Chapter 776 Persecution

The rushing cart was born out of the carriage carrying goods in the daily city, but it changed its shape to be more suitable for war.

It is one foot wide and two feet long, with a hood seven feet high, a pointed head and a flat tail, and the whole body is wrapped in iron. prick.

The iron sheet of the rush car is driven by the formation. The heavy car body cannot last long no matter whether it is manpower or animal power, but it consumes a lot of pan-soul stones, so this kind of formation-driven car is currently only affordable in the army. Even the big family members outside rarely see this kind of car. The extravagance is high, it is not cost-effective to transport goods, and it is unnecessary to transport people.

In addition, there are magic circles on the iron sheet of the car that are solid and solid, and there are six people in the car that follow the car. These six people will use the magic circle on the car body to generate basic spells to attack the close-range enemies on both sides of the car. Rely on the heavy iron sheet of the car to protect itself.

The internal structure of the car, the connection of the magic circle inside and outside the car, and the erection pattern of the central control magic circle are all top secrets in the army.

It is not easy to make a charging car, it is something like half magic weapon and half mechanical technique. Zuo Yuliang gathered all the existing charging cars in the entire frontier army, and he was not willing to use them in the last war. From the beginning, 300 units were transferred from the pass one after another.

The rushing car is to pay attention to "many", one or two is not so useful, and only when they are taken out in groups can the tyranny of the rushing car be displayed.

Especially for the flat terrain on the Baitou Gorge and the scene of the large army fighting and charging, the rushing car is the same weapon that breaks the situation.

Following the flag officer's waving, soon, huge iron-skinned "monsters" began to rush out of the continuous army formation, reaching the front of the formation.

If you observe carefully, you will find that the rushing cars are all advancing side by side, and the distance between each one will not exceed ten feet, and they are not lined up in a row, but there will be a certain staggered front and back.

There will be no soldiers standing in the middle of these areas criss-crossed by rushing cars. The soldiers began to change their array in an orderly manner according to the greetings of their respective commanders and school orders, with the protruding rush car as the head, and followed closely in a fan shape.

It might sound a bit lengthy to say, but in fact, after more than a hundred drumbeats, the first formation that had previously fought against the barbarians had retreated, and the original second formation had completed the transformation of the charging formation to take over from the retreating first formation. Array itself then became the first team, and started the style of rushing cars and breaking the team.

The best way to destroy the Chariot is to destroy it from a long distance. It can be a giant catapult, or a special bed crossbow with a magic circle, or a monk's piercing spell. It's a pity that these methods are relatively lacking for the barbarians, not to mention that the barbarians who have been conquered by the Jingjiu Dynasty for more than 40 years are extremely scarce in the means to fight against the rushing cars.

The barbarians are basically physical training, physical tyranny, like to fight at close range, and they also need to be close to the rushing cars, but in this way, they are easy to be attacked by the basic skills between the rushing cars, and they are also easy to be attacked by the monks of the Jing army who follow the rushing cars intercept. If they were stopped in the Jingjun army formation, it would be impossible for the body cultivators below the Yuandan realm to escape alive, because those Qi-refining monks in the army formation who possessed talismans such as the Thunder-Repelling Talisman would be able to rely on The talisman smashed him to death.

Of course, the barbarians didn't just wait for the car to come over and tear themselves into pieces. Although they didn't have the most effective way to damage the car, they still had a lesser way.

For example, dig a ditch behind one's own formation, a deep ditch half a foot deep and two feet wide, just enough to trap the rushing car. Although the ditch cannot be done once and for all, it will be filled up by the following Jing army, but at least it can effectively delay the cutting and squeezing of the buffer vehicle to the own army formation.

If you bury kerosene and firewood in the deep ditch, once the car hits the ground and ignites it, the people in the car may not have time to escape, and the car will also be burned.

On Jingjun's side, the monks of the five elements belonging to the earth followed the Chongche. When they saw a sinkhole, they went up and erected a few stone pillars in the pit. They could barely make the Chongche avoid such a deep pit, but not every time. It's all in time, especially the kind of deep pits with concealed camouflage on the surface, which is basically difficult to find in advance.

However, the effect of rushing a car does not lie in how many enemies it can kill, but in oppressing the enemy's power. No matter whether the barbarians dig holes or use monks to forcefully destroy them, it is bound to change the original military formation system, which gives room for a large number of pawns who follow the charging car to steadily encroach on the barbarian front and force the opponent to take the initiative to suppress the whole army. Accelerate into the decisive battle.

In the two battles before and after Zuo Yuliang used troops, one word was prominent: persecution.

Time waits for no one, Zuo Yuliang doesn't want to win this national war by procrastinating formulas, he prefers "wild victory" or "big victory". But the barbarians have always maintained a stalemate and are unwilling to start a decisive battle. So Zuo Yuliang seized the opportunity to suddenly attack Baitou Gorge with heavy troops when the barbarians were not yet fully unified, and wanted to use Baitou Gorge, the most important food producing area of ​​the barbarians, as a bargaining chip to force the barbarians to face a decisive battle.

Things are looking good these days. Although the emperor had ordered that the Baitou Gorge line must be captured before the end of August, Zuo Yuliang still delayed the deployment until the last time, just to ensure that everything was safe. On the one hand, what was waiting was the follow-up troops, and on the other hand, these hundreds of units Rush car.

Just after noon, the first formation completed Zuo Yuliang's order to advance fifteen miles, but at the cost of more than seventy rams being damaged.

"Beat the drum, rush back to the car, and continue to push me up after the army formation changes. Tell Shen Wanlin to put more pressure on his side, there are still too many barbarians in the front."

According to Zuo Yuliang's estimate, the strength of the barbarians on the other side would not exceed 300,000. This is calculated based on the maximum number of people the barbarians can carry in their current state of extreme supply. He is going to eliminate at least one hundred thousand in this decisive battle in Baitouxia! And the battle damage of one's own side must be controlled within 50,000.

Zuo Yuliang's idea is very simple, that is to eliminate as many vital forces of the barbarians as possible. In this case, no matter who dominates the royal court erected behind the barbarians, it will only be a weak royal court with ostentation. There is a lot of advantage for entering the latter stage of the war.

So at the military strategy meeting last night, Zuo Yuliang clearly ordered all the armies under his command not to just focus on the casualties in front of them, but to focus on the overall trend of the battle. The implication is that it has been reminded that today's battle situation will be extremely tragic.

The Jing army continued to rotate the attack according to the echelon, and from time to time would send the rushing car up again and continue to press forward. The rhythm and timing of the rotation are extremely delicate, and if there is a slight mistake, it is easy for the barbarians to catch the counterattack. But Zuo Yuliang didn't show the barbarians a single flaw under the intense and fierce fighting for a full six hours until Xushi.

At Xuzheng, the entire front has advanced twenty-six miles. Moreover, Zuo Yuliang did not withdraw his troops, but gave the order to start a fire on the spot
