Chapter 48: The Battle of Fengyang II
Seeing that Liu Zongmin was irritated, Lin Dong turned around and said: "Brothers, behind you are our fathers and fellow countrymen, our comrades in arms, and the material support for our Anton Army to live and survive. For them and for our Anton Army to survive, we
You must never take a step back..."
When Liu Zongmin saw Lin Dong starting to mobilize before the war, he was secretly angry. He didn't expect this kid to be so capable. He raised his morale with just a few words. What kind of army is this? Why has he never heard of it for so long?
Even so, he could not take a step back in front of Fengyang who was about to capture it. As a vanguard, he must capture Fengyang City as quickly as possible and occupy important strongholds in the city. Only in this way can King Chuang gain the maximum
Interests.
According to King Chuang's plan, the army will officially attack the city tomorrow. But what is surprising is that news came from the city this afternoon. All the officials of Fengyang City will go out of the city tonight to watch a singing and dancing competition. The city is empty. They are attacking Fengyang.
good time.
So King Chuang, Li Zicheng and others discussed and decided to send a vanguard force to take advantage of the emptiness in the city to break into the city and capture Fengyang. The others would enter the city early tomorrow morning.
Sure enough, when Liu Zongmin came to Fengyang with a vanguard force of more than a thousand people, the city gate was not closed tightly.
After Liu Zongmin sent someone to investigate, he did not drive in directly with a large group of people. Instead, he disguised himself as a group of dandies and drove a carriage in a swaggering manner.
When the officers and soldiers at the city gate saw that the other party was a group of dandy boys, they didn't pay much attention at first. A few of them were still talking and laughing about who would win the competition tonight.
However, when they got closer, they discovered that the two leaders of these people were full of momentum, and they were coming towards them with a murderous aura.
At this time, an old soldier at the gate of the city saw something was wrong, and said with a surprised look: "I seem to know all the dudes in Fengyang City, but I have never seen this person before me, and this person has an extraordinary aura.
He is not an ordinary dandy."
Hearing what the old soldier said, everyone looked sideways. When they looked at the person coming, Liu Zongmin and others had already approached. Seeing the officers and soldiers staring at them, they no longer hid, and drew out their long knives and pointed at the group of guards.
The city's officers and soldiers jumped on him.
When these officers and soldiers saw the other side pulling out their weapons, they knew something was wrong, so they shouted loudly and ran away, trying to escape.
But how could they compare with wandering bandits like Liu Zongmin? They were quickly caught up and their necks were chopped off with a knife.
Liu Zongmin quickly captured the city gate, climbed up the city wall, and lit the cannon at the city gate. There was a sudden boom, and the entire Fengyang City was shocked.
Liu Zongmin did not stop, and after ordering some people to guard the city gate, he led a large group of troops into the city.
At this time, almost all the senior officials of Fengyang City were attracted by the competition outside the city. It could be said that the city was leaderless, and the unprepared officers and soldiers were immediately killed and ran around in all directions.
In Liu Zongmin's crazy attack, the entire Fengyang was quickly opened up by him. Just when they were triumphantly preparing to continue to capture the important stronghold of Fengyang City to see what good things were inside, news came from the front that the invading army was attacked by a group of soldiers.
Well-equipped troops blocked the way, and for half an hour there was no progress.
Hearing the news, Liu Zongmin was immediately furious. Now that the entire Fengyang has almost fallen into his hands, there are still people in the city who are stubbornly resisting. Isn't this looking for death?
So he stabbed over to see who was so unafraid of death that he dared to block the way. It was precisely because of this that the above scene happened.
"Brothers, come to me and kill them all..." Liu Zongmin waved his sword, and everyone drew out their swords and rushed towards Anton's army.
"Spear, stab..." With Lin Dong holding the battle, Black Bear had completely calmed down. The results of his past training were perfectly reflected at this moment. When he saw the intruders coming to kill him, he immediately gave orders loudly.
After hearing the black bear's order, everyone suddenly became energetic and shouted: "Spear, stab."
The shouts shook the sky for a moment, and the first batch of enemies who entered the attack range of the spears were instantly stabbed by the spears and fell to the ground. Liu Zongmin has been fighting for so many years and has never seen such a situation, even a pig.
, he would also struggle when he was killed, wondering why the elites he relied on for survival were so vulnerable in front of such a spear formation.
"Pike, put it away..."
"Pfft..." Countless streaks of bright red blood spurted out as the spears were drawn out, and the most elite soldiers fell to the ground.
"Brothers, come to me and kill them all." Liu Zongmin did not believe in evil and roared loudly.
When the intruders behind heard the order, the crowd immediately became excited and rushed ahead desperately.
As a result, rounds of massacres unfolded on this narrow street. The intruders were now like a group of lambs waiting to die. As soon as the people in front fell, the second wave of people were squeezed up.
Pushed by the comrades behind them, row after row of soldiers were beaten to death like rabbits.
