Chapter 1836 Silver Spear Legion (Part 1)!
Chapter 1836
"Crack!"
The distance was getting closer and closer. Behind the first steel defense line, all the soldiers clenched their weapons and looked forward, bursting with strong fighting spirit. This is no ordinary battlefield, this is a country-destroying battle between Datang and Dashi.
In the face of this war, no one was timid, let alone fearful.
"Prepare!"
The shouts of killing on the other side were earth-shattering, but on the other side of the Tang Dynasty, except for the area where the giant beasts were attacking, the rest of the area was peaceful, as if these giant beasts so close at hand were in another dimension of space.
More than thirty giant crossbows roared, and waves of attacks continued. But on the left and right wings, everyone's attention was focused on the mighty enemy troops that were about to rush into the steel defense line.
One hundred meters, eighty meters, sixty meters...
The distance is getting closer!
"Boom!"
Finally, thousands of iron cavalry charged, slamming into heavy shields that were as tall as a person.
"withstand!"
In the flash of lightning, bursts of loud shouts echoed across the battlefield. Behind the huge shields, the burly and sturdy shield warriors spread their legs apart, tilted their bodies, muscles all over their bodies, and even the veins on their foreheads bulged, and they tried their best.
The first line of defense is provided by the entire Tang Dynasty, the top shield soldiers in each legion, including the Chi family, the Li family, the Zheng family, the Du family, as well as warriors from several major shield soldier families and the elite shield soldiers in Beidou City. . These people are top shield soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles, possessing rich experience and strong strength.
Boom boom boom, that is to say, in the blink of an eye, thousands of large food cavalry are densely packed like rain, with spears, scimitars, horse hooves, and all kinds of gang energy, hitting these giant shields like a violent storm, each one The shield soldiers were under unimaginable pressure at this time.
The vast army of Da Shi cavalry has completely covered every inch of Datang Iron and Steel’s defense line, and more than that——
"kill!"
In the flash of light and stone, tens of thousands of large food cavalry were not afraid of death. They didn't care whether they would be trampled to death by the giant beast. They directly followed the gap made by the giant beast and killed towards the defense line.
Although the giant beast has not completely broken through Datang's defense line, it is much easier to rush in through these gaps than other defense lines, and it can kill Datang by surprise, catching them off guard.
——No matter how they defend themselves, the impact of the giant beast can make their defense line collapse.
"Come in with them all and kill all these heretics, leaving no one behind!"
The wind was howling, and in the center of the army, Apolis, dressed in black heavy armor, stopped to command, his black cloak hunting and dancing in the void. At the same time, other governors and deputy governors were also cooperating with Apolis to command the army and rush over.
There are more than 200,000 Dashi cavalry. This is Dashi's first high-pressure test. Although it is not a full-scale attack, once they cannot resist it, all the Tang Dynasty/army will only die.
Boom boom boom!
The battle reached an extremely fierce stage at the beginning, with various shouts of death, clashes, and swords clashing. But at this moment, there was silence around the battlefield.
In terms of food, Gu Taibai, the high priest, and Abu Mus/Lin.
In the Tang Dynasty, Wang Zhongsi, Zhangchou Jianqiong, and Gao Xianzhi.
Farther away, in the northwest direction of the battlefield, a burly figure stood in the distance. Looking from a distance, if you look carefully, you will find that the man is none other than the Western Turkic General Wubi Shibi!
Datang and Dashi were at war, and the two countries mobilized in full force. The stakes in this war were too important, and the countries could not just sit idly by. But bringing all the soldiers and horses over might cause misunderstandings between the two countries, so there were only a few people around Wu Nu Shibi who went to the front line to observe in person.
He wanted to see this battle with his own eyes and witness the final victory or defeat of this war!
And just like Wu Nu Shibi, there are far more people who have the same thoughts.
Looking down from the sky, you will find northwest, southwest, due east... there are many other figures scattered there. No one dares to get too close and watches from a distance, also not wanting to cause misunderstanding between the two parties. .
"call!"
Soon enough, a strong wind blew from the northeast and spread across the entire battlefield. Just when the entire army of 200,000 large food cavalry pressed forward, they attacked with all their strength from all directions, exerting maximum pressure on Datang.
"Beehive, put it down!"
After giving the order, the next moment, Datang finally launched a counterattack. Along with bursts of piercing screams, countless arrows shot out from the tall steel walls in front.
When the two armies are fighting, according to past practice, all crossbow and arrow units will immediately launch attacks once the enemy enters the range. The denser, the better, and the more powerful, the better.
But Wang Chong is different. With his unique steel defense fighting method, Wang Chong's troops will wait until the two sides are in close combat and the enemy camp is most densely populated before starting to shoot.
In this range, basically no arrows are missed, and this is also when the crossbow and arrow units are most lethal.
Whoosh!
Amidst the bursts of piercing whistling sounds, waves of beehive attacks continued, covering almost every inch of space.
