Chapter 372 Shield Array
After getting the iron-tied bow, Sinuoluo pulled the bowstring and felt relieved. Although the Tang army commander was wrapped in his armor, his body was majestic and only covered half of his body, and he didn't even wear a helmet.
Li Siye was dealing with the Tubo officers who came to kill for fear of death. The personal soldiers beside him were also entangled by those fearless Tubo soldiers. Under the light of the sky, no one noticed the vicious arrow aimed at Li Siye not far away in the Tubo formation.
The sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded, and the arrow flew out, but the bowstring was stained with water vapor, not as strong as it was before. Li Siye was wielding his own knife to chop off a Tubo army leader to the ground. The iron arrow shot towards him was shot by the iron balls shot from mid-air, and then he heard the roar coming from behind.
"A dog thief who hurts people with hidden arrows, let's see what Yeah's methods are?"
Nan Jiyun pulled open the skin pocket on the slingshot in his hand, and shot the iron balls secretly with his left hand again. He had learned how to fire the projectiles in his hand since he was a child. He fired two iron balls in a flash. The Tubo general who was shooting arrows on the opposite side did not expect that he would tell.
Sinuoluo almost subconsciously turned his head and avoided the iron ball that was running towards his eyes, but it was still hit on the bridge of his nose, and his entire face was concave. Not only did the blood flow, but the pain made him cry.
At this time, the personal soldiers around him reacted and panickedly placed shields to protect his general. This sudden change naturally made Li Siye and his Mo Daozhe see it clearly.
"Yes, the dog guy who dares to plot against you, I can't kill you..."
Li Siye cursed in a crazy laugh. The Tubo dog thief's bows and arrows are the most vicious and likes to dip horse manure on the arrows. If he gets an arrow, whether he can live depends on whether God can open his eyes.
"The thief is dead, the thief is dead!"
The smart Mo Dao Hand shouted at this time. There were many officers in the Tubo army who knew Chinese. After hearing this, he couldn't help but look back. He saw that there was no figure in the flag where the general Sinuoluo was located, only a tight shield. He was shocked. The Tang army attacking the city wall was extremely fierce. If it were not for this general who was born as a nobleman to supervise the battle, the morale of the army would have long been collapsed.
The Tubo soldiers who were originally brave and fearless and rushed forward almost retreated at a speed visible to the naked eye, which exhausted the battle? The sweaty Mo Daomen can breathe? Otherwise, if these Tubo soldiers continue to fight, they will not be able to retreat with their comrades behind, and the casualties will increase greatly.
For a moment, the battle situation on the city wall became strange, and the Tubo soldiers were still howling, but they stopped moving forward? And Li Siye also knew that this was not the time to show off. Although he was incredible physical strength, his subordinate Mo Daojun's son was not.
So the offensive and defensive sides confronted each other less than twenty steps away, "Nan Ba, why are you coming up?" While the soldiers behind Nan Jiyun exchanged teams with their subordinates? Li Siye also retreated and said, "Do you have any wine?"
"The Lord said that the son of the Mo Daojun could not fight against the Tubo traitors with the naked man? So he asked me to bring people up..."
While Nan Jiyun was speaking, he skillfully handed the wine pot to Li Siye. The team of foreign soldiers and Han'er climbed up behind him also took over the positions of the Modaomen.
Li Siye drank wine and realized that after the rain had stopped, Shen Guang could see the battle situation on the city wall at the foot of the mountain. Then he asked Nan Jiyun to lead the foreign troops and Han'er who were good at street fighting and infantry fighting to the city with shields.
Now the men who were in front were not wearing armor? They were holding shield spears, and behind them were the foreign troops from the Francis Kingdom. Everyone was wearing only breastplate helmets, holding the two-foot sword and hand shield of the country, followed closely behind the men.
"General Li, let's go and renovate his armor. The Lord said that he would have to rely on the Modao Army to break the bandit army in one go."
"That's natural, Nanba, and wait for someone to go and go back."
Li Siye was not pretentious either. After drinking the remaining wine in the wine pot in one breath, he retreated to the city wall behind. He could already see that his subordinates who had climbed up the city wall had already broken into hundreds and were pulling their armor from under the city wall.
"Everyone is wearing armor!"
As he shouted, Li Siye pulled away the half-collar armor and put his bright light armor on his head. Then his personal soldiers put the rest of the cloak for him. Only then did Li Siye have time to let his Mo Daoshi form a complete formation of left and right teams, and then he could alternately cover and kill forward.
...
"Help me up!"
"Removed the shield to me."
Amid the roar of Sinuoluo, the Tubo soldiers who could not move forward on the city wall were all trembling in their hearts. When they turned around, they saw that the cruel general's face was covered with blood-seeking white cloth, covering most of his face, and only his fierce and vicious eyes were revealed.
"Let me go forward and kill all the Tang dogs. If you dare to retreat, you will not forgive me."
As Sinuoluo was almost hysterical, the supervision team composed of his personal soldiers began to kill the officers who stopped first and their soldiers. In almost an instant, the Tubo army, which had been stagnant, rushed forward again like a frightened herd of horses.
"Everything is stable!"
Chen Tieniu shouted, the men he led were the first to follow Chen Guang. They trained for a whole year under the training of veterans. Later, they also suppressed horse thieves and fought robbers in the Gobi Desert. They were no longer inexperienced new army.
The men held their shields steadily, allowing the Tubo soldiers on the opposite side to attack with the large crowds of people. The shields were left with no gaps. They remembered the teachings of the veterans. In this kind of street battle where a narrow road was met, neat formation was the most important. You must trust the comrades around you to form a joint force to withstand the opponent's attack and then find a gap to kill the thief army.
Amid the bang and bang, the shield formation formed by the Han'er seemed to be undulating, but it quickly stabilized. When the first wave of Tubo soldiers could not disperse the Han'er's shield formation, even if more people rushed up from behind, they could not form an impact force. On the contrary, because the space became narrower, the soldiers in the front row could only use a knife to cut off the tight shields in vain.
"Open!" "Thorn!"
Amid Chen Tieniu's loud shout, the men completed a quick and accurate tactical cooperation. The shield hands in the front row opened the gap that could barely allow the spear to pierce out, and the spear hands behind them were neatly pierced out to recycle.
Blood flowed from the ground, and seven or eight Tubo soldiers were pierced through their bodies and feet and fell to the ground. This made the crowded Tubo defenders panic and angry. At this time, the brave officer led the warriors to leaps high on the bodies of others, and climbed over the shields raised by the Tang army in front. However, when they jumped into the Tang army formation, they saw strange-looking British soldiers coming forward silently.
Olus stepped forward skillfully and swept a Tubo soldier who had just landed on the ground. As a former centurion of the Roman Empire, he had extremely rich experience in using the Roman dagger. He didn't even carry a hand shield, but killed three Tubo soldiers in a row.
