"What it is!"
Seeing the stone bullets that fell from the sky land on the attacking team, causing blood and flesh to splatter the soldiers, Qin Lie also opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.
"Eldest son, it seems, it seems to be a trebuchet. The bandit army has a trebuchet!"
A well-informed lieutenant general's expression became extremely unnatural when he saw the thrown stone bomb.
This deputy general is a son of a big family in Jiangbei Province. When he was young, he traveled in many places and saw trebuchets in the northern army stationed in the northern border.
It's just that the Far Eastern Dynasty has been at peace for hundreds of years. Due to the lack of war, all kinds of weapons and equipment have also stagnated.
There are only a handful of troops in the Far Eastern Dynasty that have weapons such as trebuchets, and trebuchets can only be seen among the four major border guards.
"How could the thief army have a trebuchet?!"
Hearing that the other party was using a trebuchet, Qin Lie was also full of question marks.
?Because trebuchets are strategic weapons, sharp weapons for attacking cities and fortifications. Generally, the regular troops of the Far Eastern Dynasty did not have them, but now the Qinghe Army actually has them.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
When Qin Lie and others were in severe shock, the trebuchets of the Qinghe army were not idle.
The howling stone bombs smashed into the militia's offensive troops, and every time they hit, some militiamen must be penetrated or smashed to pieces on the spot.
What's even more frightening is that the stone bullets deliberately polished by the Qinghe Army are surprisingly lethal, and every time they fall down, they will always bounce back up again.
The militia soldiers who had just yelled and rushed towards the Qinghe army saw the people around them were bloody and bloody from the stone bullets that flew in the air, and their miserable appearance filled them with fear.
The stone bullets whizzed and fell continuously, the earth trembled violently, and countless people were hit and killed by the stone bullets.
Although the trebuchet did not kill as many militiamen as the archers, the strong visual impact filled the militia soldiers with fear.
After all, it is impossible for anyone to remain indifferent when seeing his companion's smashed brains burst, bloody and bloody.
What was even more frightening was that the stone bullets were still roaring down, and every militia soldier was scrambling to dodge, and the attacking queue was in chaos.
The stone bullets were falling, the powerful arrows of the archers were constantly shooting, the charge of the civilian army was stopped, and the casualties continued to rise.
"rush!"
"dash forward!"
A battalion general of the civilian army brandished a saber and roared loudly. He felt that as long as he rushed forward, these weapons of the Qinghe army would lose their effect.
"Boom!"
But before the battalion general's shout fell, a stone bomb flew into the air, and the battalion general was thrown upside down.
The battalion general's body was twisted into a bow shape in mid-air, and he died of exhaustion after landing.
Facing the double attack from the Qinghe Army archers and trebuchet troops, the militia troops were already in chaos and their morale plummeted before they rushed forward.
"Cavalry attack!"
Seeing that the civilian army was in a mess, Li Changqing, the head of the Guards Banner, immediately ordered the cavalry troops who were on standby at the side to attack.
"Brothers, kill!"
Five thousand sharp swords lit up in unison, the light of the swords was like snow, and they rushed towards the militia troops like a stream of iron.
"Run!"
The charge of the cavalry unit was like the last straw that crushed the militia. No one in the militia yelled, and the militia soldiers turned around and ran back one after another, defeated like a mountain.
The stone bullets were bouncing in the chaotic ranks of the civilian army, constantly causing casualties and panic. The morale of the civilian army was already in disarray. Now that the opposing cavalry had rushed up, their psychological defense collapsed.
"Those who quit without permission will be killed without mercy!"
"Those who quit without permission will be killed without mercy!"
More than 1,000 heavily armed soldiers of the Civilian Army Supervision Team also had their faces tense. They clenched their sharp swords tightly and loudly warned the retreating civilian army troops.
However, in the panic and confusion, the warnings of the supervisory team were directly ignored, and the militiamen still retreated.
"kill!"
The officer of the supervising team turned ruthless, and gave the order to kill, trying to stabilize his position.
Amidst the blood and flesh flying all over the place, the supervising team brandished their sabers and slashed at the defeated soldiers, killing dozens of them immediately.
However, with the subsequent defeat of the large army, the supervisor team?The thin line of defense was washed away in a blink of an eye.
The 5,000 cavalry troops of the Qinghe Army bit behind the militia troops, interspersed and cut, setting off a rain of blood.
The cavalry of the Qinghe Army did not go to attack the main formation of the civilian army, they just chased and killed the defeated soldiers recklessly.
Under the sweep of the cavalry of the Qinghe Army, the 10,000 troops of the militia suffered heavy casualties, and corpses were scattered everywhere in the wilderness.
The surviving militia soldiers escaped the pursuit of the cavalry and rushed back to their positions one by one. Seeing the heavy casualties, the eldest son Qin Lie also clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth.
He originally wanted to charge forward with 10,000 troops, but Chen Ziang's Qinghe army was not able to gain a firm footing and defeated the opponent.
But who knew that the opponent had such a weapon as a trebuchet, and now the cavalry chased them again, causing more than half of their 10,000 troops to be lost.
Li Changqing's Qinghe Guards Banner Regiment won a small victory against Qin Lie's civilian army for the first time, which greatly inspired the army's morale.
With the skillful cooperation of the units of the Guards Banner Regiment, thousands of people were killed or injured before the militia troops even rushed to them.
"Sure enough, it's a bunch of rabble."
Seeing the battlefield where corpses lay everywhere, Li Changqing, head of the Guard Banner, also heaved a long sigh of relief.
After all, this was the first battle of their Guards Banner Regiment, and the opponent's strength was three times theirs, so they finally won without any risk.
"Eldest son, are you still attacking?"
After seeing the powerful strength of the Qinghe army, the generals of the civilian army were also afraid, and turned their attention to the eldest son Qin Lie.
Fortunately, Qin Lie also calmed down. The other party actually possessed a weapon like a trebuchet, which greatly exceeded his expectations.
Moreover, the troops led by the vanguard officer Xu Yong were in a state of turmoil all the way, and they were beaten to pieces as soon as they arrived. The gap was too great.
Now if he doesn't know the specific strength of the opponent, if he goes up to head-to-head, he will only suffer.
"Withdraw to the camp!"
Qin Lie is naturally not stupid, he has already lost two games in a row, lost nearly ten thousand troops, and his morale is low, it is no longer suitable for him to continue fighting.
Qin Lie ordered the troops to retreat to the camp on the west bank, and the generals of the militia also breathed a sigh of relief.
They thought they could gain military merit by following Qin Lie, but they kicked the iron plate instead.
What is most frustrating for Qin Lie and the generals of the civilian army is that the vanguard officer Xu Yong's troops are like splitting bamboos, and they have defeated the Qinghe army.
Why did the Qinghe army become so powerful as soon as they were replaced?
Of course, although Qin Lie and the others were puzzled, they hadn't doubted Xu Yong's identity. They just thought it was their bad luck. The Qinghe army must have shown weakness at the beginning, on purpose.
Vanguard officer Xu Yong's troops kept winning battles, while Qin Lie's troops suffered two defeats as soon as they were deployed. Now Qin Lie can be said to be depressed and wants to find a piece of tofu to crash him to death. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
