Chapter 2681: The First Battle of the Shield Guards
"What's there to say? Our positioning itself is to attract the opponent's attack and contain the opponent's energy." Naresh crossed his arms and said, "Now it would be good if we could divide part of the opponent's main force."
"Then let's fight freely, Vikas. With the blessing of your gods and Buddhas, you can complete the synchronization in a short period of time. I will leave it to you to maintain the rear army. It doesn't matter whether you win or not. Durga's strategy is
The real goal." Miranda turned to Vikas and said.
The more steps a plan requires to complete, the more likely it is to fail. Durga's method has greatly simplified the difficulty of executing this plan.
Although a large part of this is due to the Han Dynasty's lack of understanding of the overall situation in Kushan, war never talks about these things. To survive, it is the opponent who fights the war. Durga's plan can be regarded as an alternative to oneself.
Use your strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses.
"Okay, although I am very helpless, I finally transferred to the Navy and served as a captain in Gacholi for a while, but now I have been transferred back. After I was transferred back, I have to give
You do odd jobs." Vikas said angrily.
Although Vikas' words were full of resentment, considering the importance of this battle, Vikas still followed Miranda's order to defend the rear, even though the three of them were actually at the same level, and although Miranda was the coach
, but he does not have the qualifications to truly command the other two.
After all, after such a long time, Vikas has figured out his position. Defending the rear army is indeed the most suitable position for him. His ability can stabilize the situation of the army in a short period of time.
"You are on the left and I am on the right, the main force is in the front, and the auxiliary troops are in the back. Don't make any reservations. If you can hurt the opponent, hit the opponent hard. If it can't hurt, the auxiliary troops will stay behind and merge with the rear army and Vikas.
Let’s fight together and then retreat.” After seeing Vikas agreeing, Miranda said calmly.
"Okay, this way I can feel more at ease. If the other party has the power to push us, just like Zhang Ren, we can retreat directly." Vikas warned, "Our goal is not to fight them desperately and contain their energy.
That’s it.”
"Don't worry, don't worry, we are not stupid either. Durga made it very clear that in a war of attrition, dragging the opponent to death is the only way to win steadily." Miranda said with a smile, "We will definitely win, not to mention
I don’t want to die at all.”
"Commander, it seems we don't need your assistance much anymore." Yu Jin suddenly said to Guo Jia, looking at the Kushan Army coming under pressure from afar.
Originally, when he heard that 60,000 to 70,000 people were coming from here, Yu Jin was a little worried. After all, Kushan was also an empire, and Guan Yu also told some mind-numbing facts.
Therefore, Yu Jin thought that the main soldiers of Guishang should not be too far behind. The result is that seeing it is worse than hearing it. I won’t talk about it elsewhere. Based on what Yu Jin sees now, these 60,000 people are really
Nothing to worry about.
The pace was scattered, the flags were inconsistent, and the equipment of the soldiers was not very good. Moreover, from a distance, the army did not have the sense of strict unity, but instead gave people a sense of fragmentation. Just based on the strength of the army,
It seems that Yu Jin said that he will definitely win the battle.
As a master of military training, a master of military training who has truly stepped onto the stage, Yu Jin can really judge the quality of his soldiers and the overall level of the legion with his eyes.
This regiment is arranged in such a way that the teams are scattered but the quality of the soldiers is not bad, so the available tactics combined with the terrain of the plains will probably only lead to chaos.
The problem is that Yu Jin is afraid of this? It’s a joke. Do you still remember what the elite talents of my army are? Do you still remember what the elite talents of the soldiers I command are? Do you still remember what Yu Jin has been training? Dare to fight randomly?
Luan, I will hammer you to death here today.
"Huh?" Guo Jia looked at Yu Jin in confusion. He had never seen Yu Jin so crazy before.
"Wait and see, strategist!" Yu Jin said with a chuckle, "Sun Guan, mobilize the shield guards to concentrate and prepare to break the formation head-on and tear apart the opponent's formation. The five armies of our own will fight in chaos to break the formation!"
Along with Yu Jin's orders and Yu Jin's brisk and rhythmic command movements, the originally neat Han army's wild goose formation was changed by Yu Jin into jagged fragments like scattered stars, but there was something inexplicable about it.
