Chapter 35: The Might of the Iron Float

The enemy's hussars withdrew.

Instead, there were heavy cavalrymen who were all equipped with domed moth helmets, and their whole body and mounts were wrapped in heavy armor, revealing only a gap in their eyes.

These Tiefutu are all Jin Wushu pro-army, and the number is no more than 1,000 people.

I saw them lined up in a horizontal row, driving their mounts slowly as if they were walking in the countryside.

"This is the so-called Iron Float?"

In the middle of the barricade, someone muttered: "I heard that in the language of these Orientals, Tiefutu means iron tower, which is quite appropriate." ”

One of the peasant soldiers whispered, "Your Excellency should equip us with some axes, hammers, meteor hammers, and iron rods, as well as the heavy javelins of the Eagle Banner Brigade." ”

Renault looked at the enemies coming in the distance like a tide, but his heart did not waver.

He didn't know where he got such guts.

Those black-pressed cavalry, trampling on the ground, are like the titan giants of myths and legends, launching a charge, especially those iron horses equipped with human and horse, each riding is afraid of thousands of pounds.

If it weren't for these car formations, he felt that his people would definitely be swallowed up by the tide in an instant, and there would not even be bones left.

Bang –

The bowstring was released, and the sound of arrows shooting out rang in my ears.

In the iron floating slaughter equipped with the man's horse harness, someone immediately fell off his horse.

The woodland shooter whistled and looked smug, even if he was heavily armoured, it was impossible for the defenses to be equally strong everywhere, and if he hit those weak points, he could still shoot the enemy.

"It seems that there is nothing wrong with being a woodland shooter."

Looking at the woodland shooter who could accurately shoot an enemy soldier every time he drew his bow, Renault couldn't help but feel a little envious.

In contrast to the infantrymen of their ranks, who had to fight with their own lives for every enemy they killed, the woodland archers were able to shoot one person at a time with their bows, which seemed easy and safe to him.

He had enough credit and could choose to join any of the companies of the woodland archers, varangians, mounted archers, and hussars, but he had not yet had time to return from Limassol to Hebron to change jobs.

He originally wanted to be a hussar, but the hussars were full, and if he wanted to be promoted, he had to wait for vacancies.

Thanks to the prestige of the hussars, almost everyone will think about promoting the hussars after getting the opportunity to be promoted, even if the imperial cavalry is better equipped and has a higher stealth status.

Bang –

The woodland archer drew his bow again, but before he could think that a feathered arrow shot straight out of the enemy horse, through the narrow hole, and hit him directly in the head.

Feathered arrows, with a mixture of red and white liquid, nailed the woodland shooter's head to the plank behind the barricade.

Renault opened his mouth and said in his heart, a man should still carry a rifle across his horse, and being an archer with cold arrows really undermines the honor of a devout Christian.

Head of the city.

Song Jun, who stood higher and saw more realistically, was pale one by one.

From time to time, the archers were shot down by the Iron Floating Heavy Cavalry below, and in their hands, only ten pairs of crossbows and two giant crossbows with divine arms installed at the head of the city could pose a threat to these iron knots.

The county lieutenant's body was trembling, and he seemed to be able to understand the feelings of the Song army who had not yet met the Jin people, and they had directly collapsed and fled in all directions.

Any army must be terrified in the face of such a terrifying charge of an iron horseman.

Many of the soldiers buried their heads and hid behind the battlements and did not dare to show their heads.

Call them cowardly?

That's true.

But they have not gone through serious training, and they have never really been on the battlefield, and they have been regarded as craftsmen, coolies, building bridges and paving roads, and transporting grain and reclaiming famine.

Good men are not soldiers, and good women are not singing.

Xiang Jun and the drama are all ninth-rate things, if they really go to the battlefield, one by one they are not afraid of death, and kill Jin Guotie to ride a fart and pee, that is a big joke.

Someone crouched on the ground, shaking like chaff.

"Even the elite of the Western Army has been defeated, and these Hu people will definitely not be able to please us, so we might as well surrender in Kaecheng, so as not to anger those Jin people, and if we come in, we will slaughter the city."

"That is, we have no family wealth, no mother-in-law and children, the city is broken, and those old men are unlucky."

When the county lieutenant heard this, he was furious and kicked over the person: "What stinky fart you put your mother, give Lao Tzu to stand up, now that the Hu people mission is fighting head-on, you are just archery support." Don't even dare to do this, Lao Tzu is going to kill people directly! ”

Seeing the archers of those county officials, one by one, under the butcher's knife, the Xiang army trembled and straightened up to shoot arrows.

