Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 337
The vertical stone is like a fist, which is the Song Army's evaluation of the Xixia Poxi Army. In the history of Xixia, the Poxi Army became famous in Li Yuanhao's period, and it was more common in Li Yuanhao's period. Enemies I wish to meet.

But when the Poxi army was in Xixia, there were not many people. Zhang Zhao estimated that in addition to the national power factor, it was also related to the complex composition of Xixia forces.

Li Yuanhao was probably unwilling to expand the size of the Poxi Army out of a certain balance, so as not to let the royal family, or even people other than himself, master this big killer.

But Zhang Zhao certainly didn't have such concerns as Li Yuanhao's. The thinking of pathological narcissism is not something ordinary people can understand.

However, there are not many whirlwind gunners in the Guiyi Army, because it is indeed a bit troublesome to manufacture, and the quality and requirements of the gunners are still relatively high.

He Chuan rubbed his nose anxiously. After he called for gold, the Guiyi army also retreated. What are these Hexi people going to do?Why not attack?

Just when he was wondering, more than a hundred camels came out yelling, what does this mean?Camel riders?He Chuan couldn't understand it.

"What's on those camels? Looks like. um. Like."

Beside He Chuan, Wu Fenshi narrowed his eyes and recalled. He always felt something familiar on the camel's back, but he couldn't remember what it was.

"The direction is to the right, up five, right nine." A captain of the whirlwind cannon flag squinted his eyes and reported the data loudly.

Following his report, the large bannermen of the Chinese army raised a large black flag symbolizing the right side, and two small bannermen ran past the whirlwind cannons with small flags on their backs.

The semaphore soldiers in front have five small red triangular flags on their backs, and the semaphore soldiers behind them have a large yellow square flag and four small yellow triangular flags on their backs.

Once the semaphore soldiers passed by, the rearing soldiers who took care of the camels and the sub-gunner who adjusted the shooting angle and direction drove the camels one by one, and adjusted the scale on the whirlwind cannon by one person, and the adjustment was completed within half a cup of tea.

"No! That's a trebuchet! The Hexi people put the trebuchet on the back of the camel!" Wu Defense Envoy suddenly roared, and he saw what was on the camel's back.

Trebuchet?Is there such a small trebuchet?As soon as this thought came to He Chuan's mind, his soul suddenly froze. No way, the Hexi people are going to smash their own crossbowmen.

"Third and fourth from the left, the crossbow array goes to the right, shoot at the camels on the opposite side, and the second, third, fourth, and sixth from the right go forward!"

He Chuan made a decisive decision and ordered all the crossbowmen to step forward, and allocated only a few hundred cavalry to charge forward, trying to scare off Zhang Zhao's camel whirlwind cannon.

At this time, the range of small trebuchets was about [-] steps, and that of large ones was less than [-] steps.

Because the stones of Zhang Zhao's whirlwind cannon are carefully polished, and the trebuchet is also more refined, so although it is small, it can still reach an effective range of about two hundred steps.

But this is a very dangerous distance, because the popular big wooden single crossbow and Fuyuan crossbow also have this range, and even exceed this range. Ordinary crossbows can also cause damage at about [-] steps.

That's why He Chuan ordered the crossbowmen to attack, but it was a bit late, as soon as the order was given to the left and right crossbowmen, there was a terrifying cry of 'woo woo'.

Eighty whirlwind cannons threw polished boulders the size of fists, and rained them on the crossbow array of the chaos army.

The crossbowman on the second right of the rebellious army had just issued an order to let the soldiers move forward, when the boulder roared towards him, his mouth was still open and his legs were still moving forward, but his whole head Already sunk in.

The iron pockets did not have the slightest protective effect, and the white brains were stained pink by the blood, popping everywhere like tofu brains.

A crossbowman next to Dutou suddenly felt a spasm in his stomach. He jerked his head and vomited loudly.

And it was this bending that saved his life. The throwing stone that was supposed to hit him hit the crossbowman behind him.

The crossbowman wore a piece of leather armor and a small ring lock armor, but it was also useless.

He didn't even make a snort, and threw the stone directly into the crossbowman's chest with the iron ring of the ring lock armor. The huge impact force even squeezed the crossbowman's internal organs directly from the breach. Squirt' out.

Under the urging of the officer, several sword and shield players may want to cover the crossbowman, but this kind of shield, which is not even covered with iron skin, is useless under the blow of the stone throwing.

As soon as a sword and shield hand raised his long shield, two gaps were smashed into the shield, and half of the sword and shield soldier's head was cut off.

Raindrops of stones were thrown one after another. This raindrop was not an adjective, but a description. The reason why it was called the whirlwind cannon was because its striking speed was like a whirlwind.

As the gunners continued to take out the slings from the skins carried by the camels, the blows from the whirlwind cannon became faster and faster.

This kind of fist-sized boulder has been thrown so vigorously, no matter what kind of armor you have, as long as it hits it, it will be useless, just like nothing.

The advancing chaos army's right second crossbowmen formed a large formation, and they disappeared directly under the blow of three rounds of strong winds and showers.

