readx; The iron chain, which has not been tested on the battlefield, ushered in its first test. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

These war monsters of steel and flesh were released from their cages with three horns.

There were only more than six hundred horsemen on such war monsters, and behind them, countless infantry on war horses were waiting to charge.

The crossbow bolts shrouded the sky like a cloud, and then fell like hail in a dense turn, falling a dark cloud, and immediately a new cloud reappeared above the heads of the Liao people.

Yun Zheng wanted to use dense physical attacks to achieve the goal of collapsing the Liao people, but this kind of arrow rain was not a fatal blow to the Liao people, although some people were constantly hit by arrows, and some people kept dying in strange postures, those Liao people hiding under the giant shield were still calm, and in the roar of the officers, they still moved forward firmly.

Sharp triangular spikes pierced the footboard, and the wounded man was immediately abandoned by his companions, and then died unhindered by the arrows.

The gunpowder bomb was thrown on the top of the giant shield, and after jumping twice, it exploded, and at the same time it was blown up by those shields that were not strong, and there was no shelter on the top of the head, and the rain of arrows came in through the loopholes, first injuring their lower limbs, and when the Liao army fell, the next injury was the abdomen and chest, and finally even the head protected by the arms was inevitably pierced through the arm by the crossbow arrow, and then penetrated the head.

The earth trembled suddenly, and the Liao army led by him had just moved the giant shield through a gap, when a crossbow arrow pierced through the head from the eye, and the moment he fell, the rest of the Liao people clearly saw that a hideous iron horse's head was rushing in the direction where he was.

The spear pierced through the muzzle of the shield for the first time, and the barrel and the shield formed a strong embankment, and after a loud bang. The giant shield in the front row was blown open by the gunpowder bomb thrown by the monster knight, and the Liao officer shouted in horror for the rest of the Liao people to go up and plug the gap, but unfortunately the time was too short, just when the shield array was about to close. Two iron-clad war horses had already drilled into the shield array, and the horse chopping knife in the knight's hand immediately set off a wave of blood in the shield array.

The war horses were connected by iron chains, and the iron chains were wrapped with the unique iron wires of the Song army, and the wires that were twisted were randomly wrapped around the iron chains, and there were countless hideous iron thorns turned out.

A Liao army was lucky enough to dodge the sword of the Iron Chain Knight, but his clothes were entangled in those thorn-like iron thorns. Before he could tear his shirt, the iron spikes burrowed into his flesh, and as the chains turned, the thorns tore through his muscles under his flesh, and he could only scream and run backwards as the chains carried him.

"The Iron Ring has broken through! Then go ahead and shoot the arrows! ”

Yun Zheng stood on the car and saw that Tie Lianhuan had already entered the queue of the Liao, and had made a mess of the Liao's military formation. He coldly ordered the monkey.

The monkey shook the yellow flag in his hand, and the crossbowmen of the Song army, who were hiding behind the ice wall, once again raised the crossbow obliquely into the sky under the officer's order, and after a buzz, the clouds reappeared, and the crossbow arrows fell into the Liao army again like locusts.

The bolts landed on the shoulders of the Iron Chain, and they didn't seem to feel it, the bolts that fell from the sky only struck their armor and then slipped. The crossbow bolt fell on the head and neck of the war horse, and the back of the hip and fell to the ground helplessly. This free-falling bolt is useless against heavily armored iron chains.

The Liao people who had no shields to cover them suffered heavy casualties, and the leather armor on their bodies was not much different from the paper paste under the crossbow arrows deliberately weighted by the Song army, and even the iron helmets on their heads could not effectively guarantee their safety.

Five years ago, at the suggestion of the master craftsman Yunyue, the Great Song General Supervisor found that once the crossbow arrows fell in a spiral, the damage to the soldiers would be more than double that of the soldiers flying down. If you want the bolt to spiral down, the only thing that needs to be improved is the arrow. It is enough to change the arrow from a triangle to a triangular shape.

Crossbow arrows fell from the air with a peculiar creeping sound, and the sharp triangular arrows first pierced a bit of the leather armor. Then the spiral force will naturally send the crossbow arrows into the flesh and blood of the Liao people until the strength is exhausted.

After three rounds of crossbow arrows, Tie Lianhuan had completely rushed into the Liao army. Until the power of the war horses is not exhausted, they will not stop attacking.

"Let's ride out, this time it's speed!"

Yun Zheng gave an order to the monkey again, and the monkey immediately waved the red flag in his hand.

Because of Yun Zheng's stopping, Han Niu, who didn't have the opportunity to attack with the iron chain, couldn't bear it anymore, and when he saw the monkey waving the red flag, he rushed straight towards the Liao army's position like an enraged bull.

Seeing the light cavalry rushing out, the crossbow archers had a chance to fall to the ground, from the early morning until now, their covering shooting has not stopped, and now even if the crossbow has a power assist system, their hands are shaking like autumn leaves at this moment.

