Chapter 753: The King of Infantry
Chapter 753: King of Infantry
These five thousand cavalry are the winning trump card of the coalition, so Wu Han will certainly not send them all. In his opinion, cavalry is naturally capable of restraining infantry, so sending two thousand is enough.
Among the two thousand cavalry sent by Wu Han, one thousand were Xiliang cavalry and one thousand were Jingzhou cavalry.
Two thousand cavalry rushed towards the Qin army like an overwhelming force. Their momentum was so huge that even the earth shook.
Seeing this, a trace of fear flashed in Gao Shun's eyes. Although the trapped camp consisted of heavy infantry, it was not necessarily worse than the cavalry in fighting, but the heavy infantry was still infantry after all, and it was unwise to fight the cavalry head-on.
"Fortunately, we already have a new type of shield, otherwise there would have been a lot of casualties this time."
Gao Shun thought to himself, and then shouted: "Stop marching, prepare to connect your shields."
Following Gao Shun's order, the soldiers in the trapped camp immediately stopped erecting their shields. It was rare in the world to prohibit such an order.
Gao Shun looked indifferently at the scattered cavalry on the opposite side, pointed his sword at the enemy, and shouted coldly: "One or two battalions, spread out and form a wolf shield formation."
"The ambition to be trapped in the enemy's battlefield will lead to death but not life..."
The two thousand trapped camp soldiers at the front quickly dispersed while shouting. Less than two hundred people formed a large group, and then activated the small mechanism on the shield, and connected the shields on the left and right to form a giant shield.
The shields equipped by the Qin army are all uniform standard shields. Only the shields of the trapped camp are special strong steel shields. This kind of shield has a small strong mechanism specially placed on the edge, but it is connected in series to form an extremely strong whole.
.
Ten huge shields were quickly assembled on the battlefield.
After seeing this scene, not only the Jingzhou coalition forces, but also the Qin army in the rear were shocked. Isn't this too high-tech?
"Damn it? Why is it that every time there is a good thing, he is in Gao Shun's camp? My lord is too partial. If it doesn't work, I want it too."
Li Cunxiao said with a look of jealousy. Although he didn't know the specific function of this assembled shield, it was obviously a good thing at first glance.
Bai Qi glanced at Li Cunxiao and said calmly: "That's an infantry shield. Even if it's given to Feihuying, can you use it?"
Li Cunxiao opened his mouth, but was speechless. Who made his Flying Tiger Army a cavalry? They couldn't use the good equipment in front of them. The feeling was as uncomfortable as being scratched by a cat.
Zhou Yu's eyes were full of surprise, and he immediately asked Qi Qi: "General, you have long known the power of the new shield formation of the trapped camp, so you deliberately let the trapped camp in front to attract firepower, so that the 10,000 troops behind can attack
Minimal casualties and close combat between the enemy and the Chinese army?"
Bai Qi did not answer directly. Instead, he answered the question incorrectly: "As a general, if you want to successfully defeat the enemy, you must first fully understand yourself, so that you can use every bit of power in your hands properly."
A thoughtful look flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes, and he looked thoughtful. After a while, he took a deep breath, cupped his fists and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, General, Zhou Yu has learned a lesson."
Bai Qi nodded and said nothing. He was optimistic about Zhou Yu's future, so he took the initiative to remind him. If a dull-headed person like Li Cunxiao asked him, Bai Qi would definitely not bother to answer, because even if he said it, Li Cunxiao wouldn't understand.
.
In the coalition camp, Wu Han saw that Gao Shun's troops had assembled thousands of small shields into ten giant shield walls and erected them in place within a short time. He felt a bad feeling in his heart.
"The shield wall composed of two hundred shields should be able to be broken open by the impact of the cavalry, right?"
A trace of surprise flashed in Wu Han's eyes. Obviously he was not sure, but the cavalry had already rushed out. They couldn't just come back without encountering the enemy, right?
"Even if it causes considerable losses, the Qin army's turtle shell must be broken."
With this thought, Wu Han no longer hesitated and shouted decisively: "Charge."
Seeing this, Gao Shun shouted: "Prepare the javelin, step forward, prepare, throw."
Bai Qi had expected in advance that the coalition forces might send cavalry to deal with the trapped camp, so he asked Gao Shun to bring 3,000 javelins in advance, which turned out to be of great use.
The one thousand soldiers behind the shield formation immediately took off their javelins upon hearing the order. When the cavalry approached the shield formation fifty meters away, a thousand javelins were thrown at the cavalry team.
Brush...swipe...swipe...
Three rounds of javelin throwing and three thousand javelins caused at least six to seven hundred casualties to the cavalry. For a time, the battlefield was filled with mourners.
Listening to the screams on the battlefield, Liu Xiu's heart was bleeding. There were many Xiliang cavalry among them, and one of the Xiliang cavalry in his hands died.
"As long as we can get close, with the impact of the cavalry, we will definitely be able to break through the shield formation. The casualties are completely worth it." Liu Xiu comforted himself in his heart.
Liu Xiu miscalculated. If it were an ordinary shield, it would naturally not be able to block the impact of the cavalry, but the shield trapped in the camp was unusual. It was a uniquely strong shield that weighed forty kilograms on each side.
After two hundred shields formed a whole, it was a steel wall weighing eight thousand kilograms, and both were damaged. In addition, the force-bearing area was limited, and there were soldiers behind to support it. How could the light cavalry hit it?
Broken?
Boom...boom...boom...
The coalition cavalry continuously attacked the shield formation trapped in the camp, but all ended up being knocked down by the shield formation. However, the shield wall was intact, but its position was slightly moved.
"How is this possible?"
Liu Xiu, Wu Han, and the entire coalition army were all stunned and couldn't believe this was true.
What kind of shield is this? It's too hard. Everyone secretly thought.
"The Qin army's shields, no, all weapons, are made of steel that is much stronger than ordinary steel."
Liu Xiu secretly thought that at this point, he could not help but doubt that the Qin army's equipment was indeed much more advanced than theirs.
"Did Qin Hao get a new smelting method?"
An instant later, Liu Xiu's eyes flashed with clarity, and he thought: "Qin Hao must have received help from the Mo family or the Gong family, otherwise it would be impossible to create such sophisticated ordnance. It seems that I must also contact the Bai family.
Just a moment."
Liu Xiu also knew that cooperating with Baijia was like seeking skin from a tiger, but as long as he controlled it properly, he could still get benefits. Dong Zhuo and Qin Hao were the best examples.
Just as Liu Xiu was thinking wildly, new changes took place on the battlefield.
After several rounds of collisions, the two thousand cavalrymen had already knocked down many people under the shield wall. Knowing that they could not break through the giant shield, those who arrived later would not fly into flames, but wanted to bypass the shield wall.
Gao Shun's eyes flashed with a trace of ridicule, and then he shouted: "Jie Yuan formation."
"Hey...hey...hey..."
