Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 877: Just One Point Short
The appearance of the spiral spearmen made Yue Fei look gloomy. This type of soldier was just like that. Although the three talents were powerful enough, it was pure daydreaming to want to overthrow Yue Fei.
The Kushans also have similar troops. Although the talent framework is definitely different, the types of both sides are actually very similar.
They are all spearmen with strong attack power. Theoretically, they have a good chance of piercing the armor of the Emperor's Guards.
The defensive troops on the side of the gods and demons simply couldn't hold on.
"It's effective. Keep going forward and suppress him. Make a hole for me at all costs!"
Dorgon was shocked, and the spiral spearmen on the front line who received the order charged even more frantically. Relying on their strong strength, they forcibly tore a hole in the defense line and cut off the cloud flow of nearby soldiers.
Although Yue Fei relied on the mental power of his advisers to maintain the blessing of the cloud energy, the impact of the formation being torn apart was not limited to this aspect.
Yue Fei thought about it and dispatched a legion of spearmen to plug the gap.
"A bunch of noobs, kill them all!"
The Qing army's spiral spearmen roared and charged forward. They were very confident in their charge speed.
But the next moment, the faces of the charging spearmen changed drastically.
The spearmen that Yue Fei mobilized had spears in their hands that were two meters longer than theirs.
The next moment, these spearmen raised their spears high, and then swung them down heavily, abandoning the conventional straight-line piercing of spearmen, thereby intensifying the swing, relying on the spear shaft and length to bring about a powerful swinging force.
The charging spearmen were caught off guard and were instantly smashed into a puddle of mud by the dense gun barrels.
Although the spiral spearmen wore chain mail, which was enough to resist the armor-piercing arrows used by regular archers, their defense was insufficient to resist various powerful attacks, and this kind of swing from top to bottom was a loophole in their defense.
Of course, corresponding to this is the weakness of the super spearmen's close combat capability. Although they are also equipped with secondary weapons such as axes, their talents are composed of linkage and strength talents.
By influencing each other by stepping on the right foot with the left foot, the speed of raising the gun can be increased, and the burst can be enhanced through strength talent. If it is changed to melee weapons such as axes, the effect is much worse.
To some extent, this legion is actually somewhat similar to the Macedonian Phalanx. They do not seek to advance on the front line, but to act as chevaux de frise to suppress and block the advance of special arms.
Relying on the completely restrained positioning, the three-talent gun formation was actually suppressed by the double-talent gun formation.
Although the charge of a three-talent soldier can steadily take away an enemy, exchanging three talents for two talents is obviously a huge loss.
Faced with this hedgehog formation, the Qing army had a real headache. The opponent's longer spears were smashed down in a dense manner. Not to mention them, even some defensive troops could not withstand it.
"Archers, shoot them all!" Dorgon took a glance and roughly understood.
This type of spearman is indeed very effective in restraining charging troops. After all, when they stab the first row of soldiers to death, all the spear barrels above their heads will fall down, and even the Xiliang Iron Cavalry cannot withstand it.
However, the disadvantage of this type of spearman is also obvious: he has no ability to defend against arrows.
However, without archers, the combat effectiveness of these spearmen is extremely amazing. Even if the top veterans enter the inner circle, they seem extremely powerless in the face of such attacks, and at most a few people will be taken away with them.
This is also the charm of large-scale gun formations, but the only problem is that gun formations are completely eliminated by archers.
It is undeniable that large-scale gun formations are very difficult to deal with on the frontal battlefield, especially the gun formation fabricated by Yue Fei, which is easier to fight against the enemy and even block the enemy's elite.
Before these spearmen are exhausted, it will be difficult to advance even with three talents.
Originally, the best way to deal with a spear formation is to cover it with archers. If you want to use the spear phalanx well, you can only exert the maximum attack power without a shield, so the flaw is obvious.
But Dorgon didn't dare to let his archers launch an attack. The archers on Yue Fei's side had just completed their transfer and were preparing to launch another attack.
Once he takes action, the archers will surely be bombarded with a violent rain of arrows.
If the deterrent power of the archers was lost, Yue Fei would have to rely on this large-scale spearmen and cannon fodder to advance on the front line, and other elite troops would work together to strangle and blockade Dorgon, and he would be in a very passive position.
Deterrence is most threatening before it breaks out.
