Chapter 210: A Great Victory
"By the way, I still want to ask you one more thing, does that little girl have a mother-in-law? I've heard for a long time that your fresh girls are all looking like a top water spirit, and when I saw it yesterday, it was really better to meet than to be famous! Xiao Chen never forgot that beautiful girl Uloran.
"Farewell!" The messenger was furious.
"Don't ask, don't ask, you see you're in a hurry again!" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Then you're stubborn about not surrendering, aren't you?" Seeing that Xiao Chen didn't know how to lift, the envoy also spoke wildly, and was already ready to leave with his sleeves up.
"Don't vote yet, right?" Xiao Chen said, "Let's see, if it really doesn't work, let's talk about it." ”
"Hehe, you're dead, you're all dead!" The envoy sneered, turned his head and left, everyone seemed to be shocked by his might, and silently took the initiative to flash a path for him.
"Let's go? Walk slowly and don't send Ang, turn around and come over to play, alas...... You said that everyone is a good neighbor and should be good brothers, why do you have to fight back and forth? By the way, I will greet you for the eighth generation of the ancestors of General Da Bokun! Xiao Chen waved at his back.
When Da Bokun heard that Xiao Chen refused to surrender, and also greeted his eight-generation ancestors, he was furious and immediately ordered an attack!
The mode of cavalry attack is simple and rude, that is, first slowly beat the horse first, and when the horse runs, it is like an arrow from the string, unstoppable, invincible!
Here he made the first mistake of underestimating the enemy, that is, he did not send troops to remove the obstacles to the rejection of the horse.
He thought that these rejected horses were the same as the ones he had encountered before, they were all shallow buried in the soil, and they were scattered as soon as they rushed, but he didn't expect that the Gongsun Ban and their work was very meticulous, and each of the horse rejection piles was driven deep into the soil three feet deep!
And there are several strong iron chains buried underneath, as long as the horse is touched, the iron chains will immediately stretch out of the ground, which is a tripwire.
So the seemingly simple horse rejection pile is actually a chain of small mechanisms.
This is actually not a problem, but it is just to temporarily block the attack speed of the Xian Xiao cavalry, but the problem is that the distance where this horse rejection stake is located is within the best range of those ballistas......
Therefore, when the torrent of impact was blocked, and a man turned on his back, the crossbow cart was one and a half meters long, the finger thick, and the crossbow arrows with curved hooks and iron arrows began to launch terrifying long-range shots.
I only heard the earth-shattering sound of whining and breaking the wind, and countless crossbow arrows swung their tails like spiritual snakes and flew rapidly, shooting the Xian Xiao cavalry without heavy armor and even men and horses through each other!
The crossbow arrows fired by this kind of machine spring are extremely powerful within the effective range, not to mention that the Xian cavalry is only wearing thin leather armor, even if it is heavy iron armor, it can still penetrate!
The most immoral thing is that the ballista is a semi-circular formation, there is no dead angle at all in the fan attack, and the Xian Xiao cavalry is useless when they are scattered, and they are all within the range of the crossbow arrows, and there is no way to dodge at all.
Even if the crossbow bolt is powerful, the vitality and sustainability are particularly strong, and the continuous firing is especially without pause!
In this round of long-range attacks, more than 1,000 Xian cavalry were killed, and hundreds of them were wounded, and more than half of them were damaged, and they didn't even face each other at all......
Finally broke out of the rejection array, the first arrow magazine of the ballista was also shot, and in the time of changing clothes, the brave Xian Xiao cavalry had already rushed to a distance of several hundred paces in front of the formation, and it just happened to enter the range of the musket.
I only heard the continuous crisp sound in the woods, puffs of black smoke rose into the sky, and countless projectiles shot at them, immediately punching out blood holes in the charging Xian Xiao cavalry!
But there were still nearly a thousand Xian Xiao cavalry rushed to the front of the crossbow car array, Zhuge Xiaosheng gave an order, and hundreds of strong men behind the car also shouted a trumpet together, stepped on the ground with both feet, and resisted the body with their shoulders.
The car itself was extremely heavy, and the wooden stakes were driven underneath in advance to fix it, and these strong men were desperately resisting, and the momentum of the Xian Xiao cavalry was blocked.
The front row rushed too fast, and even the people and horses were all nailed alive to the sharp iron spikes in front of the car!
Behind the car, a thousand pikemen held spears more than two meters long, stabbing out from the gap in the cart, and they didn't need any accuracy at all, just a mess to ensure that the guns were to the flesh!
The disadvantage of the cavalry also became apparent, as soon as the charge was blocked, losing the speed advantage, it was impossible to reorganize the attack in a short time, and it was crowded in front of the formation.
Zhuge Xiaosheng waved the command flag in his hand, and a thousand rattan armor sword soldiers and a thousand hook sickle soldiers rushed out in unison, and they didn't kill anyone, but just lowered their heads and cut off the horse's legs all the way, hooking the horse's feet......
"Retreat, retreat!" Da Bokun finally realized that something was wrong and hurriedly ordered a retreat, but it was too late.
A thousand heavily armored cavalry, under the leadership of Wei Yuntian, slaughtered from the flank, smashed into the enemy group, and killed hundreds of people in an instant like chopping melons and vegetables.
In the face of these heavily armored cavalry armed to the teeth, the light cavalry basically had no chance of winning, not to mention that these were the most elite Black Dragon Guard Iron Cavalry in the Great Zhou!
Basically, it collapsed at the touch of a button, and the remnants of the hundreds of Xian Xiao cavalry turned around and fled, but a light cavalry rushed out of the oblique stab, chasing and whizzing arrows.
The thicker sandwich leather armor of the Xian cavalry mainly protects the position of the chest, and the protection of the back is very rash, only a thin layer, which can not resist the bow and arrow at close range, and most of them were killed and wounded in an instant, and finally only a few dozen horsemen barely escaped......
Originally, he wanted to fight a blocking war, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a war of annihilation, which was really unexpected by the generals on both sides.
I really didn't expect it before.
The main reason for the victory in this battle was that Da Bokun greatly underestimated Xiao Chenfang's combat power, and Xiao Chen and the others greatly overestimated the combat power of Xian Xiao's cavalry.
One side underestimates the enemy and is reckless, and the other side does its best, and the result can be imagined.
But the Xian Xiao cavalry was also really brave, and in this situation of being completely passively beaten, it still caused a lot of casualties to Xiao Chen's side.
A rough inspection showed that more than 500 brothers were damaged, and more than 100 were injured.
But in any case, this battle is a complete victory.
In fact, the most outstanding performance in actual combat is not the ballista with great lethality, nor the musket with the second lethality, but the fighting spirit of the brothers who are not afraid of death!
When they were in battle, they were all playing with their lives, and no one flinched!
This is called combat effectiveness.
It's a pity that their strength is still too weak, otherwise they will take advantage of the situation to attack the Xian Xiao battalion, and they will definitely be able to achieve more significant results.
Now they can only continue to take a defensive position, although the enemy has suffered serious losses, but the main force still exists, and after suffering this big loss, the next attack will definitely not be so light on the enemy.
What the future will be is unknown.
So although he won a big victory, Zhuge Xiaosheng didn't have a smile on his face, he knew that a more brutal battle was still to come.
Now he thinks about the other party's feelings, I don't know if it hurts them this time?
