Chapter 912: The Swordsmen of the Han Army (2)

...

Standing on the trunk of a tree, Duan Pei, the leader of the Green Crows, and more than a dozen other Green Crows, were staring at the battle under the tree with concentration, as if they had no intention of going down to assist the 100-man team where Ran Teng was located.?

They observed the strength and armed forces of the Korean sword soldiers from close range.

Under the attention of a group of green crows, Ran Teng led a hundred Shangshui soldiers to meet the Korean sword soldiers rushing towards them. In this lush forest, both sides gave up using hand crossbows and chose hand-to-hand combat.

"shield!"

With the shouts of the hundreds of generals Ran Teng, the hundreds of Shangshui soldiers raised the shield in their hands. When they rushed to the front of the enemy, they firmly grasped the shield's hand with their left hand and slapped the Korean soldiers with the shield in their hands.

This is the common trick used by Wei's sword and shield soldiers to kill enemies: shield strike.

Using the heavy and strong hands in his hands, he forced himself to crash over to destroy the physical balance of the enemy soldiers. If the opponent is the first person on the battlefield, then his life will be harvested by the sword and shield soldiers of the Wei army in the blink of an eye.

However, the Han army sword and shield soldiers in front of them were very heavy. Facing the shield attack of the Wei army sword and shield soldiers, they resolutely raised the shield in their hands and competed head-on with the latter.

"Bang"

"Bang bang bang"

As a series of muffled sounds of collisions sounded, hundreds of Wei soldiers collided with more than a hundred Han soldiers.

Through the sound of the impact, Ran Teng can tell that the shield in the other party's hand was not all made of iron. It should be covered with a thick layer of cowhide from the sunken wood, otherwise the sound of the impact would not be so dull.

It is our advantage!

After learning that the other party's shield was a wooden shield, Ran Teng was excited.

You should know that so far, the sword and shield soldiers under the command of Su Wangjun have summarized a set of efficient ways to kill the enemy. As long as the first shield hits the opponent unstable, there is a 70% chance that they can instantly reap the opponent's life, and at least seriously injured the opponent.

However, what we saw today was far beyond Ran Teng's expectations.

The other party's reaction...so fast! How could it be...

In Ran Teng's shocked gaze, the Han soldiers who had hit the iron shield head-on with the wooden shield in his hand, although their figure shaking in an instant, then blinked in an eye to stand firm and quickly launched a counterattack.

The opponent's sword turned sideways and stabbed it faster than his sword.

At the critical moment, Ran Teng gritted his teeth, simply bounced off the opponent's long sword with his wrist armor, and waved the sword to slash towards the opponent.

But unfortunately, the other party was quite agile and jumped back half a foot, avoiding the knife that Ran Teng waved hard.

...

After glanced at the clear scratch on the wrist armor, Ran Teng's expression became a little wrong.

At this moment, he was very grateful that the craftsmen of the Arts Bureau designed the wrist armor of their soldiers so thickly. Otherwise, with the sword just now, the other party would probably cut off one of his hands with one sword.

He took the opportunity to take a step forward and slapped at the other party with his left shield again.

The hesitation was close to each other, and Ran Teng could clearly see that the Korean soldier opposite showed a look of hesitation and annoyance on his face.

It's no wonder. After all, the Wei Bing's shield was heavy, and the force of slapping and hitting was much more violent than the shield strikes performed by the skin and wooden shield in the hands of the Han soldier on the opposite side.

Sure enough, Ran Teng still took advantage of the second collision between the shield: he didn't necessarily shake it, but the Korean soldier opposite was knocked back two steps by Ran Teng.

But the problem is that the Han army's sword soldiers always seem to be on the front line faster than the Wei army's sword and shield soldiers.

...The armor is too heavy.

Duan Pei stood on the trunk and watched the battle between the thousand generals Ran Teng and the Korean soldier. After watching for a while, he frowned slightly.

Indeed, the armor of the Wei soldiers was too heavy. The heavily armed helmet and the heavy shield gave the sword and shield soldiers excellent defense capabilities, while also limiting their qualities.

This is just a small problem in the battlefield where there are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. After all, on the battlefield, the person who is really responsible for killing the enemy is actually the crossbow soldiers in the Wei army, and the sword and shield soldiers only play a role in curbing the momentum of the enemy's infantry.

However, in such a small-scale conflict between the enemy and us, encountering an agile enemy like the Korean soldiers, the heavy armor of the Wei soldiers became a burden.

Duan Pei turned his gaze to the opponent of the Thousand General Ran Teng. In fact, he had known for a long time that compared with the sharp long swords and powerful Han crossbows of the Korean sword soldiers, the Han soldiers' shields and armor seemed unremarkable. The former was a wooden shield wrapped in thick cowhide, while the latter was also a light leather armor, with only a few pieces of iron embedded in several key key parts.

Therefore, in Duan Pei's original opinion, the defense ability of the Korean soldiers was very poor.

You should know that the sword and shield soldiers of the Wei State had several parts of the armor that were particularly thickened, which could resist the enemy's sword-cutting, such as wrist armor, and shoulder armor.

It is precisely because of this that although these Shangshui soldiers were cut by the Han soldiers a few times and scratched their armor, their bodies were almost completely harmed.

