"Despicable."
Li Yu and Guo Yan scolded angrily, and the weapons in their hands were blocked, worthy of being veterans of a hundred battles, and they managed to dodge the two killing forces attacked by Gan Ning and Xu Huang again.
As soon as the words fell, one by one the crossbow guns shuttled in again, the void hummed, and each wave of ten ballista carts shot ten sharp spears.
The crossbow spear was specially made by the Craftsmen of the United States, and the body was short, and the head of the spear had the ability to break through the cone, enough to easily shoot through the delicate armor.
Li Yu and Guo Yan's faces changed slightly, and they couldn't help but curse in their hearts, there was such a killing weapon hidden in this patio closed.
The cost of a ballista is enough to compare with twenty hard crossbows, and although the ballista will be more flexible than the ramming car and trebuchet, it also has many limitations, mostly used to consolidate the defense of the city wall, the cost is so high, many warlords with a little money would rather invest their money in the casting of a strong crossbow than a high price to equip a ballista, it is because of his singleness.
However, in any case, since the ballista has been developed, it still has his advantages for military use.
Its powerful shooting ability is enough to make people feel terrified.
Compared with crossbow arrows, the ballista shoots not small cone broken arrows, but cone broken guns, which can be shot over by an adult elephant, let alone a human.
Three waves of offensives, 30 cone breaking guns, and nearly 100 lives were brutally ended.
There is no exaggeration, and it is not exaggerated.
Ballista is so powerful.
Its singularity is unsatisfying.
Its powerful range and lethality are reluctant to abandon it.
Even people like Yuan Shang, who attached great importance to armaments and equipment, also only allocated some for the major fortresses, and even some of the larger cities did not have them.
Ballista strikes. It's not just about the lethality. It's more about the powerful deterrent.
Its firing intensity. There are thousands of pounds, which is not within the reach of manpower.
It is precisely because of the lethality it exerts that it is beyond the reach of human beings, which is even more shocking.
People can not be afraid of anything, lions and tigers are not afraid, and even sharks and crocodiles can be killed and steamed, but for things that are countless times stronger than themselves, they are often afraid to death.
Li Yu and Guo Yan's martial arts have surpassed the extreme of first-class generals, and they are not inferior to Gan Ning and Xu Huang. But he was still shocked by the ballista, and his face changed drastically.
After years of habit, their bodies have been tempered like a rock.
Even so, they didn't dare to use their rock-like bodies to resist the cone breaking.
That's going to kill you.
In the arsenal inside the patio pass, there are bundles of cone breaking guns.
Compared to the ballista, the cost of the cone-breaking gun is already negligible.
Bundles are thrown away in armory, and if they are not used, they will one day rust.
Therefore, Wang Chang did not hesitate to order someone to carry it out, just to entertain this group of guests from Guanzhong.
Human life at this moment is almost a mustard.
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which was already slightly chaotic in the lineup, was even more violently hit.
Formation riots. The soldiers and horses collided with each other, looking down from a high place. Like the poisonous snake that bites each other.
This is a good opportunity, Xu Huang and Gan Ning will naturally not let it go.
And Li Yu and Guo Yan have changed their faces greatly.
After so many years in the army, if they can't see the bad things in their own camp, then the two of them will live in vain.
"Steady, steady." Li Yu waved his halberd and shouted angrily.
Li Xian is Li Yu's nephew, relying on Li Yu's connections and personal ability, he is already a captain of the Overseer Army at a young age.
Li Yu was entangled by Gan Ning, and he was one of the generals under his command.
Steady, Li Yu's angry shout clearly reached his ears.
Li Xian could only smile bitterly, he also knew that if he wanted to be stable, the key was to be stable?
The black-armored Bingzhou tiger wolf did not live up to the word wolf in his name, and he really knew the wolf nature, constantly cruising and poking out his fangs from time to time, and the formation formed by the 50,000 Xiliang army was chaotic and chaotic.
This is not the point, after all, the strength of the tiger wolf in the state is insufficient, that is, the weak point is cruising, and it only eats a small number of troops.
What really caused the chaos of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry formation was the ballista above the pass.
The sharp cone breaking spear is too terrifying, even people and horses can be killed in one blow, this is not the most terrifying, its remaining strength, at least two or three war horses, for the formation of the Xiliang cavalry, it is definitely more crisp and effective than the 10,000 tiger wolves.
Although Wang Chang took the civilian line, he also served the power of warlords such as Bingzhou, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, he still more or less understood the methods of cavalry combat.
Therefore, Wang Chang did not hesitate to make a ruthless move.
Those ten ballistae were more effective than trebuchets, and they were definitely a powerful disruptive to the formation of the Xiliang cavalry.
Bundles of broken cone guns were carried out, and Wang Chang looked indifferently at the Xiliang cavalry who gradually began to riot, this scholar, his heart was terrifyingly hard at the moment.
Wang Chang never shouted to stop, and the soldiers who pulled the strings and launched at the pass naturally did not dare to stop.
This is a strength job, and I really can't pull it a few times without a certain amount of strength.
Dozens of waves of cone breaking guns have gone, and the busy soldiers have already changed the second batch.
