"Boom!" Lao Lu's streamer flew past Kushan's defenses almost instantly, resisting the pressure of the cloud, and exploded a 30×30 coverage area. This was because the pressure of the cloud was heavy enough, otherwise the explosion would have been The range is definitely not smaller than the legion attack.
Naturally, the groups of catapults attacked by Lao Lu were immediately destroyed, and the personnel were basically destroyed as well.
Zhang Zhong followed closely behind, and seven consecutive luminous threads directly blew up seven trebuchets and all within a radius of five meters. Although it did not have the coverage of Lao Lu, the destructive power and efficiency were extremely terrifying.
Under the leadership of Lao Lu, the entire fortifications hardly played any role. The fortifications, which have strong restraint capabilities against ordinary elite archers, were basically useless against this group of immortal veterans. The catapults behind the fortifications were operated. The soldiers were cut to pieces.
The veterans with the least shooting power among this group of people all basically have the power to fight in close combat with a single shot beyond visual range. After all, they are a huge empire. They have accumulated the top archers for more than ten years, even if some of the archers are mixed. However, this does not prevent each of them from having their own unique skills.
Therefore, the nearly a thousand soldiers under Nakuru who controlled the catapults were blown away without being able to withstand a powerful sniper attack. Even the catapults were mostly broken into pieces. Seeing this, Nakuru did not want to command the bows and arrows of his headquarters. Counterattack with your hand in the direction the ballistic shot came from.
Faced with this scene, of course there was no need for Lao Lu and the others to attack. The archers led by Ma Zhong used a wave of explosive bombs to disperse Nakuru's soldiers.
It may not be possible to fight against other legions, but against unarmored archers, Chang Shui is the biggest one. If others kill two arrows with one arrow, they are very powerful. Chang Shui can hit the opponent with one arrow and explode a large area.
Faced with this embarrassing situation, Nakuru quickly relied on defenses to parry, but there was basically no way to counterattack.
"Vikas, lead the spearmen to suppress, and allow you to retreat in the form of a spear formation." Khusro Yin saw that Nakuru was suppressed, and did not panic much. He fought with a single army. Guishan lost more and won less. However, in large army battles, sometimes the game is like Tian Ji horse racing, mutual restraint, and the winning or losing of a certain area is not very important.
"Yes." Vikas replied loudly. The legion he led was a variant of the Spiral Lancer. It used a two-foot-long spear. It gave up the vertical spiral talent of the Spiral Lancer and strengthened the power of smashing. The barrel and length of the spear bring powerful swing power.
The soldiers themselves wore chain armor, and although their defense was not strong enough to withstand various powerful attacks, nor the armor-piercing arrows used by conventional archers, the pikemen fighting in a square formation were able to defeat the pikemen as long as the battle formation did not break up. , enough to suppress most opponents.
fo
To a certain extent, this legion is actually somewhat close to the Macedonian phalanx, but Khosrow Yin does not pursue the fearless belief of the soldiers. Instead, he has great requirements for the strength of the soldiers to smash and poke, even if it is not for research If it's not in place, Khusro Yin even wants to customize the linkage talent for this new Lancer Legion.
Because in terms of positioning, the legion led by Vikas is actually a legion that suppresses horses, resists line advancement, and blocks the advance of conventional defense troops. If there is a linkage talent, combined with the current strength talent of the sergeant, it can This legion's ability to block and suppress is brought into full play. Unfortunately, the strength talent is easy to use, and it's a bit too difficult to link it up.
However, even without the linkage talent, the spear formation led by Vikas still showed quite good combat effectiveness. At least the hedgehog formation in front of them was really a headache for Sima Ju and others. The opponent's two-foot-long spear, with the spear The sudden situation of the formation made them uncomfortable.
Even without Miranda's special blessing of concentrating energy on the tip of the spear, just looking at the one-foot-long three-edged stabbing sword at the tip of the spear, Sima Ju and others did not want to try it at all. They were fascinated by this thing. If you poke it, the wound won't be easy to suture.
However, just because you don't want to try this kind of thing doesn't mean that Vikas won't push it forward. Compared to Nayin, who tries to reason with the commander on the battlefield, Vikas has experienced the era of Rahul and knows it very well. , the general's order is an order, and execution is.
Therefore, Khusro Yin's will was reflected. Vikas took advantage of the Han army's archers and Naresh, Nakuru and others to directly lead his elite troops to advance towards Guan Yu's army.
