"Sir, the people of the Ma family have no good intentions. We ran to the Fufeng Plain to help them block the Xiliang army. Are they treating us like this?" A centurion next to Captain Pang asked angrily.
road.
Another centurion said angrily: "That's right, we brought 500 heavy infantry here, what can we do to block the Xiliang headquarters army.
We shouldn't have followed them out. It was the Ma family who proposed to besiege the Xiliang army, and it was also the commander who led the army. It's not a bad thing, but he wants to push us into a pit of fire!"
"Okay, stop complaining." Captain Pang squinted his eyes: "Everyone just do your own thing, but you must pay attention to orders on the battlefield. Any orders I give you will be executed immediately. Do you understand?
?.”
"I understand!"
Several centurions responded one after another. Although they were a little unhappy in their hearts, things on the battlefield did not allow for any carelessness, and they still knew the difference clearly.
"Immediately take your men to the front and form a formation. I will have the Ma family's troops on both sides of us!" The captain looked at the Xiliang headquarters troops that were rushing over.
The opponent's formation was very large, and he and his heavy infantry were indeed the main force, but if Xiliang's soldiers attacked from both sides, it would be none of his business.
The battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one can predict what the enemy will do next.
Since you treat us like this, don't blame me for setting a trap for you.
Commander Pang laughed, and several centurions nearby had already gone up. If they were here, they would have discovered that Commander Pang's smile at this time was just like the smile he used to set a trap for Ma Jiajun.
Captain Ma Qianfu, who was sent to defend the Xiliang headquarters from the other side with Minister Pang Qing, frowned and quickly assigned tasks to his soldiers.
They are responsible for the defense on both sides. The Chinese army is the army of the Pang family, and the Pang family is responsible for resisting the Xiliang soldiers from the front.
The tasks on both sides are easier, so let them take charge.
As someone who has been fighting with Captain Pang for many years, he knows very well that before, Captain Pang, who seemed tall and powerful to outsiders, seemed to be a rather upright person who didn't like to use his brain.
But as someone who has been with Pang Qianfu for many years, he knows very well that people really cannot be judged by their appearance. If they look rough, they may be more proficient in conspiracy and tricks than most people.
If this man hadn't offended someone from the main line of the Pang family, he wouldn't have been able to stay in the position of captain and would have been promoted to other places long ago.
He had to take some precautions so that if an accident happened on the battlefield, he would not have any countermeasures.
Because they are responsible for the defense on both sides, his 1,000 people must be divided into two parts, 500 people on each side.
After scattering his men, he specifically told the nine centurions that if the situation on the battlefield was not right, he would immediately retreat with his army.
Retreating on the battlefield did not put any psychological pressure on him. Anyway, it was not his soldiers from the Ma family who died. The more soldiers from the Pang family died, the better.
If Captain Pang died on the battlefield, the whole world would be celebrating.
Both sides have their own hidden agendas, and they seem to be united, but in fact, various conflicts between the two sides still exist. If they are not handled well, the consequences will be endless.
"kill!"
The centurion who had been appointed as the vanguard by Song Que rushed to the front, shouting loudly, as he had done before when his lord led them to charge.
So much so that in the Xiliang headquarters, as long as they are not those weak military advisors, one of the generals will rush to the front, and they will take the lead in the charge.
The general is not afraid of death, how can the soldiers be afraid of it?
In front of the soldiers from the Xiliang headquarters are 500 heavy armored infantrymen from the Pang family. Their equipment looks somewhat similar to the soldiers from the Xiliang headquarters, but only slightly.
The quality of armor and weapons on both sides is not at the same level, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is also not at the same level.
Fifty steps, forty steps, thirty steps.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and the 500 heavy infantrymen of the Pang family could clearly feel the smell of blood emanating from the soldiers of the Xiliang headquarters.
The cold feeling, through the thick armor, gave them a creepy feeling, which reminded them of the first time they went to the battlefield.
This was the first time they faced the soldiers of the Upper Xiliang Headquarters. Before, they had only heard about these soldiers from other people's mouths and how powerful these Xiliang Headquarters were.
