Conquer the World

Chapter 498 The human life on the battlefield is as cheap as grass

The army heard the drum and stopped breathing.

The two sides added nearly one million troops to wait outside the Xiping City. The banners stretched for tens of miles, and the armored chains were like a sea of ​​oceans.

Shi Lei, the rebel general, looked back at Li Yuanshan, who was surrounded by heavy riding, with a different meaning in his eyes.Li Yuanshan ascended the throne and called the Emperor the Founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was named Su Guo Gong, ranking first among all the Du Gong Du, and the highest rank among the generals.Although the title is like a children's play, he is still dissatisfied with the title.

Wan Yansong and Zhou Dingguo were Li Yuanshan's personal soldiers. When Shi Lei was regarded as the head of the Seven Tigers, Wan Yansong was only a personal warrior and Zhou Dingguo was only a brigade.After Li Yuanshan started his army, Wan Yansong was promoted to Sipinlang general and Zhou Dingguo was a fifth rank general.

In the battle where Zuo Xiaowei was attacked at Mandu Banner, Wan Yansong was the first to lead troops into Zuo Xiaowei's camp. After this battle, he was promoted to General Sanpin by Li Yuanshan and was on the same line as Shi Lei.

Shi Lei has followed Li Yuanshan for more than fifteen years, and Sipin has been doing it for more than seven years. He once thought that he was the first person under Li Yuanshan, and only later realized that Li Yuanshan had always been on guard against the Seven Tigers.Shi Lei knew that when Li Yuanshan started his army, the Seven Tigers would indeed disagree, but didn't they choose to follow without leaving.Because of this, Li Yuanshan began to cultivate new confidants. This change made the Seven Tigers uncomfortable.

That's why now, the Seven Tigers will only have him Shi Lei standing beside Li Yuanshan.

After Wu Kui was defeated and killed, Chu Feiyun said goodbye after Li Yuanshan became king. Yin Poshan and Meng Longsui each led an army that no longer listened to Li Yuanshan's temperance.

It seemed that he felt Shi Lei's gaze, and Li Yuanshan in heavy armor looked over here.Shi Lei's eyes flickered, turning his head to look in another direction.Li Yuanshan suddenly felt ashamed at this moment and couldn't help looking at Shi Lei a few more times.Seven Tigers will now only have Shi Lei still following him, and are they too cruel to him?

This thought flashed in Li Yuanshan's heart, and disappeared without a second.

He looked at the Sui army array opposite, took a deep breath, and then ordered: "Blow the corner, let Shi Lei lead the army to attack 50,000, and the left and right wings pretend to attack."

With his order, the whistle of the horn sounded.

Shi Lei withdrew his thoughts, looked around at his cronies and nodded, and everyone clenched his fists, his face determined.Shi Lei pointed the long arm in his hand forward, and the 50,000 army slowly started.

Good weather, good venue.

It seems that today is particularly suitable for a decisive battle.

Shi Lei ’s rebels began to accelerate, and the team without cavalry moved forward neatly. The array was still neat when he rushed forward, which shows that Shi Lei ’s army is quite strict.At the time, Li Yuanshan had allocated hundreds of thousands of horses to him, but now there are only 50,000 people left. These people are all in the blood of the corpse mountain, and their qualities are better than those so-called elite led by Li's nephew Be stronger.

Seeing the rebels attacking, Jin Shixiong waved the flag, and the archers in front of the arrow array brushed the arrow pots on their feet. When the hands were down, they could easily draw feather arrows.The watchman stood in the high place and sang the flag, and the soldiers below reported the distance of the rebels loudly.

The emperor leaned on a blanket-covered seat, squinting with one hand on his jaw.

"well"

He said two words lightly.

Su Buwei bowed his head and said: "The slave-maid doesn't understand military affairs, so I don't know what this sentence that His Majesty likes is very good?"

The emperor smiled and said, "I handed over this job to Jin Shixiong. What worries me most is that Jin Shixiong failed to forget the defeat of Manduqi more than three years ago. If the lord is stunned by reason, his command It will be a mess. I was just worried that Jin Shixiong would order a fight, only to see him staying safe with me. At this time, there is no need to exchange one-on-one with the rebels. Those rebellious lives are worthless, Li Yuanshan ’s life is also It ’s not worth it. It ’s unwise to rush to face the battle, to defend against the weak with strong soldiers, and then wait for the opportunity to counterattack. Undefeated. Jin Shixiong ’s troops are still as stable as ever, so I say very well. ”

"Archer, shoot a standard arrow!"

The archer commanded in the front ordered loudly that the front row of archers put an arrow feather on the bow string and dyed it with red feather arrows, which were much longer and heavier than normal feather arrows.Throwing a bow, a row of feather arrows were sent out neatly.About two hundred and forty steps away, the feather arrow poked on the ground, and the wavy red line was clearly visible.

The watchman standing at the top stared at the row of arrows, and flew the flag as soon as he saw the rebels passing by.

"Projectile!"

The general ordered and the arrow array was launched.Tens of thousands of arrows flew densely into the air, drawing a beautiful big arc and falling down.The covered blows of the projected feathers and arrows fell into the crowd of rebels as if a rainstorm hit the beach, and immediately they burst into countless small pits.Each small pit represents a rebel soldier who fell to the ground with an arrow.

"Lift the shield! Lift the shield!"