The speed is not very fast, but the overall battle line is very stable. As for Guan Yu's regular headquarters, which has already rushed to the second line of defense, when the archers cannot cover it in time, the dual-talented elites based on sharpness are obviously a bit confused when facing this thing. Claws numb.
"Ready the Yuan Rong crossbow!" Chen Hong greeted several comrades on the side, "The other soldiers bent down and prepared to break through the formation at close range."
Although he was appointed as a centurion by Guan Yu, there are three, six or nine levels of centurions. There is no doubt that a centurion like Chen Hong who can actually command thousands of people is definitely worthy of being the elder.
What's more, when he was appointed, Guan Yu also said that Chen Hong was temporarily parachuted and could be trusted in terms of ability. Moreover, Guan Yu had the largest number of Yellow Turban Qushuai under his command. This wave of backbone recruitment further reduced the number of soldiers under Guan Yu's command. With average intelligence, the number of illiterate Yellow Turban Qushuai has further increased.
Therefore, when Chen Hong gave the order, the surrounding backbones responded quickly and took out their repeating crossbows and bent down to shoot. The comrades around him also bent down and prepared under the leadership of the veteran backbones.
When Vikas' headquarters rushed to a position about ten meters away from the Han army, Chen Hong took out his repeating crossbow and fired directly at the opposite side. He held the trigger and fired the repeating crossbow horizontally, relying on the shock caused by each missed shot. , directly creating a scattering effect.
After all, at a distance of ten meters, one shot of a powerful repeating crossbow is enough to kill most opponents. Even if it is a shield guard, at this distance, if the crossbow fails to penetrate the shield, there should be a chance that it will be nailed to the shield. For ordinary soldiers, this kind of thing is basically equivalent to a fatal blow.
Therefore, with a wave of continuous fire, the six Guishuang soldiers in front of Chen Hong were hit by ten crossbows. Then the comrade beside Chen Hou, who was bending down, took advantage of the opponent's front row to fall, stepped on the opponent's spear, and poured his divine power into the broadsword. , one step forward, directly entered the inner circle of the Kushan soldiers' spear formation, and swept across with a knife.
With just a wave of counterattack, the elite of the Han army led their comrades into the Kushan spear array. With one Yuanrong crossbow in one hand and a long spear in the other, a wave of explosions broke out. Under the leadership of Chen Hong, they directly counterattacked Vikas's spear. The half-moon-shaped battle line was directly embedded in the gun formation.
However, this explosive crushing only lasted for a while. The spear formation under the calm command of Vikas did not adjust the battle line at all. Under Vikas's urging, it continued to advance forward in the form of a square formation. The rear continues to extend.
Many Han soldiers were stabbed directly because they were unable to parry. Even the top veterans, when they were unable to bypass the weak gun array and enter the inner circle, were extremely powerless against the attack of the formed gun array. Just like now, Only the part under Chen Hong's personal command could still maintain the battle line with the help of long swords. The other positions were in crisis when more long spears were stabbed at them.
This is because many of the veterans in Guan Yu's headquarters were born in the Yellow Turbans and have amazing experience in fighting gun formations. But the biggest problem is also here. Except for those soldiers who were born in the Yellow Turbans, other soldiers basically did not encounter large-scale gunfire on the battlefield. Formation experience - As the country became richer, the spear formation was gradually eliminated by the archers.
It is undeniable that a large-scale spear formation is very difficult to deal with on a frontal battlefield. Especially after Khusro Yin specially applied for a batch of imitation three-edged swords as gun heads for several spearmen regiments, the frontal aggressiveness changed. Even more outrageous.
Originally, the best way to face the spear formation was to cover it with archers. If you want to use the spear formation well, you can exert maximum attack power without shields. However, Khusro Yin's combat ideas are obviously streamlined. ——Archers, spearmen, and other elite units.
Among them, the archers are used to contain and counterattack the Han army, and the spearmen and cannon fodder form a square formation for frontal confrontation. When the archers and the opponent are counterattacking and suppressing each other, the spearmen and cannon fodder rely on large-scale to advance the frontal resistance line, and other elite arms Work together to strangle and blockade the Han army.
From a certain point of view, this idea is very strange, but if you think about it carefully, this combat idea is one of the best ways to contain the Han army. After fighting the Han army for so many years, Guishang lost more and won less. , but more than 100,000 Han troops died in the Ganges River one after another. Guishan was also summing up his gains and losses and adjusting his tactics.
The poor also have their own style of play, such as large-scale cannon fodder spearmen. If Miranda's power is concentrated and blessed, then after replacing the three-edged bayonet, there is nothing to curb the advancement of the shield guards when the scale is large enough. questionable.
