Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 706 Enemy Attacks, Soldiers Take the Lead
Chapter 711 Enemy Attacks, Soldiers Take the Lead

Seeing that the Qin army didn't fire the crossbow, Lin Bi encouraged his morale and said, "Go up, go up, they are few in number, as long as they break through their shield formation, they will have nothing to do but wait for death!"

As soon as the words fell, Lin Bi took the lead.In the era of cold weapons, the role of generals is very huge.A fearless general who can lead soldiers to fight to the last moment.Lin Bi's brave performance made the morale of Lin Bi's troops high.Utangi also showed that cold expression: "Rush forward, prepare to charge empty horses!"

In fact, this army is also Qin's light cavalry.However, due to the hasty formation of these cavalry, the combat effectiveness has not yet reached the level that Ran Ming is satisfied with.What's more, Ran Ming was planning to use bombs to bomb the enemy cavalry.The horses of these cavalry have not undergone anti-explosion training at all. If the bomb is detonated, their horses will definitely be the same as the enemy's cavalry. The horses are frightened and out of control.

The frightened war horses have very violent tempers, and their random collisions are likely to cause unnecessary losses.For this reason, Ran Ming ordered that the light cavalry of the Qin State, except for the Qilin guard cavalry who had received anti-explosion training, should change from riding to walking and participate in the battle.In order to ensure the smooth progress of the battle, Ran Ming nervously made a batch of heavy shields.

This kind of large shield is not afraid of cavalry collision after taking wooden stakes to the ground.With the heavy shield of the support frame, the anti-collision ability is only slightly weaker than that of the chariot.

The enemy's cavalry was getting closer and closer, and finally even the facial expressions of the opponent were clearly visible.At this moment, the soldiers of the Qin army behind the shields raised the horse crossbows that had been ready to go.

The effect of shooting at close range is obvious. The male crossbow within 300 range can penetrate the head of the horse, and shoot the crossbow bolt into the horse's head one foot.As for people, let alone.The effect can be brainstorming (Cheng Zhi was referring to the steel hunting crossbow with a range of [-] meters when he wrote this kind of horse crossbow. Unfortunately, it was confiscated by the police station last year)
In one shot, hundreds of cavalrymen fell off their horses and fell to the ground with a thud, screaming endlessly...

It was the first time Lin Bi felt the benefits of owning a shield. The hook inlay was made of iron, so at most the crossbow shot a ball of sparks on it, and then fell powerlessly to the ground.But Lin Bi didn't feel well, because he was a general, and he was targeted by dozens of crossbows. The same crossbow bolt was numb, and the cut of the left finger was bleeding again.

Lin Bi turned a blind eye to these minor injuries, and continued to growl: "Rush, rush, rush up!"

Lin Bi was a dozen steps away from the shield formation, and suddenly jumped up on his horse, like a roc soaring into the sky. The horse relied on its inertia and slammed into the shield fiercely. cut.A gap was knocked out of the shield array.

Then, before Lin Bi had time to perform his feats, he saw behind the shields a group of spearmen in three rows, the shining spear blades shone coldly in the sunlight.After the spearmen, there was a row of horizontal swordsmen, all of which were equipped with folding shields, and a series of violent shouts came out of their mouths.

"When the enemy strikes, the soldiers take the lead! There are mountains of swords and seas of fire, go forward bravely, there is no enemy but no self, there is no me invincible...Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Although there were only dozens of people, Lin Bi's scalp felt numb due to the sudden burst of murderous aura.

At this moment, the spearman stepped forward, stabbing straight with the spear in his hand, and Lin Bi retreated sharply.The spearman advances again, and Lin Bi retreats again.

Well, no more.The heavy shield closed again, forming a solid shield wall.

Lin Bi's horses crashed into the shield formation one after another. Some of the horses were nailed to the ground by the spears in the gaps in the shields, and some of them hit the solid wall as if they were hit. Of course, there were some lucky ones , They knocked open the shield, but like Lin Bi, they were killed by the spearmen and sword warriors behind the shield.

As time went by, even after paying the price of thousands of horses falling to death, Lin Bi's troops still did not break through the shield formation.There were more than a thousand war horses, and densely packed corpses of men and horses stood in front of the shield formation. Due to the obstruction of the corpses of men and war horses, Lin Bi's troops were unable to attack for a long time, and their morale was naturally frustrated.Their morale fell and their formations became disorganized.at this time,
The Qilin guard cavalry on the two wings of the deployed Qin army's shield formation suddenly rushed out. Although they only numbered more than two hundred people, they messed up the formation of Lin Bi's troops.

In Jinshatan, the bald-haired Wugu looked at the battlefield in front of him, his face was expressionless, and he looked very calm.

The bald-haired Wu Gu said: "What is King Qin doing now?"

"It's ridiculous to say!" Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "He didn't command the battle at the front line, but set up an altar on the ancient pier point to worship the sky devoutly, saying that he wanted to ask the god of thunder to kill us all!"

Bald-haired Wu Gu: "Cut me?"

The bald-haired Wugu said leisurely: "Your Haotian can no longer bless you. You might as well rely on yourself instead of counting on the illusory Haotian!"

"You don't talk about strange powers and chaotic gods!" Zhao Zhen is also a scholar of Confucianism, and he has something in common with Confucius' denigration of feudal superstition.Zhao Zhendao: "If you become the god of thunder, let the god of thunder come more violently!"

"Report!"

