Chapter 443 Hit the muzzle (seven thousand words, so it's too late)(2/2)

King Shao Ge narrowed his eyes and his momentum was suffocated, but he also had rich experience in the battlefield and decisively issued a death order to let the troops continue to rush!

"I heard that the Han people's ten-arrow crossbows were reloaded after firing ten arrows, which was slower than ordinary crossbows! Go quickly! Assault the spear! Punch down all the shield hands on the car formation! The rear row gathered to shoot the Han army's commander chariots!"

The length of the spear of the Qiang cavalry in Xiliang has always been known as the longest among all races of cavalry. In history, Cao Cao lamented that the Western Liang soldiers were good at using spears, and the cavalry's guns could charge against the guns of the Guandong infantry. The confidence of King Kewu of Shaoge is not unreasonable. They felt that they had rushed in front of them, so how could they not fight to the death?

Unfortunately, another incident surprised them the next moment.

In the first row of the car, each car extended four or five spears (the cars in the rear row of the car do not need to leave melee soldiers, they are all concentrated in the front row of cars on the outside, so there are so many soldiers, on average, Li Su has less than four soldiers in a car)

The length of these spears far exceeds the imagination of King Shao Ge and others. There is also a very tough quadrangular head on the head, which has no weakness of bending from any angle.

"Who has used such a long gun formation to deal with the cavalry? This is impossible!" King Shao Ge and others were shocked, but they had already seen many of their cavalry being stabbed by super spears that were more than two or five feet tall, and they screamed and fell off the horse.

The spears are thin because the wooden poles at the front end are otherwise too thick, and the soldiers cannot lift the spear head because of the lever principle. Therefore, the strength of the spear rod seems to be insufficient. When they are hit by the cavalry who rushed up at full speed, they will be assassinated by people or horses, and the spear rods will also be broken one after another.

However, the one-time super-long wooden spear can directly replace the life of a Qiang soldier, which is very cost-effective no matter how you look at it.

Even if five super long wooden sticks are exchanged for a life, it is a huge profit. Who made Li Suyou's lathe with wood peeling? This kind of thing can be used by craftsmen in a few minutes.

The Qiang kings were willing to exchange half an hour of labor for the Han craftsmen for their lives for the lives of other tribesmen. Even if they came, they would exchange as much as they could.

Anyway, Li Su's convoy has a lot of inventory, which is far more than one per soldier, because these weapons are not prepared for them themselves, but for the main front-line troops. After the scrap is cut, it can be processed into several pieces of javelins, without wasting.

After a bloody cavalry of land armor and leather jackets hit the hedgehog formation tragically, the last expectation of the Kings of Shaoge was that the soldiers who suddenly came close could focus on breaking through the Han army's flag formation, commanding the chariots, and beheading the Han army.

Unfortunately, Dian Wei personally took the most intense position in front of Li Sushuai's car, and the two iron halberds flew up and down, killing the Qiang cavalry who rushed up without eyes.

Hundreds of elite guards in iron armor were surrounded by horse-slaying swords and pyramid guns fighting hard. After the two wing crossbows were loaded, they crossed fire and shot again, almost slaughtering Qiang cavalry who wanted to break through the flag formation.

Thousands of arrows that the Qiang soldiers had high hopes were shot at Li Su's huge silver-shining car under the shooting of the shooters' desperate approach. Unfortunately, they all bounced away with a "ding-ding" sound.

It turned out that after the Battle of Jincheng, Li Su felt that his car, which had been twice as thick as others and was three inches thick, was not safe enough (and other cars did not require wood material, Li Su also specially chose hard oak and mahogany to make it). So during the month of Jincheng, he asked someone to wrap a layer of thin iron on the outside of the car.

But the iron sheet is too new and has not yet formed a dense oxide layer, turning into a black "black armor", which makes it look as bright as the Mingguang armor.

In addition, Li Su felt that the roof of the car was not perfect to cover it with a tent, after all, the tent could be shot through. So he also installed additional cushion plates that could be flipped up on both sides. This cushion plates can not only be blocked by a vertical angle, but also can be flipped inward. Finally, the cushion plates that flipped inward on both sides together can form a top similar to a turtle boat.

When the Qiang soldiers outside shot at the three-meter-long iron cart, Li Su had an extra layer of protection in the car - he and his wife hid in the stone bathtub transported with the car. Even if the iron and three-inch oak were shot through, he still had arrows on the stone bathtub.

As long as it is not hit by a catapult, no one can do anything to him.

King Shaoge and King Kewu were bound by the sunken costs he had invested at the beginning, and were reluctant to leave. They were not willing to leave until they took turns to attack without success, and thousands of tribes died in front of the chariot formation, and then they began to waver and retreat.

All the Han army's crossbows were fully fired, not only shooting at the Qiang cavalry, but also crazily covered the ordinary old and weak tribes who were originally following behind to pick up things, causing huge casualties to those tribes that were not eyebrowed.

The final general collapse was when King Shaoge personally supervised the formation, and was shot by the Han crossbowmen. Even King Qiang and the cavalry of the personal guards were almost all taken away. The Qiang soldiers completely disintegrated and faded away like a tide.

"These Han soldiers are all crazy! Five thousand people can withstand tens of thousands of us! I can't fight anymore!" The Qiang soldiers who were beaten crazy roared and retreated in a broken spirit, trampling on each other.

Li Su waited for a while, and saw that there was no movement outside, so he asked the messenger to call Dian Wei back and ordered: "Quick! Take more horses left by the Qiang soldiers and see how many of them were not shot dead or broken. Let the soldiers remove the head of the damaged pyramid gun and close it alone. The broken pole will be closed. Then the car will be shorter and can be used again."

Dian Wei took the order and left.

Wang Ping, who was covered in blood, also took a deep breath and sighed: "The right general really predicts the enemy as good as a god, and is prepared for any trouble. This is what the military strategy says about treating those who are unaware of the unexpected victory."

Wang Ping rarely reads, but he still reads books with combat experience, and mainly asks the literate people invited by the clan to read them to him.
