Chapter 1192: Sharp Weapons
The cavalry team that received the order broke away from the Jin army in front of them, and quickly killed the Jin army's artillery formation in the northeast, but it crashed into the defensive line that the Jin people had already prepared. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It was a strong defensive line consisting of horses, tower shields, and spears, and it was almost impossible for cavalry to break through such a defensive line from the front.
The Wei cavalry made several attempts, but failed to break through the strong defensive line of the Jin people.
At the same time, the stone shells of the two Shenwei cannons fell into the Jin Army artillery array outside the woods, and with two loud bangs, nearly ten catapults disintegrated and landed.
About half an hour later, the Wei army Mingjin withdrew his troops.
At this time, both sides paid a great price.
Seeing that the Wei army had withdrawn, there was a cheer from the Jin army.
"General, we have defeated the Wei army!" A subordinate general excitedly ran up to Gerald and said.
Jerold said indifferently: "Don't be too happy! The Wei army that attacked us just now is not the real Wei army at all, it is the Western Regions Army in the Wei army! The attack was nothing more than a tentative attack! ”
When the general heard this, his excitement suddenly cooled a lot.
Gerald glanced at his general, "Don't worry too much!" Even if the elite of the Wei army comes to attack, we can resist it! ”
The general nodded heavily.
The Wei army attacked for three days in a row, always using the Western Regions Army as the attacking force.
At the same time, the Roman army finally launched an offensive, and more than 500,000 regular main forces plus 150,000 local garrisons swept towards Assyria like a landslide and tsunami, and Altashar in the north lost more than 6,000 men in a single day's battle, of which more than 2,000 were allied forces in the Western Regions.
"General, General Zhao Yun's reply!" A scout officer rushed to Karen Sa to report and present a herald.
Karen snatched it and looked at it quickly. The book says, 'Reinforcements have departed!' It's here in seven days! He also reminded the Governor that if the war is unfavorable, don't fall in love with the war, and decisively transfer to the three cities of Qinxifeng! ’
Karen Sa frowned, and couldn't help but have a bad feeling.
At this moment, the general Barak came to report, "My lord, the Roman army has begun to attack again!" ”
Karen walked away, "Go, follow me up to the wall!" ”
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Durent Fortress in the province of Jinguo Dile. The Wei army has been attacking for three days, but it is only the Western Regions Army that is the main attack, and the main force of the Wei army has never participated in the attack.
The war drums of the Wei army rumbled loudly.
This time it feels completely different, and there is an aura that makes people palpitate.
The general of Jin Guozhengnan, who was standing on the gate of the fortress with his sword, couldn't help but murmur: "The main force of the Wei army is about to attack!" Hopefully Jerold will be able to withstand it! ”
Tokhtobuhua called the general Carlyle and ordered: "You immediately lead 30,000 soldiers of the Goshawk Legion to reinforce the Western Battalion!" ”
"Yes!" Carlyle answered and stepped back.
Carlyle was originally the deputy leader of the War Bear Legion, and a few days ago, the leader of the Goshawk Legion, Michael Gao, died under Ma Chao's dragoon spear, so he transferred the deputy leader of the War Bear Legion, Carlyle, to the Goshawk Legion as the leader.
As usual, the Wei army bombarded the Jin army camp with heavy firepower.
Twelve Shenwei cannons specially bombarded the fort of the Jin people and the woods on the northeast side, and there was no trace of catapults outside the woods at this time, they should all be in the woods.
A huge stone projectile fell straight on the fort, kicking up a cloud of dust, and several catapults were directly smashed and disintegrated!
Two quarters of an hour later, the 10,000 troops of the two Wei Army's Fourth Army Corps broke away from the main formation and pressed towards the Jin army camp.
A moment later, the stone bullets of the Jin army whizzed.
The Wei army immediately dispersed, and the Wei army did not rush towards the opponent's front at full speed like the previous Western Regions Army, but rushed towards the Jin army line in a scattered but orderly formation.
The stone bullets of the Jin people fell into the middle of the Wei army, and some Wei soldiers fell, but the other Wei soldiers were not moved, giving people a very calm feeling, and their faces were like ancient wells, which made people a little frightened.
The 20,000 Wei troops advanced to a distance of only thirty paces from the first line of defense of the Jin people.
This is the dead end of the catapult shooting of the Golden Army Battery.
"Array!" A Wei general raised his sword and shouted.
The originally scattered Wei army quickly converged, and at the same time, the archers of the Jin State showed their bodies and fired arrows at the Wei army, and more than 100 Wei soldiers fell.
The Wei army regrouped into battle formations while the Jin archers were preparing for the second round of shooting.
Thousands of archers from the Jin Kingdom released their arrows again, and the rain of arrows roared and hit the Wei army's shield line, crackling like rain hitting banana leaves.
As soon as the rain of arrows passed, the Wei army's shield line was withdrawn, and two thousand Wei troops fired with strong crossbows, and a large number of Jin archers who were winding up fell when they landed.
Immediately after, the Wei army's shield front closed. Almost at the same time, the rain of arrows of the Jin people roared again, and as before, there was not much effect.
At this moment, more than a dozen catapults were pushed to the second line of defense by the Jin Guoren.
Seeing this, the Wei generals immediately ordered the formation to spread out and rush into the enemy's ranks.
The original strict formation immediately dispersed, and nearly 20,000 soldiers rushed towards the Jin line, while the crossbowmen suppressed the enemy's archers and catapults with strong crossbows.
The archers of the Jin army were shot to the ground one after another, and the gunners operating the catapults were constantly hit by arrows and fell into the trench in front of them.
