All this happened too fast and too suddenly. From the time when the Tianshi Taoist army pulled down the fence, to the Jin army's ambush and throwing of axes and halberds, to the rain of arrows from the archers, it only took about 20 seconds. Before the disciples even had time to figure out what was going on, they saw that the row of companions who had just rushed out in front of them fell to the ground and died almost instantly, and there was an additional steel square formation in front of them, the Qi Sen Village , pointing directly at yourself.
The leading senior disciples of Tianshi Dao, after all, have far more battlefield experience than other ordinary members. After getting over the initial shock, they quickly reacted and faced the bewildered sergeant behind them. They shouted sternly: "Quick, release arrows, shoot, shoot them to death!"
But before they finished speaking, there was a sound of bow strings ringing, followed by a whistling sound after a bow arrow shot through the air, like the scream of death. The sky suddenly became dark, and the sunshine that was bright just now was covered by dense , blocked by arrows like dark clouds covering the sun, a large number of sergeants who were already sweating on their cheeks and feeling unbearably hot suddenly felt extra cool. Some even had difficulty breathing due to the heat and after running with all their strength, and their bodies were sweltering unconsciously. The ground let out a long sigh of relief, and was about to say: "It feels so comfortable!" Before these words, there was a burst of pain from all over the body. For example, a fallen arrow penetrated the leather helmet and hit him hard. The terrible feeling when it was stabbed into the head was the first and last time in my life!
These highly penetrating bows and arrows are unable to withstand the light armor and leather armor of the Tianshi Taoists at a distance of less than fifty steps. Because the formation is too dense, many people instinctively want to swing their swords. When they swung their swords above their heads to block, they only swung once or twice. Either their elbows hit their comrades and were stopped, or some people directly swung their swords into the surrounding comrades and screamed. There were sounds one after another, and the Tianshi Dao disciples who crowded together were no longer shot down one by one, but fell down in rows and pieces. The distance from the twenty steps in front of the fence to Haogou was almost The Tianshi Dao disciples who were all throwing themselves on the ground, plus the first batch of more than 300 disciples who were knocked down by hand axes, nearly a thousand Tianshi Dao soldiers fell into a pool of blood in almost one minute.
Round after round of arrow rain poured forward mercilessly, while the Beifu soldiers' long-armed heavy armor phalanx began to advance in a uniform pace. More than a thousand soldiers, carrying Long branches, shoulder to shoulder, people touching each other, occupy almost all of the two to three miles wide front, forming an insurmountable steel forest, advancing steadily forward with a shocking murderous aura.
Many swordsmen of Tianshi Dao reacted, and none of them were shot down. The sergeants on the front line roared crazily, waved their weapons, and rushed forward. They thought they could let go after entering the stronghold. They killed them, but they never expected that in front of them was an iron wall composed of heavy armored infantry. The blades were inch long and inch strong. In this place, it was perfectly explained and proved that dozens of skilled soldiers The leading swordsman either wanted to get in through the gap between the poles, or wanted to roll in using sword skills. There were even more than ten people with superb light skills who simply rose into the air and wanted to stab in mid-air, but failed. There was no chance at all. These soldiers of the Beifu Army practiced this kind of long-distance push after forming up day and night. The iron cavalry could not be trampled, the chariots could not be overwhelmed, and the light soldiers could not get close. If the formation was not disrupted by a large number of bows and arrows, There is no warrior in the entire world who can break through such a steel killing formation head-on!
Blood splattered everywhere and screams continued. None of the dozens of swordsman masters who charged head-on could get within three feet of the soldiers of the Beifu Army. They rushed directly and were attacked by long spears from the front. They were stabbed to death in the distance like a candied haws. Before the thugs get even two feet forward, three or four long branches will hit them. First, they will stab them in front to block the way, and then they will stab them from left to right, impaling them to the ground. As for those who are flying in the air, they will be the most miserable. , there is no room to dodge in the air, and it is still more than ten feet away from the people, so the second row of long spears placed on the shoulders of the front row soldiers stabbed diagonally into the air, and they were skewered into meat skewers in the air. Then several long poles were pulled horizontally and vertically, and the corpses were divided one after another in the air. The internal organs and severed limbs were like rain, pouring down, spreading to the place three or four feet in front, and it was bloody. When I hear it, I feel like vomiting.
Zhang Meng opened his eyes wide. Such a cruel and tragic scene made him, who had experienced hundreds of battles, lose his bearings for a moment, until the dozens of swordsmen who were the first to attack were killed on the spot using various methods of piercing and dismembering. The large number of swordsmen behind were frustrated. Under the double blow of fear and the rain of arrows from the opponent, the two groups fought and did not dare to move forward. They even started to retreat. Only when he realized that the front army had Seeing the danger of collapse, he quickly shouted: "Archers, release arrows, release arrows, shoot the Jin soldiers to death!"
The more than a thousand archers who had been standing in front of the trench, facing the opposite fence with bows and arrows, suddenly woke up from a dream. They all strung their arrows, set the angle, and pointed at the Jin army's formation about forty or fifty steps away. , began a large-arc lob shot. The arrows from both sides shot up into the sky almost at the same time, met in the air, and smashed into pieces. Then the remaining arrows flew towards the enemy formation in front. , falling hard towards his target.
The sound of "pop" was heard endlessly. The Jin army's heavy-armored phalanx also experienced a wave of arrow rain. The round of arrows that hit them numbered about a thousand. Many of the sergeants' helmets, arrow armor, and chests were They were all shot, but thanks to the cover of double-layered heavy armor and the sophisticated protective gear made of stainless steel, these heavy-armored shooters could still maintain their fighting formations and postures despite the lack of shield protection. In addition to the more than twenty casualties who were shot in vital parts and fell to the ground unable to hold on, the other sergeants continued to move forward in uniform steps, shouting slogans.
In turn, the rain of arrows from the Jin army's archers caused huge damage to the Tianshi Dao swordsmen who had no armor or shields. After a round of arrow rain, at least a hundred swordsmen fell to the ground. Half of them died immediately, and the rest were rolling on the ground in pain and wailing.
As the soldiers of the Beifu Army moved forward, the archers who followed also moved forward and shot arrows. Soon, the Jin army all left the camp and attacked the place in front of the trench where a large number of Tianshi Dao sergeants were standing. , but now, the place is full of corpses, and blood flows into rivers, soaking the original trench in blood, and there are less than 1,500 swordsmen of Tianshi Dao's front army in front of them. More than half of the casualties were still retreating, forcing the archers to retreat while shooting. Some of them even stood too far forward and could be directly hit by the arrows of the Beifu Army.
