Chapter 236: The Great Scuffle

The rattan armor soldiers lined up in a tight formation, protecting the large array impenetrable, and even if the Wei army rushed to the front of the formation, it would be difficult to hurt the Hong army behind the rattan brand.

Occasionally, someone would reach into a large knife or spear from between the two rattan plaques, trying to cut or stab the shield bearers behind the rattan tiles, only to find that these shield bearers were invulnerable rattan armor soldiers.

They can't hurt the Hong army behind the rattan cards, but the pikemen squatting behind the rattan armor soldiers will not be polite, once they find that there are Wei troops exposed in the gap between the rattan cards, they will not hesitate to raise their spears # and stab them and poke a hole in the enemy's body.

When the front of the formation was crowded with dense Wei troops, and the shield array was about to be unable to support it, the grenadiers behind were about to go out, and after they lit the thunderbolts, they waited for the fuse to burn almost and calculated the time before throwing them out.

The thunderbolt flew over the shield array and flew into the dense crowd of Wei troops in front, almost exploding on the ground, and definitely not giving people a chance to pick it up and throw it back. And these thunderbolts, which exploded in the dense crowd, harvested a large number of lives in an instant.

The Wei army suffered a large number of casualties in a short period of time, and it stands to reason that when the casualties reached a certain point, the general army would collapse, and the charging soldiers would turn back in fear. However, these Wei troops were the elite of Cao Ren's command that had been tested by a long period of fighting.

Their discipline and will to fight are definitely not under the Shu army, and even because they have repeatedly fought tough and dangerous battles with Cao Ren, their will to fight is stronger than that of the Hong army, which has always won battles and has no chance to experience the test of life and death.

In addition, they also know that today's situation is already a battle against the water, if they can't break through the obstruction of the Shu army and break out of this pocket-like terrain, their own side will definitely be dead and alive. So, even in the face of a huge casualty rate, they still rushed forward like crazy.

In this way, the front of the Hong army in some places is in danger, and the distribution of forces on both sides on the local battlefield is very uneven, and this distribution is random, and the strength of one regiment on the Hong army's side may face only one hundred and ten Wei troops, and the two rounds of guns will be cleaned up.

It may also be that a battalion of the Hong army has to face thousands of troops, under the impact of these crazy Wei troops, the phalanx of this battalion is like a leaf in the angry waves, even if their firepower is fierce, under the impact of countless armies regardless of life and death, they can no longer maintain the integrity of the formation.

And once their formation is broken, all that awaits them is to be knocked into the air, and then trampled into mud by countless feet. There were also some formations that were not broken through in the Rolling Man # stream, but they couldn't stop countless Wei soldiers from passing by their formation, and there was nothing they could do to see these Wei soldiers fleeing.

Relying on firearms troops alone is simply not enough to block a range of dozens of miles, so this time, in addition to the firearms units on the front line, the two divisions of rattan armor soldiers were also placed on the front line to block the fleeing Wei army.

The fighting methods of the rattan armor soldiers are still very monotonous and mechanical-they form a phalanx and slash and slash in unison. Although their killing efficiency is slightly inferior to that of firearms units, their casualty rate is actually smaller than that of firearms units.

The reason is because they have a set of invulnerable rattan armor, which greatly enhances their survival rate, and when the enemy rushes over, they can even give up resistance and resist the Wei army rushing over with all their might.

The first row is in front, the second row is behind the first row, and so on, row by row, the whole military formation is like countless steel balls squeezed together, you want to knock them and you can't knock them, hit them hard one by one, and soon the impact force will be eliminated.

As a result, the formation of the vine armor army was more difficult to break up than the formation of the firearms army. Even if they are occasionally scattered, their fate is completely different from that of the fire#spearmen.

If the fire # spearmen are scattered, it is good not to be knocked and fall, maybe they can be carried by the rebels and do not know how to rush there, once they fall, they are stepped on by two feet, usually they will be so painful that they can't stand up, as long as they delay for a while, countless feet will follow, and they will be trampled into meat sauce in an instant.

And the rattan armor soldiers benefit from the invulnerable rattan armor on their bodies, even if they fall, it is fine, the rattan armor on their bodies is very strong, and the rattan still has a certain elasticity, even if they are stepped on a few times, they will not feel much pain, and they can stand up quickly.

Even if you can't stand up for a while, as long as you protect your head and face, even if you trample on countless rebels, most of them can pick up a life.

Liu Hou has never fought such an aggrieved battle, the casualties are increasing sharply, he has to admire this Cao Ren, this is indeed a famous general in a hundred battles, his move is like a blind fist to kill the master, 300,000 troops are headless and brainless to rush to kill, so that the Hong army has to rush to the battle, there is no time to build a defensive position, and there is no time to reasonably dispatch the army.

Although most of the Wei soldiers were killed in front of the battle, a small number of them were able to escape. After a moment of confusion, the headquarters of the Hong army had calmed down, and immediately ordered the hot air balloons in the air to disperse to a line dozens of miles long to monitor the battle situation everywhere. Then, according to the battle situation in various places, reserve troops and horses are dispatched to critical places to act as firefighting teams.

This firefighting team was served by Zhu Bao's Fourth Division. Zhu Bao's Fourth Division, in addition to each soldier with a few thunderbolts, was basically a cold-weapon unit, considering that they were not only low in combat effectiveness, but also low in protection capabilities, Liu Hou did not put them on the front line at first, which meant to protect them.

But now seeing that the situation is not good, Liu Hou has to use the Fourth Division as a firefighter, and once the hot air balloon reports that there is a danger at that location, he immediately dispatches a team from the Fourth Division to rescue and rescue the disaster.

It's just that this rescue and disaster relief is not to block the real flood, but to intercept the rolling Wei soldiers# flow. The current Wei army is full of flood beasts, and the Hong army is a dike full of sieve eyes.

The yellow#colored Wei army flood continued to overflow some of the sieves of this dike, but most of the yellow# torrent was still stopped on the other side of the dike, and could no longer emerge.

The battle lasted from noon to evening, the soldiers on both sides were exhausted, and the Hong army ushered in the biggest test since the formation of the army, and it was also the day with the largest firepower output in a single day.

The barrels of many fire# guns have been overheated, some are so hot that the barrels are deformed, and even a small amount of bore explosions. In the end, many fire# gunners had to press their bayonets, turn into pikemen, and stab people with bayonets.

Because the war started in a hurry, the high-power lethal weapons of the Shu army could not be used, and the things equivalent to cannons such as Keqiu Kill and Angry Birds were not transported to the front line in time, and when they finally arrived, the war was nearing the end.
