About ten or twenty minutes before Liu Qi climbed to the top of the mountain, the changes on the battlefield had already made Kuai Qi somewhat uncontrollable.
Xu Huang's soldiers had the upper hand on the battlefield, and this so-called advantage was the initiative on the battlefield. If they wanted to fight, they would fight. If they wanted to retreat, they would retreat. The soldiers advanced and retreated in a coordinated manner, and the formation was complete.
On the other hand, Jingzhou soldiers may have been doomed to a passive situation from the moment they disembarked from the ship and landed ashore.
Xu Huang mobilized the ranks of soldiers and asked the soldiers to move forward in turn to replace the soldiers whose strength had weakened at the front. As they advanced and retreated, the effect of full training was fully demonstrated. Many Jingzhou soldiers wanted to retreat.
Xu Huang's front line wanted to take advantage of it, but his head was bruised and bloody by the shield of the next batch of Xu Huang's soldiers.
It's like a large-scale parade performance in the square. A layman can see the queues crisscrossing and changing, advancing and retreating freely, as if they are flowing freely. Some gangsters will think that this is nothing special, and it's just a different way to go.
Position, but when soldiers with insufficient training are actually allowed to perform such operations, they will often bump into each other due to lack of coordination.
Pushing forward, the interlocking teeth of Xu Huang's soldiers were like the teeth of a hair clipper, shaving off many Jingzhou soldiers. However, the lethality of Jingzhou soldiers against Xu Huang's men was limited by good cooperation.
They were scattered a lot, and almost three or five Jingzhou soldiers fell before they saw one Xu Huang soldier who was injured or dead.
Of course, some of them were casualties caused by the shooting of Kuai Qi's archers. Although as time went by, when the arrows of Xu Huang's archers were exhausted, Kuai Qi's archers
It also consumed a lot of energy, and the shooting frequency also dropped. However, such a battle damage ratio also made Xu Huang a little dissatisfied.
The charging tank is full, it’s time to use a big move...
"Let the crossbowmen come forward and prepare to shoot!" Xu Huang ordered, telling the guards on the side.
Although the crossbow is powerful, it is much heavier than a bow and arrow and is inconvenient to carry. Moreover, because the crossbow arrow does not have a long tail feather like a bow and arrow, its speed decays quickly. The lethality of the general crossbow at the end of the range is
It is not as good as ordinary bows and arrows, so Xu Huang does not bring many crossbowmen, but only as a supplement to a certain number of soldiers.
However, when the two sides are very close to each other, the power of the crossbow can be perfectly displayed...
"Mountains! Mountains!"
A dozen soldiers with loud voices who were responsible for delivering military orders shouted in unison, and the sound reached the ears of everyone at the head and tail of the line.
"Ha!" The swordsmen and shieldmen responded in unison, and then they were ready to listen to the instructions while fighting.
"Mountain! Mountain! Retreat!"
"Hey!" The sword and shield player in the front row lowered his shoulders, leaned on the large shield that was almost as tall as a person, slammed forward, then pushed hard, and quickly took two steps back with the reaction force of the squeeze.
Some with quick hands can even stab the edge of the shield with a knife, then retreat immediately, put away a shield by another person, and walk backwards.
The Jingzhou soldiers who were pushed a little staggered by the sword and shield hand suddenly felt that their front was empty, so they roared subconsciously and chased after them while waving their swords and guns.
"Strong wind! Start!"
The crossbowmen stood out from the gap between the sword and shield men. One squatted down and the other stood upright, leveling the crossbow that had been strung.
"shoot!"
There was almost no interval before the order to fire was passed on.
Under the hanging knife board, the crossbow bolts roared out!
Some of the Jingzhou soldiers who reacted quickly hid their heads and faces behind their shields in horror, while more Jingzhou soldiers were still waving their swords and guns. They could only act indifferently or widen their eyes, or close their eyes and say something.
Unconscious screams...
Regarding General Zhengxi's consistent weapon standards, a strong crossbow basically starts with at least three stones, and four stones is considered normal. And at a distance of less than ten steps, the huge power contained in the crossbow arrows can easily tear through the shooting line.
Everything on it!
Shield, shield shattered!
The cowhide covering the shield was penetrated by the sharp crossbow bolt, and the sawdust behind the cowhide flew everywhere. The Jingzhou soldier who was hiding behind the shield with his head shrunk, only saw a sudden light in front of him at the last moment of his life.
Suddenly it went dark...
Armor, armor collapsed!
No matter whether you are wearing leather armor or zhao armor, you can't resist the crossbow arrows. The crossbow arrows that penetrate a layer of armor are not fully powerful and often fall backwards with the human body. Some crossbow arrows even keep throwing away.
