Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Divine Soldier Descends from Heaven (Part II)
I originally wanted to change this chapter on Chinese New Year's Eve, but the environment was a little noisy at night, so it was delayed until the first day of the new year.
In short, the first chapter of the new year, I wish you all the best in the new year, and many blessings and gold!
Happy New Year, if you take the New Year's money, take a monthly pass, thank you very much!
-------------
When the cavalry who came from the side spread out their formation, galloping freely in the muddy field full of rain, and getting closer, Xie Houyin swept it at a glance, just calculated it slightly, and counted it, the number of people who came was about 40,000, compared to the fact that there were at least nearly 100,000 troops left in his hands now, it was really not much, but these people gave him an extremely depressed feeling.
The terrible dark red color like viscous plasma, connected in patches, felt very ominous when looked at, and most importantly, it was definitely not the sign of any Southland army that he knew.
Who will it be?
Could it be the Rakshasa clan in Huangsha County who were ignored by him?
No, these fine armors covering the whole body, you can know that they are specially built when you look at them, how can they be equipped day and night, not to mention decades of accumulation.
And this terrifying momentum of 40,000 people as one once they charge, is definitely the elite of the elite, absolutely!
"Alert, quick, alert, alert!"
Xie Houyin stood on the high platform, waved his arms, and commanded to the bottom in a hoarse voice, not only that, but the patriotic soldiers who were originally like a tide, rushing through the ladder in front of the city, also hurriedly began to retreat, even if they all knew that as long as they held on for a while, they could successfully break through the level here, but they still obeyed the order to retreat very obediently.
There is no other reason, it is really that the oppression of this group of cavalry in the distance is too terrifying, and the heavy knights covered in dark red armor seem to have been born in blood, and they are avengers who have come out of hell.
Not to mention simply, like this kind of full-body armor that even covers the face armor, even if it is not a thickened heavy armor, it can be put on a person's body to say that there are dozens of catties, which is enough to show that these people must be the elite of the elite, all of them are good hands, otherwise it is difficult for ordinary people to wear these things and even perform normal activities, let alone fight with people.
And these war horses must be one in a hundred good horses, otherwise it is impossible to carry hundreds of pounds of things and still walk like flying, like iron towers.
But where did this come from?
Could it be the last hole card of Liangguo, the perennial guard stationed in the capital of Liangguo?
But as far as he knew, the armor style of the Fox Guards was not like this, and everyone knew that the number of the Fox Guards was only 30,000 in total, and more importantly, now that Da Liang was under enemy on all sides, it was impossible for the Fox Guards to stay away from the capital rashly.
So Xie Houyin was very puzzled, where did this suddenly come from, if it weren't for the tremor under his feet that was so real, he would even think if it was an illusion.
At that moment, he suddenly had an extremely bad sense of urgency, if the cavalry in front of him was not all, then what if the other people and horses were on the right track?
---------------
At this moment, at a certain point of the border defense line of Liangzhou.
With a high-pitched horn suddenly sounding from the inside of the gate, I saw that the door that had been smashed by the collision outside the door for a long time was suddenly opened from the inside, and then in the stunned expression of the commander-in-chief in the rear, a dark red wave quickly poured out from inside.
Who would have thought that when he was about to command his subordinates to successfully capture this place, the other party would take the initiative to open the previously closed door.
Is it surrender?
Or are you ready to make a last-ditch effort?
What the hell are these well-armed cavalrymen?
Before he could think of any useful conclusions, the knight who came out first, with a significantly more hideous armor style, held a long lance and a cold gaze, as he galloped forward from the inside
Wait, these patriotic soldiers in front of them who were still hurrying up and down the ladder, these patriots who were full of joy and thought that they were about to succeed in victory, did not have time to react at all.
"Bang!"
With a dance of lance, it swept in with a strong wind and struck heavily on the head of a stunned patriotic soldier wearing a fishskin helmet.
Then I saw a large head tightly wrapped in a helmet, break away from its body, and fly sideways.
One hit!
Just one hit!
Directly break the whole head neatly, from the neck, not even touching the belt flesh in the middle, what a lot of power, and what a terrible explosive power, I am afraid that this blow is enough to blow the boulder to the ground.
Humvee lance, air shock mountain!
A weapon like a horse lance, its cost is more than a thousand times that of an ordinary spear, it is not a kind of court, and the nobles in the gate cannot be obtained, this person's background must be extraordinary!
Wei Chidun watched this scene from behind, and his eyes were full of fear for a moment.
But he is not really an incompetent person who has no ability, although today's status is mostly in the shadow of his ancestors, but since he was a child, at least he is familiar with the matter of marching and fighting.
At that moment, without waiting for Wei Ping, who was specially sent to assist him, Wei Chidun immediately made what he thought was the most correct choice at the moment.
"Give it all to Lao Tzu and stop them inside!"
This is just the beginning, and the total number of cavalry on the other side does not know how many there are, but Wei Chi Dan is sure that there are not a few, because there are such fierce generals in hand, Wei Chi Dan does not believe that the other party will not let him be used as a defender at the head of the city.
The only correct explanation is that this is a trap at the beginning, and the other party is waiting for them to think that they are going to break through the defense line, so the whole army rushes up together, and when they can't successfully retreat in a short time, they will suddenly kill, so as to ensure the suddenness, and the maximum damage caused and the most gains.
