Chapter 529: The Battle of Old Enemies (2)

The arrangement of heavy axemen in the military formation was the inspiration that Huang Hansheng got in the battle of the southern invasion that year, and after several years of training and tempering, they gradually integrated into various formations, and the army system became more and more mature.

Having resisted the Tang army head-on, he solemnly handed over all the soldiers and horses to Gao Changgong before this expedition, and placed high hopes on them.

"Enter!"

The spears and spears were intertwined, and they could no longer distinguish each other, so these heavy axemen, who had only been able to shrink behind the military formation, finally had a chance to strike, and as they interspersed among them, they drilled out of the military formation from the side of the shield, and the battle axes in their hands were swung out again and again, and many spears were cut off by the waist.

However, they continued to move forward, their battle axes slammed high above their heads, slashing towards the Shenwu Heavenly Army.

Even the fully armored Shenwu Heavenly Army would definitely not be able to resist in the face of the heavy battle axe, and after hearing a dull collision sound, the shields in the hands of the Shenwu Heavenly Army in the front row cracked into a deep gap.

The eyes of the white-clothed "Heavenly Soldiers" who had been invincible before finally showed a look of shock, and there were bursts of numbness and pain in their wrists and arms, and half of their bodies seemed to tremble.

But before they could adjust their shield gestures, the not-so-sharp but very dull axes were raised high again, followed by another slash.

The heavy force finally caused a gap in the defense line of the Shenwu Heavenly Army, and these heavy axemen took advantage of the situation, with the kind of thick smile on their faces, and with the posture of hoeing the ground, they cut down the heavy axe again.

With the splash of blood in the sky, the hard iron armor of the Shenwu Heavenly Army also began to dent and disintegrate.

The dull blade didn't even have to cut through the hard armor, just by the force of the impact, it was enough to cause blood to gush through the opponent's mouth and shatter bones.

"Draw your sword, kill them!" A shout came out from the military formation of the Shenwu Heavenly Army, and in the face of such an unexpected situation, the general who led the troops undoubtedly gave the most correct order in the shortest time.

The spear is too long and may be used for pre-battle combat, but once it is close to it, it is difficult to kill a single enemy.

Fortunately, each Shenwu Heavenly Army was equipped with a waist knife, and while these blades were not too tough against heavy battle axes, they were sharp enough to cut through the leather armor and bring out the scarlet flesh.

But when they did, they were surprised to find that, despite the fact that the heavy axemen were very close to them, because of the length of the handle, they were still a little longer than them, and could stay just outside the range of the waist knife......

The principle of an inch long and an inch strong may not be so applicable to Jianghu scholars, cultivators and others, but in such a large-scale battlefield of confrontation, it is very appropriate, and the Jing Wu Army has obviously made a preparation for all the characteristics of the Shenwu Heavenly Army in advance, so it naturally takes the lead.

The blades could not reach these heavy axemen, but they could easily slash through their shields and even their armor, and their spears were too long to be used as well as they should...... If this kind of laughable situation is just a small fight in the brawl between the rivers and lakes, then it can be recognized as a coward, and then turn around and flee, but at the moment, in this crowded military formation, they don't even have a place to turn around and move, and there is no way to retreat.

What's even worse is that a general in the rear of the Jing Wu army let out a loud shout: "Hook!"

Before the Shenwu Heavenly Army could figure out the meaning of this order, the people in the first row had already felt a chill at their ankles, and when they looked down, they saw that there was a crescent-like hook on the side of Jing Wujun's battle axe, which was falling on their ankles very insidiously.

Expected vigorous drag!

I don't know how many Shenwu Heavenly Armies were dragged to the sky by this ruthless drag.

If you are an ordinary soldier, it is not unusual to fall down, and you can get back up again.

But for the Shenwu Heavenly Army, falling is a very troublesome thing.

