The capital of the Western Regions is under the city of Guishan.

The Dawan coalition army once again attacked with a larger force, vowing to break through the shield array of the Tongsi army.

Although the defeat of the vanguard attack surprised King Dawan and the commander of the coalition army, they were not prepared and could not give up.

If they can't defeat the Han people in the case of several times the other party, the prestige of the three countries that sent troops will drop to the freezing point, and they will also pay a heavy price for it, which they extremely do not want to see.

The king of Dawan has long lost his previous high-spirited momentum, but the need of Dawan to defeat the Tongsi army is the greatest.

Therefore, he could only increase the promised benefits, draw all kinds of pies, and use various means such as luring and coercion to force Guishan and Commander Wusun to agree to send a large army to attack the Tongsi Army's shield array.

Everyone is not stupid, through the description of the vanguard general, the two commanders learned that the combat power of the Tongsi army formation was beyond imagination, like a hard turtle shell.

And although the coalition forces have a huge advantage in strength, if they want to pry open the turtle shell and eat the flesh inside, they will have to pay a huge price, which is enough to make them hesitate, after all, they are only here to support.

In the end, after several twists and turns, the high-level leaders of the Dawan coalition finally agreed that the Dawan Kingdom would dispatch 15,000 foot soldiers to attack the front of the shield array and continue to provide bow strikes.

Guishan and Wusun each dispatched 5,000 horsemen to attack the shield array from the flanks.

The original thick military formation of the Dawan coalition army was instantly reduced by more than half, and even the commanders went to the front line with the army to command because of poor vision, leaving only the anxious Dawan king to stay in place and wait.

————

Soon, the Dawan coalition army crossed the yellow sand barrier and came to the front of the Tongsi army.

The cavalry that arrived first cautiously stopped out of range of the crossbow bolts, waiting for the foot soldiers to arrive.

This was what the Guishan commander had agreed with King Dawan before he set off, and it was okay for them to attack, but only after the Dawan infantry had completely attracted the crossbow firepower in the array.

Seeing that the friendly forces were waiting for him, the Dawan infantry did not stop after arriving, and began to advance steadily after adjusting the formation slightly.

Dawan's infantry soldiers sword and shield soldiers in front, pikemen in the rear, and the generals behind them kept raising their morale loudly, looking like they were presentable.

But as soon as he came into contact with the Silk Army, he immediately showed his original form......

The swords of the Dawan soldiers were completely out of reach of the silk army behind the big shield, and they could only slash indiscriminately on the opponent's big shield, completely unable to cause damage.

Although the pikemen behind them were long enough, they still couldn't hit the Silk Army because of the angle.

The Silkworm's shield soldiers are unarmed, but their teammates curled up at their feet do......

A silk soldier shot through the hollow under the shield with a crossbow bolt mounted on a crossbow bolt, wounding two shield-wielding soldiers of the Great Wan Kingdom.

This cut-out design is very ingenious, not only convenient for hitting the enemy's unprotected legs and abdomen, but also equipped with movable baffles, once the baffle is lowered, the enemy will not notice it at all.

The Tongsi soldier was a little happy, pulled down the baffle and was about to put arrows on the crossbow machine again, but when he glanced at his comrades beside him, he found that the other party was directly stabbing and killing the enemy with a long dagger, and he was still counting in his mouth, and there were already four!

So he silently put down the crossbow machine in his hand and took out the dagger from his waist......

This is the majority of the situation on both sides in the shield array, the Tongsi soldiers rely on excellent equipment to resist the vast majority of attacks, while the Dawan infantry can only be beaten passively.

However, the Dawan army also had a rear hand, and after the foot soldiers came into contact, the five thousand archers in the rear followed the situation, and when they advanced to fifty paces, they began to strike at a distance.

Arrows were shot into the formation in waves, and although the damage was not great, it still caused a lot of trouble to the silk crossbowmen who were not covered by shields in the formation.

The crossbows in their hands can only attack in a straight line, and the flight path is blocked by their own big shields, and they can't change their bows and shoot without the means of attack, so they can only look at the general in the center and wait for orders.

Ma Zheng did not issue a new order, and still let these soldiers be vigilant with crossbows.

