Defeated, Yuchi Gong's Divine Assist
In the distance, Yuchi Gong, who was standing up with his feet in the stirrups, was still craning his neck to watch the battle with a gloomy expression.
Three thousand against seven hundred.
However, the result of the battle was one-sided!
Because the Tang army was already showing signs of collapse.
Such an outcome was truly somewhat difficult for Yuchi Gong to accept.
The soldiers of the Tang Army were at their strongest now.
The prefecture soldiers generally had their own fields and were considered small landowners. They could buy their own armor and weapons.
Moreover, because of the sufficient nutrition, he grew very tall.
Such an army had encountered a group of bandits, and they actually showed signs of collapse so quickly?
From the looks of it, he had really underestimated this group of bandits!
If they had more people, I'm afraid... It would really become a huge problem for Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande!
And this battle had allowed Yuchi Gong to see the military value of steel plate armor.
Firstly, the effect of the bow and arrow was greatly reduced!
At this time, the speed of the arrow was not high. If it hit the wrought-iron fish-scale armor head-on, it could barely penetrate it.
However, if they encountered steel plate armor, the initial speed was not high, and the arrowheads were made of wrought iron, they were basically useless.
In Europe in another time and space.
It was precisely the appearance of plate armor in the 15th and 16th centuries that made the era of bows and arrows dominating the battlefield gone forever. Instead of bows and arrows, arquebus guns with a higher initial speed, stronger armor-piercing ability, and greater power replaced them.
Similarly, the infantrymen who wore simple plate armor and used spears, swords, shields, and halberds also minimized the role of the European knights on the battlefield.
At this moment.
The Duke of E of the Great Tang, Yuchi Gong.
He was ranked eighth in High Heaven Pavilion.
Right under his nose.
The military pillar of the Tang Dynasty, the future invincible army in Central Asia.
They were quickly defeated by a group of bandits who were far smaller than them, relying on the cooperation of steel armor, saber shields, and bows!
How could the soldiers of the Great Tang be so vulnerable?
Obviously, it wasn't because the prefecture soldiers were weak in martial arts or because Di Zhiyong's command was problematic.
But weapons and equipment
They were both shooting arrows at each other, but their side fell like wheat being cut, while the other side was almost unscathed.
In close combat, spearmen with steel armor were simply bugs on the battlefield!
How could they fight?
Yuchi Gong thought of the cavalry…
If the infantry were to fight in a formation, the side equipped with steel armor would have a huge advantage.
But what if he used cavalry to deal with them?
Yuchi Gong seemed to have found a way to deal with the Steel-armored Soldiers.
However, the 3,000 Tang soldiers he had sent out had been completely defeated.
The bandit soldiers on the other side quickly regrouped and retreated in an orderly manner.
Hundreds of Tang Dynasty soldiers 'corpses were left on the battlefield.
...
"Good fight!"
Su Yan, who was observing the battle from the city wall, laughed.
Although the Steel Armor Horizontal Squad tactic was simple, it was able to defeat ten opponents with one force.
Under the circumstances of having steel armor, the normal horizontal formation tactic displayed a huge power.
The same infantry square formation could be broken in a head-on battle against four times the number of troops!
"King, why did that Yuchi Gong retreat?”
Su Yan looked over and indeed saw Yuchi Gong's army retreating.
After retreating for about a kilometer, they finally stopped.
"This Yuchi Gong is quite smart…You learned your lesson from Lu Guangyi."
Su Yan said.
"However, they have burned the surrounding mountains. Now, this Yuchi Gong will not be able to obtain wood to build siege weapons…"
Su Yan gloated.
In ancient times, the side that attacked the city usually did not carry large siege weapons with the army.
For example, catapults, cloud chariots, and collisions were all made from local materials.
The structure of these things was not complicated.
Of course, in some regions of Europe and Central Asia, there were large-scale ballista technology.
These machines with more complicated structures needed to be manufactured in advance.
And now, because of Yuchi Gong's fire, almost all the trees within a twenty-mile radius had been burned down.
Therefore, if they wanted to build siege weapons, they had to obtain materials from dozens of miles away.
Su Yan looked regretfully at the Tang Army camp in front of him.
If he had two cannons in this battle, the result would have been even better.
Unfortunately…There was no technology tree that could fire the cannon yet.
However, because Yuchi Gong had set fire to the mountains recently, some villages in the mountains had defected to the Fallen Dragon Gorge.
Su Yan opened the system and took a look.
The population actually exceeded 100,000?
Su Yan's face lit up.
In this way, he could upgrade the administrative center!
The basic requirement for upgrading from a village to a town was to have a population of more than 100,000!
Originally, he was still lacking over 10,000 people, but this Yuchi Gong setting the mountain on fire just happened to assist Su Yan.
When he arrived at the administrative center, Su Yan immediately opened the system and chose to upgrade.
"Ding! The town administrative center was upgraded to a level 1 town administrative center!”
"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the following authority: "
"The System Store has been upgraded. You can now purchase items and techniques with a rating of Level 2 and above!”
"Construction system upgrade, can build level 2 and above buildings.”
"Barracks system upgrade, you have obtained the conditions to build a level 2 military training camp!”
" Internal Affairs System upgrade…"
A series of voices rang out.
Su Yan was more concerned about the lottery draw every day.
During this period of time, the daily lottery draw was basically only about 1,000 points.
There were no surprises.
"System, I want to complete today's lucky draw!!”
"Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained 2130 points."
"F * ck!"
Su Yan said.
"Ding! [Congratulations, you have completed the main mission: Upgrade the Town Administrative Center to a Level 1 Town Administrative Center.]”
"Mission Reward: 10000 Points, 20 Free Attribute Points, Golden Treasure Chest x1"
At this moment, the system's voice sounded again.
