Chapter 665: Launching a General Offensive (4) (Asking for Collections, Recommendations, and Subscriptions)
Fortunately, the 100-round crossbow was troublesome to load, and under the rapid impact of the cavalry, there was basically only one chance to fire, and then it became a simple city wall for the opponent's foot soldiers. The strikers fell to the dust, but they used their bodies to consume the opponent's most powerful blows.
After this round of firing, Aris's cavalry quickly formed into a skirmisher formation, with the front team wielding heavy weapons, hammers, mallets, and iron bones, while the cavalry behind bent their bows and arrows and fired upwards. Behind the Tai Dangjun, under the banner of Su Zi, Su Jun frowned slightly, there is indeed no shortage of generals who are proficient in the art of war among the barbarians, and they can deal with the law and minimize the losses.
It's coming! The Tai Dang army quickly closed in formation, the chariots came closer together, the spearmen behind the chariots raised their spears that were more than a foot long, and the charioteers drew their short knives, ready to cover the spearmen, and behind them, the crossbowmen began to shoot at their opponents. With a loud bang, the barbarians who rushed to the front of the chariot swung their heavy weapons, either smashed them on the chariot or flew into the spear formation, knocking down the Tai Dang soldiers, and they themselves kept falling under the crossbows fired from behind the chariot.
These barbarians who flew out of their heavy weapons did not ride their horses around in both directions as usual, but violently lifted their horses and leaped high in the roar, although the galloping horses were afraid of the sharp blades in front of them, but under the compulsion of the knights on their backs, they still had to leap high, and even men and horses rushed forward to the hell of death.
In the air, the knights drew their scimitars from their waists and fell down with red eyes, as long as they were not stabbed to death in the air, they still had a chance to swing their knives. The desperate style of play made the battle enter the most cruel time at the beginning, the blood fell from the air in a puff, most of the barbarians who flew into the air could not wait for the time to fall, they were stabbed to death by a long spear volley in the air, thrown out of the formation, and the lucky ones who fell down only had the opportunity to swing a knife, and they were hacked to death by the long-waiting sword and shield soldiers, but the war horses that fell down heavily made the Tai Dang army suffer a lot of casualties.
Up and down the chariot, the front soldiers, and in a short time the corpses of the people and horses filled up a thick layer. Gaps appeared in the dense formation. Liu Zhijing was furious, seeing that the speed of the other party's galloping horse had slowed down, he immediately ordered, and the Tai Dangjun Huo Di, who was gathered together, separated into dozens of small phalanxes and rushed into the opponent's queue. On the siege platform, the soldiers steadily suppressed the rear cavalry that was still rushing forward.
Liu Zhijing in Chu Yan several reprimands, finally got rid of the battle on the edge of the excitement, like the habit of going into battle shirtless, now he is wearing Taidang County specially made plate armor for officers above the battalion, this set of armor is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but the protective ability is much better than the ordinary iron armor worn by ordinary soldiers, and the weight is also lighter, which is also more conducive to the generals can have more physical strength to ensure their combat effectiveness when engaging in battle.
Thousands of Tai Dang troops suddenly cracked, divided into dozens of small phalanxes of hundred-man units, seemingly fighting separately, but closely related to each other, alternate cover, once found that there are signs of the enemy's cavalry speeding up, there are several phalanxes on both sides of the circle up, trying to limit the speed of the horse, and even make it difficult for the opponent to move an inch, forcing the other party not to rely on horsepower, and the Tai Dang soldiers stabbed the enemy, cut off the horse's legs, and were very busy, and the crossbowmen used the equipped hand crossbows, from time to time they shook a crossbow, The loss of shock force of the cavalry into the infantry phalanx was the beginning of the nightmare.
Liu Zhi shouted, the sharp shield waved, cut the horse's legs, to the horse's belly, dancing like a windmill, and every time the big axe in the other hand rose and fell, the blood and water brought up flew up in strings, like a big killing god.
Aris gritted his teeth and allowed most of the cavalry to sink into the sea of infantry, and he was quietly preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the Taidang County attack vehicle, Feiya Yunche, and in his hands, he also held a secret army. Seeing that the two sides were already twisted, Aris was ready to exert his strength.
The most elite cavalry was organized by him, under his leadership, like a sharp knife, swished from the weak area of the Taidang county soldiers he had aimed at, all the way without fighting, only rushed to the Yayun car, the combat power of this cavalry is obviously much higher than others, equipment, horsepower are much stronger, this impact "immediately on the battlefield to kill a bloody alley."
From a distance, Su Jun saw Aris's team, his face couldn't help but change color, and three words involuntarily spit out in his mouth:
"Ponxi Army!"
Chu Yan on the side was not clear, and asked strangely:
"Master Hou, what did you say?"
Su Jun smiled bitterly, war can really greatly destroy people's wisdom, in his image, the Poxi army appeared in the Song Dynasty, this army was a strong army in Western Xia at that time.
In fact, it is more accurate to say that this is a technical arm, the Poxi army will set up a stone cannon called a whirlwind cannon on a horse, bombarding the enemy, extremely powerful, since coming to Dawu, Su Jun has been fighting with the barbarians for several years, and has never seen the appearance of this whirlwind cannon, but now, Su Jun actually saw it, in the battle with the barbarians.
"The other party's target is our Flying Arrow Cloud Car!"
Su Jundao, Liu Zhijing was caught off guard, he would definitely suffer, and it was very likely that these flying arrow cloud cars would not be able to be saved.
As he spoke, Aris had already protruded to Fengyang of the Taidang County Army, and the whirlwind cannon on the horse began to wield, and four or five pounds of stones rained down on the tall Flying Arrow Cloud Car, although the pillars of the Flying Arrow Cloud Car were thick and strong, but as long as a few stone bullets were hit on the key parts, the entire Flying Arrow Cloud Car was crumbling.
The soldiers above couldn't help but panic, gave up the heavy crossbow arrows above, and ran down the stairs with their sidearms.
A loud rumbling sound sounded, and several siege arrow cloud vehicles were finally overwhelmed and collapsed, and the soldiers of the enemy and us below were miserable, such a behemoth was about to fall down" Not counting his huge wooden pillar, it was the stone bullets carried on it, and the three-bow bed crossbow, if smashed down, it would kill people.
Screams rang out, and the Flying Arrow Cloud Car fell, sending a huge fog of snow up. Liu Zhijing in the fierce battle turned his head sharply, saw the siege arrow cloud car behind him fall, furious, a turn back and rushed back, at this time, the barbarian cavalry who finished the whirlwind cannon became the target of slaughter, because they had to load these stone bullets and whirlwind cannons, they had very few weapons on their bodies, and they were slashed and killed by the Taidang soldiers who had slowed down, and Arris, who had completed the task, looked at the siege arrow cloud car that had gone away, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, he pursed his lips and screamed, and suddenly broke through to the left.
