Chapter 262: The Tiger Enters the Flock
When the Yuan Qi army was surging on all sides, and they were still a hundred paces away from the Xin barbarians, Ottawa and Manila finally reacted. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info They shouted loudly to their subordinates, trying to exhale them out of the entanglement of canine teeth. However, the reality is not at all what they think. The two Xinman cavalry each panicked and planned to turn the horse's head, but in the collision with each other, they couldn't complete the U-turn that they could easily do at ordinary times, but it became more chaotic, the horse's head touched the horse's head, and the Xinman cavalry on the horse with a panicked look, struggling to beat the sitted war horse, but it could only have the opposite effect, but made the war horses between them collide more powerfully.
Zhuge Liang in the large array keenly observed this, and immediately raised his hand decisively, and gave an order to the sergeant who was controlling the red-clothed ballista on his side: "Target, the center of the Xin Barbarian Chaos Formation." Intensively open fire!" The eight hundred ballistamen, who had already been ready to attack, after hearing Zhuge Liang's order, ripped off the red cloth covering the surface of the red-clothed ballista, and after aiming a little, they pulled the tip of the ballista together.
The sound of the sound was loud, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, sounding on the periphery of the battlefield. Four hundred crossbow bolts of various sizes, with great force, roared towards the Xinman cavalry more than 500 paces away! The effective range of the red-coated ballista was 700 paces, which was within 700 paces. Extremely high accuracy can be maintained. The distance of about 600 steps is the most powerful area of the red-clothed ballista.
The crossbow bolts scattered into the sky, and the standard halberd-shaped crossbow arrows as thick as a child's arm and the powerful crossbows like long swords made the Xin barbarians despair in their hearts. It is infinitely magnified. This advanced weapon that transcends the ages. It strongly shook the hearts of the Xin barbarians. How had they ever seen such a terrifying crossbow? Many of the barbarians were terrified and let out a desperate wail.
After a short flight in the air. The four hundred crossbow arrows began to contact the body of the Xin Barbarian cavalry one after another, first splitting the body of the Xin Barbarian cavalry into two pieces with strong force, and then with the residual piercing force. Keep blasting forward. The sword-like crossbow bolt cleaved the bodies of four or five enemies one after another, and only then did it stop advancing due to the exhaustion of its strength; and the long crossbow with a thick arm, with a more terrifying force, brought greater damage, all the Xin barbarian cavalry touched by the long crossbow, none of them could avoid the fate of being pierced through the chest, a javelin-shaped long crossbow, often after the hole passed through several enemies, the strength weakened, but still maintained high efficiency, until finally after a dozen Xin barbarians passed through the body, it fell to the ground, like a huge nail, nailed the enemy's corpse to the groundγ
The Xin barbarians became even more confused, and the deterrent power brought by the red-clothed ballista greatly damaged their fighting spirit and destroyed their confidence. In the face of such a battlefield killing weapon, personal martial arts are really insignificant. If you haven't personally experienced such a scene comparable to the rain of bullets in later generations, you can't understand the despair of the Xin barbarians at this moment. The shouts of despair, which were even more desperate than just now, erupted in full force in the Xin Barbarian Formation, and no one thought that they could escape under the red-clothed ballista. Under the fear, the Xin barbarians scrambled to dodge, trying to escape from the range of the red-coated ballista, making the already chaotic situation even more chaotic.
After the first round of ballistas fired, Zhuge Liang calculated the time, and before Yuan Qi and the others approached the Xinman cavalry, he could still carry out a round of artillery bombardment. So, Zhuge Liang made a decision and gave the order to fire the cannon again. In an instant, another 400 crossbow bolts of different sizes shot out, delivering a second fatal blow to the chaotic Xin barbarians. The screams and cries for help that were brought about by this broke out again among the Xin barbarians.
The two rounds of shelling, while bringing thousands of battle losses to the Xin barbarians, also destroyed all the fighting spirit of the Xin barbarians, and caused a huge shadow on their psychology, which lingered. The deterrent power of the redcoat ballista to the enemy is far greater than the damage it can cause, which is where the value of the redcoat ballista lies. On the other hand, Zhuge Liang grasped the timing of the artillery bombardment just right, just in the gap where Yuan Qi and others were about to kill, creating a more suitable battlefield atmosphere for Yuan Qi and others in advance.
Zhuge Liang asked the eight hundred ballistae to put away the red-clothed ballista, and then turned his gaze to the center of the battlefield. There, Yuan Qi and the others had already led the army to kill in front of the eyes of the Xin barbarians, and the duel between life and death was about to be in full swing. Yuan Qi was the first to kill in front of the Xin barbarians, he smashed a Xin Barbarian cavalry with a halberd, and then shouted loudly: "Heaven belongs, kill!" Behind him, the Five Thousand Heavens Return Army led by Zhao Hu shouted loudly: "Heaven returns, there is victory and no defeat! Kill ββ!" Immediately, the Five Thousand Heavens Return Army took Yuan Qi as the arrow, and rushed into the chaotic Xin Barbarian cavalry, and had already leaned towards the raised horse chopping knife, with a whistling and slashing down. In order to survive, the Xin barbarian cavalry in the chaos can only hastily raise their swords to block, but the chaotic formation makes them unable to form effective resistance, and they can't even fight separately.
