Chapter 1873 Fierce Battle in the Royal City
Park's army actually charged towards the Tang army's array!
The Xi's army and Yangshan's troops on both wings, especially the latter, had already been shaken when the Tang army appeared, and they all wanted to withdraw from the battlefield to avoid the Tang army's attack, but now they saw Pu's army launching an attack on the Tang army without hesitation. Charging, he hesitated immediately.
The combat effectiveness of the Tang army is strong, just look at the quality of its soldiers and weapons and equipment. Both the Park family and the Xi family are opposition parties. Of course, the family maintains a large number of private soldiers, plus the descendants of the clan, slaves and servants. , the number of people seems to be large, but the equipment is extremely backward. Many people just carry wooden sticks and farm tools and rush into battle.
As one of the six tribes, the Yangshan tribe has been tasked with guarding the capital all year round. It has a direct army of thousands of people, equipped with the best equipment in Silla. The soldiers also fight with Baekje and Goguryeo all year round, and are of high quality. There is more than one thing that comes out of Park's family.
But in front of Tang Jun, that's all...
Seeing Pu's ferocious charge, Xi and Yangshan looked at each other, wondering whether they should cooperate or take the opportunity to retreat, allowing Pu to block the Tang army's front, and the Taoist friends would die but the poor Taoists would die.
When they heard the cry that Bitan had been shot to death by the Tang army, the Yangshan tribe became furious and decided that they could not hide. If they could hide for a while, how could they hide for the rest of their lives? Anyway, the Jin family has reached an agreement with the Tang people. If the Yangshan tribe rebels against the Jin family, they will definitely be hated by the other party. There will never be a good end in the future. Sooner or later, they will die, so it is better to fight!
So, the Yangshan tribe first assembled the army, followed closely behind!
As the Pu family's most loyal ally, the Xi family not only did not retreat when they saw Yang Shan's tribe, but rushed forward. After a slight hesitation, they rushed towards the Tang army! ,
On the contrary, the Jin army, which had abandoned its helmets and armor and was at the end of its war effort, just stood panting on the battlefield, staring dumbfounded at the enemy charging towards the Tang army in the distance, like a raging tide, moving forward inexorably!
The Tang army was like MT. As soon as it appeared on the scene, it attracted all the hatred of the Pu family, the Xi family, and the Yangshan tribe. The Jin family's army suddenly felt relaxed.
No one pays attention to them anymore...
Jin Yuxin leaned on the ground with the tip of his knife, gasping for air. He was glad that the Tang army arrived in time. If it had been just a moment late, the defense line might have been broken up, and the enemy would have rushed into the royal city by now.
"Remove those who are seriously injured, and the rest will follow me to guard the royal city, and the rebels cannot be allowed to invade the city!"
He immediately gave the order.
The current Jin army is completely on its last breath. It has neither the strength nor the willingness to go up to help the Tang army defend the enemy. For the time being, it will gather the army and rest for a while, and then look at the situation...
*****
Fang Jun was covered in armor and stood in the formation.
Looking at Park's army rushing towards them like a tidal wave in the distance, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Well done, I'm really afraid that you will be scared out of your wits and run away, which will inevitably cause trouble in the future...
After the first wave of arrows was fired, the crossbowman did not stop. He replaced the arrows quickly and unhurriedly according to the usual training rhythm. Following the captain's orders, he pulled the bow and crossbow strings to the full moon, and then released the bow strings together. , another wave of arrows rose into the sky, shooting at the enemy like locusts all over the sky.
It was like a dark cloud falling from the sky, covering most of the enemy.
The enemies in the distance seemed to have been cut by an invisible sickle during the charge, and they all fell down.
The enemy's tight charge formation had been scattered, but their morale had not collapsed. After a slight hesitation, they still came back in droves.
Fang Jun sighed. Such long-distance projectile coverage without any technical content really makes people unable to feel the beauty of war...
The Tang army's crossbows were really advantageous over all armies of this era.
Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, advanced crossbow technology has been the Central Plains dynasty's greatest reliance when facing barbarians. The Qin Dynasty's assembly-line arrow and crossbow production workshops continued to deliver high-quality arrows and crossbows to the frontline troops. This was the most advanced weapon in the world. Arrows and crossbows constitute the most powerful part of the Qin Dynasty's powerful military ceremony that swept across the world and cleared the world.
In the Han Dynasty, the outstanding individual qualities of the soldiers, the genius tactical command of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, and the ordnance that surpassed the times, created the great achievements of sealing the wolf to Juxu and conquering Shi Yanran, which made the Han Dynasty famous far and wide, and all the countries in the Western Regions All surrender! The Huns who controlled hundreds of thousands of strings fled thousands of miles away, hiding in the depths of the desert, licking their wounds and shivering. There is no royal court in Monan!
