20,000 cavalry charged, this is one of the strongest and most powerful tactics of the steppe people

The scale of tens of thousands of iron cavalry, when launching a group charge, basically no enemy formation can stop it, not even the spear array, the reason is very simple, the power of the spear array is really the first heavy spear forest, but when the group iron cavalry charges, the cavalry in front of it can not be terminated at all, even if the front is a sea of cliff fire, they have to rush up.

War horses can march at speeds of up to 200 to 250 kilometers a day and night, but if they sprint for a short time, they can even reach a high speed of 15 m/s, which is such a high speed, so even if they rush up and are pierced by a spear, their momentum can crush a pikeman and break the formation immediately.

At this time, the cavalry appeared on the horizon, and the convoy hurriedly colluded with each other - ten cars were connected end to end to form a group, which had been prepared for a long time.

The speed of the enemy's cavalry was slowly accelerated, first maintaining a certain speed rhythmically, and when it reached two miles away, it exerted its strength violently, and the war horse immediately accelerated, and its momentum rushed straight over like a tide.

Erli is extremely fast, it only takes a minute to rush, and suddenly, the front line, which has already been prepared, immediately raised the flag, and only heard the sound of "Peng" when boarding, and the crossbow archers on the car formation are ready.

After waiting for a few tens of seconds, I heard an order, "Hum! "As soon as the sky was dark, thousands of arrows rained down on the sky, and then rained down, and heavy crossbows were aimed at the galloping iron horsemen and fired straight at them.

Fang Xin was on the high platform behind him, holding his breath to watch the way of victory and defeat, just the result of the first charge

Although there was a battalion of chariots connected from end to end, if the cavalry maintained this high speed, it was considered a heavy chariot. It can also be smashed away with flesh and blood, but as long as the first heavy setback, it is impossible for either horses or people to produce this kind of group charge that is not afraid of life and death

The only thing worth celebrating is that the three-year ban is far from enough iron weapons for the barbarians. Therefore, they only have weapons on their bodies, but they are no longer worthy of armor, at most sheepskins and other leather clothing.

In this encounter, there was an instant result

"Poof, poof!" First, a rain of arrows fell from the sky, and suddenly, a group of cavalry within the range turned into hedgehogs. They all fell from their horses. And the direct shot of the heavy crossbow was aimed at the galloping horses

"Poof!" Liansheng, this kind of heavy crossbow is actually a small bed crossbow, and this kind of crossbow has appeared in the Warring States. And at this time, the bed crossbow on the car camp. Strictly speaking, it is very small compared to the heavy one, but it still has to be wound on the sling, and the crossbow bolt fired is 1 meter long, enough to shoot through heavy armor, and even through people and horses.

The only consequence is that this kind of heavy crossbow takes a long time to be wound, so there is only one chance to use the ground in real combat.

But. Even so. The range of this kind of long crossbow is an arrow from a war horse. It went straight in, and could no longer keep sprinting, falling heavily, sliding on the ground for more than ten meters, and the roaring sound, even if it couldn't be heard, could be felt.

The front rider fell to the ground, the rear rider was affected, and the speed naturally eased, and Fang Xin stared straight at the confrontation point in the distance.

I only heard a bang, and after the rain of arrows, I slowed down, and several horses crashed into the car camp, making the car camp sway, but fortunately, it was connected from end to end, and it had not yet overturned or collapsed.

On the high platform, you can also feel the power of the heavy thousand catties pressing up, so on the battlefield, even if it is a fourth-order, it cannot turn the tide of the battle with personal bravery, and it is rare to be able to protect yourself.

Everything depends on whether the various conditions in advance and preparation are sufficient, the right time, place, and people, especially the degree of cohesion of the army's morale, and this has become the key to victory or defeat.

Three hundred car battalions, ten cars at the end of one song, formed a battalion, thirty battalions, in fact, surrounded by a simple formation, 20,000 cavalry charged, a few crashed into the car, most of them still passed through the gap in the car camp, after all, there was a lot of space in the middle, and it was suddenly divided into more than a dozen pieces

At this moment, the drums beat rapidly

All the crossbow archers of the 30th battalion, no longer caring about their own safety, simply blocked the wooden planks of the car battalion, and began to desperately shoot out the crossbow bows stored in the car

The auxiliaries below no longer push carts or stab people with guns in the gaps, but desperately put on the crossbows, which are all crossbows with five arrows in bursts, called five-shot crossbows

When the crossbowman finishes firing, a bow filled with crossbow arrows is sent to the new land, so the crossbow arrows are continuous, and in general, the effect of firing a thousand arrows every five seconds is maintained

Staggered attacks, arrows rained down, barbarian cavalry fell like straw, a large number of cavalry, melted like snow, and all those who watched the battle on the high platform were dumbfounded

