The sunset is still shining, and the red sunset fills half the sky.

The half-hidden, half-hidden, and still lingering sunset is like a graceful beauty, which has aroused countless literati and ink writers to be proud, wanton and untiring.

Loudi originally looks at the slanting sun, the warmth is mellow, and the beauty is picturesque.

There are now fierce soldiers under Hangu Pass, hunting with flags, and the soldiers are like prisons.

The remnant sun evening dress is infinitely good, bathing in mountains and rivers;

How many heroes look up, but they have no intention of setting the sun, only in the country.

??????

The sunset hangs on the west mountain, and the afterglow reflects the wasteland.

"The crossbowmen step forward, ten volleys, put!"

"Where is the chariot?????? Charge! ”

On the stage of the commander of the Xiliang Army, with Guo Jia waving the order flag, the commander of the rear army, Bo Caiguan, ordered the order.

With a loud shout, the whole army was told that the bow and crossbow battalions that had already left for the front of the battle should be lined up, advancing fifty paces to the front of the formation, and then arranged in a cross formation, with the crossbow carts at the forefront, and thousands of crossbowmen wound their bows and prepared for their strength. When Bo shouted the word "release", all the bows and crossbows moved in response, and the thunderbolts were startled, and the black-pressed arrows suddenly flew into the air, and immediately went straight to the hundreds of chariots galloping in front of the Allied army.

At the same time, the 500 chariots that heard Bocai's order burst out of battle, galloped out from both flanks of the war cavalry, and after passing the soldiers of the crossbow battalion, they quickly gathered in the middle, and then galloped wildly, facing the Allied chariots.

It is worth mentioning that most of the chariots of the Xiliang Army were two-horse chariots, and the war horses were armoured, and each chariot had four heavy infantry armed with halberds. During the run, two armor soldiers drove their horses to run, and the other two were holding halberds and preparing for the attack.

On the other hand, the Allied chariot array is numerous. There are as many as 1,000 vehicles, twice as many as the Xiliang chariot array; However, there were only a hundred two-horse chariots, and the rest were all one-horse chariots, but there were still four soldiers on the chariots. In other words, these more than 1,000 chariots carried no less than 5,000 Allied soldiers, and the strength was still twice that of the Xiliang charioteers.

In addition, when the bow and crossbow battalion of the Western Liang Army fired ten rounds of salvos. The 20,000 archers in front of the Allied army also marched fifty paces in front of the formation, in a trapezoidal configuration, and shot in formation. The target of its shooting is also the chariot formation of the Western Liang Army.

"Whoosh--whew!"

In the whistling sound, tens of thousands of sharp arrows of the Xiliang army and the allied forces rose into the sky, roaring into the sky like dark clouds. Suddenly, I saw two pieces of arrow rain flying 100 meters and then staggered through the air. Thousands of arrows collided in the air. "Click" folds its wings and falls suddenly; Most of the sharp arrows passed by, and then fell obliquely, like a raging storm, and swooped down on the chariot formations in front of the two armies.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Under the rain of arrows that covered the sky and the sun, more than 1,000 allied chariots galloped and rumbled, and they collided head-on with more than 500 two-horse chariots in front of the Xiliang army. In the deafening roar, I saw that the chariots were several feet apart from each other, and there was a four-sided iron cone about five feet long and thigh-thick in the center of the chariot. This is true for every chariot, with an iron cone on each side of the wheel. In the midst of the gallop of the chariot. The iron cone spun rapidly as the wheel rolled, like a high-speed spinning meat grinder, and rumbled towards the chariot array on the opposite side.

In the confrontation between the two armies, the greatest attack power of the chariot charge is the propeller-like quadrangular iron cone with great lethality on the wheels of the chariots on both sides. The iron cone was about three feet (about seventy centimeters) above the ground, and it could not only strangle the infantry, but also pose a threat to the cavalry's war horses. If 500 chariots were allowed to rush into the army's formation, they would be like wild beasts rushing into a flock of sheep, killing and running rampant, enough to break five or even ten times as many times as many infantry formations.

