A war horse couldn't contain its momentum, and one of its front hooves was stepping on it, and the war horse's front hooves suddenly slid forward with a bang like those previous war horses, raising a puff of smoke and dust.

"Tribulus terrestris!" A Murveaulif grew up yelling.

Barra was also shocked: "It's a hoof!" ”

This thistle terrestris is a defensive weapon that has been used in urban defense warfare as early as the Warring States Period. Hu Tao recorded: "Narrow road micro path, Zhang Tie Tribulus terrestris, four inches high, eight inches wide." After the Qin and Han dynasties, thistle terrestris became a commonly used defensive equipment in the army, in addition to being laid around roads, defensive areas, and cities, when the troops were stationed in the camp, they were also laid around the camp. At the beginning of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the types of thistle terrestris had begun to increase, and they were widely used by the army of the feudal towns. Even the steppe tribes far away outside the fortress began to learn to use thistle. When Bara was at war with other tribes, he used to cover the road with thistles at night, and then retreated in a battle at dawn, and when the enemy pursued and passed by, seven or eight out of ten of the tribulus terrestris in the war horses were pursued, and he counterattacked and broke the hostile tribes.

This tribulus terrestris is just a general term, in fact, up to now, there are already various styles.

For example, in the Qin army, there were iron water chestnuts specially set up in the water, astringencies attached to wooden boards, hooves used to stop horses, and even ghost arrows that smeared poison on thorns.

For example, the hoof, which is now used to deal with cavalry, is made of four iron rods cast into a square, seven inches in diameter, and there is an iron whisker stuck in the middle like a barb. Specially designed to stop horses. The iron hooves of the war horse stepped into it. The iron barbed in the middle will jam the horse's hooves. Hurt a horse's legs, it's a weapon that's more powerful than trapping a horse.

The Qin army's cannon just now was not missed, but their cannon bag was filled with this kind of thistle, before the Hu people attacked, they did not find this kind of thistle, so they were relieved to charge, but they did not expect that the Qin army actually used a catapult to drop thistle, and the thistle was packed in the explosive bag and used a catapult to throw it when they were about to rush. Use the blasting of gunpowder to scatter the thistle terrestris like a scattered flower, blocking the way of the charge. They were caught off guard, and many of the cavalry did not notice at all, and as a result, the strikers were attacked one after another.

Tribulus terrestris is dead, especially in this kind of open wilderness, and it is difficult to preset it. However, the Qin army's current move was very powerful, and it was not until the cavalry was about to rush close that they suddenly used catapults to project, which was completely unexpected.

But the effect is excellent. This is easy to make. Defensive equipment that is easy to projectile and can also be recycled repeatedly. At this time, the attacking Hu people were given a blow to the head.

One after another, the horses stepped on their hooves, and then the horses stumbled.

Zhao Zhang held the observation mirror and watched this scene happily, which was really happy. The effect of this hoof squeezing is simply far beyond his expectations.

The momentum of Hu Cai's charge had been hindered because of this, and the cavalry charging behind them slowed down one after another, and the originally scattered formation became denser.

"It's now!" Zhao Zhang shouted: "Throw a minecar, drop a fire oil bomb!" ”

"Yes, Dutou, look at it." The three ace gunners replied, and commanded a few of his men bare-chested to carefully move out of the black crockpots one by one.

The torch ignited the fuse, and then, with a fierce pull, the crockpot with the flame flew in an arc towards the increasingly dense tribal soldiers.

The twenty-pound crockpot flew at high speed and smashed into the enemy army in front of the formation, and it burst open with a bang, and the fragments of the cracked crockpot were scattered like sharp blades, and a black shadow flashed in front of a cavalryman's eyes, and the next moment, half of his head had been cut off. After the smoke of gunpowder, a group of people on the ground turned over on their backs, and the tribal soldiers within a few feet were beaten to pieces, with broken hands and feet, rotten intestines and broken flesh flying everywhere, blood sprayed like rain, broken shields, broken knives and guns, and flying raged leather robes, everywhere.

After this fire oil bomb swept down all the people and horses within three feet, the lethality did not end.

The crockpot burst open, and the fire oil inside was also sprayed out in all directions, like a sudden shower of rain in the sky, and the black viscous liquid was sprinkled everywhere. A horseman's right arm was splintered off with half of his shoulder, revealing a pale shoulder, and some broken muscles remained beside him, blood gushed out of the huge wound like a fountain, and he didn't have time to scream, when suddenly a wisp of black smoke rose from the wound, and a black flame began to burn from his wound.

The black flame burned so fast that he gritted his teeth and slapped it with his other intact hand. But it didn't go out after a few shots, but the palm of the hand began to burn.