At this moment, a cavalry came at a high speed, and the scout knelt in front of the bald-haired Wugu and said, "Fulu city urgent report!"

"Say!"

"The Wei army in Fulu City suddenly left the city with about a thousand infantry and wanted to attack our army. They were repelled by the marshals in the rear and have now retreated to Fulu City. However, the attack by Commander Lin Bi's troops at the front was blocked and suffered heavy losses!"

The bald-haired Wu Gu said: "Ran Ming is right behind them. If Ran Ming doesn't retreat, they will definitely try their best to stop them. However, there is no impenetrable city wall in this world, and there is no impenetrable defense line! It takes less than 2 of the thousands of troops in the Ministry to drown him!"

Bald-haired Wugu is not a pure nomadic leader. As the founding monarch of Nanliang in history, his own military accomplishment and strategic vision are also extraordinary.When he has no decision, he may be vacillating.But once he sets this goal, he will definitely carry it out unswervingly.

Lin Bi's unfavorable initial battle was also in his plan.After testing Qin Jun's will to resist, the bald-haired Wu Gu showed his unique skill.This is a rushing car equipped with eight huge wheels that are nearly one person tall.Chariots are weapons used to hit the enemy's city gates in previous battles. They usually use huge tree trunks as the main body, and use huge inertial kinetic energy to crash into the enemy's city gates.Unless the city gate hole is blocked with sand and stones, there is no city gate that can withstand this kind of impact from a car weighing more than ten thousand catties.

Driven by [-] soldiers, this heavy truck rushed towards the shield array slowly.In order to guard against crossbow shooting by the soldiers of the Qin army, Wu Gu also had a huge shield erected on the chariot. The shield was made of thick wood and wrapped with two layers of raw cowhide. Hard and fireproof, it is almost invulnerable.The soldiers behind the shield formation looked at the huge impact, and felt helpless in their hearts.

A shield is just a shield, which is fine for the kind of light cavalry who don't have siege equipment.However, when dealing with the Han army who are good at attacking cities, the role of the shield array is very limited. Even heavy shields cannot withstand the bombardment of eight-ox crossbows, bed crossbows, and catapults. The army, once the flames come out, the shield formation can only become a fire dragon!
Ran Ming, who was pretending to worship the sky, saw this shock vehicle, and said unexpectedly: "This bald-haired Wugu is not simple, he found a way to break the shield formation in such a short time."

Wang Meng said: "This is not surprising. For Fulu City, the bald-haired Wugu is determined to win. If he is not prepared for this, it will be strange!"

"If you stick to it any longer, you will only increase casualties, and it will be useless!" Ran Ming said: "If you pass on the order, the heavy shield players, sword shield players, and spearmen will alternately use cavalry to cover their retreat, and use camps, horses and trenches to delay the enemy's attack. speed!"

Wang Meng nodded.

In the ancient piers camp, Ran Ming ordered people to build a semi-permanent camp. He built the camp with clay mixed with expensive glutinous rice soup, and dug seven criss-cross ditches around the periphery, and arranged thousands of horses and horses. Carbine, deer firewood and other defensive facilities.If the enemy is just a simple cavalry, they will definitely shed enough blood in front of these tight fortifications.

It's a pity that the effect of this kind of fortification is greatly reduced because of the mixed infantry and cavalry attacking troops used by the bald-haired Wugu.

"Da Shanyu is too wise. As soon as this rushing car came out, the Qin army actually retreated without a fight!" Zhao Zhen patted the bald Wugu's ass and said, "It's a pity that Ran Ming's intention to fight back is good, but He met the Great Chanyu, and he could only fall short."

"It's too early to be happy now!" Bald-haired Wu Gu said: "Ran Ming is indeed a difficult opponent. Look at those fortifications, they are all very cleverly arranged, which not only makes full use of the advantage of the location, but also limits our The deployment of superior forces had to be carried out step by step according to Ran Ming's design, especially in the depth of more than three miles wide, there were actually seven trenches, and it was these seven trenches. I don't know how many outstanding men would fall here On the ground!"

Zhao Zhendao: "Ran Ming has fought east and west all these years, and he has been invincible in all battles. Naturally, he is not easy to fight, but he has not yet reached the point of being invincible. If Ran Ming has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, Zhen will persuade the big order Yu avoids his sharp edge, but this Ran Ming is too conceited to patrol Hexi with [-] troops. Once a general becomes arrogant and complacent, he is not far from defeat!"

"Do you think Ran Ming really underestimates the enemy and is conceited?" The bald-haired Wugu sighed and said, "Ran Ming doesn't underestimate the enemy, but he doesn't have so many soldiers and horses in his hands. Hexi is a strategically important place connecting the Western Regions, and his position cannot be lost. But Wei State is too far away from Hexi, and they don't have such a strong force to send to Hexi. Moreover, Qin Wang Ranming has to guard against Fu Jian. If he dares to leave Qin State with Qin's elite troops, Fu Jian will definitely copy Ran Ming's retreat, and seized his lair."

Su Li said: "Then Xie Ai, he has already arrived in Chang'an, so he must give Ran Ming great support!"

"The situation in the northwest is more complicated than you can imagine!" Zhao Zhen explained: "Don't think that Guanzhong will be easy, Zhang Zuo is still thinking about taking back Hanzhong from Wei Guo, how can he let Xie Ai intervene in Hexi to pacify the rear Opportunity? If Ran Ming is allowed to integrate Hexi, Zhang Zuo's life will not be easy!"
