Chapter 64: The Battlefield
[Ask for recommendations, ask for evaluations......]
The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, one second the sky is clear, the next second it is cloudy.
The sudden change not only stunned the attacking Mayan soldiers, but also put the Elder Command in the rear, which was also within the attack range of King Toltec's guards, in jeopardy. Lacking experience in large-scale operations and an effective command system, the Mayan soldiers were in a state of confusion while the elders were stunned, some continuing to attack, some running back to help their elders, and others staying where they were.
Seeing this, Qi Zhonghao hurriedly shouted at the chaotic soldiers in a few of the shortest dialects he had learned in a short time: "Follow ...... Follow...... Blocking ......"
Thanks to their eye-catching performance on the battlefield, shooting a large number of Toltecs from a distance left a strong mark on the Mayans. The peoples who are not civilized enough have an invisible yearning for power, and they are usually used to listening to the words of the most powerful leaders of the tribe. At this moment of confusion, hearing Qi Zhonghao's shout, many people joined his team and continued to maintain the blockade of the city gate, in case the defenders of Kirigua City and their reinforcements were caught on both sides, that was the last thing Qi Zhonghao wanted to see, at that time, even if he and others defeated the Toltecs, the Mayans would no longer have the courage to continue to fight with their feud, which was not in line with the plan of the Americas formulated by their brothers.
Sure enough, as Qi Zhonghao expected, the guard general of Kirigua, was not a fool, and there was an agreement before, as soon as he saw his prince showing up, he did not hesitate to order, let his lieutenant lead the capable soldiers who had been waiting for a long time to go out of the city to attack the Mayans, and solve those Mayans who could not be killed once and for all.
Crunch...... Crunch......
The gates of the city of Kirigua, slowly opened, and the defenders of Kirigua, who had been preparing for a long time, rushed out of the city gate screaming with their own messy weapons and equipment......
"The shield soldiers stepped forward and formed two lines of defense!" Qi Zhonghao clenched his fists and gestured a few times in front of him, and only after the three hundred shield soldiers stood in two rows fifty meters away from the city gate did he continue to order: "The crossbowmen are divided into three rows, each row has two squadrons, stand in order, ...... quickly"
Qi Zhonghao led people to hurriedly complete the formation arrangement, and the Mayan natives also surrounded the entire city gate in style. At this time, many of the Toltecs, who had been prepared, had already rushed out of the city gates and fought with the Mayans.
"First row, Toltecs in front of the target, rapid fire! Second row ready! Qi Zhonghao quickly ordered in the face of the swarming Toltecs.
Whoosh ...... Each platoon of 200 crossbow soldiers quickly pulled the levers, and the arrows led to the oncoming Toltecs with a continuous stream of wind.
At a distance of fifty meters, with the frequency of the crossbows, the Toltecs had no way to dodge, only to rush with a force, but this had no obvious effect, except for the consumption of arrows, the pace of the attack remained at the city gates.
Half a minute later, the arrows fired from the first row began to decrease, and some of them had already fired all twenty arrows relatively quickly.
When the guards at the city gate saw this, they couldn't help but smile and shouted loudly to the soldiers under the city gate: "Rush! Their magic is gone, so rush up and kill them! Kill them all, and we'll win! ”
Sure enough, after hearing this, the Toltecs who had been driven back to the city gate rushed out again, one by one, with their mouths wide open, glaring angrily at Qi Zhonghao and the others, completely ignoring Maya on both sides, and coming straight towards them. The Mayans were not stupid, knowing that this group of Song people who broke cattle was their best hope, and each leader led his clansmen to stop the Toltecs desperately, but with little success.
Qi Zhonghao smiled contemptuously at this, and shouted with a relaxed expression: "The first row retreats to the last to load arrows, the second row steps forward to shoot, and the third row prepares!" ”
The Toltecs' second charge ended there, leaving behind a field of corpses that covered the gates of the city, with no more welcome results. Seeing this, the garrison of the city of Kirigua opened his mouth in shock, not because he was saddened by the loss of his men, but because he was amazed at the power of the thing in the hands of the enemy, and according to their actions, it would be difficult for him to rush out of the city gate today.
