I'm playing tricks in Daqin

Could it be that the elite soldiers of the Phoenix Legion have returned home for a rest, and now the city is guarded by recruits who have just made up for the battle damage?

Well, that explanation seems plausible.

Dudu sweated profusely, the more he thought about it, the more he had a headache, and now he couldn't be sure whether the general guarding Xinyang County was the Pearl or not.

However, he was reluctant to give up at this point, and entangled for a long time, finally made up his mind to continue to attack the city!On the top of the city, the bright pearl with a face as calm as water looked up at the dark sky. The snowflakes stopped at some point. At this time, there was still a long hour before dawn, and the sky was still dark, and the vision was still not far away. However, it is also time to launch a counterattack.

After the order to counterattack was issued, the east and west city gates were quietly opened, and the three thousand light cavalry of the Phoenix Legion and the three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry of Shang Xingyun left the city respectively and disappeared into the vast night.

The Jin army was still attacking the city crazily. Although they could not carry heavy siege equipment, after launching the strong attack, the Khan ordered the tribal warriors to cut down trees and rush to make some simple and rough large-scale siege equipment, felling a big tree , cut off the branches and leaves, sharpen one end, and tie a rope, it becomes a simple battering ram that can hit the city gate.

A dozen tribal warriors braved the rain of arrows and the bombardment of rocks and rolling logs from the top of the city. Under the cover of the shield soldiers, they raised the battering ram and slammed into the city gate.

The thick and solid city gate could not bear the continuous and long-lasting fierce impacts, and was finally knocked open with a bang.

Chapter 475 Fight Back

The sturdy city gate was finally knocked open, but before the golden soldiers had time to cheer, bursts of bow strings suddenly sounded in the dark city gate, and countless powerful arrows roared and shot. There was nowhere to dodge the city hammer, and they were all shot down in an instant, but a large number of golden soldiers crowded behind were holding large shields. Braving the rain of arrows, they brandished their weapons and roared towards the city. door opening.

The gate of the city was deliberately opened by the Qin army to let the Jin soldiers who were crowded outside rush in. This was also the beginning of the counterattack.

A large number of golden soldiers rushed into the dark city gate like a tide, but the surging momentum was stopped in an instant.

The [-] heavy armor trapped in the camp had already been in full swing. As soon as the Jin army came in, they immediately squeezed forward in a dense defensive formation, abruptly stopping the Jin army's offensive.

Jin Bing's weapon slammed on the thick and sturdy iron armor, bursting out sparks, and only cut small dents on the surface of the iron armor.

The soldiers trapped in the camp held the heavy and sharp Baimo sword tightly with both hands, like cutting melons and vegetables, cut off the weapons of the golden soldiers, split the iron leaf shield, and split the people in half. , The shrill howls can be heard endlessly.

"what happened?"

"Why don't you move?"

"Why is the brother in front not moving?"

A large number of golden soldiers crowded at the entrance of the city gate. They couldn't see the situation in front of them. Seeing that their companions were crowded together, they couldn't help shouting loudly. Everyone wanted to enter the city as soon as possible. , sent a large sum of money, the Central Plains people are so rich, they have already repaid the sweetness.

A large number of golden soldiers crowded under the city. For the guards on the top of the city, this is an excellent target for attack. Archers shoot arrows with their eyes closed, and they can all hit the target. Smashing can also hit people, and the rolling wood is even more refreshing. One can knock down several people, but it's a pity that I didn't prepare hot oil, otherwise the effect would be even better.

Khan was sitting in front of the army to supervise the battle. Hearing that the North City Gate had been attacked, he couldn't help showing a happy smile on his tense face.

"Khan is wise and mighty!"

The leaders of all the tribes flattered one after another, wishing they could lead their tribe's warriors into the city first, and each of them desperately rushed to ask for an attack.

"Army attack!"

At this time, whichever tribe is sent to attack will cause dissatisfaction among other tribes. Anyway, the city gate has been breached, and it doesn't matter whoever enters the city first, so they all attack.

"Roar!"

Hearing that the city gate had been breached, all the tribal warriors were so excited that they rushed towards the city gate with howls, everyone wanted to rush into the city to plunder first.

Mingzhu stood pretty at the top of the city, and with the help of the dim light, he saw the densely packed golden army rushing towards the city gate like a tide, a faint smile escaped from the corners of Danhong's lips, probably because he was anxious to eat hot tofu, However, this tofu can burn people to death.

