Chapter 419
In the bamboo garden of Chu State, Chu Nuying looked at the dilapidated ballista in front of her curiously, and asked casually, "Auntie."
, the people of the alliance relied on these 20,000 people who defeated the eldest brother?"
Zhang Ying said with a smile: "Yes, but Xu Hong is also smart, and first designed to get rid of their helmet."
A, otherwise it wouldn't have gone so well. Your Majesty, look here, a few small changes have been made, crossbow arrows on crossbows
The speed is several times higher. ”
Emperor Chu was also very interested in medium-sized ballistas, and knew that the spies had found the broken ballista for the first time
came to the bamboo garden, and happened to meet the daughter who entered the palace, so they also stayed together.
Emperor Chu thoughtfully circled around the ballista a few times, and suddenly asked, "Shadow, we have this kind of ballista."
Have you ever tried attacking leather and iron armor?"
Zhang Ying smiled slightly, knowing that the emperor and himself thought together, and said, "Ordinary warriors wear iron
A, there will be a bruise, but it will not be fatal in one hit. When wearing leather armor, crossbow arrows can directly pierce and injure people
Body. ”
Emperor Chu sighed and said, "It seems that the grassland people are useless. ”
Chu Nuying listened inexplicably and asked, "Daddy, is there anything important?" Seeing that her father was trapped again
After pondering, he turned his head and asked Zhang Ying: "Auntie, tell me about it." ”
Zhang Ying said: "More than ninety percent of the grassland people wear leather armor, and they can't afford to use it and don't have so much
Iron comes to forge iron armor, so the threat of the steppe people to the alliance is minimized. ”
Chu Nuying suddenly realized, and turned worried: "Although this crossbow is useless against iron armor, but the alliance is
If we can transfer troops from the north, we will have even more pressure to go abroad. ”
Zhang Ying sighed: "Don't worry too much, the concept of the alliance is different from ours, and the pressure is great."
, those wealthy families will also contribute appropriately. It doesn't do them any good to call. ”
Zhang Ying turned to say: "But I heard that the transformation of this ballista was also proposed by Xu Hong first. that
The kid can make a show no matter where he is. ”
Chu Nuying was stunned when she heard this, her heart became confused, and a smiling figure rose in her mind.
"Father, do we really want to give up the grassland people?" the eldest prince Chu Gaofeng hurriedly came to the palace.
"It's not about giving up completely, even the garbage is useful, reducing the supply of resources to a quarter.
There is also a telling your subordinates to be more restrained, don't always quarrel and start a war on the front line, one by one has no ability, move together
When it's real, hum ......"
Chu Gaofeng lowered his head with a face full of shame, and said weakly: "The child has disappointed his father." ”
An attendant came in to report, and the second prince Chu Gaoxiong asked to see him.
After Chu Kaohsiung came in, he first saluted the Chu Emperor and Chu Gaofeng in a proper manner.
After the ceremony, he directly asked Emperor Chu if the order he gave was to cut off contact with the grassland people
System.
Emperor Chu squinted his eyes and asked casually, "What do you think?" ”
Chu Gaoxiong obviously thought about it before he came, and immediately replied: "I don't know how my father decides."
The steppe people will fail, but I still think that the relationship with the steppe people should not be completely severed. ”
A smile appeared on Emperor Chu's face. A gloomy look flashed in Chu Gaofeng's eyes on the side
He quickly lowered his head. Unexpectedly, although Emperor Chu did not look at him all the time, the afterglow in the corner of his eyes remained there
on his body.
Seeing this, he sighed in his heart, the boss's heart was still not enough. Originally, Emperor Chu intended to pass the throne to Chu Gaofeng
, even if he lost the war, he didn't change his mind, after all, there were many wealthy families standing behind him.
But now it's swinging again. True or false emperors, the most important thing is to employ people, it doesn't matter if Chu Gaofeng is usually arrogant,
But being unbroad-minded is fatal.
The Chu clan is the number one family in the empire, but standing on the peak, the height is unbearable. Countless people below
They all stare at them, ready to come up and take a bite. If you want to balance the many families, patience is essential
, how long can a person with a small heart endure. He deliberately "showed" a smile and wanted to test him, but it turned out
Disappointed him.
However, Emperor Chu's face did not change, but instead called both of them to his side and found one from the bookcase
Seal the report for the two to watch.
After the two of them watched it, Chu Gaoxiong took the lead and said: "The father is far-sighted, and the child is not as far away." ”
Chu Gaofeng was stunned for a moment, and only then did he come to his senses.
Seeing that the other party was pressing step by step, Helong was upset and didn't know how to deal with it.
