Hong Xiuquan stood proudly on his horse, his gloomy face was full of arrogance, his eyes passed through the darkness, and he shot coldly towards the Wei army camp.

"King Dong, your judgment this time is right, the Tao Demon is really defenseless." Hong Xiuquan sneered and glanced at Yang Xiuqing.

The corners of Yang Xiuqing's mouth swept up a hint of pride, and he arched his hand and said: "Heavenly King, since the Tao Demon is defenseless, then what are we waiting for, let's wipe out the enemy camp in one go." ”

Hong Xiuquan nodded, pulled out the holy sword in his hand, and kept it in the direction of the Wei camp, shouting: "The holy soldiers of the kingdom of heaven, step on the enemy camp for me, kill all the Wei demons, and fight for the kingdom of heaven-"

"Fight for the Kingdom of Heaven—"

"Fight for the Kingdom of Heaven—"

The hundreds of thousands of Taiping troops arrayed in the darkness shouted like a tsunami, like the roar of a group of beasts, shattering the silence of the night.

Yang Xiuqing also waved Mahler in his hand and shouted: "Blow the horn and attack!" ”

Woo woo woo -

In the Taiping army, countless trumpets sounded almost at the same time, as if the gates of hell had been opened, and countless man-eating devils were about to come out of hell.

In front of the army, Shi Dakai took a deep breath, slashed forward with his sword, and shouted: "Fight for the Heavenly King, fight for the Heavenly Kingdom, and kill all the Wei demons!" ”

In the earth-shattering roar, nearly 70,000 Taiping troops in the front army, roaring with the earth-shattering killing sound, broke out of the formation like a tide, rushed out of the darkness, and rushed towards the Wei camp under the light.

The sky is falling apart, the wind and clouds are changing!

Shi Dakai drove his soldiers and galloped wildly, his eyes always fixed on the direction of Wei Ying.

He saw that in the Wei camp, the more than 10,000 soldiers on duty, in the face of the sudden impact of his own army, did not fall into a panic, but lined up on the camp wall, holding their spears high, calmly preparing to face the battle.

"The Wei army didn't panic at all, and it didn't seem like they were caught off guard by us, but I was afraid that the Tao Demon guessed that we would attack tonight......" Shi Dakai frowned, and he was secretly a little worried in his heart.

It's just that by this time, he was already riding a tiger, even if he was suspicious, he had no choice but to charge.

300 Steps-

100 Steps-

Fifty Steps-

Only a few steps away, his large battalion was about to crash into the outermost layer of the Wei army.

In the big camp, countless pairs of eyes, as if enjoying a small twist performance, sat and watched these self-righteous Taiping soldiers rush towards the big camp.

The soldiers of the Wei army hidden in the night, the swords and guns in their hands were clenched, and their blood was boiling to the extreme, just waiting for an order from the Son of Heaven.

"Your Majesty, it's almost." Liu Ji looked at the potter merchant and reminded.

The potter nodded slightly, a trace of cold killing ignited in the eagle's eyes, and the war knife in his hand pointed, and shouted: "Beat the drum, let the Taiping thief taste the taste of the rainstorm repeater again." ”

Tom tom!

In the middle of the camp, the rhythmic sound of war drums sounded in an instant, overshadowing the horns of the enemy army.

On the inner side of the camp wall, in the trench that had been dug overnight, nearly 7,000 crossbowmen suddenly crawled out, forming a three-line formation in the blink of an eye, aiming at the enemy rushing outside.

Li Guang did not hesitate at all, and shouted: "Crossbowman, release the arrow!" ”

Before the shouts came out, Li Guang's battle bow loosened, and a sharp arrow came out of the string, piercing the darkness and instantly shooting an enemy soldier to the ground.

In the next second, more than 2,000 crossbowmen in the first row, almost at the same time, loosened the crossbow strings.

Woo woo woo -

The violent humming of the birds flapping their wings suddenly rose into the sky, and 20,000 sharp arrows shot out at the same time, forming a dense wall of arrows, and shooting towards the oncoming Taiping army.

Shi Dakai, who was in the charge, suddenly saw many people rushing out of the Wei camp, his face couldn't help but change, and he exclaimed: "Tao Demon is really prepared, the whole army stopped charging and marched in formation!" ”

As soon as Shi Dakai's order was handed down, the Wei army's crossbow arrows were shot first, and they swept towards the more than 10,000 Taiping troops who were rushing to the front and were unprepared.

Puff puff!

Arrows rained down, and in an instant, thousands of holy soldiers of the Taiping Army, both men and women, were all nailed to the ground, blood stained the night red, and screams rose to the sky.

The Taiping soldiers were taken aback, and without Shi Dakai's order, they stopped their frantic charge, instinctively raised the shields in their hands, and shrank each other in a pile.

Although the crossbows of the Wei army were constantly shooting, although the rain of arrows was dense, and the enemy soldiers were constantly shot to the ground, because of the protection of the shield, the number of enemy arrows was rapidly decreasing, and the power of the rainstorm was greatly weakened.

Soon, the 70,000 Taiping troops stopped their kind of burying their heads and rushed wildly, and began to form a formation, holding high a large shield to form an iron wall, and lined up in a formation to slowly advance towards the Wei camp wall.

Shi Dakai breathed a sigh of relief, a trace of pride flashed across his face, and he secretly thought: "Fortunately, I was prepared and proposed that the Heavenly King let the whole army be equipped with shields, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." ”

After rejoicing, Shi Dakai's face once again ignited his determination to win, and he pointed at Wei Ying, shouting: "Wei Demon's repeater crossbow is useless, warriors of the Heavenly Kingdom, continue to advance for this king, cut down their antlers, and break through their camp walls!" ”

Under Shi Dakai's encouragement, the holy soldiers of the Taiping Army quickly stabilized their minds, held high the big shield, shouted fanatical slogans, and continued to crash towards Wei Ying.

