【Chapter 744】 Thunder
The setting sun shines, and the red sunset covers half of the sky.
The setting sun, half-covered and still wanted to leave, was as charming as a beautiful woman, which made countless literati and poets feel passionate and freely express their literary talent, and enjoy it.
The setting sun is warm and beautiful as a painting on the Loudi Plain.
There are fierce troops under Hangu Pass, flags are flying, and the soldiers are as powerful as prison.
The evening outfit of the setting sun is infinitely good, bathing in the mountains and rivers;
How many heroes looked up, but the sunset was unintentionally in the country.
????????
The sunset hangs in the west mountain, and the afterglow reflects the wasteland.
"The crossbowman stepped forward, volleyed ten rounds, and released!"
"Where is the chariot????????Crash the formation!"
On the Central Army of the Western Liang Army, as Guo Jia waved the order flag, the commander of the rear army, Bo Cai, watched the order.
The general orders were spreading the entire army with the loud shouts of the commanders. The crossbow camp that had already arrived in front of the formation came out of the line, advancing fifty steps ahead, and then arranged in a cross formation. The crossbow chariots were at the forefront, and thousands of crossbow soldiers were raising bows and preparing momentum. When the wave shouted the word "动", all the crossbows moved in response, and the thunder strings were shocked. The black arrows suddenly rushed to the high altitude, and then headed straight for hundreds of chariots that were galloping in front of the Allied formation and tilted down.
At the same time, five hundred chariots who heard Bo Cai's order came out of the formation and rushed out from the wings of the cavalry. After passing the soldiers of the Bow and Crossbow Camp, they quickly gathered in the middle, and then ran wildly, facing the Allied chariots.
It is worth mentioning that most of the Western Liang army's chariots were double-horse chariots, and the horses were wearing armor. Each chariot had four heavy armored infantry holding halberds. While running, two armored soldiers drove the horses and ran, and the other two were holding halberds and ready to attack.
In contrast, although the number of Allied chariot formations is large, as many as thousands, twice that of Xiliang chariot formations; but there are only one hundred chariots on the two horses, all of which are single horses, but there are still four soldiers on the chariots. In other words, these more than 1,000 chariots carry no less than five thousand Allied soldiers, and their strength is still twice that of Xiliang chariot soldiers.
In addition, when the Western Liang Army's bow and crossbow camp was firing ten rounds, the 20,000 archers in front of the Allied formation also headed for fifty steps in front of the formation, in a trapezoidal configuration, and shot in a row. The target of the shooting was also the Western Liang Army's chariot formation.
"Swoosh swish swish swish——Huh!"
Amid the howling sound, tens of thousands of sharp arrows from the Xiliang Army and the Allied Army soared into the sky, roaring like dark clouds covering the sun. Suddenly, two rains of arrows flew a hundred meters and then crossed in the air. Thousands of sharp arrows collided in the air, and fell with a "crack" wings and fell in a swaying manner; while most sharp arrows passed by and then fell down inclinedly. They rushed towards the chariot formation in front of the two armies like a storm.
"Boom boom boom boom———Long!"
Under the rain of arrows covering the sky and the sun, more than a thousand Allied chariots ran and rumbling, rushing towards the more than 500 twin-horse chariots in front of the Xiliang Army. Amid the deafening roar, one chariot was running several meters away from each other, with a four-leg iron cone about five feet long and thick thighs in the middle of the wheel of the chariot. Each chariot was like this. There was an iron cone on each side of the wheel. As the chariot ran, the iron cone rotated rapidly as the wheel rolled, like a high-speed rotating meat grinder, and rumbling towards the chariot array on the opposite side.
When the two armies confront each other, the maximum attack power of the chariots rushing into the formation is that the four-edge iron cone on the wheels on both sides has huge lethality, like propellers. The iron cone is about three feet away from the ground (that is, about seventy centimeters), which can not only strangle infantry, but also pose a threat to the cavalry's war horses. The impact is huge and the lethality is amazing. If five hundred chariots are allowed to rush into the infringement formation, they will kill like beasts rushing into the flock of sheep, and will rush around without any stalemate, which can destroy the infantry battle formation of five or even ten times more than five times.
