Pickaxes and short swords are more lethal and can directly "cut" through thick armor. Every time they are dug, there will be a bloody hole.
In just a few short breaths, more than a dozen forbidden soldiers fell to the ground.
On the other hand, among the Forbidden Army, not to mention the vanguard, there were a hundred people, but not one of them was equipped with a melee armor-piercing weapon.
It's not that the Imperial Guards were careless, but they felt that there would never be a situation where the two armies were fighting on the legal field.
To deal with some thieves Xiaoxiao, using the rifle and bow and arrow in his hand is more than enough.
Even in the face of possible "military soldiers", you can still use the Bucha to form a formation to assassinate.
This kind of tactical thinking is very correct, but it can't help but be suspected of talking on paper.
The Forbidden Army, which lacked actual combat experience, had no idea how powerful it would be if both sides were composed of heavily armored soldiers and were attacking each other.
The vanguard holding rifles could not form a formation at all. Whether they were facing the enemy charging head-on or being pushed by their comrades in the rear, they had to plunge into the arms of the opponent.
This kind of battle between hundreds of people, no more, no less, is extremely chaotic in most cases.
Especially in battles between heavily armored soldiers, any tactics or formations are of no use at all.
The two sides are head-to-head, and whoever can knock the other down will have the upper hand.
House seemingly endless rain……
Just as the Forbidden Army was struggling to hold on, an even more desperate scene happened.
On the Beixi soldiers' side, except for the vanguard who had prepared melee armor-piercing weapons in advance, only half of the soldiers in the rear were armed with rifles.
The other half was actually holding a long-handled ax and a mace!
Compared with the thrusting advantage of the Buhu, long-handled axes and maces, although unable to stab, can chop and smash.
The two sides were huddled together, and Bu Hao's thrusts could not be used at all. In this way, the advantages of long-handled axes and maces were revealed.
After a rapid and intensive change of personnel, the second row of soldiers holding rifles retreated one after another.
The soldiers holding long-handled axes and maces moved to the second row.
Under the protection of the vanguard, they hacked and smashed the forbidden troops indiscriminately.
All members of the imperial army were equipped with mountain-patterned basin-collar armor. They relied on their superiority in armor to act tyrannically.
Whether facing a small thief or a traitor wearing light armor, he can easily crush them.
Unfortunately, facing the Beixi soldiers who survived the bloody battlefield, the Forbidden Army was filled with despair.
Even the proud heavy armor of the basin collar still looked fragile when faced with the long-handled ax that was struck head-on.
Every time this long-handled ax falls, the huge force can directly split the thick armor.
But after all, the long-handled ax is still mainly used for chopping. Due to the influence of the armor, its lethality is not that terrifying.
But when faced with the mace, the Forbidden Army truly understands the fragility of life.
As long as the huge mace is smashed down, no matter which part it hits, it will be enough to directly deform the armor.
Through the armor, the arm of the forbidden soldier was broken, and the internal organs were shocked.
If you are unlucky and get hit head-on, even through the helmet, your brains will burst.
This battle was chaotic, but swift.
Facing the fierce attack of the Beixi soldiers, within just a few breaths, the Imperial Army could no longer hold on, leaving behind more than thirty corpses and dispersed hastily.
This breakup is even more like the end.
The soldiers of Beixi, who were tightly gathered together, continued to advance, and the scattered Forbidden Army they encountered were like chopping melons and vegetables.
Even the most elite and physically powerful Forbidden Army, if they fail to escape in time and are stuck by a large number of Beixi soldiers, will face the siege of seven, eight, or even a dozen Beixi soldiers.
What kind of pumpkin, short sword, long-handled axe, mace, walking stick?
They were summoned from all directions. If any forbidden army could not hold on for a moment, they would be beaten to death.
The Minister of Justice, who had been arrogant just now, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that the Imperial Guards, who were said to be the best among the best, were actually killed and their armor was thrown off. They were scattered in chaos.
"This...how is this possible?"
"Forbidden Army! This is the Imperial Army!"
"The best of the best in Kyoto, whether it's armor or weapons, they are the best among all the troops."
"Even the intensity of training is miles ahead of other garrisons."
"Why are people facing Qin Feng so vulnerable?"
Just when the Minister of Punishment was shocked, the voice of the Minister of Dali Temple came from beside him.
The Minister of Dali Temple was also shocked and stammered: "This... these are just ordinary Beixi soldiers."
As soon as these words came out, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment was like five thunders hitting his head, and he kept stumbling.
That's right!
These are just ordinary Beixi soldiers.
The guards of Tianji Camp, known as Beixi's most powerful force, have not yet appeared.
Xie Yun'er and Xie Bi were also stunned by the scene in front of them, and felt chills running down their backs.
Xie Yuner's eyes widened and he said blankly: "This...is this the combat effectiveness of Beixi's soldiers and horses?"
When Xie Bi was young, he also fought on the front line, fighting bravely and with iron horses.
He had even fought against the Beidi army, and he knew how big the gap in combat effectiveness between the frontline troops and the troops stationed at the rear was.
Since the founding of Daliang, the troops and horses in the northern border have been constantly attacking the Beidi army. Their actual combat experience has allowed them to dominate the garrison of Daliang.
The Beixi soldiers in front of them were obviously more brave and tough than ordinary northern soldiers and horses.
At this moment, Xie Bi understood why Beixi County had so few troops.
At its peak, there were only more than 20,000 people, but it could frighten Beidi. Even a general of Chen Si's level had to devote most of his energy to dealing with Beixi County.
"Feng'er, you really trained a pack of tigers and wolves!"
The people who had been watching before did not run far away.
It is everyone's nature to watch the excitement. Thousands of people were hiding in the distance, with their heads raised, looking at the battle in the execution ground.
Watching the Imperial Guards being crushed by Beixi soldiers, voices of exclamation arose one after another.
"Oh my god! This is the Forbidden Army. Facing the soldiers of Beixi, they are as if they are made of paper and can be broken with just one poke."
"It's no surprise that among the soldiers and horses in the world, the northern border is the most powerful, and among the northern border, the soldiers of Beixi County are the most powerful."
"Back then, the Marquis of Qin led a mere hundred men to kill all over Beidi."
"Although the Imperial Army is well-equipped and well-trained, they have not been tempered on the battlefield after all."
"Yes, to put it bluntly, the Imperial Guards are all pampered old soldiers."
"Hahaha, let me tell you, Lord Qin will definitely not be a coward. In order to save the guards of the Tianji Camp, he dared to directly enter the enemy's territory."
"Now that my father-in-law and his unmarried wife are being pushed to the execution ground, I'm afraid it won't stop until the entire Kyoto is turned upside down."
"Hey, father-in-law? Wife? Have you forgotten that when a little maid next to him was injured, the Marquis of Qin went crazy to take revenge on Beidi, not to mention the Xie family's father and daughter?"
"When it comes to protecting shortcomings, our Lord Qin is truly the best in the Liang Dynasty!"
