God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

It was with this idea in mind that Zhang Ren chose to let Liu Gui's front-line troops retreat and return to the rear to regroup.

Although the actual number of deaths in that round of attacks was less than 20%, suffering such casualties in such a short period of time was stressful for most armies.

Even with high morale, they became much calmer after this blow, and the force of their attack was naturally much smaller.

If he fails to crush the opponent's rotation defense, he would just be training the opponent and even become a living target for the opponent. Zhang Ren would naturally not be so stupid as to choose to do such a meaningless thing.

The order was quickly issued, and the front-line troops of the Han Empire's front army were replaced. There was no rush to launch an attack at the first time, but instead they re-arranged their troops.

Witnessing this situation, Durga frowned and looked at Zhang Ren, guessing Zhang Ren's thoughts and plans.

It can be said that seeing this situation, it was unclear for a moment whether Zhang Ren wanted to retreat or continue fighting.

However, even though Zhang Ren's relocation of the army caused chaos, Durga still did not send troops to seize this opportunity to attack.

Durga, who did not have many elite troops under his command, knew very well that the soldiers on the other side were absolutely elite. Even if he forced his way in, he might not be able to annihilate the other side in a short time.

When the situation becomes chaotic, the gap in quality and combat experience between the enemy and us is likely to cause his newly-arranged defense line to fail.

There is no need to lose the possibility of winning for a small profit.

Knowing this, Durga immediately gave up the idea of ​​attacking and waited for Zhang Ren to continue.

Wu Yi responded to the order and led the army from the second line back to the first line. He saw the scattered but orderly spears on the battlefield. As he watched most of the spears sink into the ground, he calmed down a lot on the spot. He no longer had the calmness and carefreeness he had at the beginning.

"Is the order to attack? In that case, let's attack!" Wu Yi took a deep breath, looked at the shields of the Kushan Empire soldiers in the distance, drew the sword at his waist, and swung the sword forward.

The army following Wu Yi, almost at the same time, raised their tower shields and marched forward in formation.

Looking at the rows of tower shields, which were nearly as tall as a person, a trace of disdain flashed across Durga's face, but he quickly hid it.

How could a mere shield possibly stop the Peacock Legion's attack? Especially not with such a huge shield.

It is common knowledge that the larger the shield is, the weaker its single-point defense capability will be, and it will be more difficult to block powerful arrows.

"But since you want to deploy troops to fight against me, how can I be afraid?" Durga also quickly arranged his own progress based on the situation shown by the opponent, preparing to win this victory.

The tower shield soldiers marched forward in unison, even wearing gauntlets on their hands. They were fully armed in the true sense of the word, although the only weapon they could actually use to kill the enemy besides the shield was a ring-handled sword.

But when serving as the first-line defense, the defense is really reliable.

However, these shields are not ordinary shields after all. They are equipment that Wu Yi spent a lot of money to assemble.

In other words, all the equipment of the legions they had were bought by themselves without exception. However, facing Wu Yi's behavior, the people of Yizhou not only did not stop him, but were even somewhat happy to see him succeed.

After all, Wu Yi is a native of Yizhou and represents part of Yizhou. It would be a good thing if he had independent and powerful power in his hands.

"Prepare bows and crossbows!" Seeing that the Kushan soldiers were approaching again and had already started shooting arrows, Wu Yi directly adapted to the flag soldiers around him and passed on the flag order.

The equipment of the legion soldiers leaning behind the tower shield soldiers seemed to be much worse than that of the front-line tower shield soldiers.

Apart from a nice helmet, it only has gauntlets, which look pretty good. As for the armor, it uses high-quality leather armor. The reason for choosing leather armor is because this type of armor is relatively light.

If you are not short of money, you can make such a trade-off, not because the item is too expensive, but because you have to give way to some things when you have limited load capacity.

"Fire!" Looking at the single-shot crossbows that the soldiers took down one after another, and the arrows made by the soldiers themselves, Wu Yi felt much more satisfied.

Turning his attention back to the enemy's front line, looking at the enemy's equally densely packed shields, as well as the bullets and various consumables that occasionally hit his own shields, Wu Yi knew that he still needed to advance this distance.

When the distance is directly compressed to within a hundred steps, the nature will be completely different.

Durga, who had built a second line of defense, would certainly not withdraw his troops on his own initiative. Instead, he quietly waited for Wu Yi's attack.

It can be said that Durga felt a lot more relaxed when seeing this scene.

The posture and formation of the Han Empire's army before us, if we leave out the left and right wings, does look like a normal exploratory battle of a large army. As for the previous crazy charge, it does not look like a normal battle of a large army at all.

However, we have to admit that if the previous method is used on a smaller scale, not many people can withstand it.

Once you can't hold on any longer, retreating is a lucky thing. If you are unlucky, being wiped out is possible.

Durga was just about to sigh that everything was normal and was preparing to strengthen the central army's long-range strike, but when the two armies approached within thirty steps, she saw the crossbows raised behind the shields and instantly realized that something was wrong.

The next moment after this thought came up, accompanied by a series of neat bowstring sounds, the defense line that had been prepared to respond instantly fell down in an orderly manner like wheat being cut.

Without giving Durga a chance to react quickly, the soldiers of the Wu Yi Legion, who had already prepared for rotation, began to shoot in rotation.

Holding a crossbow in their hands and another on their backs, they formed four rows in a line, alternating front and back in an orderly manner. They forced their way through the opponent's counterattack, and in less than four breaths, they fired a full eight rounds of volleys from a thousand people.

After this shot, Wu Yi's army stopped advancing and moved their shields sideways, allowing the Lei Tong Army, which had been prepared for a long time, to rush forward quickly.

Looking at the large open space that suddenly appeared in front of him, Lei Tong's eyes were filled with surprise, but then he thought about it and felt the same way.

With this continuous attack, the money earned is estimated to be able to pay the entire army several months' salary. After all, it is a long-range strike method prepared for super elite troops. It is a bit of a waste to use it on these soldiers. However, the opportunity has arisen!
