The Age of Lords Reborn

Chapter 216 Take You Fly (Please Subscribe)
"I really don't understand, how deep is Guishuang?"

"Infantry also have full body armor? Where do they get so much money?"

When the horse archers slowly retreated and the Guishuang infantry began to appear from behind, the fat man's eyes were about to stare straight.

Using the most popular words in China to describe Fatty's inner monologue at the moment, it is:

I have an MMP, I don't know if I should say it or not!

The cavalry has iron shells for full body protection, and the fat man can bear it after a few glances.After all, everyone knows that cavalry is expensive, even if the Central Asian nation wants to train qualified cavalry, it is not so easy.

But what about infantry?

From the day when human beings had wars, the status of infantry was not equal to cannon fodder, but it was not much better. It was a group of characters who did dirty work and then charged to death.

Climb first, fall into battle, the Broadsword team.

Just by hearing these names, you can tell that the glory of infantry is piled up with death.

Arms similar to heavy infantry do not exist.But in the infantry family, heavy infantry is definitely a scarce item, and even among the big men, there are fewer heavy infantry than cavalry.

The elite infantry of the big man, regardless of the crossbowmen, can be worn with cloth armor, and it is good to be able to wear a set of leather armor.

If you issue a shield, well, it is the most elite infantry of the big man, because ordinary infantry only needs to kill the enemy, and if they die, they can recruit another batch, and there is no need to issue shields.

But look at the group of Guishuang infantry outside, the fat bass almost wants to hit the wall.

What about the Han Empire that was said to be number one in combat power?
Is it said that the big man is the powerful country in the world?

When your soldiers can't even wear leather armor, other infantry are fully armed from head to toe like cavalry, Bass really doesn't know how to fight this battle.

But he couldn't make too many discouraged remarks, so he could only hold back his anger and stare at Guishuang's pawns, his eyes were full of a red light called "envy, jealousy and hatred".

"How much money does Guishuang have, hehe~ This question is actually easy to answer."

Watching the Guishuang heavy infantry slowly approaching, Mo Xiaobai smiled, and pointed his right hand to his feet: "The place we are standing now is called the 'Silk Road', and it is a commercial road full of gold. You know I don’t know who controlled the entire Silk Road when the Western Han Dynasty withdrew from the Western Regions and even handed over Yiwu City to the Huns?”

"Leaving aside those old accounts for the time being, let's just say that now with Congling as the boundary, Ban Gu barely controls the Western Regions to the east with his godlike operations, but who owns the west? If I were the King of Guishuang, even if I set up ten tolls along the way station, you can get rich."

"Guishuang is really rich now, so rich that Dawan alone is enough to launch a large-scale attack. This time it was only their vice king who led the troops to attack. Xie, the vice king of Guishuang, is actually a prince. Forget it, the real main force of Guishuang is still in the south, because there are really too many high-quality resources in India."

"It is because of money that Guishuang can fight on two fronts so willfully!"

Putting the saber back into its sheath, Mo Xiaobai held the spear on the ground into his palm: "It is also because the people of Guishuang are too headstrong that the nameless king of Guishuang dared to ask to marry the princess of the Han Dynasty, heh, this is His request, rather than his request, is interesting, isn't it?"

"Now, it's up to us to kill Guishuang's arrogance and willfulness, and let them know that money is not everything!"

"War, after all, we will know the result after fighting!"

As Mo Xiaobai's voice fell, Guishuang's heavy infantry gradually came a hundred paces outside the city. Li Ji waved his right hand and ordered the archers to attack again.

Hundreds of bows and arrows rained down, but the footsteps of the Guishuang heavy infantry didn't stop at all, holding the shield with one hand to block the side of the head, and continued to charge forward.

In terms of excellent equipment, Guishuang is indeed the king of this era.

"Rolling Stone, smash it!"

A round of bow and arrow trials was invalid, and it would not affect Li Ji's command. When the archers retreated slowly and began to scatter and throw, the big Han soldiers on the edge of the city wall immediately picked up the boulder and smashed it down.

Siege warfare has always been so cruel.

Huge rolling stones fall from the top of the city, no matter whether you are wearing leather armor or iron armor, there is no second way of resistance other than avoiding.

And once you are hit by a rolling stone, congratulations.

You can retreat from the battlefield, of course, the premise is that you are still alive.

In the deserts of the Western Regions, it has always been difficult to collect large stones, so in the past, there were very few siege battles in the Western Regions, and most of them were fighting in the wild.

But the arrival of Ban Chao has brought different changes to Shule and Shache, which are based on Congling.

In terms of building temples and Buddhist temples, the current Han people are probably not as good as the Guishuang Empire, which spread Buddhism widely, but when it comes to building and defending cities, the Han people can really beat other countries by a distance of one solar system.

In this regard, the Han and Tang Dynasties are interlinked.

Ban Chao is good at defending, and Li Ji is also good at defending.

It's just that Li Ji's ability in this area has been hidden since he returned to the Tang Dynasty. It was only because the Tang Dynasty didn't really need guards in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. It's an offensive maniac.

Rolling stones and thunder woods continued to fall, and Guishuang's heavy infantry rushed to the bottom of the city wall against the offensive, and leaned the long ladder up to the top of the city.

The long ladder has a base and a hook. It is not easy to push it down. Dozens of long ladders stand up, and Guishuang heavy infantry will climb up the next moment.

It was also at this time that Li Ji suddenly ordered the city to suspend the attack and put the Guishuang infantry up.

Just when a heavy infantryman was about to approach the edge of the city wall, Li Ji waved his right hand: "Crossbowmen, go!"

The crossbow of Han!

It is often improved from generation to generation, not only the firing power is stronger, but even the crossbow arrows are sharper than the Qin crossbow.

This kind of crossbow may not be convenient to load and unload, but it has an obvious advantage, that is:
Break Armor!

Ban Chao's Han army is very small, but he has equipped his men with armor-piercing crossbows!
"Whoosh whoosh~"

With short-distance precise shooting, the crossbowmen of the Han army can even accurately aim at the forehead, neck, and heart of Guishuang heavy infantry.

The Guishuang infantry who had just leaned out half of their body on the city wall soon received a death blow.

"kill!"

Mo Xiaobai, who was holding a spear, did not use a crossbow.It's not that the defending Han army is reluctant to give it to him, but that Mo Xiaobai has absolutely no use for this kind of thing.

Soldiers are equipped on a large scale and can kill multiple enemy soldiers at once, but the arrows must be reloaded after shooting. This process is still complicated. It can be said that reloading is too cumbersome, which is the biggest shortcoming that restricts the development of the crossbow.

Mo Xiaobai prefers to use close-up weapons to solve problems. With one pick and one sweep of the spear, he quickly swept a Guishuang heavy infantry down the long ladder.

"Eat the fat master with a sword!"

Beside Mo Xiaobai, Perch followed suit, still holding the Greek one-handed sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword thrust forward fiercely, which could also break through the armor of the Guishuang heavy infantry.

If it was said that Mo Xiaobai relied on force to kill the enemy, Bayu was completely crushed by technology.

Holding the only sharp steel sword on the battlefield in his hand, no Guishuang soldier can stop his slashing.

"Ha~ With the magic weapon in hand, Fatty, I kill enemies like melons and vegetables!"

The perch became more and more excited, blushing and yelling at Mo Xiaobai:

"Brother, it's my turn to take you flying today!"
