994 Fearless of death

Fighters on the battlefield are often fleeting.

This time, the opportunity for the forward battalion selection was particularly good, and it happened to be the front army of the Gao family, when the southeast corner was opened by the chariot troops.

At this time, the Gao family army is also rapidly adjusting the formation, and the teams on both sides of the gap are quickly backfilling, trying to plug this gap.

And the forward battalion of the Thousand Mountains Army rushed quickly towards this gap.

This forward battalion is not an ordinary person.

Those who can be selected for this battalion are all old artillery.

Some of them were prisoners of the tin cans soldiers who had been captured from Qingshan Castle before, and some were rogue criminals who had taken refuge from outside.

What's more, it is a death row prisoner who committed a capital crime in Thousand Mountains City.

The selection personnel of Qianshan City will select some guys with strong physiques and brave and aggressive personalities from these people to join the forward battalion.

Usually they are served with good food and drink, but they will also participate in the hardest training.

Those who are not qualified are basically screened out in the process of several rounds of selection.

And once it's screened out, it's basically a dead end.

Those who survive will have the opportunity to make contributions on the battlefield.

And the commitment of the Qianshan Army to the soldiers is very important.

Generally promised, as long as you make achievements on the battlefield, it will give you a good reward.

It is not impossible to seal a wife and a son.

So these guys from the forward battalion, once they go to the battlefield, they will also be crazy and desperate.

The combat effectiveness is off the charts, and it's all sprinkled with water.

At this time, their commander saw the gap in the enemy's battle formation, and then gave the order to charge desperately.

The soldiers of the forward battalion, screaming and screaming, rushed towards this gap.

Of course, the rush is not a random rush, but a team of ten people, basically in the formation of a mandarin duck formation, into a wedge, towards the gap.

And Gao Xin, who was standing on the dirt slope, saw such a picture, and his face suddenly changed greatly.

"Shoot the arrows, quick, release the arrows, stop them!"

Gao Xin yelled at the charging vanguard battalion.

The longbowmen at the rear of the battle formation finished their bows one by one, pulled their longbows, and then one by one huge arrows swarmed towards the soldiers of these forward battalions.

And these fighters of the forward battalion will naturally not rush stupidly.

When you rush again, you will look up at the battlefield and see a rain of arrows coming.

Immediately they would shout, and then they would form a small formation in groups of ten.

Hold the shield in high enough to protect the top of your head and your front body.

And the long arrow shot by the Gao family army is not an ordinary arrow.

This is a longbow that Gao Xin secretly created after observing the longbow and giant crossbow of the Thousand Mountains Army.

The length of the bow is one and a half meters, and the soldiers selected are all strong men with a height of more than one meter eight.

The end is the strong bow and crossbow of this era, if there is no compound bow of Thousand Mountain City, their longbow can definitely be regarded as the only long-range weapon in this era.

But precisely because of the presence of the Thousand Mountains Army, their weapons can only be regarded as pediatrics.

Since the Qianshan Army has strong bows and crossbows, it naturally also has weapons to guard against strong bows and crossbows.

For example, these forward battalion soldiers are holding shields in their hands.

The outside is covered with a thin steel plate, although it is only 0.3 millimeters thick, but the protective power is not comparable to that of ordinary iron shields.

The giant crossbows were bounced off when they hit these shields.

But the soldiers were all unscathed, and one by one they quickly stood up again, and rushed towards the battle formation of the Gao family's army.

Just as they rushed to the front of the Gao family's army battle array, the two wings of the Gao family's army had just filled the gap.

Seeing such a picture, Gao Xin also breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next scene surprised him.

Because the soldiers of the forward battalion did not stop charging because the Gao family army had re-formed the battle formation.

Soon they adjusted their formation, with sword and shield hands in front, holding shields to protect their comrades behind them.

The comrades-in-arms behind him were quickly replaced by a row of soldiers holding flails.

The role of this flail is actually a common slap rod in later generations.

The shaft of the spear, but in front, there is a turnable shaft, and under the shaft, the weapon is strange.

Some are meteor hammers, while others are thirty centimeters long with double-sided blades.

At a distance of three or five meters, he picked up the spear and smashed it downward.

And the soldiers in the front row of the Gao family's army obviously had never seen such a weapon.

They still use the traditional method of combat, with sword and shield men in front and spearmen in the back, ready to assassinate the enemy who rushes at them.

But how could they have imagined that the enemy's weapon could bypass the shield and smash it from the top of their heads.

Caught off guard, the spearmen in the first platoon, after one round, suffered heavy casualties.

Spearmen came up to the rear, but they were soon killed by the flail men of the forward battalion.

The soldiers of the Gao family army were a little panicked at this time.

Although these soldiers have been highly credited for a year, they have secretly cultivated elites.

But in the face of opponents with diverse tactical means and frequent weapons, these Gao family troops still panicked.

When three rows of spearmen were stoned to death, the spearmen behind Gao Jiajun said that they didn't dare to lean forward.

At this time, the sword and shield bearers of the Thousand Mountains Army used the long knives in their hands to knock the shield.

There was a neat thud, and then a row of sword and shield hands, with a loud roar, quickly collided with Gao Jiajun's sword and shield hands.

'Boom'

The sword and shield hands on both sides quickly collided together.

The forward battalion of the Qianshan Army, which was well fed and drunk, was obviously more ferocious.

These guys eat and drink spicy food in the Qianshan Army on weekdays, and their physical fitness is already good.

In addition, on a daily basis, they will also be arranged by Grande for various targeted training, so they are obviously taller and stronger than Gao Jiajun's sword and shield hands.

With just one charge, the sword and shield hands of the Gao Jiajun in the front row were knocked to the ground in rows.

And once the shield bearers like Gao Jiajun fall, they will never have a chance to stand up again.

The boots of countless soldiers of the forward battalion stepped directly on the bodies of these people.

Soon rushed to the front of the Gao family's army behind, and the Gao family's courage was already a little panicked at this time.

Countless soldiers, under the command of the officer, could only bite the bullet and prop up the spears in their hands.

But then the scene that made them crack dramatically happened, and the soldiers of the forward battalion were not afraid of death.

The shield in his hand slammed into their array of spears.

"Boom"

"Click"

There was a crisp crash, and the sound of a weapon breaking came.

Dozens of soldiers from the forward battalion of the Qianshan Army smashed the spear formation of the Gao family army into a gap in one fell swoop and crashed into the battle formation of the Gao family army......
