Countless sharp arrows overwhelmingly bombarded the Wei army's big shield, but they were not able to shoot through, and all of them were bounced off. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"This king's strong crossbow can't shoot through Wei Demon's shield, how is this possible?" Yang Xiuqing blurted out in shock, and her face changed color in astonishment.

Hong Xiuquan's face also changed color in an instant, and on his hideous and gloomy face, the arrogance collapsed in a blink of an eye, and it was replaced by the same shock and incomprehension.

Not only them, but Li Xiucheng and his 40,000 soldiers all looked shocked and puzzled.

The potter laughed.

Of course, it is impossible for the Taiping army to know that Ma Chao is the most elite Xiliang Army, and the big shield it is equipped with is a strong shield made of thick wooden cowhide and iron sheet.

This kind of big shield can't be shot through even a three-stone heavy crossbow!

When the battle to destroy Qin, Ma Chao relied on this shield cavalry legion, causing great trouble to the potters, if it were not for the potters to prepare such sharp weapons as crossbows in advance, it was really possible to be driven across the Yellow River by Ma Chao, and whether Qin could be destroyed at that time was unknown

Now, the potters are going to use this unusual shield cavalry army to clean up the Taiping army.

Back then, the potters were able to break the shield cavalry army because they had artifacts such as ballistas, how could the Taiping army have such advanced weapons, and naturally they could not break Ma Chao's shield cavalry array.

"Wei Demon's shield is so strong, even crossbow arrows can't wear through it!" Li Xiucheng's brows were deep, and a hint of shock and surprise burst out of his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, he ordered the whole army to stand firm, not to take a step back, and to prepare to meet the onslaught of Wei Cai.

Based on Li Xiucheng's knowledge, he saw that although Wei Cai had a strong shield and extremely strong defense, if he wanted to break through his spear and shield array, he still needed to launch a charge and rely on the impact of the cavalry to break the formation.

In this way, no matter how strong the Wei army is, it will not help, after all, it will still have to collide head-on, and at that time, Wei Qi will be pierced in the meat skewer by his spear.

When the order was passed, the Taiping soldiers suppressed the shock, and all of them regained their fanaticism, clenched the big guns in their hands, raised the big shields in their hands, and prepared to deal with the wild rush of Wei cavalry.

The 10,000 Wei army's shield cavalry array, but under the command of Ma Chao, slowly pressed towards the enemy, advancing to thirty-five steps, but never broke the formation and charged.

The Taiping army began to feel uneasy, and was dizzy by the unusual tactics of the Wei cavalry, and they didn't know why.

"This Ma Chao, what tricks does he want to play?" Li Xiucheng also frowned, looking puzzled.

Just when Li Xiucheng and his soldiers were suspicious and uneasy, Ma Chaoying's face was already burning with a fierce killing machine, and with a move of the silver gun in his hand, he shouted: "Spear team, attack!" ”

Woo woo -

The horn of the attack finally sounded, and the more than a dozen tortoiseshell shield cavalry formations quickly split into empty spaces, and nearly 3,000 light horsemen flew out of the air and rushed towards the Taiping army formation.

Seeing that the Wei army sent light cavalry to charge into battle, Li Xiucheng breathed a sigh of relief and sneered: "Sure enough, this king guessed correctly, Ma Chao, you still have to charge in a split formation after all!" ”

The suspicion on Li Xiucheng's face suddenly dissipated, and he shouted the order, ordering the whole army to prepare, the shield hand stood firm, and the gunman held the big gun tightly, who dared to take half a step back, and he would not be forgiven!

He has absolute self-confidence, although the Wei army relied on the big shield and successfully approached his own army, but he still has the killing move of the gun and shield, and the Wei army broke out of the formation is just a light horse, and it is simply sending the general to death like this.

Li Xiucheng and his soldiers were as fierce as fire, as if they had seen the happy picture of countless Wei cavalry rushing up, but being pierced into meat skewers by the blade wall.

Thirty steps -

Twenty Steps-

There were only ten steps left, and the Wei army's light cavalry was about to collide with the general.

At this moment, Li Xiucheng's eyes suddenly gathered, and a deep look of surprise flashed.

He saw that the thousands of light horsemen rushing towards the Wei army did not hold swords and guns in their hands, but held a spear high as a weapon!

And Wei Qi, who rushed over, suddenly turned around the moment he hit the blade wall, and wiped it in front of his spear and shield array.

In the blink of an eye, the thousands of Wei cavalry roared and threw the spears and guns in their hands with all their might.

More than 3,000 spears and guns, at a distance of ten paces, shot fiercely at the Taiping army.

Puff puff!

The blood light rose to the sky, piercing the big shield of the Taiping Army in an instant, and ruthlessly stabbing the holy soldiers hiding inside out.

In the entire Taiping Array, the screams were loud for a while.

The spears thrown by the Wei army were already extremely sharp, and they shot wildly at such a close distance, and the big shields and armor of the Taiping army were as vulnerable as paper paste in front of them, and they were easily pierced.

What's more, after the spear pierced one person, the strength was not lost, and it was able to pierce the second enemy pawn as well.

What a terrifying penetrating power!

In addition, spears and guns are different from arrows, the diameter is far better than that of arrows, but if they are shot, they are either killed on the spot, or they immediately lose their combat effectiveness, and the lethality is terrifying.

Moreover, at such a close distance, the enemy has no time to dodge, and the accuracy of more than 3,000 spears is terrifyingly high, close to 100 shots!

Under the spear gun, more than 3,000 shield bearers of the Taiping Army were instantly pierced into meat skewers and fell to the ground.

