Chapter 301: Complete Defeat

"Kill!"

The roar came from the mouth of the soldiers of the palace. Read

They raised the long swords in their hands and chopped at the Xiliang soldiers.

Some Xiliang soldiers were in a panic and only put on their clothes but not their armor.

Under the sharp blades of the soldiers of the palace, there was a slight "squeak" sound of flesh being cut.

Blood splashed out of the bodies of the Xiliang soldiers.

With a scream, the Xiliang soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

Immediately, more soldiers of the palace rushed over.

All the soldiers of the palace were wearing plate armor.

After arriving in Hengshan County, they rested for a while and recovered their strength.

When the city gate was broken, they went straight into the city under the leadership of the generals and acted as the vanguard to kill the enemy.

Facing these soldiers of the King of Yan who were wrapped in armor, the Xiliang soldiers who were already in chaos could not resist at all.

After hundreds of people were chopped and killed one-sidedly, these Xiliang soldiers completely collapsed, and ran away without caring about other soldiers in the camp.

The rout started with one Xiliang soldier, then dozens, and later hundreds.

The generals of the palace saw this and ordered the soldiers to kill the enemy.

Their mission was not to annihilate the enemies in the city, but to drive them to the north gate like ducks.

Let them escape from the north gate, and the real killing intention was outside the north gate.

"Bang!"

As they were fighting, a fierce metal knocking sound was heard.

It turned out that a tall Xiliang soldier took a long hammer and hit the chest of the palace soldier's plate armor.

The palace soldier was hit by the huge force and flew back a meter and fell to the ground, feeling a sharp pain in his chest.

When the other palace soldiers saw this, two soldiers immediately rushed up, one on the left and one on the right.

One slashed down the road with a knife, and the other slashed up the road with a knife.

The tall Xiliang soldier could not dodge, and a deep wound was cut on his thigh. He fell to the ground suddenly. Two soldiers stepped forward and slashed him with a knife, killing him.

Looking up, they saw that there were several tall soldiers waving long hammers among the Xiliang soldiers.

It's okay to be hit in other parts of the body.

Some soldiers were hit on the head and fell immediately.

The general who led them also noticed this problem.

He immediately led the soldiers to deal with these tall Xiliang soldiers.

South wall.

After this place was completely occupied, Zhao Xu and Chang Wei climbed the wall.

Looking down from a high place, he took a telescope to see the battle situation in the city.

At present, most of the Xiliang soldiers are still gathered near the camp in the city.

Some of the Xiliang soldiers there are fighting with the soldiers of the palace, and some are fleeing to the north gate.

He took a general view of the overall situation.

His sight was quickly attracted by the battle situation near the Xiliang camp.

Chang Wei seemed to have discovered it earlier than him, and he said: "Your Highness, the Xiliang people seem to know how to deal with plate armor."

Zhao Xu nodded.

He sold the plate armor to the Ma family, and the Ma family fought against the Xiliang people.

Xiliang will definitely study how to deal with this new type of armor.

That is to use a hammer.

Of course, hammers are not only the nemesis of plate armor, but the nemesis of all armor.

Comparatively speaking, due to the curvature of plate armor, it will be more resistant to being hit in places other than the head.

But if you are hit on the head, there is no way.

Even wearing a modern helmet will cause brains to burst.

After all, hammers are blunt instruments, relying on concussion to kill.

But even so, due to the hard texture of plate armor helmets and thick cloth lining, they cannot be dealt with by ordinary small hammers.

Therefore, if you want to deal with plate armor, you have to use a sledgehammer.

But the sledgehammer is very heavy, and ordinary soldiers find it difficult to swing it, and even if they do, the movement is very slow.

This can be seen from the movements of blacksmiths forging iron.

So in the end, only tall and strong soldiers can use hammers to deal with soldiers wearing plate armor.

But there are not many soldiers with such strength.

Although this poses a certain threat to the soldiers of the royal palace wearing plate armor, it is not very big.

"It does not affect the overall situation." Zhao Xu said.

The generals and soldiers who were fighting in the telescope soon targeted these Xiliang soldiers.

Although tall and strong, these soldiers were not as flexible as the soldiers of the palace with swords and were quickly eliminated one by one.

And these Xiliang soldiers were killed, and facing the soldiers of the palace, the Xiliang soldiers collapsed faster.

After all, plate armor has top-notch defense against swords and arrows.

They can't cut it at all.

And this is why Zhao Xu did not give up plate armor and always equipped the army.

The current Dasong is still in the era of mixed cold and hot weapons.

It is not advisable to completely abandon cold weapons.

The flintlock soldiers who only wear cloth will definitely suffer in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy wearing armor.

Therefore, even his flintlock soldiers are wearing scale armor.

"All solved." Chang Wei was relieved at this time.

The soldiers of the palace are his treasures, and he is also very sad to lose one.

"Boom boom boom..."

When the two were staring at the battlefield, a burst of artillery sounded.

It turned out that the artillery pushed the six-jin field artillery to the center of the battlefield and fired at the Xiliang camp.

Since the field guns were loaded with grapeshot, Zhao Xu saw a small group of the crowded Xiliang soldiers fall down, and more than a dozen Xiliang soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

"Boom boom boom..."

There were at least 20 such light field guns facing the Xiliang camp.

Amid the rumbling sound of the guns, the Xiliang soldiers kept falling down.

In front of them were the soldiers of the royal palace wearing plate armor that could not be pierced by swords.

The side was bombarded by artillery again, and the Xiliang soldiers completely collapsed.

They couldn't find their generals, and no one stopped them from fleeing.

The instinct of survival made them unable to fight any longer.

"Rumble, rumble..."

When the Xiliang soldiers fled in large numbers, the follow-up troops of the royal palace soldiers marched into Hengshan City in neat steps.

On one side, a silver torrent entered from three city gates.

On the other side, the Xiliang soldiers, who had thrown away their armor and were in chaos, fled north from the city.

Ye Renrong had already fled to the north gate at this time.

Closing his eyes, he looked very painful.

Once the army retreated, the war could not be won.

It was difficult to convey military orders to the generals on the battlefield.

Even if the god of war was alive, he could not convey the orders to all the generals in the defeated army, and the generals would convey them to all the soldiers.

Often, only a few confidants followed the generals, and the other soldiers were busy escaping.

And such an army would only be slaughtered when facing a well-commanded army.

"Deputy leader, it will be too late if we don't leave now." The generals around Ye Renrong looked anxious.

He finally gathered three hundred cavalrymen for escort.

If he didn't leave now, he would be unable to leave.

With a flash of resentment in his eyes, he slapped his whip hard and rushed out of the north gate.

However, he had just walked less than three miles and passed a forest when there was a sudden explosion like thunder.

The horse he was sitting on was frightened and threw him to the ground.

The moment his head hit the ground, he saw a cloud of blood mist burst out from the cavalry behind him.

At the same time, many soldiers rushed out from the numbers on both sides.

There were also silver-armored cavalrymen running out of the woods, holding sabers to chase and kill the scattered Xiliang soldiers.

Then he felt a headache and fainted.
