At this time, Dadu has seen that there is no way to go up the mountain. The entire mountain wall has been destroyed by the Gulaqin people in advance, and the gravel is messy. Let alone horses, even if people rush up, they will sprain their feet if they are not careful. , and the edges and corners of those gravel are very sharp, even if the Tariq warrior wears leather boots, the boots will be punctured at worst.full text..

There are two lines of defense on the mountain, the arrows of the first line of defense are slightly weaker, and the main melee warriors with swords and spears are waiting in full force, and the main archers are behind the second stone wall.

Some of the Tariq cavalry rushed up to the foot of the mountain, with arrows raining down on them, and under the hooves of the horses were messy gravels. Many soldiers were stabbed in the vital parts by the protruding gravel and water chestnuts after they landed. However, the scene was quite chaotic for a while. Although the Tarek cavalry arrived and suppressed the Gulaqin warriors on the mountain with the rain of arrows, it was already very difficult to climb up the mountain every step forward.

During the battle between the two armies, hundreds of Tariq warriors were killed or injured in such a long-distance arrow exchange. The previous aura of momentum has been suppressed a lot.

The Tariq warriors stretched out a long column, stepping on the dead bodies of their companions and still bravely climbed up the mountain. Although it was true that a few Tariq warriors approached the first line of defense with difficulty, Gula, who was guarding the first line of defense, Warrior Qin had already made preparations. Before Warrior Tarik got close to the stone wall, the spear had already slammed down from above.

Blood splattered everywhere, and the commander-in-chief shouted at the foot of the mountain, calling on the Tariq warriors to charge forward. He was entrusted with leading the battle. He was trying his best to make a contribution, but the Gulaqin soldiers were all fighting for their relatives. Fighting, facing the elite Tarik warriors without fear, the Tarek warriors can't even take advantage of it.

Chu Huan watched the battle situation at Yingshou Peak from the Right Wing Peak. Judging from the situation, the herdsmen and warriors of Gulaqin were not at a disadvantage, but Chu Huan could also tell that if it comes to the hard power of the battle and the quality of equipment Jingliang, Gulaqin and Tarik are too far apart. Fortunately, Gulaqin retreated to Montenegro and used Montenegro as a defensive barrier. Just imagine if this is a match on the plains, the situation at the moment must be one-sided. Warrior Tarik Absolutely have the strength to suppress the Gulaqin fighters in an all-round way.

Maha Vajra watched the Tariq warriors attacking up the mountain rolling down from the mountainside one after another, his face suddenly became ugly.

Conquering Montenegro and capturing Mahazang is naturally an unchangeable goal, but Tariq warriors are treasures of the empire, and every Tariq warrior is a treasure of the empire. If the casualties are too heavy, even if the attack After going down Montenegro, I'm afraid it's hard to say victory.

After all, he is the majestic king of Xiliang Beiyuan, not a dead man, and he can see clearly the battle ahead. If he continues to attack like this, maybe he can really go down to the Eagle Shou Peak with the brave fighting power of the Tariq warriors, but Egula With Qin's current defensive situation, even if Yingshou Peak is captured, there will probably be very few of the [-] Tariq warriors left.

If the three peaks of Montenegro were to attack Yingshou Peak, thousands of people would be killed or injured. Such a price was unacceptable to Maha Vajra, and he believed that Mahara would also be unacceptable to pay such a heavy price.

He clenched the whip in his hand, and finally made a movement, and the horn player beside him blew his horn again, which was to order Dadu to retreat temporarily.

Dadu watched the serious casualties of Tariq warriors in front, and was furious in his heart. While shouting and cursing, he heard the sound of horns behind him, hesitated for a while, and finally ordered the whole army to retreat.

Three thousand Tariq warriors, the first attack, more than 300 people were killed or injured, and the companions could only reluctantly bring the injured Tariq warriors down the mountain, even if they had already died, they didn't care about it for a while.

Da Du hurried back to his team, and said shamelessly, "Your Majesty, I'm humble...!"

Maha King Kong didn't wait for him to finish, and said in a deep voice: "Gulaqin and the gang of slaves have been prepared for such a strong attack, and our casualties are too heavy." The order said: "Go to the shield soldiers!"

The orderly sent down the order immediately.

Xiliang's military operations have always been dominated by cavalry, supplemented by infantry, which is exactly the opposite of Qin's military structure.

Qin cavalry is almost all light cavalry, but infantry is multifarious, such as sword soldiers, pike soldiers, hook soldiers, etc., while Xiliang infantry is relatively simple, but cavalry is divided into heavy cavalry and light cavalry.

The heavy cavalry is closely guarded. Once the heavy cavalry rushes into the infantry formation, there is little suspense. The infantry will suffer disaster, but the cost of heavy cavalry is extremely high. They are all the guards of the chief general, and they will never be used lightly unless it is absolutely necessary.

The infantry in Xiliang is an auxiliary unit. A long time ago, they were not even equipped with shields, but after learning from other countries, they were gradually equipped with shields. However, the iron ore and copper mines in Xiliang are very scarce, and the limited metal deposits still need to be used. To refine swords and guns, if a real metal shield is made, the copper and iron consumed are enough to make several or even dozens of swords, and Xiliang is mainly cavalry, and a lot of cost is invested in infantry. Xiliang military Not willing.

