Chapter 441: : The Han Army is too rigid

? The staring eyes of the two heavy infantry did not last long. After a rush of war drums from the Han army, the soldiers who were about to go into battle first yelled in unison, "Drink!" They all remind soldiers that they should take steps, forming a uniform stepping sound.

Before the attack was launched, some of the heavily armored infantry of the Han army replaced their weapons with long spears. The third row of the formation started with some people holding shields and holding spears. If you look inside through the shield, you will see the spears. It's being pinched at the waist one by one, making the formation look very neat.

The armor on the heavily armored infantry of the Han army should be sixty-five kilograms in total, and the weight of the shield or weapon, the overall weight is definitely about a hundred or so. They are arranged in the front by the person holding the tower shield. The first row is holding the tower shield, the second row is lifted up to an inclined angle of about 45 degrees, and the third row is lifted up and laid flat at the beginning. When the formation is dense, it looks like one side is made of steel while moving. Walls.

The Jijin three bridges built during the Emperor Xuan Dynasty of the Han Dynasty are a kind of gradual hole bridge, which is made of a mixture of stone, wood, and soil. Its two sides appear relatively low, and the highest point in the middle is more than 30 feet. Due to the length of the bridge If the relationship is too long, there will be no obvious slope.

   The Han army began to move forward, and the Longteng guards on Shijie Zhao's side also began to react. They did not stay on the bank of the river, but stepped into the bridge deck amidst the bleak horns, and their posture was to block the bridge.

The advancement speed of the Han army forming the shield formation is not fast. It can even be said that the advancement speed is a bit slow. Every time they advance fifty steps forward, they will pause for a short time to adjust the loose formation. Taking the opportunity to recover some physical strength.

   "Pay attention to your feet."

   "I know."

   It is not the epee who is in the front row, but the people who have been selected. The Han army is very particular about the formation of heavy infantry. The height should not be less than 7 feet 3 inches, and the skeleton should be large and strong. They usually train the most physical fitness and stride formation. On the contrary, their personal fighting skills are less trained. .

   Xiaoqi, who is walking in the front row, can look forward through the gap of the shield, because the bridge is seen from the higher relationship in the middle of the bridge. In fact, he mechanically listened to the drum beats of the rear war drums, and the drums stopped as soon as they stopped.

  The soldiers who can act as strikers are generally selected for the bold, and the robe standing side by side with Xiaoqi is to be a sharp soldier according to the military. They are the first group of people to get close to the enemy, and they are definitely the first group to be attacked. They have a high psychological endurance. If the faint-hearted see a large number of enemies coming in, it is very likely that their psychological endurance is low. Turned around and fled.

The Han army lacked self-confident soldiers in the early days. After all, their original living environment was very bad. Not only was it bad under the arbitrary bullying of the Hu people, but there was no dignity. Liu Yan used systematic troops to give them courage again and again for a long time. , Coupled with their repeated victories in the war, they gradually recovered their courage, and even became unprecedentedly confident because of continuous victories.

  In Xiao Qi's line of sight, the enemy's head appeared first in the distance, and then his body gradually appeared. He judged for a moment, he should be about one hundred and forty steps away from the enemy, and subconsciously raised his head to look at the sky, but his vision was blocked by the shield.

   There are shot arrows flying in the sky, and it doesn't seem to be too dense.

   The front ends of the three bridges are all equipped with heavy infantry. From the front to the back, they extend nearly two hundred and forty steps. Behind the heavy infantry is the crossbow unit.

"Even if it is a strong crossbow, a distance of 300 steps will not have any lethal effect on the heavy infantry." Li Jun is a soldier of the heavy infantry. The troops under his command serve as the forefront of the attack. On the south bank of the river beach, on the side is a car with drums of war. He looked at the situation ahead and said: "It seems that the harassment effect is also very limited."

The strong crossbow has a long range, and its maximum power is about 30 steps. The prismatic arrow can penetrate three layers of heavy armor, but no one will make the strong crossbow force even when the enemy is close to 30 steps. Put in the front, that means the battle will be launched after one launch. And the strong crossbowmen who don't have any melee combat support, they will inevitably be killed in large numbers when facing the approach of the close combat arms.

