory had just been equipped with......

That's right, it's a lighter

Since the advent of gunpowder, flint and fire folds, these old ignition props are obviously difficult to cope with the difficult battlefield conditions in the future, so the search for more portable and durable ignition equipment has been put on the research and development agenda of the ordnance manufacturing institute In this regard, the first thing he thought of was matches, after all, the structure of matches is the simplest, and the mixed materials of red phosphorus and glass powder at the end of matches are also easy to mix, but when matches were developed, Luan Yi found that matches can be used for civilian use It is more convenient to light a fire and make a dry, but it is subject to too many constraints on the battlefield Wind and rain greatly affect his efficiency in igniting fires, and in the ever-changing battlefield, even a minute of delay can cost the lives of thousands of people

In order to further refine the details of the ignition, Luan Yi thought hard for a long time and had an epiphany when he happened to see the alcohol lamp in the study

And so within a few days, the Church of Our Lady with a military lighter came out

Speaking of the specific structure of the Notre Dame lighter, it is similar to the principle of the special lighter of the US military in later generations, the main body is made of metal shell, and the metal compartment below is filled with velvet impregnated with alcohol, and the flint is directly above the alcohol compartment, and the flint is ignited by rubbing the flint by hand, and with the help of alcohol combustion, so as to ensure that the flame burns for a long time, so that the fire engine created is not only windproof and waterproof, but also simple in structure, low in technical content, and easy to manufacture

As soon as this equipment was manufactured, mass production began immediately, and the first batch of 30,000 firearms was given priority to the sappers of the Holy Religion states, and the Templars, as the elite troops of the Central Army of the Holy Religion, were also rationed with 3,000 units

The presence of lighters made it easy for the cavalry to light the fuse during the high-speed attack, and the three thousand people in the front row pushed open the caps of the lighters in a uniform manner, and made a series of crisp "crackling" sounds, just like thousands of pianos emitting a crisp sound, and the "poof" fuse was lit, and they carried the net that bound the gourd at the same time, and held it high above the top of their heads

With Zhao Yun's "throw", three thousand hand melons took off at the same time

This throwing gourd is actually not very technical, as long as it falls in the crowd of enemy soldiers, it can be killed, there is almost no requirement for accuracy, and the only difficulty is not to throw it into your own formation, kill your own people

The Templars were trained for a long time, so naturally they would not make such a low-level mistake, and the handmelons they recognized were accurate and very accurate, and they were all located in the places where the Qiang people gathered the most

The Qiang soldiers had not yet recovered from the bombardment of the thunderbolts, and they had just taken a breather from the efforts of replacing the main pole with the thunderbolts, but they saw the handmelons falling all over them

"Boom, boom......, boom, boom" explosions came and went, and the earth, which had been stripped of a layer of turf, was blown out by the handmelon, and the deep pits were blown up, splashing the sky with dirt and dust

The dust and mist diluted with the wind, gradually fading and fading again, revealing the Han ironclad cavalry and the Templars

What kind of army is this?

Seeing the Templars armed to the teeth, the Qiang people were stunned and stupid

If the sheer power of the handmelon shocked and frightened them, the moment they saw the Templars, they were in utter despair

They originally thought that the Han people would only use small tricks, real swords and real guns, and they would not be the opponents of the Qiang warriors, but the guys in front of them were wearing ...... They didn't even know where to cut to hurt these Han people

And that's when the Han people came to kill, and death followed

……

"For the glory of the Virgin," the mighty Templars, led by Zhao Yun, rushed into the Qiang army like a flock

Originally, there were less than 90,000 Qiang people, and after several rounds of hand-melon bombardment, more than 30,000 people were killed and wounded, but there were still more than 60,000 people

In the face of 12,000 Templars, 60,000 Qiang people were powerless to resist, and they were killed like dogs

At the same time, Xiahou Yuan led the tiger and leopard cavalry to roar through the flank, smoothly detouring back to the rear of the Qiang people, echoing the Templars from afar, and achieving an east-west flank attack

White Horse is to check and fill in the gaps and respond from the side

As a result, a scene shocked the Qiang king, Beigong Boyu, appeared: More than 30,000 Han cavalry actually surrounded more than 60,000 Qiang people, slowly dividing and encroaching

"This group of waste" Beigong Boyu was furious, "ordered Wuwu, Zhong Cun, Gong Tang, and Freeze, and Fu Nan to go out and eat all those Han people for me"

The five leaders of Wuwu, Zhong Cun, Gong Tang, and Fu Nan were up and down in their hearts They are afraid They all saw the battle just now The grievances of this battle First of all, I didn't touch the shadow of the Han people I was blown up by a bunch of thunder and dirty faces I finally touched people...... The thick armor of the Han people can't be cut

How can this battle be fought?

However, they were afraid of the Han people, and they were even more afraid of Beigong Boyu, and the Han people would not be able to kill more of their clansmen and slaves, and lose some "private property" and offend Beigong Boyu, and Beigong Boyu would kill them in the next second, and lose his own life

They know better than anyone who is more important than anyone else So after listening to Beigong Boyu's military order, they could only harden their heads and go out of battle

The horn of the bull roared loudly, and Wuwu, Zhong Cun, Gong Tang, and Fu Yan rushed out with a scream and rushed straight to Bai Ma Yi from the rear

This scene reacted to Luan Yi's eyes through the telescope, and the whole network reacted to Luan Yi He smiled and said to Guo Jia behind him: "As Feng Xiao said, this Beigong Boyu is really conceited, and he can pass on my military order The trapping army, the Shentong army, and the Shenpan army immediately went out of the battle and ordered Ma Teng and the Xiliang army to follow and coordinate."