Now that they are about to face these soldiers, they can tell the people in the rear with certainty that those veterans are not lying. These Xiliang soldiers are really powerful and they are really cruel.
He could sense it from the murderous aura in the air and know it from the other party's cold eyes.
"Raise your shield." The heavy infantry commander shouted loudly, and the 500 heavy infantrymen of Panga picked up their shields and stood in front of them.
The soldiers holding spears at the back ran over quickly and stretched out their spears from the gaps in their shields, instantly turning into a large formation of hedgehogs.
On both sides of the army were 1,000 people from the Ma family. Most of these soldiers were armed with long knives and wore nothing more than leather armor made by the Ma family. They looked uniform in appearance, but in fact their defense power was very low.
They had tried it a long time ago and found the other's leather armor useless.
The Ma family is good at all kinds of exorbitant taxes. At the same time, except for their elite troops, the weapons and equipment used by other troops are of no use.
As for the reason, everyone knows that the military consumes a lot of money, and it is also a very easy place to make money.
As long as everyone does a good job on the surface, everyone will make money together.
Captain Pang Qianfu was in the middle of the team, looking at the soldiers from the Xiliang headquarters who were besieging them. He just asked his soldiers to get into a defensive posture, but he never thought about asking the soldiers from the Xiliang headquarters to confront them head-on.
If the opponent doesn't attack their military formation, then there's nothing he can do. Who makes them heavy infantry?
The heavy infantry moved very slowly, and they could not be allowed to give up their heavy armor, pick up their light swords, and fight tooth and nail with the Xiliang soldiers in heavy armor.
If the opponent kills them from both sides, there is nothing they can do!
The centurion who rushed at the front thought that the opponent's heavy infantry would come up to confront them head-on, but found that the opponent's heavy infantry did not move even for a moment.
On the contrary, the light infantry phalanx on both sides was a little commotion. Looking at the hedgehog-like heavy infantry phalanx, the centurion had no appetite at all.
"Split the troops on two sides:"
The centurion made a gesture, and the soldiers behind quickly divided into two teams and bypassed the hedgehog-like heavy infantry phalanx in front of them.
The opponent's heavy infantry is placed here, and he can completely bypass it from both sides, leaving the enemy's heavy infantry to the attacking troops in the rear.
In the Xiliang army, there is a unit for every 1,000 people dedicated to attacking enemy heavy infantry. The weapons used are all heavy weapons. Although they are not as sharp as the weapons used by ordinary troops, they can effectively injure enemies.
Thick armor protects enemies within.
Wouldn't it be better to leave the heavy infantry in front of them to them?
Therefore, in the eyes of the Pang family's heavy infantry, Xiliang's main army quickly divided into two teams, advancing from both sides below their army.
From behind, when Song Que was also confused, a troop armed with maces, hammers, etc. appeared. Those soldiers came out of each team.
"Sir, those are the men and horses specially used to defeat the enemy's heavily armed troops," the centurion beside Song Que explained: "Even if we have a magic weapon like the Hengdao in our hands, we can't deal with the enemy's heavily armed troops.
If the enemy's thick armor is broken, there will be men and horses in the army who are specialized in breaking the enemy's heavy armor.
Judging from the weapons in their hands, they are all heavy weapons, not as sharp as swords, so they can penetrate the armor with power and seriously injure the enemies in the thick armor.
There are about five people in every 100 people, holding heavy weapons and looking ahead. When encountering heavy-armed troops blocking the road, they will step out of their own ranks and organize into a new army."
"That's it!" Song Que suddenly understood after hearing the explanation.
The Pang family's heavily armed troops were not attacked, but the Ma family's troops on the left and right sides were attacked by the Xiliang army.
The centurion was like a tiger emerging from its cage, holding a sharp and tough horizontal sword, and rushed into the Ma family's army, leaving bloody flowers wherever he spoke.
The soldiers from the Xiliang Headquarters joined the sheep flock and turned into cruel wolves. Thousands of Ma's troops fell down.
The soldiers of the Ma family thought they could compete with them, but they didn't expect that each of the soldiers from the Xiliang headquarters in front of them had real energy at an inferior level.
