Chapter 4202 Dividing the Battle Line
The large-scale shield guard raised his shield with one hand and rushed forward with the rain of arrows from Kushan, which made Altay's head hurt.
"Trailing car!" However, such a charge did not require Altay to command. The front-line generals and schools in Kushan had already started to counterattack. After all, both sides had been fighting for many years, and they had seen large-scale shield guards many times. They dare not say that they were used to it, and they were indeed not under much pressure.
"Chirp~" The roar was accompanied by a sharp sound, throwing dozens of kilograms of stones towards the direction of the Han army's front. The Han army shield guards in the rear also picked up medium-sized crossbows to fight back in the direction of the catapult cart. The frontal battlefield even became extremely cruel before they could even fight.
"Run!" Lu Bu took the lead and rushed directly to the small stronghold built by Kushan based on bunkers, jumped over the horse's horse and swept across, and directly killed the Kushan soldiers who were unable to react. But then Lu Bu faced short spears and arrows shot from all directions.
Lu Bu's face was cold and slashed his halberd. While killing the Kushan soldiers surrounding him, he directly pushed away all the arrows and short spears that were shooting at him.
Such an amazing scene directly made the Kushan Centurion stationed in the bunker numb and decisively ordered the rapid retreat based on the piles of soil and trenches accumulated in the center of the stronghold. This is not a normal enemy that can be dealt with. Not only will it not solve any problem when rushing up, it will also waste the soldiers and retreat!
Seeing this, the personal guards behind Lu Bu rushed forward, but after chasing the mound, he saw that he had successfully bite the other party. The Kushan soldiers who were prepared had pulled the rope hard. The boards laid on the pit were severely impacted. The boards that were not very thick were broken on the spot when facing the weight of several shield guards.
The guards who rushed to the front stepped on the air and fell directly into the pit.
Five or six muffled sounds in succession, Lu Bu's face turned blue, not because of how powerful the wooden spears in the pit were. In fact, even if the wooden spears in the pit were used for strengthening warmth, they were actually useless against the armor of the shield guards.
The thick-skinned shield guards directly hit the vertical wooden spear, and the wooden spear will not penetrate the armor. However, if they cannot penetrate the armor, it does not mean that there is no harm. On the contrary, the shield guards that fall down will basically lose their combat effectiveness in a short period of time.
The self-weight of the shield guards is too heavy for ordinary soldiers. They fell down a pit about three meters unconsciously and were pushed by a wooden spear. Each of them is comparable to being stabbed at high speed by a heavy gun. Moreover, some unlucky shield guards fell at the bottom. They were not only stabbed by the wooden spear, but also were hit hard by their comrades with a weight of nearly 400 kilograms. In this case, at least they were internally injured.
"The others follow me!" There was no need for Lu Bu to greet him. The soldiers who were first aided rushed down and found a way to carry the injured Shield Guard away together. To be honest, in this case, it was quite difficult for the soldiers who were first aided, because the injured Shield Guards were all internally injured and it was difficult to carry them back.
"The front offensive has been curbed, and Altay's trench tunnel defense war is indeed very good. Moreover, the scattered mounds and bunkers make it inevitable that we will continue to divide our troops when we advance." Liu Bei said with a little emotion. He was also watching the advancement of the Han army, but it was obvious that the speed could not be increased.
"His combat ideas are completely different from those of the previous generals and officers. The shield guard's crossbow shooting has little significance to him." Guan Yu said calmly.
Each of the mounds larger and higher than the tombs, with the strengthening of the supermodel cloud, basically have the defense of conventional rocks. These mounds are arranged in an orderly manner, causing the shield and guard crossbow machines to shoot flat, and inevitably hit the mounds. It is difficult to penetrate several times the damage in one shot like before.
At present, Altay's front basically engages in attributive wars around mounds, bunkers, horse-rejecting horses, trenches, chariots and Han army. Due to the degree of sealing these things, although the Han army and Kushan were engaged in large-scale engagement, the engagement units were small and scattered, and it was difficult for the two teams to support each other.
Although it is only a few meters away from the land bunker, or is blocked in half by the pattern of the Remaga bunker, both sides can vaguely see it, but if you want to intersperse and cover each other like before, it will inevitably take some time in this case, which makes it difficult for each small and medium-sized unit to support it.
