Outside the Manyi Valley, the horn sounded for a long time, and the horses neighed and the people were boiling.

Bang bang......

The high-speed running war horse kept hitting the wall of the Xiliang army, and in the neighing of the earth-shattering horse, the war horse was pierced through the body by the sharp antlers, and struggled to let out a desperate neigh, and the Xianbei cavalry on horseback were all like cannonballs, flying directly from the horseback into the Xiliang army camp, and were stabbed through the body by a sharp spear.

The number of cavalry was different, and the formation chosen when charging was different,

If it is a few thousand cavalry, it will form a triangular conical assault formation when charging to ensure maximum attack power.

But this assault formation also has a fatal flaw, that is, it is not flexible enough.

Once the momentum of the charge is blocked and you fall into a melee, it will be too late to change formation.

The advantage of the cavalry was the powerful impact and mobility, and the melee was precisely the most disadvantageous for the cavalry.

Therefore, once the size of the cavalry exceeds 10,000, it will be lined up into a more flexible goose-shaped formation when charging, in order to maintain the greatest flexibility and mobility.

Now, due to the limitation of the terrain on both sides of the Manyi Valley, the 10,000 cavalry of the Tuoba Department could not spread out to the two wings, and could only move closer to the Chinese army, stretching the team long, and charging the Xiliang army camp in turn.

This kind of suicidal charge is still very effective.

Soon, after paying the huge casualties of 2,000 cavalry, the wall of the Xiliang army was finally overwhelmed, and was knocked down by the Xianbei cavalry with flesh and blood.

In front of the Xiliang army. Five hundred hoplites erected huge shields and drove the surging Xianbei cavalry with flesh and blood.

More than 100 steps away. Gao Shun's eyes were condensed, and he waved his hand violently.

The Xiliang army parted to both sides like a tide. With the sound of squeaky wheels, two thousand foot soldiers pushed a hundred huge chariots to the front of the formation, lined up, and on each chariot, there were ten soldiers.

Measuring two feet wide and seven feet high, the chariots looked like large wooden chests with huge winches on each side and ten fist-sized holes in front of them.

in every hole. Half of the spears were exposed, and they could be half a foot long.

The blade of the spear is not the iron head used by the spearmen, but it is sharpened, and the penetration is definitely not bad.

Hundreds of chariots lined up, and the valley mouth was immediately blocked.

Amid the earth-shattering shouts and screams, the wall of flesh and blood formed by the 500 hoplites was overwhelmed and completely overwhelmed by the surging Xianbei cavalry, and all the 500 hoplites were killed, and none of them survived.

Although the Xianbei cavalry was not as well equipped as the Xiliang cavalry. Tactics and training were also inferior to those of the Western Liang cavalry.

But these grassland wolves have an amazing ability to withstand death, as long as the horn of the charge continues, they dare to launch the most fierce charge with indomitable strength, even if the knife mountain in front of them will not flinch.

Gao Shun's face was expressionless. There was not the slightest fluctuation of emotion, even as he watched the five hundred hoplites turn into flesh and blood under the surging Xianbei iron hooves, and the face was as resolute as a rock. I can't see even the slightest bit of distress.

It wasn't until the Xianbei cavalry rushed within fifty paces that he raised his right arm and swung it down. "Kill!"

"Kill, kill, kill, kill ......"

All the Xiliang infantry in front of the formation opened their voices and shouted.

Buzz Buzz Buzz ......

In the violent cabinet vibration and the sound of the bracket, count from left to right. The spears in the holes in front of the fifty huge chariot boxes lined up in an odd number were shot out at the first time, intertwined into a forest of death, and shot at the Xianbei cavalry who rushed over.

The ten Xiliang soldiers standing in the chariot didn't care about looking at the results of the battle at all, three of each turned the winches on both sides, and the remaining four quickly reloaded the ten wooden guns from the horizontal frame behind the carriage.

Amid the terrible screams and the terrifying neighing of horses, the Xianbei cavalry who rushed over fell like pieces of wheat grass that had been cut down.

No flesh and blood drive can stop these big killing weapons, and neither can the war horse.

No matter how strong the bow and arrow are, the lethality is very limited. If you don't get shot at the point, you will be injured but not killed at most, and if you put on a few layers of thick leather armor, even if you are shot at close range, it will be a minor injury at most.

Unless you shoot flat at close range with a strong bow of more than three stones, you can completely shoot through the leather armor and shoot people.

But those who can shoot more than three stone strong bows, in addition to some brave generals, there are a few people who can pull out three stone bows.

As for the war horse, not to mention, the ability of livestock to withstand death is much stronger than that of people, except for the fierce man like Zhao Yun, who is superior in force, and the iron arrow forged with a five-stone strong bow and pure iron can hit the vital point and shoot the war horse to death with one arrow.

An ordinary archer, even if he hits the horse's head, cannot kill the horse with an arrow.

Therefore, even if the Xianbei cavalry is all wounded, as long as they are not trapped, they can still rush to the front of the Xiliang army.

Bows and arrows can only deal damage, and the chance of directly shooting people and horses to death is much smaller.

Unless he hits some fatal vital points, but how can ordinary archers have such archery skills, if they have such archery skills, as long as Luo Zheng trains 10,000 archers, he will be invincible in the world, and as many enemies will shoot and kill.

