Chapter 18 Shield of Thick Earth

Xianbei's cavalry tactics are very simple. One thousand cavalry are divided into ten teams, each with 100 people. In the middle of each echelon, there is enough distance to facilitate tactical adjustments such as acceleration and urgent transmission.

This is the famous band charge.

Since the birth of the cavalry, various tactics have been derived. But what can really give full play to the impact speed of the cavalry is the band charge. This can not only give full play to the impact of the cavalry, but also reduce the greater casualties caused by bows and arrows because they are too dense, and also avoid the losses caused by trampling on each other. The distance between each wave of assault teams should not be too long, otherwise the time exchanged for huge casualties in the previous wave cannot be converted into space, which is meaningless. Of course, each wave of cavalry also needs to equip the number of each wave of cavalry according to the lethality of the defender. If it is too small, there is no threat.

Generally speaking, the time for the archer to shoot three rounds is exactly the time when the cavalry begins to enter the range and sprint to the time of contact. Therefore, the cavalry is often a three-band. The first wave suffers the greatest casualties, tearing open the gap in the defense line, and buying time for the latter. The second wave expands the results, disperses the formation, and disintegrates the defense ability. The third wave is the pursuit.

So the band charge is also called three-band.

Because there is no cover and suppression of archers, the battlefield enters the fierceness of the white-edged battle almost immediately.

The first band of the riding front is close at hand. The extremely skilled horse jumps over the line of defense composed of vehicles, and it is almost easy to blow the ashes. What happened next has made any man's blood boil and blood boil.

The sword soldier actually wants to shake the cavalry charge with the help of the power of shields and blood. Although it can't be said that it is unprecedented, it requires great perseverance, courage and fearless spirit.

Ji Ling drew his knife and roared at the sky almost at the front line of life and death: "The shield of thick earth."

All the swordsmen' eyes suddenly burst into bright red light, and their shoulders almost subconsciously sank, holding the back of the shield tightly. Their feet pierced hard, and their whole body began to accumulate crazily. A thick earthy aura filled the whole formation almost instantly. Not only did the soldiers not notice, but also a faint yellow light that Ji Ling could not see was all over all the sword soldiers, like an air mass, surrounding them.

"Thick Earth Shield" sword soldier's unique talent skill. When used, use the shield to build a line of defense. At the same time, the strength is increased by 100%, the defense is increased by 100%, and the skill is consumed by 30 points for half an hour. Limited to once every 24 hours.

And He Chen almost couldn't take his eyes off the cavalry rushing up. It was a matter of success or failure.

With the help of the powerful impact of the horse, the cavalry hit the shield around the divine sword guard in the blink of an eye. Some uncontrollably hit the shield surface fiercely, making a "clam" dull sound; some took the horse into the air and wanted to find a place to stay in the shield forest; some simply drew the knife. , cut off the shield fiercely.

Almost at the same time, all the infantry behind the impacted shield, in the bursts of pain and screams, fell all over the ground and rolled the gourds. Only those shields, like the Gaolin Building and the towering mountains, are still firmly inserted in the ground, like an extremely strong fortress, which can't be broken. Although the action of Xianbei's horse soaring in the air was elegant and majestic and handsome, the scene at this time was extremely tragic. Some of them were cut by the sharp blades of the shield, and the sound of grief resounded through the grassland sky. The hot horse blood spewed out like rain, and the flowers and intestines flowed all over the ground. Although some horses avoided the shield, they carried the load. The soldier threw it out and fell to the ground fiercely, making a dull sound. The "Shen Gun Forbidden Guard Regiment", which had been waiting for a long time, rushed up and hugged the cavalry on the ground. Hundreds of cavalry who had not yet recovered, but in a blink of an eye, they were stabbed all over their bodies, flowing down countless holes, and only blood flowed out of the berth.

The first charge of the cavalry came to an end.

Although the stage is surnamed Shengli, in He Chen's heartbreak and desperate eyes, he was surprised to find that most of the magic sword soldiers who had just been knocked off rolled on the ground and got up again. Then he spit out his mouth full of sand, wiped the blood on his face, grinned, and quickly and firmly He stood in his position just now and was in high spirits. Looking at the situation, he was hardly injured. At most, he could only be regarded as a fall.

At this moment, He Chen burst into tears.

The myth of the invincible cavalry charge was finally broken.

According to the first wave of Xianbei's charge, the sword soldier can not only withstand the charge of the cavalry, but also cooperate with the Lancers to launch a counterattack. Your sister, I have so much glittering gold without white flowers. The cavalry charge is invincible? Shit, as long as the old man can create a folding shield in the future, he can directly drive the cavalry all over the mountain without the help of auxiliary vehicles. What kind of Xianbei cavalry, what kind of Xiongnu cavalry, is it like a tiger biting a hedgehog to me, and there is nowhere to eat.