The rebel general shouted loudly: "Run up, speed up! Let Yu Jian fall behind you, hurry up! Run for Lao Tzu!"

As the rebel soldiers ran forward like crazy, the formation began to become scattered.But this kind of disorganization is not a disorganization without system, but a distance that is deliberately drawn to avoid feather arrows.There are not enough shields, and if they are gathered together to rush forward at this time, only more people will be sent to hell by feather arrows.

"Crossbow vehicle!"

General Sui Jun raised his right hand high, and then slammed down: "Let go!"

call!

With his order, hundreds of heavy crossbows flew out flat. The speed of the heavy crossbows was much faster than that of feather arrows, and the strength of the rope was far from human.The enemy archer who hits far away needs to throw a feather arrow to form a kill, but the heavy crossbow is flying forward parallel to the ground.

Thin iron is a feather, and stainless steel is a front.

The heavy crossbow with the arm thickness shot like a wheat with a sickle and turned the front rebels upside down. The heavy crossbow was so strong that the shield could not resist it, even if it was a layer The thick leather shield will be easily broken by the heavy crossbow at the moment of contact, and the soldiers behind the shield have no way to live.

After a heavy crossbow smashed the shield, it passed through the front chest of the rebel soldiers, leaving a large blood hole on the chest, and there were several wounds extending outward around the blood hole. Traces left by Yu.Under this kind of strength, the leather armor on the rebel soldiers was like a piece of window paper, which could be broken with a poke.

The heavy crossbow that passed through the body of the rebels was only blocked to slow down some speed, and then hit the body of the second rebel soldier. The crossbow cut the soldier's arm off the shoulder and held the steel knife. 'S arm fell to the ground with a click.His body was knocked backwards, and the wailing sounded immediately.The soldiers who came from behind evaded, but there were still people who could not dodge and step on the injured soldier.

He shouted frantically, but could not stop the trampling from the same robe.

Soon, his shouts drowned in the crowd and gradually lost his voice.

...

...

Because the infantry is not as fast as light riding, the archers can easily shoot six arrows after the enemy enters the range, and even the most unlucky can send out five feather arrows.Shi Lei's 50,000 rebels were washed by Arrow Rain once and again, and almost no one of the four or five rows of soldiers rushing to the front survived.The sound of feather arrows falling down and hitting on the shield was endless, which was mixed with the groan and painful howl of the arrows.

The rebels fell layer by layer, and the people behind immediately came up.For the attacking side, there is no effective way to isolate the enemy ’s lethality. The most effective way is to rush forward with the shield, as fast as you can.The pikemen and Park Swordsman rushing to the front have nothing to block. Their defense against feather arrows depends entirely on their leather armor and luck.

As a spearman whose marching speed is second only to cavalry, if he wants to survive under the attack of an arrow formation, he can only move his head down with no regard.

The equipment of the pikemen is the simplest, with only a leather armor on the upper body, and the weapon in his hand is also the cheapest.The cost of a long-made Seiko can be changed for hundreds of lances.

At the same time of sacrificing defense power, in exchange for the fastest speed.

The horn sounded again, and the army of the court began to change.The crossbow vehicle must retreat after two rounds of firing, because the movement speed is too slow to risk shooting the third heavy crossbow.The archer also began to retreat, handing his position to the same robe.Although the qualities of these soldiers cannot be compared with the soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty, this year's fighting has made them qualified soldiers.When the archer retreated, there was no trace of confusion. The archers stepped back. The empty space between the two columns allowed the soldiers behind to make up as quickly as possible.

The transformation was completed in just two minutes. As the long-handed hand and the giant shield hand moved forward, the archer and the crossbow car were out of danger.But they dare not stay. Once the short soldiers meet, the archer must withdraw to the rear of the formation, otherwise it will block the support of the subsequent team to the front.

The giant shield of a person banged on the ground with a loud bang, and the braided men with big waists and rounds squatted down after they thrust the giant shield on the ground. Both hands held the handle of the shield tightly and the shoulders Hold the shield.Behind each layer of giant shields is a row of long armies. They put the armor on the giant shields, ready to meet the enemy's impact.

"kill!"

Shi Lei shouted hoarsely with a horizontal knife, and finally the rebel soldiers who no longer experienced the baptism of arrow rain knew that this was the time to desperately. Unprecedented courage broke out.

boom

The torrent of rebels slammed into the dam of the giant shield and immediately stirred up a wave of blood.The impact of the giant shield hand can be imagined. Although they are behind the giant shield, they are not safe.Once they are knocked down, they have no weapons and no armor, and they will immediately become the targets of the enemy's anger.

Chang Ji's hands kept poking forward and shouting, everyone's eyes were covered with blood.They don't look at the face of the enemy, just mechanically stab them out.There are not many people who are still alive after the battle and still have vomiting or incontinence that will be scared by flesh and blood.

At this time, human life is most worthless.

As the rebel soldiers squeezed in more and more, the first giant shield was overthrown. The shield player with no weapons and armor had no choice but to meet the enemy's blade.The Sui army chiefs in the back fought hard to resist, but they did not retreat and were quickly overwhelmed by the torrent.The two people who live and die together hug and die, just like a pair of old friends who haven't seen for a long time, so tight.

The main theme of the battlefield has never changed.

dead

Life is passing away, so quickly.