The Shenwu Heavenly Army on top of the front row was all relatively complete armor at this time, even if the craftsmen had tried their best to reduce their weight when casting the armor, the weight of the armor was still more than eighty catties.

If you were full of physical strength and high morale before, probably everyone could overcome the pressure brought by the heavy armor on their bodies and get up from the ground strongly, but after experiencing the "bombardment" of fire and thunder, and witnessing the defeat and escape scene of some people "throwing away their armor", many people are a little physically and mentally exhausted.

But Jing Wu Jun obviously didn't intend to let them go, and when the fallen Shenwu Heavenly Army struggled to get up, a terrifying picture had already been reflected in their wide eyes

A battle axe fell from the air, drawing a simple arc, as if he was swinging an axe and chopping wood in his own yard.

Those who act as "firewood" are all living people.

The pain and darkness crushed them into the earth like a huge hammer, and each axe seemed to contain the long-unwanted hatred of the Jingwu people, and the hard armor was split, and the bones and skulls were shattered, and the internal organs and blood rushed to the sky......

After the initial consternation, the soldiers in the back row still neatly drew their waist knives, and the back row raised the spear in his hand, approaching the heavy axe array in front of him.

The Jing Wu army does not lack courage, let alone hatred, but in terms of tempering combat skills, this group of Jing Wu heavy axemen is far inferior to the veteran male soldier Shenwu Heavenly Army.

With the combined spear "guard" in the back row, the Shenwu Heavenly Army with waist knives in the front row finally approached those heavy axemen, and the one-sided killing was repeated again......

Soon after, with a crisp "pop", the building threw away the broken tomahawk in his hand with an ugly face, and each heavy exhalation seemed to take away the strength of his whole body.

The non-stop high-intensity combat made his body feel tired, but the order to rotate was delayed, and he could only hold on not to retreat.

It's not that he doesn't want to take a few steps back, it's just that he knows very well now that there is no place for cowards to survive on this bloody battlefield.

After nearly a year on the border, he had not experienced small-scale friction, and he had also fought with those barbarians from the steppe as a scout, and he thought that he was familiar enough with the battlefield, but after really experiencing this big battle, he realized how stupid his original idea was.

On this battlefield of tens of thousands of people, an individual is like an inconspicuous ear of wheat in a wheat field, when a gust of wind blows, he staggers and is involuntarily dragged away.

Just now, he witnessed a student who was also in the Taixue Hall being submerged in the array of the Shenwu Heavenly Army, and finally let out a mournful roar.

Although he had fought very hard, the enemy continued to pounce on him like a raging wind in the wilderness, the blade cutting through the leather armor on his shoulders, leaving bloody scars on his skin, and the wounded parts of his body also followed his breath and breath, spreading bursts of pain and pain.

Whenever he thought he was going to fall in the next moment, he still stood up with his back with his willpower, and waved the weapon in his hand mechanically, as his nickname suggested, he thought he was a building that would not fall.

But he was really tired now, and as the pain of the wounds on his body made him tremble a little, a trace of fear also rose in his heart, and once the two emotions of tiredness and fear merged, his building was not far from the moment of collapse.

As if to strengthen his courage, he shouted like crazy: "Come on, you have the ability to kill grandpa!"

He flashed the waist knife in the hand of a Shenwu Heavenly Army, but his feet suddenly lost his center of gravity due to the sticky and slippery blood, and the whole person fell heavily on the corpse of a comrade, but he quickly reacted, flew up with a kick, and kicked the Shenwu Heavenly Army violently.

After a muffled "bang", the Shenwu Heavenly Army held the shield and took two steps back, and his feet were slammed, but he stood firmly.

"Damn ......" Seeing that his kick did not have the expected effect, the building cursed in his heart.

Through the shield that was nearly a man high, he saw a pair of cold eyes.

The building was full of swelling, and he faintly felt the surging qi and blood in the other party's blood, he knew that this was a cultivator, and he was also a battle-hardened veteran.