The Wei army's foot soldiers rushed into the first line of the Jin army, and the Jin people brandished their swords to meet them.
Immediately, the people of the Jin Kingdom felt the terrible combat strength of the main army of the Wei army, which was completely different from the feeling of fighting with the army of the Western Regions before, and the people of the Jin country only felt a strong impact like a stormy wave.
The Wei army killed the Jin army fiercely, and the barrier knife and long knife continued to set off blood waves.
The Jin people seemed to be weak in the face of the Wei army.
It only took a moment for the Wei army to defeat more than 10,000 Jin troops on the first line of defense, and then the Wei army consolidated the defense line on the spot and was not in a hurry to attack the second line of defense of the Jin army.
"Good!" Cao Cao couldn't help but high-five.
"Shenwei Cannon suppresses the opponent's artillery array with all its might! Don't stop! The two thousand-strong teams of the Modao Army immediately came up to support, and at the same time sent another two thousand-strong teams to attack the right side of the enemy's gate! The 4th Corps of Hussars is ready for an assault! ”
"No!" The herald clenched his fists in agreement, and then rode his horse down.
At this moment, 20,000 Jin troops launched a counterattack against the Wei army, which occupied the first line of defense, under the cover of catapults, and the Jin army rushed towards the Wei army line like earth-colored waves.
The Wei army's strong crossbowmen and crossbowmen shot together, and the black and oppressive arrow rain roared towards the Jin army, and a large area of the Jin army fell when they landed.
The Jin army poured in front of the Wei front.
The strong crossbowmen and crossbowmen of the Wei army immediately retreated, and at the same time, the spearmen, long knife hands, and barrier knife warriors stepped forward and shouted.
The Jin army crashed into the Wei army's front like a wave, and when it landed, the sword flashed and the flesh and blood flew sideways.
The scene was spectacular.
The Wei army's front was broken by the crowd of Jin in the blink of an eye.
The two sides are in the middle of a scuffle. The Jin people were very brave, but one by one they were beheaded to the ground by the Wei army.
The battle lasted nearly half an hour, and the Jin army retreated.
At this time, the other two 10,000 troops were storming the Jin army's defense line on the right side of the gate, and the Jin army's defense line was crumbling.
Finally, the Jin army's defense line on the right side of the gate was breached, and nearly 20,000 Wei troops poured into it like a torrent of broken embankments.
Cao Cao, who was watching the battle in the Chinese army, smiled slightly and praised: "The Fourth Army has performed very well!" ”
Several commanders of the Fourth Legion immediately thanked excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty! ”
"Your Majesty, look!" Dian Wei pointed to the Jin military camp and shouted.
Cao Cao immediately looked in the direction of Dian Wei's finger, and suddenly saw a different Jin army appearing on the second line of defense of the Jin people, more than 20,000 people, waving the eagle battle flag, every Jin soldier was very strong, like a rainbow, wearing a breastplate, obviously completely different from the previous Jin army.
A general frowned and said, "It's the Goshawk Legion of the Jin Country!" ”
Ma Chao laughed and said contemptuously: "Goshawk Legion!" I think it's an army of flies! ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and when they understood, they couldn't help laughing.
The 50,000 Jin army once again launched a counterattack against the Wei army, which occupied the first line of defense on the left side of the gate, including 20,000 soldiers of the elite Goshawk Legion.
As the vanguard, the soldiers of the 5,000 Goshawk Legion crashed into the Wei army's front.
Wei Jun immediately felt a strong pressure.
Ordinary sword and shield hands can't resist it. Thousands of Wei army obstacle sword warriors greeted them.
A fierce scuffle ensued between the two sides.
I saw a barrier warrior and a soldier of the Goshawk Legion roaring at the same time and slashing towards each other, as if they didn't see the blade of the other party at all, the blood flashed, and the barrier knife in the hand of the barrier warrior slashed into the opponent's left shoulder, half of the body was about to be separated from the body, and at the same time, the long knife of the Jin soldier also cut into the left shoulder of the barrier warrior, both sides frowned, and fell down on their knees at the same time!
A barrier warrior stuffed back the intestines that flowed out of the body, roared angrily, and slashed a Jin officer in front of him to the ground, almost at the same time another Jin soldier howled and rushed over from the right side, and the long knife in his hand stabbed into the chest of the barrier warrior, the barrier warrior knelt down on one knee, only to feel that all his strength was disappearing quickly, he gritted his teeth suddenly, held the knife with both hands and slashed out, cutting the Jin soldier in front of him in two, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and fell in a pool of blood!
A stone bullet whistled, and more than a dozen Wei soldiers and Jin soldiers who were fighting viciously flew into the sky together.
At the same time as the soldiers of the two sides were fighting to the death, the light cavalry of the 5,000th Fourth Army suddenly appeared on the northeast side of the western camp of the Jin army, opened a section of the fence with a hook, and then rushed into the Jin army camp like a whirlwind, but did not encounter any resistance.
It turned out that this was the junction of the two divisions of the Jin Army, and at this time, most of the strength of the Jin Army had been thrown into the frontal front.
5,000 light cavalry rushed into the core of the western camp and swept through the Chinese camp, most of the tents were burned and flattened, and thousands of gold troops who stayed behind in the Chinese army were killed all over the field by surprise.
Immediately, 5,000 light cavalry rushed from behind and killed the Jin army, which was fighting in front.
Jin General Gerod immediately mobilized all the troops that had not yet been put into battle to meet him, and at the same time, the 20,000 soldiers of the right battalion of the Fourth Army of the Wei Army had already detoured back to the northeast side of the Xida Battalion, which had been broken through by the light cavalry.