The city gate is narrow and long, and six heavy armored soldiers trapped in the camp can block the passage forcibly, but Mingzhu wants to destroy the vital strength of the Jin army, and the heavy armored soldiers trapped in the camp retreated while fighting, slowly introducing the Jin army into the city.

Mingzhu ordered the soldiers to pile up two high sandbags on both sides of the city gate. The heavy armored soldiers who were trapped in the camp only needed to form a frontal formation to block the golden soldiers who had entered the city easily. On the high sandbags, he shot down desperately.

Facing the heavy armor with protective ability, Jin Bing's weapons were useless at all, and instead he was hacked and killed by the heavy armor trapped in the camp. , the companion in front was chopped down, and the one behind roared and rushed up until he was chopped down.

At this time, the gate of the city was crowded with golden soldiers, which were very good targets. Mingzhu waved it, and a messenger waved a torch in both hands to convey the commander's order.

This was the order for the thunderbolt chariot to attack, and soon, stone bombs roared into the air and fell into the dense crowd like hailstones, smashing the golden soldiers crowded outside the city to pieces. The screams were endless.

"what happened?"

After the general attack order was issued, the army swarmed forward, but they were all crowded outside the city gate without moving. The sky was full of stone and fire bombs falling like hailstones. Killing and injuring tribal fighters made him feel a strong sense of uneasiness.

The sent guards quickly replied that the team had entered the city, but due to the tenacious resistance of the Qin army, the offensive was blocked and it would take some time.

After a long sweat, he breathed a sigh of relief and dispelled his doubts. Fortunately, Qin Jun didn't dig a hole for him to jump.

Seeing that many soldiers were smashed to pieces by the stone bullets fired by the Qin army, he quickly ordered all the tribes to retreat temporarily, retreat out of the attack range of the stone bullets, and wait until the attacking front army entered the city before attacking.

After the army withdrew from the attack range of the thunderbolt chariot, the front army in charge of the attack would be miserable. Arrows rained down on the top of the city. Every time the arrow rain fell, there were pieces of golden soldiers screaming and falling down. The nearby snow was covered with corpses, and the blood stained the snow red.

For the archers of the Qin Army on the top of the city, this was a massacre, with many and dense prey. Zhang Xian's arms were numb and weak, so he could only step back and rest, and replace them with another group of archers to continue shooting. prey.

The battle in the city gate was also a one-sided massacre. The weapons of the golden soldiers could not help the defensive heavy armored soldiers, and the heavy and sharp Mo Dao of the heavy armored soldiers chopped down the golden soldiers like melons and vegetables.

Mingzhu looked up at the sky, and gave the order to formally counterattack.

The heavily armored soldiers in the trapped camp are currently only blindly defending, and each of them has already suffocated their anger. With the official order to counterattack, they immediately moved forward, and then pushed their comrades in front to squeeze outward.

The heavy armor soldiers in the first row held their knives in both hands, only attacking but not defending. Every time they slashed out, blood burst out, advancing step by step, knocking down the golden soldiers layer by layer. The attack was very slow. But the invincible attack power is chilling.

Tribal fighters have extremely high personal force value. Those who have the title of warrior can often cut down a dozen soldiers of the Qin army by themselves in normal fights, but they are helpless when facing the heavy armored soldiers with defensive capabilities. Split in half.

Witnessing many companions being massacred by this steel monster, even the brave fighters couldn't help being terrified. Finally, some people were scared and wanted to retreat desperately, but they were pushed tightly by many companions behind them. Unable to move, he could only watch helplessly as Sen Leng Daoguang slashed down after several rows of companions in front of him were knocked down, and instinctively let out a desperate howl.

It took a full half an hour before the heavy armored soldiers in the camp advanced to the flat ground outside the city, quickly formed a five-layer long formation on the flat ground, and continued to move forward. Behind them were many archers, and on both wings were sword and shield soldiers. , put the archer wings in the middle.

The heavily armored warriors in the camp were too heavy, so they could only move forward step by step, at a slow speed. Most of the battles after leaving the city were performed by archers. Every wave of arrows rained, there were a large number of golden soldiers He screamed and fell down.

"what happened?"

Not to mention sweating profusely, even the leaders of the tribes opened their mouths wide. Didn't they say that they had entered the city? Why were they kicked out?