  Despite the limited harassment, the Han army still fired the crossbows one after another, even allowing the bed crossbows on the river beach to perform tentative firing. Unfortunately, the range of the bed crossbows could not reach the enemy.

   Li Tu was taken aback when he saw the Han army's bed crossbow fired. He couldn't help showing a mocking expression when he saw that the fired crossbow arrow fell more than fifty steps away from his own troops.

Even if they didn’t understand the Han army before, Shijie Zhao Jun suffered a bitter price, especially here Shijie Zhao Jun was abused by the Han army’s long-range weapons for nearly ten days and came to a big collapse. No matter how stupid they are, they should gather together. Intelligence, research on the range of various long-range weapons of the Han army.

   The Dragon Guards on the bridge deck, they stopped at the distance of the Han army's long-range weapons that can cause serious damage according to the prompts from the rear, that is, they can be located north of the center of the bridge.

   If you look at the three bridges, you will find a scene where both sides made the same move. There is no unusual tricks. The result is that the heavy infantry of the two armies are crowded in front of the previous enemies.

   Rhythmic drum beats sounded again, Xiao Qi followed the many Pao Ze and let out a "drink!"

  The combat tempo of heavy infantry can't get up fast. There are no troops participating in the battle. Some soldiers on both sides of the river beach can only hold their breath and watch.

   The weather is hot, with layers of armor on them. In fact, the heavily armored infantry on both sides should have been sweaty. The sweat on their bodies would flow downwards, and the bridge ground would show water marks if they gathered too little.

   The two sides have been close to each other within 30 steps, and the Dragon Guards, who had not moved, suddenly burst out in unison, and some objects that looked like guns were thrown out of the Dragon Guards formation.

   More than one basic-level officer on the Han army side shouted: "Hold it! Hold it!"

Almost as soon as the voice fell, the sound of bumps frequently sounded. It was the spear thrown by the Dragon Guardian and knocked on the shield. If the contact between the spear head and the shield is in the dark, you can definitely see sparks. That is An instant impact effect.

  The throwing behavior of the Dragon Guardian was wave after wave. The shield in the hands of Xiaoqi, who was in the front row, was hit twice in succession, and the force produced was not light.

   Ran Min, who was watching with a single-tube telescope, gave a "tsk" first, turned his head to look at Li Tan and said with some wonder: "Why didn't we think of this trick?"

   "..." Li Tan really didn't know how to answer. They valued weapons such as strong crossbows, bed crossbows, and stone dumping carts. They really forgot the throwing guns that were used in ancient times. He touched the beard of his chin and said, "You can learn from it, and you can learn from it. In the future, you will have to add gun-throwing training, and you can even equip the infantry with a small axe for short-range throwing."

   Ran Min nodded, looking very interested in the suggestions Li Tan mentioned.

   Li Jun, who was staying in the rear command headquarters, was actually taken aback for a while when he saw the enemy throwing a spear, and noticed that there were no casualties in his army, and he was relieved. He will inevitably also have an idea that can be used for reference, just think about it and quickly focus his attention, and order the drummer next to him to speed up the rhythm of the drum.

   Thirty steps is a matter of running a few seconds for other arms. Heavy infantry with heavy load is difficult to run quickly. They can only move forward step by step.

   Within twenty steps of the two sides approaching, the Dragon Guards stopped throwing their spears. You can see that the Dragon Guards in the front row are tightening the distance between each other and stacking their shields as much as possible. When doing these actions, they didn't know what they were shouting, but they sounded loud and noisy.

  The rest of the people watching the battle. Zhao Jun from Shijie on the north bank of the Yellow River burst into shouts. I don't know how many people were shouting. The sound was so loud that it could conceal the sound of drums and horns. On the south bank of the Yellow River, the Han soldiers remained quiet.

   Xiaoqi visually measured the distance between the two sides, and the distance between each other would not exceed ten steps. He squeezed the shield in his hand, and subconsciously turned his head to look to the side. The officer's voice heard in his ears, and he saw long spears passing forward.

   "Prepare to meet the enemy. Hold the shield and control the spear in pairs!"

