Chapter 214: Black Clouds Crush the City (Ask for Subscription!) )
Black clouds are crushing the city, and the city is about to be destroyed!
When the wolf smoke of the beacon tower surged, a group of heavily armored iron horsemen continued to approach the royal city. Mo Xiaobai stood at the head of the city and quickly understood what it meant to be 'full of bounds'.
"The Kushan Iron Rider is really armed to the teeth."
In his past and present lives, Mo Xiaobai faced the unique Guishan cavalry for the first time, and the thousands of horsemen closest to the city wall were all heavy horses, and the armor on his body was similar to the Han army's cavalry, but it was more well protected.
Cuirass, arm armor, trouser armor, leg armor, and even a shawl scarf around the back.
Mo Xiaobai quietly looked at the Guishan army that was gradually lined up under the city, but the fat man beside him frowned: "I'm going to go, these Central Asians are too willful, this kind of armor configuration, we Han people are reluctant to match it." ”
In Jilusai, the fat man has seen a lot of Han cavalry. There are also hoplites, but at most they will give you a set of cuirass, pants, and a great way to protect your upper limbs to your thighs.
At that time, I still felt very majestic, and a Han heavy cavalry was dressed like a general, but now looking at Guishuang's cavalry, the fat man instantly felt that the Han heavy cavalry was not worthy of the name.
Compared with the heavy riding of the big man, this is really a 'heavy' ride!
All-metal protection, except for the lack of an eye patch on the face, and the lack of metal armor on the ten fingers, almost all the rest of the body parts are under the protection of iron armor.
Dumb was also beside him at the moment, looked at the cavalry below, and asked in a low voice a very demoralizing word: "This kind of protection, bows and arrows are useless, can the Han crossbow break the defense?" ”
It is also a shame that he is flanked by Li Ji and Mo Xiaobai on the left and right, if this word reaches the ears of the soldiers, he doesn't have to think about it to know what the consequences will be.
And Li Ji and Mo Xiaobai will not be affected by this guy's words.
Different from the worried expressions of Perch and Dumb, Mo Xiaobai looked at the cavalry below, but a trace of envy and possessiveness flashed in his eyes: "Mao Gong, those war horses below are Dawan horses, one of the top war horses in the world, in the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not hesitate to send troops to expedition Dawan for them, the characteristics and advantages of these war horses, I think you should be able to see it." ”
"The lord is moved?"
As a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, how could Li Ji not know the reputation of Dawan Horse, and even the reason why the Kushan Empire was able to organize such a group of heavy horsemen at the moment, but the Han could not do it, he knew very well.
Sweat and blood!
The world's best war horse, load, endurance, speed, almost impeccable. And the top sweat and blood is even better than the white lin horse brought by the sea bass.
"The rise of the Kushan Empire is not accidental, especially after controlling the Dawan and the northern realm of the body poison, the level of war horses and smelting has almost made a qualitative leap, and these two items alone can even overpower the big Han at this moment, I must admit this, and I will not feel ashamed."
Mo Xiaobai didn't answer Li Ji's question directly, and as he spoke, his voice continued to improve: "They have high-quality battle armor and strong war horses, but so what? Do they think that if they put people in a tin case, they will be invincible? Can I get my dignified Han army out of the city and beg to surrender? ”
"Soldiers, what do we rely on to fight?"
"It's the courage of a hundred battles!"
"It's a trend of ten thousand years!"
"It's the self-confidence that stands proudly in the world!"
"And the determination to never say die!"
At the head of the wide city, Mo Xiaobai roared and drew the baron's saber at his waist:
"They want to fight, and we will wait for the Han to be strong, and we will be accompanied to the end!"
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
The vast desert of the Western Regions spread all over the simple words shouted by the Han army for a while.
The wind, for which it is stagnant.
Smoke, for which it rises and falls.
For the Han army, it is to promote its own strength.
Just one word!
War!
………
"Packa, those Han people, what are they talking about?"
Only 700 meters away from the royal city, the three Guishan national warriors looked at the city in the distance under the protection of heavy cavalry.
The scene where the Han people would be frightened by their iron cavalry did not appear, but instead heard a wolf-like roar and the constant roar of heavy drums.
The drums are dull, and each sound seems to hit the bottom of my heart, which makes people faintly uneasy.
"They, hey~ they're talking about fighting."
"Fighting? Is it just these Han people hiding on the city wall? ”
The Guishan warrior led by the Guishan warrior forced himself to suppress the oppression brought by the heavy drum, and sneered: "Give them a round of riding and shooting, and they may run down with a lot of blood." ”
"Paka, take your archers, I want to see the Han people out of the city and kneel in front of me in a stick of incense!"
"Okay, General!"
The Kushan warrior named Paka gave an ancient and central military salute, took two steps forward on his horse, and immediately gave his own military order with his characteristic gestures.
As the military orders continued to be transmitted, soon the right flank of the entire cavalry unit followed.
At this time, the heavy cavalry also came out, but unlike the iron shells at the front, these cavalry were generally dressed like the Han cavalry, but there were still some differences.
The Han cavalry mostly used hand-to-hand weapons, but this group of Kushan cavalry each had a longbow.
"Mao Gong, they're going to start the siege."
Looking at the movement of the Guishan cavalry in the distance, Mo Xiaobai spoke in a somewhat hoarse voice: "The command is entrusted to you, including me, and it is all under your command." ”
"Whoa!"
Li Ji clenched his fists and agreed, and then said in a deep voice: "The shield is ready, the rest of the people are hidden on the spot, without my order, the crossbowmen cannot fight back!" ”
When a full 3,000 Kushan archers galloped from the east side of the city wall, all the Han troops could clearly see the bright tips of the arrows.
"Whoosh~~"
As a traditional Central Asian archer, this group of cavalry has long been familiar with how to mount and attack cities. How high the arms should be raised, where to start drawing the bow, what the angle of the bow and arrows should be, all these things are already imprinted in the mind.
The overwhelming flying arrows, mixed with the sound of breaking strings, roared.
Li Ji's general order also spread throughout the entire city wall at this moment:
"Stand on the shield!"
Hundreds of large shields stood at the head of the city with a 'poof' at this moment, protecting almost everyone tightly.
"Ding Ding Ding Ding~"
The sound of metal crashing is incessant, and each impact is full of force. Mo Xiaobai and Perch also had a big shield on their heads, and more than a dozen bows and arrows collided together, and the hands holding the shield couldn't help but tremble.
"Hiss~What a lot of strength~"
"Didn't this group of people just climb out of the snowy mountain? There is still so much strength. ”
The corners of the fat man's mouth twitched slightly, but the tension on his face slowly disappeared, and he grinned: "But the Western Regions Shield is quite strong, but the cost is a little higher." ”
"When you go to war, it's all about money."
Mo Xiaobai held the shield in both hands, but his eyes kept looking out through the gap between the shields: "Do you think Ban Chao has been eating dry rice in the Western Regions all these years?" These are all the family funds he has accumulated, how can they be so easily broken by the Guishan people. ”
"But fat man, you really have to lose weight, otherwise the shield won't be able to protect your fat buttocks."