The arrows that can be shot are also weak and weak, and they can't pose any threat to the heavily armed Jin Guotie Futu.

The Iron Floating Tu that came like a tide, under the iron face, showed a cruel smile.

In their opinion, these "Song people" hiding in the shell of the king can still pose a slight threat to them, but once they fall into close combat, they will immediately collapse.

This is the norm when they face the Song army in the past few years.

Even if it is the so-called elite Western Army of the Song people, the forbidden army, if it is defended according to the city, there are still some threats, once they dare to go out of the city to fight, it will be three times five divided by two, and it will be directly crushed.

Jin Wushu looked indifferent, and said to the Han people around him who joined the army: "Do you know why the Song people are so weak and vulnerable? ”

The Han people joined the army with doubts on their faces: "I don't know, please ask the fourth prince to solve my doubts." ”

Jin Wushu laughed and said: "My big golden warrior, if you fight bravely, even if you are a military slave, you can achieve a high position, and if you are released, it is equivalent to a prince, so you will be happy in every battle." ”

"And I heard that your Song army is like a slave, and Wenchen can step on the heads of military generals without fear, why should such an army fight with my Dajin warriors?"

Joining the army was stunned, and his voice was a little bitter: "What the fourth prince said is extremely true, this Song family is rotten, and the mountains and rivers are good, and it should be used with great gold." ”

Jin Wushu listened with pride: "If you are lazy and take the land of Lu, you will be crowned the lord of the country of Lu, I will go back this time, and when the weather turns cold, I will inevitably go south again and take the land of a country for myself." ”

Joining the army complimented: "The fourth prince will get what he wants!" ”

Renault, however, did not know what the enemy commander-in-chief thought of them.

An enemy's spear had already poked at him through the gap between the chariots, and this shot was so deep that he had no room to dodge, so he had to raise his shield to block.

I only heard a loud sound.

This iron shield was actually pierced by this spear.

But the spear stabbed out, and it was difficult to withdraw it for a while, seeing that the golden man Tiefutu wanted to raise his foot and kick his shield, so as to draw the spear with his strength.

Renault has also experienced several big battles, where would he give up such a good opportunity, and while releasing the shield, he poked out with a single shot.

This shot was the essence of his months of training, and it hit the armor of the golden man's chest directly, but the opponent's armor was so strong that he couldn't pierce it, but he was so tired that he stumbled.

Then.

A huge force came from behind him.

It was a "Earlguard" with a big waist and a round waist, wearing heavy armor and holding a big axe, this man saw the fallen golden man make a comeback again, pushed Renault away, and slashed at the neck of Tiefutu with an axe, blood splattered.

The Earlguard kicked on the golden man, pulled out the two-handed axe that was deep in the golden man's neck bone, wiped the blood stains on his face, and laughed.

"Hey, to deal with this kind of person, you have to be good at using an axe!"

These Iron Floating Slaughter, in the face of this heavy barricade, will naturally not be stupid enough to directly collide with war horses.

When the slaughter was near, one of the people at the front commanded the Tiefutu under his command, dismounted one after another, and went to the base to kill.

The next few Mok commanded the Iron Floating Slaughter under his command to shoot arrows from a distance to suppress it.

The fact that the barricade stood against the wall greatly limited their charge, and if they were in the wilderness, they could have looked for its weakness around the barricade, but at the moment, there was only one side of the enemy facing the enemy, and the difficulty of finding its weakness was immediately raised by more than a notch.

More and more of the Iron Float infantry came to the barricades.

Some of them even raised their axes and tried to split the chains connected to the barricades in order to knock them down or pull them apart, but as soon as they got closer, they were pricked in the feet by the thistles hidden in the dirt.

The remaining veterans threw a heavy javelin at the right time, nailing a large number of these unshielded and rashly approaching Iron Floats.

Just listen to the bang.

The two Iron Butchers smashed open the carriage facing the outside of the barricade with their hammers, and several of the archers hiding inside looked frightened, and they had no time to dodge, and were immediately easily killed by them.

The battlefield has become a meat grinder.

Flesh and blood fly, blood splashes.

Marshal Gil stood in the center of the base, without the slightest look of worry on his face, and the Iron Float gave up his greatest advantage by abandoning the horse and fighting on foot.

"I want to see how many lives you have to take in exchange for our total annihilation."

In this battle, the Chinese army led by him was the role of the decoy from beginning to end.
