Although seventy or eighty people were injured or killed by the Zhenwu Army's firearms, the Khitan cavalry still rushed forward without fear of death, surrounded the Zhenwu Army's camp, and began to fire arrows continuously. arrow.
"Shieldmen come forward!" Liang Xuezhang calmly gave the order.
Two hundred shield bearers arrived and came to the front of the team. With their efforts, more than half of the arrows fired by the Khitan cavalry were blocked.
However, as a nomadic people, the Khitan people are really good at riding and archery, and their bows and arrows are very sharp. Although they have the double protection of shields and cotton armor, there are still many unlucky infantry who were shot in vital parts, or were killed on the spot. Killed in battle, or lying on the ground groaning in pain.
Although the military doctors in the camp have tried their best to save the wounded, they can only save a drop in the bucket. They try their best to save as many as they can. It depends on the individual's luck...
When the two sides competed for long-distance strikes, Ye Mingsheng's troops were not equipped with enough firearms, and the weakness of the long firing range of firearms was fully exposed. Every time the Khitan cavalry fired six or seven arrows, Ye Mingsheng and his birds were defeated. The gun, the squatting tiger cannon, was fired only two or three times.
Yesterday, because the battle had just begun, the failure rate of firearms was not high, so we were still able to fight back and forth with the Khitan cavalry.
However, as the battle situation intensified yesterday, the high-intensity use of firearms led to unexpected situations such as explosions, which increased the failure rate of firearms and the number of usable firearms gradually decreased. Therefore, they are now at a disadvantage and are attacked by the Khitan cavalry. Cavalry and shooting suppressed.
After this ebb and flow, the number of casualties among the soldiers of the third battalion gradually began to rise. Faced with such a situation, Liang Xuezhang, as the frontline commander, could be said to see it in his eyes and be anxious in his heart, but he had nothing to do with it. Very good method.
After all, the Khitan cavalry is in the area of 50 steps. If they give way at this time and the soldiers who have formed the formation disperse, then the Khitan cavalry will take advantage of the situation and charge, and everyone will be finished.
"Sir, do you think you can use your secret weapon now?"
Seeing his soldiers being killed by arrows one after another, Liang Xuezhang gritted his teeth and asked Ye Mingsheng for instructions. After speaking, Liang Xuezhang's eyes glanced at the large wooden boxes under the watchtower.
Glancing at the Khitan cavalry fifty steps away, Ye Mingsheng didn't say anything, just shook his head.
Fifty steps is equivalent to about forty meters. At this distance, the things he prepared could not exert much power at all...
To be honest, the things he prepared would be very effective in a surprise attack for the first time, but when Yeluyan was used for the second time, the power would be greatly reduced.
Liang Xuezhang, who was rejected by Ye Mingsheng, could only constantly adjust the formation to make it more compact, so that the shield in the hands of the shield hand could cover a larger area, protect more soldiers and reduce casualties.
Yeluyan, who was at the Khitan Army's position, looked at the Zhenwu Army camp suppressed by the arrow rain. A smile gradually appeared on his face. He looked at Brother Yeluhan next to him and said:
"Damn it! I think so much of this bitch Ye Mingsheng, it seems I really think too highly of him, hahaha!"
"Yes, eldest prince, there are hundreds of casualties in this wave of Zhou army's camp. They will collapse soon!" Brother Yeluhan also nodded and said very excitedly:
"Yes! Pass the order, and after the arrows are fired, we can charge towards the camp!"
"We want to have lunch in Ye Mingsheng's damn camp!" The proud Ye Luyan waved his hand and said boldly:
"yes!"
Xiao Xiu, Brother Yeluhan and other Khitan generals all raised their hands and accepted the order:
After half a cup of tea, the Khitan cavalry, who had shot all their arrows, finally stopped riding and roared towards the camp. The sound of horse hooves was loud for a while. The camp seemed like a lonely boat on the rough sea, and a wave could hit it at any time. There is a danger of capsizing...
Just when the two generals, He Jingyun and Liang Xuezhang, looked despairing and shouted in their hearts that my life was at stake, Ye Mingsheng, who had been sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai and remained calm, finally had a proud smile on his face, as if his conspiracy had succeeded. He calmly ordered Ye Dong beside him:
"It's time to start!"
After receiving the order, Ye Dong took the order and left. In the next second, under the leadership of Ye Dong, the soldiers who had already been prepared opened the big boxes and took out strange-shaped things that looked like wooden hammers. However, What is surprising is that the bottoms of these mallets are covered with a layer of oil paper.
Each of the one hundred soldiers was assigned three such "wooden hammers". They moved quickly and stood at the forefront of the formation, waiting for the Khitan cavalry to approach.
Seeing these ugly hammers in the hands of the soldiers, He Jingyun, who was already ashen-faced, Liang Xuezhang and others were even more disappointed, with despair in their eyes. They did not expect that Ye Mingsheng's so-called secret weapon , is it such a little thing?
This mallet may not even be used for carpentry work...
Are you, Ye Mingsheng, counting on this thing to knock those terrifying Khitan cavalry to death one by one?
Just as the two of them were secretly cursing Ye Mingsheng for being stubborn and arbitrary, the Khitan cavalry had already arrived within twenty steps of the camp.
Everyone in the camp could even vaguely see the ferocious expressions on the faces of these Khitan people, as well as the cold-light shining scimitars in their hands.
At this moment, one hundred soldiers led by Ye Dong pierced the layer of oil paper wrapped at the bottom of the mallet in their hands, found a small rope from inside, and then pulled the small rope hard, and then it was gone immediately The mallet with a small rope was thrown at the charging Khitans!
Facing the hundred "wooden hammers" falling from the sky, no one paid attention to them, whether they were the Khitans or the Zhou soldiers in the camp. No one thought that such a small thing would have any effect... ······
However, the next second, except Ye Mingsheng and his one hundred soldiers, everyone was shocked. Those wooden mallets that they thought were harmless to humans and animals actually exploded violently in the air, and countless Khitan The cavalrymen and their horses had no time to shout, and were instantly torn to pieces by the shock wave generated by the explosion.
Just before the Khitan people understood what was happening, the second wave and the third wave of wooden mallets flew out from the hands of Ye Mingsheng's soldiers one by one and fell into the Khitan cavalry... ········