What's more important is that a large-scale formation of cannon fodder spearmen is enough to strangle all the elites of the Han army except the shield guards, because the soldiers who have changed the gun heads and use long spears as long as they have a strength talent are enough. Under the premise of direct thrust, most defenses are broken.
Maybe other elite talents are difficult to get, but the talent of strength, which is easy to learn and difficult to master, is still very good. It is not the power blessing of two talents, but the power blessing of one talent. Han Dynasty, Rome, and Kushan all have one A lot of people can do it.
Even a group of ordinary soldiers training on their own, if the training intensity is sufficient and there are enough battles, they may randomly receive strength talents.
It can be said that the spear formation is the most suitable combat idea for the poor. Even if you can create a spear formation with fearlessness and other talents like the Macedonian Legion, and if you build it for tens of thousands, as long as you can complete the exchange of bows and arrows with the opponent, don't let the opponent's The archer corps severely damaged the spear array, and tens of thousands of fearless spearmen were enough to kill most opponents.
Khusro Yin also had this idea of fighting, so he brought 30,000 archers, commanded by Naresh, Nakuru, Vanana, and Amir, of which 20,000 were on the front line and 10,000 were on the front line. The central formation serves as a backup and can be replenished at any time.
And 30,000 spearmen. Although less than half of the spearmen are equipped with three-edged sword heads, the overall idea is that there is no problem, and the rest are the more reliable elites of the headquarters, such as Shah Rukh. , Nayin, Khusroyin, Gars and others' headquarters.
Of course, these archers and spearmen basically only have one talent, but it doesn't matter. The archers can entangle the Han archers and don't let the Han archers attack the spear formation. As long as the spear formation can execute the order and complete the resistance line advancement, it will be fine.
This is also the reason why Huang Zhong and the Crossbow Shield Guards are unable to take action. Huang Zhong's heavy-armed Sheng Sheng/Chang Shui is not a legion like the Crossbow Shield Guards that can ignore the strikes of bows and arrows.
Although they can parry with their armor and stomach, Huang Zhong's archers will inevitably be injured if the attack is covered, and the hit rate will definitely be affected.
As for the crossbow shield guards, they ignored the archer attacks, but could the crossbow shield guards attack the Kushan Spear Formation that was entangled with the Han army? Isn't that a joke? You can only hit archers in the distance, that's all. Occasionally your hand slips and the crossbow arrows fall somewhere else.
However, the biggest problem is here. Khusro Yin has built a lot of defenses in the Ayotta camp. The crossbow shield guards themselves have to rely on numerical superiority to fight. Because of the number of the headquarters, Guan Yu led the crossbow The number of machine shield guards is not large.
Coupled with the existence of fortifications and less than 10,000 crossbow shield guards, even if the hit rate is high, in this case, the damage will be about 200.
But Khusro Yin has at least 30,000 archers ready to dispatch at any time. Even after the crossbow shield guards fired their crossbow spears, it cannot be said that they severely damaged the elite archers under Khusro Yin.
So on the premise that on the Ayudu battlefield established by Khusro Yin, there was no way to penetrate the lance array flaw, and there were no archers to suppress the lance array, the three lance array legions on the front battlefield of Kushan faced the strength of the enemy. The Han army, which was obviously stronger than them, actually managed to stabilize like a rock facing the waves. Even if it broke into pieces from time to time, the Han army's attempt to penetrate was obviously blocked.
Guan Yu looked at the small map in his hand. This was the perspective of the military formation that Fazheng opened for him. The Han army made a large fat trident. On the left, surrounding the left camp in the north of Ayotta from the outside, were five thousand of Wang Ping's troops. People, the right road goes around Ayotu from the outside. The one with the right camp in the south is Liao Hua, and the one in the center leading ten thousand people is Wang Fu, Jiang Gong, Sima Ju, Du Yuan, Qu Gong and other generals.
Guan Yu has a big appetite. What he wants is to inflict heavy damage or even annihilate Khusro Yin's subordinates. Therefore, his battle line focuses on the outer blockade and internal lines. When Khusro Yin receives the information and carries out tail-cutting to survive, the center line consists of Kick back from the inside to the outside, wrap around the outside and wrap around the back.
However, Guishuang's combat ideas on the central line surprised Guan Yu. Khosrow Yin's combat ideas pushed the advantage of troops to a certain limit.
"I underestimated the generals of Guishuang. They are also growing, but this alone is not enough. Mobilize the shield guards to the center line." Guan Yu ordered with a calm expression.
