Facing the torrent of war between the Qin army and the Wei army, thousands of Shangshui soldiers stood up without hesitation and charged towards the Qin army, which was several times their own.
"Run! Run!"
Thousands of Shang Shui troops rushed to the front, including Ran Teng and his team. They spread their legs and galloped within the remaining distance.
Twenty steps...
Ten steps...
Five steps…
The tattooed soldiers of the Qin army are close at hand!
"shield!"
Following the roar of Ran Teng, a thousand-man general, the soldiers of Shang Shui who rushed at the front used their shields to protect themselves, and with the momentum of their running, they ran headlong into the ranks of the tattooed soldiers.
It was pitiful for those tattooed soldiers who had almost no armor to protect themselves. They were knocked back by the soldiers of the Shang Shui Army and were unable to stand steadily.
Some poor tattooed soldiers were even hit head-on by the iron shield of Shang Shui's sergeant, causing him to vomit blood on the spot.
It is undeniable that men in the land of Xichui are generally tall, but they can't stand up to the Shang Shui soldiers of the Wei Kingdom. The tattooed soldiers, who are fully armed and don't even have light armor, can hit the Shang Shui soldiers who carry hundreds of kilograms of armor on their backs.
?It was like a flock of sheep meeting a herd of rhinoceros and being immediately swept away into pieces.
"kill!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity for the tattooed soldier to stand unsteadily, Shang Shui's sergeant took advantage of the victory and pursued him, slashing at the enemy with the sharp sword in his hand.
The tattooed soldiers wanted to fight back, but the weapons in their hands could not touch the bodies of the Shangshui soldiers. Those Shangshui soldiers who had undergone rigorous training and had rich combat experience flexibly used the shields in their hands to attack the tattooed soldiers.
The sword swung by the soldier in front missed again and again, or even flew away.
In the understanding of Shangshui soldiers, shields are not just protective gear for defense, they can be used for offense.
Just like what those Shangshui soldiers were doing now, when they saw several tattooed soldiers waving their swords at them, they grasped the arms of their shields, slapped them away, and used their strong and heavy shields to hit the enemy.
The tattooed soldiers' jaws were shattered one by one, and they could no longer hold the weapons in their hands.
Some tattooed soldiers were even hit directly on the body by the iron shield of Shangshui soldiers, causing them to vomit blood on the spot.
……Chance!
A tattooed soldier saw a Shangshui soldier swinging out of the gap in his shield, and slashed at the latter's helmeted head with the sword in his hand.
However, what the Shangshui soldier did was just turn his head sideways, as if he wanted to resist the blow with his shoulders.
With a "clang" sound, the tattooed soldier's sharp sword struck the shoulder armor of the Shangshui soldier, leaving a few sparks.
And from beginning to end, the Shangshui soldier didn't even blink.
"puff"
There was only a strange sound of the sword piercing through the body, and the sword in the hand of the Shang Shui soldier easily pierced the tattooed soldier who had no protective gear at all.
What's going on with these guys?!
Gradually, more and more tattooed soldiers noticed something was wrong.
Because the soldiers of Shangshui in front of them did not blink even if they were armed with sharp swords.
Is it the confidence to wear tough armor?
A Qin general noticed this and was secretly surprised.
You know, blinking is people's sense of self-protection. Even if ordinary people are wearing indestructible armor, when the weapon is slashing towards them, they will still close their eyes subconsciously, even though they actually know that the armor on their bodies is enough to withstand
Hold on to that sharp blade.
But the soldiers of the Shang Shui Army did not.
Simply put, the soldiers of this army have mastered the self-preservation instinct that only experienced soldiers can hone.
This army... this army...
The Qin general looked at the army with a more ferocious fighting style than the tattooed soldiers with emotion. He was about to shout something, but in the next moment, several crossbow bolts shot from nowhere and hit his body.
The fighting style of the Shang Shui Army was more fierce than that of the Qin State's Tattooed Army, which is inevitable.
Because the tattooed soldier's weapon could not break through the double protection of Shang Shui's shield and armor, but the long knife in the latter's hand could be easily torn and penetrated the tattooed soldier's body.
"Shangshui!"
Thousands of people general Xiang Li shouted loudly while brandishing their swords.
"drink!"
With just a brief but powerful response, the offensive of the nearby Shangshui soldiers became more fierce.
They seemed to be tireless, sometimes using the shield in their left hand to knock away the enemy, sometimes using the long sword in their right hand to slash at the enemy, stepping forward step by step.
Their persecution aroused the ferocity of the tattooed soldiers.
Wu Ji, the general of the Shang Shui Army, immediately caught the signs that the tattooed soldiers were preparing to counterattack, and shouted sternly: "Shang Shui Army! Spread to the left and right!"
In about a dozen breaths, the soldiers of Shangshui quickly dispersed to the left and right sides, but just when the tattooed soldiers on the opposite side were about to seize the opportunity to break through from the center, they were greeted by the overwhelming power of Wei Jun's repeated crossbows.
volley.
With just one volley, the tattooed soldiers who had just gathered to prepare for a counterattack were turned into corpses on the ground. The ferocity they finally aroused was completely destroyed by the Wei army's crossbows.
At this time, Shang Shui's soldiers who had just dispersed to the two wings formed a line again and continued to compress the space on the battlefield.
Wu Ji, the general of the Shang Shui Army...
