The iron pagoda is getting closer and closer to the shield formation. The soldiers in front know that it is difficult for them to survive. This huge power is really breathtaking.
Some of their legs were shaking, their hands were shaking, or their whole bodies were shaking.
That feeling is like knowing that you can't stop it but you still have to stand at the front to face a large truck that is speeding towards you. You know that you will die, but for some reason, you have to stand in front of it and welcome death.
What the soldiers were fighting was not the Iron Pagoda, but the natural fear of death in their hearts.
As the Iron Buddha approached, the fear was infinitely amplified as the earth shook. Their breathing was heavy, their eyes widened, and their whole bodies tensed.
The reason why they haven't retreated yet is because there is a belief in their hearts that supports them and keeps them from retreating.
They recalled the words of the instructors who spent time with them at the pre-war mobilization meeting.
[We can all be afraid, and we can all retreat, but once we are afraid and we retreat, our family and friends behind us cannot be saved. We fight here not only to win, but also to protect our families and friends. Friends and our land!
Ordinary people can be afraid and retreat because they have not received training and do not know why they are fighting, but the victorious army who has received training and knows why they are fighting must protect them!
The Shengjie Army must stand in front of the golden thieves and let all the golden thieves who try to advance know that if they want to pass here, they must step over our corpses! If we don't die, they won't be able to take a step forward! 】
After the instructors finished their inspiring words, they put on their helmets and armor, picked up their weapons, and went to the battlefield with the soldiers, standing on the front line and fighting together without fear of death.
In their words, even if the soldiers don't retreat, what qualifications do they have to retreat?
If the soldiers are allowed to fight bloody battles and they retreat openly, then what qualifications do they have to continue to talk to the soldiers?
Because we stand on the front line of bloody battles and live and die together with the soldiers, our ideas are definitely real and possible, rather than just a fantasy created by a charlatan to deceive people.
For the sake of the beautiful future that they can reach out and touch, they will not retreat.
If they don't retreat, the soldiers will naturally not retreat either. Everyone is at the forefront, facing the greatest terror without retreating.
I don't know who couldn't help the excitement and fear in his heart, and was the first to shout the words "no retreat".
So much so that everyone burst out shouting the slogan "Don't retreat" after hearing it.
Su Yong was inspired by his soldiers and took the lead in shouting "no retreat" and stayed on the front line.
The shouts were earth-shattering, but to the charging Iron Buddhas, it meant nothing.
In their eyes they could only see the stupid rebels who were about to turn into a puddle of flesh and blood, and in their ears they could only hear the roar of advancing horses.
So the impact of Iron Buddha Tu came to an end, and it collided head-on with the shield array.
Su Yong didn't know if others knew what happened at that moment, but he didn't know anyway.
He just used all his strength to hold up the big shield, his muscles tensed up, and together with the soldiers around him, he stretched his spear out of the shield and tried his best to hold up the big shield.
Then they met the iron pagoda's wild impact head-on.
Su Yong was at the center of the shield formation. Despite this, he did not encounter anything worthy of joy. The huge impact was not something that mortal humans could withstand.
Su Yong didn't know when he flew up. He only knew that the huge impact made him disconnect from thinking.
A violent noise sounded in his ears, and the spear he held seemed to hit something hard, and then the big shield was hit by something.
After the heavy impact, Su Yong was shaken all over, his head was dizzy, his vision went dark, and then he didn't know anything at all.
In Su Yonglin's eyes, all this was so shocking.
Countless soldiers of the victorious army formed a shield formation, using manpower and flesh and blood layer upon layer, trying their best to block the crazy charging iron pagoda.
The huge impact of the Iron Buddha can knock the infantry away almost at the moment of contact. Unknown how many soldiers were knocked away or trampled to death. The layers of shields were in pieces, and they were almost hit from the head by the Iron Buddha. To the end.
Countless soldiers were wounded by it, vomited blood, and lost their lives.
Row after row, Tiefutu broke through the defense line composed of flesh and blood of the soldiers of the Victory Army with an indomitable momentum, causing them huge damage.
The soldiers' spears were broken, their bodies were torn apart, their broken bodies flew across the air, blood splattered everywhere, and their lives drifted away like fallen leaves.
The iron pagodas were covered in blood, and it was all the blood of brave men.
