Chapter two hundred and eighty third
The cavalry rushed out of the thick smoke were getting closer and closer to the left wing of Yuwen's army. The "Meteor Fire Rain" that had been launched in the formation had consumed most of the time, and the rest could not be launched again, because it was too late to adjust in a hurry.
The use of "Meteor Fire Rain" is limited, and it takes a lot of time to put it on a separate rack. Once it is installed, the range and direction will be fixed. If you want to change the launch angle and direction, you have to adjust it one by one.
With a distance of several miles, the galloping horses can be completed soon. The "Meteor Fire Rain" is no longer reliable. The left-wing cavalry guarding the left army attacked and faced the surging enemy cavalry, and arranged for the soldiers to "hundred tigers running together" to fight for time.
"Hundred Tigers Run Together" is a gunpowder weapon. Craftsmen put a hundred arrows with gunpowder cartridges in a wooden barrel-shaped launch device, and the gunpowder cartridges are connected by the main medicine line. During combat, point the launch device at the enemy and ignite the main medicine line. The arrows will fly out like bees to kill the enemy.
At the same time, there are bamboo whistles on each arrow, so when the "hundred tigers run together" are sounded and light, and the movement is very loud.
"Hundred tigers run together" originated from the gunpowder weapon "swalking in a swarm", which is actually a large-scale "swalking in a swarm". The weapon "swalking in a swarm" was put into use ten years ago. After years of improvement, the army in Shannan has achieved the current "swalking in a swarm".
The range of "Hundred Tigers Run Together" and "One Swarm" is similar, not very far, and its direct lethality is not as good as that of "Meteor Fire Rain". It mainly relies on the huge sound and explosive fire to scare the war horses, which has a good effect on approaching cavalry.
The soldiers pushed the "hundred tigers running together" mounted on the two-wheeled chariots, and took advantage of the precious time they fought for their cavalry to intercept the enemy cavalry, and lined up a horizontal formation on the flank of the left army. As soon as they were ready, many enemy cavalry had already broken through the interception and rushed towards them.
Without further ado, the generals ordered the ignition. After a while, the fire flashed in front of the wooden boxes on the small cart, and thick smoke was pouring out. A large number of fire arrows roared towards the enemy cavalry ahead, covering them instantly.
A large amount of smoke covered the ground. When the soldiers who operated "hundreds of tigers ran together" were about to cheer, they heard the sound of horse hooves constantly, and the ground seemed to tremble, and countless black shadows rushed out of the smoke.
The enemy cavalry was caught with color, and even the horse's hair was flashing. The enemy cavalry, who was directly hit by the "Hundred Tigers Running Together", charged forward regardless of casualties. The mount under the crotch was not disturbed by the loud noise of "Hundred Tigers Running Together". Even if he was injured, he continued to run forward.
The cavalry on it held a lit long incense in their mouths and held a strange long pole. There was a large bamboo tube at the front end of the long pole, and the fire twists leaked from the edges had been lit by the cavalry with a ignition.
The long pole held by the Bingzhou cavalry was called "Fire Spear". A bamboo tube was inserted into the top of the spear. It was a gunpowder weapon that had always been confidential and was also the killer weapon of the Bingzhou army. The cavalry held this fire spear and aimed the front at a large number of Yuwen army archers and spear soldiers who had crossed the "hundred tigers running together" and the speed of the spear soldiers remained unabated.
The distance between the two sides was approaching, and the archers had only time to fire a round of arrows and retreated behind the spearmen. Seeing that the distance between them was only twenty or thirty steps away, the sudden fire spear in the hands of the Bingzhou cavalry suddenly erupted with flames, thick smoke and sounds.
The sound was like the "crackling" sound when firecrackers were burning during the Chinese New Year. The sand and gravel contained in the bamboo tube at the front of the fire spear was driven by the gunpowder sprayed in the tube and rushed towards the spear soldiers thirty steps away.
The spearmen were so dazed by this sudden attack that many people were wearing goggles, but the goggles were smashed by sand and gravel, and they were blind in an instant, and then their positions were in chaos.
