Chapter 790

To catch a thief is to catch a king first, and to shoot a man is to shoot a horse first. This is not a simple sentence in a poem. It is the experience summed up by the long history of war in various Xia dynasties.

The size of war horses is much larger than that of people. People will make some actions to avoid or block the arrows. Horses with little wisdom will have some instincts to avoid danger, but they have shackles. In addition, some instincts have been numb with long-term training. In fact, they will not react to the arrows and will be shot passively.

In fact, the arrow array is not too tall. It is just that large-scale archers or crossbows form their own formation, multiple long-range forces are arranged at a reasonable distance, and then shoot at an area according to the command.

It's not a tall formation. It's not difficult to control, but the specific operation is extremely difficult. Archers or crossbows must be strictly trained. What kind of command should lift the bow or crossbow to what angle? Any mistake is the second, causing accidental injury, which is called tragedy.

In the military history of cold weapons, the difficulty of long-range force training is higher than that of close combat forces. As an archer or crossbow hand, people who can shoot arrows and shoot accurately but freely are suitable for hunting. The key is to know how to obey commands and obey orders.

The latter point mentioned above is common to all soldiers, but if the long-range troops make mistakes, it will hurt their morale. After all, people fight in front, but their own people shoot deadly arrows at the back, and anyone will be psychologically collapsed.

The arrow array is extremely dependent on the observer. In this age when mathematics is only the preliminary stage, there are too many things such as ruler, spacing and predicted moving position... There is no systematic induction, even the smartest person can be confused.

Without a simple and clear scientific system support environment, the observer of the arrow array needs to be extremely experienced, be able to judge the distance between the arrow array and the enemy to be shot, and then give the firing command of the elevation according to the weapons of the commanding arms.

In the arrow array of the Han Army, commands were constantly shouted out. Teams of crossbow men shot arrows repeatedly in the voice of commands. Some of them could shoot five rounds, or three rounds. Then they didn't hear the command of archery again.

Obviously, the chariot soldiers of gitanado have not encountered sniping in this scientific way. The horses they pull the chariot are not armored. No less than 100 chariots are killed by arrows in the process of charging. The subversion of each chariot is a great noise.

The chariots that fell in front became an obstacle to the advance of friendly forces galloping from the rear. More chariots collided with the wreckage of the vehicle body, and rollover occurred every time. As a result, they launched the charge and did not enter the collision stage. At least 150 or so chariots fell in the middle of the charge.

The number of 150 vehicles is only a little more than one tenth of the fighting vehicles of gitanado. The problem is that they have never encountered a similar situation. It is impossible to say that they have no impact on the morale of the army.

The most direct manifestation is that the originally noisy gitanado infantry stopped shouting, but the subordinate army of the Han army broke out cheers when moving to the left and right wings.

The arrow array organized by the Han army could not stop all the jitanado chariots charging. The jitanado chariots running in the first row have charged far enough and will soon come into contact with the Han Army TA Dun soldiers.

Tower Shield soldiers have always had a strong sense of existence in the Han army system. They are the most solid "shield" of the infantry. They have repeatedly formed an army array for defense or promotion. Together with long-range forces, they constitute the strongest "shield" and "spear" of the Zhuxia army. Whether they are mounted soldiers or infantry, they can always win step by step, far less than the loss of the enemy.

The chariots had long disappeared on the battlefield of Zhuxia. It was nonsense to say that the Tower Shield soldiers of the Han Army had the experience of dealing with chariots. They were ordered to leave their headquarters and move forward. The command they got was to use their bodies to support the shield and create an artificial slope for the subversion of chariots.

It's one thing to know what to do, but it's another thing to really do it. The leader of each team of Tower Shield soldiers is watching all directions and listening to all directions. As the leader, in this battle against the enemy's combat vehicles, the responsibility and pressure are far greater than any time before.

Lin Qu found the chariot coming from the Mercedes Benz and shouted loudly. Paoze hurriedly formed a formation. Because he was too nervous, the shouting was hysterical. Fortunately, paoze could understand it.

