Chapter 874: Gap (3)

"Shang Shui Jun...... Sortie! โ€

"Oh-oh!"

In the face of the torrent of war of the Qin army, in the array of the Wei army, thousands of Shangshui soldiers stood up without hesitation and charged towards the Qin army, which was several times their own. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Ben! Flee! โ€

Thousands of Shang Shui troops rushed Ran Teng and his own team to the front, and they spread their legs and galloped up in the remaining distance.

Twenty Steps......

Ten Steps......

Five-step ......

The Qin army's black-faced pawn is close at hand!

"Shield!"

With the roar of the thousand-person general Ran Teng, the Shangshui soldiers who rushed to the front used the shields in their hands to protect them, and with the help of the momentum of the gallop, they crashed headlong into the ranks of those black-faced soldiers.

Pity those black-faced soldiers who had almost no armor on their bodies, they were actually knocked back by the soldiers of the Shang Shui Army, and they were unstable on their feet.

Even, some poor black-faced pawns were hit head-on by the iron shield of the Shangshui soldiers, and they were hit on the spot and vomited blood.

It is undeniable that the men in the land of Xizhui are generally tall, but they can't stand the heavily armed and black-faced soldiers of the Shangshui soldiers of the Wei State, who are not even lightly armored, how can they beat the Shangshui soldiers who are carrying hundreds of catties of armor and weights? It was as if a flock of sheep met a herd of rhinoceros, and it was immediately swept to pieces.

"Kill!"

And taking advantage of the opportunity of the black-faced soldier standing unsteadily, the Shangshui soldier took advantage of the victory to pursue, and slashed at the enemy with the sharp sword in his hand.

The black-faced soldiers wanted to fight back, but the weapons in their hands could not touch the bodies of the Shangshui soldiers, and those Shangshui soldiers who had undergone strict training and had rich combat experience flexibly used the shields in their hands to slap the blades swung by the black-faced soldiers again and again, or even shoot them away.

In the understanding of the non-commissioned officers of the merchant navy, the shield is not just a protective gear for defense, it can be used for offense.

Just like those Shangshui soldiers did now, when they saw several black-faced soldiers swinging their blades at them, they clenched the arms of their shields, slapped them fiercely, and used their strong and heavy shields to hit the enemy, so that those black-faced soldiers cracked one by one, and they couldn't hold the blades in their hands.

Even some black-faced soldiers were directly slapped on the body by the iron shield of the Shangshui soldiers, spitting blood on the spot.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ Opportunity!

A black-faced soldier spotted the gap in the shield of a merchant soldier and slashed at the helmeted head with his sword.

However, all the Shangshui soldier did was turn his head sideways, as if he wanted to resist the blow with his shoulder.

With a "dang long", the sharp sword of the black-faced soldier slashed on the shoulder armor of the merchant soldier, rubbing out a few traces of sparks.

And from beginning to end, the merchant soldier didn't even blink an eye.

"Poofโ€”"

Hearing the strange sound of a blade penetrating through the body, the sword in the hand of the merchant soldier easily pierced the black-faced soldier who did not have any protective gear at all.

What's going on with these guys?!

Gradually, more and more of the black-faced pawns noticed that something was wrong.

Because the soldiers of the merchant water in front of them, even if they were sharp, their eyes did not blink.

Is it the confidence to wear tough armor?

A Qin general noticed this and was secretly suspicious in his heart.

You know, blinking is a person's sense of self-protection, even if ordinary people wear indestructible armor, but when the blade cuts towards them, they will still subconsciously close their eyes, even if they actually know that the armor on their bodies is enough to resist the sharp blade.

But the soldiers of the Shang Shui Army did not.

To put it simply, the soldiers of this army have mastered the instinct of self-preservation, which only a battle-hardened veteran can hon.

This army ...... This army ......

The Qin general looked at the army that was more ferocious than the black-faced pawn with a moving face, and was about to shout something, when in the next moment, several crossbow arrows shot from nowhere had already hit his body.

It is inevitable that the Shang Army's combat method is more fierce than that of the Qin State's black-faced army.

Because the weapon of the black-faced pawn could not break through the double protection of the shield and armor of the Shangshui soldier, but the long knife in the latter's hand could easily tear and penetrate the body of the black-faced pawn.

"Shang Shui-!"

Thousands of people shouted loudly while waving their knives.

"Drink!"

With just a brief but powerful response, the offensive of the nearby merchant and sailor soldiers became even more courageous.

They seemed to be tireless, sometimes slapping the enemy with the shield in their left hand, sometimes swinging at the enemy with the long knife in their right hand, stepping forward step by step.

Their persecution aroused the ferocity of the black-faced pawns.

Wu Ji, the general of the Shang Shui Army, immediately caught the signs that the black-faced pawn was preparing to counterattack, and shouted: "Shang Shui Army! Spread out to the left and right! โ€

In about a dozen breaths, the Shang Shui soldiers quickly dispersed to the left and right, but just as the black soldiers on the opposite side were about to take the opportunity to break through from the center, they were greeted by the overwhelming salvo of the Wei army's crossbows.

With just a volley, the black-faced pawns who had just gathered to prepare for a counterattack had turned into corpses in the ground, and the ferocity that had finally been aroused was also destroyed by the crossbows of the Wei army.

At this time, the soldiers of the merchant and navy, who had just spread out to the two wings, were once again connected in a line and continued to compress the space on the battlefield.

Wu Ji, the general of the Shang Water Army......

Lintaojun Wei Ji looked at Wu Ji in the distance in amazement, and admired again and again in his heart.

