Chapter 890: Hob Chariot vs. Hongyi Cannon!
Three hundred hob chariots stopped less than two hundred meters away from the Han army, which was already the limit of the range of bows and arrows.
The 200,000 Persian army stopped marching, and the sand and dust from the march rose into the air.
The Persian emperor sat on a luxurious chariot in the middle, looking out at the equally mighty Han army opposite.
A Persian military commander marched out on horseback, with high spirits, and they were the most elite legion of the Persian emperor: "I am ordered by the king of kings to invade the king's land, and you should be punished!" ”
There was a slight wavering in the Han army.
The opposite Persian Emperor has the trait "King of Kings", which has a suppressive effect on most generals and legions!
King of kings, the honorific title of Emperor of Persia!
This is probably the most powerful trait of the Persian civilization, on the same level as Alexander's "King's Army".
The Han Empire had similar characteristics.
In fact, the "Children of the Plane" have also reached the level of "King of Kings".
The only difference is that the King of Kings has the strongest suppression effect, while the Children of the Plane has the strongest luck effect.
Chu Tian could feel his body trembling.
The characteristics of the King of Kings actually had an effect on Chu Tian.
This is extremely rare.
Chu Tian has the characteristics of "Heavenly Khan", and he is already immune to the coercion of most emperors, even Temujin's "Genghis Khan" cannot make Chu Tian feel fear from the bottom of his heart.
Then there can only be one reason.
The effect of the King of Kings is to suppress the enemy army and has the highest level of suppression effect.
Legions of Wu Qi's level of commander were inevitably suppressed by the "King of Kings", resulting in small-scale restlessness.
"There are many Persian emperors, but there are only a handful of people who can really be called kings of kings."
Chu Tian rode on the Jueying, occupied a low hill, and felt the pressure.
For the first time, he wanted to avoid the army of kings, not fight.
The army on the opposite side seems to have more than 100,000 troops. Chu Tian clearly saw that the Persian army was almost half-moon shaped, because the Persians had more troops, and both the width and depth of the frontal front were more exaggerated.
Even if Chu Tian wanted to avoid it, it was not that simple.
The opponent is one of the legendary kings who appeared during the national war, and he doesn't care about losses at all, and is the enemy of all the lords who enter the battlefield of the national war.
The Persian Emperor ruled the region, and Chutian's Han army just entered the territory of the Persian Emperor.
On the battlefields of the Fifth War of Nations, each Legendary King and their Praetorian Guard rule over a region and attack enemies who enter the territory.
The wind swept again, the yellow sand filled the air, and the gold decoration on the outside of the chariot shone with a sheen.
The hob chariot, a very typical Persian chariot.
The time of the existence of the First Persian Empire is equivalent to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China, and the chariot is also the main force in the Central Plains.
The disc chariot differed in the sharp blades on the axles, which would harvest the opposing infantry or strangle the horses when the chariot charged the enemy line.
According to the hob chariot, Chu Tian knew that the army on the opposite side was from the Persian civilization.
"This battle doesn't seem to be so easy to ......"
Wu Qi's hand was pressed on the long sword, and it was not easy to face the army of the King of Kings, and the strength of the opposite side was still twice that of the Han army.
The only good news is that although the Persian army is twice as strong as the Han army, the Han army is all elite, and the Persian army has many auxiliaries.
"If the army on the opposite side is all high-level troops, then it will be too difficult."
Chu Tian could only comfort himself like this.
The difficulty of 200,000 high-level troops is completely different from the combination of tens of thousands of high-level troops and hundreds of thousands of low-level troops.
"Maybe it's Cyrus the Great, who founded the Persian Empire, or Darius I, who calls himself 'King of kings' and 'King of all nations'...... More like Darius I. Either way, it seems a bit tricky. ”
Summer Liang had already done his homework before participating in the national war.
"Darius I, who provoked the war between Greece and Persia?"
