Chapter 251: Under the Thorn Tower Mountain (3)
The dozen or so Thorn Tower leaders behind the Thorn Tower Cavalry were shocked after witnessing the power of the red-coated ballista in horror. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info such a big killing weapon, if there were more, Yuan Qi would not have to confront his own people at all, and he would be able to shoot himself and others into a hornet's nest directly hundreds of steps away.
After the shock, more than a dozen Thorn Tower leaders roared hysterically: "Rush all of them! Rush up! Destroy those big guys!" Obviously, the impression left by the red-clothed ballistae was too terrifying, forcing them to make a crazy decision, even if they were filled with human lives, they must destroy those formidable red-clothed ballistas. But they forgot that the red-clothed ballistas were made by the Han people, even if they could destroy this batch of ballistas, could they still prevent Wang Yezi and others from continuing to produce such ballistas?
Following the 100,000 cavalry that had been put into the battlefield earlier, uh, it should be said that 90,000, under the repeated blows, the Thorn Tower had lost nearly 10,000 men in a short period of time. Following these 90,000 people, the remaining Thorn Tower people, also under the urging of their respective leaders, instigated their war horses to rush out, leaving only more than 10,000 people as guards, staying in the rear to guard more than a dozen Thorn Tower leaders.
The sound of Zheng Zheng was loud, and the third shelling came as promised. Once again, the Thorn Cavalry fell like wheat. After three rounds of reloading and shelling, the Returning Army had no chance to reload, because the first batch of Thorn Tower cavalry was about to be killed.
Although the red-coated ballista is hugely powerful, its real effect, in Yuan Qi's view, is not to kill the enemy, after all, the firing interval of the red-coated ballista is a hard wound that cannot be ignored. Hence the positioning of the red-coated ballista by Yuan Qi. It is on the basis of intimidating the enemy's heart. Once a big killing weapon like a red-coated ballista is put into the battlefield, it will immediately have the effect of preemptively, greatly damaging the opponent's morale and laying the foundation for victory, which is where the real value of the red-coated ballista lies. Of course, if Yuan Qi has thousands of red-coated ballistas in the future, then it will be a different matter, and two direct salvos will be fired. You can easily take down your opponents. However, this may be too small, not to mention that the cost of the red-clothed ballista is extremely high, and it is impossible for Wang Yezi and other craftsmen to devote all their time and energy to the production of the ballista, otherwise. They don't have to do anything else.
Raising the Mixed Yuan Halberd, Yuan Qi's roar resounded between heaven and earth: "Array! Meet the enemy!"
With Yuan Qi's roar. On his left and right sides and in front of him. At the same time, three roars sounded, and the three elites brought by Yuan Qi shouted their respective slogans with all their might.
"Heaven returns, there is victory and no defeat! Kill ——!"
"Wyvern's Wrath, Advance and Retreat!Kill ——!"
"The earth is returned. Win and be undefeated! Kill ——!"
After Yuan got up, the 40,000 recruits led by Zhang Chong and Xu Bao were enthusiastic in the sound of three elite and passionate slogans. They did not have their own slogan, but this did not hinder their determination to kill the enemy. The 40,000 recruits, under the leadership of Zhang Chong and Xu Fang, burst out with a thunderous roar at the same time: "Kill, kill!!kill ——!!!"
The land under the command of Ma Yue was divided into two, half of them protected the red-clothed ballista and retreated, and the other half of the people, under the leadership of Ma Yue, raised the horse chopping knife in their hands, and in front of Yuan Qi's body, with solid Mingguang armor and sharp blades, built a great wall of steel composed of flesh and blood.
Zhao Hu did not rush into the battlefield, but led the five thousand days to return to Yuan Qi's side, Zhao Hu never forgot his duties, and took Yuan Qi's safety as the first priority, although the blood in his chest at the moment was already boiling, and he couldn't help but want to rush up and kill him, but the soldiers took obedience to orders as their duty, and this was what Yuan Qi told him on the first day of the army. Today, ten years later, Zhao Hu still remembers it clearly.
Unlike Zhao Hu, the Flying Dragon Army led by Qi Tian was originally the main force of this war, and after Qi Tian looked back and saw Zhao Hu's movements, he no longer had any scruples in his heart, and immediately commanded the Flying Dragon Army, instigated war horses, and killed the Thorn Tower cavalry. The Wyvern Army slaughtered at the side of the Earth Returning Army, bringing up a cloud of smoke and dust, as if it were a long dragon, and fiercely crashed into the ranks of the Thorn Tower Cavalry.
