The next moment, tens of thousands of crossbows flew over the head of the black WISCO cart and flew towards the Huns cavalry!

The arrows of the rhubarb crossbow, no matter the speed or strength, far exceeded the imagination of these Hun cavalrymen. They habitually wanted to block with the weapons in their hands, but found that it was futile.The flying arrows were so powerful that they pierced through their armor almost instantly.

This is the power of armor-piercing arrows, the armor of the Huns cavalry can't resist it at all!

According to the previous tactic of firing bows and arrows in turn, it will be some time before the next wave of arrows rains. The Huns cavalry breathed a sigh of relief, and are about to speed up their charge and enter the archers camp, clearing away these annoying archers, a horrible thing It happened.

The second wave of arrows, almost no distance from the first wave, struck again, followed by the third wave, the fourth wave... endless!

The astonishing rate of fire of the rhubarb crossbow was displayed. The Hun cavalry were exhausted and caught off guard. Wave after wave of arrows caused the cavalry to fall in pieces. Every inch the cavalry advanced, they had to pay a heavy price. It's like stepping on a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire!

"Quick, quick! Go over these chariots and go to the back!" Kunxie yelled frantically, urging the horses with all his strength. There was no turning back for the cavalry to charge. Only by breaking through the obstacles in front could they have a chance of survival.

But at this time, the WISCO battle formation that Kunxie despised gave him a blow.He was horrified to find that these WISCO vehicles were moving in a strict order. The front row of chariots and the rear row of chariots formed a tight square formation. Tragically waiting in the cracks of the car to be killed by the rhubarb crossbow at the rear, or stabbed to death by the steel gun on the car!

Wugang cars can also have formations, which of course come from the hands of the formation master Jiang Ziya.He used the law of the evolution of the Eight Diagrams to create an Eight Diagrams formation suitable for chariots. The characteristic is that the trains cooperate with each other, which can delay the enemy's attack to the greatest extent.

Ever since, relying on the mysterious formation and super defensive power, only 1000 WISCO vehicles abruptly blocked the 20 Hun cavalry, making them rush left and right without getting out!But the rhubarb crossbow was exported to the rear, and the killed Xiongnu cavalry cried for their fathers and mothers, and their blood flowed like rivers.

Even if he was as proud as Kunxie, he knew that he couldn't go on like this. Even if he rushed past the chariot phalanx in the end, the remaining dying Hun cavalry could no longer pose a threat to the Wei army.This is only the first battle between the two sides. If the 20 main cavalry are buried, he will be a sinner of the Huns.

Kunxie gave the order to retreat with resentment, and the Huns turned around and ran away as if they had been pardoned, like a bereaved dog. In the process of their retreat, of course, they also suffered countless arrows.

In this first battle, Wei Jun won a brilliant victory by relying on the cooperation of the rhubarb crossbow and the WISCO cart.The corpses of the Huns were strewn all over the battlefield, and the thick blood almost dyed the earth red.

In this battle, the Huns lost 4 elite knights!This is 4 people. For Wei, 4 may not be a very large number, but considering the population of the Huns, it is not easy to train 4 elite knights!

As a result, the reputation of the rhubarb crossbow resounded over the Xiongnu prairie.

Chapter 359

The cooperation of WISCO vehicles and rhubarb crossbows formed a great deterrent to the Huns. The Wei army marched forward triumphantly all the way, and the Huns retreated steadily.Soon the Wei army captured Borja and forced the Huns back to the Hailar River.

If the Huns did not fight back, but crossed the Hailar River and continued to retreat, then the Huns who lost this line of defense would have no danger to defend, exposing the vast hinterland of the Huns to the eyes of the Wei army, and putting themselves in an extremely disadvantageous situation.

Therefore, after retreating to the edge of the Hailar River, Uwe Shanyu finally made up his mind to fight the Wei army to the death!

Seeing the Xiongnu posing for a decisive battle, the high-moralized Wei army would certainly not be afraid. At dawn this day, they continued to use WISCO carts + rhubarb crossbows as the central square, and the rest of the cavalry covered the two wings and killed the Huns.

