Chapter 199: Easy Victory

Li An stretched out his hand and pointed, and the soldiers of the transport team immediately pulled over sixty sets of plate armor. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Later generations of European plate armor, its comprehensive performance may not be as good as the Tang Mingguang armor, but his defense is absolutely first-class, in terms of defensive capabilities, no armor in the world can be compared with plate armor, this airtight armor can be immune to all bow and crossbow shots, and the protection against blunt weapon heavy blows is also more than other armor.

In the battle of attacking a strong fortress, plate armor can be a good defense against the attack of the defender, so that the attacker can greatly reduce the battle damage.

"General, what kind of broken armor is this, it's really ugly."

Nan Jiyun picked up a pair of plate armor and frowned, indeed, compared to the heroic and handsome Mingguang armor, these plate armor looked subgrade, especially the helmet wrapped in iron sheet, it was too ugly.

Ang Lee smiled: "Hurry up and put it on!" This plate armor is a bit ugly, but he is immune to crossbow shots, making his soldiers less damaged. ”

Nan Jiyun received the order and immediately ordered the soldiers under his command to change into plate armor, and held iron shields and special long knives, and lined up in an attack formation.

Dozens of soldiers of the reconnaissance team, wearing airtight plate armor, looked like iron men, giving people an unstoppable momentum.

Li An made a look, and Nan Jiyun understood, and immediately ordered an attack.

Suddenly, dozens of ironclad soldiers, carrying six ladders and pushing two large siege vehicles, slowly marched towards the wall defended by the bandits.

The soldiers of the first regiment just hid behind the giant shields and fired arrows at the wall controlled by the bandits to suppress the bandits' firepower, while the soldiers of the reconnaissance team rushed to the wall with all their might, preparing to set up ladders and siege engines to launch a strong attack on the wall.

The bandits on the wall, suppressed by the bows and crossbows of the first regiment, could not raise their heads, but they still fired arrows from the shooting holes from time to time to shoot at the Pingnan army, but they were all blocked by the giant shields.

"Big ghost master, the Pingnan army is about to attack, and the cloud ladder has already come."

"Big ghost lord, what's that huge guy?"

"Great Ghost Lord, Iron Man."

The bandits on the wall were all frightened by the iron man carrying the ladder, they had never seen this kind of armor, and the fear in their hearts could be imagined.

He covered his body with a shield, stretched out his head and looked down, and saw the reconnaissance team of the Pingnan Army, wearing iron armor and attacking in a neat formation, and immediately gasped.

Once again, he really felt the momentum of the Pingnan Army, and his original idea of counting on holding the camp was shaken a little.

"Arrows, arrows."

The invincible gave the order to counterattack hoarsely, and until the last moment, he would not admit defeat.

"Whoosh ......"

As the scout team passed between the huge shields of the first regiment and reached the front, the bandits' arrows were all fired at the soldiers of the scout.

"Jingle ......"

The arrows landed on the plate armor and iron shields, making a crisp sound, but they did not cause any real damage to the officers and men of the Pingnan Army's reconnaissance team.

The officers and men of the reconnaissance team of the Pingnan Army did not stop at all, and walked step by step towards the wall defended by the bandits.

Seeing that the rain of arrows could not stop the footsteps of the Pingnan army, the ladders and siege vehicles were approaching the walled wall step by step, and the bandits who defended were frightened and did not know what to do.

"Big ghost master, the iron armor of the Pingnan Army is invulnerable!"

"Big ghost master, there is a way out of the cottage, in case we can't hold on, we have a way to escape."

The invincible said angrily: "Don't panic, prepare stones, prepare to smash them with stones." ”

Just when the bandits on the walled wall were deployed in a panic, the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance team of the Pingnan Army had already put the ladder on the wall, and two large siege vehicles were also close to the city wall, and stretched out the folding ladder and buckled it to the city wall.

Nan Jiyun took the lead and shouted: "Soldiers, attack the city, and the first to attack the city will be rewarded." ”

After saying that, he personally boarded a siege vehicle and launched an attack on the city walls.

Suddenly, dozens of soldiers of the Pingnan Army wearing plate armor, holding shields in their left hands, launched a fierce attack on the wall defended by the bandits along the ladders of the ladders and siege vehicles.

In order to cover the soldiers of the Pingnan Army who were attacking the fortifications, the arrows of the first regiment and the bed crossbows of the siege team never stopped firing at the wall.

