Chapter 540: King Grand Magician Xuan
This short period of time does not allow these soldiers to become philosophers and thinkers.
A life of hardship and hardship cannot make them strong-willed, become disregarded for life and death, and be ruthless.
They don't have enough money to buy their lives, and they don't have their families and children behind them, so they can't find a reason to sacrifice.
With the unswerving footsteps of Wang Xuan's steel army, the distance was shrinking little by little, and death was approaching little by little, and in the face of this irresistible pressure and threat of death, these soldiers collapsed.
His face was frightened, his hands and feet trembled, his weapons could not be held, and his body retreated uncontrollably, crowding behind him.
One pass ten, ten pass hundred, three military camps, the front line is completely chaotic, the soldiers behind him are stubbornly resisting the comrades who want to retreat in front, there is a way that is a dead Taoist friend does not die poor Tao, why do you retreat to Lao Tzu will not go up, that is absolutely not good!
At this moment, only fuck!
It is the officers at the forefront of the team, and they don't have the mind of the whole team at the moment, they are more discerning than those mud legs, and they understand better, the opposite side is definitely the elite of the elite, look at the snow bright steel knife and steel shield, the iron armor helmet covered in the body, it is simply a steel monster, they don't know if they can hurt the other side with a knife, but they know that the broken leather armor on their body is not much stronger than the paper paste when the knife comes down.
Either defeat or die, but they don't want to die, and they are more desperate than those poor jingles and Qiu Ba, who has no wife.
This is cold weapon warfare, the soldiers above the battle array are living people, not cold numbers and NPCs, there are joys and sorrows, there are sorrows and fears, and it is often morale and determination that control the victory of a war, rather than weapons and armor or other equipment.
Hold on to the chord in your heart, which side has high morale and which side is not afraid of death, which side can usher in the final victory.
This is also the truth that the time is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the people!
It's just that Wang Xuan added two more sentences on the basis of this theory, "People are not as good as rich, there must be brave men under heavy rewards, gold and silver mountains are smashed, and farmers can become hungry wolf legends!" â
Wang Xuan had already given an order in the army, this battle, 50,000 against 300,000, beheading a hundred taels of silver!
What a concept of a hundred taels of silver!
Even if prices skyrocket, it is enough for a strong laborer to work for five or six years!
Now you only need a head to get it, look at the cloth armor on the opposite side, then look at the iron armor on your body, look at the rusty knife and gun on the other side, and then look at your shiny steel knife and shield!
Damn, if it weren't for the strict discipline in the army, no one would dare to rush blindly without obeying orders, and by now, this group of guys would have been screaming and killing!
As for Wang Xuan, there are only 300,000 people on the other side, and it is only 30 million taels of silver when they are killed.
Besides, the person on the other side is not a pig, so can't you run!
Running all over the mountains, coupled with military discipline constraints and surrender, this battle was carefully calculated, and there were three or five million taels of silver to stop!
Three or five million, that's money?
This money can be exchanged for a big victory, in exchange for the opportunity to enter Beijing City and completely control the Ming Dynasty, this is called a profitable business, this business is done, don't be too cost-effective!
That's the difference between the two armies!
Sergeant Yang He, for fear of being ranked at the front, is certain to die, and his spirit will collapse.
Wang Xuan's sergeant, for fear that he would not be ranked in front, looked at it at a glance, it was not the enemy army at all, but a hundred taels of silver walking, with a red face and a thick neck with excitement!
Three hundred steps, two hundred steps...... Sergeant Wang Xuan's eyes flashed with bloodthirsty and excited, even if he was two hundred steps away, Sergeant Yang He on the opposite side could clearly feel that the gaze on the other side was extraordinarily penetrating.
Lao Tzu's big knife has long been hungry and thirsty!
In Yang He's camp, well, it's actually not a serious camp, after all, building a camp of 300,000 people can't be completed in a day or two, just the big wood needed is an astronomical amount, and besides, Yang He didn't think that he would be able to defend.