Their practice is that someone tilts the shield in the front, and the people behind form a slope of the shield in turn. The slope shield wall is then supported by people.

As for the chariot with rolling wheels, a San driver on the car body tried hard to control the chariot to make fine-tuning direction when he saw the situation ahead, but the structure of the chariot decided that without an axle, the chariot would pull the car body to make a too wide turn, which would directly make the chariot fall to the side, and they would overturn themselves in the process of turning.

When Lin Qu heard the sound of the chariot smashing to the ground, she stretched out her head from the side to watch. When she saw the target she was going to deal with overturned, she wanted to say that she was very happy.

They really didn't deal with the chariot. It said that organizing the inclined shield wall would make the chariot roll over, but in fact, no one had a spectrum in their mind. Even if the person who ordered the order was finished, the person who executed the order was at stake.

After Lin quqing continued to observe the battlefield, he happened to see a scene.

It was paoze of other teams who organized the tilting shield wall, but did not complete the tilting shield wall. The enemy's chariots collided with each other in the roaring sound of wheels.

It was a tragic scene. The horse with a sharp blade first collided with the people in the way. The sharp blade brought red blood when piercing and crossing. The collision of the horse made the human body fly upside down, followed by the collision of the car body and the rolling of the wheels.

After waiting for the chariot to move forward, the team that wanted to build the inclined shield wall had long been fragmented, and the fresh life became a lying corpse. Some of the corpses were cut halfway by the sharp blade, and some were crushed by the wheel, resulting in the depression of the body. The only surviving Han Army knelt down on one knee, his face full of extreme fear, and the crotch was dripping water.

It's not a shame to be scared to pee on the battlefield, that is, veterans of all wars are scared to pee during combat. It's normal for recruits to be scared to pee on the battlefield for the first time.

It is almost impossible to say that people on the battlefield do not have fear. The difference is whether they can control their fear.

Then there is a more shameless thing. No one is not afraid of death. The fear of death is natural, but only expressed and hidden, overcoming the fear of death to fulfill his duty as a soldier.

Lin Qu didn't have much time to think or fear. He caught a chariot galloping towards the position of the organization's inclined shield wall in the corner of his eyes, and subconsciously shouted, "hold on!", People also shrink in

At the next moment, there was a movement of horse hooves stepping on the shield. Anyone under the shield wall felt the top weight, while the person on the right saw the horse's head with its mouth open. The picture seemed to be slowed down. The saliva in the horse's mouth was splashing, and it could be distinguished that some of the saliva had become white foam.

The "play" speed of the picture returned to normal, the wheel ran over the shield surface, and the war horse that did not trample on the shield wall fell to one side, and then the overturned car body tilted and smashed to the ground.

In the Han Army under the shield wall, none of them could stand. The people in front fell directly to the ground. Some even knelt forward with their thighs, but their waist folded back.

The impact strength, plus the weight of the horse and chariot, is really not the total weight that the horse and chariot should have when they stop. It should be multiplied by several times.

He succeeded in overturning a chariot, but Lin Qu was confused. When he came back, he wanted to lift his arm, but he found that he didn't listen to orders, and he also saw the miserable appearance of paoze.

There were two people whose waist was directly crushed by great force. Their bodies were broken, and blood gushed from their mouth, nose and ears when they were dying.

The Han soldier in front was directly pressed by the shield. It was obvious that the skeleton collapsed completely, the limbs were twisted, the thickness of the trunk was reduced, and the ribs could be seen in the part not covered by the shield.

"Those who can move, pull those who can't move." Lin Qu felt that his mouth was a little sweet and full of fishy smell. He knew that he not only dislocated his arm, but also was injured inside: "withdraw, evacuate here."

Successfully organized the inclined shield wall to intercept an enemy combat vehicle, which was indeed subverted and scrapped, but 11 people sacrificed three people on the spot, and the other people were more or less injured. The people who could bomb pulled or carried the incapacitated robe and moved to the flank of our military array according to the command of Shi Chang.