If you really have that kind of archery, the Xianbei cavalry will rush to the front of the battle.

And these first-time big killing weapons are different, these Xiliang craftsmen created a giant crossbow pulled by a cart not only has a range of one hundred and fifty steps, which is farther than the range of ordinary bows and arrows, but also has a much stronger penetration power than the horizontal shooting of bows and arrows. What's more, the weight of these wooden guns is many times greater than the weight of the shaft, and the rate of fire within eighty paces is almost not attenuated, which is basically the same as the rate of fire that has just been ejected.

Unlike bows and arrows, when you shoot fifty paces, the rate of fire will drop, and it all depends on the coherence of free fall to hurt the enemy.

There is no doubt that the lethality of these wooden guns is terrifying.

Not to mention soldiers, even the war horses of the Xianbei people can withstand the penetration of these wooden guns, no matter how hard the bones are, they can't stop these sharpened wooden guns, and their huge bodies are directly pierced by wooden guns more than a foot long.

The castration of the wooden spear was unabated, and the powerful impact force took the war horse backwards a few steps, and then met a war horse, and half of the gun pierced into the head of the second war horse without hindrance, nailing the two war horses together.

As for the Xianbei cavalry on horseback, it was as if they were skewered together like a lamb skewer.

Often, a single wooden gun can pierce the bodies of four Xianbei cavalrymen in a straight line.

With such a huge lethality, it is not an injury that is caused, but a direct death.

Even if he is pierced in the arm and does not die for the time being, he will be crippled for the rest of his life, and it is impossible to go to the battlefield again.

Buzz Buzz Buzz ......

As soon as the fifty chariots were loaded with wooden guns and put on the plane, Gao Shun, who personally commanded the battle in front of the battle, gave an order, and the five hundred wooden spears on the other fifty chariots ejected in an instant, turning into a forest of death.

Wherever he passed, there was not a single Xianbei cavalry standing on the flat ground of the valley mouth.

The horse was wounded by a bow and arrow, but it was able to continue to charge.

But being pierced through the body by these killing weapons, where can you stand up again.

When the camp of the Xiliang army was broken, the charge of the Xianbei cavalry had been blocked, and the formation became very dense. The giant ballista caused no less than a thousand casualties to the Xianbei cavalry in just one volley.

Instead of being lightly injured, it is either dead or disabled.

The corpses of the Xianbei cavalry and war horses blocked the valley mouth, and soon blocked the way to the charge.

Occasionally, a fish that slipped through the net rushed over, and they were also shot into hedgehogs by the arrows of a thousand archers lined up behind the chariot.

Suddenly suffered such a tragic blow, the Xianbei cavalry was suddenly in chaos, and the terrible screams and neighing of the horses almost overturned Tianyu, and the Xianbei cavalry behind couldn't hold their feet, and they didn't know what was going on, and they were still rushing forward.

Behind the West Cool, on top of the tower.

Luo Zheng's eyes were condensed, and his face kept twitching.

Jia Xu, Fa Zheng, Cheng Ying and others kept inhaling cool air.

It's amazing, the lethality of this thing is really a bit perverted.

Compared to these big guys, bows and arrows can only be regarded as children's toys.

A wooden spear can also nail a second horse after piercing a warhorse.

Such a terrifying penetrating power really sends chills down the spine.

You must know that the war horse is not a human, not only is the body much larger than a human, but the bones are also much harder than a human, even if Zhao Yun is allowed to shoot at close range with a five-stone strong bow and an iron arrow forged from fine iron, it will be able to shoot the war horse through the sky.

Such a terrifying lethality, let alone leather armor, even the iron armor of hoplites will definitely not be able to stop it.

Fa Zheng recovered from the huge shock, and said vigorously: "The lord is far-sighted, and he really admires the five-body throwing to the ground. If it weren't for the fact that the lord spared no effort to improve the status of craftsmen and encourage those craftsmen to make inventions, how could they create such a sharp and terrifying weapon of war? With such sharp weapons, the crowd will not be destroyed, and the world will not be uncertain. ”

Luo Zheng shook his head and said: "There is no victorious army, and there is no perfect weapon of war in this world. Although these giant crossbows fixed to the cart are terrifying, they also have fatal flaws, and it is not difficult to defend against them. ”

Jia Xu nodded again and again: "Yes, although the lethality of these big guys is very terrifying, but the size is too large, it is not convenient to move, at most it will be a surprise, if the princes know, they will definitely be guarded." As long as you don't fight our army head-on, or make the ground potholes, these big guys will hardly come in handy. ”

Fa Zhengdao: "I agree very much with what the military advisor said, but water is impermanent, soldiers are impermanent, as long as the plan is good, these war weapons can still come in handy." Otherwise, the lord spent so much manpower and material resources to make this kind of big killing weapon, if it can't be used at all, wouldn't it be useless! ”

Luo Zheng said happily: "What filial piety says is extremely true, there are no useless weapons in the world, only incompetent generals. Although these ballistas have many disadvantages, they also have many advantages, and as long as they take advantage of their advantages, they can be beneficial to warfare. ”

Jia Xu also nodded in agreement, giving Fa Zheng an appreciative glance.

This kid is becoming more and more confident, and his thinking is becoming more and more cautious. (To be continued......) R1292
