Chapter 81: The Real War (Part I)
And the abrupt archers, relying on their skill, and they are always on horseback, extremely flexible, can advance and retreat, very difficult, even if they are defeated, it is difficult to destroy too much.
Hardly needing much thought from the Northern Tang people, the Sudden Warriors were the first to launch as always, and they quickly occupied a relatively favorable terrain, facing the heavy infantry in armor of the Northern Tang Dynasty to carry out a ferocious attack first.
Behind, the horses neighed, and the light cavalry of the abrupt man began to advance.
The arrows that covered the sky surged wildly, like locusts surging, and the black-pressed talisman "crackled" and smashed over.
Guan Kuo tried his best to cover his body tightly, such a dense rain of arrows, he thought that if he was the hunchbacked old gold with a strange body, he didn't know if he would be able to dodge easily.
In the face of such a powerful war machine, even the content on the bamboo slip has become a little weak, not to mention Guan Kuo, who has just started and has a little bit of comprehension.
After all, Wanfu is just a description, even if it is a powerful character, as an individual, it will look particularly weak under the single-handedness of a single person.
Guan Kuo didn't think about it, if someone could really sweep away the thousands of troops by himself, the hunchbacked old Jin would not escape, and his father Guan Qinghe would not make compromises to the Yulin Army, and at the same time negotiate terms with Xue Zhao, instead of killing all the way out with one person and one knife.
Of course, the drills on weekdays, as well as the cooperation of the group, as well as experience, personal ability, etc., can resist this rain of arrows, and in the face of this situation, the soldiers of the Northern Tang Dynasty have their own methods.
The shield of the Northern Tang Dynasty has gone through the essence and evolution of so many dynasties, until now it has reached a sufficient height, although it is impossible to achieve absolute defense, but it can basically block the stormy attack of the sudden archers.
They were close together, their shields tightly arranged, and a large number of arrows came rushing in, most of them blocked out, and were heavily nailed to the shields.
Guan Kuo breathed deeply, the breath in his body flowed, and he was carrying out the luck method on the bamboo slip all the time, his body felt a little more comfortable, here, this could make him relatively less effortless than the others around him.
As the arrows continued to be nailed, the shield in his hand became heavier and heavier, and with the continuous attacks, no matter how uneven the force was, the shield continued to shake, and it seemed that it would fall off anytime and anywhere.
Although the defense of the Northern Tang army was tight and well-trained, no matter who was on either side of the war, it was impossible to be safe and stable, except for the sound of arrows and shields, miserable howls continued to come out, and the "poof" sound of arrows piercing into the flesh was endless, and countless people got out of their hands because they couldn't bear the power on the shield, followed by endless black nightmares.
When a shield is taken off, it will not be just one person who will be killed, the formation of the group, as long as it is damaged, the impact will continue to spread, and the surrounding people will be affected.
However, the living quickly shrank in formation to fill the hole that had arisen due to the death of their comrades.
This is war, there is no time for anger and sorrow, and the most important thing is to live.
Guan Kuo should be glad that he was surrounded by useless Kelei and others, his own shield was held steadily, and those people were also held, and he would not be too affected by the people around him.
The arrow attack of the sudden archers actually only lasted for a short time, and the light cavalry behind them was surging close, but Guan Kuo felt that life was like a year.
With the timely order, everyone put their shields, which were almost shot like hedgehogs, in front of them, and looked at the abrupt army of smoke and dust in the distance with serious expressions.
The ground was shaking, and everyone's tense muscles were still shaking.
Guan Kuo narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, still breathing in the breath between heaven and earth, maintaining his heart rate.
"His grandmother's, those abrupt people like rabbits, where did they get so many arrows!?" Useless exhaled a breath of turbidity, facing the abrupt light rider who rushed over, although his face was not relaxed, but his complexion was normal.
Here, he is considered a strong man, and he is confident that he can kill the enemy and not be killed by others.
"Whatever, those bitches are just under-stabbed!" But Lei sneered, his heart was very excited, his palms began to sweat, he felt a little jealous of the big scene, but at the same time he imagined how many opponents he could kill later, and he became excited.
He looked at the silence not far away beside him, his face was solemn, and it could also be said that he was serious Guan Kuo, grinning and wanting to sarcastically say a few times as before, and suddenly thought of the scenes that seemed like a dream yesterday, so he woke up, his expression was a little complicated, and then he snorted coldly.
Guan Kuo saw it, but he didn't think much about it, being abrupt is the goal worth his consideration.
Tie Shan Wu, the spiritual pillar of many of them, raised his head, then leaned slightly, facing the smoke and dust in front of him, and shook the body of the spear.
His movements are very dashing, and that is his usual move to motivate morale.
Many people know that he doesn't seem to care, it doesn't really matter, the people here are his brothers in life and death, no matter who it is, he doesn't want to part with life and death, so he shakes the gun and practices for them.
Do it and cherish it, and the pawns who cross the river do not look back.
And then ...... Kill!
There was a large sound of the machine spring bouncing from the back, the sound of the crossbow machine shook the sky, the crossbow bolts covered the sun, and the crossbow arrows, known as the big killing weapon, devoured the oncoming abrupt cavalry.
Countless people and horses were hit by extremely piercing crossbow arrows, and people turned on their backs, killing and wounding a large number of people.
The abrupt people are all lightly armoured, the horses are not armoured, the shields are small, they pay attention to speed and destruction, impact power, and the defense is low, and their forwards generally suffer relatively large casualties, but this alone cannot affect their ruthlessness, because in the blink of an eye, they have already collided viciously.
The formation of the Northern Tang and Northern Xinjiang troops is very tight, one person is next to the other, and the person behind is against the person in front, and the power is transmitted and can be buffered, which is the best way to deal with the sudden light cavalry collision.
Although they didn't treat each other very well, Guan Kuo had to cling to them with Useless Kelei, and he tried to stand firm, relieving others of his strength, and at the same time channeling the power that he couldn't stand to the people around him.
The hand-to-hand encounter, thousands of troops and horses touched each other, causing a great turmoil like a huge wave of the ocean, and the whole front was violently trembling.
In the gap between the shields, the spears kept poking forward, blood splattered, and the dead, seriously injured abrupt men and horses also smashed up like stones, causing a lot of commotion.
