At this time, Gortle's heart can be said to be extremely annoyed, because he knew very well that his actions had completely failed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Gottel, who was pushing aside the arrows from time to time, couldn't help but wonder when he had exposed some details that eventually led to such a situation.

But Gortle thought about it for a long time, and he didn't think about what it was.

Naturally, he had no way of knowing that this operation had something to do with the legendary rather young monarch of the Great Qin Empire.

If it weren't for Zhang Jiashi's reminder, I'm afraid that Gottle's operation would indeed have a great chance of success. Of course, even if he succeeds in seizing the city gate and making the city gate of Cloud City unable to close, it does not mean that the Huns will be able to achieve the final victory in this raid plan.

Because the current Cloud City is not an ordinary city of the Great Qin Empire, but under the corresponding mobilization of Zhang Jiashi, it has become a large granary and a large military camp with more than 10,000 people.

Although the city in the future was breached by the Huns many times, this situation is largely based on the fact that the city in the clouds was just an ordinary county town at that time, with a garrison of about 5,000 people at most, and there were many civilian places to live, and it was impossible to build more military defense facilities in such a city.

And the current Cloud City, although it is a military camp-level city, but in some streets and buildings, there are even connected underground passages, and these underground passages have two functions. One is to store a large amount of grain, while the other is to hide the troops.

It can be said that one-third of the current garrison of Cloudsdale is hidden in these underground passages. And the very abundant food and grass can even allow Cloudsdale to hold on to it for more than three months after being besieged by Tuantuan.

In fact, if the Huns had launched a fierce attack on Yunzhong City, they might have held out longer, because the dead officers and soldiers could be regarded as saving the corresponding food consumption.

Gotel did not expect this series of changes in this aspect, or the Huns, so to speak, in a sense, Gotel did not lose this time, and it can even be said that even if he dies now, it is estimated that no one will take care of his grievances.

......

Gottel, as well as the surviving personnel in the passage of the city gate, did not think about evacuating the place backwards. It's just that the surviving disguisers who poured in from the outside also blocked their original retreat in a sense.

Many people are in a dilemma, but for them, the inside of the gate passage is safer.

Because they were almost flat arrowheads, they rarely hit their bodies as long as they crouched next to the grain trucks.

Of course, under the intensive arrow shooting, there was no shortage of some unlucky people who screamed, fell to the ground and groaned and screamed in pain, and even some people were directly pierced through the head by the arrows, and they didn't even make a sound of pain, they became corpses.

What these people didn't know was that these arrows were a small matter for them, because the heavy infantry units of the Qin army, which were about to move later, under the leadership of Jing You, would carry out a one-sided slaughter against them.

......

The disguisers on the periphery of the city walls either rushed into the passage of the city gate or hid under the grain trucks.

It was difficult for the crossbowmen on the walls to shoot through the sandbags piled up with unknown loads, let alone injure the men hiding under the wagons. With the exception of a few crossbowmen who were able to shoot arrows into the bottom of the carriage in an oblique manner, the vast majority of crossbowmen were only able to target other people.

In less than two minutes, there was basically no one standing on the periphery of the city wall, except for a number of corpses that had fallen.

Because some of the people who hid under the corners of the walls were not able to escape their doom, because there were also many crossbowmen in some of the protruding positions of the city walls. These crossbowmen are used to deal with the people who are hiding under the corners, and they can shoot at them depending on their position.

It wasn't long before these people were also corpses, or seriously wounded people who fell to the ground with a few arrows stuck in their bodies, and they were out of breath and out of breath......

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

After the crossbowmen under Zhang Wu fired three rounds of arrows, Jing You saw that the crossbowmen had stopped their movements, and he quickly signaled to one of his generals on the opposite side, asking him to take the lead in forming a small military formation and breaking into the passage of the city gate to attack the remaining Huns.

In fact, Jing You's order said so, but this hundred generals actually knew very well that the meaning of Jing You's expression was far more than this, that is, Jing You ordered him to directly remove the personnel or obstacles inside.

After all, there were wagons transporting grain, and a small and well-organized army formation could not push it through.

After receiving this order, the hundred generals gave corresponding instructions to his subordinates behind him, and a commander quickly took his officers and soldiers under his command, covered his body with a shield, and then blocked the other end of the city gate passage with a heavy infantry shield array.

