The fierce fire under Lingzhou City once made Wuyan Puluhun temporarily frightened, but this short-term fear could not change Wuyan Puluhun's contempt for the Song army in his bones. His 6,000 kidnapping horses and 10,000 Jurchen cavalry were enough to sweep them away.
How can a mere 50,000 Song troops in the world be able to resist?
He waved his mace and shouted wildly, "Speed up and overwhelm the enemy's formation!"
The Kaizi Horse is a tank of the Song Dynasty. It is a group of three horses, wearing heavy armor and running wildly. A Jurchen cavalry is riding on the horse in the middle, waving a spear with one hand and controlling the direction of the Kaaizi Horse with the other hand.
Two thousand groups of crippled horses looked like a mountain collapsing before their eyes, and like a destructive mudslide rushing in unstoppably. They roared, neighed, and beat the ground with their hoofs as they rushed towards the Song army's formation.
Thousands of Song soldiers in the north were half-kneeling on the ground, trembling all over, holding their shields tightly in one hand and their spear shafts in the other. The tail ends of their spears were deeply embedded in the soil.
Although they had rehearsed it dozens of times, they were almost suffocated when the violent and ferocious kidnapper horses rushed towards them. Everyone closed their eyes in fear, not daring to face the earth-shattering scene again. Jing Jing
Waiting for death to come.
But in the middle of the Song army's formation, thousands of heavy-duty divine arm crossbows were aimed at the cavalry on Guaizi's horse. Each cold arrow missed like a poisonous snake spitting out a red message. There was no unified command, and the crossbowmen fired at their own discretion.
Having entered a hundred steps, 'Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!' A powerful crossbow arrow was shot out. An ordinary divine arm crossbow could penetrate the armor of the Jurchen cavalry, but it could not penetrate the heavy armored cavalry of the Kaizi Horse. Only bed crossbows and heavy divine arm crossbows could penetrate the armor of the Jurchen cavalry.
The arm crossbow can shoot through heavy armor. Hidden in the formation is this heavy-duty divine arm crossbow. It requires two people to lie down and pedal at the same time before it is cocked.
The heavy armored cavalry were shot through their bodies one after another and fell from their horses to the ground. The crippled horses were also struck by arrows and fell down. The heavy divine arm crossbow arrows could also penetrate the heavy armor of the war horses, and the heavy armored war horses kept falling down.
But the kidnapping horse behind was not affected and continued to run wildly towards the Song Army's formation. Fifty steps later, the Song Army in the third row suddenly threw out hundreds of small powder barrels.
Weighing only three kilograms, it can be thrown dozens of steps and explode right in front of a war horse.
"Boom! Boom!" The gunpowder barrels exploded with a deafening sound, and the flames soared into the sky. The poisonous iron nails inside flew in all directions. The Song soldiers in the front row raised their shields high to block the poisonous nails.
The sudden explosion frightened the war horse. It raised its hooves and neighed loudly. Then it was violently pulled by the horses on both sides and fell heavily to the ground, taking the other two horses with it.
This is the biggest flaw of the Guaizi Horse. Three horses are tied together. As long as one horse falls, the other two horses will inevitably fall with it. In history, Yue Fei's army took advantage of this and used a hook gun to defeat the Jin soldiers.
Kidnap horse.
But as long as you understand this loophole, you don't necessarily have to hook the gun. There are many ways, such as exploding firearms, shooting horse legs with a divine arm crossbow, and even simple fishing nets can make the horse fall down. The key is to have a strong psychological quality of the soldiers.
, fully trained and not intimidated by the Jin soldiers’ horses.
Gunpowder barrels were thrown one after another. Many gunpowder barrels exploded under the horse's belly. The dense poison nails were all over the horse's legs. The impact broke the leg bones. The kidnapping horse in front fell down continuously, and blocked the kidnapping horse behind.
, it was difficult for the three connected heavily armored horses to coordinate and jump over the obstacles at the same time, and they could only fall down. Dozens of steps away from the Song army's formation, the fallen horses had piled up into a mountain.
The heavy divine arm crossbows were still firing continuously, and the cavalrymen on the kidnappers were hit by arrows and fell off their horses. During the gallop, the horses also fell to the ground, and half of the kidnappers' horses had been cracked.
At this time, a group of kidnap horses rushed into the third formation in the northeast of the Song Army. There was a loud bang, and more than a dozen Song soldiers screamed and were knocked flying. Three kidnap horses were also hit by more than a dozen long sticks at the same time.
The spear pierced the body and he died tragically on the spot. Dozens of soldiers struggled to push the horse's body out, quickly took up their positions, and returned to normal.
Although the Song Army's long-range defense weapons are very sharp, they are not a solid wall after all. There are still kidnapping horses that slip through the net and rush into the Song Army's formation. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of groups of kidnapping horses rush into the Song Army's formation.
