Chapter 197: Fighting in the Mountains
With the power of the rhythm, it is not enough to break through the hundred-foot sword tower.
But the hundred-foot sword tower, which was completely contained, had lost its significance.
The Divine Temple infantry roared like thunder, swooping towards the Shenxiao infantry like a tide.
More gunners stood on towering watchtowers, barrels spewing fiery tongues of fire that lit up a snarling smoke and a choking smell in the enemy line.
Condescending, like splitting bamboo. The slope limits the lethality of the Shenxiao strong archers, and also puts the Shenxiao army at an overall disadvantage in infantry combat.
The narrow mountain road makes it difficult for the Shenxiao Army to exert its numerical advantage, and it is also difficult to use large-scale weapons such as iron container cars and giant crossbows.
"It was blocked. His Holiness Li Yanhong was unwilling.
Gu Taineng sighed, ordered the state of the sword tower to be lifted, and returned to the formation with King Li Yanhong, Zen Master Shi Yongxing and others, and led the soldiers to charge.
However, the Shentang military formation is as solid as iron, and the powerful power of the formation is enough to resist the impact of ordinary masters, so that ordinary soldiers are not suppressed by the field of the opponent's masters, and they are even more counterattacked with the power of the formation.
A peerless formation like a hundred-foot sword tower can ignore the power of the formation and directly cut through the enemy's formation, which is its strength. But since the enemy has found a way to restrain it, there is no way to use it.
The armies of both sides maintained a situation of advancing and retreating. Swords and guns are staggered, short-handed soldiers are connected, and the sharp sound continues to follow the scattered golden drums, playing an eternal song of killing.
This battlefield full of blood and death is terrifying, but also exciting.
The battle lasted for dozens of rounds, and the Shenxiao Army was never able to find any breakthrough point from the front of the Divine Hall, and the geographical disadvantage made them have greater physical exertion, and the situation was obviously unfavorable.
"Storm! We have the advantage of numbers, take turns to attack, consume the enemy's physical strength, and we will be able to destroy the enemy's position. ”
Gu Taineng rode a tall horse the size of a small elephant, loudly boosting morale.
The general Gu Taineng has always been served by the soldiers, and his reputation in the army is even higher than that of Zen Master Xuezhai, and with his order, the Shenxiao soldiers who have lost their fighting spirit are once again boosted their fighting spirit.
But at this moment, it was not only the iron cannon bullets fired from the high watchtower, but also the huge boulder the size of a grinding disc broke through the wind and made a loud rumbling sound, smashing into the array of the Shenxiao Army, breaking tendons and breaking bones, and smearing blood on the ground.
Such a large boulder will also affect the order of the Shenxiao Army's array, as well as the normal advance and retreat of the soldiers.
The Shentang side seized the North Mountain in advance, and there was enough time for them to set up heavy weapons such as trebuchets and giant crossbows in the camp.
Gu Taineng gritted his teeth faintly.
His eyes suddenly became blazing, and a domineering momentum radiated from him.
Gu Taineng shouted violently, like a thunderbolt, and the heavens and the earth shook.
The soldiers also followed suit, their eyes like torches, and their strength was like a mountain.
The flag-bearers in the formation danced the battle flags one after another, and the drummers slammed the war drums, and the drums flew one after another, making the battle spirit of the whole army more condensed, like an ancient magic mountain, crushing down the enemy's army.
In this part, the Shenxiao Army turned into a thick and sharp fish scale array, smashing towards the middle palace of Su Can's department like a huge battering ram.
The Shenxiao soldiers laughed wildly, and their spears roared like the sea, striking towards the shield array in front of Su Can's department.
Advanced Infantry Tactics - Sweeping Thousands of Troops.
Swords and guns sweep fiercely, and the cycle repeats, like a hurricane that never stops. The attacks of the Shenxiao Army came and went, and every soldier was shrouded in the wind of war spirit, as if he had turned into the god of the north wind, sweeping away everything.
One giant shield after another was swept into the air, and the sergeants of the Divine Hall were not hit by the weapon at all, and their bones were inexplicably shattered under the majestic pressure, and even the armor turned into meat cakes.
Some people also began to scream inexplicably, vomiting blood.
The method of sweeping thousands of troops can not only cause great damage, but also may cause blood loss to the enemy's soldiers. After being affected by the method of warfare, there is a certain chance that blood loss will begin, and in severe cases, they will die of injuries after dozens of breaths.
"General Gu!"
"The great general is mighty, like the Heavenly Venerable descending into the world!"