The sound of metal rubbing is so slight in the noise. The heavy infantry of the Han army under the shield protection, they follow the orders of the officers and perform various actions. Every shield in the front is modified by soldiers. In order to push with their shoulders, the people in the second row used the interlocking of the shields to turn their hands on the back of the front robe, and then they were always ready to poke their spears out of the shield piercing holes.

   A battlefield full of noisy noises, a neat and loud sentence of "Han Army Mighty" was shouted, and the next moment the shields of the two armies collided with the shields, and the roar of metal once covered other sounds.

  Because the battlefield rhythm is controlled by the Han army, the engagement of the three bridges basically took place one after the other. After the three huge collisions were generated, no matter it was the sound of war drums, horns, and noise, it was a meal.

The next moment after the battle, the heavy infantrymen of the two armed forces were pushed by their shields touching each other, the metal rubbing between the shields, the rubbing of the shield base stuck on the ground, and the sound of being roared in unison. Zisheng, they have become the mainstream of the battlefield.

  The battle between the heavy infantry is really a wrestling of strength. They are separated from each other by a layer of shields. If they want to swing or stab their weapons, there must be room. Without space, the comparison is which side is strong enough to push each other desperately, causing the shield walls that are placed on each other to wrestle back and forth, until one of the shield walls cracks.

"...This method is a bit stupid." Ran Min can use a single-tube telescope to observe the battlefield carefully: "Our shields have interlocking devices, and they can be handled like door bolts. They are even more powerful than the enemy's shield wall. Sturdy, but is it just pushing like that..." He seemed to stop when he saw something in the middle of speaking.

This time, Shijie Zhao Jun made an unexpected move. In front of the two armies was a shield wall pushing each other, but behind them, there were soldiers climbing onto the landing ground composed of the shield wall, and they looked like they were not wearing them. The heavy armored soldiers stepped forward on their shields and jumped to the top of the Han army's shield formation. They were smashed with heavy weapons such as mace and flail.

  The Han sergeant inside the shield formation certainly noticed the situation above, and after reacting, he stabbed the spear upwards from below, regardless of whether he would hit it or not.

Li Tu doesn't have a telescope. He squinted his eyes to see the development of the battle. When his own Donggong Gaoli ran to the Han army shield formation, he still had a sense of anticipation. It was not too special to see the Han army shield array continuously stabbing spears. expression.

   Jijin originally had Donggong Gaoli here, but Shi Xuan went to Chaoge to host the battle and brought most of it.

Donggong Gaoli is a group of powerful guys from various races. They are the murderous people carefully selected by Shi Xuan~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Donggong Gaoli who tried to attack from the top, they are now facing It was a sharp spear that could be stabbed from below at any time, and it was definitely lucky to be hit on the sole of the foot, and even worse, it was stabbed to an egg.

Whether it’s the soles of the feet, legs, or eggs, Donggong Gaoli will inevitably fall when he is injured. When he falls, he will have the consciousness that his body will be smashed into rags. Their reaction is fairly rapid. After the Han army counterattacked, they gave up attacking. After retreating, I really ran back for most of the time, and some of the people who really couldn't retreat were still alive and jumped into the rolling river fiercely.

   "This trick can also be learned." Li Tan didn't know when, holding a piece of writing in his left hand and a writing brush in his right, he wrote down and said, "They have so many tricks, and they are totally worth learning."

   Ran Min seemed to make a gesture of curling his lips, without concealing his dislike: "The military combat mode of the big man has always been rigid, and it is time to try to diversify."

   "That's not what I said." Li Tan rarely refuted Ran Min, saying: "Like the Zhao Jun we are constantly fighting against, their generals don't know how much they envy the rigidity of our troops."

   "This general is not talking about discipline and toughness." Ran Min was really disgusted, and said: "This general is talking about head-to-head encounters, and fighting is the same thing that comes and goes."

   "This is..." Li Tan couldn't deny it, and said with a wry smile: "The arrow strikes, the rest rush, the others are blocked, the arrow strikes, the arrow is finished, and the rest rush. This is the trick back and forth."

   It was the first time that Ran Min heard that sentence like a tongue twister, tasted it, laughed "haha", patted his thigh and said: "With this trick, the big man has also laid a huge territory."