The morning sun shone on the proud faces of the young Wei soldiers, shining with their brave spirit of sacrificing their lives for the country and seeing death as home.

At the beginning, the battle went smoothly as usual. Under the cover of WISCO vehicles, the rhubarb crossbow continued to kill and wound the cavalry of the Huns, causing them to complain endlessly.

But soon, an astonishing change occurred on the battlefield.

Suddenly, a group of knights with thick iron armor appeared in the Xiongnu army. What is even more peculiar is that their horses were tied together with ropes, and the three horses were linked together, which seemed a bit intrusive.

"This is?" After Yan Hao saw this group of cavalry among the thousands of troops, a bad thought flashed through his mind. This kind of cavalry reminded him of a terrifying unit in history—the Jurchens' iron soldiers. Buddha!

According to legend, the Iron Buddha of the Jurchen connected the war horses with ropes in this way to form an invincible armored cavalry!The impact of heavy cavalry is already strong, and the three-horse chain has brought the impact of heavy cavalry to the extreme.Therefore, no matter what army encounters the Iron Buddha, there is nothing they can do about it.

Although Yan Hao had doubts in his heart, he still had a fluke mentality.How could the Jurchens and the Huns appear together?This is too ridiculous!Maybe I think too much.

But it turned out that Yan Hao's prediction was not bad at all.Facing this group of serial armored cavalry, Jiang Ziya repeated his old trick, trying to use the gossip formation to run the WISCO phalanx to cover the infantry and archers behind.

Uwe Shanyu in the rear sneered when he saw this: "Naive Wei people, do you think your chariot is really invincible?"

Seeing the stacks of steel chariots in front of them, the group of serial armored cavalry slammed into the phalanx of WISCO chariots without any fear, retreat, or even a little hesitation!

"Boom!" There was the sound of steel colliding on the battlefield, and the huge impact force of the cavalry hit the front row of WISCO vehicles swaying, but they did not fall down after all, and still held on to their positions, blocking the enemy's advance.

Jiang Ziya was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this, but saw that although the armored cavalry did not break through the obstruction of the WISCO vehicle once, they bravely continued to carry out the second round of attack!

The powerful armor-piercing arrows of the rhubarb crossbow in the back were invincible, but this time they finally met their opponents.The output of the rhubarb crossbow in the rear fell on the charging cavalry like a drumbeat, causing them to fall one by one, but the armor of these armored cavalry was too thick, and even armor-piercing arrows could not easily penetrate it.Therefore, the lethality of the rhubarb crossbow against them is far lower than that against ordinary Hun cavalry.

This is the real heavy cavalry, at the cost of sacrificing mobility and flexibility, in exchange for supreme impact and defense!In fact, this was the first time that the Wei army faced real heavy cavalry. In the past, there were many excellent knights among their opponents, but neither the Rouran nor the Huns had trained pure heavy cavalry.

Even Jiang Ziya, the master tactician, was a little confused when he faced the impact of powerful heavy cavalry for the first time, and couldn't react quickly.While he was hesitating, these armored cavalry continued to tear apart the defense of the WISCO.

Not only do they have thick armor, but what is even more frightening is that they are as strong as cattle, and they are not afraid of death at all!No matter how many comrades around were shot and killed by the rhubarb crossbow, their charging momentum did not slow down in the slightest, and their will to fight did not diminish in the slightest.

Relying on the defense of heavy armor on their bodies, they resisted the long spears and short spears of WISCO vehicles, stared at the boundless rain of arrows, forcibly destroyed the axles and wheels of WISCO vehicles, and turned these steel monsters into pieces of steel waste one by one.

The number of WISCO vehicles is small, only a thousand, which is not enough compared to the hundreds of thousands of local cavalry.Even though they are huge and heavy, and can block the charge of ordinary cavalry, it is extremely difficult for them to face the established heavy cavalry.

With the passage of time, the defense line of WISCO vehicles gradually collapsed under the desperate impact of the heavy cavalry, exposing the infantry and archers behind to the enemy's iron hooves!

