After several futile counterattacks, the disciples of Tianshi Dao achieved nothing except stopping three or four chariots. Instead, they lost more than two hundred lives. The bravest and most ferocious people fought back during this wave of counterattacks. Most of them died in the battle, and the remaining people were all fearful. Although they were old troops who had followed Xu Daofu for many years, they were still afraid of death deep down, especially under such a terrible impact. The iron hoofs and chariots were enough to shake their confidence and morale. Some people simply lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, trying to slow down this terrifying wave of chariot assaults before making plans.
The "rumbling" sound of the chariot seemed to have faded away. Twenty steps away, these guys lying on the ground finally thought to themselves: "The Heavenly Master bless you, the Heavenly Master bless you. If you are sincere, you will live forever." "They were about to get up from the ground, but they saw hundreds of heavily armored tanks rushing out of the smoke and dust in front of them again. This time, they rushed out from the space between the two vehicles just now, and they Within these ten steps, there is a new round of impact of heavy armored tanks!
More than two hundred disciples of Tianshi Dao, before they even had time to stand up, were crushed by these chariots on the way forward, turning into corpses like the vague pile of flesh, blood, bone and mud beside them, and they crawled quickly. More than three hundred people flew towards the non-human corpses around them. No matter how disgusting they were, at least this was the only way to survive now. If they didn't dodge quickly, they would end up turning into this pile of meat. La.
The smell of blood permeated everywhere, and the rumbling chariot wheels rolled over this Shura killing field. Blood and flesh were flying everywhere, and the liver and brains were smeared on the ground. Looking from a distance, the more than a thousand Tianshi Tao disciples who just wanted to attack the Jin army's shield formation were seen. At this moment, everyone was lying on the ground, and it was not known whether they were really dead or pretending to be dead. On the passing chariot, the halberdiers and gunmen were facing the people lying on both sides, whether they were living people or corpses. After a series of blows and stabbings, there were probably less than 200 people still alive lying on the piles of corpses on both sides. It was truly a disaster.
However, the nightmare of these guys who survived the disaster was not over yet. When they struggled to stand up, they saw a desperate scene. After the attack of two chariots with a total of more than 200 passengers, behind these chariots Behind them, there were dense infantry, more than two thousand of them, scattered in various square formations. Each formation had about two to three hundred people. They were well-equipped, fully armored, holding weapons, swords and The shield-thumping soldiers were in front, there were four to five hundred of them, and behind them were the spear-bearers wearing heavy armor. The spears were raised diagonally upward, like a forest of steel. The same thing was that everyone's eyes were filled with excitement. Flashing cold light and murderous aura.
With a burst of intensive drum beating, and with Tan Zhi's general's flag rising and fluttering in the wind, these sergeants who had been prepared for a long time roared in unison, and the jumping soldiers rushed forward, facing the second soldier just now. After the chariots attacked, the Tianshi Dao disciples who survived the disaster between the two chariots were slashed and stabbed with swords, and then quickly rushed forward without taking their heads.
The long phalanx at the back was lined up, holding the scorpion, and marching forward in uniform steps. Along the way, facing the piles of corpses on both sides, the Tianshi was still tumbling, panting, and wailing. Dao disciples, the sergeants on both sides will go out to count people and give them the last blow. At this time, all the Tianshi Dao disciples who were just in front are completely and absolutely dead. After four rounds of explosive killing, Even the chance to pretend to be dead no longer existed. Except for the fifty or sixty people who were frightened, kneeling on the spot, throwing away their weapons, and raising their hands to beg for mercy, all the exposed people had blood holes on their bodies. , died horribly.
Tan Zhi rode his horse leisurely. Beside him, in addition to the more than 100 general guards led by Tan Shihuai, there were also three to four hundred lightly wounded sergeants, civilians, and auxiliary soldiers who had taken off their armor. In addition to being equipped with self-defense weapons such as single swords and daggers, everyone also carried several long hemp ropes on their shoulders. When they saw those Tianshi Dao disciples kneeling down to beg for mercy, they went up to tie them up, and then sent out a group of The two men escorted dozens of prisoners on the battlefield towards the direction of the Chinese army.
Tan Shihuai's face was already smiling. He looked at the Tianshi Dao disciples lying in corpses in front of him and said: "My lord, your strategy is still powerful and you can keep your composure. This wave of chariot assaults, Thousands of thieves were killed in one go, and all the demon thieves behind were also in chaos. Look, they are running away everywhere."
Tan Zhi said calmly: "This is nothing surprising, and it is not my fault. General Fu led the chariot troops to ambush here. It was Brother Daogui's arrangement. Without this chariot troops, we would not be so good. Fight, but I always feel a bit regretful. Although this army of demon thieves has as many as two thousand, and there are some red swordsmen from the general altar who fell from the sky in front, it is still a little short. If five thousand demon thieves come to attack Formation, then this wave of assault can directly destroy their entire front army."
Tan Shihuai smiled and said: "It's good to be able to kill two thousand of their troops. Now we have killed more than a thousand, but it's a pity that most of them are in pieces. We can't even behead them to judge their merits."
Tan Zhi shook his head: "In this battle, not counting beheadings, there is indispensable merit. Defeating this main force of demon thieves is the greatest merit. You see, these are all tough bandits and old thieves, even those who attack the formation." More than two thousand people have been defeated like this, and they are not completely defeated now. There are still many demon thieves ahead who have formed groups and are resisting stubbornly."
Tan Shihuai looked forward and saw five or six hundred disciples of Tianshi Dao. They were all divided into groups of five and three-person skirmishers, trying to resist the oncoming chariots. Since they were not like those accomplices who had just faced this death impact at a distance of about twenty steps, it was relatively easier to deal with it after a distance of about a hundred steps. At least, it gave them enough time to try. Go around to the side or rear of the chariot and attack, instead of hitting it head-on.
It's a pity that at such a moment of impact, the archers and repeaters on the tanks began to show their prowess. On each tank, there were archers with excellent shooting skills, wielding big bows, or carrying Repeating infantry crossbows were aimed at the Tianshi Dao disciples who were twenty or thirty steps in front of them, shooting them by name. Often these Tianshi Dao sergeants would not take more than three or five steps before they were shot through the heart by an arrow and fell down with a thud. Down, submerged in smoke and dust.
There were also those sergeants who wanted to get around. After suffering heavy losses, they just ran behind one or two tanks. When they were about to attack, they only heard the sound of arrows piercing the air. It turned out that they were from behind. The chariot came again, and the hunter instantly became the prey. Arrows were shot, halberds were stabbed and the chariot was hit, and all kinds of tragic ways of death were endless. (End of chapter)
