Chapter 1817: Royal palace melee, Tang army is invincible
Standing on the turret of Ban Gai Palace, you can overlook the chaotic battlefield ahead. You can clearly see that Suga's soldiers were rushed through a gap. The coalition forces rushed out of the gap like a flood and rushed towards Ban Gai Palace. Come.
The sound of "Woo-Woo" horns resounded throughout the palace. The Tang army's bows and swords were unsheathed in the corners and on the palace walls. Even at the collapsed palace gate, there were already horses built with wooden stakes, ready for battle.
Fang Jun was wearing a bright armor that shone brightly in the sun. His unique breastplate was like two iron bras. At this moment, Zhuo stood at the main entrance of the Great Hall, looking through the collapsed palace door from the high steps. Facing the incoming coalition forces, he ordered in a deep voice: "Keep the enemy at bay. Do not allow the enemy to rush into the palace. However, all soldiers are not allowed to pursue even half a step. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed! In addition, the soldiers searching in the palace must speed up their progress!"< br>
"Here!"
The soldiers under his command received the order, and the general's order was quickly conveyed.
The Tang army, each strictly guarding the battlefield, was a little nervous at first. After all, when thousands of coalition forces launched an attack in a relatively small area, the momentum was quite scary. However, when the coalition forces appeared in sight, looking at the The "peasant army" wearing straw shoes, barefoot, in ragged clothes, and brandishing various weapons such as sticks, knives, and guns suddenly felt relieved.
How dare a mob like this dare to charge into our position?
I really don’t know how to write the word death...
Seventy steps.
The archer drew the bow and set the arrow, the string of the bow was like the full moon, and the arrow cluster rose thirty degrees.
Sixty steps.
"Let it go!"
"Bang!"
The uniform vibrating sound of the bowstring was like a muffled thunder, and hundreds of wolf-fang arrows shot out from the bowstring. They first flew into the sky above the heads of the coalition forces, and then fell due to gravity, drawing a perfect parabola, and plunged into the charge of the coalition forces. in the array.
After shooting the arrow, the archer didn't even look at the result in front of him. He bent down and took out the arrow from the arrow pot, nocked the bow and pointed it diagonally at the sky.
"Let it go!"
"Bang!"
Another round of projectiles.
Thanks to their hard training, hundreds of archers have always maintained order and uniformity in a unique rhythm, and the volleys fired round after round are like flowing clouds and flowing water.
The coalition army rushed from seventy steps to thirty steps. During this distance, the Tang army had already fired five rounds of arrows. Then the heavy infantry slowly stepped forward in order, with their sharp swords lined up in a line, ready for battle.
The arrows in the sky were like locusts, plunging into the coalition's battle formation. The coalition forces, which lacked protective gear and lacked experience in fighting, immediately suffered a big loss. Arrows like a rainstorm flew towards their heads. "Puff, puff, puff!" The muffled sound of arrows piercing flesh became one continuous sound, followed by heart-rending screams...
Even a few soldiers wearing leather armor could not withstand the arrows shot by the strong bows of the Tang army. The sharp triangular arrow clusters tore apart some obstacles and ruthlessly drove into their bodies. Some unlucky soldiers were even hit hard by the arrows. The shot was on target, and the powerful kinetic energy carried by the arrow caused the arrow cluster to penetrate the body and come out!
No matter how many volleys were fired, more than a thousand arrows almost failed in the face of the swarming coalition forces. Hundreds of soldiers fell to the ground like wheat harvested after autumn, wailing in pain, rolling and struggling, and the menacing charge suddenly became chaotic. At the end of the battle, morale was severely dampened.
The eyes of all the feudal generals supervising the battle were red, and they were speechless and speechless as if they were struck by thunder.
They had also faced off against the Tang army under Wang Xuance before, but due to the lack of strong bows, they were mostly in close combat. Although the Tang army was powerful and difficult to defeat, there was nothing like the scene in front of them where hundreds of people were killed and wounded by strong bows before even engaging in battle. Shocked?
This battle is impossible to fight!
However, if the arrow is on the string, it can't be fired. How can we retreat after everyone has rushed here?
The generals of each department drew their sabers and slashed at a dozen soldiers who were afraid of the enemy and retreated. They shouted: "Charge! Charge! When they got close, their strong bows were useless. There were only more than a thousand of them." , How can our tens of thousands of troops not win? If we don’t retreat, we will kill them all on the spot.”
The coalition forces had no choice but to step on the corpses of their companions and rush forward, praying to gods and Buddhas to prevent the Tang army's arrows from falling on their heads...
After rushing for about ten steps, I saw that the Tang army did not use the strong bow. It seemed that the strong bow was too close and had lost its effectiveness. I suddenly became more confident, waving my sword and roaring towards the low palace wall and the damaged palace. Door!
