Chapter 145: Demon Kratos
PS: I feel that this chapter is a bit inappropriate for children!!
"General, they're in the valley." Mo Hu'er's eyes flashed with excitement, Ah Huiru thought that the Tang army was not fast enough to catch up with him, but he didn't know that Luo Shixin had been controlling a certain pursuit speed, allowing the Xi people to escape without giving them a chance to fight back.
After all, the Xi clan has 40,000 cavalry, and this dog has to jump off the wall in a hurry, let alone a human. If it is pressed too hard, Ah Huiruo will be forced, drop all the supplies, and lead the cavalry to fight back, it will not be fun. Although Luo Shixin was not afraid to confront the 40,000 cavalry head-on. But the cavalry is cavalry after all, except for the 4,000 Mo sword soldiers in Luo Shixin's hands who have experience with cavalry, the other more than 40,000 foot soldiers are still very suspenseful in the Youzhou Plain.
Luo Shixin was sure of victory, but the price paid by the Tang army was not something he could control.
The Xi people have entered the Snake Valley on the surface to occupy a certain geographical advantage, but it is difficult to say how much advantage they can actually take advantage of. Because the greatest advantage of the Xi people is cavalry, although the narrow valley is easy to defend, it also restricts the use of cavalry. Today's Xi people are like tigers standing on a high point but losing their claws, looking fierce, in fact, they don't look terrible.
Luo Shixin smiled back: "What I am waiting for is this moment, the two ends are closed, the door is closed and the dog is beaten." ”
Just as he was about to give the order to attack, Zhang Pinggao rode out and said: "The battle of the general will be handed over to us to join the flag army, the Xi people are good at riding and shooting." The cavalry let the general seal it, and the worrisome archery skills are still there, and we will talk about it when we get closer. ”
Luo Shixin also has this intention, and most of the soldiers who join the flag army are foot soldiers holding big shields. What they are best at is to attack the position and fortify the fortifications, and let them take the lead in destroying the Xi people's broken troops, which is to make the best use of everything. People made the best use of their talents, and said with their heads bowed: "Okay, this first battle will be handed over to the general." ”
Zhang Ping shouted, took a long shield from the hands of the guards, formed a rectangular phalanx, and personally led the soldiers to the valley mouth. Lead by example. This is the symbol of the general who led the army in the early Tang Dynasty, and even the commanders of the three armies like Li Shimin rushed to the forefront and the front line in every battle, and others were even more so.
In this day and age. As a general, if you don't charge at the front, you will be despised.
So when this time he came out of the battle, Zhang Pinggao naturally stood at the forefront, which was already a habit. Because of this, the courage of the Tang army is by no means inferior to that of other tribes.
The phalanx of five thousand long shield soldiers let out a deafening cry under the leadership of Zhang Pinggao. Step by step, it is approaching the Snake Valley.
The drums of war sounded at this time. Igniting the blood that is about to stir in the soldier's body.
As he stepped into the range of the attack, the first wave of arrows poured in.
Tang soldiers are all experienced veterans, years of honing in the battlefield in the skillful skills and battlefield instincts so that they do not have any chaos in the face of such a dense arrow feathers, calmly hold the shield at a forty-five degree angle in the air to form a shield wall, only to listen to the dense sound of "aggressive", this first wave of arrow feathers did not take any Tang soldiers' lives.
"Beautiful!"
Luo Shixin looked at the table of the flag army in the rear and praised loudly.
A second wave of locust-like arrows rained head-on again, this time with more ferocious and dense feathers. The arrow was shot at the raised shield, making a continuous "du" and "du" sound. Although most of the arrows were blocked. But this time there were too many of them, and there were still many stray arrows that inevitably passed through the gaps in the shield and pierced into the flesh under the skin armor of Tang Bing. The falling force of the bow and arrow projectile, combined with the original strength and the unique blood groove arrows of the steppe people, is extremely lethal, making the red liquid of the soldier in the arrow splash like a fountain!
As some of the soldiers in the middle of the array fell, cracks appeared in the well-groomed shield embankment.
The third wave of arrows took advantage of the situation to smash in, and most of the targets were shot towards the cracks, and the attacks penetrated like mercury. In that short moment, tens of thousands of feather arrows seemed to break through the levee and the flood surged, sweeping away hundreds of lives!
Luo Shixin was a little painful, but when the two armies fought, this kind of casualty could never be avoided.
In the face of such a situation, the appearance of the flag army can be called perfect, and the veterans with excellent psychological elements stepped over the corpses of their comrades before the fourth wave of arrows of the Xi tribe came, and did their best to make up for the vacancy and minimize the casualties of the fourth wave.
The Xi clan's continuous shooting seems to be endless, but even if it is a violent storm, there is a time to stop after all.
Hundreds of soldiers fell on the charging line, in exchange for the pause of the Xi offensive, and continued to open their bows and arrows dozens of times, even if they were the steppe people who were accompanied by bows and arrows, their arm strength could not support it.
How could the experienced Tang soldiers miss this small opportunity, and under the leadership of Zhang Pinggao, they launched a short-distance burst and dive, and came to the entrance of the Snake Valley and began to make short-handed contact with the Xi clan guarding the entrance.
