There is a saying that if you don’t seek death, you won’t die.
But some people just insist on going further and further on the road of seeking death.
It's Vasily.
He was eager to capture Changshan City and gain the first victory, so he ordered all three thousand heavy-armored cavalry under his command to take off their iron armor and let the spare horses carry them on their backs, so that they could go into battle lightly and increase their marching speed.
Unexpectedly, Wei Yuntian's heavy cavalry was approaching a few miles behind him. After Zhuge Xiaosheng got the information, he immediately sent three thousand elite troops out of the city to meet the enemy, so Vasily was now surrounded.
But I still don’t know...
When a silent phalanx of three thousand pike infantry suddenly appeared on the road ahead, Vasily was really caught off guard.
Where did this soldier come from?
No matter where the soldiers are, they must be enemy soldiers!
It's definitely too late to put on armor, so just charge directly. Although they don't have heavy armor, my three thousand cavalry are still suppressive to your three thousand infantry!
Following Vasily's order, his three thousand cavalrymen swept in like a tide and rushed towards the spear phalanx with an invincible attitude!
But the spear phalanx remained motionless.
There are steel shields as tall as a person erected around the phalanx. The front part of the shield is made of three protruding spikes, and the bottom part is all deeply inserted into the ground. The soldiers behind the shield bend down and lunge to hold the shield firmly.
.
Standing behind the shield were pikemen, the low-profile ones were hook-and-scythe spearmen who specialized in hooking horses' feet, and behind them were short-sword soldiers holding sabers. In the center of the square formation were five hundred crossbowmen. When they saw the Ross cavalry,
Charge forward, the officer gives the order, and the arrows are like locusts!
If the Ross cavalry were wearing heavy armor, these bows and arrows would basically do no harm to them, but now they were lightly armed and did not even have a layer of leather armor on their bodies, so they were unable to defend themselves against bow and arrow attacks.
Before they could even get close, a large number of people and horses were shot down!
The cavalry without heavy armor is also greatly inferior in terms of impact. When it encounters the iron barrel-like shield formation, it will fall over and it will be impossible to shake it at all!
Once the cavalry charge is blocked, all the advantages instantly turn into disadvantages, because the cavalry in front cannot break through the spear formation, and the cavalry behind cannot rein in their horses at all. The result is that they are crowded in front of the formation and become crossbows.
A living target for the hands!
The pikemen stabbed hundreds of Russians under their horses with their spears. The spearmen below stabbed and cut the horses' legs. As the horses whined, they cut off many horse hooves.
son!
They heard loud shouts of killing from behind, but it was Wei Yuntian who led three thousand heavy armored cavalry who launched a fierce charge behind them!
The heavy armored cavalry basically slaughtered the unarmored cavalry, and the basis of these three thousand heavy armors is the world-famous Black Dragon Guard! Their combat power is far more powerful than these Ross cavalry
of!
After one round of attack, more than half of the poor Russian soldiers were killed, and the rest no longer dared to fight. They whistled and fled in all directions!
Five hundred musketeers suddenly appeared in the grass beside the road. They fired rapidly and knocked down a large number of the fleeing Ross cavalry.
Fortunately, they were cavalry, and their escape speed was quite fast. They were out of the range of the muskets in an instant, but the nightmare had just begun...
Because Lu Fei's Yulin Guards made a brilliant appearance at the end. They are very mobile horse archers. They quietly followed the fleeing Rus people and fired accurately with a whoosh!
There is a saying in the art of war that when shooting people, you shoot horses first, but the Habayashi brothers shot only people... Is shooting horses a skill?
Unless the opponent is a heavily armored cavalry, then you can only shoot the horse's hooves...
The cool thing about the Habayashi Guards is that they can shoot anywhere they want, and they're still on the back of a galloping horse!
The result of this battle was that all three thousand Russian cavalry from Vasily on down were annihilated, leaving no one alive!
There are two reasons. The first is that the fleeing Russian soldiers thought they could escape, so no one surrendered. As a result, they were all shot to death by the Habayashi Guards without mercy.
These brothers shot all the vital parts, either the back of the heart or the neck. There were no injured people at all, only the dead.
As for the injured Russians who fell to the ground in front of the spear phalanx, the situation was even worse. Each of them had been stabbed by at least a dozen bullets, and their bodies were covered with blood holes. There was basically no need for treatment.
The swordsmen who came out at the end, based on the principle of humanitarianism, simply gave them a happy life and cut off their heads with one knife so that they died painlessly...
In addition, you can keep your head and go back to ask for credit.
The reason is that these soldiers are basically new recruits. They are eager to kill the enemy and perform meritorious deeds. In addition, the adrenaline stimulated by the blood is soaring, so they are almost crazy in their attacks, and they have no intention of leaving any survivors... in the future.
Just get used to it slowly.
Xiao Chen and his team won a complete victory, but Qin Gang's attack was greatly hindered.
After daybreak, he formally led the army to attack the city, but he used a forced attack.
Catapults were also used at the beginning, but the walls of Shunfeng City were far stronger than those of Jinsha City, so the damage caused by catapults was extremely limited.
Qin Gang was so angry that he ordered dozens of catapults to extend their range and directly hit the facilities in Shunfeng City!
Ye Baiqing was greatly shocked and quickly dissuaded him, "General Qin Gang, this is absolutely impossible. There are nearly 100,000 people in Shunfeng City, not only the Russians, the tribesmen in northern Xinjiang, but also many of us Chinese. You are so
An indiscriminate attack will greatly harm innocent people!"
"What Mr. Ye said is absolutely true. Moreover, Shunfeng City is almost entirely filled with private houses and there are no military facilities. There is no need to attack at all. Doing so might also stimulate the opponent's fighting spirit and strengthen their determination to defend the city. This is
The gains outweigh the losses." Lin Yue was also good at persuading him.
"There are still many ancient buildings left by the previous dynasty in Shunfeng City. It would be a pity if they were accidentally destroyed. Our goal is to occupy Shunfeng City. If we destroy them too seriously, we will spend a lot of money in the future.
Gold, silver and energy repair..." Feng Tianlong also felt that Qin Gang's move was too much.
"Haha, are you teaching me how to do things?" Qin Gang didn't listen at all, and silenced the three of them with just one sentence.
Fortunately, after several rounds of attacks, the catapults basically broke down and could no longer attack. Otherwise, Qin Gang might have destroyed half of Shunfeng City!
"Huh, Xiao Chen is fooling me. What kind of crappy thing did you give me? It broke after only being used for so long!" Qin Gang was also angry with Xiao Chen, complaining that the twenty catapults he provided were not of good quality.
In fact, the dozens of catapults he brought with him have long since broken down. The catapults that he kept shooting just now were given to him by Xiao Chen. Their quality is ten times better than their own!
It would be too shameful to say this.
After all, he still didn't trust Xiao Chen.
This is really Xiao Chen's heart set on the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch...