After a while, the Taiping army advanced to the outer antlers, holding a large shield as a cover, and brandishing the broadsword in their hands, and began to cut down the antlers frantically.

The Rainstorm Repeater is still firing its arrows endlessly, but the advantage of the repeater is that it can deliver a devastating saturation blow to the enemy in an instant with a dense network of arrows.

However, the advantage of the repeater is the density of the arrows, but the disadvantage is that the lethality is weak, the effective killing radius is only about fifty steps, and it is also when the enemy army is not equipped with a shield.

Therefore, whether it was the defeat of the Qianghu Iron Cavalry at the beginning, or the defeat of the 40,000 Taiping Army before, it was all based on the premise that the other party did not carry a shield.

And now Shi Dakai suffered a loss, so he was on guard, before the battle, he urged Hong Xiuquan to order, to equip the whole army with shields, it is with the not hard wooden shield, Shi Dakai's soldiers can effectively resist the Wei army's dense rain of arrows.

The 70,000 fanatical Taiping troops, holding high their big shields, frantically chopped down the wooden antlers, and in a moment they cut two antlers in a row, and only the last antlers were missing to reach the camp wall.

A few hundred steps away, Hong Xiuquan of the Central Military Department, by the light of the fire, clearly saw the unexpected resistance encountered by Shi Dakai.

"King Dong, it seems that your prediction has been misguided, and Wei Demon has already prepared." Hong Xiuquan glanced at Yang Xiuqing, and there was a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

Yang Xiuqing's brows condensed slightly, his expression was slightly embarrassed, but he sneered again: "What if the Tao Demon has been prepared, we have already taken precautions, his rainstorm crossbow is useless now, what else can he use to stop us from breaking through his camp." ”

Yang Xiuqing was reluctant to admit that he had made a mistake, but the current situation still seemed to be favorable to his army, so Hong Xiuquan couldn't say anything, and his eyes shot at Wei Ying again.

Wei Ying, Central Military Division.

The pottery merchant looked at the enemy's dense shield array as scales outside the camp, and the corners of his mouth raised an unexpected sneer, and sighed: "It seems that the Taiping thieves have not learned a lesson, and finally remember to equip a big shield." ”

Just when the potter sighed, the last antler on the periphery had been cut by the enemy, and tens of thousands of Taiping troops, holding high the big shield through the broken antlers, towards the camp wall, crashed up.

"The repeater is useless, order Li Guang to withdraw." The potter flicked his hands and shot his gaze at Qin Qiong, "Shubao, it's time to watch your performance." ”

"The minister will not let the traitor step into the wall of my camp even half a step!" Qin Qiong received the order with a sigh of relief, danced in a golden costume, and galloped out on horseback.

Qin Qiong walked through the army and shouted: "The spear and shield man has appeared, and he will refuse the camp wall to death!" ”

When the order was passed, the drumbeat in the Wei camp suddenly clicked, and it turned into a hurry.

In an instant, hidden in the darkness, thousands of Wei soldiers rushed out with shouts, like ghost soldiers emerging from the darkness, surging towards the front line of the camp gate.

Almost in the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of large shieldmen held up one-man-high shields, densely lined up on the inside of the camp wall, and erected another shield wall.

Immediately afterwards, tens of thousands of halberders in the back row followed the long halberds and large spears of more than two people, through the gaps between the shields, densely erected.

In an instant, a wall of shields and spears was formed on the inside of the camp wall.

A few seconds later, the wolf-like Taiping soldiers crashed into it like a tide, and suddenly another blade wall appeared inside the Wei camp wall, and the fanatical enemy soldiers were all shocked and shocked.

Obviously, they only thought that the so-called "early preparation" of the Wei army was nothing more than a repetition of the old tricks, ambushing the crossbow battalion in a torrential rain.

Now that the power of the crossbow has been broken by their shield array, they can easily break through the wall of the Wei military camp and crush in.

The fanatical peacekeepers never imagined that in addition to the crossbow battalion, the Wei army's preparations were beyond their imagination, and they even arranged spear and shield men to greet them.

At this moment, the impact speed of the Taiping army was too fast, and the soldiers in the front row noticed that there was a change, and when they wanted to write the letter, they were pushed forward by the soldiers in the back row, and they couldn't stop at all.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of enemy soldiers crashed into the blade wall.

Blood splattered up, rising like a waterfall flowing backwards, staining a dark red curtain of blood over the barracks.

Accompanied by the extremely tragic screams, nearly 2,000 enemy soldiers were instantly pierced into meat skewers.

The penetrating power of the big spear is far better than the arrows of the crossbow, and how can a wooden shield in their hands resist it, so it is strange that it is not pierced into meat skewers.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Shi Dakai's brows couldn't help but condense deeper, and he said in a deep voice: "Look at this situation, the potter didn't just ambush the crossbow, he used all his forces to deal with the battle, the effect of the surprise attack is meaningless, and he can only fight hard in a battle tonight......"

Under the flying thoughts, Shi Dakai took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the vibration in his heart, waved the big shield and shouted: "Soldiers of the Heavenly Kingdom, only allow to enter, not retreat, use your flesh and blood to break through the enemy camp!" ”

Under the solemn encouragement, thousands of holy soldiers of the Taiping Army, ignoring the danger of the Wei army's blade wall, all of them were like wild beasts beaten with chicken blood, and they rushed towards the Wei camp again and again.
