Chapter 361: Folding

"Hurry, hurry! The front array team, the back ones hurry up and keep up! ”

"Take the weapon, don't panic, the people of Nantianzhu are almost the same as the little dwarf who died of Sri Buddha! Don't panic, just fight as before! ”

Shang Shengmao and Huang Sheng shouted to the soldiers of the Yizhou garrison division who were rushing to the beach, in order to gain time for landing, they landed from the other side of the Pearl Harbor.

Therefore, Shang Shengmao and Huang Sheng must all land and line up to meet the enemy before the infantry army of Nantianzhu comes here, and the combat experience of the Yizhou garrison division is still too little, even if they have just experienced the battle with the death of Sri Buddha in Nanyang, but if they are not careful, they are likely to be a fiasco.

"Brother Shang, we are still a little inexperienced this time, you are now here to organize the brothers to follow, I will go to the front to organize the formation of the group first!" Seeing that Nan Tianzhu's infantry was getting closer and closer to the seaside, but the soldiers of the Yizhou garrison division who had landed were still in a mess, Huang Sheng saw that it was not a solution, and immediately suggested to Shang Shengmao.

Huang Sheng and Shang Shengmao are both refugees from the north who fled from Nanchen, so their friendship in Yizhou over the years is also very good, although both of them are at the level of accompanying the captain, but Huang Sheng still has great respect for this big brother who is already in his forties, and they are all brothers.

"Ah Sheng, you have to be careful!" Shang Shengmao couldn't help frowning when he looked at the chaotic soldiers on the shore, when he besieged Sri Buddha and died, in addition to his own army, he also had the Nanyang garrison led by Zhou Qiang, so he had an advantage in terms of troops.

These soldiers of the Yizhou garrison division under his command can still fight a tailwind battle with the large army, but now when the Yizhou garrison alone can afford such a battle, the problem of insufficient experience in the battle formation has leaked out.

Shang Shengmao watched Huang Sheng promise to trot towards the team on the shore, and then turned his head to look at the more than 2,000 soldiers of the Yizhou Garrison Division who were still struggling to land in the shallows, many soldiers were wearing only shorts at this time, shirtless, with their weapons on their waists and backs, and their hands holding armor.

Although the Yizhou garrison division is only a second-class unit in the East China Sea, Wang Ze has never made any difference in terms of weapons and armor, even if it lacks a lot of large-scale siege equipment, but it is the same equipment as other first-class troops in terms of light weapons and leather armor.

The best horizontal knives and rib forks produced in Sword Casting City, short crossbows with a range of less than thirty paces, everyone has a good leather armor made of yellow cowhide or deerskin, and cowhide boots are enough to defend against the bite of any tropical poisonous insects, and this time in order to protect against the sun in the tropics, each person also has a wide-brimmed hat.

With these equipment, the Yizhou garrison division, if it is just a comparison of weapons, it is not at all comparable to the Nantianzhu people, the only drawback is that the weather here in the Pearl Islands is too hot for many soldiers to adapt to, when they set off from Nanyang Sabang before, many soldiers only wore shorts in order to escape the heat.

When they arrived at the Pearl Islands, they put on their armor when they were preparing for battle after landing, and Shang Shengmao would stand in the hot sun in iron-clad armor, and a wave of heat hit, and he felt that his whole body was about to be roasted.

That is, the Han people who grew up in Nanchen since they were children can still adapt to this tropical hot climate, if the Han soldiers who grew up in the land of Sanqi wear such armor to fight in the Pearl Islands, I am afraid that they have already suffered from heat stroke and passed out at this time.

Even if Shang Shengmao and the others had already adapted to the hot tropical climate in Yizhou, they could still feel that the climate here in the Pearl Islands was even hotter than that in Yizhou, but all this could not stop him from setting up his will to defeat the Nantianzhu infantry army.

Thinking of this, Shang Shengmao shouted: "Brothers, some people say that our Yizhou garrison division is a soft egg that can only fight with the wind, and some people even say that we are pure decorations of the vase army, do you want to be called like this?" ”

"I don't want to!"

"Let them know that our Yizhou garrison division is not a soft persimmon!"

Hearing Shang Shengmao's shout, the soldiers who were rushing to the beach also roared angrily, although they also knew that they were definitely not as good as the A Seed Master in the land of Beji, but if they were called soft eggs, it would also make them extremely unconvinced, although they had not fought any battles over the years, they were also fighting with the Gaoshan tribes all day long in Yizhou.

When the soldiers came ashore, they roughly dried the water from their bodies and put on their armor, and some soldiers would help each other to put on their leather armor because of their different styles.

Fortunately, their training was very strict in the past, and they had some experience in fighting in the death of Sri Buddha, so these soldiers were still relatively calm, but at this time, Huang Sheng on the shore in the distance was already organizing a team there to meet the Nantianzhu infantry army that was about to rush over. 518 Chinese Net

This Nantianzhu infantry army is not the inland garrison army that was stationed in Inpo City before, but the elite army that Nan Tianzhu specially transferred from the northern border.

