Because there was no good way to determine how Guishuang would conduct a night attack at night, and because Yu Jin also wanted to let the Han soldiers have a good night's sleep, he simply informed the surrounding shield guards to be on guard at night, and then ordered others to rest.
That’s it.
"Is the wind blowing outside?" After receiving the news, Wu Yi walked out of the camp. The night wind was not violent, but the clouds it brought covered the not-so-bright moonlight, making the entire camp even brighter.
It was dim, this situation made Wu Yi wary.
"Let the soldiers be careful and be prepared." Wu Yi greeted Meng Da, "This celestial phenomenon is not like a natural celestial phenomenon at all, so be prepared."
"It's okay. The soldiers on the perimeter didn't have any rest tonight. The logistics even gave them candies and lemons." Meng Da said, "So they are quite energetic now."
Wu Yi nodded after hearing this. As long as the shield guard is not asleep, there is basically no need to worry. Lemon and sugar can make people wake up and are very suitable for night vigils.
Speaking of which, the Wu family is currently developing lemon candies, because the candy business is now being hammered to death by the Zhen family. Naturally, the Wu family's factory is not easy to sell, and it cannot be sold to the Zhen family.
We lost, so recently the Wu family is working hard to develop super-sour lemon candies for supply to the military and to be incorporated into military logistics.
However, the problem has not been completely solved yet. The army mainly relies on lemon and sugar to solve the problem during night vigil. When you are about to fall asleep, take a bite of lemon and then eat some sugar, and you will wake up instantly.
"Strengthen patrols and don't give Kuishang any chance." Wu Yi said with great satisfaction.
Meng Da nodded, and then personally took people to check the layout of the secret sentry and the camp.
A few kilometers outside the camp, Carano used his clairvoyance to observe the Han army's camp. Unlike Huang Zhong's clairvoyance that plundered gods and Buddhas, Carano's clairvoyance was something he had practiced little by little over the years, and its tendency was very obvious.
Night vision and cloud flow.
Coupled with his own unification or conversion nature of the legion's talent, Carano's improvement over the years is not small. The so-called knowing one's shame and then being brave is nothing more than this.
"How is the situation?" Banat asked looking at Carano who had completed the observation.
"As we estimated, the camp was set up in a general way. After all, it was done in a hurry. However, the outer shield guard camps are well arranged and impossible to bypass. If we fight hard, you also know the result." Carano said slowly,
"The scale is between 30,000 and 40,000."
"Thirty thousand or forty thousand shield guards?" Banat's expression became much more solemn, but any Kushan general who had fought against the Han army would put considerable pressure on the shield guards.
"Yes, there are basically shield guards on the outside." Carano looked equally gloomy, "Get the ballistas at the rear ready, and test them in two groups."
"Isn't cloud suppression of any use to shield guards?" Banat asked Carano while instructing his soldiers to push the ballista.
"It's useful, but just like most secret arts, what's useful to them is equally useful to us, and more useful." Carano said calmly, "Speaking of which, I actually want to meet Zhang Ren again.
It’s a pity to have a fight…”
"He has been transferred, and even if he comes here, he will basically not compete with you on the front line like he did back then." Banat said with some memories.
"I completed the blessings of gods and Buddhas, the talents of the legion, and the development of secret techniques. I just wanted to fight him again, but I didn't expect that he went to Eastern Europe." Carano said with some regret.
"But you still haven't completed the merging of the legion's talents or secret techniques." Banat pointed directly to the core of the problem, "The merging of talents is a qualitative change for the legion."
Cutting off the legion's talent is actually a very difficult method. Don't look at the fact that it only took Rahul less than a day from knowing about this method to successfully merging the talent into the legion. But in fact
The barrier to entry for this is very high.
Up to now, most of the generals in the Han army have not actually completed the elimination of the legion's talents. However, from Guishang's knowledge of this concept to Rahul's successful elimination of talents, now he can be regarded as having truly completed the cultivation of talents or mental images.
The only general who merged with the legions was Oswin.
The threshold for this thing is really not low. Even if someone of Huangfusong's level teaches it, it will take a lot of time to learn it. Looking back now, Gao Lan's broken talent to strengthen the super-heavy step may not have failed.
The factors of failure are inside.
