Practitioners in this world can easily throw huge rocks.
You can climb the straight city wall with just a tap of your feet.
Can make the body as hard as steel.
Even a practitioner like Wenren Cangyue can use flying swords to kill warriors hundreds of steps away, and can blast away extremely heavy city gates.
The war in this world is completely different from the war in the cold weapon era that Lin Xi thought at first.
Precisely because of the existence of various powerful practitioners, the walls of this world's cities are exceptionally high and thick... However, even so, there are still almost no cities in this world that can be defended.
…
"There won't be any supporting troops from us coming from Dong Jingling."
In Jintezhen, Xie Ying said in a deep voice to Huang Tingchi, another general beside him, with an extremely ugly face.
Huang Tingchi looked at the densely packed heavy cavalry army in the distance and nodded heavily.
Jintie Town is an important Yunqin town on the north side of Dongjingling. It was originally just an ordinary town with several iron-making workshops. In the past few months, around the periphery of this market town, the Yunqin military
A city wall was built and it became one of the garrison fortresses.
Xie Ying and Huang Tingchi are the commander and deputy commander of the garrison here.
Half a day ago, a Yunqin army transporting heavy ordnance had arrived at the Jintie Town Fortress, but this large Mang heavy cavalry army immediately appeared in their sights.
The original garrison of Jintie Town was 2,300, and the Yunqin army that came to escort the ordnance had an establishment of 2,500. The total number of troops was close to 5,000, and the number of the Damang heavy cavalry was about 3,000.
, their side is absolutely dominant in terms of numbers, but the key point is that their five thousand sergeants are mainly ordinary infantry, light cavalry and archery troops. Pure heavy cavalry is completely the nemesis of an army structured like Yun Qin's.
.
If the Great Mang Heavy Cavalry takes the initiative to attack, they can still use the ordnance in the fortress to deal with this Great Mang Heavy Cavalry. However, at this moment, the Great Mang Heavy Cavalry is always out of the range of their ordnance, just watching them.
, noticed this convoy transporting ordnance.
Now half a day has passed, and the direction of Dong Jingling should have noticed that there is a problem with the delivery of this batch of ordnance. However, so far, not even the reconnaissance cavalry or even the carrier pigeon has been seen, which shows that the direction of Dong Jingling itself is already in a tight situation.
"If the situation is worse, maybe Dong Jing Ling has already started a war." Xie Ying gritted his teeth and said: "These Da Mang heavy cavalry can wait until the right time to leave and run to Dong Jing Ling. Their speed is always ahead of the convoy.
By then, they will have time to join the battle, or there may be no need to join the battle, but it is impossible for our convoys transporting troops to join Dong Jingling during the battle... We cannot wait any longer."
Huang Tingchi frowned and nodded, "We really can't wait any longer. The key is what are you going to do?"
Xie Ying said in a deep voice: "Unpack some of the ordnance and fight with this big Mang heavy cavalry."
Huang Ting glanced at Xie Yingchi: "It is a serious crime to order the use of sealed ordnance without permission."
"General Gu is not a pedantic person." Xie Ying sneered, "If you go out and fight hard, you still don't know whether you can survive. How can you care about these rules and regulations."
Huang Tingchi also laughed, with a certain kind of heart-stopping solemnity and iron-bloodedness in his smile: "That's right, even if this batch of ordnance is too late to be transported to Dongjingling in the end, it will be impossible for them to use up this large and heavy cavalry.
It is always meaningful to join the battle of Dongjingling. Should we attack with the whole army?"
"The whole army attacks." Xie Ying nodded heavily and sneered: "In addition to the unpacked ordnance that we can use, the convoy also followed, forcing this heavy cavalry to intercept us!"
…
"Can you finally bear it no longer?"
Among the Da Mang heavy cavalry, a middle-aged Da Mang general took off his helmet, touched his stubble-covered chin, and smiled coldly.
In sight, the Yunqin soldiers in the town quickly gathered with an unabashed attitude. The stone gate also slowly rose through the winch and opened amidst the shouts of dozens of Yunqin soldiers.
Access to the town and outside.
"Don't underestimate the enemy."
Next to him, a man wearing mail armor like him, but with an old face inside the helmet, reminded him lightly.
The middle-aged general of Da Mang calmed down his sneer, but his face became solemn: "One thousand seventeen infantry troops can still destroy nearly three thousand light cavalry... Facing the Yunqin army, who dares to underestimate the enemy?"
The old-looking man next to him lowered his eyelids, nodded, and said no more.
…
The sacred tree flying crane is still in the sky, flying towards Dongjingling Mausoleum.
Suddenly, the expression on Lin Xi's face became very solemn.
At this time, neither the Yunqin troops pouring out of Jintie Town nor the heavy cavalry of Damang could see that a sacred tree flying crane was flying in the sky in the distance. However, Lin Xi was flying high in the sky.
Among them, the field of vision is extremely wide, and his eyesight is far beyond ordinary people, so he has already discovered that there are at least thousands of black and heavy cavalry outside Jin Tie Town!
