The surprise attack method can only be used once, so the opponent must start to strengthen their vigilance. As for the surprise attack with exhausted soldiers used to deal with Tamuqi, the opponent must also be on guard and cannot use it again. What should I do? Ye Yue thought.
Using cavalry and archery tactics? There are only more than 10,000 cavalry in the city, and the enemy may not have any cavalry. Such an attack will only damage the enemy by 1,000, and damage yourself by 800.
Chariot and crossbow formation! This military formation suddenly flashed through Yeyue's mind, remembering that during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Kongming used this formation to defeat 50,000 cavalry with 10,000 troops and his own army was unscathed.
In fact, a few days ago, Yeyue drew the drawings of the crossbow and asked the craftsmen in the city to rush to build it overnight. Not only that, but also countless iron caltrops, also called horse nails, were made to match the crossbow array.
A veritable cavalry killer, its characteristic is that no matter how you throw the horse nail, it always lands with the tip pointed upward.
There are also boiling oil bottles. Although the effect is not very effective on the plains, it can still disgust them. It is enough to kill a few thousand people. Coupled with the peripheral mounted shooting tactics and the vehicle and crossbow array as suppression, it should be possible to win.
However, if you want to rely on the more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the city to kill the opponent's 200,000 elite soldiers, it will be a bit difficult.
According to Ye Yue's order, there were 100,000 troops in Lingxue City stationed five miles outside the city. By the way, there were also thousands of crossbows and dozens of oil bottles. Ye Yue and Tie Hu naturally followed.
.
Ten days later, under a banner embroidered with silver and gold, a general with red and red feathers reined up his horse and looked at the killings in front of him. Surrounded by a small group of silver-clad knights, they were killing solemnly.
There are plugs hanging on the left and right waists
The quiver is full of ruthless arrows, and there is a three-stone hard bow on its back. At first glance, you can tell that he is definitely an expert in the army who can bend the bow and shoot the big eagle. Although it is in the sun, but next to them, it makes people feel that they are in this autumn.
The air at noon was almost freezing.
The few fish that slipped through the net were able to get close enough by bumping into them, and were killed by the sergeants at the front with clean sweeps, shots, chops, and stabs. They were as precise as a set of machines, never leaving the spot at all.
Under the protection of this group of knights, Andara looked coldly at the fighting on the battlefield ahead.
Yeyue, who was in the distance, saw the situation on the field and said to Tiehu: "What do you think of the enemy general?"
Tiehu stroked the beard on his chin and said in a deep voice: "This enemy general who leads the army may not be inferior to me in some aspects, but in terms of the way of arranging troops, he is not inferior to me, and it is very possible that he is not inferior to me."
He is even better than me. Seeing as the other party is only thirty years old, if it takes a few years, he might be able to truly surpass me. I didn't expect that the Tianfeng Empire has so many famous generals!" Tiehu sighed.
Yeyue and Tiehu looked at each other and knew each other's thoughts, "We must not let this person live, otherwise it will be a disaster to the Holy Empire in the future."
Ye Yue narrowed her eyes. This battle has been going on for five days. We have been using guerrilla delaying tactics. The enemy has lost more than 30,000 people and we have suffered nearly 30,000 casualties. It seems that it is time to take action. This series of
The ultimate move, see if you can bear it!
He shouted: "The Qingqi are dispatched and adopt surrounding shooting tactics."
Andara, who was observing the situation on the battlefield, heard the sound of horse hooves and his pupils shrank, "Is the enemy sending reinforcements?"
On the other side of the tangled battlefield, there was a continuous killing spree. A group of dark men and horses, with shields and guns raised, angrily rushed towards the formation with all their strength, but a light cavalry man came out halfway.
Drawing out a long arc, he always wandered around the outside of the battle formation. He did not get close to the battle, but quickly loaded the crossbow and raised it to fire. Every time it made a buzzing sound, it was like a black rain of locusts.
A wild whirlpool swept through the enemy's formation, and it was so powerful that it swept down a large group of men and horses.
