Chapter 457: Fighting the Earthquake Army (Part II)

Chinese On the opposite side of the battlefield, a Western Xia iron cavalry in black armor, like a huge dark cloud and like a surging tide, crushed towards the formation listed by the Song army, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves was like rolling thunder, and it was like an endless stormy wave, endless.

Using cavalry to deal with cavalry is the best way, in fact, like the Western Xia people's way of attack, it is quite simple to deal with, when engaged, you only need to avoid the tip of the opponent's cone-shaped charge formation, and then divide the left and right sides to outflank it, but what the Great Song Dynasty lacks is the war horse, and the slow-moving foot soldiers can't deal with it in this way, and this kind of engagement can only be common in the confrontation between the Tangut people and the Liao.

Various expressions such as astonishment and horror on the faces of the soldiers kept changing, but the Western Army is the Western Army, unlike the forbidden army in Hebei, Biandu, and Jiangnan, the soldiers in the Western Army are the most elite warriors of the Great Song Dynasty, and they know in their hearts that if they escape, they will not only face military law, but even die tragically in the hands of the Western Xia cavalry.

Woo! Woo! Woo......

The arrows fired from the bed crossbow had less resistance to travel through the air, and the speed was naturally twice as fast as those jars containing gunpowder thrown with catapults, only to see the huge bed crossbow arrows crashing into the body of the elite Iron Harrier cavalry of the Western Xia cavalry in the sound of banging.

The harrier cavalry is connected by chains, that is, in the process of impact, a row of cavalry casualties will not affect the impact on the enemy, and even if the knight dies on the horse, due to the connection of the chains, the corpse will not fall from the horse.

The two of them knew that it was not good, but they couldn't get off the horse to escape at all, and the deafening loud sound came with a huge impact, and the two of them, together with the Western Xia knights around them, no longer knew what happened later.

Although black powder was the most violent gunpowder at this time, and its lethality was also amazing, it was a scum-like existence compared to various modern gunpowder in later generations. Therefore, if the gunpowder is just wrapped in ordinary things, the explosive force exerted in that way can only be regarded as a large firecracker, but if the black powder is put into a sealed stone hole or iron tool and then ignited, the explosion power is quite large, and it is not a problem to blow up the boulder.

Lao Li and Lao Zhu of the Ordnance Supervisor were both experts in the study of gunpowder, and for this reason, they specially looked for those particularly heavy porcelain jars to hold gunpowder, in order to burst out the maximum power of gunpowder. Even in order to increase the lethality, the two of them mixed a lot of iron pieces and other things in the outermost layer of gunpowder.

The faces of the generals of the two armies who were watching should be lit up by huge colored flames, and the dull sound of thunder shook people's ears, and echoed in the mountains surrounded by mountains.

Five catapults, throwing fifteen clay pots at a time, in a scattered form in the formation of the Western Xia cavalry to explode fifteen explosion points, each clay pot has a lethality of thirty to fifty steps; Although the lethality of those heavy arrows tied to explosives is far less than that of clay pots, it is also quite amazing, and although the iron harrier of the elite of Western Xia has heavy armor protection, it can also resist the impact of the explosion without believing, and it has caused a lot of casualties.

Many tin can war horses were frightened and wanted to flee in all directions, but the chains that tightly connected these war horses made these war horses helpless, but they became a mess.

"What's going on?" Brother Cha, who was waiting to admire the good show of the Western Xia Iron Cavalry crushing and wantonly slaughtering the Song army, suddenly opened his eyes wide, and an expression of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

The huge roar and lethality were terrifying when the Western Xia light cavalry guarding both sides of the iron tank saw such a scene, and the attack formation was obviously stagnant.

Liu Fa's big eyes, who were sitting on the carriage with broken legs, were also flashing with shock and excitement in his eyes at this moment, and even his body trembled slightly.

After experiencing two defeats in Tong'an City and Gai Zhuwei in a row, Lotte also held a bad breath in his heart, and saw the Xixia people slaughtering his robes with his own eyes, and Lotte's hatred for the Xixia people became heavier and heavier, as the so-called taking advantage of his illness to kill him, Lotte didn't care if he was slaughtering the Xixia elite iron harriers who had been in a mess and couldn't attack.

Two different sounds of breaking the air sounded again, and the clay pot containing gunpowder and the heavy arrow hanging with gunpowder poured down again towards the stagnant Xixia Iron Harrier.

After two bombardments, the two thousand Xixia heavy riding iron harriers immediately lost nearly two percent, and due to the chaos caused by the explosion, the Western Xia iron harriers completely lost the ability to attack, and they could be lambs to be slaughtered in the eyes of Lotte.

Liu Fa, who was sitting in the handsome car of the Chinese army, couldn't hold back any longer, and took the lead in shouting hello, and then the soldiers in the Song army camp also cheered, and the originally somewhat low morale immediately became agitated.

Seeing that the Iron Harrier was hit hard by the Song army, the attack of the Western Xia light cavalry on both wings of the Iron Harrier was also stagnant, and the iron harrier with heavy armor was so vulnerable in front of the Song army's firearms, not to mention his own light cavalry wearing light armor.

Eighty percent of the wealth in society is occupied by 20 percent of the people, and 80 percent of the people occupy 20 percent of the wealth, and this 28 rule is also applicable in war, the backbone of the army is the 20 percent of the people, and the Tangut Iron Harrier is undoubtedly the 20 percent of the backbone of the Tangut army.

"Bastard!" Seeing that the attack was frustrated, and the elite Iron Harrier suffered heavy casualties, Cha Ge's eyes were red and almost burst into flames.

Cha Ge knew that when facing the Song army, heavy cavalry like the Iron Harrier could sweep all the light cavalry and infantry of the Song Army in addition to the infantry armor of the Song Army, but the large density and interconnection of the Iron Harrier also happened to bring convenience to the slaughter of the Song army's firearms, and in front of the Song army's firearms, the Iron Harrier was just a group of well-trained cannon fodder.

There was a little gloom in his expression, and Brother Cha ordered: "The herald orders the light cavalry left and right to cover the retreat of the iron harrier!" ”
