The large-scale shield guards held their shields diagonally with one hand and advanced rapidly forward despite the rain of Kushan arrows. Altay's head hurt just by looking at them.
"Catapult!" However, such a charge did not require the command of Altay at all. Kushan's front-line generals had already begun to counterattack. After all, the two sides had been fighting for many years, and they had seen large-scale shield guards many times.
I can’t say I’m used to it, and there’s really no pressure at all.
"Chirp~" The roar had a sharp sound, and stones weighing dozens of kilograms were thrown in the direction of the Han army's battle line, while the Han army's shield guards in the rear also picked up medium-sized crossbows and pointed them in the direction of the catapult.
When launching a counterattack, the frontal battlefield becomes extremely ferocious even before there is a fight.
"Charge!" Lu Bu took the lead and rushed directly to the small stronghold built by Guishang based on the bunker. He jumped over the horse and swept it with a halberd, directly killing the Kushan soldiers who were unable to react. But then Lu Bu faced people who shot him piecemeal from all directions.
Short spears and arrows.
With a cold expression, Lu Bu slashed his halberd at an angle, killing the Kushan soldiers surrounding him, and at the same time directly deflected all the arrows and short spears that were shooting at him.
Such an astonishing scene directly made the scalp of the Kushan centurion stationed in the bunker numb. He decisively ordered a rapid retreat based on the several mounds and trenches accumulated in the center of the stronghold. This was not an enemy that could be dealt with normally. Not only would rushing up to it not solve any problems,
It will be a waste of soldiers, retreat!
Seeing this, the guards behind Lu Bu swarmed forward, and after chasing him across the mound, they successfully bit the opponent. The Kushan soldiers who were well prepared yanked the rope hard, and the planks laid on the pit were violently impacted. It was not very good in itself.
The thick plate was broken on the spot under the weight of several shield guards.
The few guards who were rushing at the front stepped on the air and fell directly into the pit.
There were five or six muffled sounds in succession, and Lu Bu's face turned blue. It wasn't that the wooden spears in the pit were so powerful. In fact, even if the wooden spears in the pit were strengthened, they could not face the armor of the shield guards.
In fact, it is of no use.
If a thick-skinned shield guard is directly hit by a vertical wooden spear, the armor will not be penetrated by the wooden spear. However, the fact that the armor cannot be penetrated does not mean that there will be no damage. On the contrary, the shield guard who falls will basically lose it in a short time.
gained combat effectiveness.
The weight of the shield guard was too heavy for ordinary soldiers. He fell unconsciously into the pit of about three meters and was hit by a wooden spear. Each of them was comparable to being stabbed by a heavy gun at high speed, and some unlucky shield guards
When he fell to the bottom, he was not only stabbed by a wooden spear, but also severely knocked down by his comrade's weight of nearly 400 kilograms. In this case, at least he suffered internal injuries.
"Others, follow me and charge!" There was no need for Lu Bu to greet him. The first-aid soldiers rushed directly and tried to find a way to carry the injured shield guard away together. To be honest, in this case, it was quite difficult for the first-aid soldiers.
Because the injured shield guards had internal injuries, and it was difficult to carry them back.
"The offensive at the front has been contained. Altay is indeed very skilled in the defensive battle of trenches and tunnels, and the scattered mounds and bunkers make it inevitable for us to constantly divide our troops as we advance." Liu Bei said with some emotion, and he was also there.
Looking at the advance of the Han army, it is obvious that the speed cannot increase.
"His combat ideas are completely different from those of the previous generals, and the shield guard's crossbow shooting is of little significance to him." Guan Yu said calmly.
The mounds, which are larger and taller than the tombs, are basically equipped with the defensive power of ordinary rocks under the reinforcement of super-model cloud gas. These mounds are scattered in an orderly manner, causing the shield guard's crossbow to shoot flatly and inevitably shoot.
In the middle of the mound, it is difficult to pierce the enemy several times with one flat shot like before.
At present, Altay's front line is basically a war of attrition around mounds, bunkers, horsebacks, trenches, and carts, and the Han army is engaged in a war of attrition. Due to the tightness of these things, although the Han army and the Kushan army are engaged in a large-scale engagement, the engagement is still limited.
The unit is small and scattered, and it is difficult for the two teams to coordinate with each other.
Regardless of the fact that there is only a dirt bag a few meters high between them, or that it is cut in half by the pattern of the Jumajia bunker, the two sides can vaguely see each other, but if they want to intersect and cover each other like before, in this case it will inevitably cost some money.
time, making it difficult for small and medium-sized units to respond.
