Chapter 495: An Alternative Battlefield, the Threat of the Longbow
On the city wall, while the upper and lower parties were planning to give each other a little color, Li Qing was in the official residence, in his room, chatting with Chu Lingfeng.
"Lingfeng, you are really not interesting enough to help Su Su commit perjury. It's in vain that I trust you so much and expect ......"
"I'm really sorry to have disappointed your trust and expectations!"
"Is it useful to apologize? I was just a wolf and fled by you, and I was forced to capture the demeanor of a general who was destroyed in ashes while talking and laughing, but it was all ruined! β
"Not many people see it."
"There are still a group of logistics soldiers waiting to carry stone bullets to see it."
"Well, well, my bad. So what do you want? β
"What can I do with you?" Li Qing shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "You can't take off your pants and spank your ass, right?" β
Chu Lingfeng said solemnly: "Then if you really want to fight, I don't mind." Hmm, why don't I take my pants off on my own initiative? As she spoke, she really put her hands on her belt and untied her clothes.
"Excuse me!" Li Qing hurriedly made a pause gesture, "There is a war going on outside, if you let others see it like this, it will not have a good impact." β
"What are you afraid of, how can there be outsiders here?" Chu Lingfeng licked his lips and said, "You should remember that whenever I fight, I am very excited, right?" The thought of fighting a strong enemy in the next place made me a little hungry and thirsty. β
"Uh, I think you seem to be excited after a good fight, right?" Li Qingqi said: "How to ...... today"
"Maybe today's opponent is not ordinary." Chu Lingfeng said: "The Five Great Guardian Knights, General Thunder Prison...... Well, although it's just your guess, I'm not sure if it's really coming, but as soon as I think of the opportunity to fight against this kind of Cheng DΓΉ's powerhouse, I'm already starting to get excited now! I don't believe you're touching ......"
Chu Lingfeng grabbed Li Qing's hand and stuffed it into his pants, "Did you touch it?" It's soaking wet! β
"Uh......" Li Qing withdrew his hand, twisted his fingers, looked at the delicate crystal filaments pulled out by his fingertips, and said with a twitch at the corner of his mouth: "Lingfeng, you're too exaggerated, right?" β
"Exaggerated? Why, this is a normal reaction, human nature. β
"It's the human nature of ghosts. It's your excitement that is so unusual......"
"Less nonsense." Chu Lingfeng's face was flushed, her nose fluttered slightly, and her breathing was hot and slightly short. She looked at Li Qing with watery eyes, and said provocatively: "In a word, do you want to come?" β
Li Qing raised his eyebrows: "Lingfeng, you really have the temperament of this general." General Ben is the most unprovoked! Come on! β
So Chu Lingfeng walked to the bed, took off his pants, turned his back to Li Qing, supported the bedside frame with both hands, separated the slender and well-proportioned ****, cocked his sturdy and upright buttocks, and shook his ass at Li Qing with a slight twist of his waist, making an inviting motion.
Li Qing was not polite, stepped forward to hold the two petals, and did not do foreplay, but directly held the gun and jumped on the horse, and hit it to the end.
Chu Lingfeng's delicate body tensed suddenly, holding her breath, and after a while, she took a long breath of relief, her body slowly relaxed, squinted her eyes and said, "Continue to ......"
Li Qing worked as diligently as a pile driver. Soon, the room was filled with a violent banging sound.
Just when the two were fighting fiercely, Ni Yuanyuan's voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Li Qing, are you in the room?" The Holy Light Alliance's trebuchet has sent stone bullets into the city, do you want to go out and have a look? β
As the words came, there was also the sound of the door lock twisting. However, the door had been locked, and Ni Yuanyuan twisted twice and failed to open it.
When Ni Yuanyuan's voice just remembered, Li Qing suddenly stopped moving, so as not to make an abnormal noise for Ni Yuanyuan to hear. Although this is nothing, Ni Yuanyuan has not seen him make love with Chu Lingfeng or Scarlett. But things are different today. There was a bloody battle on the city wall, but he and Chu Lingfeng were fighting hand-to-hand here. If it is spread, then a ridiculous evaluation will definitely be indispensable.
However, although Li Qing stopped, Chu Lingfeng was on the rise. Regardless of whether there is anyone outside, twist your waist and hips to yourself, and continue to exercise by yourself.