Since ancient times, the Han people's armaments have suppressed the entire world.
Until a certain "Great Emperor" who was highly praised in later generations put gunpowder technology on the shelf and called the upgrading of ordnance "odd techniques", believing that the once brave Eight Banners Cavalry could still rule the entire world...
Fang Jun stood in the battlefield, but his mind had already leapt thousands of miles away, returning to the gunfire station beside Kunming Pool outside Chang'an City, which was inconspicuous in the eyes of the world today.
The technology tree of the flintlock gun is not difficult to light up. The quality of the steel is enough to meet the requirements of the barrel. As long as a simple boring machine and milling machine can be manufactured, the flintlock gun can be mass-produced.
By then, the entire world's war model will undergo a complete change.
The era of queuing up to be shot will come a thousand years early!
When the Tang Dynasty had the musket and artillery manufacturing technology that crushed the entire world, and supplemented by its increasingly powerful national power, there was no longer any force that could resist the expansion of the Tang Dynasty!
Turks?
The kings who roamed the grasslands in the past had no choice but to move westward as long as they did not want to be exterminated by the Tang Dynasty!
Keep moving westward!
Go to the Seine River to herd horses, go to the Danube River to herd sheep, go to the Alps to open up pastures, use the scimitar and riding crop in your hand to go to that fertile land to plunder a field. Before the iron hooves of the Tang Dynasty entered there, the Turks could do whatever they wanted. living.
But one day, the Tang Dynasty will follow in the footsteps of the Turks and set foot on that land!
That will be a revenge from another time and space!
My ancestors suffered humiliation and suffering in the last life. In this life, I will pay back tenfold!
The shout in his ears brought Fang Jun back to reality from his thoughts.
There was nothing he could do, the enemy was too weak, and he was actually distracted even on the battlefield...
On the battlefield, the Tang army was as safe as a mountain, and waves of arrows rained like locusts all over the sky, harvesting the lives of the enemy wantonly! The enemies still rushed forward one after another, but their steps were still hesitant. Under the light of the torch, Fang Jun's sharp eyes could even see the dissatisfied and fearful faces, as well as pairs of confused eyes...
No team can maintain their morale under such a huge blow.
Of course, the army armed with red ideas in later generations does not count...
The enemy was getting closer and closer. Instead of panicking at all, the Tang army was in high spirits, licking their lips and full of fighting spirit!
In Tang Jun's view, what is the ability of long-range strikes?
On the battlefield in the battle formation, you have to cut down the enemy to the ground with one knife and one shot, stabbing your heart to death, and then cut off the head and ears to count your merits. That is the real good man!
He was shot dead by a hail of arrows, and then he went up to cut off the head and ears from the dead body. How is that any different from picking it up for free?
What a man wouldn’t do!
But no matter how angry I am, I am also helpless. The navy's training manual clearly states a variety of battle formation methods. These include long-range arrows and crossbows, which are the most basic means of killing the enemy's physical strength and destroying the enemy's morale. No one has the guts to violate tactics!
Ignoring the tactics laid out in the code of conduct, instead of striking the enemy from a distance first, they rush up to them in a swarm?
No one dares to do this.
According to naval discipline, the life of any soldier is incomparable. The victory of the war cannot be won by sacrificing the lives of soldiers. Generals do not ignore the lives of soldiers, even if it is because of wrong tactics that lead to unnecessary sacrifices of soldiers, they will be defeated after the war. Will be strictly scrutinized by the Military Justice Department!
If the circumstances are serious, it is possible to directly behead the capital...
The distance between the enemy and the enemy gradually narrowed, and the power of the crossbow was greatly reduced. The crossbowman silently placed the crossbow on his body, and then drew out the horizontal sword. They are a long-range unit and will not charge at the forefront, but they do not lack the ability to protect themselves. Once the troops are in close combat, they can also protect the flanks of the military formation and build a solid rear defense with the rear troops directly under the commander's command.
The main soldiers on the flanks were holding swords and halberds, switching positions with the crossbowmen, and standing behind the sword and shield soldiers.
The sword and shield soldiers in the front row did not move, but held the shield in one hand, turned slightly to the side, pressed their shoulders against the shield, and silently pulled out the horizontal sword with the other hand.
The enemy will arrive in an instant.
The sound of fighting soaring into the sky mixed with the chaotic footsteps, carrying the smell of fresh blood, rushing toward them.
"Boom!"
Park's army slammed into the array of sword and shield soldiers. (End of chapter)
