Balak, with a pale face, picked up the shield of the shield guard. As early as a year ago, he had heard that the equipment of the shield guard was outrageous, but seeing it with his own eyes and hearing about it were completely different. The latter could also be explained in words.
Denial, and the former, really put Barak into silence.
"It's just that the large shield equipped by ordinary soldiers actually weighs one hundred and fifty pounds?" Although Balak was smiling, he was inexplicably desolate. If such a large shield was given to Kushan, it could be used to make thirty people.
Use a good tip.
When he thought about this, Ballack felt a little cold. There was no obvious difference in quality between the two sides, but this gap in equipment made Ballack feel a little cold for no reason.
What blocked his previous fierce attack was not the talent of the soldiers born of hard work, but the most basic equipment. What this meant, as the top general of Kushan, Balak knew very well that when both sides were of the same quality,
, they will probably always be a little bit different from the Han army, and this refers to the real elite.
As for the largest backbone force, Barak tapped his shield with his finger. If the Han Dynasty could achieve such universal arming, then their core human wave tactics of Beigui and the military service system inherited from the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties would really be useless.
It's lost its meaning.
Among the top legions, Kushan can still popularize armor equipment, and at the level of those legions, ordinary armor equipment can no longer improve combat effectiveness so much, and those who can really rely on armor equipment to greatly improve combat effectiveness are
The most stalwart and largest group of talented soldiers, however, it is impossible for Kushan to provide armor to these people.
In this era, even the Romans, who had open-pit iron mines in Europe, could not equip all their soldiers with armor with the support of Pompianus.
In fact, the most that Rome can do at present is to equip the legions composed of citizens and civilians with armor. As for the larger European barbarians, they can only be armed with leather armor.
The popularization of armor was also an issue involving national security and the sufficiency of the treasury for Rome itself.
Naturally, it is impossible for Kushan to equip all regular troops with armor. Not to mention this kind of heavy armor, even the light scale armor Kushan cannot afford.
"The gap is so big that it makes people a little desperate. If the Han Dynasty uses this kind of armor as the basis, what else can we get?" Barak asked himself, and he was really heartbroken at this moment, even if this era is not only about equipment.
In an era of volitional theory, the vast majority of legions are really not qualified to talk about volitional theory!
Balak struggled to get rid of the unnecessary thoughts in his mind. He knew that he could never be shaken. No matter how strong the Han Dynasty was, it had reached a point where he could not turn back. There was no way he would surrender to the Han Dynasty. After all, Vesuthiva I
The trust of Barak cannot be let down. There will never be a shortage of such fools in this world.
"Kill!" Niu Jin roared and brandished his heavy sword and slashed in the direction of Balak, who was charging with the knife. Relying on his physical strength, Niu Jin slashed with several swords and succeeded with the help of the shield guard around him.
He forced back Barak who was advancing from left to right.
However, in just a few seconds of fighting, Niu Jin's body was cut open by Barak. Yes, even the shield guard's armor is not incapable of cutting the internal energy away from the body. To be precise, it can really make the body open.
The only way ordinary soldiers can parry the attacks of inner energy leaving the body is the shield guard's large shield.
Cao Zhang, who was roaring and roaring on the other side, was also at a disadvantage. After all, he only practiced Qi to become a gang. Before, Sahel could only be said to have suffered from carelessness. Now that he has calmed down, it is unrealistic for Cao Zhang to win it alone.
.
In the past, those who practiced qi to become a gang and cut off the inner qi from the body under the cloud qi were either guys like Li Tiao who already had the fighting power of inner qi leaving the body, or Guan Ping whose explosive power reached a certain upper limit, relying on the explosion
Take the other side away in one wave.
In a war of attrition, the longer it goes on, the more disadvantaged it will be to the weak.
In fact, the same is true for wars between countries. In small-scale collisions, such as the Korean War in later generations, the weaker side can rely on short-term explosive power, battlefield planning, and other aspects to overwhelm the strong.
of combat effectiveness.
For another example, if two countries with similar combat capabilities have not started a general war, their victory or defeat will sometimes be very unexpected. But this kind of unexpectedness is only for other countries and for both parties participating in the war.
If you think about the process, you will actually understand.
But when it really enters a full-scale war, that is, a war of attrition, just look at the Pacific War between the United States and Japan. There is only one thing to fight for in an overall war, and that is foundation. Whoever has a strong foundation can mobilize more soldiers and use more troops.
Whoever has the most resources will win.
For example, Cao Zhang's current confrontation with Sahel is actually like a weak challenging a strong one. It is true that he almost beat the opponent to death with his explosion and Sahel's carelessness before, but Sahel did not die suddenly on the spot.
