Chapter 22 The Vine Armor Army is mighty

It is said that the two armies of Shu and Wu confronted each other, looking like they were going to fight a decisive battle. Ding Feng urgently transferred back the tower shield soldiers who had been transferred to encircle and suppress the airborne troops, and formed a shield wall in front of the formation.

The Eastern Wu army was afraid of the muskets of the Shu army, and never dared to confront the Shu army head-on, but used the three composite defense lines to defend passively.

Now, the three lines of defense were broken by the Shu army in a short period of time, and Ding Feng had no choice but to transfer back the only tower shield, trying to rely on the tower shield to resist stubbornly.

However, he seemed to have forgotten that not long ago, the Shu army's airborne troops easily broke through his tower shield wall with thunderbolts.

At this time, even a fool knew that he had fallen for the Shu army's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. It's just that this transfer of the tiger from the mountain is a bit different, strictly speaking, it should be called the transfer of the tiger to the mountain, because it is to transfer people to the camp, not to transfer people out of the camp.

However, the two have one thing in common, that is, some special units will be transferred from the pre-arranged defensive positions of the Soochow Army.

Ding Feng now regrets that his intestines are blue, he knew that he would not transfer a large number of archers, he would not have transferred the tower shield soldiers in this way, he would have known that he would not remove the bed crossbow in this way, and he would have known that he would not have ......

But there are so many people in the world who know about it early. Ding Feng felt that he was the stupid X who destroyed the Great Wall in the legend, and was played around by more than 20 Shu troops, drawing away the defensive forces of the front line little by little, so that the Shu army had an opportunity to take advantage of.

In the scene, the Shu army didn't give him a chance to think and regret at all, they quickly formed an offensive formation, and regardless of whether the Eastern Wu army was ready, they pushed forward on their own.

The Shu army took the lead this time with three rows of rattan armor soldiers, and the musketeers followed behind, but now the musketeers carried their guns behind their backs, each holding a torch in their hands, and each of the thunderbolts held one in their hands, and several were hung around their waists.

Because he saw that the Eastern Wu army displayed the tower shield in front again, Liu Hou knew that using muskets would not be effective for them, so he changed the muskets to thunderbolts.

Ding Feng is not a stupid person, although he was blocked by the vine armor soldiers in front of him, and he didn't see the terrible things that the Shu army could explode, but he guessed that the Shu army would definitely use these things to break their own tower shield wall.

Therefore, Ding Feng immediately ordered the archers who had just returned from the position of encirclement and suppression of the airborne troops to immediately release arrows and rockets. The dense rain of arrows suddenly poured down like a waterfall towards the approaching Shu army.

If the Soochow Army released ordinary bows and arrows, the vine armor soldiers would not pay attention to it at all, but now that the Soochow Army is releasing rockets, it will be a bit troublesome.

Although the rattan armor on the rattan armor has been fireproofed, it is difficult to burn, but it is nailed to the body with more than a dozen or even dozens of arrows on fire, and the smoke and fire are not comfortable, especially those arrows with fire oil, which are difficult to extinguish for a while.

However, this is only a little troublesome for the vine armor soldiers, and there is not much danger. The rattan soldiers pulled out the rockets stuck in their bodies with their hands, or cut off the burning parts with their knives, threw them on the ground, and then stepped on them, and after several rows of soldiers stepped on them, the rockets were usually trampled on.

There are also some who are good at holding their own knives, waving the long knives in their hands and directly hitting the arrows to the ground. Occasionally, these people would be hit by a few arrows, and they would do as they did, so long as they pulled out or cut off the arrows in time, there was no danger.

Compared to these invulnerable and invulnerable vine armor monsters, the musketeers who followed behind were much more wolfless, and more than a dozen of them were shot in the first wave of arrows. Liu Hou saw that the situation was not good, and immediately ordered them to withdraw, it seems that this battle is nothing for them.

Liu Hou ordered another group of rattan armor soldiers to replace the unprotected musketeers with thunderbolts and torches, and ran up to follow the three rows of vine armor soldiers who were about to cut people in front.

Soon, the vine armor soldiers advanced to a place only ten steps away from the Dongwu shield wall, and the front line commander gave an order, and the drum beat changed, and the vine armor soldiers stopped advancing. The people of Dongwu were stunned for a while when they saw that these monsters who were not even afraid of rockets were already close in front of them.

Ding Feng was not stunned, he was worthy of being a veteran of the battlefield, he was extremely experienced in dealing with the enemy, and he knew what was going to happen as soon as he saw the posture of the Shu army. He yelled and ordered the tower shield men to retreat immediately.

The tower shield soldiers from generals to ordinary soldiers were stunned for a moment, not understanding this order, after all, the enemy was already approaching, and it was the time for them to fight hard, and many people had begun to take a deep breath, mentally prepared, ready to resist the impact of the storm at any time.

However, as well-trained soldiers, obedience to orders is the first requirement, whether they understand it or not, they must carry it out, so some of the tower shield soldiers who reacted quickly began to retreat, but most of them were still late to react.

I saw countless black iron balls flying out of the back row of the Shu army, passing over the three rows of rattan armor soldiers, flying straight to the Dongwu camp ten steps away, and then crossing the shield wall, and landing in the group of archers behind the tower shield soldiers.

Not surprisingly, with a rumbling sound and countless clouds of black smoke rising up, the shield wall was blown to pieces, and the group of archers behind them also suffered heavy casualties.

"Woo......" The horn of the charge sounded in the Shu army, and the vine armor soldiers in the front three rows shouted: "Kill!" Then rows and rows rushed over neatly, and the three rows of vine armor soldiers slapped fiercely at the front of the messy front of the Eastern Wu Army like three stacked waves.

