Chapter 2: Everyone Gets Down
.4,000 infantrymen are shining in the sun. Why do you say that? Except for the Yulin Armor series used black armor with golden decorative lines used by the Song Dynasty Yulin Army, all sold to the outside world are shining. They are polished very brightly, which meets the needs of Arab warriors and European cavalry like to show off.
The advantage is that using telescopes commonly equipped by the Yulin Army of the Song Dynasty, their actions can be discovered 50 kilometers away in a clear sky. Even on the night of the moon, or with the help of flares, the light of the battlefield lighting system can be found to reach 5 to 10 kilometers. After all, the reflection level of these bright armors is too high. The most exaggerated mirror armor used by the officers sold is not only better at the protection, but also the most important thing is to shave the face against those armors.
For the future army, this is definitely a disaster. But for the army at this time, the gorgeous shape is exactly what they need. Even they are specialized in the battlefield to wear those shiny armor.
This habit of officers affected soldiers. Although the soldiers' armor could not reach that brightness, they could gradually make their armor shine when they gave them grinding blocks. This allowed the soldiers to do their work in their daily lives and became much more stable in their spare time.
It is for this reason that when the infantrymen of Bershallo, Governor Bahayi, formed a large area of light as they advanced. In the afternoon sun, it was as bright as if a large piece of glass was laid on the ground.
This is a kind of mighty man, a man who has not bought enough of the Yulin armor series armor, the Governor and Sultans, are inferior to each other. Because this represents a problem with the power of "Aladdin Emperor". People with poor relationships cannot buy these products. People such as Governor Carlos, or Governor Blasaro, can only buy enough equipment because of their many years of relationship with the Zhao family. And compared to others, what they buy is cheaper.
What made the infantry pleased was that they had not been taken care of by raindrop cannons. Although the city was constantly spraying out white smoke from the copper cannons when they were fired, they were hit by the arrow towers and ladder trucks. They turned into pieces and flew everywhere under the attack of lead projectiles.
Although the soldiers kept moving forward with an unfast pace, their eyes were looking at the arrow towers and ladders from their armor. The people on their faces screamed, and their bodies fell from about ten meters like stones. Even if they were just a mistake, they were wearing armor and fell down, and their bones were broken.
But the infantrymen didn't know that what was flying in the sky here was a deadly thing for them. The feather arrows of the Congcheng flew from the city head to the sky according to Zhao Xu's orders, and the open space behind the city wall. The people behind the city wall did not aim at it at all. They just shot the arrows at the fastest speed according to the command of the commander.
But the people on the top of the city shot much more accurately. When they approached 100 meters, they could shoot at a relatively accurate distance. At this time, these large pieces of feather arrows flew from Yulin Village on these dazzling armor.
The eyes of the walking infantry squinted behind the armor. They looked at the feather arrows running fast, but they were not afraid. They were wearing the infringe armor from the Yulin Armor series. As mentioned earlier, this kind of infringe armor has good defense capabilities for crossbow weapons. The infantry squinted their eyes, avoiding the blazing sunlight, and looking at the pieces of feather arrows flying towards them.
Suddenly, they opened their eyes wide, and some despair appeared in their eyes. Among the large patches of feather arrows, there were some spherical and porcelain-shaped objects. There was no need to ask what that was. At this moment, their officer suddenly shouted.
"Let's go down..."
This order has never been heard by the soldiers, but those who have experienced a battle among them understand such orders. When the officers shouted, almost all the soldiers lay on the ground together. The human-shaped mirrors that were originally standing became a mirror paved underground. This change was surprising, especially Zhao Xu on the city wall.
"Boom boom boom..."
There were still continuous explosions, but this time the people who were lying underground could feel some shells exploded around them. But the fragments did not explode on them. Although everyone could feel that the flames passed through the side of their backs. The explosions brought them spiritual shock, the fragments used to kill did not play their due role.
As we know, the splash of debris of shells will form at the same angle. The spherical shells can truly kill, but only those that splash equally with the ground. The rest either fly into the sky or fly at a very short distance and are knocked into the soil.
This is the countermeasure that Zhao Wuji thought of based on the blows the soldiers encountered during an attack. Bahayi, Governor of Blasaro, did not expect that although Zhao Wuji had never really fought on the battlefield, his head was actually quite useful. It is not difficult to understand that Zhao Wuji received traditional education from the Song Dynasty and had no interest in religion. Because of this reason, his vision was much wider than that of Bahayi, Governor of Blasaro.
The wind passing through the battlefield swept away the thick smoke after the explosion, and the soldiers wearing the Inner Armor had a little difficulty when they got up. Because of the heavy armor, the shock of their spirit, the shock of their ears and minds, they all had a short dizziness. The sound of explosions was still roaring in their ears, and they stood up swayingly. The sky in their eyes was still shaking.
This is the reaction of the brain when it is shocked, but then they hear a faint sound, like a sound of words coming from the bottom of the water.
"Charge...forward..."
The officer who stood up waved the sword in his hand and ran forward crookedly. Under the leadership of the officers, the soldiers let out various screams and followed their commanders to the Yulin Village in front.
