A connoisseur will know if it is there as soon as he reaches out his hand.

When the Sirius army started to press over like a big black mountain with the beat of drums, Sun Pu suddenly realized that he had made a mistake.

He shouldn't have put the servant army at the front.

Originally, this was the normal state of Liao army's current operations.

The servant army is used to entangle the opponent first, and then when the two sides confront each other, the main force of the Liao army can attack from the flanks or around the rear. Basically, one attack can completely defeat the opponent.

But this needs to be based on a foundation, that is, the servant army can form a confrontation situation with the opponent. Even a short confrontation is enough for the Liao army to complete a flank attack or bypass.

These servant armies are basically adapted from the imperial army of the former Song Dynasty. In terms of combat effectiveness, they are actually not bad. Especially now, in order to show their worth in front of the new master, they are fighting even more bravely, which is in line with the rumors.

There is a big difference in the kind of weakness.

This matter once troubled Sun Pu very much.

Why did these Song armies appear to be very fragile when fighting against the Liao army in the past, but when fighting against their own people, they appeared to be extremely brave!

It's truly amazing.

But today, Sun Pu discovered that he was wrong.

It turns out that the bravery of these servant armies is only based on enemies of the same level.

When their enemies are much stronger than them, their collapse can really be completed in the blink of an eye.

The equipment of these servant armies is not bad. The Forbidden Army around Tokyo and Gyeonggi has always been the best-equipped army in the entire Song Dynasty army. This is also the most concrete manifestation of the Zhao and Song royal family's strong leadership and weak branches.

The reason why the Hebei frontier army is strong is that it was forced out of the continuous battles with the Liao people for decades or hundreds of years.

Accompanied by the roar of the divine arm crossbow, the servant army took the lead in shooting.

Sun Pu's frown deepened.

Because the distance is still a little further.

The huge damage of the God's Arm Crossbow is the strongest within eighty steps. Above this distance, even iron armor can be easily broken by the God's Arm Crossbow. Even if it is not fatal, it can still make the target hit by the arrow

The battle was greatly reduced.

Within fifty steps, it would be fatal.

But now, it's still a hundred steps away.

Sun Pu knew that the servant army was afraid after seeing the enemy's power.

Not to mention the servants at the front, even he could feel the pressure coming from behind.

The long knives in the hands of the attacking Sirius army were all raised, stirring continuously in the air. Most of the arrows were shot down in this way, and the few arrows that got in caused minimal damage.

Sun Pu, who observed carefully, could clearly see that this round of volleys from the servants in front did not cause any trouble to the opponent.

When the first phalanx passed by, the opponents who were left behind because of injuries either supported each other or moved independently to both sides. One of them was probably dead, and his two companions each grabbed one of his arms.

With his hands, he dragged him aside, and he could see the bright red blood stains left on the road after the man was dragged.

But that's all.

The God's Arm Crossbow is very powerful, but it's also troublesome to cock.

Few people could cock the God's Arm Crossbow with just their arms, so after a shot, they had to stop and re-string the God's Arm Crossbow.

In a fierce battle, there are only one or two opportunities to use this powerful bow and arrow attack. Then the two sides get mixed up, and there is no chance for large-scale coverage and shooting.

The servant army wasted their lives.

Eighty steps, seventy steps, sixty steps, and then Sun Pu saw the opponent's shooting.

The buzzing sound made by hundreds of divine arm crossbows firing at the same time is enough to frighten the soul when gathered together.

Sixty steps later, the huge destructive power of the God's Arm Crossbow was fully revealed.

Almost at the same time as the string sounded, Sun Pu saw that the first square formation of the servant army was completely cleared.

But these losses were not enough to shock Sun Pu. Deaths and injuries on the battlefield were commonplace for generals like them. They considered the battlefield situation rather than the number of casualties.

But the next scene made Sun Pu freeze up.

He saw the Sirius Army's crossbowmen cocking their bows almost instantly.

