Four hundred and seventieth chapter iron chain car
Some of the sharp clusters of arrows were bounced away, but many of them were stuck on the vine shield. The invulnerable vine armor has always been a weapon of war for the Ugo Kingdom. During this confrontation, more than a dozen fell under a rain of arrows. Although not many, for the vine armor soldiers, the invincible momentum was broken with the fall of these dozen people.
This means that the vine armor is not really indestructible. Even if the opponent's arrow rain does not cause much damage, once this momentum is released, the morale of the vine armor army drops faster than that of ordinary soldiers.
The ability of bows and arrows to shoot through vine armor is unimaginable for Wutu bones.
Meng Huo looked at this scene and felt relieved. Should he say that Liu Yi did not disappoint him? He actually came up with other ways to crack the vine armor besides fire attack?
"Master!" Meng Huo suddenly shouted to Wu Tugu: "Although the Han army's bows and arrows are powerful, they cannot completely break the vine armor army. If you don't rush at this moment, then when will you wait!"
Although it was considered to have broken the vine armor, in fact, Meng Huo's understanding of Liu Yi must have a backup plan.
"Okay!" Wu Tugu quickly calmed down. As Meng Huo said, although the other party's bow and arrow were powerful, the damage to the Fujijia Army was limited. You should take this opportunity to suppress it and immediately ordered and shouted: "Don't be afraid, move forward!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Thirty thousand vine armored troops lined up and shouted slogans to approach the Han army's military formation. Compared with the scattered barbarian soldiers, the vine armored soldiers of the Wugo Kingdom, in addition to their equipment advantages, also surpassed the barbarian army in terms of military literacy. At least such an array and such a sense of oppression were formed, and no barbarian soldiers I encountered before could do it.
This is the momentum of a victorious army, but this momentum is greatly reduced because more than a dozen people were shot and killed just now. Otherwise, the momentum alone may lose the fighting spirit.
Liu Yi hung the telescope back to his waist. At this distance, there was no need to use the telescope to see it anymore.
"Retreat!" Liu Yi waved the order flag, and it seemed that he wanted to leave. Five thousand soldiers quickly retreated backwards with Liu Yi's order, and the chariot hidden in the back formation was immediately revealed.
The height of these carriages is not high, and the highest part of the car body is only about five feet. The structure of the entire frame is very simple, with more than a dozen pieces of wood and two wheels. The structure is clear at a glance, but it gives people a very solid feeling.
Each carriage poked out two shafts and tightly placed them on a war horse. The necks and disclosures of these war horses were snatched with iron armor to protect them from being killed immediately, and also blindfolded their eyes.
What is even more heart-wrenching is that each carriage is fixed with six spears that stretch out the horse's feet. These spears are not tied to the chariot, but are integrated into the structure of the chariot when making the chariot. From a distance, they look like monsters with six fangs.
Every five or ten were fixed together with iron chains and wooden boards. At that time, Cao Cao used iron chains in the Battle of Red Cliff. This time, Liu Yi used iron chains. These chariots were not in one row, but eight rows were lined up for every hundred, with a mile horizontally, in order to avoid the occurrence of fish that escaped the net or the enemy broke through the front carriage in time, and the following could be quickly pushed up.
Compared with Cao Cao's iron chain, Liu Yi's iron chain train is much simpler, and he is not afraid of the opponent's fire attack. Because there is no one operating, the chariot crashes into it. If the opponent really uses fire attack, he will pay attention to it at most. However, this tactic requires almost harsh terrain. Liu Yi has traveled many places in the past few days, and finally chose the battlefield by the Kun Pool. The other party must know that it is a plan, and it is not realistic to lead the other party over the place. Only here can use this plan.
"What is that!" Wu Tugu looked at the rows of chariots connected together in surprise.
The chariots were once prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, but as time went by, the chariots were gradually eliminated by history because of their strict requirements on the terrain and could not be flexibly used in various terrains. They have not appeared on the battlefield for a long time. They have been in the southern barbarians for a long time, and have never even heard of such things.
"Charge!?" Meng Huo knew it, but he just knew it. Liu Yi's usage of the chariot seemed to be different from what was recorded in the book. His voice was not high, and Wutugu, who had already opened a distance, didn't hear it at all.
After Meng Huo was silent for a moment, he looked at Mrs. Zhurong beside him and said, "Let's retreat first."
He felt that today's battle would be lost again. Even if the chariots had not started to move, the appearance alone was enough to shock. Meng Huo was surprisingly calm at this moment. Wu Tugu's attitude had already shown many problems. Even if the Han people were driven away, the southern part of the central area would probably be occupied by Wu Tugu. In this case, compared to turning this place into a territory of the Ugo Kingdom, Meng Huo was more willing to surrender to the Han people.