Of course, the bandits did not give up resistance, they had no way to retreat, and if they did not insist on defense, what awaited them was a dead end.

A large number of stones fell from the wall defended by the bandits, smashed on the shields of the soldiers of the Pingnan Army, and also smashed on the bodies of the soldiers of the Pingnan Army, however, with the super protection of the plate armor, these stone attacks could not cause substantial damage to the soldiers of the Pingnan Army, and many of the soldiers of the Pingnan Army who fell down the ladder were not killed, but only injured.

Nan Jiyun took the lead, always rushing to the front, he skillfully used the shield in his left hand to form an inclined defense, as long as the stone fell, he could offset the damage as much as possible, and let the large stone roll down the iron shield, rolling to the ground.

"Great ghost master, the Pingnan army is irresistible, so many stones can't stop them, we have to find another way."

"Big ghost master, the main force of the Pingnan Army has not yet been dispatched, and we are already difficult to resist, if we continue like this, we will definitely not be able to hold the cottage, so let's escape!"

"Great Ghost Lord, we fled to the planing land, this is our only way to live."

The invincible was furious and scolded: "Shut up for me, have you forgotten?" There is only one way out of the cottage, and we have no way out, so we will defend with all my strength and show desperate strength. ”

The bandit leaders had no choice but to continue to command their brothers, throw stones at the besieging Pingnan army, and inflict some damage on the soldiers of the besieging Pingnan army.

"Ghost master, it looks like you really can't hold it! The strength of the Pingnan army is much stronger than we expected, and we have already killed and wounded many brothers, but the Pingnan army has suffered very few casualties, and if this continues, they will soon climb the city wall. ”

Jian Wushu frowned, and said softly: "Let these guys continue to defend here, and our brothers retreat to the second line of defense, go quickly." ”

At the height of the fighting, he let his henchmen withdraw from the wall and run into the interior of the village, leaving the nearby bandits to take refuge in the defense.

After giving the order that he must not retreat, he himself also evacuated the wall and went to the interior of the cottage.

"Ghost master, the strength of the Pingnan Army is too strong, it seems that we can only leave here."

"Ghost Master, it's time to use the cave."

He nodded and led his henchmen to the cave in the middle of the stockade.

The cave is a natural cave, and in the summer heat, the inside of the cave is very cool, and this cave leads to the outside world, so you can escape from the cottage without noticing.

Since this is the last way to retreat, for this reason, there are very few people who know the secrets of this cave, only the invincible and a few henchmen, and now the cottage is imminent, and it is time to use the cave here.

"All brethren, evacuate immediately, quickly."

Completely frightened by the strong strength of the Pingnan Army, he decided to give up the strong cottage that had been in operation for a long time, withdraw to the planing land, and take refuge in his own brother to settle down.

He and his brothers quietly evacuated the cottage and let the nearby bandits who took refuge block the attack of the Pingnan Army, but how could these rabble be the opponents of the well-trained and well-equipped Pingnan Army, and under the sharp attack of the Pingnan Army, they soon could not support it.

The Pingnan army's arrow rain attack caused them heavy casualties, and they were unable to carry out an effective attack on the Pingnan army generals who climbed the ladder, and after the piled stones were used up, they could no longer effectively block the Pingnan army's attack on the city.

Nan Jiyun, who participated in the siege of the city, obviously felt that the strength of the bandits' defense had weakened, and he took this opportunity to command his men and horses to attack with all his might, and soon climbed to the top of the wall.

A spear poked at Nan Jiyun's chest, Nan Jiyun did not dodge, took this trick hard, and quickly smashed the gun with the shield in his left hand, at the moment when the gun was broken, Nan Jiyun jumped up and jumped on the wall, killing the bandit, and then a number of soldiers of the Pingnan Army jumped on the wall and fought with the bandits above.

The bandits on the walled wall have an absolute numerical advantage, but they are all scattered sand, and the soldiers of the reconnaissance team of the Pingnan Army are all elite soldiers, and they are equipped with impermeable plate armor, and they are not afraid of bandits hundreds of times higher.

Of course, the Pingnan Army is so domineering, in addition to its own absolute strength, the thousands of Pingnan Army soldiers behind are their strong backing, and these thousands of soldiers can be reinforced at any time and give the bandits a fatal blow.

"General, our army has climbed the wall of the bandits, and the bandits' cottage can no longer be defended."

"General, the defense of this plate armor is really powerful, and it is invulnerable."

