Chapter 890 Hob Chariot Vs Hongyi Cannon!
"Online Game Lord of the People ()"
Three hundred hob chariots stopped less than two hundred meters away from the Han army, which was already the limit range of bows and arrows.
The 200,000 Persian army stopped marching, and the dust generated during the march rose into the air.
The Persian emperor sat on a luxurious chariot in the middle, looking at the equally mighty Han army on the opposite side.
A Persian general galloped out on horseback, arrogantly. They were the most elite army of the Persian emperor: "I obey the order of the King of kings, and you will be punished for invading the king's land!"
The Han army wavered slightly.
The Persian emperor on the opposite side has the characteristic of "King of Kings", which has a suppressive effect on most generals and legions!
The king of kings is the title of the emperor of Persia!
This is probably the most powerful characteristic of Persian civilization, on the same level as Alexander's "army of kings".
The Han Empire also had similar characteristics.
In fact, the "son of the plane" has also reached the level of "king of kings".
The only difference is that the king of kings has the strongest suppression effect, while the son of the plane has the strongest luck effect.
Chu Tian could feel his body trembling.
The characteristics of the king of kings actually have an effect on Chutian.
This situation is extremely rare.
Chutian has the characteristics of "Heavenly Khan", and he is already immune to the coercion of most emperors. Even Temujin's "Genghis Khan" cannot make Chutian feel fear from the bottom of his heart.
Then there can only be one reason.
The effect of King of Kings is to specifically suppress the enemy, and it has the highest level of suppression effect.
An army of Wu Qi's level of commander will inevitably be suppressed by the "King of Kings", causing small-scale restlessness.
"There are many Persian emperors, but there are only a handful of people who can truly be called the king of kings."
Chu Tian rode on Jue Ying, occupying a low hill, feeling the pressure.
For the first time he wanted to avoid the army of the King of kings, not to fight.
The army on the opposite side seems to have more than 100,000 troops. Chu Tian could clearly see that the Persian army was almost in the shape of a half moon, because the Persian army had more troops, and the width and depth of the frontal front were even more exaggerated.
Even if Chu Tian wanted to avoid it, it was not that simple.
The opponent was one of the legendary kings who appeared during the national war, and he didn't care about losses at all, and was an enemy of all the lords who entered the battlefield of the national war.
The Persian emperor was in charge of this area, and Chutian's Han army just entered the territory of the Persian emperor.
On the battlefield of the fifth national war, each legendary king and their guards control an area and attack the enemies who enter the territory.
The gust of wind blew again, filled the air with yellow sand, and the gold decoration on the outside of the hob chariot overflowed with luster.
Hob chariot, very typical Persian chariot.
The time that the First Persian Empire existed was equivalent to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods in China, and chariots were also the main force in the Central Plains.
The difference of the hob chariot is the sharp blade on the axle. When the chariot hits the enemy line, the sharp blade will harvest the opposing infantry or strangle the horse.
Based on the hob chariot, Chu Tian knew that the army on the opposite side came from the Persian civilization.
"This battle doesn't seem to be that easy..."
Wu Qi put his hand on the long sword, and it was not easy to face the army of the King of Kings. The troops on the opposite side were twice as strong as the Han army.
The only good news is that although the strength of the Persian army is twice that of the Han army, the Han army is all elite, and the Persian army has many auxiliary soldiers.
"If the army on the opposite side is all high-level units, then the difficulty will be too great."
Chu Tian could only comfort himself in this way.
200,000 high-level arms are completely different from the combination of tens of thousands of high-level arms plus hundreds of thousands of low-level arms.
"Maybe it's Cyrus the Great who founded the Persian Empire, or Darius I who called himself 'King of Kings' or 'King of Nations'... more like Darius I. No matter which one it is, it seems It's tricky."
Before Xia Liang participated in the national war, he had already done enough homework.
"Darius I who started the war between Greece and Persia?"
