The continuous frantic shooting and impact soon made a few holes in the protective formation line. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Several carts were destroyed, and cavalrymen were constantly picking open the carts with their horses, trying to open a real passage, but they were greeted by a dense barrage of crossbows.

Jiao Xuan's eyes were like lightning, and he could feel that this escort army was obviously not strong enough in combat, whether it was in terms of training, dealing experience, or even in terms of fighting will, it was far from being as strong as the imagined Huaiyou Army.

And this is by no means pretended, the look of fear on the faces of those soldiers, the overly nervous movements and deformations in the battle, all prove the immaturity and weakness of this army, and in front of its own cavalry, its only fate is to collapse and destroy.

Jiao Yi easily observed the tearing gaps, and there were soldiers who continued to fall in the opponent's dense fire, and the mounted shield was useless against this kind of close-range crossbow arrows, but as long as this kind of car formation was destroyed by a hole, it would also be their doom.

A strong man in heavy armor suddenly picked up a frame, and the flying frame even knocked down the two soldiers on Huaiyou.

And the war horse also lay down under the opponent's shot, the heavy armored strong man rolled over flexibly to avoid being pressed by the fallen horse, and the horse lance in his hand was powerful again, and the two Huaiyou soldiers who pounced on him didn't even have time to scream, and they were stabbed through the heart.

The sharp horse lance pulled out two bloody holes in the opponent's chest and abdomen, and the heavily armored strong man took advantage of the situation to bully and go straight, kicking the cart next to him, and the cart slid in a creaking sound, and the whole opening quickly became larger.

Jiao Yi waved the knife in his hand with satisfaction to show his satisfaction.

This is Han Ye, the first brave general under his command, the level of martial arts has broken through the resting period and entered the early stage of recuperation, if it weren't for the cavalry army needing this kind of breakthrough general, Han Ye would already have the strength to serve as a deputy military commander or even a military commander in a certain infantry army.

Immediately following Han Ye was a group of cavalry, they quickly seized this opportunity, and constantly attacked the defense line that had been cracked, several carts were quickly destroyed, and even a few cavalrymen who were proud of their bravery simply dismounted, using horses as cover, directly hitting the carts, and in less than a stick of incense, several carts were broken and decomposed, and thrown aside.

The follow-up cavalry still followed the established pattern, and constantly took turns to strafe the Huaiyou Army on both sides of the rift and on the front, and under this impact mode, the Huaiyou Army was obviously a little unbearable.

With the shattering of several carts, the gap continued to grow, and even a dozen or so cavalry of the probation army firmly blocked both sides of the gap and broke in, forcing the Huaiyou Army on both sides of the gap that was still resisting to retreat, and this directly led to more carts being broken, and the gap became bigger and bigger.

Seeing that the gap was about to become the trigger for the collapse of the battle line, the cavalry of the reforming army of the brigade began to swarm in formation, and as long as they broke through and blossomed in the nest, all this would be over.

Everyone didn't notice that the Huaiyou Army was defeated and retreated, but it was not messed up, although it was retreating, it still maintained its rhythm, which was very difficult, and even exchanged the lives of countless soldiers.

Huang Anjin's eyes were already bloodshot, his teeth were biting deep marks on his lips, and the magicians and soldiers who operated the instruments hidden behind the rows of soldiers were also trembling, they all knew that once these violent and wild cavalry broke through the defensive formation in front of them, it would be the end of death.

But until now, Huang Anjin still has not given the order to shoot.

Everyone knows that the Lord is waiting for the best time, but everyone knows that this kind of waiting is the most difficult to suffer, and it is also an extreme test of the Lord General's eyesight and judgment.

When two more carts were destroyed and more cavalry began to pour into the gap, Huang Anjin almost roared from the bottom of his heart: "Release!"

A hundred thunder fire tubes spat out fire bombs at the first time, and three successive shots were fired, pouring out densely like a triple fire net, and the cavalry of the probation army who was frantically pouring in was almost unguarded by this blow.

The principle of the lightning fire tube is actually somewhat similar to that of the fire dragon cannon, but the specifications are much smaller.

Less than five feet long, no thicker than an arm, take a loaded fire bomb, and then use the gravitational control of the spell, when used, you only need to use the metal impact force to trigger the force of the spell to start, you can push the fire bomb to send out, and then the fire ejects the tube and burns because of friction.

Due to the special material of the fire bomb and the processing of the fire technique, it is difficult to extinguish once the fire burns extremely violently.

Moreover, once the fire bomb itself burns, it will release a lot of ashes, and the ashes will also burn for a period of time, so once it is stained with ashes, it will also cause any objects that are stained to burn, which is very terrifying.

