Chapter 329: Battle of Iron Mountain (24)

When the Turks saw that the archers in front of them suddenly gave way of the way, instead of sensing a conspiracy, they thought that the Han Chinese were timid. The heavy cavalry of the Turks accelerated their charge, wanting to break through Li Junxian's position. And the light cavalry of the Turks was also eyeing behind, as if they wanted to follow the heavy cavalry at any time. The purpose of the Turks was very simple, that is, to wait for the heavy armored cavalry to open a gap, and then they could rush in along this gap and completely disrupt the formation of Li Junxian's troops. After that, Li Junxian's troops would be completely disorganized, and they would not be able to organize an effective resistance.

"Eagle Iron Rider, follow me!" The Turkic heavy cavalry general shouted.

"Kill!" The Turkic heavy cavalry began to shout.

On Li Junxian's side, Yang Wu, the commander of the firearms regiment, stared at the heavy armored cavalry seriously, secretly estimating the distance between the heavy armored cavalry and his rocket battalion. The Rocket Battalion, on the other hand, was holding a box of very thick arrows, with a pole that looked like a giant firecracker behind it, and a lead at the end. In every sense of the word, this is a firearm.

And this arrow is not the same as an ordinary arrowhead, but is made into a knife shape, a sword shape, and a spear shape. And these arrows are very sharp, much sharper than normal arrows. Moreover, the length of these arrows is much longer than ordinary arrows, and even the appearance looks like rockets of later generations.

"Two hundred meters!"

"One hundred and fifty meters!"

"One hundred meters!"

"Launch!"

Yang Wu saw the Turkic heavy cavalry charge less than a hundred meters away from him, and ordered the soldiers of the rocket battalion to ignite this strange arrow.

"Uhhh

It seems that once the arrows are ignited, a very hot gas suddenly emerges from the back tail of the arrows, which looks like the hot air coming out of the gunpowder after it has been burned, and this fuel gas is different from the moment when the cannon explodes. The explosive gas of the cannon is exploding in an instant, using the explosive force to kill and injure the enemy. However, this gas is relatively slowly ejected from behind, pushing the entire arrow out.

"Hmph, let me taste the power of my three flying arrows!" Yang Wu snorted.

"Turkic warriors! Rush with me! The arrows of the Han Chinese could not penetrate our heavy armor. So don't worry! We don't have to worry about slaughtering the Han Chinese. The Han people relied on heavy armored cavalry to defeat us back then, and now we have to return blood for blood, tooth for tooth, and we don't have to be afraid of anything. The Turkic heavy cavalry general shouted.

Li Junxian looked at those cavalrymen and thought to himself: "I used the heavy armored cavalry to kill you back then, but now you also want to use this to kill me, isn't that too stupid?" ”

The Turkic horsemen continued to charge, and they saw a bright light coming towards them, but they were not worried. Because they are confident in the heavy armor on their bodies. This heavy armor weighed dozens of pounds, and most of the arrows could not penetrate him. And the only thing to worry about is artillery, but although those Turks do not know artillery, they have learned that artillery is curved after this period of analysis.

The Turks were not mistaken, although Li Junxian's flying thunder cannon and tiger squat cannon could kill the heavy cavalry, they had a very big drawback, that is, they could only shoot strange curves. The curved artillery could not attack too small a target, and this heavy armored iron cavalry only had 500 men. And the speed of running is not slow, so the curved artillery cannot hit this kind of heavy armored iron horseman. It's like a howitzer in later generations, it can't attack a tank, because the probability of a direct hit on the tank is too low. This is the disadvantage of the curved gun. If you want to attack this kind of heavily armored iron horseman, you can only attack with a flat-firing weapon.

"Uhhhhhh

The Turkic iron knight was not afraid at all, but instead met his body, as if he wanted to use his body to test the power of this bow and arrow. This is the habit of their original Turkic training, and when they encounter arrows, they not only do not dodge, but they go up to test the strength of this kind of bow and arrow.

"Boom-"

There was a loud bang. The Turk flew upside down and fell off his horse. When he was dying, he vomited a mouthful of blood. He never imagined that this kind of arrow would be able to pierce armor. Normally, even if a famous general who is famous for his strength uses all his strength to assassinate a heavy armored iron horseman, although he will also kill the heavy armored cavalry, but in this case, he is not killed by a sharp weapon, but is stoned to death.

In other words, the heavy armor iron riders were almost invincible in ancient times, and almost no sharp weapon could pierce the heavy armor of those heavy armor iron riders, so they were not afraid at all. But the fiery arrow pierced their armor and killed them.

"Ahhh......hh

There was a scream, and the Turkic heavy cavalry flew out one after another.

"Hmph, how do our three flying arrows taste?" Yang Wu, the head of the firearms regiment, snorted.

The so-called three flying arrows, in fact, are Li Junxian's imitation of the three flying arrows of Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general of the Ming Dynasty, which are flying knife arrows, flying spear arrows, and flying sword arrows, which together are three flying arrows. San Feiyang is different from ordinary arrows, he uses the spray of gunpowder to drive the arrows to kill the enemy. In addition, because of the large amount of gunpowder used, this three-flying arrow can penetrate heavy armor. This rocket is also the earliest staged rocket, and the gunpowder in it is divided into several cartridges, and when the first cartridge is burned, it can continue to ignite the second cartridge and continue to fly. This staged rocket was more than two hundred years ahead of the West.

Originally, Qi Jiguang's use of this weapon in history was actually used on warships, and it was very powerful and could penetrate warships. Later, Qi Jiguang was sent to the north to fight against the Mongols, so he brought three flying arrows over to fight against the Mongol cavalry. Because this kind of three-flying arrow armor-piercing ability is very powerful, even the armor of the Ming Dynasty can rarely be blocked, so the three-flying arrow has become an armor-breaking weapon, which is equivalent to the "armor-piercing bullet" at that time.

Although for many people, the structure of the Three Flying Arrows is complicated, but for Li Junxian, a later generation, as long as he comes up with a theory, those craftsmen led by his subordinate Tie Gao will follow and help study it, so he doesn't have to worry about not being able to study it at all. With the support of Li Junxian's theory and the research of many craftsmen, this three-flying arrow was made out, and now it has become a nightmare for the Turks.

"Knock knock......" The sound of continuous impact, those Turkic iron horsemen were constantly stabbed by three flying arrows, and their armor was also torn, and then flew out upside down.

Five hundred heavily armored cavalry were wiped out in less than ten minutes. (To be continued......)