After running thirty steps, it was just a matter of several breaths for the galloping war horses. The Bingzhou cavalry rushed straight into the chaotic spear with a fire spear in his hand, and the winner was soon decided.
The spearmen suffered heavy casualties, and the newly organized defense line was broken. The Bingzhou cavalry defeated it like a wind and swept the clouds and continued to assault forward.
......
At the northern end of the battlefield, the Yuchi army's main formation sounded drums again. The commander Yuchi Youqi ordered the rear army to join the battle, intending to fight hard and make a breakthrough in the middle.
When fighting, whoever joins the army first means who is exhausted first. Generally speaking, only when the front army cannot withstand, the rear army needs to be suppressed. When the war reaches this point, Yuchi Youqi knows that if he cannot break the deadlock first, the situation will be bad.
His carefully planned "air attack" was originally thought to give the enemy a decisive blow, but not only did it fail, but even those "flying bags" were defeated by the enemy with inexplicable weapons without even flying through their own formation.
The onset of fire "flying bag" fell into its own formation, and the sky-burning thunder in the hanging basket exploded one after another, causing considerable casualties. Fortunately, our side responded properly and did not lose its own way.
This made Yuchi Youqi feel like "stealing chickens but losing rice", and he was not sure if the other party had any strange weapons not used.
If you use it, how can you resist it?
Yuchi Youqi didn't know the answer, so he could only seek change. Now that things have come to this, he has no way to turn the situation around.
His cousin Yuchi Qin had launched an attack from the west and successfully broke into the enemy's left wing. He could see clearly through the Qianli Miles, so he had to seize this opportunity to assault the enemy from the front and oppress the opponent's central army.
Create as many opportunities as possible so that Yuchi Qin can break into the enemy formation from the flank.
Since we are going to attack, we naturally cannot hide it. Many special large crossbows shot up the sky-blasting thunders forward in the formation. One by one, the ignited sky-blasting thunders drew arcs in the air, crossed the heads of our soldiers, landed behind the enemy, and exploded one after another.
Taking this opportunity, the soldiers of the Yuchi army fought forward and attacked hard. The smoke filled the gunpowder, and the blood was flashing, the tight Yuwen army formation was actually loosened by them.
......
In the southern section of the battlefield, Yuwen's army was in the main formation. Yu Wenming had just received the commander of the left army and sent someone to an emergency, saying that the enemy cavalry broke in and the situation was not good. Before he could give an order, the central army sent someone to an emergency, saying that the enemy was striving to attack and attempting to break through the central government, which seemed to have already suppressed the rear army.
It is obvious that the Yuchi side has made efforts. If you want to break through your own formation in one go, Yu Wenming knew that if he dealt with it improperly, it would likely cause irreversible consequences.
The enemy troops on the west side were so strong that they were beyond Yu Wenming's expectations. He clearly saw the "Meteor Fire Rain" he had launched to cover the enemy cavalry, but as a result, there was another wave of cavalry on the other side who could continue to charge.
In this way, this would not be the garrison of Yecheng. It should have been Yuchi Qin, who should have been in Pujin, who led the Bingzhou cavalry to arrive.
The main forces of the Yuchi family have gathered in Yecheng, which can be said to be doing their best, or in other words, they are still fighting for trapped beasts.
So, as long as you win this battle, the Yuchi family will be really finished!
Yu Wenming thought so, without any panic. For this battle, he tossed and turned for countless nights, carefully planned and made every preparation, and had absolute confidence in the final victory.
Such confidence cannot be shaken by the slightest downside of war?
There were sounds of fighting, explosions, and horns in his ears. Yu Wenming looked up at the sky, and saw the sun set west, looking down at the left and right, but saw that all the generals were looking at him.
"Since the enemy has already suppressed the rear army, our army cannot fall behind." Yu Wenming said, "They actually made fire-breaking weapons? That's right, let's see whose fire-breaking weapons are powerful!"