To be honest, if the Han army was still in its previous mode, fighting a war comparable to urban combat would be progressing steadily, not to mention that it would be better if it did not lose. After all, under this combat method, the defenders have their own solid bunkers, the terrain is extremely complex, and they are familiar with the local situation. It would be better to fight.
In fact, if it weren't for the plains between the Ganges and Yamuna Rivers, it would be easy to dig out water, Altay would have added several underground passages to such complex fronts such as trenches, gullies, bunkers, mounds, horse-resisted chariots, so that the Han army could recapture the position that had just been penetrated and quickly divide the Han army's front.
It can be said that in the collapsed terrain of Beigui, Altay really summarized a set of effective special defense tactics. At least when Guan Yu encountered this tactic for the first time, he was really a little numb.
However, while the defense of this complex terrain has huge advantages, it is inevitable that it will encounter an unavoidable disadvantage, that is, this terrain is only suitable for small-scale combat, and once the offensive side can fight a small-scale combat, the defense can only lie flat.
Simply put, it is during urban offensive and defensive battles. Due to the city streets and lanes, the buildings are tall, strong, dense, and the underground engineering facilities are complex, the defense party has an understanding of the terrain. When it is difficult to use heavy weapons, it is difficult to advance the offensive and defensive use of light weapons.
But in this case, if the attacking party dispatches an exoskeleton armored legion, and it can ignore light weapons, it is a dimensionality reduction attack.
Altay faced this situation. Before, the shield guard had to split half of the soldiers to suppress the crossbow machine, but entering this complex mound terrain led to a significant reduction in the effect of the crossbow machine and shield guard. Guan Yu immediately decided to give up the crossbow machine and suppress the shield guard, allowing the shield guard to restore the conventional tactics.
So a large number of shield guards entered the complex bunker terrain to fight against the Kushan terrain. When they entered this terrain, the Kushan terrain was also destroyed. The two sides could only fight a small-scale strangle battle in this complex terrain based on their strength.
How to say, there must be Kushan soldiers who can beat 180 shield guards in this terrain, but there is no Kushan army that can generally curb shield guards. In this situation, it is basically equivalent to violent crushing of warriors wearing exoskeleton armor.
More importantly, there are no such things as catapults and crossbows that distract the Shield Guard. Shield Guard only needs to consider the opponents in front. As for the complex terrain, our side is divided into small units, hahahaha, the opposite side is also small units, who is afraid of whom!
In this case, 160 shield guards may also fail. In this case, one of our soldiers will resist you five, so that the other four will output without any problem!
The entire complex terrain has the greatest impact on the shield guards and the strongest killing is not the Kushan soldiers, but the complex terrain built by Altay, especially the pits. Whether the ground stab or not has no effect on the shield guards. Anyway, no matter how long your wooden spear is warmed, unless the internal energy is left to warm it away, you will definitely not be able to penetrate the shield guards' armor. The biggest enemy of the shield guards is actually yourself and your comrades.
Once you step on the pit and fall down with your teammates, you will definitely lose your combat effectiveness. It is not surprising that a few ribs at the bottom are broken. Mu Yan used Li He as a weapon to kill Helan, whose internal energy was removed, which shows how brutal the heavy blow of the super heavy weapon is.
"This kind of environment is really suitable for me." Zhao Ying rushed forward with a broad sword, and the excitement on his face was unconcealed. He could reach the 12th level title today, which is the mid-range. He could think that he still had the chance to kill hundreds of people on the battlefield alone.
When he was following Zhang Fei to fight Macrinus on the plain, four shadow soldiers were killed by the heavy armor-breaking arrows of Xixuya's army. Zhao Ying felt that today was probably going to be carried back. As the Roman barbarians retreated and entered the carefully crafted defense zone of Altay, Zhao Ying felt that it was like going home. This defense zone was too suitable for him.
Because of the complex terrain created by man, it is forced to be divided into small units after the army enters, and after each Han army unit enters the Kushan defense line, it will be further cut. This is the core of urban defense warfare, that is, to divide the opponents based on complex terrain.
Just like the 80km x 80km war zone on the plain, it is actually quite good to defend 20,000 to 30,000 people, but if it is a big city, you can't tell at all that 20,000 to 30,000 people enter. This is actually a man-made division of complex terrain.
