In fact, the stone cows who retreated at this temporary stronghold could see a slowly advancing fortress from the left flank of the battlefield, and then discovered that these were a mobile formation composed of many specially modified vehicles; Under the cover of the erected car boards and shelves, there are gleaming knives and guns and arrows flying like locusts.
Where they were advancing, the hordes of barbarians who attacked in droves disappeared like torrents rushing on the rocks, being knocked over, knocked over, pushed away, squeezed away, and crushed. It's gone.
Occasionally, they will stop, or even retreat briefly; that is when they encounter obvious ground obstacles and regroup and shrink their formation, after receiving the wounded and corpses, and clearing the obstacles again, they will More kills and a stronger offensive broke out again.
And on the right wing at the other end of the battlefield that he could not see, Liu Liumao’s cavalry led by the front battalion had begun to block the periphery of the battlefield, and cooperated with the frontal team to attract and entangle the barbarians, trying to attack from the side and the rear in turns. Those large and small savage arrays, and disperse them from the rush, and then chase and annihilate them; it is a pity that the number of people who share the horse team in the rebels is still less, otherwise it may be able to break through a few more arrays and let the entire right wing The barbarians were shaken.
And most of the crossbowmen and long-range weapons were concentrated on the main front where Zhou Huaian was on the front, ensuring that they could weaken and kill as much as possible before and after the enemy.
I saw the curve of the smoke trail that was thrown from time to time in the arrow rain, and bombarded the poisonous smoke balls and arson cans among the most densely populated people of the barbarians, splashing, burning, and scorching. Amid the cry, the temporary vacancies that were too late to be filled were quickly cleared out.
And the soldier Wang Qiu, who squatted behind the blocking rack and the portable refusal horse, also tried to swallow his saliva to relieve his itchy and dry coughing throat due to tension; holding the flat-end crossbow with both hands on his chest is just that. His greatest reliance and basis are; although he really wants to press the launching handle forcefully against those brutal soldiers who are constantly falling and approaching in a chaotic manner; but the sticks that remain in the body and are trained by daily exercises And yelling, but the instinct he created is preventing him from doing so.
"Not yet time,"
"It's all stabilized..."
"Bring it closer..."
He tried to calm his breath, and in his ears were the voices emphasized by the old men over and over again, and the unlucky ghosts that couldn't control his own deduction, the groans of being scolded and beaten; there were twelve in the full quiver. There is no tail short arrow, but because the crossbow itself is short and light, only within ten to twenty steps is its most effective killing distance; after that, there is no accuracy and strength at all.
During this tormented waiting period, he once again remembered his past.
He was originally a resident of Guangfu Chengxiafang, and his former occupation was a freeman who helped and errands; that is, the lowest member of those large numbers of public servants who had neither salary nor clothing, so he could only rely on Follow the bad people who are in the book, as a pomp and background, and then take a bit of cheap from the hands of the small merchants and hawkers;
Because he can’t have the thick face and black face like a companion, he can do whatever he can to achieve his goal; often he softens his heart when he asks the old, weak, women and children, and sometimes secretly releases others; therefore, in daily life, He is barely mixed with a half-starved dog, who often scolds people with blood, and becomes a laughingstock among his companions. Fortunately, he was fairly open-minded and didn't pay much attention to it, and he was not afraid of hard work and effort to do some dirty work, so that he could keep his identity as a white servant.
Therefore, if you can steal a chicken or beat a dog on weekdays, that is a good day for the meat and tooth sacrifice. He was born with a five-short chubby body that can grow flesh even when drinking water, so he was nicknamed "Fat Qiu"; and because he was a child, he blushed easily when he saw a woman and didn't know what to do; So when I was over 20, I still couldn't get married, and I didn't even dare to touch the hand of the laughing girl in the prostitution.
But he also suffered from a problem. When he saw a beautiful woman, he couldn't help but follow up, and went to the other person's house to get a few more glances; sometimes if no one found it, he would lie on the wall. Continued to spy and watch for a while, until the darkness was completely invisible, and then reluctantly turned his head; but because of this problem, he caused a catastrophe.
