Chapter 181: Counterattack (3)
The arrows flew past the head, some pierced directly into the chain mail, and the sharp arrows pierced the small holes of the steel rings and poked into the flesh, leaving a small blood spot to fall to the ground.
Bailiyan led his troops to the base of the wall, just as the Xian army was defeated and retreated:
"Sikong Nan, let the brothers build a wall to stack Arhats!"
"Good!"
Bai Liyan (Wei Xian) usually trains very strictly, and equipment fighting is the most basic subject, such as team skills such as human wall Arhat, which is also a skill that must be mastered by his soldiers.
However, when encountering low walls and trenches, team skills are especially crucial, so that the key is not to become a living target for the enemy. Now the low wall of Ruitian Village is more than one zhang to block thousands of troops, and the human wall Arhat is at the right time.
The Black Turban Army should not have been prepared for a counterattack before, at least they were thinking of attacking the Yongxing River, so except for the crossbowmen, there was no preparation for rolling wood and stones, let alone other defensive equipment for defending the city.
At this time, a white feather arrow was shot, stabbing Baili Yan's chest, blocked by chain mail, and the feather arrow fell to the ground, and the black turban archer who released the arrow was taken aback, stunned and thought it was an illusion.
Baili Yan quickly picked up a spear on the ground, threw it with his left hand, and stabbed it into his chest impartially along the gap between the wall stacks, and then fell down and planted it on the ground.
The feathered arrows of a normal bow are useless against chain mail made of steel rings, and at most they will leave a blood spot through the ring hole. Only a heavy crossbow has a 40% chance of piercing steel chain mail, and if it is a heavy chain mail, even a heavy crossbow will be difficult to pierce.
If this arrow just now was other armor, it would have pierced the chest, even if it was the scale armor of the heavy infantry, a strong bow and an arrow could pierce it, and at most the depth of the piercing into the body was a little shallower.
Sikong Nan organized the human wall at this time Arhat is climbing up, the Black Turban Army seems to have never seen such tactics, at first they were a little confused, and when they reacted, Sikong Nan had climbed the head of the earthen fortress with another person.
At this time, the Black Turban Army suddenly came to their senses, organized the archers to drop arrows, and at the same time kept slashing the blades in their hands, trying to drive Sikong Nan and the others off the human wall.
How can Bai Liyan and others wear chain mail, holding wooden shields, the rain of arrows shoots from top to bottom, and the arrows are shot at a large depression angle, and the shots are all in the upper body, which is firmly blocked from the body by the chain mail, leaving at most a painless blood hole, which makes people's hearts flutter.
What's even worse is that Sikong Nan attacked the earthen fortress, and the two spears in the middle of his chest were unscathed, but they were cut down by Sikong Nan with a knife, and the heads of the two bronze spears were flattened together, which surprised the black turban soldiers.
Baili Yan stepped on the human wall and the Arhat followed closely behind, jumped to the earthen fortress and slashed it with a knife, directly cutting off half of the human head that rushed to the front, and the white brain mixed with blood suddenly overflowed the head, and a disgusting bloody aura immediately rushed to the face.
In a short time, more than 40 people in the 200-person team had jumped onto the earthen ramparts to fight, and the power of the chain mail was vividly displayed at this time. No matter how the bronze and iron blades were slashed, the steel chain mail was invulnerable, and it was killed by the Baili Yan pioneer.
"Sikong Nan, go down the slope quickly and transfer the remaining eight hundred people to the general, go quickly."
"General, what are you going to do!"
"Repair me, you go quickly."
"No!"
At this time, He Meng rode a war horse and stood two hundred steps outside the battle in Ruitian Senan, and heard that someone had already attacked the city in Saidong, and He Meng urged the horse to rush to Saidong.
Seeing that this situation was very convenient, He Meng mobilized a thousand men and horses to expand the gap.
Jiang Gan's infantry army arrived at Ruitian a tea time late, only Hu Mo's cavalry was one step faster, he saw that He Meng's troops could not attack Ruitian Village, he did not dare to move lightly, and hurriedly asked Jiang Qian for instructions:
"Young master, Ruitian's terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, He Meng attacked Xisai and Nansai two city fortresses without success, and the last general suggested organizing a shield wall, storming the walled gate, and attacking the fortress from the walled gate."
"Wei Xian, why don't you see Wei Xian."
"Wei Xianchong's Taiqian entered the formation before the last general."
"Doesn't he still have five hundred foot soldiers under his command, how can the foot soldiers run in front of the cavalry."
Baili Yan has 1,000 men and horses, half riding and half on foot, and Hu Mo has 3,000 cavalry under his command.
"Young master, Wei Xian is not allowed to kill the first rank of his soldiers, and he chased He Meng's cavalry straight to Ruitian, and the five hundred foot soldiers under his command ran faster than rabbits, and the four miles were like entering a no-man's land, so it must be much faster."
"Hmph, he's eager to get merit. Hu Mo, with his son attacking the city, he can't let the armies underestimate the Guangxin Army. ”
"No!"
Jiang Qian transferred 1,000 shields, 2,000 pikemen, and 500 shuttle markers to attack the mountain.
The shuttle is a javelin, which is not very common nowadays, one of which is the limited killing range, and the archer has completely replaced the role of the shuttle. The second is that the accuracy is too poor, an accurate and experienced shuttle standard player needs seven or eight years of training to achieve 100 shots, while the archer is short for a year and a half, and at most two years can shoot eight or nine without leaving ten.
Guangxin military shuttle standard hand is mostly fishing fishermen, the shuttle standard used is not a spear-blade shuttle standard, but a prismatic needle-like shuttle standard about a foot long, as long as the puncture, it is successively transparent and will die.
