432 Shoot arrows
Compared with the new name of "Holy Han Empire", the Xianlingqiang people are more curious about what Luan Yi refers to by "the new war of the Shengyuan Era".
It's a pity that at this time, he has been dragged to the rear army by the two big men of Dian Wei and Hercules, and he has no time to ask in detail. But he secretly slandered in his heart, what difference could it be? Aren't they all real knives and guns!
As it turns out, it is indeed different.
Seeing off the leader of Xian Lingqiang, Luan Yi glanced back at his own military formation, all the troops and horses had already taken place, the continuous military flags were scorching under the cold wind on the grassland, and the sound of tens of thousands of military flags was intertwined, like a tsunami.
The congregational guards lined up in a neat line, dressed in silver armor, glowing white in the sunlight. The shields, spears, and knives in their hands became holy in the white light, and on the sharp blades, the cold raged in the light, and the light showed that they had come thousands of miles to the Qiang Dao for the glory of the Virgin; For the prosperity of the country; For the rise and fall of the nation.
Because of their mission and faith, the 200,000 defenders of the Church are in high spirits, and their eyes are full of warlike will.
Comparatively speaking, the Qiang people in front of them looked a little confused. They take the tribe as a group and form their own military formations, which are quite Zhou Zheng from a single point of view, but when several groups are connected together, they seem to be a little chaotic......
Seeing this scene, Luan Yi smiled disdainfully. That's right, the Qiang people have the advantage of the Qiang people - all the people of the grassland people are soldiers, as long as the men who can afford to carry swords and guns can go to the battlefield.
But...... The Han army also had the advantage of the Han army. At present, 110,000 of the 200,000 people in this church army are professional soldiers, who do not need to engage in production or worry about life on weekdays, and their living expenses are distributed by the state. This gave them ample time to engage in military training, thus cultivating an extraordinary military quality. Its combat power is definitely stronger than that of the Qiang people, and it is not a problem to fight with one enemy and two enemies in individual combat.
Facing the enemy in a section, the advantage is higher due to the tacit understanding between each other.
Making this decision, Luan Yi's confidence was greatly increased. Legs clamped the lower abdomen of the sand dunes, rushed out of the military formation, and the lotus sledgehammer pointed at Beigong Boyu under the banner of the Qiang Chinese Army, "Bold Beigong Boyu, privately harboring my Heavenly Dynasty rebellious Han Sui, according to the law of the Han Dynasty, harboring traitors and rebellion are the same crimes." committed such a evil thing, and did not quickly get off the horse and confess the guilt. ”
Beigong Boyu studied art under the Han people since he was a child, and can speak fluent Chinese. "Confession? Haha......" he looked up to the sky and roared, "This is Qiang Dao, not your big man." If you want me to confess your guilt, first ask these sons and daughters under me if they agree. ”
"Erlang?" Luan Yi snorted coldly, "Those things under your command can also be regarded as sons?" At most, it's the color of some milk babies. ”
Beigong Boyu heard that the so-called milk baby's goods in Luan Yi's mouth referred to women. When he was angry, "Luan Ziqi, Hugh has the advantage of his tongue." If you have the ability, we will see the real chapter on the battlefield. ”
"I'm afraid you won't make it!" Luan Yi actually knew for a long time that it was impossible for Beigong Boyu to disarm and surrender, and the reason why he still had to say so many things was to find a high-sounding reason for this expedition - you Beigong Boyu harbored the rebellion of my big man, which was a rebellious move. On the other hand, it was to provoke Beigong Boyu and make him take the initiative to attack the church army.
Obviously, his purpose was achieved.
Beigong Boyu heard Luan Yi scolding them for being Qiang women, and immediately prepared to give the order to blow the trumpet to attack.
When Han Sui saw this posture, he was scared. "Brother Beigong...... Brother Beigong ......" shouted twice, seeing that Beigong Boyu ignored him, he was in a hurry, jumped off the war horse in three steps and two steps to Beigong Boyu, looked up at Beigong Boyu who was sitting on the horse, hugged Beigong Boyu's thigh and shouted, "Your Majesty King Qiang, you must not take the initiative to attack." There was a sharp weapon in the army of the Great Han called gunpowder. It, it can explode! ”
"Explosion?" Beigong Boyu suddenly felt that this word was very familiar, and he heard someone say it. Oh yes...... Old bitter winter. The guy had told him about it, saying it was like a lightning bolt that could explode in a crowd.
Beigong Boyu smiled coldly, and thunder and lightning ...... Explosion, simply impossible. Lao Kudong believed that these estimates were deceived by the Han people, and Han Sui said so...... I'm afraid that he was guilty of ** disease, and he was scared when he saw the army of the Han Dynasty, and wanted to use the lie of the explosion to make me afraid and passively conservative.
Thinking of this, Beigong Boyu pretended to show a confident look, and said to Han Sui: "The explosion that Wen Yue said! I already knew, don't worry! Even if it's the main attack, I have a way to restrain him. Wen Yue just needs to wait for the good news of the victory. ”
"But ......" But how did Han Sui think about it, how did he think that Beigong Boyu didn't understand what an explosion was at all, and was about to persuade him further, but at this moment he heard the horn of the Qiang people launching a general attack.
"Uh......h Woo woo ...... "After one long and two short shrill horns, Sister Le, Dangfang, Dang Khotan, Sister Gang, and Beipu five 120,000 horses were mighty, divided into three batches, and rushed to the church army array.