It pierced the second Jingzhou soldier! The blood boiling in the Jingzhou soldier's body due to the fighting found a way to vent, and sprayed out blood mist all over the sky...
Strong crossbow!
It's a powerful crossbow!
Regarding crossbows, the Jingzhou soldiers were not ignorant. Suddenly they found that their lives were exposed to a powerful crossbow within such a short distance. They immediately shuddered, thinking that they might be directly hit by a powerful crossbow in the next moment.
After being harvested and taken away, an inexplicable fear suddenly spread. Even though the crossbowmen brought by Xu Huang had already fired a wave and had not yet been cocked, the Jingzhou soldiers were still trembling and hesitant, as if
Facing the black muzzle of the gun, although it was not clear whether there were bullets loaded in it, no one dared to step forward easily and test their lives.
Even the Jingzhou soldiers who were next to the unlucky ones who had been hit by arrows but were not dead yet almost instinctively took a step aside and watched in horror as their former comrades fell to the ground, moaning and screaming, with pale faces.
Bai, it was as if he was the one who fell to the ground.
The gurgling blood, following wounds large or small, gushes out and flows happily, soaking the land and dyeing the yellow sand red. The thirsty rocks and sands swallow the blood in big mouths and spit bubbles happily.
Bubble.
Kuai Qi, who was commanding and watching the battle from a distance, was also horrified, but after all, the distance was far away. When he was blown by the cold wind of Han River, he suddenly became excited and shouted at the top of his voice: "Kill, kill! Kill quickly!"
The power of the crossbow is huge, but the problem is that the winding speed is much slower than that of a bow and arrow, so the gap between shots is the biggest opportunity to attack. If you don't step forward at this time, do you still have to wait for the opponent's crossbow to have a good string, and then do another attack?
Wave?
The Jingzhou soldiers immediately understood after receiving the order. It would be safer to rush forward and fight with Xu Huang's men. If they stayed where they were, they would only become the enemy's target. If they turned around and ran away, it would be a dead end.
One, even if he could escape the pursuit of these powerful crossbows, could he still escape the sword of Kuai Qidu's team that killed the deserters when they reached the shore?
"kill"
With no way to retreat, the Jingzhou soldiers mustered up their courage and rushed towards Xu Huang and others.
Normally, there is no problem with Kuai Qi's thinking and the correct strategy, but what he encountered now was not an ordinary army, but after a long period of continuous fighting, and at the same time, General Fei Qian of the Conquest of the West
With the blessing of sophisticated equipment and the joint wisdom of many generals in the Jiangwu Hall, such an army was created!
Xu Huang came from Longyou. In order to prevent himself from being marginalized, he took the initiative to find General Zhengxi and dedicated himself... ahem, his martial arts talents to form a heavily armed battle ax army.
.
On the battlefield, a single unit of arms is certainly the favorite of beginner game players, but in reality, only mixed units can cope with various terrains and handle different emergencies.
Originally, in the series of military units in the Zhengxi War, the only heavy armored soldiers belonged to Fei Qian personally, the heavy armored soldiers led by Wei Du, but there was no unified heavy infantry near the generals at the lower level. Xu Huang's heavy armored soldiers
Equipping axemen completes this link.
The axe naturally has lower technical requirements than the Mo Dao. At the same time, there are many strong men in Xiliang and the north. In addition, the food for the soldiers has been improved during the expedition to the west. In terms of the strength of the soldiers, it can be regarded as a considerable improvement.
The level is high, so when this heavy-armed axemen was assembled, it did not encounter much difficulty.
Of course, the most outstanding ones are still the axemen who followed Xu Huang, who took longer to train and trained more intensively. After putting on the heavy armor of the Mo Daobing soldiers, although after all, the load is extremely high, in terms of endurance,
It is inferior to ordinary soldiers and has poor endurance, but its short-term explosive power on the battlefield is at the level of a king on the earth, one of the best.
In order to squeeze the firing area of the strong crossbow and avoid the next round of shots from the strong crossbow, the Jingzhou soldiers rushed forward without any formation, but they bumped into more than ten heavy soldiers who rushed out from behind the strong crossbowmen.
Pretend to be the tomahawk man!
Have you ever seen a meat grinder?
That's pretty much it.
A battle ax made of fine steel costs iron and steel. In addition to costing money, ahem, Fei Qian, the prince can use it to fight fifty spearmen, and even mix it with molten iron to make more.
The amount of steel equal to the number of gun heads is all used on one soldier?
But the effect is really good!
When the huge battle ax is swung, no matter whether it is a spear, a sword, a wooden shield or a leather shield, it cannot be held up or blocked. In the least case, the bones will be broken, the tendons will be broken, and in the worst case, the limbs will be separated!