Chu Tian knew that Darius the Great,
A Persian emperor with a personality similar to that of Qin Shihuang used force to conquer, launched eighteen wars within a year, quelled imperial rebellions, and tried to conquer ancient Greece.
"If it's Darius I, then let him see the legions in the East. The hob chariot should be abandoned."
Chutian was not completely afraid of Darius I.
No army is invincible.
The most powerful war elephant army has various shortcomings.
Rattan armored soldiers, a combination of heavy infantry and light infantry, are afraid of fire.
The mobility of the Hongyi Cannon is extremely poor, and it is extremely dependent on the shells. Without the shells, the Hongyi Cannon is a pile of scrap metal.
As the main arm of the Spring and Autumn Period, chariots were gradually replaced by infantry and cavalry during the Warring States Period, which shows that the shortcomings are very obvious.
"My lord, there is a small group of cavalry lying in ambush on the nearby sand dunes. There are about a few hundred cavalry."
Hua Mulan's war eagle spotted a cavalry of several hundred men.
"Could it be that the elite cavalry of Darius I, the king of kings, attempted to attack our main formation in one fell swoop when both sides were exhausted on the frontal battlefield?"
Before the battle with Darius I, Chu Tian suddenly discovered that there was a small group of cavalry ambushing outside the main battlefield, so he immediately took precautions.
Generally speaking, the fewer the number of people, the more likely they are the elite among the elite.
There are only more than a thousand iron eagle warriors, and the Xuanjia army is no more than a thousand people.
The elite among these elites are used for surprise attacks and breaking formations.
If the cavalry ambushed outside the battlefield were the elite cavalry of Darius I, then they might be the eighth-rank cavalry, or the ninth-rank cavalry.
However, in the era of Darius I, the Persian Empire should not have more than eight ranks of cavalry.
The Holy Meteor Cavalry is the arm of the Second Persian Empire, and Darius I is the king of the First Persian Empire. The hob chariot also shows that the 200,000 Persian army in front of you is the first Persian empire, that is, the army of the classical era.
The Second Persian Empire, a medieval empire, basically no longer used hob chariots.
"What exactly is going on?"
Chu Tian asked Yang Dayan to command the ninth-rank Xuanjia army in the Iron Cavalry Legion to guard against hundreds of cavalry who might attack the formation at any time.
On the outskirts of the battlefield where the Han army and the Persian army faced each other, a camel cavalry of about 500 people watched the entire battlefield.
"This is... the armor and battle flag of the Han Empire in the east... and the Persians on the other side..."
Abu, the general of the Arab Empire, witnessed the confrontation between two powerful legions.
For the Persians, the Arabs are no strangers, because the Arab Empire borders the Persian Empire, and the two sides are like fire and water.
As for the relationship between the Arab Empire and the Han Empire, they are neither enemies nor friends.
"Let's fight, let us reap the benefits of the fisherman. It seems that there will be a good show."
Abu sat on the wall and watched.
The Han Empire is at war with the NPC Legion of the Persian Empire. This is a good opportunity for the mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole to follow.
No matter which one of two equally powerful civilizations wins, both will lose.
"This is also an opportunity to observe the strength of the Han Empire. I heard that there are still several great lords in the Han Empire. I don't know whether it is the first lord who is facing the Persian army, 'I just want to farm well', or 'Tongquechun locks the second Joe'." Strange, why are the names of the lords of the Han Empire so awkward?"
As a general of the Arab Empire, Abu would not help any side, and he wished to see the Han Empire and the Persian army perish together.
The Caliph Umayyad of the Arab Empire, as the player lord, needs as many exploits as possible.
If the NPC legions of the Han Empire and the Persian Empire are all wiped out, the Umayyad, the lord of the Arab Empire, will gain unimaginable military exploits and rank among the top.
"General, since they have already lined up, there is no way to retreat, and there will definitely be a battle."
"You guys, go back and report to Lord Caliph and ask him to lead the army to clean up the mess. This time I will make a contribution."
