Chapter Eighty-Two: Light Armor Wisdom Breaks the Iron Floating Massacre
I thought that after this battle, even if I couldn't do it once and for all, I would be able to have a few days of rest and recuperation, but I didn't expect that after a day's work, the horn outside the city gate sounded again, and it was the heavy sound of war drums that greeted me and Haoqian.
"Your Highness!" On the tower of the city, Su Zhi looked back, and his eyes were panicked.
I was a little surprised at what could make this battle-hardened general panic, but when I looked into the distance, I finally understood why......
Under the city tower, hundreds of thousands of moon armor soldiers and iron cavalry arrays are distributed, towering like a mountain wall. The flags in the camp are mixed, the size is different, the soldiers are heavily armored from head to toe, only two eyes leak out, and the weapons are not the ordinary axes, knives and forks, but heavy horse pistols and iron bones, even the war horses are also wearing heavy armor, only showing their eyes and legs, looking like a gray sea of steel from a distance.
The earth made a dull sound under the trampling of horses' hooves. The soldiers who were fighting outside the city gate were rushed by the torrent of horses, and they had collapsed without even a single round, and at this moment, not to mention the warriors, even the war-hardened horses were huddled together, their feet trembling uncontrollably.
I frowned slightly, this is obviously to deal with my stone mine, even if I am reluctant, but I have to admit that Hao Yuming is really smart, he has already seen the defects of the stone mine, although the blasting power is strong, the killing area is not large, the impact of the two layers of iron armor has greatly weakened the impact of the stone mine, even if it explodes at close range, it will not hurt a large area, knives, spears, bows and arrows, hammers and maces or something cannot hurt. In this way, with heavy armor in front of the siege and cover by archers, the city may not be impossible to capture......
"Who let them out of the city to fight?!" Hao Qian's face was extremely ugly.
"Early this morning, Yueheng's army was insulting and mocking outside the city gate, and General Han was humiliated and worried about affecting morale, so he went out of the city to fight." Su Zhi's face was equally ugly.
"Idiot!" Hao Qian said angrily: "This is Yue Heng's plan, as a general of the First Army, he is so uncontrollable!" ”
However, scolding and scolding, seeing that the soldiers and horses under the city were already in chaos under the impact, Tianyu's soldiers fell down in rows in the impact again and again like wheat stubble, and Tiefutu didn't seem to be in a hurry, like a cat and mouse, opening his fangs again and again, but he would not kill them all, but watched them in the center of despair again and again, Hao Qian's anger swept over, and his face became more and more difficult to see, and this huge frustration almost shattered him. I understand his thoughts, he can't tolerate his subordinates dying in battle alone in front of his eyes, however, at this time, no matter how many soldiers and horses are sent out, I am afraid that they will not be able to withstand a few rounds under the impact of the Iron Floating Massacre.
Hao Qian bent arrows with bows, and an arrow flew through the sky with a whistling sound, but in the end it was not as long-range, and could only pierce the ground at the edge of the battlefield.
"Ling Haoqian! How about this king's Iron Float? If you don't come down again, I'm afraid this king's Iron Floating Tu won't be able to wait! Hao Yuming looked at Hao Qian playfully, and pointed at General Han and his party, who were surrounded by Tiefutu.
"Open the gates!" Hao Qian clenched his fists tightly, squeezing out between his teeth word by word.
"The general must not, if the city gate is opened, I am afraid that Tiefutu will take the opportunity to enter the Yanmen Pass, when the time comes, there is no danger to refuse, there is no city to defend, how can you resist the 500,000 army of Yueheng!" Shu Zhi and several generals stood behind Hao Qian and said eagerly.
In fact, why do they need to say, how Hao Qian didn't know the truth, just watched them being tortured and killed to death, how could he bear it! Now, the stakes are even greater! If you don't save it, not only will you not be able to pass this level, but even the morale of the entire military camp will be affected! He's in a dilemma!
