Bloody rain, definitely bloody rain!

In the same way as the archers of the Sui army, the ballista that was originally facing the enemy all turned at an angle, interweaving a fishing net composed of thick crossbow arrows and countless crescents in front of their position, and the 20,000 cowardly Xue troops took the initiative to pounce into the fishing net and were constantly dying and struggling.

The heavy cavalry of the cowardly Xue army, who could ignore the dead bodies of the people and horses all the way, came to the Sui army, and encountered a crossbow arrow like a javelin, and a round of bright crescent moons, and the heavy rope chain armor and plate armor were penetrated like cardboard in front of the thick crossbow gun, and the most frightening thing for the cowardly Xue army was that such a crossbow often penetrated not only one knight, but two, Three, or even more, even in the densest area of the knights of the Cowardly Xue Army, a single crossbow actually penetrated six knights, although the chest of the last knight was not penetrated by the thick crossbow, but the crossbow spear with the thickness of a small arm still opened a huge blood-colored hole in the knight's chest.

This is not the weapon that the knights are most afraid of, and the bright crescent moon is the real reason for the collapse of the cowardly Xue army.

This bay crescent moon did not take the lives of most knights, more of it flew against the ground, cutting off the thick horse legs, so that the war horse with a missing leg and the knight on the war horse fell to the ground together, and what entered the knights' ear chakra was the creepy "click" sound that constantly sounded, and after each "click", it represented a knight's head and the earth kissed - that is the sound of the strong and fragile neck of the human body breaking!

When the neck is broken, people generally do not die immediately, but will watch in pain and sobriety as the iron hooves of the war horse driven by their robes step towards them, and finally a darkness comes.

Not only that, but there are also a large number of crescent moons after cutting off the horse's legs, changing the direction of flight, diagonally cutting through the waist of the knights on the horse, the heavy and sturdy armor of the knights can not be blocked for a moment in front of the rapidly cut crescent moon, and then there are countless knights who shouted and disappeared from the horse's back half of their bodies, or panicked and threw away the weapons in their hands, and tightly covered the place where the crescent moon flew with both hands, hoping that there was still a chance to save, but unfortunately, almost no knight could cover the splattered blood through the armor......

If there is any hope for the knights at this moment, then it is estimated that what they hope for most is that these ballistas can only be fired once, or not too far away, leaving them a chance and time to escape.

However, Li Hu's ballista made them disappointed and desperate!

Because the 800 ballistae are all of the best quality goods that can be fired continuously, this is the masterpiece of the craftsmen in Longxi led by the Li Hu family - the ballista cart can fire ten ballistas in a row, and the crescent moon can fire twenty in a row.

And all the ballistas can be replaced with new weapons at a very fast speed, and the only thing that can slightly restrict the launch speed of the ballista is the time to rewind: it only takes ten breaths!

Of course, Li Hu, who is old in the battle array, will not forget this flaw that is not a flaw, because in the big war, it is inevitable to encounter the desperate charge of the barbarians, in that case, the time when the ballista is rewound will become the fatal wound of the Sui army, and between ten breaths, it is enough for the elite cowardly Xue army of the barbarian army to cross the distance of five hundred steps and kill in front of the ballista array.

Even if the ballista array completes the launch of the second wave, within a hundred steps, the elite of the cowardly Xue army will definitely have time to fire at least one wave of arrows or javelins! And the soldiers on the ballista position, for the needs of the battle, are often not armoured, let alone javelins, even if it is a wave of arrows, they can cause heavy casualties, and these soldiers are also the wave with the highest technical level in the Sui army, and it is very difficult to cultivate. Once a loss has occurred, it is extremely difficult to replenish it.

Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the ballista soldiers, Li Hu also had another means, that is, to arrange the corresponding javelins and soldiers behind the ballista soldiers, all of whom were strong men with strong bodies and superior arm strength, and their task was to block the distance between the front and flank of the ballista men within one hundred and fifty steps with continuous javelin throwing after the ballista was launched, so as to ensure that no enemy had a chance to approach. Also in order to cooperate with the operation of the ballista soldiers, Li Hu also prepared another equipment, that is, in advance in front of the position two hundred steps away from the digging of a number of longitudinal deep ditches, not wide, only to accommodate a thick bowl mouth of a horse rejection stake, and then connect a rope to the tail of the horse rejection stake, tow to their own position, keep the stake and the ground stable, once the enemy cavalry is likely to break through the distance of two hundred and fifty steps, will pull the rope back, so that the support plate out of the horse rejection pile, so that the horse rejection pile will be pulled by its own weight, the tail tribe into the deep ditch, and the sharp pile head in front of the head of the war, facing the galloping war horse。

This is an extremely ruthless arrangement, because the Sui army will often launch the enemy cavalry when it is less than ten steps away from the position of the horse rejection post, at this time, the galloping cavalry will often be directly overturned by the upturned horse rejection stake, and the subsequent cavalry will also be caught off guard, even if there is a change of direction, it is too late to move, and then it will hit the cavalry in front, or be directly tripped.