At this time, the sky had gradually brightened, and the field of vision was so far away that Da Khan and others could see the battle ahead. Obviously, the Qin army went out of the city to fight back, and the front army couldn't hold on and was retreating.

The cavalry of all tribes has strong mobility, stronger impact, and the best field combat ability in the mainland. Since the Qin army dared to go out to fight in the field, why not capture Xinyang County for him?

Duobudu Khan dispatched troops and generals, sent one army to attack the Qin army head-on, and the other two armies flanked the left and right flanks of the Qin army. After defeating the Qin army outside the city, they immediately entered the city in chaos.

Taking advantage of the high mobility of the cavalry, the tactic of flanking the two wings is often effective, but it is only light infantry, and most of you have never encountered heavy armored infantry, so you don't know the horror of heavy armored infantry.

The cavalry attacking from the front ran into the slowly approaching heavy armor first. First, a wave of cavalry shots were fired.

Then after a short sprint, the horses slammed fiercely, which only knocked the heavy armored soldiers in the front row back. The heavy armored soldiers in the back row supported them and pushed forward, and the heavy armored soldiers in the front row stood up straight again.

Then there were scimitars, iron swords, short axes and other weapons falling down, a series of tinkling explosions, sparks flying everywhere, some with too much force, the scimitars, iron swords broke on the spot, leaving only a scar on the surface of the heavy armor. Just a light dent.

The cold light flickered sharply, the horse hissed sadly, and the Mo Dao was sharp and heavy, directly cutting off the front feet of the horse, or directly opening it, or cutting off the huge head of the horse, the horse hissed sadly, and collapsed with a bang, knocking the knight on its back. Flying away, the unlucky one was directly crushed, his arms and legs were broken, and he howled miserably.

The two torrents of steel collided fiercely, and the real steel armor was as solid as a rock, more like a sharp steel knife, chopping the waves and chopping the surging golden cavalry into pieces.

The momentum of the attack was hindered, and the soldiers behind galloped closer, and they all huddled together, becoming an excellent target for the Qin army's archers to shoot. Every time a wave of arrow rain fell, many soldiers fell from their horses, and the horses hissed mournfully. collapse.

The theory of arrow array coverage imitated from modern artillery suppression has completely penetrated into the minds of all the generals of the Qin army, and the Qin army benefited from the qualitative leap in iron smelting technology. The quality of weapons is not only better than other imperial armies, but the iron Arrows are also the same. The standard arrows used by the archers of the Qin Army are all three-edged arrows, which are cut on three sides. Armored infantry.

Of course, the iron quality of other empires has improved a lot due to the appearance of the bellows, but it is still a grade behind the iron quality of the Qin Empire. In order to reduce the weight, the heavy armor can only reduce the thickness. The defensive ability is not as good as the heavy armor of the camp, and the three-edged heavy arrow can penetrate it.

Needless to say, it is used to deal with war horses. War horses will surely fall if hit by one or two arrows.

"what happened?"

Dudu sweated a little pale. The fierce attack of the brigade of cavalry not only failed to break through the infantry formation of the Qin army, but was counterattacked by the Qin army and killed them step by step.

"Brother Khan, this Qin army is weird..."

An officer returned from the front to report that the Qin army was covered with thick iron armor, invulnerable to swords and guns, and was not afraid of the fierce impact of war horses. They were simply steel monsters. With heavy losses, how do we fight this battle?

Chapter 476 Counterattack 2

At this time, the sound of roaring and killing shook the sky, and the wilderness was crowded with black soldiers, and the soldiers of both sides were fighting bloody battles.

Dabudu Khan sent three teams of cavalry troops, one team attacked from the front, and the other two teams flanked the two wings of the Qin army. With this tactic, the Jin army fought the Jin army many times and succeeded every time. error.

However, he was a little crazy to want to take down Xinyang County City. The information was wrong, and he didn't understand that the guard of Xinyang County City was still the undefeated Pearl of the God of War who beat him to death, let alone the Phoenix Army. A battle-hardened lion tempered by blood and fire.

The two wings of the Qin army were attacked fiercely by the cavalry of the Jin army at the same time, but Mingzhu had already prepared. Waves of dense arrow rain covered the cavalry of the Golden Army rushing into the formation, and the arrow rain would fall on whichever side was tight.

In fact, most of the soldiers of the Phoenix Legion are elite veterans who have experienced many battles. They know that infantry is inherently at a disadvantage when facing cavalry. Holding the spear tightly in his hand, he stubbornly resisted the frantic charge of the Golden Army cavalry. The one in front fell down, and the one behind quickly jumped up.