Lintao Lord Wei Ji looked at Wu Ji in the distance in amazement, admiring him repeatedly in his heart.
He could see clearly that just now, Wu Ji had used his repeated crossbows to skillfully interrupt the counterattack of the tattooed soldiers, thereby weakening the Qin army's momentum.
"General Wu Ji seems to be very good at using repeated crossbows to interrupt the enemy's momentum." Lintao Lord Wei Ji said to Zhao Hongrun.
Zhao Hongrun smiled lightly when he heard this and said: "Lian Nu is a war weapon equipped by the Shang Shui Army. He has had many encounters with the Shang Shui Army. If he can't even make full use of it, how can he be worthy of being the leader of the Shang Shui Army?
General?"
Lintao Lord Wei Ji nodded, and then he seemed to have seen something and frowned subconsciously, but after a moment, his frown relaxed.
It turned out that he noticed that Wu Ji in the distance was being targeted by several tattooed soldiers, but what was incredible was that Wu Ji killed those tattooed soldiers in the blink of an eye.
"But having said that, as the general of the Shang Shui Army, General Wu Ji's martial arts skills are also very impressive... This fighting style is a bit like Jiang Bi." Lintao Lord Wei Ji said with a strange expression.
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun smiled bitterly. In fact, this was what he was very dissatisfied with Wu Ji: as the general of the Shang Shui Army, Wu Ji always liked to go into battle in person.
In Wu Ji's words, the feeling of being on the battlefield is different from standing in the formation watching the battle. Being on the battlefield allows him to better command his soldiers and seize the ever-changing opportunities on the battlefield in a timely manner.
In contrast, Qu Cheng, the general of the Yanling Army, was not as bloody as Wu Ji. He always protected himself very well.
However, this is fine. There is Wu Ji in the front line and Qu Cheng in the back line. These two generals are each responsible for the command of different areas, making the entire situation firmly under the control of the Wei army.
Coupled with the assistance of deputy generals Yan Mo, Zhai Huang and others, it is undeniable that the Wei army has an excellent grasp of the rhythm of the war so far.
On the contrary, the Qin army was feeling more uncomfortable at this moment.
They launched several assaults, but almost every time, the offensive was planned by the Wei army. It was either an unmatched volley of crossbows or a rain of arrows from the Wei army's crossbowmen. The Shang Shui army waited for it to stop and take a breath.
Together with Yanling's soldiers, they continued to persecute them in an orderly manner.
This feeling is really uncomfortable, as if the Qin army is being led by the Wei army.
But having said that, in fact, the Shangshui Army and Yanling Army on the battlefield were in a very dangerous situation.
Because the difference in numbers between the two sides is really too big.
"Shangshui!"
Thousands of generals shouted loudly, hoping to use their slogans to inspire the fighting spirit of their soldiers.
But compared to the previous time, the shouts of the Shangshui soldiers who responded this time seemed a bit weak.
It's no wonder, after all, the soldiers of the Shang Shui Army are also human beings. Carrying hundreds of kilograms of armor and fighting with the fierce tattooed soldiers for a whole hour, they are already out of breath from exhaustion.
Even with a thousand soldiers, Ran Teng felt his arms begin to feel heavy.
Suddenly, he stopped drawing the knife.
Looking up, he was horrified to see a tattooed soldier on the opposite side who had been pierced by him. He was vomiting blood and grabbed the blade with a grin on his face. From the side, another tattooed soldier was wielding a sword.
The sword struck at his arm.
not good!
Ran Teng was startled, and decisively let go of the handle of the sword. Then he subconsciously held the dagger hidden behind the shield near the arm, and swung the shield fiercely to knock away a tattooed man who was coming towards him.
After he died, he stabbed the tattooed soldier in front of him to death with the dagger in his hand.
"Thousands of generals from Ran Teng!"
The merchant soldiers of our team noticed Ran Teng's side and immediately gathered to help.
Seeing the panting appearance of these soldiers of this team, Ran Teng felt very anxious, because he knew that the physical strength of their Shang Shui Army was almost at its limit.
Fortunately, at this time, Wu Ji, the general of the Shangshui Army who was personally commanding the front line of the battlefield, also noticed that the offensive of his soldiers was gradually weakening, and without saying a word, he issued a rotation order to exchange the Yanling Army with the Shangshui Army.
Fore and aft position.
Moreover, when the Shang Shui Army retreated and the tattooed soldiers took the opportunity to rush forward, they once again used their repeated crossbows to interrupt the Qin Army's offensive, abruptly suppressing the Qin Army's momentum.
"It's our turn!... Yanling Army, attack!"
"Whoa whoa!"
Following Yan Mo, the deputy general of the Yanling Army, shouted loudly, the Yanling Army quickly took over the position of the Shang Shui Army and continued to further compress the Qin Army's space.
Facing the Yanling Army, which was no less brave and equipped than the Shang Shui Army, the tattooed soldiers of the Qin Army once again felt powerless.
They finally understood that the blood in their chests could not really help them defeat the enemy on the opposite side. The real key was solid armor and sharp weapons.
In this regard, there is a huge gap between their tattooed soldiers and the Wei army on the opposite side.
At the same time, in the Wei army's main formation, Zhao Hongrun was watching the battlefield, stroking his chin and thinking for a moment, and then asked Zong Wei beside him: "Are those armored vehicles...are they ready?"
Zongwei Chief Wei Jiao nodded: "We are on standby at the rear."
