    Not long after Zang Aiqin and Liu Jiao entered the ship's warehouse, the battle broke out completely. Liu Yu and others on the top of the city were stunned to see it. Although they had guessed the fierce firepower of the Ming army, they did not expect the Ming army's firepower.  It will be so ferocious that big guys such as Wooden Donkey and Chongqi can't rely on it at all.  Although these things have strong defenses, they are slow in movement. Slow movement means that the time to withstand the blow is extended. Three or five stone bullets will not be destroyed one after another, but what if they get hit by ten or so?  And mixed in the rain of bullets are also caltrops!  In the snow, caltrops will sink into the snow, making it difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, but the lethality of stepping on them will not be reduced at all, which makes the travel speed even slower, and even trebuchets and crossbows have almost no chance to deploy!  "Hey~~" Xie Hui sighed and said with envy: "The Ming army's ballistae is indeed powerful. General, have you noticed that it can be fired by five people in just a few breaths? It is thousands of times more powerful than a trebuchet or a bed crossbow.  If our army had such a weapon, why would we risk a decisive battle with the Ming army? What a pity, if the girl is willing Hey!  But Hu Lu also has a fatal move, which is to charge the stronghold with cavalry. Its power is unstoppable. Just look at it, it is probably about to be used. "Everyone turned their attention to the sharp cone of the Ming army's camp.  front end.  Yao Xing, Tuoba Lie, Liu Bobo, Juqu Mengxun and Bald-haired Latan all bleed in their hearts. They sent troops in the same proportion, and the proportion of forwards was also the same. Although Liu Yu provided equipment, he did not provide manpower.  They have to provide the manpower to operate it. Every time an instrument is destroyed, it is accompanied by the disappearance of several, dozens, or even dozens of lives. Juqu Mengxun and Bald-haired Latan are counted as one party, proportionally.  Calculated, each party's loss is between one thousand and one thousand five thousand!  The bald-haired Laitan couldn't stand it any longer and snorted coldly: "Gu Zao said that it is useless to use siege equipment to break the stronghold. It is just a self-destruction. If this continues, none of the soldiers in the vanguard will survive.  , it is better to call for gold to recall quickly and use our strengths to attack the stronghold with cavalry. Please make a decision quickly!" Yao Xing, Tuoba Lie, Liu Bobo and Juqu Mengxun looked at each other.  They all nodded slightly.  Yao Xing waved fiercely: "Ming Jin!" "Bang bang bang~~" The ear-piercing gong sounded, and the soldiers in front retreated like an ebbing tide, and all the equipment was discarded where they were.  While running, you were cursing your mother, what nonsense, you killed so many brothers in vain!  Before all the people had retreated, Yao Xing shouted again: "Attack!" "Woooooo~~" the horn sounded!  There were 20,000 horsemen each in the due west and south directions, gathered into a fish scale formation, spread their hooves and rushed towards one side of the village wall.  This time, the troops were not evenly distributed. Due west, Qin and Xia joined forces, each with 10,000 cavalry. Due south, Wei and Erliang sent 10,000, 5,000 and 5,000 cavalry respectively, so five  The emperor's eyes also looked towards their respective armies.  As soon as the cavalry was dispatched, the ground immediately shook. Liu Yu and others gasped. Although the Hu cavalry was not as well-organized as the Chinese cavalry, they had a wild and explosive power.  No matter how hard you train, you can¡¯t have the characteristics.  Standing on the city, you can see two black dragons rushing straight towards you. Yao Xing and others have carefully studied Tuoba Yi and Mu Chong's battles with the Ming army. They concluded that in front of the Ming army, there was no trace of skirmishers.  Wherever there is no use for force, the best strategy is to rein in the troops, concentrate on attacking, and use Arrancar. This is also an experience forged with blood!  In the Ming army camp, Wang Zhene, Xu Daofu and Cui Hao, who were standing on the central archery tower, also looked solemn. There were two cavalry teams, each with 20,000 cavalry, and the cavalry were connected end to end, with a total length of several miles. This was also  This means that if Hu Qi does not collapse under the huge casualties and can solve the problem of blocking the dead bodies, he will very likely break through the stronghold and this battle will be extremely difficult.  Wang Zhen'e said in a deep voice: "Fortunately, your Majesty had the foresight to lure Liu Jinu to Qiao, so that our army had a river to rely on. Otherwise, if the camp was standing in an open place and was surrounded and attacked by barbarian cavalry, I'm afraid that  It won't last long." Xu Daofu felt the same and said, "But it's much better now. Hu Qi can only attack from two sides. With more than 50,000 troops in the stronghold, he can resist it if he is careful." Cui Hao suddenly changed his face.  Changing his voice: "Here we come!" Since the crossbows and arrow-type ballistae cannot be used across the village wall, we have to rely on divine arm crossbows and throwing ballistae to defend against the enemy. The warriors behind the village wall formed a circle, about two hundred of them.  Shooting arrows in a fan shape, each person has five people waiting under him. After shooting one crossbow, he hands the crossbow back, takes another one and continues shooting. This basically ensures a continuous flow of arrows, and the stone bullets are also used intensively.  With the black dragon as the center, Hu cavalry or horses were killed almost every moment, but the cavalry ran too fast at full speed, and Hu cavalry's skills in avoiding the dead bodies were alsoThe fire was pure and green, and he actually rushed into the range of the bow and arrow.  "Whoosh whoosh~~" As soon as Hu Qi entered the shooting range, he immediately put aside his shield and shot an arrow. Although they only had a chance to shoot one arrow, the arrow was extremely accurate. As Hu Qi went deeper, behind the wall of the village, the divine arm crossbowman's  The casualties were getting bigger and bigger. Whenever someone fell to the ground after being hit by an arrow, someone would immediately come up to take over. The rain of arrows could not be interrupted under any circumstances!  ¡®It¡¯s a hook!  ¡¯ Xu Daofu¡¯s heart tightened suddenly, and he suppressed the urge to exclaim!  The Fish Scale Formation was composed of ten knights, and the front line was close to a distance of five feet. The remaining eight people in the first and second rows threw their bows and arrows to the side, and threw out the thick hooks, holding them firmly.  After reaching the wall, he was about to gallop to both sides, trying to use his horse power to pull down the wall, but he was hit by a series of short arrows. Even though he had the intention, he was powerless, and he could only die with hatred.  Several times in a row, the hook rope was either thrown with less than the last force, or there was no chance to throw it. Hu Qi behind him simply threw it hard, and he was always dead. He didn't even throw the hook rope, and rode towards the village.  The wall hits straight away!  Generally speaking, the method of making a village wall is to cut down two rows of tree trunks, one row long and one short, burn the bottom of the trunks and bury half of them in the soil. The long trunks are arranged in a tight row outside, and the short trunks are arranged in a row.  Inside the row, wooden boards are placed between the two rows of tree trunks, divided into upper and lower layers, so that the part where the long tree trunks grow becomes a retaining wall. The upper layer of the wooden boards can be used by soldiers for patrolling and sentrying, while the lower layer can store weapons and arrows or take a temporary rest.  Such a village wall is strong and practical. To pull it up with a hook rope must rely on the combined efforts of everyone and the strength of the horse, and it also requires skilled skills. The difficulty is no less than pulling down a tree, but it is very dangerous to directly collide with the horse.  There is a difference. A horse weighs more than a thousand kilograms plus a person, and the collision force when galloping is not inferior to that of a car, but is no less than that of a heavy motorcycle!  "Boom, boom~~" There was a deafening loud noise. Wood chips, human corpses, horse corpses, broken limbs and weapons and arrows were all thrown into the air. A five-foot-wide gap suddenly appeared in the wall of the village!  Witnessing this extremely tragic scene, the Ming soldiers who were lucky enough not to be knocked down rushed back. Liu Yu, Liu Muzhi and others who were watching the battle at the top of the city were all shocked. No one could have expected Hu Qi.  To be so ferocious, this is not just about looking at death as if it were home, but also the ferocity in one's bones!  "Good! Well done!" Yao Xing shouted loudly: "Send the order, play drums and cheer!" The other four people also had excited faces and broke into the stronghold, indicating that victory was already beckoning to them.  "Kill!" The passionate drums and the shouting of "kill" resounded throughout the battlefield. Hu Qi felt as if he had been given a shot of blood and rushed towards the gap with all his life. Even his formation was a little unstable.  "Boom~~" After being stimulated by this side, the other side did the same thing, forcibly hitting a gap with its flesh and blood body!  Two gaps!  In an instant, morale reached its peak!  However, the excitement of Hu Qi who rushed into the gap was not over yet, but he felt a chill in his heart. Within twenty steps behind the village wall was an open space, and twenty steps behind was a dense crowd of horses. With this thing, riding skills  No matter how skilled you are, it's useless. What's even more chilling is that fifty steps away are several horizontal rows of crossbows, interspersed with crossbowmen!  "Let it go!" The commander waved the flag fiercely!  "Buzz buzz~~" Thick three-foot giant arrows were shot out. Hundreds of giant arrows made a piercing scream. The horse was pierced through the chest, and then shot through the knight on the back, nailing him into a knot.  After the string, the huge momentum choked the horse's momentum, and the horse collapsed on the spot!  It turns out that Hu Qi avoided the corpse because the horses had to rush forward for a while after they fell to the ground. There was a time difference that could be used. But at this time, the horses fell on the same spot and had no time to react. They were tripped and fell to the ground!  There were constant rumblings, as if there was an invisible wall blocking the front, making it difficult to move forward. Some hot-tempered knights simply broke away from the formation and tried to go around from both sides, but this only accelerated their death.  The shouts of killing were loud, and the corpses on the ground were getting thicker and thicker. Liu Yu and others could see it clearly, and couldn't help shaking their heads. Shen Linzi cupped his hands and said: "General, I'm afraid it will be difficult to break through the Ming army's camp, and Yao Xing is subject to  The sight is limited, so we may not be able to see clearly in time. It is better to send a message to persuade Yao Xing to withdraw his troops. "Liu Muzhi nodded and said: "Send the troops first and then think of other ways. Otherwise, we will have nothing to show for it.  The army is fighting?" Liu Yu said without hesitation: "Come, tell Yao Xing the situation of the battle immediately and advise him to withdraw his troops immediately!" "Yes!" The two followers hurried away.  Not long after, Yao Xing and others received Liu Yu's message. They didn't believe it at first, but after a closer look, they saw that the cavalry was charging fiercely, but the Ming army's rear stronghold was not in chaos at all. It was obvious that they were advancing forward one after another.  The rushing cavalry did not achieve the expected results.  "Do you want to hold on a little longer? Retreat at this time, or??Not enough!  Tuoba Lie asked reluctantly. Bald-haired Laitan followed: "We simply press the whole army, and there will always be a time to break the stronghold!"  " Yao Xing hesitated and said: "Liu Jinnu is condescending. After all, he can see clearly. He specially asked people to tell him, so there will be no lies.  "(To be continued)
