Chapter 948: Euphorbia
The one-handed dominance of the trial directly raised the scale of the battle to a notch.
What was supposed to be a battle of temptation and performance escalated into a tragic all-out fight.
Liu Beijun's overall battle losses were close to thirty percent, but with the blessing of Liu Bei's monarchial talent, he did not collapse at all and was still fighting hard.
And Chen Zhijun's soldiers were all highly motivated, and they couldn't show that they had been fighting for a long time, and they had lost nearly half of them. The strength of his will is simply amazing.
The originally scattered Bai'er elite soldiers had gathered together again at this time, forming a formation under the leadership of Chen Zhi and directly penetrating into the core of the besieged Northern Hun Army.
After that earth-shattering sword, Guan Yu's army inevitably fell into a state of weakness, but it still maintained eighty percent of its combat strength, and under the leadership of Guan Yu, it continued to harvest the enemy army from the side.
And Zhang Fei, who led the iron cavalry, directly chopped the waves and killed the ten thousand troops, although it was only two thousand elite horses. However, when the Northern Xiongnu fell into chaos and their speed was limited, the two thousand iron horsemen who soared up to speed were still unstoppable.
Zhang Fei held the Zhangba snake spear to the Northern Huns to completely show what a reckless man was, and he stabbed people when he saw them, and there was almost no enemy under the spear.
There is no shortage of warriors among the Northern Huns, although few can match Zhang Fei, and several people are enough to resist.
But Zhang Fei was reckless on the surface, but in fact, he was coarse and fine, and he didn't give them a chance to join the circle at all. Knowing that the few soldiers under his command should not be entangled, he urged the black horse under his crotch to the extreme, and he was bent on breaking through and ignoring it. But when he was attacked by a strong enemy, he was stunned for a moment by a loud shout, and then the spear stabbed and shook it off.
At this time, the trapped Northern Xiongnu were already in a dilemma, and the Euphorbia and Chexia Hushi had gradually stood up at this time, blocking the rear of the Northern Xiongnu.
Six thousand heavy steps, although it can't completely plug the gap, it is enough to stop most of it. On the one hand, the gap left can prevent the Northern Xiongnu from having no way to escape and be aroused to the death, and on the other hand, it can also avoid the Northern Xiongnu cavalry on the periphery from attacking with all their strength and attacking inside and outside.
As a military soul legion, and well-equipped, in the face of these weapons to the use of bone arrows of the Northern Hun cavalry, both legions tacitly agreed to line the legion in a column of five, three facing the external Northern Huns, and two facing the inside.
There are only five people in a column, which seems to be extremely weak defense, but it also depends on who the enemy is facing.
Whether it is the halberd who is the best at fighting against miscellaneous soldiers, or the tiger warrior who specializes in cavalry, he is undoubtedly the absolute nemesis of the Northern Hun cavalry.
The Euphorbia and the Chexia Tiger are actually very short, both exist to chase a certain extreme, not for their own strength, so they will never be able to achieve the all-round strength of the normal army soul legion.
Because of Yuan Shao's monarchical talent and combat methods, what Yuan Shao is not afraid of is that the opponent is more elite, and he takes the combat method of crushing the troops. And the existence of the Euphorbia is to empty the opponent's miscellaneous troops to the greatest extent and expand the gap in strength.
The Euphorbia pursues the ultimate lethality rather than combat effectiveness, and is invincible to miscellaneous soldiers, but it is powerless against elite legions. Especially for the same army soul legion, it is basically abolished.
If the Northern Xiongnu's wolf cavalry is dispatched, I am afraid that it will be easy to break through the defense line of the Euphorbia, but it is a pity that the Northern Xiongnu are destined to be unable to attack with all their might. Even if the Northern Xiongnu used the Sky Wolf Cavalry, the trial had his response. The battle system of Euphorbia and Yuan Shao was originally a perfect combination and complemented each other.
And the shortcomings of the tiger under the car are even more obvious, the pursuit of the ultimate defense, but not as strong as the trapped camp, can only be a meat shield. On this basis, although some offensive means have been added, which is enough to be called a cavalry nemesis, the lethality is still extremely lacking in the face of foot soldiers. It can be said that the Chexia Tiger Warrior is the most restrained by miscellaneous soldiers in the Army Soul Legion, which is completely opposite to the Euphorbia, of course, this does not include cavalry.
Although they couldn't see the details, the Northern Hun cavalry could naturally distinguish that the two heavy infantry in front of them were elite, but at this time they had no choice. The encircled Northern Hun cavalry did not stupidly huddle up and retreat from the gap between the two legions that had been left.
The Northern Xiongnu Xiaoshuai knew that the Han people would not be so kind to let them live. Once the formation is loose and the fighting spirit is lost, they will definitely be greeted by a slaughter.
"In a desperate situation, you can survive by breaking through the enemy formation. The whole army rushed to kill the enemy's formation, dared to break and flee the fearful of battle, and there was no mercy for killing! The Northern Hun Xiaoshuai shouted angrily with a spear in his hand.