Chutian knew that Darius the Great, a Persian emperor with a personality similar to Qin Shi Huang, used military conquest as a means to launch eighteen great wars in one year, quelling imperial rebellions and attempting to conquer ancient Greece.
"If it's Darius I, then let him see the legions of the East. It's time to scrap the hob chariot. ”
Chutian wasn't entirely afraid of Darius I.
No class is invincible.
The most powerful army of war elephants, with all kinds of shortcomings.
A combination of heavy infantry and light infantry, the vine armor was afraid of fire attacks.
The power of the Hongyi cannon is extremely poor, and it is extremely dependent on shells, without shells, the Hongyi cannon is a pile of broken copper and iron.
As the main force of the Spring and Autumn Period, the chariot was gradually replaced by infantry and cavalry during the Warring States Period, which shows that the shortcomings are very obvious.
"My lord, there is a small group of cavalry, ambushing in the nearby dunes, about a few hundred horsemen."
Mulan's warhawk spotted a cavalry of several hundred men.
"Could it be the elite cavalry of Darius I, the king of kings, trying to storm our home camp in one fell swoop when both sides of the frontal battlefield are exhausted?"
Before Chu Tian fought with Darius I, he suddenly found that outside the main battlefield, there was a small group of cavalry in ambush, and immediately took precautions.
Generally speaking, the smaller the number, the more likely it is to be the best of the best.
There are only more than 1,000 Iron Eagle Warriors, and there are only more than 1,000 Xuanjia Army.
The best of these elites are used for raids and breakdowns.
If the cavalry in ambush on the outskirts of the battlefield is the elite cavalry of Darius I, then it may be the eighth-order cavalry, or the ninth-order cavalry.
It's just that in the time of Darius I, the Persian Empire should not have cavalry more than the eighth order.
The Holy Fall Cavalry was a member of the Second Persian Empire, and Darius I was the king of the First Persian Empire. The chariot also shows that the 200,000 Persian army in front of you is the First Persian Empire, that is, the legion of the classical era.
The Second Persian Empire, on the other hand, was an empire in the Middle Ages, and basically no longer used chariots with hobs.
"What the hell is going on?"
Chu Tian asked Yang Dayan to command the ninth-order Xuanjia army in the Iron Cavalry Legion, guarding against hundreds of cavalry who might surprise the formation at any time.
On the periphery of the battlefield where the Han army and the Persian army confronted each other, a camel cavalry of about 500 people peeked into the entire battlefield.
"It's ...... The armor and battle flags of the Han Empire in the East...... And on the other side are the Persians......"
Abu Abu, an Arab Empire general, witnessed two powerful legions facing each other.
The Arabs are no strangers to the Persians, because the Arab Empire borders the Persian Empire, and the two sides are like fire and water.
As for the relationship between the Arab Empire and the Han Empire, it was neither an enemy nor a friend.
"Let's fight, let's take advantage of the fisherman, it seems that there is a good show to watch."
Abu sat on the wall and watched.
The Han Empire is at war with the Persian Empire's National War NPC Legion, which is a good opportunity for the praying mantis to catch cicadas and the yellow finch to follow.
Whichever of two equally powerful civilizations wins, both will lose.
"This is also an opportunity to observe the strength of the Han Empire. I heard that there are still several big lords in the Han Empire, but I don't know if it is the first lord who is fighting against the Persian army, 'I just want to farm well', or 'Tongque Chun Shen Suo Er Qiao'. Strange, why are the names of the lords of the Han Empire so awkward? ”
As a general of the Arab Empire, Abu would not help either side, and he wished to see the Han Empire and the Persian army die together.
The Umayyad caliph of the Arab Empire, as the player lord, needs as much exploits as possible.
If the NPC legions of the Han Empire and the Persian Empire are all annihilated, the lord of the Arab Empire, the Umayyad, will obtain unimaginable military exploits and rank among the forefront.
"General, since they have lined up and have no way to retreat, there will definitely be a battle."
