Chapter 210: Great Victory
"By the way, I want to ask you one more thing. Does that little girl have a husband's family? I've heard for a long time that you Xianbo girls are all very handsome. When I saw you yesterday, it really is better to meet you than to be famous!" Xiao Chen He never forgets that beautiful girl Urolan.
"Farewell!" The envoy was furious.
"Don't ask, don't ask, you see you're in a hurry again!" Xiao Chen laughed.
"Then you just insist on not surrendering, right?" Seeing that Xiao Chen didn't know how to flatter, the envoy uttered wild words, and was ready to leave in a huff.
"Shouldn't you vote for now?" Xiao Chen said, "Let's see, if it really doesn't work, we'll talk about it."
"Hehe, you are dead, you are all dead!" The messenger sneered, turned his head and left, everyone seemed to be overwhelmed by his power, and they all took the initiative to give him a way in silence.
"Let's go? Let's go slowly and don't see you off. Come and play when you have time later. Alas... You said that everyone is a good neighbor and should be a good brother. Why do you have to call back and forth? By the way, greet you for me The eighth-generation ancestor of General Dabokun!" Xiao Chen waved to his back.
When Dabokun heard that Xiao Chen refused to surrender, and even greeted his eighth-generation ancestors, he was furious and immediately ordered an attack!
The cavalry's attack mode is simple and rough, that is, to hit the horse slowly first, and when the horse starts to run, it is like an arrow from the string, going forward indomitably, unstoppably, and invincible!
Here he made the first mistake caused by underestimating the enemy, that is, he did not send troops to remove the obstacle of repelling the horse.
He thought that these refusal horses were the same as the ones he encountered before, the kind that were buried in the shallow soil and scattered as soon as they rushed, but unexpectedly, Gongsunban and the others worked very meticulously, and every refusal horse stake was deeply driven into the ground. Three feet deep in the soil!
Moreover, several strong iron chains were buried underneath. As long as the horse is touched, the iron chains will immediately stretch out of the ground, which is a tripping rope.
So what looks like a simple refusal post is actually a series of small institutions.
This is actually not a problem, but it is just to temporarily block the attack speed of the Xianbo cavalry, but the problem is that the distance between the horse-repelling posts is within the optimal range of those ballistas...
So when the torrent of impact was blocked and people were turned on their backs, the ballista was 1.5 meters long, the fingers were thick, and the crossbow arrows with hooked iron arrows began to launch terrifying long-range shots.
The sound of the wind breaking was earth-shattering, and countless crossbow arrows flew towards them swiftly, swinging their tails like spirit snakes, and shot through the unarmored Xianbo cavalry, both man and horse!
The crossbow arrows fired by this machine spring are extremely powerful within the effective range. Not to mention that the Xianbo cavalry are only wearing thin leather armor, they can penetrate even heavy iron armor!
The most wicked thing is that the ballista is in a semi-circular formation, and there is no dead angle for the fan attack. It is useless for the cavalry to disperse.
Even if the crossbow arrows are powerful, the vitality persistence is so strong, and the continuous firing will not stop!
In this round of long-range attack, more than a thousand fresh cavalrymen were shot dead, hundreds of them were injured, more than half of them were damaged, and they hadn't even met each other...
After finally rushing out of the horse-repelling formation, the first arrow box of the ballista was also shot out. Just in the time of changing clothes, the brave Xianbo cavalry had rushed to a distance of several hundred steps in front of the formation, and just entered the musket range.
Just listening to the continuous crisp sound of crackling in the woods, puffs of black smoke rose into the sky, and countless projectiles shot towards them, immediately punching blood holes one by one on the bodies of the fresh cavalry who were charging!
However, nearly a thousand Xianbo cavalry rushed to the front of the crossbow cart formation. Zhuge Xiaosheng gave an order, and hundreds of strong men behind the cart also shouted a chant, put their feet on the ground, and pressed their shoulders firmly. Live the body.
The car itself was extremely heavy, and wooden stakes had been laid underneath it in advance to fix it. In addition, these strong men resisted desperately, and the charge of the Xianbo cavalry was immediately blocked.
The front row rushed too fast, and even the people and horses were nailed to the sharp iron spikes in front of the car!
A thousand pikemen behind the cart held long spears more than two meters long, stabbing out from the gaps in the cart, and they didn't need any precision at all.
The disadvantages of the cavalry were also revealed. Once the charge was blocked and the speed advantage was lost, they would not be able to reorganize the attack in a short time, and they would be crowded in front of the formation.
Zhuge Xiaosheng waved the command flag in his hand, and a thousand rattan armored swordsmen and a thousand hooked sickle spearmen rushed out shouting in unison. They didn't kill anyone, but just lowered their heads and chopped off the horse's legs all the way, hooking the horse's foot...
"Retreat, retreat!" Dabokun finally realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered to retreat, but it was too late.
Under the leadership of Wei Yuntian, a thousand heavy armored cavalry who had watched the battle for a long time rushed out from the flanks and entered the enemy group, killing hundreds of people in an instant like chopping melons and vegetables.
The light cavalry basically had no chance of winning against these heavily armored cavalry armed to the teeth, not to mention that these were the most elite black dragon guard cavalry of the Great Zhou!
Basically, they were defeated at the first touch, and the remaining hundreds of Xianbo cavalry turned around and fled, but a small light cavalry rushed out of the diagonal stabbing, and shot arrows whizzingly while chasing.
The thicker layered leather armor of the Xianbo cavalry mainly protects the front chest, and the back protection is very light. There is only a thin layer, which cannot withstand close-range bows and arrows at all. In an instant, more than half of them were killed and injured. escape...
Originally, they wanted to fight a blocking battle, but unexpectedly it turned into a war of annihilation, which was beyond the expectations of the generals of both sides.
I really didn't think of it before.
The main reason for the victory in this battle is that Dabokun greatly underestimated the combat power of Xiao Chenfang, while Xiao Chen and the others greatly overestimated the combat power of the Xianbo cavalry.
If one side underestimates the enemy rashly, and the other side does their best, the result can be imagined.
But the Xianbo cavalry were really brave, and in this situation of being completely passive and beaten, they still caused a lot of casualties to Xiao Chen.
Roughly checking, more than 500 brothers were damaged and more than 100 were injured.
But in any case, this battle is a complete victory.
The most outstanding performance in actual combat is not the ballista with huge lethality, nor the musket with the second most lethality, but the fighting spirit of the brothers who are not afraid of death!
When they were about to fight, they all risked their lives, and no one flinched!
This is called fighting power.
It's a pity that their strength is still too weak, otherwise they will take advantage of the situation to attack the Xianbo camp, and they will surely achieve more significant results.
Now they can only continue to take the defensive position. Although the enemy has suffered serious losses, the main force is still there, and after suffering such a big loss, the next attack will definitely not underestimate the enemy.
What will happen in the future is still unknown.
So even though he won a big victory, Zhuge Xiaosheng didn't have a smile on his face, he knew that a more brutal battle was yet to come.
Now he is thinking about the feelings of the other party. I don't know if this hurt them?
