Mangzhong's requirement for the eldest son is to throw a wave every ten seconds. The speed does not need to be very fast, but it must not be random. When throwing, he should circle the direction of Fulward and hit him to death. As for the rest, even if the enemy rushes in front of him,
, and absolutely don't mess it up, project it neatly and uniformly.
In addition to the first wave of arrows, there were waves of spears thrown after them. With the terrifying speed brought by the instant burst of power, even wooden spears could inadvertently cause damage and damage to Fulward's most elite headquarters.
die.
"Boys, follow me and charge!" Mang Zhong stabbed the elite camel rider with a gun. With his strong body and the advantageous physical strength of waiting for work, with the cooperation of the guards, he stabbed a camel to death in a few blows.
Riding Headquarters.
At the same time, more camel riders rushed up. As the top elites who had participated in the Imperial War, even if they were ambushed, even if they were at the critical point of cooking, even if they were missing a meal, they would still have some.
Hungry, when faced with the onslaught of Mang Zhong, he did not blow up the camp because of this, but instead grasped his weapon immediately.
Then the middle and lower-level officers headed by the centurions immediately directed the commander, identified the main direction of the attack, and then organized the manpower to start attacking Mangzhong on the spot.
Yes, the performance of these well-trained middle- and lower-level officers in the initial response to chaos and emergencies is almost at the same level as that of good generals like Fulward.
As a result, although Mangzhong caught Fulward by surprise, he did not go all out as Mangzhong thought. He directly broke into Fulward's main formation with a large-scale gun formation and exploded the temporary camp where Fulward was stationed.
A gap.
But one move is not enough, there is a second move. I came earlier than you, and I am here to block you. I need at least three axes.
The frontal confrontation failed to gain the upper hand, and was even suppressed. Even the next generation leader of the Qiang people in the northwest Tibetan area, Mang Zhong, was slightly injured. Although this wave of gun battles directly caused hundreds of casualties,
However, the Kushan soldiers gradually stabilized their position amidst the chaos.
In this case, the already arranged second and third teams pressed forward from both wings, fully demonstrating the Qiang's military superiority, and with the flag waving, he ordered his eldest son to throw spears with spear heads.
Yes, although the Qiang people are poor, they are still backed by the Han Dynasty. They still have iron spear heads, but on the one hand, Mangzhong does not have enough time to make so many throwing spears. On the other hand, even if they are all iron throwing spears,
, it may not be effective in the hands of the Qiang people under his command.
In view of this, it is better to use sharpened wooden spears first. When Kuishang adapts to the blows of the wooden spears, he has already begun to use his shoulder armor and breastplate to hit the opponent with two iron spears when he cannot dodge in time.
"Change the iron throwing spear!" Mangzhong's eldest son commanded the only team among the Qiang people in the northwestern Tibetan area who had the talent for instantaneous power explosion. He ordered them to pull up one of the three throwing spears on the right side in front of them, and adjusted it.
After taking a breath, he threw the spear in the direction of the Kushan elite in his peak state.
The Kushan elites, who had endured five waves of spear throwing in the past and had lost dozens of men and were mostly injured, had already correctly understood how to deal with these wooden spears.
The power is not weak. If the camel rider doesn't have armor, he will die on the spot if he hits a vital point. But if he has armor, he needs to use armor to block it and parry well. At most, he will be bruised and a little stuffy, even if he makes a mistake in parrying.
, as long as you don't get hit in an unarmored position, you'll be fine.
So facing this wave of spear attacks, the experienced camel rider made a routine parry based on his previous experience.
The Kushan elites who have stabilized their position and maintained a smooth arc on the battle line, under the command of Fulward and Sidney, are ready to catch the Qiang's young men extending from the left and right sides with minimal losses, and then
Try to counterattack and get out of the battle.
At this time, Fulward's face was obviously gloomy, and there was even sweat on Sidney's forehead. He could not understand why Mangzhong would come out from here at all. You must know that it was just an accident that they thought of this road before.
But now such a surprising thing happened in front of Ward and Sidney.
"It's not a big problem. The opponent is alone. We just need to use all our strength to defeat the opponent." When the iron spear was thrown at him, Fulward ordered with great determination, "It's just a Qiang!"
The iron spear dropped with a scream on top of the Kushan soldiers who were preparing to parry the Qiang trident. It was suitable for parrying the dense front line of Qiang assaults, and was undoubtedly at a disadvantage when facing the spear.
The Kushan elites, who already had experience in dealing with wooden spears, reflexively used their own armor to throw the spear when they were unable to dodge or block.
A tragic scene appeared in front of the advancing Qiang people. Many of them were unable to dodge because the formation was too dense. The blocking camel riders chose to use armor to throw spears. However, unlike the previous wooden spears, the iron spears could not penetrate the shield.