"Your Highness, don't open the gates! The negligence of the subordinates made a big mistake for a while, even if they died in battle, they couldn't drag down the brothers! Under the city wall, General Han raised his head and roared, his whole body was covered in blood, his armor was tattered, and there was no trace of integrity.
Hao Qian smashed his fist into the city wall, the stone foam fell everywhere, the blood splashed, and he looked up at the sky in despair, "Tiefutu!" I didn't expect the Iron Float to really exist! ”
"Is this the Iron Float?" Hearing these familiar words, my heart moved, and I suddenly remembered the Tiefutu of the Jin people in the Southern Song Dynasty, which seemed to be something like this.
"Tiefutu is crisscrossing on the battlefield, no one can stop it, and in all the battles, he has not tasted defeat." Hao Qian's face was solemn, and he slowly spoke: "According to legend, only the most elite cavalry of Yueheng is qualified to be selected as the Iron Floating Slaughter, and the Iron Floating Slaughter is a group of three, like an iron tower, once the war starts to help each other, they are invincible. I heard my father once mention that the day and day Yueheng used the Tiefutu to settle the country and draw the border line to the east of Qinglan Mountain, otherwise how could my Tianyu territory be like this! But because the cost is too expensive, the training cycle is too long, and the idle will not be in the world, I thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect it to really exist! He looked at the soldiers who were already physically and mentally broken under the city tower, and he couldn't bear it.
In fact, it's not just him, when I see the despair and fear in the eyes of the soldiers downstairs, how can I bear it! I knew that he didn't want to watch them die, but he didn't dare to open the city gates, he was the commander of an army, how could he exchange the lives of thousands of people for the safety of the entire city. He didn't dare and couldn't ......
I frowned and looked at the striking similarity of history, but it gave me a chance to solve the puzzle, and I looked back at him, "If it is the Iron Float, it will be easy to do!" This Iron Float seems to be powerful, but in fact, his advantages are also his shortcomings! I smiled faintly, "The armor of the Iron Floating Tu is too heavy, not to mention people, even the war horse is overwhelmed, as long as we fight for a long time, even if we don't do it, we just drag him to death!" Not to mention that the legs and eyes of this Iron Float have no armor, as long as we cut off the legs of the horse and hinder its movement, this Iron Float will be broken! At that time, General Han's soldiers and horses will be saved! ”
Hao Qian's eyes shook and stared at me seriously.
"We can send three teams to play in turns. The first team of soldiers and horses held tripping horses to meet the enemy from both sides of the Tiefutu camp, and the Tiefutu rampage, extremely fast, but limited by its full body armament, the line of sight is restricted, as long as the front team trips, the rear team will be controlled. And the armor is too heavy, and it will be even more difficult to get up again if you fall. At this time, we can send a second team of men and horses, all armed with axes and hook and sickle, with shields on their heads, to rush into the Iron Floating Slaughter Array, to cut off the legs of the horses, pick up helmets, and run away after chopping, without entangling the battle situation. The third team didn't need to say much, and directly picked up the axe and cut people. This move will be broken! As he spoke, I couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity that my arsenal craftsmanship is too rough, if Chen Yunmo is here, three flying arrows pierce his heart, how can he be so arrogant!" ”
I was still feeling annoyed here, but Hao Qian's expression was unbelievable, I could see that he was a little surprised, his eyes fell on me fixedly, without blinking, for a long time, before he slowly spoke in the dull sound of metal impact: "Ruo'er, what else can't you do!" ”
My eyes darkened, but the pain of a moment was put aside in an instant: "The world is impermanent, I can only do a little, this method is just a coincidence, borrowing the wisdom of the sages!" There is a way, you still have to worry about the specific deployment of troops, Hao Yuming will not give us too long! ”
He suddenly nodded slightly, and he couldn't wait to turn around and leave, I knew that he was eager to save people, looking at his back, and finally relieved......
The sound of trumpets resounded in the sky, and the clouds on the horizon condensed the sky into purple. The drums were low and depressed, and the soldiers and horses of Yueheng rolled in, as if black clouds were rolling in the sky, trying to destroy the city wall.
