Chapter 755: Temptation (II)
Ye Qing didn't answer, there is no absolute right in this world, but the collision of power will not lie, it is evil, and you will only know it after a battle.
However, it is still early in Hanchang County, there are only more than 100 people in Hanchang Town, the number is simply shabby, on the other hand, the Han people have always been manpower, productivity and technological advantages, no wonder the Hanchen have this feeling.
In terms of military technology, since the Warring States Period, the Qin and Han dynasties have been famous for their strong crossbows, and Han Ce's record in the "Warring States Policy": "The world's strong bows and crossbows are all from Han, Xizi, Shaofu, Shili, and Distance, all shot 600 steps away."
Everyone knows that the large-scale large-scale rhubarb crossbow of the Han system has a firing range of 500 steps, as well as two stone crossbows, three stone crossbows, five stone crossbows, six stone crossbows, eight stone crossbows, ten stone crossbows, and twenty crossbows......
Now it is impossible to maintain this range advantage on the ground, the manufacturing cycle of the big yellow crossbow is too long and is excluded, Li Huaiji, the young eunuch of the Hanhou Mansion, has newly developed a fire tail arrow for this purpose, and the outer immortal ship is a longbow with a batch of composite ribs and horns, which is not as good as the range of the earthless rhubarb crossbow, but the precision arrow is inferior in cost as an expensive elixir, and the superimposed range is not bad at all.
Ye Qing saw that they were worried, and only said: "Don't worry, the enemy's technology is comparable to ours, but there is no logistics base, the combat equipment will run out, we have a production advantage, and the soldiers are endless, as long as we pay attention to stabilizing the grain and grass and preserving the veterans, we can mobilize at any time to flood the enemy with a sea of soldiers, and in turn collect the enemy's weapons for our own use." ”
"Moreover, it can't all be a tailwind, this is just the load of an immortal ship, there will be more in the future, we have to practice and adapt first. ”
On the city wall, the cavalry below has been subjected to three rains of arrows, but this distance, under the cavalry, there is only three times.
"Kill!"
Seeing that he was about to rush into the enemy line, he saw the magician order: "Spearmen!"
The terracotta warriors are expensive to obey orders unconditionally, and suddenly a heavy spearman is on top, and this terracotta warrior is taking the initiative to meet it, looking at the death, but in fact it is also sending death.
As soon as the cavalry can be delayed, they will fall into the crossfire of the two-faced terracotta archers - they will not care whether they live or die, and will directly cover them indiscriminately.
In the rain of arrows, I heard a roar: "Grenadier, fire and thunder!"
Hundreds of small black dots flashed in the air, densely packed with small leaf fire mines, thrown towards this group of spearmen, and the next moment, in the "boom" of firelight, the explosion swept -- because it was a small grenade of the cavalry offensive type, there were no pre-engraved vertical and horizontal dents on the steel surface, and not many fragments were formed, so as not to injure one's own people because the explosion radius was larger than the throwing radius.
But it also penetrated this group of guns in an instant, the ground was full of stumps, and the blood flowed like a stream, and when the cavalry in front of them crossed the horses, the blood splashed by the iron hooves stained the men and horses behind them red, and no one cared about this in the dense rain of arrows.
"Don't entangle, don't pause, follow me to the left flank of the enemy and break through!"
Zhang Fangbiao roared that he was in the lead, or the steel armor of the senior military generals was bright, and it seemed to be majestic, but in fact, it was too conspicuous because it was the most powerful by the enemy, and the arrows were inserted into the body, like dense hedgehogs, all of which were inserted into the armor and fixed, and even hung on the double horse felt.
The Dao will be equipped with a full-body heavy armor, which is covered with chain mail, another layer of silk specially designed to prevent arrows, and the golden armor technique inspired by the skin and its own spirit pool, the opponent's strong bow is not able to penetrate the arrows at close range, unless facing a rare archery spirit pool real person, otherwise this kind of Dao will be immune to long-range attack status, and the power of the army on the battlefield is incomparable to the ordinary spirit pool real person.
