Chapter 619: Vine Armor

Chen Zhi suddenly felt relaxed, and after more than half a month of crawling and rolling in the jungle, he finally came to the bitterness today.

"Sons! Sanjiang City is in front of you, attack it in one go, and go to Sanjiang City tonight to drink celebration wine! Chen Zhi shouted.

The soldiers of the Jing army cheered for a while, this half-month march is simply a purgatory-like itinerary, and now victory is in sight, how can you not like it? With a brisk pace, the Jing army quickly advanced towards Sanjiang City.

Sanjiang City faces water on three sides, only there is a dry road leading directly to the city in the south, Chen Zhi led the army from the dry road, pointing directly to Sanjiang City. Before he could attack Sanjiang City, he saw a soldier in front of him blocking the way. These armorers are so weird, whether they are Han soldiers and barbarians, they are all dressed in cloth clothes or leather armor or iron armor, and these armorers, there is no cloth and silk material in the body, they are wearing armor woven with rattan, except for the eyes and mouth, the whole body is covered in this rattan armor, and the steel knife and blade are held in their hands, how to look at it is extremely funny.

The soldiers in the first row couldn't help but laugh and leaned back with laughter.

"These barbarians are too funny, even if they can't afford to wear cloth, they can hide their shame by pulling a few pieces of animal skin, and they actually wear rattan on their bodies, they really laugh to death! Hahaha......"

"Do you see that these brutes look like men in cages? It's really a turtle who has never seen the world, thinking that it can block the knife and arrow with a few rattans, it's really funny, hahaha......"

"There are strange things every year, especially this year, the barbarians wearing rattan are really curious!"

“……”

Chen Zhi couldn't help but frown, although he also thought that this group of barbarians in rattan armor were just a rabble, but the soldiers under his command were too relaxed, and it seemed that they had brought the love of visiting the bazaar to the battlefield, and this kind of love was obviously unacceptable, and you could strategically despise your opponent. But tactically, you have to pay attention to the opponent, even if the opponent is extremely insignificant. Chen Zhiyu ordered the sergeants in the front rows to remain quiet, strictly prohibit loud noise, and concentrate on meeting the enemy.

The soldiers in the front row were reprimanded, and naturally no one dared to make a noise anymore. But seeing the funny appearance of those barbarians wearing rattan armor, many soldiers still bit their lips. The relaxed feelings were passed in the ranks of the Jing army, this seemed to be a battle without suspense, Sanjiang City actually only sent these barbarians to meet the battle, could it be that Sanjiang City had no combat power at all.

Chen Zhi was also very relaxed, walking all the way between the dangerous mountains and rivers, Chen Zhi was indeed very tired, and when he encountered such a funny opponent, even Chen Zhi felt that he could relax. Seeing the vine armor barbarians rushing up with a grunt, shouting. Chen Zhi ordered the bow and arrow to be released immediately, and Chen Zhi felt that even the pikemen and sword and shield soldiers did not need to be out, and the battle could be over.

The archers of the Jing army immediately stood in the front row, reinforcing their bows and arrows, and rows of arrows were shooting at the vine armor barbarians. But what surprised the Jing soldiers, including Chen Zhi, then happened: although those feather arrows accurately hit the rattan armor soldiers, as soon as all the arrows hit the vine armor, all of them fell to the ground with a clang, and none of the vine armor soldiers were injured. Their offensive was not hindered in any way, and the bows and arrows of the Jing army seemed to irritate them even more. Wow wow screamed and pounced.

Chen Zhi was puzzled, as if he had a look of disbelief, he drew his bow, put on a feather arrow, pulled the bow like a full moon, and the arrow was like a meteor. Shoot at one of the enemy chieftains who are at the front. Chen Zhi's strength is not low, he uses a three-stone bow that is a little harder than the two-stone longbow that Jingjun is equipped with, this arrow is full of bow, full of strength, and Chen Zhi is confident that he can shoot through two layers of chain armor.

But strange things happened again. The enemy chief didn't dodge, and let Chen Zhi's arrow hit him in the chest, but the feather arrow did not pass through his chest as Chen Zhi thought, but clanged and fell to the ground, and the rattan armor on the enemy chief's chest didn't seem to leave even a trace.