But He Chen quickly woke up from Yiyin. The problem was that I didn't have money. I built a thousand folding shields, which almost ruined my family. No, I will try my best to make money in the future, otherwise the arms will be upgraded and the Divine Sword Corps will be expanded. I can't do without armored weapons, right?

The first band of the cavalry was almost completely destroyed, while the sword soldiers only injured more than 20 people and several people were killed in the battle. This achievement is amazing. But He Chen deeply knew that the real threat of the cavalry band charge was in the following stages. To put it bluntly, the first wave came from cannon fodder.

The commander of Xianbei can hardly believe his eyes. Since he was born, he has never heard of any soldier who can be strong enough to shake the cavalry with the help of a big shield, which almost subverts his ideas. I fought with the Han army several times. At that time, the other side's shield soldiers were not afraid of the momentum of the cavalry, gave way, and then were scattered by the knights, and finally harvested their lives like straw? But what the fuck is going on with this team of infantry? Are they all tied with a big stone?

Chief Xianbei Qianfu is also a very experienced guy. After learning the lesson of the failure of the first charge, he hardly gave the magic knife soldiers any breathing opportunity. One after another, three waves of teams charged collectively, intending to cut through the shield line of defense in one breath.

"Dala, Dala" and the momentum of the 900 cavalry group charging, like a mountain and sea, the momentum is amazing.

The magic sword soldier stepped down the horse for another moment and held the folding shield with his shoulder, like a high cliff and mountain wall. If you are shocked by the waves, I will not move. "Fang, bang" one charge after another made a dull impact sound. This time, all the magic sword soldiers were knocked away, but the shield still stood high there, like a mountain and sea, steady.

Obviously, Xianbeiqi has been prepared. Not only has the interval between the charging waves has been reduced, but it has also increased a lot. It is almost a tight link and eye-catching. The shocked sword soldiers hardly had time to return to their defensive position, and the cavalry behind them gathered like a tide.

The shield was broken.

But although the cavalry broke the shield, the speed of the charge also slowed down.

A few soldiers and cavalry almost rushed into the hinterland with their skilled equestrian skills, but because the speed was forced to slow down, the machete could not withstand countless long guns in the inner circle, and fell down and died one by one.

"Draw the knife, kill." At this time, Ji Ling rushed out of the rear command line with a three-pointed and two-edged knife. With a fierce knife, he cut down a cavalry member on the horse's back to the ground. All the magic sword soldiers almost did not hesitate to pull out the ring knife, and in the chaos of the soldiers and horses, they still brought a neat and crisp sound out of the sheath.

The knife is full of scales, and the murderous air is soaring.

This ring knife, of course, is not a weapon equipped by the conventional forces in the Western Han Dynasty, but an enhanced version. The handle remains unchanged, the body of the knife is longer, and the weight is heavier. There is a blood tank on one side, and the back is thickened, which is more conducive to chopping. He Chen really wants to promote this improved version of the ring knife to the whole army, but it's still the same sentence, money!

The divine sword soldier's defense is not only excellent, but also has no less offensive ability than most of the same-level arms. Its toughness is by no means inferior to that of Xianbei warriors.

"Shenzhen gun guards, line up to charge." Seeing that the two sides began to fight each other, he did not hesitate to let Zhang Xiu lead the "Shen Gun Guard" to join the battlefield.

"Kill." Zhang Xiu, who had been watching for a long time, almost drank with all his strength. Zhang Xiu is a Wuwei person. It is said that he is a mixed race. In recent years, he has been disturbed by Xianbei. Now that the new hatred and the old are counted together, Zhang Xiu is of course energetic.

"Shen Gun Guard" almost instantly set up a shot, and all the special long guns stood straight in front of them. The soldiers ran forward with heavy steps, with a compact formation and tension, and their movements were consistent and neat. A huge murderous atmosphere quickly enveloped the whole audience in the extreme momentum.

If the sword soldier is a mountain and magnificent, then the swordsman is a firearm, which is invincible.

"Retir." Seeing that the sharpshooters had lined up to charge up, Ji Ling did not hesitate to give the order to retreat and give up the whole space to Zhang Xiu.

"Thorn." A simple word is like a thunderbolt on the ground, and rows of dazzling gun light under the sun's rays are almost neat and straight out.

The front row, whether it was a man or a horse, almost fell to the ground at the same time before it flashed. Even the Xianbei cavalry, who had waved a knife to block it, not only did not swing the long gun that stabbed straight, but was numb by the shaking tiger's mouth, and the blood stopped. Then it was stabbed and killed. At this time, the Xianbei cavalry was completely sad. The horse could not rush up. The weapon was not as long as the other party, and it could not be blocked. If they wanted to retreat, they were all their own people. How to fight this battle?

"Kill" Under the command of Zhang Xiu, the magic gun guard advanced and retreated to a certain degree, and almost did not let the long gun stop. One wave fell, and the other wave followed. The cavalry who almost killed turned over and the blood flowed into a river. The powerful attack power of the magic gun guard is vivid at this moment.
