Chapter III. Sword asked Beiyan 196.Hedgehog battle array
With more than one grade of sharp weapons with excellent quality, these big food warriors who have not been trained for a long time really killed the soldiers of the Chang'an battalion by surprise and retreated again and again; But when they saw that their vanguard was about to fight out of the spacious main street; Those soldiers of the Chang'an battalion who were still gritting their teeth and fighting to the death quickly dodged away after hearing a whistle; In the next instant, a group of soldiers holding long shields appeared at the entrance of the street, and they quickly squatted at the entrance of Fangshi Street, blocking each other's way; And he also used his body to firmly rely on the thick iron shield......
Buzz Buzz......
A sound of string control came, and a dense rain of arrows quickly shot from the rooftops on both sides! There was no need to aim, and there was no need to care about hurting allies, and the crossbowmen hidden on the roofs on either side could shoot all the white-feathered arrows in the quiver at great speed; These rapid rain of arrows shot straight at the big food warriors who were crowded in front of the shield soldiers, and the fanatical and bloodthirsty killing intent in their eyes also disappeared.
It wasn't until the rain of arrows had completely stopped, and the big cannibal who had left the corpses all over the ground, that he remembered that he should immediately find cover; As a result, they all clinged to the eaves on both sides, intending to avoid the next round of attack by the Chang'an battalion......
Now, of course, these cannibals know that something must have gone wrong in some part of the plan; However, now whether they can escape from these two narrow streets is an unknown question, and how can they have the leisure to reorganize their thinking?
The weapons at the hands of these big food warriors, in addition to the sharp curved handle of the satinia knife, are only their own broad chests and indomitable courage; But the soldiers of the Chang'an battalion who are guarding their homes and waiting for work at ease obviously have all the strategic materials! If it weren't for the sake of traveling lightly and avoiding startling the snake, then this second round of arrow rain would have been overwhelming!
Whether it's a narrow street that doesn't require great archery skills, or a two-stone longbow that everyone has in hand, it's another desperate ghost that the big cannibals can't resist! Even in the eyes of the commander Chen Ziling, if it weren't for the protection of the buildings in Chang'an City, he could have used rockets to ignite the shops along the street, and then he would lead the army to guard at various intersections, waiting to strangle the thieves who escaped from the fire!
However, this flowery Chang'an City is, after all, the home of every Chang'an battalion soldier; Who would burn their home to the ground for a few mice?
Moreover, if you think that the last barrier of the Xin'an Hou Mansion, the Chang'an Battalion, there is only so much ability at hand; Then it is indeed a miracle of life that he can live with all his beard and tail to this day......
"The fierce battalion formed a formation, flanking the enemy in front and back! The brave battalion soldiers are divided into four routes, strangling scattered thieves along the way! ”
Chen Ziling, who was standing on the roof of the house and commanding the battle, did not want to leave these big food bandits any respite; At present, the humming sound of the bowstring has not completely disappeared, and his next general order has been exported, piercing the silent and deep night sky of Chang'an City......
"Order!"
The sound of response from two directions came out at the same time, and the sound of rhythmic footsteps sounded outside; From this neat voice, it can be heard that the fierce battalion soldiers in Chen Ziling's mouth must be veterans of the battlefield who have been in the war for a long time!
A moment later, the north and south streets of Shengpingfang were filled with 200 Chang'an battalion soldiers with spears in their hands. The expressions of these people were numb, and they looked vacantly at the big thieves who had just poked their heads out from under the eaves, and their expressions were neither pity nor mockery, just peace and indifference, indifference and emptiness. It was as if the black-clad cannibals they saw were not living thieves; It's just a plaque, or a barrel......
Chen Ziling, who was originally lying on the roof of the second floor, had already stood up at this time; With the swing of his right arm, he pulled out the tiger-headed knife behind his back with a bang; He slapped his chest with the broad blade of the knife, and from the dantian he showed a heroic aura, and roared out a killing word that rushed straight into the sky; And none of the four hundred pikemen who attacked in front and behind echoed him; They still wore their numb and indifferent faces, and with neat and heavy steps under their feet, they moved forward unhurriedly......
Pikemen, however, are not a rare class; Wherever there is cavalry in the frontal battlefield, there are often these warriors with spears in their hands, relying on the numerical advantage of several times the enemy; With the orders and prohibitions that are integrated into the blood and bone marrow, and the firmness and courage of Mount Tai falling forward without changing color, in a relatively passive way of resistance, they resist the invincible impact of the cavalry!
However, the war horses on the Huayu Continent are already scarce resources, and no matter which leader they fall into, they are the top treasures that will never be taken lightly; Although the high-grade war horses in the Mobei grassland are inexhaustible, they also lack the technology of mining and smelting, so they have no ability to form heavy cavalry at all; And most of the combat methods they are accustomed to are based on roundabouts, rapid division of the battlefield, and long-distance pursuit and harassment, and they are an out-and-out lightly armed rangers; And the weapons they rely on to kill the enemy are mainly short-range scimitars and medium-distance short bows, and they will not be stupid enough to rely on the impact of war horses to collide head-on with those pikemen phalanx who have already received the battle in advance!
