"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 613
"Two hundred steps!"
"One hundred and fifty steps!"
The observation sentinel looked at the line of southern soldiers pressing down like a thick wall, and his breathing became short of breath.
Those archers of the Qinghe Army who held hard bows also aimed their cold arrows at the dense array.
"shield!"
"Raise your shield!"
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. Amidst the cold shouts one after another, the soldiers of the Southern Army raised up the square shields and small round shields one after another to protect their vital points.
Many Southern Army archers followed closely behind the infantry in the first formation. They carried quiveres on their backs, held hard bows, and walked firmly.
"Raise your shield!"
Although the Qinghe army's side was full of sword and shield soldiers at first glance, they were not careless, and the officers ordered the sword and shield soldiers to raise their shields.
"Eighty steps!"
"Sixty steps!"
The two sides soon reached the range of the arrows. The dull atmosphere oppressed everyone's breathing, everyone's face was tense, and their spirits were highly concentrated.
"Boom!"
Suddenly there was a whistling sound of tearing the air in the sky, and stone bombs weighing more than 50 kilograms rose into the air, crossed the front Qinghe army position, and smashed towards the approaching southern army formation.
The soldiers of the Southern Army also heard the whistling sound. Many soldiers looked up, and in their vision, a stone was rapidly enlarged in their pupils.
"What it is!"
A Southern Army officer couldn't help but exclaimed.
"It's a rock, run away!"
As soon as his words fell, a hurried voice sounded next to him.
The stone bullet weighing more than 50 kilograms slammed down with a roar of death.
The gathered Confederate soldiers saw the stone falling towards them, and scrambled to avoid it.
"Boom!"
However, the speed of the stone falling was too fast. As soon as a Southern Army soldier stepped forward, the stone fell down with a bang.
Amidst the sound of cracking bones, the Southern Army soldier was directly smashed into a distorted shape by the stone bullet, and half of his body was embedded in the soil.
The surrounding soldiers of the Southern Army turned their heads to look, and saw the comrades who had been smashed deeply into the soil, and they were all sweating from their backs.
They didn't expect the Qinghe army to have such weapons, and they were terrified when they saw the dozens of kilograms of stones.
"The stone is coming again!"
But before they stood up and regrouped, some Southern Army soldiers exclaimed again.
The soldiers of the Southern Army looked up one after another, and eight groups of black stones were flying towards them.
"Hurry up and hide!"
I don't know who yelled, and the neatly advancing queue suddenly became a mess, and the soldiers of the Southern Army evaded one after another.
Because no one wants to be hit by a stone, once hit, it will become meat sauce.
"The bandit army has so many sharp weapons. If we don't wipe them out, it will become a serious problem for us!"
Li Hong, a general of the Southern Army, was also watching the battle on horseback. When he saw a stone weighing several tens of catties flying towards them, and the soldiers fled in panic after being smashed, he also had a solemn expression.
A few days ago, they captured the three-edged saber and crossbow of the Qinghe army, and they had already sent them to General Zhennan overnight.
Now seeing that the Qinghe Army actually had trebuchets, Li Hong also realized that the Qinghe Army was not a mob, even more regular than the regular army of these dynasties.
"Beat the drum, charge up!"
Li Hong also knew that there was nothing they could do about the Qinghe army's trebuchets. They had to pounce on them and fight them in close quarters, so they dared not use the trebuchets.
"Boom!"
"Boom boom boom"
Soon, the dull sound of war drums resounded across the battlefield, and the officers at all levels who panicked and avoided knew that this was an order to attack.
"Attack!"
"dash forward!"
Officers at all levels in the formation screamed one after another, waved their sabers, and ordered the soldiers to charge forward.
Although the trebuchets caused some casualties to the southern army, in the face of a large number of southern troops, the casualties were only a drop in the bucket.
The main function of the trebuchet is deterrence and in siege warfare.?Used, in such a field battle, the lethality is really limited.
"Fire the arrow!"
