Chapter 232: Ambush
……
Although the Golden Eagle Flying Horse is only a thousand times, it has been cultivated for seven years in the environment of the small world, and its strength is extraordinary. The bows and arrows used are all the best tailor-made for them by the Department of Organs. The bow body is small and delicate, but the master below the fifth rank does not want to pull it full of strings. Even those fifth-rank masters who were worthy of any guard commander could only barely use this kind of strong bow, and they would announce the exhaustion of true qi after a few shots. However, the women of the Golden Eagle Flying Rider are quite proficient in the use of this short bow, although due to lack of experience and practice time, they are still far from the level of sharpshooters in the army. But they have achieved success in cultivation and are full of true energy. Under the accumulation of a large amount of aura in the small world, the most inferior of them all have the strength of the pinnacle of the first grade, and more than 100 of them with outstanding qualifications are already figures in the realm of grandmasters.
In their hands, this short bow can be used to its fullest potential. Even if you don't inject true qi into the arrows, the power of the arrows fired is far more powerful than the Linglong musket, and it is still full of lethality from a distance of hundreds of meters. However, once the arrows are infused with True Qi, the arrows not only fly faster, but also become more powerful, even the Shura armor of the Tiger Tooth Army cannot completely defend against the arrows in a short distance. Of course, it does not mean that the Huya Army is dead in the face of this kind of bow and arrow. They can still use their weapons to block the arrows that come from them.
Of course, that's an arrow used by a master. The weight of each golden eagle is strictly controlled. The armor on their bodies could only be made of simple armor made of finely tanned leather and a small amount of dark iron, which only maintained their vital parts in order to reduce weight. The total mass is less than five catties.
Naturally, in the design process of this special battle armor for golden eagle flying horses, Zhao Zhe's personal preferences were included. He's a traverser, and he's also an otaku in a sense before he crosses. Otaku's biggest hobby,Of course, those games.,Anime and the like.。 Game and anime producers, on the other hand, tend to design a lot of beautiful and charming female characters in order to attract customers. And the biggest feature of those female characters is often the exposed slender legs, the kind of beautiful armor that wants to be covered and exposed, which sets off the beautiful combat professionals who make people squirt blood.
Zhao Zhe also suffered from it, integrating those women's armor in the game comics, and mixed some of his own **, combined with practical surnames. Eventually, today's Golden Eagle Flying Rider Female Surname Battle Armor was formed. In order to ensure that the weight of the Golden Eagle Flying Horse is reduced to the greatest extent, in terms of weight, there is no longer anything to say, those who have cultivated to the level of a grade or above, unless the exercises are really special, the figure will generally be very well-proportioned. And the Golden Eagle Flying Riding Women, who pay special attention to weight control, everyone has a good figure. Putting on the women's armor and riding the Golden Eagle Flying Horse, it almost made Zhao Zhe spurt blood. Because of the need to reduce weight, there should be no clothing other than profane clothes and armor. It is precisely because of this that the women of the Golden Eagle Flying Horse are all extremely affectionate.
Their standard equipment is generally a slender sword with a talisman, weighing more than a catty, five catties of battle armor, and less than half a catty of short bow. In addition, they will hang three special weight-saving quivers. The first two were loaded with sixty steel arrows, and the last pair was loaded with twelve shafts made of precious but strong wood made of dark iron as a cluster of arrows. But the total weight of these three bags of arrows has reached ten catties. In addition to this, there is a glove bag, in addition to medicines, bandages. The rest of the women are dressed whatever they want, and the total weight does not exceed five catties.
The stainless steel arrows are used to shoot the five ranks, and the following people, and can hold a small amount of true qi. The Dark Iron Arrow is used to shoot masters, and it can inject a large amount of True Qi, making it extremely powerful.
Of course, these standards were originally measured on the slightly improved Golden Eagle Flying Rider. At that time, he was only going to cultivate the golden eagle for about three years, but after obtaining a large number of spirit stones by accident, Zhao Zhe did not treat these golden eagles badly. Continue to let them stay in the small world and enjoy the thrill of leveling up. As a result, their carrying capacity has far exceeded the original projection. But those armors had already been done, so the women had to wear them. Over time, I got used to this coolness. Guy and the others are all considered to be successful in cultivation, and it is not a problem to be cold or hot.
According to the queue, the tactic of dive shooting is naturally one of the tactics of the Golden Eagle Flying Horse Drill. Of course, this is also mainly aimed at relatively weak armies that do not have long-range lethality. But Rao is like this, and the minimum height of the dive will not be lower than about ten zhang. At this altitude, the hit rate of the Golden Eagle Flying Rider is greatly improved.
Arrows of stainless steel, easily piercing the chests of those infantrymen, plunged into the ground fiercely. Some time ago, the golden eagle flying horsemen who had already experienced a few battles, the rookie breath was moving away from them. Especially because of his soft heart, several sisters who got along with each other died in the previous battle, and many were injured. So that they have understood that war is war, and if you don't die, you will die.
