Chapter 293: Undercurrent (19)
A black causeway in front of the Qin Wangjun army met Wan Yan Shengcong's eyes, Wan Yan Shengcong sneered, those eyes seemed to be able to spray anger that melted everything. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
This embankment is the human embankment composed of He Tengxiao's Xiao Cavalry Battalion and Tengbao Battalion, a flesh and blood embankment.
The enemy was very red when he saw him, and Wanyan Haiya couldn't wait to tear the black causeway in front of him to pieces.
"Shoot the arrows!"
The distance between the two armies was getting closer and closer, and the army of Zhao Guoqin at the front, that is, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Teng Leopard Battalion in black military robes, entered the range of the Liao archers. The flag in Yan Shengcong's hand slashed down fiercely.
This was an order for the archers to shoot, and the Liao army still adopted the very old-fashioned tactics of the Liao army. There is no wisdom and technical content in this set of tactics, and to put it bluntly, it is a hard fight.
After the archers carried out long-range strikes against these charging Qinwang troops, the two sides fought hard to determine the final winner, and this tactic was also the oldest and most primitive tactic of the Manshu people.
Under the order of Wanyan Shengcong, the arrows of the Liao archers shot like locusts at the attacking phalanx of Zhao Junqin's army.
Between heaven and earth, only the rain of arrows is flying. It is very appropriate to use the rain of arrows to describe this burst of arrows, and countless arrows are flying all over the sky, what is a more suitable adjective to describe it besides rain?
The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and the rain of arrows will naturally be a shield block.
Just when the Liao army's arrows were fired, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Tengbao Battalion, which were walking in front, raised their shields to welcome the rain of arrows of the Liao Army.
The Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Teng Leopard Battalion took the lead, and Shan Futian was more or less reluctant to go. After all, Shan Futian's Jinling City Qinwang Army is the main force of the whole army. Shan Futian is also the supreme commander of this Qinwang army. There is no reason why the task of taking the lead should fall on the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Teng Leopard Battalion.
In the feeling of guilt, and out of being able to allow the Qinwang army to successfully break through the encirclement of the Liao army and enter the Jingshi City, Shan Futian took out all the shields of the Qinwang army in Jinling City and let the soldiers of the Xiao cavalry battalion and Tengbao choose to use them.
The soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Tengbao Battalion fought in the first formation, and in the eyes of the other Qinwang troops, they were sent to death, and their nature was no different from the cannon fodder of the death squad. The generals of the Qinwang Army also couldn't understand the relationship between He Tengxiao and Shan Futian, and He Tengxiao took the initiative to rush to death. It's really incredible.
Jinling City is a rich and prosperous place, as the southern capital of the empire, Jinling City, like Jingshi City, has its own weapons supervisor, military war. The quality of the weapons produced was even better than that of the Ordnance Supervision Bureau in Jingshi City.
The Qinwang Army of Jinling City is basically equipped with weapons manufactured by the Ordnance Supervision and the Military Bureau, and the quality of the weapons is not bad. Moreover, He Tengxiao's Xiao Cavalry Battalion and Teng Leopard Battalion were more sophisticated shields selected from these shields that were already well-made. The quality of the shield in the hand will certainly not be bad.
These shields were more than enough to meet the rain of arrows of the Liao army. Soon, these shields were covered with a dense mass of arrows, like hedgehogs.
The arrows of the Liao army hit the shield powerfully, and the shield hand under the shield of the shock had numb palms and painful arms. The hand hiding under the shield gritted his teeth and resisted the splash of arrows from the Liao army.
Song Yuren and the forbidden army of Jingshi City in the city were stunned. Song Yuren, who was in the deep palace, was not the kind of people who caused famine, and asked his subordinates absurdly: Why don't the people eat minced meat if they don't have porridge to drink. of the ridiculous king. But Song Yuren, who was in the deep palace, rarely had the opportunity to walk out of the palace on weekdays, and basically had no chance to walk out of the Jingshi City.
This is the first time Song Yuren has witnessed the war with his own eyes. The grandeur and brutality of war. In the past, Song Yuren's more understanding of the war came from a Tang newspaper with a word count, and Song Yuren's most intuitive understanding of the war came from those numbers.
Second, what is now unfolding in front of his eyes is no longer a boring and abstract number, but a living, bloody war.
Looking at the Qinwang army that fell from time to time with arrows, these Qinwang troops did not stop advancing because of the fall of the robe in front of them, but chose to continue to brave the rain of arrows of the Liao army to take difficult steps forward.
At this time, the Qinwang army was only passively beaten, and the number of archers in the Qinwang army who launched a counterattack against the Liao army was very small. Even if there were some bold archers, they fired arrows at the Liao army in an attempt to inflict damage on the Liao army, but the archers of the Zhao army were far from being the opponents of the archers of the Liao army, and furthermore, the archers of the Liao army were not only more elite than the archers of the Zhao army, but also had an advantage in numbers.
These archers of the Zhao army, who launched a counterattack, were fortunately suppressed by the Liao army, hiding behind their shields to avoid the arrows of the Liao army. The lucky one was injured by the arrow, and the unlucky one was killed by the archers of the Liao army.
Qin Wang's army has been passively beaten on the way forward, basically has no chance to fight back, and has suffered huge casualties. Song Yuren's eyes moistened when he looked at the city wall: this is the real strong army that defends a country. Thinking of the forbidden army in Jingshi City, Song Yuren couldn't help but feel a sadness in his heart. I'm afraid that the combat power shown by the entire forbidden army of Jingshi City is not as good as the 70,000 Qinwang army under the city, right?
The forbidden army of Jingshi City is in the comfortable Jingshi City, and they have not been exposed to war since they were born, after all, it is the capital of the empire, and the opportunity for the enemy to hit the capital of the Great Zhao Empire is very rare, although the forbidden army of Jingshi City is a soldier, or the so-called "elite soldiers" rumored by the outside world. However, none of the 200,000 "elite soldiers" advocated by the Great Zhao Dynasty had actual combat experience without exception. This was also the first time that these forbidden soldiers had witnessed the war with their own eyes.
Watching one after another Qinwang soldiers fall, Song Yuren couldn't help but sigh in distress. Especially the army at the front, wearing black military uniforms, leading the way. left an extremely deep impression on Song Yuren. Among all the Qinwang army, only the Qinwang army in black military robes showed the most courage, charging at the front, opening up a way forward for the Qinwang army behind.
Song Yuren noticed that the Qin Wang army in black in front of him was the mainstay of the Qin Wang army.
"Peng Qing, where are these town soldiers in black military robes? Good life and bravery! Song Yuren asked Peng Chaodong on the side, he wanted to know which part of the town army was this army that performed so bravely.
"Your Majesty." Peng Chaodong was fully armored, and his body moved slightly, and the scales and armor pieces on his body rubbed against a piercing metal grinding sound.
Because it was very inconvenient to move with his full armor on his body, Peng Chaodong could not perform a full salute to Song Yuren, so he bowed down and replied with his fists: "Your Majesty, the black-robed soldiers at the front are not my Da Zhao's town army. (To be continued.) )