When the five thousand horse chopping knives collided with the sabers of the Xin barbarians, many Xin barbarians were cut in two sections because of lack of preparation, or the gap in strength, and then in helplessness and despair, they watched the swords slash towards the top of their heads, and finally. In a tooth-aching sound of skulls cracking, he was cut off his horse. There are even a small number of Xin barbarians, who were affected by the blocking actions of their clansmen, and they didn't even have time to completely raise the saber, and they were already split in half by the saber.
In this direct duel, the Tiangui Army did not suffer any casualties, but caused thousands of casualties to the enemy, which can be described as a brilliant result. Following the Heavenly Return Army's might. Qi Tian also killed on the battlefield. The Monkey King that terrified the Xin barbarians. With bursts of coldness, with a faint buzzing sound of breaking the wind, the two Xin Barbarian cavalry and horses were split into two pieces in a row. Subsequently. Qi Tian rose up and roared angrily: "The flying dragon belongs, kill!" The 10,000 flying dragon army with blood-red feathers on their heads raised the dragon horn spear in their hands at the same time, responding to Qi Tian's roar: "The wrath of the flying dragon, there is no advance or retreat! Kill ββ!."
Then, 10,000 Rahu dragon horn spears suddenly pierced out in all directions, like a huge hedgehog, and suddenly bloomed its needles, and came to an all-round indiscriminate attack in all directions. The length of the dragon horn spear is a foot long, and coupled with its heavy weight, if you are not a well-trained person, you will not be able to use such a complex and heavy weapon at will. Under the piercing of the 10,000 Flying Dragon Army, the Xin barbarians, who were densely entangled, immediately became a fresh target, their sabers were not as long as dragon horns, even if they wanted to block, they were powerless. Patches of Xin barbarians were stabbed off their horses by sharp dragon horn guns, and most of the wounds were in the heart, and a large amount of blood gushed out, making the fallen Xin barbarians gradually lose their vitality. The fast, accurate, and ruthless attack of the Flying Dragon Army can be seen.
The third enemy army was the 10,000 Thorn Tower cavalry led by Zuo Ci, who came to the battlefield with the speed of war horses before the ground returned to the army. Like the Xin barbarians, the Thorn Tower people are natural cavalrymen, and the quality of their soldiers is among the best, and the biggest factor in winning depends on the on-the-spot performance of the men and horses on both sides. Now the Thorn Tower cavalry is rushing forward, with a huge impact force, while the Xin barbarians are entangled with each other, which greatly affects the flexibility and mobility of the Xin Barbarian cavalry, and the impact power is impossible to talk about. Therefore, as soon as the two sides came into contact, they made a judgment, Zuo Ci took the lead, and led the thorn tower cavalry like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and swept into the Xin Barbarian cavalry formation, bringing up a slip of blood, and the killing Xin Barbarian array, there was a burst of bloody wind and rain, and the sound of screaming and falling off the horse was endless.
Although the Thorn Tower Cavalry is not an elite unit under Yuan Qi's command and does not have their own battle slogan, their lethality should not be underestimated, and on horseback, the Thorn Tower people are natural warriors. They took the long knives that Yuan Qi had issued to them, and frantically slashed at the Xin barbarians in front of them, and their ferocity was also chilling.
The one who rushed to the battlefield a moment less than the Thorn Tower cavalry was naturally the return of the 5,000 land led by Ma Yue. These five thousand elites are all sturdy men carefully selected by Yuan Qi, and their excellent physical fitness makes their speed, strength, endurance and load capacity far beyond ordinary people, coupled with the daily supply of meat in the army, each of them can burst out with huge energy. The equipment weighing up to sixty catties could not affect their flexibility in the slightest, and the bloodthirsty horse chopping knife cut off the legs of the Xin barbarians one after another under their agile slashing. Immediately afterwards, those Xin barbarian cavalry who were thrown to the ground and screamed incessantly became the next target of the Earth Return Army, five thousand horse chopping swords were raised high, and then with strong force, they slashed down, making the Xin barbarians' exclamations stop abruptly. In other words, the Xin barbarians, who were targeted by the Earth Return Army, could no longer make any sound, because their heads and bodies had been divided into two parts by the Earth Return Army's swordsman.
The fierce battle in the center of the battlefield has begun, and Zhuge Liang at the edge of the battlefield calmly gave an order: "The whole army maintains the formation and joins the battle!" After the 50,000 enemy troops received the order, they approached the center of the battlefield with neat steps, and everyone's footsteps were no more than three feet away, as if they had been measured with a ruler in advance. At the same time, they shouted one after another: "Kill, kill, kill!" The sonorous and powerful shouts of the 50,000-strong army at the same time greatly encouraged the sergeants who were fighting in the center of the battlefield. At the same time, it also poses a huge psychological pressure on the Xin barbarians!
