Relying on the cover of Xun You's spiritual talent, Wei Yan easily got behind the Ding Ling people, and then directly attacked and killed half of the Ding Ling cavalry who were cooperating with the chariot on the side and behind.
Chariots are considered to be the most powerful weapons on the plains. They have extremely strong impact. In this era, other than chariots of the same level, there is no other type of military force that can match them in terms of their ability to break frontal formations. Even heavy cavalry is far inferior to chariots in terms of innate tonnage.
.
It is said that the two strong oxen pulling the chariot are enough to kill the heavy cavalry. It can be said that in a head-on collision on the plain, a fully assembled chariot is basically invincible.
But this nearly invincible tank still withdrew from the history of war in the end. The reason is very simple. On the one hand, the tank has too high requirements on the terrain. On the other hand, the flexibility of the tank is even far inferior to that of the heavy cavalry.
Since in the late Spring and Autumn Period, outstanding commanders invented the combat method of killing the chariot driver by riding and shooting from the flank, chariots have gradually withdrawn from history.
Later, after another genius played the coordination of chariot and cavalry, the chariot once again entered the battlefield. While possessing the powerful ability to charge and break the formation, it also took into account the suppression of the left and right wings, and solved the problem of being ordered to kill the charioteer.
This possibility.
It is simply a perfect tactic, but this tactic still cannot prevent tanks from being eliminated from the historical trend.
The reason is actually very simple. The more perfect the tactics, the higher the degree of difficulty. For things like chariots, which are rampant, if one of them fails to control the vehicle well, he will kill his own people before he can kill the enemy.
With the destructive power of the chariot, it is basically impossible to survive as long as it is hit and run over. After all, after being run over by two oxen, two horses, and a chariot pulling seven people, you are lucky not to be turned into pulp.
, still want to live.
In addition, the purpose of a chariot is to impact, so the speed is actually very scary when it is racing. No matter how much the chariot is improved, it cannot be changed. Its essence is just two wheels. At such a high speed, it can be hit by anything.
Suddenly, the original direction will change, and then 80% of the cavalry cooperating in the middle will be affected and die...
Therefore, the terrain requirements for vehicle-mounted coordination are even higher, resulting in this almost unsolvable tactic having to be shelved.
It can be said that this is the first time in Zhuge Liang's life that he has seen someone use the coordination of chariots and cavalry. The formation-breaking impact of the chariots, combined with the flexible maneuvers of the cavalry, with their respective advantages fully amplified, the front is almost unstoppable.
Of course, this means that the front cannot be resisted. Even if the coordination of the vehicle and the cavalry greatly makes up for the disadvantages of the chariot's flanks and rear, it can only be said to make up for it.
"Wei Yan, it's up to you, ignore the chariots and kill these cavalry!" Zhuge Liang reined in his horse, slowed down and shouted in the direction of Wei Yan, and Wei Yan roared without looking back, which was considered a reply.
At the same time, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry led by Zhang Liao on the flank also drew an arc and launched an attack on the cooperating cavalry flanking the chariot.
As soon as the two sides fought, Zhang Liao immediately activated his legion talent. All the elite troops under his command abandoned their bows and arrows and charged towards Ding Ling's elite cavalry.
The moment the two sides came into contact, the soldiers on the chariot all raised their bows and arrows and shot at the Bingzhou wolf. Unlike cavalry shooting, the soldiers on the chariot shot more steadily and had a better hit rate, but Zhang Liao had already advanced.
Opened his own legion talent.
Directly carrying the rain of arrows pouring out of the Ding Ling chariot, they killed the Ding Ling Jingqi who were cooperating on the flanks. Under such a fearless attack, the Ding Ling Jingqi was hit hard before he could recover, so much so that
The chariot driver who was standing aside was directly exposed to the eyes of the wolf rider.
"This kind of thing still wants to compete with us and seek death, so I will send you to death!" Zhang Liao sneered and shot an arrow directly to kill the chariot driver. The other wolf riders also followed the same example, and they all worked hard.
Kill the charioteer.
The chariots of more than a dozen chariots that quickly pulled over were killed one by one after Zhang Liao and others broke through the fine cavalry of Ding Ling who was coordinating on the flanks. The cattle in the grassland were not the material to pull the chariots. After they lost
After the charioteers, these chariots quickly deviated from their charge direction.
The chariot that was also rushing at high speed was on the road to destruction when the oxen and horses pulling it deviated from the normal direction.
The moment the chariots that were running wildly deviated from the direction of the charge, they were driven by the huge inertia. The coordinated cavalry between the chariots and the chariots that had not had time to evacuate were gently knocked off their horses by the frame of the chariots, and then they were crushed with blood splashing everywhere.
