125 Punching (I)

However, unlike the steel torrent imagined by Huang Chang, it seems that not all chariots can be used to charge - Linquan County dispatched more than 2,000 Flying Bear troops this time, about a hundred chariots, but at this time, there were only a dozen or so chariots lined up in front of the formation. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info sparsely pulled, far away from each other, and it didn't look imposing at all.

The body is not the same as before, but only half: two wheels, including the carriage, are only the front half, with a metal bracket at the back, and a small wheel at the lower end to form a third fulcrum, which looks stable. Huang Chang is proficient in machinery, and he can see at a glance that the bracket can be used as a buckle when it is turned over, and when two of these half-sections are put together, it is a standard four-wheeled vehicle.

There were still four horses pulling the cart, but all four horses were covered in extremely heavy armor, and they were covered tightly from head to leg, so that four hooves were exposed. In front of the four horses, about chest-length height, there is a semicircular metal ring, the front end of which slightly extends beyond the horse's head, and the sides extend to the side of the horse, covering the front of the four horses.

The outer edge of the metal ring was extremely sharp, in fact, it was a shiny curved blade, and at the top there was a long, thick spear tip, which looked terrifying—it was obvious that whoever was unfortunate enough to stand in front of this chariot would inevitably be cut in two by a semicircular blade, even if he was not pierced by the spear on the spot. Best of all, the shield is not directly attached to the horse, but extends from the carriage by a long bar, which means that in the event of a collision, the recoil force is first applied to the body, not to the horse itself.

"The guy who designed this set has a lot of experience, but it's a bit of a trick - I don't think there's any need for that spear. ”

Huang Chang only glanced at it a few times, and then saw the mystery of this metal collar, out of the professional habits of his previous life, he couldn't help but open his mouth to discuss a few words, but was heard by Sima Jie next to him, and asked casually:

"What do you mean by that?"

"The purpose of this metal ring is mainly to protect the horse. If you encounter an obstacle, the arc makes it easier to push it away. But with such a spear protruding in front, if it hits the target, it will jam the entire chariot, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Huang Chang calmly commented, and Sima Jie smiled and nodded:

"Little friend, but if you look closer, you will find that the end of the spear is a wooden handle, and if you really want to pierce something, it can easily break—in fact, it is mainly a scare, so that the opponent's men or horses do not stand in front of the chariot, and this is the purpose. ”

As the two spoke, the chariots began to move and charged towards the Salvationist cavalry. On the other side, even though Li Xin scolded angrily, he could only order his subordinate cavalry to launch a hedge. Otherwise, if you let the enemy chariot rush over while your own cavalry is still stationary, it will be the most terrible.

And at this time, one of the most powerful weapons on the chariot finally showed its fangs—only a few soft clicks were heard, and a sharp blade of length popped out from each side of the chariot carriage, spreading out to both sides like wings, and at once sealing all the seemingly spacious space next to the chariot.

"Now you know why these vehicles are so sparsely arranged, right?"

Sima Jie smiled lightly, and it made him feel quite happy to be able to surprise this young man who looked very shrewd and extremely strong, especially after he had just shown his hand.

Huang Chang paid attention to these new weapons that had never appeared in the history of his previous life, and saw how they performed in actual combat. Now it looks pretty good - more than a dozen chariots "spread their wings" at the same time, forming a very wide line of assault, pressing towards the cavalry that was approaching at high speed. Each chariot had four or five members, two in front of them in heavy armor, one of whom was a rein, who was concentrating on the chariot with both reins, and the other was armed with a long gege that protected the emperor and dealt with approaching enemies.

Behind them, two or three archers with strong bows and crossbows were tasked with attacking distant targets, all of whom were lightly armed and relied mainly on the carriage flaps and shields hanging from them to protect themselves. But Huang Chang noticed that there were still a number of spears and halberds and other heavy weapons stacked in the carriage, obviously if they really went to the chaos and needed hand-to-hand combat, these shooters were not without self-preservation.

However, compared to the arrows shot by the people on the chariot, the most terrifying part of these chariots is actually the wing blades poking out on both sides - the huge size of the chariot, and the hideous spike in front of it really frightened many people, and the enemy cavalry saw such a big guy rushing towards him, both the rider and the horse itself would naturally avoid the front, and instead chose to pass by. But this time it was right in the trap - the blade was about the height of the horse's legs, and the side of the chariot was actually the most lethal.

The armies of the two sides collided as if two tides were meeting each other, and in an instant countless blood-red fragments burst out - the first wave of Salvation cavalry quickly staggered past the chariots, and then they were overturned on their backs with a terrible cry of sorrow. Many poor horses were rolling and struggling on the ground, and the wounds on their legs, severed alive, splattered blood like fountains, staining everything around them red.

Ji Ruo screamed softly, turned his head and didn't dare to look at it again, obviously a little unbearable to this cruel scene. But Huang Chang next to him didn't care - the two armies were fighting, and this level of bloody scene was not enough to shock him. He even had the strength to observe the blades in action—he had thought that such an impact would cause many blades to break, after all, the force was mutual, but this was not the case: those blades were movable at the junction between their roots and the carriage, and when they encountered a relatively hard, uncut obstacle, they would turn inward, from the original "one" swing state to the "eight" shape swept back, so as to glide over the obstacle, and then automatically bounce back into place.

This ingenious construction caused most of the wing blades to remain in their original shape after impact, with only a few broken or twisted pieces, and the lethality of the convoy was basically undiminished, so they still did not stop, and rushed directly towards the opponent's second formation with murderous energy. The Salvation cavalry that swept past them was the opposite—after the chariot, only a few soldiers who were particularly lucky enough not to be swept away by the wings were still on their horses. But it didn't help, they were too few in number, and they were quickly slashed by all the Flying Bear cavalry following behind the chariot.