In this case, many times, friends are actually only separated by a few walls, or you are on this road and I am on another road, but when you meet an opponent, it is actually difficult to help. Even after the opponent has finished fighting, you have not come from the other side.
Therefore, this kind of battlefield attaches great importance to the strength of the small detachment, and what makes Zhao Ying outrageous is that he himself is a established Qi Training and Chenggang Detachment.
Of course, Zhao Ying fought very smoothly from the beginning. With a few subordinates, under the cover of his two shadow soldiers, under the battlefield cutting, he faced only a fragmented small detachment, with at most less than ten people. Therefore, after rushing and killing, Zhao Ying had already piled up hundreds of kills.
However, compared to Zhao Ying's success, problems gradually arose in other parts of the Han army. Complex terrain and small detachment combat are indeed the advantages of shield guards, but how could Altay not know this? He prepared a secret guard hunting regiment early, and targeted the Han army's single elites and the scattered shield guards with a scale of five.
Many scattered shield guards were strangled by the hunting group of the Kushan five-man secret guards before they could react. Of course, there were also many Kushan secret guards who failed to select their opponents based on their superior terrain and were counterattacked by the Han army's shield guards. However, such a front-line cutting and targeted attack were indeed quickly killed a group of shield guards who had changed their clothes.
"Order the brothers to gather!" Mu Yan touched the incision on his neck, and his flesh collapsed, and he almost killed him. He looked at the Kushan Secret Guards falling around him, and even felt a hint of fear in his eyes, but he suppressed this fear in an instant and ordered the shield guards to gather.
However, it is not so easy to gather soldiers in such places. It took some time from Mu Yan's order to the soldiers receiving the order. When the soldiers gathered, they found that there were many camp walls, mounds, bunkers, and horses that were to be surrounded, and they could not gather quickly.
"Bi Laoliu, go and notify the general." Ma Yun covered the wound on his chest and called out to Bi Laoliu, "Let the general transfer elite veterans into it. This kind of defense line will suffer too much. Even if the shield guards fall into an ambush, they will die. Our exchange ratio is decreasing significantly."
There is no way to command this kind of battlefield in the rear, and it can only be used to fight on the front line and the strength of individual soldiers. The so-called urban combat is called "a battle decided by the squad leader" and "a battle of the real brave man" in later generations.
Because this kind of battle is about small-scale independent combat capabilities and reaction capabilities, the Han army actually has little advantage over the Kushan in this regard. As for the professional hunting legions, both the Han army and the Kushan army are all, and the elite veterans of the Han army and the gods and Buddhas of Nangui are integrated with each other.
Relying on the defense of the shield guards, the Han army had an absolute advantage in exchange ratio. At least, the Han army's shield guards, in a group of five people, even if they face the conventional secret guard hunting team of Kushan, there is no possibility of counterattack.
But the advantage has fallen to this level, which is actually enough to show that the Han army has fallen into the plot.
"So many secret guards have been eliminated?" When the elite Han army gave feedback to Guan Yu, Altay, who had made detailed structures when forming the defense line, had already received feedback from his subordinates first, but looking at the reported data, Altay's expression became much more cautious.
"Even if the talent of the shield guard is analyzed in a targeted manner and a professional hunting team has been established, it still cannot achieve the effect. Even the secret guards are hunting alone shield guards, they may fall into trouble." Segerdi replied with a cautious expression.
"We have invested so much in the secret guards, and even dissociated the gods and Buddhas, and gave them the secret techniques for shield guards. That's it?" Altay asked with a frown and frown. "The cost of secret guards is so high that a soldier who is more capable of building a shield guard, but it is still aimed at shield guards, but it cannot achieve the effect. So what is the significance of building a secret guard?"
"Reducing the investment and loss of troops and investing ten soldiers may defeat a shield guard, but seven or eight may be lost in this process, but the exchange is much better than the secret guards." Segerdi said concisely, "Three or four secret guards fight one shield guard. In this scattered front, there is no big problem. As for the investment cost, it will also decrease with the investment investment."
Altay's expression was slightly better when he heard this. Since the investment in technology development decreased, that's good. If it really costs high and there is no high output, why don't you do it? Change other ideas as soon as possible.
