Chapter 286 In front of Kowloon Gate
Entering the inner city from the Pingcheng Gate, military dogs searched for corpses and collected wounded soldiers along the way. The gate of the Nangong Palace was opened, and there were shouts of killing in the palace. Liu Cang led his troops to search for the sound and went straight to Jiulong Gate.
The battle was intense in front of the Jiulong Gate. Zhang Feng led one battalion of assistants and two battalions led by Yuan Shu and Chun Yuqiong were facing each other within a hundred meters.
The general immediately took up the formation, and the soldiers on both sides were less than five meters apart. The soldiers were densely packed, with long spears, long swords and thorns like a forest of needles, and the crackling of the soldiers was very lively.
At first glance it seems like a joke, but at the same time it is full of dangers of death.
A forest of guns versus a forest of guns, a conventional infantry group confrontation and a cavalry charge are completely different concepts. The two sides line up like a forest, stabbing and slashing, confronting and pushing, and the soldiers on both sides usually move forward and retreat within a range of more than ten meters.
If the action range exceeds this distance, it probably means that one side is about to be defeated and massacred.
Compared to his early years, Zhang Feng now has a somewhat more aggressive general attitude. He immediately stood behind the formation with cruelty and anxiety on his face.
The first battalion of Zhang Feng's assistant army can barely be regarded as elite troops, better than Chunyu Qiong's right army and worse than Yuan Shu's forbidden army.
Moreover, the opponent's troops were obviously more powerful than Zhang Feng's, and people gathered from time to time.
However, Zhang Feng's army was able to withstand the opponent's fight, but because Zhang Feng's side had stronger weapons.
Chunyu Qiong's army had almost no armor, Yuan Shu's army had hundreds of armored tigers, and Zhang Feng's army had thousands of armor, and the rest of the armored men were mostly equipped with shields and short spears.
The shouts of killing resounded through the palace, and amid the roar of the chariots, Yuan Shu's expressions changed in shock, and Zhang Feng's face, which was rarely stubborn, showed a somewhat surprised look of joy.
[To be honest, I have been using the Huanyuan app recently to read and catch up on updates. It allows me to switch between sources and read aloud with many sounds. .huanyuanapp is available for Android and Apple.]
"Boom~~Boom~~~" The chariots rushed across, and four chariots rushed between the two armies.
"Ah~~"
"Back~~Back~"
The chariots were like breaking through the waves, separating the two armies who were fighting fiercely.
The wheels crushed and screamed, and the Tianlu female soldier in the car, who was armed to the teeth, took off the fighting gun from the car, placed the fighting gun outside the car, and used the power of the tank to rush in, cutting and blocking people along the way.
The purpose of the chariot was obviously to separate the two armies, but the weapons on the chariot were basically pointing in the direction of Yuan Shu. The soldiers who had no time to retreat were cut down and injured.
When Yuan Shu's eyes were about to burst, Liu Cang's rear army with hundreds of troops and chariots were lined up to attack, and Yuan Shu couldn't help but give the order to retreat.
Rich, really rich on horseback, all members were equipped with plate armor, and some were equipped with assault cavalry. Yuan Shu twitched the corners of his eyes.
It is not unreasonable to say that the defensive effect of this plate armor is higher than that of Chinese armor in later generations. At least in the melee of middle and low-level soldiers, this plate armor that cannot be cut to pieces or penetrated is indeed a deterrent.
Unfortunately, the cost of this thing is higher than that of General Armor. It seems bulky, but it is extremely troublesome to build. The high cost makes it almost impossible to equip soldiers.
But in high-level battles, this thing cannot withstand disasters. The material needs to be malleable. As a result, more than half of the area may be deformed by force and may affect its own movement. At that time, the original armor will become its own constraints.
, which is somewhat tasteless in Liu Cang's eyes.
However, when Tianlu's army arrived, not to mention the combat strength of Tianlu's camp, all the soldiers present were troubled: 'There is no crossbow in front of the Jiade Hall, these tough guys can't beat them.'
"King Dongping is here! All armies stop fighting!" Dafu galloped on his horse, accompanied by ten dozen of his cavalry. After rushing to charge the chariots, they went back and forth between the two armies and immediately shouted loudly.
