Chapter 554 Hu Qi Chong Village
Zang Aiqin and Liu Jiao had just transferred to the shipyard, and the war broke out completely, and Liu Yu and others at the head of the city were dumbfounded, although they had guessed that the Ming army's firepower was fierce, but they did not expect that the firepower of the Ming Kingdom would be so fierce, and the big guys such as wooden donkeys and rushing cars could not be relied on at all.
These things are certainly strong in defense, but slow to act, slow action means that the time to withstand the blow is prolonged, one by one three or five stone bullets, the wooden donkey rushing the car will not be destroyed, but what about ten or so hits? And mixed with the rain of bullets, there is also thistle!
In the snow, thistles will sink into the snow, which is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, but the lethality of stepping on it does not decrease at all, which makes the travel speed even slower, and even trebuchets and bed crossbows have almost no chance to deploy!
"Hey~~" Xie Hui sighed and said enviously: "The ballista of the Ming army is indeed powerful, have you noticed it, general, five people operate, it can be fired in a few breaths, and the power is far more than that of trebuchets and bed crossbows, if we have such a sharp weapon in our army, why do we need to risk a decisive battle with the Ming army?" It's a pity, if the girl is willing! ”
Xie Hui was in a hurry, Liu Yu suddenly felt that he was in an extremely bad mood, and said with a calm face: "Although the siege equipment is useless, Hu Lu also has a fatal move, which is to charge the village with cavalry, which is unstoppable, and look at it, it is estimated that it will be used soon." ”
Everyone turned their attention to the front of the sharp cone of the Ming army camp.
Yao Xing, Tuoba Lie, Liu Bobo, Fuqu Mengxun and the bald Wei Tan all dripped blood in their hearts, they sent troops in the same proportion, and the proportion of playing forwards was the same, although Liu Yu provided equipment, but did not provide manpower. The manpower of the operation has to be out of their own, and every piece of equipment that is destroyed is accompanied by the loss of several, dozens, or even dozens of lives, counting the frustrated Meng Xun and the bald Wei Tan as one side, proportionally, the losses of each side are between one thousand and one thousand five!
The bald Wei Tan couldn't bear it anymore, and snorted coldly: "Gu Zao said that it is useless to break the village with siege equipment. It's just a matter of sending oneself to death. If this continues, none of the soldiers who fought the vanguard will survive, so it is better to quickly recall Mingjin and give full play to our strengths to charge the village with cavalry. Please make a decision! ”
Yao Xing, Tuoba Lie, Liu Bobo and Fuqu Mengxun glanced at each other. All are slightly nodding. Yao Xingmeng beckoned: "Mingjin!" ”
"Bang Bang~~" The sound of the ear-blowing gong sounded, and the soldiers in front retreated like a receding tide, and all the equipment was discarded in place. I scolded my mother while running, what bullshit, I killed so many brothers in vain!
Before all the people could retreat, Yao Xing shouted again: "Attack!" ”
"Woo woo~~" The horn sounds!
There were 20,000 horsemen in the west and south directions, gathered into a formation of fish scales, spread their hooves and rushed towards one side of the wall.
This time, the forces were not evenly distributed, due west by Qin and Xia joined forces, each with 10,000 cavalry, and due south was Wei and Erliang, with 10,000, 5,000 and 5,000 cavalry respectively, so the eyes of the five emperors and kings also looked towards their respective armies.
As soon as the cavalry was dispatched, the mountains shook immediately, Liu Yu and others gasped, although the Hu cavalry was not as strict as the formation of the Middle-earth cavalry, but there was a wildness, a rapid explosive force, which is a characteristic that the Middle-earth cavalry could not have no matter how it was trained.
Standing on the city, you can see two black dragons rushing straight forward, Yao Xing and others have carefully studied Tuoba Yi, as well as Mu Chong's battle examples with the Ming army, they summed up that in front of the Ming army, the skirmish line is useless, we must restrain the troops, concentrate on the impact of a little, to break the surface, is the best policy, this is also the experience of blood!
In the Ming army camp, Wang Zhenxi, Xu Daofu and Cui Hao, who stood on the central arrow tower, also looked solemn, two cavalry teams, each with 20,000 horses, riding and riding end to end, the total length of several miles, which also means that if Hu Cai does not collapse under the huge casualties, and can solve the problem of blocking the fallen corpses, it will be very likely to break through the village, and this battle will be extremely difficult.
Wang Zhen said in a deep voice: "Thanks to the foresight of the king, he attracted Liu Jinu to the court, so that our army has water to rely on, otherwise, if the camp stands in an open place and is surrounded and attacked by Hu Qi, I am afraid it will not last too long." ”
Xu Daofu felt the same way: "But now it's much better, Hu Qi can only attack from two sides, with more than 50,000 troops in the village, be careful enough to resist!" ”
Cui Hao's face suddenly changed: "It's here!" ”
Because of the wall, the ballista can not be used, the enemy thanks to the god arm crossbow and throwing ballista, the warriors behind the wall are in a circle, about 200 people are fan-shaped archery, each person has five people under the body to serve, after shooting one, the crossbow is handed back, take the other and continue to shoot, basically can ensure the continuous use of arrows, the stone bullet is also used intensively, with the black dragon as the center of flowering, almost every moment there are Hu cavalry or horses killed, but the speed of the cavalry running with all their strength is too fast, Hu Cai's skill of avoiding the dead corpse is also perfect, It rushed into the range of the bow and arrows.
