Chapter 346: The Great War
The weapon of the Mo knife is a big killing weapon of the Huashan army, except for making up for the lack of strength, it was specially used in the battle against Fu Qin, and it has not been used in the later war. This is because in the process of practice, some areas for improvement have been discovered! Therefore, later the Ordnance Division was doing this, and the Mo knives in all armies were taken back and transformed.
Later, the Bupo Army was equipped with the first batch of improved Mo knives, but due to the problem of production capacity, other places were not equipped with this weapon.
However, thanks to the gradual use of coal, as well as the increase in iron ore and the expansion of the scale of workshops, the output of Modao has gradually increased.
This time, in order to achieve a quick victory, Zhang Ping's people and horses can be eliminated outside Yongan County at one time as soon as possible. Therefore, Li Xin specially mobilized all the Mo knives into his hands, in addition to the batch of newly produced in the workshop, he also transferred the batch of unbroken army equipment to be used first.
In this way, among his 4,000 people, there are now 1,000 Mo knives. Such a number is definitely very staggering, but the price that Li Xin spent for this is not small.
When the two armies met, the flag waved, and suddenly the first two rows of swords flashed, like snowflakes flying. The shining Mo knife swung up and fell, and in an instant, the thousand Mo knife hands cut straight into Zhang Ping's army.
The soldiers who escaped the arrows and rushed to the front were either lucky or because they were shielded during the charge. Finally rushed to the front, thinking that it was finally safer, and when he was about to fight, he didn't expect the cold light around him to come with the sound of angry shouts.
Whether it's a shield or a few armor-worn soldiers, in front of such a sword light, it is as if it is made of paper. Many people just tried to block, but they already fell.
The Mo swordsmen lined up in two rows, wielding the Mo swords like a wall, and any enemy troops who wanted to rush behind must rush past them first.
But at this moment, in the eyes of the other party, these strange swordsmen are tantamount to devils. For all those who rushed to the front saw them fall down one by one like waves of wheat, and there was no one to stand up again.
And the enemy soldiers who were standing at the front, seeing that the people who rushed in front of them, who were fine just now, were broken into several pieces in the blink of an eye, and their hearts suddenly became extremely frightened.
Among Zhang Ping's army, many of them were civilians who had just been forcibly recruited from all over the country, and when had they ever seen such a scene. At this time, many people were directly frightened and stupid, standing on the battlefield in a daze, waiting to be harvested for their lives.
"What's going on? What's that? Hurry up and rush me, you must rush over and take Li Xin down for me! Zhang Ping, who was standing behind the military formation, originally looked full of confidence! At this time, he suddenly found that there seemed to be a chasm in front of him, and his own soldiers fell there one after another, as if they could not rush through it at all, and he couldn't help but be angry.
"Envoy, that kind of thing seems to be the new weapon used by the Huashan Army, which was rumored before. When they were exterminating Fu Qin, they used this kind of thing, and it was said to be a very powerful big knife! Now it seems that this is exactly the case! Seeing this, the two strategists next to him looked at it carefully for a while, and then said with some uncertainty.
At the time of the Battle of Qinzhou, although the Huashan Army was very cautious about the use of the Mo knife, it was impossible to say that it was completely secret under such a big war. In this way, the word slowly spreads after the fact.
It's just that later, because all the Mo knives were taken back and transformed. Therefore, even if some people want to inquire about the details, they can't do anything! As a result, even today, many people have only heard of this new weapon, but have not actually seen it.
But in any case, the prestige of Modao was spread by those who escaped from the battlefield and eventually left an unforgettable shadow.
"Is that the thing? I thought it was just a rumor, after all, if he really had such a powerful weapon, how could he not use it during the Great War last year? Hearing the strategist's words, Zhang Ping couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Last year, there was not much fighting outside Yong'an County, and Zhuge Xiang's army withdrew with almost no losses. According to Zhang Ping's assumption, if Li Xin had such a terrible weapon, wouldn't he be able to defeat Zhuge Xiang when he used it at that time!
However, it is useless to think about it now, after all, the current battle situation is what matters. Seeing that his soldiers were constantly rushing forward, but they were like moths to a fire, and they couldn't penetrate the opponent's blockade at all, Zhang Ping's heart began to sink.
"Let the archers come forward and shoot them with arrows!" After thinking for a while, Zhang Ping said in a deep voice.
"Well, that's not good! Envoy, there are our soldiers fighting the enemy ahead! If you release an arrow at this time, you won't injure your own people by mistake! When the general next to him heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised.