During a trailing process, he inadvertently found a virgin fairy jumping into a nest, but after reporting it up, he fell silent and had no further information; then he was designed to catch him and offended someone with unruly intentions. The officials were sent to the prison in Guangzhou for the reason of keeping the outside room. Just as he was begging to have no way and all his thoughts would be utterly devastated. He could only wait to die in the prison, suddenly all the jailers ran away, and then he was also released. Came out.
It was discovered that the entire Guangzhou Mansion had completely changed. The bad guys and handsome men who were rampant in the market, as well as the shabby rogue and bad boys who had worked as a betrayal, had long since disappeared; instead, there were teams of wanted posts. A rebel patrol called the "grass thief" here. Then he was also unemployed and he was unaccompanied and had nowhere to invest. He repeatedly sought a few jobs and failed to do it. In the end, he could only say that these grass-thieves who claimed to be the "Rebels" started working in the porridge market.
Then he was recruited into the labor force of the rebels, and was assigned directly because he could not farm. He digs sand, moves stones, builds soil, burns bricks, cut trees and builds roads. He has done almost everything, and because everything is clean. He suffered all kinds of hardships, but he managed to persevere; in the end, because of the massive expansion of the rebel army, and because of the "hardship background" qualifications in the past, he became a new soldier in the army.
Then, in the selection of the new pawn, because of his short stature and relatively flexible hands, he became a glorious knife player; there is no need to deal with smelly animals or mud stones. As a major feature of this Sanjiang Army, it is equipped with a large proportion of bows and crossbows; in addition to the iron-armed bows and strong crossbows of the specialized shooting team, both spearmen and sword players are required to be proficient A relatively simple crossbow.
For example, the crossbow machine in Wang Qiu's hand, when in order to grasp this thing, repeatedly shoots at the cruising target every day and vomits, all the blood blisters are worn out from his hands and they become thick calluses. At this time, the long-awaited whistle suddenly resounded across the sky.
He couldn't help but a clever desperately pressing down on the grip, blasting all the arrows out in a burst; then dropped the empty quiver between his breath, took a full crossbow machine in his hand, and pressed it down forcefully. The grip fires again, fires again, and fires again; there is no need to deliberately aim or align, as long as the conditioned reflex takes over and shoots out as fast as possible.
In the intensive sound of screaming and shooting, these savages, mostly covered in animal skins and coarse cloth, wailed and screamed and twisted their bodies to dodge, or brandished weapons to try to block them, but they couldn’t stop them. Like rice crops that had been cut head-on, they went forward and then fell down and were trampled on; when Wang Qiu almost threw down a damaged crossbow machine, the black barbarian army in his field of vision, also It has become sparse.
The remaining fish that slipped through the net rushed in front of Wang Qiu along with their inertia, and then the spear and axe they threw were blocked by the hand of blocking and refusing the horse, and they were again densely protruding with spears and spears. Chopped the knives, stabbed them one after another, and fell to the ground without any backhand ability.
At this time, Wang Qiu was able to breathe a little, and began to reconsider his surroundings. The array he was in had become uneven due to the brutal confrontation, and he did not know when a bamboo arrow was inserted into his boots. , And a pool of blood oozes under the soles of the feet without even noticing it;
As far as he could see, whether it was the left or right wing, the barbarians who had engaged in the battle were being defeated and retreating. Only on the frontal battlefield where the Chinese army is located, the numerous local barbarians are still trying to regroup their offensive; just as the horses and carts are gradually pushing on the two wings, they can't help showing a panic and fearful decline. .
Then, Wang Qiu suddenly shuddered, feeling that every muscle in his body was telling himself to escape quickly, or he would die without a place to bury him; then the barbarians who gathered in front of him also panicked and spontaneously collapsed. Came away, and raced to both sides to flee; and those who had no time to escape were knocked down, overturned, trampled underfoot or picked up again by the vaguely roaring and neighing behemoth, just like It was blood-sparkling rags and straw, which fell aside.