There was a bit of greed in Abu's eyes.
With the eagle soaring in the sky, the Iron Eagle Scouts focused their attention on the battle against Darius I of Persia.
The mighty King of Kings didn't say much. Under the gaze of the ancient Persian generals, the Persian emperor waved his hand, and the Persian army except the reserve team launched an attack on the Han army.
The NPC legion in the national war will not consider any consequences. Their purpose is to destroy the enemies who enter their territory. No matter what tactics they adopt or what price they pay, they must be wiped out!
The front of the Han army has a city wall composed of grain carts. The hob chariots of the Persian Empire chose to attack the flanks, planning to defeat the cavalry of the Han army, and then attack the infantry phalanx from the flanks.
The main force of the infantry of the Han army was Wei Wuzu, commanded by Wu Qi, and the Eight Thousand Silver Guns Xiaojie Army.
On the left and right sides, Hua Mulan was in command of the Tie Ying Scouts, Xue Rengui was in command of the White Robe Army and the White Horse Yi Cong, all light cavalry.
Geng Yan commanded 10,000 Youzhou Tuqi troops, and Chu Tian commanded 20,000 cavalry troops. They gathered in the rear and waited for the opportunity to counterattack.
Xia Liang's Shenji Camp is on the left, while Mu Guiying's Jianyan Crossbowman is on the right.
The Chutian faction is rich, and Wei Wuzu, who is the backbone, is also equipped with a god-armed bow.
On the battlefield, murderous aura pervades.
The hob chariot launched an offensive, the ground trembled, and the dust rose again!
Two hundred hob chariots are divided into two groups, which is very visually impactful and shocking!
"Show the King of Kings in Persia that times have changed. Use the red cannons and fill them with solid bullets. If any chariots break the line, then let them in."
Chu Tian squinted his eyes because of the dust that filled the air from time to time.
The Hob Chariot is brutal, but times have changed, and there are more brutal weapons than the Hob Chariot.
Xia Tianliang is on the left side, the musketeers of the Shenji Battalion are lined up in a square formation under the protection of a group of spearmen and iron eagle scouts, and the Hongyi cannons are arranged at the front, and the artillerymen push the rods into the barrels of the guns. The black powder and solid ammunition are loaded, the fuse is ready, and the other artilleryman holds the torch.
Chutian only had a pitifully small number of shells, but he believed that Darius I, the king of kings, would be enough to frighten Persia.
Xia Liang, as Chutian's most trusted person, is in charge of the trembling Firearms Corps.
Xia Liang has the characteristics of two firearms systems - "black powder" and "three-stage strike". The bonus to the firearms army is higher than that of any general in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Of the three hundred hob chariots, one hundred of them did not move, and one hundred of them each attacked the flank of the Han army.
A hundred chariots attack the left army composed of Xia Liang and Hua Mulan!
The cold muzzle of the Hongyi Cannon was aimed at the chariot that was charging from the front.
The Persian archers on the chariot bent their bows and set their arrows!
The gunner lit the match, and the black powder burned violently!
boom!
Accompanied by the violent loud noise, the earth shook and the mountains shook!
In front of two large armies with 300,000 people, a solid bullet hit a hob chariot, and the chariot was splashed with pieces of wood, and the Persian soldiers on the chariot were instantly killed!
A solid bullet hit the horse of another hob chariot, the horse's bones broke, and it fell to the ground with a bang!
The hob chariot lost the drag of its horse, quickly lost control, deviated from the direction, and crashed into the chariot on the left! The sharp blade of the axle cut through the compartment of another chariot, tearing a shocking hole!
The original neat hob chariot formation was disrupted by ten solid bullets with almost no oblique angles. Among them, three chariots were directly destroyed, and two chariots were affected. The Persian infantry who followed the chariots, More than ten casualties.
"Change the shotgun!"
The Gunner's next reload is shotgun shells that do splash damage at close range!