After observing for a while, the chief said to a few people next to him: "Form a two-person formation and slowly advance, and the people behind will clear the obstacles." ”

Those who heard these words nodded, and some of them prepared thick ropes, because some of the animals in the carriages had been shot, and these carriages did not move on their own, but could only be pulled by the people behind them.

The six heavy infantry of the Qin army lined up in three columns one after the other and entered the passage, the front personnel were responsible for resisting the attack in front, and the rear personnel were covering in the rear.

The distance between the passage of the city gate is not very long, and it is about ten meters before and after, because this is the design under the city gate tower, which is far longer than the width of the city wall.

But at a distance of about ten meters, the soldiers of the Qin army in front did not rush forward, but put their shields in front of their bodies while observing the situation in front of them from the side.

If he sees a living Hun, he will give the other party another blow after estimating it.

But these Qin officers and soldiers ignored the threat under the carriage in previous years.

A Hun stabbed the long sword in his hand into the thigh of a Qin soldier, the Qin soldier was in pain, and after subconsciously losing his balance, he slashed the glaive knife in his hand at the head of the Hun he also saw.

Before the Hun could react and make his next move, he felt a sharp pain in the bones of his head, and then his consciousness fell into eternal darkness.

After the Qin officers and soldiers in the back saw this scene, the two Qin soldiers quickly rushed over, and together with the Qin soldier who was originally behind, dragged the injured robe to the side of the shield array, and then called for the arrival of the medical worker.

After knowing this, Jing You's brows furrowed slightly, and he quickly asked a soldier to communicate with Zhang Wu, and seconded a few crossbowmen to clean up the Huns hiding at the bottom of the carriage.

Zhang Wu didn't say anything after learning about this situation, and ordered a chief to lead his crossbowmen to assist Jing You's request.

For Zhang Wu, although this operation has changed a lot, no matter how much trouble occurs, and this kind of assistance is considered a normal category, he will naturally not be difficult. After all, if Jing You reported this matter to Yang Wengzi, he would at least be reprimanded.

Ten Qin crossbowmen stood behind the officers and soldiers who were either half-kneeling on the ground or half-kneeling, and they quickly aimed their crossbows at the position below the carriage.

And because of the existence of many obstacles, these Qin crossbowmen could not see the situation behind the second row of carriages, and the commander could only say loudly: "You move forward slowly, and then gradually clean up these carriages, we can't see the situation behind." ”

In fact, there is another problem with the situation mentioned by the chief, that is, some Huns or slaves overturned the sacks on the carriage while hiding under the wagon, and these sacks also formed a visual obstacle to these crossbowmen.

Therefore, the gradual cleaning of the carriages is also the best way at the moment.

......

And after the first row of carriages was towed out, the Qin officers and soldiers who were in charge of cleaning up the Huns advanced again.

But what these Qin officers and soldiers didn't expect was that behind the second row of carriages, there were actually a few Huns hiding.

After seeing these Qin officers and soldiers coming, they knew that they could no longer hide, so they brandished the weapons in their hands and attacked these Qin officers and soldiers.

"Qiang"

Several metal clashing sounds sounded, and the attacks of these Huns were basically blocked by shields.

But then before the Huns, whose wrists were numbed, could react next, their bodies were stabbed into the cold tip of the knife.

Because after knowing that he might face the sudden uprising of the Huns, the Qin officers and soldiers in front of him directly held the top of the hilt, so that although they could not use the Glaive Knife very effectively, they could also use the Medium-handled Glaive Knife as a short knife.

After parrying the weapons in front of them, they quickly stabbed the tip of the Glaive in their hands into the bodies of these Huns.

After a few screams and a few more sounds of metal intersecting, the Huns were largely killed.

And behind the third row of carriages, Gottle, who quietly stretched out his head to see this scene, couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in his heart. Because he never thought that the way he thought of fighting to the death would be so powerless. Even the desperate tribal warriors didn't seem to have killed a single Qin person.

This situation completely overturned his combat cognition. Because according to his understanding, this way can also pull a few pads.

