Conan: The Mechanic

At the tactical level, Harald III was severely beaten by Harold II. . . Qianyu sighed and could only join the battle again.

It is simply incompetent, exhausting the three armies. . .

The enemy Chiyu is facing now can be said to be half militia and half guards—the reason why they are called peasants is that they have no armor; the reason why they are called the personal guards is because they have shields.

Wait a minute, maybe the militias have shields?

Perhaps the reason why Qianyu only encountered militiamen without shields at Qiaotou was because these impatient people threw away their shields in order to run faster?

In any case, this group of shield-equipped militias is a lot harder to deal with now. . .

However, no matter how difficult it is to deal with, it is only the militia, and there will inevitably be some deficiencies in combat skills.

Chiba slashed the long sword at the opposite militia with one hand, and the opponent pushed the shield in his hand forward to knock the long sword away.

Chiba immediately grabbed the upper edge of the opponent's shield with the other hand, and flipped it downwards - so that there was no longer any obstacle between Chiba's long sword and the opponent's throat.

While the opponent desperately slashed the long sword in the other hand into Chiyu's back, Chiyu had already inserted the edge of the long sword into the opponent's artery.

The blood of the militiamen without armor splattered all over Qianyu, and the militiamen's long swords only left some white marks on the chainmail behind Qianyu.

"Hiss..." Qianyu grinned and staggered forward a few steps—although the long sword was helpless against the chainmail, the militiamen had great strength, and it would still hurt to slash on his back. . . (Although chain armor is made of metal, it is considered soft armor, so the effect of this kind of blunt strike should not be underestimated. If Chiba was wearing plate armor, then a blow of this magnitude might even be damaged. There is no feeling of being cut)

Picking up the shield of a Viking soldier who died in battle (the Viking shield seems to be slightly better than the militia shield, and this can also avoid the tragedy of being misunderstood by his comrades.), Chiba continued to fight.

How to use a shield is a matter of knowledge, and it is impossible to use a shield like that rookie.

Chiba tightly folded her right hand holding the shield and pressed the shield to her body, while her left hand held a sword in an attacking stance—just like a one-handed swordsman wearing a breastplate. (Chiyu's main hand is the right hand, but at this time he is indeed holding the sword in his left hand, which is required for battle.)

In this posture, Chiba faced the Anglo-Saxon Guards who were holding a shield in the left and a sword in the right.

King Harold II's personal guard? In terms of 1066, these guys can be said to be the most powerful infantry in England or even in Europe (the name of the most powerful infantry in the world in 1066 should probably be won by the infantry infantry of the Northern Song Dynasty. Although the infantry armor Because of the inherent defects of its armor, it may not be able to win in the confrontation with the European heavy infantry, but the weight of the infantry armor itself - about 25 kilograms in 1066, 80 years later, the gunner's infantry armor even after modification Can exceed 50 kilograms - it is determined that its defensive ability is stronger, and it is also the infantryman with the strongest ability to cavalry.), it needs to be handled carefully. . .

Chiba's right foot was parallel to the shield, while her left foot was behind her.

"..." Angla Saxon's guards glanced at Qianyu's formation and frowned.

Because Chiba's right hand has a solid wood Viking shield with a diameter of 80 centimeters, it completely protects the part from the neck to the thigh, so it can only attack two places - the head and the legs.

But this guy is wearing chain mail, so only stabbing can do enough damage. However, the legs are too thin, and the stab is easy to dodge, so it can only hit his head. . .

Of course, the guards could have another option—wasting time here with Chiba. But he can't afford it.

As the guard of Harold II, he represents the most powerful fighting force in England, and is the most powerful fighting force responsible for opening the situation. His role and position made it necessary for him to keep on the offensive to match the kingdom's spending on him.

The sword in the right hand of the guard stabbed out like thunder, as long as Qianyu hesitated a little when judging the location of the strike, his sword could hit Qianyu directly in the face.

But Chiba made the most timely response—raised her shield.

The guard's long sword was deflected to the upper left of the guard by the shield.

The guard's brows instantly locked up—he was not surprised by Chiba's insight into the target he chose to attack, but by the movements of Chiba's feet.

While raising the shield, Chiba quickly retracted her right foot that was not in the safe zone.

Chiba simultaneously responded to the two attackable targets that the guards judged just now.

He was able to block his own attack not because of some kind of insight, but because he had already predicted his possible attack behaviors and made complete countermeasures one by one.

What Chiyu prepared was not only a counter attack, but also a one-hit-kill counterattack.

When Chiba used his right shield to move the guard's right sword to the guard's left side, the guard's right side was wide open.

The guard hurriedly made an emergency maneuver with the shield in his left hand~www.readwn.com~ to try to block the path of Chiba's sword in his left hand, but it was too late. If Chiyu is holding the sword in his right hand and slashes at the guard's right hand sword, then the block is almost guaranteed this time, but Chiyu is holding the sword in his left hand. . .

This is the reason why Qianyu used the awkward left-handed sword and right-handed shield - the right-handed shield is convenient to block the opponent's left-handed sword to the opponent's left side, exposing the weak underbelly to himself, while the left-handed sword is convenient for him to use the fastest speed and the most Attack this weakness from a tricky angle.

The point of the sword pierced in a graceful arc, piercing through the gap between the chainmail rings on the right rib of the guards - the structure of chainmail could not provide any effective defense in this situation - with The chain mail was buried deep into the body of the guard from the side.

"Ah!" The guards screamed, and the replayed shield suddenly stopped moving.

Chiyu pushed the sword to a certain depth and immediately retracted it, watching the guards slowly fall down with a desperate expression.

If you only talk about pure martial arts or pure martial arts, Qianyu is probably not - certainly not the opponent of the guards, but he knows many classic fighting routines.

The tactic just now is one of the crystallizations of the progress of human combat skills in the past thousand years.

At this moment, explosive news came.

"Harald is dead! Harald is dead!" The shouts of the British soldiers instantly shocked everyone.

"..." Qianyu lowered her sword and shield in silence.

He knew that the British might not have lied, because in the real history, Harald III was shot by a stray arrow in the trachea without the protection of chain mail during this war, and died on the spot. (While most Viking soldiers did not wear chainmail, Harald III and Tostig did.)

The tide of the war was reversed in an instant.