Ding Feng was not an easy person, and with his order, the tower shield soldiers and archers who could still move retreated to both sides like a tide. Due to the hasty retreat, many tower shield soldiers had to throw the heavy tower shield on the spot and flee empty-handed. As for those who are injured and unable to walk, they can only stay where they are, waiting for the fate of being trampled into meat sauce by the army.

As these non-melee units retreated, rows of pikemen poured out of the Soochow rear army, and the two armies quickly encountered, but before they could do so, both sides trampled to death countless wounded Dongwu tower shields and archers.

As soon as the Eastern Wu pikemen came up, they pierced the rattan armor soldiers with their spears. Of course, it was impossible for these spears to pierce the rattan armor on the rattan armor soldiers, except for a few unlucky ones who were pierced in the eyes, most of the vine armor soldiers continued to rush forward with their spears. With the combined force of both sides, many of the spears were crushed and bowed.

Using a long weapon to restrict the approach of the vine armor soldiers, and then looking for their weaknesses to slash and kill this trick Liu Hou has used, and the effect is very good, and it can indeed restrain the vine armor army. Obviously, now Ding Feng also wants to use this trick.

However, his usage is very different from Liu Hou's, to be precise, it is far from the same, and the effect is naturally very different.

First of all, Ding Feng used a spear with only one spear head, that is, there was only a small point of contact between the weapon and the rattan armor of the rattan armor army. This makes it easy to slip and cannot effectively fix the rattan armor. As long as the rattan armor soldier turns on one side, the spear head poked on his body will slide past him, and they can go around the spear head and continue to advance, slashing and slashing the enemy.

The tools that the Shu army used to restrain the rattan armor soldiers (those steel forks were more like tools than weapons) were two-toothed forks made with reference to the anti-riot steel forks of later generations, and the distance between the two forks was very large, just enough to stop a person and confine him inside, so that he could not move.

The biggest difference between the spears of the Eastern Wu army and the steel forks used by the Shu army is that the spears are made of wooden poles, while the handles of steel forks are made of steel. The former can be cut off by the vine armor soldier with a single sword, and the latter is not inferior to Zhang Wuji's skill unless he is holding the Yitian Sword or the Dragon Slaying Knife, otherwise he can't shake it in the slightest.

The third difference is that after the Shu army temporarily immobilizes the rattan armor soldiers, they will immediately dispatch short knives to cut the feet of the vine armor soldiers or poke their eyes, which is the only part of the vine armor soldiers' body that is exposed. The Steel Fork and the Short Knife must work together to seize the fleeting opportunity in order for the strike to be effective.

It's a pity that the Dongwu Army does not have these three conditions, which is also destined for them to be helpless against the Vine Armor Army, in front of the Vine Armor Army, they are only a little better than the lamb to be slaughtered, that is, the lamb to be slaughtered across a long pole.

I saw that the rattan armor army in the front row was put on the head of the spear and gun of the Eastern Wu army, and most of the rattan armor soldiers shouted "Kill!" They then raised their knives above their heads and slashed the barrel with their signature diagonal slash.

A small number of rattan armor soldiers were troublesome, turned on one side, let the spear stabbed at them pass by their side, took two steps by themselves, rushed straight to the spear-wielding pikemen from the barrel of the gun, and raised their knives directly at the pikemen. This part of the people belong to the type of people with higher martial arts and quick eyes, and they are too lazy to slash a knife, so they want to directly slash at the pikemen and end the battle in one go.

The slashed Dongwu pikeman had no time to withdraw the spear in his hand, so he could only watch the bright big knife slash at his neck, and some people made a reflexive reaction in a hurry, that is, to retreat.

However, the back was crowded with their own people, and these own people not only did not save themselves at this time, but pushed themselves forward and sent themselves to the knife.

He also squatted down to the ground a little smartly, trying to avoid this fatal knife. However, they could avoid the first sword, and they couldn't avoid the second knife that the vine armor soldiers made adjustments. In the end, without exception, they all became the souls of the vine armor soldiers.

Those rattan armor soldiers who first cut the barrel of the spear, after cutting the barrel of the spear, took a step forward, then split, and then broke the barrel, because at this time, the Eastern Wu pikemen usually naturally raised the half of the spear in their hands to block.

When this half of the spear was broken again, they had no basis in their hands, and the rattan armor soldiers took another step forward, and then split the knife, this time, there were no more variables, and the sound of "click" and "click" continued to sound, and countless heads flew up and fell all over the ground.

Countless blood fountains gushed out, and the scene was terrifying. Although the Eastern Wu soldiers in the back were frightened and trembled, there were no shortage of recruits in the Shu army who had never seen blood, and at this time, they were also shocked by the scene in front of them, and even some of them simply held their knees and vomited.

Although Liu Hou is far away in the rear, he can still see the situation clearly with a telescope, although he has experienced many battles with the army and seen countless bloody scenes, but he is still a little uncomfortable with these scenes, so he simply put down the telescope and temporarily did not look at the battlefield situation that he has been paying attention to.

The vine armor army pushed all the way over, and the momentum was unstoppable, and the most wrong thing Ding Feng did was to transfer the bed crossbow, which was very time-consuming to reassemble. At this time, without this only divine weapon that could pose a threat to the vine armor army, the vine armor army was like entering a no-man's land, they just went forward to slash and smash the people and things in front of them, and they didn't need to worry about their own safety at all.

When the first row is tired of chopping, change to the second row and continue to chop, and when the second row is tired, change to the third row, and then turn to the first row again. In such a rotation, the three rows of rattan armor soldiers kept pushing forward, like a never-tireless, never-ending killing machine, everywhere they passed, there were broken arms and stumps, and human heads were rolling.