"Divine Hall thieves, killing them is like cutting grass!"
The Shenxiao soldiers cheered endlessly, boosting each other's morale.
"It's another trick. ”
Su Can saw the frightened faces of the soldiers in front of him, but his eyes were calm and he said softly.
With a wave of his hand, a solid force emanated from around him.
The Shentang Army's formation, which was already trembling like dead grass in the wind, was re-stabilized by this force.
On the top of each soldier's head, there was a faint black gas.
But it is not the black qi of death, but the condensation of war qi.
The giant shields on each side condensed silently, providing extremely effective life protection for the soldiers of the temple.
Different from the astonishing momentum of the "sweeping thousands of armies" tactics, the "shield royal" tactics appear very quiet, but very practical.
The surging spear storm was like a terrifying wave, and in front of the black shield array in the sky, it quickly disintegrated and disappeared.
It's like the angry tide of Qiantang hitting a solid breakwater, and it can only be blown into snow-colored waves.
Dozens of people were still killed, but the battle line remained firm and stable, and the borders were clearly visible.
Under Su Can's precise command, the gap was quickly filled, and the heroic soldiers rushed forward on the corpses of their comrades, leaving the Shenxiao Army with no chance to take advantage of it.
Zuo Chengzheng, who commanded the iron artillery troops on the flank, nodded secretly.
He knew it was time.
The enemy's tactics were futile, and morale was weak.
Zuo Chengzheng's eyes were scorching, like a whistling moon wolf ready to go!
The facial features are like those chiseled by an axe, but they seem more and more serious and rigid.
With his order, Ling Yun's murderous aura emanated from the body of each iron gunner and rushed straight to the sky.
The battle qi condensed in the air and turned into a big star, the light was like fire, blazing and dazzling.
is for the "Great Mars".
The soldiers held the iron cannons in unison, and under the light of the superstar, thousands of guns fired in unison, and the sound of pecking opened a long snake-like line of fire in the enemy formation.
The raging flames spread out as the bullet hit or landed, and it took a few breaths before it was extinguished.
And these few breaths of flame have already caused the Shenxiao Army to scream miserably.
It was as if there was an invisible asphalt ditch underground, ignited in an instant, and a relentless fire poured out of hell and devoured all life nearby!
The aroma of barbecue and the smell of burnt meat emanated in the formation of the Shenxiao Army, which was terrifying.
Advanced Iron Cannon Combat Method, July Flowing Fire, shows its power for the first time!
There are no collateral effects such as "panic" and "bleeding", but this is the most direct damage, and it is enough to make the victim frightened.
Dozens of people were completely roasted and died in horrible shape, and more than a hundred others were burned.
The total number of iron artillery troops of the Shentang Army is less than 1,000 people, and such a result is brilliant.
"It's a pity that the accuracy of the smoothbore gun is too low, and if the whole army can be equipped with rifled guns, the lethality can be increased by another three times. ”
Zuo Chengzheng muttered to himself.
But now it is powerful enough to make all viewers look sideways.
Su Can showed joy, while Yun Shui silently assessed how this tactic should be restrained if he wanted to fight Zuo Chengzheng.
Gu Taineng let out a long sigh.
He knew he couldn't fight anymore.
Even if it is difficult for Zuo Chengzheng to launch another tactic today, now the soldiers are tired from fighting for a long time and have lost their fighting spirit.
The Shentang army controlled the geographical advantage, and it completely offset the numerical advantage of the Shenxiao side.
The plan to defeat the main force of the temple in World War I fell through.
"Withdraw!" Gu Taineng ordered in a loud voice.
A series of scorching blades of cold light rose from the ground again.
The hundred-foot sword tower was re-erected and used for the back of the palace.
This formation is now insufficient in attack, but there is more than enough after the break.
In the absence of masters, Su Can really didn't dare to pursue the enemy with all his might.
Once the formation is elongated in the process of pursuit, the power of the formation dissipates, and the Shenxiao Army counterattacks, the result will be unimaginable.
The advantage of arranging on the mountain or by the water is that there is an advantage to the terrain, but the disadvantage is that once the army is defeated, there is no way to retreat, and under the trampling of each other, more than half of the casualties are often killed.
The first round of confrontation between the two sides ended with the Shenxiao Army throwing behind more than 400 corpses of soldiers.
On the other hand, the temple only killed more than 200 people.
Su Can's expression was beaming, and he ordered the militia to repair the camp and clean up the battlefield.
At this time, a message came from the rear camp.