Of course, it can't be done by one person.

Instead, the soldiers in the two rows at the front and back cooperated with each other, and the two of them cocked a divine arm crossbow.

Without even the slightest pause, they completed the process of re-stringing the God's Arm Crossbow in a smooth and smooth manner.

Then in the second round, they raised the shooting angle, and their targets were the crossbowmen in the servant army.

At this moment, the crossbowmen in the servant army had just re-stringed the God's Arm Crossbow, stood up from the ground, and were about to fire the second round.

However, the enemy's crossbow arrows took the lead and fell from above their heads.

The screams kept coming one after another. The armor of the soldiers in the shooting camp was much worse than the armor of the field soldiers.

If you fall behind this time, you will suffer heavy losses immediately.

"It's amazing, you can wind it like this!" A general exclaimed from beside Sun Pu.

"It's really amazing." Sun Pu knew that if he wanted to complete such winding so smoothly, he would not be able to do it without practicing thousands of times.

And the huge costs hidden here are probably beyond the imagination of most people.

The God's Arm Crossbow is exquisitely designed and powerful, but the more sophisticated the weapon, the greater the probability of damage. Often the damage to a small component will render the God's Arm Crossbow useless.

After completing such a large training, I don’t know how many crossbows the enemy on the opposite side has worn out.

Sun Pu, who comes from a businessman family, is quite sensitive to costs.

And this also represents the strength of the enemy.

This army is completely different from the Song army that I have seen before.

Then, he truly saw the difference in this army.

The first arrows from both sides are facing each other head-on.

Rather than saying it was a hedging, it was better to say that the other party bumped into me.

Because after the first round of long-range confrontation, our own servant army had stopped and was hurriedly organizing its formation. Too many people were shot dead and injured, and there were gaps everywhere in the team. The army must be rearranged.

Just be neat.

The reaction of the general of the servant army left Sun Pu speechless.

This is standard procedure.

However, the enemy came up too fast.

The enemy's formation was not disordered at all.

The increasingly dense drumbeats seemed to hit Sun Pu's heart one by one.

At the front of the team were more than ten generals.

The commander, battalion general, and team general are all at the front of the team.

Behind them is a square formation of twenty-five horizontal and twenty vertical.

The team was marching so fast, but their phalanx was still neat and orderly, without any disorder.

This looks very nice, but people who have not experienced it personally cannot understand the difficulties here at all.

Not to mention that this is still in the middle of a battle.

"It's going to be bad!" Sun Pu took a deep breath, raised the spear in his hand, and shouted sternly: "Get ready to fight."

Behind him, thousands of Shan soldiers raised their weapons at the same time.

"If the defeated army comes down later and collides with our formation, shoot them immediately." Sun Pu whispered to the generals beside him.

"Understood!" The generals on the left and right understood, and rode away together.

Sure enough, just one fight and the servant army collapsed in an instant.

Both sides of the battle had almost the same formation, and their generals had received a rigorous education from the Song army since childhood. The infantry of the Song Dynasty was unique in the world. No matter how they trained or fought, they were all the same.

But they were taught the same thing and learned the same thing. Once on the battlefield, their performance was completely different.

The first servant army formation was defeated, followed by the sound battalion with weak resistance, and then the servant army's bones collapsed like an avalanche, one after another.

In the end, those servants who had not been attacked started to flee.

Sun Pu's face looked ugly.

"Tell them to form a formation behind us and reorganize the army. The brigadier general will attack later. If they dare to run away, they will be killed by the generals and above!" Sun Pu said sternly.

"Yes!" The soldiers led the troops and galloped away.

"Shushan Army, advance!" Sun Pu raised his spear.

"Forward, forward!" Several battle camps of the Shushan Army slowly moved forward.

Wang Zhu slashed a fleeing enemy in front of him in two with a sword, but he did not take another step forward. Instead, he stood with his feet spread wide, leaned the bloody sword on the ground, and stood firmly.