Its unfailing momentum brought down another piece, stirring up smoke and dust all over the sky, like a long yellow dragon, tightly entangled and tightening this infantry team that was several times the size of our own. It must have a prominent meaning.
He was beaten back violently. Every step forward cost a casualty.
Seeing the men and horses coming to help fight and move away, they kept retreating.
Suddenly, something as dense as locusts flew up from the hills and groves on both sides, and fell obliquely into the enemy's formation. It was like a heavy rain hitting the stream, splattering blood like rain, and easily cut open the human body. Its momentum continued unabated and penetrated several people.
The person was stuck on the ground, but it was a very long arrow like a small gun.
Suddenly there was an exclamation, "What is this?"
When Andara saw the power of the crossbow, he took a breath of cold air and shouted: "Herald!"
Tiehu didn't expect the crossbow to be so powerful, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Mr. Yeyue is really a genius, and he has created such a powerful thing."
Yeyue took a deep breath and said: "This chariot-crossbow array is not perfect. The chariot-crossbow array has two main advantages: powerful concentrated crossbow strikes; and a solid defense system. However, with crossbows as the main force, there are several problems.
First: Arrows consume a lot of money and require adequate preparation. Second: Mobile warfare is not convenient at all and can only be used for ambushes or city defense****"
Tiehu smiled and said: "Even so, this crossbow array is of inestimable value."
As he spoke, he saw that most of the Feng Empire's cavalry dismounted that day, abandoned horse fighting, and used their horses to form a solid battle formation, intending to return to the customary foot fighting, resist tenaciously, and move closer to the reinforcements.
However, they found that the cavalry troops who were charging and fighting fiercely began to break away from the battle. Although they didn't know why, they were lucky enough to have a chance to take a breather.
Another small group of cavalry galloped out. Kankan rushed to the front of the enemy's formation. Facing the swords and swords so close to him, he suddenly reined up his horse and threw a round, black thing with black smoke.
.
Bottles of boiling oil were smashed into the dense infantry formation, and when they splashed and burned, a large area was burned. No matter how strong the will to fight, it could not withstand the ruthless fire and water burning on the body. It was difficult to dodge the rolling contamination of the companions, and it was even more difficult for those who were fighting.
The war horses couldn't see the fire, and they all rushed and trampled those in the formation that were not burned, and the bandit army was so startled that they scattered and fled.
The enemy general who led the army took the lead in cutting down the people who were on fire, and tried his best to stabilize the crumbling formation, but it was already too late. Once the defensive formation was opened, it was like a broken sieve leaking air, with holes everywhere.
The attacking cavalry were divided into multiple pieces. Each time they turned and sprinted, they rolled past like a furious tide, repeatedly tearing apart the enemy formation that they had tried so hard to gather together, leaving behind a trail of sword marks.
The piles of human corpses and dead horses.
But he was shocked and speechless.
After a long time, someone else sighed and said, "It is indeed a sharp weapon to break the formation, but it's a pity that the number is a little small."
Sure enough, as he said, the army did not carry much, because time was tight and they did not prepare much. They only threw two waves and they were all used up.
"It's a pity that this thing is not easy to carry. It must have a special transport container and a place to camp, and it must be dug and buried for storage. Otherwise, if we work harder, we can achieve a more perfect total annihilation ***"
However, this crucial blow is also extremely effective******
Under the repeated blows of the flaming arrows, they finally couldn't bear it and collapsed completely. Except for the small team who stubbornly resisted and were shot like hedgehogs, most of them scattered and fled. Only the sound of long and short conch horns was heard. The cavalry of the Tianfeng Empire,
They also quickly disintegrated and divided into small formations of dozens of people. They fell into the mercury and fell into the ground, drowning in the crowd of defeated people who chased and chased them away. Only piles of corpses and groups of kneeling surrender troops were left behind.
The infantry that was responding to the reinforcements finally gave up and changed formations, leaving behind the men and horses who were cut off from the rear. They fought in every direction. However, this man and horse ran a long distance for reinforcements, fought for a long time, and were tired. They were dragged away by such a disturbance.