There is a blockade in front, there is hunting and chasing soldiers in the back, the Northern Xiongnu at this time are completely imprisoned, and only by fighting to the death can there be a glimmer of life.
"Kill!"
The north wind was howling, and the Northern Hun cavalry, whose eyes were red, rushed forward regardless of it.
When faced with a desperate situation, the weak will sit and wait to die, while the strong will sacrifice their lives, and the Northern Xiongnu obviously do not belong to the former. The encirclement of the Han army aroused their desire to fight to the death, and their morale skyrocketed.
The eyes of the Northern Huns Xiaoshuai were firmly fixed on the Northern Hun cavalry who rushed to the forefront and were about to collide with the Euphorbia and the Tiger under the car, and his eyes were full of solemnity and worry.
Although his tribe was provoked to die by himself, he knew that it was only temporary. People's hearts are always the most difficult thing to control, once the attack does not go smoothly and cannot shake the defense of the Han army, as long as one person passes through the gap left by the Han army's military formation, the morale will inevitably plummet, and the imitators are like clouds, they are afraid that the whole army will be annihilated.
Gritting his teeth, this little marshal is also a decisive person, and said to his relatives around him: "Atu Da, you lead five hundred horsemen to supervise the army from the side, and aim at the gap in the Han army's shield array, once a clansman in my tribe abandons the battle and flees, no matter who it is, they will be shot!" No one should be allowed to avoid the battle! ”
"Yes!"
"Kill the rest with me! We are the descendants of the Kunlun God, and we will never be cowards even if we die. ”
After saying that, Xiao Shuai whipped his crotch and got off his horse, holding a spear and rushing forward to kill. At this time, he had no way back, only desperately.
"Courage is commendable. But if it is useful to work hard, what is the point of strength and strategy. Zhang He looked at the Northern Huns who were charging towards him, and his expression was extremely indifferent.
After the white horse Yicong who had just passed Gongsun Zhan, there was no cavalry in the world that could move him somewhat. If the wolf rode here, maybe he would be a little more cautious, but these weak chickens in front of him.
With a wave of his big hand, different from the heavy shield of the tiger under the car, although the halberd is heavily armed, he does not hold a shield, but holds a halberd and a crossbow at his waist.
Xu You did not show up in the decisive battle between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, but later defected as Yuan Shu's old friend and abandoned Yuan Shao on the surface. But in fact, Yuan Shu knew what the situation was.
But after all, the person who "borrowed" Yuan Shao, Xu You has been doing his best since then. Therefore, Yuan Shu did not refuse some of Xu You's requests, and paid him a salary. Moreover, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are also brothers anyway, and if they don't deal with each other, they are closer than Cao Cao and Liu Bei, so it is reasonable to help.
And among them, mainly include the halberds and crossbows in the hands of 3,000 euphorbias.
The special euphorbia made of 100 steels is nearly three zhang long, if it weren't for the fact that the halberd soldiers are all elite in the army, and they are majestic, eight feet tall, and they really can't play. The hand crossbow is made by the Mo family, although there are only three rounds, but the lethality is amazing, the operation is simple and easy to carry, it can be called an artifact.
The three thousand halberds were also lined up in five rows, three of which were facing inward, scattered and scattered, nearly five feet apart from each other.
The hand crossbow was wound, and the crossbow was fired, although it was only three arrows, but the strength was strong, like cutting wheat, and the Northern Hun knights fell in a row.
After the three arrows, the crossbow was put back on his waist, and the halberd warrior stood with his halberd in his hand. The Mohist mechanism combined with human mechanics made the crossbow fit perfectly with the armor without affecting the movement at all.
In the face of the oncoming Northern Hun cavalry, the halberd warriors swept with their halberds.
Euphorbia is not dexterous enough to move and attack because of the heavy armor and euphorbia, but it only needs to sweep. The attack range of the halberd nearly three zhang long far exceeded the spear in the Hu cavalry's hand, and even if there were a few elite Northern Hun cavalry holding a spear nearly two zhang long, it was far inferior to the former.
After all, as a cavalryman, in order to avoid affecting the march and facilitating the attack, the spear is basically the limit. The three-zhang long halberd in the hands of the halberd warrior basically only appeared in the chariot battles of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it was difficult to wield such a bulky weapon unless it had undergone special training.
The four basic forms of the halberd method, hooking, pecking, stabbing and cutting, show incomparable power in the hands of the halberd. Between a peck and a thorn, a war horse fell to the ground with serious injuries, and between a hook and a cut, a human head fell to the ground.
Under the shroud of the military spirit, the entire army turned into a harvesting machine, calmly harvesting the heads sent to it.
Zhang He was very happy when he saw this scene.
This is a certain halberd!
Zhang He is also suffering from fate, and he has not been able to show his ability since the birth of the Euphorbia. Because he has always faced the most elite white horse righteous servant under the command of Gongsun Zhan.
In the face of the agile white horse righteous servant, the halberd warrior was hung from the head all the way, and there was no other way except to be forced to exchange his life for his life, which was really untimely.
To this day, the Euphorbia has shown its power. When bullying the weak and bullying the weak, the performance of the Euphorbia is in no way inferior to that of any army soul legion.