The Phoenix Legion was also damaged in a series of battles, and some new recruits were recruited. These new recruits went to the battlefield for the first time, and seeing such a tragic battle scene, each of them turned pale with fright, and their hands and feet went weak, but under the encouragement of the veterans, Driven by him, they also quickly adapted. After this battle, as long as they can survive, they have already accepted the tempering of blood and fire, and they are basically veterans.

The Jin army on the left wing charged forward under the rain of arrows and reached the front and rear of the Qin army. They were blocked by thunderous chariots. They had to dismount and fight on foot. They lost the advantage of the horses. The personal strength of the tribal fighters may be slightly stronger than the Qin army. However, the Qin army has the advantage of weapons and equipment, and the combat power of the two sides is basically even.

Of course, the Jin army was the main attack and took the initiative on the surface. The Qin army was passively defending according to the chariot formation, suppressed by the arrow formation, and suffered minor losses. On the contrary, the attacking Jin army suffered little loss.

The battle on the right wing was roughly the same, but the loss of the spearmen of the Qin army was slightly more than that of the left wing, but the loss of the Jin army was even greater. The iron cavalry could not break through the dense spear array. Can create a vacuum.

The frontal battle was a completely one-sided massacre. The heavy armored soldiers trapped in the camp relied on the protective ability of the heavy armor to resist the impact of the iron cavalry. The tribal warriors were either thrown flying, broke their hands and feet, or were crushed by the rumbling and collapsing horses, and their hands and feet were also broken, and the heavy armor stepped on them, and they died directly.

"receive!"

Wearing heavy armor, Xia Houba gave orders loudly. He has made many military exploits and has been promoted to General Ying Yanglang.

The heavy armored soldiers on both sides of the camp retreated slowly and moved closer to the center, making the entire square formation thicker and stronger. No matter how crazy Jin Hui's iron cavalry rushed, they could not shake the square iron formation.

"Go around!"

After the sudden change of formation, the heavy armored soldiers not only failed to push forward, but also retreated. After the golden cavalry pressed up, Xia Houba issued the order to change formation again.

This time, the heavily armored soldiers on both sides of the square formed a battalion of [-] soldiers each, and moved back slowly, but they did not break away from the big formation, only a few meters apart, making the densely packed square a little looser. That's all.

Some brave tribal fighters thought they had an opportunity, and rode their horses into the gap between the phalanxes, trying to force the heavy armored soldiers from the two battalions to leave the phalanx and encircle them.

The heavy armored soldiers who fell into the camp ignored them at all and continued to carry out Xiahouba's orders. The central phalanx was still slowly spreading out, making the entire dense phalanx even looser. Two meters, but there is no change in the vertical column. The distance between the heavy armor and the heavy armor is still very close, almost back to chest, chest to back, to resist the terrible impact force of the horse.

At this time, the sky was completely brightened, and the battle was still going on, but it was temporarily in a stalemate. The Jin army relied on the mobility of the horses to attack and seize the initiative, while the Qin army passively defended.

Mostly Khan has been sitting on the front line to supervise the battle, watching the soldiers on his side, launching wave after wave of crazy attacks bravely and fearlessly, but has not been able to catch up with the dense defensive formation of the Qin army. On the contrary, the loss is not small, and the frontal attack The cavalry lost even more, and a reserve team had been invested for reinforcements, but they still failed to make any progress. He couldn't help frowning, what did the generals of the Qin army want to do?If it is a decisive battle out of the city, why shrink into a turtle formation?Could it be that he wanted to consume his troops?

He has already seen the power of the heavy armored soldiers of the Qin Army. They are impenetrable in defense and invincible in attack. Fortunately, they are too heavy and move as slowly as tortoises. His soldiers are all highly mobile cavalry. Therefore, he ordered reinforcements to prepare The troops avoided the heavy armored soldiers in the front and attacked the two wings of the Qin army with all their strength. As long as they broke through one side, the stalemate would immediately change.

Suddenly remembered something, and asked, "How long has it been since the nights on both sides of the east and west have not been paid back?"

This time he raided the city, he only raided the North City, while the other three cities sent a large number of night search and surveillance to prevent the Qin army from outflanking the three cities in the east, west and south.

