Chapter 704: Killer Showdown

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

"Bang! Boom! Boom! ”

"Boom!"

It is difficult to describe in words how many voices resonated in the moment before the two armies came into close contact. Aside from the relatively subtle, muffled, chronologically sound of powerful crossbow bolts colliding with shields.

Although they saw the shield, in such a short period of time, the order had already been modified by the unwielded Yi, and the crossbowmen had no time to ask for instructions or hesitate, so they could only forcibly raise or lower the crossbow in their hands according to their own judgment, trying to avoid the enemy's shield and shoot people or horses.

Actually, according to Koji's thoughts, even if the other party takes out a shield, he should keep shooting flat.

The armor on the Qingzhou army is thick enough, and it is unknown whether the strong crossbow can break the armor at a distance of thirty paces, and whether it can produce enough damage after breaking the armor. Rather than counting on how much damage a salvo would cause, it was better to expect the impact of a strong crossbow to push a part of the cavalry off their horses and cause chaos.

For this purpose, the strong crossbow shot on the shield or on the armor did not make much difference, but it barely avoided the shield, so that the power of the salvo was minimized.

The shield of the Qingzhou army was too big, and it was lifted forward to protect the horse's head and half of the rider's body behind, so how easy was it to avoid it? The 800 crossbow bolts were either high or low, completely losing the meaning of a salvo.

In this round of fighting, Wang Yu, who came prepared, won a big victory.

In fact, with Kojiyi's eyesight, he had already seen this shield. It's just that he had never seen plate armor before, and he was confused by this new armor assembled from large iron plates, and he couldn't tell whether it was a shield or armor, so he didn't remind him in time.

The failure of the strong crossbow did not discourage Koji.

His tactics of restraining cavalry have a holistic approach, and the main role of the crossbow is to create chaos. Reducing the damage caused by the enemy's forward is not the winner, it is the Changge and the spear in the back that really solve the battle.

Spearmen and cavalry, just a setting in the game of later generations, not enough to rely on, if the spearmen are so powerful, then what is the time and effort to train the cavalry?

However, the dense spear formation can indeed cause considerable restraint to the enemy army charging head-on, in the battle method of Koji Yoshi. The real ace against the cavalry was the Changge soldiers.

Most of the long weapons in China were evolved from spears. Needless to say, the spear is the round shape of the weapons such as the sword, lance, and gun, while the upgraded version of the Ge is the halberd, axe gun, hook and sickle gun, and other Qimen weapons.

Because Ge has a horizontal branch on it, it is used against ordinary enemies. It can be used to hook and lock the opponent's weapon; It is even more effective against heavy armored cavalry, as long as there is a dare to fight without shooting to death, you can use Ge to hook the enemy off the horse during the melee.

As long as the heavy cavalry falls to the ground, even if it does not die, it will not be able to stand up. It's like dead. Therefore, Ge and halberd to deal with heavy cavalry are the tactics of the opposite road.

Later, when Yue Fei dealt with the Tiefutu of the Jin Kingdom, he used a hook and sickle spear, and Koji Yi was the first good hand at restraining cavalry in the late Han Dynasty. Naturally, they will not be helpless when they encounter heavy armored cavalry.

Ge is the winner and loser, the crossbow is a weapon to reduce casualties, and the spearman is to keep the full array and reduce the enemy's speed. Create fighters for Ge Bing and play the core of the tactics of connecting the past and the future.

At the beginning of the boundary bridge. Due to the careful arrangement of the frustrated teaching, Gongsun Chan was completely confused, and Koji Yi relied on the strong crossbow alone, which caused a major blow to Baima Yicong, and failed to completely break through the spear formation behind, so the battle method of the Koji Yike cavalry was not completely exposed.

This time, the Changge Array hidden behind the spear array was his killer weapon. If Wang Yu thought that as long as he avoided his powerful crossbow volley, he would be able to win with confidence, then he was very wrong!

Koji will not hesitate to grab the fruits of victory!

Therefore, the failure of the salvo did not bother him in any way, and in the midst of the deafening collision of all kinds, he shouted with all his strength, asking the spearmen to stabilize and level the spear.

So, after the collision of the crossbow and the shield, the sound of the collision of the shield and the spear followed.

Wang Yu's move once again exceeded Ko Yi's prediction. He inquired in detail about the rout of the previous battle, and thought that he had a certain understanding of Wang Yu's iron cavalry charging battle method.

It was undoubtedly a rather active tactic, using the huge lethality and sturdy armor of the horse lance to punch hard and crush the enemy's forward as quickly as possible, causing chaos and taking advantage of the opportunity to kill.

If it is that kind of tactic, his own spear formation should not be able to withstand it, especially in the case of insufficient number of strong crossbows, the spear formation will soon be broken through, but that is exactly what he wants!

If you break through in that way, the breakthrough points should be scattered, and the cavalry with higher martial arts and equestrian skills will come out of the formation earlier. This doesn't mean much to Zahu, just like when Lu Qiling broke away from the array, as long as she avoided the attack of axes and hammers, the siege of the thieves couldn't help the heavy armored cavalry.

But against the first to enter the camp, the sharp soldiers who came out of the formation would be besieged by the Changge soldiers, and fierce generals like Lu Qiling and Zhang Liao might be able to withstand it, but ordinary cavalry had to fall off their horses.

