Chapter 1306: Blood-stained Mo Blade
There is only one step between hope and despair, but it is also far away, and it can never be reached.
The reinforcements of the Shenwu Army arrived, but Ge Hongye and Cui Yin, the three or five hundred people, were like a flat boat in the vast ocean, struggling to support themselves in the stormy waves.
"Block the formation, block the formation, plug the gap, don't let the big cannibals rush in!"
The small phalanx of three or five hundred men was also as tenacious as stone, and although many of the warriors on the outermost edge were killed in the first place, the robes on his side were immediately replenished.
Although the hilt of the Mo knife is much shorter than that of a spear, it achieves the greatest balance between cavalry and infantry, and in addition to cutting horses, it can also inflict terrifying damage on infantry.
Most of the charging eclipse infantry were sword and shield soldiers, and in the face of the battlefield rules of one inch long and one inch strong, they could only offset the disadvantage in weapons with flesh and blood and speed.
The Mo knife weighed thirty or forty catties, and it could easily split the shield made of rattan and cowhide, and the big food soldier suffered a heavy setback because of this, and hundreds of Mo knives were under the command of Qiqi, and hundreds of shields were immediately split, and it was the arm of the big food soldier that was cut off together.
In the blink of an eye, the Great Sword Eater Shield Soldier who rushed to the front suffered heavy losses and lost his combat effectiveness.
The momentum of the big sword and shield soldiers behind them continued to decrease, and they pushed these remnants who had lost their combat effectiveness and crashed into the dazzling knife edge of the Mo Dao Array.
In just half an hour, more than two hundred sword and shield soldiers had already died under the sword edge of the Mo Sword Formation.
Ge Hongye's throat had already been torn apart, his body and face were covered with blood, and he didn't know if it was his own or the enemy's.
The Shenwu Army is best at firearms, especially after entering Chang'an, the firearms battalion has developed a wide variety of firearms, and has carried out full actual combat in this western expedition.
Unfortunately, these firearms are only available to firearms battalions, and ordinary local armies are not qualified to use them.
Fortunately, the foot soldiers of the Shenwu Army have experienced six years of counterinsurgency, and they have long been elite soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles, even if they do not have the support of artillery, they will not be weaker than anyone in a head-on battle.
The sword and shield soldiers of the big cannibals, like the cavalry, suffered from the light enemy, thinking that with the advantage of a large number of people, they could completely crush the military formation of the Shenwu army with this impact.
Surprisingly, the Tang people burst out with incredible combat power and will to fight.
The first wave of impact ended hastily under the stubborn counterattack of the Shenwu Army.
Ge Hongye roughly estimated that there were at least 100 people killed or lost their combat effectiveness in this battle.
Counting the ratio of one to two to kill the Great Eclipse infantry is already an excellent achievement, but the problem is that Ge Hongye has no one to replace, and now there are only two or three hundred soldiers left who can fight at full strength.
If the Great Eater kills from two directions at the same time, I'm afraid that it will be the limit to be able to block two more waves of attacks.
At this time, Ge Hongye regretted it, if he relied on the low city wall, it should not be a problem to resist for a day and a half, but who knew that the prime minister's reinforcements would arrive so quickly last night?
These thoughts can only be turned around in the mind, and it is useless to say them, and they will only confuse the morale of the army.
looked at Cui Yin beside him, this gentleman has actually survived to the present, of course this person is not a coward, every time he fights with the big food soldiers, he is extremely brave, maybe it is the protection of God in the dark, and every time he escapes from death, it is really a sigh.
But how many times can this rare respite be had? The Great Eclipse Infantry, which numbered more than 2,000 men, would win victory against their mere two or three hundred remnants.
Seeing that the Great Food Soldier had temporarily retreated, Ge Hongye sat on the ground, and all the soldiers sat on the ground without waiting for him to give an order, silently accumulating their physical strength, waiting for the upcoming battle to the death.
Cui Yin also followed Ge Hongye's example, sat on the ground with his ass, and heard the earth-shaking drums and horns, which were all over the mountains.
Bang!
Bang!
Suddenly, I heard
"General, listen, this, this is the artillery of the Shenwu Army!"
Ge Hongye also heard it, this is indeed the sound of the artillery of the Shenwu Army, since he heard the sound of artillery, it is almost certain that it is indeed the main force of the Shenwu Army.
While watching the movements on the battlefield vigilantly, he said:
"Listening to the frequency of this artillery sound, it should be Qingxuzi's bull-nosed housekeeper who brought it, maybe ......"
Speaking of this, Ge Hongye's voice suddenly stopped, and there was a look of confusion and excitement in his eyes.
"Could it be that this little Sylvan has become the main battlefield in the decisive battle with the Great Food Army?"
This also surprised Cui Yin, as far as he knew, the prime minister chose the battlefield of the decisive battle in Gorgan, trying to drag the Great Food Army there.
But who would have thought that the plan would change when it was said to change.
"Rush the decisive battle, in case ......"
The second wave of the big cannibal has not yet started, and Ge Hongye laughed and said:
"When has the Shenwu Army made foolproof battle preparations for many years? Brother Cui's so-called haste is just a decision made by the prime minister on the spot, if we stick to the plan of the decisive battle in Gorgan, how can our Shenwu Army have the power it has today?"
Cui Yin didn't speak, he felt that what Ge Hongye said was very reasonable, a real battlefield general, he must not stick to the form, this is what the Art of War says, soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent.
After being stunned for a while, he asked with some confusion:
"Strange, why didn't the big cannibal come?"
Ge Hongye was also wondering to himself, maybe it was because the main force of the Shenwu Army was attacking extremely fiercely, and they couldn't take care of it.
As he spoke, the shouting of killing suddenly became louder, and the impact of the Great Food Soldier began again.
Ge Hongye spat a handful of saliva into his palms and said loudly:
"Brothers, get up and get ready to kill the thief!"
All the people who could fight stood up from the ground, holding bloodstained Mo knives, and they all shouted in unison to kill, boosting morale at once.
This time, the big cannibal really killed him from two directions, which made Ge Hongye unlucky.
In fact, any master with a little brain will adjust his tactics in time after the first light enemy, otherwise how could the big cannibals sweep through the old Persian Empire?
I heard that there was an even more powerful Roman Empire in the far west, which was also beaten by the current caliph and had no power to fight back.
Cui Yin stood up, his body swayed a little, after all, his physical strength was not as good as those soldiers who fought all year round, and after a night of tossing, he was already exhausted.
The Mo knife, which weighs more than 30 catties, is held with both hands, and it seems to weigh a thousand catties, not to mention chopping and slashing the enemy, and it is very difficult to even lift it.
The shouts of killing poured in, Cui Yin roared, and finally raised the Mo knife obliquely, and the bright blade of the knife pointed directly at the direction where the big food soldier came.