However, because the horses were armoured, the soldiers were heavy infantry, and there were two quadrangular iron cones weighing more than 100 catties, the weight was too heavy. Therefore, the vehicle seems to be running at a high speed, but it is not really fast. It's just that the chariot galloping is immense, mighty, murderous, and intimidating.

"Puff, puff, puff!"

Whizzing arrows rained down, and although most of the sharp arrows fell on the chariots, blocked by the armor and the body, hundreds of chariot hoplites were still hit by stray arrows. Immediately, in the sound of "poof" arrows piercing armor, one by one the charioteers screamed and turned over and planted the chariot, even if they were not killed by the stray arrows, they would be crushed and strangled to death by the chariots that followed. At the same time, the war horses that were shot by stray arrows were even more destructive, causing the entire chariot array to suffer huge losses. Once the horse is shot or injured by a stray arrow, the horse cannot continue to move forward; Then the chariot will instantly deviate from the formation, and then it will be collided and rolled by the chariot behind it, and then lead a series of chariots to collide. Usually, a chariot suddenly falls, and at least two or three chariots are dragged out of the way, and then the vehicle is destroyed and killed, which is extremely destructive.

Under the surprise attack of the rain of arrows, not only the Allied chariot array suffered heavy losses, but the Xiliang chariot array was not spared, and the losses were also not small.

At this moment, the war is fair for both armies. In the face of the cold and merciless rain of stray arrows, no one is invulnerable to steel and iron bones, whether it is a war horse or a heavy infantry, they are all flesh and blood, and they will die after being shot by stray arrows. At this time, relying on the sky should not be relied on, relying on the ground is not working, and only by relying on oneself to resist the rain of arrows can one survive.

However, the rain of arrows is nothing more than an itching disease for the chariot array, which can only play a certain role in hindering and harassing, but it is not enough to destroy the powerful chariot array wrapped in copper and iron.

"Dadada??????"

Under the rain of arrows, the war horses galloped with their hooves raised, and the sound of the horses shook the sky, completely covering the roar of the arrow rain and breaking through the air. Under the galloping of war horses, more than 1,000 chariots of the two armies with a distance of more than 400 paces leaned over to hedge against each other regardless of it, and the two sides could collide head-on with each other as long as they ran more than 200 steps.

"Bang--boom!"

With a loud bang, the chariots of the two armies running at the front met head-on and collided with each other. And this, like a fuse, instantly ignited the flames of war, opening the prelude to the hedging collision of the chariot.

In the midst of lightning, the chariot galloped. Hundreds of chariots of the two armies were intertwined in a collision. There was a loud rumbling sound, but I saw the chariots hitting head-on. The armored horses were instantly crushed into pulp, and the heavily armored soldiers were thrown into the sky, and when they fell, they were greeted by the Morimori halberd and the chariots that went forward one after another.

Those chariots that were lucky enough to avoid the collision were still galloping on horseback, and the heavy armored soldiers in the hedge waved their halberds at each other, with white blades in and red knives out, and the bloody battle officially began from this moment. On the chariot, the heavy armor soldiers wielded halberds and fought hard. Either you die or I die, there is no other choice; Under the chariot, Bai Sensen's iron cone rotated rapidly. Or break the horse's leg in an instant, or collide with the iron cone on the opponent's chariot, and then the chariot is destroyed, or two colliding chariots are destroyed together.

After the chariot array met. There is no prelude at all. At first glance, the confrontation is a game of life and death. The speed of the impact, the violence of the collision, and the fierceness of the battle are far better than the battles between any of the arms; Even a warhorse charge cannot be compared. Therefore, every charioteer is actually a dead soldier who is not afraid of death, and he is also the bravest soldier, because the entire chariot array is a death squad.