A strange formation with a sense of patchwork.
"What formation is this?" Guo Jia looked at the changes in the clouds. There was a slight charm in the chaos. As for the effect of the blessing, Guo Jia had some inexplicable guesses.
"I don't know what the formation is. To be honest, I don't understand the formation. I also went to learn the so-called Xuanxiang Ancient Formation, but I found that I couldn't learn it with my qualifications." Yu Jin couldn't express his desolation.
He still smiled helplessly, but then his expression returned to his normal determination, "But I know what I need!"
"The main effect of this military formation, combined with the soldiers below, should be to dispel organizational power." Guo Jia felt it for a while and asked with speculation.
"Probably, I don't understand anyway, but judging from my long-term experiments, this formation is most suitable for me, well, it is also suitable for my army." Yu Jin shook his head, what is the formation?
He really doesn't understand, but he understands what he wants, "Okay, they are here."
Seeing the changes in the atmosphere of the Han army on the opposite side, Midalan and Naresh both activated their divine blessings, respectively strengthening the assault ability of their soldiers and their ability to grasp the surrounding environment.
If anything, these two blessing abilities of gods and Buddhas are quite good blessing effects. If replaced by the legion talent of the Han army, the former is used to lead assault cavalry or formation-breaking infantry. As long as it is developed to a certain extent, it is definitely not weak.
.
The latter is actually a weakened danger perception coupled with an overall enhancement of reaction and response. This talent effect has a considerable bonus when fighting a protracted war.
It can be said that they are all very powerful blessing effects, but how can I put it, no matter how good the talent is, it depends on who uses it. The Kushan Gods and Buddhas visualization system, the blessings of Gods and Buddhas formed by it are nothing more than the visualization of Gods and Buddhas.
A more special additional effect.
On the one hand, whether this ability can be developed to its limit is still open to question. On the other hand, Kushan's blessings from gods and Buddhas are essentially not his own power from origin, so how can he push it to its limit?
But no matter what, Miranda and Naresh unfolded their divine blessings, which meant the beginning of the entire army's assault.
"Charge!" No need for too many words or other descriptions. The Kushan soldiers roared and charged towards the Han army. For a time, with the blessing of gods and Buddhas, their momentum was like a rainbow.
"It still looks like that." Yu Jin raised the corner of his mouth, looked at Guishang with a little arrogance and sneered, "It's just like this, then go to hell! Charge the whole army!"
Yu Jin furiously ordered that the scouts sent out previously had determined that there were no other Kushan reinforcements within a forty-mile radius. In this case, there was no need to hold back at all. The limit of the scouts' reconnaissance meant that no large army could reach them within two hours.
Rush over here.
This is the Ganges Plain, but the environment here is destined to prevent the use of cavalry. This is a battlefield for infantry, and there are only two hours. Rear, hold back? What a joke!
Those means are just to guard against the opponent's backhand. With the opponent's military strength, as long as I can destroy it, there will be no need for any backhand. And Yu Jin has such confidence.
Miranda and Naresh were stunned for a moment when they saw the Han army charging forward without leaving any reserves, but then they laughed wildly. Unexpectedly, they met a madman!
The Kushans have led an army of more than 60,000 people here. If they go head-to-head, they will definitely be worthy of it and hold off their opponents. Hahaha, maybe they can take advantage of this wave.
Following Yu Jin's order, the five thousand shield guards led by Sun Guan rushed directly to the front line. The strong defense of the shield guards gave them absolute confidence, and their origins in Jingling Guards made each of them an expert.
After hundreds of battles.
One hundred and fifty steps, one hundred steps, the distance between the two sides quickly narrowed, and until the distance was eighty steps, the archers of the Imperial Army released the bowstrings of their big yellow bows at the moment they took a step forward, and
The same is true for the experienced soldiers in Kushan.
However, it was just a wave of arrows, but it clearly showed the difference in the quality of the soldiers on both sides. Although the Han army also used bows and arrows, the Han army's arrows were almost sent out in one wave, and the arrow rain formed was also
It's dense and not messy at all.
Although the Kushans also shot in this way, the rain of arrows from the Kushans was not at the same time. The time gap between them made it possible for their arrows to be dodged.