Because the positioning of the Wei State's sword and shield soldiers is the heavy infantry, the armor they trust will never let them be seriously injured due to the cutting of their weapons.

In contrast, the defense ability of the Korean soldier seemed extremely bad. Duan Pei clearly saw a sword and shield soldier seized the opportunity and hit a Korean soldier on the shoulder with one knife. Suddenly, blood splattered everywhere, and the armor on the Han soldier's chest immediately broke, and his skin was turned into pieces.

Even one arm was cut off like this.

Kill with one knife!

"Damn it!"

With a angrily scolding, a Korean soldier reached out to take off the crossbow hanging behind his waist while retreating, and shot a crossbow at the Wei soldier who killed their companions.

Maybe he could have seen the other party's movements from the corner of his eyes, and the Wei Bingxun blocked the iron shield in his hand in front of him.

With a "ding" sound, a crossbow arrow shot the iron shield in the hand of the Wei soldier. Although the powerful force shocked the Wei soldier and his body tilted, the crossbow arrow finally failed to shoot through the shield in his hand.

The iron shield of Wei’s sword and shield soldiers is not unreasonable, it is enough to block the Han crossbow at close range!

But just as the Wei soldier leaned back, another Han soldier stared at the waist with the long sword in his hand.

"Squeeze"

A creepy metal friction sounded, and the long sword in the hand of the Han soldier barely pierced the Wei soldier's waist.

It could be seen that the Han soldier was a little stunned. Maybe he didn't expect that the sharp sword in his hand could not pierce the armor on Wei Bing's waist at once.

Just when he was stunned, the Wei soldier clenched the sword in his hand in anger. Because of distance, he used his wrist armor to swing a fist on the Han soldier's cheek, slamming the other party's cheek, sunken a few of them, and his teeth fell, and his mouth was covered with blood.

"Old and brave?!"

Another Wei soldier next to him rushed over to help and asked in surprise: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." The Wei Bing, named Lao Zhuang, looked down at the waist where blood was oozing out, and whispered: "It's just that the waist was scraped. Brothers, be careful of the swords in the hands of these guys, which can pierce our armor."

As soon as he finished speaking, another Wei soldier leaned over and sneered in a low voice: "Puncture? The knife in my hand will kill them with one knife!" But after a pause, he added depressedly: "But these guys jumped like mountain monkeys, and they couldn't catch them... It's really damn!"

This may be the general voice of the Wei soldiers present.

In terms of weapons and equipment, the weapons and armor of their Wei soldiers were obviously more than stronger than the opponent, but their excellent defense ability sacrificed their level, so that no matter what they did, they were a little slower than the opponent's Korean soldiers.

When they were complaining secretly, their opponents, the Han army sword soldiers, were also so anxious that they cursed themselves, because in their eyes, the defense performance of the Wei soldiers' armor was really excellent. Even if it was a sharp long sword in their hands, it would take some time to pierce the armor on the other party's body and find the gap between the other party's armor.

It has to be said that this is a battle between the heavy infantry of the Wei Kingdom and the light infantry of the South.

The sharpness of the weapons of both sides is actually not big. The only difference is the armor and shields of both sides: the light armor on the Korean soldiers makes their degree generally faster than that of the Wei soldiers, but once they get over it, they will be finished, and the tolerance rate is extremely low. However, the Wei soldiers rely on their heavy armor on their bodies, even if they resist the attacks of the enemy soldiers a few times, it doesn't matter. The tolerance rate is high, but the problem is that the armor on their bodies is too heavy, so they can't keep up with the opponent's level.

Of course, there are exceptions. After all, there are also talented and powerful soldiers among the Wei soldiers, such as the one named Yangwu, who is still not slow even if he is wearing heavy armor. When he rushed into the formation of the Han soldiers, it seemed like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and it was so pleasant to kill the ground.

"Yangwu, don't be too far ahead! Follow the team!"

With a stern voice, Gan Mao, the former general of the Donglai Army of Qi, saw that the Yangwu boy who was in the army had once again separated from his teammates. Even though he was so angry, he still chased him and helped each other back to back.

Immediately, the other Wei soldiers from the same army also rushed over.

"Don't fight alone!" soldier Le Bao cursed in a low voice.

"Yes, this outfit... this new style of thick armor is too heavy, not conducive to... not for long-term battle..." soldier Li Hui added panting.

Examples of panting like soldiers Li Hui are not uncommon among these Wei soldiers. It may be the first time they encountered an opponent like the Korean sword soldiers, so that they failed to control their physical strength well, so that their attacks on the Korean soldiers became increasingly weak.

Seeing this, Duan Pei, the leader of the Qing Crow who was standing on the trunk to pay attention to the situation of the battle, shook his head slightly.

He knew very well that although in terms of the current battle situation, the soldiers on one side had the upper hand and killed thirty or forty people on the other side with the same force, they had only a few casualties on their side. But the problem was that the soldiers on their side had consumed too much physical strength. Once their physical strength was exhausted, even if they were killed by all the remaining Korean sword soldiers, it would not be impossible.

Thinking of this, Duan Pei took out a palm-long piccoon from his arms and blew it.

Suddenly, green crows rushed from all directions.

"kill!"

In the shocked, angry and depressed eyes of the thousand general Ran Teng, Duan Pei ordered the Qingchao people to join the battle without hesitation.

The Korean sword soldier... is a powerful enemy.