Under this high-intensity heavy armor impact, the tower could not hold out for long, and then, I could already hear the sound of the city gate opening, and then a group of light armored cavalry galloped towards it......
The long wind swept angrily, the war horses neighed, accompanied by the sound of horses and horses, the sound of armor colliding, and the sound of soldiers intersecting, and on the faint horizon, a neat team was like a black hurricane, surging towards the Iron Floating Massacre.
"Meet the enemy!" In the swords, I clearly heard Hao Yuming's contemptuous sneer.
At this moment, the soldiers under General Han finally had a chance to breathe, and immediately, the iron hooves turned the target and came with a bang, like a Futu iron tower that could not hide its edge. Opposite him, the group of light horsemen was as small as a long line against its background. Through the layers of people, I have seen the smile on the corner of Hao Yuming's lips.
"Do it!" At this moment of urgency, the commander of the military commander shouted, and the long line quickly staggered at the moment of collision with the Iron Float, and was quickly stretched and extended by a vertical line. Before the Iron Float reacted, the stumbling horse rope shook off, quickly tightened, hooked the Iron Floating Tu's untouched horse legs, the speed of the war horse was too fast, the heavy armor of the Iron Floating Tu limited vision, it was impossible to react quickly, at the moment when the tripping horse appeared, the person turned on his back, neighing constantly, the front team fell, how could the rear team be good, for a while, the golden armor was in disarray.
"The second team is attacking!"
The light cavalry continued endlessly, and the soldier immediately pulled the reins with one hand, hooked the stirrups with both feet, leaned to one side, and accurately inserted the hook and sickle into the gap in the armor in one hand. On the other side, those soldiers armed with large axes began to circle out from behind the hook and sickle spearmen, and some soldiers leaned over from their horses, axes rose and fell, and the heavy armor of Tiefutu could resist sword slashing, but it could not stop these giant axes that were often dozens of pounds. What's more, Tianyu's generals axes and axes hit the ground, all of which were cut on the horse's legs.
It is said that the Iron Float relied on this kind of stamina, extremely fast war horse, which was raised in the desert from three months of birth in order to breed it, just to endure the huge weight of the Iron Float. After withstanding the first wave of the Iron Float, the flaws of these iron bumps were exposed, although the heavy armor gave them extremely high defensive power, but after being restrained by the spears and losing the speed at which the cavalry depended, they were nothing more than iron cans. Now that the horse's legs are in unison, this iron floating slaughter is no longer useful.
The flaws have appeared, how can Hao Qian give them a chance, in a moment, countless soldiers, in a panic, lost their armor and fled all over the mountains, behind them, there is a torrent of armor that people can't see at a glance, like crazy shouting to chase and fight. Tianyu soldiers lifted their swords and broke in all directions, blood drank and fell silent, armor was broken, and war horses neighed. As a result, this elite heavy cavalry unit, which had dominated the north and south for more than ten years, disappeared in the dull sound of metal impact.
The blood-red sunset is fading, and the wind blows through the clear water of the secluded pool, crossing ripples......
A big battle lasted for a month before it finally came to an end, although Yueheng suffered a big loss at the beginning, but on the subsequent battlefield, the two armies made frequent moves, winning and losing each other. The black armor of the Yueheng soldiers and horses has retreated to the southern slope of Qinglan Mountain, the slope is dark, the black armor is neatly arranged under the "Yueheng" word battle flag, looking at the Yanmen Gate Tower angrily, ready to rush to kill again. The guards were also neatly gathered on the tower of Yanmen Pass, looking at the Yueheng soldiers and horses angrily, and the crossbowmen did not dare to slack off at all, ready to draw their bows at any time. The two sides faced each other to the death, neither of them retreated, nor did any of them rush to kill, the heavy corpses on the battlefield and the discarded chariots and baggage were not fought over by any side, and the two sides were like two fierce tigers staring at each other, and neither of them would leave the battlefield first......
