When the last ray of sunset disappeared on the horizon, the cavalry lit a pile of horse manure. These horse manures were "revealed" by war horses and were not easy to ignite, but mixed with hay and gunpowder, it would be easy to burn at a little fire.

A stream of smoke with a fishy smell rose from the horse manure pile, wrapped in the northwest wind, and drifted towards the vehicle array dozens of steps down the wind.

At more than twenty steps north of the horse manure pile, soldiers have assembled the specially made large crossbows, totaling fifty-five. These large crossbows can be divided into three parts: crossbow bed, crossbow arms, and crossbow strings, which are easy to carry and are also very convenient to assemble.

Such a large crossbow can fire arrows, but at this time it is about to launch a few pounds of thunder, with a range of nearly a hundred steps, just outside the effective attack range of the enemy archers.

The fire twists of the sky-bombing thunder used by the large crossbow are of a specific length, which not only ensures that most sky-bombing thunders will not explode in advance in mid-air, but also ensures that most sky-bombing thunders will explode soon after they land.

A large crossbow must be operated by four strong soldiers, including winding, fifty-five large crossbows, which requires at least 220 soldiers. Behind the large crossbow are baskets of special sky-blasting thunders.

Everything was ready, but the first round of fire was not a bombing thunder, but a fire bomb with tinder oil. When the bombing with a weight of about the bombing thunder was ignited, with a command, the crossbowmen struggled to smash the machine, and a whistling sound came out, and a large number of fireballs rushed out.

These fireballs drew arcs in the air, like meteors crossing the sky, leaving behind shining trajectories and finally fell to the ground. Some fireballs fell in the field, while others fell in the enemy's vehicle array.

The flashing flames reflected the dark outline of the enemy's vehicle array. The second and third rounds of fire ejected out, making the outline of the vehicle array more and more obvious. The crossbowmen observed the target through the horse manure smoke, fine-tuned the large crossbow, and began to fire thunder.

The endless thunder exploded in the wilderness. Under the attacks of the sky-blasting thunder, the enemy's vehicle array was covered by fire and thick smoke. You could vaguely see panicked figures in the fire and hear all kinds of noises.

Maybe the enemy soldiers were blown upside down, maybe the enemy soldiers were busy putting out fires, or maybe the enemy soldiers were busy repairing damaged carriages, this scene was very wonderful for the soldiers on the attacking side.

They didn't have to fight with the enemy at all, they just stood quietly a hundred steps away, watching their big crossbow attack the chariot formation unscrupulously. If any enemy soldiers attempted to fight the beasts and sneaked out to try to fight back, they would let them go without a return.

The fire in the car array gradually became bigger, reflecting the night sky red, and also reflecting Yuchi Dun's eyes. He looked at the scene in front of him and remembered Chai Village that had been half a year ago.

In that battle, he had nearly 20,000 cavalry, and most of the enemies trapped in Chai Village were mainly infantry. He could not have lost, but in the end he lost. If he thought about it carefully, the biggest problem was that there were fewer thunder belts on the sky.

Because there was insufficient thunder in the sky and could not attack quickly, Yuchi Dun could only let the cavalry dismount and attack on foot, and attack Chai Village in a round-route and continuous attack, but was killed by the leisurely enemy.

Not only that, the opponent also sought opportunities to rush out, and took advantage of various obstacles to defeat the cavalry sent by Yuchi Dun again, causing heavy casualties.

Thinking of that crushing defeat, Yuchi Dun was so angry that he gritted his teeth. After he suffered a loss, he would never take another second. In this battle, he specially ordered craftsmen to build a large crossbow that could be disassembled, assembled and carried, to deal with the enemy soldiers who were hiding and defending.

The soldiers also took risks and carried a large number of special thunderstorms. Everything was to knock the turtle shell open.

A thunder weighing several pounds has limited lethality and cannot even kill people close to you, but it can break the enemy's fingers, damage the enemy's body, blind the enemy's eyes, and shake the opponent's mouth and nose bleeding, causing him to lose his combat ability.

The flames generated when the explosion of the Sky Thunder can also ignite the enemy's clothes, ignite carriages, and flammable things in the camp. In order to surprise Yuwen Wen, Yuchi Dun invested a lot of money and consumed a lot of gunpowder to make this special size Sky Thunder.

Yuchi Dun did not believe that the enemy troops who were in a hurry would carry a large crossbow. Even if the opponent rushed to make a catapult, it would not be possible to make a lot of them in a hurry, so he could only be beaten and not fight back.

Facts have proved that his judgment was correct. The enemy's vehicle formation has not counterattacked so far, allowing the sky to thunder and fire bombs to fall into the vehicle formation one by one explode, burning, and have no power to fight back.

Looking at the enemy's miserable situation, Yuchi Dun was very happy. If possible, he really wanted to let the big crossbow continue to attack the enemy's formation, and last for a whole night, and to clean the battlefield directly at dawn.