"Fire arrows!" Yu Jin commanded his soldiers to fire three waves of fire before the battle with a calm expression. As for Kushan's rain of arrows, they had basically been attracted by the shield guards charging at the front. As one of the strongest infantrymen of his generation,
, the shield guard lowered his head and pushed forward.
"Leap up!" Thirty steps, twenty steps, ten steps, the soldiers on both sides could almost see the clear expressions on the faces of the other side's soldiers. Yu Jin, who had been suppressing no expression, ordered immediately, and all the shields
The guard suddenly jumped up and stood directly on the thigh-high bush.
Their elite talent is enough to allow them to walk on the water, disperse their weight on the shrubs, rush over the shrubs, etc. Yu Ban has already verified them before. It is very simple to do it, that is to say
, their terrain is no obstacle to them.
The shield guards who jumped onto the bushes didn't care about the shock in the eyes of the Kushan soldiers. They had experienced many battles and knew what they should do most at this time. They picked up the big shield with their left hand and swung the saber with their right hand, and headed towards
Cut it off diagonally downward.
The height difference between adults and children was almost the same, allowing them to easily slash the necks of the Kushan soldiers with their swords.
The excellent viewing angle, the full-body steel armor, and the same height difference between cavalry and infantry allowed the shield guards carrying large shields to easily attack more than five Kushan soldiers.
As for how such an obviously erected shield wall attracts firepower, the huge shield of the shield guard can clearly tell the opponent that an attack of the level of a crossbow can be carried without any damage.
Steel plates can also be carried without any damage.
In such a situation where the opponent's long-range attacks can be almost ignored, the top veteran has really shown his due level, performing a slaying sword dance, with no unnecessary movements, basically a single blow to the vital point, and the attack position is almost the same.
It's the neck and head.
In response to the opponent's attack, directly press down on the large shield. With the actual weight of the large shield weighing more than 100 kilograms, as long as the force is pressed down, it is enough to cause fatal damage to the opponent.
After all, the weapons these people used casually were all heavy weapons in the true sense. When the Kushan Legion led by Sun Guan's shield guards encountered them, they were like dough being hit by a sledgehammer, and they were dented in an instant.
"Hahaha, go to hell, go to hell!" Among the Jingling Guards, there are also those veterans who are too lazy to farm and are born to go to the battlefield. They have been restrained for several years, although they are constantly strengthening their own qualities.
, but blood and murderous intent can give them the real feeling that they are still alive.
The shield guards who understood what qualities they possessed quickly developed suitable tactics based on their experience in hundreds of battles.
As the first veteran hung his sword behind his back, he briefly released the second elite talent, jumped down from the bush, and used his terrifying weight to directly trample several Guishuang soldiers to pieces.
More shield guards gave up cumbersome weapons such as swords and swords, and held large shields with both hands. They roared and rushed forward. Regardless of the swords, guns, swords and spears, the steel locust wood shields were enough to provide a terrifying defense.
, and combined with the weight of the armor, which exceeds 400 kilograms, and the terrifying impact speed, it is enough to knock down the opponent in an instant.
And if you step on the steel-covered cowhide boots, the opponent's tendons will be broken.
Compared with the long weapon like the sword, which is used against cavalry, it is almost impossible for infantry to break their own defenses as long as they are careful enough. Using long weapons is troublesome. You can hide behind the shield and bump into it directly, bullying yourself.
However, it is enough to kill the opponent with melee combat.
As for weapons, their own weight, the hand halberd for cutting meat, and the opponent's short spear are all good.
Relying on a powerful defense that was almost beyond the comprehension of the Kushan people, Sun Guan led the shield guards and beat the regular soldiers led by Miranda to half death. Even Miranda himself almost fell into the siege of the shield guards.
"Hey!" Naresh slashed at the head of the Han army's shield guard with his long sword. He saw the opponent bending slightly to dodge his attack, then shrank and hid behind the shield, and rushed towards him.
, as the terrifying instinct of internal energy leaving the body, he slashed it with his backhand. As a result, the sparks that exploded from the shield surface at the next moment made Naresh feel what it means to feel chilled.
The shield guard who blocked Naresh's attack suddenly exerted force, preparing to overturn the opponent's carelessness. The teammates around him had already taken out their short melee spears, waiting to give the opponent a fatal blow.
