"What Han Wudi? Liu Che has been dead for thousands of years.”
Li Chong was furious when he heard this." Damn Tartar! How can a barbarian like you address the name of the Great Han Emperor? Hand over your life!" he shouted.”
After saying that, he slashed at Shi Tingyu with his ring-head blade. The latter could only passively block when he saw the other party's attack. However, Shi Tingyu was not a match for Li Chong even at his peak. Moreover, he could not even hold his blade steadily with his broken thumb. How could he win against this Great Han Imperial Guard Marquis who had fought with Wei Qing for half his life?
In just a few rounds, Li Chong had cut off his right arm with a single slash. The severed arm holding the saber flew into the sky and fell below the city wall.
Shi Tingyu screamed in pain, and then his head flew up into the sky. This warrior who was praised by Shang Kexi was beheaded in less than an incense stick's time. Moreover, the one who killed him was a marquis of the Yulin Royal Guards who was 2,000 years older than him.
Shi Tingyu's death made the already weak soldiers feel even more despair. Seeing someone as brave as Shi Tingyu being killed, how could they live?
In their despair, they exploded. Although they had the courage of Xiang Yu, they were not facing Zhang Han's slave army, but an elite force that was even more terrifying than them. More importantly, they did not have a force that could fight against ten thousand people like Chu Bawang. Therefore, this explosion of despair only allowed them to live for a moment longer.
If they were facing the Imperial Guards, they would still be able to explode. However, they did not even have the courage to do so when facing the Great Song's heavy infantry. After fighting with these heavy infantry, they finally understood what it meant to be a heavy infantry.
The spear-shield soldiers at the front of the heavy infantrymen held heavy shields in one hand and spears in the other. Behind them were not only spearmen, but also podao soldiers and a few crossbowmen with divine arm bows.
These soldiers combined into a set of combined fists. First, the spear and shield soldiers advanced like a rock, the spears in their hands could pierce through any enemy who dared to approach. The spear soldiers behind them held their spears with both hands and placed them on the shoulders of the comrades in front of them, advancing like hedgehogs. If the enemy dodged the spears and got close, they would not only face the podao soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding podaos, but also be on guard against the archers holding divine arms and bows.
It could be said that this combination was like an iron wall. Such a formation could only be broken by cavalry, and it was heavy cavalry. Infantry could only exchange their lives for the same equipment.
However, the main family soldiers who attacked this time were not as well-equipped as the heavy infantry. Although they wore double layers of armor, except for Shi Tingyu and his personal soldiers who wore iron armor, the other main family soldiers wore iron and cotton armor. The defense of their armor was much worse than the Song army's infantry armor.
It was not only the difference in armor, but also in weapons.
Because the city walls were narrow and they were attacking the city, they used short weapons such as broadswords that were easy to cut down. As for spears and other weapons, they could not use them at all. However, their opponents did not have such concerns.
As the saying goes, an inch longer is an inch stronger. Not only did the Song army's heavy infantry have better weapons than their own commanders, but they also had long-range weapons that they did not have. Many people were hit by a few waves of arrows before they could get close.
Facing the Song heavy infantrymen who were advancing like hedgehogs, the main family soldiers were very powerless. Moreover, their double armor was like paper in front of the heavy infantrymen's spears.
As the saying went," slash and stab ". Not to mention that the sabers in their hands could not get close to the hedgehog-like heavy infantrymen, even if they got close, it would be difficult to break through the defense of their heavy armor. However, the enemy's spears only needed to stab the armor of these people a few more times to break through the defense of their armor.
After the two sides started fighting, the dozens of home soldiers who had rushed in front did not even have the chance to get close. They were directly pierced into a hornet's nest by the heavy infantrymen with spears. Even now, there were still several home soldiers 'corpses hanging on the spears. Some of the spears even had two or three corpses, looking like strings of candied haws.
The corpses were dragged along with the heavy infantrymen. The scene was extremely terrifying. The main family soldiers who did not rush up subconsciously swallowed their saliva and kept retreating.
However, they soon realized that they had nowhere to retreat to, because their comrades behind them had already been killed by another army wearing red scale armor, and that army was closing in on them.
There was no way out in front, and there were pursuers behind them. It could be said that there was no way out. At this point, many of the soldiers subconsciously wanted to surrender. However, when they thought about how their families were still in Guangzhou, wouldn't they be implicated if they surrendered? After all, their masters, Pingnan Wang and Jingnan Wang, were still watching from below the city.
"Brothers, our families are all in Guangzhou. Surrendering is impossible.”
A soldier of the Han Eight Banners shouted suddenly, immediately making the surrounding people determined to die.
"Let's go all out! I'm going all out! I'll go all out…"
The remaining 100 over people shouted in despair. Shang Kexi and the others who were watching the battle from a distance could hear their voices clearly. This made their faces turn ashen. These were all their elite soldiers…and they were all buried on the walls of Xinhui just like that.
At this moment, Shang Kexi, Shang Zhixin, and Geng Jimao all hated the Ming army in Xinhui City, and even everyone in the city. If they really broke into Xinhui City again, they would definitely wipe out all of Xinhui City.
"Kill…"
Someone suddenly shouted and charged at the Yulin Royal Guards.
It was true that the target of their charge was not the heavy infantrymen of the Song army, because in their opinion, charging at the heavy infantrymen filled with hedgehogs was simply a stupid choice. Charging at the group of Yulin Royal Guards without spear formation was the clearest choice, because even if they died, they could drag a few people down to the Yellow Springs.
When the Yulin Royal Guards saw that these people did not surrender but fought like trapped beasts and even dared to counterattack, they were instantly amused. Suddenly, one of them shouted,"Brothers, our military merits have arrived.”
The person who shouted was none other than Li Chong, the marquis of the Yulin Royal Guards who had killed Shi Tingyu, the leader of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. At this moment, several heads hung on his waist. One of them was none other than Shi Tingyu, who had just been killed. His eyes were wide open as if he had died with grievances.
Li Chong's shout immediately made the Han soldiers around him shout. The Han army's desire for military merits was definitely not any less than the Qin army's. These soldiers who rushed towards them were all wealth in the eyes of the Han army, so they all went up to them with red eyes.
At this moment, they were all thinking of cutting off a few more heads in exchange for more rewards. Then, they would marry a woman and reproduce in this world 2,000 years later. How wonderful would that be!
"Kill! The Han Army is mighty!"
Thousands of people shouted in unison, causing the ground to tremble slightly. Shang Kexi and the others in the distance had strange expressions on their faces when they heard this.
"Did you hear what the Ming army shouted?" Shang Kexi asked the people beside him.”
"I think…I think he's calling Han Wuwei?" Geng Jimao said.”
"It looks like the mighty Han Army." Shang Zhixin added.”
You Yunlong had already arrived in front of Shang Kexi and knelt down to apologize. After hearing Shang Zhixin and Geng Jimao's words, his face was filled with a strange expression.
Han Army? It seemed like he was the one with the Han army…
