Chapter 931: The Bed Crossbow Threats
From the very beginning, the purpose of Lu Bu with this 10,000 vanguard iron cavalry was not to compete with Song Tonghao's 2 million army.
Because that's all about looking for death.
Fools know that it is impossible for 10,000 elite iron horsemen to defeat an army of 2 million.
Because two million people are too many, ten thousand iron horsemen don't have so much physical strength to kill.
No matter how much the cavalry restrained the infantry, no matter how well-equipped the cavalry was, it was impossible.
The gap in numbers is too big, not to mention the existence of military formations.
However, the 10,000 well-equipped vanguard iron cavalry and Lu Bu, a peerless fierce general, were enough to disrupt the enemy front.
Because their armor is made of fine iron, they don't have to worry about crossbows at all, unless the enemy can quickly form a formation with a bed crossbow, or it is impossible to surround them.
But they don't have that much time.
From the destruction of the West Gate to the assembly of the army in the barracks, the time will not exceed half an hour, and it is already very good to be able to condense into a bow and crossbow array, and if you want to condense the bed crossbow array, it will take at least another hour.
And this was Lu Bu's chance, let him take the vanguard iron cavalry dressed in fine iron stone armor to disrupt the enemy line, and then charge directly at the Chinese chariot.
In this way, the enemy commander will definitely think that these 10,000 vanguard iron horsemen are trying to kill them, and they will find a way to ensure their own safety.
The best way is to surround your 10,000 vanguard iron cavalry in the center, and then slowly surround and kill.
And in this way, it is necessary to move the front armies on both sides to defend the perimeter, otherwise the speed of the encirclement will be very slow, enough for the iron cavalry to break through.
And as soon as the front lines on both sides moved, the bow and crossbow arrays used against the cavalry would also change with the line, and it would be impossible to assemble and attack the periphery in an instant.
Lu Bu's 10,000 vanguard iron horsemen have armor made of fine iron and stone, and they can not be afraid of bow and crossbow arrays, but the 290,000 loyal iron horsemen behind him do not.
The bow and crossbow array is a great threat to them.
However, after Lu Bu's actions, the enemy's bow and crossbow formation changed, and it was difficult to pose much threat to the loyal and righteous iron cavalry behind.
In this case, if there are 290,000 elite loyal iron cavalry charging on the periphery, then it can easily tear through the enemy's military formation and slaughter frantically in the army of more than two million.
10,000 elite vanguard cavalry could not defeat 2 million troops, but once the 300,000 elite loyal iron cavalry took shape, it was easy to defeat 2 million troops.
This is Lu Bu's chance.
But there was one thing that he didn't expect.
Originally, Lu Bu thought that Song Tonghao would think that he still had 290,000 loyal iron cavalry that had not been used, and even if he moved the front army on both sides, he would leave some precautions, so as not to be killed by the other 290,000 loyal iron cavalry.
But he didn't expect that Song Tonghao would be so direct, in order to surround himself, he actually directly ordered the front armies on both sides to surround him as quickly as possible, and he didn't think about defending the remaining 290,000 loyal iron cavalry at all.
Even, maybe Song Tonghao forgot that he still had 290,000 loyal iron horsemen.
Since this is the case, then Lu Bu can only say that Song Tonghao is stupid.
Right now, he has no chance.
"Loyal Iron Rider, charge!"
"Kill!"
Wu Song came all the way to the enemy formation with 290,000 troops, and was not hindered at all.
This made Wu Songdu feel a little strange, why didn't the enemy attack them?
But he didn't think about anything, and directly ordered the loyal iron cavalry to charge.
Stomp, stomp!
The 290,000 loyal iron cavalry instantly accelerated and rushed directly into the enemy's formation.
Those infantry had just received an order to encircle the 10,000 vanguard iron cavalry inside, and they thought that there would be other cavalry in the rear at this time, and they had no time to make any resistance.
I could only watch the terrifying cavalry torrent rush over and drown myself in this terrifying torrent.
"Kill!"
The Loyal Iron Cavalry carried the momentum of the charge, instantly broke through the enemy's front army formation, came in the direction of Lu Bu's vanguard iron cavalry, and merged with Lu Bu's vanguard iron cavalry.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Bu immediately condensed the loyal iron cavalry into an army formation with himself and the vanguard iron cavalry as arrows, and charged directly in the direction of the Chinese army's chariot.
There were only 10,000 vanguard iron horsemen before, far less powerful than the current 300,000 loyal iron horsemen combined.
The terrifying iron cavalry charged, those infantry dared to resist, and many people chose to flee backwards.
But this escape made it easier for the iron cavalry to charge, and the slaughter became more fierce.
In just a few moments, they had already broken through the first line of defense of the Chinese army and charged directly towards the second line of defense.
"Arrows, arrows, arrows!"
On the Chinese chariot, Song Tonghao roared wildly.
The crossbowmen of the Chinese army formed an arrow array and quickly shot waves of arrows to cover Lu Bu's 300,000 loyal iron cavalry.
But most of these arrows rained down on the vanguard horsemen at the front, and were bounced off by their armor.
Only a few of them landed at a distance on the Loyal Iron Rider in ordinary armor in the rear, but the number was too small to cause the effect to be extremely poor.
"Bastard!"
Song Tonghao looked at it, his face was full of anger, but his eyes were more frightened.
He knew very well that once he was rushed by Lu Bu's iron cavalry in front of the Chinese army's chariot in this situation, there was only a dead end waiting for him.
Surrender doesn't work!
Because he had already understood, Guo Jia chose to write down the holy decree to make them surrender, and on the other hand, he quickly recruited Wen Chou and attacked Changze City without giving them a chance.
The real purpose is not to make them surrender at all, the purpose is just to break through Changze City.
"Big ...... General, I'm ...... What are we going to do?"
The lieutenant general beside Song Tonghao asked again.
Compared with just now, this time the voices of these lieutenants were even more trembling and terrified.
For they had seen 300,000 loyal horsemen charging at their infantry, and the damage they had done was terrifying.
"Whew!"
Taking a deep breath, Song Tonghao stabilized his new life, looked at a personal soldier beside him and asked, "How is the bed crossbow array prepared?"
"Half of it has been prepared, and there are more than a hundred bed crossbows to use. ”
"Can't wait, order them to fire their arrows immediately, and be sure to stop the enemy's iron cavalry. ”
"Yes!"
Song Tonghao ordered to go down, and the bed crossbow array next to the Chinese army chariot immediately reflected.
"Boom, boom!"
More than a hundred bed crossbows reflected in unison, and the sound came together to form a deafening roar.
"Bed crossbow!"
Lu Bu's gaze locked on the location of the bed crossbow array, and his gaze condensed.
The armor of the Vanguard Iron Rider can block the shot of the bow and crossbow, but it cannot stop the shot of the bed crossbow.
It's not that it's not strong enough, it's mainly because the impact force brought by the bed crossbow is too great, and the soldiers in the armor can't stand this impact force, and will be directly killed in the armor.
But he didn't have a choice, and it was impossible for the Loyal Iron Cavalry to retreat just because the bed crossbow was in front.