It's not that they collapsed, but that their formation was too dense, and they were not mentally prepared. They didn't even have time to run, and they were all beaten and wiped out. There were more than a hundred crossbowmen, and seven or 80 people disappeared in more than three minutes. .

At this time, on the original position of the second from the right, there is only a piece of stumped limbs and broken arms and red and white things sprayed everywhere.

Some were hit in the head, and lost their life without even humming, and some were hit in the abdomen, causing their intestines to be pierced, but they did not die immediately and cried in a low voice.

After the second from the right was finished, it was the third from the right. The whirlwind gunner adjusted the direction a little, and threw stones like raindrops. The third crossbow array on the right, which was walking forward, almost collapsed.

Not only them, He Chuan ordered the forward right fourth and right sixth formations to collapse almost at the same time, and no one wanted to use their flesh and blood to fight against the stones.

At the same time, the speed of the left three and left four crossbow formations that were supposed to support immediately slowed down, almost like a turtle crawling.

He Chuan cursed angrily, and waved at the guard who was holding a shiny long knife beside him.

This kind of personal guard holding a long knife is called a silver knife officer. The general is responsible for the guard of honor when he travels to improve his status. On the battlefield, he is generally used as a supervisor of the battle team.

Sure enough, more than a dozen silver saber officers rushed over and slashed and killed the broken crossbowmen. After killing three or four people, the collapsed crossbowmen finally calmed down. Under the command, start to regroup.

Just when the whirlwind cannon smashed into the crossbow formation of the bandit army, more than [-] cavalry sent by He Chuan roared out of the formation and rushed straight towards the whirlwind cannon formation.

The rebel cavalry at the front were all overjoyed, these Hexi people didn't even send out cavalry to intercept them.

I rushed straight to within sixty paces, fired at random arrows, let's see how you throw stones.

But they were still a hundred steps away when they saw hundreds of people rushing out from around the camels, and they shot at the charge with strong crossbows. They all hurriedly screamed, put back the bows in their hands, and took them long gun.

Use horse bows and crossbows to shoot at each other, unless he is crazy, the best way now is to rush over.

Thirty steps!
Twenty steps!
'boom!boom! Dutou felt a blur in front of his eyes, and a dozen brilliant fire dragons sprayed directly in front of his eyes.

At first, it seemed that countless fragments had pierced his face, and he screamed, as if his face had been pierced by countless steel needles.

Just as he screamed, the hot gunpowder burned his face, and the burning pain caused him to throw away the spear in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, an unpleasant smell of poison floated into Dutou's nostrils, and Dutou felt dizzy, nauseated, and fell to the ground with another scream.

Almost at the same time, Dutou's war horse was also sprayed by some fireworks from the pear flower gun. The horse was timid, and when it was sprayed by fireworks that it had never seen before, it didn't care about anything else, it turned around and ran away.

Poor Du was not killed by the pear blossom gun, but when he fell, his foot was still stuck in the stirrup.

The terrified war horse dragged him and ran wildly, knocking his head against various stones all the way, and passed out after a few strokes.

Those who rushed to the front were all sprayed on their heads, and the dozens of riders behind them also did not run away. When they charged, they were hit by a wave of crossbow arrows and lost more than [-] riders. If the formation in the front is chaotic, it doesn't matter how many people are behind, just turn around and run back.

At this moment, the cavalry of the Guiyi Army who had not moved all this time moved. Murong Xinchang held the horse in his hand and let out a long roar. Hundreds of cavalry rushed over and directly blocked the fleeing thief cavalry. More than three hundred cavalry could not move. I don't know if I can escape back a hundred rides.

Here, the whirlwind cannon was completely gone. Under the order of the officer, the foster soldiers drove the camels forward and smashed the crossbowmen that had just been completed.

"Military envoy, let's go forward with the whole army. There are too many of us, so we rush forward to fight hand-to-hand. If we are hit for a quarter of an hour, our morale will collapse!"

Wu Defense made his heart shattered. He has such a flexible trebuchet, so he doesn't have to take the initiative to come up. If you dare not move, he dares to use this whirlwind cannon for a whole day.

He Chuan's intestines were full of regret at this moment, why did he leave in such a hurry and didn't bring those Fuyuan crossbows with him.

If there are a few fuyuan crossbows, how can the trebuchet on the opposite side be less arrogant.

"Military envoy! Hurry up and give the order!" Seeing that the trebuchet on the opposite side was about to smash again, Wu was in a hurry for defense, and couldn't help but shouted by grabbing He Chuan's sleeve.

He Chuan's face sank like water, and he took a look at Defense Envoy Wu, "Our tooth soldiers are just starting to wear armor!"

Defense Envoy Wu suddenly turned pale. Just now, the commander of the Hexi Army, who was on the opposite side of the joke, asked the soldiers to put on armor in advance. Only then did he realize that the clown turned out to be himself.

"A self-led personal guard is desperate to attack, and the military envoy hastened to mobilize the army!"

After a few breaths of silence, Defense Envoy Wu gritted his teeth. Now that he doesn't know if his people are dead or not, He Chuan is the only one he can rely on.

If He Chuan can occupy Guanzhong, he still has a place to live, otherwise the world is so big that there may be no place to bury his bones.