In particular, the arrangement of such horse-repellent piles is often staggered and more than one, so even if the cavalry in the rear is flexible enough, accidents cannot be avoided.

After all the last rejection stakes are in use, they will basically fall to the ground with the striking cavalry, and they will not be able to keep the set up intact at all, so there is no way to prevent the re-firing of the reconditioned ballista!

And after encountering the blockage of the horse rejection stake, the impact speed of the barbarian cavalry will often drop significantly, just giving the prepared ballista a second chance to fire - those cavalry that have slowed down will lose the opportunity to escape because of the reduced speed and the arrival of the follow-up cavalry! It will also make the second shot of the ballista obtain greater results.

The impact of the 20,000 cowardly Xue army was also lined up in five rows, with 4,000 knights in each row, but as the most elite troops of the barbarian army, their discipline was also stricter, and the arranged formation could still remain intact in the high-speed gallop. But it was this integrity that brought the most heavy casualties to the most elite cavalry unit of the barbarian army.

Under the two shots of 800 ballistas and the throwing of the javelinmen in the middle, the cowardly knights in the front three rows were all wiped out, and the 8,000 cowardly knights in the back also suffered a lot of casualties, but after all, they were the most elite cavalry of the barbarian army, and they actually retreated to a safe distance in the dense crossbow guns and crescent moon knife wheel shots, and still maintained the integrity of the formation.

It's just that they and the barbarian cavalry around them have no other chance.

Because the 20,000 heavy cavalry of the Sui army has already attacked under the leadership of Li Qing!

Li Qing is still in the same outfit as when he went out to battle a few days ago, with black and purple armor, a black and purple hideous mask, a sharp lance in his hand, and a black wild horse king with a divine horse in his crotch.

However, unlike a few days ago, everyone in the Sui army now knows that this is the daughter of General Pingbei and Li Hu, the Duke of Tang Guo! Not only is she a general, but she is also a peerless fierce general who has beheaded generals and captured the flag, which has made almost all the soldiers of the Sui army have an inexplicable anger in their hearts -- is it not as good as a small woman who is seven feet tall in Kansai? (Although Li Qing's current height is not shorter than the so-called Kansai Han, and even taller than many men.) ）

However, this kind of arrogance is not a bad thing, at least it will make all the Sui troops have a strong desire to charge into battle as soon as possible and completely defeat the barbarian army: whether it is beheaded or captured, it is a military merit, which is definitely the fastest way to live a good life for the Great Sui Empire, which continued the military merit and government soldier system of the previous dynasty!

At the same time that the remaining more than 6,000 cowardly Xue troops of the elite of the barbarian army were watching from their horses, the heavy armored cavalry led by Li Qing had already rushed up to speed and reached the peak moment of heavy cavalry combat, as if a red iron rod had stabbed into the melanin ant nest. The opening of the waves is the unstoppable momentum of the Sui army, and the corpses everywhere are a portrayal of the Sui army's attack.

Although the more than 7,000 cowardly Xue soldiers are the most elite troops of the barbarians, but the cowardly Xue knights who have lost their edge and morale are not much different from those ordinary barbarian cavalry at this moment, except for the armor on their bodies, they resisted the swords and guns of a Sui soldier for them, and there is no other effect, because what they encountered was a spear and big knife wielded by Sui soldiers one after another, and under the continuous impact, even the most elite cowardly Xue army knights only had to turn over and fall off their horses.

It's okay if these knights are light cavalry, because they can still stand up and rely on their own flexibility to dodge the incoming Sui cavalry, but they are heavy cavalry, the most powerful troops of the barbarian army to break through the enemy's defense line head-on, and they are wrapped in iron armor from head to toe, so that they leave the war horse, and almost become a useless iron can!

This is the greatest weakness of the heavy cavalry. In fact, it was not only the barbarian cowardly Xue army that was like this, but also the heavy cavalry of the Sui army. A heavy armor requires a strong enough horse, and even then, the heavy cavalry needs to have enough distance to launch an attack, and once they get caught in a struggle, then what awaits the heavy cavalry is often destroyed: the heavy cavalry without the ability to maneuver, even a farmer with a pitchfork in his hand can easily put it on the ground.

Therefore, almost all heavy cavalry will not fall in love with other arms, but will only repeatedly attack, widen the distance, and then attack. And on a related note, after the heavy cavalry has launched a charge, it basically does not turn, only a straight line forward!
