A large number of shield guards were arranged at the front, and the dense silver armor faced the rising sun in the east, making the elites of Kushan naturally enter a state of half-squinting eyes.
"This is really crazy. Even if I knew early on that the Han Dynasty had a huge number of shield guards, the feeling of seeing it with my own eyes is completely different." Urdu took a deep breath. So many, just seeing them gave Urdu a headache.
"This is really bad." Zasali's face turned blue.
If the number of shield guards is smaller, Bei Gui still has a way to solve it. After all, the ones they brought here are all elites, and it is not like the so-called shield guards are as powerful as the Tiger Guards. Normal shield guards It's just a better defensive unit than heavy infantry.
But with such a large-scale shield guard, Urdu and others couldn't help but look at Gujrat, okay, even if the spiral spearmen are made of iron, it is absolutely impossible to penetrate so many shield guards. Only other elites, even if The strength is indeed stronger than that of the shield guards. Facing this kind of super heavy infantry advancing like a city wall, they all fell silent.
This situation is just like the decisive battle between Huangfu Song and Nigel in Eastern Europe. The Second Parthia, the Thirteen Roses, the Third Giant, etc., which one is not stronger than the Shield Guard, but the problem lies in the exaggerated scale and astonishing power of the Shield Guard. Due to their defensive power, these legions often fought for a long time and were still in a stalemate.
Kushan's spiral spearmen have amazing piercing capabilities and can even pierce the defense of shield guards, but that is only for ordinary shield guards.
For the Tiger Guards, the last time has proven that even if they are raised to the third talent level, the spear is pierced out, the head of the spear is spinning, and it even brings screams and shock waves, it is still useless. Made of nickel steel The shield and armor, supported by armor thickness comparable to later tanks, can ensure that the gun head that hits it with such speed and force will be directly shattered.
To be honest, it’s not that the Spiral Lancer is not powerful enough. A super-strong soldier who can pierce a shield guard with one shot, or even punch a shield guard through in his extreme state cannot be said to be powerful enough. But the problem is, you You have to upgrade your talent to level three to be able to defeat ordinary shield guards.
But the position of ordinary shield guards is to deal with the opponent's large-scale regular pawns, so they either don't appear on the battlefield. Once they appear on the battlefield, the starting number is 30,000 to 40,000. Top-level regiments like the Spiral Lancers are iron-clad. When encountering this kind of There is no need to fight the situation.
As for the other elite members of Beigui, even if they are much stronger than the shield guards, it is quite difficult to kill the shield guards under the protection of this layer of plate armor.
Therefore, when he saw the Han troops forming a dense formation, directly forming a square formation, with a row of Tiger Guards in front, the face of the Kushan general was really a little green, and he was really a bit unable to bite.
"Abhidan..." Urdu was silent for a while. This kind of fighting method of the Han Dynasty was disgusting to them, but they had to deal with it. But the good thing is that they would not suffer any losses in this way of fighting. would be too big.
After all, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under their command is stronger than that of ordinary shield guards, which is relatively beneficial to them in stalling for time.
Abhitan nodded. Ever since the Han Dynasty removed the shield guards, Abhitan has been very resentful towards his own spear and shield soldiers. Just like Herat, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the shield guards were the spear shields of his own royal family. The ultimate upgrade to the luxurious enhanced version.
It's a pity that even if the adaptive talent is there, no one in Kushan can copy it at present, and the result will be drooling just looking at it. What's more, having said that, if we really want to build shield guards on a large scale, Guishan's current steel production It's simply not enough.
Even though there are very good high-quality open-pit iron mines in the South Asian subcontinent, which were the main source of steel for the empire that occupied India in ancient times, and the reason why ancient India had higher smelting products, in any case, if you don’t go to the blast furnace, you will It is completely impossible to get a shield guard.
For conventional workshop casting, it is normal to produce some weapons and equipment. For shield guards, it is a question whether they can produce one or two pieces a year. Therefore, even if Abhitan has an idea, there is no room for implementation. He can only Think about it in your mind.
"It is somewhat beneficial for us to have the Han Dynasty's shield guards in front, at least it will help us delay." Urdu said with a smile, "Use a defensive formation and don't fight the Han Dynasty head-on."
The war broke out directly in the valley of the Helmand River. It was different from the previous situation where the two sides could not control their mentality before the battle started, and began to test from a distance. The Tiger Guards were in front, and the Shield Guards were following behind. Witnessing The Tiger Guards who fought in the last battle in the Kabul Valley had no emotions at all.
As long as the clouds don't collapse, you can attack us however you want. It's basically impossible for you to penetrate our armor anyway. Even with various talents with specific characteristics, your weapon materials also limit the maximum output. The last time you killed the Tiger Guards , more than one or two weapons were broken.
After all, facing this kind of super armor, a weapon weighing several kilograms is likely to be broken into several pieces due to the huge force of the rebound. Even some high-attack legions, known for their sharp cutting, hit the Tiger Guard shield. It's the same as Gua Sha, only sparks flying around but no harm at all.
