Seeing that their iron pagoda was about to crash into the opponent's formation, but the opponent had not yet fired their crossbows, almost all the Jurchens cheered.
The people of the Wu Dynasty were useless, so they could only deal with the surrendered troops of the Wu Dynasty. But when they were in front of Grandpa Jurchen, they were immediately frightened into weaklings!
However, unlike his soldiers, Wu Shu's brows furrowed more and more.
Something is wrong.
Something is very wrong!
When the Wu Dynasty surrendered the army before, they knew how to shoot arrows. Now facing their own iron pagoda, the opponent not only did not fire arrows, but also withdrew all the crossbowmen in front of the formation. Could it be that they were really scared out of their wits?
Unfortunately, no matter how wise Wu Shu is, it is impossible to change his mind now.
Once the heavy cavalry charges, it is impossible to change direction, let alone stop.
Otherwise, you will kill yourself first before the other party takes action!
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
In the clear sky, a burst of thunder suddenly sounded.
Including Wu Shu, all the Jurchens were dumbfounded.
How can there be so many huge thunderbolts on a sunny day, and thunder on a dry day? Is this what God is foretelling?
Wu Shu's face turned pale.
The Thousand Iron Pagodas of the Jurchens were arranged in a row for every one hundred and fifty riders.
Dozens of artillery pieces from the Yun Family Army fired thousands of lead pellets in one salvo on a front nearly three hundred meters wide, completely sweeping across the front line of the Iron Buddha Tu!
In this artillery fire, the Yun Army's artillery fired grape bullets.
Each cannonball is wrapped with dozens of lead pellets the size of grapes.
Dozens of artillery fired in volley, and thousands of lead pellets sprayed out from the barrel. With unparalleled kinetic energy, they broke through the armor of the Iron Pagoda dozens of meters away and tore apart the bodies of each body!
No matter whether it is a man or a horse, there is no way to stop the shot fired by the artillery. Even if it is occasionally blocked by armor, the huge kinetic energy carried by the lead shot can cause huge blunt damage.
However, the chance of breaking through the defense is very small. Some lead shot even penetrated the iron pagoda in the front row and knocked the iron pagoda in the back to the ground!
There are one hundred and fifty cavalry in a row of Iron Buddha, and there are more than six rows in total. Even if the Yun family's artillery fires shotguns, it is theoretically impossible to cause damage to all Iron Buddha.
This is also true. The iron pagoda that was actually shot was only 20%, not even 30%.
However, this is enough.
The mobility of the iron pagoda is very poor. The iron pagoda in the front row falls to the ground, and it is impossible to get around the iron pagoda in the back row, let alone jump over it with a horse.
If under normal circumstances, the iron pagodas in the front row fell to the ground, the iron pagodas in the back row might still be able to step on them and continue charging.
However, this is not a normal situation, and it is very abnormal.
Wushu and the others were far away, so maybe they didn't feel it deeply, but it was different with the Iron Buddha Tu, which was so close.
Especially the heavily armored war horses, which had never received artillery resistance training, were startled when they heard the huge roar of the artillery.
If the war horse is frightened, it will not obey the knight's command.
What's more, the knights on them were stunned by the cannons and had no command at all.
The frightened horses jumped, jumped, ran and screamed.
Some jumped, some jumped, some screamed, some ran, and it became a mess in an instant.
Don’t forget, Iron Buddha Tu is connected by several horses.
When this chaos breaks out, you pull me, I pull you, and suddenly everyone is on their backs!
Facing the tin cans brought to them, the soldiers of the Yun Family Army were not just looking at jokes. The commander in the front row gave an order, and hundreds of Yun Family Army soldiers holding big sticks quickly stepped forward and struck out like watermelons. It hit the iron helmet worn by the Jurchens and shattered the watermelon inside!
The thunder on a dry day was really shocking. It wasn't until the Yun Family Army's big stick slammed into Tiefu Tu's head that Wu Shu realized what he was doing.
"Quick...quick, quick, quick, kidnappers rush forward and rescue Tiefutu!"
Iron Buddha Tower sounds simple, as if it only requires cavalry and war horses, and a pair of armor and vests. In fact, that is not the case at all.
Not to mention the high cost of those heavy armors, it is not that easy to find war horses that can carry heavy armored knights and can wear armor themselves.
Under normal circumstances, it would be good to find one such war horse among ten war horses. Ordinary war horses cannot carry the load at all.
Having a war horse also requires rigorous training.
Chain horse racing emphasizes cooperation. Once a person or horse fails to cooperate well, the people and horses in the same group will be implicated. In the least case, they will be injured, in the worst case, they will be disabled or even die.
If Wu Shu, the Fourth Jurchen Prince, was not the leader, it would be impossible for the 10,000 Jurchen elites to be equipped with 1,000 iron pagodas.
After all the Jurchens had accumulated, the number of iron pagodas did not exceed 10,000. Now they suddenly lost 1,000. Even if Wu Shu was not distressed to death, he would not be able to explain it when he went back!
"kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill these Wu Chao pigs!"
"..."
Even though they were scared to death by the drought thunder just now, the Jurchen cavalry still rushed towards the Yun family army without fear of death.
There was no way. First, they knew the importance of the Iron Buddha, and second, the Jurchens' military laws were very strict. If they failed to complete the commander's order, they would probably be beheaded.
Behind the kidnapper's horse were the Jurchen's infantry.
Wu Shu was really anxious this time. Except for his own soldiers, he sent all the troops up, preparing to take advantage of the chaos to defeat the Yun family army in one fell swoop and reverse the situation on the battlefield!
Unfortunately, Wu Shu thought too much and met Li Xing, who was about the same age as him and also young.
Li Xing is a capable general trained by Yun Chao. He is one of the senior generals of the Yun Family Army who is most valued by Yun Chao.
Whether it is combat experience or military theory, they have all been passed down by Yun Chao. He is by no means a person who has gained fame in vain!
Especially his loyalty to Yun Chao. It is no exaggeration to say that he is unparalleled in the Yun family army.
When it comes to his relationship with Yun Chao, Wang Shitou ranks first among the Yun Family Army.
In terms of loyalty to Yun Chao, Li Xing definitely cannot be ranked second!
Ever since the assessment when he first joined the Yun Family Army, Li Xing, whose family was about to starve to death, was completely conquered by Yun Chao and became his lifelong fan.
Li Xing followed every theory explained by Yun Chao.
Li Xing never disobeyed anything Yun Chao told him.
He would deal with Tiefu Tu how Yun Chao asked him to do.
How Yun Chao asked him to deal with Guaizima, he would deal with Guaizima without any discount!
The most common mistakes young people make, such as being young and arrogant, being ambitious, self-righteous, and willful, are all invisible in Li Xing.
What he is best at is following Yun Chao's orders, using his majestic troops to fight dull and tough battles, and using the combat power trained hard by the Yun family army to crush all invading enemies head-on!