A moment later, in the midst of screams of despair and fear, the horseman's whole body burned into a huge torch, and he struggled and rolled to death, but ignited the black liquid on the ground. Soon, within a few feet, there were raging fire-fighting flames everywhere.

"Ahh

Screams of exhaustion followed, and one after another the burning tribal warriors rolled on the ground in horror, their voices filled with utter despair. They had never seen this kind of fire, it could not be extinguished, it could not be extinguished, it was useless to cover it with dirt, it could burn everything.

In the midst of this frightened scream, at this time, countless clay pots flew in the sky, and then in front of the Qin army's formation, there were bursts one after another, followed by countless screams, and the smell of barbecued meat wafted in the air with the wind.

The first round of shells directly blew up and burned hundreds of Hu soldiers, but what frightened the Hu people the most was not the deaths and injuries of these hundreds of people. In such battles, sometimes a rain of arrows fell, and hundreds or thousands fell. What really alarmed them was this weird way of playing, and they still don't understand how this fire is so powerful. I'd rather be hacked to death with a knife or shot by an arrow, but no one wants to be burned alive like this.

The tiger of the chamber was pale, holding a wolf-tooth scimitar in his hand, holding a large shield in front of him. His hands were stirring, his heart was cold, and he glanced not far ahead, where it was already a hell on earth. The horses and cavalry that fell from the middle iron thistle, the soldiers who were injured by the sputtering of the shells, and the 'big torch' that was nodded by the ghost fire and could only scream in despair if it was not extinguished. In the blink of an eye, the hundred-man team that rushed to the front was almost gone.

Before he could get closer to a hundred paces, and still within range of his bow and arrows, his forward warriors fell by hundreds, and a thousand-man squad had almost been scattered. I heard that the Qin people's artillery was powerful, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful. When he was in Yunzhou City, he thought that it was already the most powerful artillery. But now that I think about it, this place is definitely more powerful than the artillery in Yunzhou City. At least, under the city of Yunzhou, the Qin people rarely used this kind of fire. He had always thought that the Qin people's artillery was powerful, but it would not be too much, and if he was hit, it could only be bad luck. But now it seems that the Qin people have a lot of cannons, and the gunpowder is more sufficient.

There was another cannon fire on the opposite side, and puffs of white smoke rose over the trench artillery array in front of the camp fence, and his heart trembled violently, and dozens of shells came with a whistling of smoke and fire, and a cloud of dirt and smoke was set up not far in front of him.

This time, the shells were not oil bombs, but just ordinary bursting shells, and the fragments and the broken nails and iron contained in them exploded like scattered flowers, and the guys who were lucky enough not to be hit in the first two rounds were hung up one after another.

Barra's heart twitched, these are all warriors of the tribe. Although he didn't die much this time, the bleeding wounds on everyone's body made him understand that these soldiers didn't die for a while, but they were not much better. With such a serious injury, bleeding can lead to death, even if it can retreat, there is a lack of medical treatment, especially in the hot weather of this month, the wound is more and more easy to fester, how many can survive?

Zhao Zhang watched with satisfaction as they stopped the momentum of the Hu people's charge with only a few rounds of artillery bombardment, and the killing effect was good. Wiping the sweat from his face, he looked up at the sun in the sky, hoping that it would get darker and darker, and when it was dark, they wouldn't be so relaxed.

The smoke from the position was blown away by the wind, and the gunners were quickly clearing the catapults and continuing to reload. In front of each catapult and ballista gun carriage was an observer who was responsible for observing and giving orders. In addition, there are different numbers of loaders and bombers.

The artillery bombardment of the Qin army stopped, Bala looked carefully, and the position on the opposite side was quiet.

"Rush!" Seeing that the Qin army stopped, Bara immediately shouted orders. Maybe it takes time for the Qin army's artillery to be reloaded, maybe the Qin army doesn't have enough gunpowder to continue firing, but no matter what, the current suspension of the Qin army's artillery is an opportunity to rush over and approach. He had already seen that the Qin army did have a lot of artillery, but it seemed that there were not many soldiers and horses guarding the artillery array. If they could rush through this distance, they would have a chance to destroy the artillery of the Qin army.

However, the only trouble was the thistles that had just been thrown by the Qin army in front of the battle, which was a simple but very effective defense against cavalry charges. If he had charged directly, many cavalry would have fallen under this little thing.

There was no other way but to get off the horse and clear a way. Although this method is too simple, there is no way to do it.

A small troop of 1,000 men was sent up, and they spread out with their shields, carefully searching the ground for thistles, and packing them into bags.

"Dutou, the dogs are coming up, they are sweeping the thistles, preparing to charge!" The third one shouted.

Zhao Zhang held the observation scope and watched carefully, and snorted coldly, "Fu Yuan's crossbow is ready, aim and block, and kill these dogs." (To be continued......)