He also saw clearly that the Yunqin army was protecting a stream of vehicles and began to approach the large and powerful cavalry.
He could vaguely see the composition of this Yunqin army. Seeing that there was no reflection of a large number of heavy armors, he frowned deeply. He did not think that the Yunqin army with such strength could defeat this army.
Da Mang heavy cavalry.
"Teacher Li Wu, can you go faster?"
So even though he knew that continuously releasing soul power was an extremely boring, energy-consuming, and tiring thing, he still couldn't help but speak to Li Wu and said.
….
Xie Ying, who was covered in black armor, was slightly behind the more than ten Yunqin soldiers at the front of the entire Yunqin army. He stretched out his hand covertly, preparing to issue a military order.
As long as there is a distance of more than 20 meters, the array of Damang heavy cavalry will completely fall into the range of the moon-penetrating crossbow. Many of the crossbows, which have just been unpacked and are still exuding the unique smell of grease and metal, will
Immediately dealt a heavy blow to this powerful heavy cavalry.
However, at this moment, the ground suddenly shook, and a neat metallic roar sounded in front of them.
Da Mang was riding heavily.
The five hundred heavy horsemen who were originally lined up in a square array at the front quickly began to run wildly and dispersed.
At the same time, the sound of a metal bowstring vibrated.
Xie Ying's pupils suddenly contracted.
All the five hundred heavy horsemen drew their bows and fired arrows. Each arrow made a shrill sound, flew into the air, and fell down.
At this moment, Xie Ying, who had enough experience, could judge with absolute certainty that the range of these arrows was enough to fall into their formation!
"Royal!"
"put!"
At this moment, Xie Ying's hand clenched into a fist and swung downwards, and two completely different military orders spurted out from his mouth.
"when…"
The sound of the metal pin of the ballista coming off was heard.
At the same time, arrows with a cold aura and air currents fell into the formation, making various impact sounds, causing roars and dull shouts... and streaks of blood splattered out.
wave.
There was a more violent sound breaking through the air.
Immediately, there was the shrill neighing of war horses and the sound of heavy falls to the ground.
One after another, the powerful giant crossbow arrows directly penetrated the bodies of many knights and horses, knocking them to the ground and splashing up a cloud of grass clippings and soil.
However, in this very short period of time, the faces of Xie Ying, Huang Ting and many school officials have turned a little pale.
Those heavy riders who had shot an arrow did not continue to advance, but just circled on both sides, always keeping a certain distance from them, and all the remaining more than 400 heavy riders hung their bows on their horses' necks.
, the bow string points downward, then retracts both feet, and slams down on the bow string.
There are card slots on the bow body.
A thin metal round rod that was originally folded slid down from the slot on the side of the bow as the bow bent, and was supported on the bowstring.
This is an exquisite design.
When the feet of these Damang cavalry were separated from the bow strings that had been stretched to a certain extent, this thin metal rod directly supported the bow strings, keeping the bow strings from loosening.
This is no longer a bow... to the military's concept, this is a foot crossbow, a heavy foot crossbow!
However, the previous standard foot crossbows required the sergeant to lie half on the ground, use both feet to continuously open the bow string, and then fire half-lying. It was impossible to do the same as the current large foot crossbow, which can be used like a bow and arrow.
excitation.
The most important thing is that the range of this kind of crossbow is close to the range of these ballistas.
Although Yunqin now has hundreds of moon-piercing crossbows and hundreds of heavy-duty arm crossbows due to the unpacking of the ordnance transported to Dongjingling, under the suppression of so many heavy-duty foot crossbows from the opponent,
Their side has almost no big advantage in terms of ordnance!
At this moment, Xie Ying bit his teeth and drew blood, but he hesitated slightly.
If under this kind of hard fight, the Da Mang heavy cavalry cannot be defeated, and the ones who survive in the end are not a few Yunqin soldiers, but many Da Mang heavy cavalry, it will not only be these who are very important to Dong Jingling.
The problem was that important ordnance could not be sent to Dong Jingling at the critical moment, but the problem was that these ordnance would fall into the hands of Da Mang.
At this short moment, Yun Qin's formation suddenly let out a sharp exclamation.
Xie Ying's pupils contracted and dilated sharply.
A general from Yunqin's side had already left the camp and rushed towards the more than 400 riders.
The Yunqin general in black armor left behind him a trail of afterimages, and the turf and soil splashed out from under his feet were like pieces of waves, running faster than the fastest war horse.
This is obviously a practitioner.
And she's still a woman.
This is a Yunqin female general who looks extremely slim even though she wears black armor, and her back is extremely graceful.
At this moment, there is such a woman, risking her own life and rushing towards the enemy formation, which makes her look even more thrilling.
"who is she?"
Xie Ying was shocked and indescribably excited. He was a practitioner himself, so he could tell that this woman, who must be very young, was a practitioner with a higher level of cultivation than him...she had reached the rank of a national scholar.
"I don't know, I came with Mr. Liu Kun who was escorting the ordnance." Huang Ting also looked at the woman in shock. He only knew that the woman was one of the generals escorting the ordnance convoy, but he didn't know more.