Su Yonglin clenched his fists.
He has no other choice, this is the only way he can.
To pile up the iron pagoda with human lives and strong will, we must make the iron pagoda stop. If it can't stop, the red ax battalion's step forward will just serve the iron pagoda a hard meal.
On the endless plain, the flesh and blood of the soldiers formed an obstacle to the advancement of the Iron Pagoda. None of them retreated. Their obstruction was so tragic.
So much so that Su Yonglin felt that he would never forget this scene.
Even if his revolution wins in the end, he will never forget the sacrifices made by these brave soldiers.
If we have such belief, why do we need the Great Wall?
They are the Great Wall.
Su Yonglin's body was trembling, tears welled up in his eyes drop by drop, and the huge pain tore through his body and mind.
However, the impact of the Iron Buddha also slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It seems that these iron pagodas themselves did not expect that they were actually blocked by a group of "rebel army" soldiers holding large shields.
This group of thieves, who had just revolted less than a year ago, used their weak bodies, large shields and spears to actually stop them.
There was no fear on the faces of these soldiers, only intense anger and hatred.
Even during the collision, the last looks that the soldiers knocked away by them cast at them were angry and hateful.
It was as if they were not afraid of death, but hated that their bodies were not strong enough to stop them.
They seemed not to know what fear was, which surprised the Iron Buddhas.
Who is not afraid of death?
But that's certainly not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that the Iron Buddhas have indeed been delayed.
I don't know which row of defenses they broke through, but they finally couldn't push forward. They felt that victory was just ahead, but they really couldn't push forward. Even if they could push forward a little further, they would still push forward. Not moving anymore.
The war horse rushed to the end, panting heavily and letting out a scream. His legs went weak and he knelt on the ground, knocking the iron pagoda cavalry at the forefront.
Then he saw a Shengjie Army soldier whose face was half covered with blood. His face was filled with anger and his eyes were filled with murderous intent. He directly picked up the broken spear head and struck him hard with a heavy blow.
The next moment, he felt a buzz and the world was far away from him.
The broken spear hit his heavy helmet directly, and the strong impact immediately made him roll his eyes and fall to the ground, not knowing whether to live or die.
And this is also the prelude to the counterattack.
Su Yonglin, who was personally watching the battle from a high platform in the distance, covered his eyes, held back tears, and decisively issued an order for a full-scale counterattack.
"Counterattack! Counterattack! Counterattack! Red Ax Battalion attacks!!!"
Su Yonglin couldn't hold back his emotions and roared.
This is the prelude to victory!
He saw the hope of victory!
War drums representing a comprehensive counterattack rumbled, and the heavy drums spread far and wide on this vast battlefield.
Wanyan Alin was stunned.
He found that the heavily armored iron cavalry Iron Buddha he used as a last resort could not be charged.
Such a powerful impact formation could not be charged, and it was actually stopped.
Those rebels...
How is it done?
He stopped thinking about everything else.
The Iron Buddhas also had the same idea, but their idea did not last long.
Because the Shengjie Army's counterattack began.
A deafening crash sounded, and the Red Ax Battalion, the ace of the Shengjie Army in heavy armor, finally appeared.
Armed with terrifying large axes, they rushed into the formation in two groups, roared, raised their axes, and struck the Iron Buddha fiercely, either on the horses, or directly on the cavalry.
Chopping up the cavalry, going down to chop off the horse's legs.
The violent impact shook both the man and the horse to pieces, causing them to vomit blood and fall to the ground dead.
There was no chance of anyone being saved.
What's even worse is that the iron pagoda in the front row is blocked, and the ones in the back row are still charging, unable to restrain the war horses at all.
The front squeezed the back, and the back bumped into the front. No matter how much the Red Ax Camp disturbed it, many iron pagodas were hit by their own people until they were dizzy and bleeding.
The soldiers of the Victory Army blocked the charge of the heavy cavalry with their own flesh and blood. After making huge sacrifices, it is now the turn of these heavy cavalry to repay their debts.
This kind of scene is undoubtedly what Xin Qiji wants to see the most.
With red eyes, he raised the axe, his muscles tensed up, and he hit the iron pagoda warhorse closest to him fiercely.
The feeling of heavy hammering made him extremely satisfied.
The war horse whined and fell to the ground, twitching all over, and the cavalry also fell to the ground unable to move.