To be honest, if the Han army was still in the same mode as before, it would be good to fight a war comparable to urban warfare, let alone advance steadily, and it would be good not to lose. After all, in this fighting method, the defenders have built-in solid bunkers, and the terrain is
It's extremely complex, and you're familiar with the local conditions, so you'll be damned if you can fight well.
In fact, if the plains between the Ganges and the Yamuna rivers were not easily dug out of water, Altay would have added several complex battle lines such as trenches, ravines, bunkers, mounds, and horse carriages.
Through the underground passage, the position that the Han army had just penetrated could be re-captured and the Han army's front was quickly divided.
It can be said that in the disastrous terrain of Beigui, Altay really summed up a set of effective special defense tactics. At least Guan Yu was really numb when he encountered this kind of tactics for the first time.
However, in this kind of offensive and defensive battle on complex terrain, while the defender has huge advantages, it will inevitably encounter an unavoidable disadvantage, that is, this kind of terrain is only suitable for small-scale combat, and once the offensive side engages in small-scale combat, it can crush it.
game, then the defense can only lie flat.
To put it simply, it is an urban offensive and defensive battle. Since the city has crisscrossed streets, tall, solid, dense buildings, and complex underground engineering facilities, the defenders have to understand the terrain. When it is difficult to use heavy weapons, it is difficult to use light weapons to attack and defend.
Advance.
But in this case, the attacking party dispatched an exoskeleton armored corps, and it was an exoskeleton armored corps that could ignore light weapons. It was really a dimensionality reduction strike.
This is the situation Altay faced. Previously, the shield guard had to dedicate half of his soldiers to suppress the crossbow machine. However, entering this complex mound terrain greatly reduced the effectiveness of the crossbow machine shield guard. Guan Yu immediately gave up the crossbow machine suppression.
Let the shield guards resume regular tactics.
So a large number of shield guards braved the rain of arrows from Kushan and entered the complex terrain of the bunker to fight with Kushan. Entering this terrain, the rain of arrows from Kushan was also useless. Both sides could only rely on their strength to fight in this complex terrain.
Fight small-scale strangulation battles.
How should I put it? There must be Kushan soldiers who can defeat 180 shield guards in this kind of terrain, but there are no Kushan soldiers who can universally contain the shield guards in this kind of terrain. In this situation, it is basically the same as wearing a
Warriors in exoskeleton armor carry out violent crushing.
What's more important is that there are no catapults or crossbows to distract the shield guards. The shield guards only have to consider the opponents in front. As for complex terrain, one's own side is divided into small units, hahahaha, and the opposite side is also in small units.
Who is afraid of whom!
In this case, the 160 shield guard may miss. In the case of the 180 shield guard, one of our soldiers can parry five of you, and the other four outputs will be fine!
The entire complex terrain has the greatest impact on the shield guards, and the most lethal ones are not the Kushan soldiers at all, but the complex terrain built by Altay, especially the pits. The ground thorns or not have no effect on the shield guards. Anyway, you have wooden spears.
No matter how long it is warmed, unless the inner energy leaves the body and is warmed by oneself, it will definitely not be able to penetrate the armor of the shield guard. The biggest enemy of the shield guard is actually himself and his comrades.
Once he stepped into the pit and fell down with his teammates, he would definitely lose his fighting ability. It would not be a surprise if the bottom ribs were broken. Mu Yan used the Li River as a weapon to cripple Helan, whose internal energy was separated from his body.
It shows how brutal the heavy blows from super-heavy weapons are.
"This kind of environment is really suitable for me." Zhao Ying rushed forward with a broad sword in his hand, the excitement on his face was not concealed at all. He could reach the twelfth level of the title, which is the middle class, you can imagine.
He actually had the opportunity to kill hundreds of people single-handedly on the battlefield.
When following Zhang Fei to fight Macrinus in the plains, four shadow soldiers were killed by the heavy armor-piercing arrows of the Scythian Legion. Zhao Ying felt that he might have to be carried back today. As a result, as the Roman barbarians
The army fought and retreated, and entering the carefully crafted defense zone in Altay, Zhao Ying felt as if he was at home. This defense zone was perfect for him.
Because of the artificially created complex terrain, after the army entered, it was forced to be divided into small units. After each Han army unit entered the Kushan defense line, it would be further divided. This is the core of urban defense warfare, which is to rely on complex terrain to fight against enemies.
The opponent is divided.
Just like an 80km x 80km war zone on a plain, it can actually be defended quite well with 20,000 to 30,000 people. But if 20,000 to 30,000 people enter a big city, you can't tell at all. This is actually a manpower for complex terrain.
segmentation.
