Transmigrating into a Turbulent Era as a Soldier, Starting with Marrying a Wife

The soldiers were puzzled by these strange wooden carts, unable to understand what they were for.

However, some of the more experienced fort commanders and supervisors of the military governor's office had their eyes light up when they saw the iron sledges.

They had more experience in battle formations than ordinary soldiers.

They could immediately understand the purpose of these iron sledges.

Subsequently, soldiers were dispatched from each wooden wall exit to clean up the corpses on the ground as much as possible.

Preparing a relatively flat surface for these sledges.

At this time, on a small hill on the north bank of the Chishui River.

Tie Le commander Sangdu looked at the Liang army camp on the south bank, feeling very strange.

Because according to past experience in fighting the Liang army, as soon as the Liang army saw the Tie Le armored guards.

Those cowardly soldiers would almost immediately show visible signs of wavering.

But now, looking out, the Liang army on the ridge of the south bank had orderly flags and a majestic army that did not move.

There was no sign of any wavering morale, and even a faint, indescribable aura of solemnity.

Sangdu frowned.

The appearance of the armored guards failed to shake the Liang army, so they could only let them personally go into battle for a while.

Sangdu had no doubt that these elite armored guards could easily break through the defense line.

His only concern now was that these elite guards must not suffer heavy casualties.

The armored guards could be said to be the lifeline of the Tie Le people.

They were also the elite of the various Tie Le tribes, and also served as low-ranking officers when managing the army.

Sangdu could only pray that these elites could break through the Liang army camp at the smallest cost, otherwise he would really not be able to explain it to the Khan.

At this time, the vanguard of the armored guards had already landed on the south bank.

Those herdsmen slaves and prisoner soldiers immediately gave way to these elites in fear.

The commander of the vanguard, looking back at the general's flag on the north bank.

Waiting for the order from the Tie Le commander.

Sangdu's expression turned fierce, and he suddenly waved the horse whip in his hand.

The wolf flag pointed forward, the ox horn sounded one after another, and the Tie Le central army issued the order for the armored guards to attack.

Looking up at the Liang army camp on the hillside hundreds of steps away, the ugly face of the vanguard commander revealed a cruel smile.

The armored guards immediately abandoned their horses and formed a formation, forming several mutually covering fish scale formations in groups of thirty to fifty at the foot of the mountain.

Without any hesitation, the vanguard immediately began to advance. From the hillside, a fish scale formation composed of silver armor began to slowly move towards the Liang army's wooden wall.

At this time, both sides were eerily quiet.

Apart from the banners fluttering in the morning breeze, only the heavy footsteps of the Tie Le guards could be heard.

The Tie Le people's finest iron armor weighed dozens of pounds, and was made of thousands of tightly woven iron scales.

The guards' helmets were also slightly different in style from those of the Liang Kingdom, usually with high spikes on the top of the helmet, and the surface of the helmet was polished like a mirror.

A fully armed guard like this was almost entirely covered by iron armor. From a distance, it looked like thousands of iron men walking on the river beach.

To deal with this kind of heavy armored soldier, only heavy blunt weapons such as axes and hammers would be effective.

For soldiers who were only equipped with knives and spears, these Tie Le guards were death gods who came to claim their lives.

As these armored soldiers approached, things became busy behind the wooden wall.

In the section defended by the Dongxiang village soldiers, the centurion Xue Dacheng could be considered a capable commander.

In the previous melee, because the armored soldiers were at the front, only two soldiers from Dongxiang were seriously injured and five were slightly injured.

However, at this time, looking at the terrifying armored soldiers at the foot of the mountain, the soldiers were still frightened.

Liu Heitou and Uncle Fu were now working hard to wedge an iron sledge behind the wooden fence.

Behind them, seven or eight iron sledges had already been lined up in order.

"Centurion, we have prepared all of these sledges!"

Xue Dacheng nodded as he looked at the wooden sledges. Li Yuan had already told him how to use these sledges some time ago.

Although Xue Dacheng still had doubts about the effectiveness of this thing.

But now he could only hope that these things would really be as effective as Li Yuan said.