Perhaps Gortle should have understood that a light infantry head-on confrontation had little chance of winning against a better-equipped heavy infantry.

......

Heavy infantry, also known as hoplite, generally refers to the heavy infantry during the cold weapon war, which is basically equipped with sophisticated protective gear and changeable tactics, and is the backbone of the cold weapon battlefield.

Later generations believed that heavy infantry could be roughly divided into three types according to the difference in equipment:

1. General hoplite with shields and one-handed weapons, which are relatively adaptable to the battlefield and have a wide range of uses.

2. Assault infantry with powerful two-handed weapons such as swords and axes, which have a powerful impact and often crush weak enemy forces in one fell swoop.

3. Lance-based spear and super-long spear-based spear infantry, this kind of infantry generally forms a phalanx group to fight, and has high requirements for training, which is a very considerable type of group combat effectiveness, and is the most powerful force for infantry against cavalry, and is an important component of the army of the Mediterranean civilization circle in ancient Greece and Rome.

The heavy infantry system trained by Zhang Jiashi happened to be the shield-mounted heavy infantry with the widest combat range.

Of course, although heavy infantry is a very important system of cold weapon warfare, its advantages and disadvantages are obvious:

Advantages: heavy infantry on the quality of soldiers, equipment performance generally have higher requirements, for the elite force of the infantry, regardless of siege, field can have an outstanding play, in the Middle Ages Europe, many knights on the horse for the heavy cavalry, dismounted for the heavy infantry, is a rare valuable combat force.

Disadvantages: Heavy armor will lead to a decrease in movement speed and an increase in physical consumption, making it unsuitable for pursuit, reconnaissance, harassment and other tasks, and it is difficult to exit the battlefield in time when defeated. It is still in a passive position in the battle against the cavalry, and the requirements for the group are quite high, and if the group advantage is lost, it will inevitably suffer a fatal blow.

And Zhang Jiashi's shield-mounted heavy infantry is actually a simplified form of heavy infantry in the Song Dynasty that is convenient for mass production of equipment.

The Song heavy infantry was the best equipped heavy infantry, weighing only 15 kilograms in the Song dynasty and 20 kilograms in the 15th century in Gothic full-body armor. Although the heaviest armor in the 17th century reached 42 kg, the average heavy three-quarter armor was only in the range of 20-30 kg. In terms of weight, the infantry armor of the Song Dynasty was the heaviest armor in Chinese history, and according to the "General Essentials of the Wujing", the Northern Song Dynasty Buren armor was made of iron armor leaves with leather strips or nails, which is a typical piece of armor. Its protection range includes the whole body, and in terms of protection range, it is the closest to the Chinese armor of European heavy armor, but it has not reached the impermeable level of protection of European heavy armor.

According to the regulations of the fourth year of Song Shaoxing (1134), the Buren armor is composed of 1825 armor leaves, with a total weight of 29kg, and the protection can be improved by increasing the number of armor leaves, but the weight will increase further. For this reason, the emperor personally ordered that the infantry armor should be limited to 29.8kg.

Later, the weight of the armor of the pikeman was set at the weight of the archer and the armor of the crossbow shooter due to the fact that the archers were often involved in melee combat. At the same time, the type of armor of the European infantry cavalry was mainly chain mail, which did not reach such a weight.

In the face of this kind of weight and production difficulty that is much higher than the current mainstream tandem armor, which is actually meaningless, Zhang Jiashi chose a new type of armor that simplifies the armor and retains the weapon.

Because the weapons of the heavy infantry of the Song army were mainly knives and axes:

At the same time, in order to make the armor more effective against the needs of cavalry, the Song Dynasty also produced a large number of various broadswords. Especially in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, broadswords and axes became important equipment for armored infantry (heavy infantry). For example, in the 1140th year of Shaoxing in the tenth year of Song Gaozong Shaoxing, in the battle of Yuncheng between the Song army and the Jin soldiers, the Song general Yue Fei put the armored infantry equipped with broadswords and axes into a position on both wings, effectively preventing the attack of the Jin soldiers' armored cavalry. At that time, the basic tactics of using broadswords to deal with armored cavalry attacks were to first use broadswords to chop the legs of horses with relatively weak defenses, and then to slash at the **** of cavalry.
