Chapter 754: Temptation (Medium)
The fluctuation of the sorcerer's teleportation spread, and the opposite side seemed to be the same, and the swift divine sense command caused both armies to react quickly.
I also heard a general-like man on the opposite side shouting a foreign language, which may be a word to encourage morale, and the cavalry shouted in unison, and a small group followed, spontaneously forming a huge arrow, and the war horses began to change from strolling to trotting, and the military spirit filled and covered the team, only to see a red torrent surging.
Two thousand war horses, eight thousand iron hooves, trampling the earth to cause the 'boom' vibration is becoming more and more obvious, the speed is still in the trotting warm-up state, it is estimated that the last four or five hundred meters into the range will be completely accelerated, this kind of shock is also a kind of coercion and deterrence, ordinary foot soldiers face the cavalry wall like advance, psychological pressure is more or less affected.
But the five thousand men calmly formed a formation, one by one with their quivers at their feet, staring at the torrent of cavalry, their faces fearless......
was originally an elite, but now it is a terracotta warrior, fearless, silently arranged, not chaotic at all, revealing a dark murderous aura.
Ning Yuan looked back, for him who retained his full sanity, this situation was a little chilling, but for the general, it was a little reassuring.
Who wouldn't want to command such an army?
Ning Yuan knew that a soldier like him was far superior to a Yin soldier, and according to some ancient records of his family, it should be a kind of combat power specially cultivated by the Immortal Dao of this domain to invade the outer regions......
"The spearmen are in formation, and the archers are preparing their arrows, and they will gather fire with me to strangle this cavalry!" he commanded coldly, his voice full of anger.
Let the enemy be unlucky, and you will have a chance to recover!
At this time, everyone looked at the top of the city, and was amazed for a while, for some reason, the spearmen lined up behind, and the middle temporarily vacated the aisle, ready to let the archers retreat at any time - this aisle is understandable, although the enemy archers are Taoist soldiers, and their own sabers are secondary weapons, but they can fight on foot with sabers, and they can fight on foot against the charge, carrying several tons of impulse, and the cavalry with spears, undoubtedly mantis arms as carts.
"But this is redundant, it is better to have the spearmen in front and the archers behind, is there a difference in projectile......?
People are talking a lot, feeling that they don't understand the enemy's commander-in-chief's thinking, and obviously don't look stupid, is there anything to take into account.
Ye Qing looked at the enemy's formation, but the corners of his mouth curled up...... This is an old rival.
The most correct thing in my impression is this kind of sea of soldiers, because ordinary terracotta warriors have low IQs, they retain instinctive combat experience, and complex orders cannot be understood.
There is no way to put it behind the gun formation, according to the angle and strength of the pre-projectile, you must have a certain field of vision, this is a weakness, once the powerful cavalry with the gas refining layer breaks through quickly, it is too late to retreat into the gun array to protect, and it is directly defeated.
The immortal ships in the outer regions can't bring war horses, and the pure infantry army dares to use the main force of archers, and it is also to defend against the cavalry, seeing that they have specially equipped magic arrows at their feet, this poses a threat to the gas refining layer, and there is no way to break through easily.
Those longbows are almost one person high, with a total length of one meter six or seven compound rib angle recurve bows, which have to be stretched sideways and with iron wrenches to be safely pulled apart.
From a distance in the city, there is a sea of bowstrings, and the arrows are also shining with starlight, which makes people tremble - this is no more than the Broken Army Star Rune Gun, the combined attack of the gun is only a few left and right, and the arrow is a hedgehog.
"Although the level of humane civilization in this foreign region is not high, the war technology is not inferior to that of this domain, and it is all selectively evolved......
Ye Qing looked at it and remembered, this length is basically the same as the famous English longbow in his memory, this size and length he has also seen when he went down to the Han Dynasty, the difference is that the Han style tradition is a compound recurve bow with tendons and corners, and I remember that there are also unearthed objects in later generations.
Judging from the fading brilliance, the so-called English longbow is not a compound bow with tendons and angles, nor is it recurved, but a simple straight-drawn wooden bow, which is superior to the small short bow of Dongying Island in that it is long enough, and its storage capacity is much inferior, according to the unearthed objects and repeated tests of the restored products, its average pulling force is about 160 pounds.
What's worse is that at that time, the qualified English longbowmen had to be trained from a young age to the arms were deformed, and there were not many people in Europe, it is said that there were only a few thousand, and almost all the specifications of the composite bows in the ancient army of the Han Dynasty reached this rally standard, and the number of columns was even more than 100,000.
Now that the war legion in the outer regions has opened here, in Ye Qing's opinion, the same lengthened version of the tendon angle compound recurve bow as the lower soil is even more dangerous.
Ye Qing looked at it and narrowed his eyes, he had always suppressed the enemy with an arrow array, and now with the entry of the outer ground group troops, his side would also face the same test, and he had been fully expanding the Fire Spirit Steam Engine for a year, and a large part of it was to prepare for this battle.
He didn't call Zhang Fangbiao out for a while, because the cavalry was no longer good at castration, so he hastily stopped, and he also wanted to see the comprehensive table of his army's response, and in case something happened, the real group could also save the scene at any time.
And...... I don't know if it's an illusion, Ye Qing felt that there was a gaze focused on him in the south, and he couldn't help but secretly think: "Is it the main gun of the Hongwu ship?"
"How much has it recovered? Or the foreign immortals inside, which system do you choose to restore first, is it a weapon or a power?"
