Chapter 91: Miserable
"First row...... Salvo! ”
"Bang bang bang!"
With the wave of the flag, the soldiers behind the ballista slammed on the trigger, and then hundreds of huge crossbow arrows flew out, and in the blink of an eye, they had rushed into the cavalry front formation on the opposite side.
Burst!
A crossbow arrow pierced the body of a Qin army's iron horseman, and smashed directly on the body of the second person with him, and for a while, three or four people behind him turned on their backs because they couldn't react.
Although every arrow in this salvo was successful, it was not much damage to the entire cavalry phalanx, after all, the number of crossbow arrows was too small, and the enemy was too many.
Looking at those comrades who were trampled to death by the war horses after being shot down, the entire Qin army was depressed and silent, but the spurs under their feet were desperately beating the horse's belly, constantly accelerating.
This time, Li Chenfeng brought a total of 500 crossbow carts, a total of five rows, after the first row was fired, the second row was already in place, and the command flag in the hand of the flag officer next to him was also raised high again.
"Huh!"
The command flag was waved, and another row of hundreds of crossbow arrows flew out, then the third, fourth, and fifth rows.
These ballistae, while powerful, are very cumbersome to reload, so they are basically disposable.
Li Chenfeng stood on the chariot and watched the battlefield in front of him, the five rows of ballista carts caused no more than two thousand losses to the Qin army, which basically had no impact on the combat effectiveness of the cavalry with a scale of 10,000 people.
However, his purpose was not to inflict damage on the other party, but to stop the terrifying impact of the heavy cavalry!
The heavy cavalry that completely charged, in this kind of battlefield, is comparable to a small tank, and just one charge can completely crush the current Wei army's array.
When the infantry faces the cavalry, the first and most important thing is not to let the opponent get up!
Because of the ballista, almost all of the Qin troops who rushed in front were shot off their horses, which caused chaos in the follow-up troops of the Qin army, and the speed inevitably slowed down.
But Li Chenfeng's methods are more than these.
After the ballista retreated back to its own formation, the heavily armed Wei Wushu stepped forward again, and then began to press forward step by step with the shouting and cheering.
At the same time, at the rear of the military formation.
"Trebuchet, put!"
"Crash!"
The hook was knocked open, and the arm bounced upward, driving the basin-sized stones into the air.
"Woooooo
The sergeants of the Wei army all heard the sound of breaking the air from the sky overhead, and smashed into the opponent's formation in an arc across the sky.
Trebuchet!
This thing exists in the Seven Kingdoms and is a masterpiece of the Mohist technique. Not only the trebuchet, but even the two well guards and the four siege vehicles prepared by Li Chenfeng were all the handiwork of the former Mo family.
However, these are large siege engines, and like bed crossbows, they are rarely used in such field warfare situations.
One of the big reasons is that these things are so big that they are usually taken apart and reassembled when they need to be used.
In this case, there is no time to prepare for a field encounter, so it is almost useless.
And now Li Chenfeng is using a small catapult that he specially brought from the Fengyun World, which is convenient to carry and does not have much damage in range, although the stones thrown are a little smaller, but it is just right to use it in this situation for the purpose of disrupting the opponent's formation.
"Accelerate! Hasten! ”
Looking at the riots that took place behind him, and even the fact that many soldiers collided with each other because they couldn't control the war horses they were sitting on, Meng Xi was also a little anxious in his heart.
He knew that no matter what happened, he couldn't stop, otherwise their 10,000 cavalry wouldn't want to curry favor with the other party's tens of thousands of troops.
What's more, the Wei military soldiers were originally famous all over the world, and they were also the only existing armies in various countries that could be compared with the Great Qin Iron Cavalry.
So he didn't dare to imagine what would happen to his cavalry after losing its strongest advantage!
Finally, two torrents of steel collided together!
Rumble!
A spear was stuck diagonally on the ground, and behind it was Wei Wushu, with the big shield as the fulcrum, holding the gun together, looking at the cavalry that was speeding up.
Rulin's spear was aimed squarely at the enemy, and when the horse collided inexorably, there was a crash and neighing.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
The force of the impact hit the tip of the spear, and the force was immediately transmitted, and the spear was sharply arched, and then it broke.
"Poof!"
Wei Wushu, who was holding the gun, was suddenly blown away, and even if he was wearing heavy armor, blood was still spurting out in mid-air.
The Qin army's iron cavalry on horseback suffocated, and the people also flew out, and were strung into a gourd by the spears behind.
Meng Xi, who was originally used as an arrow in the arrow array, couldn't stop the momentum at this time, sat down and was directly stabbed by the spear, and he himself saw the opportunity to fly into the air in advance to avoid being strung into a gourd by the spear.
The Wei soldiers in the first row suffered the greatest losses, and almost all of them died with the opposing Qin army. Although it was tragic, their mission was accomplished.
Looking at the completely entangled Qin army, Li Chenfeng raised the Snow Spirit Sword and swung it down fiercely......
In an instant, all the Wei warriors began to surround the Qin army in a semicircle, and Mei Sanniang, who was the chief general of the 20,000 Wei warriors, no longer had the previous panic at this time, but rushed to the front line, the sickle in his hand kept waving, and the heads rose to the sky!
Li Chenfeng, who was also constantly harvesting the Qin army, didn't expect that this Mei Sanniang would be so crazy when she really arrived on the battlefield.
Relying on the armor on her body and the invulnerability of the supreme hardness, Mei Sanniang completely ignored Qin Jun's long sword and spear, often after others cut her body, and the sickle in her hand also cut off the opponent's head.
This kind of lose-lose style of play instantly made her empty all the enemies around her, and even Wei Wushu on her side did not dare to approach her, lest she be taken away by this woman who had already killed madness.
This battle lasted for nearly an hour, and when Li Chenfeng felt that he could no longer find the soldiers of the Qin army in front of him, he slowly woke up from the killing.
Looking around, except for small battles in some places, most of the Wei warriors had already eliminated the enemies in front of them.
The entire battlefield was filled with a strong smell of blood for thousands of meters, and it seemed that the sun in the sky was dyed red by this blood.
"General! Are you alright? ”
A hoarse voice came, and Li Chenfeng turned his head to look at it.
I saw a figure completely drowning in blood standing next to him.
After looking hard for a while, I realized that it turned out to be Mei Sanniang......
At this time, she couldn't see her original appearance at all, the original vermilion Suzaku armor was completely soaked in blood at this time, and even her originally delicate and beautiful face was not spared.