.
The oxen and horses that deviated from the trajectory were also dragged by the chariot. The struggle between the two sides caused the soldiers who were not standing firm on the chariot to be thrown away directly, and then the huge inertia made the chariot fly away.
If you get out, any life form you bump into during this process will basically die.
"Terrible impact." Chen Gong had already rushed from the rear camp to the front camp, and his face sank when he saw the scene where the chariot rolled over.
"Cheng Lian asked the Chinese army to use crossbows and chariots, which can only charge in a straight line. Isn't attacking a camp with crossbows looking for death?" Chen Gong had unlocked his spiritual talent at this time and looked into the distance as before.
Chariot Charge, who could not be successfully restrained, said coldly.
Speaking of things like crossbows, the hit rate is actually very average, but it can't hold up against a chariot. The target is very large, and unlike cavalry, it can see the crossbow arrows from a distance and dodge left and right. The chariot can only be carried by force.
All positive harm.
Although it has two strong bulls and a solid frame, it can basically knock away all enemies in front of it. Even conventional crossbows and crazy strong bulls cannot be controlled before their physical strength is exhausted, but this definitely does not include
Something like a crossbow.
Back then, the medium-sized Qin crossbow could teach chariots how to behave, so now it is definitely not a problem for medium-sized crossbows to teach Ding Ling people how to behave.
"Cao Xing, Hao Meng, lead the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry around the back of the chariot and let the Wolf Cavalry launch the projectile." Chen Gong said to Cao Xing and Hao Meng.
As for the front camp, Chen Gong and Zhuge Liang had the same view. It was basically hopeless. To be precise, without chariots to resist the enemy chariots' charge, you would not be able to save anything on the path of the enemy's chariots' charge.
.
"No!" The three of them clasped their fists and ran to deal with their own affairs.
"Your name is Yin Luo, right?" Chen Gong said, looking at the panicked young man beside him.
"Reporting to Chang Shi, yes." Yin Luo nodded and said.
"Go to Zhuge Kongming and tell him that I have mobilized my troops." Chen Gong looked forward and said without looking back. He knew that telling the other party this was enough to explain.
Cheng Lian quickly led a group of people and set up a row of medium-sized crossbows on the fence of the Chinese military camp. Needless to say, everyone was ready. With an order, seven-foot-long crossbows were fired.
The remaining special arrows are installed into the crossbow machine.
As the winding began and the crossbow was successfully wound, the soldiers controlling the crossbow immediately began to aim with the sight. After each selected the target, they immediately pulled the trigger of the crossbow. The powerful crossbow fired the arrow at the moment
, there was even a sharp roar.
Most of the arrows missed. Although there was a crosshair, it lacked a stabilizing device and the hit rate was low.
Fortunately, the few crossbow arrows that hit the target produced astonishing results. Some powerful crossbows even pierced Jianniu with one arrow. Such powerful destructive power killed Jianniu almost instantly, and before Jianniu was killed
The moment he shot and fell forward due to inertia, the powerful inertia of the chariot directly hit the spine of the dead healthy cow.
The impact was so powerful that it was even enough to break the bones of cattle, but the tank that was suddenly stopped was enough to throw the soldiers on the frame away without the installation of seat belts and airbags.
"Huh, how confident are you when using a chariot when setting up camp? If it's a cavalry, I wouldn't be able to deal with it. With a target as big as a chariot, you can hit it if you shoot casually." Chen Gong said with a sneer.
"The frame is equipped with a shield to protect against powerful crossbows. It's a good idea, but for a huge target like a tank that can only run rampant, who would be stupid enough to attack with bows and arrows from the front." Chen Gong squinted his eyes and looked into the distance.
Immediately, Cheng Lian was given the order to shoot freely.
Although Zhuge Liang's performance was not perfect, the fact that he just left the battlefield and let go of his hands and feet was enough to see Zhuge Liang's vision.
[What Zhuge Kongming lacks is not brains, but experience. I'm afraid he is already ready to burn down the entire front camp. This method is not bad as a last resort, but if used directly, Zhuge Kongming is not ordinary ruthless. 】
Chen Gong silently looked at the front camp, hoping to see Zhuge Liang. Before, he thought that Zhuge Liang looked gentle and gentle. Now, he has completely cleared that sense. The other party's ruthlessness is definitely not a joke.
With the arrival of the second wave of arrows, more than a dozen of Ding Ling's chariots were scrapped because the cattle and horses driving them were killed. Moreover, the leading chariots suffered large-scale damage, causing the chariots behind them to come out one after another.