The golden eagle swept ten feet above the surface, its arrows like locusts, reaping the lives of the poor infantrymen. The coalition forces sent a lot of infantry to fill the pits, and there were hundreds of thousands of people in this more than ten miles wide. It is really inexhaustible, although the Golden Eagle Flying Horse is powerful, but the number is scarce. After a few bursts of killing, sixty ordinary arrows had been consumed, so they had to turn around and fly back, go to Jiayuguan to rest and recuperate, and replenish the arrows.
Every woman in the Golden Eagle Flying Horse has at least the strength of a pinnacle. In such a fast flight situation, it is still able to be extremely sharp. Although it is impossible to achieve a 100% hit, there are always three or four percent, and there are no less than 20,000 people killed in a round of charging and shooting. The tens of thousands of carefully selected crossbowmen, although their combat effectiveness was not as strong as that of the Golden Eagle Flying Horse, they also left behind 30,000 enemy corpses before the hundreds of thousands of enemy troops who filled the pit completely withdrew.
The loss of the enemy should have exceeded 50,000, which can be regarded as a beautiful ambush, and more importantly, the mouth of the gorge was temporarily held. Although the Hexi Corridor is extremely long and narrow, it is full of natural dangers. But not everywhere is like this, only ten miles wide, suitable for intercepting ambushes. For the most part, it's still very spacious. Zhao Zhe really wanted to use their road to Jiayuguan to damage the enemy as much as possible. Of course, the coalition forces are not fools, and after suffering this loss, they will be extra cautious. I can't say, what means can break Zhao Zhe's tactics.
Fortunately, Da Zhao's scout war this time was fought extremely beautifully, and he occupied the initiative in terms of reconnaissance. In the mountains on both sides, the coalition forces no longer dared to send scouts to enter again. I thought that even the Grandmaster had a lot of damage in it. And the coalition forces do not have Zhao Zhe's perverted means, and they can cultivate grandmasters in batches. As for ordinary scouts going in, there must be no return.
Unfortunately, the mountains on both sides are steep and dangerous. If a large army wants to run into it and march, both the difficulty and danger of marching are far more than a hundred times greater than in this long and narrow plain. In front of them, there are only two paths, one is to attack, and the other is to retreat.
Retreat was obviously unlikely, and this time the coalition forces were united in spite of all the unfavorable factors. Profit is one of the important factors. But they all knew in their hearts that Meng Yuantu was right, and the current Da Zhao was still relatively weak. But if Da Zhao is really allowed to develop, no one in the surrounding countries will be able to hold on. Especially these coalition countries, simply put, they are already riding a tiger, and now they have offended Da Zhao to death. If you can't destroy Zhao Guo, then wait, sooner or later, Zhao Guo's army will kill them one by one.
The terrifying combat power of the Golden Eagle Flying Horse was quickly transmitted to the headquarters of the coalition forces. This terrible type of troops made the officers at all levels of the coalition command dumbfounded, and they all secretly thought in their hearts that this battle would be extremely difficult. That Yongtai is really a bastard, and he actually hid such a terrifying army.
However, before they could express their opinions, news suddenly came from the rear, and one supply line after another had been destroyed. In particular, some important materials were intercepted. According to some survivors' reports, it was the Tiger Tooth Army, who rode a terrifying ironclad war horse, and the Golden Eagle Flying Horse, which could fly in the sky.
For the Huya Army, the coalition army has already done it in their hearts, only knowing that this is a powerful cavalry army with a total number of only six or seven hundred people, but it is a strong cavalry army, among which there are more than a dozen grandmasters. In this regard, they have long been mentally prepared and are ready to shake this terrifying cavalry army. But it's a pity that it's not that their intelligence is outdated, but that Zhao Zhe is really too perverted. No one expected that he would cultivate a thousand Huya Army in a short period of time, and his strength had increased several times. It also made a golden eagle flying horse whose overall strength was only slightly inferior to the Tiger Tooth Army, but it was destined to be even more difficult than it.
Everyone is groaning in their hearts, this perverted Emperor of Zhao, where did he recruit so many masters? Still don't let people live? Supply lines were cut off, and the coalition forces had no choice. Today's food supplies, plus all the surplus food in Turpan. It's less than a month's worth of use. Either use this month's supply to return to the country, but on the way, it will definitely be pursued by the tail of the Great Zhao troops, and the losses will not be less. Either in this month, break through the blockade of Da Zhao, break through Jiayu Pass, snatch the food supply of Zhao, feed the war with war, and completely devour Zhao.
Although the Zhao State had a large population, the vast majority of them were ordinary peasants, and it was difficult to resist their wolf-like army.
The use of artillery and musketeers to cover the filling of the pits by the infantry was the final conclusion they came to after discussing for a long time............
