Chapter Eighty-Six: The Iron Float
Obtaining a talent like Cai Xu, Qin Fan is indeed a great luck, but this is also part of his strength, after all, if he wasn't the first to conquer Fengzhou, he wouldn't have been able to get the Anecdotal Scroll. As for this enlightenment, it depends on the spirit of the individual.
Cai Xu's two active skills can be said to be quite useful, one skill is long-distance teleportation, not to mention, the second is obviously an aerial reconnaissance skill, and the dark wolf of Xinglong forms an air-ground reconnaissance network, which can be said to allow Qin Fan to better control the battle situation and anticipate the enemy's opportunities.
"Ding! Your fiefdom of Toyosu is under attack! ”
Qin Fan was taking a closer look at Cai Xu's attributes, when suddenly a system prompt shocked him.
"Not good! Toyosu is in danger! ”
Qin Fan hurriedly opened the three-dimensional map, only to see a heavy cavalry of tens of thousands of people outside Fengzhou City attacking the cavalry troops of Yue Ziyun and Xiao Xie.
This heavy cavalry is a type of army that Qin Fan has never seen before, they all use horses in their hands, they are wearing fine iron skirt armor from the waist to the calf, and the upper body is wearing heavy armor made of pieces of fine iron inlaid and sewn, and they are wearing iron helmets on their heads that only show a pair of eyes.
From top to bottom, the war horse is almost covered with mask armor from head to tail, and it looks like its defense is so strong that it has a powerful impact.
"What kind of heavy cavalry is this!" Qin Fan was stunned.
"Childe, let's go back, the Yun Kun I have now transformed can carry a hundred people at the same time."
"Well, just try the feeling of teleporting for the first time in the game!"
As soon as Qin Fan's voice fell, Cai Xu waved into the air, then closed his eyes and concentrated, and then a cloud turned into a whale in the sea, with a body length of dozens of zhang.
The cloud kun was like a fish swimming into the water towards the mountain, and vaguely could even hear the cry of the empty ghost, and then the three of them were wrapped in clouds and mist, only to feel that the feet were hanging in the air, the body was light, there was a strong wind blowing under the feet, and then in a blink of an eye, the three of them appeared directly in the Fengzhou Mansion Courtyard.
"That feels so good, doesn't it?" Qin Fan couldn't imagine that a few days ago, he and Ji Bing waded through mountains and rivers for more than ten days before they arrived in Haiyuan, and now they are back in an instant, and this feeling is estimated to be something that the four Tang monks and apprentices can understand.
As soon as Qin Fan appeared in the Zhizhou Mansion, Xinglong came.
"Childe! Outside the city were reinforcements from Datong Mansion, trying to regain Fengzhou, this group of cavalry defense was extremely high, and Yue Ziyun's lancers could hardly help them! Right now, Xiao Xie's Golden Fire Cavalry is engaged in a battle with it! ”
Qin Fan hurriedly rushed to the city gate, and only then did he see the attributes of these heavy cavalry, which turned out to be the extremely famous super heavy cavalry in the history of the Jin Dynasty: Tiefutu!
Tiefutu is known for its heavy protective armor and terrifying defense and destructive power formed by cluster charges, and is often a deadly presence in field battles. However, the number of Iron Floats in history is only a minority, and this 10,000 Iron Floats has exceeded the real number.
"It's still a game, after all!"
What's more, these Iron Floating Slaughter are all sixth-order, and their combat effectiveness is comparable to that of the Golden Fire Cavalry. Both sides were exactly 10,000 horses, and they were fighting outside the southern city gate.
"How many rocket cars have arrived at Lu Diaoying?" Qin Fan stood on the city wall and watched the battlefield.
"There are more than sixty cars, all arranged on the city wall." Xinglong said.
The rocket cart is not a one-time consumable, and the rocket can be reloaded after it is launched. Qin Fan asked again, "What about the thunderbolt?" ”
"Back to Gongzi, there are thousands of thunderbolt cannons in reserve, and they can be on the catapult at any time."
Earlier, Qin Fan had already pulled the catapults from Redwood County over, and now there are hundreds of catapults in Fengzhou City.
"All catapults ready!"
With Qin Fan's order, the sergeants began to twist the winch and pull down the launch slot, and the thunderbolt cannon that Lu Tie had introduced before was loaded into the launch slot for standby.
At this time, Qin Fan pulled all Xiao Xie's golden fire cavalry out of the battlefield and retreated into the city, and Tiefutu chased after him.
"Put!"
Whoosh!!
Seeing the Tiefu Tu chasing after him, Qin Fan gave an order, and hundreds of thunderbolt cannons were vigorously sent into the air by the catapult, and the black spots visible to the naked eye smashed into the formation of the Tiefu Tu.
Rumble!
The thunderbolt ignited the tung oil and gunpowder in it the moment it hit the ground, and the violent explosion instantly shook thousands of iron beads in the cannonball, and the lethality spread to the surrounding five meters.
I saw that those iron beads hit the heavy plate armor of the Iron Float cavalry with a clanging sound, and the burning tung oil splashed on the body, although the direct lethality was resisted for the most part, but the impact and sound of the thunderbolt explosion still knocked many Iron Float to the ground.
The continuous explosions plunged the Tiefutu army into a sea of fire, and the tung oil drilled into the horses and soldiers' bodies along the cracks in the iron armor, and even ignited their whole bodies. By the time all the 1,000 thunderbolts had been fired, the 10,000-strong army of Tiefutu had lost more than 3,000.
"Rocket car! Launch! ”
The catapult ended its attack, followed by sixty rocket carts shooting 30,000 thunder rockets at the same time, and in an instant, thousands of white smoke ribbons were pulled out over the city wall.
Bang bang!!!!!
Orange fires bloomed in the Tiefu Tu army, and the Jin soldiers were once again hit hard, and the Tiefu Tu, which was blocked under the city, had no time to retreat, and was killed and injured by a large number of rocket artillery, and silver coins were scattered all over the ground.
At the end of the two waves of attacks, the Iron Float was in disarray and collapsed. Qin Fan immediately ordered the whole army to go out of the city and attack the Jin soldiers.
The remaining 170,000 cavalry, plus the infantry of Hongmu County, and the newly trained 40,000 infantry of Fengzhou City, totaled 230,000 people, and the remaining five or six thousand scarred Tiefu Massacres were drowned.
Under the effect of superior forces and superior weapons, even super heavy cavalry like Tiefutu had nowhere to show, which also made Qin Fan realize that in future battles, he must improve the level of troops and weapons as much as possible.
The sixth-order 10,000 Iron Floating Slaughter brought Qin Fan a profit of four or five hundred gold, and the battle of high-level troops in the future will be another way of economic gain.
Looking at the corpse of Tiefutu, Qin Fan was a little puzzled, Fengzhou had been beaten down for more than ten days, but Datong Mansion had sent elites to suppress it at this time, which felt very strange.
"Xinglong Cai Xu, the two of you have been paying attention to the movement in the direction of Datong Mansion in the past few days, we are going to prepare to attack Dongshengzhou, before that, we must ensure that there will be no more such large-scale super-heavy cavalry raids, otherwise the plan will be disrupted!"
"Yes! Son! ”
Long before going to Western Xia, Qin Fan was already preparing to attack Dongshengzhou, and now the infantry strength has exceeded 50,000, and with the siege ladder, there should not be much of a problem.