Except for the small number of heavy cavalry guards around the generals who are equipped with iron shields, the shields equipped by the general infantry are all made of animal hides, mostly cowhide.

These shields are often made of several layers of cowhide. Although such shields are easier to damage than iron shields, they still have a certain effect if they really want to resist bows and arrows.

This time Maharaja led all the cavalry to kill, it seemed that shields were not needed for the offensive Tarik cavalry, but in the end Mahara ordered that the vanguard be equipped with a thousand shields.

The Gulaqin warriors at Eagle Head Peak blocked the Tarek warriors with their bows and arrows, making it impossible for the Tarek warriors to advance. He charged desperately, but decisively ordered to temporarily stop the attack, and prepared to use the shield as a cover to force him up the mountain.

In Maha King Kong's view, Gulaqin fighters can barely resist long-distance combat, but as long as their own warriors approach at close range, compared with individual combat capabilities, Gulaqin fighters are far inferior to Tarik Jing Soldiers, if they use their shields to block the opponent's arrows, and then force them up the mountain to meet the Gulaqin fighters hand-to-hand, the Gulaqin fighters will definitely lose.

Maha King Kong summoned Dadu to come closer, and ordered in a low voice, the meaning was simple and clear, to cover with a shield, break through the first stone wall at all costs, as long as they cross the first stone wall and meet the Gulaqin warriors hand-to-hand, the two sides mix together , then the archers above are afraid of throwing rats, in order to avoid shooting their companions, they must not dare to shoot arrows lightly, as long as they suppress the opponent's arrow array, with the bravery of Tarik warriors, it is only a matter of a blink of an eye to reach the top of the mountain .

Dadulian claimed that he was depressed and unable to get close to the Gulaqin fighters at this time. He was confident that as long as his group of elite soldiers approached for hand-to-hand combat, one Tariq warrior would be enough to deal with three Gulaqin fighters.

The horn sounded again, and a thousand cavalrymen with shields came out of the formation. As Dadu rushed forward, they all reined in their horses at a distance from the foot of the mountain. The Tariq warriors who had retreated from the mountain before had regrouped. A thousand shield-wielding cavalrymen dismounted from their horses after Dadu gave an order, holding a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, forming two rows of 500 men each, and stepped forward to the front.

These shields are made of three layers of cowhide, with extremely high toughness, and the defensive area is not small. As long as the body shrinks down, it is enough to protect the whole body. What's more, there is no need to poke your head out to check if you hide behind the shield. In the front, because there is a specially made observation port on the top of the shield, the holes the size of two eyes are enough for soldiers to see the situation ahead while hiding behind the shield.

Such shields are only possessed by the two imperial guards. Although the Xiliang Empire allows various tribes in Xiliang to have a certain number of sabers, bows and arrows, armor and shields have always been strictly controlled. If it is found that you have more than the prescribed number of armor or shields, you will be punished as treason.

Dadu issued another military order. Behind each shield bearer was a Tariq warrior. Under one shield, two Tariq warriors were covered. After a thousand shields, there were already two thousand warriors. This group of warriors all shrunk their bodies, holding bright and sharp sabers, and began to slowly move towards the foot of the mountain.

Seeing the other party deploying the shield, Shiboguli's face became serious.

The tactic he had previously specified was to build two barriers. The first barrier was dominated by sword-handled spearmen fighting at close range, and behind the second stone wall were mainly archers. As long as the enemy charged, then the second The archers behind the second stone wall will suppress the enemy with a rain of arrows. Those behind the second stone wall are all fighters with relatively good shooting skills. Although they are not as powerful as the archers of the Imperial Guard, they are condescending. , and the terrain is dangerous, Shibo Guli believes that he can resist the enemy.

He didn't expect that the opponent's cavalry came roaring and prepared thousands of shields. If these shields were sent to the field at this time, the effectiveness of bows and arrows would be greatly weakened.

Shiboguri held the knife in one hand, but clenched his fist in the other hand. Shi Qiluo was following behind Shiboguri at this time, and he also felt that the situation was getting serious.

The Tariq warriors have already started to advance up the mountain under the cover of their shields. Although the movement is very slow, the five hundred shields in each row of the two lines are close together, and the fit is very tight. These Tariq warriors have been in the mountains for a long time. Training together, there is no problem with tacit understanding at all. The Gulaqin warrior on the mountain looked down the mountain, as if he saw two walls moving up the mountain, and he couldn't find the target to shoot for a while.

Gulaqin's fighters looked dignified. Although there are a lot of arrows stored on the mountain, they have nowhere to start at the moment, but they can't waste arrows at will.

Several archers found a gap and shot a few arrows, but the opponent's reaction was really sharp. They felt the strong wind of the arrows, and they had already sealed the narrow gap. Deal any damage to the Taric warriors.

The Gulaqin warriors on the mountain could not find an opening to shoot arrows, but the two thousand soldiers below the mountain had already bowed their bows in formation and shot arrows towards the mountain under the command of Dadu. This was to further suppress the Gulaqin warriors and let them The shield soldiers approached the hill more safely.

The first wave of Gulaqin warriors had the upper hand and killed nearly [-] Tarik warriors, but with the second wave of Tarik shield soldiers, the situation on Yingshou Peak was already in jeopardy.