"Whoosh~~" As soon as Hu Qi entered the shooting range, he immediately threw away the shield and shot arrows, although they only had the opportunity to shoot an arrow, but this arrow was extremely accurate, as Hu Cai went deeper, behind the wall, the casualties of the crossbowmen of the god arm were getting bigger and bigger, whenever someone fell to the ground with an arrow, someone immediately filled the position, no matter what, the arrow rain could not be interrupted!
'Throw the hook! Xu Daofu's heart tightened violently, and he resisted the urge to exclaim!
The fish scale array was parallel with ten horsemen, the most forward was close to the distance of five zhang, the first row and the second row of the remaining eight people, the bow and arrow to the side, the thick hook brush thrown, firmly grasped the wall, was about to gallop to both sides, trying to use horsepower to pull down the wall, but was shot by a continuous short arrow, even if there was a heart but powerless, can only die with hatred.
Several times in a row, the hook rope either threw the last force, or there was no chance to throw, the back of the Hu cavalry simply ruthless, horizontal and vertical are a death, even the hook rope is not thrown, the horse crashed towards the wall!
Generally speaking, the method of making the wall is to cut two rows of tree trunks first, one row is long and one row is short, the bottom of the trunk is scorched and buried in half of the soil, the long trunk is arranged in a tight row outside, the short trunk is arranged in a row inside, and the wooden plank is erected between the two rows of trunks, which is divided into two layers, so that the part of the long trunk grows becomes a parapet wall, the upper layer of the wooden board can be used for soldiers to patrol and sentry, and the lower layer can store weapons and arrows or temporarily rest.
Such a wall, strong and practical, to hook the rope to pull the inevitable with the help of the joint force of the people and the strength of the horse, and also to have skilled skills, its difficulty is no less than pulling down a tree, but directly with the horse collision and very different, the horse plus the person has a weight of more than 1,000 catties, even if the impact force under the gallop is not as good as the car, not inferior to a heavy motorcycle!
"Boom~~" There was a deafening loud sound, wood chips, human corpses, horse corpses, stumps and broken arms and weapons and arrows were all thrown into the air, and a five-zhang wide gap appeared in the wall!
Witnessing this tragic scene, and the Ming soldiers who were lucky enough to be knocked down rushed back, Liu Yu, Liu Muzhi and others who were watching the battle at the head of the city were all stunned, no one could have expected that Hu Qi would be so fierce, this is not only about seeing death as home, but the ferocity in the bones!
"Good! Attaboy! Yao Xing shouted loudly: "Order, drum cheering!" ”
The other four people were also full of excitement, breaking into the village, indicating that victory was already beckoning to them.
"Kill!" The passionate war drums accompanied by shouts and killings resounded throughout the battlefield, and Hu Qi rushed towards the gap as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and even the formation was a little unstable.
"Boom~~" was stimulated by this side, and the other side was the same, and a gap was bumped!
Two gaps! In an instant, morale boiled to the peak!
It's just that the excitement of Hu Qi who rushed into the gap has not passed, but his heart is cold, there is an open space within twenty steps behind the wall, and after twenty steps is a dense rejection of horses, with this thing, no matter how superb the riding skills are, it is useless, and what is even more chilling is that fifty steps away is a number of horizontal rows of ballistas, interspersed with crossbowmen!
"Put!" The Commander waved his flag!
"Buzz~~" The thick three-foot giant arrows shot out, hundreds of giant arrows, with a piercing scream, the horse was pierced through the chest, and shot through the knight on the back, after nailing into a string, the huge momentum strangled the horse's momentum, and the horse fell down in place!
Originally, Hu Qi avoided the corpse because the horse fell to the ground and had to rush forward for a while, and there was a time difference that could be used, but at this time, the horse fell on the spot, and there was no time to react, so they were tripped and fell to the ground!
There was a loud rumbling noise, as if there was an invisible wall blocking the front, and some of the irascible knights simply broke out of formation and tried to go around from both sides, but this only hastened their deaths.
The shouting of killing shook the sky, and the corpses on the ground were getting thicker and thicker, Liu Yu and the others could see it clearly, and couldn't help but shake their heads, Shen Linzi arched his hand and said: "General, I'm afraid that the Ming army camp will be difficult to break, and Yao Xing is limited by his line of sight, so he may not be able to see it clearly in time, so it is better to send a message to persuade Yao Xing to withdraw his troops." ”
Liu Muzhi nodded and said: "After collecting the troops first, I will think of other ways, otherwise, what will I do to fight the Ming army after all the fights?" ”
Liu Yu instructed without thinking: "Come on, quickly inform Yao Xing of the battle situation, and persuade him to withdraw his troops immediately!" ”
"Yes!" The two relatives hurried away.
It didn't take long for Yao Xing and others to receive Liu Yu's letter, and they didn't believe it at first, but after a closer look, they saw that the cavalry rushed fiercely, but the rear village of the Ming army was not chaotic at all, and it was obvious that the cavalry who rushed forward and rushed in did not achieve the expected results.
"Do you want to hold on a little longer? If you withdraw from the army at this time, you may lose it! Tuoba Lie asked unwillingly.
The bald Wei Tan followed: "Let's simply press the whole army, there will always be a time to break the village!" ”
Yao Xing hesitated: "Liu Jinu is condescending, after all, he can see it clearly, he specially told someone, and it is expected that there will be no fake." (To be continued......)
