Chapter 943 Reappears in the camp
The sudden change makes people can't help but think in their hearts, could it be that the Celestial Empire army has long been prepared? They have long since discovered where their elite are? Even the direction of their attack was judged.
As the saying goes, the first strike is the best one. This shows how important it is to have a head start when fighting a war.
The rebels who originally thought they had the opportunity to take the lead now suddenly found that everything was under the control of the Celestial Empire army, not to mention how bad that feeling was.
The sudden appearance of the Chinese army, but it did appear in such a way, is naturally not a good thing for the elite of the rebels who are rushing forward. It's just that the sword has been unsheathed, far from being able to be withdrawn, and now it can only be forced upwards, hoping to impact the pitch-black turtle shell on the opposite side.
That is, after a hesitation, the elite vanguard of the five hundred rebels continued to attack.
They are all former Xishu soldiers, veterans who have followed Wang Ping for several years, and have received a lot of benefits, so naturally there is nothing to say about loyalty, and now is the time to repay the favor.
Five hundred elite pioneers, armed with spears and knives, strode forward, they had already made up their minds to die, but even if they died, they wanted to die worthwhile, and they died vigorously.
In the face of the five hundred rebel elites who were still rushing rapidly, the black "turtle shell" did not react, as if it really stayed there motionless.
There was no movement, which also gave the five hundred elites more confidence in their hearts, maybe this time they were only facing an army with strong defense, but there was no offensive power, after all, think about it, with the current identity of the emperor of the Celestial Empire, it is also a matter of course that the defense around him is strengthened.
Five hundred elites as pioneers rushed straight in this way, whether it was a temptation, or a fluke mood, but also a determination to die, in short, their footsteps did not stop, a picture of forever moving forward.
This scene was also seen in the eyes of General Wang Ping, who came behind him, when he saw the turtle shell, he had a bad feeling in his heart, he wanted to stop the charge of the five hundred warriors, but at this time the situation was completely out of control, what he could do was to speed up and strive to join the front army, so that no matter what went wrong, he could make more choices if he wanted to fight or retreat.
In front of everyone's eyes, the five hundred warriors finally came to the huge black turtle shell, and at this moment, the turtle shell that had been untouched suddenly changed, and they seemed to have a slight tremor when they originally seemed to be just defensive.
It's just that this trace of tremor doesn't float much, and with the chaos on the battlefield, if you don't look closely, you can't find it at all.
The five hundred elites didn't feel anything at close range, they just knew that it was a good thing for them to rush all the way to the front, and now they only needed to take out their weapons and slash at the black shields that formed in front of them, and they only needed to open a hole in the attack, and the initiative would fall into their hands.
To say that it was indeed an elite army, although the five hundred people were a little chaotic when they were attacking, but when they really attacked, they still managed to keep pace, and the five hundred weapons smashed forward at the same time almost at the same time, smashing on the black giant shield.
"Jingle Bell..."
For a while, a pleasant and crisp sound sounded, and even because some soldiers wielded their weapons too hard, there was a burst of sparks.
A wave of attacks was almost completed in an instant, but unfortunately it did not have any effect on those giant shields, and the turtle shell in front of him remained the same as before.
One blow failed, the five hundred elites were unwilling, and when they were about to retract their knives and prepare for the second attack, the black giant shield suddenly moved, and the shield array, which was originally very tightly arranged, suddenly revealed countless gaps in the middle, and then from those gaps, silver spears stretched out, and pierced straight towards the place where they were standing.
This scene was like an octopus in the sea, and suddenly stretched out its long tentacles in the originally quiet state, and the place where those spears were pierced was the five hundred Xishu elites who were standing in front of them who were collecting their knives and guns.
"Puff puff..."
Without any warning, or even preparation, those spears pierced through the bodies of the Xishu soldiers, bringing out streams of red blood that rushed to the sky.
It was just a sudden attack, and at least nearly three hundred Xishu elites were pierced through their bodies by spears, and then they fell to the ground one by one with unwilling faces.
"Ahh The rest of the Xishu elites who were lucky enough to be alive widened their eyes at this moment, looking at the scene in front of them in disbelief. Before the loss, they thought that this was just a defensive array, and the characteristic was that it was not easy to attack, but there should be no counterattack power. But now it seems that this is not the case at all.
After the two hundred elites were stunned, they launched a frantic attack, they wanted to avenge their companions.
