As for the main cavalry that came to Braili to face Zhang Liao, it was even worse. It was basically equivalent to coming to Braili to drag Zhang Liao away with casualties.
There is no way, Zhang Liao, who has mastered the correct use of Wolf Cavalry, is a dimensionality reduction attack for most generals who are below a certain level.
It can be said that the entire center line has basically lost the basis for counterattack. Falgon and Barras are unable to provide barrage-level cover. Oswin is suppressed. Urdu and Laiblili are unable to counterattack. Only Jiedin and Nah are left.
The two men carried out limited attacks on the Han army's front line on the periphery.
This can be a farce. If the time drags on longer, without foreign aid, it will definitely be a death rhythm.
But the only foreign aid that can be used now is Kailash, Vanana, and Rahman. It is not that there is no reserve army, but that the reserve army does not have the ability to intervene in this kind of battlefield.
Two consecutive attacks had a great impact on Kushan's morale. Oswin, who was supposed to be an important support, was even targeted as the core attack target, causing the entire army to be in trouble.
Faced with the current situation, if you want to intervene in the battlefield instead of devoting troops to consume, you must at least have the ability to face the Han army with the morale decline buff. Generals of this level have already been involved in the battlefield in Altay before.
middle.
The remaining reserves were actually young people who were intended to be trained, but I didn't expect that after the Han army opened up the situation, it would be difficult for the reserve army to even intervene.
The legions led by these young people include many elites integrated by the Kushan royal family, but again, the young people's energy comes and goes quickly. When their morale rises, they dare to fight anything and are fearless. But now the morale
Decline and struggle with belief and will are not the strengths of young people.
Therefore, if we really want these people to lead the reserve army to rescue them, we can indeed rescue Oswin and others with their superior strength, but there will be no need to fight the subsequent war.
The current strength of the Kushan army is only slightly more than double that of the Han army. It relies on its advantages in strength, terrain, and defense to fight the Han army. Once these three advantages are broken, the death of the Kushan army will be imminent, and
Although Altay is fighting a current war, it also needs to plan for the future.
We cannot say that we will finish the battle today and do whatever we want tomorrow. Unless we have to, Altay must plan to finish the battle today without damaging the foundation, relying on the advantage of troops to switch battlefields, so that more soldiers can feel it.
Considering the cruelty of the battlefield, the soldier experience +10, many veterans with a score of 90 or above were lost, but more veterans with a score of 70~80 were born.
This is a virtuous cycle, and this is the basis for Kushan to support the Han Dynasty. If they go up to a fierce battle and block the Han Dynasty, but the soldiers are finished, as long as the Han army can launch another attack, Kushan will definitely
You can't watch the loser. Anyone can fight that kind of war.
So now we have to be patient and never send these immature seeds. There is still a long way to go from promising young generals to mature generals to generals who can bear heavy burdens.
"General, if you don't take action, our central army will collapse." Szegedi said extremely nervously. The flanks can still hold up, but the center line really can't withstand it. Xu Chu brought those super soldiers and talents to full use
After the top shield guards reached the middle line, Jiedin and Nahe were really helpless.
Originally, they could still rely on their mobility to harass, but the shield guard led by Xu Chu was a tank, and it was the kind of tank used to fight light infantry. Kushan had no way to stop it. The attack could not break through the defense at all, and the defense could not parry the opponent's attack.
.
Even if you don't have talent, ordinary elites cannot parry the slashes of the Hundred-jin Horse Sword. Coupled with the problem of the strength of Kushan weapons, even the Paduo Army, led by Natala, can parry it with a shield.
This kind of attack may also cause the shield to deform, the impact to be too heavy, and the soldiers to be unable to withstand the force, resulting in direct fractures of muscles and bones.
And this is not the worst. What is really bad is the other infantrymen who are not Paduo warriors. Those soldiers are not qualified to parry this kind of attack and can only dodge, because they can't solve any problem by using weapons to parry.
Just cut the weapon in half.
But the current situation is a strangulation battle on a large battlefield. Both sides are facing the enemy in formation. There is no room for dodge in the dense strangulation battlefield. Once the dodge line is directly penetrated, what is the point of defense?
Compared with the elegant penetration ability shown by the Wolf Riders, the shield guards led by Xu Chu showed their brutal crushing ability, bloody and violent, but full of the terror of power.