The Anton Army's slogans never stopped from the beginning of the battle. They did not expect that the war would be so easy. As long as they thrust out their spears according to the commander's orders, victory would follow.
As the enemy continued to fall, the Anton Army's slogans became louder and louder, and spears thrust out mercilessly like a forest of spears.
For the Chuang Army, the slogan of the Anton Army is like a curse. As long as the curse is spoken, a group of people from the Chuang Army will surely fall. No matter how powerful these soldiers are in martial arts or how rich their combat experience is.
Facing the curse on the other side, they could only go forward with their chests high and die.
"General, what kind of battle are we fighting? These are devils, devils!" Some soldiers saw that all their comrades in front were dead and it was about to be their turn. They were already crying. In fact, they wanted to run away more than cry.
, It's a pity that such a narrow street, except for the spear in front, has been occupied by comrades in other directions. He has no way to escape except to go forward and die.
In the blink of an eye, a city wall made of corpses had been built in front of Anton's army, and the ground had already been stained red with blood and turned black.
But the Anton Army's slogans are still going on. They don't seem to understand fatigue. As long as the attack doesn't stop, their slogans will keep shouting.
"The one on the other side is the devil, let's run away..." I don't know who shouted so loudly among the invading army. The entire invading army collapsed instantly. Everyone turned around and ran frantically towards the way they came from, for fear of running away.
If you are slow, you will be bitten to death by the devil behind you.
In the age of cold weapons, the advantages of the spear phalanx were unquestionable.
First of all, the length of the spear is long enough. As the saying goes, one inch is longer and one inch is stronger. Most of the invaders have short weapons and cannot reach the enemy at all. In the absence of long-range strikes, the spear is undoubtedly a weapon of war.
On the battlefield, it is said that a sword is not as good as a stick, and a stick is not as good as a spear.
In other words, the damage caused by a knife is not as great as that of a stick, and the damage caused by a stick is not as great as that of a gun.
In fact, the reason is very simple, because the knife will leave some skin trauma at most. If the opponent is wearing armor, it is basically difficult to break through the armor.
The power of the stick is much greater. After all, the stick is a blunt weapon. Injuring the enemy depends entirely on strength. If you encounter a strong opponent, even if you wear armor, you will be shocked to the point of vomiting blood or even hurting the internal organs.
Compared with sticks, guns are more powerful. First of all, guns are difficult to defend against. Even if you wear armor, a spear can penetrate through the gaps in the armor. Once you are stabbed, the injury will not be lighter. If you are hit by
If it is stabbed in the internal organs, even the great gods will have difficulty bringing the person back from the gate of hell.
This is also the reason why modern gangsters often use machetes instead of daggers when fighting, because machetes look intimidating and have little lethality. Slashing the opponent with dozens or twenty knives is not enough to kill, but it can have a great effect.
Good deterrent effect.
The dagger is not so lucky. Once it is stabbed, it is very likely to cause death. This shows that these little gangsters are also smart people.
In this way, under the attack of Lin Dong's spear phalanx, the soldiers of the intruder army were stabbed by the opponent's spear before they could take action, and were seriously injured.
According to ordinary people's thinking, even if the spears are densely packed, they should be able to dodge them.
But the spear phalanx designed by Lin Dong was extremely tricky. He made the soldiers in the two rows in front thrust their spears to the left.
According to human habits, people are generally right-handed, that is to say, they mainly rely on their right hand to hold things.
On the battlefield, you hold a knife in your right hand and a shield in your left hand, because the knife is an offensive weapon and has no defensive capabilities at all.
Lin Dong's spear phalanx took advantage of this advantage of human beings, ordering the spearmen in the front two rows to stab left continuously, attacking the enemy's right side. As mentioned before, the right hand is usually
Used to hold a knife, so it is difficult to defend against spear attacks.
Chuang Jun soon discovered that no matter how he dodged, the opponent's spear would always hit him as if it had eyes.
It wasn't until their chests were pierced that they discovered that Anton's spears were not only from the front but also from the side. What was even more depressing was that these spears did not come from the same direction.
In this way, even if they dodge the spear in front of them, they can't dodge the spears on the side. Unfortunately, it's too late when they understand.
It is a pity that the comrades in the back watched helplessly as the comrades in front died, but did not know the reason and kept rushing forward until their own chests were pierced by the opponent's spear.
"Spear, stab..." As shouts came out one after another, popping sounds continued to come out, the same screams came out, and the same corpses fell to the ground... Soon, the streets were full of corpses all day long.
, these people all died under spears.
This was also the last group of intruders that Anton's army stabbed, because at this moment, all the intruders behind had fled, and even Liu Zongmin could not restrain them.
Compared with the embarrassment of the Chuang Army, the Anton Army was much more calm. After the battle, except for a soldier on the front who sprained his waist due to excessive force, the others were unscathed.