Wei's armor, but it can tear apart ordinary chain mail without any problem.
The Camel Cavalry itself is not a legion known for its defense. Especially after losing its mount, it cannot share qualities. The hard data is only slightly better than the ordinary whiteboard dual talent. It relies entirely on actual combat experience and the middle and lower backbones to judge the situation.
He won many battles against the Qiang people.
A legion that relies on reliable skills and experience to win will expose shortcomings that have been concealed until it can only rely on hard data.
It can't be said to be brittle, but it is still an opponent that can be easily penetrated by the powerful spear thrown by using the instant burst of power.
That's right, some powerful spear throws, at good angles, can even knock a camel rider through.
It was just a wave of accidents. Led by Fulward, they retreated from the Shangshung Dynasty all the way here. The Kushan elites, who lost less than a thousand, suffered hundreds of casualties in an instant.
There were probably less than a hundred people killed on the spot, but there were hundreds of soldiers who were pierced by powerful spears and were seriously injured and howling. Such a tragic scene, even with the will of the Kushan elite who had experienced hundreds of battles, could not
It will inevitably be a little hard to bear.
It's not that I haven't encountered spear throwing before, but even the spear throwing thrown by Xiliang cavalry has never beaten this group of people before. After who let them go to the Tibetan area, there was a big problem in logistics supply.
, coupled with the lack of the powerful qualities shared by camels and the inability to wear another layer of heavy armor on top of the chain armor, the strength that camel riders can exert is extremely limited.
The sharp shrinkage on both ends of the offense and defense led to a huge loss in this kind of hard-quality competition, which led to an extremely embarrassing scene.
"Hahaha, boys, charge with me!" Mang Zhong, who was slightly injured after being slashed by a soldier from the opposite side, saw such a bloody scene and rushed forward with a wild laugh without even bothering to bandage and apply medicine.
Seeing such a scene, Sidney's hands and feet were already cold. He had already realized a fatal flaw in Fulward's elite, and immediately rushed over and grabbed Fulward, "General, you lead the people to retreat westward quickly, directly from here.
Enter the mountainous area of northern Tibet, and then follow the general direction to the Karakoram Corridor. I will stop them first. We can no longer fight and retreat quickly."
"How can a mere 20,000 Qiang people stop me!" Fulward angrily unfolded his mental image. After enlightening in the Tibetan area, not only did Fulward's strength rise to the limit, but his mental image was also further strengthened, just because
There are some restrictions that Fulward has not used before.
Dozens of victories and hundreds of draws brought by the scale of war have blessed Kushan elites. Unlike the blessings that only left more than 20%, Fulward has achieved breakthroughs. After enlightenment, he has a better grasp of mental images.
Profound, it further distorts the rules of the balance, and while eliminating the adverse effects of failure, it also obtains the means to explode in a short period of time.
That is to say, just like Li Jue, the innate power and mental blessings explode in a certain period of time, bringing about an extreme blessing effect in a short period of time, as well as a long cooling time.
Li Jue's eggshell defense is actually the basis of the ideal defense of the cavalry headquarters. It is the long-lasting power of the general's legion's talent that fully explodes within a quarter of an hour, bringing about a terrifying defensive ability that almost catches arrows in the face.
Because Fulward was defeated so miserably in that battle, and the Xiliang cavalry's face-to-face attack was too shocking for Fulward, when he took the step to advance to the mental level, Fulward naturally chose to compress the burst time, in exchange for
Higher explosive intensity.
Along with Fulward's roar, a dim glow quickly extended to every Kushan soldier. The explosive improvement allowed the Kushan elites who were caught off guard to stabilize their position on the spot.
The path of Fulward is just like that of camel riding. There are no bells and whistles, it is pure strength, speed, and defense improvement. However, what Camel Rider lacks most after losing his mount is the numerical value. In Fulward's mental image, it is supplemented.
After calculating the numerical values, the soldiers of the Camel Riders truly showed their due combat effectiveness.
The sword slashed out, and the pure strength and speed brought out a booming sound in a flash of shocking light. Just hearing this sound made Mang Zhong, who was facing it head-on, feel bad. He tried his best to block and parry the blow with his spear.
The numbness in his arms made Mang Zhong look extremely ugly.
A mere Fulward's team actually suppressed him in a head-on battle. You must know that as a Qiang people, the habit of preying on the weak is almost instinctive. Although the leader may not necessarily be the strongest person in the tribe, at least he is.
He is one of the strongest group, otherwise, the position of the leader would not be secure at all.
However, Mangzhong, who is considered to be the strongest group among the Qiang people in the northwest Tibetan area, when Fuwode unfolded his mental image and really went all out to kill the Qiang people who blocked him, Mangzhong's strength was only enough to compete with Fuwo
The rate of troops under Germany's command.