He could see clearly that in Fangcai, Wu Ji used the repeater crossbow to skillfully interrupt the counterattack of the black-faced pawn and discount the momentum of the Qin army.

"General Wu Ji seems to be very good at how to interrupt the momentum of the enemy army with the help of a repeater." Lintaojun Wei Ji said to Zhao Hongrun.

Zhao Hongrun smiled faintly when he heard this, and said: "The crossbow is a war weapon equipped with the Shang Water Army, and it has been run in with the Shang Water Army many times, if he can't even make full use of it, how can he be worthy of being the general of the Shang Water Army?" โ€

Lintaojun Wei Ji nodded, and then as if he saw something, he subconsciously frowned, but after a moment, his frowning brows stretched again.

It turned out that he noticed that Wu Ji in the distance was being targeted by several black-faced pawns, but unbelievably, Wu Ji killed those black-faced pawns in the blink of an eye.

"But then again, as the general of the Shang Shui Army, General Wu Ji's martial arts are also very remarkable. โ€ฆโ€ฆ This way of fighting is a bit like Jiang Contempt. Lintaojun Wei Ji said with a strange expression.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun smiled bitterly, in fact, this is what he is very dissatisfied with Wu Ji: as the general of the Shang Water Army, Wu Ji always likes to go into battle in person.

In Wu Ji's words, the feeling of being on the battlefield and watching the battle from standing in the main formation is different. Being on the battlefield allows him to better command his soldiers and seize the ever-changing opportunities on the battlefield in time.

In contrast, Qu Cheng, the general of the Yan Ling Army, is not as bloody as Wu Ji, and he always protects himself well.

But this is also good, there is Wu Ji in the front formation, and there is Qu Cheng in the back formation, and these two generals are each responsible for the command of different regions, so that the whole situation is firmly grasped by the Wei army.

Coupled with the assistance of deputy generals Yan Mo, Zhai Huang and others, it is undeniable that the Wei army's war rhythm has been very well grasped so far.

On the contrary, the Qin army at this time was more uncomfortable.

They launched several surprise attacks, but almost every time, the offensive was planned by the Wei army, either an unrivaled salvo of crossbows, or a rain of arrows from the Wei army's crossbowmen. After waiting for it to stop, the Shang Shui Army and Yan Ling Sergeants, who had taken a breath, continued to persecute in an orderly manner.

This feeling is really uncomfortable, as if Qin Jun was being led by the nose by Wei Jun.

But having said that, in fact, the situation of the Shang Shui Army and the Yan Ling Army on the battlefield is actually very dangerous.

Because the difference in numbers between the two sides is too great.

"Shang Shui-!"

Thousands of people shouted loudly, hoping to use slogans to arouse the fighting spirit of his subordinates.

But compared with the previous time, the shouts of the Shang Shui soldiers who echoed this time seemed a little weak.

It's no wonder, after all, the soldiers of the Shang Shui Army are also people, carrying hundreds of pounds of armor and weight, fighting with the fierce black-faced soldiers for a whole quarter of an hour, and they are already tired and panting.

Even Ran Teng, the thousand-strong general, faintly felt that his arms began to become heavy.

Suddenly, he drew his knife.

Looking up, he was horrified to see a black-faced pawn on the other side who had been impaled through his body, spitting blood from his mouth and grabbing the blade with a sinister smile. Nearby, another black-faced pawn swung his sword at his arm.

Not good!

Ran Teng was shocked, and decisively let go of the hilt of the war knife, and then subconsciously held the short sword hidden near the handle on the back of the shield, and after swinging the shield fiercely and slapping away a black-faced pawn who rushed towards him, he stabbed the black-faced pawn in front of him with the short sword in his hand.

"Ran Teng Thousand Generals!"

The merchant guards of this team noticed Ran Teng's side and immediately gathered to help.

Looking at the panting appearance of these soldiers of this team, Ran Teng felt very anxious in his heart, because he knew that the physical strength of their merchant army was almost at the limit.

Fortunately, at this time, Wu Ji, the general of the Shangshui Army, who personally went into battle and commanded on the front line of the battlefield, also noticed that the offensive of his subordinates was gradually becoming weaker, and without saying a word, he issued an order to rotate, so that the Yanling Army and the Shangshui Army exchanged positions before and after.

Moreover, when the Shang Shui army retreated and the black-faced pawn took the opportunity to rush forward, he once again used the crossbow to interrupt the offensive of the Qin army, and forced the momentum of the Qin army to hold back again.

"It's our turn! โ€ฆโ€ฆ Yan Ling Army, attack! โ€

"Wow!"

With the shout of Yan Mo, the deputy general of the Yanling army, the Yanling army quickly took over the position of the Shang Shui army and continued to further compress the space of the Qin army.

Facing the Yan Ling army, which was not inferior to the Shang Shui Army in terms of bravery and equipment, the black-faced soldiers of the Qin army once again felt powerless.

They finally understood that the blood in their chests could not really help them defeat the enemy forces on the opposite side, and the real key was to have strong armor and sharp weapons.

At this point, there is a huge gap between their black-faced soldiers and the Wei army on the opposite side.

At the same time, in the Wei army's main formation, Zhao Hongrun looked at the battlefield, touched his chin and thought for a moment, and then asked Zong Wei beside him: "Those ironclad cars...... Ready to get started? โ€

Zong Wei Chang Wei Jiao nodded: "It's already on standby in the rear." โ€

"Let them strike!"

"Yes!" (To be continued.) )