"Xiu Niang~" Zhang Feng seemed to be happy and surprised, calling to Zhang Xiu Niang who was galloping towards him.
"Liu Haoxuan! You want to help the traitor Huan Hu!" Yuan Shu angrily scolded.
"Tianlu rescues and treats the wounded! Anyone who faces you with a sword is an enemy!" Liu Cang ignored Yuan Shu, and the Tianlu battalion led the troops on horseback and shouted loudly, holding the sword and preparing to come out.
Before the shouting stopped, the female soldiers got off the car one after another, holding short hammers and golden melons, and with clanging iron armor, they lined up and stepped between the two armies.
A battalion of soldiers with a completely different painting style from the Han Dynasty seemed to be in a confrontation with the Han army. Even Liu Cang felt that he had gone to the wrong set.
Yuan Shu wanted to scold him, but looking at the wounded soldiers carried in various directions on the chariots, dozens of chariots were just like corpse trucks, Yuan Shu couldn't scold him.
The two armies retreated again, leaving a gap of 100 meters, leaving behind a large number of injured and fallen soldiers, either dead or wounded, all of whom were unable to get up.
The female soldier waited and watched with a hammer, and saw that the soldiers on both sides had no intention of rushing into battle. Then she hung the hammer on her waist and dragged all the fallen soldiers away from the place where the two armies were fighting amidst the clanging sound of armor.
Hundreds of soldiers were dragged aside and placed in an open space, groaning and screaming.
"Save people!" Following the command from the female soldiers, the Tianlu female soldiers took off their gauntlets one after another.
Drinking wine, acupuncture, bone setting and massage, two hundred troops led by heavy armored cavalry rushed around the perimeter with knives to guard against enemy attacks, but they ignored Yuan Shu and Zhang Feng and the two armies were facing each other.
After Liu Cang struggled a lot, and then looked at the shocking scene of large-scale treatment of the wounded, the fighting spirit of the soldiers on both sides was greatly reduced.
After all, they were all Luoyang soldiers. At this time, the two sides were fighting to the death, but perhaps before the deadly fight, there were many people on both sides who would get together and drink together on weekdays.
The soldiers lacked fighting spirit, and the generals, including Yuan Shu, no longer dared to scold Liu Cang.
Yuan Shu yelled in his heart: Ma De, this animal is really immoral. Who dares to scold him at this time? Even if it is not good, it will attract public anger.
Tianlu camp has a huge range of combat power, Dafu, not counting the four pictures. They are super-standard, black light mysterious armor, face-covering armed, they don't belong to Tianlu at first glance.
The two hundred team leaders are adapted to fighting, and often practice martial arts with Cai Yan. Their physical attributes can enter the Yulin Cavalry sequence, and they are all capable of rushing into formations.
The remaining riders should mostly choose those who are good at riding and have good physical fitness. They can be called fierce soldiers. They can act as soldiers in times of trouble and can dismount as wounded healers in busy times.
As for the remaining Warhammer Tianlu, the average physique is about 60, and with the plate armor, the physique needs to be strengthened. They can barely join the ranks of combat soldiers in the regular army, but among Liu Cang's forces, they are relatively pure medical soldiers.
If you don't learn martial arts, fighting in a formation is also a matter of coordination. Banging the war hammer is simple and direct, and the attack is not light.
The palace's cries of death and help came from all directions, but it was still difficult to identify the direction. Liu Cang frowned.
"Fight, you fight yourselves. Tianlu Camp is not allowed to kill you. As long as you are not dead, Tianlu Camp will do its best to treat you." It was quiet in front of the Kowloon Gate. Liu Cang glanced at Yuan Shu's horse with an indistinguishable face hanging around its neck.
Head, said to the soldiers on both sides.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Fight? Why don't you fight? Look at your potential." Both sides were silent, Liu Cang didn't bother to drink anymore, the soldiers lowered their heads, and the general frowned.
"Liu Haoxuan, the general was killed by the eunuchs! We will avenge the general. Zhang Feng is Zhang Rang's brother. At this time, he wants to lead troops into the palace, but we are blocking him. He wants to rush in, and the war is all caused by him." Chunyu
Qiong shouted loudly, and there was no shortage of support from Yuan Shu's side.