Nuwa stood silently in front of him, the enemy's lock isolated.
"Don't look over there, pretend you don't know...... I feel the fairy garden, and it can take advantage of it at any time. Her voice was a little hoarse.
Ye Qing looked back at this girl, her green shirt was fluttering, her eyebrows were picturesque, and she had a powerful aura, standing motionless like a statue in the city, she couldn't see what her expression was, just like a Valkyrie.
Nuwa didn't care about his scrutiny, she only looked down at the battlefield of tens of thousands of people under the city, in her eyes, the battle under the city at this moment was just a game of chess for both sides.
............
At this moment, the cavalry shouted in unison, raised their banners, and charged forward.
"Wait for me to give the order to fire again!" Because of the terracotta warriors, even if these cavalry charged, overwhelmingly facing them, the terracotta warriors were not moved.
One mile, five hundred meters, thousands of cavalry whipped violently, quickened the pace of horses, the sound of hooves was like thunder, the iron stream rolled and rushed, and only the sound of hooves was heard in the heavens and the earth.
Even the bloodthirsty expression of the enemy can be seen more clearly, full of murderous and very hateful.
"Are they accelerating, do they know our range?" Ning Yuan thought about it, and had no arrow on the string, his eyes were fixed: "Shoot!"
The steady aiming rate of fire of ordinary Taoist soldiers is one arrow in ten seconds, and the rapid fire can reach five seconds to three seconds, but the accuracy is worrying, and it can only be used for large-scale arrow array projectiles, which is suitable.
"Wind-" The fluctuation of the command was transmitted everywhere in an instant.
The sound of strings sounded, and the breath of the north wind in the cold winter returned to this spring land.
"Shoot!" The next moment, a rain of arrows rose in the air and a black cloud, because it climbed extremely high, looking up from the cavalry's side, these arrows seemed to stop for almost a moment, and then fell rapidly, and accelerated rapidly under the pull of gravity......
"Spread out the formation!" the lieutenant shouted in the cavalry, bowing his head so that the hardest steel pointed helmet diagonally in the direction of the arrow.
These dark clouds composed of thousands of heavy arrows, all carrying various colors of magic light, intertwined into a killing storm.
"Military blessing, paper as armor!"
Zhang Fangbiao shouted the order, and he immediately activated the order.
"Boom!" The brilliance of the spell, which could only last for more than ten seconds, flashed on the cavalry's cuirass, and a golden armor was faintly put on it.
Zhang Fangbiao flipped on his side on the saddle, keeping his head facing the rain of arrows, and the spear flicked the arrows to attack the war horse from time to time, for their experience, after the protection and blessing of the magician, the magic arrows may not die if they are shot directly, and they may not die if they fall from the horse, and it is unlucky to stop and fall into the enemy formation.
Even so, the rain of arrows fell, and people or horses fell to the ground, and people screamed for horses, and there was chaos.
One of them, whose head happened to shoot through, was heavily armored on the horse, and the neck shot out large strands of blood like a fountain.
Another horse was hit by an arrow, neighed, and threw the horse several meters away.
Before the cavalry could stand up, they were hit by the horses behind them, trampled into flesh by the rolling cavalry, and the cavalry charged. The most feared thing is to fall off the horse, according to military regulations, at this time, the comrades behind will never allow their subordinates to show mercy, and they will directly collide and step into a pulp.
Ning Yuan, who watched the results, couldn't help frowning in the face of the rolling cavalry.
"The arrows are not chaotic, the enemy army can be called elite, and there are many magicians......" Ning Yuan, seeing it, ordered: "Keep shooting, see how much mana they have to consume." ”
Above and below the city, people on both sides looked solemn, counting how many cavalry fell from their horses in the first few waves of arrows, so as to estimate the strength of the enemy.
Ye Qing stood behind Nuwa, but he only glanced at the battlefield, his expression did not change, and said to Ma Chao: "The enemy's bow is good, not inferior to the bow and crossbow captured by the state capital, go back and capture more." ”
"Yes!"
The generals responded, most of their minds were still on the battlefield, waiting for a fight, who still wanted to look back...... But invisibly, they all have ideas, and they feel that the lord sees that he will win.
Only Huang Zhong and a few other archery generals had their eyes lit up, and they nodded for this: "It's not inferior to the bow of the Han soil, but it's a pity that I haven't seen the crossbow from the outer regions." ”
"The lord, the position of the main force in the rear, the process of the two generals Jiang Chen and Guan Yu. Ji Caizhu walked over quickly and presented the interrogation.
Ye Qing stopped talking and glanced at it, estimating that he would be able to meet Jinsha Station in a while, and he was not in a hurry to go over, and smiled: "The crossbow system in the foreign region is good, but they are poor and bad, and human life is cheaper than utensils, so they are not good at heavy crossbows, and they think it is not worth it, it is better to recruit a few more archers, and the Taoist soldiers are reserved and their own strength is not easy to get tired, and they also prefer fast bows......"
Everyone present was speechless for a while, even if they didn't understand military affairs, they could feel a naked chill, this kind of attack civilization developed by poor mountains and bad waters, for the ethnic groups under the farming dynasty, they were instinctively disgusted.
Zhuge Liang sighed: "Similarly, we are trying our best to block the technology of the alien race in Xiatu, which is the most important thing to avoid from the surrounding Hu tribes, and now the outer regions are simply a strengthened version of the Xiongnu's technology, or the evil way of agricultural civilization......"