Facing the overwhelming offensive, the Tang army stood firm and motionless.
When the coalition forces rushed to the lower part of the palace wall, the people in front squatted in the corner, and the people behind stepped on the shoulders of their companions in an attempt to jump up the palace wall. Then they heard a burst of intensive drumming, and the Tang army in heavy armor waved their hands. With Li Xueliang's horizontal sword, he exhaled loudly and slashed hard at the Japanese who rushed in front of him!
"Kill!"
More than a thousand people stood on the wall and shouted in unison. The momentum frightened the Japanese people's hearts, but what made them even more desperate was the horizontal sword in the hands of the Tang army.
The Tang Army's standard horizontal knives are not only heavier, but also made of fine steel refined by a new type of steelmaking. Although they are not as good as the hundreds of steelmaking that have been tempered for thousands of times, they are sharper than the iron knives, iron guns and wooden sticks in the hands of the Japanese. Ten levels stronger!
Some Japanese were caught off guard and were slashed by the horizontal sword. They screamed and fell down the wall and hit their companions. Some reacted faster and waved their weapons to block the Tang army's horizontal sword. However, their weapons were often cut off directly and then they were killed with a single sword. In succession, blood sprayed, internal organs splattered...
Even in the age of cold weapons, better weapons are enough to make victory within easy reach. What's more, the quality of soldiers, weapons and equipment, and tactical strategies now have absolute advantages?
In a moment, a thick layer of corpses piled up under the palace wall, and blood was sprinkled all over the palace wall. The Tang soldiers standing on the wall were covered in blood like demons from hell, full of murderous intent!
The coalition forces came overwhelmingly like a raging wave, but they were torn apart as if they had hit a rock. Blood was flying everywhere, and their morale was completely shattered. They took two steps back in a daze, no matter how the generals supervising the battle behind them urged them, they could no longer do it. Don’t dare to step forward...
The general supervising the battle killed several soldiers who fled, but had to stop.
Facing the devil-like Tang army, the comparison of combat power is as different as clouds and mud. Even if they all rush forward, wouldn't it be a death?
Fortunately, the Tang army did not take the initiative to attack, otherwise the coalition forces would be shattered and demoralized at this moment, and they would probably be wiped out with a single charge...
The coalition forces were not stupid either. Seeing how powerful the Tang army was, how could they dare to attack? This is only half of the troops invested. If 3,000 people went into battle at the same time, I am afraid that I would be finished already! Several generals met to discuss it, and immediately led their troops to retreat and attack the back of Suga's position!
Anyway, looking at the posture, the Tang army just wanted to defend the palace and had no interest in chasing or anything. They would sneak attack Su Wo's soldiers, no matter what the result was, and then retreat.
Minta Soga was gloating over the misfortune, but who would have thought that when he saw the coalition forces rushing towards the palace with great momentum, he hit a head and was bleeding in the blink of an eye, and then he actually gave up on storming the palace and started to kill his own rear formation while screaming. Come...
Was there any mistake?
People in the Tang Dynasty are fierce, so just treat me as a soft persimmon and pinch them at will, right?
He was commanding his soldiers to resist the coalition forces in the front. He was caught off guard and quickly sent out troops to protect the back. Otherwise, he would be killed and thrown into the formation, and there would be no way to save him! But as a result, the situation was suddenly in chaos. It was already at a disadvantage, and it was even more embarrassed.
Fang Jun observed the situation from a high place and frowned slightly when he saw that Su Wo's family was under siege.
He did not want to see the destruction of the Suga family. A divided Japanese country was the most ideal state. A domination of one family was definitely not what he wanted to see. Otherwise, how could he exploit both sides and instigate the Japanese country to fall into successive wars, gradually consuming the few resources that were already there? vitality?
An exhausted Japanese nation, a Japanese nation that has shed all its blood, can be as obedient and docile as a sheep. No matter how Fang Jun transforms its economy, system, culture, etc., the so-called Yamato nation will eventually be assimilated, and the ancient gods will Taoism must be replaced by Buddhism. If you have nothing to do, just eat, eat, fast and chant the Buddha's name. Don't resort to Bushido cutting your belly and digging out your intestines. It is not environmentally friendly...
When a nation is stripped of its blood and its culture is eroded by the powerful Confucianism, what harm is there?
It's just that hundreds of soldiers are still rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the palace in search of possible emperor's treasures. If they attack boldly to save the Soga family's soldiers, the coalition forces will be defeated immediately. By then, the overall situation will be decided, and they will lose the chance to secretly embezzle the emperor's treasures. opportunity.
Fang Jun sighed, don't worry about it, he can clearly distinguish what is light and what is important. No matter how many treasures the emperor has, how can it compare to the overall situation of supporting the Suga family to split the Japanese country?
Besides, the so-called Emperor's Treasure is just my conjecture, and may not exist at all...(End of Chapter)
