Following Zhang Linhu's powerful words, he also raised his sword, raised it to his head, and shouted loudly: "Fellow Taoists, brothers, you have made great contributions. At this moment, cut open the shields, kill the blood, and let your blood flow to your heart's content." Slaughter these Jin dogs on the ground, and their heads will become our military merits. The Heavenly Master will see your merits and will definitely let you..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud laugh from the shield array: "Hahahaha, demon thief, you are still daydreaming here when death is imminent, I will send you to see the Celestial Master now!"
With these words, more than a hundred disciples of Tianshi Dao have rushed to the shield formation, slashing with swords and axes, and even kicking with their feet, without even having to pull the rope. Kicked down, chopped down, and exposed inside, everyone could see clearly. More than twenty steps away from these shields, there were chariots lined up in a row, and the four horses pulling the chariots were all pumping and panting. They were so angry. If their mouths weren't covered with bits to cover up the sound, these Tianshi Dao disciples would have discovered something was wrong just now.
Fu Hongzhi was wearing iron armor and sitting on one of the chariots. He held a big bow in his hand. Like the archers on the other chariots, he launched a counterattack the moment the shield fell. At the signal, more than two hundred chariots lined up in the front line square formation immediately fired more than two hundred arrows, directly hitting those who had just pushed down their shields and still had smiles on their faces more than twenty steps away. Where are the disciples of Tianshi Dao?
More than a hundred disciples of Tianshi Dao were knocked down like thatch, while the companions around them stared wide-eyed and were at a loss. Some people just reacted and shouted: "Oh my God. , It's a chariot, it's a chariot." Then he shouted, turned around and ran away, while some people instinctively wanted to charge towards the chariot, and several fanatics shouted: "Go ahead, chop them to death, cut!"
Before he could say these words, Fu Hongzhi waved his hand violently, and hundreds of ropes were pulled simultaneously. One end of these ropes were all tied behind the outer shield array, one by one between the small wooden poles that supported the shield diagonally. As the ropes pulled, the wooden poles fell, and the shields were instantly knocked down. The entire Jin army's front line, more than ten square formations behind, and more than two hundred chariots, could be seen at a glance, and they also launched a charge at the same time.
The ground was shaking. In the Jin army's formation, hundreds of war drums were beating almost at the same time. There was silence just now. In the unknown formation, about five steps away, a chariot rushed out, with four horses pulling it. The war horses galloped wildly, driving the chariot and rushed out crazily. The more than a thousand Tianshi Dao disciples who were guarding the front line and were about to attack inward suddenly became a flesh-and-blood defense line. This mortal body is here to block the full speed impact of the chariot.
The sky was full of people who were knocked into the air. The Jin army's war horses were all covered with armor on their heads and front bodies. In addition to the leather sheaths, there were circles of fine steel armor leaves tied around them. The soldiers wore the same armor. The disciples of Tianshi Dao instinctively used swords or spears to stab these cavalry horses, but they had little effect. Unless they were five or six meters long, they had to be preset. Otherwise, in this era, any tactics that want to prevent a chariot assault will be in vain. Not to mention, the impact of a cart pulled by four horses is more powerful than that of armored cavalry. One chip.
The top of the chariot's head is equipped with a special collision horn. A spike more than two feet long is like the tip of a horse's spear. Some of those hit were simply hung on the horses' heads. As the horses neighed and shook their heads, these corpses were thrown down heavily and fell to the ground. They were then trampled by the horses' hooves and crushed by the wheels. By the time the chariot passed by, the human form was no longer visible at all.
In just one sprint, at least three to four hundred disciples of Tianshi Dao were killed in front of them like this. The four-horse chariot was too wide and too fast, and those who met it would have no physique. Even if some people bent down in despair and wanted to fall to the ground, they would be killed. Trampled back and forth by the horses' hooves and wheels, they turned into blood and mud. Only by escaping quickly towards both sides of the chariot, and standing between the two chariots, in the gap of about ten steps, could the Tianshi Dao disciples stand in the gap. Under the first wave of death attacks, a life was saved.
But many people just escaped between the two chariots, thinking that they had saved their lives. After regaining their strength, before they had time to rejoice that they had escaped death, they would only see a few heavy beams flying in the air. On the other side of the chariot, besides the archers, were three or four halberd warriors. It turned out that not all of the spikes that were as dense as a steel forest had been attacked, but more than half had been withdrawn. Got on the chariot.
And at this moment, as the chariot roared past, not only did it knock down the Tianshi Dao disciples blocking the front of the chariot, but it was also time for these swordsmen and halberd warriors to show their power and flank the enemy. They don't even need to spend much effort to fight. They only need to place the halberd across one side of the chariot and hold down the halberd pole tightly. With the impact of the chariot, these halberds and spears can harvest those on both sides on their own. Where are the disciples of Tianshi Dao?
Blood rain splashed, heads rolled, and severed limbs flew everywhere. The bodies of some unlucky Tianshi Dao disciples were still standing there, but they had been cut into two parts. The upper part of the body cut off by the waist would follow these halberd blades due to inertia. But after flying a certain distance, only the lower half of the legs were still standing in place.
There were also some Tianshi Dao disciples who reacted, and after evading this round of death charges, they began to try to carry out various counterattacks. The most reliable and direct way to counterattack was to take long spears and other spears from the side. The weapons stabbed the halberdiers on the chariot, or attacked the wheels on the side. Some brave people simply flew to attack, hoping to jump on the Jin army's chariot and fight in close combat on the chariot. Disciples of Tianshi Dao Such fanaticism and ferocity, so much so!
It's just that the Jin troops on these chariots are also familiar with the various tactics of the chariots. In addition to the three or four halberds placed across the right side of the chariot for side attacks, there are at least two halberds left on the chariot, specifically for attacking. To deal with this kind of car-jumping fanatic, one big halberd kept intercepting the enemy's long weapons piercing the car outside the car, and the other big halberd aimed at those who were flying and pounced, trying to jump on. The enemy swordsmen in the car were struck hard. The swordsmen, who were in the air and could no longer change direction, screamed and fell to the ground after being struck by their halberds. They lost their lives before they could even touch the side of the car.
Even if there was a guy who jumped on the car, the archer on the car would hold the self-defense blade that had been prepared. Before he could gain a firm footing, he would stab him violently and finally kick him out, covering his body with blood. The guy with the bloody hole was kicked out of the carriage. (End of chapter)