Dorgon was extremely solemn. He was 100% sure that once the archers on his side took action, they would no longer be greeted with an ordinary rain of arrows, but a merciless outburst from the Changshui Camp.
Dorgon was already quite familiar with Changshuiying and Sheshengying.
The situation briefly came to a stalemate, and the gap that had been finally opened could not be utilized at this moment.
In such a densely packed battlefield, it was impossible to penetrate the gaps in the gun formation from behind, and without archers to suppress the gun formation, the front line of defense was successfully stabilized again like a reef facing the waves.
Even if a piece of it breaks from time to time, the overall situation remains as stable as a rock.
Dorgon was so confused that he wondered why the battle ended up back to square one.
Dorgon didn't know that before Yue Fei became a military god, he often faced fierce bombardment from other military gods, so Yue Fei had a wealth of experience in stabilizing the front line.
This is also the reason why he started adjusting the legion's talent framework as soon as he arrived.
Facing the god of war, Yue Fei would not be careless at all.
Dorgon was very troubled. He had never fought such a troublesome war in his life.
No matter what means he used, Yue Fei seemed to have a way to counterattack. Even if he could gain a small advantage on the front line, he would be equalized immediately the next moment.
But the problem is that the army he led was definitely stronger than the ragtag troops under Yue Fei's command, so it was natural for him to have the advantage, and balance meant that he was at a disadvantage.
This is also Dorgon's biggest problem. The God of War can become stronger, although not qualitatively stronger. However, he can often compete with other Gods of War, and is definitely stronger than Dorgon who works in isolation.
It’s not that Dorgon had never competed with Huang Taiji, but Huang Taiji’s status was there, so even if he could defeat Dorgon, he would not win.
As a result, Dorgon and Huang Taiji never had a fierce competition, so Dorgon was always a little short of the mark.
But Yue Fei was different. Guys like Han Xin and Sun Wu were eager to beat the younger generation until their faith in Taoism was shattered. Both sides were fighting with all their might.
Therefore, in this life-and-death war, Yue Fei was far more adaptable than Dorgon.
Dorgon always felt that he was almost able to tear apart Yue Fei's defense line, which was indeed true, but there was just this shortcoming that Dorgon could not overcome no matter what he did.
Dorgon went from being unconvinced at first to being unwilling to accept it, and then to becoming numb. Finally, he faced the reality and realized that he was really not as good as Yue Fei.
After recognizing the facts, Dorgon stopped thinking about how to break through the enemy at a lower cost, and began to think about how to break through the enemy. A single thought could multiply the losses.
But Dorgon knew that if he didn't do this, he would probably not be able to break through the defense line in front of him.
Dorgon stared at the battle front closely. Since he had decided to pile up losses, he had to choose the most meaningful place to pile up the losses.
Yue Fei felt a different dispatch.
His expression became serious. He understood that, unlike before, now was the time to really test himself.
If he made a mistake in his response, Dorgon would most likely break through. Even if only half of his men broke through, it would be a strategic mistake.
Yue Fei also stared at the battle line intently. From the very beginning, he had been holding Jiang Wei and his own troops, waiting. Even when the situation became dangerous to a certain extent, he would simply mobilize other legions to block the attack.
Because he was waiting for an opportunity, he would never make a move as long as he could hold on. Unless there was a chance to kill Dorgon in one go, he would never move.
His mission was to guard this place and prevent the Qing army from passing.
As for whether he could defeat Dorgon, it didn’t matter to Yue Fei at all.
"Go ahead, everyone, go all out and kill the enemy!" Dorgon frantically gave the order after making some arrangements.
A heavy cavalry corps with three talents mounted their horses, drove the mounts under their crotch, and rushed towards the battle line on Yue Fei's flank at a not very high frequency.
The group of three thousand people appeared to have the momentum of thirty thousand at this moment, and a large amount of cloud gas poured towards them.
Almost every soldier from top to bottom exuded an aura of terror.
Eighty percent of the Qing army's cavalry were Eight Banners cavalry, but there were also some special cavalry. Most of them underwent specific changes due to the influence of the talents of their commanders.
This is the case with these 3,000 heavy cavalry.
Normal heavy cavalry would strengthen their own defense, enhance their impact capability, and then directly break through the battle line.
