Chapter 880
Chapter 880
A footman without a war horse brandishes his weapon and stabs the enemy in front of him in the most primitive way.
Almost in an instant, all the soldiers in the first row fell down, and then they were trampled on, not all dead.
From a high altitude, Xiqi's front is advancing all the way and unstoppable. On the contrary, Su Hu's front is slowly retreating and can't keep its front straight.
This result greatly boosted Xiqi's morale, swept away the decline of the previous fighting generals, and Su Hu's face became quite ugly.
In fact, from the point of view of battle confrontation alone, the two sides are equal, changing and conquering, fighting and competing, which reflects not only the command level of the general, but also the training achievements of the army.
In terms of generals, Xiqi died, nangongshi, and Su Baoshen was one of the four famous generals in the world after a hundred battles. Undoubtedly, he had the upper hand. However, due to the training effect of the army, Su Hu's army obviously tended to lose in the frontal confrontation.
In fact, it makes sense to think about it.
In the first World War of Jizhou city, Wang Shi did win a brilliant victory, but at this time, Su Hu led his army to attack Xiqi, asking Jichang to demote the soldiers into slaves again.
This is not only to kill them at home, but also to beat them back to their original shape!
Therefore, every Xiqi soldier is desperate. He doesn't need too much encouragement at all. His morale has risen to the extreme. He is brave, fearless and unshakable!
Su Hu understood this truth from the lesson of blood.
Based on his experience, he should have expected, but he had a deep-rooted discrimination against the slave class. He never regarded slaves as human beings, and naturally he would not put himself in the other side's shoes.
After realizing this at the moment, Su Hu still had no compromise in his heart, but became more vigilant.
The slaves were no longer submissive, only at the mercy of the upper class. Even if Ji Chang was willing to return to slavery, the soldiers would immediately raise their weapons and resist.
"If you don't give in, kill!"
Su Hu's eyes were ferocious, raised his long sword and gave an order: "armour car out!"
Boom!
The sound of earth shaking and mountains shaking sounded, and armored vehicles were pushed into the battlefield.
This armored vehicle is three times larger than an ordinary chariot. It is wrapped in iron armor, thick and solid. It is pushed by eight wheels under it, as high as people's neck. There is a pull-out plate on the vehicle, which can be pulled out, and the height can be increased to about one foot. The roof of each vehicle can accommodate three people. One long soldier, one archer and one flying axe are arranged.
Different from the pure mechanism of hundred crossbows, this kind of armored vehicle is the combination of manpower and mechanism. It is an all-round upgrade of the chariot of this era. Its main role is to attack fortified positions on the battlefield.
Head on!
When the armour car rumbled and came with peiran Mo's ability to resist the impact, the faces of Xiqi generals suddenly changed.
In front of this kind of war weapon, the flesh and blood body is almost ready to collapse at one touch. Xiqi's infantry, no matter how fierce and fearless they are, are also for nothing.
But Ji Chang was still calm, waved his big hand and sent out the cavalry.
In the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the so-called cavalry was extremely simple. There was no standard armor, let alone saddle and stirrup. It was basically a pure combination of man and horse.
Why did the riders basically invent saddles and stirrups when they returned to the era before the Three Kingdoms? It is precisely because with them, the cavalry can liberate their hands and make various movements on the horse more easily that the history of human war ushered in the era of invincible cavalry.
Fortunately, the Terran physique of Xianwu world is much stronger than that of ordinary history. The demand for Saddle Stirrups is relatively low, and the key is war horses.
In the Shang Dynasty, there were horses naturally, but ordinary horses were useless. They could not stand the Xianwu level war. In fact, the horses that could withstand the fierce war had been biased towards exotic animals. The war horses of dog Rong had the thin blood of the demon family. After training, they had cavalry to cross the world.
Xiqi fought with gourong for hundreds of years. At first, he suffered from the hardships of cavalry. Then he slowly explored, gradually penetrated and spent countless efforts to finally cultivate his own horses and set up a cavalry camp.
The reason why emperor B was so afraid of Xiqi during Ji Li's rule was the formation of cavalry.
Now the cavalry camp has shown its power.
The first is fast.
From dispatch to attack, the infantry shouted for a long time and ran a few kilometers before they officially met each other, while the cavalry came and went like the wind, followed by the first, and killed like lightning.
The second is flexibility.
Xiqi sent out only a thousand cavalry, but it was like a sharp bone removal knife. It sewed the knife along the bone. It was not only fast, but also never hard to shake. It isolated and weakened the hard bones by stripping and dividing their weaknesses.
The armour chariot was really powerful and rumbled like a moving Great Wall, but the cavalry avoided its edge and used high speed to turn back and make circuitous attacks, which compressed the role of armour chariot to the extreme.
Not only that, the cavalry commander also keenly found that the armored vehicles were linked with each other in chains.
He immediately brightened his eyes and gave orders to attack his weak points, and then the infantry pushed away the armored vehicle to disintegrate his defense line.
"Change!"
Seeing Xiqi cavalry show off their power, Su Hu was not in a hurry. The military flag shook and changed the formation.
The formation of the great wall formed by armored vehicles suddenly changed and turned into a circle. The vanguard troops retreated under the blowing of the horn and disappeared behind the thick iron plate of armored vehicles.
Even the car is a city, which can be called a city!
Hundreds of armored vehicles are hooked together to firmly protect thousands of soldiers. After giving up length and flexibility, we get thickness and cooperation.
When the flap on the car was opened, countless iron thistles were sprinkled on the ground in front of the car, which immediately made the previous rampant cavalry suffer a lot of losses. The steel plate stretched out again. The soldiers in heavy armor stood on it, aimed at the soldiers in front and waved their long spears, which was almost a slaughter like mowing grass. The archers bent their bows and arrows, pouring arrow rain towards the front without scruples.
For a time, there were endless cries of tragedy.
With the armored vehicle as the barrier, Su Hu's army became as solid as gold, and the attack and defense were integrated. Even the cavalry had no loopholes to find. On the contrary, as long as the Xiqi soldiers within the attack range were lucky.
Seeing the casualties rising, Ji Chang's face became extremely coagulated, and even helpless.
Nangong Shi's death was indeed a heavy blow to Xiqi. After all, he was inclined to rule the country. He was not good at fighting on the battlefield. He continued to see moves and open up moves, but used his own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths.
Ji Fa hesitated in his eyes, but after weighing the pros and cons, he felt that the time had not come, so he stood still.
As a result, those strange people and scholars who originally wanted to appear in his pro guards also withdrew their steps and remained in the state of watching the war.
After a short hesitation, Ji Chang's eyes were calm and gave orders to the left and right heralds:
"The three armies attack and attack Su baoben array!"
