Chapter 34: Task 8: Successfully Reaching Jinzhong (7)
"Low ......"
"Knock ......"
A loud shout was followed by a tight drum beat.
I saw that the pikemen behind the low wall suddenly lowered their bodies, but the spear in their hands was still on the left side of their body and pointed diagonally into the air!
Long Thirteen came behind the pikemen with some cavalry, and continued to use heavy arrows to shoot at the big shield soldiers who rushed over!
After three rounds in a row, the big shield soldiers on the opposite side suddenly thinned out!
At this time, the cavalry, including Long Thirteen, spared out from both sides, and the cavalry behind took their place and continued to shoot flat at the big shield soldiers with heavy arrows!
Then there is the third, fourth, fifth......
As mentioned earlier, the road behind the low wall is more than twice as wide as the mountain road, and each row can accommodate eight people!
When eight people shoot at four people at close range, the probability of hitting increases dramatically!
In this way, the big shield soldiers had to line up in a compact formation again, holding the big shield and slowly approaching the horse rejection pile!
However, they obviously can't hide behind the big shield permanently, and when they get close to the horse rejection pile, they still have to use one person to hold a shield to cover, and one person to use a big axe and a big sword to smash the horse rejection pile!
But the big shield soldiers were obviously very experienced, and I saw one big shield soldier holding the big shield diagonally, and the other big shield soldier kneeling on one knee and smashing the horse rejection stake with a big axe!
After a while, I saw that a horse rejection stake had been successfully cut by them, and then pushed into the river on the side!
And then the second ......
And at this moment, although Long Thirteen personally led everyone to shoot at it, the effect was obviously not ideal, only a few of the big shield soldiers who rushed over were injured and withdrew from the battle, and most of them still touched the vicinity of the horse rejection pile!
If there is a grenade at this time, or a sky-shattering thunder that is not very powerful at this time, it can also make it dare not be
Boldly approach the low wall.
Soon, the six rows of horse rejection stakes carefully arranged by Long Thirteen were all uprooted by the big shield soldiers, and then he pounced on the low wall with a big sword and heavy sword!
All of them were wrapped in armor, only their faces were exposed, and their bodies were generally tall and strong, and since there was only a low wall between them and the pikemen of Dragon Thirteen, it was obviously not feasible to attack them by archery at this time, but at this point, it was impossible for them to fight with a large shield.
"Close!"
Yuan Zongdi shouted, and the eight pikemen behind the low wall brushed the spears in their hands back together!
"Thorn!"
Eight spears with armor-piercing cone-shaped heads stabbed out to the upper left!
That's why the low wall was set at a height of 1.2 meters, and since the pikemen in the first row were generally tall, they were in the most comfortable position to perform the upper left stab at this height.
Also, such a height is in a state where the enemy, whether it is a soldier or a war horse, seems to be able to step over but it is very difficult, so it is natural to hesitate a little after approaching, but every minute and every second on the battlefield is extremely critical, and you cannot afford to hesitate at all.
Eight good spears against the four big shield soldiers who rushed forward, although the big shield soldiers were all bulging, but they were all shot in an instant!
Of course, there were also two spears that were broken by the opponent's knives and axes, but Yuan Zongdi and they finally had the advantage of numbers, and they still knocked them all down!
The armor-piercing cone-shaped spear head stabbed into their bodies in a spurt, and a spear pierced right between the armor pieces of a large shieldman, the sharp blade of the spear stabbing through the rope that connected the armor pieces, and then stabbed into his body!
The other three shieldmen were obviously lucky, almost all of the blades were pierced on the armor, and if it was an ordinary spearhead, most of them would slide to the side when they encountered the armor, and although they were stabbed, it was just a false alarm.
But the armor-piercing cone spearhead is obviously different, his blade is extremely sharp, and there is a high probability that the force will penetrate through the armor after stabbing the armor piece!
At this time, the "neat, fast, and powerful" stabbing effect that Long Thirteen has been pursuing is revealed, and after the stab, it either pierces the armor piece and throws it into the body, or it hits the body fiercely with the armor!
Coincidentally, all four of them were injured and fell!
The second, third, and fourth rows of sword and shield soldiers were almost like each other, but they failed to break through the stormy spurs of the pikemen.
"Boom ......"
Cao Wenzhao, who was in the back, obviously saw this scene.
The attack of the Great Shield Soldier was temporarily stopped.
A moment later, the attack began again!
Three rows of big shield soldiers ran up with big shields!
As soon as they approached the low wall, the first row suddenly went low, and then the second row stepped over them!
This section of the dragon thirteen was obviously thoughtful, when they ran in groups of three, the first row of pikemen behind the low wall also bowed at the same time, but the spears were still stuck in the ground and pointed diagonally at the sky, and the second row was ready to stab!
So, the big shield soldiers who were ready to step on the low wall and then volley down with heavy weapons in both hands to attack were still in vain!
"Boom ......"
The Ming army's attack stopped again.
After about a moment, the big shieldmen rushed up for the third time!
This time, they were all holding heavy long weapons such as big guns and horse lances, and they seemed to have touched the door of the low wall, and when they got closer, they ignored the spears behind the low wall, but stabbed directly at the straw bags!
It didn't take long for the low wall to start shrinking!