In fact, this is the biggest difference between those below the empire level and those at the empire level. Without a formed dual-talented legion, there is no chance to grasp the essence of the talent, and thus it will be difficult to smelt and strengthen one's own foundation.
After a long time, it will lead to Mang Zhong, who has also practiced Qi to become Gang, and practiced Qi to become Gang from scratch, directly falling into a disadvantage when facing an opponent with smelting skills.
This gap was not obvious at first sight, but as the times progressed, the more elite talents the empire analyzed, the more complete the system of ordinary legions, and the more people who could make it to the end.
In other words, people who have not been exposed to this system can only rely on their qualifications and understanding to analyze it on their own, while those who are exposed to this system will move forward step by step. Perhaps in terms of the upper limit, the former has a greater possibility, but in terms of
On the lower limit, the latter is more guaranteed.
Everything that Newton created by relying on his own qualifications and understanding can be touched by future generations only in high school and college. This is the difference between unsystematic and systematic. It is not that the latter is better than the former. It can only be said that the latter stands on the former's side.
on the shoulders.
The same is true for Fuwode's soldiers and Mangzhong. It's not that Fuwode's soldiers are more qualified than Mangzhong. It can only be said that the Qiang people's power system is too far behind. Without the premise of connecting with the Han Dynasty's power system
, too far apart.
This is also the reason why Fulode is confident of crushing the Qiang people even when the strength ratio is as high as five to one. Quantity is just quantity!
It collapsed at the first touch. After regaining its due strength, the camel rider's hard power almost completely crushed the Qiang people.
But it was almost crushing. If they could be stronger, the Qiang people led by Mang Zhong would definitely collapse due to the gap in strength, but they didn't. After using all their strength, the Camel Riders faced two consecutive attacks with the will to die.
His son died on the spot, and Mangzhong, who did not retreat, did not flee.
With more people, more complete preparations, and the fact that nearly a quarter of Fulward's troops were defeated first, Fulward, who had only just over 3,000 troops left, could not completely crush Mang Zhong, who was desperate to avenge his shame.
pressure.
"Spear Throw, Shi Mang, lead the spear array to prepare for the second round of assault, and fight against Fulward. We have reinforcements, he is just a lone soldier!" Mang Zhong was nailed to the ground with a gun, and was dragged by a group of followers.
After coming back, he yelled at his lieutenant.
Simple and crude tactics, spear throwing to suppress, infantry gun formation charging, there are no other fancy things in Mangzhong, but these two are enough. Fulward does not have many arrows to use, and cannot suppress the gun formation, only
It can be suppressed from the front with the strength of elite infantry.
After all, there is no way to suppress it. If we really relax the frontal suppression and let the spear array pass through the Fulward front, it is true that the spearmen in the rear formation may be easily killed by Fulward's infantry, but the Qiang people who swarm up can really
Cut off the main part of the foward.
With the current strength of Fulward's troops, if the battle line is really cut, even if they can be reunited, hundreds of people will probably die. And Fulward, whose strength has been suppressed to just over 3,000, can withstand another battle.
Hundreds of people died?
Well, even if he can withstand it, if Mangzhong continues to do this, he will die two or three times, and Fulward will lose even himself.
Therefore, we could only resist and suppress them from the front. But facing Mangzhong's repeated charges and the Qiang people's completely fearless assault, Fuwode really couldn't open up the situation.
"General, take your people to the west and enter the mountains of northern Tibet. Retreat." He led the elite troops to repel Shi Mang's gun attack. When he returned, he saw Fulward gasping for breath. Sidney grabbed Fulward.
Wrist, suggested again, and this time, Fulward did not break away.
After Sidney realized this, he had clearly realized that the balance of the war with Fulward was almost over, but think about it, from the time he hit Fulward at noon to the time when Fulward opened his mind, it had already been half an hour.
, it’s been another hour now.
The Fuwod and Qiang people who are close to the mountainous areas of northern Tibet are now completely covered by the shadows of the mountainous areas. The high mountains on the west side have completely blocked the sunlight for a long time.
At least for such a powerful mental image, it is already very long, so long that the Qiang people may have lost more than 5,000 people. However, under such exaggerated battle losses, the Qiang people still did not retreat, but Fulward had already
It's almost reaching its limit.
"General, withdraw." Sidney grabbed Fulward's wrist, who was still trying to move forward, and said in an extremely formal manner.
Now in this situation, Fulward's mental image is about to stop. He suddenly lost his blessing, and because he has been fighting for so long, he is already tired and hungry. He has not been able to eat lunch, let alone suppress the Qiang people.
It would be better if we were not suppressed by the Qiang people on the spot.
"I..." Fulward looked at Sidney silently.