"We're still a little short of it, but we're almost there." Carano said solemnly.
"You've been saying this for several years." After all, Banat is very familiar with Carano, so it's inevitable that he would be a bit joking when talking about it.
"It's really fast this time. If I cut down the talent, the soldiers should have the ability to unify various powers." Carano said solemnly, "I have a feeling that my route this time will definitely be
is correct."
At first, Carano just wanted to cut off the talent, but he was never able to complete it. Later, when deepening his own talent, Carano realized that his legion talent actually involved the blessings and secret techniques of gods and Buddhas that he currently mastered. He actually used legion
Talent to integrate these things.
Therefore, if you want to cut down the legion's talent, you must integrate what you have mastered into a whole and cut it down together in the form of legion's talent. Only in this way can you succeed.
"Are you sure?" Banat looked at Carano, and seeing the other person's expression, he was sure he was not joking, and there was a hint of surprise on his face.
"OK." Carano nodded and said.
Ever since Zhang Ren asked him if he would admit defeat, and Carano shook his head in agreement, which was considered to be disagreement, Carano changed his habit, and his nod really meant agreement.
"Helan and the others are here too." Banat said to Carano.
"After I sent back the confirmed information, did Brahe choose plan three? It's true." Carano glanced at Helan, who was coming with his legion, with a calm expression.
"There is no way. The scale of the shield guards is larger than what we previously speculated. We can only use a more conservative plan. It is too difficult to defeat the shield guards in this kind of cloud." Banat explained, and
Carano nodded noncommittally upon hearing this.
At about a quarter of the year, gongs and drums suddenly sounded on the northwest side of the Han army camp. The shield guards on the northwest side, who were already in a depressed state because nothing had happened before, picked up their shields and stood up directly after hearing the gongs and drums.
"Smelting has swift veterans coming with me! The rest of the team is on alert." Li He raised his big shield and greeted his teammates. The hundred-man team under his command was a carefully selected imperial guard, and they were all heavy-duty shield guards.
A, but ran quite fast.
"Fortunately, the middle camp has set up a soundproof military formation. Otherwise, the soldiers would not have to sleep because of this noise. The Kushan guys are really making noise in all directions." Wu Yi was not so worried at this time. Since Kushan took action,
He doesn't have to wait all night long, he can just fight.
Sun He rushed out with the high-speed shield guard. With his high mobility, he quickly saw the Kushan soldiers holding gongs and drums in the distance.
"Quickly retreat, the other side is preparing a ballista!" Just when Li He was about to use his smelted speed to a certain level to turn into a steamroller and crush him, the veteran next to him grabbed Sun He.
At this time, the group of soldiers on the opposite side who were still beating gongs and drums quickly broke apart, and a large number of ballistae, driven by a group of seven or eight people, appeared in Sun He's dim vision.
"Disperse and retreat!" Li He greeted loudly. The shield guards were not very afraid of skirmishing, so when facing the crossbow cavalry, it was better to disperse.
Of course, when he ordered others to retreat, Li He himself faced the crossbow and prepared to parry the spears shot by the opponent's crossbow.
If it is true that ordinary shield guards cannot withstand such a blow, then as a talented shield guard, Li He can still parry the spears shot by crossbows at the current distance by relying on ricochet at a certain angle.
Arrived.
"Fire arrows!" Helan commanded his soldiers to shoot out the loaded short spears. These crossbows were war weapons specially prepared by Brahe after he found that he could not build a fortress along the Ganges River.
For a long time, Kushan did nothing.
"Bang!" With a dull resounding sound, Guishuang's crossbow shot out with a scream. The Han army's shield guards headed by Li He ran away in a hurry. There was no other way. Even if they were hit by a crossbow at such a distance, even a top-notch
The shield guards are inevitably a little weak.
Fortunately, there are only a hundred people. The hit rate of crossbows is notoriously bad. Moreover, there are only thirty or forty crossbows pushed over by Helan. Plus, it is night again, so the deterrent effect is much greater.
With substantial combat effectiveness, seeing the Han soldiers running away, Helan gave up reloading.
"Use all the crossbows together. This is one of the few weapons that can hit the Han army's shield guards." Helan greeted the guards beside him, "Don't delay."