As a result, Xu Chu personally led his army into the center line. After the soldiers on the Kushan center line realized that this thing was invincible, the battle line began to collapse naturally.
What is an opponent? Only opponents of the same level are called opponents. This kind of legion that can neither break through defenses nor deal with it, and whose own lethality is off the charts, is nothing like an opponent.
Originally, Falgon and Barras could have suppressed Xu Chu's army if they had not suffered heavy losses. However, after Guan Yu ordered Huang Zhong to take away Guishang's archer army at any cost and strangled them with Duizi, Guishang
Although there are still remaining archers, the top archers like Falgon and Barras who can carry out suppressive orders have been destroyed as an establishment.
As a result, although Kuishang is still providing arrow rain suppression, this arrow rain is better than nothing. At least, the effect on the shield guards is zero.
It can be said that on the entire Kushan front, except for the Scythian archers led by Maximin who are still playing a role, the other archers are all added to the battle.
In particular, Falgon and Barras had basically no fighting power. After Huang Zhong and his men suffered more than 4,000 casualties, they took away more than 70% of Falgon and Barras' men.
Although in terms of exchange ratio, it is far lower than the exchange ratio between the top legions of the Han Army and Kushan, but it is of great significance to other legions. At least without Falgon and Barras causing trouble, the performance of the Han Army has changed.
It's much smoother.
Although those two things are still organizing archers to counterattack, the significance of ordinary archers to the Han army's shield guards is basically meaningless.
Similarly, regiments such as Wolf Cavalry, Red Blood Cavalry, and Yuyang Cavalry, which were easily suppressed by arrows, were able to fully let go and stab at the Kushan front. As a result, the Kushan front was barely able to support it.
It is developing directly in a dangerous direction.
"Is your reaction so slow?" After Macrinus forced Zhang Fei back, he looked at Zhang Fei with a strange expression and said, "It has taken so long to receive the information, but you still haven't responded? It seems that your speed of transmitting information was not very fast before.
Is it fast?"
Zhang Fei said nothing and continued to attack. He was also surprised. Guan Yu should have received information from Zhang Fei before the whole army launched a counterattack. However, the battle line has not changed yet. Zhang Fei did not believe that his second brother did not know.
Severity.
Compared with the victory on the main battlefield, Chen Xi's failure is the biggest victory. There is no need to compare which is more important. The temporary victory or defeat here is not important at all. With the resources that Chen Xi continuously transports, victory or defeat is only a matter of time.
But without Chen Xi, we won’t be able to win!
"It seems that your camp is not very important. This is an oversight on my part." Macrinus relied on his personal guards to parry Zhang Fei's headquarters, and then slowly retreated. Altay's order came. Since he was doing things with money, then
You have to do something serious.
"Attack." Macrinus directly ordered the slave emperor Maximinus in the official history to lead the Balearic slingers and the unique European spearmen to assist the center line, and asked Maximin not to waste bows and arrows on the Huangzhong front.
, but to provide barrage cover for the center line.
This adjustment worked quickly. The offensive of the Wolf Cavalry, Red Blood Cavalry, and School Swordsman in the middle line suddenly slowed down. After all, these three things are assault cavalry and do not have strong defense capabilities against bows and arrows. Facing barrage level
With the suppression of bows and arrows, it is almost inevitable that the offensive will slow down.
However, Huang Zhong gave up the suppression of Huang Zhong's front. Huang Zhong, who had regained his composure, quickly organized his troops to suppress the Scythian front led by Maximin with arrows. However, Maximin was far more ruthless than other generals and fought hard.
The archers suppressed the Han army, giving Maximinus the opportunity to storm the center line of the Han army and force it to return for reinforcements.
"Throw the spear!" Maximinus ordered loudly when he rushed to the Han army more than ten steps away. To be honest, facing the shield guard, even Maximinus felt a thump in his heart. There was nothing he could do about this thing.
The defense ability is really outrageous.
Relying on the instant explosion of power, the Balearic slingers picked up the pound of short spears they were equipped with and threw them fiercely towards the shield guards in front. There was a dull continuous sound, and the short spears burst out, some
The shields of the shield guards flew away, and some were nailed to the shields, but there were only a few short spears that actually killed the shield guards, and this was already a very high-end mid-range attack mode.