However, each chariot is wearing armor, and the soldiers are heavily armored infantry, and there are two quadrangle cones weighing more than 100 kilograms. This is too much weight. Therefore, the chariot seems to be fast when it runs, but the actual speed is not fast. It is just that the chariot gallops with a huge momentum, powerful momentum, and murderous aura. It is daunting.
"Puff puff puff puff——————————————————”
The whistling rain of arrows fell rapidly. Although most of the sharp arrows fell on the chariots and were blocked by armor and bodies, hundreds of heavy armored infantry were still shot by the chariots under the scattered arrows. Immediately, amid the sound of arrows breaking through armor, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, and one by one, and one by one, and one by one, would be crushed and strangled by the chariots that followed. At the same time, the war horses shot by the chariots are extremely destructive, causing the entire chariot formation to suffer huge losses. Once the war horses are shot or injured by the chariots, the horses cannot continue moving forward; the chariots will deviate from the formation instantly, and then they will be collided by the chariots behind, which will lead to a series of chariots collisions. Usually, a sudden fall of a chariot will at least drag two to three chariots down, and then the car will be destroyed and killed, with great destructive power.
Under the sudden attack of arrow rain, not only did the Allied chariot formation suffer heavy losses, but the Xiliang chariot formation was also not spared, and the losses were also considerable.
At this moment, war is fair to both armies. Faced with the cold and ruthless rain of scattered arrows, no one is invulnerable to the steel bars and bones. Whether it is a war horse or a heavy armored infantry, they are all flesh and blood, and they will die after being shot by a wandering arrow. At this time, you will not respond every day and the ground will not work. Only by relying on yourself to fight the rain of arrows can you survive.
However, the attack on the arrow rain is just a scabies for the chariot array. It can only play a certain role in hindering harassment, but it is not enough to destroy the powerful chariot array wrapped in copper and iron.
"Dadadadada??????"
Under the scattered arrow rain, the war horses sprinted their hooves and ran, and the sound of the horses stomping the sky and earth was completely covered by the whistling sound of the arrow rain. Under the galloping of the war horses, more than 1,000 chariots of the two armies, more than 400 steps apart, leaned over to hedge. Both sides could collide head-on with each other.
"Bang——Boom boom boom boom!"
With a loud bang, the two armies were rushing to meet and collided head-on, and this instantly ignited the war like a fuse, opening the prelude to the chariot hedge and collision.
In the flash, the chariots galloped, and hundreds of chariots of the two armies met in close combat, intertwined in a loud collision. With the loud rumbling sound, chariots were hit head-on, and the horses in armor were instantly crushed into meat paste, and heavy armored soldiers were thrown into the sky. When they fell, they were greeted by the sequin halberds and the chariots that followed one after another.
Those chariots that luckily avoided the collision were still galloping on horseback, and the heavy armored soldiers in the hedge swung their halberds towards each other. The white blades went in, the red sword came out, and the bloody battle officially began from this moment. On the chariot, the heavy armored soldiers fought with each other, either you die or I died, and there was no other choice; under the chariot, the white iron cone rotated quickly, or instantly squeezing the horse's legs. Or they collided with the iron cone on the opponent's chariot, and then the car was destroyed and the people were killed, or two collision chariots were destroyed together.
After the chariot formation meets, there is no prelude at all. The sudden confrontation is a life-and-death situation. The impact is rapid and the collision is violent. The tragic battle is far better than the battle between any army; even the cavalry charge cannot be compared with it. Therefore, every chariot soldier is actually a terrifying death soldier and the most brave soldier, because the entire chariot formation is a suicide squad.