Elephant soldiers, even the famous elephant soldiers in the Southern Barbarian Army, although they look rather crude, they only have a basket with a driver and an archer on their backs, and then a large arrow-proof rattan card is covered on the elephant's head and put on the tip of the nose. A wooden ball, but just where the huge figure stands, it is full of some terrible deterrent.
Although there are only a dozen in number, but the loud calls one after another have caused the left-wing horse teams that are interspersed and advancing to stop uncontrollably, and have to work hard to appease them on the battlefield. Come with your own mount. In the advancing car formation, deformation and stagnation also occurred, but the livestock inside were frightened.
And those brutal soldiers who had been distracted and panicked, they seemed to have received some kind of infection, and the morale boosted up, and shouting some incomprehensible slogans and names, they gathered in the vicinity of the elephant soldiers. Screaming, culled again towards the rebel array.
And Luo Fengyi, who was supervising the battle on a tall car draped in silk and satin, couldn't help letting go of his tight face, showing a certain kind of contented and reserved smile; these guys really thought he had left the familiar mountainous area and came Tossing and drowning on this plain, there is no backhand and preparation at all.
These crossbowmen and cavalry of the Han family are brave and courageous, but in this land of Pingchuan, they will definitely not be the opponents of these war elephants; it is worth noting that he has tried his best to get it from the Tonghai Jiedu envoy of Nanzhao. These trained behemoths and riders. It can be said that, except for the giant crossbow weapons that guard the city, there is no real threat to their existence on this land.
For this reason, it’s okay to sit and watch both wings are completely defeated, as long as the original formation you are in can win, the more the miscellaneous currents and the subordinate caves and villagers die, the better, and the more they can consume The Han family is even better.
"Let all the village soldiers belonging to Wudong go forward to kill the enemy, and the bustard will supervise the battle..."
Then he raised the banner of his beast's mouth and silver rod loudly
"If the left and right ministries dare to retreat, whether it is Dongzhu or Dongjiang, they will be killed on the spot..."
Following the disturbance, most of the barbarians rushed towards the enemy line; then they saw a large swath of smoke-stained arrow feathers flying from the opposite side again, but with completely different sounds and movements, it was like a crisp. The thunder bursts among the arrays of barbarians and elephant soldiers;
"This is the first cry from the age of firearms."
Zhou Huaian couldn't help but sighed to himself as he listened to the intensive blasts in the distance;
"Since I know that you are a southern barbarian army, how can you not be guarded against beast soldiers and war elephants... even if you are not afraid of fire, are you not afraid of explosions?"
Then he turned and ordered to the left and right.
"Don't keep your hands anymore, shoot out the remaining poisonous smoke balls and arson cans...maybe you won't use them..."
This is the first experimental firearm put on the battlefield under his command. Of course, from the perspective of later generations, it looks rather crude and full of crude and crude meaning. That is, it is tied to an arrow shaft and fired out. Only paper firecrackers with big fingers and manual alignment of the lead are needed; it is more similar to a later generation of firecrackers called earth mines, with a special sound that directly kills injuries. In fact, it is not great, but the effect of frightening and shocking livestock and personnel is quite good.
In fact, the dozen or so elephant soldiers that were focused on the fire were suddenly stunned, and then they were like huge energy bursts out of the enemy’s line; the elephants were frightened and swept across and swept down and bumped. Flew a piece of brutal soldiers and vehicles that could not dodge, or panicked and raised their front hoofs and stomped on the left and right. Amidst the crunchy screams, wailing, and screams, those The surging force of the large number of brutal soldiers was broken up into pieces.
The first ones to bear the brunt are those of the remaining Wudong Township soldiers who have completed the array, as well as the bustards who are behind the war. . . As for the ordinary barbarians who were not high-spirited and panicked, they screamed and screamed in panic, vying for sumo to the ground as if they were kneeling and praying. (End of this chapter)
