Chapter 445: A New Type of Chariot
"Your Majesty, the enemy has retreated!" Yao Guangxiao cautiously reminded, and the implication was to persuade Hao Ren to attack quickly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, Hao Ren also saw that the enemy could not break through the shield wall, and under the huge casualties, less than one-third of the cavalry had already retreated in an orderly manner.
However, the enemy left many people and horses in front of the military formation, and if the cavalry and infantry attacked, there should be no obstacles, but if it was a charioteer, it would be a little troublesome.
"Call the Xuan Iron Car of Shan Jun to attack!" Hao Ren hesitated slightly, but still decisively gave the order.
At this time, Tu Shan Jun, hidden in the military formation, was anxiously rubbing his hands, since the defeat of the abducted horse, he secretly held back a force in his heart, he must fight a victorious turnaround battle, completely wash away the shame of defeat.
At that time, the abducted horse was defeated by Li Chahan under Bianliang City, which was not the fault of Shan Jun, but Richard rarely came prepared, and hid the hook and sickle gun in the army after the early training, which led to the destruction of the whole army of the abducted horse, and the destruction of the abducted horse, the direct result was that Hao Ren had to temporarily negotiate peace with Li Chahan and return to the army to rescue Anqing.
Tu Danjun was anxious, suddenly heard the horn of the Chinese army, and saw the banner of the Chinese army's attack, Tu Danjun was very excited, and without saying a word, he gave the order to attack.
The door of the Song army's military formation was wide open, and 300 fully armed chariots, lined up in three rows in front and rear, had already rushed out of the military formation.
The chariot, driven by four horses, is full of power, all four horses are dressed in light armor, and on the outside of the wheel, there is a monolithic metal cover, which is sharp in front and wide in the back, and the four horses are tightly wrapped from the head to the knees, which is to learn the lesson of the last abducted horse, and then use the hook and sickle-like battle formation, and it is impossible to attack the horse's hooves on the side.
The carriage is four-wheeled, four meters long, three meters wide, four meters high, the outside is covered with barbs, ordinary soldiers, can not enter the front at all, the carriage is divided into two layers, the whole is low in the front and high in the back, the shape of the bottom is wide and the top is pointed.
On the lower carriage, the four corners are equipped with four fixed-firing 'swarm bee' devices, each swarm of bees, hiding 50 rockets, on each side of each side is equipped with a crossbowman, a sword and shield soldier, a pikeman, and a royal hand in the middle, and the entire bottom vehicle, a total of seven soldiers.
The top compartment, low in front and high in the rear, from front to back, had one three-pounder gun, two gunners, followed by two grenadiers, two crossbowmen, one ballista, and two crossbowmen.
The chariot makes full use of the space, the height is staggered, the whole car is full of ten five people, in addition to the power of the original horse as the power, the wheels are also wheeled, the whole and the armored car of later generations is almost the same.
Tu Danjun lost to Li Chahan last time, he wanted to find Li Chahan for revenge, but Li Chahan was dead, and Tu Danjun could only sprinkle his anger of revenge on Wang Baobao.
Tu Dan Jun personally commanded a chariot, acting as a chariot grenadier, a chariot took the lead, rushed straight over, three hundred charioteers, followed, because to avoid the corpses of the enemy's war horses left on the battlefield forward, the formation at first seemed a little chaotic, when the chariot soldiers rushed out of the three hundred paces, three hundred chariots, with Tu Danjun as the center, gradually showed a wedge-shaped military formation.
Wang Baobao had long heard that the Song army had trained charioteers, and he specially sent people to Bozhou to spy on intelligence, but he had only seen the Song army's open-top chariots, which were not so tall, and Wang Baobao was a little surprised to see the charioteers of the Song army rushing over with the rout.
Wang Baobao, who had experienced a hundred battles, finally reacted quickly, knowing that the cavalry could not stop such a charge, so he hurriedly asked the infantry to step forward and use his shield to resist the attack of the Song army's chariots.
Wang Baobao had just seen the Song army using a shield wall to resist his own cavalry, and now he naturally wanted to deal with the Song army in the same way.
Tu Danjun's chariot advanced very quickly, and in the blink of an eye it had rushed to within one hundred and fifty paces in front of the enemy's formation, which was already within the range of the three-pounder gun, but Tu Danjun's troops were in a hurry to fire the artillery, and the chariot continued to move forward, threatening to break through the forest of spears like a hedgehog.
Twenty paces, the chariot suddenly launched a puff of black smoke, a three-pounder cannon surging out, "bang", the cannonball hit the shield wall, the shield was beaten into powder, the shell was not eliminated, directly the strict shield wall, ploughed out a bloody red ditch, more than a dozen infantry, fell under the artillery.
The enemy's infantry still wanted to plug this gap before the tanks arrived, but where was the time?
The ballista on the chariot followed the traces of the artillery, and the crossbow arrows the size of the javelin were full of strength, directly piercing the three infantrymen, and the crossbow arrows were still in force, and the two infantry were hung and flying, and the crossbow arrows and soldiers were smashed into the soldiers behind.
The enemy's formation was nothing more than a gap more than two people wide, which was enough for a chariot with a sharp front and a wide rear.
The chariot followed the traces of artillery and crossbow arrows, breaking through the formation, and the sharp blades hanging on both sides of the chariot strangled the soldiers near the chariot, but the entire chariot on both sides had already been stained red by the enemy's blood.
And the earth-shattering thunder, repeating crossbows, and rockets on the chariot attack together, and only tilt towards the enemy's dense places.
"Boom-" The earth-shattering thunder blossomed in the enemy group, instantly blowing up the flesh and blood of seven or eight soldiers, "Whoosh! "The rocket slammed into the air with a sound of water falling towards the enemy, which enemy came closer?
Even if there are lucky enemy soldiers, they rush to the chariot without fear of life and death, and they are either shot by the repeater crossbowmen, or killed by the spear, sword and shield soldiers at close range.
One chariot is like this, three hundred chariots attack together, and in Wang Baobao's military array, three hundred large gaps in flesh and blood are chiseled, and even if Wang Baobao is eight-armed Nezha, he can't contain it.
"Musketeers, strike!" Hao Ren ordered!
Chen Xian, the commander of the thousand households, commanded the three thousand musket troops, all the cavalry, and quickly rushed out of the military formation.
Wang Baobao's reaction was very flexible, knowing that the gap caused by the charioteers was no longer able to resist, but fortunately, Wang Baobao's cavalry suffered little losses, and took advantage of the high mobility of the cavalry, the military formation quickly spread to the left and right flanks, and then outflanked the rear flank of Tu Danjun, cutting off the connection between the charioteers and Hao Ren's follow-up army.
The two armies, like two huge arrowheads, rushed towards the three thousand musketeers that Chen Xian followed.
The musketeers did not seem to be in a disorder, and the whole army quickly dismounted, and then formed a regular quadrangular military formation with three internal and external parts, and the muzzles of the muskets in black holes were pointed out of the military formation, and the entire military formation, but still marched with neat steps, and continued to move forward.
"Eat them, eat them!" Wang Baobao quickly gave orders to the cavalry on the left and right flanks.
For Wang Baobao, these 3,000 cavalry have good war horses and not cavalry, but they give up the advantage of high mobility of war horses, and these soldiers have no shield wall, for cavalry, it is easy to eat them.
Eat them, Wang Baobao will be able to completely cut off the connection between the chariot soldiers and the Song army, and Wang Baobao will still have room to turn the tables!
