1. The cold of spring is still warm Chapter 22 Riding alone into battle
Li Yuanbai has been a horse all his life and has made outstanding achievements, and things like locking the sand wall will indeed cause some trouble to Li Yuanbai, but it is still a little difficult to defeat Li Yuanbai with this lock sand wall alone.
Li Yuanbai just carefully looked at the temptation of the two thousand Zhou troops for a while, and then thought of a way to break the enemy.
Although the earthen wall of the Shuo army was not dragged down by two thousand cavalry, it was not without effect, at least Li Yuanbai saw that this earthen wall was not a permanent fortification like the city wall, but a semi-permanent fortification that he did not know how to do.
Immediately ordered the left and right formations to run and attack outside the range of the bow and arrow of the Shuo army's position, and the front formation protruded to a mile of the Shuo army's position, using bed crossbows, trebuchets and other siege equipment to attack the Shuo army's earthen wall.
The Shuo army also had siege equipment such as bed crossbows and trebuchets in the position, but because the position was narrow, it was difficult to put too many equipment, resulting in insufficient firepower.
The front line of the Zhou army was 8,000 infantry, and the front was pressed to a mile in front of the Shuo army's position, lined up, with 2,000 spears and shields in the front row, 2,000 archers in the rear, and finally 4,000 infantry pushing 50 bed crossbows, and 30 trebuchets followed.
The Zhou army used the same bed crossbow as the Shuo army in this battle, and the trebuchet was a rope trebuchet, after less than a moment of preparation, the Zhou army was in front of the infantry phalanx of nearly two miles, and the sound of tooth-aching rope bowstrings came and went, and then the flag waved, and the arrows and stones flew together, and they fell to the Shuo army's position.
The Shuo army's position was narrow, and the siege equipment was less than half of the Zhou army, and for a while, spears and stones flew between the positions of the two armies, and casualties continued to appear.
Moreover, under the constant bombardment of trebuchets and bed crossbows, there were many gaps in the earthen walls of the Shuo army, and the gaps continued to increase after the Zhou army deliberately replaced the stones with large stones instead of loose stones.
Li Ping saw that his subordinates continued to suffer casualties, and the equipment was constantly damaged in the numerous equipment attacks of the Zhou army, on the other hand, because the battle line of the Zhou army was long enough, relatively scattered and the firepower was strong, but the casualties were very small, this kind of artillery battle was really the winner takes the loser and ate the dust, once the firepower gap between the two sides was opened, the inferior side would continue to slide towards the abyss of defeat, or that kind of accelerated decline.
When the casualties had exceeded three thousand, Li Ping finally couldn't sit still and prepared to send cavalry to rush into battle to destroy the equipment of the Zhou army.
Just as the 5,000 cavalry of the Shuo army had just assembled, Li Ping was desperate to see that the cavalry on the left and right flanks of the Zhou army was also gathering, and there were still 7,000 cavalry on the two wings of the Zhou army.
The engineering equipment of the Zhou army has ceased fire sporadically, and after an hour-long fire, the position of the Shuo army, which is only more than a mile wide on the left and right, has become a mess, full of spears and guns, boulders, and the three earthen walls have also become scattered, and there are corpses of Shuo soldiers who have been smashed everywhere.
The cavalry of the Zhou army has been basically assembled, and the cavalry of the Shuo army has also been assembled on the north side behind the earthen wall, and they are about to prepare for cavalry hedging, and 20,000 of the 25,000 troops brought by Li Ping are here.
Just as Li Ping instructed his subordinates to quickly repair the earthen wall, replenish the equipment, and take care of the wounded, Zhao Tong rushed over behind him.
Li Ping hurriedly shouted for Zhao Tong to retreat, this place is about to become a battlefield where cavalry meets each other, and more than 10,000 cavalry on both sides collide, and even a master of head armor can hardly retreat.
Zhao Tong ignored Li Ping's stumbling at all, and rode out straight through the gap in the earthen wall that had been smashed out.
Seeing a single rider rushing out of the Shuo army's position, dressed in a black suit, holding six guns, he went straight to the front of the Zhou army.
For a moment, nearly 50,000 people in Zhou Shuo's two armies were silent, all eyes on this black-clothed knight.
In the rear of the Zhou army, a lieutenant under Marshal Li Yuanbai couldn't help but say: "Who is this person, don't die?" Riding alone? ”
At this time, Zhao Yingqi had also reached the third earthen wall, and the observation platform that was originally standing with Guan Zhengnong and Li Ping had been destroyed by the boulder thrown by Zhou Jun's trebuchet, and he could only stand on the platform of a bed crossbow.
Zhao Yingqi looked at Zhao Tong, who was thinking about the Zhou army's army all the way to rush towards her, and the excessive big gun in her hand, and couldn't help but slander in her heart, which two goods crossed over to set the weapon specifications...
Zhao Yingqi's understanding of this world in the past few days has made a preliminary inference, and it is not accidental, he is definitely not the only traveler in this world!
Maybe at this point in time, there is only one traverser in him, Zhao Yingqi, but there has definitely been more than one traverser in the history of the Shen Twenty World in less than a thousand years, and it can basically be concluded that they are all traversers before the Tang Dynasty, otherwise there should be gunpowder in this world!
There is an internal force in this world, and the physical quality of the creature is obviously much stronger than the world in the previous life, but despite this, there is no difference in size, I really don't know where so many big things come from.
Let Zhao Yingqi have to complain, I don't know which illiterate traverser came to formulate the weapon specifications, the six spears are not one zhang and six inches, but really one zhang and six feet!
Obviously still a half-bottle of water traverser, the other rulers in this world are the length of the Tang ruler, but the weapon is the length of the Han ruler.
