Chapter 98: Abuse to inferiority
The next day, around ten o'clock in the morning, Lu Bujun had already begun to leave the camp and came to the front to call for battle. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The number of people is a bit miserable, just about 2,000 people, including 1,000 foot soldiers and 1,000 big yellow crossbow troops. There was also a difference on the foot soldiers' side, among which about 500 were elite, and the other 500 were shield-bearers with shields.
The shield hand is different from the sword and shield soldier, the sword and shield soldier is mainly to defend against counterattacks, but the shield hand is holding a large shield, which is mainly made of wood and iron, but it also weighs more than 70 pounds, and the biggest role is to resist arrows and crossbow arrows.
As for the soldier's weapon, if it was before, I am afraid that there is no at all, at most the shield to smash others. However, through the binoculars, it can be seen that they have a short sword at their waist, which is obviously their last means of self-defense.
The shield player moves at a ridiculously slow speed and is only used against each other. Use this thing to chase when pursuing, unless the general is brainless or has drunk too much.
"Want to use a shield against a crossbow? It's kind of interesting, but it's too bad for this number, right? Looking through the telescope to check the situation of the opponent's position, Li Wen said disdainfully.
"The extension under the shield should be inserted into the ground to increase the defensive effect. It's not just about defending against arrows, it's also about cavalry raids!
In particular, it should be noted that the troops behind are only a few hundred people, but the momentum is very good. It is really not easy to train such a unit without scientific training and just according to traditional training methods! If Zhicai didn't guess wrong, it should be an elite unit of Lu Bujun's army!
Look at them, with a hook and sickle in their hands, but at the same time with a Pak knife behind their backs. Together with the shieldman, they can restrain the cavalry very well, and in a way, he is very similar to the concept of the hook and sickle under the general's command! Xi Zhicai pointed to the opposite unit and analyzed to Li Wen.
"In the end, it's just a kind of learning, it feels very similar, but it's not a level in the end, and it depends on how I abuse it!" Li Wen didn't think so, whether it was equipment or weapons, his side had an absolute advantage. The gap in the physical fitness of the soldiers may not be too big, but in terms of military literacy, their own side can definitely blow up the other party!
"Liu Xing, look at your performance!" Li Wen shouted behind him.
"Whoa!" Under Li Wen, Liu Xing, who served as a partial general, gave up his hands to lead the order, and it was rare to be able to be alone. Immediately performance, naturally not to be missed!
"Chen Tao, send a force over to support!" Levine gave the order again.
"Whoa!" Chen Tao gladly accepted the order and went down to deploy.
"Dian Wei, you personally lead a hundred people, and smash that nasty shield to me!" Li Wen finally ordered Dian Wei.
"Whoa!" Dian Wei was also happy, he had no room to show for so long, he had already suffocated!
There is no need for a large-scale battle at all, Liu Xing is also carrying 500 hook and sickle troops, and Chen Tao is also carrying 1,000 strong crossbow troops. Dian Wei followed with a hundred men, and the sappers also pushed several shield carts out.
There is no difference between a shield cart and a cart, the biggest difference is that a wooden or iron-clad shield is placed at the front. The soldiers pushed behind, knowing the situation ahead through the lookouts. The shield cart is difficult to use ground power, but it is easier to move, more flexible in change, and the key is to have a wider defensive area.
As the large army began to reach the front line, the distance between the two armies was only about a mile.
Gao Shun had been paying attention to the other party's march, and he couldn't help but be a little shocked when he looked at it. Just because the opponent's actions are too neat, a phalanx is like a whole, and there is no unevenness in moving at all.
On the other hand, many of the soldiers were fine when they didn't move, but when they moved, the queue began to become crooked. After all, the soldiers have no culture, and sometimes they can't even tell the difference between left and right. In order to train them to this level, he also spent a lot of time, and even like this, he couldn't move forward so neatly.
Looking at the whole from the subtleties, not to mention the neat formation, just the momentum and killing intent exuded by the soldiers, Gao Shun understood that Li Yu's ability to achieve such an achievement today was not accidental, and it was definitely not opportunistic.
Not to mention anything else, as long as the troops under his command are to what extent, then it will naturally not be a problem to expand the territory!
However, as a martial artist, especially a general, Gao Shun does not intend to admit defeat. The key to this attack is mainly to test the opponent's reality and reality. Lu Bu has a clear explanation, and he must know exactly the combat effectiveness of the other party, so that he can judge whether it is necessary to resist the other party. And even according to the results, they said that they could not withdraw their troops directly!
"Crossbowmen, get ready to shoot!" Gao Shun gave an order, and the rhubarb crossbowmen quickly stepped forward, but in fact, this reaction speed was even slower than he expected.
Gain's army was actually under Wen Chou's command, but Lu Bu temporarily borrowed it to suppress the opponent's strong crossbow. Since it is not a sequence, even if Gao Shun gives an order, it needs to be ordered again by the lieutenant under Wen Chou, so that the transmission and implementation of this order can be completed, which is very slow.
The other party is obviously not a famous general, and only after weighing the pros and cons of the situation did he start to arrange his troops, which made Gao Shun very disappointed.
No, when the enemy saw the strong crossbowmen and began to deal with them, the strong crossbow troops in the headquarters were also the first to come out, and even many strong crossbow troops who came to the front had already begun to shoot at their side.
