Chapter 123: Foot Battle (Various Requests at the Beginning of the Month)
The people and horses out of the city are like a long metal dragon, the armor and weapons make a 'clanging' sound in the collision, the Taoist priest almost emptied the arsenal of the government and the private treasury of the nobles, and nearly half of the 50,000 horses and horses out of the city (10,000 guarding the city) are wearing armor, and many are still precious scale armor.

Although it is not as good as the armor-piercing rate of the white scarves outside the city, it is mainly because people have hollowed out the four major battalions in the south of the Yangtze River, the foundation is really thick, and at this moment ten miles away is also a piece of black pressure, with countless large and small flags, and the row is a fish scale array, that is, the layered use of soldiers, the front of the troops is relatively small, the larger the force is to the back, and gradually arranged into five layers, which is a relatively flat and stable formation, the stronger the soldiers under the hand, the longer the time drags on, the greater the potential of this formation.
"Who said that there are no heroes in Jiangnan, these are not all top offspring!"
"Wasn't Grandpa Tai from our Luodu people back then, didn't he also conquer the world!"
"Wu'er, you must be careful......"
There are a lot of people on both sides of the city gate, basically they are sending their sons and daughters, and there is a team of military music on the platform at the city gate, which plays "Qin Wang Breaking the Formation Music", and the beat is played regularly, '...... The four seas are covered by the emperor's wind, and the water is clear for thousands of years...... The Lord is holy to open the Chang calendar, and the ministers are loyal to the Great You; after the king looks at the Yan Ge, it is the Taiping Autumn. ’
There are also two storytellers who are shouting hoarsely: "If the battle is defeated, the city will be broken, if the city is broken, the people in the city will create chaos, every family has parents, wives and children, relatives and friends, defending the city in order to protect the family, and going to war is also to protect the family......
"Dao Chief, how sure is this battle?" On the city wall, Yongningbo, a middle-aged handsome man, asked with a serious face, this old boy is really interesting, knowing that he went out of the city to fight, and after the dissuasion was ineffective, with his own relationship and prestige, he borrowed five hundred personal soldiers from the nobles in the city.
These pro-soldiers are the most people and horses that the nobles surnamed Zhu can raise under the laws of this dynasty, and all of them are skilled martial artists who are skilled in fists, feet, knives and guns, and they can be used as heavy infantry after wearing the second layer of armor.
"Seventy percent," the Taoist priest broke a number, but it was not all blind, as long as the two people and horses came on the waterway, he really felt that he had a better chance of winning.
"The Taoist is really a hero in the world, but my father does not allow me to go into battle again, otherwise I will be able to avenge the white turban thief for insulting me!" The fourth prince was indignant, this kid should have suffered a lot in the white turban camp, and even his hair was shaved, but he didn't expect his temperament to change.
"Hey, what's that?" Yongningbo suddenly noticed that in the middle of the army, there were carts wrapped in thick cloth, which were being pushed out in the sound of 'crunching', and they looked quite heavy.
"The killer weapon that Lord Wang left for the poor Dao, Uncle will know when the time comes," Daoist Li nodded, looked at the time, and at three o'clock, the sun rose in the east, and all the evil retreated, which was a good sign.
The officers and soldiers stopped about four miles outside the city, in the shouts of the officers, they stood in their respective positions, and the line was a long snake formation, this array was very strong, there were three changes, hit the snake's head, the tail moved, the snake's tail moved, the snake body rolled, and the head and tail attacked.
On the opposite side, the Red Turban Ancestor, the Orthodox Christian, and the five or six White Turban Army Qu Shuai had already patted their horses to the front of the formation, while Daoist Li drove the carriage to stop three miles in front of the Long Snake Formation, looking at each other from a distance, quite a bit of the momentum of the opening remarks;
"Big and small eyes, at such a close distance, can you shoot the other party to death, that is more trouble-free," Daoist Li secretly instigated.
Xiaoyan pinched his right hand, and gave a rare wry smile, if his right hand was not injured, he might be sure to shoot, now, don't lose this person.
"Yes, go back, it's all men, what's so good," Daoist Li smacked his lips, waved his hand, the driver flicked the reins a few times, and the carriage returned to the formation at a steady speed, where an altar had already been placed, which was the altar of five buckets and gossip, six inches high, three feet five inches wide, seventeen cypress brands, three incense burners, nine plates of melons and fruits, and nine teas and dates.
There is a peachwood sword on the left and right sides of the table, a handful of dust, next to it is Tianshuzi Lao Dao, as well as his two little disciples, Tianheng and Tianchong, with three clean towels in their hands, holding the Qingcheng Law Seal and the Luodu Official Seal.
The Taoist priest nodded to the Geng commander below, the early battle still has to be handed over to the professionals, he is very self-aware at this point; this Geng veteran also has a solemn face, patted the horse to the front of the formation, and shook the official flag three times, those officers and soldiers of the old Yan battalion, the current captains, and even the chiefs suddenly got the order, the long snake formation slowly pulled away, the head and tail of the giant snake slowly stretched forward, and the front was two hundred cavalry, which was also the only remaining horse team.
The opponent's fish scale array also began to move forward, like a white wave that was constantly pushing away, the waves were turbulent, and the stamina was even stronger.