Seeing the chaotic Southern Army soldiers start to rush forward, the Qinghe Army guarding the trench also moved.
"Shhhhhhh!"
Countless sharp arrows shot towards the soldiers of the Southern Army who rushed forward.
"Keng!"
"Tuk-tuk!"
"ah!"
Most of the soldiers in the front row of the Southern Army were equipped with shields, so many soldiers rushed forward with their shields on.
But even so, the shield can only protect the vital points, and in the fast movement, many places cannot be protected.
In a cloud of blood mist, many soldiers of the Southern Army who were charging forward were pierced by arrows and knocked to the ground.
"rush!"
"Press it up!"
Although the arrows kept shooting and killing the soldiers of the Southern Army, the officers were urging loudly, and the soldiers of the Southern Army had to brave the arrows to move forward.
"Where are our archers, shoot the arrows, shoot the arrows!"
The catapult just now disrupted the southern army's formation, causing their archers to fail to react.
Seeing their soldiers keep falling under the arrows, some generals couldn't help but cursed.
Soon, sporadic arrows flew out from the ranks of the Southern Army and landed near the trenches of the Qinghe Army, kicking up countless clouds of dust.
The southern army's charging speed was very fast, and they rushed to the Qinghe army's defense line in just a few breaths.
The soldiers in front all had fierce faces, and they escaped the blows of the trebuchets and arrows.
As long as they rushed into the defense line of the Qinghe Army, they believed that they would be able to kill the Quartet.
After all, those in front are all carefully selected elites, and their task is to tear apart the defense line of the Qinghe Army.
However, their eyes were fixed on the Qinghe army hiding behind the trench, and they didn't notice their feet at all.
A soldier of the Southern Army rushed forward with big strides, and suddenly he stepped on it and stepped into the air.
It was clearly grass, and the sudden step into the air gave him a premonition that something was wrong, but his body could not help but fall forward.
"Puff!"
"ah!"
The soldier of the Confederate Army fell into a ditch covered with grass, and was immediately pierced by a sharpened moso bamboo.
Seeing the moso bamboo running through his body, the Southern Army soldier did not die on the spot, and he screamed with a distorted expression.
When this Southern Army soldier fell into the trap, at least dozens of Southern Army soldiers striding forward on the same line also fell into the ditch filled with moso bamboo.
The soldiers behind were running too fast, and seeing the people in front suddenly disappear from view, it was too late to brake.
The power of inertia made many soldiers of the Southern Army fall down in panic, screaming one after another for a while.
More than two hundred soldiers of the Southern Army rushing forward fell into the deep trench full of sharp objects like dumplings.
The soldiers at the back stopped one after another. They were also terrified when they saw their comrades in the ditch who had been pierced in disarray, and they cursed at the Qinghe army one by one.
"The Octagonal Bull Crossbow!"
Seeing a large number of soldiers of the Southern Army gathered at the edge of the trench, a thousand soldiers from the Qinghe Army showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Three octagonal ox crossbows were pushed up, heavy arrows with thick forearms were quickly loaded, and the bowstrings were fully drawn.
"put!"
Amid the roar of death, three heavy arrows with thick forearms aimed straight at the southern army gathered beside the trench.
"ah!"
In the terrified eyes of the soldiers of the Confederate Army, heavy arrows pierced through the body of the first Confederate soldier.
The unabated heavy arrows quickly pierced through the second Confederate soldier, the third, the fourth
At such a short distance, the lethality of the heavy arrow is astonishing, and it has been through the bodies of seven Southern Army soldiers, which consumes all the strength.
The Southern Army soldiers strung on the heavy arrows looked like meat skewers, which was horrible, and the surrounding Southern Army soldiers were all terrified.
"The heavy arrow is coming again!"
When seeing three more heavy arrows roaring towards them, the soldiers of the Southern Army finally broke down.
"Run!"
No one wanted to die tragically like a kebab. The soldiers of the Southern Army scrambled to turn around and run away, wanting to escape from here, the farther the better.