Li He left quickly and came back quickly, so there was no loss of personnel. The shield guards who went there were all very mobile and strange creatures. One was better at running away than the other. When they saw the crossbow machine, they left quickly.
I will report back soon.
However, when Li He ran back, Wu Ban had already sent people to organize the crossbow shield guards, because some of the thirty dozen rounds fired by Helan Cavalry before fell into the Han army's camp, and there was even one
The unlucky shield guard soldier was shot, and everyone was carried to first aid.
"Crossbow machine shield guard, northwest direction, volley fire!" After Li He reported the detected intelligence to Wu Ban, Wu Ban directly ordered the crossbow machine shield guard to launch a volley fire at the same place. There is no need to aim anyway, as long as the approximate position and
The direction is no problem, just relying on the quantity will suffice.
Here, Helan was still moving his crossbows, preparing to strike a few more waves at the Han army camp. There was a scream in the sky. Compared with the sound of ordinary arrows flying at high speed, the screams of crossbow planes, etc.
When I heard it, the short spear had already fallen on my head.
Although in terms of power, the small and medium-sized crossbows used by the shield guards are definitely not as good as the large crossbows of at least several hundred kilograms used by Helan, but if they are used to hit people, they will be carried away after the hit, so there is no difference.
Therefore, the shield guard fired a covering volley, directly curbing the movement of Helan's crossbows.
Five thousand rounds were fired in each round. Although very few fell into the range of the crossbow, after the hit, the parts of the crossbow were directly blown away. Even if the Kushan soldiers who were shot were not killed directly, they would be killed soon.
Died due to excessive blood loss.
"Continue, fire six rounds of volleys!" Wu Ban ordered to the crossbow shield guard beside him. He didn't care whether the opponent could counterattack or not. He would wait until the six rounds of volleys were fired to see the situation.
Obviously, compared to the large crossbows that require several people to twist the wire to use, the crossbow shield guard's projection efficiency is very reliable. It was surprising that the six waves of Kushan were defeated before the second wave was launched.
"It looks like it's been solved. There's no one left to beat the gongs and drums." Wu Ban's six waves of crossbows were shot empty, and he asked the shield guard to continue reloading the crossbows to see if the opponent had a counterattack. After thirty seconds, he didn't wait for the opponent's crossbow.
After the blow, Wu Ban said that the opponent should be useless.
On the other side, Helan and a few soldiers hiding under the crossbow cart climbed out from under the crossbow cart. Looking at the surrounding environment where a three-foot short spear was pierced almost a few meters away, their scalps were numb. The Han army actually had
So many crossbows? No, to be precise, how did the Han army control so many crossbows so efficiently?
As for the loss of personnel, Helan looked at the situation of more than 30 crossbows around him, and basically all of them were scrapped. Of the more than 300 Kushan soldiers who used crossbows, there were only a dozen people around. As for the crossbows,
, each crossbow has at least one or two short spears stuck on it.
Unlike Zhang Yan's new shield guards who had never used crossbows, the Wu family had seen Cao Zhang's crossbow shield guards when they were with Cao Cao, and had also studied this in private. Although from the perspective of a single crossbow
Speaking from a military perspective, talking about hit rate is still nonsense, but from a military perspective, the crossbow shield guards commanded by Wu Ban can accurately launch crossbow arrows into an area of hundreds of thousands of square meters.
Although it is still a little sparse, in terms of covering firepower, it is already considered very good. Just like now, if Zhang Yan is allowed to cover these thirty-odd crossbow machines, after six waves, at least half of the people can survive.
Some of the ballistae were able to survive, but when it was replaced by Wu Ban, all the ballistae were killed, and most of the people who were left to survive found bunkers.
"You go and deal with the team on the east side. Something is not right about the night attack today." When Wu Ban stopped the crossbow attack and asked the logistics staff to replenish the short spears, another shout of kill came from the east. The sensitive Wu
Ban suddenly felt that something was not right about the situation. This situation seemed less like harassment and more like a head-on melee.
"Follow me and disperse the ballistae. You cannot use the ballistae together." Helan looked at the thirty or so useless ballistae with a thoughtful look on his face, but then he left some of his thoughts behind.
, gave the order directly to the panic-stricken soldiers who survived.