At this time, it was raining heavily, and the bowstring was weak and weak after the draft, and the damage was limited, and the power of the pike was undoubtedly highlighted.
Jiang Qian's heavy armor under the protection of the firm and stubborn as the first soldier, behind the shuttle hand on the body of a bundle of fifteen shuttle leather bags, when approaching twenty or thirty steps, the shuttle hand throws a gun to kill the enemy, a hundred shots and a hundred hits, a stab and a quasi.
Bailiyan was storming a tunpu at this time, and he couldn't attack it for a long time, so Sikong Nan led people to arrive, and together they occupied the tunpu and took this commanding height.
There are more than 30 similar tunpu in Ruitian Village, each of which controls a commanding height, and takes the commanding height, and there will be no threat of bows and crossbows within 100 steps centered on the area. Not long after occupying Tunbao, a rebel army tried to counterattack, but was repelled by Bailiyan.
At this time, the Black Turban Army was self-restrained, and it was raining instead of using witchcraft to borrow snow from the sky, which dampened their own morale.
The agitation of cult superstition comes from the explosive perceptual impact of the unknown, and for the ignorant and ignorant people nowadays, the demagogy produced by the sensory shock of visual and sound effects is far more than lip service.
However, this time, the Black Turban Army went a little too far, exposing the essential weakness of cult superstition.
The essence of a cult is superstition and heresy, which is nothing more than creating magic with the help of technology unknown to people at the time, and the greater the expectation for magic, the greater the disappointment. The use of half-understood advanced black technology is used to deceive people, but where do you know that these technologies are not advanced technologies that are mastered by current technology at all, and there are uncontrollable risks.
Even in modern society thousands of years later, it is not easy to artificially produce rain and snow by physical and chemical means, let alone nowadays.
The east gate of Ruitian Zhai is the main attack of the Xian army, thirty percent of the troops in the village are concentrated here, Baili Yan made people burn the Tunbao with fire to seal the entrance, in case it is used by the black turban army.
Then the falling man came from behind, and when he was in front of him, he was dumbfounded.
The black turban army that held the east gate took off its cotton clothes, and everyone was blocked in the door in the armor of the Xian army.
Most of the equipment of the Black Turban Army came from Xianguo and Sun State, and after the loss of Muyang Cang, the Black Turban Army was supplied with sufficient weapons and armor. On weekdays, in order to distinguish between friend and foe, the black turban army wears black scarves on their heads to see the difference.
Now that the Black Turban Army has taken off their headscarves and cotton clothes, they have put on the armor of the Xian Army and are in the chaos of the army, and they can stab themselves in the back.
"General Wei, the thieves ripped off their headscarves and wore our armor uniforms, what should I do if I killed the wrong person!"
"Fuck, they're all from Xianguo. Go, tell the brothers, only recognize shoes and not people, wear the wrong shoes, and deserve their bad luck. ”
Sikong Nan looked down at the ground when he heard the news, and immediately frowned.
"The general is wise!"
I have time to change my clothes, but I have time to change my shoes.
There were only three kinds of footwear for the soldiers of the Xian army, one was cavalry riding boots, the second was light infantry cloth shoes, and the third was heavy infantry shoes.
Although Muyang Cang was occupied by the Black Turban Army, it was not a cornucopia of everything, except that there were no shoes, and shoes were usually hoarded in Qilong Cang, just because Qilong Cang was the closest to the ink pool, the largest shoe-making center in Xianguo.
The source of the black turban army's uniforms is complicated, there are everything, Sun Guo's, Zhiguo's, Changsun Guo's, ordinary people's, there are also standard shoes of the Xian army, and even straw sandals, the source is the mutinous Xian army and warehouses in various places.
The mutinous Xian army was bound to be dismantled into various units of the Black Turban Army in order to dilute the influence of the independent legion and facilitate the control of the Black Turban Army, so the shoes on their feet were varied. Even though he put on the armor and battle clothes of the Xian army, he didn't have time to change his shoes.
On the other hand, in the Bailiyan Pioneer Battalion, the Xian army with a thousand people is all the same, and more importantly, Bailiyan requires all the soldiers under his command to tie their legs to improve the efficiency of the attack. At this moment, as long as you look at your legs, you can clearly know whether you are friend or foe.
The east gate blocked the black turban army of 2,000 people, and was stabbed from behind by Bailiyan, and was suddenly a little caught off guard, this black turban army only thought it was its own people, and did not know that the Xian army had entered the village.
"Damn, blind your dog's eyes, don't you know it's your own people!"
A black-turban sergeant with a Chunan County accent scolded, and the next moment he was backhanded with a sword:
"Lao Tzu is the one who kills you!"
Poof, a sword stabbed into the opponent's chest, and the black turban soldier's body shook, and the next cut fell to the ground with blood flowing like a stream.
The vanguard battalion is like a tiger, two hundred chain mail is unstoppable, no matter how the black turban sabers, guns, swords and halberds slash and stab, they are stunned and unable to break through the chain mail defense line, only thinking that they have encountered the evil art of the immortal cover body invulnerability, Bai Liyan and others rushed to kill, and they were stunned to break through the gap, killing the black turban soldiers and ghosts crying wolves.
Attacking to the bottom of the walled gate, rows of archers on the earthen rampart were in full swing, and the noose that opened the log gate was above, Baili Yan shouted anxiously:
"Sikong Nan, quickly take four hundred people to kill the strong archers immediately, open the gate and let the Xian army enter the village, go quickly!"
"No!"
Jiang Qian led the army to attack the gate of the village at this time, and the axe split the fire and burned the wooden mallet to collide with everything, but the thick log gate fell into the ground after the solid abnormal, and the power of the two tigers was wasted to split a huge wood, how could there be a wooden fence in the door.