The scale of four thousand people and the scale of three thousand people are completely different. In the former, Fuwode's desperate heart attack could crush more than 20,000 Qiang people who really wanted to stop Fuwode with death, but nearly a thousand were injured in the first attack.
The combatable soldiers were weakened to three thousand, and even the elite ones were suppressed in scale.
Coupled with the long-term battle, the decline in physical strength caused by the lack of rotation of reserve troops, and the hunger caused by not being able to eat lunch, even with the blessing of mental images, Fulward's headquarters was going downhill.
From the beginning, Sidney told Fulward that no matter what opponent we faced, no matter how many strong men we encountered, we must work hard and win quickly.
Fulward himself is actually very clear about this, but sometimes knowing and doing it are two different things. If you understand this sentence clearly, then when facing Mang Zhong, when you realize that you can't defeat Mang Zhong in one go, Fu Ward will
Ward should break out and retreat.
Because the battle cannot be decided quickly, Forward, who cannot replenish his troops and has no reserve troops for the battle, is constantly entering death. The longer it is delayed, the more miserable his death will be.
If five thousand Qiang people died, it would be most heartbreaking, but if Five Thousand people died of Fuwode, even he would have to be counted.
And now, when Fulward, who was completely in trouble, was dragged by Sidney, he finally realized this. He had less than 3,000 people left, and many of them were seriously injured.
Injury.
Can such a force still be able to complete subsequent plans?
Now that Mang Zhong has appeared here with the Qiang people, is it possible that there will be blockades by other Qiang people later, and the operation of going to the Tibetan area, going to Xinzhou, and then coming up again was wrong from the beginning.
Countless thoughts came to Fulward's mind, causing him to directly enter the stage of questioning, just as Masinde originally expected.
Masinde told Fulward before that if you can take these people back, no matter how many you go back, every one of them will be the seeds of the future, the backbone of your legion, and the backbone that is absolutely trustworthy, but this
The road is difficult to walk.
To be precise, Masinde actually suggested that if Fuwode was unwilling to surrender, he should fly back by himself. The Himalayas could not stop the elite soldiers, but could not stop Fuwode who could fly. Before the Qiang people attacked and the clouds had not yet closed,
Fly back through no man's land.
But Fulward himself was unwilling, and Masinde didn't really want those soldiers who were loyal to Guishan to join the Han Dynasty, because sooner or later these people would become Zhu Helai's pawns after entering the Han Dynasty.
After all, Masinde is still very clear about the lower limit of Zhu Helai. This person is a pure humanoid animal, so you follow your Yangguan Road and I will follow my single-plank bridge. This is also a good choice for Masinde.
result.
Having said that, Masinde, as a decent person, still persuaded Fulward, "If you leave by yourself and let the soldiers who stay here surrender, it will not have any impact on your own mentality, but if you
If you want to take the soldiers back, this road is also a road of inquiry for you. It is true that you can go back successfully, which is a kind of sublimation for you, but I am not optimistic about it."
At this moment, Fulward finally understood why Masinde said this.
Compared with flying back alone or with a few people, and then asking others to surrender to the Han Dynasty, Fulward, who led the army back, must recognize the reality that his soldiers are in this process.
sacrifice.
If hundreds or thousands of people die, Fulward may not feel anything, but if most of them die, or even only Fulward escapes, then even if Fulward goes back, he will be useless.
.
This level of psychological shock was too severe for Fulward. He agreed to take his men back, and his men shouted to return to Kushan for the general. But on the road, all the men who were willing to follow him risked their lives.
He fulfilled his vow.
Even if Fulward goes back, he will probably stay in the place where his subordinates died for the rest of their lives.
"General, my Majesty, go west directly into the mountains of northern Tibet, and then find a way to reach the Karakoram Mountain Road and return to Kushan." Sidney persuaded again, "I suggested the northeastern road. Now it's up to me.
It’s time to take responsibility.”
Fulward looked at Sidney, and Sidney smiled freely, "I hate Nangui, and I don't want to betray the long-cherished wish of the Da Yuezhi, so the current Kushan seems disgusting to me. General Oswin is very upright and a hero.
, but General Oswin cannot understand the beliefs that generations of me, my father, and my ancestors have held when they were serving in the mountains day after day since they were teenagers. We are not from the same place!"
"Probably the biggest difference between me and Cabbage's group of people is that they can accept other ways to obtain the princess, but I can only accept using force to snatch the princess." Sidney said it as if he was giving his last words.
The words came out.
"I thought about compromising, but I couldn't accept it. When I thought about my efforts of more than ten years and more than twenty years before, they all turned into shit. In one day, the struggles of thousands of us became the ridicule of others.
Talk! I feel sick about Kushan right now!" Sidney looked at Fulward's unusual ease and ease, and he finally said what he wanted to say.
