Chapter 1361: First Battle Vine Armor Soldier
Seeing the arrows flying towards the barbarian army, but failing to shoot a few barbarians, the soldiers of the Han army were a little more bottomless in their hearts.
After years of fighting, they had never seen an army with stronger armor than theirs.
The armor of the Han army is the cuirass designed by Liu Wei himself.
This kind of armor protects the entire chest, and the back of the heart is also a whole piece of armor, and it is impossible for the enemy to make a cut in the armor unless he has enough strength.
Even if it is so strong, in the face of sharp arrows, the effectiveness of the armor of the Han army is not very strong.
If it was not the barbarians who bear the arrows, but the Han army, the soldiers would know that there would be dozens of people who fell under the arrows.
In this comparison, there is no need to compare the tenacity of the Han army armor and the barbarian armor.
The soldiers of the Han army, whose armor was stronger than their own armor, although they were a little bottomless in their hearts, their steps were not slow at all, and they still shouted and rushed towards the barbarian army that had stopped on the opposite side.
Seeing that the Han army rushed up, the leader of the barbarians who led the barbarian army, raised the sword in his hand, shouted something, and took the lead in rushing towards the Han army.
Riding a war horse, Xu Chu was the first to rush into the barbarian army.
Holding the broadsword in both hands, he slashed the broadsword down as the horse slammed into an oncoming barbarian.
The sharp blade slashed into the shoulder of a barbarian, and Xu Chu only felt that the big knife seemed to delay for a moment before splitting off half of the barbarian's shoulder blade.
Half of his shoulder blade was chopped off, and the brute howled miserably, and fell to the ground, and the hand that had not been cut off covered his bleeding shoulder, and kept rolling and howling.
Xu Chu ignored the barbarian, let go of a hand holding the knife, and continued to rush into the depths of the barbarian queue, while constantly waving the big knife to the sides.
Unlike his previous battles, this time, when he slashed the barbarians, he always felt that the rebound on his arm was much stronger than when he slashed the enemy in the past.
The big knife in his hand danced like a windmill, Xu Chu hit forward a few steps, and was blocked by the barbarians who rushed up, and it was impossible to rush into the depths again.
Xu Chu was the first to rush into the barbarians, and the soldiers of the Han army who followed him also collided with the barbarians at this time.
The shield hit the shield, the armor hit the armor, and the soldiers on both sides were fighting with all their might, trying to hit the guò and knock the other back a little.
The Han army that rushed out of the camp was not much less than this barbarian army in terms of numbers, and the two sides were crowded together, with the people in the back pushing the people in front, and the people in front stabbing and killing each other with their blades.
A soldier of the Han army picked up the sword in his hand and stabbed it into the chest of a barbarian.
The sharp Pu knife directly pierced the heart of the barbarian, but the Han army who stabbed this knife not only did not feel surprised by the killing of a person, but stared at the barbarian who was pierced in the heart by him with a shocked face.
The sword pierced the barbarian's heart, and the sharp tip of the knife did not pierce the barbarian's armor at all.
Staring at the barbarian who was poked by him in the center, the Han army was full of astonishment, and the barbarian had already roared, picked up the war knife in his hand, and slashed down at the head of the Han soldier.
Hurriedly raised the shield to block the knife that slashed at the top of the head, but the Han soldiers still did not give up, grabbed the Pu knife tightly, and stabbed it into the barbarian's lower abdomen.
Just like the previous knife, his simple knife stabbed the barbarian in the lower abdomen, but the barbarian let out another angry roar as if he didn't feel it at all, and slashed at him.
Fighting with the barbarians, the soldiers of the Han army quickly felt that these barbarians in front of them were not simple.
The armor on their bodies was hard, and the Pu knife could not pierce it at all, and they killed about half a pillar of incense, and there were very few barbarians who fell on the battlefield, but the soldiers of the Han army suffered a lot of losses.
Holding the big knife with both hands, he cut off the head of a barbarian from the neck with a single knife, and when the barbarian's head rolled and fell to the ground, Xu Chu on horseback bent down and grabbed the helmet on the top of the barbarian's head, and shouted to the Han soldiers on the battlefield: "Collect the troops!" ”
After shouting this voice, Xu Chu rode his horse out of the barbarians and took the lead in rushing towards the main formation of the Han army.
The soldiers of the Han army who rushed out of the camp with him, seeing that it was impossible to defeat this barbarian army, also fought with the barbarians and retreated backwards.
The barbarians did not pursue, and after repulsing the Han army, they continued to run towards the riverbank.
The soldiers of the Han army, who were watching the battle between the two armies from a distance, saw the barbarians retreat to the river, and took off their clothes and armor and threw them into the river.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the Han army were dumbfounded.
The armor, which was so hard that it was invulnerable, was as light as a piece of wood on the water, and floated on the river, allowing the barbarian soldiers to lie on their stomachs and swim across the river bank with their buoyancy.
