Chapter 2841 Send to death?
At this moment, the little princess looked at the densely packed army of defenders and the mighty barbarian army a hundred meters away from the defenders. She felt a little shocked and even a little scared in her heart.
This was the first time she saw the scene of war with her own eyes.
She stared at all this blankly, thinking - is this a war?
So many people are going to kill each other on this battlefield?
It's... really scary.
"General Zhang, how is the situation...?"
The little princess searched for a long time, but could not find Yang Tian's figure in the dense crowd, so she couldn't help but ask General Zhang next to her.
General Zhang observed the situation with a stern expression, and replied without looking back: "Report to the Palace...oh no...Miss Fei'er, if you put aside that trump card, the current situation is not optimistic.
As expected, the barbarians gathered almost all their strength.
I estimate that this barbarian army could number 45,000 people.
It is estimated that many of them are women and old people, but the number is indeed huge, almost twice as many as our city defenders.
If we just fight normally, our more than 20,000 city defenders will face such a terrifying number of enemies. Even if a miracle occurs, more than 80% of the defenders will be killed or injured! Not to mention... if a miracle doesn't happen... then...
Maybe the city was destroyed and people died..." When the little princess heard this, she couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
If she hadn't come here, she wouldn't have known that the situation in Guiyun City had become so critical.
Let's make a slight assumption. If Yang Tian didn't make a prompt decision and bring her here after knowing the disaster here, wouldn't it mean that Guiyun City would have been destroyed today?
It's really scary to think about it! The little princess took a deep breath and suddenly realized what a right choice she made to come here with Yang Tian.
She lowered her head, clasped her hands together, put them on her chest, closed her eyes, and made a prayer gesture, thinking in her heart - Brother Yang Tian, come on.
It's all up to you.
But you...you must be fine! "The enemy has begun to set up shields and attack," General Zhang said suddenly.
"Well?"
The little princess opened her eyes again and looked at the enemy troops outside the city.
I saw that when the barbarian army rushed to about 80 meters away from the defenders, the entire army suddenly slowed down slightly.
Even the front line of the army stopped slightly.
The few rows of soldiers at the front seemed to be carrying huge shields behind their backs.
Some are made of wood, and some are rattan shields supported by woven rattan.
These shields are very huge, as tall as half a person and about one meter wide.
But because the material itself is relatively light, even if it is so huge, the weight is not unbearable.
Previously, these soldiers carried these large shields behind their backs to facilitate their march, and their speed was not greatly affected.
At this moment, they took out these large shields from their backs, put their hands in front of them, and formed several rows of thick shield walls that stretched for hundreds of meters! Then, they held up this shield wall like this,
Continue marching forward.
The speed was almost half that of running before, but the strong pressure brought by the shield wall made the soldiers on the defensive side of the city look even more solemn.
You must know that this method of charging with a shield wall is very heavy but also difficult to stop. It can easily break up a defensive formation like Guiyun City that has been gathered together.
The defenders of Guiyun City were attacking more with less, and their numbers were nearly half less than their opponents. Only by setting up a good formation and uniting in defense could they have a chance of survival.
Once the current formation is broken up and the few people are defeated separately, the army will definitely be defeated! Of course... the tactic of charging with heavy shields also has a huge shortcoming - that is, it is too cumbersome.
At such a sluggish speed, the party holding a shield can easily be kited.
If the opponent directly disperses the camp, spreads out in a flexible manner, keeps a distance, and constantly uses bows and arrows and other long-range means to harass the back row of the side holding the shield from the side, then the side holding the shield will become a target.
.
Therefore, this heavy shield charge tactic is not difficult to target.
But... it is worth mentioning that at present, the Guiyun City defenders cannot be targeted using this method.
Because they are defending the city! Behind them is the city gate of Guiyun City! If they spread out and fly kites, the opponent will directly break through the city gate and enter the city to burn and kill! This is of course absolutely impossible! So, at the moment,
Under this situation, the defenders of Guiyun City really had no way to deal with the heavy shield charge of the barbarian army. They could only fight head-on, and then face the fate of being scattered and killed! There is no doubt that these barbarian armies are
Come prepared.
This move just defeated the city defenders! Of course the soldiers on the city defenders side also understood this.
But he also prepared to die, gripped his weapons, and prepared to fight to the death... At this moment... a figure suddenly emerged from the front of the city defenders.
That's right, he walked out of the city defenders, walked to the open space in front of the city defenders, and then continued to walk forward, facing the thick shield wall and thousands of soldiers and horses! The soldiers in the front row of the city defenders
Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.
None of them knew this young man, but seeing his armor, they thought he was an ordinary new soldier.
Now this ordinary soldier suddenly walked out of the defensive camp and took the initiative to greet the enemy's shield wall?
Isn't this a way to die! "Who is that! Come back quickly! The enemy is coming!"
A soldier shouted quickly.
However, the young man did not look back and continued to move forward.
The barbarians who were advancing with shields had already arrived about sixty meters away from the defenders.
And this young man came to a place about thirty meters away from the defenders, which was the middle point of the open space between the two armies.
The sudden appearance of such a person in such a large open space would of course appear very abrupt and obvious.
Soldiers from both armies quickly noticed such a person.
Of course, the shield soldiers who were charging with shields on the side of the barbarian army had no fluctuation in their hearts when they saw such a person suddenly rushing out, and even wanted to laugh a little.
They didn't care at all, and had no intention of stopping, because in their eyes, in a few seconds, this reckless boy would fall under their shield wall, be knocked to death, and trampled to death.
Or be crushed to death.
It will not have any impact on their charge tactics at all.
