Chapter 415: The Attack of the Halberd Warriors!
On the other side of the coalition, a mighty heavy infantry corps - the Halberd Corps - was marching with firm steps, leading tens of thousands of Cangzhou troops behind them, and marching towards the battlefield where the coalition was located.
The Halberd Warriors, protected by heavy armor and holding giant halberds, are like a mobile steel fortress.
The armor is thick and solid, and it sparkles with a cold metallic luster in the sun, as if a group of war gods from ancient times, stepping on the dust of history and returning to the world.
Tens of thousands of Cangzhou troops followed closely behind. The marching troops were in unison and the footsteps were deafening, as if it was a passionate war song echoing over the battlefield.
Not far from the coalition forces, the Halberd Corps stopped.
They formed a battle formation with huge halberds standing in rows, like a steel forest, exuding a suffocating murderous aura.
Tens of thousands of Cangzhou troops also quickly formed up behind them, preparing for the upcoming battle.
Behind the mighty corps of Halberd Soldiers and Cangzhou Infantry, in the flying dust, two cavalry corps were hanging far behind them.
It was the Taoist soldiers summoned by Su Yexin - the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!
And the White Horse Volunteers who were rushing over from the other side.
These two cavalry units, one heavy and one light, both exude a suffocating sense of oppression.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are like the tigers and cheetahs in the mountains and forests, agile and ferocious.
The Tiger Cavalry heavy cavalry were fully armored, with both the man and the horse wrapped in thick iron armor, like a moving steel fortress.
The war horses are also carefully selected, with strong bodies, able to bear the weight of heavily armored knights and heavy equipment, and are unstoppable when charging.
The Leopard Light Cavalry, on the other hand, places more emphasis on speed and flexibility. Wearing light armor and carrying spears or bows and arrows, they are able to move quickly on the battlefield and deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.
On the other side, the White Horse Volunteers, all riding white horses and wearing white armor, with silver saddles shining on their white horses, galloping like meteors.
The war horses they rode were all carefully selected white horses, and the knights were dressed in white armor and held spears or swords.
In the sunlight, the white armor on their bodies shone brightly, as if they were a group of heavenly soldiers.
The presence of these two cavalry teams undoubtedly added a murderous atmosphere to the entire battlefield.
Their arrival made the already fierce battlefield even more turbulent.
The heaviness of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the agility of the White Horse Volunteers are intertwined to form a unique battlefield aesthetic.
As they approached, the atmosphere on the battlefield became more tense.
Under Su Ye's order, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the White Horse Volunteers did not immediately join the battle, but cruised around the periphery of the battlefield.
"Drum roll, march!"
The sound of drums rang out like thunder, echoing across the vast battlefield.
"The Halberd Corps, never retreat!"
At this time, behind the Halberd Soldiers, the heavy infantry corps at the forefront of the Cangzhou Army, a middle-aged general with slightly graying temples was standing in front of the Cangzhou Army. He was none other than Lian Po, one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, whom Su Ye had just entrusted with an important task.
Lian Po's voice was like cold stone, firm and decisive.
He stood in front of the formation, his white hair fluttering in the wind, making him look even more majestic.
Holding the command flag tightly in his hand, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, staring at the halberd warriors in front of him.
"Halberd warriors! Go!"
Then, Zhang He, the commander in front of the Halberd Soldiers Corps, took off the visor on his helmet, holding a halberd of the same model as the ones used by the Halberd Soldiers in his hand, and pointed it forward.
Following Zhang He's order, the heavy infantry corps charged forward unstoppably like a released beast.
Bang bang! The heavy footsteps sounded like thunder, and the mighty heavy infantry corps - the Halberd Soldiers marched forward brazenly.
Their steps were heavy and powerful, as if every step could make the earth tremble.
The halberds made of fine iron fluttered in their hands, flashing cold light, pointing directly at the Yellow Turban Army opposite!
"put!"
Faced with the heavy infantry corps that were pressing forward like a cluster of steel, the Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side did not sit idly by and wait for death.
Following several commands.
Countless extraordinary war machines in the Yellow Turban Army were launched brazenly!
The "Wind and Cloud Wheel" roared out. It was a huge flywheel with an edge as sharp as a knife. It spun and flew towards the Halberd Corps.
The flywheel drew silver arcs in the air, as if to cut through all obstacles.
The halberd warriors quickly formed a defensive formation, using their fine iron halberds to form an indestructible barrier to resist the flywheel's fierce attack.
At the same time, the "Pojun Crossbow" also launched an attack.
Each crossbow cart has three giant crossbow arrows as big as heavy spears. The crossbow arrows shot from this kind of crossbow cart can penetrate the strongest armor and have extremely strong breaking ability.
Each crossbow cart is operated by several strong men. Once launched, it is as powerful as thunder.
The crossbow arrow was shot out with a sharp sound of breaking through the wind, aiming directly at the heart of the Halberd Corps.
Afterwards, some crossbowmen wearing special leather armor also took out the "Lianyun Crossbow" from their backs, and countless arrows, which were relatively small compared to the giant crossbows, were shot at the Halberd Corps like a torrential rain.
The sound of arrows firing was as dense as raindrops, and the sound of arrows breaking through the air was sharp and piercing, as if tearing the air apart.
"Raise your shield, guard!"
Following Zhang He's loud shout, the two rows of halberd warriors in the front responded quickly.
They all took out a heavy iron shield from their backs. These iron shields were thick and solid, and were polished black and shiny by time and war.
Immediately afterwards, the two halberd warriors in front and behind quickly cooperated and skillfully combined the heavy iron shields in their hands.
With waves of powerful metal collision sounds, giant iron shields stood tall in front of the legion.
In an instant, giant iron shields were erected in front of the Halberd Corps, standing like a steel wall.
These iron shields are not only thick, but also made with special craftsmanship, with various bumps and patterns on the surface to increase defensive power.
Under the sunlight, these iron shields flashed a cold light and appeared indestructible.
Although the Yellow Turban Army's extraordinary war equipment was extremely powerful, it seemed to have encountered an insurmountable barrier at this moment.
The flywheel "Wind and Cloud Wheel" came roaring and hit the giant iron shield, making a deafening metal collision sound.
However, these iron shields did not move at all, as if not even a scratch was left.
At the same time, giant crossbow arrows shot from the "Pojun Crossbow" also attacked one after another.
These crossbow arrows are incredibly powerful and can easily penetrate ordinary armor, but they are also a bit at a loss when facing these rock-solid iron shields.
The crossbow arrow hit the iron shield, causing the halberd warrior's giant shield to shake slightly.
However, with the support of several rows of halberd warriors in the rear, even though the giant iron shield in the front was shaking from being hit by the giant crossbow arrows, it still stood firm and bounced off the already powerless giant crossbow arrows.
Not to mention those tiny arrows that were like a torrential rain. When they were shot towards the Halberd Legion, they were all blocked one by one by these giant iron shields.
The arrows hit the iron shield like raindrops falling on the lake, causing only ripples but unable to penetrate the solid line of defense.
Across the battlefield, the Halberd Warriors were like a black steel torrent, advancing steadily forward under the protection of giant iron shields.