The chariot itself is powerful, on the earth in the Ming Dynasty has been tested, the Mongolian iron cavalry often have to pay several times or even ten times the casualties to consume the ammunition of the car battalion and then annihilate it, but unfortunately in the late Ming Dynasty, the Xiaoice River period began, as an agricultural country of the Ming Dynasty tax revenue was extremely seriously affected, the state finance can no longer support the maintenance of the car camp, the car camp was abandoned

But now, this simple formation in the shape of a fortress played an incredible role for the first time, rushing into the cavalry between the battalions, and at the same time receiving concentrated fire from five or six directions, without any cover to cover - some warriors still wanted to roar and attack the chariot battalion itself, but behind the left and right sides, it was the accumulation of fire

In such a situation, even a warrior was killed without any resistance at all

Once in the battle, there is no room for resistance

Thirty battalions, each battalion has thirty official crossbowmen, a total of nine hundred crossbow archers, and they can be fired in a row every five seconds, so in five seconds, there are thousands of arrows fired in succession, and in just one minute, ten thousand arrows were really shot - the twenty thousand cavalry who rushed in suddenly lost twenty percent

The most terrible thing is that the battalions are staggered, even if the cavalry charges desperately, it is difficult to have a straight road to go, and they must turn from time to time, or they will crash straight into the force of the first charge, and even the car battalion must be scrupulous, but the cavalry who have slowed down, hesitated, and panicked, in the battalion, there is no way to mention this speed - the speed is to be slowly accelerated by a straight road, and without this straight road, it can no longer be added

Arrows are like a torrential rain, they don't stop all the time, human lives are like mustard, the sound of popping can even hide the voices of ordinary people, the cavalry is flustered, I don't know whether to retreat or advance, just this hesitation, taking the names of hundreds of people every second

But in the end, there was a hero, and he shouted: "Rush over!" ”

The sonic boom is clear to the ears, even the deafening hoofs and firing sounds cannot be concealed

As he spoke, this man stepped forward desperately, charged with a flag, and the cavalry behind him suddenly had a backbone and followed suit

Fang Xin looked straight over, and saw a star shining violently, and its qi soared into the sky, this person was one of the more than a dozen stars, and his martial arts had also reached the fourth order

However, everywhere he passed, the crossbowmen noticed him, and suddenly, the crossbow shot continuously, and the man roared again and again, and rushed straight to a hundred meters, first the horse was hit by an arrow, and the man jumped down, and wanted to continue to move forward, and under the continuous shooting of hundreds of arrows, he finally became a hedgehog

The strong wind blew, and the corpse of this person still held on, and the flag in his hand was hunting.

With this precedent, the cavalry charged one by one, passing through the chariot camp, intending to break out of the death encirclement

After a while, the panicked cavalry finally found a way out and rushed out of the camp, Fang Xin looked over, and saw that in just ten minutes, there were already 10,000 cavalry fallen in the camp formation, the corners of his lips were slightly pulled, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, he raised his hand and gave orders

The chariot battalion closed the back road and fired directly from behind the cavalry, and in the front, it blocked the barbarian infantry coming from the front, and the chariot battalion had a considerable effect even on ordinary infantry

Behind, the army of 60,000 stepped forward, stacked on top of each other, and approached straight up, only three hundred meters away from the chariot camp - this distance would not be affected by the crossbows of the chariot battalion, nor would it give the cavalry room to charge

If the cavalry could not charge, in fact, it was not much different from the infantry, and in the back, the crossbows of the chariot battalion were still fired straight through, driving them straight to the pike-battalion that had been prepared

Themselves, five thousand cavalry, two thousand each, waited quietly, ready to strangle the fleeing brute cavalry, and also ready to kill those retreating of their own soldiers

In this battle, Fang Xin wants to fight it all in one net, leaving no one and no one to ride, no matter how much it costs

Although this car battalion, after this battle, Tianxia knows that no one will rush in stupidly, and will think of other ways to break the formation, but at least this time, the unguarded brute cavalry will fold under this formation

As soon as the order was given, the drums beat and beat one after another, urging the battle and calling for death

"Rush over!" In the barbarian cavalry, some people shouted, the rear camp continued to shoot, and the middle of the camp all fell to the ground, rather than being shot like this, otherwise they would go straight to the enemy camp, killing one was enough, killing two to earn one

Suddenly, many brute horsemen stabbed their horses with knives, using this method to make up for the shortcomings of not being able to sprint, and rushed straight to the spear formation

Above the barbarians' pillars, one star after another was extinguished, representing the fall of the Heavenly Mandate

Half an hour later, seven stars fell, and 20,000 cavalry were killed.
