Chapter 36: Shield Battalion

"Ermazi, you bastard, are you crazy, talking nonsense here! The deceased is the greatest, go back and bury your brother well! Ma Qianhu shouted at the city tower. He was very angry, this Ermazi opened his mouth to threaten, completely ignoring the morality of the rivers and lakes, saying that if he betrayed them, he would betray them, it was simply hateful, a soldier and a bandit, although they had colluded, but they couldn't give people an ugly look in public!

Seeing that the two of them had no intention of opening the city gate, Er Mazi was angry and shouted at the city gate: "Hmph, you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust, do you take my benefits less?" You let me plague the military households every year, so that they have no food harvest, you and Master Hu took the opportunity to lend, and forced those military households who can't afford to repay the money to take acres of land to pay off their debts, how many acres of land have you swallowed, don't you have a damn amount in your heart, I have more than a dozen brothers who were forced by you to be desperate before they came up to join me, am I wrong, brothers? ”

"That's right, that's right!" The bandits in the back followed suit.

Everyone knows these things, and no one can say it enough, the military households of the guard are a group of lambs, they occupy a part of the land, but they are guilty of it, and all forces are biting them like wolves.

"You horse bandit who doesn't know whether you live or die, don't talk nonsense here, slander us, release arrows, quickly release arrows for me, shoot this killer with a thousand knives!" Yang Yan was angry and ordered the soldiers to release the arrows, but this order was issued by him, so no one released the arrows, and he also noticed it, so he looked around, those soldiers looked at themselves with hatred in their eyes, it was their own soldiers, and they felt that there was a resentment floating on their bodies, he looked at Qin Yiming again, his face was cold, he didn't know what he was thinking, he only felt a chill in his body, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

"My lord, don't believe in the nonsense of thieves!" Ma Qianhu said in a pleading voice beside him.

"Hahaha, look at you officials, you are all things that eat people and don't spit out bones, and you dare not admit it, it's really not as good as pigs and dogs! If you have the guts, open the city gate, let Lao Tzu in, and kill you on your back, and the blood will flow like a river. Er Mazi made fun of himself in the city and laughed at him.

"Ermazi, you are rampant, believe it or not, I will come down and cut you now!" Yang was excited and angry.

"Haha, gallant mouse, come on, I'm waiting for you!" Er Mazi sneered, and the thieves around him laughed.

Yang Yanshi may be angry and really want to go down, but looking at the rough men with knives in the city, they stayed there stupidly and motionless, which attracted another wave of overwhelming ridicule from the city.

"Open the gates!" Qin Yiming ordered.

"No, sir!" Ma Qianhu was in a hurry.

"Open, just rely on these thieves, are you afraid?" Qin Yiming shouted.

"Don't be afraid, not afraid, not afraid!" The officers and soldiers at the head of the city responded loudly, startling Er Mazi and others under the city.

"Da Niu, you lead the shield battalion out of the city to lead the battle, but you can only defend, not chase the enemy, Yang Baihu, you lead the bow battalion to take care of the city tower, ready to support at any time!" Qin Yiming commanded.

Soon, the gates of the city were opened, and fifty soldiers with huge black iron shields in their left hands and spears in their right hands, and iron helmets on their heads, went out of the gates and stood near the gates to meet them.

"Hahaha, that's it? Look down on our brothers too much, brothers, kill them for me! With a wave of the Er Mazi sword, more than a hundred foot soldiers behind him rushed out.

"Prepare for battle!" The bull roared.

All the shield soldiers immediately formed a half-lunge in two columns, their bodies hidden in their shields, revealing only their heads in iron helmets and their sharp spears.

Looking at the thieves who were getting closer and closer, the big bull roared: "Three, two, one, hit me!" ”

When the thief approached the shield soldier in the first row, the bull hit me, and the soldier in the front row immediately put his arm on the shield, and the whole person turned sideways, and followed the shield to hit it, those bandits with swords, as soon as they approached, they raised the weapon in their hands high, and when they were about to cut, they were knocked to the ground by huge force, and the pain was so painful that they called their mother, like a high-speed moving egg hitting a stone, dizzy for a while, and the internal organs were churning, and they had not yet reacted. Immediately afterwards, he was pierced into the body by the cold and sharp spear of the shield soldier, and he died of exhaustion, and some thieves slashed down with a knife, but it was a solid cut to the iron shield, either the weapon was not held firmly and was ejected away, or the shock was numb, and then inadvertently, he was stabbed to death by the spear that came out from under the shield.

"Bump again!" The bull shouted, and at the same time he also slammed it out, knocking a weak thief in front of the shield directly into vomiting blood, and then shot out with a spear. After a few rounds like this, there was no casualty in the shield battalion of the guard, dozens of people had died on the bandits' side, the bandits were afraid, they couldn't cut people and couldn't cut people, and they couldn't win the collision, and the shield was too big, when they were close to the shield, they would not know where the sharp spear came out, they were scared, they were beaten and couldn't fight back, they fled.

Of course, Er Mazi also saw the situation of this battle, which was a one-sided massacre.

"Shoot the arrows!" These men are very good at close quarters, so he shoots them with his bow and arrows.

More than a hundred arrows rained through the air and flew over, and the soldiers quickly squatted down, hiding under the shield, only hearing the sound of bells, which was the beautiful music of arrows and shields colliding.

After a few rounds of arrow raindown, none of the guards were killed or wounded, and they didn't even touch anyone, all of them were blocked by the huge black iron shield, and no matter how many arrows there were, they couldn't hurt it.

The situation that happened under the city, the people on the city saw it, and everyone was very shocked, even a veteran like Yang Baihu was extremely shocked in his heart.

This shield soldier is so powerful, when the young master insisted on forming such a team, he didn't quite agree with it in his heart, this is completely inconsistent with the arms of the Ming army, I thought that the young master was playing whimsically, anyway, there were fifty people, so let him play, I didn't expect this combat power to be so amazing, a huge iron shield, basically can protect all the weapons of the attack, as long as the person holding the shield is strong enough, the protective effect of the shield on people can be said to be very huge, and the frontal attack is basically unbreakable, It's just that this shield must have a corresponding weight to have such a protective ability, so Qin Yiming selected people with great strength to form a shield battalion, but unfortunately, this kind of shield soldiers cannot be formed on a large scale, otherwise how powerful it should be for passive combat!

Active combat is obviously not the strength of the shield soldier, first of all, the shield is too heavy, and secondly, the shield soldier cannot fight on horseback, it is inconvenient to move, and it cannot move quickly.

Yang Baihu looked at the battle and summarized the advantages and disadvantages of this shield soldier.

"Shoot an arrow at Lao Tzu again, and Lao Tzu won't believe it!" Er Mazi was not convinced, it was the first time he had seen such a powerful shield, and he had also seen the shield of Daming, in fact, it was not a shield, it was a rattan card.

There are rattan cards in Qi Jiguang's mandarin duck array, rattan cards are light in weight, and ordinary people can use them, but this kind of rattan cards have limited protection against arrows, not to mention being able to block the shots of birds, so Qin Yiming gave up the rattan cards.

A few more rounds of arrow rain poured down, and slowly the arrow rain became smaller, and after the last few arrow rains were shot, Er Mazi yelled: "Keep shooting for Lao Tzu, why don't you shoot?!" ”

"Great boss, we're done shooting our arrows!" A thief shouted.

"What, so many arrows have been shot, and none of the fucking ones have hit anyone, you rice buckets!" Originally, Er Mazi had a feeling of not being able to use his strength, but now this feeling is even stronger, and he is even more angry.