Of course, when the pikemen faced the cavalry charge, most of them stuck their guns in the dirt, and their arms and bodies were only responsible for stabilizing the tip of the spear. Whether it is a wound or a horse, the force exerted depends on the impact of the enemy; All he had to do was tighten the barrel of his gun and wait for a collision with the heavily armored cavalry, which was difficult to turn.
Under such limitations, the pikemen have become a kind of mascot-like symbolic arms in the hands of the soldiers of the Huayu Continent. As for the fight between the infantry troops, it is still the sword and shield soldiers and crossbowmen who sing the leading role.
But now the 400 pikemen before and after are obviously not ordinary honor guards and mascots! Not only their indifferent and ice-like momentum, but even their heights have been carefully selected, looking like the carts of fresh fruit vendors, extremely staggered!
Each of them held the barrel of the gun firmly under his armpit, and his forehand grasped the middle of the gun, the tip of which was either on the shoulders of the brothers in the front row, or simply passing through the gaps between the bodies of the two brothers; From the perspective of the Great Cannibal, these 400 pikemen, like two porcupines or hedgehogs, are slowly approaching them......
These big cannibals looked at each other's numb expressions, and did not doubt the courage and determination of these people in the slightest; However, they themselves are not soft eggs in the mud, and each of them is the most loyal warrior under His Holiness! They are not afraid of death, nor do they lack the courage to fight to the death against the enemy;
Today's situation is in line with an old saying in Huayu Continent: When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins.
Looking at the two hedgehog spears slowly approaching, the leader of the big food also shook his sardin scimitar studded with gems; He also recited aloud the Great Food Sutra that no one could understand; With the sound of his subdued chanting, the expressions of those Great Food Samurai who had just escaped death and were still in shock at this time gradually calmed down; Many people gradually whispered to the scriptures, and the pair of gloomy eyes gradually appeared bloodshots; The muscles and tendons in the arms and neck are also raised to a visible extent...... Obviously, all the Great Food Samurai in this matter are also mentally prepared for a desperate battle with the enemy!
When the two armies met, the pikemen of the Chang'an Yongzi battalion were as calm and quiet as an unshakable mountain; And these big-food warriors who chant sutras in their mouths and are full of fanatical eyes are like firecrackers that explode when they are ignited, panting for breath in their mouths and noses, and secretly accumulating strength! At the end of the verse, the sound of Ullah resounded through the heavens and the earth! The Samurai of the Great Food Eater, each of whom shook the satin knife in his hand, screamed and killed the two teams of spearmen in the north and south respectively.
"Kill!"
Chen Ziling's general order was concise and to the point, and he shook the tiger-headed big sword in his hand, and the tip of the knife pointed directly at the leader of the Great Food Samurai who was bowing down in the direction of the sun!
The composition of the spear is very simple, and the cost is extremely low; One end is an extremely common ash rod, while the other is a spear head made of fine iron. Moreover, when he encountered the Satin knife of the Great Food Country, even if it was a sword of steel and iron bones, it was by no means the opponent of the Sardinian knife; However, even if the spear loses its cold head, its lethality will not be greatly affected; For a relatively soft human body, whether it is a sharp tip of a spear or a severed wooden pole, it is enough to stab a fatal wound.
Who said that if you don't have a gun, you can't stab someone?
And these pikemen of the brave battalion not only cooperate with each other skillfully, but also have a very good psychological quality; In the face of the extremely sharp satinia knife in the enemy's hand, the spearmen of the Yongzi battalion standing in the front row of the team, even though they knew in their hearts that they were unable to escape death, they still maintained a uniform rhythm of progress, and there was no trace of panic in the pace under their feet, as if they were not even their own body, numbly holding the wooden stick that had lost the tip of the gun, and without hesitation, they only relied on their own flesh and blood to hit the enemy's blade!
Even if the Satinia knife is sharp enough, after penetrating deep into the enemy's body, if you want to draw the knife and slash again, you will inevitably have to leave a gap; Almost at the same time that the tip of the cannibal's knife pierced into the opponent's body, no less than three spears flew his body back high and landed in front of the rear spearmen who had not had time to enter the narrow street......
And the big food warrior who was picked out of the flight, what will be the final fate, there is no need to ask; And seeing their comrades and siblings pierced by the enemy's sharp scimitars, or severing their necks, and blood splattering their heads and faces, these pikemen, who were so numb to the point of fear, that they had no sorrow, were as if they had not seen them, and there was neither fear nor sorrow......
It's like the legendary walking dead, a humanoid puppet; These pikemen don't seem to have the feelings that humans should have! I don't know what kind of method Chen Ziling used to train such a group of devils!