In fact, even Lu Qiling and Zhang Liao may not be fine, after wearing heavy armor, their flexibility will be greatly limited, they can't turn back, they can't wave their weapons with their backhands, and there is nothing they can do about attacks from behind. What's more, Changge soldiers can also hook horses' feet, and there are not many ways to deal with cavalry.

If everything goes according to Kojiyi's drama, the spear formation plays the role of a sieve, and there is no need to completely block the cavalry's assault, as long as the overall formation of the cavalry is destroyed. Although the spearmen will inflict great damage on the spearmen, they will not be able to continue the assault, nor will they be able to turn around and help, and eventually a war of attrition will be formed - exchanging the lives of the spearmen for the cavalry to fall from their horses.

Koji Yi believes that there is a chance of winning if he goes to the camp first.

Even if the Qingzhou army is strong against the sky, after being consumed by him for a while, it is impossible to still have the strength to deal with Qi Zhou, who picked up cheap. It's not good to fight a tough battle, but you still have a hand in fighting a good fight.

However, Wang Yu did not follow his routine at all, and in the period before the two armies came into contact, the cavalry usually increased their speed to the extreme, while the Qingzhou army uncharacteristically reduced the speed of their horses.

Slowing down?

Moreover, instead of the expected horse lances waving in unison and the sharp soldiers rushing forward, the cavalry with shields in the first two rows pressed up first, and collided with the spear array.

This is not a clever tactic, the impact of the cavalry is super strong, but the strength will not be much greater than that of the infantry, using a shield to meet the spear formation, of course, can reduce the casualties of the forward, but after losing the impact force, what do they have to use to break through the spear formation?

Koji Yi was quite puzzled by this, and even rarely fell into a state of distraction.

The sound of the spear and the iron shield clashing endlessly, and finally turned into a loud bang, and the cavalry with the shield raised fell off their horses one after another.

The huge shield that had given the first camp a headache had become a fatal wound, the area was too large, and each shield had to withstand the stabbing of at least a dozen spearmen, and it became a simple wrestling, how could the cavalry not fall off their horses? The morale of the spearmen was greatly boosted, and if it weren't for the rigorous training, maybe someone would have counterattacked.

"What is invincible in the world, it turns out to be a group of cowards!"

"The cavalry raises their shields to hit the spear forest, only an idiot would do that!"

The moment they saw the cavalry fall off their horses one after another, Qi Zhou and the others were like a group of drowning people who finally put their heads out of the water, a refreshing breath of escaping death was inhaled from the pores, and they instantly walked in the eight veins of the Qi Jing for a week, moved away the mountains, and felt good to raise their eyebrows again.

"Kill Wang Pengju and avenge the dead brothers!" Now their hands are no longer shaking, their legs are not weak, and they are no longer panting when they get on their horses in one breath. Below Qi Zhou, all the leaders shouted to get on their horses, just waiting to rush down to help fight and take revenge.

Killing Wang Pengju to make a name for himself is such a good thing, it is estimated that it is difficult to get his turn, and it is even more nonsense to avenge Luo Blind and them, the most important thing is to grab the spoils! The Iron Armor...... Tut, not to mention those adults and little kings on the grassland, can the princes and generals of the Central Plains get a pair by hand?

Grab a pair and use it as an heirloom...... No, it's enough to be the treasure of the town! If you are lucky and grab more than 100 pairs, let's also form such an elite iron horse, and the world will not be allowed to be vertical and horizontal?

Of course, we can't be as stupid as Wang Pengju and use the baby as a grassroots.

"Wait a minute...... the leaders of the thief army ran into a wall here in Qi Zhou, and I saw this Youzhou engaged in staring directly at the place where the two armies were fighting, the joy on the corner of his mouth was still there, and his eyes were already full of shock, so that he became a little sluggish.

When everyone turned their heads in amazement, their expressions quickly became the same as Qi Zhou's, because just when they were so happy that they forgot about themselves, the battle situation changed abruptly again.

First of all, the first two rows of war horses did not stay in place after the master fell off the horse, but crashed into the spear formation of the first camp without slowing down.

This situation is actually very strange, because the wrestling between the knights and infantry on the horse should exert the force on the horse, and when the cavalry falls off the horse, the horse's center of gravity will shift, or fall to one side, or the person will stand up, or spin in place, in short, it is unlikely to continue to charge forward. Even if there are occasional exceptions, it is impossible for all horses to be unaffected.

And this time, the Qingzhou cavalry is very neat, and it is all exceptional.

The horses of the iron riders were also covered in armor, especially the front, the head, face, neck, and even the legs of the horses, all covered under metal. Moreover, the horse was blindfolded and its ears were blocked, and when the cavalry fell off the horse, it seemed to give the horse a certain amount of stimulation, so after losing the rider, the speed of the war horse did not decrease but increased, and it crashed straight into the spear formation.

There were nearly 100 people in this group of fallen horses, and hundreds of iron horses crashed into it, and the power was not much worse than that of the cavalry above, and the neat spear formation suddenly became chaotic.

And Wang Yu sacrificed the combat power of nearly 100 cavalry, in exchange for such a situation, of course, it can't just be scary, the follow-up cavalry accelerated, while following a specific route to carefully bypass the robe of the fallen horse, and then showed the real killer weapon to the enemy!