Attaching the true essence to the horizontal sword, wherever the Xiliang soldiers' blade passed, none of the Ma family soldiers were able to defeat the enemy, and they were all cut off with one strike.
Without even a chance to scream, he was hacked to death by a Xiliang soldier.
Seeing such a bloody side, the Ma family soldiers behind him turned around and ran away without even thinking.
Seeing that the situation was not good, several centurions had already run away because the Xiliang soldiers were too fast and they would cut down wherever they went.
There were cold corpses left on the ground. These corpses might have been alive not long ago, but with a wave from the Xiliang headquarters soldiers, they all turned into cold corpses.
Who dares to fight against such an enemy?
They are just second-rate troops, why should they be pitted against such a terrifying enemy?
The centurions turned around and ran away. The soldiers beside the centurions all ran away when they saw their superiors. What reason did they have to continue to stay here and work for the Ma family?
After the entire army came into contact with the Xiliang headquarters soldiers for more than ten minutes, the troops led by Centurion Ma completely collapsed.
They wish they could grow two more legs. They don't need to run very fast, as long as they can run faster than the people around them.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, some soldiers squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands and threw their weapons far away, for fear that the Xiliang soldiers would think they were still a threat.
When the Xiliang soldiers saw these soldiers squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, they took one look and continued to rush forward. The soldiers squatting on the ground behind them thought they were out of danger.
But he didn't expect that the Xiliang soldiers rushing forward from behind would directly chop the prisoners squatting on the ground to death. The battle had just begun, and there was no time to take care of these prisoners.
Keeping prisoners in the army is a hidden danger. No one knows whether these people will pick up weapons again. The Xiliang soldiers kept rushing forward and stabbed them in the back.
No one could predict these situations.
So the best solution is to hack all these prisoners to death.
These surrendered soldiers never figured out until their death why the Xiliang soldiers killed them. Didn't they already surrender?
But why do they still want to kill them?
With doubts, confusion, and confusion, these soldiers fell to the cold ground, and then were stepped on by the Xiliang headquarters soldiers wearing heavy armor from behind. Their fragile bodies were gradually trampled to pieces and integrated with the grass.
Soon this land will become very fertile.
Seeing that the Pang family's side was not attacked, some soldiers moved closer to the Pang family's army and gathered a large number of Ma family soldiers. They wanted to enter the Pang family's army formation, but were refused and could only wait outside.
"Sir, should we retreat?" Seeing the miserable appearance of the Pang family's army not far away, they held their weapons tighter. They didn't want to become like the Ma family's army.
, was hacked to death and then trampled into mud.
The weapons in their hands and the thick armor on their bodies are the source of their safety.
The captain of the Pang family looked ahead solemnly and saw an army walking towards them. The soldiers were holding maces or huge axes.
All are heavy weapons!
This is a force specially designed to attack heavily armed troops!
If the nearly 3-meter-long mace hits the shield in front, the soldier holding the shield will definitely not be able to block it. Even if the soldier holds on, the shield cannot block it.
There is also that huge axe. If that axe falls among the soldiers, even their thick armor will not be able to withstand the axe.
Looking at the soldiers from Xiliang Headquarters who had gradually surrounded them, Captain Pang said to the surrounding centurions: "Brothers, now we are deeply surrounded by Xiliang Headquarters. If we want to break out,
, it’s basically impossible.”
The commander's words made the hearts of the soldiers in the encirclement suddenly sink. The commander continued: "Have you seen what happened to the soldiers who surrendered from the Ma family's army just now?
The battle has just begun, and surrendering now is a dead end, because Xiliang does not have enough manpower to manage the prisoners, so killing the prisoners is their best choice!"
"You also saw the troop in front of us, right?
They are armed with heavy weapons, which are the best tools for dealing with military affairs like ours. Their weapons are a full foot long, and it is difficult to stop them.
There are only two paths before us now. One is to resist stubbornly, and then we will be destroyed by Xiliang soldiers.
Second, it means surrender, but unlike the surrender of the Ma family troops, we need some certificates of surrender!"
Hearing this, the Pang family soldiers already understood something. They were interested in the Ma family soldiers outside...
