Chapter 223: China Will Win (3)

Shouzheng put on heavy iron armor and followed the team slowly. Countless arrows flew around, among them the stone shells of stone cannons and the long iron arrows of bed crossbows. Due to its speed and volume, the stone bullet itself can emit a low whirring sound of breaking the wind, but the long iron arrow of the bed crossbow is because of the special three wind holes on the arrow, so it can emit a sharp wind whistle, and the whistle pierces the sky, which can shake people's will the most.

Meng Shouzheng also knew that these two things could not hit him, and they both went straight to the center of the Persian army, which was the most densely populated place for the Persian army, and it was also the place where they could play their most role. Therefore, the iron arrows of the god's crossbow and the wooden pole arrows of the longbow can directly provide them with fire cover. The crossbowmen and longbowmen behind him also followed the forward line and marched as they fired, but the coverage remained at the front of the Persian army. The final effect of this was evident in front of Meng Shouzheng's eyes, and although the Persian army on the opposite side was still stubbornly holding on, it looked a little fragmented.

Of course, Meng Shouzheng and others also received the baptism of the Persian army's arrow rain. The recurve bows used by the Syrian archers were not as powerful as the Beifu longbows, but they were quite dangerous to get into their range. Countless arrows rained down on the stormtroopers, and these arrows falling from the sky were very powerful, knocking the armor of Meng Shouzheng and the others clanging, but few people fell down from the arrows.

Meng Shouzheng, who came out of the University Hall of Bingzhou, understood in his heart that this was because the armor on his body was carefully designed and configured by Jingguo, taking into account both soft and hard. The outermost layer of plate armor is not only hard, but also the rounded shape is polished very smooth, and it is difficult for ordinary arrows and spear tips to resist the force. Even if you are unlucky enough to puncture the plate armor, there is also a layer of iron leaf leaf armor inside, because this layer of armor is made of iron pieces and cowhide, it can be said that it is moderately soft and hard, not only tough, but also able to resist a certain impact. The innermost chain armor is the last line of defense to save your life. A chain armor is a layer of soft armor that is fastened into a net by wire loops, sewn into cotton cloth, and worn close to the body. Sharp weapons such as arrows and spear tips pierced the first two layers of armor, which was already exhaustive, and if he wanted to pierce this layer of soft armor again, Meng Shouzheng felt that it was only possible to be directly shot by the divine arm crossbow at a short distance.

Although Meng Shouzheng was not worried, his subordinate comrades next to him were a little worried. They were worried about whether the helmets on their heads would be able to withstand the arrows that flew down from the sky, because they did not know if the archers of the Persian army, who had not dealt with before, were good enough. However, after a few rounds of arrows, the arrows of the Persian army kept hitting the helmets, and some people were shaking their heads. But no one fell because of this, so they were relieved. However, Meng Shouzheng was very relieved, he knew that although the helmet he was wearing on his head was ugly, it was very strong. Inside is a round helmet directly stamped out of the pig iron with a water press, and the outside is covered with a layer of iron leaf and willow leaf armor. Moreover, the thick armor hung down, directly protecting most of the head and the neck protected by a chain of soft armor, but only an opening was made in the eyes of the front face. In addition, there is a small window on his face, revealing his eyes, and the subway armor mask is really fully armored and airtight.

The stormtroopers slowly advance in a rain of arrows. It's like a group of iron men moving forward. Their heavy footsteps, and their unscathed in the rain of arrows, put great pressure on the Persian pikemen on the opposite side. Because they have not yet seen anyone who walks steadily in such a dense rain of arrows. Compared to the armor of the stormtroopers, the long-handled swords in their hands were almost ignored.

Meng Shouzheng looked at his comrades next to him from time to time, as a non-commissioned officer, he was the backbone of this sentry stormtrooper team, and he had to muster courage for his comrades. Let them persevere in the rain of arrows now, in the sea of blood in the near future.

Their steps were heavy, after all, they were carrying nearly a hundred pounds of weight, and they had to be careful when walking. However, their footsteps were also very rhythmic, basically matching the rhythm of the infantry drums beating next to the phalanx. Step by step.