Although most of these Nantianzhu people are not tall, because of the perennial battles with various countries in these years, especially the large-scale attack on Nantianzhu by the gradually stronger Shalouqi people, these Nantianzhu people have also become much better at fighting.

However, this time, when the Nantian Zhu infantry army fought against the Xia army, it actually suffered losses in many aspects.

First of all, let's not talk about the difference in height, even the height of the Central Plains Hanmin at this time is much taller than that of the Nantianzhu people, not to mention that these soldiers of the East China Sea Xia Kingdom are much more than the Central Plains Hanmin.

And the weapons of the Southern Tianzhu Infantry Army alone are far inferior to the Xia Army, although Tianzhu has the famous Uzi Treasure Knife in later generations, but that is only because the North Tianzhu is rich in iron ore of the Uz Treasure Knife, and the Uz Treasure Knife is also made by the Arabs in Damascus, and it has nothing to do with the Tianzhu people.

In addition, when attacking the Pearl Islands, because it was only a battle to seize the islands, the Nantianzhu infantry army did not have any elephant army at all, so the Nantianzhu infantry army suffered very much in all aspects, but all this did not shake the fighting will of the Nantianzhu infantry army.

"The sword and shield soldiers are in front, and the pikemen are shooting!" Huang Sheng stared at Nantian Zhu's infantry army, who was already less than three hundred meters away from him, and ordered, "The grenadiers have seen the thunderbolt in your hands clearly, whether the lead is long enough, and the brazier is ready!" ”

Immediately, a veteran junior officer came to check it out, after all, if any of them nervously threw thunderbolts into their robes during the battle formation, it would be a lot of fun, even if these thunderbolts were still filled with the original old-fashioned gunpowder, the power was not small.

"Lord Captain, do we want to strictly prevent the Nantianzhu people from using bows and arrows, they are only two hundred steps away from us!" An lieutenant of Xuanjie beside Huang Sheng suggested, "Do you want the brothers to shoot in front of the short crossbow first?" ”

"No, after all, our brothers' combat experience is still a little lacking, so let's do it step by step!" Huang Sheng's face was serious, not only did the soldiers of the Yizhou Garrison Division lack combat experience, but even he, the captain, was only a fruit lieutenant in the Yizhou Infantry Army before the expansion of the army, and he lacked a lot of combat experience.

Huang Sheng knew very well in his heart that the main purpose of Wang Ze's transfer of them to Nanyang and Xiyang to participate in the battle this time was to temper the combat ability of these soldiers and officers.

The Nantianzhu people on the opposite side seemed to be very confident in their combat ability, this Nantianzhu infantry army only had about 3,000 people, and after trotting all the way to only two hundred meters away from Huang Sheng, they quickly formed a team, and then rushed to the military formation of the Yizhou garrison division with a strange scream.

Because the long crossbows of the Xia army were not suitable for fighting in the hot and humid Nanyang region, they could only rely on some short crossbows that were relatively easy to maintain, and when the Nantianzhu people rushed to a distance of only fifty paces from them, the grenadiers began to throw thunderbolts at the Nantianzhu people.

What Huang Sheng didn't expect was that some of the people of Nan Tianzhu rushed out of the military formation at the same time, and then threw the things in their hands at him.

A Xia soldier in front of Huang Sheng suddenly roared, and he fell, it turned out to be a sharp javelin, and he had never heard of this kind of weapon in Nantianzhu before.

"It's not good, the crossbowmen come out to shoot, and the sword and shield soldiers pay attention to cover!" Huang Sheng knew that it was not good as soon as he saw the javelin projected by the Nan Tianzhu people, although this kind of javelin was only a light javelin, but the damage to Xia Jun was still not small, and the leather armor equipped by these people could not resist the piercing of this javelin at all.

In addition, if the person penetrated by this javelin did not pierce the vital position, he would not die quickly at all, but would die in the scream after wailing for a long time, which was extremely damaging to the morale of the other soldiers, thinking of this, Huang Sheng couldn't help but be a little worried.

Of course, the thunderbolts thrown by the Xia soldiers also hurt the Nantianzhu infantry army very much, because when he attacked Inpo City, He Liang used up all the thunderbolts in Mingzhu Harbor, so this Nantianzhu infantry army had never seen the Xia army's thunderbolt play.

At this time, a large number of thunderbolts thrown by the Xia army exploded one after another, so that the Nantianzhu infantry army also suffered heavy casualties, but after all, this army was an army from the northern border, and its determination was also very firm, and it still insisted on not retreating, and then a second wave of javelins was thrown.

Huang Sheng was organizing some panicked soldiers at this time, and seeing that some soldiers were more timid, he shouted angrily: "What are you afraid of, there are sword and shield soldiers in front, and you won't be hurt, you see I'm not at all!" ”

But before the words fell, I saw a javelin slip on the shield in front of him, pass through the gap, go straight into Huang Sheng's right shoulder, and penetrate through the left rib.
