Chapter 352: Ruthless (Happy Holidays, Ladies!) )
Compared to Lin Sen and his subordinates, who were in a somewhat comfortable state, Feng An's unlucky nephew was not optimistic.
His side is also less than a thousand subordinates, not to mention being pressed and beaten by those wingmen, it is not much worse, anyway, he has now been mixed up with those subordinates.
The reason why they didn't collapse was mainly because they didn't have a place to run, and there were almost all the wingmen around, and there was also the supervision team sent by Feng Ang behind them, all of whom were really the masters who would attack them unceremoniously, rather than die in the hands of their own people, the family would be implicated, it was better to fight with the wingmen to the end, at least the family could get some compensation.
"Interesting boy. Pass my order, the left flank is eroded, let the Chinese army cover the left side and shoot, without worrying about their own people! ”
Feng Ang also saw Lin Sen's glance, smiled and sighed, and in a blink of an eye, it was a ruthless order.
For Feng An's ruthlessness, these hardcore soldiers under him have long been accustomed to it, and they are also used to carrying out his orders without discount, so no one even asked, "Do you really want to shoot those own people together?" and other questions, he directly aimed his bow and crossbow at the left wing according to his order, and kept covering the rain of arrows to block the movements of those wingmen.
On Lin Sen's side, the wingmen's offensive did not stop directly because of the large casualties, but for the time being, they no longer directly charged their formation, but chose to stop behind the big tree and shoot arrows there.
Compared with the well-made bows and crossbows in Lin Sen's hands, the bows and arrows in the hands of these wingmen are much simpler, many of them are simply simple bamboo bows, bamboo arrows, and the range is naturally not far.
Even if they were lucky enough to run to Lin Sen's side, or pinpoint some unlucky Tang soldier, they often couldn't break through the armor on their bodies.
On the other hand, these wingmen, not to mention the lack of clothing, have nothing to do with things like armor, there is a leather armor on the body, or they are covered in animal skins, which can be regarded as well-protected.
Of course, there are also many people holding wooden shields, or simply wooden planks in their hands, and there is still some effect when they charge just now, but they can't stand Lin Sen's bows and crossbows on their side are too dense, and a negligence can't cover the whole body, so they can only pay the price of their lives.
And now hiding behind a big tree and shooting arrows, this wooden shield will definitely not work, just dodge out from behind the big tree.
But there are always those who are unlucky, and when they dodge out to shoot arrows, they were nailed to the ground by Lin Sen's arrows.
The results of such a sacrifice in exchange for them were very desperate, that is, a few wingmen who used the poisoned arrows hoarded during hunting could cause some harm to Lin Sen's men, but it seemed that at most it was amputation, and it was very rare for someone to lose his life because of this.
Of course, there are also unlucky people who die under the enemy's ordinary bows and arrows, most of them are from the fragile parts of the neck or eyes, after all, ordinary soldiers only have helmets and no visors.
The possibility of being hit in the face is much smaller than that of the torso, and it is completely possible to rely on the shield to make up for this deficiency, compared to the little protection brought by the face armor, or a better vision is more important to the general, as long as the attack is flexibly dodged, so the face armor is not implemented in the Tang Army.
Of course, it may have a lot to do with the fact that this seemingly inconspicuous thing has to add a lot of cost and technical difficulty.
And Lin Sen and his subordinates are much more calm, unless they can really shoot accurately to the eyes, and they have to stop it, otherwise let alone a simple bow and arrow like this, even if it is a standard bow and crossbow in the Tang Army, it can't break through the wooden armor on their bodies, and even with the face armor they habitually put down in wartime, the protective power is a desperate existence.
Under the elimination of each other's strengths, the battle situation on Lin Sen's side was obviously moving in the direction of their favor, and the Tang generals in the front row had even hung the empty Zhuge Repeater crossbow back on the war horse, raised their shields and armor-piercing cones, and prepared to start a counterattack against the enemy's sparse arrows.
The armor-piercing cone is much easier to use than an arrow at close range, and it does not prevent you from using a shield to protect yourself, and the ability to kill is also stronger, which is more suitable for the current battle.
The Tang army in the back continued to provide long-range fire support with bows and crossbows, and those wingmen who were pressed did not dare to take the lead, most of the time they could only hide behind the big trees, desperately watching their clansmen continue to decrease, how could they still have the crazy energy when they rushed down the mountain before.
Lin Sen even had time to keep an eye on the other flank behind him. After seeing Feng An's ruthless style, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and quietly ordered his guards who served as wartime captains to pay attention to the movements of the Chinese army and prevent them from aiming their arrows at their side.
Those subordinates who originally belonged to Feng An's unlucky nephew have basically been killed and wounded now, with the close fight of the wingmen in front of them, and the rain of arrows from the Chinese army in the back, they were all on the ground and did not move after a few efforts, but they really didn't expect that they obviously did not retreat, but they were still sacrificed by the Chinese army.
Those wingmen in the melee obviously didn't expect Feng Ang to be so ruthless, a few rounds of arrows rained down, and the entire left wing was also emptied of a large area, and there was also a considerable distance between the other wingmen and the Chinese army.
The enemy was shocked by such ruthlessness, and he was also a little hesitant about whether to continue to rush forward, and for the time being, like the wingmen on Lin Sen's side, he just hid behind the big tree and shot at Feng An's men without pain.
After all, they were just ordinary civilians, and most of them still made a living from farming, and they had just put down their hoes for a short time, and some of them didn't even have decent weapons, and they couldn't be as organized and disciplined as the real army, and they didn't know anything about tactics and strategy, otherwise they wouldn't have committed so many taboos when attacking.
Their combat power is much worse than Feng An's battle-hardened soldiers, and even worse than Lin Sen's elite soldiers who have fought in the world and will do their best to all kinds of heroes.
The current situation is actually very clear, victory is basically a sure thing, it is nothing more than a matter of time and the size of the results.
There is a complicated terrain, and it is really not easy for these wingmen to drill into it. So on the contrary, if they continue to attack, Lin Sen and their results will be greater.
What Lin Sen is really worried about is whether Feng Ang will choose to fight back against himself at this time and stab himself in the back.
Just when the situation was a little delicate, there were several roars from the depths of the mountain forest, and even the light of the sky-high fire could be seen coming out, and then the frightened shouts of the wingmen were heard.
