Chapter 396: Transcendent Battle (Subscription Requested)
Pang Ban looked at Li Xian's heavy armor soldiers on the other side of the river, and secretly gasped, if it was a dozen or even a dozen ten, Pang Ban was not afraid of these armor soldiers with the ability of an innate master, but once this kind of armor soldier reached more than fifty, the halberd soldiers stepped forward to fight, and the musketeers pressed the formation in the back, even the innate masters could not be shaken head-on, so they could only retreat and then slowly figure it out.
These 200 armored soldiers stepped forward, not recklessly, but lined up in a fan shape, advancing little by little, and at the same time stretched out their halberds, poking into the ground with horizontal blades from time to time, as if they were strictly guarding against underground ambushes.
This kind of caution seems unreasonable and wasteful, but it is actually very necessary.
One of the halberders slammed his blade to the ground, causing the small area to collapse immediately, and then a violent explosion occurred, and the dust splattered several of the halberd soldiers around him to the ground.
Fortunately, the length of the halberds of these halberders is more than five meters, and the distance between the explosion site and people is relatively far, and these halberders are all wearing iron armor, and they have true qi or gang qi to protect their bodies, but no one has been caught by the flying fragments.
However, in this way, everyone is more cautious and more meticulous.
As the halberd soldiers carefully advanced, they found that there were indeed many ambushes on this side of the riverbank, and there were clay pots hidden in some places, which exploded at the slightest touch, which was considered an earthen mine.
As early as the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, someone invented explosives that can be buried in the ground, which conceals a mechanism, and once it encounters external pressure, it will explode, and it was popular for a while during the Warring States period in Japan, and it is not a rare thing in China.
Nowadays, human beings have also mastered the technology of large-scale production of mine mercury and other items, and it is easier to make this kind of touch mine than before, even the military factory under Li Xian also has the ability to mass-produce this kind of defensive weapon, which is a few points stronger than the current earthen mines.
As the halberd soldiers advanced forward, they also found a large number of pits, that is, pits dug more than one meter below, and a large number of sharp wooden and even iron sticks were inserted in them.
In addition to mines and pits, there are also tripwires and thistles buried in some places, in short, to surprise the Chinese army.
After searching for about a quarter of an hour, a halberd soldier finally won the jackpot, only to see his horizontal blade slam into the ground, knocking down a large area, revealing a huge pit.
At first, everyone thought it was just a pit with a large number of sharp weapons, but it turned out that the pit was much wider and deeper than the ordinary pit, and there were people hiding inside.
Dozens of armorers wearing white iron armor jumped out of the pit, and without saying a word, they rushed towards the team where the halberd soldiers were located, with a strong body and no bad martial arts.
"White armor soldiers, everyone form a formation to meet the enemy!"
When the captain of the halberd squad saw that it was not good, he immediately shouted, and everyone gathered together to fight the enemy together.
The white-armored soldiers are the most commonly used corpse soldiers in the Qing court, with great strength, comparable to the first-order or second-order martial artists, among them, the physical fitness of the white-armored Niu Lu who leads the team is even comparable to the grandmaster-level master, and he is also wearing strong iron armor.
It's just that the halberds of the special combat team are not mortals, and there are fifteen halberders closest to these white-armored soldiers, and they are close together and point the five-meter-long halberd outward, just like a hedgehog, giving people a feeling that there is nowhere to attack.
One of the white-armored soldiers Niu Lu's strength reached nine, comparable to the average third-order master, and he leaned forward with great strength, and when he saw that there was a halberd in the way, he slashed it with the long knife in his hand, thinking that this blow would definitely make the halberd swing away, and he could take advantage of this opportunity to rush in and kill the weak human soldiers.
Unexpectedly, the halberd soldier was unusually strong, and the halberd only swung a foot or so before quickly swinging back, and the half-meter-long horizontal blade at the front end was withdrawn and went straight to the head of the white armor Niulu.
As a corpse soldier, the white-armored soldier can bear more serious injuries than ordinary humans, but after all, the head is the head of the six yangs, once it is poked, it will also die.
It's just that the white armor Niu Lu resisted the attack from above, and the bottom couldn't take care of it, and there were already two long halberds poked down, going straight to the calf of the white armor Niu Lu, once poked, even if the white armor Niu Lu did not immediately lose combat effectiveness, it would also lead to a significant decrease in mobility ability, and then be besieged and killed by the halberd soldiers.
The white armor Niu Lu is different from ordinary white armor soldiers, he is somewhat intelligent, can use true qi, and can also write martial arts, so he hurriedly changed his steps at this time, but avoided the assassination of these two halberds.
However, dodging the first time may not be able to dodge the second and third time, the halberd soldier who attacked him was very sophisticated, and the first time he didn't stab, he immediately turned the halberd slightly, so that the horizontal blade was almost level with the ground, and then with a hook, he actually cut off the calf of Baijia Niulu.
The white armor Niu Lu lost his balance and stumbled, and the halberd soldier team saw that the opportunity could not be missed, and immediately several long halberds attacked from the side, piercing his chest and abdomen, and someone even hooked off the head of the white armor Niu Lu with a horizontal blade.
These halberd soldiers are the best at forming formations and cooperating, each of them has a second-order or third-order cultivation, and the halberd is fused with hook and sickle spears, Yuejia guns, gold and silver halberd methods and other military magic skills, and they will not fall behind at all when they encounter white-armored soldiers.
After all, the white armor soldiers are just soldiers, and it's okay to let them rush into the crowd and slash and kill, but it's difficult for them to form a military formation to meet the enemy.
At this time, I saw that the halberd soldiers turned their weapons outward, and all the white armor soldiers were five or six meters away, and the white armor soldiers had brute strength, but they could not fight with the halberd soldiers in close quarters at all, so they could only shout outside the long halberd array, and they didn't know what to do.
Occasionally, if a white-armored soldier who doesn't know what to do wants to break through the halberd array with all his strength, he will be killed by the halberd soldiers like the previous white-armored Niu Lu, without giving him a chance to turn the tables.
At this moment, the two sides formed a short and delicate balance, the white armor soldiers did not have the ability to rush into the halberd formation, they could only be anxious outside the circle, and the long halberd soldiers did not rush forward, but only used the long halberd to stop the white armor soldiers from advancing, and there seemed to be no idea of risking the attack to kill the enemy.
In this short period of effort, the other halberd soldiers around also reacted, gathered in a team of fifteen people, and then surrounded them, squeezing the activity space of the white armor soldiers little by little.
The special combat team also implements a regular military system, that is, 15 people are in a squad and five people are in a small group, and they disperse and gather very quickly.