In their imagination, they have 300,000 on their own side and 50,000 on the other side, and the initiative to attack must be in their own hands, so the camp or something is a symbolic thing, and it will fall down as soon as you push it!
The soldiers in the back couldn't retreat from the front, and the pressure that made people collapse completely crushed the spirit of the soldiers, and there was no order at all, I don't know who was the first to shoot the arrow in his hand, as if breaking some barrier, the defending archers in the front row of the camp followed and shot the bow and arrow in their hands.
For a while, it also looked magnificent, and the overwhelming arrows covered Wang Xuanjun, and then, falling to the ground far away, it would be hellish if he could shoot people in two hundred steps.
From fear to collapse, these archers couldn't manage so much, with their eyes closed, they just drew their bows and shot arrows, venting frantically until their arm strength was exhausted, although the generals in charge of the command behind them hissed and shouted orders to no avail, and the sound could not reach the front at all.
This was the case in ancient cold weapon warfare, which was extremely difficult to command, and most of the time, once the engagement began, it was necessary to divert personal will.
This doesn't work, it definitely doesn't work, if it goes on like this, as long as the war starts, your side will be completely finished!
Although these people under the command of Yang Hejun are not brave generals, they have been in the army for a lifetime, and they can still see the most basic things!
The morale of the other party is like a rainbow, the equipment is as good as possible, the mind of the other side has been robbed, and it has fallen into the disadvantage, and something must be done!
It's just that in this era when communication basically relies on roaring, the huge battlefield, there is no time to communicate with everyone, there are panicked, there are hesitant, but there are also decisive.
The sporadic drums sounded on the battlefield, this is the drum of the whole army's advance, once it sounds, it means that the whole army is advancing, confronting the enemy head-on, and fighting to the death!
Whether it's fear or any other emotion, there must be an outlet so that it doesn't collapse.
Xu was affected by the sound of the drums, and the commanders of the battle formations also reacted, and the war drums sounded one by one, and soon resounded through the camp of the 300,000 army.
The fence of the camp had no resistance at all, and the army as a whole collapsed directly as soon as it was pushed, and the 300,000 army rushed up in a swarm, looking terrifying!
In fact, not to mention the 300,000 army, it is 300,000 pigs rushing up, well, that momentum is indeed stronger than the army......
On Wang Xuanjun's side, the sound of war drums stopped suddenly, and at this time the quality of the soldiers was seen, and the army marched, but after the drums stopped, they stopped at the same time, and the formation was not chaotic at all, which was unique in this era.
Yang Hejun, who rushed out of the camp on the opposite side, was only a hundred steps away at the moment, the horn sounded, and the army immediately put the knife into the sheath, took off the crossbow machine on the waist, quickly shook the handle to pull the bowstring, and placed the crossbow arrows.
One hundred steps, ninety steps, eighty steps, and it was not until the nearest distance of Yang He's army that there were only forty steps left, and the horn sounded again.
After "dirt ~ dirt" was long and short, the soldier violently launched the crossbow machine in his hand, and the three-edged arrow cluster cut through the air, emitting a terrible and piercing scream, and the screaming sound was connected and resounded throughout the battlefield.
"Poof", "poof", "poof", "poof", "poof", "poof" "poof"
This was followed by a continuous stream of screams, shaking the handle, setting up the bolts, and firing them, which would not stop as long as there was no next command.
Countless sharp arrows pierced the sky, and in just three minutes, no less than 300,000 arrows were fired, which was equivalent to 100,000 taels of silver being consumed.
The spray of blood filled the air, and there were corpses all over the place, and five or six out of ten who were in front were shot dead on the spot, and some of those who did not die were also seriously injured, and it was impossible to save them.
Yang He's army went from charging like crazy, to being stopped by sharp arrows, to completely collapsing with heavy casualties, and it only took three minutes before and after!
