Chapter 745: Heavy Steps

Hengdian, Deng Su looked at the formation of the Ming army on the opposite side from a distance, and was stunned. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the forefront of the Ming army was actually the infantry, that is, the famous miner battalion. And two cavalry units, one on the left and one on the right, were located in the flank rear of the miners' battalion.

Actually want to use infantry to hard-resist the impact of the cavalry of the Qin State? Deng Su couldn't believe his eyes.

"They're crazy, aren't they?" He turned his head to look at Deng Pu, who was pretending to be a small soldier, and asked in shock.

Deng Pu was silent for a moment, "The hoplites of the Ming army are real hoplites, their whole body is almost armed to the teeth, and the money spent by each soldier is no less than raising a cavalry, and it has always been the ace of the Ming army." Every soldier in this army was a miner, tall and strong, and it would be difficult for any army to resist their sharpness in a duel with them. ”

"Could it be that they will be able to withstand the onslaught of our heavy horses?" Deng Su sneered: "Then they also think too highly of themselves, right?" ”

"Have you seen them fighting?" Deng Pu's voice was low, "They are preparing to have a wave of death to enter your formation, Deng Su, you only have one chance to charge, because of the existence of the opponent's cavalry, it is impossible for your second or even third wave of cavalry to attack these hoplites." So, it's an uphill battle. The winner wins everything, and the loser will have nothing. It's a battle of wills! ”

"The Qin people have never been afraid of killing on the battlefield, let alone a powerful enemy." Deng Su's voice was high-spirited.

Deng Pu nodded slowly: "10,000 cavalry will attack the opponent's miners' battalion, and the other 10,000 or so will be divided into two thousand each, cutting off the connection between the opponent's two cavalry and the miners' battalion." ”

"What about our infantry?"

"The infantry is here to prevent the opponent's Flood Battalion and the Giant Wood Battalion from appearing on the battlefield, and I hope that they will be the last force to deliver the decisive blow to the opponent." Deng Pu took a deep breath: "Our infantry equipment is too poor, and the equipment of the three enemy armies in front of us now is too strong, if they are allowed to attack first, they will only die in vain." ”

Deng Su nodded approvingly. The captured equipment of the Ming army scouts really shocked him.

"Second brother, be careful." Deng Su lifted his horse lance and looked at Deng Pu.

Deng Pu nodded and did not speak.

Deng Su didn't say much more, raised the horse lance, and shouted: "Raise the flag!" ”

Three drums sounded, accompanied by a long horn, dozens of flags immediately rose in the 20,000 cavalry, behind Deng Su, a general waved the flag, and dozens of flags moved in response. As the Chinese army flag orders came out one after another, the 20,000 cavalry began to slowly change formations.

Ming Army, Miners' Battalion. At the front were rows of strong ballista trucks, stone artillery trucks, these expensive guys, who were supposed to shoot the enemy at a distance under the heavy protection of the infantry, but now, they were treated as cannon fodder and placed more than a hundred meters away from the hoplites.

"They can't come back!" Huo Guang also put on the heavy miner's battalion heavy Kai, looking at the more than 100 crossbow carts and gun carts in front of him, he couldn't bear it. "Lu Feng, they are sending them to death!"

Lu Feng nodded, "Yes, send them to death, after they shoot the crossbow arrows, they have no place to escape except for moving forward, they can only meet the impact of the opponent's iron cavalry with their flesh and blood." ”

"Why?" Huo Guang couldn't help but ask: "I said I wouldn't interfere with your command, but I still want to know, why is this?" ”

"Crossbow arrows, stone cannons, it's the first wave of killing." Lu Feng's voice couldn't hear any emotional waves, "Then these things will become an obstacle to the cavalry impact, this is the second step." When the cavalry arrives here, whether they want it or not, the speed will slow down, and these crossbowmen and stone artillerymen have a chance to kill a few enemies to cushion themselves. ”

"That's all?"

"What's more, behind them." Lu Feng pointed to the weeds that were higher than his knees, "Huo Bingbu, can you see what is hidden inside?" ”

"What's hidden? Tribulus terrestris? Or a trap? Huo Guang shook his head: "I can't see it." ”

"Grass is a steel wire from the inside." Lu Feng said in a low voice: "This is the arsenal in Taiping City that has just been made this year, although it is extremely thin, but it is the most tenacious. ”

"Another kind of tripwire?" Huo Guang's eyes lit up.

"It's not just that simple, Huo Bingbu, the high-speed running war horses, their hooves will be easily cut off by these wires, these more than 100 meters, I left them to accelerate. The reason why these things are placed in front of them is just to make them let their guard down. Lu Feng laughed cruelly. The so-called heavy cavalry of the Qin State is only 5,000 people who are really equipped with heavy armor, and the others are only wearing leather armor, so they are also worthy of weighing the cavalry? ”

He looked around at a walking steel man behind him, "We are the real hoplites. ”

"Okay, today, I'll be the vanguard of you to break the formation and break the cavalry." Huo Guang laughed. "Let me see with my own eyes, how did the hoplites make a big Pi Qin State Iron Cavalry?"