Of course, even if the Qin army really took advantage of the two wings, he would not be too worried. War horses in the Central Plains were in short supply and expensive. The cost of raising a good war horse was worth hundreds of cheap infantry.

It is precisely because of this cost consideration that there are not many cavalry in the imperial armies, and most of them are infantry.

Dajin's uniform cavalry, relying on the high maneuverability of the horses, can retreat from the battle at any time.

"It seems to have been more than two hours."

A tribal leader replied, after many questions from Du Dahan, all the tribal leaders remembered that they had not come back to report the news for quite a long time.

The Yebushou sent to the east and west could not come back anymore, they were all killed, Mingzhu was going to fight back, and the Jin army was all highly mobile cavalry, once they saw the situation was not good and fled, there was really no way to catch up, so , The infantry decided to go out of the city just to act as a bait to attract the attack of the Golden Army cavalry. The three thousand light cavalry of the Phoenix Legion and the three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry of Shang Xingyun went out from the east and west gates respectively, encircling the two wings.

Before the attack, she had dispatched a large number of Ye Bu Suu and the accompanying guard Li Wei's special Ye Bu Suu to sneak in and kill the Ye Bu Suu of Jin Bing.

Dudu Khan just frowned, ordered to send out a few more teams, and then continued to supervise the battle.

"what happened?"

The change in the battlefield surprised him. He was just a little distracted and didn't notice the subtle changes in the battlefield. When he saw that the heavy armor soldiers in the trapped camp had spread out into a semicircle, enclosing the troops attacking the two wings, he couldn't help being frightened. There was a big jump.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

Khan thought of something profusely and gave the order to retreat angrily.

retreat?A group of tribal leaders couldn't react for a while. The Qin army that went out to the decisive battle had only [-] people, and they had [-] warriors. "Bastard, hurry up and retreat!"

Dubudu, who was extremely frustrated, sweated profusely and whipped his whip, which made the herald officer around him howl and woke him up, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers Mingjin to retreat.

However, it was too late, the heavy armor soldiers in the trapped camp had quietly changed in the melee, the two wings spread out, forming a semicircle, enclosing the two Jin army troops attacking the two wings, and then shrinking and squeezing inward step by step.

Of course, with only [-] armored soldiers, it is impossible to completely surround the two Jin army units. The semicircular encirclement is actually just a small semicircular arc.

However, this was enough. If the Golden Army wanted to retreat, they had to go a little farther. At this time, the three thousand light cavalry of the Phoenix Legion and the three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry of Shang Xingyun had already been in place for a long time. At the signal, they strike immediately.

Those tribal warriors were attacking frantically, when they heard the sound of retreating gold, they couldn't react for a while, and when the ambush came out, they were shocked, turned their horses around, and ran for their lives in a panic.

Chapter 477 Wolf Pack Tactics

The two cavalry of the Jin army who were in charge of attacking the two wings of the Qin army could not attack for a long time. On the contrary, they suffered heavy losses and their spirits were prematurely vented. The sound sounded, and immediately turned the horse's head and retreated.

At this time, the heavy armored soldiers in the trapped camp have opened the distance, forming a semicircular defensive front. If you want to evacuate safely, don't bypass the steel defense line formed by the heavy armored soldiers. This will increase the evacuation route virtually, and break out from the left wing. The three thousand light cavalry of the Phoenix Legion circled head-on, and slashed fiercely. The golden army had already been frightened out of their wits, and had no intention of resisting at all. Of the [-] cavalry, only a few hundred cavalry were the fastest to react and run the fastest, and they were able to escape, and the rest were all surrounded.

There were also quite a few golden soldiers who might have been dizzy, or hadn't experienced the power of the heavy armored soldiers, and rushed directly to the steel defense line built by the heavy armored soldiers in the trapped camp.

Theoretically, this is a shortcut, there is no need to make a detour, and you only need to break through the obstruction of the heavy armored soldiers in the trapped camp to escape.

However, they immediately knew what a steel defense line was. Facing the heavy armored soldiers with protective capabilities, the galloping horses seemed to have hit a mountain, and they were smashed to pieces.

The Jin army on the right had the same ending. Only four or five hundred horses ran fast and escaped.

Minimize the casualties of the soldiers under his command as much as possible. This is the style of Mingzhu's army. For the golden soldiers who are trapped in the siege, if they don't give up their weapons and surrender, they will directly greet them with bows and arrows. There is no need for soldiers to fight in close combat and pay the price of their lives.