But these 3,000 heavy cavalry are different. Under the leadership of their commander, they possess a special ability, which is shock.
They can control vibrations, whether they are power vibrations, shock waves, or vibration force fields.
Heavy cavalry would generate shock waves when charging. After being amplified by the army's secret technique to produce a small-scale earthquake, this cavalry gained destructive power.
"Prepare the gun formation!" Yue Fei responded immediately.
But after making preparations, Yue Fei still felt a strong sense of crisis and directly mobilized the Beiwei Army to strengthen the defense.
And just as Yue Fei expected, since Dorgon decided to explode, he had no intention of holding back.
To break through the defense line at all costs, this was Dorgon’s final decision.
Three thousand heavy cavalrymen pulled down their armor, gripped their spears tightly, and charged with roars.
Just a gun array! Crush it!
Then, when the gun formation was fully prepared, he charged forward without hesitation.
The heavy cavalry were galloping at high speed, not sparing any horsepower, and even fed with secret medicine to burn their lives. These horses had become crazy, and they crashed into the forest of guns without stopping, easily crushing the opponent's defense line.
The heavy weight, combined with the high-speed charge, was enough to smash the forest of spears in front of them to pieces. Countless spears broke and thousands of heavy cavalrymen fell off their horses.
There was no such thing as people falling to the ground. The spearmen in formation were simply crushed to pieces. They didn't even need to attack. They just fell to the ground with a slight bump. Their hooves, which were bigger than bowls, stepped on them like mud.
There was no need for any attack to directly take away thousands of soldiers in the spear formation, but Yue Fei had a backup plan. Behind the forest of spears was a shield wall.
But it was still useless. Even the heavy cavalry, which had been slowed down by the gunfire, still launched a terrifying impact.
Especially when all the shield soldiers were holding their breath, the sudden violent vibration under their feet completely threw them off balance.
Then the impact arrived, and before the shield soldiers could react, a large part of their defense line was crushed. The shields in their hands were directly smashed into a V shape, and had no protective effect at all.
Behind the heavy cavalry were a large number of cavalry and infantry. They began to charge madly, continuing to charge along the bloody path created by the heavy cavalry.
The three-talented heavy cavalry were like consumables in Dorgon's hands. While they broke through several lines of defense in succession, their own casualties had exceeded half, but they still did not stop.
Yue Fei's Beiwei Army finally arrived.
The shockwaves were surging beneath their feet, but the Beiwei soldiers stood firm as if they felt nothing.
The commander of the heavy cavalry looked indifferently at the Beiwei army in front of him, then urged his precious horses forward and charged forward fearlessly.
"Oh!"
More than a dozen spears simultaneously stabbed at the layer of shock barrier that wrapped the warhorse. This layer of barrier helped them block most of the impact. The stronger the recoil force, the thicker this barrier would be.
The spear went through the vibration of the stance and stabbed the man and horse, causing them to fall to the ground.
The last heavy cavalry that wanted to crush the Beiwei Army had long been swept into the dustbin of history.
If you want to smash and crush Beiwei, you'd better go back and practice more.
Although it was because the heavy cavalry lost power after breaking through several lines of defense in succession, no matter what the reason was, there was no second chance.
The charge of the heavy cavalry was easily blocked by the Beiwei soldiers carrying large shields and long spears. Then the Beiwei soldiers holding swords and axes crossed the shield wall and began to hack and kill the heavy cavalry who had lost their speed.
An entire three-talent legion perished in less than a quarter of an hour, and the casualties did not even reach a ratio of one to five. They were directly annihilated by the Beiwei Army.
After paying such a heavy price, Dorgon naturally achieved the effect he wanted. A gap was finally opened in the battle line, and the Qing army's infantry and cavalry advanced in an orderly manner, expanding the gap infinitely.
Yue Fei frowned. The opponent's tactics changed too much. Under normal circumstances, it would be enough to smash the forest of spears and shield walls. However, the opponent sent an entire three-talent legion. The purpose might be to force him to mobilize the Beiwei Army.
Although he didn't know what the other side wanted to do, it was obvious that the other side had begun to exchange pieces at all costs. This kind of war of exchanging capital was not what he wanted.
More importantly, he didn't have enough cards in his hand to fight with Dorgon to the end.
Once you fall into this rhythm, there will definitely be problems. (End of this chapter)
