Chapter 558: Insurmountable

There was no temptation to attack the Huns, from the beginning it was the most violent and violent state, the anger of the loss of the homeland was vented at this moment, the Huns' attack was like a flood that burst the embankment, all over the mountains, the mountains and the tsunami, the mighty and mighty, sweeping everything.

However, the Wei army's chariot formation was as steady as Mount Tai, standing majestically in front, like a solid iron gate, not afraid of the impact of the flood.

The earliest application of the partial van in history was Ma Long in the Western Jin Dynasty, when the bald tree function of Xianbei in Hexi rebelled in Liangzhou, and he beheaded several Liangzhou assassins, and the government and the opposition were shaken, and no one dared to fight, but Ma Long stepped forward and led the 3,500 warriors he recruited himself, and embarked on the journey to the west.

And Ma Long's biggest reliance is the partial van car, the car is a formation, the car is a battalion, the journey is thousands of miles, and he shot tens of thousands of Xianbei soldiers along the way, and finally killed the bald tree function and recovered Liangzhou.

Cao Liang's design of the partial van and Ma Long's partial van car is similar but also different, this era is still thirty or forty years from Ma Long's invention of the partial van, Cao Liang did not have the opportunity to see the real thing, but he according to the historical records and the improvement of the later generations of the partial van, developed a unique partial van.

Compared with Ma Long's partial van, Cao Liang's partial van is more sturdy and sturdy, with strong defensive capabilities, and more flexible mobility, Ma Long can defeat ten times his own Xianbei people with his partial van, Cao Liang doesn't believe that he has more than 10,000 people, and can't deal with several times more Huns?

On the battlefield, the decisive factor in victory or defeat is by no means only the number of troops, if the number of people can decide everything, then there is no need for so many examples of the victory of the enemy with the small and the defeat of the enemy with the weak.

The bald tree function is a ruthless character, he has been in trouble in Liangzhou for nine years, and he has beheaded the four thorns of the Jin Dynasty, and the world is shaken, and Ma Long has defeated the invincible bald tree function with only more than 3,000 people, which shows the importance of the partial van.

In order to deal with the Hun cavalry, Cao Liang had already begun to build a partial van as early as after the establishment of an ordnance battalion in Hedong County, but because the construction of a partial van required a large amount of wood and a large number of craftsmen, this construction project lasted for more than two months, and it was not until the Wei army conquered Qi County that the partial van was officially equipped into the Wei army.

And this battle of Dongguan was also the time when the partial van car made its debut, not only the Huns were amazed, but even most of the soldiers of the Wei army saw this thing for the first time and felt very fresh.

The side van has a sturdy structure, and iron spikes are installed on the outside of the compartment, and on the inside of the compartment, you can arrange spearmen and crossbowmen to use the compartment as cover to strike at the attacking enemy.

The Huns didn't know the power of the partial van at all, but the partial van was just a higher compartment on the basis of the baggage car, so they rushed desperately and tried to destroy the partial van with speed and strength.

The crossbowmen hiding behind the carriage were not afraid of the arrows of the Huns at all, and the box board was the best all-round shield, and the crossbowmen of the Wei army could shoot at the Huns who rushed up without worrying about injury.

Random arrows like flying, unlucky Hun cavalry will be injured by stray arrows, fall to the horse, and because the Wei army shot a large number of arrows, the Huns' formation is too dense, so before the Huns rushed to the front of the side car, there have been countless Hun soldiers have been trampled into flesh.

The distance on the battlefield was only a few blinks of an eye for the high-speed cavalry, and these Hun horsemen broke through the archers' nets and soon rushed to the side van.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! In the face of the side van car that stopped in front, the Hun soldiers did not seem to have the slightest sign of stopping, and were still speeding at high speed, and the strong inertia made the war horse smash heavily on the side van.

The horse's head was shattered, but the board of the side carriage was undamaged, leaving only a shallow pit in the board.

The Huns were dumbfounded, it stands to reason that such a powerful impact, any kind of vehicle can not withstand it, in the past, when dealing with the baggage vehicles, the Hun cavalry used the speed and strength of the war horses, and easily destroyed those baggage vehicles.

But these partial vans in front of them are strong and abnormal, they can't be scattered, they can't be smashed, and they can't break through this line of defense even if the Hun cavalry repeatedly attacks.

The Huns did not have the opportunity to stand on the back, otherwise they would have been surprised, the side van car is made of three-inch red pine planks, every two feet, there is a wooden reinforcement, and there are poles to support, such a structure, how can it be compared with a thin baggage car.

It is precisely because of such a strong structure that it can withstand the repeated attacks of the Hun cavalry.

The Huns also do not believe in evil, the people in front have hit their heads and bled out, and the people behind still do not have a long memory, like moths to a fire, they continue to pounce up, as the saying goes, they do not hit the south wall and do not look back, but the Huns do not look back after hitting the south wall.

Now the busiest are the archers and spearmen of the Wei army, the Hun cavalry attacked to the front, could not break through the defense of the van, they became a live target, the Wei army kept shooting, especially the crossbowmen, killing the enemy was simply bursting, a large area of Hun soldiers even fell with men and horses.

The Hun soldiers also had bows and arrows, and they also tried to use bows and arrows to fight back, but after shooting out the arrows, they looked sadly, either on the wooden board of the side carriage, or they missed in the air, and the bows and arrows would not bend, and they would never be able to hurt the Wei soldiers hiding behind the carriage.

Liu Meng's face was pale, and the Wei army's defense line, which he thought would be easily breached, was like an iron wall, and the Huns lost at least a thousand people in this round of attack, but they gained nothing.

Is the vehicle made of wood or iron?

Yes, wood is most afraid of fire!

Liu Meng was excited, the fire can overcome the wood, why not let him go on fire and burn these side vans?

So Liu Meng ordered the attack to be suspended, and sent people to find things like fire oil, and then made into torches, or wrapped strips of oil cloth around arrows to make rockets.

The Huns attacked again, this time instead of swords and guns in their hands, they replaced them with torches or rockets, and thousands of torches were lit, although it was broad daylight, but you could still see the flames all over the mountains.

Braving the rain of arrows, many cavalry rushed to the front of the side carriage and threw the blazing torches under the side carriage. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "The Last Three Kingdoms 2: Xingwei Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