Chen Zhi couldn't help but gasp, the soldiers who were still laughing at the rattan armor barbarians were now honestly shutting their mouths, but their eyes were full of doubt and surprise, oh my God, this is too unbelievable, this rattan armor is too strange, stronger than iron armor.

The distance of a stone's throw away, before the soldiers of the Jing army could figure out why the bow and arrow could not penetrate the rattan armor, the rattan armor soldiers had already rushed to the front. Chen Zhi immediately made a decision, ordered the bow and arrow to retreat immediately, and the pikemen were all on top, he didn't believe in this evil, even if the bow and arrow couldn't be shot, the spear that was ten times stronger than the bow and arrow should be useful.

"Immovable as a mountain! Kill! "The spearmen pointed outward, forming an impenetrable forest of guns, neatly arrayed and imposing. Compared with the strict formation of the Jing army, these rattan armor soldiers were much scattered, and they did not discharge the formation at all, and the Hurala stragglers rushed up bravely, colliding with the spear formation of the Jing army, and a melee battle was inevitable.

What made the Jing army extremely discouraged was that no matter how sharp the tip of the spear was, no matter how much strength the pikemen used, the tip of the spear could not pierce through the rattan armor. However, the steel knife in the hands of the rattan armor soldiers was extremely sharp, and the soldiers of the Jing Army were irresistible, and there were countless casualties for a while.

Chen Zhi has participated in many battles that even he himself can't count, but he has never encountered a nest battle like today, which is completely powerless, and the opposing brute is only wearing a few rattan woven rattan armor, how can he be invulnerable? Seeing his soldiers fall one by one, Chen Zhi's heart was wrenched, but he was helpless, he had no choice but to order a retreat, and if he continued to fight like this, it would only increase casualties.

For Chen Zhi, this was a humiliating battle, with zero enemy casualties, and I am afraid that it is the worst record in the history of Chen Zhi and even the entire Jingjun army, and there is no one.

The battlefield was full of corpses of Jing soldiers, and Chen Zhi faced the vine armor soldiers who were chasing after him, and the sharp weapons could no longer play any role, so he had to abandon some baggage carts and make them into roadblocks to block the offensive of the vine armor soldiers. This trick really worked, and the not too wide road helped Chen Zhi a lot, and the heavy grain trucks stopped the rattan armor soldiers behind the Jing army, which could be regarded as avoiding the end of the entire army.

Seeing that the Han soldiers had fled, the vine armor soldiers no longer pursued, and returned to Sanjiang City along the dry road. A hearty victory made the vine armor soldiers walk on their toes. The dry road is close to the Gannan water, and some rattan armor soldiers are tired of walking, so they simply take off the rattan armor and put it on the water, and the people lie on the rattan armor, but they do not sink, and go down the river leisurely.

Chen Zhi never went far, and when he saw this strange scene, he was dumbfounded, and hurriedly returned to the camp to report to Liu Ze.

┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄

was also dumbfounded, as well as Meng Huo and his entourage who were fighting outside Sanjiang City, and with them, it was King Duosi, the lord of Sanjiang City, who was leisurely and complacent.

Although they were not close to each other, Meng Huo still saw it clearly, and the vine armor soldiers showed great might, killing countless enemies at the cost of zero casualties, and driving the vanguard of the Han army back. Although Meng Shu has long heard of the name of the rattan armor soldier, but hearing is false, seeing is believing, this time looking at the almost demonic rattan armor soldier, Meng Shu saw it with his heart surging, blood boiling, where is this kind of poorly equipped barbarian, it is clearly a heavenly soldier who wins a hundred battles.

"King Meng, how are my vine armor soldiers?" King Duosi smiled, and there was a bit of smugness in his expression.

When Meng Shu and Zhu Rongliang defected to Sanjiang City, King Duosi remembered that one was the son-in-law of a friend and the other was the son of a friend, so he gladly accepted them. Although the barbarians continue to kill each other, but against the Han people, they are the same enemy, not to mention that the king of Duosi heard that Liu Ze is going north this time, not only to take Dianchi, but also to capture his Sanjiang City, as soon as he heard this, the king of Duosi laughed angrily and said: "Since the Han barbarians are coming to die, this king will fulfill them!" ”

Meng Xu's heart moved, and the shock brought to him by the vine armor soldiers could be said to be indescribable, so he asked, "But I don't know how King Duosi trained to become this elite soldier?" (To be continued......)
