Just as the Song army rushed out of the suspension bridge, the Xixia army's Bu Zi also rushed outside the pass. They did not form a queue, but scattered and rushed towards the pass without any rules. Although the cannons in the pass were powerful,
, but it did not cause much damage to them, because the actual iron cannonballs were only effective against dense formations.
But the artillery paused for a moment, and when it fired again, the impact point of the cannonball suddenly changed. It no longer exploded aimlessly among them, but aimed at the five thousand iron kites behind them.
The iron kite is a unique type of cavalry of the Xixia army. Both men and horses are heavily armored. The sword cannot break and arrows cannot penetrate. In addition, the horse body is connected with iron chains, so when it attacks in a horizontal line, almost no one can stop it.
During the years of war between Song and Xia, it can be said that the Song army suffered enough from this iron kite.
The Xixia Army's tactics at this critical moment of attack are very simple. Bubazi is fast and good at climbing, so as the vanguard, as long as he can open the door in the chaos, Tieyaozi can follow closely and rush into the pass. With the Song Army's
The cavalry will be unable to resist.
There is a vast plain outside Jincheng Pass. Originally, a cavalry with an obvious target like Tie Yao Zi would be an obvious target to turn off the artillery, but the Xixia commander obviously wanted to give it a try. If the Song army aimed its guns at Tie Yao Zi, Bu Ba Zi would be able to take advantage of the chaos and rush in.
Go up the pass, but if the muzzle of the gun attacks Bubazi first, then the iron kite will quickly hit him.
It has to be said that the commander-in-chief of Xixia had very good calculations. One of the two groups of military services would always be able to overcome the barrier. However, they did not expect that the Song army would ignore the Bubazi outside the barrier and instead shelled the iron kites in the distance. This
The Chinese military commander couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The Iron Kites were well-equipped and difficult to organize. The commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army immediately ordered them to stop. However, when he just issued the order, he suddenly discovered another thing - the Buzi who were very close to the suspension bridge could not move forward even half a step.
Because the Song army that rushed out blocked them, at this time, these selected mountain people became isolated and helpless mincemeat.
This team of Song soldiers were all tall and strong young men. They were all wearing black helmets and armor. They held spears with their arms tightly clamped under their ribs. The extremely sharp spear points were pointed straight in front of the horse's head. The queue jumped out of the pass.
As soon as he came out, he rushed over with an unstoppable divine power.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
There were only three thousand people in this Song army, which seemed so insignificant in front of the huge Xixia army, but each of them seemed to have exerted enough energy, roaring loudly, and rushed out without any scruples, walking all over the mountains and plains.
Zi Dajun suddenly melted like a pot of boiling water on the snow.
The cavalry is the natural nemesis of the infantry, not to mention this kind of infantry without armor for the sake of portability. When the horse's hooves fly, the spear does not need any tricks at all. It just needs to be placed in front of the horse.
With the speed of the war horses, they can easily overturn any infantry blocking them.
For a time, there were constant screams outside Jincheng Pass, and patches of Bubazi were torn into pieces and trampled into pulp under the impact of the Song Army's cavalry. In just a moment, the place turned into a bloody plain.
The commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army in the distance saw this clearly and was immediately horrified. He hurriedly ordered Bazi to retreat. Today's battle had completely exceeded his expectations. Originally, he could still rely on the long-range shot of the fireball car to suppress the enemy.
Artillery, but the hundreds of fast riders that suddenly appeared destroyed all his fireball carts in just a moment, which caused a huge deviation in his calculations.
The Bubazi had long lost their will to fight. When they saw the flag fluttering, they immediately turned around and fled in a hurry, wishing they could have two more legs. The commander-in-chief of the Chinese army did not care so much and ordered the Iron Kites to quickly press on.
Go and pick up the Bubazi who are only half left.
The big flag with Korean characters waved in the wind, and the Song Army's cavalry suddenly lined up and did not pursue them. They allowed the Bubazi to run away. Seeing that they would soon join the Iron Kites, the pole
The flag suddenly moved again, and the top of the flagpole pointed sharply in the direction of Xia Jun.
Three thousand war horses neighed in unison, raised their front hooves and ran out again, chasing the fleeing Bubazi.
Xu Zizhen, who was surrounded, saw it from a distance. He was frightened and anxious, and cursed: "Who the hell is this? How dare you charge over with just this few soldiers?"
Although he has never fought against the Iron Kites, the cavalry surrounding him now makes him a little overwhelmed. The Xixia cavalry is well-equipped and aggressive in their attacks, and the five thousand Iron Kites have been carefully selected and have far-reaching equipment.
How can it be easier to deal with than ordinary cavalry?
Three thousand Song troops rushed toward the combination of Tie Yaozi and Bubazi. In Xu Zizhen's opinion, they were no more than moths rushing to a flame, and they would probably be wiped out in just a moment.
At this moment, Xu Zizhen felt a deep powerlessness. He wanted to rush over to stop them, but he was also trapped in a tight siege. He was afraid that he would suffer the same fate as the three thousand troops before long.
As he expected, Tie Yaozi and Bu Bazi quickly converged and immediately formed a new formation, with the cavalry in front and the infantry behind. They reorganized their formation and counterattacked towards the three thousand Song cavalry. The Tie Yaozi
The pace was neither fast nor slow, and they moved forward slowly and in an orderly manner. The Bubazi followed closely behind, holding steel knives in their hands, waiting to inflict a blow when the Song army was knocked off their horses.
But at this moment, a scene that surprised Xu Zizhen occurred. The three thousand Song soldiers put away their spears and replaced them with long bows at the same time. Then they each took out the fire medium from their arms, opened the lid and bit it in their mouths.
Then he pulled out a long arrow from the arrow pot at his waist. A small bamboo tube was tightly tied to the arrowhead, and a thin fuse was pulled out from the side.
"Open the bow! Light the fire! Shoot!"
With a loud shout, everyone pulled the bow string to the full capacity, and at the same time lit the fuse of the bamboo tube on the arrow with the fire media in their mouths. Three thousand people, three thousand arrows, flew out in unison.
Landed in the iron kite array not far away.
The iron kite's armor is specially made, and ordinary feather arrows cannot penetrate it. This time is no exception. However, before the iron kite's sneer could be heard, a series of explosions sounded first.
The bamboo tube contained powerful gunpowder.
boom!
Fires were everywhere and thick smoke was billowing. Explosions that shook the heaven and earth rang out in the Iron Kites queue. The armor of those war horses was almost flawless. The power of this small bamboo tube of gunpowder would not cause too much harm to them.
But beasts are beasts after all. How could they withstand the fright of the explosion? At that moment, most of the war horses were so frightened that they kicked up their hooves, and some even turned around immediately and tried to escape.
Iron Harrier's horses were all connected with iron ropes. After the explosion, the originally neat array suddenly became chaotic. Most of the five thousand horses fled because of fright, but they were soon tripped by the iron ropes. One horse
Then the next one, like a domino, fell over in half in the blink of an eye.
The cavalry on the horse didn't even have time to escape, and they were pinned down by the fallen horses, and some were even crushed to death on the spot. Xu Zizhen could see it clearly, and he was shocked and happy, and blurted out: "Holy shit! Rocket? What the heck?"
Who came up with it?"
The formation of the three thousand Song army changed again and turned into a cone. They no longer cared about the chaotic five thousand iron kites, but rushed towards Xu Zizhen. At the front of the cone was a bearded man.
A sloppy middle-aged man stood on horseback holding a spear and laughed loudly: "Brother, brother, I'm here to save you!"