Soon, the stormtroopers were only fifty meters away from the Persian army, and the Tiger Spear battalion next to them had already engaged the Persian spearmen. Meng Shouzheng knew that on a nearly twenty-mile-long front, it was impossible for you to guarantee that all the local formation teams would be in contact with the opponent at the same time, and according to the fighting style of the Beifu army. The spearmen of the Tiger Gun Battalion suppressed and advanced the tactics of the Persian army, and attacked the enemy by advancing with the spears of Rulin, coupled with the approach of step by step, so as to achieve the goal of suppressing and forcing the enemy back, and finally broke through the defense line still depends on our stormtroopers.

Meng Shouzheng, who was standing still, thought to himself, and turned his head sideways to glance at the Tiger Spear Battalion that had begun to fight, where his friend Gu Cheng was the chief, which made him a little worried.

I saw that the Tiger Spear Battalion braved the rain of arrows of the Persian army, and walked to the front of the Persian army in unison, where there happened to be a formation of pikemen, and countless spears stretched out from the Persian army formation, waiting for the blindless Beifu sergeants to rush up. The spearmen of the Northern Province and the Persian spears looked similar in their posture of holding their guns, both hands apart, leaning on the left side of their bodies. It's just that the spears of the Beifu army look shorter than those of the Persian army, and the spears of the two armies are also completely different. The Persian spears were slightly thicker, narrower at the tip, and finally the entire wooden body was inserted into the iron triangular tip. The spear of the Beifu Army looked a little strange, the relatively thin body of the spear was connected to the blue-gray tip of the spear, and it was integrated in several slightly curved straight lines. The tip of the spear is triangular pyramidal, and the triangular cone tip shines with a cold light, one on each of the three sides of the cone

, this blood groove opens in front of the large and small in the back, and finally closes at the tip of the gun and the body of the gun

The pikemen of the Northern Army and the pikemen of the Persian Army were so close at that moment that they could almost see the reflection on the pupils of their opponents. The sharp tip of the other party's spear was pointed at his nose, almost shaking it in his face. But this moment passed quickly, and the spearmen of the Beifu army stopped slightly, and before the Persian army could react, they only heard the officers and non-commissioned officers of the Beifu Tiger Gun Battalion shouting: "Piercing!" The spearmen of Beifu took three steps forward neatly against the Persian army's Rulin spears, and then the spears in their hands suddenly became longer, and then they heard a "poof" sound, as if something sharp had been thrown into the muddy mud, and the tip of the triangular spear pierced the chest of the Persian spearman. For a moment, countless blood flowers suddenly burst out of the blood trough and splashed silently in the air.

"Close!" The Beifu pikemen in the front row pulled back neatly, ready to retract their spears. Due to the unhindered combination of the blood groove and the tip of the spear, most of the spears were pulled out of the Persian sergeant's body without the slightest obstacle, and with a "whoosh" sound, they were retracted to the side of the Beifu sergeant. At this voice, the Persian sergeant at the front fell limply, and the muzzle of the gun on his body was still bleeding. Soon the dirt was stained red.

Just as the Persian sergeant on the ground was slowly dying in silent breath, the Tiger Spear Battalion heard another "thrust", and the Beifu pikemen at the front continued to take three steps forward, and before that, the vacancy between them due to the fall of the Persian spear had been filled by the second row of pikemen. Then another neat line of pikemen suddenly stabbed their spears and stabbed them into the chest of the Persian sergeant.

Such a close-range spear thrust is unbearable even if he is wearing the heavy armor of the Beifu infantry army, not to mention that the Persian sergeant on the opposite side is just an ordinary armor. In addition, the special tip of the Beifu spear quenched with wrought iron is even more armor-piercing. And the lethality of those three blood troughs was even greater, and in just a moment, the Persian army was bleeding in the front.

But Meng Shou just didn't have time to watch all this, and the assault battalion he was in also began to fight. At the moment when Meng Shouzheng hurriedly turned to look at the Tiger Gun Battalion. From behind, a group of crossbowmen poured in. They quickly rushed up from behind the assault camp under the cover of the sword players, and then fired a rapid direct fire at the Persian army forty or fifty meters away.

With a crackling sound, the powerful iron arrows knocked down a large part of the Persian spearmen at the front, and many of the iron arrows even pierced directly through the body, and the black arrows and tail flakes with blood and flesh scraps pierced deep into the body of the second unlucky Persian spearman.