Li An smiled, and said: "The soldiers are doing well, but the bandits are too weak, their defense means are not only swords, but also bows and crossbow stones, if they use fire oil to defend the village, our army's casualties will not be small, the plate armor defense arrows are invincible, and the defense is not bad, but it can't be fireproof!" ”

Obviously, Li An was not carried away by the victory, and the current offensive was quite smooth, but this was because the enemy was not strong enough and the defensive means were too simple, so that the Pingnan army quickly attacked the wall, and today, many foreign enemy armies are much stronger than these bandits, and the means of defense are more terrifying, if you want to defeat these potential strong enemies, you must continue to work hard to make the Pingnan army more powerful.

"The order was given, the first regiment immediately stepped forward to reinforce, and the second regiment followed up and prepared to enter the cottage."

At this moment, the bandits were no longer able to manage the Pingnan Army outside the village, and the arrow attack on the first regiment also stopped, Li An made a decision and decisively issued an order for reinforcements.

"Kill ......"

The soldiers of the 1st Regiment of the Pingnan Army, abandoning the giant shield, quickly ran towards the ladders, and climbed along these erected ladders to the city wall.

At this moment, the bandits on the defense completely collapsed, they were dozens to one comparison, they could not hurt the reconnaissance team of the Pingnan Army, and now, the first regiment of the Pingnan Army began to approach the wall step by step, and a large number of follow-up officers and soldiers of the Pingnan Army came over like a tide.

There is no hope of holding the wall, and there is no point in dying in vain.

"Run! Run! ”

A large number of bandits threw away their weapons and ran towards the interior of the cottage like headless flies.

"Chase and kill the fleeing enemy, chase and kill the fleeing enemy."

Nan Jiyun shouted loudly and asked his soldiers to pursue the fleeing bandits.

However, the soldiers of the reconnaissance team, equipped with heavy plate armor, greatly increased their defense, but their actions were not agile enough, so they were obviously a little unable to pursue the fleeing bandits, but the soldiers of the first regiment who followed up on the city wall quickly launched a pursuit of the fleeing bandits.

Nan Jiyun was already out of breath as soon as he ran down the city wall, firstly because the plate armor was not suitable for fast running, and secondly, because of the fierce battle just now, and the physical exertion was too great.

The soldiers of other reconnaissance teams are the same, and they can't run when they chase them under the wall.

"Open the gate, open the gate."

Nan Jiyun gave up continuing to pursue the bandits, and together with several soldiers, opened the thick gate built by the bandits.

"General, the gate of the fortress has been opened, and we have broken through the bandit camp."

Li An was overjoyed and ordered: "The eighth regiment will stay to protect the baggage regiment and the siege team, the cavalry team will also stay, the medical team will immediately treat the wounded, and the rest of the men and horses will enter the cottage with Ben and drive." ”

The main force of the Pingnan Army, under the leadership of Li An, quickly entered the invincible lair and pursued the fleeing bandits.

The cave is in a relatively hidden location, and these fleeing bandits are all panicked, so it is naturally not easy to find the location of the cave, besides, they don't know the existence of the cave at all, but they are just curious about where the invincible escaped to.

The cottage is surrounded by towering cliffs, naturally can not be used as an escape road, seeing that the Pingnan army is gathering more and more, these bandits who usually act as a prestige can only gather together and wait for the verdict of death.

"General, when we rushed in, there were only these people left."

Li An took a look, surrounded by the officers and soldiers of the Pingnan Army, there were only five or six hundred bandits, but according to his prior reconnaissance, there should be nearly two thousand people in the bandits' lair, in addition to the hundreds of bandits who were eliminated, there should be at least more than a thousand people left, why are there only five or six hundred people left.

"General, what to do with these bandits."

Li An smiled lightly: "There is a shortage of coolies in the gourd valley, let them go to the gourd valley to work and be coolies." ”

The general of the ministry understood and shouted: "The general is merciful, all the prisoners are forgiven, and they will be taken to the gourd valley immediately." ”

The seven hundred soldiers of the first and second regiments immediately escorted the five or six hundred bandit captives back to Hulu Valley, and Li An also learned from the mouths of these captives the fact that the invincible group had disappeared, and asked his soldiers to look for them in the bandit cottage.

"General, in this battle, most of the soldiers of our department were wounded, and eight soldiers were seriously injured, all of whom were injured by stones."

Nan Jiyun strode over and reported the results to Li An. (To be continued.) )
