Although the young minister has promised not to use soul-eating smoke, the generals of the Silk Kingdom are still very cautious when commanding the spirit beast cavalry in battle, and almost always choose to attack in a direction downwind. Today's wind is blowing from the hills.
, the spirit beast cavalry charges along with the wind. Each warrior is an elite armored man. The halberd in his hand can not only stab directly, but also has a horizontal blade behind the tip that can slash, block, and draw.
One hundred and forty-eight spirit beast cavalry, their mounts are all fierce and terrifying Benzi beasts. Benzi is a rare and exotic beast that looks like a leopard and is about the size of an adult black bear. Its teeth are sharp and fangs.
It can tear a cow into pieces. When it runs, it retracts its curved claws into its meat pads, quickly and smoothly.
The adult running beast has rough skin and thick flesh. Even if it is shot by an arrow, its muscles, bones and organs will not be injured and it can continue to charge. With its speed, it only takes a blink of an eye to run across the range of the arrow, and soldiers often only
He had time to shoot one arrow, but before the second arrow could be fired, the running beast rushed in front of him, and it was difficult to aim the first arrow accurately.
This kind of exotic beast is very rare and difficult to catch, and even more difficult to tame. The monks of the Mountain of Beasts used their special skills to catch the young beasts, raise them from childhood, and then mate and breed them for several generations before training these adult beasts that can go on the battlefield.
The beast cavalry helped the Belushi Kingdom build three military formations.
The ground was trembling slightly, and one hundred and forty-eight running beasts actually ran out with a momentum like a tide, and let out a terrifying low roar in unison. Those who are not brave enough, let alone fight with them, will face this kind of beasts.
The situation was such that even the weapons could not be held securely. However, General Hanxiong's flag stood firmly and fluttered in the wind, and the ten armies under his command did not move at all, always maintaining their battle formation.
The spirit beast cavalry rushed up the hillside. When they were close to the opponent's bow and arrow range, they suddenly split into two routes, allowing the chariots passing in front to outflank them from the flanks. No matter how fast the formation of the army changed, it could not be faster than the running beasts. In the past,
In the battle of formations, Bashi Kingdom's military formations always suffered such losses. Even if they wanted to win with more people, they would not be able to encircle and annihilate these spirit beast cavalry in the end.
Just at this moment, Hanxiong's general's flag waved, and countless huge strange birds suddenly flew out from the top of the hill behind the military formation, their wings spread in the wind and covering the sky. Looking carefully, they were not actually big birds.
They are people from the Feather Tribe in the wild wilderness of the Monster Tribe!
A total of one hundred and fifty-three Yu tribe warriors, not too many in number, but they rushed into the sky at the same time, appearing densely packed and powerful. Each of them held a pair of strung crossbow arrows in their hands, and the front end of the arrow shaft was pointed with Qin.
The linen wrapped with kerosene was now on fire, drawing smoke trails in the air.
The movements of these Yu tribe warriors were extremely skillful, as if they had been practicing for many days. They fluttered their wings in the wind and quickly rose into the air. They divided into two groups to meet the spirit beast cavalry. The spirit beast cavalry charged in a dense formation, and the Yu tribe warriors almost
Without any need to aim, rockets filled with thick smoke were shot out from mid-air.
Some of the arrows hit the warrior who was driving the beast, some arrows hit the body of the beast, and some arrows were stuck on the ground and burned. Then the Yu tribe warrior made another stunning move, putting his hand
The powerful crossbow was like a brick or stone. It smashed hard into the team of spirit beast cavalry and turned into balls of fire in mid-air.
Hanxiong stood in the formation, watching the Yu nationality warriors suddenly burst out from the sky on both sides. His cheeks twitched. He knew very well how valuable the crossbows held by those warriors were, and they were all destroyed after just one arrow on the battlefield.
Got it!
This is a tactic formulated by the Shaowu himself. What is needed is this arrow, and they have been simulated and rehearsed for several years. The arrows fired by these crossbows are very powerful. Yu nationality warriors cannot wind them while flying in the air. They need to be prepared on the ground in advance.
string, then fly up into the air with it, shoot an arrow and it will be useless.
The crossbow arrows that allow the people of the Yu tribe to fly into the sky must be extremely light. But the arrows must be able to penetrate the skin and flesh of running beasts, and the crossbow itself must be very powerful. Ordinary craftsmen cannot make it at all. Shao Wu
We recruited co-workers from various city walls across the country and experimented with various materials. In the end, more than 300 crossbows were built, but half of them were destroyed in this wave of attacks.
During the battle, it was impossible for the Yu tribe warriors flying in the air to shoot a second crossbow arrow, and it was already a burden to continue holding the crossbow in their hands. According to the request of the young minister, when they faced the spirit beast cavalry this time, any attack after taking off would
No movement should be redundant. Since the crossbow is to be thrown away, the crossbow should be smeared with kerosene beforehand, lit and then smashed into the formation of the spirit beast cavalry.
The cost of just building these one hundred and fifty-three pairs of special crossbows is equivalent to building a small city outline in an open space. When these fireballs with thick smoke are smashed down, it is equivalent to destroying a city outline in the blink of an eye.
Ah, that is to say, Israel's current strong national power can afford such a big deal.
The hardwood used to make these crossbows has a disadvantage in that it is easily ignited and will explode when burned. Now this shortcoming has become an advantage, and Shaowu took advantage of it on the battlefield.
