Chapter 1801 solid as a rock
The terrain in Lingju is relatively flat, and this terrain is obviously the favorite of cavalry. There are no obstacles. War horses can run happily. These Xianbei cavalry have received orders in advance. Whoever is the first to break through the defense line of the Wei army is rewarded. In order to compete for this, almost all the Xianbei cavalry went all out, kicking the horse's belly with their feet and whipping the horse's butt with a whip, wishing they could rush to the Wei army's formation all at once.
All the Xianbei cavalry were a little lost and thought that this credit was within reach. But before they could rush to the front of the Wei army, rows of arrows that were as dense as rainstorms poured down from their heads. The Xianbei cavalry suddenly fell on their backs and suffered heavy casualties.
Facing a strong enemy, Ma Long certainly would not hide his weakness like in the previous battle. As soon as he started, he used the strongest weapon, the Ma family crossbow. All the border crossbow soldiers were lined up behind the ring chariot formation. After the Xianbei cavalry entered the range, they fired at the same time. Thousands of crossbows poured out tens of thousands of crossbow arrows in a short time, shooting from the formation in all directions. No matter how many Xianbei cavalry came, it would be difficult to withstand such a terrifying rain of arrows. The cavalry who rushed to the front were shot and fell down a large number of people.
If Luo Bonus's face suddenly changed drastically, it seems that what Han and his omnipotent words are true. The Wei army's arrows were very powerful. In the first wave of impact alone, the Xianbei cavalry suffered heavy losses and suffered many casualties.
At this moment, Han Qiewanneng had widened his eyes, almost all his eyes were trying out of his sockets. He could clearly feel that the intensity of the arrow rain of the Wei army this time was far beyond the Zhiyang Battle. Such a dense and terrifying arrow rain, if it were used in the last Zhiyang Battle, he would almost have been destroyed. It turns out that the Wei army was still merciless last time, and this time there were many Xianbei people, so they would have exploded in full force. It seems that the strength of the Wei army is really unfathomable.
However, no matter how dense the arrow rain is, it cannot scare Wei Beiren and cannot stop Wei Beiren's attack. The iron cavalry army stepped on the corpse and braved the arrow rain, and still rolled forward. There was no need for Luo Bo to order, Wei Bei's army was moving forward and continued to rush forward with all their might.
The Xianbei team was too dense, and the Wei army's crossbow soldiers almost didn't need to aim. As long as they aimed the bow and arrows and crossbows in front of the front, they would almost make a profit. The Xianbei people fell to the ground in rows, and lie in front of the flat cart positions, and corpses and wounded were lying.
But the wounded at this time are no big difference from dead bodies. Once they are caught in this torrent of iron hoofs, there is no possibility of survival. They are trampled by countless horse hoofs until they become meat paste.
For many Xianbei soldiers, the deaths of others can be basically ignored. As long as they can rush up and break through the defense line of the Wei army, the end of the achievements are their own. The first achievements meant a group of cattle and sheep, the most abundant pastures and piles of slaves. Such temptation drove the Xianbei soldiers to fight to the death and break through the defense line of the Wei army.
After finally reaching the front of the Wei army's chariot formation alive, they realized that the insignificant flat box truck in the distance was so tall that even if they rode on the horse, they were not as tall as the flat box truck. The whole circle of flat box trucks connected was like a thick small city wall. No matter how strong the Xianbei war horse was, there was no possibility of jumping over.
The Xianbei cavalry adopted the simplest attack method, which is collision. The Xianbei people lack the least is war horses. Under normal circumstances, a Xianbei cavalry often has two to three war horses, and takes turns to ride, and injure a war horse, and it will not be too distressed.
A war horse running at high speed can produce huge inertial impact force, while countless war horses can produce continuous impact force. Such a brutal impact method can often achieve miraculous effects. If a war horse cannot do it, then another one will be done until it breaks through the defense line of the Wei army.
The war horses rushed towards the flat box truck one by one, and hit the flat box truck hard, making a loud noise, and even the sound of the horse bones being broken could be clearly heard.
But those box trucks were not broken like Xianbei soldiers. They hit the top of the box truck, as if they had hit a stone, and only made the box truck shake, and even a piece of wood chips did not fall off.
Such a result undoubtedly made the Xianbei people feel desperate. They thought that breaking through the arrow rain would have already overcome the biggest difficulty, but they never thought that the formation of chariots standing in front of them was the real obstacle. This solid wooden wall seemed to have become an insurmountable existence, which made the Xianbei soldiers who rushed to the front of them at a loss.
But the Wei army's spearmen would not show mercy. The long spears suddenly stabbed out from the gap between the flat box trucks. Just as the Xianbei soldiers were stunned, they harvested another wave of life, and the splashed blood spilled on the car body.
The flat box of the flat box itself is made of wooden boards up to seven inches thick. When Malong built the flat box, he paid great attention to quality. All the wood selected was high-quality larch. The flat box truck made of such wooden boards was heavy and heavy, but in terms of strength, it was unparalleled.
In addition, the box of the flat box truck is filled with various supplies, which makes the flat box truck as stable as a rock. No matter how the Xianbei cavalry hit it, it remained unmoved.
Unable to break through the defense line of the Wei army, these Xianbei soldiers who rushed to the front of the flat box car formation were basically unable to escape. The ones who were stabbed to death by spears recently, and the shooting method adopted by the Wei army's crossbow soldiers made the rear of the Xianbei people miserable. As long as the Xianbei people entered the range, they were almost all in a state of being attacked. They could only curl under the shield and barely avoid the rain of arrows.
However, most of the shields used by cavalry are relatively small. They can't care about their heads, feet, people, horses, and under the scattered arrows, many Xianbei soldiers were still hit by arrows, and one fell swoop, and there were a large number of them.
Because the Xianbei soldiers who rushed to the front were unable to break through the Wei army's defense line, the Xianbei cavalry behind could no longer rush up. The entire battlefield was crowded with people and horses, which was not like a cavalry battlefield, but more like a large livestock trading market, chaotic and noisy.
On the surface, the Xianbei soldiers had surrounded the Wei army's positions, which seemed to easily destroy the Wei army's defense line, but in fact, it was difficult for them to advance at all. In front of the Wei army's positions, there were only dead bodies, but also dead bodies, all over the ground.