The enemy soldiers who were shot were basically killed instantly, and the enemy soldiers who were lucky enough to be alive were even worse, either pierced through the stomach or pierced through the shoulder, or even two or three people were strung together, and fell to the ground for a long time and could not die, only howling in pain.

Among the enemy troops, the sound of exclamation was everywhere for a while, and even the fanatical Taiping Holy Soldiers were shocked to change their minds in the face of such a cruel killing method.

Li Xiucheng's expression changed even more in shock, his face instantly turned pale as paper, and he exclaimed: "Spear gun!" Wei Demon is actually attacking with a spear! How is this possible? How can there be such cavalry in this world? ”

For a while, from Li Xiucheng to ordinary soldiers, they all fell into panic and fear.

Ma Chao showed no mercy, and ordered his knights to constantly shoot spears and spears at the enemy formation.

Because the distance was so close, the enemy's crossbowmen were useless, and they didn't dare to split the formation, so they could only watch the Wei army's light cavalry finish throwing a round of spears and guns, calmly go back to the formation to replenish the spears, and then cycle out and throw another round......

In a moment, the Wei army had thrown more than 20,000 spears and guns, and nearly 14,000 Taiping troops were stabbed to death.

In the enemy formation, there were countless dead and wounded soldiers, and the ground under their feet was soaked in blood and mud with blood, and the surviving soldiers were stepping on the corpses of their comrades and making stubborn resistance.

The will of the Taiping army is also really fanatical, it is really like a war machine, all of them have killed and injured one-third of their troops, in exchange for any army in the world, I am afraid that it has already collapsed at this time, but this Taiping army is still standing, stubbornly holding on!

They shouted the slogan "Fight for Heaven" as if it were an anesthetic, and lost their spirits and made them swear to die like puppets.

Facing the enemy who would rather die than retreat, Ma Chao also had a trace of amazement in his eyes, but he snorted coldly: "I'd rather die than retreat, right, very good, that will kill you all today, I see how long you can last!" ”

At that moment, Ma Chao did not show any mercy, and continued to order the cavalry, endlessly launching spear attacks on the enemy.

Thousand......

Two thousand ......

Three thousand......

Under the spears and spears that shot wildly in the air, thousands of enemy soldiers were ruthlessly stabbed to death, and the casualties of the Taiping army had reached 20,000, more than half of the number.

No matter how fanatical they were, they were no longer afraid of death, but under such a tragic blow, the morale of the army gradually began to waver.

And because ordinary soldiers were brainwashed, they were able to resist frantically and fearlessly, driven by the belief of "fighting for the kingdom of heaven".

Li Xiucheng is different, as the founder of the country, although he has a lofty status, he knows very well that the so-called slogan of "fighting for the kingdom of heaven" is just a ** used by them, the superiors, to brainwash those ignorant holy soldiers and make them fight for their death.

It's okay to let the soldiers fight to the death, but if you want them to sacrifice desperately, it can't be done.

Li Xiucheng's brows had condensed into the word "Sichuan", his eyes were surging with an anxious look, and even a trace of fear quietly flashed in his eyes.

Because his mind is always clear, he knows very well that relying on fanatical fighting spirit alone will not be able to save the defeat, and now that the defeat is decided, no matter how hard he continues, there will only be the end of the total annihilation.

And he, who is loyal to the king, will also be humiliated by the spear and gun attack of the Wei army with these 40,000 soldiers.

"Damn, if I continue to die like this, I, Li Xiucheng, have to die here, I'm not reconciled......" Li Xiucheng's thoughts were flying, and he secretly had the intention of retreating.

At that moment, two spears pierced through the blood mist and headed straight for him.

Li Xiucheng lost his mind for a while, and when he reacted suddenly, the spear was already whistling, he was taken aback, he didn't think about it in a hurry, he was in a hurry to raise his knife to block.

Bang Bang!

With the sound of two shocks, the two spears were forcefully pushed away by him, and in a hurry, one spear passed by, and the blade still hurt his shoulder.

Blood splattered, and the pain to the bones struck all over the body in an instant, causing Li Xiucheng's body to tremble violently.

The sharp pain also stimulated Li Xiucheng's senses, causing him to calm down instantly and feel the horror of death.

"No, I, Li Xiucheng, can't die here, I can't—" The thoughts in his heart rolled, and Li Xiucheng gritted his teeth fiercely and made up his mind.

He immediately endured the sharp pain in his shoulder, turned his horse, and shouted: "The whole army retreats, the whole army retreats!" ”

In the shouting, Li Xiucheng was wounded on his horse and fled in the direction of the Chinese army.

No matter how fanatical the fighting spirit of the Taiping army is, as soon as the main general leaves, the fighting spirit will immediately collapse, and the remaining 20,000 infantry troops will flee like ants in a nest.

Enemy troops, collapse!

The corners of Ma Chao's mouth raised an unexpected sneer, waved the silver gun in his hand, and shouted fiercely: "The whole army will crack the formation and attack, kill all the traitors for the Son of Heaven, and leave no one behind!" ”

Woo woo woo -

The clarion call for an all-out attack was finally sounded completely, resounding in the morning sky.

The Great Wei Iron Cavalry, who were originally forming a tortoiseshell shield array, burst into formation, like a torrent of broken embankments, and rolled towards the defeated enemy army.

Hundreds of steps away, Hong Xiuquan watched Li Xiucheng collapse, the whole person had stiffened into a stone statue, and his mouth was frightened: "How can this be, how can it become like this......"