Qi Tian's halberd was raised, expanding and contracting in the air like electricity, Qi Tian rose up and split the two Thorn Tower cavalry in front of him into pieces with one blow, and the war officially began. Behind Qi Tian, the elites of the Wyvern Army wielded the double-edged and bifurcated Rahu Dragon Horn Spear, showing the power of the Wyvern Nine Styles to the fullest, or stabbing, chopping, splitting, or picking, and constantly slashing the Thorn Tower cavalry off their horses.
Naturally, the Thorn Towers were not willing to be restrained and began their counterattack. The Thorns were mostly cavalrymen, so there was only one type of weapon, the sabre. The Thorn Tower Man raised the saber in his hand, and it was a burst of slashing at the Wyvern Army near him, who expected, the Wyvern Army relied on the block in the Dragon Xiang Nine Style, and easily blocked most of the Stabbing Tower people's slashes, only a small part of them really slashed on the body of the Wyvern Army, but before the Thorn Tower people cheered, the blades in their hands were like slashing on a stubborn stone, and they were shocked back. The sturdy iron Mingguang armor on the Wyvern Army's body blocked the sabers of the Thorn Towers, and none of the Wyvern Army was injured, and the most serious thing was that the Mingguang armor on his body was only seen as a dent.
As an elite army under Yuan Qi's command, Yuan Qi's cost to the Flying Dragon Army is huge every day. Yuan Qi equipped them with sturdy iron bright light armor, sharp Rahu dragon horn spears, powerful riding bows, and war horses with strong weight-bearing running ability. They have the common characteristics of light and heavy cavalry, and can also perform actions that are impossible for archers to complete, coupled with strong armor and sharp dragon horns, they are like moving castles, they can defend as strong as heavy cavalry, but also have the mobility of light cavalry, and at the same time, their lethality is also terrifying.
The bravery of the Wyvern Army blocked the advance of the Thorn Tower Cavalry, so that the sprinting Thorn Tower Cavalry had to stop the sprinting horses. There is no way, in the face of a mobile castle like the Wyvern Army, the thinly armored Thorn Tower Cavalry will no longer dare to collide with the Wyvern Army after some attempts, because the two sides are not in the same weight class at all.
When the Wyvern Army successfully blocked the footsteps of the Thorn Tower Cavalry in the front, the Thorn Tower Cavalry who had no time to stop the war horse behind was unable to see the situation in front. Still rushing up quickly, but there was a collision with the clansmen who stopped the war horses in front, and after the two collided, the Thorn Tower people fell off their horses one after another, and were trampled into meat by the clansmen who had no time to restrain the war horses, which caused chaos within a certain range.
Ma Yue caught the chaos of the Thorn Tower people trampling on each other, and immediately commanded his subordinate land return army to enter the battlefield. The characteristic of the Returning Army is that it can rampage on the battlefield and act like a tank. Yuan Qi is equipped with the Mingguang armor for the land return army, which is different from the Flying Dragon Army. The armor of the Wyvern Army should take into account the load-bearing capacity and mobility of the war horse, so they are issued with a double layer of armor, inlaid with a layer of cowhide in the iron armor, which plays a role in buffering and dispersing. The Mingguang armor of the Earth Return Army is four layers of heavy armor. It is two layers thicker than the Bright Light Armor of the Wyvern Army, therefore. Defense is even better. If it is not physically strong, it will definitely not be able to bear the weight of this Mingguang armor, let alone wear it to fight.
The Land Return Army is a hoplite built by Yuan Qi, and while sacrificing speed, they have unparalleled defense. In terms of cooperating, the swords and the Xizi hand crossbow, their lethality is not much better than that of the Heavenly Return Army and the Flying Dragon Army. Under the leadership of Ma Yue, the 5,000-land returned army rushed into the battlefield unreasonably. And quickly cut a gap in the Thorn Tower cavalry, and some of the fierce Earth Returning Soldiers actually took heavy steps and rushed towards the running Thorn Tower people's war horses, relying on the four layers of bright light armor on their bodies, completely ignoring the impact of the war horses. After the collision, the Terracha rolled on the ground, then stood up as if nothing had happened, and continued to enter the battlefield, and the Thorn Tower people were tragic, the war horse was hit by the heavy Mingguang armor and broke the blood, jumped to the back of the Thorn Tower cavalry off the horse, and then trampled under their own horses' hooves. The trampled Thorn Tower Man was caught off guard and was immediately trampled through the chest cavity by the war horse, and the colorful field and internal organs were squeezed out, but they could not die for a while, and let out a wail before death, struggling in pain on the ground, and their condition was simply miserable.