This scene not only completely crushed the hearts of Yang He's army and began to rout the whole army, but also frightened the people who were watching the battle far away in the city, and the terrible screams before death spread far away throughout half of Beijing, making everyone who heard it burst into sweat and shuddered, and the timid people simply peed their pants in fright.
"Dirt~Dirt~, dirt!"
Two long and one short horns sounded, and the army immediately put away the crossbow machine in their hands, and pulled out the steel knife in their hands again, followed by the rapid sound of drums.
This is the signal of the pursuit of the whole army!
In an instant, the soldiers were like old bachelors who saw the distracted, disheveled, and messy young lady, and a group of six frantically pounced on the moving hundred taels of silver, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
Zi once said that when you meet a tiger, you don't need to run faster than a tiger, you just need to run faster than your teammates, and at this moment, it's the same reason, running past your teammates is the most important thing!
To be honest, Wang Xuan knew that the so-called three-sided elite was a joke, but he didn't expect it to be so ridiculous, and he couldn't withstand a wave of arrow rain blows and began to rout, which really disappointed him, there was no melee confrontation, and he felt that the shock was insufficient!
But he never thought that in history, bows and arrows have always been flattened leaf-shaped arrow clusters, in order to be convenient to make, low cost, but weak lethality, so it will create the image of a fierce general wearing armor and being shot like a hedgehog, but still alive and vigorous.
But try it with a three-edged bone-piercing arrow made of stainless steel like his, you only need one arrow, and you can try it again, just the blood grooves opened on three sides can drain people's blood!
In ancient times, this kind of arrowhead, which was only used by generals, was expensive and extremely low, where could it be used on such a large scale as Wang Xuan.
300,000 heavy arrows caused more damage than millions of ordinary arrows, just this wave of blows, with the dense formation of Yang Hejun's army, before he could react, no less than 40,000 people were shot in just three minutes!
For the 300,000 Yang Hejun, the loss has already exceeded one-tenth!
In the cold weapon war, the one who loses more than one-tenth of the elite and does not collapse is the elite, but the trilateral elite is not the elite, and the collapse is predictable!
But the enemy has been defeated, and he has no choice but to order the whole army to pursue, but the 10,000 reserves led by Sun Chuanting are a little far away from the battleground, looking at so many heads and dogs advancing wildly in front......
âââŽīšââŽīŧâ The reserves, if it weren't for the absolute prohibition of throwing away their armor in the army, the last 10,000 people would be eager to take off their equipment and go into battle lightly!
Completely unilateral and mercilessly crushed!
Although Yang Hejun ran with his life, the quality of the soldiers was too different, and he was chased by Wang Xuanjun before he went far.
The bright sword flashed, and he stabbed down from behind, directly cutting off the opponent's head, and the big head rose to the sky, a cavity of blood sprayed Lao Gao, and the headless corpse took a few steps forward before he fell, Wang Xuan's sergeant wiped the blood on his head, and caught the head, he couldn't help laughing, the blood flowed down the corners of his mouth, and the teeth were all blood-red!
"One hundred taels, get it!"
The comrades behind him glanced enviously, and his steps were a little faster, catching up with a man who also swung out with a knife, "Poof! â
Swing the knife, one hundred taels!
Swing the knife, two hundred taels!
Wang Grand Magician Xuan waved his hand and applied a buff to the entire army.
Skill: Heavy Reward.
Skill evaluation: As the saying goes, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, there is nothing that cannot be solved by spending money, if there is, that the money spent is not enough!
Skill Effect: The recipient removes all DBUFF, physical strength MAX, morale MAX, speed MAX, defense is cleared, and attack power is doubled.
Driven by the magic of money, Wang Xuan's soldiers are like perpetual motion machines that keep harvesting the lives of their enemies.
"One hundred taels in front, don't run, stop for Lao Tzu!"
Similar shouts resounded throughout the battlefield, and for a time suppressed all the screams.