After the straw bag was punctured, it became more and more deflated as the dirt inside was exposed, and finally collapsed from a low wall about four feet high into a pile of only two feet!
However, the stabbing of the dragon thirteen pikemen did not seem to be affected, and it was still eight against four, and this time, although all four people on the opposite side were stabbed, the pikemen were also stabbed down by two!
Long Thirteen's eyes were also a little solemn, but just as the big shield soldiers were still rushing forward, he and Bai Wenxuan also came to the front row with a spear each!
"Thorn!"
Long Thirteen was in the center, Yuan Zongdi and Bai Wenxuan were one left and one right, and this time the stabbing stabbed all four people on the opposite side, but he didn't hurt anyone!
"Hold on!"
Long Thirteen shouted, he knew that as long as he repelled the hundred great shield soldiers, the ordinary sword and shield soldiers behind him would not have to worry.
So, led by him, the first eight people have not changed people since this time, and they are all the most powerful pikemen. The shouts of "stab" kept roaring, and the three of them were almost without missing shots, and after a moment of time, with a "bang", the other party shouted gold and withdrew his troops!
Long Thirteen was not happy, he knew that at this time, the low wall in front of him had collapsed into an obstacle that was only one foot high, although the opponent's big shield soldiers had suffered heavy losses, but at this time, as long as they urged the heavy cavalry to come, they still had a chance to win!
"Are you afraid?"
He roared again.
"I'm afraid of a bird!"
Bai Wenxuan replied loudly.
Long Thirteen nodded, "Reject the horse formation!" ”
The so-called rejection formation is that the pikemen in the first row kneel on one knee, stick the two spears in their hands on the ground and point diagonally ahead, while the second row slumps through the gap in the first row, and also points the spears diagonally into the air, but at a higher angle.
The third platoon pointed its spears at the sky at the maximum angle, while pressing his right shoulder against the back of the pikemen in the second platoon.
The fourth row is against the third row, and so on.
Yuan Zongdi shouted: "Three masters, you go to the back, just wait for me"
Long Thirteen shook his head, "Lao Tzu is standing in the first row today, see what the officials and soldiers of that dog day can do to me!" ”
In the army, speaking foul words and loud foul words can boost morale the most, and the highest general personally leads the first line to participate in the battle with the best effect, and there are not many scenes like Long Thirteen personally leading the first row.
Even Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng are brave figures, although they often charge into battle as a pioneer at the beginning, but once they become leaders, they rarely rush to the front in person.
But Dragon Thirteen doesn't!
Bai Wenxuan, Yuan Zongdi, and He Jinlong and others in the back all shouted loudly when they saw the blood of the blood!
"Rumble ......"
As expected, this time, Cao Bianjiao personally urged a hundred heavy cavalry to drive over!
This is a hundred real heavy cavalry!
Not only are the cavalry all wrapped in heavy armor, but even the front half of the war horse is also wrapped in a layer of leather armor, the kind of high-grade leather armor with the sound of gold and bronze!
If there was a row of dozens of horsemen rushing over like this, even if Long Thirteen was a martial artist, he didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to hold out to the end, but because they occupied the best section of the mountain road before reaching Wucheng, the enemy could only rush over with two horsemen at most!
They were able to work in groups of two against one horse, while the other four could stand by and deal with the cavalry on the horses, and as all the pikemen huddled together and leaned forward, they created an opportunity for the cavalry archers behind them to throw their shots!
"Whew......"
The two horsemen on the opposite side threw their short axes when they were about three feet away from the collapsed low wall!
"Bang Dang ......"
Luckily, the pikemen in the first three rows had wide-brimmed iron helmets, and a short axe slid to the side immediately after hitting the iron helmet, and then knocked down the pikemen on the side!
However, another short axe was embedded in the iron helmet of a pikeman behind, and although it did not hurt its head, its strong impact made it temporarily ineffective!
At a distance of 10 meters, you can breathe!
"Pounce!"
"Pounce!"
Both horses knocked down two spears tied together!
However, the cavalry who dared to break forward were obviously strong in martial arts, and at the moment when the war horses were about to touch the spear, the horse lances in their hands stabbed out like lightning!
Long Thirteen's position was exactly between the two war horses, his spear was still empty, and when he saw that his teammates were about to be knocked down by the horse lance, he quickly let go of the spear inserted in the ground and pulled out his long knife!
He soared and slashed at a cavalryman!
At this time, due to the stabbing of the war horse, the body of the cavalryman was leaning forward rapidly under the influence of inertia, and Long Thirteen's knife was just on his iron helmet!
The knife slashed through his helmet and embedded it in his head!
"Three masters!"
Just when his figure was still falling, there was a shout behind him, Long Thirteen didn't even look at it, and copied a good spear in his hand!
At this point, his feet just hit the ground, and he didn't forget to stab the spear out before it fell!
A shot hit another crumbling cavalryman!
As the two war horses fell to the ground, the war horses behind them all stopped moving forward - only the two war horses in front were blindfolded with black cloth, and the war horses in the back were obviously not blindfolded!
"Whew!"
Dragon Thirteen threw another javelin, followed by another......
All three javelins are thrown in an instant!
All three javelins hit the two horses in the second row!
"Whew......."
At the same time, the cavalry archers in the rear began to throw again!