Tashan's eyes rolled, and he leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Sect Master, the alliance is in full swing right now
God, I'm afraid it won't decline for decades, and we shouldn't think too much about it. Weekdays and our goodwill and tribe
Teach the many to be arranged first to the back of the battle. And let those who shout every day suffer a little. ”
He Long turned his head to look at Tashan, and Tashan's eyes were firm, obviously thoughtful.
Tashan didn't rush either, leaving him to make a decision.
The Nemo Sect lacks military talents, which Tashan has long said to the sect leader, but Helong has never thought of it
Meaning. The sect leader has a great desire for power and refuses to let go. Now it's a critical time, and there is not even an idea.
He Long gritted his teeth and made up his mind to do what Tashan suggested.
Two groups of steppe cavalry separated from the large camp, one on the left and one on the right, apparently wanting to attack separately, and
They were far more numerous than the cavalry last time. A piece of black pressing.
Zao Wou-Ki looked nervous, and this time he was also taking a certain risk in sending troops, although he would not be able to identify him
Status has a great impact, but the martial saint pays the most attention to face, and after talking to Xu Hong, he has confidence in the ballista
Extremely strong.
Turning his head and saying a few words to the commander of the banner, the commander on the chariot waved the flag of different colors in his hand
, began to direct the movement of troops.
The sound of trumpets and war drums sounded continuously. A new round of battles is about to begin.
"Whoosh".
Countless crossbow arrows and locusts flew towards the galloping cavalry, blood bloomed, and on the battlefield, shouts
, the sound of horses, the handover of weapons, mixed together, played a song of death.
He Long personally beat the war drums, and the "bang" drum sound reached the ears of the grassland people with a passionate rhythm.
"Kill all the people of the Central Plains and rob them of their treasures. The steppe man roared and rushed to the gunfield, primal desire
Hope dominates the minds of the steppe people, who are oblivious to the flesh flying in front of them, and have only one thought in their minds
As long as you kill all the Alliance soldiers in front of you, countless riches and beauties will beckon to them in front.
The soldiers of the alliance were calm, and they were doing mechanical movements in an orderly manner, and the soldiers in the gun array were open
Begin to form a gun array. The array of spears curled up in a ball like a hedgehog with spikes, curled up and hid its soft belly
Under the sharpness.
After the continuous ballista "shot" the cavalry finally rushed in front of them.
"Boom".
The cavalry crashed into the gun array, and countless steppe people fell under their horses screaming, wailing in pain, behind them
But their companions mercilessly followed the gap they had knocked out, and the horse's hooves fell, splashing with blood.
However, their efforts worked, and the gun formation was rushed out of two gaps. Dozens of cavalrymen rushed into the guns
They raised their scimitars in their hands, and then slashed at the Alliance soldiers in front of them.
The spearmen at the gap desperately moved forward, hoping to plug the gap, regardless of the fact that they had entered the formation behind them
The steppe people of the land. The spearmen in the second row stepped on in unison, stabbing with their guns, and the formation was also killed. Killed in the gun
In the end, the cavalry is still a minority, and it loses the most important speed of the cavalry, and after a fight, it calms down,
The spearmen in the formation fell under the crowd.
Zao Wou-Ki breathed a sigh of relief, but in the end he still blocked the enemy's attack. The war drums of the alliance sounded, and the phalanx
Slowly move forward again.
Tashan walked quickly, leaned into Helong's ear, and whispered, "Sect Master, our people are all arranged."
In the back, it's ready to go. ”
He Long nodded slowly, and ordered the steppe people in front of the formation to attack again.
Watching the cavalry waves crash into the alliance's gun array, splashing countless waves, but the gun array is still there
Like a reef, let the waves wash it, it is immovable.
He Long, who was gloomy in his heart, was no longer unwilling, so he could only give up and tell everyone to prepare to leave.
Someone couldn't help but come out and ask, "We don't care about the people who are still fighting on the battlefield?"
He Long stared at him coldly, didn't answer, turned around and went down from the high platform. Leave each other speechless
A tribal leader.
"This is also too ......" Someone couldn't help but want to complain, but was pulled by someone and followed his gaze
The light is looking around.
Everyone looked at each other, lowered their heads again, and left silently. A feeling of sadness for the dead rabbit and the fox in everyone
back and forth.
Sotu wielded a thickened scimitar and slashed at a spearman's body. Scimitar from the gap in the armor
The tip of the knife "plunged" into the opponent's neck, and blood spurted from the head and neck. Blood spurted on his body, even more
Stimulate Sotu's ferocity. Reaching out and pushing the corpse of the spearman, he turned to look for his next opponent.
Suotu was originally still in prison, but after countless pleas from his family, he finally obtained the permission to make meritorious contributions
Allow.