Zhao Yingqi, who knew this, really had a question mark on his face, Zhao Tong asked Guan Zhengnong last night to ask for a weapon and said that he wanted six big guns, I thought it was the same Zhangyu big gun as the Shuo army's standard cavalry big gun, but who knew that this morning I saw that Guan Zhengnong ordered someone to take it but it was a super big gun equivalent to three meters seven or eight in his previous life...
Looking at the big guns that were almost two long Zhao Tong, Zhao Yingqi almost couldn't hold back his laughter, but it was a little reasonable when he thought about it, as if this world should be like this.
Fortunately, I learned that there are indeed eight snake spears and six spears in this world, even in this outrageous world, they are Qimen weapons, and they can only be used by at least masters above the second grade.
You can't blame the illiterate traverser, after all, in ancient times, the illiteracy rate was very high, but it was this illiterate traverser who made today's scene appear in this world and appear in front of Zhao Yingqi's eyes.
Zhao Tong was one person, one horse and one big gun, galloping towards the Zhou army, this scene was really beautiful to Zhao Yingqi.
A little red lip, a gun, a horse, a lady.
Whoever overwhelms thousands of armies, the world's heroes are not strong.
Seeing Zhao Tong rushing into the range of the Zhou army's bow and arrows, the big gun was waving like a screen fan, and the water could not be splashed.
Guan Zhengnong came out and stood beside Zhao Yingqi and patted his ass: "Good poetry, good gun!" ”
Zhao Yingqi couldn't bear it and didn't roll his eyes, just watched Zhao Tong open his peerless in the Zhou army's military formation.
"General Guan actually has such a divine soldier, it's really unexpected." Zhao Yingqi thought about Guan Zhengnong's martial arts that he couldn't even beat himself, and couldn't help but be angry.
"Hehe, brother, I'm also a general, isn't it reasonable to collect weapons." Guan Zhengnong didn't care about Zhao Yingqi's tone.
The big gun of about three meters seven or eight was waved, and the ordinary Zhou soldiers did not have a single enemy, and the big gun weighed 100 catties.
The more than 10,000 cavalry of Zhou Shuo's two armies that were preparing to attack each other also stopped in place, watching this black-clothed master kill through the front of the Zhou army and go straight to the rear.
The handsome banner in the rear of the Zhou army was two miles away, and Zhao Tong once again challenged a Sima of the Zhou army's top three army who dared to challenge her.
With a slight kick of his feet in the horse's belly, Zhao Tong rushed towards Shuai Qi.
At this time, the second prince who was a second-class martial artist saw clearly that this fake head armor master was actually a beautiful woman!
Under the banner of Shuai, Li Yuanbai and the guards of the second prince suddenly became nervous, shouting for escort, and one hundred and ten two-person soldiers rushed to the front of the two, with huge shields and spears, as if facing a great enemy.
Li Yuanbai and the second prince had a strong interest in their eyes, Li Yuanbai was very interested in this girl master, and his hands were itchy. The second prince was very interested in the battle between the two peak forces around him and a mile away, and his heart was itching.
"Get out of here, how can you stop such a master!" Li Yuanbai shouted: "Take my weapon!" ”
"Oh roar, oh roar, this old lion next to him is going to make a move!" The second prince was also excited when he watched the play, and he was not afraid of big things, and he thought about it in his heart.
The second prince was about to watch a good show, but who knew that his head of the guard was in front of him, looking like he was going to die.
was not angry, and slapped the head of the guard off the horse: "Don't block Lao Tzu from watching the show!" ”
When the head of the guard heard the words of the second prince, he quickly got up and slapped the guard who was blocking the second prince again, and scolded while fanning: "Damn, don't block the second prince from watching the show!" ”
Of course, this head of the guard also wants to watch the show.
Li Yuanbai first took his giant bow from the hands of his own soldiers, the name of this bow is called the round blade, the bow force is up to six and a half stones (Han system), made of soft steel and stainless steel, weighing about 40 catties, with steel wire twisting as a string, the fire is an iron arrow weighing two and a half coins, but Li Yuanbai has pursued changes in archery, that is, iron arrows and wooden arrows are mixed.
Li Yuanbai first drew the giant bow and fired a wooden arrow.
Under the huge bow power of the six-and-a-half-stone giant bow, the wooden arrow did not seem to fall in the slightest, and shot towards Zhao Tong, who had already run more than four hundred steps away, and Zhao Tong just flew the arrow with a horizontal stroke.
A smile appeared on the corner of Li Yuanbai's mouth, and he replaced the wooden arrow with an iron arrow, and directly took the war horse under Zhao Tong's crotch.
Zhao Tong's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the cold light, and placed the spear obliquely in front of the horse, snorting the arrow, but because of the huge power of the iron arrow, the horse's speed slowed down significantly.
Li Yuanbai got up with interest, and at the same time put a wooden arrow and an iron arrow on the giant bow, there was a faint yellow light on the iron arrow, which was infused with a trace of internal force.
Zhao Tong raised the spear in his hand, dancing out of the upper and lower two spear flowers, the tip of the spear a little red light danced with the spear flower, like two cold plums, the iron arrow in front, the wooden arrow in the back, respectively hit the upper and lower two spear flowers.
The red glow vanished, the iron arrows were knocked away, and the wooden arrows shattered.
"Good skills!" Li Yuanbai was obviously addicted, he had been in the head armor for nearly 30 years, and he hadn't seen such a master for a long time, so he couldn't help but have itchy hands, and took his Zhangsi steel lance from the hands of the soldiers next to him and rushed towards Zhao Tong, who was less than seventy steps away.
It's coming, it's coming, the pinnacle battle, even if it's the entire Shen Twenty land, the pinnacle battle that can be counted is coming! The nearly 50,000 people who watched the battle shouted wildly in their hearts.
Except for Zhao Yingqi.