120,000 people roared at the same time, and the killing force shook the sky.
At the same time, the 200,000 Qiang Iron Cavalry of the 200,000 Church Guards were unmoved, and although their cheeks under the protection of steel helmets were expressionless, their eyes were full of bloodthirsty light.
Ten years of sharpening a sword, now is the time to shine the sword.
With Luan Yi raising his hammer and giving an order, "For the glory of the Virgin!" Pass me the order and get ready to fight! ”
"The Sect Master has an order to prepare for battle!"
"The Sect Master has an order to prepare for battle!"
……
More than a dozen heralds moved at the same time, and their horses galloped back and forth between the aisles between the military formations, giving the battle orders to the various divisions.
Immediately, the military command flags waving in the wind from all directions danced, and the major ministries began to prepare for the upcoming war in a tense and orderly manner.
Huang Zhong, who was in charge of commanding the arrow array, saw the flag and shouted loudly, "Ranging arrows are ready!" ”
"Ready!"
"Release the rangefinder arrow...... Huang Zhong waved his hand, and a hundred archers released the bowstring in their hands at the same time.
The long arrow broke through the air, and against the wind of today's grassland, it flew into the distance along the sloped terrain and fell to the ground.
A soldier stood on a high platform and looked into the distance with a telescope in his hand, observed for a while, and replied, "Report to the general." Today's maximum firing range is 110 paces, the effective firing range is expected to be 85 paces, and the wind is northeast. ”
"Hmm!" Huang Zhong nodded, and then moved his gaze to Luan Yi, who was in the middle army. The northeast wind is a tailwind day. Even the heavens are helping King Qi, so why worry about not winning this battle?
Separated from Huang Zhong's archery array was the large array of engineers commanded by Zhuge Liang himself.
After receiving the general's order, the 2,000 sappers guarding the 200 thunderbolt chariots immediately got busy.
The freelance sapper observes the direction of the wind based on the rangefinder arrows fired by the archers, and determines the angle of the thunderbolt according to the shooting angle and the direction of the enemy's attack. "Turn left fifteen!"
"Whoa! Turn left fifteen and you're done! ”
The commander shouted: "The inclination of one column is thirty, the inclination of two columns is thirty-seven, and the inclination of three columns is forty-five." ”
"One column is complete."
"The second column is complete!"
"Three columns are complete!"
The commander said: "One column of two columns of incendiary bombs, three columns of hand melons are fully loaded!" ”
"Roger! A column of incendiary bombs is reloaded. ”
"Roger! The second column of incendiary bombs was reloaded. ”
"Three columns of hand melons are fully loaded! Always on call. ”
"Good!" Zhuge Liang smiled and nodded. "In a moment, let those Qiang pigs see what is called the new war of the Holy Yuan Era. Wangzi, report the distance. ”
"Whew...... The enemy is still half a mile from the front of our army, four hundred and five, four hundred and ......
Listening to the shrinking number of reports, Zhuge Liang accelerated the frequency of fanning. This feather fan was made for him by his newlywed wife Huang Yueying when he came, saying that he wanted to use this fan to bless Zhuge Liang with all the best.
"Yueying, Yueying, borrow your auspicious words, I hope everything goes well." Zhuge Liang muttered to himself. As soon as he finished speaking, the voice of Wangzi came to his ears, "One hundred and fifty, please fire." ”
"All in place, prepare to ......" Zhuge Liang stopped the action of fanning the fan and moved his gaze to the flag officer on the high platform of the Chinese army. I don't know if it was because of nervousness, or because he was excited about the upcoming intense scene, his body trembled involuntarily, "Come on! Come on! …… Come on! Leader, give the order! ”
Under the sunlight, Zhuge Liangping raised the telescope and remained motionless, standing here he could even clearly see the texture on the face of the Ling Qiguan, and the stains sprinkled on his face under the wind and sand. The flag fluttered above the flag officer's head, fluttering from east to west, once again witnessing that today was a good tailwind day.
At this moment, the flag moved, not by the wind, but artificially. Swing twice from top to bottom, and then swing upwards violently, this is the command to start the thunderbolt.
Zhuge Liang was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and shouted in a broken tone, "One column, two columns, three consecutive shots...... Put! ”
The sappers in charge of the first two thunderbolts quickly pulled the bags on the cars, and a series of mechanical roars followed, and the sound of spring brakes came and went, and the "buzzing" was deafening.
One hundred and twenty pottery urns loaded with high-concentration alcohol rose into the air after being lit, rising to a height of 30 zhang, and then landed impartially in the middle of the 120,000 Qiang pioneers like meteorites flying from the sky.
The weight of the large urn with a thin chest and waist is terrifying enough, not to mention that it is full of alcohol. Falling from the sky and smashing on the Qiang people, hundreds of Qiang soldiers were knocked to the ground, and the bones of people and horses were broken.
The wine urn burst open on the ground, and the fragments were scattered and killed.
Subsequently, the burning high-concentration alcohol burst out of the urn and sprinkled like a torrential rain on the dense Qiang cavalry brigade. The flames of alcohol of more than 3,000 degrees Celsius stuck to the people and horses, and immediately burst into flames, burning the Qiang people's leather armor, skin, and even muscles into charcoal.
The battlefield was filled with the smell of burnt leather.