At this time, the Tie Le army had already walked up the gentle slope, and the footsteps of thousands of armored elites and thousands of herdsmen soldiers shook the earth.

The Liang army on the ridge quietly lay behind the wooden wall, and could only hear the heavy breathing and heartbeats around them.

They held the iron sledges and were silently waiting for the central army's order.

In the sky above the Chishui River, a mountain eagle spread its wings and swept across both banks.

Perhaps startled by the solemn atmosphere of the battle formations below, it let out a loud cry.

Mang Guke, the deputy commander of the armored guards, looked up at the sky.

This dark-skinned man with a face full of knife scars looked at the soaring divine bird in the sky.

He silently prayed to the Eternal Sky in his heart, hoping that this trip south to harvest grass would allow him to seize enough food and slaves.

So that he could at least seize five carts of food and ten slaves, so that his family could survive the harsh winter on the grassland.

It would be best if he could seize a few plump Liang women, so that he would not be lonely in the cold winter.

His thoughts were flying.

Suddenly, a burst of rapid and loud horns sounded from the Liang army's central army on the top of the mountain.

This startled him, and he was even more surprised. At this time, the armored guards were still seventy steps away from the Liang army's wooden wall on the ridge.

To blow the horn at this time, could it be that those timid Liang soldiers were going to rush out and fight his brave armored warriors?

While he was wondering, suddenly, Mang Guke heard a low roar in his ear.

The sound was like countless giant snakes churning under the soil.

The strange sound caused the warriors around him to slow down.

Many people looked up and around, trying to find the location of the sound.

Then, a warrior behind him pointed towards the ridge and let out a scream.

Mang Guke was dissatisfied. As the elite of the Tie Le people, they should not shout and disrupt the morale of the army even when they saw terrible things.

He was about to swing the back of his knife and severely punish this coward.

A guard next to him actually stopped and retreated in panic, and the guards behind him failed to stop, and the two armored soldiers slammed into each other and rolled to the ground, causing chaos in the formation.

Looking at the fallen guards, Mang Guke became even more annoyed, and he fiercely beat the cowardly fellow with the back of his knife.

But that fellow just pointed in the direction of the ridge and made meaningless roars.

"Cart! It's a cart!"

Only then did Mang Guke notice that the muffled roar had become even louder, and seemed to be right in front of him.

He hurriedly looked forward.

However, what appeared in front of him were the shiny spearheads of seven or eight spears.

A sledge, using the thirty-degree slope, quickly rushed through the distance of seventy steps.

Carrying the huge inertial kinetic energy formed by thousands of pounds of soil and rocks, it slammed into Mang Guke's body.

The last thing Mang Guke saw in his eyes was countless flying armor pieces and soil and rocks.

He was knocked three or four meters high by the iron sledge, and then spun and fell from the air into the crowd in the rear formation.

And this iron sledge, after knocking the commander away, continued to crash into the armored crowd with undiminished momentum, creating a bloody path.

It was not until the car body hit a huge rock that it cracked into several scattered wooden parts in the huge torsional force.

The terrified Tie Le people had no time to react.

From all parts of the ridge, hundreds of heavy iron sledges, like rolling thunder, rushed down the hillside in turn.

Just like hundreds of wild bulls and beasts, with huge inertia, they rushed through the steep slope and rampaged through the Tie Le people's formation.

The most unlucky ones were the thousands of armored guards.

The first batch of two hundred iron sledges mostly crashed into their ranks with unstoppable force.

The dense formation made it impossible for these elites, who were wearing heavy armor and moving slowly, to escape.

In the huge roar, broken spears and shattered armor, mixed with fragments of limbs, were thrown into the air.

However, the most wicked thing was that a large bag of lime was installed on the head of each iron sledge.

When they crashed into the Tie Le people's ranks, the huge stopping force would cause the lime bags to fly up.

Instantly, a white mist of lime powder formed among the Tie Le people.

Those Tie Le people who were lucky enough to avoid the battering ram would also have their faces blinded by the flying lime powder.

Almost in an instant, thousands of imposing armored guards were shattered by the iron sledges and swept away.