Suddenly, Sotu stood in a daze, and through the gap between the swords and guns, he saw a group of cavalry from afar
The battalion rushed out, and then galloped away in the opposite direction of the position.
His heart was in chaos, and the sect leader actually abandoned him. The teachings of Nemoism are not each
Are they all brothers and sisters? Never give up, never abandon is not a slogan in the church? Is it just casual talk?
Target?
A pain came from under his ribs, and the Alliance's forces attacked him as he was stunned.
"Ao", a sad and indignant roar came from Sotu's mouth.
His eyes were red, and with the broken body of the spear on his body, he suddenly pounced on the Alliance people in front of him.
"Flutter".
The spearman on the opposite side was a little strange, why didn't he dodge at all, and pounced directly on the tip of his gun
, but he didn't think much about it, forcefully pulled the gun out of the steppe man's body, and stepped past the steppe man without hesitation
body, to support his companions.
Sotu twitched, his eyes staring blankly at the sky.
The clouds in the sky seemed to change into the mischievous smiling face of his daughter, and shouted to him, "Hug." ”
Sotu reluctantly raised his hands, trying to reach for the sky. There was a twitch, and his hands fell weakly
On both sides of the body, the round eyes seemed to be regretting that they couldn't ......
Several horns of varying lengths sounded, and the four gates of Xiling Fortress were wide open, wearing black "colored" leather armor
The cavalry of the alliance had been waiting for a long time, and when they heard the sound of the trumpet, they rushed out of the city gate in a hurry.
Ordinary horses can't bear the weight of the iron armor of the whole body, and only the giant mutation after being transformed by Xu Hong
War horses can be so perverted, not only the knights wear iron armor all over their bodies, but even the body of the horse is covered with iron horse armor.
Ordinary Union cavalry was also only wearing leather armor.
It is different from the state of Chu. The number of horses in Chu is extremely scarce now, and just relying on the horses smuggled every year,
can't form a decent cavalry, and when the alliance fights with the cavalry of the Chu State, it always gives priority to intercepting and killing war horses, and even can
In order to exchange the elite for one, the number of cavalry in Chu has never increased. Even after forming an alliance with the steppe people, due to the alliance
The alliance barrier, the scale of the horse trade is still very small.
The alliance still has its own horse farm in the territory, and a lot of war horses are produced every year, so the grassland people come to grab it
He didn't dare to stay for a long time. The cavalry of the alliance was still relatively elite, but they did not dare to enter the grass in a big way
Original. You must know that everyone in the steppe people has horses, and everyone is a knight, and that little bit of cavalry is like a stone thrown into the river
In the water, there is no trace in the blink of an eye.
A group of horsemen ran towards the ballista formation, and to their surprise, each of them had an empty horse in their hands
The war horse. You must know that although there are many horses in the alliance, they are not as good as everyone has a horse to travel
of luxury.
In front of the ballista formation, the cavalry slowly stopped, and the two rode in a group of four, lined up in a row.
The two crossbowmen quickly pushed out a ballista, hung it behind the horses, and then took out four bags from the formation
Loaded crossbow arrows, six per bag, are a standard configuration.
After the first group was completed, he immediately left his seat, and the second group behind him was also close to completion. Seems
Running water, five hundred horse-drawn ballistas were soon assembled. With the order of the director, towards the steppe people
Chase in the direction you left.
"Lord Martial Saint, more than four hundred ballistas have been damaged, and five ballista battalions can still be formed. Now it's all right
The ministry set off. ”
Zhao Wuji bowed slightly: "Order, all the cavalry assemble and catch up with the ballista array in front." ”
Although Zao Wou-Ki was smiling, he still regretted in his heart that the grassland people were all cavalry, and they didn't come and go
It is still difficult to achieve large-scale annihilation. The form in front of him is not bad, and the outside of Xiling Fortress is at least annihilated
More than 5,000 steppe cavalry is also a big victory.
However, the biggest gain this time is the large-scale application of medium-sized ballistas, at least in the field later
The soldiers were no longer afraid of the cavalry of the steppe.
When he didn't think much about this, Zao Wou-Ki took the reins of the horse, waved his hand, the whip fell, and the horses under him rushed out with a "whirl".
The people behind him responded loudly, one by one in good spirits, they were very sober-minded, and they were chasing
Is it safer to fight and get more abundant battles? .
The dark clouds in the sky cracked a crack, and the sun poured into the prairie.
Xu Hong was dressed in golden armor and bathed in the sun.
The black cavalry behind him looked at the heroic figure in front of him with reverence, and the sun shone on him
's body, "shooting" a little bit of golden light. (To be continued.) )
