Chapter 617: Defending the Great Array
The general of Southern Xinjiang also stared at the big array in front of him, and after looking at it for a while, he suddenly shouted a few words, and the soldiers of Southern Xinjiang around him began to charge and rushed towards the big array.
The shield-wielding soldiers were shocked to see it, and they realized that these southern Xinjiang soldiers did not intend to enter through the entrance of the large array, but intended to knock the large array directly from the front to open a way.
The distance was still far away just now, and the Southern Expeditionary Army in the front row didn't have a deep understanding, but when these burly Southern Xinjiang soldiers rushed to the front, they saw that every soldier on the other side was at least a head taller than them, and they suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Although they were afraid, after all, they were from the Tianji Battalion, and these shield-wielding soldiers did not lose their proportions because of this, they quickly adjusted their breathing, steadied their horses, and resisted the big shield with their shoulders.
As the outermost barrier of the large array, the duty of these shield-bearers is to maintain a good formation while protecting the other companions in the array.
These soldiers in southern Xinjiang really had amazing strength, and one by one they seemed to be dying, and wave after wave of madness hit the big shield.
Fortunately, behind these shield-wielding soldiers, there were other companions to help, and everyone worked together to withstand the shield, and finally withstood the opponent's onslaught.
After seeing that his soldiers had failed to attack many times, the general of Southern Xinjiang roared again, and at the same time showed a hint of anger.
He suddenly began to speed up, and rushed forward with the mace in his hand.
When the soldiers of the Southern Expedition saw this scene, they were all shocked.
The general of southern Xinjiang was already amazingly tall, and he didn't even care about his own lives when he charged, and the mace he wielded in his hand swept several soldiers in southern Xinjiang, all of whom were killed instantly, vomiting blood and dying.
Most of the soldiers of the Tianji Battalion are veterans, who have been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and have seen a lot of famous generals, but they have never seen such a general with natural power and tyrannical temperament, so they can't help but be a little flustered.
At this moment, the general of Southern Xinjiang had already rushed to the front of the battle, and at the same time raised the mace in his hand high, and smashed it on the big shield with the momentum of the forward rush.
After a loud bang, a Southern Expeditionary sergeant behind the big shield suddenly spat blood from his mouth and was shocked to death, and even several shield-wielding soldiers around him were also affected, and the corners of his mouth were oozing blood.
Fortunately, there were companions who stepped forward in time to support and took over the big shield in their hands, which maintained the formation of the big array.
It's just that all this was quietly carried out in the formation of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and the Southern Xinjiang general, who was blocked by the big shield, didn't know about it, and only said that his blow didn't work.
He looked puzzled, but he still didn't seem to give up, stared at the row of large shields in front of him, waited for a while, and saw no movement, and then gave up.
He shouted a few words to the soldiers around him, and those soldiers of Southern Xinjiang immediately gave up the idea of rushing in head-on, and instead rushed towards the entrance of the large array.
The soldiers of the Southern Expedition who saw all this through the gap between the big shields all breathed a sigh of relief, eager to wake up those injured and unconscious companions immediately, so that they could also see with their own eyes what happened to those barbarians in Southern Xinjiang after they rashly broke into the big array.
After entering from the entrance of the large array, there were still two rows of shield-wielding soldiers on both sides, and the entire large array was like a labyrinth, there was only one way from the outside, but it was intricate to enter the array.
The southern barbarian soldiers who were the first to rush into the formation saw countless forks in the road, and they were dumbfounded, standing in place, not knowing which way to go.
A gap suddenly opened between the shield-wielding soldiers on both sides, and countless halberds poked out of it, stabbing at the legs of these southern Xinjiang soldiers.
Although the people of southern Xinjiang are vigorous, after all, there are many people, the roads are narrow, and there are still people pouring in behind them, under the pushing, it is inevitable that the foothold is unstable, and several soldiers in southern Xinjiang were stabbed in the legs and fell to the ground on the spot.
Just before the Southern Xinjiang Army could make any reaction, a gap flashed between the big shields, and this time, it was several lassoes, which were put around the ankles of those fallen Southern Xinjiang soldiers, dragging them back into the formation.
The fate of these soldiers in southern Xinjiang can be imagined, and they were chopped into pulp in an instant by a group of gang disciples who were ambushed behind the big shield.
This kind of thing of fighting more and fighting less, but these gang disciples are the best at it, and they quickly cleaned up all the southern Xinjiang soldiers who were dragged into the battle, and there were a few ruthless gang disciples, and they also cut off a few heads and threw them out from above the big shield.
The head rolled to the ground, and the soldiers of Southern Xinjiang looked at it fixedly, and suddenly let out a roar of rage, and crashed towards the big shield like crazy.
It's just that they couldn't crash into it just now, and it's even more helpless here, the road in the formation is narrow, and there is no space to even run, where can they use their strength?
After several unsuccessful attempts, these soldiers in southern Xinjiang were already red-eyed, and they couldn't care so much, they went wherever they saw a road, and soon scattered into the formation.
Their impulsive behavior, in the arms of the southern expeditionary army, after losing each other's support, was immediately killed by the Jianghu people who were ambushed in various places in the formation, and after only a stick of incense, the first batch of southern Xinjiang soldiers who rushed into the formation all died inside.
The general of Southern Xinjiang, who was standing outside the formation, heard the screams coming from the array, and also knew the power of this array, so he did not rush to launch a second round of attacks immediately, but led people around the array.
After turning around a few times, they found that there was no other way to go, so they had to return to the entrance of the large array.
The general of Southern Xinjiang poked the mace in his hand to the ground, groped in his arms for a while, and found a vial made of jade.
When the other southern Xinjiang soldiers saw it, they also took out a small bottle of similar size from their arms, poured out a pill from it, and held it in the palm of their hands.
The general of Southern Xinjiang glanced back and suddenly shouted in jerky Central Plains dialect, "God bless my queen!" God bless me in the south of Xinjiang! ”
"God bless my Queen! God bless me in the south of Xinjiang! ”
All the Southern Xinjiang soldiers chanted along with it, and then put the pill in their hands into their mouths.
The general of Southern Xinjiang showed a look of satisfaction, and as soon as his two fingers were forced, he pinched and smashed the small medicine bottle made of jade, and then swallowed the pill inside.
Liu He, who was standing on the high ground, began to become nervous after seeing this scene.
The unusually tall Southern Xinjiang general had already attracted his attention, and now he made such a strange move, coupled with the slogan he had just led his subordinates to shout, he didn't use the Southern Xinjiang native language he spoke before, but spoke the Central Plains dialect.
Although his original dialect is not fluent, and his tone sounds awkward, it is clear that he has also practiced a lot.