I took a closer look at whether Yu Wen Wen's body was among the broken limbs and broken arms everywhere.

However, the number of thunderstorms is limited and it is impossible to support the attack all night, so the soldiers have to fight bloody battles to solve the opponent.

The burning horse manure pile gradually stopped, the smoke became smaller, the sound of trumpets and drums sounded, and the brave men who were ready began to approach the enemy's vehicle formation, as the first to board the formation, and launched an attack on the vehicle formation from the east, west and north directions.

The besieged troops must be missing, and they stay in the south alone without attacking. It is precisely to dismantle the fighting spirit of the enemy soldiers. When the opponent cannot withstand the fierce attack, there will always be soldiers who will flee to the unattacked south, one, two, three, and then the entire army collapses.

The distance between the two sides was shortened to fifty steps, and the crossbow stopped firing thunder. Suddenly, the sound of horns sounded in the car array. Then the sound of bowstrings sounded, and arrows were like rain. The brave man who was approaching the car array held a shield and a temporary shield, and continued to move forward in the rain of arrows.

There were also a large number of dismounted cavalrymen, who were wearing two armors and not avoiding arrows, and directly bent their bows and arrows to shoot with crossbowmen in the formation.

Many brave men fell down by arrows, and the crossbowmen behind the carriage were also very casualties. When the distance between the two sides was less than twenty steps, they threw thunder at the same time.

The thunder suddenly sounded, and the fire flashed outside the car array. In the thick smoke, the brave man with blood-stained armor struggled to approach the car array. With the firelight, they saw several strange obstacles outside the car array.

It is said that during the Battle of Chai Village, the enemy guarding Chai Village used a strange obstacle. According to witnesses, this obstacle seemed to be made of iron wire, wrapped in iron caltrops, and the iron wire ran across the ground in circles, like a snake's belly.

These obstacles are not only like thorny trees, but also cut with a knife, but are not easy to cut off when they are anxious.

Now, the enemy has indeed laid out such obstacles again, but now is different from the past. Because the brave men have been prepared for a long time, many people throw iron claws at these snake-shaped iron thorns under the cover of their companions, and then pull the rope tied to the end of the iron claws backwards.

In the east, west and north directions, many brave men used their iron claws to pull the iron thorns outwards. However, these iron thorns were nailed to the ground by many wooden stakes and could not be pulled by human power.

But this is not a problem for the brave, because they have another means: if they don’t have enough manpower, they will get the horsepower.

The rope tied to the iron claws is very thick and long. The other end of the rope is an iron ring. There are ten hemp ropes on the iron ring, tied to the ten war horses.

People cannot pull the iron thorns, but horses can. Many iron claws are plucked on the iron thorns. Behind each iron claw are ten horses. The iron thorns are pulled by so many horses, and gradually are pulled up. The wooden stakes that fix the iron thorns are pulled out one by one.

Seeing that the iron thorns (barbed wire) were about to be pulled away, several archers leaned out from behind the carriage, pulled out arrows and raised them into crescent-shaped feathered arrows, aiming at these straight ropes.

Although the vision was not good, the archers just glanced roughly and loosened the bowstrings. The thick ropes were shot one after another, and the archers who shot the ropes were then shot down by feather arrows flying from the outside.

The battle continued and became more and more intense. In order to break through and protect the barriers, the attack and defense sides filled a large number of lives. The soldiers of the attacking party rushed in like a tide, rushing to the chariot formation regardless of everything, like storm waves slamming on the reef.

Explosions were heard one after another, and countless flames emerged in the chariot, but were then extinguished. The tenacious crossbowman behind the chariot shot against the archers outside the formation regardless of casualties. Another soldier in heavy armor rushed out of the chariot and fought with the brave man who was trying to break the barrier.

There were more and more corpses on the ground, and the barbed wire outside the chariot array disappeared through repeated pulling. The barriers formed by the carriages and carriages became the last line of defense for the soldiers in the chariots.

The sound of horse hooves came, and there were many cavalrymen rushing towards the chariot formation in the east, west and north directions. The mounts under their crotch were wearing horse armor, so they were not afraid of arrows. The war horse carried several ignited thunders of fire, and directly hit the chariot formation in front of them.

Less than ten steps away, the cavalry turned over and jumped off the war horse, and then there was a loud noise. A large amount of smoke was raised on all sides of the chariot formation, and a gap was blown out on the west side.

The fragments of the carriage flew everywhere, mixed with broken limbs and broken arms. The brave men shouted and rushed towards the gap to take the lead in attacking the formation. Even if this was definitely a life-and-death death, no one hesitated.

If you use your life to exchange military merits, you will be the first to enter the battle, and you will be given double pensions if you die. If you survive, you can change your own and your family's destiny. With such a heavy reward, there will be no shortage of brave men.

As the smoke filled the car, the sound of howling sounds in the car array, and balls of fire rushing into the sky one by one, then turned into huge fireworks, illuminating the ground while illuminating the ground.

