Chapter 184 Niu Li Armored Car
……
At the same time as Zhou Shan's attack, nearly 20,000 people of Hu Chun's three brothers and sisters used ten ox-powered armored vehicles as sharp knives, followed by a neat phalanx of spears, and unswervingly pushed towards the Shui Cangbu of the standing army of Wumang City.
The bull power armored car is ten meters long, six meters wide, three meters high, the front and rear left and right are all sealed with iron plates, there are eight white-horned oxen in the vehicle are divided into two rows of front and rear side by side, the eight cows are equipped with wooden frames, there are four fully enclosed wooden wheels on both sides of the armored car, and there are shooting holes in the four directions of the armored car, a special crossbow machine is installed in the armored car, and the crossbow arrows can be shot from the shooting hole, but there are only four people who actually operate the armored car, two people drive eight oxen, and the other two are crossbow operators who operate in four directions. What's even more terrifying is that the armored car has a three-meter-long sword sticking out from the front and back, left and right, and it is extremely difficult to get close to the ox cart armored car. Far can be shot with crossbow arrows, close to a three-meter-long sword to protect the body, coupled with the brute strength of the eight oxen, dozens of people are countless to resist the footsteps of the armored vehicle forward, it is really invulnerable, indomitable.
Liu Zhibang did not expect how many enemies it could kill and injure when he designed the Niu Li armored car, but for the purpose of breaking the formation, as long as he broke through the opponent's formation with brute force, the two armies would have a great advantage in the battle.
"Report, general, the confrontation between Shui Cangbu and the Han bandits was defeated in just half an hour, and thousands of people were killed and wounded......"
As soon as a herald walked out, another herald came in and reported: "Report, General, Cai Zhuo and Wu Chunbu pursued the Han bandits, fell into the treacherous scheme, and were shot and killed countless by the Han bandits, and only less than 5,000 people fled back......"
Immediately afterwards, another herald brought bad news: "Report, general, the 20,000 Han bandits are rushing all the way, and they are less than five miles away from the Chinese army......"
Du Yan said angrily when he heard this: "How can this be reasonable, there are 40,000 elite soldiers in the Shui Cang Division, how can they be vulnerable?" There are also Cai Zhuo and Wu Chun's two departments, and there are nearly 30,000 people in his second department, and it only takes a long time to lose eight or nine out of ten...... Quickly pass Shui Cang, Cai Zhuo, and Wu Chun to see me!"
Du Yan was a little out of shape, and his subordinate generals were even more frightened, what is the concept of defeat in one blow They know very well, this kind of large-scale battle array, there is not much room for tricks, if the number of the two sides is not hugely different, it is impossible to decide the winner in just half an hour, the current situation can only show that the combat power of the Han army exceeds the garrison of Wumang City by more than one grade, and it is completely hanging.
The herald of the Han army also brought news from the front line: "Commander, the enemy's three armies were all defeated by our department, especially the enemy from the two wings, and more than three of the ten who fled back, and the frontal Shuicang department also lost more than 10,000 people, and our army suffered more than 100 casualties......"
Liu Zhibang replied lightly: "Got it!" ”
As soon as the herald left, Shan Meng walked up and said, "Commander, if you don't take advantage of the victory to pursue and take down Du Yan in one fell swoop?" ”
Liu Zhibang shook his head and said: "Although we only fought for half a day today, the soldiers suffered a lot of physical loss, and Du Yan still has more than 50,000 elite troops, they are ready for battle, we have no advantage, we will withdraw today, and then we ......will care about it tomorrow."
Seeing the three members of the "Liuhua Gang" who had returned, Ah Meng leaned his neck and searched in the crowd for a while, and finally saw a tall female general appear in the field of vision.
Ah Meng rushed up and shouted, "Senior Commander Ruan! ”
"Who called me?"
Ruan Xiangju turned her head to see that it was Ah Meng, and said with some surprise: "Master Meng, you have something to do with me?" ”
Ah Meng greeted him with a shy face and said: "Congratulations, as soon as Master Ruan came out of the horse, Du Yan was so frightened that he was scared and ......."
Ruan Xiangju covered her mouth and smiled lightly, and said, "What, that's the Shui Cangbu of the garrison of Wumang City, not Du Yan's headquarters......"
Ah Meng continued with a shy face: "It was he who commanded Du Yan, I can't imagine it, as soon as Master Ruan joined our Han Army, he made great contributions, much stronger than me, Master Ruan, how did you defeat Du Yan, teach me!" ”
Ruan Xiangju smiled and glanced at Ah Meng, her heart was both sour and sweet: "Why not him!" Although Shan Meng, this stupid big guy can't compare with him, it's not bad, what should I do......"
"Hey, big brother, look at ...... over there"
Hu Chun followed Fei Mao'er's gaze, Shan Meng was chatting with Ruan Xiangju hotly, and a smile appeared on the corner of Hu Chun's mouth: "It seems that Master Meng has taken a fancy to our fifth sister, which is also a good thing......"
Fei Mao'er seemed to be a little puzzled and said, "Big brother, doesn't the fifth sister like the commander?" What's going on here! ”
Hu Chun smiled and shook his head, and said: "The matter of the fifth sister is still up to her own decision, although she likes the commander, but the commander already has a deputy commander, and if she can marry Shanmeng, the fifth sister can be regarded as finding a good home, I think Shanmeng is more suitable for our fifth sister......"
……
Du Yan listened to the report of his subordinates and exclaimed: "Bronze armor chariot...... How could this Liu Zhibang create such a terrifying weapon......"
"Yes, general, the Han bandits lined up with ten bronze armored chariots, no one could stop us, and our formation was disrupted, and the pikemen and infantry behind were pushed forward flatly, we suffered countless casualties, but we couldn't stop the Han bandits from half a step, it's really not the fault of our subordinates......"
Du Yan looked at Shui Cang with an aggrieved face, turned his head in disdain, snorted, and turned his head to Cai Zhuo and Wu Chun and said, "Then what explanation do you two have?" ”
Cai Zhuo and Wu Chun knelt on the ground and looked at each other, Cai Zhuo spoke: "General, we fell for Zhou Shan's trick, and chased all the way to the vicinity of the Han bandit Chinese army, but we were already waiting there for dozens of arrow carts and several rounds of arrow rain volleys, more than half of the dead and wounded, Zhou Shan's saw that our army retreated, and was killed by heavy cavalry, and only escaped back less than 5,000 people. General, the Han bandit arrow cart is too powerful, each arrow cart can shoot at least two hundred arrows in a salvo, and our armor and shield are very few, and we can't resist it......"
"Bronze chariots, arrow chariots...... Liu Zhibang is not easy to deal with......"
Du Yan was troubled, but his face was still impassive, and he said: "Tomorrow, the Japanese army and horses will be dispatched to fight a decisive battle with the Han bandits, and the three departments of Shui Cang, Cai Zhuo, and Wu Chun will gather the remnants of the army, and they will still be the vanguard tomorrow. ”
"Order!"
Walking out of Du Yan's Chinese army tent, Cai Zhuo and Wu Chun talked softly, and walked to Shui Cang while no one was paying attention, pulling him to a corner.
"General Cai, General Wu, do you have something to look for me?"
Cai and Wu glanced at each other, Wu Chun looked around again, and whispered: "General Shui, do you have any plans for today's battle?" ”
Shui Cang is forty-seven or eighteen years old, his complexion is pale, but the years are ruthless, and he has deep lines on his face, looking like a person in his fifties. Shui Cang frowned after hearing this: "What can you do, we are the generals of the defeated army, we just hope to defeat Liu Zhibang tomorrow and make it ...... with merit."
