Chapter 416 Head-on collision!
The Wind and Cloud Wheel spun in the air, like lightning streaking across the sky, but it was to no avail.
On the battlefield, the Yellow Turban Army's weapon attacks became increasingly fierce, but the Halberd Corps was like a reef in the sea, standing firm no matter how strong the wind and waves were.
At this moment, the Halberd Warriors Legion was like a group of giants wearing heavy armor, holding fine iron halberds, with indestructible giant iron shields in front of them. No matter what kind of attack they faced, they seemed calm.
Under the cover of giant iron shields, they continued to approach the Yellow Turban Army's position.
At this time, many Taiping Sect members on the opposite side of the formation saw the heavy infantry corps - the Halberd Soldiers advancing steadily like a black steel torrent, and a trace of solemnity flashed in their eyes.
The continuous attacks of the Pojun Crossbow and the Fengyun Wheel seemed a bit helpless under the defense of the giant iron shield. They had to quickly adjust their tactics to deal with this indestructible line of defense.
"Pass the order down, go to the camp and prepare first!"
"Also, push out all the Thunder Chariots in the formation!"
The Yellow Turban Army's leader stood on a high place, overlooking the entire battle situation. He took a deep breath and gave orders in a deep voice.
The "Thunder Chariot" is equipped with sharp blades and powerful impact devices on its body, which can rampage on the battlefield and destroy the enemy's battle formation.
Following the general's order, there was a bustle in the Yellow Turban Army's position.
A team of agile soldiers quickly shuttled through the battle formation, holding specially made fine ropes and claw blades with barbs. These were instruments that most siege armies would prepare, but now they had become special equipment to deal with the iron shield defense line of the halberd warriors.
Their goal was clear - to use these tools to climb over the giant iron shields and directly attack the halberd warriors in the rear.
At the same time, another team of soldiers quickly launched several peculiarly shaped chariots.
These chariots were equipped with huge mechanical wheels carefully developed by the Mohists, and at the end of the mechanical wheels were sharp and gleaming blades. Under the sunlight, they flashed a breathtaking cold light. It was obvious that they were carefully designed to cut or push away those indestructible battle formations.
The Yellow Turban Army's chariots began to roar, the mechanical wheels slowly rose, and the blades flashed cold light, as if announcing the impending killing.
With the creaking sound of gears meshing, the mechanical wheels stretched out towards the rock-solid iron shield line of defense, trying to cut through this seemingly impenetrable line of defense.
The soldiers on the chariot were concentrating on operating the mechanical wheels.
"Boom boom" a roar came from the Yellow Turban Army's formation, shocking everyone.
The loud noise was like the rumbling thunder rolling across the sky, foreshadowing the coming storm.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of roads suddenly appeared in front of the Yellow Turbans' formation, like cracks in the ground, making way for the giant beast that was about to be born.
However, faced with the Yellow Turban Army's new tactics, the Halberd Soldiers did not show any panic.
These thunder chariots have majestic bodies and sharp blades, shining coldly in the sunlight.
Like a behemoth on the battlefield, it roared and rushed towards the iron shield defense line of the Halberd Corps with unstoppable force.
The wheels rolled, raising a cloud of dust, and the momentum was as great as a rainbow.
Faced with this sudden attack, the Halberd Corps still maintained a tight defensive posture.
The giant iron shield in his hand was as strong as a city wall, but it couldn't help but tremble slightly under the fierce impact of the Thunder Chariot.
However, the halberd warriors were not shaken by this. They gritted their teeth, used all their strength to steady their iron shields, and vowed to defend the line of defense to the death.
"Hold it! Hold it!"
Several halberd-wielding captains in front of the battle line shouted loudly, encouraging the soldiers to hold their positions.
At this time, the agile soldiers of the Vanguard Battalion who were following closely behind the chariot began to try to climb the iron shields.
They were like nimble monkeys, searching for a foothold on the iron shields. However, the halberd warriors seemed to have seen through their intentions, and the gaps between the giant shields were cleverly adjusted to be tighter, leaving the Yellow Turban soldiers with nowhere to land.
Whenever they tried to find a suitable climbing spot, they found that it had been cleverly blocked.
"Humph! You think you can use this kind of trick to break our iron shield? You really want to do it!"
Seeing that the Yellow Turban Army's tactics were repeatedly frustrated, Zhang He in the halberd formation curled his lips into a sneer.
However, the Taiping Sect members on the opposite side did not give up.
"All troops, listen up! We must break through this line of defense at all costs!"
As the order was given, the elite Yellow Turban Army that came behind them launched another fierce attack.
They surged towards the Halberd Warriors' iron shield defense line like a tide, trying to find a breakthrough.
However, the halberd soldiers still maintained a tight defensive posture and did not give the Yellow Turban Army any chance.
The giant iron shield seemed like an insurmountable chasm standing in front of the Yellow Turban Army.
The atmosphere on the battlefield became increasingly tense, and every collision seemed to tear the air apart.
At this moment, a calm and firm command suddenly came from the halberd soldiers: "Draw your halberds!"
This command exploded on the battlefield like thunder, shocking everyone.
The one who issued the order was Zhang He, the general of the Great Halberd Army.
At this moment, he was standing in front of the formation with an expressionless face, his eyes revealing an unshakable determination.
As the order was given, the halberd soldiers' iron shield defense line suddenly changed.
The giant iron shield that was originally tightly combined cracked, as if a dark crack appeared in the sea of shields.
Immediately afterwards, countless halberds made of fine iron suddenly shot out from the cracks, like poisonous snakes, spitting out their tongues and pouncing towards the Yellow Turban Army.
These halberds flashed coldly in the sunlight, and their sharp tips seemed able to pierce through all obstacles.
For a moment, wailing sounds rose one after another in front of the halberd soldiers' formation.
The Yellow Turban soldiers who were rushing in the front were pierced through the body by the sudden halberds, and blood gushed out, dyeing the battlefield red.
At that moment, his expression froze into eternal fear and unwillingness.
The halberd warriors were like cold-blooded killers, thrusting their halberds into the enemy's bodies again and again.
His movements were swift and precise, and each strike of the halberd was aimed directly at the vital points of the Yellow Turban Army.
The perfect combination of iron shields and halberds made their defense line like an impenetrable wall of steel, leaving the Yellow Turban Army helpless. Every attack could take the life of an enemy.
The battlefield was filled with a strong smell of blood and wailing, as if a tragic picture was unfolding before everyone.
He in Zhang Daji's formation watched all this coldly, without a trace of pity or sympathy in his eyes.
Under the fierce attack of the halberd soldiers, the offensive of the Yellow Turban Army gradually weakened.
Merely relying on the physical body and faith, one cannot withstand these sharp halberds, nor can one break through this indestructible line of defense.
At this time, on the battlefield, under the feet of the halberd soldiers, there were corpses and blood of the Yellow Turban soldiers everywhere, like a purgatory on earth.
