Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 296

[Chapter 296]

“Kill!” A

roar came from the soldiers of the palace.

They raised their long knives and slashed at the Xiliang soldiers.

Some Xiliang soldiers just put on their clothes but didn’t put on their armor because they were in a panic.

Under the sharp blades of the soldiers of the palace, there was a soft “呲” sound of meat being cut open.

Blood splashed from Xiliang Bing’s body.

With a scream, the Xiliang soldier fell into a pool of blood.

Immediately, more palace soldiers rushed over.

All of these palace soldiers were wearing plate armor.

After arriving in Hengshan County, they rested for a while and recovered their strength.

When the city gate was broken, they went straight into the city under the leadership of the general, acting as the vanguard to kill the enemy.

Facing these soldiers of King Yan who were all covered in armor, the Xiliang soldiers who were already in chaos could not resist at all.

After hundreds of people were hacked and killed, these Xiliang soldiers completely collapsed, and ran away regardless of the other soldiers in the camp.

The rout started with one Xiliang soldier, followed by dozens, and later turned into hundreds.

Seeing the generals of the palace, the soldiers were even more depressed to kill the enemy.

Their task is not to annihilate the enemies in the city, but to drive them to the north gate like ducks.

Let them escape from the north gate, the real killing intent is outside the north gate.

“Boom!”

Just as they were fighting, a violent metal knocking sounded.

It turned out that a tall Xiliang soldier took a long hammer and knocked on the chest of the plate armor of the soldier in the palace.

The soldiers of the palace were thrown backwards by Juli and fell to the ground one meter, only to feel the severe pain in the chest.

Seeing the other soldiers of the palace, two soldiers rushed up immediately, one on the left and one on the right.

One cut down the road with a knife, and the other hit the road with a knife.

The tall Xiliang soldier couldn’t dodge, a deep gash was drawn on his thigh, and he fell to the ground suddenly. Two soldiers stepped forward and stabbed him, killing the Xiliang soldier.

Looking up, they saw several tall soldiers among the Xiliang soldiers wielding long hammers.

It doesn’t hurt to get hit in other parts of the body.

Some soldiers were hit on the head and fell down immediately.

The generals who commanded them also noticed this problem.

He immediately led his soldiers to deal with these tall Xiliang soldiers.

South City Wall.

After the place was completely occupied, Zhao Xu and Chang Wei climbed up the city wall.

Condescending, he held a telescope to see the battle situation in the city at a glance.

At present, most Xiliang soldiers are still gathered near the big camp in the city.

Some of the Xiliang soldiers there were fighting with the soldiers of the palace, while some fled to the north gate.

Overview for a while.

His eyes were quickly attracted by the battle situation near Xiliang Camp.

Chang Wei seemed to have discovered it earlier than he did. He said, “Your Highness, the people of Xiliang seem to know how to deal with plate armor.”

Zhao Xu nodded.

He sold the plate armor to the Ma family, and the Ma family fought against the Xiliang people.

Xiliang will definitely study how to deal with this new type of armor.

That is with a hammer.

Of course, the hammer is not just the nemesis of plate armor, but the nemesis of all armor.

In comparison, due to the curvature of the plate armor, if it is hit in a place other than the head, the resistance will be better.

But there’s nothing you can do if you get hit in the head.

Even wearing a contemporary helmet would blow your brains out.

After all, hammers are blunt weapons, relying on concussion to kill.

But even so, due to the hard texture of the plate armor helmet and the thick cloth lining, it cannot be dealt with by ordinary small hammers.

Therefore, if you want to deal with plate armor, you have to use a sledgehammer.

But the sledgehammer is very heavy, and it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to dance, and even if they dance, their movements are very slow.

This can be seen from the action of the blacksmith striking the iron.

So in the end, only tall and powerful soldiers can use hammers to deal with soldiers wearing plate armor.

But there are not many soldiers with such strength.

Although this poses a certain threat to the soldiers of the palace wearing plate armor, it is not very great.

“It doesn’t affect the overall situation.” Zhao Xu said.

The generals and soldiers who were fighting in the telescope quickly targeted these Xiliang soldiers.

Although tall and powerful, the movements of these soldiers were not as flexible as the soldiers of the palace holding swords, and they were quickly eliminated one by one.

And these Xiliang soldiers were killed. Facing the soldiers of the palace, the Xiliang soldiers collapsed even faster.

After all, the defense of plate armor against swords and arrows is top-notch.

They can’t chop at all.

And this is also the reason why Zhao Xu did not give up the plate armor and always equipped the army.

The current Dasong is still in the era of mixing hot and cold weapons.

It is not advisable to give up cold weapons completely.

Fusiliers wearing only civilian clothes will definitely suffer when fighting hand-to-hand with armored enemy troops.

Therefore, even his fusiliers wore scales.

“It’s all resolved.” Chang Wei also breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

The soldiers of the palace are all his treasures, and it hurts him to lose one.

“Boom boom boom…”

When the two were staring at the battlefield, a burst of artillery sounded.

It turned out that the artillerymen pushed the six-pound field artillery to the center of the battlefield and fired at the Xiliang camp.

Since the field artillery was loaded with grape bullets, as soon as the cannon was fired, Zhao Xu saw a small piece of Xiliang soldiers who were crowded together fall down, and more than a dozen Xiliang soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

“Boom boom boom…”

At this time, there were twenty of such light field guns facing the Xiliang camp.

Amidst the rumble of cannons, Xiliang soldiers kept falling.

In front of them were soldiers of the palace wearing plate armor, which could not be pierced by swords.

The side was bombarded by artillery again, and the Xiliang soldiers completely collapsed.

They couldn’t find their generals at all, and no one stopped them from fleeing.

The instinct to survive made them unable to persist in fighting any longer.

“Rumble…” When the

Xiliang soldiers fled in large numbers, the follow-up troops of the Wangfu soldiers entered Hengshan City in neat steps.

On one side is a silver torrent entering from three city gates.

On the one hand, they threw away their helmets and armor, and the Xiliang soldiers fled northward from the city in chaos.

Ye Renrong had fled to the north gate at this time.

Closing his eyes, he looked very painful.

Once the army retreats, the war cannot be won.

It is still difficult to convey military orders to generals on the battlefield.

In the defeated army, even if the military god is alive, he cannot convey the order to all the generals, and the generals can then convey to all the soldiers.

Often it can only be that the general is accompanied by only a few cronies, and the other soldiers are busy fleeing for their lives.

And such an army can only be slaughtered in the face of a well-commanded army.

“Deputy leader, if you don’t leave, it will be too late.” The general beside Ye Renrong looked anxious.

With great difficulty, he summoned three hundred cavalry escorts.

If you don’t go, you really can’t go.

Resentment flashed in his eyes, he slapped his horsewhip hard, and rushed out of the north gate.

However, he had just walked less than three miles, and when he passed a forest, suddenly there was a thunderous explosion.

The horse was frightened when he sat down and overturned him to the ground.

The moment his head landed, he saw a cloud of blood erupting from the cavalry behind him.

At the same time, many soldiers were killed from the numbers on both sides.

There were also silver-armored cavalrymen rushing out of the woods, chasing and killing the scattered Xiliang soldiers with sabers.

Then he just felt a pain in his head and passed out.