Xin Qiji would not let him go. He raised the ax high again and smashed it down fiercely.
The heavy armor on the cavalry's chest was deeply dented, and a large amount of blood splashed out from the helmet, all over his body.
The armor was very strong and didn't break into pieces, but the man was definitely dead.
Xin Qiji did not continue to care about this dead man. He continued to rush forward with strong anger and murderous intent.
In the stagnant Iron Buddha team, the warriors of the Red Ax Battalion were like unparalleled steel warriors. They tried their best to wave the heavy axes in their hands and hit every Iron Buddha soldier they saw. , or war horses.
The lack of visible limbs and broken arms is undoubtedly the most civilized aspect of this special battle. The splatters of blood also add some artistic beauty to this "civilized" battle.
Iron armor can keep the body intact to the maximum extent and protect it from external injuries, but internal injuries can also kill people.
A thousand Tiefutu were stagnant here. They were attacked head-on by the heavily armored ax soldiers of the Red Ax Battalion, but they could hardly fight back.
At the same time, the ordinary soldiers who did not die also began to fight back.
They wielded their spears with big shields on their heads, swung them round, and then smashed them on the heads of the iron pagodas.
The Tiefutu had to find ways to fight back and draw out their sidearms to resist, but because they were crowded together and had difficulty moving, they often hit their heads with big axes and did not turn around.
Chaos piled upon chaos, the Iron Buddhas finally collapsed, following in the footsteps of their predecessors decades ago.
This may be an outcome they did not expect before the impact.
But the Jin army's attack did not end there.
The peripheral cavalry saw the Iron Buddha charging into the formation, and they followed closely, trying to open up the situation through the gap created by the Iron Buddha.
However, as Tiefu Tu's attack sluggished, the cavalry that followed also reined in their horses urgently, and the attack was blocked.
Because they were relatively easy to move, they did not suffer too much damage due to the chaos. They did not crash into it under emergency braking, but the gap was blocked by the Iron Buddha and they could not rush in.
At the same time, the Shengjie Army's counterattack had begun.
Zhang Yuejing saw that arrows were ineffective against heavy armor, so he fired at the cavalry approaching from the outside. It happened that these cavalry were so close to the military formation, and it would be a shame not to give them a good beating.
As a result, a rain of arrows struck, and the cavalry suffered a heavy blow and had to resume their maneuvers, making it difficult to support Tiefu Tu.
The elites of Tiefutu suffered a heavy blow in this situation and suffered heavy losses. After reacting, Wanyan Alin was so angry that he roared angrily, asking the remaining cavalry to rush to rescue people.
So the peripheral cavalry had to go to support under the rain of arrows.
They tried to charge into the formation, but were blocked by the spears. The unarmored horses were timid and could not get close. So the frontline officers simply led their men to dismount and fight on foot, charging forward with cavalry shields in order to meet the iron pagoda that needed to retreat and save as much as possible. loss.
But their intentions were not well executed.
On the one hand, the arrow attacks never stopped, and on the other hand, the Red Ax Battalion's unparalleled demon-like attacks caused heavy losses to Iron Buddha Tu.
They fought cavalry on top and war horses on the bottom, dancing like tigers and tigers with a big ax in the wind, as if they had endless strength in their bodies.
Their number was only three hundred, but their combat effectiveness was comparable to that of three thousand people.
The iron pagoda suffered heavy losses and was difficult to withstand. However, their armor was too heavy, and even one person could not dismount. Subsequent reinforcements came to rescue them despite the rain of arrows, and they were able to rescue some people, but they were unable to save more.
Because the Red Ax Battalion, led by Xin Qiji, a muscular man, had almost killed through the entire queue of the Tiefu Tu. After the Tiefu Tu lost its mobility, it had almost no resistance and was destroyed.
Then Xin Qiji led the armored infantry of the Red Ax Battalion to the front line and built the Great Wall of Steel.
The Jin army's charge to the battlefield failed completely.
However, the battle is still not over at this moment.
The Jin Army still had the advantage of mobility on the battlefield, and the Shengjie Army won the defensive victory. However, if the battle situation was not advanced quickly, victory would never come so easily.
In other words, Su Yonglin grasped the key to turning the tide of the battle.
Although the time is only such a short moment.