Fortunately, the scale of the chariot formation is not too large. Whether it is a good war horse that pulls a cart or a chariot made of copper and iron, it is a rare luxury. The cost is high; the money required to form a 500 chariot formation is far more than a light cavalry of 30,000 people. Therefore, all the princes were unable to form a large-scale chariot formation. At present, the Allied chariot formation was pieced together by various princes. Among them, Yuan Shao of Jizhou occupied the majority and had 600 chariots, while other chariots were at most only more than 100 chariots.
"Boom boom boom boom??????Kill!"
Such a fierce chariot collision not only did not make the chariot soldiers feel afraid. Instead, it stimulated their bloodiness hidden deep in their bones, prompting them to boil their blood, and drive the chariots to fight bravely. So, one chariot after another rolled in the air, and one heavy armored soldiers flew into the sky screaming and screaming, and the war horses were crushed to death, but the battle continued. The battle was in full swing, and the chariot formation collided at a critical moment. Chariots continued to enter the strangle field, and thousands of chariot soldiers who were fearless were joining the bloody battle.
On the battlefield in front of the formation, which was only three hundred steps in front, the chariots rumbling. The war horses neighed, the halberds were waving like a whirlwind, and the flesh and blood were splattering like rain. The sound of collisions, the sound of horses stepping on, the neighing, the sound of killing, the roar, the sound of weapons breaking the body, and the shrill screams that came one after another were endless, and the sounds were harsh. These sounds were all intertwined and mixed together, which was a terrifying and earth-shaking unknown reputation, which was terrifying and unbearable to look at them.
However, this is war. There is no need for mercy, tears, or sympathy here; what is needed here is the courage to fight and fight the warriors who dare not fear death; as long as they have a breath, they will not put down their weapons and fight to the death. This is a battle for men, and it doesn’t matter whether they are right or wrong, no matter whether they are right or wrong, they do not distinguish between black and white; only by life and death, can they continue to live. Apart from this, there is nothing else.
"The enemy is defeated, the soldiers will follow me to kill!"
During the extremely tragic chariot collision, he saw a bearded general wearing Xiliang armor running between the chariots, holding a two-meter-long halberd into the wheel of an Allied chariot, and then overturned the chariot with his own strength. Then, he jumped and landed on the back of a Xiliang double-horse chariot rushing in the front, then raised his halberd and raised his arms and shouted, leading the Xiliang chariot with only more than 100 left to launch the last round of attack on the Allied chariots.
This extremely brave general of Xiliang may be very unfamiliar with the Allied princes and generals. Not many people know him, but the soldiers of the Xiliang army are very familiar with him. Because he is the general of the Guards around Li Li, and is also one of the few generals who are good at hiking battles among the Xiliang generals. Hu Cheer, deputy commander of the Jinqi Guard, who is known as "carrying 500 kilograms and traveling 700 miles a day."

PS: Foreign Language: I don’t know if this chapter can satisfy you, but Hu Ben thought about it all day and night in order to write this chapter well.
To be honest, after you see this chapter, you may feel very ordinary and have no special highlights; but Hu Ben wants to say that this seemingly ordinary war situation is the most laborious, and it can be said that it is hard work.
In fact, many colleagues choose to use the Spring and Autumn style in this link, outline the outline in just a few sentences, and then write it over in one stroke to tell you the result directly. Because doing this saves worry and effort, there is no need to worry about it, and the typing speed is fast, so why not do it?
Hu Ben had thought of simplifying things like this and was too lazy to conceive specific details. After all, war is still far away from our real life. However, Hu Ben saw the sad and helpless scenes of many women and children under the Iraq War last night, and suddenly felt that the war was actually not far away from us, at least not as far as most of us imagined.
Feeling the cruelty of the war and the suffering of women and children living in the war, Hu Ben conceived all night and finally wrote the content of this chapter tonight.
???The content of this chapter is good or bad, not the focus of Hu Ben's attention. What Hu Ben really cares about is whether what he does with all his heart can be recognized by everyone. Historical texts are not only lively, but more of it is to let wise people learn from it. In addition, it is helpful in life and study, and at least it can make us cherish the existing happy life more.
If this is possible, Hu Ben will be satisfied.
Chapter completed!
