Chapter Seventy-Two: The Strongest Mercenary Goes into Battle

Since the Germanic people were the strongest in Europe, their mercenary army could now be considered the most powerful legion in Europe. They are rigid and rigid, they only know how to obey orders, and as long as they give an order, they will strictly carry it out. And attach importance to the collective, a person's strength is limited, but the strength of many individuals is gathered, that is powerful, immeasurable!

Under the order to charge, even if there is no place to be buried, they will not rush forward without the slightest hesitation. What's more, these people, each of them received the money first, which made them even more energetic!

Just now they saw the bravery of the Tang Army, and they brought out the militants in their bodies, they have long wanted to participate in the war, now give an order, what are you waiting for?

"Bang! Bang bang", the Germans marched in unison, they held their spears high, and came with great momentum, one by two full of spirit!

This attracts people's attention, after all, the military discipline is so strict, and they shout from time to time, of course, these are all shouting, wanting the Tang Army to fight with them!

Zhang Biwu heard it clearly, including his soldiers, this is an invitation from the enemy, an invitation to fight, only a true warrior can get the invitation to survive in the future!

Good! Since you've brought it up, there's no way I'm going to refuse! One war is one war, who will be afraid of whom?

Zhang Biwu was looking at the enemy from afar, and he couldn't help but admire and said, "Okay! At a glance, you can see that this army is an army that fights in the ward! It's much stronger than the enemy forces we just encountered, who only rely on firearms! No wonder others say that the Germans are the most war-going people in Europe, and it seems that this is not true at all! ”

Zhang Biwu looked at the German mercenaries from afar. It can be seen that the spearmen are the main force of the German mercenaries.

German mercenaries imitate Swiss mercenaries in dense formations and raise their weapons. The men in the front row also stuck the tail end of their spears into the ground. Relies on the ground to absorb and support the kinetic energy of cavalry as it storms. These spears were "9 cubits" long (recorded by the Italian military theorist Machiavelli of the same period. It is now 4.5-5 meters), although there is still a gap with the famous 7-meter Macedonian spear, but it is enough to withstand the onslaught of cavalry.

Although everyone has formed a spear wall, the spear wall of this mercenary army looks so terrifying, all revealing a murderous aura, which makes people feel a chill.

"Drink!" There was a roar of rage, and the spear stabbed out, and when the spear was lowered and touched the ground. There was a sound of hitting the ground, "bang".

The mercenaries wielding long swords wielded their long swords, their slender swords weighing 3.5 kilograms, reaching a maximum of 1.8 meters, and generally around 1.3 meters. Such a length obviously could not be inserted into any scabbard and could only be carried on the shoulder, so the front section of the hilt was wrapped in leather where it touched the shoulder. Because it must be held with both hands, it is also called a two-handed sword.

A swordsman wielding this weapon could swing his sword to slash the horse's leg to stop the cavalry under the cover of the spearmen, or he could directly attack the gap in the knight's armor with his sword. It can also be used to attack in hand-to-hand combat, taking advantage of the opponent's spear being too long and not moving. The wielding of two-handed swords is generally mostly veterans, and the salary is much higher than that of the average spearman.

The sword was whirring. At the same time, they knocked their swords against their shields. It was obvious that he wanted to fight.

Huang Qi rode his horse, followed by Wu Xun and Xiong Zongheng, who were followed by a large group of people. Everyone is waiting for this moment!

Zhang Biwu raised his spear and said loudly to the soldiers behind him, "Brothers, have you seen it? The elite of the enemy has appeared! They really want to fight us! What do you think? Don't you dare to fight! ”

The soldiers raised their weapons and shouted, "Good! I can't ask for it! Their eyes were full of anticipation.

The armies of Li Guo and Li Laiheng also came, and they wanted to flank the coalition forces, including Li Dingguo and others.

At this time, Wagner, the commander of the German mercenaries, waved his hand at his regiment and said: "We are Germanic!" The greatest Germanic people! We received the blessing of His Majesty Leopold I from the Emperor when we set out on the expedition, and we want to express to our family that we want to exalt! Let's fight with me! Never back! Return home with honor and triumphant victory! Just like our ancestors! ”

Wagner pointed forward and shouted, "Ahead is wealth!" Countless riches! What's more important is the honor! We will have the honor of defeating the most powerful army in the world! ”

With that, the entire mercenary corps got excited, and they wanted to fight for this honor and defeat the most powerful army! Wealth is secondary.