About 100 zhang, the people and horses on both sides stopped at the same time, and the ground seemed to shake three times, which was already close to the range of their arrows, and then it was not a battle, but a kiss.
"Flying Arrow!"
"Flying Arrow!" "Flying Arrow!"
In the roar of the soldiers, the belly of the snake was opened, and out of it came an archer wearing light armor and carrying a quiver on his back, led by the big and small eyes, but this time it was called to hold the bow in his right hand and the string in his left hand, and the same was true for the other party, and the bowstring explosion of 'collapse' sounded almost at the same time, and countless black dots emerged from the camps of both sides, and then fell like rain.
Almost all the soldiers, as long as he was not stupid, raised their shields at the same time, or crouched behind the sword and shield soldiers, and if the ground was a face, the cheeks on both sides were suddenly covered with black acne dark spots.
Three waves of fire were fired, and less than a hundred were actually hit by arrows, one was a matter of distance, the other was a matter of defense, archers were the most effective in ambushes or against unarmored rebels, and the nemesis of the regular army had always been heavy cavalry.
The situation on the other side was still unclear, but the Taoist priest obviously noticed a commotion in his own army formation, even after a few months of siege warfare, it was still a little tender when fighting positional warfare.
The white turban thief seemed to have noticed this, and nearly 3,000 men and horses were rolled out of the vanguard in front of the fish scale array, each holding a sword and shield, and wearing the chain mail of the standard equipment of the official army, all with white scarves on their heads, and their faces pounced feverishly.
Since the other party has noticed, not to mention the veteran Geng who is in charge of the commander-in-chief, he waved the banner five times in a row, and inserted a group of men and horses from the 'snake head' and 'snake tail' diagonally, each with two thousand, led by Bai Da Fat and Zhu Leopard, as well as some officers and soldiers wearing scale armor.
These scales and armor were treasured by the nobles, and they managed to find more than 400 of them, and selected 500 daring soldiers from 50,000 officers and soldiers to prepare to be the vanguard.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, the sound of shouting and killing, the sound of weapons clashing, the sound of blood shooting, and the screams before death sounded at the same time, playing a music of iron and blood.
The leading Zhu Leopard and Bai Da Fat are the most outstanding, they are wearing the Tiger Floating Tu armor specially left by the Taoist priest (in fact, only they can wear it without affecting the play), one holds a stick, one throws a spear, the starlight all over the body is like a wave gushing out, the two are like heavy tanks, back and forth collision and fighting, everywhere they pass, all people turn their backs.
Long before the war, the Taoist priest used a talisman to awaken the star soul contained in the body of the two, the Kei water leopard and the room fire pig, one is gloomy as water, the other is irritable as fire, and one of them attached a golden light body protection charm, so that they can only attack and defend before the rune is exhausted, and in just half a pillar of incense time, there are no less than dozens of white turban thieves who died in the hands of the two, like heroes abusing small soldiers.
There are these two main forces, but the scene is not one-sided, but the officers and soldiers are still slightly disadvantaged, because the vanguard battalion of the white turban thieves is simply not afraid of death, the same only attack but not defense, the fanaticism in the eyes is simply overflowing, this is not the group of monsters taking potions, but just ordinary white turban soldiers.
The officers and soldiers watching the soldiers almost sank at the same time, when the city was first attacked, most of the white turban soldiers were still like normal people, they would be afraid, they would be afraid, at best they were only stronger than the willpower of ordinary soldiers, but now they are completely different, these people seem to have become killing machines like Tiger Futu, but they are not as strong as them.
Through the double pupil of the heavenly eye, the Taoist priest can clearly see that on the body of the wooden evil Buddha, the rolling black Buddha power gushed out from the surface of the body, turning into a huge cloud, enveloping half of the battlefield, and under the influence of this, each white turban soldier has a black swastika on his forehead, and it seems that he has really become a Buddhist soldier like the eight heavenly dragons.
Of course, this evil Buddha in front of them that they are protecting!
"Do you want to go out with your own gods?"
Wait. ’
4,000 officers and soldiers vs 3,000 white turban thieves, far from the end, the longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it is to the officers and soldiers; moreover, the Taoist priest can feel a burst of glances in the sky, this group of Mao gods and wild gods, 200 percent will intervene, early hole cards, easy to target.
I didn't think that the second wave of troops of the other party was sent earlier than anyone else, although there were only a dozen, but these dozen or so were all three-story white turban giants!
"Holy!!"
The white turban giant Taoist priest has not seen it, but the one in front of him, his body is wrapped in heavy cloth armor, and he is holding a long spear with a pillar thickness or a large bow several zhang long, the bowstring is wrapped with dozens of hemp vines, the arrow is the thickness of a beam, and the head of the spear is like an iron chisel.
With a 'crunch' and 'crunch' sound, the long giant bow was bent and aimed at the entangled men and horses, and then—release the arrow!
It was as if the iron pillar had been inserted into the hot oil, and the severed limbs and stumps flew wildly, and the ground within a radius of several miles was cleared out of a bloody path the size of a water tank, and the huge arrow continued to gain momentum, and with a 'bang' it was inserted into the city wall five or six miles away, and the body of the arrow was not half in.
