Following Liu Deng's order, the Han soldiers immediately began to build the barbed wire fence. Fortunately, a lot of preparation work had been done before.
Otherwise, at this time, it would not be a simple matter to dig a hole in the frozen soil.
The Han army was already very accustomed to barbed wire. Ever since the incident at Ratque Valley, this thing had become the standard equipment of the Han army.
I usually have good training, but now I can do this kind of thing with twice the result with half the effort.
The weather where water turned into ice brought them a lot of convenience. They dug a hole in advance, filled it with soil, and then poured a bucket of water over it. It didn't take long for it to freeze solid.
On the frontal battlefield, although the Huns moved very quickly, the Han army's fire and thunder also caused them a lot of trouble.
Seeing that the slope in front of the Han army's vehicle formation had been piled up, He Junan smiled and waved his hand fiercely.
The black cloth covering a hundred neat field cannons was removed, and the soldiers of the firearms battalion, who had already been filled with anger, began to quickly adjust their direction and then directly load the shells.
He Junan's eyes were fixed on the command flag behind Liu Deng. Seeing a large number of Huns cavalry finally rushing up, Liu Deng chuckled and waved his hand.
"ignition!"
When Liu Deng finally gave the order, He Junan laughed wildly. He took a torch and personally lit a cannon next to him.
The range of field artillery is not far, but the shells fired contain a large number of fragments.
"boom--"
"boom--"
"boom--"
The power of this thing may not be as powerful as the artillery of later generations, but the sound is definitely no less than that of howitzers of later generations.
Especially now that a hundred artillery salvos were fired, the earth-shattering sound made not only the Huns feel frightened, but also the soldiers of the Han army could not help but tremble.
Under the salvo of a hundred artillery pieces, a vacuum suddenly appeared in the charging Hun cavalry camp.
The entire battlefield seemed to become quiet all of a sudden. Even Liu Deng felt that his eardrums were almost shattered.
After a while, the deafening wails sounded again on the battlefield.
"What happened?"
Although there were constant explosions on the battlefield, Yi Zhi's horse, which was sitting sideways, was still panicked. If it weren't for his skillful equestrian skills, he would have fallen off the horse just now.
"Then, what is that?"
After all, this thing is fired with gunpowder. Compared with ordinary arrows, those flying shell fragments are obviously more lethal.
Even these Hun cavalry held shields in their hands, but there was no way to predict their direction from the fragments of the shells.
All humans and animals that stand in the way of the flying debris will only end up with a huge bloody hole in their body.
The smell of blood in the air suddenly became stronger, and the soil slopes that the Huns had finally piled up were immediately dyed red with blood.
"Don't stop, let me get in!"
After taking a few deep breaths, Yi Zhi continued to order with squinting red eyes.
To this day, the Huns have sacrificed the lives of thousands of cavalrymen for this small breakthrough.
If we give up at this time, wouldn't those people die in vain?
What's more, as long as his cavalry can rush into this car formation, Yi Zhixie still believes that no matter how powerful the weapons of the Han army are, they will only be met with death.
Under Yi Zhixie's urging, the red-eyed Huns cavalry charged towards the slope again regardless of risk.
Although the power of the artillery is amazing, its firing speed is slow, which is something that can't be helped.
Even though Liu Deng had proposed the concept of fixed gunpowder in advance, the work of cleaning the gun barrel was still necessary.
The second round of artillery had just been loaded, and the Huns' team had already rushed in.
However, after rushing into the car formation, the dozen or so barbed wire fences blocking the way of the Huns cavalry suddenly became a roadblock again.
The weather was so cold that in just a short time, the columns of the barbed wire fence were frozen solid.
It is not easy to knock these things down with brute force.
Fortunately, the height of these barbed wire fences was not high. With their skillful riding skills, almost all the cavalrymen successfully jumped over the first barbed wire fence.
This was just after the first barbed wire fence passed, and the Han army's crossbows had already begun to show their power.
The distance between the two sides is less than thirty steps. At this distance, the big yellow crossbow does not even need to shoot upward.
The soldiers all targeted the war horses one by one. Almost in an instant, all the war horses in front of them were lying on the ground.
The Hun cavalry were caught off guard and fell down one by one. Some of them were clever and immediately put up their shields.
But this time, good luck did not favor them. At a distance of thirty steps, the power of the big yellow crossbow was enough to penetrate heavy armor.
At this distance, the power of the arrows fired by the Big Yellow Crossbow is definitely more powerful than the firearms and bullets of later generations.
Just one layer of wood and two layers of rawhide couldn't provide them with enough protection.
In just one confrontation, the first wave of Hun cavalry that rushed in were almost all killed or wounded.
"boom--"
"boom--"
"boom--"
The sound of artillery sounded again, and a gap once again appeared in the Huns' ranks.
However, this time the Huns were already prepared, and the queue in front was obviously relaxed a lot, so the number of casualties dropped significantly.
The Huns gradually began to grasp the rules. After the sound of cannons stopped, the Huns' queue suddenly became denser again.
Countless Huns cavalry jumped over the car formation again and re-entered this huge flesh and blood millstone.
But this time, the Huns clearly learned a lot. After seeing the corpses of the horses lying on the ground, many Huns cavalry chose to jump off their horses.
The soldiers of the Shenwu Army didn't know what politeness meant. Amid Li Guang's hideous laughter, the Han army's volley came again.
The crushing force of the equipment was evident at this moment. In front of the powerful big yellow crossbow, the thin bodies of these Huns cavalry were like pieces of paper.
However, compared to the last time, there were obviously many more fish that slipped through the net this time.
The Hun soldiers who reacted faster fell directly to the ground, blocking their faces with the corpses of their companions.
Although they were very embarrassed, in the end they finally survived.
Yi Zhixie, who was far away, finally discovered this problem. Yi Zhixie, who was furious, finally discovered the problem.
"Take out those idiots that were prepared last night! I don't believe it. We can't take Liu Deng's head today!"
