Chapter 348: Secret Weapon
A bleak warm wind swept the dust towards the location of Jin Wuwei's large array. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the hot and dry September, this wide yellow earth outside Jizhou is even colder than winter.
Jin Wuwei, the most elite forbidden army of the Great Yu Kingdom, and the Blood Wolf Guard, one of the strongest cavalry of the barbarians, will start a battle here.
At this time, Luo Hong looked at the cavalry of the barbarians three hundred meters away, and the hand holding the sword at his waist turned white because he was too hard.
Fighting brothers, fathers and sons, he has followed Luo Quan to fight in the south and north since he was a child, and in more than 20 years of getting along, he can understand a look from his father.
"Worry about the country and forget yourself, sacrifice your life for righteousness!"
This is exactly what his father wants to say, and this is the family motto that the Luo family has passed down since their ancestors.
Looking at the soldiers in front of him, Luo Hong's gaze gradually became firm, in order to save the Great Yu Country from danger, Jin Wuwei would not retreat, and he Luo Hong would not retreat.
"Woo ......"
The horn of the barbarian attack began to sound, and as was the usual practice of fighting the barbarians on the steppe, the barbarians' cavalry was the first to strike.
They urged their horses to rush towards Jin Wuwei's battle array, and fifty meters away from the battle array, the barbarian cavalry suddenly threw a wave of arrows.
"Raise your shield!"
The captains in the array gave orders one after another.
Suddenly, the sword and shield hands behind the 10,000-strong array raised their shields one after another, this kind of shield was about a meter long, wooden but covered with a layer of iron sheet.
For a moment, the silver shield was facing upwards, protecting the crossbowmen and spearmen under the shield.
When they finished their movements, an overwhelming array of bows and arrows came in the blink of an eye.
"Ding Ding ......"
Dense bows and arrows landed on the shield with a metallic grinding sound, and the barbarian arrows pierced the iron sheet and nailed it to the wooden shield.
At the same time, the screams also sounded at this moment, and where the shield could not be protected, there were still soldiers who were killed and wounded by bows and arrows, and they fell down one after another.
"Crossbowman, release the arrows!"
After the barbarian's cavalry shot a round of bows and arrows, an order was suddenly heard.
At this time, the crossbowman suddenly raised his crossbow, and with a "whoosh" sound, dense arrows flew towards the barbarian cavalry fifty meters away.
Just as they were about to turn around and attack the formation of the Great Yu army from both flanks, the barbarian cavalry suddenly turned on their backs.
It's just that the barbarian cavalry did not stop, they began to move to both sides along the formation of the Jin Wuwei, and in the process of moving, they used bows and arrows to attack the soldiers in the battle formation from time to time.
Luo Hong observed the situation on the battlefield, the method of the barbarians attacking the Great Chongqing State has never changed, but this method is also the most troublesome.
The Barbarians' cavalry is not the main force, but in fact only a secondary class, and the task of these mounted archery is to disrupt the dense battle formations of the infantry by attacking and harassing.
Because in the face of dense infantry battle formations, the barbarians can rarely bargain.
At this time, the dense barbarian cavalry shot like a flood hitting a stone, and immediately diverted to both sides, at this time, Luo Hong asked the standard-bearer to play the flag, and at the same time the war drums were beating.
"Stay in formation!"
"Stay in formation!"
“……”
One after another orders sounded in the battle array, and the soldiers in the battle array continued to suffer casualties under the attack of the barbarian cavalry.
Luo Hong gritted his teeth, he knew that he had to withstand this wave of casualties, and there was nothing he could do.
For the sake of Fencheng, Luo Quan took most of the cavalry, and the remaining 10,000 cavalry had to be used on the blade.
On the other side, Chagatai was also watching the battle between the two armies.
"The Jin Wuwei of the forbidden army really lives up to his reputation, and he can still maintain the formation in this situation." Chagatai said with a frown.
Gu Duo said loudly: "This Jin Wuwei is the elite army of the great general Luo Quan, and only this Luo Quan can fight in the forbidden army." ”
"Really? Since this is the case, it is even more impossible to let this Jin Wuwei leave Jizhou. Chagatai said coldly: "Now the Qingzhou army is besieged by us in Fencheng, and the grain road is cut off by us, before leaving, Taiji also told us to cut off the grain road first, and then besiege the forbidden army, you now immediately lead 20,000 light horsemen to detour to the rear, while their grain route has not yet entered the camp, burn their grain and grass." ”
Gu Duo nodded, urging the war horse under the seat to lead the light horse towards Jin Wuwei's back bread.
Seeing Gu Duo leave, Chagatai looked at the two armies that were fighting again, his purpose was to stop the forbidden army from rushing to Fencheng, and to stop the forbidden army here at the lowest cost.
Therefore, he was not prepared to let the heavy cavalry behind him launch a charge to fight head-on, but continued to let the cavalry harass.
If the forbidden army can't stand the chaos and the formation is the time for them to reap.
When he was complacent, a scout suddenly came to report and said, "Banner leader, we found a large number of cavalry from the Great Yu Kingdom rushing towards Fencheng. ”
Hearing this, Chagatai's eyes narrowed, and he understood that the forbidden army in front of him had the same purpose as him, which was to contain each other's forces.
Fencheng is the real battlefield.
……
In Yunzhou City, a carriage from Qingzhou slowly drove into the city.
Sitting in the carriage, Lin Wentao looked at the dilapidated city curiously, and after getting Xiao Ming's order, they rushed here with a hot air balloon.
"Lin Wentao!"
While he was looking around, a majestic voice rang out, and when he turned his head, he saw King Qi walking towards him.
"Your Highness." Lin Wentao got off the horse and bowed down and said.
Xiao Ming's expression was urgent at this time, and he didn't stick to these etiquettes, he asked directly: "Have you mastered the simple manipulation of this hot air balloon?" ”
"Your Highness, these days, the advertisements are all operated by the students of our School of Physics to fly hot air balloons around Qingzhou City." Lin Wentao's expression was serious.
Ever since Xiao Ming ordered them to come to Yunzhou, they knew that they might face a war.
Looking at the arriving hot air balloon, Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief, now he has used all the means of war, mature and immature.
Because once he loses this time, his two years of hard work will be in vain, and in the same way, if the barbarians lose the war this time, the land of Youzhou will be at his fingertips.
"That's good, this king wants to give you a very important task, now Niu Ben Dudu is besieged by barbarians in Fencheng, the news is cut off, this king hopes that you can go to Jizhou to investigate the information, and at the same time pass the news to Niu Ben." Xiao Ming said.
Hearing this, Lin Wentao looked at the two people who were also sitting on the horse and said: "Your Highness, his name is Liang Yubin, his name is He Cheng, these days it is the two of them who are manipulating the hot air balloon, this matter must be no problem to be handed over to them, they are all counting on meritorious service." ”
When Xiao Ming heard this, he immediately smiled.
There will be a brave man under the heavy reward, and he said to Liang Yubin and He Cheng: "Okay, if you can complete the task this time, this king will give you two knights after the war." ”
Liang Yubin and He Cheng were overjoyed, and now everyone in the fiefdom was counting on whether they could become the first batch of knighthood winners, and the two said in unison: "Your Highness, please give your orders, we will definitely complete the task." ”
Xiao Ming was relieved in his heart, hoping that the appearance of this secret weapon like a hot air balloon on the battlefield could at least scare the barbarians.