After all, reality is not a game, but there is no forced deduction of blood. If it cannot be penetrated, it will cause zero damage. No matter how cool the talent is, you have to weigh it when facing this kind of steel plate.
Although from a practical point of view, the defense of the Tiger Guard is actually similar to that of the Cavalry Headquarters, the difference between the two sides is that the defense of the Tiger Guard cannot be reduced by any special talents, nor can it eat anything. Suppressed by cloud energy, it will not be restrained by some kind of talent.
The defense of the Tiger Guard is pure steel plate. The simplest way to put it is that when the Skylark's suppression talent is used intensively, it can break through the defensive effects brought by most defensive talents. However, if it is replaced by the Tiger Guard, it will save Don't worry, suppression is ineffective. If you go up with a sword, the sword will break.
This resulted in the Tiger Guards not worrying about being restrained at all. They could just resist any random attacks. These days, the Tiger Guards had not seen many attacks that they could not withstand.
Maybe it does have special willpower and physical double damage, but ah, this kind of super powerful attack needs to consider the reality of whether your own weapon can withstand such a toss. You can't tell this difference in ordinary combat. , but when the strength reaches a certain level, the difference in materials really shows up.
"Commanders, follow me and charge!" Lu Bu was dressed in golden armor, with two long feathers on his head, a Fangtian painted halberd in his hand, and a red rabbit horse on his crotch. This time he also wore a big red cloak. Standing in front of the formation, a two-meter-high iron lump next to it is Dian Wei.
There is nothing to say about taking the lead. Although Lu Bu's ability to lead troops is very average, his ability to lead the charge is unrivaled. In addition, Lu Bu has never been afraid of being attacked. This time, Cao Cao said that he wanted morale, so that's no problem. Lu Bu just rode on horseback and stood at the forefront. ahead.
I, Lu Bu, am here, who dares to fight!
The soldiers of Beigui were too lazy to release arrows for Lu Bu. After so many years of trying, they had discovered that the gods could not be killed, and the combat power of the strongest was unstoppable. They surrounded him with spears and shields, and then a large group of internal energy separated from the body. Just do strong output under the leadership of Cerona.
As for other methods, there is no other method. It is completely useless to fire cold arrows. A large-scale siege of elites is also useless. There will be a huge number of elites around the opponent. In the end, it will become a strangling battle surrounding the gods. Generally, Kushan still has I can't even beat him, I'm very angry.
There is no way, Lu Bu's ability to lead troops is average, but his combat effectiveness is too cool, and the morale improvement of his soldiers is very ridiculous. As long as the strength of the soldiers fighting with Lu Bu is not much different from that of the opponent, and both sides have the same tactical level, Lu Bu will definitely win.
Because if the tactical ability and individual strength are almost the same, the battle is morale and mentality. From a certain perspective, Lu Bu can even be regarded as a morale lock.
Two huge waves collided with each other against the rain of arrows, but this time it was different from before. For the first time, the Han Dynasty's arrow rain had an advantage in the battle. There was no other way. Before, as long as Falgon was present, the Han Dynasty's Danyang and Shesheng are actually a bit incompetent.
Within the shooting range, Falgon's royal archers are undoubtedly the most capable archers. They have a high rate of fire, plus piercing, and armor breaking, which is very good.
However, that was before. This time Cao Cao brought his son Cao Zhang to the main battlefield to open Cao Zhang's eyes, and then Cao Zhang also brought his own shield guards.
Unlike the earlier version of the shield guard, Cao Zhang's shield guard was an improved version of Zhu Jun's, and with so many shield guards this time, Cao Zhang thought that he didn't need to divide the legion into three.
He left all defense and close combat to other comrades, and he became an archer. Each person carried a weight of 120 kilograms, plus twelve crossbow arrows, and was an ordinary shield guard wearing heavy armor...
To be honest, Cao Zhang's current shield guard state is actually the form of a heavy-armed crossbowman that Ju Yi needed back then. Unfortunately, Ju Yi never achieved this form until his death. Because of the terrible reaction force of the small crossbow, it is impossible for humans to handle it. For use.
Of course, that was before, and now Cao Zhang is using this thing.
What talents do you need to strengthen? What piercing do you want? What do you want to break the armor?
Give me a blast! I heard that it took Falgon six or seven years to become invincible within visual range. I picked up a small crossbow and just shot. I thought that I could also mow grass within visual range.
As for the crossbow machine, it cannot be attached with personal beliefs and will. It is powerful enough to fly bricks. What kind of belief and will do you need? A two-pound crossbow bolt will hit you and kill you directly. There is no problem. I, Cao Zhang, don’t care about will or not. Come and feel the charm of the crossbow machine!
"Bang!" There was a loud noise, and five thousand short spears flew out.
Screaming, the gun and shield soldiers rushing at the front, even if they had used the imperial scepter for blessing to ensure the level of the imperial guards, faced such a crossbow attack, they suffered heavy losses for a while.