"Brothers, go back and report to the Caliph, and ask him to come and clean up the mess with a large army. This time I'm going to make a difference. ”
There was a bit of greed in Abu's eyes.
The Eagle soars through the air, and the Iron Eagle Scouts focus on the battle against Darius I of Persia.
The invincible king of kings did not say much, and under the gaze of the ancient Persian generals, the Persian emperor waved his hand, and the Persian army except for the reserve army launched an attack on the Han army.
The NPC legions of the National War do not think about any consequences, their purpose is only to destroy the enemy who enters their territory, no matter what tactics or cost, they must destroy them!
The front of the Han army had a wall composed of grain wagons, and the hob chariots of the Persian Empire chose to storm the flanks, planning to crush the Han cavalry, and then storm the infantry phalanx from the flanks.
The main infantry of the Han army was Wei Wushu, commanded by Wu Qi, and 8,000 silver spears to serve the Jiejie army.
On the left and right, Hua Mulan commanded the Iron Eagle Scout, Xue Rengui commanded the white-robed army, and the white horse righteous servants, all of whom were light cavalry.
Geng Yi commanded 10,000 Youzhou cavalry, and Chu Tian commanded 20,000 iron cavalry, assembled in the rear, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.
The cool Shenji battalion in summer was on the left, while Mu Guiying's Jianyan crossbowmen were on the right.
The Chutian forces are rich, and Wei Wushu, who is the backbone, is also equipped with a divine arm bow.
On the battlefield, the murderous atmosphere is pervasive.
The hob chariot launched an offensive, the ground trembled, and the sand and dust rose again!
The two hundred hob charioteers are divided into two roads, which is very visually impactful and shocking!
"Let the King of kings of Persia see that times have changed. Use the Hongyi cannon and reload it with solid bullets. If the chariots break the formation, let them in. ”
Chu Tian squinted his eyes because of the sand and dust that permeated from time to time.
It is true that the chariot is very brutal, but times have changed, and there are weapons that are even more brutal than the chariot.
In the summer, on the left side, the musketeers of the Shenji battalion, under the protection of a long spearman and the Iron Eagle scouts, lined up in a phalanx, while the Hongyi cannon was placed at the front, the gunners used their rams to fill the breech with black powder and solid shells, the fuse was ready, and the other gunner held the torch.
Chutian only had a pitiful number of cannonballs, but he thought that Darius I, the king of kings, would be enough to deter Persia.
Xia Liang, as Chu Tian's most trusted person, was in charge of the trembling firearms army.
Summer Liang has the characteristics of two firearms - "black powder" and "three-stage strike", and the bonus to the firearms corps is higher than any of the current generals in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Three hundred chariots with hobs, of which one hundred chariots did not move, and one hundred chariots each attacked the flanks of the Han army.
A hundred chariots hit the left army composed of Cool Summer and Mulan!
The cold muzzle of the Hongyi cannon was aimed at the frontal onslaught.
Persian archers on chariots bend their bows and arrows!
The gunners light the arquebus, and the black powder burns violently!
Rumble!
With a loud bang, the earth shook and the mountains shook!
In front of two armies and 300,000 people, a solid bullet hit a chariot with hobs, the chariot was splashed with broken wood, and the Persian soldiers on the chariot were killed instantly!
A solid bullet hit the war horse of another hob chariot, and the bones of the war horse broke and fell to the ground with a bang!
The chariot lost its horse drag, quickly lost control, deviated from the direction, and crashed into the chariot on the left! The blade of the axle slices through the compartment of another chariot, tearing a shocking opening!
The originally neat chariot formation was disrupted because of the ten solid bullets with almost no direct angle of bevel, three of which were directly destroyed, two of the combat workshops were affected, and the Persian infantry who followed the chariot forward, more than ten casualties.
"Replace the shotgun!"
The Gunner's next round will be a shot of splash damage at close range!
