Eagle Byzantium

At that moment, the Roman Imperial Guards and the border residents saw clearly that the whirling heavy objects were red-hot iron ingots, or to be more precise, they were iron weights that were burned red by soldiers in the Song Army's chariot camp with charcoal fire. , and then placed into a bullet bag of non-flammable material, and continuously ejected with sixteen "belly cannons" (a lightweight three-tip trebuchet).

Commander Guo Cheng's vehicle camp tactics have always been to surround the carriages on three sides against the enemy, with felt cloths hung on the carriages and arrows on the sides, and then light cannons, divine arm bows, and bed crossbows were deployed to coordinate with the soldiers' axes. Guns, long knives and firecrackers, and then setting up trebuchets behind them, forming a multi-layered firepower and watertight car camp fortification.

The iron ingot wrapped in flames rotated rapidly, with a terrifying whirring sound. During the free fall of the projectile, it continuously crushed and exploded the arrows flying between enemies and enemies in the air, forming clusters of red lotus blooms with trajectories. , then split The head was smashed onto the trunk of the carriage that the Roman army was pushing. No shield or leather could withstand this attack: in an instant, more than ten people were hit and fell to the ground dead, and many carriages were hit. You have to lie down in the nest and set it on fire.

Zhigata saw this scene, and then saw in the wind and snow, the enemy's rear arm swinging arm was making a clanging sound, and the fiery red flying iron ingots were rising one after another. Then he roared, and first waved his hand to him. Old Walter, who had untied his leather rope and prepared for the chariot to charge, shouted, "Hurry up and ask the archers and spearmen of the border people to follow the chariot. I will lead the five hundred selected soldiers up first. No need to cover!"

Then, three well-loaded muskets were hung on the shoulder straps of Zigata's leather armor. He held a cavalry ax in one hand and a battle flag high in the other, waving, "Charge, charge, don't stay behind the car barrier like this." You coward, rush forward with all your might, light the fire, burn the iron ropes between the enemy's vehicles, rush in and fight, fight to the death!"

"Wait for the five-gun and shotgun to come up."

"What are you waiting for!? Go ahead!"

Then he rushed to the stationary burning vehicle, pulled, kicked, and angrily scolded the covered border soldiers. He placed the battle flag on the flames and burned it. Then he jumped out like a lion, stepping on the arrows. And in the death zone where lead bullets rained down, they charged on foot.

A dozen inspired border residents also took out the wooden sticks prepared by the vehicles and lit them on fire. Then they also held axes and small sickles and rushed forward after Zigata.

Then there were dozens of people, hundreds of people, hundreds of people...

Even the armored hounds of the border residents howled and ran through the flames, scrambling to follow their tame masters and pounce on them.

Followed by General Mikhail, he was waving his arms while riding on his war horse. Hundreds of Imperial Imperial Guard soldiers covered in double armor also held up long-handled axes and spears, stepping on the burning melting snow and grass. , pressing up behind it like a wave.

Along the road, people kept screaming, being shot by divine arm bows and fire blunderbuss, and falling to the ground in various death postures. But the rest either bravely continued to rush forward, or kept shouting the names of the Lord and the Holy Mother, Instead of looking at the corpses of their companions, they ran quickly. Some lowered their heads, shouted hysterically, hunched their shoulders and rushed towards the densely packed enemy vehicles regardless of formation.

"Your Majesty, Commander..." Yuhou, who was stunned by the desperate charge of the border people, grabbed General Guo Cheng, who was still waving the command flag, which meant that there were only three car camps in this area. The soldiers under this command may not be able to withstand the enemy's desperate assault.

"Don't retreat!" Guo Cheng also yelled angrily, and then he stood in the carriage and turned around, raising a flag to the cavalry troops who were resting behind, meaning "I will fight to the death, you will soon." We have to launch an assault to push the enemy back and break through their lines."

Next, Guo Cheng chopped off his hand and shouted to the entire battalion of soldiers, "Fire the oil tank with fierce fire. The rest of the soldiers raised their swords and fought the barbarians to the end!"

After this order, behind almost every bicycle in the village, a pair of Song Army soldiers wearing fur hats crouched behind the carriage board and stretched a long pump out of the shooting hole. One person was responsible for firing, and the other was standing by. There is an oil pumping cabinet with four small wheels that are pushed sideways and connected by leather tubes.

"Burn, burn."

Stab, sting, the sound of stab exploded, and fire dragons flew out in front of the Song Army's carriage camp.

At the same time, some border residents also knelt down, working in pairs, and lit the "Salamander Pipes" in their hands with the latch. Bang bang bang, the same dazzling white flames mixed with Khitan snow were shot out.

There were also people throwing iron fire poles everywhere, and there were constant explosions everywhere.

Suddenly both sides were surrounded by fire. There were fireworks on Zhigata's armor. He rushed to the position between the two carriages and split the burned iron rope with a cavalry axe. "Zhiga, the warrior of Polya, The tower bursts in!"

The rest of the Royal Tomb Forbidden Army and the border residents also successively cut off the iron ropes of the stronghold workshop - it would become very fragile under the dual effects of cold and fire, and was not as tough and reliable as the cooked cowhide of Gao Wen's car base - and cut them from various places. Gao Gao fought a bloody battle with the soldiers of the Song Army.

The antlers, thorn branches, bamboo baskets and even the gun barrels set up among the vehicles were burning. The soldiers in the Song Army's vehicle camp also shouted angrily, condescendingly throwing homemade "hand cannons" down like raindrops regardless of the enemy or ourselves.

"Our cavalry is coming!" A Song soldier who had just lit his handgun and smashed it out pointed at the men, horses and flags of the armed cavalry army who were sweeping back and shouted excitedly.

The other soldiers' morale was also boosted and they responded.

But then, the Song soldier was shot in the neck by an arrow and fell off the carriage with a whizzing sound.

Amid the creaking and rhythmic calls, Old Walter stood on the armored command chariot, and together with the other chariots, he continuously fired bullets and arrows, slowly approaching Guo Cheng's chariot camp, just like the warships were about to start a "boarding battle".

A correct version in 16-9 Book Bar!

Standing on the carriage were all carefully selected mountain archers from Cilicia, Armenia or Epirus. They shot arrows with extremely high accuracy without stopping, constantly shooting down Song soldiers to cover their own soldiers, and gradually suppressed the enemy.

"Boys, the cavalry of the friendly alliance has arrived!" Old Walter, with white hair, waved the flag and encouraged loudly.

Behind him, Kobha reorganized 4,000 cavalrymen, crossed the two lines of chariots that were about to bite each other, and engaged in battle with the Wuqi Army that was rushing towards them.

In the wind and snow, the Seljuk cavalry showed their signature skills: holding horn bows on horseback, constantly circling, returning and running, with teams of people shouting, and just after turning around and shooting arrows on the galloping horses, the cavalry waiting in the array came up again, and the battle continued.

The cavalrymen of the Wuqi Army were not to be outdone. They were also good at circling and shooting arrows, and they were particularly good at "splitting horsehair and shooting". One arrow pierced the armor and flew away, and the enemy was either dead or disabled. The two sides were evenly matched and strangled together.

But at this time, the Song Army's chariot camp infantry faced a crisis of insufficient military strength.