Got into several car accidents.
The car accident that occurred between the chariots killed the soldiers on the chariots almost instantly, as well as the elite cavalry who were coordinating between the chariots. This fully shows the horror of the car accident.
At the same time, Wei Yan finally killed the Ding Ling people's rear army, and now the tail of the Ding Ling people's chariot was all exposed in front of Wei Yan.
Although when Wei Yan led the Xiliang cavalry and began to kill the cavalry coordinated by the cavalry, the archers on the Ding Ling chariot kept shooting at the Xiliang cavalry.
My own defense, arrows, etc. are all down.
Anyway, the situation is almost the same, as long as they don't hit fatal wounds, these arrows don't need to pay much attention to the Xiliang cavalry, that is, skin trauma.
Therefore, although the archers on Ding Ling's chariot worked very hard, they had no effect at all against the Xiliang cavalry with repulsion protection.
After all, this protection mode is essentially a force field protection. For melee combat, the attack speed is reduced due to repulsion, but for arrows, it is equivalent to a reduction in the movement speed of the arrow due to repulsion.
The problem is that for arrows, the terminal speed is piercing damage. After being forced to cancel part of the terminal speed, these arrows can only cause some skin injuries to the Xiliang cavalry.
However, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which has endured many battles and has never fallen, is indeed quite scary now.
The Ding Ling Archers, who freed their hands and feet with their chariots, actually had a pretty good hit rate. However, the powerful defense of the Xiliang Cavalry, coupled with the repulsive protection innate to the Xu Huang Legion, greatly reduced the damage of the Ding Ling Archers' arrows.
.
Although he can't achieve the exaggerated non-breaking defense like Li Jue's eggshell defense, he can achieve another more terrifying achievement, that is, he can't be shot to death.
There were more than a dozen arrows hanging on his body, and he felt like he should be a sieve. He was still fighting with a horse-killing sword in one hand and a long knife in the other. This had a huge psychological impact on the Ding Ling people who didn't know the truth.
In fact, many of the reasons for the collapse of the Ding Ling rear army were because the soldiers of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry were hung with many arrows shot by the Ding Ling people. However, after receiving so many arrows, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was still killing people.
This situation of being seemingly indestructible put a lot of pressure on Ding Ling.
"Are you okay?" Wei Yan asked in confusion as he looked at the soldiers who were gathering towards him and had received seven or eight arrows on their bodies.
"They're all just skin injuries. Not even half of the arrow went in." Zhou Sheng smiled and curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Ding Ling's arrow is not strong enough. Just put some medicine on it and it will be fine. It won't be a problem."
Looking at the general who charged very hard before being shot like a sieve, Wei Yan couldn't help but sigh. If it weren't for the look on the faces of these soldiers that they didn't lose too much blood, Wei Yan really wouldn't believe that these arrows were only
Shot through the flesh.
"Let's go, let me kill this group of chariots!" Wei Yan said with a laugh. After hearing this, all the men and horses suddenly accelerated and bit the tail of the chariot. Now that there is no coordinated elite cavalry behind the chariot, they can
Let go and give.
Just when Wei Yan was about to take action, Cao Xing and Hao Meng had already led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry around the Ding Ling people. Without Wei Yan's guidance, the cavalry led by the two men immediately launched against the Ding Ling people who were not fully prepared in the rear.
attack.
"Go!" Cao Xing proudly fired three arrows with a bow. All three arrows passed through the gaps in the chariot frame and directly killed the charioteer. Then the Bingzhou wolf cavalry drew their bows and shot arrows, hitting the oxen and horses pulling the chariot.
The turbulence caused directly caused the tank to roll over.
In addition, Wu Dun, Yin Li and others had already arrived with kerosene at this time. As the chariot crossed a certain line, the tung oil tank was ejected directly.
Then a large number of burning rockets were fired at the chariot from both sides of the chariot. The frame was made of flammable wood such as spruce, fir, and pine. The frame was made of tung oil to ignite the fire.
Under the circumstances, it burned quickly.
At the moment when the chariot frame burned, the burning tung oil splashed on the horses and cattle pulling the chariot ignited the hair on their bodies. They could no longer maintain their previous straight-line charge, and they screamed and went crazy at the same time.
While the mad cows and horses were running wildly, they also dragged the chariots towards destruction. At the moment when the flames ignited, the cows and horses pulling the chariots had completely lost control because of fear and frenzy. Chariots were here one after another.
Waiting for it to be smashed into pieces by the crazy collision.