After Le adjusted and calmed down to deal with Cao Zhang, the natural crushing effect of the internal energy leaving the body on practicing Qi to become a gang was truly demonstrated.
In this case, every second that Cao Zhang delays, there will be more danger, but what makes Cao Zhang helpless is that Cao Zhang really has no way to capture the Sahel.
"The strength is declining, right?" Sahel's shot swept across and forced Cao Zhang to retreat continuously. The momentum he had accumulated before gradually dissipated, and now Cao Zhang was clearly breathing.
"At least I can kill you!" Cao Zhang gritted his teeth, exerted force with his right foot, roared and rushed towards Sahel, his heavy saber slashed with a roar, but Sahel just dodged aside naturally.
By now Sahel has also discovered Cao Zhang's shortcomings, his poor experience and skills.
"Gumala, use it." On the other side, Balak has severely injured Niu Jin. To be precise, Niu Jin can save his life, largely because of the thickened breastplate, but even so, Niu Jin's chest
It also left a deep scar visible to the bone.
The other shield guards dragged Niu Jin away with all their might. However, there was no one in front of Balak to stop him. But even so, Balak expressionlessly asked Gumara to open the so-called Golden Eagle of the King's Account. They
We have been able to capture this group of shield guards, but it is too slow, and things will change if we are too late.
"Okay." Gumara knew what Balak was talking about, and nodded and replied. The strength of the Han army was indeed beyond their expectations. If they wanted to win a quick victory, then the Golden Eagle of the King's Account would indeed be a winner.
Very right choice.
At this moment, the shield guards under Cao Zhang were still forming formations to protect themselves, trying their best not to let the opponent tear their own battle line apart. In fact, the fact that only 3,000 people were able to delay it until now was quite unexpected. The battle line was not without flaws.
Instead, when Barak's men rush to a vulnerable position, several shield guards will step forward to ensure the integrity of the battle line.
In this way, the shield guards under Cao Zhang held the Kushans tightly. Except for a few soldiers who had to stand out with the determination to kill the Kushan front and create opportunities for their own side to adjust the front, the other soldiers tried their best to defend the Kushan front. Form a formation to defend.
Relying on the superhuman defense provided by the shield and relying on the desperate defense of each other among the comrades, even under the impact of the Kushan Guards several times larger than our own, the shield guard's front line was not overwhelmed. Maintain the stability of its own front.
It can be said that if the mutant shield guard holding a crossbow hadn't used up his own crossbow arrows, the current situation would never have been so embarrassing. Zhu Jun's three combination configurations were basically enough to deal with various opponents. It's a pity that Zhu Jun One thing that has been overlooked is the problem of physical arrows.
Compared with other archers who can carry one hundred arrows in two pots, the crossbow-wielding mutant shield guard only has twenty arrows in two pots. After all, each arrow of these people is equivalent to a short spear. A ten-shot short spear is already quite troublesome to carry, regardless of whether it is loaded or carried.
In fact, Zhu Jun's thinking and Huangfu Song's thinking still feel like they are stuck in the past. In Zhu Jun's opinion, twenty arrows should be enough. Each arrow can kill one person. Definitely enough to fight several wars.
However, the wars in this period were completely different from the wars twenty years ago. Guys like Cao Zhang did not use the crossbow as a melee counterattack weapon at all, but as a supplement to combat power, directly emptying the crossbow arrows, so that When it comes to close combat and when intimidation and protection are needed, there are no crossbow arrows available. This is why the current shield guards look so embarrassed.
If it were Zhu Jun's command, he would definitely run at first, running slower and slower. When the opponent catches up and gets close to fighting, he will use the crossbow machine to shock and counterattack, and then explode the combat power. After a wave of forced counterattack, he will use the crossbow machine again. After stopping and continuing to run, after doing this for five times, Kuishang was definitely in a dilemma.
It's a pity that Cao Zhang was too young and lacked experience. He used the crossbow as a supplement to his combat power, which directly consumed all his combat power, so that he is now quite embarrassed.
"Barak, get ready!" Gumara had already transferred the concept, and then conveyed the will representing Bei Gui out of the void. As soon as this belief and will fell into Barak's body, Barak I clearly felt the change.
Different from the last time when the old master Shan Yu Jinying was used to control the will of Brahma, the power used this time has the same source. Except for the use of external force in the opening process, the other parts are truly Beigui's own power.
Therefore, after it was turned on, the momentum of Beigui's soldiers present soared instantly. Under the control of a complete belief, Beigui's soldiers clearly felt the blessing of will.
At the same time, Pound, who was running all the way in the north of the desert, also saw the small dot in front of him from a distance, and then without saying a word, he pinched the horse's belly. This was not the time to be considerate of horse power.