Chapter 360 The Jurchens

"Iron Buddha, it's really Iron Buddha!" ​​Seeing the critical situation, Yan Hao muttered to himself.

"Your Majesty, what is Iron Buddha?" Li Cunxu asked beside him.

Yan Hao then explained to the generals the history and tactics of the Jurchen's ace troop, the Tiefutu, and everyone suddenly realized.

"But why did the Jurchens in Liaodong collude with the Xiongnu?" Li Jing asked strangely.

Jiang Ziya said: "No wonder, no wonder! In fact, the Military Aircraft Department has long received news from the intelligence agency that Uwe Shanyu has close contacts with the leader of the Jianzhou Jurchens, but we have never taken it to heart. Who I can imagine that the Jurchens are willing to spend their money and send all their elite troops to work for the Huns!"

Li Jing analyzed: "This matter is not difficult to understand. The Jurchens are powerful in combat and live in Liaodong. Whether it is Korea or Dongying, including the Huns, they dare not provoke them easily. But if the Great Wei destroys the Huns, their Jurchens It is equivalent to surviving in the cracks, and it will be a matter of time before they are annexed by us. From this point of view, it is not difficult for them to send troops to help the Huns."

Yan Hao said: "The Jurchens are less than [-], and they are invincible. The number of Jurchens is small, but their fighting power is extremely fierce. Even the Huns have always stayed away from this desperate neighbor. Now that the Jurchens have sent elite iron Buddhas to help, what should we do?" how to respond?"

While the generals were discussing, Jurchen's Tiefutu had already broken through the defense line of the WISCO, and charged towards the phalanx of crossbowmen behind!

At the same time, the humming of the Huns sounded from all directions, and the iron cavalry of the Huns followed the Jurchen, and also charged at the Wei army from both wings!

At the critical moment, Jiang Ziya remained calm and commanded calmly.

"Zhao Yun led 20 elite cavalry to cover the central phalanx on the left!"

"Li Jing led 5 Black Armored Dragon Riders, and Huo Qubing led 5 Yunzhou Lion Riders to attack the enemy from the right!"

"Bohan leads 10 Wusun Flying Riders to observe the battlefield situation and support the weak areas on the field at any time!"

"Li Cunxu led 10 silver spear guards to stand in front of the rhubarb crossbow. Be sure to protect the safety of the rhubarb crossbow and Fuyuan giant crossbow behind, so that they can shoot with confidence!"

Under Jiang Ziya's orderly command, both the left and right wings of the Wei army withstood the impact of the Huns, but the iron stupa in the middle made it difficult for the Wei army to deal with it.

Although Li Cunxu's silver spears are a sharp weapon against cavalry, their dense spear array has little effect in front of the Iron Buddha.Firstly, Tiefutu's defensive power is too strong, and it is difficult for Wei Jun's spears to penetrate their heavy armor, and secondly, their formation is extremely easy to be dispersed under the impact of the three-horse chain.Once the spear array is dispersed, the single infantry can only be slaughtered by the heavy cavalry at will.

Seeing Tie Futu's saber close at hand, Li Cunxu finally became anxious.He knew that once these powerful heavy cavalry were allowed to approach the defenseless crossbowmen, it would be a one-sided massacre.

Li Cunxu waved the tiger-headed Zhan golden gun, and rushed into the Iron Buddha phalanx alone!Facing these terrifying armored cavalry, he didn't know it. He swayed lightly, avoiding the impact of the sabers and horses of the cavalry above him.

In the gap between the iron hooves of the war horse, he jumped up, jumped high into the air, and stabbed the tip of the spear towards the heart of the enemy!The cavalryman who was stabbed was pierced on the spot and rolled to the ground, but Li Cunxu didn't give up, and stepped on the horse's head with one foot and flew out, blocking the weapons of the nearby enemies.

He stabbed a few more shots in the air like lightning, and every time he fired a gun, a cavalryman would fall to the ground, and in a blink of an eye, everything around him fell down!The war horse that lost the rider's control neighed, and also lost its balance and fell to the ground during the rampage.
