Turbulent Times Chapter 1566: The demeanor of the horse thief king in the Western Regions

I have to say that Li Shimin is a man of great wisdom. He acts decisively and has a long-term vision. bound by the regulations.

In short, Li Shimin deserves to be the son of destiny chosen by heaven. With his vigorous promotion, the Li Yuan Group imitated all kinds of equipment of the Far Eastern Army. Although the core equipment such as gunpowder weapons is very strict and closely guarded , except for the harvest, other trebuchets, giant guns, and crossbows have been imitated in sevens and eighty-eight, and even things like the rapid fire crossbow have been imitated and built, but the Far Eastern Army's rapid fire burst is nine bursts. Crossbow, Li Shimin asked people to build a three-shot burst crossbow.

Fortunately, the weapons and equipment production base near Taiyuan established by Li Shimin has always been difficult to get out a steel factory like the Far East Army, so it is difficult to produce steel plate armor on a large scale. Bigger and more visible.

But even if it only imitated part of it, it would greatly improve the combat effectiveness of Li Yuan's army, and at this time Wu Si felt the threat of the opponent's improvement.

"Liu Hongji, the dog day, actually has this kind of giant guns and crossbows. Fortunately, there are no hundred-shot crossbows and gunpowder packs!" A dozen or so soldiers in his own position were knocked into the air, revealing a gap, Wu Si was slightly startled, and at the same time couldn't help yelling.

One hour earlier, or in less than two hours by Liu Hongji, the outer positions of the Pegasus Battalion of the Far Eastern Army had been destroyed, the trenches had been filled, the parapets had been torn down, and the two sides were about to enter a hand-to-hand battle .

Of course, the Li family army led by Liu Hongji also paid a very painful price for this, with more than 5,000 people killed or injured.

At this time, the center of the double-layered circular formation is where Wu Si's central army is located. The square arrow formation composed of 5,000 warriors holding steel string bows keeps throwing arrows out of the circular formation. Dozens of sharp arrows are densely planted under my feet. With this shooting frequency, if the steel-string bow specially made by the Far Eastern Army is not equipped with a winding machine, you can shoot more than a dozen arrows with your strong arms.

After the support, the muscles will become sore and the bones will be numb.

But even so, every time the archers of the Pegasus Battalion shot twenty, their arms would become sore and tired, and they had to rotate to the next group to let the previous group rest for a while.

Therefore, Wu Si couldn't help worrying that if the circle formation was broken, these archers would have to take their long spears to battle.

From time to time, stone bullets fired from trebuchets fell on the square formation, bringing up a cloud of blood. The archers who were hit would definitely not be able to survive. The personnel immediately dragged the dead away, the wounded were treated on the spot, and the archers immediately filled up.

Everything is tense and orderly. This is the combat mode of the Far East Army, which already has the embryonic form of the professional army of later generations.

In the gaps outside the circle are trebuchets and giant crossbow guns, which have never stopped firing, causing great damage to the Li family army, especially the gunpowder packs, every time they are fired, they will seriously damage the morale of the enemy army Big hit.

However, because the Pegasus Battalion came through the Luliang Mountains as cavalry at that time, and they were lightly armed at the time, they did not bring many gunpowder packs.

Furthermore, Hedong and Guanzhong under the rule of the Li Yuan Group are also different from when the Far Eastern Army attacked the Wagang Army in the Central Plains. It is obvious that they are very good at learning lessons from others. Nowadays, Hedong, Guanzhong and other areas under the Li Yuan Group's management are very strict. Whether it is the Fanyang Chamber of Commerce or the Xiaoyu Theater, it is too difficult to transport all kinds of weapons and weapons without anyone noticing. Even if it can be successful, the number of each time will not be too much.

On the contrary, it is safe for the navy to bypass the Goguryeo Peninsula and pass through the Turkic territory, or directly pass through Youzhou, and transport it from the Turkic territory.

It’s just that the distance is so long and it takes a long time. Although Mayi County has stockpiled some various equipment and equipment, there are not many gunpowder bags left. Zhou Hu, Su Changqing, Jiang Mulang, Li Xiang, Niu Jinda and others still had to be divided.

However, at this time, the ten Hundred-Fat Crossbow Chariots hidden on the second floor of the circle by the Pegasus Battalion of the Far Eastern Army have not shown their power yet.

Hard resistance for an hour

Afterwards, the thick circular array has been sliced ​​off one layer. Looking at the position of the sun in the sky, and then looking behind Liu Hongji, there is still silence. Wu Si can't help but feel worried, looking around like waves The enemy army that was rushing in couldn't help muttering to themselves: "Luo Shixin, I will wait for you for another half an hour. If you don't come, I will take people on horseback and fight with cavalry tactics. It will be difficult to wipe out the enemy at that time. This is impossible. Blame me."

"Slay the wolf!" he yelled.

Being used to horse thieves, I have always liked cavalry charges. Thieves don't like this kind of defensive battle. Shapolang is like an ant on a hot pot. Pull out the knife and insert it back, then draw it out and insert it back, watching the companions beside you desperately, I can only watch from the sidelines, this feeling of a cat scratching my heart is more painful than being stabbed, when I was in a hurry, I suddenly heard Wu Si's shout, I jumped up immediately, ran to Wu Si in a few steps, and shouted: "The subordinates are here!"

Wu Si squinted at him and said, "I wanted to wait for Luo Shixin to lead the Whirlwind Battalion before I let you charge. I didn't want the 50,000 troops led by Liu Hongji to be stronger than we imagined. It seems that we can't wait." Stop, take your people to charge once, remember, don't charge too deep, otherwise you will not be able to return if you go deep into the enemy's line."

Sha Polang was overjoyed and said, "This subordinate understands!"

Before he finished speaking, Sha Polang turned around and ran out, and shouted at his five thousand cavalry from afar: "Get on your horse."

5,000 of the best horse thieves in the world have undergone the training of the Far Eastern Army, which is very different from the past. They immediately got on the horse at the fastest speed, and took off the spears hanging from the saddle.

Shapolang pointed his spear and roared, "Charge!"

A gap was formed in the circular formation, and Liu Hongji, who was besieging here, was relieved of pressure, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, thinking that the enemy army could no longer hold on, and immediately swarmed in along the gap of more than ten feet. But immediately after these soldiers from the Li family who rushed forward changed their expressions drastically, they looked at the front in fear, and a group of cavalry was rushing towards them fiercely.

"Kill!" Shapolang came galloping like a demon god, knocking the enemies in front of him into the air, stabbing out the spears in his hand, every time he retracted, it meant that a life was harvested and go.