The war continues.
Xu Huang and Gan Ning, and even Wang Chang have never underestimated the Xiliang Iron Horse.
Even if it began to decline, their combat quality is still admirable.
On one side is the almost cunning sniping of the tiger wolf in Bingzhou, and on the other side, there is the cone breaking gun that is shot all over the world, if it is an ordinary prince's soldiers and horses, it will have already been messed up, and the Xiliang cavalry is only a little rioty, far from reaching the point of collapse.
At this point, Wang Chang sighed a little.
can support Dong Zhuo to fight against the people of the world, and the Xiliang Iron Horse really lives up to its reputation.
Xu Huang and Gan Ning did not hesitate to shoot at Li Yu and Guo Yan, many people gathered on both sides, the guards on both sides were killed until their eyes were red, the white knife went in and the red knife came out, and after a while, they suffered heavy casualties, mostly the tragic scene of dying together, compared to the battle between the four peak generals on both sides, it was more direct and cruel.
Li Yu's hand wielding the knife was still a little trembling, and a blood line also bloomed from Gan Ning's tiger mouth on the opposite side, both sides were fighting for their lives, if you look carefully at the ghost-faced broadsword in Li Yu's hand, you will find that there have been traces of potholes on it one after another.
Li Yu's ghost-faced broadsword weighs seventy pounds, with his martial arts, the weapon is naturally required to break high, and the divine blade that comes out of a hundred hammers is not only first-class material, but also the world's top master craftsman tailor-made for it, with him on the battlefield for 20 years, but there is a tendency to destroy it today, from this point, it can be seen that the two fought fiercely.
"Again."
Xu Huang also shouted angrily, those tiger eyes were haunted by the scorching battle intent, the mountain axe opened widely, and it was extremely domineering, and Guo Yan, who was holding a halberd on the opposite side, did not hesitate to meet him.
The roar resounded, and within twenty steps of the four of them fighting, no one dared to approach.
That kind of fluctuation means that the weeds on the ground are ravaged, bare, dusty, and the ground is pitted, or the horse's hooves have trampled footprints one by one.
At this time, the Xiliang army gradually lost the control of Li Xian and other generals, and began to have large-scale riots, and there was a loophole in the command of Guo Ming, the only son of Guo Yan, and was suddenly seized by the tiger wolf of Bingzhou, and devoured thousands of people fiercely.
If a war knife pierced the enemy's arm, although the 10,000 roaming Bingzhou tiger wolves did not shake the heart of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, they also bit off one of the opponent's arms, and the damage of five or six thousand people brought about a riot in the cavalry attack array, and the left flank was lost, and the Chinese army could not be alone.
Xiliangjun is really messed up this time.
Li Xian and Guo Ming are still too tender, and they can't quickly shake the center like Li Yu and Guo Yan, especially a more elite soldier and horse of the Bingzhou Tiger Wolf took the opportunity to intervene and slash and kill, directly threatening the lives of Li Xian and Guo Ming.
The chaos was revealed, the command center of the Chinese army was destroyed by the tiger wolf of Bingzhou, and 10,000 black-armored cavalry rushed through, and at a distance of several hundred meters, two or three thousand horses fell off their horses.
The remaining six or seven thousand horsemen strangled the neck of the Xiliang army and pushed the opponent to a stagger, just like a child knocking over an adult, and the difference between the front and back was completely unsufficiency.
Li Yu and Guo Yan's faces changed drastically, this time they really couldn't take care of Xu Huang and Gan Ning, they shook their opponents one after another, and as far as the eye could see, they were chaotic and disorganized their own soldiers and horses.
A full 50,000 people were turned off by the tiger wolves of Bingzhou, who only had 10,000.
As for Li Xian and Guo Ming, they were already under the escort of their respective personal guards, and were chased and beaten by the elite soldiers composed of more than a dozen old brothers under Gan Ning, and they looked extremely embarrassed.
"There is not enough success, and there is more than failure." Li Yu shouted angrily, glanced at Guo Yan, and the two abandoned their opponents without hesitation and went to their own troops.
"Kill."
Xu Huang and Gan Ning roared one after another, and on the pass, Wang Chang, who had been paying attention to the changes in the battle, also gave the order to attack.
Only less than 500 soldiers remained, and the remaining more than 2,000 elite soldiers opened the city to kill.
The defeat was like a mountain, and the screams were endless.
In this battle, it was until the sky was dark, and there were less than 3,000 people left in the 10,000 tiger wolves and the defenders of the pass, while less than half of the 50,000 Xiliang troops finally escaped from the state.
Throwing away the armor and abandoning the blood, this battle really hurt the Xiliang Army, and similarly, the damage of the tiger and wolf in Bingzhou was not small, plus the defenders of the pass, nearly 10,000 elite soldiers were killed in the whole battle.
The wooden frame has long been erected, and the tung oil has been spilled.
The raging flames soared into the air, and the corpses turned to ashes, scattered with the gentle breeze.
Xu Huang and Gan Ning sighed softly, this is war.
A few people survived, a few people returned.
The more than 2,800 people who could still stand up all looked sad.
Let's go.
That's the only thing they can say. (To be continued......)