"Who burned the Nine Dragon Gate?" Ignoring Chun Yuqiong, the Nine Dragon Gate with three pillars and nine dragons had been burnt black. Liu Cang looked at the palace gate that was still smoking black and asked loudly.
"Someone is burning, the eunuchs control the palace gates, and there is cholera in the palace, and someone is burning fire and destroying it, what do you think?" Liu Cang was strong, and Yuan Shu could not weaken his morale even if he was in the army, so he stiffened his neck and responded to Liu Cang.
"Huh, I don't know how to place crossbow boxes and crossbows on the Nine Dragon Gate." Liu Cang muttered softly. Obviously, this is where court meetings are often held and where the Queen Mother often spends time. There is no reason to place a violent weapon.
"The Jiade Gate in Kowloon will be burned if you say so. Even if there is a reason, this gate will be repaired and rebuilt, and you, the Yuan family in Runan, will be remembered. Do you have any objections?" Liu Cang said coldly, holding a halberd.
"..." Yuan Shu was silent, as if something was wrong, but he didn't seem to have anything to say back. In other words, how big of a heart does it take to consider repairing the door at this time?
"Haoxuan! They killed the chariot general He Miao! Yuan Shao has led people to kill the eunuchs in the palace, you..." Zhang Feng raised his voice from a distance. At least he knew that some things should not be said carelessly. Halfway through, he looked anxious but did not continue.
Rhetoric.
Liu Cang frowned and looked at how proud Yuan Shu and his party were, and felt that they were stupid.
Dong Zhuo was not yet a rioter, and he could still laugh when he privately killed a Han chariot general. Unless he had the intention to rebel and establish the country, don't worry about the family behind him. Normally, the royal family would sooner or later take the lives of these people.
"Where is Guang Luxun!?" Liu Cang shouted, the surroundings were silent for a short time, and Yuan Shu's expression changed instantly.
"Where is Guang Luxun?" Liu Cang asked again, but still no one answered. Just as Yuan Shu was about to speak, Liu Cang's angry shouts were heard.
"Without Guang Luxun's orders, Yuan Shao from Runan secretly sent troops to the palace. His crime should be punished!"
"I, Liu Cang, King of Dongping, in the name of the clan, ordered you and others to follow a certain person into the palace to put an end to the chaos. Do you have any objections?" Liu Cang's voice shocked the palace.
"Here!" Zhang Feng's men all responded in unison. On Yuan Shu's side, many people looked around in confusion.
"Zhang Xiu Niang! Lead Tianlu to search the palace and treat the wounded." Liu Cang ordered again.
"Here!" Zhang Xiu Niang responded.
"You will follow me into the palace, and I won't be held responsible for those who surrender." Liu Cang ordered the soldiers, and Yuan Shu looked slightly better.
"Yongxiang is the boundary. Anyone who invades the harem will be punished! Kill without mercy!" Liu Cang said again, Yuan Shu was shocked.
"Liu Haoxuan! You..."
"We have been ordered to punish thieves, and the order is in the hands of the Taifu. You must not kill indiscriminately!" Yuan Shu shouted urgently.
"Haha, Yuan Wei? Okay, it's best to obey the imperial edict. Since the Yuan family in Runan said that he obeyed the imperial edict, is he the one who takes the lead this time?" Liu Cang laughed angrily, and Yuan Shu's expression changed greatly.
"Yuan Gongdao, if you make any false claims, the Yuan family in Runan will punish everyone." Liu Cangji pointed at Yuan Shu. There were many people with different looks around Yuan Shu.
"Follow me to the palace, and take the title of Grand Tutor Yuan Kui to serve as the imperial edict!" Liu Cang raised his voice to all the soldiers.
"You..." Yuan Shu was speechless, with madness flashing in his eyes.
"Young Master!" Chunyu Qiong whispered in Yuan Shu's ear. Yuan Shu was clever and suppressed the confusion in his heart.
"Humph..." Yuan Shu snorted coldly and stopped talking to Liu Cang. Although there was panic in his eyes, he hurriedly whispered something to the people around him.