Stationed not far from the river bank, seeing the barbarians' unreasonable actions, the soldiers of the Han army swallowed their saliva one by one, and they were a little more worried about the future battle.
The reason why they dared to face the large number of barbarians with few people was because the soldiers of the Han army relied on their superb combat skills and the solid armor on their bodies.
But in the face of the barbarians in front of them, who were not very numerous, the advantages of the soldiers of the Han army became a disadvantage.
Not to mention that the armor is not as hard as the enemy, the armor of the barbarians can even be used as a single raft, floating on the river at will.
Such a strange armor is indeed beyond the imagination of the soldiers of the Han army.
The Han army that led the rush out of the camp turned back, and as soon as Xu Chu entered the barracks, he turned over and jumped off the horse, threw the barbarian helmet in his hand to Zhuge Jun's feet, and said angrily: "General, the last general took a barbarian helmet and came back!" ”
A personal soldier standing behind Zhuge Jun stepped forward, picked up the helmet, and handed it to Zhuge Jun with both hands.
didn't pick up the helmet, looked down at the helmet, and Zhuge Jun's brows frowned tightly.
The helmet in front of him was a swarthy color, and it looked like it was made of vines, but the gaps in it were filled with something.
After staring at the helmet for a moment, Zhuge Jun took the helmet from his own soldier and looked at it carefully.
The helmet is held in his hand, and the texture is very light, much lighter than the helmet of the Han army, but Zhuge Jun can feel that the hardness of this helmet is definitely stronger than that of the Han army.
"Fetch the fire!" Frowning, Zhuge Jun gave an order to the soldiers behind him.
In response, one of the soldiers turned and left, and after a while, he brought a torch.
The torch was lit and handed to Zhuge Jun.
Holding the torch in one hand and the helmet in the other, Zhuge put the helmet on the torch.
The helmet was stained with flames, and it burst into flames with a "whew".
It burned very fast, but in the blink of an eye, it burned into a fireball.
Hurriedly throwing the helmet on the ground, Zhuge Jun said to Xu Chu and Dian Wei on the side: "No wonder the barbarian armor is thick but not heavy, their armor is made of vines and soaked in tung oil, so it is so solid." I'm afraid that the arrow will be impenetrable if it is shot! ”
"The general's expectations are not bad!" Looking at the fireball that Zhuge Jun threw on the ground, Xu Chu said depressedly: "When we were waiting for the charge, I shot arrows at the barbarians, and the arrows fired by the strong crossbow could not penetrate their armor. The two armies fought in one place, and the armor of our soldiers was not as tough as theirs, and they really suffered a lot of losses. ”
Staring at the fireball on the ground that was gradually burning into ashes, Zhuge Jun said to Xu Chu and Dian Wei: "Annoying the two generals, tell the soldiers that if you encounter soldiers and horses like barbarians again, don't rush forward to fight, just shoot rockets at them from afar!" ”
Seeing that the armor was stained with flames, it burned into a fireball in an instant, Xu Chu and Dian Wei responded, and each conveyed Zhuge Jun's order to the soldiers.
In a battle with the barbarian vine armor soldiers, although the Han army suffered little loss, it was the first time that the number of casualties on the battlefield exceeded that of the barbarians.
When the barbarian rattan armor soldiers withdrew to the opposite side of the riverbank, a team of Han soldiers rushed to the place where the two armies were fighting and collected the corpses for the Han soldiers.
The Han army that died in the battle, a few of them had more than 100 people, but the barbarian rattan armor soldiers, full of battles, only left seventeen or eighteen corpses.
Buried Tong Ze's body, a Han soldier turned his head from time to time to glance at the barbarian array on the opposite side of the riverbank.
"What are you looking at?" No sooner had he buried the body of a Han soldier in the pit than the soldier looked across the bank and slapped a hand on his shoulder, and then a voice drifted into his ears.
Just listening to the voice, he could hear that it was the officer who led them to bury the corpses, and hurriedly turned around, clasped his fists and said to the officer: "I just thought that the barbarians killed so many of my Tongze, and I was not angry in my heart!" ”
"In this battle, these brothers died, but they didn't kill a few barbarians!" Gently patting the soldier on the shoulder, the officer said to him: "The big guy is full of resentment, didn't the general say that if you meet such barbarians again, you only need to shoot rockets at them from a distance!" ”
"Hmm!" Nodding heavily, the soldier did not look across the riverbank, and followed the officer to bury the corpse.
On the other side of the riverbank, seeing the rattan armor soldiers fighting with the Han army, killing hundreds of Han troops, but only losing less than twenty people, Mrs. Zhurong had a bright smile on her face.
Her original appearance was extremely beautiful, and this smile was even more overwhelming, even if a man who didn't like women very much, I am afraid it would be difficult to restrain the inner turmoil, not to mention, the barbarian generals who followed her all coveted her for a long time.
Although he has coveted Mrs. Zhurong for a long time, Meng Shu's status has not been shaken so far, and the barbarian generals can only look at this heavenly fragrance, but they dare not act rashly!