As a special type of heavy cavalry, the only difficulty lies in the horsepower, Ye Qing had the foresight to ask the king of Yujun to turn two dragon horses, and the first batch of heirs were bred in Nanlian Mountain in recent years, which were slightly inferior, but the number was enough for the Taoist generals to use, the carrying capacity of the war horses of the dragon bloodline was extremely strong, and they could ignore most of the encirclement and fatigue methods against the cavalry, if it were not for the task of destroying the enemy's transport convoy, Zhang Fangbiao would have the heart to kill back and forth in the enemy's military formation- So far, he didn't know that the lord was already watching from above, and he was bent on breaking through the enemy's interception to destroy the baggage convoy.
In addition to Zhang Fangbiao, the armor and horses of the Dao soldiers are slightly worse, but because they are not entangled with the gun array, the four-layer refining body of the Dao soldiers has reached a limit, the nerve reflex speed is already very strong, and the chopping hands and feet can still insist on killing the enemy after spell treatment, and the bite can also bite ordinary people, and the survivability in the battlefield of the same level is very tenacious, and only the absolute power will be crushed on a large scale.
It may be that the Ye Huolei explosion just now interfered with the projection of the Terracotta Warriors, and after a few showers of arrows, the results that Ning Yuan saw this time only dropped twenty or thirty horses, which hardly affected the speed of advancement.
"Kill!" As soon as he rushed into the formation, he swung his sword and slashed, and immediately became a mass.
"The red rider still can't effectively break through!"
"But we obviously have a lot of wins with equipment!"
Seeing this, Ye Qing knew in his heart that the local fire spirit steam engine, paper mills, and textile industry were convenient, and the Han Hou army used a forged cuirass on the front, and special anti-arrow paper armor on the sides and back, and the horses were good horses robbed or imported from the grassland, and cotton felt protection, which was both light and fast while ensuring the defense against arrow rain, and was essentially light cavalry, considering that they also had a special long-range weapon, or it could be said that the cuirassiers in the early industrial society.
On the outer territory array, the generals and scattered cultivators didn't know what was going on, and they all stared: "These crimson bright light armors, could it be that they are all iron armor?"
The war culture of the two domains is different, but the protection of the human body is only adapted to local conditions, plate armor, chain armor, scale armor, cotton armor, paper armor...... Each has its own strengths and weaknesses, but for large-scale installation, the key is only the cost problem, the whole piece of chest and abdomen plate armor forging, requires high mechanical technology and strong power, there is no Ye Qing's fire spirit stone steam engine elsewhere, the cost is unacceptably high.
"This Hanhou looks very rich. ”
Sanxiu frowned and judged, evoking the bad memory of being oppressed by the Xianmen, they were the most unhappy with this kind of enemy with powerful resources, but they were not worried about safety, the enemy just rushed just now only the flank forward squad, specially used for fishing hooks, because of the distance, the lethality of the arrows was not the strongest, and the strong bow was so close that no armor could carry it within fifty meters, unless it was on the shield.
But the enemy seemed to know this, so he did not rush at his own position, but only took turns attacking on the flanks, trying to penetrate the interception formation, so as to blow up the baggage convoys behind him with small leaf fire mines.
In the face of such a crazy assault on the cavalry, even if the terracotta warriors loosened their formations in a few places, the whole army was well-trained and constantly changed formations and shifted directions, always protecting the retreat of the rear convoy, and every time it was quickly adjusted, the real big arrow formation was not something that could be defeated with one blow.
"It's an elite ......"
"Arrogant...... Is this bullying no one in our army?"
"If it weren't for the fact that the middle and high-level spiritual pools of this army have not been recovered, otherwise this thief will definitely look good......"
Ning Yuan listened to these discussions, and only shouted: "Don't care about this general, no matter how strong he is a Lingchi real person, what can he do? Gather fire to the personal soldiers behind him! If there are no soldiers, he will naturally have to withdraw!"
According to the customs of the city-state system, these elite cavalry were regarded as the valiant city lord's subordinate knights.
