Chapter 479: First Hearing of Thunder
Chapter 479: First Hearing of Thunder
Behind the chariots followed three thousand heavily armored cavalry, waving their lances and harvesting the Tatar cavalry that had escaped the chariots.
When the chariot rushed to the slope, it was already trapped in the group of Tatar cavalry and had no power to rush forward.
The next to come on stage were three thousand heavily armored cavalry.
The horse lance flashed with a cold light, and the heavy black armor came towards him in a dark manner.
Carrying heavy weapons, he crashed into the group of Tatar cavalry.
Countless cavalry rushed out of the city gate again. The 3,000 light cavalry led by Hu Jincai rushed across the suspension bridge and headed straight for the remaining Wanyan Anxu guards.
Following behind Hu Jincai's team was Lin Qiaomei's long-range attack battalion.
The 5,000-man army, when still a hundred steps away from the Tartars, drew their bows to their full extent and shot arrows diagonally upwards into the air.
A large number of feather arrows covered the sky, making the Tartars feel like the end of the world was coming.
Wanyan Anxu was dumbfounded. Why was the hole he dug so difficult to fill?
A guard quickly extended his round shield to cover Wanyan Anxu.
A hailstorm of stones fell on the shields, causing the soldiers' arms to go numb.
What shocked them was that the feather arrows were so sharp that many of them actually pierced through the shields and pierced their bodies.
Also, the feather arrows that were not blocked by the shield pierced through the armor and went into the body.
Countless Tatar soldiers were shot down by a volley of arrows.
Nearly half of the nearly two thousand guards fell down in an instant.
Wanyan Anxu was unable to grasp the situation around him and could only shout orders.
"Charge, charge forward and kill them all."
He still said the same thing.
Seeing that there were only a few people left on Wanyan Anxu's side, Lin Qiaomei immediately ordered all the soldiers to rush towards the camp.
Although Wanyan Anxu had dozens of bronze armored soldiers, there were too many Qingshui cavalry.
After resisting for a while, the pressure became too great, and they began to shrink their formation and guard around the general manager.
The Qingshui cavalry pressed forward in waves, first using crossbows to clear a path and shooting down many Tartar cavalry.
Then the steel knife was unsheathed and chopped down.
Wanyan Anxu felt that he could not resist any longer, and loudly ordered his subordinates to fight and retreat.
Li Donglai's three thousand light cavalry turned around in the camp and then charged down from the top of the slope.
Lin Qiaomei also rushed over, and a stream of feather arrows fell from mid-air into the group of Tatar cavalry.
The Tatar team is the guard of the Tiezhen royal family and the most elite team of the Tiezhen people.
They have a very strong fighting spirit and a very strong will.
Although most of the cavalry had been killed, they still fought desperately against the Qingshui cavalry.
At this time, Li Donglai's three thousand cavalry also rushed forward.
A large number of crossbow arrows were shot into the Tatar cavalry, inflicting heavy damage on them again.
This was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the warriors around them fell one by one.
The Tatars finally couldn't hold on any longer, and some of them began to retreat, looking for a way to break out.
Although the Tatars began to show signs of collapse, it was also the battle with the greatest resistance that the Shimizu team had ever encountered.
Based on previous combat experience, the Tatar army should have collapsed and fled long ago.
However, although these Tatar cavalry were defeated, they still retreated in an orderly manner without any disorder.
Shows exceptionally good psychological and tactical qualities.
The Qingshui Army's chariots and heavy armor, together with Li Donglai's 3,000 light cavalry, surrounded thousands of Tatar cavalry and attacked them fiercely.
But they were unable to break through further as their outer defenses were destroyed.
The second layer fought desperately with knives, blocking the fierce attack of the Qingshui army.
Gradually the battle became a stalemate.
Without room to increase speed, the tank loses its powerful advantage.
The heavy armored battalion repeatedly attacked the enemy, and although it caused considerable losses to the enemy, it still resisted stubbornly.
The two sides were entangled in a battle, and the Qingshui army's casualties began to increase.
The three commanders, Chu Jiao, Xie Zhong and Li Donglai, were anxious but helpless.
The Tartars are very resilient. This is the first time we have encountered such a situation.
Lin Feng took five hundred guards and Xi Niang's catapult battalion, quietly left the city and approached the battlefield.
He had already calculated that it would be difficult to defeat this group of Tatar cavalry.
It was indeed a tough nut to crack, fortunately Xi Niang had already prepared for the battle.
When they estimated that the distance was about the same, four carriages, pulling miniature versions of four catapults, stopped at the grass.
This is Lin Feng imitating the crane in his previous life. He used four logs to support the four corners of the carriage, which would make the catapult more stable.
It will not shake during operation, causing deviation in the accuracy of the catapult.
Xi Niang gave orders to several technical engineers to measure the distance and adjust the scale of the catapult.
A soldier put the black jar into the basket, held up the fire starter in his hand, and looked at Xi Niang.
Lin Feng looked at the Tatar cavalry that had gathered together and were struggling to resist the Qingshui Army's attack, and grinned.
Then he nodded to Xi Niang. The scene of them gathering together in a group was so cool.
Xi Niang waved her hand, and the soldier lit the tinder and lit the fuse on the black jar.
The soldier on the other side immediately pulled the wrench down with force.
The miniature catapult swung its arm and threw the black jar out.
No one on the battlefield noticed what they were doing, and no one looked up to see the black jar flying in the sky.
Just like that, Heitanzi fell into the group of Tatar cavalry.
First there was a flash of fire, and then a loud bang spread throughout the battlefield.
The explosion happened so suddenly.
Lin Feng improved the black jar explosives by adding gravel and iron filings into the black jar to increase its lethality.
This is the power a bomb should have.
The Tatar cavalry, who had never fought in a team, tasted the sweetness of mutual defense this time.
The Tatar war group that had originally gathered together was the safest area, but it became the worst-hit area.
The explosion was raging, and countless people and horses were blown into the air by the air waves. When they soared into the sky, they were already broken into pieces.
The Tartars within the explosion range were also hit by countless iron chips and gravel, and fell off their horses with screams.
A black jar exploded, knocking over all the Tatar cavalry within a radius of dozens of steps.
Hundreds of war horses were turned into corpses in an instant.
Just this one blow made the Tatar cavalry lose their ability to resist.
No one had ever seen such a weird and cruel war scene. On the periphery, the Tartars, with blood sprayed all over their heads and faces, stared blankly at their comrades who were shattered into pieces in the blink of an eye.
There were also those who were hit on the body or face by a leg or a hand.
The first black jar exploded, and the Tartars were still in a daze.
When the second black jar exploded among the group of cavalry, the Tatar cavalry turned around and ran away.
Each of them looked for their direction, rode their horses with all their might, and fled for their lives.
Even Wanyan Anxu, who was five miles away, was startled by the explosion.
The earth was shaking.
Is this...Lin Feng's thunder?
Is this thing really there?
Just a moment of sluggishness, and several guards in front were killed.
Wanyan Anxu looked into the distance anxiously, and saw smoke and dust rising in the sky.
"Everyone, retreat to the camp."