When the Persian army's front was panicked by this sudden short-range concentrated fire, the commander of the assault battalion where Meng Shouzheng was located waved the saber in his hand and shouted: "Blow the trumpet to Lao Tzu!" ”

Several trumpeters vigorously blew the horn in their hands, and the deep voice suddenly sounded in Meng Shouzheng's ears. Meng Shouzheng and his comrades. He raised the horse chopping knife in his hand into the air and shouted in unison: "Kill the enemy!" Then the people pulled their swords again, the tip of the knife pointed diagonally downward, and then rushed forward with the cries of the overwhelming sea.

By the time Meng Shouzheng led his team to rush to the Persian spearmen, the Persian sergeants had regained a little courage, and stood there pointing their spears at the sergeants of the Dibeifu who rushed towards them, ready to pierce these fierce enemies with a single shot. But Meng Shouzheng and the other stormtroopers were wearing heavy armor. The movement reaction was very agile, and with a slight side of the body, the spear of the Persian army swung to the side with a slash on the smooth and hard plate armor. As the Persians struggled to contain their bodies that had almost rushed forward and withdrew their spears, the Northhouse Charger was in full swing.

Meng Shouzheng yelled. With the help of the sound, with a flick of his arms, the blade of the sword drew an anti-figure-eight arc like lightning, and slashed straight down and upwards towards the Persian sergeant in front of him. The Persian sergeant did not guard against this move, and screamed, and a deep cut was made from the abdomen to the right shoulder. Even the spear in his hand was split in two.

As a wave of snow-white knives rose from the front of the Beifu Army's assault camp, the Persian spearmen were immediately killed countless times. The unforgiving stormtroopers took a few steps to the second row of Persian pikemen who were still standing, and there was another roar, as fast as lightning and thunder, and hundreds of Persian pikemen fell to the ground.

The heavily armored stormtroopers advanced steadily, with thick blood on their bodies, and some even some flesh scraps, trampling on the stumps and blood on the ground, and in just a quarter of an hour, they saw that the first formation of Persian spearmen had been killed. Meng Shouzheng had just taken down a Persian pikeman, and was about to take a few steps forward to reach the last row of pikemen, when he almost tripped over a long black rope-like thing under his feet.

Meng Shouzheng looked closely at his feet, and it turned out to be an iron chain, both sides attached to the ankles of the Persian spearmen who had fallen to the ground. Damn, I said how these Persian pikemen are so fierce, Lao Tzu has been killing for so long, according to past experience, these Persian soldiers have died so many people, at least some of them should be panicked. Who knew that these people were still standing so steady, but they couldn't imagine that they were tied to their ankles, that they couldn't run even if they wanted to, and that they were already dead set to be so persistent.

Meng Shouzheng was about to rush towards the second group of Persian spearmen standing in front of him, when he saw a figure rushing to him with a loud shout, and the enlarged version of the saber in his hand slashed left and right, and suddenly the Persian spears were dense

A gap was made in the formation, and then with a loud roar, Shengsheng stabbed through the left and right sides to rush in, and then raised his right hand. With a swing of the saber with one hand, several broken spears and stumps flew into the air together with the screams of the Persian pikemen. The person continued to slash with his right hand, and his body also turned, and the horse chopping knife rolled up a hunting wind and slashed directly to the left, and the fierce wind made Meng Shouzheng, who followed closely behind, startled, and almost closed his eyes. I saw that with a flash of lightning, several broken spears and stumps flew up to the left of this person, and there was even a head with an open mouth. With an incredible look, he flew into the air and flew into the distance.

Meng Shouzheng sighed in his heart, this Mao is really a tiger general, no wonder he was able to kill thousands of troops and horses and flee to Hongnong when the Zhou army was defeated. At this time, there seemed to be someone in the distance competing with Mao Dang. There was also a loud shout, and then a figure stood out from the stormtrooper ranks. However, this person made two horizontal knives, and the two knives danced like windmills, and everywhere the windmills went, there was no bloody wind and rain, and the stumps and arms were broken. He was like a speeding harvester, rampage through the second army of Persian pikemen. I didn't expect Yang An to be so brave, could he be called the Four Tiger Generals of Loyalty and Righteousness with Mao Dang, Deng Qiang, and Lu Guang.

Meng Shouzheng quickly put away his thoughts and yelled: "Brothers, don't lag behind with others!" Kill! As he spoke, he pulled a knife flower. With a group of subordinates and comrades, he rushed to the second formation of the Persian army.