Instant explosion of power and integration of power. The combination of these two talents allows the Balearic slingers to explode with power beyond their own limits in an instant, and the speed of throwing spears is almost as fast as the arrow stall speed of top archers, which is comparable to
Compared with the weight of the arrow lost, the thrown spear is ten times the weight of the arrow lost, and the natural power is ten times that of the opponent.
Even though it can only guarantee such terrifying power at close range due to lack of other talent maintenance, it is definitely one of the top mid- and short-range killing abilities.
However, even so, facing the defensive capabilities of the Shield Guards that are comparable to the Wall of Sighs, the Balearic Slingers are basically unable to exert much effect.
Of course, it's not a lack of power, but a problem with the quality of the equipment. If the short spears of the Balearic slingers are replaced by the nickel steel three-edged bayonet with a full steel tip produced by Chen Xi, it is quite possible to operate at this distance.
Penetrates the shield and armor of a normal shield guard.
It's a pity that although Kushan provided this group of people with reliable weapons and equipment, the short spears used for projection are mainly made of iron-clad wood. To ordinary opponents, this thing is no different from a real steel gun head.
, but for the shield guards who can catch it, the gap is huge.
As long as many spears are slightly skewed, they will be directly deflected when they hit the smooth shield surface. Those that can really stick on the shield basically require that they be almost straight with the shield surface when they hit. Such a requirement
It is difficult to achieve on a chaotic battlefield.
If you want to effectively hit the shield guard, realistically speaking, an all-steel spear head is the most reliable and effective solution. However, it is impossible for Kushan to provide a short spear with an all-Utz steel spear head, which can be made into a
Bao Tiemu already relied on the Balearic slinger's combat effectiveness.
"Pikemen attack!" Maximinus looked calmly as he watched this scene, with almost no change in his expression. For him, such a result was expected.
The Balearic slingers rely on the instant explosion of strength and the integration of strength to throw the spear. It is definitely a first-class powerful attack in other places, but when facing the shield guard, Maximinus positioned it as a battle line from the beginning.
Use attacks to suppress and contain.
Although he had some other ideas before taking action, when he actually took action, the fact was before him. He thought too much about penetrating the shield guard, and it was not easy to penetrate the shield.
So if you want to fight shield guards, you have to rely on other means. I'm afraid it's not possible to rely on Balearic slingers. This thing is still reliable when used to fight other types of troops. It's better to save money on things like shield guards.
.
Shield Guards are a unit with low lethality and attack capabilities among mainstream legions, but their defensive capabilities can definitely rank among the top legions.
To be precise, most of the top legions may not have the defensive capabilities of conventional shield guards. For example, legions such as the School Swordsman, Wolf Cavalry, and Holy Death Cavalry have a defensive power inferior to that of shield guards.
Fortunately, Macrinus had discussed how to face the shield guards with his two brothers, and selected suitable elites among the barbarians under his command, and spread them to a certain extent. Now it is time to test
Already.
Under the command of Maximinus, the Roman barbarians who used super spears more than two feet long smashed them hard when the shield guards rushed six or seven meters away from them. These were soaked in oil and strengthened.
The tough spear exerted an astonishing effect at this moment.
As the Roman barbarians swung, the six- to seven-meter long spear was thrown into an arc and slammed down with a roar. Xu Ding, who led the soldiers to block the attack, felt uneasy just by hearing the whistle.
Wonderful, fortunately, the centurions on the front line immediately ordered the soldiers to raise their shields for defense.
"Winter!" There was a muffled sound, and the shield held high was hit by the spear head. The soldier holding the shield felt tight in his chest and almost vomited out a mouthful of blood.
"Fire up your bows and arrows!" the centurion gave the command immediately after seeing this scene.
Half of the immortal veterans recruited by Liu Bei were invested in these main battle legions as backbone centurions. These people had experienced hundreds of battles and had small-scale command and coordination capabilities, which greatly strengthened the battlefield response capabilities and front-line capabilities of the backbone legions.
Breakthrough ability.
"Combining the heavy weapon strike type talent and the long-range penetration type talent, non-penetrating shock, use bows and arrows!" The frontline centenarian quickly integrated the information and passed it on.