It wasn't until the horn sounded again, which represented the surrender of the enemy, that the sound became quieter.
Military law is like a mountain, no one dares to violate it!
There were bursts of weak "surrender and don't kill" sounds, and I didn't dare not shout, but no one cared how to shout.
The words 'surrender and don't kill' were shouted so reluctantly for the first time that the enemy couldn't hear them at all, but even if the voice was small, it resounded in the ears of every elite on the three sides.
The "jingle bell" weapon landed on the ground mixed with the kneeling life of "poof" became the main theme of the battlefield, looking at the group of people kneeling on the ground and asking to surrender, Wang Xuan's soldiers gritted their teeth with hatred!
Why did you surrender, how dare you surrender!
"You're still not a gentleman, it's not a shame to surrender on your knees, stand up if you're a man!" Sergeant Wang Xuan pointed to the elite of the three sides who were kneeling on the ground and asked to surrender, and scolded loudly.
The three sides of the elite stared, looking like I would be a fool if I got up, and the angry soldier stomped his feet.
"It's also a three-sided elite, it's really embarrassing, come, stand up, go head-on, don't let me look down on you, let's fight three lilies again!"
"Are you a special girl, kneeling so standardly, do you dare to get up and duel with me, I will use a knife with my bare hands!"
"Come on, come on, I won't bully you, I'll take off my armor, if you still bring it, I'll go with Lao Tzu for two rounds!"
In broad daylight, it was not daring to violate military discipline and kill prisoners, but this did not delay Wang Xuan's sergeant to try his best to scold and provoke the other party to stand up and fight with him.
It's just that...... Not to say that it has no effect, but the brain is tendoned, and it still occupies the entire braincase after all, after all, there are few of them, these former trilateral elites now only have one thought, you love to say what you say, it's good to be alive, what's more, lie directly on the ground, bury your head in a posture of letting you pick up.
ââĻâĻâ
Damn, in the face of this group of people who were completely instigated, Wang Xuanjun had no choice but to stare at them with greedy eyes and glance back and forth on their necks, and all kinds of thoughts rolled in his heart.
Suddenly, a soldier's eyes lit up, he put down the knife in his hand, and patted the back of the prisoner who knelt on the ground and asked to surrender with the back of the knife, "Okay, let's go, go over there and gather." â
The captive's expression was relieved, and he let out a long breath, and finally passed, and when he was relieved, he only felt weak, and he staggered to his feet, and only took two steps before he heard the voice behind him shouting loudly again: "Dare to run away, take your life!" â
Before he could react, he felt his gaze rise suddenly, and a very familiar headless corpse below, blood was spurting wildly from his neck!
Damn, lie to me!
That was his last thought.
"Everyone saw it, this guy got up and ran away, I didn't violate military discipline!"
"w(ãĐã)w" captive.
"o( ĖâŊ Ė)d" comrades.
âĻâĻ
Before the battle began, the three groups of martial arts people with their own thoughts all arrived before and after, and quietly watched the battle above the city.
At this moment, the city of Beijing is unprecedentedly quiet, no one on the city wall makes a sound, and the scene of hundreds of thousands of troops fighting is rare in a hundred years, and the slaughtering atmosphere that soars into the sky is shocking.
The crowd that occupies the entire field of vision alone makes people unable to resist, let alone the big war, the deafening shouting and killing, the hearts of the people who are impacted tremble, or the blood is boiling, or frightened and afraid, everyone's reaction is different, the only thing that is the same is that they can't make any sound, even the people who can't see it, they also prick up their ears to listen, although the warring sides don't care about their group of people, but they care about the impact of the war on their own families.
Above the city, watching the two armies gradually approaching, the big battle is about to break out, whether it is Dongfang Undefeated or Fang Zheng Master, or Linghu Chong's side, there is a kind of powerless and daring, hundreds of thousands of people on the battlefield, it is indeed not one or two people who can control the battle situation.