But he can't watch his prince fight outside, and if he waits, he will fall into a heavy siege, if His Royal Highness the prince has any losses, let alone be promoted and rich, it is estimated that the guys who eat on their heads will have to move.
After a short weighing, the commander of the guard of Kiriga commanded several young generals under his opponent: "You guys take people down with ropes, don't care about those people at the gate of the city, directly join the reinforcements, and capture those old guys of Maya alive!" ”
"Yes, General!"
A moment later, countless ropes were suddenly thrown down the city walls, and countless Toltecs swayed down the ropes like ants, while the Mayans surrounded the city gate without reacting for a moment.
"I'll go, these Toltecs aren't stupid!" Qi Zhonghao muttered in a low voice, and then shouted loudly to the surrounding Mayans: "Give us the city gate, you go and kill those Toltecs who come down from the rope!" ”
Soon, the Mayans and the Toltecs fought along the walls, and the battle entered a brief stalemate.
Although the garrison of Kirigua, he wanted to open the stalemate as soon as possible, but he had no better way for a while, mainly because his own troops were blocked in the city and he couldn't use his hands. The city of Kirigua, which is between two mountains, and the city wall is also built on the mountain, and there are only two gates in the east and west directions in total, even if you detour to the east gate, it is too late. Therefore, he can only choose to fight to the death with the Mayans below.
There are two flowers, one on each branch.
Let's say that at the beginning of the Toltec prince with the guards, several elders of the Mayans were indeed in a panic, but with the help of Liang Shi, it didn't take long to calm down and quickly command the nearby clansmen to come to the rescue.
Subsequently, Liang Shi also returned to the place of the bed crossbow squadron and stuffed Yang Sien behind the crowd.
"Everyone obeys my orders!" Liang Shi shouted loudly at the stunned soldiers: "Immediately turn the bed crossbow and prepare for melee combat after one launch!" ”
"Yes......"
Five of them carried their bed crossbows and quickly turned in the direction of the Toltec sneak attack.
"Aim...... Launch! Liang Shi gave an order, and two thousand arrows rose into the air again, like a dark cloud hanging over the Toltecs.
Prince Toltec paid close attention to these strange creatures in the intelligence, and ordered his men to disperse whenever something happened. However, he still underestimated the number and speed of the crossbow arrows, and a single blow caused a quarter of their men to fall, and some of them got up and continued to charge without being hurt. He was also taken aback by the power of Song Guo's bed crossbow, if he hadn't done a good job of preparation, and if he wanted to get together like before, he didn't know how many would survive!
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and saw that the mysterious people had no intention of using those strange things, so he continued to move forward with the rest of the people.
Liang Shi and the others were originally standing in the safest rear, but now they have become the front-line position, a mile away, according to the speed of these Toltecs running, it only takes two or three minutes to run over. He decisively ordered the abandonment of the use of bed crossbows, and let all soldiers pick up individual weapons, still maintaining the style of shield soldiers in front and crossbowmen in the back, and waited for battle.
Although the equipment and tactical level of these Toltecs are not good, their individual physical fitness is absolutely a bargain, and the 500-meter run is a piece of cake for them. So much so that when they were running fast and were less than a hundred meters away from Liang Shi and the others, the soldiers of the Song State set up the formation and filled it.
Liang Shi didn't have time to pay attention, and hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up...... Crossbowmen shoot quickly! The shield guards are steady...... Hold on! ”
The soldiers scrambled to pull the levers and poured arrows at the enemy as best they could, and in a few strokes they were all shooting the fastest team to the ground.
"Hurry up, don't be stunned, speed up the arrow!" Liang Shi was nervously directing the battle, and coldly saw Yang Sien coming out of the crowd, and immediately rushed over to catch him: "It's very dangerous now, you hide back, what do you want, the Holy One can't spare us......"