"Gathering fire to block the left flank and allowing the transport convoy to speed up must not affect the delivery of resources to the immortal ships...... The enemy's goal is to break through the past and block the baggage convoy. ”
"Yes, City Lord. ”
Because it was a three-stage round of shooting, at this time, a round of arrow rain followed by another round of arrow rain suppression, endless, only six or seven rounds of arrow rain effort, although the absolute distance between the cavalry and the baggage convoy behind was close to two hundred meters, but a group of cavalry fell in the charge, and the impact force gradually became smaller.
"Blood and morality alone are useful, what else do you need to do?"
Ning Yuan sneered, and settled down, although this Dao general is brave, he is obviously brainless, even if he rushes to the front of the main team of bows and arrows, there is also a gun array, as well as a spirit stone array-the spirit stone wealth accumulated in the city over the past generations, all of them have been brought, although it is not suitable for repairing the Hongwu ship because the aura is not compatible with the outer realm, it is no problem to form a protective array, how can a real person in this area lead the team to break through?
Unless the number of such real people in the enemy is increased by more than ten times or even dozens of times, he does not feel that there is a possibility of losing.
Any civilization that has survived to this day has a brilliant past, as the premier Iron Crown City Lord under the city-state alliance, the ancestors also grew up in the slaughter of beasts and wild clans, although the fruits opened up made a wedding dress for the middle immortal sect of the Iron Crown Sect, making Ning Yuan have an absolute fear of the Immortal Dao, but he has absolute confidence in the war at the human level.
The two thousand cavalry were neatly armored and rushed quickly, but once they fell into the military formation, they were immediately covered by a column of archers directly and indiscriminately, and they were shot together with their own people, forcing another roar: "Grenadier, fire and thunder!"
"Boom, boom!"
The longbow has a rate of fire several times faster than a crossbow, and he is very experienced in taking three rounds of fire, and he sees wave after wave, and the cavalry keeps falling, and everyone knows that this cavalry charge still has a long way to go, unless there is a steady stream of leaf fire thunder.
"This thunder law is so strange. Ning Yuan frowned, this is not very powerful, the weak one can, but it is strange to use it again and again for the Dao soldiers.
"Hurry up, don't be sluggish, support the cavalry brothers in front!"
And with the cover of the cavalry in front, Sun Ce had already led 3,000 archers out of the city, and at this time, as soon as the formation was completed, he ordered: "Shoot!"
With a "buzz" of round shooting, the terracotta warriors have a low IQ and cannot understand complex orders, but these forces can be pre-projectile according to the angle and strength.
A group of arrows rained down, and suddenly a group of terracotta warriors fell in front, Sun Ce ordered to advance on foot, thinking: "It would be nice if the portable catapult could be brought out, directly bombard the enemy's protective array into slag, and teach them what is called infantry and artillery coordination!"
"It's a pity that it's too troublesome for the cart to squeeze out of the city gate, and the enemy's baggage convoy has already run away......"
Sun Ce may not be as good at personnel as his younger brother Sun Quan, but he is a general with extremely high tactical literacy, and he is the best at cooperating with all branches of the army, and he will instinctively choose appropriate tactics for any occasion.
This wave of progressive progress looks troublesome, and the speed of advance is not fast, but it can constitute a steady stream of firepower confrontation, and now it is still the effect of covering the stalemate of shooting, until the cavalry forces the enemy's arrow array to withdraw into the gun array for protection, and as soon as the enemy's arrow rain is interrupted, this side immediately forms an absolute advantage in long-range firepower.
This is combined with the cavalry's charging momentum, and it becomes a three-dimensional attack explosive force, which can directly form the maximum damage to the enemy's protective array and disrupt the order of the gun array.
"The premise is that at least half of the cavalry can complete the charge, and not die in the charge. Sun Ce was a little worried, and looked back at the city, he saw the lord coming just now, there should be arrangements behind him, right?
In the eyes of everyone, Ye Qing remained silent, only stood behind her according to Nuwa's instructions, and observed the changes in the strength of the battlefield below.
"Now it seems that the arrow array in the outer region is by no means inferior to ours......" With the integrity of his own military system, Ye Qing's grasp and use of various arms of the ground war has become more and more keen: "The only weakness is this, that is, the rigidity of command." ”