Thunderous cheers! The Germanic mercenaries are really different, after the European armies saw the strength of the Chinese army, they were so afraid that they didn't dare to fight again, but they were excited about it and wanted to face the difficulties!

Also thunderous are the Tang Army, they are also very happy, let's fight! I can't ask for it!

Cymbals and drums! The trumpet sounds! And the mercenaries also sounded their horns, and this time, both sides rushed towards the opponent at the fastest speed, and the two streams of people were about to intersect with a surging momentum, and they were colliding with each other!

This time, no one used any firearms or stratagem, but wanted a fair duel in which only martial arts could be won.

The two sides are in close combat, and it can be said that the fight is very fierce! Both sides are fighting to the death, and everyone has shown real skills.

The mercenary smashed Tang Bing's head with his shield, and Tang Bing stabbed him with a sword in advance, just stabbing the mercenary in the stomach, and the blood flowed, and then the two fell together.

On the other side, a mercenary stabbed Tang Bing's body with a short sword, and Tang Bing also stabbed him in the body with a soldier. When the two of you are lying on the ground, you stare at me and I stare at yours.

There are also two people who are twisted together, one time you go up, and the other time I go down, rolling around.

It can be seen that Tang Bing's feet are already drenched in blood, he has obviously been injured before, and it is commendable to be able to knock down the enemy in time.

Roll, roll, he saw the blade exposed on the ground in front of him, if he rolled there, the two of them would have to die together, so what?

He did! He just twisted all the way to the other side and rolled there, apparently the enemy did not know about his intentions, and was still thinking of a way to get him out.

When he was about to roll to the blade, the enemy found out, but he was not afraid, he just shouted: "Die! You die first! There was a fierce look in his eyes, as if he was going to use all his strength to push Tang Bing away, or break free.

But no matter what he did, he couldn't, and when he got near, he was sweating profusely, and he was afraid, and he cried out, "No! No! ”

Apparently he never expected his opponent to be so cute, and no matter how much he messed around, it would be useless!

After the last, he just shouted: "Die! Let's die together! "Obviously, everyone dies together, which is the best outcome.

"Porphyry", yes! Both of them stabbed into the blades together, and both were killed.

On the other hand, a Tang soldier with a knife quickly rushed towards a group of mercenaries with shields. The mercenary quickly stabbed out his spear and tried to stop him.

I saw that he was unhurried, and slashed with the sharp blade in his hand, what a cow power! The spear was cut off and fell, and then he squatted down, and the whole action could be described as one go, not dragging mud and water, but there was one point that the falling spearhead would fall into his body.

No, he was hit his left shoulder, but he didn't pay attention to it at all, even if the tip of the spear stabbed into the top of his head, he wouldn't have the slightest evasion!

He just has to take advantage of this time, he has to cut off the opponent's feet first, and then he will destroy the enemy!

He said to do it, and the knife in his hand was swung out! The exposed foot was immediately cut off, and a mist of blood erupted, and screams followed.

The shield slammed forward, and the long thorns protruding from the shield stabbed him to death, and his hand was still holding the knife, obviously he was not reconciled, and he wanted to kill more enemies!

If someone succeeds, someone will naturally follow suit, no, another one is flying, and he is also concocting it!

It's just that this man was not so lucky, because his head was dropped on the head by the tip of the spear that had been cut off, and he fell to the ground in an instant.

Of course, the enemy is not a fool! It's impossible for you to kill and injure a lot of their men again and again, and they'll stop it.

No, as soon as the shield moved, a short spear or a slender sword emerged from the shield, and unfortunately one of the soldiers was struck and fell in a pool of blood.

Rao is like this, there are really many people who don't die! They just want to stab each other's turtle formations!

Someone else came, but they came galloping with a striking log in their hands. At the same time, the arrows from the rear were launched!

The sky is full of arrows, the sky is pouring down, the mercenaries are raising their shields, they want to hold on, to keep the last hope!

With the sound of "pop" and "clang", most of the arrows fell on the shield, and some entered through the gap and shot the enemy soldiers.

The enemy soldiers are also powerful, and if someone dies, someone will immediately be on top, so as to fill the gap and prevent the Tang army from breaking through the formation so easily.

It's just that the people who hit the wood are running together, they either carry one in two, or three people carry one, don't look at the wood is quite heavy, and two or three people carry it, their movements are very fast.

Arrows were shot from the mercenaries, and spears were ready for battle. It's close! Spear stab! Those who were in the front fell to the ground with spears or were pierced by spears and lifted up to heaven. (To be continued......)
