Chapter 125 Battle King Manduzhong
Although Li Keyong's cavalry and Shi Pu's Xuzhou Army were powerful, they did not have an advantage in numbers after all. Even Huang Chao's men who had not yet crossed the river were twice as many as them. That was two against one, not to mention
There are also Huang Kui, Huang Siye, Lin Yan, Wang Bo and other powerful players, and Huang Chao himself is even more of a master among masters.
Huang Kui and Huang Siye each led their troops to participate in the battle. Huang Chao just stood at the height of the camp and watched the battlefield. Huang Chao was very emotional. On such a large battlefield, his 100,000 troops were torn apart by more than 20,000 people. This is
This made Huang Chao very depressed.
He has indeed fought a lot of useless battles this year. Although he has not been on the battlefield for a long time due to his identity, it does not mean that he cannot go on the battlefield. Huang Chao ordered his soldiers: "Bring me my big gun!"
To put it bluntly, Huang Chao's big gun is not a gun at all. To be more precise, it should be a spear. Authentic big guns are made of white wax rods, which are hard but soft. However, Huang Chao's gun is made of fine steel, which is as thick as a tea cup and weighs forty
Five pounds is a serious weapon.
In the past, the big guns used by Huang Chao were also made of white wax rods. Now this steel gun was made in Chang'an. Shang Rang originally wanted to make a gold gun for Huang Chao, but gold is relatively soft and not suitable at all.
Descriptions of making weapons, such as golden guns, etc. can only appear in ancient novels or storytelling written by boring intellectuals who don’t understand ordnance knowledge. Weapons that are actually used on the battlefield cannot be made of gold. Weapons made of gold can only be made of gold.
It is used as a decoration and has no practical value at all.
In a short while, two soldiers came to carry Huang Chao's big gun. In fact, although the weight of forty-five kilograms was heavy, it could be carried by one person. The soldiers just wanted to show their respect for Huang Chao's weapons, and even more
In order to show Huang Chao's martial arts, the two of them pretended to be struggling to carry it.
Huang Chao saw the two men carrying big guns, shook his head with a wry smile, raised the steel gun with one hand, and performed a gun dance, and all the soldiers applauded in unison. Huang Chao saw several young generals in the distance followed by one
The ugly one-eyed man was charging back and forth in his own formation with extraordinary bravery. Huang Chao sneered and said: "Shatuo Li Keyong! He is indeed a tiger general. Brothers, follow me to capture Li Keyong!"
As Huang Chao spoke, he was about to mount his horse. Several civil servants around him hurriedly tried to persuade him, saying: "Your Majesty, how can you, with your wealth of gold, risk your life so easily? In order to unite the world, I hope that Your Majesty will not risk your life so easily."
At this time, Cao Shihong was also wearing a military uniform. After all, she, the queen, was also a famous heroine in the world. Although she had not been in the world for a few years, she had not lost her kung fu. At this time, she was also a little bit ready to go out and fight.
. But she also knew that her identity was now the Queen of Daqi, so she struggled to hold back and said nothing. She finally heard that Huang Chao was going to take action personally, but was stopped by this group of civil servants, and she felt very anxious.
Huang Ying, who had been silent at this time, said: "My father is the emperor of Daqi. He really can't take risks easily. Let his daughter do it for him!" Huang Ying has been miserable in the past year. Zhu Wen left her, and her son was given to Yamaguchi Meizi.
Taken away, all these things made her not want to face real life, so she could only devote all her energy to practicing. At this time, Huang Ying's Hunyuan Wuji Mental Technique had broken through to the sixth level, which is
In terms of internal strength and martial arts alone, he is no longer inferior to Lin Yan, and even compared with Huang Kui and Huang Siye, it is not much different.
So Huang Chao listened to Huang Ying's words, nodded and said: "Ying'er, you can go and practice for a while, but don't show off. After all, there is nothing like fighting among thousands of troops, and there is no such thing as fighting alone.
In a crowd of thousands of horses, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, it won't make much difference."
Huang Ying nodded and said: "My daughter knows that this is not the first day of the war. You, the old man, just wait for the good news." After saying that, he got on the horse and touched his waist with his hand. He found a shiny hand about one foot long.
The five-length steel whip was already in his hand, and he rushed towards Li Keyong under the protection of a group of Huang Chao's crane-controlling troops.
At this time, the two sides have reached a stalemate. Li Keyong's cavalry has lost its original advantage. The strength of the cavalry lies in its high-speed charge. The advantage that the cavalry can exert when the two armies first come into contact is
The most obvious thing is that once there is a stalemate, the advantage that the cavalry can exert is very small, and Li Keyong's cavalry often turn over and fall off their horses.
The neighing sounds of war horses came in waves. It turned out that Huang Chao's swordsmen and shieldmen were specialized in chopping off horse legs. A large number of war horses gathered there. Without the speed advantage, they could not pose a big threat to the infantry. After the war horses had their legs chopped off, they immediately
The knight fell off his horse naturally and was cut into pieces by Huang Chao's peasant army.