Fortunately, the size of the chariot array is not too large. Whether it is a fine war horse or a brass cast iron chariot, it is a very rare luxury and the cost is high; The money needed to form a fleet of 500 chariots. Far more than a light cavalry of 30,000 men. Therefore, the princes of all walks of life are unable to form a large-scale chariot array, and at present, the chariot array of the allied army is put together by the princes of all walks of life, among which Yuan Shao of Jizhou occupies the majority, with 600 chariots, while the other princes of all walks of life are only more than 100 chariots at best.

"Boom, boom?????? Kill! ”

Such a tragic chariot collision not only did not make the charioteers feel afraid, but stimulated their bloody nature hidden deep in their bones, prompting them to boil their blood and drive the chariot to fight bravely. As a result, one after another chariots took off and rolled, one by one the heavy armored soldiers screamed and flew into the sky, and one by one the horses were crushed to death, but the battle continued, the battle was in full swing, and the chariot array collided at a critical moment. A steady stream of chariots entered the strangulation field, and thousands of brave charioteers rushed forward to devote themselves to the bloody battle.

On the battlefield in front of the formation, which was only 300 paces ahead, the chariots roared, the horses neighed, the halberds waved like a whirlwind, and the flesh and blood splashed like a torrential rain. The sound of collisions, horses, neighing, shouting, roaring, the sound of weapons breaking bodies, and the terrible screams one after another, were continuous and piercing. These voices are all intertwined and blended together, and it is a terrifying, earth-shattering unknown sound that makes people feel terrible and unbearable to face it.

However, this is war. There is no need for mercy, no tears, and no sympathy at all; What is needed here is the courage to be fearless, the warriors who dare to fight and are not afraid of death; As long as there is a breath left, he will not put down his weapon and fight to the death. This is a man's battle, it doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong, whether it's right or wrong, it doesn't distinguish between black and white; Only life and death, winning this war, can continue to live. Nothing else.

"The enemy is defeated, and the soldiers will be killed with me!"

In the extremely tragic chariot collision, he saw a bearded general wearing Xiliang battle armor, running between the chariots on foot, holding a halberd two feet long and inserting it into the wheel of an allied chariot, and then single-handedly overturned the chariot alive. Immediately, Dan saw him leap and landed on the back of a Xiliang two-horse chariot that rushed to the front, and then raised his halberd and raised his arms and shouted, leading the Xiliang chariot array, which had only more than 100 left, to launch a final round of attack on the allied chariot.

This extremely brave Xiliang general may still be very unfamiliar to the allied princes and generals, and there are not many people who know him, but the soldiers of the Xiliang Army are very familiar with him. Because he is the general of the Guards Army beside Li Li, and he is also one of the few fierce generals in Xiliang who is good at fighting on foot, Hu Che'er, the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei, who is known as "carrying a weight of 500 catties and traveling 700 miles a day".

―――――― (To be continued) ―――――― (To be continued......

PS: Foreign language: I don't know if this chapter can satisfy you, but Hu Ben thought about it for a day and a night in order to write this chapter.

To be honest, when you read this chapter now, it may feel very normal and have no special highlights; But Hu Ben wants to say that in fact, this seemingly ordinary war situation is the most laborious, and it can be described as labor.

In fact, many peers will choose to use the Spring and Autumn brushwork in this link, sketch the outline in a few sentences, and then pass it by and tell you the result directly. Because of this, save worry and effort, don't bother, the speed of the code word is fast, why not.

Tiger Ben also thought about simplifying things like this, and didn't bother to think about the specific details, after all, war is still far away from our real life. However, after seeing the miserable pictures of many women and children under the Iraq war on the news last night, Hu Ben suddenly felt that the war is actually not far away from us, at least not as far as most of us imagined.

Inspired by the cruelty of war and the plight of women and children living in it, Tiger Ben spent the night thinking about it and finally coded this chapter tonight??? The content of this chapter, whether it is good or not, is not the focus of Hu Ben's attention, what Hu Ben really cares about is whether what he does with his heart can be recognized by everyone. The historical text is not just to look lively, but also to let the wise people learn from it, and help us in life and learning, at least so that we can cherish the existing happy life more.

If this can be done, the tiger will be satisfied.