After training, the galloping beasts have been able to overcome many of their instinctive weaknesses just like war horses. They will not be afraid of bonfires in the camp, nor will they be disturbed by fireworks on the battlefield. However, they suddenly encountered a hail of arrows and were shot.
Then countless fireballs with thick smoke came down, and the fire exploded in all directions. The beast roared and ran wildly, and immediately lost control.
Although the crossbow arrows are powerful, one arrow cannot shoot down a running beast, especially if it hits a non-vital part, it is even more difficult to severely damage it. But these arrow clusters are poisoned, specially made by the Yu tribe people when they hunt.
It is extremely poisonous. The toxicity can make the running beast become violent. The more it runs and struggles, the faster it will attack. Even if the poison does not kill it on the spot, it can make it lose control.
The riders who control the galloping beasts all wear breastplates on the front, but this breastplate cannot block the fired crossbow arrows, and the attacks of the Yu tribe warriors come from the sky.
After the Yu Nation warriors took off, they only made two moves. First, they fired a round of volleys, and then they lit the crossbows in their hands and smashed them to the ground. Nearly half of the two spirit beast cavalry were destroyed. The galloping beasts howled and scattered in panic.
Fleeing, the battlefield was filled with thick smoke and splashing fire, but there was no enemy. The surviving riders tried their best to control the sitting beast, but they couldn't restrain it at all.
The formation of the spirit beast cavalry collapsed, and they clashed and trampled each other in the fireworks. Many warriors fell off their mounts and were trampled to death and injured. Most of the running beasts instinctively avoided the hillside with the densest fireworks and ran in other directions.
By then, their vision had been blurred by the thick smoke, and the poisonous beasts that had been hit by arrows began to take effect, becoming more and more manic.
Only a few galloping beasts rushed up the hillside and crashed into the flanks of Bashi's formation. Hanxiong had already expected this result. On both sides of the formation were uniform soldiers with spears and shields, and their long shields were lined up to form a wall.
, the sharp spear thrust out from the gap in the shield wall, facing the out-of-control running beast.
Several frantic running beasts crashed into the battle formation, causing casualties, but were immediately stabbed into hedgehogs by spears. More running beasts ran elsewhere, throwing off the riders on their backs.
.
The Yu Nation warriors in the air also dispersed their formation and chased in all directions. They pulled out the short bows hanging from their waists, attached short arrows and shot them. These short bows and short arrows were also specially made, as the Yu Nation warriors
The spare weapons should be light and the arrows fired should be as powerful as possible.
The Yu tribe in Huwa's hometown had used similar bows and arrows, and Huwa even took away the best pair of them. Later, Huwa gave that bow and arrow to Dajun, and Shaowu had seen it with his own eyes.
Shao Wu imitated that pair of bows and arrows, and recruited Gonggong to make another batch of similar bows, which were used on the battlefield today.
These short bows were not as powerful as crossbows, but the arrow clusters were also filled with poison, and they were fired one after another when Feitian was chasing them, attacking not only the running beasts, but also the riders who had landed on the ground.
The requirements for cultivating spirit beast cavalry are very strict. The relationship between warriors and galloping beasts is not only the relationship between rider and mount, but also a kind of partner. Not just any person can control the spirit beast. Training a qualified
It also takes a long time to build the spirit beast cavalry. If these riders are shot and killed, it will be difficult for the Silk Country to replenish them in a short period of time. As for the trained beasts, if one is shot, one will be lost.
The galloping beasts rushed around, and the soldiers who were thrown off their mounts and were still alive ran towards their own military formation. Arrows rained down from the sky, constantly hitting or knocking them down.
The changes on the battlefield happened so fast that the generals leading the troops of the Bashi Kingdom could not react. The soldiers of the Bashi Kingdom who were still in formation were stunned. They couldn't figure out when the Bashi Kingdom would be ready.
They had such a surprise force? And the other side actually waited until today before sending them into the battlefield!
No one on the battlefield would answer this kind of question. Many frightened beasts with arrows stuck in their bodies rushed towards the military formation of the Silo Kingdom, with no riders on their backs to control them.
The soldiers of the Silo Kingdom were not prepared to face the impact of the Benzi Beast at all. They never dreamed that the Benzi Beast would rush towards them. The forward of the military formation was knocked over, and the combat formation was instantly destroyed.
There was chaos. At this moment, Hanxiong's flag waved forward, and the Bashi Kingdom's chariots rushed down the hillside, followed by ten military formations who came shouting to kill.
A whistle sounded in the air. The Yu tribe soldiers had fired their arrows and quit the battle. They flapped their wings and glided to the hillside behind the army. There was no need for the Yu tribe people to continue fighting. They had successfully completed their mission.
The rear of the battle formation was reorganized, and no one was damaged.
The Bashi Kingdom's chariot ran over the horsemen who were still running and entered the collapsed Silk Army formation. For the soldiers of the Silk Kingdom, what really collapsed was not the battle formation, but their morale and morale. Led by Hanxiong
The ten military formations are the best among the elites of the Bashi Kingdom. Without the spirit beast cavalry, it is not easy to annihilate the opponent in frontal combat.
In this battle, the ten military formations and spirit beast cavalry of the Silk Kingdom were completely wiped out, and most of the soldiers became prisoners of war. In the end, when the battlefield was cleared, only more than 20 running beasts escaped. These running beasts
Some may not have been hit by arrows, or they may not be seriously injured after being hit by arrows. With their speed, even war horses cannot catch up, and Hanxiong did not let the Yu tribe soldiers continue to pursue. (To be continued.)