The swordsmen of the Persian battalion behind him immediately followed the surging rush into the Persian formation, in groups of three or four, or to clean up the remnants of the Persian spearmen who had escaped from the swords of the chargers; Or slowly kill the flanks of the pikemen on both sides, killing the gap between the chargers and getting bigger and bigger, plus the pikemen of the Beifu Tiger Rifle Battalion on both sides slowly stabbed forward and suppressed, and soon protruded the left flank of the Persian army into a large obtuse triangle.

In the back were the Divine Arm Crossbowmen, who were covered by some of the Sharp Battalion Knife Players who had remained. Step by step, step on the crossbow string, then set up the arrow, then raise the crossbow to pull the crossbow machine, and then walk forward in unison for more than a dozen steps. Immediately following behind the assault battalion and the strong battalion, they repeated the crossbow strings, fired arrows, and poured arrows into the area more than 100 meters in front of the forward battalion stormtrooper, providing the highest possible fire cover.

Just when the Beifu army on the northern flank and the center flank was in great power and fought fiercely with the left and center flanks of the Persian army. The Tuobashi wing keys are also starting to wield their might. He rushed out of the gap in the formation with 10,000 black-armored cavalry from the middle of the formation, and soon formed a long column in the gallop. With a swing of his saber, he turned his horse's head, made a rumbling turn with his team, and then galloped south in a parallel direction with the Tocharian coalition army, in a gap of more than two hundred meters between the two armies. The heavy sound of horses' hooves kicked up dust, and soon a huge yellow dragon was formed, winding its way through the two armies.

Compared with the Persian regular army on the left and center flanks, the Tocharian coalition army on the right flank fought more Sven, and they were still using bows and arrows to make indirect contact with the government soldiers on the southern flank of the northern army. Tuoba Shi Yijian led his troops out of the air, which immediately startled the Tocharian coalition army, and even the Scythian cavalry behind the formation raised their vigilance.

Tuoba Shi Yijian led 10,000 black-armored cavalry to gallop in front of the Tocharian coalition army, and in the heavy black, countless white feathers whirled in the dust and gale, which was particularly conspicuous. While instigating his mount, Tuoba Shi Yijian turned his head and saw that his 10,000 cavalry had already run out of the army formation, galloping between the two armies, and then raised his saber and shouted: "Run!" ”

The black-armored cavalry, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately drew their bows and arrows and fired at the right flank. I only heard the sound of "whooshing" arrows in the rumbling hooves of horses, and then I saw thousands of arrows forming a black band, raising from the ranks of the cavalry and throwing them directly at the heads of the Tocharian coalition.

Tuoba Wing Keys led the way to the southernmost end of the formation, almost to the mountainside of the Bosi Mountains, and then, with a wave of his sword, he turned the team around, and then turned his horse's head and ran back. In a space of more than two hundred meters, 10,000 black-armored cavalry formed two columns, and the two were actually separated by less than ten meters. The black-armored cavalry rode their horses as they continued to rain arrows on the Tocharian coalition. At this time, their superb cavalry archery skills were displayed, and the two cavalry teams ran opposite each other at high speed and staggered, not only did they not collide, but they did not even accidentally injure their comrades in front of them with arrows shot in their hands.

The Tocharian coalition army divided a part of the archers and fired a dense rain of arrows at the black-armored cavalry, causing the black-armored cavalry to fall off their horses one after another. However, he couldn't stop Tuoba Shi Yijian and his subordinates from turning south again, and began to repeat the back and forth for the second time.

This kind of momentum of treating the 100,000 allied troops as local chickens and tile dogs not only made the Tocharian allied army angry and screamed, but even the Scythian cavalry could not bear it. Beisizhi took the opportunity to order, and the Scythian cavalry divided 20,000 light cavalry to attack the southern flank of the Beifu army. Amidst the shouts, 20,000 Scythian cavalry bypassed the Tocharian coalition army formation and headed straight for the Beifu army.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Tuoba Shi waved his sword, took his subordinates and went straight to his own military formation, and soon disappeared into the black and oppressive Beifu military formation, leaving only 20,000 wolf-like Xixu cavalry who were driving through the open space of the two armies and killing the southern wing of the Beifu army.
