"By the way, I want to ask you one more thing. Does that little girl have an in-law? I've heard for a long time that all of you girls are tall and graceful. When we met yesterday, it turns out that it's better to meet her than to be famous!" Xiao Chen
I can't forget the beautiful girl Uluo Lan.
"Farewell!" the messenger was furious.
"Don't ask, don't ask, you look anxious again!" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Then you just refused to surrender, right?" The envoy saw that Xiao Chen didn't know how to praise him, and uttered arrogant words, and was ready to leave.
"Don't you want to vote for now?" Xiao Chen said, "Just wait and see, if it really doesn't work, then we'll talk about it."
"Haha, you are dead, you are all dead!" The messenger sneered, turned around and left. Everyone seemed to be frightened by his power, and they all silently took the initiative to get out of his way.
"Let's go? Let's go slowly. Come over and play when you have time. Sigh... You said that we are all good neighbors and should be good brothers. Why do we have to fight back and forth? By the way, give you my regards.
That eighth generation ancestor of General Dabokun!" Xiao Chen waved at his back.
When Dabokun heard that Xiao Chen refused to surrender and even greeted his eight generations of ancestors, he was furious and immediately ordered an attack!
The cavalry attack mode is simple and crude. It is to hit the horse slowly first. When the horse starts running, it is like an arrow leaving the string, moving forward unstoppably and invincible!
Here he made the first mistake of underestimating the enemy, that is, he did not first send troops to remove the obstacles that blocked the horse.
He thought that these horse-rejecting horses were the same as those he had encountered before, the kind that were buried shallowly in the soil and scattered as soon as they were struck. However, he did not expect that Gongsun Ban and the others were very meticulous in their work, driving each horse-rejecting stake deeply.
Three feet deep into the soil!
Moreover, there are several strong iron chains buried underneath. As long as the horse is touched, the iron chains will immediately stretch out of the ground. This is a tripping rope.
So what looks like a simple horse-rejecting stake is actually a series of small mechanisms.
There is actually no problem with this. It just temporarily blocks the attack speed of the Xianbo cavalry. But the problem is that the distance between the horse-rejecting posts is within the optimal range of those ballistas...
So when the torrent of impact was blocked and people were thrown off their backs, the crossbow arrows, which were one meter and a half long on the crossbow, were as thick as fingers, and carried iron arrows with curved hooks, and began to launch terrifying long-range shots.
The sound of whining and breaking the wind was earth-shattering, and countless crossbow arrows flew in quickly like snakes with their tails swaying, piercing the Xianbo cavalry without heavy armor, both men and horses!
The crossbow arrows fired by this kind of machine spring are very powerful within the effective range. Not to mention that the Xianbo cavalry only wears thin leather armor, even heavy iron armor can still penetrate it!
The most unscrupulous thing is that the crossbows are in a semicircular formation, and there is no blind spot in the fan attack. It is useless for the Xianbo cavalry to disperse. They are all within the range of the crossbows, and there is no way to hide.
Even though the crossbow arrows are extremely powerful, their vitality is also extremely sustainable, and they can be fired continuously without any pause!
In this round of long-range attacks, more than a thousand Japanese cavalry were shot to death, hundreds were injured, and more than half of them were damaged, and they had not even seen each other face to face...
After finally breaking out of the horse-rejecting formation, the first arrow box of the crossbow vehicle was all empty. Just as they were changing gear, the brave Xianbo cavalry had already rushed to a few hundred steps in front of the formation, and had just entered the musket line.
range.
Just listen to the continuous crackling sound in the woods, black smoke rises into the sky, and countless projectiles shoot out, immediately punching bloody holes in the bodies of the charging Xianbo cavalry!
However, nearly a thousand Xianbo cavalry rushed to the front of the crossbow chariot formation. Zhuge Xiaosheng gave an order, and hundreds of strong men behind the chariot also shouted a slogan, put their feet on the ground, and pressed hard with their shoulders.
Lived the car body.
The car itself was extremely heavy, and wooden stakes had been driven underneath to secure it in advance. In addition, these strong men fought desperately to hold on, and the momentum of the Xianbo cavalry was immediately blocked.
The people in the front row rushed so fast that all the people and horses were nailed alive to the sharp iron spikes in front of the car!
Behind the cart, a thousand pikemen held spears more than two meters long, and thrust out from the gaps in the cart one after another. They didn't need any accuracy at all, they just messed around to ensure that the spears hit the flesh!
The disadvantage of the cavalry is also revealed. Once the charge is blocked and the speed advantage is lost, it will be unable to reorganize the attack in a short time and become crowded in front of the formation.
Zhuge Xiaosheng waved the command flag in his hand, and a thousand vine-armored swordsmen and a thousand hook-and-scythe spearmen rushed out in unison with shouts. They didn't kill anyone, they just lowered their heads and chopped off the horse's legs and hooked the horse's feet...
"Retreat, retreat!" Dabokun finally realized that something was wrong and quickly ordered a retreat, but it was too late.
A thousand heavily armored cavalry who had been watching the battle for a long time, led by Wei Yuntian, rushed out from the flanks and charged into the enemy group, killing hundreds of people in an instant like chopping melons and vegetables.
The light cavalry basically had no chance of winning against these heavily armored cavalry, which were armed to the teeth, not to mention that these were the most elite Black Dragon Guard cavalry in the Great Zhou Dynasty!
Basically, they collapsed at the first touch. The remaining few hundred fresh cavalry turned around and ran away, but another group of light cavalry rushed out from the diagonal thrust. They chased and fired arrows.
The thicker laminated leather armor of the Xianbo cavalry mainly protected the chest. The protection on the back was very frivolous. It was only a thin layer and could not withstand the bows and arrows at close range. Most of them were killed and injured in an instant. In the end, only a few dozen cavalry were barely able to protect themselves.
Escape...
Originally they wanted to fight a blocking battle, but unexpectedly it turned into a battle of annihilation. This was really beyond the expectations of the generals on both sides.
I really didn't think of it before.
The main reason for the victory in this battle was that Dabo Kun greatly underestimated the combat power of Xiao Chenfang, while Xiao Chen and the others greatly overestimated the combat power of the Xianbo cavalry.
If one side underestimates the enemy and the other side tries its best, the result can be imagined.
But the Xianbo cavalry were really brave. In this situation of being completely passive and being beaten, they still caused a lot of casualties to Xiao Chen.
A rough inspection showed that more than 500 brothers were injured and more than 100 were injured.
But no matter what, this battle was a complete victory.
The most outstanding performance in actual combat is not the extremely lethal ballista, nor the less lethal musket, but the brothers' fighting spirit that is not afraid of death!
When the battle came, they all risked their lives, and no one backed down!
This is called combat effectiveness.
It's a pity that their strength is still too weak. Otherwise, if they take advantage of the situation and attack the Xianbo camp, they will definitely achieve more significant results.
Now, we can only continue to take a defensive stance. Although the enemy has suffered serious losses, the main force is still there, and after suffering this heavy loss, they will definitely not underestimate the enemy in the next attack.
The future outcome is still unknown.
So despite the great victory, Zhuge Xiaosheng didn't have a smile on his face. He knew that a more cruel battle was still to come.
Now he is thinking about the other person's feelings. Is it painful to hit them this time?
