"I really don't understand, to what extent is this Guishuang?"

"Infantry is also fully armoured? Where did they get so much money? ”

As the archers slowly retreated, the Kushan infantry began to appear from behind, and the fat man's eyes were straight.

To use the most popular words in China to describe the fat man's inner monologue at the moment, that is:

I have an MMP, I don't know if I should say it or not!

The cavalry has an iron shell for full body protection, and the fat man endures it after a few glances. After all, everyone knows that cavalry is noble, even if the Central Asian nations want to train qualified cavalry, it is not so easy.

But what about the infantry?

From the day when mankind had wars, the status of the infantry was not equal to cannon fodder, but it was no better, just a group of characters who did dirty work and then charged to death.

First on, trapped, broadsword.

Just by hearing these names, you know that the glory of the infantry is piled up with death.

Heavy infantry-like units are not non-existent. But in the infantry family, heavy infantry is definitely a scarce thing, and even in the Great Han, there are fewer heavy infantry than cavalry.

The elite infantry of the Han Dynasty, aside from the crossbowmen, it is good to be able to wear cloth armor, and it is definitely a high match in the army to be able to give a set of leather armor.

If you send another shield, well, that is the most elite infantry of the Han Dynasty, because the average foot soldier only needs to kill the enemy, and if he dies, he can recruit another batch, and he doesn't need to issue a shield.

But look at the group of Kushan infantry outside, the fat perch almost wants to hit the wall.

What about the first combat power of the Han Empire?

What is said to be a good man who is a powerful country in the world?

When your soldiers can't even wear leather armor, and the other infantry is like cavalry, fully armed from head to toe, the bass really doesn't know how to fight this battle.

But he couldn't make too many deflating remarks, so he could only stare at Guishuang's pawn with his breath, and his eyes were full of a red light called 'envy, jealousy, hatred'.

"How much money does Guishuang have, hehe~ This question is actually very easy to answer."

Looking at the Guishan heavy infantry slowly coming, Mo Xiaobai smiled and pointed his right hand to his feet: "The position we are standing in now, it is called the 'Silk Road', which is a trade route paved with gold. Do you know who controlled the entire Silk Road when the Western Han Dynasty withdrew from the Western Regions and even gave up the city of Yiwu to the Xiongnu? ”

"Those old accounts are not mentioned for the time being, just to say that now with the Green Ridge as the boundary, Bangu barely controls the Western Regions in the east with god-like operations, but who is in the hands of the west? If I were the King of Kushan, even if I set up ten toll booths along the way, I would be rich. ”

"Guishan is really rich now, rich enough to launch a large-scale attack in Dawan alone. This time it was only their vice-king who led the troops to attack, and the vice-king of Guishan, Xie, was actually just a prince-king, and the real main force of Guishan was still in the south, because there were really too many high-quality resources in that part of India. ”

"Just because of his money, Guishan can start such a willful two-front war!"

Putting the sword back into its sheath, Mo Xiaobai held the spear on the ground in his palm: "It is precisely because the Guishan people are too willful that the nameless king of Guishan dares to ask to marry the Han princess, heh, this is his request, not a request, it's very interesting, right?" ”

"Now, it's up to us to kill Guishan's arrogance and willfulness, and let them know that money can't decide everything!"

"War, after all, you have to fight to know the result!"

As Mo Xiaobai's voice fell, the Guishan heavy infantry gradually came to the outside of the city for a hundred steps, and Li Ji ordered the archers to attack again with a wave of his right hand.

Hundreds of bows and arrows rained down, but the footsteps of the Kushan heavy infantry did not stop at all, holding a shield in one hand to block the side of their heads, and continued to rush forward.

In terms of being well-equipped, Kushan is indeed the king of this era.

"Rolling stones, smash!"

A round of bow and arrow testing was ineffective, and it did not affect Li Ji's command, when the archers slowly retreated and began to scatter and throw, the Han soldiers on the side of the city wall immediately picked up the boulder and smashed it down.

Siege warfare has always been so cruel.

And the huge rolling stones fell from the city, whether you were wearing leather armor or iron armor, there was no second way to resist except to dodge.

And once you've been hit by a rolling stone, congratulations.

You can retreat from the battlefield, as long as you're alive, of course.

In the desert of the Western Regions, it has always been difficult to collect large stones, so in the past battles in the Western Regions, there were few siege battles, and most of them were wild battles.

But the arrival of Ban Chao has brought different changes to Shule and Shache, which are close to the green mountains.

In terms of building temples and Buddhist temples, the Han people at this moment are probably inferior to the Kushan Empire, which spreads Buddhism, but when it comes to building cities and defending cities, the Han Dynasty can really throw away the rest of the country a distance from the solar system.

And this point is shared by the Han and Tang dynasties.

Ban Chao is good at guarding, and Li Ji is also good at guarding.

It's just that since Li Ji returned to the Tang Dynasty, his ability in this area has been hidden, and it is only because the Tang Dynasty does not need to defend the generals very much, which has caused a number of Tang generals, including Li Jing and Li Ji, to look like all offensive maniacs.

Rolling stones and logs continued to fall, and the heavy infantry of Kushan rushed to the bottom of the city wall against the attack, leaning the long ladder against the top of the city.

The long ladder has a base and a hook, and it is not easy to push it down, dozens of long ladders are erected, and the next moment there are Kushan heavy infantry climbing up.

It was also at this time that Li Ji suddenly ordered the attack on the city head to be suspended and put the Guishan infantry up.

Just as a heavy infantry was about to approach the upper edge of the city wall, Li Ji waved his right hand: "Crossbowman, up!" ”

Han's strong crossbow!

It is often improved from generation to generation, without strong firing power, and even the crossbow arrows are sharper than the Qin crossbow.

This kind of strong crossbow may not be very convenient to load and unload, but it has an obvious advantage, that is:

Armor Piercing!

Ban Chao has very few Han troops, but he has equipped his subordinates with armor-piercing crossbows!

"Whoosh~"

With short-range precision shooting, the Han crossbowmen could even accurately aim at the forehead, neck, and heart of the Kushan heavy infantry.

The Kushan infantry, who had just poked out half of their bodies on the city wall, soon received a death blow.

"Kill!"

Mo Xiaobai, who was armed with a spear, did not use crossbow arrows. It's not that the Han army defending the city is reluctant to give it to him, but this kind of thing, Mo Xiaobai can't use it at all.

Large-scale deployment of soldiers can kill multiple enemy soldiers at one time, but after shooting, the arrows must be reloaded, this process is still complicated, it can be said that the reloading is too cumbersome, which is the biggest shortcoming that restricts the development of strong crossbows.

Mo Xiaobai prefers to use melee weapons to solve problems, and with a single pick and sweep of the spear, he quickly swept a Guishan heavy infantry down the long ladder.

"Eat the fat man's sword!"

On Mo Xiaobai's side, the perch also followed, still holding the Greek one-handed sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword stabbed forward fiercely, which could also break through the armor of the Guishan heavy infantry.

If Mo Xiaobai relied on force to kill the enemy, the perch was completely crushed by science and technology.

With the only steel sword on the battlefield in his hand, no Kushan soldier could stop his slash.

"Ha~ The divine soldier is in hand, fat man, I kill the enemy like chopping melons and vegetables!"

The more the perch hit, the more excited he became, and his face flushed and shouted at Mo Xiaobai:

"Dude, it's my turn to fly you today!"
