"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 896
While the cavalry of the Qinghe Army attacked the rebels at night, the troops led by the deputy commander Wang Cheng were not idle, they were still digging to expand their defensive positions.
Now the defensive positions of the Qinghe Army are full of criss-cross trenches and fences, forming a complex three-dimensional defense system.
The infantry, archers, and cavalry of the Qinghe Army were divided into countless combat units, and they were arranged in this defensive position, ready to fight.
Chen Ziang personally commanded the defense against the rebels, and it was impossible for him to stay on the towering sentry tower all the time.
So this time he handed over the task of directing the defense to Yuan Jie, the army commander, and asked him to experience it, while Chen Ziang served as an advisor.
When Chen Ziang and the others took their positions, the rebels had already assembled outside the defensive position.
Looking around, it was a forest of knives, mountains and guns, and under the densely packed banners were endless black heads.
The rebel army has a large number of troops, and now they occupy the fields and woods, giving people a great visual impact.
The Qinghe Army brothers standing in the front row felt scalp numb even more because of their limited vision.
It's just that there are defensive facilities such as trenches, fences and horse repelling in front, so that the Qinghe army hiding behind at least has a certain psychological advantage.
"The rebels are coming up soon, hold on!"
"I will obey orders later!"
The voices of the officers of the combat units of the Qinghe Army deployed in various places also sounded one after another behind the fence of the trench.
The brothers of the Qinghe Army have gone through the battles of the previous few days, and their uniforms have already been covered with mud, dust and blood, but their eyes are firm, and there is an aura of iron and blood killing all over their bodies, which is the temperament of veterans who have fought many battles.
The first echelon of the offensive led by the rebel general Gao Jiang is still a motley army of the rebels, and their tactics are not innovative at all, and they are still crowd tactics.
It's just that they knew that the Qinghe army had a lot of arrows, so they temporarily found a lot of wooden boards, shields and other things, and blocked them in front of them.
Under the urging of the officers, the soldiers of the rebel army held up their tattered weapons and marched like a wall.
Soon they arrived at the front of the Qinghe army's defensive position, and the fences destroyed in yesterday's battle have been repaired again.
It's just that the densely packed corpses on the ground have not been cleaned up, and they are already cold and stiff, as if they were a warning to the rebels.
Although the soldiers of the rebel army were afraid in their hearts, they did not dare to stop under the urging of the officer.
They stepped on the soft, rotten soil soaked in blood and stepped on the hideous corpse of their companion, step by step approaching the Qinghe Army's trench.
In the trenches, the archers of the Qinghe Army were already shooting their arrows. The arrows wrapped in wrought iron glowed with a cold light, which made the soldiers of the rebel army tense and tried to protect their bodies with the crude planks as much as possible.
The rebels had already entered the range of the Qinghe army, but the Qinghe army did not release arrows for a long time, making the rebels all short of breath.
They didn't know why the Qinghe army hadn't released the arrow yet, but the closer they got, the more fear they felt in their hearts. They even expected the Qinghe army to release the arrow sooner.
"Come on!"
Seeing that they were about to reach the fence, under the dull atmosphere, the rebel officer couldn't help roaring.
The rebel soldiers were also oppressed by the dull atmosphere. When they heard the officer's roar, they all roared angrily and rushed forward.
The rebels began to charge, and there were layers of corpses everywhere on the ground, and the speed increased, so those shields and wooden boards couldn't block all the vital parts of the body.
"Fire the arrow!"
At this time, the officers of the Qinghe Army finally gave the order to release the arrows.
Amidst the vibrating sound of bowstrings, countless spiked heavy arrows, with the whistling sound of tearing the air, crossed the top of the fence and slammed into the charging camp of the rebels.
"Puff puff"
The sound of arrows piercing into the flesh kept ringing, and the rebels fell down like overripe wheat.
But the rebels behind filled the vacancy in an instant, and then another wave of arrows came, and another rebel fell.
The archers and crossbowmen of the Qinghe Army were divided into several batches, and they took turns to shoot, and the rebels were sent to meet Lord Hades in batches.
In a short period of time, more than 50,000 arrows were firedGo out, and many rebel soldiers who were shot by arrows were shot directly into hedgehogs.
However, there were too many rebels. Even though they were extremely reluctant, driven by the crowd, they were almost coerced and rushed forward, unable to stop at all.
Because of the huge driving force behind them, their personal strength is too weak. If they don't want to be pushed to be trampled into meatloaf, they can only rush forward.
However, the arrows in front were like flying locusts, and batches of rebels died in the hands of the Qinghe army. The rebels cried out in despair, but they were drowned by the huge noise.
The rebels broke through the first fence of the Qinghe Army, and those trenches had long been filled with yesterday's corpses, so the rebels crossed the front trenches without any hindrance.
The archers of the Qinghe Army were retreating in batches, while the spearmen and shield soldiers stood guard everywhere.
Soon the rebels crossed the trenches filled with corpses and rushed to the newly dug trenches.
On the opposite side of the ditch are the spearmen of the Qinghe Army who are in full formation, with densely packed spears pointing at the rebels.
The rebels tried to rush across the ditch one by one, but they underestimated the width of the ditch.
Many rebels fell into the trench, wailing and cursing continued for a while, and dust was flying all over the sky.
There are also lucky rebels who successfully crossed the trench, but they were greeted immediately by sharp spears.
Seeing several spears piercing his body at the same time, the rebel soldiers seemed to be relieved, and rolled upside down into the trench, kicking up a cloud of mud and dust.
The rear team of the rebels pushed the front team, and some rebels in the front row were pushed into the trench alive.
Not long after, the trenches were filled with living and dead rebels, and the follow-up rebels stepped on them and continued to charge.
However, the Qinghe Army who had been guarding here just now had withdrawn to another ditch and removed the planks that could cross the ditch.
The archers of the Qinghe Army did not stop for a moment. The rebels in front faced the danger of trenches and spears, while the rebels behind were constantly being shot and killed by arrows.
On the battlefield of Nuo Da, flying arrows are everywhere, and the battlefield is filled with a layer of scarlet blood mist. Countless people are struggling and fighting in this blood mist.
The rebels are constantly advancing, but they will pay a heavy price for every step forward.
One after another, the rebel troops went into the attack. They were like waves, wave after wave, and the offensive was like a tide.
The Qinghe army seemed to be retreating constantly, but they traded space for time to consume the rebels' vital strength.
"See those rebels who haven't come up yet?"
Chen Zi'ang couldn't bear to see that these attacking rebels had messy clothes and were driven up to die.
Even if they killed all the coerced rebels, Yang Hao might be able to pull out another team in an instant.
So he set his sights on the Tiger and Leopard Battalion, an elite rebel force that was arrayed behind the rebels but did not come up.
"That is the elite tiger and leopard battalion of the rebels."
The reinforcements in charge of today's command also noticed the elite troops in the rear of the rebel army, those soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Battalion wearing uniform blue clothes, there are tens of thousands of them, and they are the direct line of force in Yang Hao's hands.
"As long as we eliminate them, these mob rebels will collapse without a fight."
After such continuous battles, the commander-in-chief Chen Ziang was also constantly observing the situation on the battlefield.
He found that these attacking rebels didn't seem to be so willing, or even forced.
And the reason why they didn't dare to resist was because there were elite rebels in the rear, they didn't dare to retreat, and retreat would mean death.
If the Tiger and Leopard Battalion of the rebels behind could be knocked out, the rebels might disintegrate.
Because once Yang Hao did not have a powerful elite army, he would not be able to suppress the rebel battalions. Chen Ziang grasped the core point of defeating the rebels. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