After Tian Dahu got out from under a tattered shield, he roared and cursed the crossbow archers on his side, just now, he saw his three brothers being shot alive by his own crossbow arrows, this kind of indiscriminate attack, not just the bastard's order, he decided to go back to the camp and have a good theory with that bastard, if possible, he would definitely let that bastard know the power of his fists.

Standing in his position, he could clearly see that the life of the heavy cavalry was not easy, the Liao people threw the rope into a big circle, and then accurately lassoed the knight on the war horse, more than a dozen people pulled hard, and the knight on the horse fell from the war horse, and then he couldn't get up like a turtle, and was stabbed into it by the Liao people from the gap in the armor and lost his life, of course, more heavy cavalry chose to pull the gunpowder bullet hanging on their body at the moment they landed, and then turned into minced meat after a loud bang, At the same time, countless Liao people who wanted to grab credit were killed, and the war horse under the knight's crotch was carried by the iron chain and continued to kill the depths of the Liao army's military array.

The heavy cavalry finally killed the front army of the Liao, and suddenly there was no enemy in front of them, just when they were about to cheer, the marquis led by the army neighed in despair, urging the tired war horse to continue to rush forward.

Just fifty zhang away from them, he saw that countless trebuchets were ready to be fired, and the huge eight-bull crossbow, which was not many of the Liao people, had already thrown the crossbow guns as thick as the barrel of a gun.

The thick crossbow spear brutally tore apart the armor of the Song army, and by the way, it also tore apart their bodies, those not sharp blades, driven by the strength of the eight-bull crossbow, but had more cruel characteristics, the Song army marquis did not have time to react more, the war horse just ran out of five zhang away, and the boulder weighing one hundred and ten catties had already fallen from the sky.

Junhou's head shattered at the first moment, and then his body and the war horse under his crotch were smashed to pieces by the boulder, and the man and the war horse could no longer be distinguished.

The heavy cavalry, who was lucky enough not to die, continued to drag a piece because of the iron chain, or the body of a group of comrades rushed towards the Liao army in despair.

Fifty zhang, the end of the world!

The Liao's eight-bull crossbow was unhurriedly cast, and the Liao's trebuchet stretched out its cantilever again and again, throwing the boulder onto their heads, whether it was a eight-bull crossbow gun or a trebuchet, at this time the blow to the Song people's iron chain was fatal.

The heavy armor that didn't care about the attack of the crossbow arrows at all was torn apart by the Eight Ox crossbows, smashed flat by boulders, and finally separated from their flesh and blood.

The result of their brave battle was to throw three gunpowder bombs onto the Liao people's catapults, and after a burst of fireworks, the two tall catapults shattered to the ground, and more than 800 Song heavy horsemen did not survive!

Chen Lin, who was standing on a high place, slapped his thigh hatefully, and where he was standing, he could clearly see how those heavy cavalry were all wiped out, and his heart was dripping blood at this moment.

As a supervising army, he clearly knows how much effort Yun Zheng has put into forming this heavy cavalry, the war horses under the crotch of the heavy cavalry are the strongest war horses carefully selected from the hundreds of thousands of war horses in the whole army, and the iron armor on their bodies is also modified repeatedly according to the infantry armor, in order to reduce the weight of the knights, even the horse chopping knives they hold in their hands are made of the best steel, and the purpose of this is to reduce the weight of the horse chopping swords.

A heavy cavalry, which cost nearly 400 pieces of state money, is now wiped out after only appearing on the battlefield for half an hour.

In contrast, Wang Anshi was much quieter, looking at the big Song light rider who was cutting melons and vegetables by leaps and bounds, he sat on the chair and sighed: "For the first time, the old man feels that Yun Zheng's extravagant expenses are reasonable.

Eight hundred heavy cavalry can divide the dense Liao army's front army, and then be slaughtered by the light cavalry that followed closely, this account is appropriate.

The old man even thought that if there were another 3,000 more iron chains in this way, just they would be able to completely crush the front army of the Liao army. ”

Chen Lin was furious at this moment, pointed to the Liao army trebuchet in the distance and said: "We can all see the Liao army's ambush there, can't he see Yun Zheng, the old man thinks that he deliberately put those iron chains to death." ”

Wang Anshi smiled bitterly and said: "Gong Chen, when the iron chain goes to the battlefield, it can only move forward and not retreat, their thirty horses are tied together by iron chains, if they want to turn around, they need to stop, and they also need a lot of space, this is the death determined by the characteristics of the troops, what does it have to do with Yun Shuai?" Yun Shuai just released this army at the right time and in the right place. ”

Chen Lin quieted down, his body stopped trembling, and said weakly: "These soldiers Yun Zheng had dinner with them five days ago, some talked and laughed, and he didn't hesitate to send them to die today." ”

Wang Anshi shook his head and said, "So Yun Zheng is an undefeated general of the Great Song Dynasty, you and I are not!" (To be continued)
