"That's not right!" "There's a scam in it!"

Although they couldn't see the details from hundreds of steps away, the generals on the high platform were so sophisticated that they immediately smelled the ominous smell. They wished they could fly to the Tianwu camp and warn Li Jiheng not to act rashly. When the troops are equal, as long as they

The defensive side firmly occupies the geographical advantage and stabilizes its position. No matter what means the opponent adopts to attack, they can calmly take advantage of their attacks.

In the art of war, this is called responding to all changes by remaining unchanged and striking after the attack.

If the attacking party fails to attack for a long time and loses all its energy, it will never be able to escape the outcome of defeat.

Suddenly he saw the military flag waving, and a red-robed iron-clad cavalry rumbled down from the mound and rushed towards the white-clad light-armored cavalry. After all, Li Jiheng could not tolerate repeated harassment by the enemy cavalry and wanted to drive them away from the main battlefield. Tianwu

There are about fifty cavalrymen in the battalion, all of them are fully armored. Under the leadership of Han Chongxun, they are like tigers pouncing on prey with murderous intent.

The cavalrymen of the Tianyong Battalion whistled, turned their horses' heads and fled into the distance. They seemed to be fearful, which was in great contrast to their arrogant performance just now.

Han Chongxun and others held their breath and taught their opponents a lesson. How could they easily escape? The two cavalrymen chased and then fled, far away from the mound in the blink of an eye.

"Dong Dong! Dong Dong!" The rapid beating of drums sounded, and the battle formation of Tianyong Battalion seemed to suddenly wake up. The soldiers in the front row quickly moved to the side, and the shield soldiers originally hidden in the middle pushed to the front. These shield soldiers

The soldier was extremely tall and strong, wearing a helmet and armor. The shield in his hand was a specially made one, eight feet high and three feet wide. The surface was also covered with raised giant iron nails. But dozens of giant shields were connected in a line, like a moving city wall.

, forcing towards the mound.

Behind the shield wall, soldiers with swords, shields and spears stared at them with murderous intent.

"What?!"

At the moment when Tianyong Camp was completely unveiled, both Li Jiheng, Zhao Kuangyin and the Forbidden Army General in the distance all looked surprised - there were no crossbowmen or archers in Tianyong Camp?!

Except for the Tibetan, Dangxiang, Khitan and other grassland tribes, the armies of all countries in the Central Plains are mainly infantry, and crossbowmen and archers account for more than 50% of the total infantry. They are the most important arms in any army and rely heavily on them.

The long-range lethality provided by crossbows. For example, in the Tianwu camp, the crossbowmen and archers together accounted for 70%, the sword and shield soldiers and spearmen accounted for 20%, and the cavalry only 10%. Therefore, the sharp archers are

He is highly regarded in the army and has a high status.

Typical infantry encounters of this era involved crossbow shooting first, and then close combat. Often, whoever had a better crossbow and a more accurate archer would win the battle. But Fu Jingtao completely gave up.

The crossbowmen and archers skipped the crossbow and arrow shooting process and directly sought opportunities for hand-to-hand combat, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

Zhao Kuangyin nodded slightly, with admiration in his eyes.

However, all the generals of the Forbidden Army scolded one after another: "Nonsense! What's the difference between doing this and sending yourself to death?" "What a whimsical and blind command!"

Monk Li Jiheng was confused. What was Fu Jingtao planning? A ray of regret filled his heart. If the cavalry had not been dispatched, the shield wall could have been destroyed with just one charge! He gritted his teeth and ordered: "Shoot!"

Whoosh! The crossbow arrows fired in volley, white feathers filled the sky, and a spectacular and terrifying rain of arrows fell down. The arrows hit the armor, the shields jingled, sparks scattered, and bounced to the ground, completely unable to stop the pace of the shield soldiers.

.

Li Jiheng gasped, the opponent was actually using an iron shield?! An iron shield weighed more than a hundred kilograms, and combined with the weight of a suit of armor, ordinary soldiers could not bear it, but warriors who were both internal and external could move freely——

With the double protection of iron shield and armor, the threat of crossbows can basically be ignored.

The rain of arrows rained down, but the strong and tall shield wall was getting closer and closer.

It was the first time for the generals of the Tianwu Camp to encounter such armored shield soldiers who were not afraid of crossbows. They felt a deep sense of powerlessness, their confidence was frustrated, and their positions showed signs of loosening.

With veins bouncing on his forehead, Li Jiheng decisively ordered: "Shi Baoxing, attack!" The armored shield soldiers were too thick but not agile enough, so they could only be solved by close combat.

Shi Baoxing, who was already impatient, raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, kill me!" After saying that, he rushed out at the head, fighting spirit boiling, like a lion swearing to defend its territory. Nearly a hundred swordsmen and spearmen followed closely and ran like a flash flood.

It surges and flows, and the violent killing intent is shocking.

Almost at the same moment, the sword and shield soldiers in Tianyong's camp suddenly accelerated. They used their round shields to protect the vital parts of their bodies, and started to fly quickly with light kung fu footwork. They climbed over the shield wall in the blink of an eye.

Boom! Two torrents of steel, one red and one white, collided head-on, and the earth trembled. No one was willing to give in to the other, and they all used their full strength to chop and assassinate. I saw white armor and red armor mingling, cold light undulating, and countless dust particles.

Sand was flying, shouts and shouts were shaking, and the battle was becoming fierce.

The pikemen of Tianyong Battalion also began to run faster, and the spear formation quickly approached the battle group.

Li Jiheng's heart sank. If all the enemy's soldiers were thrown into the battle, how could Shi Baoxing be able to resist? He immediately ordered people to pull up the military flag and follow him, brandishing their iron spears and charging straight to the front line.

The general's charge is the signal for a decisive battle.

The generals of the Tianwu Camp immediately became red-eyed. The soldiers' bloodiness and pride were completely aroused. Without any mobilization, everyone threw away their crossbows, drew their sabers, and rushed down the mound with shouts and roars.

Rumble! The impact of hundreds of fresh troops was so violent. The swords and guns were broken upon the impact, armor pieces flew, and the entire front line was forcibly pushed several feet away. However, the pikemen and armored shield soldiers from Tianyong Battalion came one after another and joined forces.

Withstood the Tianwu camp's counterattack. The soldiers from both sides came and went, fighting with all their strength without reservation, and some people kept wailing and falling down.

Zhao Kuangyin sighed softly: "Tianwuying lost!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an earth dragon rolled over from the distance. It was the light armored cavalry from Tianyong Camp who had gone and returned, heading towards the rear formation of Tianwu Camp with the empty door wide open. The armored elite cavalry led by Han Chongxun was far away.

It's useless to rush because it's behind us, as we can't prevent the tragedy that's about to happen.

The moment the Tianyong camp cavalry arrived on the battlefield, the Tianwu camp collapsed and fell.

The generals of the Forbidden Army felt chills in their hearts, and they looked at each other in silence. Fu Jingtao expected the enemy to be like a god in this battle, and they were closely linked with each other. Whether it was the use of armored shield soldiers or the maneuverability of light armored cavalry, they were all stunned.

People were deeply impressed. Especially because he dared to break the tradition and use his strengths and avoid weaknesses in tactics, which stunned the Tianwu camp and gave everyone who watched the battle a strong shock.

From now on, no one will dare to say that martial arts warriors are not suitable to be soldiers. As long as they are trained properly and used properly, the iron army they form will be unstoppable!