He didn't pay attention to these scraping foot soldiers at all, and he thought that the main force of the next attack would be the Guishan and Wusun cavalry, so these crossbows would come in handy next.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Commander Guishan to give an order, and the cavalry was dispatched!

At his suggestion, the Kushan and Wusun cavalry prepared to concentrate on one place to attack, and wait until they broke the large shield on the periphery before sending a large army to attack.

In this way, the loss can be effectively reduced, even if you die, you can't give it away in vain......

Two hundred Kushan cavalry attacked first, they cut off their robes and blindfolded the horses, and then urged the horses to increase their speed to the highest speed, and rushed straight towards the silk shield array!

People are afraid of death, but the death of people in war is the most common thing, seemingly contradictory but harmonious.

These Kushan cavalry knew that they were going to die, but they still charged without hesitation.

"Boom boom", the impact force under the high-speed movement is terrifying, after the Kushan cavalry was shot by dozens of crossbowmen, the rest of the men and horses hit the silk shield array like cannonballs.

Compared with the cold steel, flesh and blood are fragile, and many of the cavalry soldiers who hit the big shield died tragically on the spot, and some of them jumped over the big shield and fell inside the shield array, and then were hacked to death by the Tongsi soldiers......

Their suicide attacks didn't seem to have any effect, but they still made Ma Zheng frown.

At the point where the Kushan cavalry concentrated their charge, a large shield was damaged, and one soldier was trampled to death.

This amount is insignificant, but after all, there is a gap in the shield array of the Tongsi Army, and the reserve soldiers under his command are hurrying to replenish it, but the second wave of local impact has also arrived.

This time it was the Wusun, and they had the same tactics as the Kushan cavalry.

The losses were similar, two hundred horsemen rushed in, and more than twenty horsemen returned.

This time, however, the effect was better, as another large shield fell overwhelmed, and the Silkworm lost three more soldiers.

The key is that the large shield that the Silk Army subsequently replenished did not have time to reinforce, and its ability to resist subsequent impacts was greatly reduced.

Moreover, the flesh piled up in front of the formation is getting higher and higher, and if it reaches a certain level, the cavalry may pass over the corpses of their teammates and enter the formation over the large shields outside.

As the attacks of the Guishan and Wusun cavalry continued, as well as the bows and arrows of the Dawan infantry continued to scrape, the casualties of the Tongsi army became larger and larger.

Ma Zheng didn't have much to do about it, so he could only constantly replenish the reserve soldiers to stabilize the formation.

He also knew that it was unrealistic to expect reinforcements now, and Dong Zhuojun would definitely delay the time, and it would only appear when both sides had large casualties......

Similarly, the commanders of Guishan and Wusun could only grit their teeth and insist, and the battle losses of their army and the Tongsi army reached 50 to 1, which was much higher than the battle losses of the attackers during the siege war.

But if they don't, they have no other better way, and they may not even be able to do harm to the Silk Army at all.

This method of exchanging human lives for inferior equipment has actually greatly reduced their casualties......

————

Time passed slowly, and casualties on both sides continued to rise, but the battle loss ratio gradually decreased.

After launching more than ten waves of suicidal charges in a row, with losses of more than 2,000 cavalry, the death toll of the Silk Army also reached hundreds of people......

Commander Guishan, who was outside the shield array, saw that the accumulated flesh and blood was "enough", so he joined Commander Wusun and ordered the general attack to begin.

"Warriors of Guishan and Wusun, have you seen that the comrades in front have used their flesh and blood to knock out a bloody path in front of the steel shield array of the Tongsi Army in front, you can ride your war horses and avenge them! You can avenge the humiliation of your relatives and ancestors with the Han people over the years! You can fight for your own bravery and the prestige of your ancestors! ……”

Before the charge, Commander Guishan deliberately made a pre-war mobilization, after all, many soldiers under his command had already wavered a little when they saw such a bloody scene......

The horses in the shield array also issued a new order, half of the crossbowmen were replaced with melee blades to prepare to fill the gap, and the remaining 1,000 crossbowmen were divided into five teams to shoot the enemy horses in turn.