It's just that the thunder fire tube also has disadvantages, that is, it can be filled three times at a time, and it will erupt three times in a row, but after the eruption, the thunderfire tube almost becomes a waste product, and it takes a lot of time to fill it by taking a special filling method, and the filling process is also very complicated, so it is almost a one-time use in a war.

But this one use is enough.

The surging fireballs were like three walls of fire coming one after another.

The men and horses screamed and burned wildly, and at once the entire gap within a radius of dozens of steps turned into a fire cave.

The cavalry, who had no time to stop the follow-up, crashed in, burned next to each other, burned when touched, and could not get rid of this scattered ashes at all, and suddenly turned into a burning man and a fire horse, stumbling and running in all directions.

"A thousand crossbows, first round, shoot!"

Huang Anjin's face was red, but his tone was still calm, and he calmly gave orders.

The Qianzhang crossbow is different from the ordinary strong crossbow, it is a tool crossbow similar to the appearance of the Western harp, there is a bracket behind the crossbow, so that the crossbow body can stand up, and each crossbow has more than ten transmitter springs, and the crossbow arrows are embedded in it, and each twist of the crossbow can fire more than ten crossbow arrows.

It's just that this kind of crossbow bolt is very small, only a foot long, and it is as thin as chopsticks, and the range is even shorter, and the attack distance can only reach fifty steps, which is far from the strong crossbow.

But its advantage is that it can fire more than ten crossbow arrows at a time, and take a rotary type to load crossbow arrows, there is a special crossbow box under the crossbow body, and the control soldiers only need to twist the turntable, and the crossbow arrows can be automatically loaded into the spring device in a steady stream, and the interval time between each launch is only a few breaths.

In other words, this is a dense strike weapon typical of melee combat, and although the range is short, it is especially suitable for dealing with charging soldiers in defensive formations, and this time it happened to come in handy.

Up to now, the material official institute affiliated to the Daozang Institute has only produced less than 300 of these thousand crossbows, and all of them have been loaded and ready to be used in the battle of Xuzhou.

For this reason, the material officer office also specially instructed the military to pay attention to the effects and problems found in the use of the thunder fire tube and the thousand crossbow, so as to facilitate the next step of improvement.

The target of the Thousand Crossbows was not the cavalrymen who had already been ignited by the fire, but the cavalry who were clinging to the gap and constantly trying to destroy more carts with their lances and spears, tearing the rift even bigger.

This kind of dense strafing at close range immediately had a wonderful effect, and wave after wave of strafing caused almost all the probationary cavalry gathered around the gap to fall off their horses, and the frightened galloping horses fled in all directions, and even the entire formation was completely disrupted.

Jiao Yi could barely believe his eyes, just such a stick of incense time, the situation changed drastically.

The blow like a fire demon possession gave the breakthrough cluster a blow to the head, and that was fine, but this bad situation suddenly reversed back, and the soldiers who were contaminated by the ashes of the flames didn't care about their comrades and formations in the rear in order to escape and survive, and only tried to escape in the shortest possible time, and then plunged into the river to seek a life.

This chaotic situation reached its climax after the surrounding car-breaking cavalry was struck by a thousand crossbow fires, especially after the other two gaps staged an equally almost trap-like scene.

Jiao Qi and his subordinates could no longer control the entire army, and the enemy's bows and crossbows and infantry began to assemble and form in formation, slowly pressing out, which increased the panic of their own army.

Huang Anjin also knew that it was extremely dangerous to take the initiative to attack the cavalry with infantry, but now it was a good opportunity, the enemy's position was chaotic, and his own momentum was flourishing, such a big battle would greatly improve the morale and morale of the troops, even if it was worth paying some price.

He didn't dare to be too arrogant, so he drew out two battalions, with one of them as the attack front, and took the initiative to attack, especially with the crossbowmen, to attack the enemy cavalry that was not yet completely confused, with only one purpose, to completely break the opponent's camp, promote its confusion, and no longer be able to organize an effective attack wave.

Jiao Yi watched Han Ye being burned alive by the fire, and watched groups of soldiers screaming and screaming in the frantic crossbow arrows, wolves rushing and bursting, and one formation after another was slowly shattered.

The infantry attack front of the capital unit was like a grinding plate, and they surrounded it to death, constantly using their shields to resist the attacks of the horse lances and spears, and then returning fire with crossbow arrows, after losing the charging power of the attack formation, the advantage of the cavalry was neutralized, and the advantage of the crossbow arrows of the Huaiyou army was magnified.

Almost about to bite his teeth to pieces, the handle of the Mo knife in Jiao Fei's hand seemed to be pinched out of the mark, although he knew that it was unwise to be impulsive at this time, but Jiao Fei felt that if he didn't go into battle, he wouldn't be able to explain to himself.

It is too unacceptable for so many soldiers to die without warning under this seemingly not very strong defensive formation, especially when they have already seen the dawn of victory, but they are picked off their horses with a shot.

He had to do something.