The projectile of the strong crossbow can increase the shooting distance by about two percent again, and the power has decreased, but the problem is that the opponent is a repeating crossbow, so under the continuous shooting, it is like a rain of crossbow arrows in the sky, which feels very scary.
"Retreat, retreat!" The general was directly frightened, and he didn't ask for an attack, and directly gave the order to retreat.
"Bad seeds!" Gao Shun looked at the captain from the family with disgust, the captain was from Yuan Valve, he was a son of the side line, and he joined the army mainly to mix his resume. But now it seems that this kind of goods is the worst thing!
The generals all asked to retreat, so the soldiers below naturally did not dare to stay, so they left one after another. In this process, many crossbowmen were also shot directly, and even many people directly threw the rhubarb crossbow on the ground and ran, without discipline at all.
"If the republic is all like this, then it is not far from the death of the country!" Gao Shun couldn't help complaining, but as the commander-in-chief, he couldn't retreat like this, he could only give an order to the army of his headquarters, "Advance slowly!" ”
Whether it is a trap camp or a shield bearer, they are all his direct troops. As long as he doesn't retreat, then the soldiers below will fight to the death. With Gao Shun's order, they didn't care about the retreating strong crossbowmen, they just advanced slowly, even if the crossbow arrows falling from the sky were dangerous, they didn't care about it completely.
Fortunately, the trapping camp itself is heavy infantry, and Gao Shun adopts the tactics of contraction, which makes the troop layout very compact. With the protection of the Iron Armor and the Shieldman, the power of those projectile crossbows does not cause them damage.
But in the same way, if you want to cause damage to the other party without cover, it is also impossible!
On the side of the Huaxia Republic, the military marquis who was responsible for directing the shooting saw this, and also gave up the projectile and signaled the soldiers to shoot flat!
The distance between the two sides is currently less than 200 meters, and according to the results of previous training, they can still shoot five arrows in a row before retreating. However, at this distance, it would be an absolute nightmare for the other side.
After all, although this repeater uses the repeater setting in the Wubei Zhi, it also refers to the design principle of the rhubarb crossbow. The two are fused with pulley sets and other traps, making them not only extremely powerful, but also improved in continuous fire.
In the case of flat fire, within a radius of 100 meters, ordinary iron armor can easily penetrate it. So as the shooting order was given, a large number of crossbow bolts poured out, and this time they were not blocked by the shield, but directly penetrated the shield!
However, the iron-clad shield was indeed strong, and the distance between the two sides was still too far, so that the arrow only stuck in the shield hand and could not penetrate smoothly. However, Gao Shun knew that it would not work like this, so he could only ask the soldiers to speed up the march.
The disadvantage of the shieldman's transfer speed is reflected, they can't run fast at all with these more than seventy pounds! So after a while, the shield was finally pierced directly through the chest of the soldier behind him.
If you're lucky, you'll be barely blocked by the iron armor, but if you're unlucky, you'll be shot directly! As the first shieldman fell to the ground, the second and third also fell to death. Their death also led directly to the fall of the shield, and at this moment on the front, the trapping camp was completely exposed to the enemy's attack.
Fortunately, relying on these fallen shieldmen, they had advanced to within fifty meters. At this time, no matter how advantageous the situation is, the crossbowmen must be withdrawn immediately, otherwise it will affect the actions of the soldiers behind.
"Fight!" Gao Shun held a spear in his hand and killed directly towards the enemy's shield vehicle. The soldiers, under the influence of the generals, also shouted and killed the enemy position.
But he didn't want to, Liu Xing personally came out with five hundred hook sickle pikemen, but the first thing he did was not to fight, but to divide into three strands for continuous shooting. A large number of hidden arrows poured in, and within a range of more than twenty meters, thin iron armor could easily shoot through.
So there were casualties in the trapped camp, and before they hurt the other party, they were shot and killed by aggrieved!
More than a hundred soldiers armed with sledgehammers suddenly appeared on both sides, led by a big man armed with a double halberd. At the same time, the hook and sickle soldiers in front also put away their hidden arrows and began to form a formation to kill them.
After the previous shooting, the formation of the trapped camp has begun to be chaotic, at least not as complete as before. Even Gao Shun barely blocked a few Hidden Arrows, but his legs were still inserted into each Hidden Arrow.
"Surrender or die!" Liu Xing took the lead in the front of the battle, and looked at Gao Shun, who was still breathing, and signaled.
"If you have a kind, try it!" Gao Shun directly pulled out the sleeve arrows in his legs, and regardless of the blood, he killed him directly.
"What a guts!" Liu Xing smiled and gave the order to attack.
"Haha, that's kind of interesting!" Dian Wei also led the army to kill at this moment, and the sledgehammer soldiers under his command wielded the sledgehammer in their hands, and every time they smashed, they directly shocked the other party into internal injuries, and if they were unlucky, they were directly shocked to death! Iron armor can indeed prevent slashing and shooting, but it is restrained from the brutal smashing of the hammermen!
The trapping camp has given up the hook and sickle and used the Pu knife to meet the battle, but the sad discovery that the Pu knife has no way to break the defense unless it cuts the opponent's armor. Fighting hard to slash down, on the opponent's armor, only a white mark can be cut.
The opponent's hook and sickle spear is extremely sharp, and when it is chopped down, it can actually cut off their simple knife with the head of the spear, which is really as sharp as clay! At this moment, everyone understood that their army was completely abused, and the two sides were not at the same level at all! (To be continued.) )