This contact is immediate.
The equipment melee ability of the Xi people is far inferior to that of the Tang soldiers, and this white-knuckle battle is not an opponent, and the casualties on both sides are disproportionate. Four or five Xi soldiers often fell, and only one Tang soldier withdrew from the battlefield.
"Kratos, you lead your team to press up and take over the battle." Luo Shixin did his duty as a commander at this moment, standing on a high point and seeing every detail of the battlefield.
The combat effectiveness of the white-knuckle battle of the Banner Army is indeed above that of the Xi people, but they lack the ability to attack and break the formation, they just stiffen in place, exchanging casualties with the enemy with the superior side, and cannot break through the defense line.
Kratos's jumping soldiers are agile and ferocious, which is suitable for this narrow and long defensive white-knuckle battle, and it is the best choice for him to break the formation.
The heralds on the side had already informed Zhang Pinggao of Luo Shixin's intentions by means of drums and flags.
After Zhang Pinggao got the order, he actively cooperated with Kratos to change the defense and retreated from the front-line battlefield.
"Good work!" Luo Shixin smiled and praised: "The fight is very beautiful, and the attack will be handed over to us." ”
Zhang Pinggao wiped the blood on his face, and there was no displeasure. He cherishes his siblings and does not want to see his soldiers lose their lives in vain in simple and meaningless attrition. Throwing his eyes to the battlefield, a breathtaking scene appeared in his eyes: the strength of the jumping soldiers was smaller than that of his flag army, but they did what they could not do, shaking the Xi Clan's valley mouth defense line. Especially the giant man who rushed to the front, the appearance of Xiàn is even more terrifying. His outfit was unusual, holding a two-foot-long blade in one hand and a round steel shield in the other.
But seeing that his hands cooperate tacitly, he starts with a fierce killing move, causing death in every move, and his way of killing people is very special. It's like a show, it's not good-looking but bloody, full of cruelty and cruelty.
He stabbed the enemy in the chest, not directly pulled out, but turned around in the opponent's chest, dug a big hole, picked out the internal organs, and inserted a knife into a person's temple, which was a mortal knife, but he instinctively broke the deceased's head in half, white flowers' brains, pink brains, and sprayed all over the ground.
Zhang Pinggao has been in the army for ten years and has seen many fierce characters, including the ogre king Zhu Cang, but compared with the methods of the black giant in front of him, it is nothing in comparison. He glanced at Luo Shixin beside him, and admired in his heart, Luo Shixin saved people, punched Tuyuhun warriors, and begged for Kunlun slaves from him had already spread all over the world. Some people praise him for being a hero because of this, but some people think that this is a fool, and the dignified general is too unwise to take risks for a Kunlun slave.
Today's Kunlun Nu's table is enough to prove that Luo Shixin is a discerning talent.
Luo Shixin was also surprised by Kratos's appearance, he was like two people on the battlefield and usual, and it was hard to imagine that the giant man with demonic means was the simple, honest, IQ-negative, dull-headed and somewhat cute guy. His ferocious methods of torturing and killing enemies made even a brave man like Luo Shixin feel palpitations.
This qiē is all derived from habit, Kratos is not fond of killing enemies, but a habit. When fighting people or beasts in the arena, there are several visual effects. There is no doubt that the bloodier and more cruel it is, the happier the Byzantine nobles will be, and the more bounty they will give, which will directly affect the rations on which they depend.
So in the arena, a gladiator must not only learn to kill, but also learn how to kill beautifully, kill cleanly, and kill bloody enough.
Kratos was the king of gladiators of his time, and he fully understood these techniques, and instinctively turned on the slaughter mode according to the original habits when killing the enemy, and slaughtered all sides.
Huta, one of the warriors of the O'lost Division, saw Kratos slaughtering his people one by one, and his anger surged, and he roared and rushed forward, and the scimitar in his hand turned into a silver cold light, turning into a long rainbow, and slashing towards the enemy like lightning.
Kratos has no moves in battle, relying on the instinctive intuition of fighting on the death line, feeling that the other party is fierce, the body turns, the shield is a frame, block this sharp blow, the short blade of the right hand is like a poisonous dragon out of the sea, his short blade is short, but it is better than the long arm, the short blade has the ferocity of the short weapon has the effect of a long sword, it is the most convenient weapon used by Kratos, Luo Shixin according to his requirements, specially found the master of the armory supervisor carefully cast for Kratos, very handy.
The short blade stabbed into the heart of Huta's chest with great speed. Without hesitation, without the slightest hesitation, the short blade slashed down into Kratos' hand, and the short blade went deep into Huta's chest.
The knife didn't hit the vital point, and Huta didn't die because of it, and his eyes widened as he watched as the giant man in front of him thrust his thick palm into his chest, feeling the clumsy fingers poking into his heart. In the blink of an eye, it felt so long and terrifying in Huta's little remaining world, and at the moment of death, he suddenly had a feeling of retribution: the pregnant woman in Gu'an County was his broken belly and dug out the child......
Kratos pulled out his bloody thug, a scarlet blade and a beating heart in the palm of his hand. (To be continued......)