"When you live up to the expectations of the Huo Army, with the help of the Huo Army, Lu Feng will die if he can't win this battle." Lu Feng raised the big knife in his hand high.

There was a loud bang, and thousands of large knives were raised.

"Falling armor!" Lu Feng's voice clearly reached the ears of every soldier.

With a knife in one hand and a lower armor in the other, Kaka's voice made the entire army, except for the shape of a human being, turn into a pile of walking steel.

The horses' hooves trampled on the ground neatly and powerfully, from broken steps to trots, from trots to gallops, and rows of heavy horses rapidly expanded in the eyes of the Ming army.

At the forefront, a lieutenant glanced left and right at the comrades on both sides who were brazenly dying, and laughed loudly: "Brothers, today we are the vanguard, come on, people die in the sky, and they will not die for thousands of years." Let the Qin people see the demeanor of our Ming Dynasty. ”

"Yo ho!" More than 100 Ming soldiers shouted in unison, tightly holding the crossbow machine stone cannon in their hands, and staring closely at the rapidly approaching heavy cavalry.

Running at the forefront is the real elite of the Qin State, thousands of ironclad heavy horses, and it is also the old capital of the Deng clan of the Qin State.

"Put!" The captain roared violently, wrenched the machine in his hand, fired three arrows, and the crossbow arrows swept through the air with a terrible whistling, leaving only the afterimage of the Dao in the air, and the sky was also full of stone bullets that flew up.

Shoot off the crossbow arrows, stone cannons, the crossbowmen shouted again, overturned the flatbed cart loaded with the crossbow machine stone cannons, and picked up the horse lances from the ground, these horse lances, before the war, Lu Feng specially asked the cavalry battalion to come.

They half-crouched behind these carts, their horses sticking out diagonally, and the rest was just waiting.

Waiting for the enemy to rush up, waiting for the lance in their hands to penetrate deep into the body of the enemy or the body of the warhorse, and of course, they are also waiting to meet the incomparable impact with their flesh and blood.

The crossbow arrows easily tore apart the heavy cavalry's armor, and shot the heavy cavalry off their horses one by one, the people died, and the horses were still galloping forward, hundreds of crossbow arrows, and hundreds of cavalry fell off their horses. No matter how thick the armor of the heavy cavalry is, it can't stop the strong power of the crossbow arrows. The stone cannons that fall from the sky are not as cruel as the crossbow arrows seem to hit people, and where the crossbow arrows pass, the blood rushes wildly, and the arms and thighs can be easily torn apart from the body where the crossbow arrows pass. The stone cannon fell on his body, causing dark wounds, smashing people's tendons and broken muscles, but he couldn't see a few drops of blood.

But the casualties of one or two hundred people, for the charging lineup of thousands of people, are obviously like bubbles in the sea, completely insignificant, not to mention not to let the Qin army be distracted by this, everyone who charges forward has actually already held the heart of death.

The heavy horses crashed into the obstacles in front of them, some fell, while others were still running forward, and the lances that had been waiting for them pierced into their bodies fiercely at this time.

The horse lance was forced, deeply penetrated into the body of the war horse, the whole lance rod suddenly changed, the horse lance was not broken, but the impact force of the war horse was too great, and the soldier holding the horse lance was still knocked high, and the next moment, it was already submerged in the rolling horse tide.

The lieutenant stood with his legs crossed, the mallet bent and straightened, the palms of his hands, and the smell of scorching paste, he threw away the mallet, pulled out the knife, roared and rushed head-on, got under the horse's legs, his hand rose, the knife fell, and his foot was broken. Xiang deftly weaved his way through the horses, severing the legs of his enemies until an iron spear pierced deep into his back.

The war horses are still galloping forward.

Lu Feng held the knife in both hands, raised it high, and half-fell forward. The miners' battalion raised their knives at the same time as he moved, and thousands of broadswords rose diagonally.

"Ho!" In the front row, Zou Zheng, the deputy general of the miner battalion, took half a step forward, and the soldiers in the first three rows also took half a step forward with him, but the blade did not move.

"Ho!" Another roar, and another half step forward.

In the distance, Deng Su's face was even more grim than before, and the miner battalion raised his knife and moved forward, only taking two and a half steps forward, but his heart trembled twice.

Thousands of people moved, but it was like a person, in front of his eyes, at this moment, the snowy phalanx moved forward a little neatly, and he was also a general in command, Deng Su naturally knew how difficult it would be to do this.

The shock that the other party gave him, in the blink of an eye, was replaced by anger. Because in front of the shiny knife array, his heavy horses, like severed leeks, fell to the ground in rows, and once they fell to the ground, it meant death, because even if the companions behind wanted to stop, they couldn't do it at all, except to ride forward and trample on their companions mercilessly, they had no second choice.

But he who crossed his companion fell again before him.

Deng Su's face changed drastically, it was not a stumbling block, because he clearly saw that those war horses had lost their legs.

Before he could figure out what it was, the shocking sound of ho-ho sounded again, this time not half a step, but a whole row of forward movements, the heavy infantry trotting, but their peers, still holding extremely steady.

"Fall!" With a roar, the heavy cavalry who fell to the ground instantly turned into minced meat.