Besides, Wu Tugu's performance in the past few days and even covets his wife, this also made Meng Huo and his group feel rejection of Wu Tugu in their hearts. Although there has not yet been a result, Meng Huo feels that Wu Tugu is going to fall this time, so he is going to leave early to avoid being captured by Liu Yi again. Even if he comes to surrender later, it will be more decent than being captured alive again. He hates that feeling.
While speaking, in the inexplicable horror of countless vine armored soldiers, a row of Han soldiers jumped onto the chariots, raised the horse whip in their hands, and thrust them hard towards the horse's buttocks.
"Xilulu~" The war horses were in pain, raised their four hooves and began to rush forward aimlessly. Their eyes were blindfolded and they could not see the front. They ran forward based on their feelings, or there were sequences, but five or ten chariots were fixed together. Under the influence of each other, after the beginning of mutual discomfort and even pulling, the speed began to gradually accelerate and the direction began to deviate.
The soldiers who got on the chariots and urged the horse quickly jumped out of the back of the chariots after the chariots began to advance and prepared to drive away the second batch of serial vehicles.
The chariots tied together restrict the free choice of the war horses in the direction. Even if there are some deviations, they only let the chariots disperse, and the basic direction is still towards the rushing vine armored soldiers ahead.
Even if a war horse is frightened or falls dead, it cannot move towards the direction of the chariot.
Guan Xing and Zhang Bao's troops each broke out from both wings, but the speed was not fast. Their main task was to prevent the vine armored soldiers from running to both sides.
"Shoot those war horses! Kill those war horses!" Wu Tugu finally realized something was wrong, but at this time, both sides started rushing, and they couldn't dodge, so they could only shoot the horses first. At this time, there was no one driving on the opposite side, and there was no one trying to shoot people.
In fact, if a chariot can play a big role in the battlefield, and even ten chariots will not be fatal, but hundreds of chariots will charge together. In such a situation, even the invulnerable vine armored soldiers will still not be able to withstand it when they are stabbed by the protruding spear. It is quite good to be directly knocked away by the spear, and some are directly pierced by the spear or pressed by the wheels. The vine armor can be used to prevent sharp weapons but cannot be prevented from blunt attacks.
This is probably the most violent attack and the most tragic time since the formation of the army. If you look at it from the sky, the entire formation of the vine armor army was directly lifted by this serial chariot, with countless casualties and injuries, and the formation was not disappointed. This is not the worst. The worst thing is that when they finally destroyed or forced the chariots to stop at a huge price, the second row of chariots had already completed the charge and crashed towards this side with a more violent aura. The vine armor army, which had no time to rest, could only grit their teeth and push up. After another round of people overturned, they were greeted by the third and fourth rounds of chariots.
The originally rigorous formation has long lost its sense of intimidation. Even as the victorious army, as the ever-victorious army, has now faced the endless attacks of chariots, and its emotions and morale have begun to collapse and begin to flee. Guan Xing and Zhang Bao will capture the vine armor army that fled to their own side like a headless fly.
Often, three or five people deal with one, seize the opponent's weapons, and then tie the opponent down and tie them up. There are not many ways to deal with these vine armored troops, because they are invulnerable to swords and guns. Even if you surround them, it will be difficult to kill them as soon as possible.
Or two people were holding one, and the other poked the other person in the face with weapons. Liu Yi's order did not say that he could not be killed. After all, even if he killed one of them three times, it was easier than tying people. This was still when the opponent's morale was already in chaos, he had no command and started fighting on his own. Otherwise, you would not even have the chance to fight three or one.
"Roar~" On the battlefield, facing the continuous charge of chariots, watching the proud vine armored soldiers constantly disintegrating under the impact of the opponent, Wu Tugu jumped off the horse's back and roared towards the chariots that were five chariots rushing towards him. After easily avoiding the spear, he punched the oncoming horse's head. The bursting force directly twisted the horse's head. The fist left a sunken fist mark on the layer of iron armor. The war horse did not hum and was killed by his punch, but the chariot did not stop because of Wu Tugu's punch. The other four war horses were still running wildly.
Wu Tugu held the dead horse corpse, and his feet supported the ground with his feet. Under the huge force of the carriage, two bloody gullies were plowed out on the ground, but the carriage was also forced to stop under this resistance.
Turning his head and looking around, the vine armored soldiers around him died all over the place. More vine armored soldiers began to escape, but were stopped by the Han army who came out from behind. After the commander-in-chief, most of them knelt down and asked to surrender after not fierce resistance.