It caused the casualties of thousands of Song Army soldiers.
However, the kidnapping horse that slipped through the net is no longer the mainstream on the battlefield. The fallen kidnapping horse is a scene that can be seen everywhere. The Song Army found a way to deal with the kidnapping horse, using heavy crossbows and firearms. The kidnapping horse has an obvious target and is easy to be shot.
, within two hundred steps, the heavy divine arm crossbow arrows are enough to penetrate its thick armor, and the firearms are the final blow to it.
Even if these two lines of defense fail to stop it, there are still thousands of sharp spears waiting for it. Even if it rushes into the Song army's formation, it will not last long and will be wiped out in one fell swoop.
Of course, although there are many ways to deal with the Kaizima, it is not so easy to implement them. Otherwise, the Song army would not be defeated thousands of miles in front of the Kaizima and Tiefu Tu. It must have the support of a strong army in order to calmly implement various methods to defeat the enemy.
Of the policy.
The Song army's effective defense caused more and more kidnapping horses to be shot over. In just one charge, most of the two thousand groups of kidnapping horses were lost, leaving only three hundred groups of kidnapping horses still holding on.
At this time, behind Guaizima, ten thousand cavalry came up to cover them up, and the loess they stirred up covered the sky and the sun. This was the backbone of the Jurchens' power to sweep the world.
They are not like the kidnapper horses who can only run rampant and injure the enemy by hitting the enemy. The Jurchen cavalry are very flexible, the horses can jump over obstacles, and the soldiers can avoid arrows. They have strong armor, skillful riding and shooting, and sharp spears. The cavalry can almost
Forming their own formation, each Jurchen cavalry is a powerful combat unit.
Tens of thousands of powerful combat units form an invincible army, so there has always been a saying that "over ten thousand golden soldiers are unstoppable".
But today, they encountered a powerful opponent, a nation that had risen from suffering, an army that was well-trained and had strong confidence in the face of the golden soldiers.
Wuyan Puluhun did not expect that the Kaizi Horse could not defeat the enemy army. In his plan, the Kaizi Horse ran rampant and smashed the Song Army's formation into pieces. However, the scene in front of him was shocking. The Song Army's formation was
It still stands tall, but his kidnapping horse is dead in pieces.
But Wuyan Puluhun could no longer retreat. Once the cavalry formation of ten thousand people was launched, it could not stop. At most, it would change direction while running, from hitting the enemy head-on to passing by.
Chen Qing stood on a chariot behind the northwest formation. Behind him was the command formation, consisting of 500 flag bearers, drummers, buglers and messengers. It was located in the center of the plum blossom formation and was responsible for implementing Chen Qing's plan.
Order and direct the entire army to fight.
Chen Qing could see it clearly and ordered: "The northwest formation, the due north formation and the northeast formation are ready for the divine arm crossbow, and the trebuchet is ready!"
"Woo" a high-pitched horn sounded.
This is to remind the commanders of each formation to pay attention to the fact that the coach has issued an order.
Then three flag bearers stood on the high platform waving the command flag. The flag bearer in red military uniforms was the flag bearer of the Zhengbei Formation. He waved the black triangular crossbow flag and the white trebuchet square flag. The flag bearer in yellow military uniforms was the Northeast Formation. The flag bearer in blue military uniforms was from the Northeast Formation.
The flag bearer was the northwest formation. They waved the crossbow flag and the trebuchet flag. At the same time, three messengers rushed to each formation to deliver the order, double-passing the order to ensure nothing went wrong.
There are five chariots in each formation. The trebuchets in the chariots have opened their throwing poles. Four five-pound gunpowder barrels are placed in each trebuchet. The medium-sized trebuchet used this time
The machine is slightly larger and can throw a weight of twenty kilograms a hundred steps away.
The three large formations can project sixty powder barrels at one time, and can explode tens of thousands of poisonous nails. These poisonous nails are mainly used to deal with war horses.
Not only the poison nails can deal with the war horses, but the six thousand divine arm crossbows can also deal with the war horses. This is the experience accumulated by Chen Qing's army and the Jin soldiers for many years of fierce battles. The Jin soldiers can duck under the horse's belly to avoid missing the crossbow, but their war horses can't.
Otherwise, once the war horses are useless, the Jurchen cavalry will also be useless.
The overwhelming Jurchen cavalry had already rushed within two hundred steps, and Chen Qing calmly gave the firing order, "Fire the divine arm crossbow!"
‘Bang! Bang! Bang!’ A crisp bang sound suddenly sounded.
Six thousand divine arm crossbows were fired at the same time, and the dense crossbows missed the enemy's galloping horses.
