The last three kingdoms

Chapter 727
The Shu army's second round of strikes was more intensive. The weapons used were composite bows and Yuanrong crossbows that cost about one stone. Composite bows are slightly smaller than longbows and have a shorter range, but their biggest advantage is That is to change arrows quickly, and the compound bow can shoot three arrows in the time it takes for the longbow to shoot two arrows.

The Yuanrong Crossbow is not to be mentioned. In this era, when it comes to the lethal power of individual weapons, the Yuanrong Crossbow is absolutely incomparable. One shot of ten arrows can form a death fan in an instant. If it is launched, it will definitely form an impenetrable dead space.

Under the dense rain of arrows, the cavalry of the Di army had almost zero chance of surviving the cavalry at the front. It was impossible for the cavalry to escape such a covering attack, whether it was a man or a war horse.

The Di soldiers in front fell to the ground one after another. No one could withstand such an all-round attack. Even if some Di soldiers held shields and wore heavy armor, they could not escape such an arrow of death. If you can't shoot people, can you still shoot horses?You must know that in this era, there is almost no iron cavalry with heavy armor on both men and horses. There is no such thing as the Han people. It is even more impossible for the barbarians who lack iron to create armored cavalry, and ordinary leather armor and iron armor are simply impossible to defend against. Live this dense arrow rain.

In this short space of one arrow, I don't know how many Di soldiers died. The entire battlefield was littered with corpses, and Di Bing's offensive momentum was completely suppressed.

Qi Wannian was supervising the formation at the back. Seeing this scene, his face turned ashen. He thought he would be crushed easily, but he was hit head-on.Just in the first impact, the loss was already heavy.

However, Qi Wannian is not someone who would give up easily. If he came so aggressively, he would be wilted as soon as he fought a battle. When the wind fell, Qi Wannian gritted his teeth and ordered the Di soldiers to launch an attack at all costs, and must break through the defense line of the Shu army.

The advantage of the archers lies in long-range attacks, but once they are dragged into melee by the cavalry, they can do whatever they want, so the most urgent task of the Di soldiers is to break through the defense line of the Shu army. Among them, the situation of the battle will be completely reversed.

After receiving the order, the Di soldiers once again launched a violent attack on the Shu army's position with overwhelming momentum. Not only was the confrontation on the frontal battlefield, but also a considerable amount of troops were invested in the two flanks. Qi Wannian believed that the Shu army No matter how many arrows there are, it will not be able to withstand the siege of the Di soldiers on all sides. As long as the Di cavalry surround the Shu army and attack from all directions, sooner or later the Shu army's arrows will be exhausted.

Moreover, the cavalry has the ability to attack quickly, and the siege on all sides can make the defense of the Shu army flawless. As long as a hole can be torn, the situation can be reversed in an instant.

Qi Wannian's move was indeed effective. Although the arrow rain density of the Shu army had not weakened in the slightest, the Di people invested more offensive troops, which created an opportunity for them to hit the front of the Shu army. Among the piles of corpses all over the ground, some The Di Bing had already broken through the arrow rain net, and rushed towards what they saw as just pieces of wooden boards put together.

Qi Wannian and the high-ranking generals of the Di people who were watching the battle at the back were extremely excited. They were greatly relieved. In their opinion, the battle might be over if they broke through to the front of the Shu army's position. Now the Di people The cavalry only needs to work harder to smash those wooden boards, and this victory will become no suspense.

Di people knew Liu Yin's ability to defeat the bald tree at the beginning, but the specific process was not clear. Although Yongzhou and Liangzhou were not far apart, in this era of lack of communication means, Di people wanted to know what happened thousands of miles away. All the details are almost impossible, so the people of Di didn't know about Liu Yin's use of the van when he was fighting with the bald tree machine, so in their eyes, they didn't know how powerful the van was. , I just thought it was a few broken wooden boards temporarily piled up by the Shu army.

When the Di people's cavalry slammed into the van, there were deafening cheers in the Di people's camp, as if victory was close at hand, but what surprised them all was that after the violent impact, the shattered What is missing is not those wooden boards, but the skulls of war horses.

When the huge bodies of the war horses hit the van, they made a dull and loud noise, "Boom, boom, boom". The heavy body of the horses and the inertia generated by the high-speed galloping, such impact force is quite amazing, but those who look The not-so-thick "wooden board" easily blocked such an impact. Except for some large shaking, not a single piece of wood chips fell down.

The ones who died in front of the van were the horses of the Di people. When the soldiers of the Di people got up from the ground in embarrassment, a long gun came out from the gap in the van. They were stabbed and fell to the ground one after another, and a river of blood flowed in front of the van.

Qi Wannian was speechless in astonishment. Obviously, the "wooden boards" discharged by the Shu army would definitely not be simple pieces of wood. It was only in [-] that Liu Yin realized that Liu Yin camped in the plains not because of so-called stupidity and ignorance, but because he had prepared such special means of defense that he dared to compete with the Di cavalry in the plains.

But for this sake, either he will try his best to attack with all his might, or he will leave countless corpses and return to Fuping in disgrace. With Qi Wannian's proud character, it is naturally impossible to escape back to Fuping with his tail between his legs. Well, although the van formations are powerful, they are just a pile of wood after all. As long as you find a suitable method, it may not be difficult to break the van formations.

Qi Wannian thought hard for a while, and finally thought of a way, that is to cut down trees to make a lumber, carried by more than a dozen cavalrymen, and ram it towards the carriage formation. The ram should not be too thin or too thick, too thick. If it is thin, the power of the impact is insufficient, and if it is too thick, it cannot be lifted, so the tree trunks with the mouth of the bowl are generally three or four feet thick and long.

Under the cover of many cavalry, the cavalry team carrying the red wood finally rushed to the front of the side car formation after paying a huge price, and slammed into the side car under the eyes of everyone. car.

But the miracle did not happen, the van only trembled a few times, and it was still intact.

Qi Wannian and the others were stunned, they couldn't figure out what these vans were made of, they were like an iron wall.