The two hundred elites with the heart of death continued to attack, but no matter how hard they tried, they still couldn't regret the huge turtle shell, not only that, every time they attacked, the spear would stretch out from the black shield to counterattack, but after a few rounds, there were not even fifty people left of the two hundred people.
At this moment, they finally knew the power of this black shield turtle shell, and the retreat of less than fifty people also began to retreat with a decadent face.
It's not that they're afraid of death, it's just that they've lost the courage to fight again and the confidence to win in the face of a defensive shield that can't be broken at all.
Fortunately, at this moment, General Wang Ping rushed over with a large army. When he saw that there were less than one-tenth of the five hundred pioneers sent out, he also had a bloody expression on his face, these were all brothers who had followed him for many years, which could be said to be the foundation of his life, and it was also the bargaining chip that he was able to negotiate with Cao Ang, but now, so many people died.
Wang Ping, who was dripping blood in his heart, was undoubtedly very angry in his heart at this moment. "Chong, General Ben doesn't believe it, we have so many people, and we can't attack this defensive formation, the left and right route armies will kill me, and the middle route army will wait for the opportunity!"
On the surface, Wang Ping seemed to be roaring in anger, but in fact, his mind was very clear when he issued the order.
The so-called left and right route armies are the 10,000 elite soldiers borrowed from Cao Ang, and his 5,000 people are placed in the Chinese army, he obviously also saw the power of this defensive formation, before breaking the formation, he didn't want to lose his strength, so he had to borrow Cao Ang's soldiers to attack.
The general gave the order, and the soldiers on the left and right began to launch a fierce attack on the black giant shield in front of them.
Although they had seen the horror of this turtle shell just now, this time they were outnumbered, and they were not afraid of anything.
For example, there were only 500 people just now, and everyone launched an attack together, but this time there were more people, so they could be divided into several echelons to attack, so they were not afraid of the opponent's spear attack.
At this time, behind the black turtle shell, it was General Gao Shun who was standing.
Compared with the various army commanders of the Celestial Empire, Gao Shun was a special existence.
He doesn't fight for fame, doesn't fight for profit, and even interacts with people, he just keeps in touch with his old friend Zhang Liaochang, and he never interacts with other army commanders and deputy army commanders and generals. In addition to the fact that Gao Shun himself is not good at talking, there is a more important reason, that is, he does not want to be suspicious.
If you don't be the commander of the trapped camp, you won't know how much money the Celestial Empire will spend on this army every year?
It is an exaggeration to say that the money to feed these 5,000 people is more than enough to form an army of 100,000. spent so much money, just for a team of 5,000 people, such a thing can only be done by Zhang Chao, who is familiar with the history of the trapped camp.
Money is constantly supplied, and whatever weapons are needed, the Zhangjia Weapons Academy will also send them as soon as possible.
If there are good things in the cavalry that are first supplied to the heavy cavalry and light cavalry of the Zhang family, then in the infantry area, what good things are used in the camp first.
The investment will be rewarded, and with Zhang Chao's strong support, the combat ability of the trapped camp has been greatly improved, and it has also become a powerful secret weapon of the Celestial Empire.
With such an army in charge of Gao Shun, he can't help but think about it, at least he has to think of how to make Zhang Chao feel at ease, so that he can rest assured that the command and management of the army will be in his hands.
Faced with this problem, Gao Shun chose to be low-key and low-key.
does not associate privately with any general, which indicates that he does not form gangs; Not arguing with others in front of others shows that he does not have the heart to win. In this way, Zhang Chao was really at ease with him.
But because of this, no one knows how strong the strength of the trapped camp is, even if even Emperor Zhang Chao only knows that this is an elite division, as for what kind of combat power he will exert on the battlefield, he can't make a judgment.
Gao Shun's low profile even made many people ignore him, so that the enemies who were opponents rarely took this army of only 5,000 men in their eyes. If it weren't for that, Wang Ping would have guessed who the opponent was when he saw this huge turtle shell, and he wouldn't have given such a blind order to attack.
Taking advantage of the enemy's contempt for himself, he launched a fierce counterattack, this is what Gao Shun said to the generals below before the battle.
For example, before it was just defense, and did not take the initiative to attack, just to make the other party have a contempt, and if a person is careless, there will be more flaws, and the death will naturally be worse.
"General, they've launched an onslaught." A deputy commander came to Gao Shun, who was dressed in black heavy armor, and said very respectfully.