Huang Ying rode a maroon war horse straight towards Li Keyong. The steel whip in her hand flew around the battlefield like a snake. Because her weapon was very long and highly flexible, there were also other weapons beside her.
Many masters of the Crane Control Army serve as guards, and the enemy cannot get in at all, so her long whip is simply more powerful than a poisonous snake. Many Shatuo cavalry have never seen such a weapon. They have no idea that such a long whip can also
When it comes to making weapons, in their minds, whips are only used to drive horses, and of course cannot be used in battles.
But these bumpkin from the north finally saw the power of the whip today. Many of them fell off their horses before they could figure out the situation. When they found out that a female general had arrived, they had already fallen off their horses and were swarmed by their own troops from behind.
The cavalry was trampled under their feet, and the screams were extremely loud. But in this chaotic situation, who would care whether the person trampled by his horse was an enemy or one of his own?
Most people are just mechanically slashing and killing, because they all understand this truth. On the battlefield, if you don't kill the enemy, you will be killed by the enemy. This is an iron rule that no one can change. As long as you go to the battlefield
You cannot have the kindness of a woman, otherwise you will die without a burial place.
The Huangchao troops on the other side of the river saw an enemy attack behind them, and many generals were preparing to cross the river back. There was a moment of commotion, and many of the newly recruited recruits were trying to escape.
At this moment, Zhu Wen gave an order, and the catapults that had been prepared launched an attack, throwing iron balls filled with explosives into the camp of the peasant army. Several loud bangs exploded in the peasant army, and a large number of
The peasant army was blown to pieces, and their broken limbs and human entrails were flying everywhere.
This round of explosions only killed two or three hundred people, but injured five or six hundred people. In fact, this was just a drop in the bucket for the 50,000 people who had already crossed the Bian River, but it caused them psychological harm.
The blow was huge. This kind of weapon of mass destruction made them very scared psychologically. People who had planned to escape ran around in a swarm, causing people who had no intention of running away to follow suit.
He was running away, and the officers couldn't restrain him.
This battle was really a wasteful one. Not to mention the defeated Shang Rang, even Ge Congzhou and others were a little confused. Where had they seen such a battle? This was not a battle. This was simply a thunderbolt.
It's amazing! So many people were killed and injured with just such a bang. Even the big rocks thrown by the catapult can only kill and injure a dozen people at most, but this guy can kill five people at once.
Sixty of them, and countless others were injured.
Although there are many generals in Huang Chao's army, the war in their hearts is not fought like this. Although the people under his command are not elite soldiers, they still have an absolute advantage in numbers, but Zhu Wen's weapons and equipment make them very depressed. Also, in
In this cold weapon age, the power of explosives is irresistible to anything, and the huge explosion sound and the huge power of the explosion have exceeded their ability to understand.
People in ancient times were always in awe of things beyond their ability to understand, especially those powerful and mysterious things, such as lightning, earthquakes, typhoons, tsunamis, etc. But now they are in awe of Zhu Wen's large-scale
They are also very afraid of anti-personnel weapons. It is precisely because they do not understand explosives that they are even more afraid.
Not only the soldiers were afraid, but even the officers were extremely frightened. But fear is not a solution when fighting. The battle still has to be fought. So Shang Rang first led the men and horses to launch a charge, and the black crowd rushed towards Zhu Wen.
Another round of bombardment exploded among Shang Rang's men and horses. A large number of cavalry fell off their horses. The war horses exploded in the camp with a huge explosion and ran around. Although there were not many cavalry in Huang Chao's army, there were only two or three thousand.
The scurrying of the troops and cavalry made our own troops very embarrassed. Many people were not injured by Zhu Wen's bombs, but were trampled all over by our own horses. Some of the unlucky ones were trampled to death directly.
Ge Congzhou led Zhang Guiba and others and more than 10,000 brothers to support Shang Rang. Shang Rang's vanguard battalion was about to come into contact with Zhu Wen's troops. Although Zhu Wen's bombs were very powerful, such large bombs were not
More, the few rounds of large-area strikes just now have almost been used. In addition, this kind of thing must be launched by a catapult. The artillery shells also put gunpowder into a large empty iron ball, leaving a fuse outside.
Light it up and then launch it, so that some bombs will explode in the air before they fall into the enemy camp.
It's no wonder that the principle of that homemade bomb is very simple, and the ignition time of the fuse at that time was not very fixed, which caused some unnecessary waste and made the few heavy bombs go to waste.
The money wasted.
Zhu Wen thought that when he goes back, he will let Wu Biao try to make some more advanced bombs. This kind of thing is really not very easy to use. Last time he asked this boy to make firecrackers, I don’t know how he did it. This time he returned to Daliang because