Yang Sien hurriedly pulled Liang Shi: "Wait...... Captain, I have something to tell you, I see that there are a lot of people on the other side, and we are not fully prepared, so we may be damaged in close combat. I saw some soldiers bring a grenade, so why not give them a little color! ”
"This ......" Liang Shi hesitated: "Okay! As you say, let's give them a taste of grenades! Brothers, those who have grenades have them ready, and when they enter the grenade, they greet a wave of grenades. ”
"Gotta ...... Got it! The soldiers had been hungry for this grenade for a long time, and they were finally able to fight it, and they were so excited that they even forgot about the crisis they were facing for the time being, and took out their grenades and fire folds with great interest.
When Prince Toltec saw that his vanguard was knocked to the ground, he couldn't help but quicken his pace, urging his men to speed up their advance and engage the enemy as soon as possible, in a vain attempt to take the opponent in one fell swoop by relying on their numerical superiority.
It's closer...... It's close, it's good, those mysterious people don't have any moths, and they don't shoot arrows, it seems that the gods are helping themselves!
Yes? That's not right! They're just so people, why aren't they afraid? Could it be that I am hallucinating, how can I see that those people seem to be laughing?
Prince Toltec's mind was still tangled, but his steps were not tangled in the slightest, and he firmly led his whole body towards the hundred or so mysterious people.
Seeing that he was about to rush in front of the other party, he suddenly saw them throw out some gadgets, Prince Toltec couldn't help but feel a tightening heart, and pounced to the side.
Boom Boom Boom ...... A series of deafening thunderous sounds were remembered on the battlefield, muffling out all the screams and fights.
After the explosion, the surviving prince shook his dazed head, got up from the shredded dirt, and looked behind him in confusion, except for the soldiers who were running behind, all of them were blood-red......
Although this guy is in a big formation, the actual killing effect is not as terrifying as it sounds, and the grenades of fifty shield soldiers killed and injured may be three or four hundred people. However, the effect it causes is far beyond the killing effect, and the fear of the unknown has never been divided into races, and the more ignorant the people, the more serious.
The whole battle was long to say, but in reality it was only a matter of minutes, and the Toltec surprise guards fell nearly half of them in such a short time. The remaining 1,000 or so people were also frightened by these endless unknown things, and only a few dozen cronies rushed forward to snatch back their prince, but they no longer had the courage to continue the attack. They hurriedly picked up the unconscious prince and fled along the same route, breaking through the line of the returning Mayans and fleeing into the deep mountains and dense forests.
At this time, the battle under the city walls was also in full swing, and in order to meet his own prince, the garrison of Kiriga did not hesitate to sacrifice and tried all kinds of ways to get out of the city. By the end, half of the army had been lost, and only a few small units had rushed into the battlefield. But in the face of the failure of his prince's surprise attack, those people must have gone and never returned.
After a long time, the garrison general of Kiriga reluctantly ordered his junior generals: "Collect the troops and close the city gates!" ”
He thought that after almost a day of fighting, the Mayans didn't have much energy to continue the attack, as long as they closed the gates, they would survive today, and as for tomorrow...... Let's talk about it tonight!
The order was given in good time, and before everyone could react, the gate was closed, and the Toltecs who remained outside, the guard could only say sorry to them.
"Phew!" Qi Zhonghao spat on Xingzi, and said dissatisfiedly: "I have wasted so much time uncle, I want to pat my ass and leave, there is no door!" Dare to play sneak attack with the master, and let you taste the power of the master! ”
When he saw the door closed, he walked towards his house satisfied, and he didn't know how long his head could be carried on his shoulders, so it was the right way to go back and enjoy "life" first!
Rumble! There was a sudden explosion at the city gate, and the gate was smashed to pieces......
And then...... Nothing more, and the Mayans, who were holding back a wave of resentment and anger, did a good job of giving the remnants of the Toltecs a lesson in physiological anatomy. The head of the Guardian of Kiriga was also made into a specimen by the Mayans, who originally wanted to give this gift to Liang Shi, but he refused their kindness.
Two months later, two more large ships appeared in the Pacific Ocean, sailing happily in the wind.
"Second brother, isn't it a little unkind for us to run halfway like this?" Qi Zhonghao and Liang Shi stood side by side at the bow of the boat.
Liang Shi smiled and said, "Hehe! Once you get your things, you have to go home! Besides, isn't it enough for us to help them lay down half of the country! Do you still want to dominate the Americas? (To be continued.) )