"ah!"
Waves of shrill screams rang out, and the biggest casualties of the first war appeared instantly.
It was not Datang who was trampled by giant beasts and its defense line collapsed, but Dashi who took the initiative to attack. Accompanied by intensive shooting, a famous Dashi cavalry screamed and fell in front of Datang's steel defense line, including man and horse. , those arrows that were only more than a foot long shot into their eye sockets, necks, and gaps in their armor, and also penetrated the heads of the horses under their crotches.
Some experienced cavalrymen wielded their machetes and tried their best to block, but they still couldn't resist. When the beehive attacked, each man took nearly a hundred arrows. At such a close distance, the power of the arrow's critical strike alone is enough to dissipate the energy in these big food cavalry and kill them alive.
"Xi Yuyu!"
There were endless screams, one thousand, two thousand, three thousand..., Datang launched a counterattack, but in a short period of time, eight or nine thousand cavalry were killed in Dashi, and the death toll was still increasing.
"Crossbow phalanx, prepare, shoot!"
Immediately after the beehive, among the army, Su Hanshan looked stern. With a wave of the long sword in his hand, he immediately pulled out half of the crossbow troops attacking the giant beast, turned around, and aimed at the large food cavalry outside the city wall.
"boom!"
There was just a roar, and when tens of thousands of crossbow arrows shot out, the sound was like a mountain collapsing and the earth cracking, and it was extremely terrifying. And in the eyes of everyone, those long crossbow arrows flashed with the light of death, instantly passing through the entire steel defense line and sinking into the large food cavalry behind.
Boom, in front of the steel defense line, before a heavy-armored cavalryman could react, his chest was immediately pierced with a large hole. Those hard armors could not even delay half a moment in front of the sharp crossbow arrows. It fell apart like paper.
The long arrow did not rest, and after it shot through the first Great Food Cavalry and knocked his body off the horse, it continued to blast into the body of the second Great Food Cavalry behind him.
Accompanied by a burst of shrill screams, the second Dashi cavalryman and horse were pierced by an arrow, and then the third, fourth, fifth...
Huge damage appeared instantly. After the first wave of attacks, more than 40,000 Dashi cavalry fell in front of the steel defense line. Human corpses and horse corpses were crisscrossed, and blood flowed freely on the ground. If it weren't for the crowds in front of the defense line, some Dashi cavalry would have been killed. Having been hit by several crossbow arrows, the number of casualties would be much higher than this.
"What a terrifying power!"
In the distance, the wind blew, the weeds floated, and the five crossbows were missing, riding a Turkic horse, and a look of panic flashed in their eyes.
On the opposite side of the battlefield, in Dashi's camp, Gu Taibai, Apolis, and other governors and deputy governors of Dashi, when they saw this scene, their eyelids twitched and they showed a hint of shock.
In terms of lethality alone, the power of these Tang Dynasty crossbows is probably no less than that of the great beasts of the Great Eclipse. They are definitely a harvesting weapon on the battlefield. Based on this alone, this pagan country in the East has surpassed all the previous ones of the Great Eclipse. opponent.
However, no matter how powerful the opponent is, if they dare to be enemies with Dashi, they will only die.
"The shield cavalry presses forward, the whole army charges!"
Among the army, Apolis's cloak was fierce and his eyes were extremely sharp. Although the death toll in the first wave of attacks reached 150,000, Apolis didn't care.
In this Eastern Expedition, Dashi brought more than two million elite cavalry. The 150,000 men and horses seemed huge, but compared to Dashi's huge force, it was just a drop in the bucket and insignificant. Moreover, in the past tradition of Dashi, the vanguard battalion was originally used to die, and even if they all died in battle, there would be no regrets.
"boom!"
Following Apolis's order, a sudden change occurred, and the dense army of food suddenly separated like waves, and another fat and strong army quickly rushed up.
This cavalry is completely different from other camps. The war horses they ride are obviously much taller than other war horses. The bones of the war horses are stronger and more explosive.
The most attractive thing is the armor they wear. All the cavalry are wearing silver-white heavy armor. The thickness of the armor is more than five inches. The horses under their crotches are also equipped with the same armor.
Such armor alone weighs five to six thousand kilograms, which is difficult for many elite infantrymen to bear. Not to mention that in front of these war horses there are large silver shields more than half a foot thick.
These large shields are more than half a man tall, with countless exquisite patterns engraved on the surface, which are additional formation inscriptions used for defense. The surface of the large shields is covered with spikes. At the most important center position, a six-foot-long The remaining silver-white spikes completely replaced the function of the spear, looking cold and terrifying.
The most unique thing is that this heavy giant shield is actually integrated with the heavy armor on the war horse. The giant shield and the war horse are connected together by strong steel pillars, which looks extremely solid.
Shield Cavalry, or the Silver Lance Corps! ...