Seeing that the two armies of Feilong and Digui temporarily dragged the army of the Thorn Towers, Yuan Qi immediately made a decision and ordered Zhang Chong and Xu Block to lead their subordinates to join the battle, and after the two generals got Yuan Qi's order, they immediately led their troops to kill them. Although the two have different fighting styles, their famous generals are undoubtedly on display. At the same time, Yuan Qi beckoned Zhao Hu and personally led the Tiangui Army to quietly bypass the battlefield and kill the rear of the Thorn Towers. Capture the thief and capture the king first, this is the eternal truth. Now those Thorn Tower leaders are only guarded by more than 10,000 Thorn Tower Cavalry, and it is a good time for lightning to attack.
As the pro-guard army of Yuanqi, the definition of the Tiangui Army is a force that focuses on mobility and lethality. The war horses they are equipped with are the fastest and most durable war horses in the Yuan Qi army. Under the command of Yuan Qi, from Zhao Hu and below, five thousand Heavenly Return Army instigated war horses and rushed towards the rear of the Thorn Tower people like lightning. The war horses of the Tiangui Army are all white horses, the jade unicorn of Yuan Qi and the little white dragon of Zhao Hu are also famous white horses, this team of people and horses in the rapid attack, from a distance, it looks like a churning silver dragon, with endless murderous aura, straight to the locked target.
When someone discovered the movements of Yuan Qi and the others, Yuan Qi was less than a hundred steps away from the leaders of the Thorn Tower. The legs slammed the unicorn's horse's belly again, signaling the unicorn to speed up. After the unicorn is the king of the snowy horses, he is extremely humane, and immediately understood Yuan Qi's intentions, and his four hooves slapped the earth like flying, carrying Yuan Qi to gallop forward like lightning. The distance of a hundred steps is nothing more than a blink of an eye for the Jade Qilin.
Yuan Qi took the lead in front of the battle formation behind the Thorn Tower, and the heavy Mixed Yuan Halberd shook suddenly, and the shot was a killing move! The most suitable night battle in the Mixed Yuan Halberd was unreservedly used by Yuan Qi, and in an instant, countless halberd shadows appeared out of thin air, and more than ten Thorn Tower cavalry had already been cut off by Yuan Qi before they could react!
Those Thorn Tower leaders suddenly understood Yuan Qi's intentions, and shouted in horror: "Stop him! Stop him quickly!" The prestige of the little overlord Yuan Qi has long been mythologized among the Thorn Tower people, and they don't want to use their own bodies to try how heavy the mixed Yuan Halberd in Yuan Qi's hands is.
The Thorn Tower cavalry guarding the vicinity of these leaders, forced by the shouts of their respective leaders, could only stiffen their heads and reluctantly wield their sabers to fight. Yuan Qi let out a long roar, and the mixed yuan halberd in his hand was full of power, and it was drawn towards the war horse that had become an ownerless thing after being killed by himself before. Several war horses were flown up by Yuanqi's mixed yuan halberd wheel, and smashed towards the crowd besieging Yuanqi, bringing a burst of chaos of people turning over on their backs.
With a halberd, he was able to draw a war horse, what kind of tremendous strength did it take to do this? Yuan Qi's ferocious blow immediately deterred the Thorn Tower cavalry who wanted to come forward to besiege him. Taking advantage of this gap, Zhao Hu arrived. He raised his Sunbreaker and slashed at the gathering place of the Thorn Tower leaders from the other direction.
It was clear that the Thorns had made a fatal mistake, they were too focused on Yuan Qi and neglected the people around Yuan Qi. Zhao Hu, Xu Chu and Dian Wei, who followed Yuan Qi to attack together, were all first-class generals in the world, and none of them could match those thorn tower leaders. Perhaps it was Yuan Qi's prestige that caused the leaders of the Thorn Tower to make such a low-level mistake.
While Yuan Qi alone restrained the guards of the leaders of the Thorn Tower, Zhao Hu jumped on his horse and grabbed it, and with the speed of the little white dragon, he went straight into the core battle formation of the Thorn Tower people, and stabbed to death a leader of the Thorn Tower people with his gun in hand. After Zhao Hu, Xu Chu also arrived, observed the battlefield a little, and the honest Xu Chu made a rare trick, and yelled at Dian Wei, who threw off his legs and rushed over: "Lao Hei! The safety of the lord is handed over to you, I will help General Zhao Hu!"
Dian Wei, who was only ten steps behind Xu Chu, heard this, and muttered angrily: "It's nice to say, isn't it to grab the credit, bully me Lao Hei and don't have a war horse, hmph, go back and let the lord find me a good horse ......for me."