Li Jun stood on the temporarily built high platform. He saw tragic scenes through the telescope. Most teams failed to organize the inclined shield wall for direct reimbursement, and some of the inclined shield walls were not well completed.

In fact, even if the inclined shield wall is formed, it may not be in the correct position. The people carrying the shield are not invincible iron King Kong. Most of them are directly crushed by the shield wall. Their sacrifice is to successfully paralyze an enemy chariot.

"If not... Forget it." Li Jun's mood fluctuated, but if he lost his square inch, he had seen too many tragic battle scenes: "to deal with the chariots, we need to do a good job of fortifications in advance. It's too expensive to rely on temporary blocking."

The price is that any successful or failed team has played its role, or used the wreckage of the chariot or stacked corpses to successfully create obstacles to the chariot's progress, resulting in the continuous reduction of the space that the chariot can pass through.

There are no undead people in war. The sacrifice is only divided into valuable or worthless. The Tower Shield soldiers who go to war reflect their own value. Their efforts and sacrifice make it impossible for most enemy combat vehicles to pass through the battlefield and directly hit the array.

A small number of gitanado chariots can charge up. They find that the number of friendly forces around them is rare. Of course, the horses pulling the chariot don't have any thoughts, but the people on the chariot are panic.

For chariots without brakes, even if the driver wants to stop, he needs buffer time. If the chariot running at high speed wants to stop, it needs at least 100 meters as a buffer to reduce speed, but they don't have that much distance.

"Go, go faster!"

Cosa Aisia's face was covered with ashes. Most of her chariot troops didn't rush over. More importantly, there was a sharp thorn forest composed of spears in front.

This war was not only strange to the Han Army, but also completely unexpected after the battle on gitanado's side.

In a San's land, it is chariots and cavalry who deal with chariots. No matter how experienced people are, they have never seen or heard of infantry and dare to take the initiative to stop the running chariots.

Let alone take the initiative to attack against the charging chariots. Even if you organize an array in situ to block the chariots, ah San will only do it on the premise of some tools such as resisting horses. It is also a legend that people stand in a dense square array to fight hard.

Cosa today If aisia hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he didn't believe who had the courage. When he was full of confusion, he only felt that the Han people could have such great courage and the spirit of not afraid of death.

In the same sentence, no one is afraid of death, but soldiers... Soldiers of any country have discipline, and then a sense of mission or honor, which makes them suppress their fear of death.

Cosa Seeing that she was getting closer and closer to the thorn forest, aisia grabbed the reins of the driver with a ferocious face and drove the horses pulling the cart to accelerate and accelerate again and again. In the corner of his eye, he found another chariot about to hit, and his attention was drawn.

The chariot running at high speed has no shock absorber. The bumpiness caused by speed is more obvious. The white foam in the mouth of the horse pulling the chariot splashes everywhere. The people on the chariot have to hold the wall of the chariot to control the balance of the body.

At that moment, as long as conditions permit, everyone's eyes were on the chariot that was about to collide with the spearmen.

What they saw was that the horses pulling the chariot collided with each other, and the sharp thorn forest sank in an instant. The spear pierced the horse's body, but the Spearman was pushed backward by a huge force.

The horse pulling the cart died at the first time of the collision. The car body was pulled forward by an inertia. The people on it were thrown into the sky and danced in mid air.

The army formation forming the rectangular spear array was constantly wailing, and the forest of spear spikes on the left and right sides was also disintegrating.

As the car body crashed into the inertia, it pushed the dead horse forward, the wheels collapsed under the impact force, and the bottom of the car plowed all the way, not only pushing up the soil, but also shoveling the dead or injured Han Army spearmen forward.

"Hiss!!!"

Li Jun's teeth were panting with inspiration, and his eyes were wide open. He could judge at the first time that the chariot was finished, but at least ten or twenty Han troops were taken away!