If the Mo Dao is used improperly, it may cut off the edge or even break the blade, but there is no need to worry about this problem with the tomahawk. Even if the edge of the tomahawk is extremely blunt, it will not stop swinging and spinning.
, there is no cutting damage, but there is still a blunt weapon bonus. Even if it cannot break armor, a blow through the armor will still be seriously injured, and you will not be able to fight again.
The roar of the battle ax, accompanied by screams and flying limbs and heads, scattered blood and broken pieces of bone and flesh. The forward of the Jingzhou soldiers was like meat strips stuffed into a meat grinder, and it was smashed into pieces!
In just thirty or forty breaths, the heavy-armed battle axe soldiers who rushed into the crowd of Jingzhou soldiers swept away a large area of empty space, and in this neutral area, it was like a Shura field, and no one could be found.
Several corpses are still intact...
Almost all the Jingzhou soldiers were frightened, even the archers standing far away. Some of them had just drawn their bows. Seeing such a situation, their legs, feet and arms suddenly became weak with fright, and then the arrows "squeaked"
With a sound, I ran away to play without knowing where...
Put yourself in someone else's shoes and find yourself standing next to a meat grinder, and then watching helplessly the person in front of you being torn apart by the meat grinder. Even leaving a whole body depends on luck, even if there is no such thing as a rabbit or a fox.
His emotions were unavoidable, and his morale was completely shattered.
Xu Huang wasted no time in ordering the soldiers to use full firepower and charged straight at the Jingzhou soldiers. The demoralized Jingzhou soldiers turned around and ran away with the first frightened soldier. They turned into a large group and eventually collapsed across the board.
Kuai Qi's personal guards, who were supervising the battle at the rear, were either tied up, or after several of them were cut down, they were stabbed over by unknown deserters who were red-eyed. They could not stop them. With a crash, the army was defeated like a mountain.
Even in the era of hot weapons, the morale of the troops is still a very critical factor in victory. After experiencing the attack of powerful crossbows, and suddenly encountering heavy-armed ax soldiers, the Jingzhou soldiers, if there is a long enough battlefield distance,
Maybe after retreating to a certain level, he would be able to regain his sanity and then return to the battle. But the problem is that Kuai Qi's overall space is insufficient, and he retreated to the bank of the Han River...
Some of the panicked soldiers stepped on the pedals and ran to the boat. Some even jumped into the river eagerly, grabbed the ropes and other things on the side of the boat and climbed up. There were more who were so crowded that they rushed in involuntarily.
In the Han River, it was carried by the current and fell down, then floated or sank and drifted down.
The helpless Kuai Qi screamed and roared, but after a moment it turned into a howl. Finally, she shook twice, her eyesight went black, she fell down with a "thud", and almost fell off the boat. The guards who stayed with Kuai Qi
They were so frightened that they gave orders repeatedly to pull out the anchor, and did not even care about the other Jingzhou soldiers who were driven from the river bank.
In terms of direct casualties, I am afraid that the Jingzhou soldiers only lost one or two floors in the battle. However, in the process of escaping, the casualties caused by trampling on each other, being jammed, and even falling into the Han River accounted for half of the total number of soldiers.
about!
On the other side, Liu Qi's troops, who had just worked hard to climb up the ridge and were happily preparing to join forces with Kuai Qi to attack Xu Huang, saw this scene...
On the banks of the Han River, the Jingzhou soldiers were like a herd of unarmed sheep. They only knew how to bury their heads, stick their butts out, and bleat as they were chased and chased away and fled in all directions!
What about the promised attack from both sides?
What about the planned defeat of Xu Huang?
How on earth can four be so fat as four!?
Liu Qi only had these few questions left in his mind, and the rest was blank.
Xu Huang also noticed the changes on the ridge and couldn't help but laugh. Then he waved to the ridge and shouted: "That kid, come down and fight!"
The guards around Xu Huang also slapped their weapons and shouted: "Come! Let's fight!"
Immediately, more soldiers from Zhengxi shouted loudly: "Come to fight! Come to fight!"
The call for battle even once covered up the screams of Jingzhou soldiers being chased, rolling over the valleys and rivers like muffled thunder...
"Young Master..." Guard Liu Qi whispered timidly, "We..."
"Let's go! Let's go!" Without saying a word, Liu Qi turned around and left. In a panic, he stepped on the air and slid down a long way. He screamed and hit a tree trunk with a "dong" sound before he stopped.
He fell down and fainted with a "ouch" sound.
"Grain smash!"
Guard Liu Qi was so frightened that his voice changed. He rushed forward in a hurry, then lifted up the unconscious Liu Qi and fled down the mountain...