At this moment, the army is glued together, and the front is fighting, and if you let the archers go to the front at this time, it is simply no different from sending them to death.
And if you don't go to the front, it means that it is an indiscriminate attack, and the group of soldiers who are fighting with the Huashan Army in the front will definitely become victims.
"Is there anything better you can do? The Huashan army attacked fiercely, if we don't quickly repel these people at the front, how can we deal with Li Xin and them in the back? It is also worth giving up some of the soldiers in exchange for the final victory! Don't go ahead and give the order! Seeing the expressions of the people around him, Zhang Ping couldn't help but scold.
Hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but be silent, and everyone knew that there was nothing wrong with that. If you think about the big picture, it seems to be exactly that! If Li Xin and the others can be eliminated in the end, the benefits obtained are indeed nothing compared to the little human lives paid.
Soon, the order was handed down. The archers, who had already finished their attacks before the attack and retreated to the back of the formation, rushed into the battlefield again, and they had already been ordered, and the target was the fierce long swordsmen in front of them.
These archers shuttled through the crowd, and it didn't take long for them to rush to the front of the formation, and when they saw it clearly, they immediately opened their bows and arrows.
The other soldiers around him who were fending off the Mo Dao Men slowed down their charge slightly. After all, everyone knows that if you go forward at this time, you will be sent to death! Maybe he hasn't rushed to the front yet, and he hangs himself with an arrow behind him.
Li Xin, who was standing in the middle of the military formation, was not particularly far from the battlefield in front of him at this time, so he quickly discovered this slight change.
"This flat still has a bit of a brain, and he actually thought of using a bow and arrow to deal with the Mo knife hand. If this was before, it might really be unstoppable, but now these Mo swordsmen are all armored. Unless they are all sharpshooters, ordinary bows and arrows don't have much effect at all! After looking at it, Li Xin smiled.
Speaking of which, it has to do with what he had in mind at the beginning! Because the Mo Daoist is the closest soldier to the enemy, his own protection is naturally the most important. From the beginning of the founding of the army, the issue of armor and weapons was raised to a very high height by him.
With the efforts of the past few years, this problem has been greatly solved. Especially in this battle, because he expected its difficulty, Li Xin basically equipped the 10,000-strong army with the best equipment.
"Even so, there are too many enemy troops, and if you rely on Mo Dao alone, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to repel them!" Tu Qi also followed aside, and said at this time.
"Naturally, it is impossible for Mo Daoist to solve this war, and it will be time for us to make a move after a while!" Li Xin stared closely at the battlefield in front of him and said.
At this time, the situation on the battlefield has not changed much, although the appearance of archers has caused a certain threat to the Mo Daomen, and a few of them are more unlucky and injured, but the general trend has not changed.
On the contrary, it was the archers on the other side, because the soldiers around them were clever enough to dodge, so they were exposed. In this way, the Mo Dao Hand naturally focused on them.
Everyone shouted slogans while striding forward. Those archers saw that the people in front of them were dying more and more, and the Huashan army was killing them fiercely, and many of them were almost unable to hold their bows.
"Good! Command, the whole army attack! Seeing this scene, Li Xin knew that the time had come, and immediately ordered.
"Kill!" With an angry roar, Li Xin pointed the Mo knife in his hand in the direction of Zhang Ping, and the surrounding three thousand troops shouted in unison and rushed towards the enemy.
On the battlefield, it was already very difficult to block the enemy army, but at this time, he suddenly heard the sound of the sky and the earth cracking, and saw the Huashan Army Brigade killed, and the panic in his heart was naturally stronger.
On the contrary, when the Mo swordsmen heard the support from the rear, they suddenly became even more courageous and high-spirited. In a short distance, Li Xin and the others quickly killed each other, and the armies of the two sides were intertwined in a blink of an eye, and they fought with each other.
"Hurry up, let the armies come forward and surround me! Don't let them run away! Seeing this scene, Zhang Ping was not surprised, and hurriedly ordered.
At this time, there were thousands of troops beside him, after all, the battlefield was so wide, it was impossible to put all the troops into it at once. More than 10,000 people in the early stage were actually enough, but he was afraid that it would not be enough, and he was even more afraid that he would not be able to stop Li Xin.
Therefore, seeing Li Xin's whole army attacking, he also ordered to pour out, just wanting to completely defeat Li Xin's army by virtue of the advantage of numbers. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Eastern Jin Dynasty Tang Wang's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