Therefore, he must rely on himself to take the advantage of being the first mover and block the other party in it first!
Because once the cavalry cannot successfully open the distance and charge with all their strength, they will lose their greatest advantage, that is, mobility and the momentum of the horse, and after being surrounded by a group of infantry, these thick armor will become a burden!
I have to say that Wei Chidun did not fall too far into the prestige of his ancestors, although he has always been a simple person with simple ideas and impulsive and brainless things, but on this battlefield, especially in the face of this sudden situation, the way he came up with the deal is absolutely correct!
It's a pity that the enemy is too strong.
"Break the army!"
The man in the lead with a lance suddenly let out a soft snort, it was only they themselves who knew a password, and each password represented a different way of fighting.
I saw that part of the cavalry team that had just rushed out of it suddenly divided to both sides, and then I saw that in the corridor inside the city wall, an extremely terrible thing suddenly appeared, called "knife cart".
The knife cart was pushed by the four soldiers together, the front was full of sharp knives, the four of them riveted their strength, roared and pushed out, the patriotic soldiers in front of them saw this, where did they dare to stop, one by one quickly jumped away to both sides, if they were hit head-on, it was really a "thousand cuts".
Not only that, but immediately after that, a number of knife carts rushed out together, and even the knights on the horses had already started shooting with crossbows in their hands.
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
There is no need to open their own bow and arrows, crossbow arrows rely on the help of the mechanism, and shoot out in succession, although the length is less than one-third of the general feather arrows, but as long as it is shot into the person's body, it is almost completely submerged, especially these knights are very good at using hand * crossbows, and the roots are directly shot at the vital point, and it is absolutely guaranteed that two arrows will make a person lose combat effectiveness.
Eye sockets, cheeks, neck, chestγγγγγγ
On the other hand, on the Wei Guo side, because all their people are piled up
Below the head of the city, that is, on the side of the cloud ladder cloud tower, and the most powerful ballista and catapult are all behind, which cannot be supported, not to mention that because the coverage is too large, the precision is not enough, etc., it is not suitable for use in this place.
Relying solely on the soldiers to return fire with crossbow arrows at hand is at most to shoot the horses with insufficient defense capabilities underneath, but because these horses are covered with a layer of slippery "raincoats", it is difficult to say that they are killed immediately, and a salvo may not succeed in bringing down a horse.
And as long as the arrow is not shot by a person with particularly strong arms, and falls on these thickly armored cavalrymen, it will either turn and slide directly to the other side and fall to the ground, or it will hit the whole shaft of the arrow and crack, and the person who was shot will not even shake slightly.
It's like you're fighting with a tower, no matter how you exert your strength on the other side, try your best, and you don't care about it.
Not only that, these knights with dark red armor continued to ride their horses forward, especially the one who held the lance in his hand, which was simply the one who had no one in his eyes, and the lance in his hand swept away, not to mention flying, and directly hit the person's entire waist down at once.
It's a bunch of humanoid weapons!
"Cheng!"
The long slashing knife danced, the blade was extremely sharp, carrying the momentum of the war horse, and under the command of the sword, it was a rain of blood and stumps flying up in an instant, often cutting people with shields.
The blades of the two sides are not of the same level at all, and I don't know what kind of material this weapon is made of, and it is not much more difficult to cut these patriots than to cut tofu.
"Shhh
A war horse was accidentally shot at the joint of the front hooves that could not be covered by the "raincoat", and after neighing, he had no choice but to fall, and the knight on the horse saw this, and turned over and jumped directly to the side.
Although there was no sense of lightness in the whole process, and even when he fell and stepped on his feet in the mud, because the impact was too great and his body was too heavy, he fell directly into it three inches deep, but it didn't seem to affect anything.
Among the people who turned off from the war horses, some directly pulled out the big knives at their waists, some held a hand axe, and some held two small double hammers, taking a calm and steady step, approaching step by step.
In the eyes of the patriotic soldiers, a mood called fear and despair suddenly appeared.
These people in front of them are simply machines made for killing, and they give people a feeling that is even more terrifying than those ballista trebuchets and so on.
Imagine what can you do when a man wrapped in dark red armor, with an axe in his hand, walks towards you?
The soldiers of the Patriotic Nation glanced at each other, had courage for each other, and there was no way to retreat, so they raised their swords, shouted to cheer themselves up, and hurried forward to meet them.
The knight who was walking forward step by step in front of him saw the enemy rushing towards him, and instantly raised the axe in his hand, his eyes were extremely indifferent, as if there was only a corpse in front of him.
Enough distance, he swung his arm, and the short-handled axe fell heavily, slashing through the opponent's neck until it reached the rib cage before it stopped on a rib.
A huge gap appeared in the other person's body, and the man was too dead to die.
The man on the left saw the opportunity and slashed at it with his sword, and the knight, who had already attached the small shield on his left arm, raised his hand and blocked the trajectory of the opponent's knife.
"Click!"
Swords and shields struck each other, sparks flew in all directions, and the knight's hand was slashed low, but his right hand had succeeded in pulling his axe from the man's body.
The armor that connects the upper body to the waist of the lower body armor is made of an unknown material to create a black tie that fits the body and allows him to rotate his upper body very flexibly.
Without mercy, he made another axe, splitting a large crack in the man's head, and the red and white brains were faintly visible, and the latter fell down with a wail, but the knight did not realize it, but just shook the axe in his hand and moved forward again.