The tiger-head flag with black background and white patterns appeared under the light, and loud shouts sounded on the inside of the broken mouth. In the fire, countless skeleton people rushed out, their ferocious appearance, which made the brave men who were about to break the formation stunned.

The soldiers of the Hulin Army War Storm, who were tall and two armored, held various weapons, wore skeleton masks to fight. In blood and fire, they took the lead in launching counterattacks on the enemy who was trying to break in.

......

In the early morning, the battle continued, and the riddled car formation still stood tenaciously in the wilderness, while the tide-like attack still did not stop. The attacking party was full of troops and had no intention of slowing down at all.

The firelight and the thick smoke array were everywhere, like a piece of fat meat falling on the ground, attracting countless ants to chew around, and the battle will end in unknown time.

From dark to now, both sides of the offense and defense have not stopped. Corporations are piled up near the car formation, blood is sprayed, and fire is soaring into the sky. The attacking party breaks through several times and intercepts and enters the formation. Before they have time to expand the results, they are repelled.

The autumn wind blows gently, bringing a strong smell of blood. Yuwen Wen, who has not yet had a rest, was listening to the summary of the battle situation. He didn't care about his own casualties, he just wanted the result.

People will die when fighting, and there may be more casualties on your own side. As long as the defense line is complete, as long as there are reserve teams, and as long as there are soldiers, he can continue to hold on.

The war is about enduring. It is about enduring people's lives. It depends on who can't stand it first. Yuwen Wen looked around the east, west and north directions, watching the fire flashing, and listening to the shouts, he couldn't help but sigh.

Fortunately, the opponent's long-range attack weapon was a large crossbow rather than a cannon, otherwise his chariot formation would have been finished long ago.

Infantry phalanxes in the era of cold weapons, and in the contemporary technically advanced attacking parties will inevitably suffer major casualties if they want to break the enemy head-on, but once the artillery appears, the cold weapons phalanxes will be over.

Solid shells driven by chemical energy can pull blood marks into the square array. The appearance of each blood mark means that a large number of square troops are killed. Although the power of the front-mounted artillery is not as powerful as "one cannon will be destroyed for dozens of miles", it can easily defeat the square array.

When the Age of Hot Weapons arrived, the typical tactic was to use cavalry to suppress the enemy and force the opponent to shrink his troops and arrange himself in a large array to protect himself. Then he pulled out his artillery and fought against the large array for several rounds, and the opponent collapsed.

Yuwen Wen was extremely glad that he had not "invented" the cannon. Otherwise, with the situation at that time and the speed of technology spreading, he would not only not be able to sweep the world with this, but would probably be used by others to deal with him.

Tonight, his car array was bombarded by thunder and lightning projected by enemy crossbows. This combination of hot and cold weapon did not break through the thinking barriers. Although it caused considerable damage to one's own side, it could not have a decisive impact on the battle.

If it weren't forcing the battle to force the battle, Yuwen Wen's team could also be equipped with a large number of large crossbows, which could also eject the opponent's sky thunder as a counterattack.

But such a counterattack is meaningless. The enemy has many cavalry. He knew that even if he destroyed the enemy's crossbow, he could not turn around the situation because the opponent relied on cavalry.

Generally, long-range weapons battles are just the first prize, and hand-to-hand combat is the key, because "dare to fight hand-to-hand" is the touchstone to test the quality of an army. This day and night battle situation once again proves that Yuwen Wen's soldiers are strong soldiers.

At the same time, the enemy's performance shows that the other party has learned the lesson of Chaicun's defeat.

During the Battle of Chai Village, the Hulin Army used a variety of defensive methods to defend against the enemy, including barbed wire mesh. The opponent used iron claws to pluck the barbed wire mesh, which was obviously well prepared. People in this era just didn't know much about him, but it did not mean that the other party was stupid.

Even so, Yuwen Wen was not panicked. The enemy had the advantage in number and the attack was like waves. His own car array was approaching the verge of collapse. Yuwen Wen, who was in danger, was still calm.

The second round of defense line pieced together with all kinds of debris has been built. If the enemy breaks through the chariot formation, then he will shrink his troops and continue to survive on the second line, but before that, he will have to be a "weapon of mass destruction".

On the mound where the central army was located, a simple wooden platform was built on the top of the hill, which could be used as a lookout or an altar.

Torches have been lit at the four corners of the southeast, west and northeast of the wooden platform, making the wooden platform very conspicuous in the darkness. People can notice this wooden platform within hundreds of steps around.

The righteous Taoist Master Wang, with a face full of righteousness, had a peach wood seven-star sword in his right hand, a gilded soul-catching bell in his left hand, a Taoist robe, a purple gold crown on his head, and walked towards the wooden platform with Tiangang Steps. He followed the left and right guardians, which were for "eating date chicken" and "pills and eggs".
