Chapter 503 Mo Dao Array
While urging the horse to speed up, Shi Lei and the others took out their crossbows and shot at the enemy army behind. The cavalry behind were chasing Shi Lei and running, and they were a little bit of an intention to meet Shi Lei and their arrow branches. For the enemy, the arrow branches were faster and the flight distance was shorter. The damage caused by such a middle-aged and upper-level family naturally increased a lot.
The arrows they shot were the opposite, and it was not easy to catch up with Shi Lei and the others. Seeing that someone from their colleagues fell from time to time, the enemy was running leisurely in front of them, which made them even more annoyed. Therefore, tens of thousands of troops were still behind, cursing and chasing, which seemed to be a bit like he would not give up until he killed Shi Lei and the others.
When they arrived at a small hill in front, Shi Lei and Xue's subordinates were all divided into two halves, and opened the fan at the top of the mountain, sending a rain of arrows to the rear army. After raising many enemies, they were completely divided into two sides on the way down the mountain and walked around the opposite side of the downhill road.
But the enemy behind obviously didn't know what Shi Lei and the others meant to do this. Seeing that the distance between Shi Lei and the others had decreased by a fraction, he thought that after a fight, Shi Lei and the others' horses could not keep up with it. Seeing the hope of siege and killing the enemy, these Tuyuhun cavalry even increased their horsepower and ran down.
Then, a long time ago, people were tilting their horses. If you listen carefully, you could hear the sound of "crack, crack" from time to time. It was the sound of the unlucky cavalry flying out, and the spine or simply the neck broke.
This speed is flying out and it will be killed, not to mention that it will be dead after being folded like this, and it will be breathable. The cavalrymen who could not stop the car behind were still speeding up, and they didn't understand what the comrades in front of them had passed. Naturally, they all turned into rolling gourds, covering the floor.
At this time, I went to see the grass on the hillside. In fact, many tough slings made of special silk threads were placed early. The colors of these silk threads were too inconspicuous. If you didn’t look closely, you would not find their existence at all.
And when placed in this position, it was simply unethical and smoked. It was impossible to stop on the hillside. These cavalrymen who were accelerating their lives naturally failed gorgeously.
Shi Lei and the others must have known the location of this fatal trap, so they chose to bypass it early and also trapped the army behind them.
The previous archery was more to hook up with the enemy troops behind, for fear that they would chase them slowly and not sprint hard enough. As a result, their provocation was indeed very effective. The harsh Tuyuhun warriors would basically turn into flying people in the air, and then the whole group would die.
Until the cavalry in front covered the entire area with the corpses of the people and horses, the enemy behind also realized the existence of the trap, so that the good show of stumbled on the front was not continued.
However, they hated Shi Lei and the others even more. Even though they had seen the Tang Dynasty's military formation, they would not delay their determination to kill Shi Lei and his men. Anyway, the Tang army was going to kill them together, but now it has just become a head-on decisive battle. It seems that there is an advantage in using tens of thousands of cavalry to deal with tens of thousands of infantry soldiers.
Just by relying on the downhill speed advantage, the horse speed increased a lot. At this time, he simply rushed straight to the enemy's main formation and killed the central army of the Tang Dynasty. This was a contribution from the sky, and he actually delivered it to his door. Tianyu did not take it, but he was blamed. This battle must be fought.
With the shouts of famous kings from various departments, while running, the Tuyuhun cavalry re-formed a not-so-rigorous formation and rushed towards the Tang army formation.
Obviously they underestimated the preparations of the Tang army. What Shi Lei had brought out was not just a little thing like Trip Marso. In fact, there were also many small objects specially prepared for them in front of the seemingly vast Tang army formation.
For example, there will always be a side-up caltrop. A large area of densely packed small horse traps are created with something similar to a Luoyang shovel. If a war horse accidentally steps in, it will inevitably lead to a broken bone and a broken tendon. The cavalry on the back will definitely be unlucky.
As the man was overturning again, the speed of the Tuyuhun cavalry had to drop, and then what was greeted were the arrows that the Tang army infantry were pressing over like dark clouds.
All the soldiers of the Tang army basically had good archery skills, especially under this overwhelming cover shooting, the Tang Dynasty's advantage in bow making technology was fully utilized. The range was much stronger than that of the Tuyuhun cavalry, which could almost only make it close to shooting.
After finally facing huge casualties and the rain of arrows that were constantly suppressing, they approached the Tang army formation, thinking that they could finally start a massacre, but the one that greeted them was the Lin-like gun formation.
The extended gun several meters long was firmly supported by the strong Guanzhong men, and pressed it on the ground behind it, setting it at the most appropriate angle, giving the opponent a headache.
Although the Tang army could not achieve the cavalry of the entire army, it was still not a big problem to ensure that all soldiers rode on horseback to the battlefield.
Especially these heavy infantrymen, after they gathered here, they slowly put on their armor. When the enemy approached, they raised their spears and waited for their work. They were extremely physically strong and waited for the enemy to approach so that their spears could enter and exit, so that they could make more transparent holes for them.
Even if the enemy's sparse bows and arrows can be shot on them, it will be difficult to cause effective damage in front of their tightly protected armor.
And they are all old soldiers, and they can basically not change their colors in front of the bow and arrow, and they have been repeated countless times intently. The assassination movements that have become physical instinctive, and they are all heading towards the enemy's key points.
Although there were inevitably many casualties in the pirate camp due to the powerful impact of the cavalry, the seemingly invincible torrent of the Tuyuhun cavalry was blocked and trapped in the quagmire of positional warfare.
Seeing that the enemy's momentum was no longer enough and the casualties of the spearmen reached a certain limit, Li Jing decisively ordered that it was time to dispatch the truly top elite among the Tang Dynasty infantry and create a famous Modao war for the Tang army.
These strong men in Guanzhong who have been selected and have stronger bodies than ordinary heavy infantrymen. They are like casting steel and iron. If one is taken out, even if it is placed in the heart of the Central Plains, others will praise a good man.
The tower men with no body size is much worse than those of the three Hei Xiong brothers, and if they hadn't had such a body, they wouldn't be able to bear the weight of equipment of less than fifty kilograms, including weapons, not to mention like them, waving the sword while entering like a wall, and ordinary people would be tiring when they stood there.
This sword is seven feet long, and some are also feet long. The main reason is that each government is responsible for casting it themselves, so the shapes made in Shanghai are slightly different. The cost of this thing is too high and it is borne by the central government, so it is afraid that it will not be able to withstand it.
In addition, you must also adapt to soldiers of different heights. You cannot achieve complete uniformity. However, the blade length is still relatively uniform, usually three feet, and the weight is at least fifteen Tangjin, which is an absolute heavy weapon.
This thing is not simply holding a thorn, but like other heavy weapons, it has to be operated by waist force. Some of the unshakable sword weapons will become like a rotating knife wheel, which is definitely a complete battlefield meat grinder. As long as they are swept by the sword light, they will definitely be the end of the shakable mass, and they can be said to be invincible.
Even the infantrymen of their own had to make room for them to avoid being wiped. This is the real weapon on the battlefield that is injured when they are next to each other, and die when they are touched.
As soon as the Modao Formation came out, it was basically the final stage. Either the Tang army was trapped in a heavy siege and needed to die; or the Tang army wanted to expand the results and give the opponent the strongest blow. Obviously, the Tang army had the upper hand now, and the Modao War was simply coming out to reap the lives of the enemy.
Shi Lei and the others on the other side went around and joined the cavalry team in the formation, ready to attack at any time to give the enemy a last blow. Or simply seize the opportunity to do a good job of chasing the head and go out to grab the head and military merits.