When fighting in this situation, many times the friendly parties are actually only separated by a few walls, or you are on this road and I am on another road. But when you encounter an opponent, it is actually difficult to help, or even
The fight on the other side has been completed, and you haven't come over from the other side yet.
Therefore, this kind of battlefield attaches great importance to the strength of small detachments, and what is outrageous about Zhao Ying is that he himself is an established Qi Lian Chenggang detachment.
Naturally, Zhao Ying fought smoothly from the beginning. With several of his subordinates and under the cover of his two shadow soldiers, in the cut-off battlefield, every time he faced only fragmented small detachments, at most less than 100,000 soldiers.
Ten people, so after charging and killing them one after another, Zhao Ying had already racked up hundreds of kills.
However, compared with Zhao Ying's success, problems gradually appeared in other parts of the Han army. Complex terrain and small detachment operations were indeed the advantages of the shield guards. But how could Altay not know this? He had prepared the secret guard hunt early.
Kill the group, targeted and strangled the Han army's single elites and the skirmishers and shield guards of less than five people.
Many skirmishing shield guards were killed by the five-man Kushan secret guard hunting group before they had time to react. Of course, there were also some Kushan secret guards who failed to select their opponents by relying on the advantageous terrain and were killed by the Han army's shield guards.
, but such a single-handed battle line cutting and targeted attack did quickly kill a group of changed shield guards.
"Order the brothers to assemble!" Mu Yan touched the incision on his neck, and the flesh burst open, almost killing him. He then looked at the fallen Kushan secret guards around him, and his eyes even showed a hint of fear.
However, he suppressed his fear in an instant and ordered the shield guards of his headquarters to assemble.
However, it is not that easy to assemble the soldiers in a place like this. From the time Mu Yan gave the order to the soldiers receiving the order, it took some time. When the soldiers gathered, they discovered the camp walls, mounds, and bunkers to be surrounded.
There are not a few who reject horses, and they cannot gather quickly.
"Bi Laoliu, go notify the general." Ma Chan covered the wound on his chest and greeted Bi Laoliu, "Let the general mobilize the elite veterans to enter. With this kind of defense line, ordinary soldiers will suffer too much, even if the shield guards fall into an ambush.
, will also die, our exchange ratio is dropping significantly."
On this kind of battlefield, there is no way to command the rear. It can only rely on the judgment of the front line and the strength of individual soldiers. The so-called urban combat will be called "battles decided by squad leaders" and "real brave men" in later generations.
fight".
Because this kind of battle focuses on small-scale independent combat capabilities and reaction capabilities, the Han army actually has little advantage over the Kushans in this aspect. As for professional hunting corps, both the Han army and the Kushan army have them.
An elite veteran, blessed by the gods and Buddhas of Nangui.
Relying on the defensive power of the shield guards, the Han army has an absolute advantage in the exchange ratio. At the very least, when the Han army's shield guards are in a group of five, they can't even face Guishang's regular secret guard hunting team.
, it is not impossible to counterattack.
But the fact that the advantage fell to this extent is enough to prove that the Han army fell into a scheme.
"So many secret guards have been wiped out?" When the elite of the Han army gave feedback to Guan Yu, Altay, who had carried out a detailed structure when setting up the defense line, had already received the feedback from his subordinates in advance, but after watching the report
Data, Altay's expression became much more cautious.
"Even if we analyze the talents of the shield guards in a targeted manner and build a professional hunting team, the effect is still not achieved. Even the secret guards may get into trouble when hunting lone shield guards." Seger.
Di replied with a cautious expression.
"We have invested so much in the secret guards, we even dissociated the gods and Buddhas, and gave them constant secret techniques to target the shield guards. That's it?" Altay frowned and asked, "The cost of the secret guards is so high that one soldier is worth one corps.
The soldiers are still built for shield guards, but the effect cannot be achieved, so what is the point of building secret guards?"
"Reduce the investment and loss of troops. If you really invest ten soldiers, you may be able to defeat one shield guard, but you may lose seven or eight in the process. But for the secret guards, the exchange ratio is much better." Szegedi said concisely and concisely.
He said, "Three or four secret guards playing one shield guard are not a big problem in this scattered battle line. As for the investment cost, it will also be reduced with the investment in technology."
Altay's face looked slightly better after hearing this. Since the investment in technology development has been reduced, that's good. If the cost is really high and the output is not yet high, what else can we do? Let's switch to other ideas as soon as possible.