Li Qing hurriedly pressed Chu Lingfeng's waist and hips, signaled her to be calm for a while, and then raised his voice and said: "Sister Yuanyuan, I'm resting now, don't worry about trebuchets or anything, since Long'er hasn't sent someone to me yet, it means that there is no big problem." Sister Yuanyuan, you don't have to worry, it's better to go back to the room to take a nap for a while, recuperate your spirits, and deal with the next big battle. β
"You're really relieved......," Ni Yuanyuan muttered outside, "But why don't you open the door for me?" Shall I come to your room to rest with you? As she spoke, she twisted the lock twice.
"That, I'm not very convenient right now!" Li Qing said helplessly.
"What's inconvenient?" Ni Yuanyuan said strangely: "Where on your body haven't I seen it?" What situation could be inconvenient enough to avoid me? β
Li Qing was embarrassed, and said, "Uh, in short, it's just inconvenient." β
"It's weird!" Ni Yuanyuan, who was outside the door, frowned and said, "Xiao Qingzi, there are others in your house now, right?" β
Li Qing's expression was strange, and he was speechless for a while.
"Well, Reiwind left the quarry before me, and I didn't see her when I came back." Ni Yuanyuan said: "So Lingfeng is with you, right?" β
Ni Yuanyuan guessed, what else did Li Qing have to say? can only admit: "Yes, the spirit is here." β
"Then I can understand that. Okay, you guys go on, I'll go first. β
After Ni Yuanyuan's footsteps disappeared outside the door, Li Qing smiled bitterly: "This is good, Sister Yuanyuan must have guessed what we are doing." β
"Guess it, guess it!" Chu Lingfeng continued to exercise again, she shook her waist and hips vigorously, bit her lip, her eyes were misty, she panted lightly, and said intermittently: "Sister Yuanyuan, her mouth is very strict, she won't talk nonsense...... Li Qing, you also move, don't be all the time, let me be alone, singles......"
"Singles ......" Li Qing grinded his teeth, "I'm still jerking myself!" You little goblin, look at the general's overlord spear! β
Bang bang bang, Li Qing used his marksmanship again, and soon killed Chu Lingfeng for thousands of miles, and Feiquan was like a note.
The two fought fiercely, ignoring the war in the outside world. And Ni Yuanyuan can't be as calm as Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng, since Li Qing left in front of the door, she felt a lot of Li Qing's indulgence in her heart, so she left the official mansion and prepared to go to the city wall to find Xiaolongnu to ask about the situation.
Before he got to the city wall, he saw ten more stone projectiles breaking into the sky above the city, but it was the trebuchet of the Holy Light Alliance Army that carried out the second round of projection. This time, the quasi-head was much better than the first round of salvos, and more than a dozen stone projectiles the size of grinding discs flew into the city.
At the same time, Ni Yuanyuan heard an earth-shattering shout erupting from the side of the city wall, and the sound of gunfire suddenly became much more intensive.
"The fighting has escalated?" Ni Yuanyuan's heart tightened, he no longer paid attention to the dozen or so stone bullets, and sped up his pace and rushed towards the city wall.
β¦β¦
"It's now!" Seeing that his trebuchet fired a second salvo, and more than a dozen stone projectiles flew into the city, and when the stone projectiles flew over the city wall, the defenders at the head of the wall seemed to have a little commotion, and Laprov immediately gave an order, and the three officers assigned before led the two thousand servant troops who had already been lined up, and rushed out of the forward base.
As the 2,000 men charged towards the hillside, all the long-range weapons in the coalition advance base were fired simultaneously on the four walled walls. Muskets, crossbows, and small cannons opened fire one after another, alternating in several rounds of fire, suppressing the fire of the defenders at the head of the city and covering the 2,000 infantry charging the city.
For a time, the sky over the forward base was filled with gunsmoke. Arrows like swarms of locusts, lead pellets like torrential rain, round after round flew down the city, the city wall was smashed into stone chips, sparks were everywhere, and smoke and dust were filled.
Under the cover of the fire of the forward base, the two thousand infantrymen carried the ladder and raised their shields, like a black tide, and spilled towards the hillside. From time to time, someone was hit by the defenders of the city and fell to the ground.
In the forward base, the coalition ranged attackers provided non-stop fire cover, but the effect was not good. The firepower of the Imperial Army in the city showed no signs of being suppressed, and it was still as fierce as before, and even more fierce than before.
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
"Shoot the arrows!"
At the top of the city, the commanders of the Imperial Army heard the firing orders one after another.
A small and medium-caliber cannon on the enemy's platform and city wall aimed its muzzle at the city and fired a puff of shrapnel shells. Every time a cannon fires, a piece of buckshot the size of a thumb belly blasts into the enemy troops charging the city, and a large area is swept away.
The musketeers and crossbowmen also kept firing. With every salvo, you can knock down a large number of coalition soldiers.
The soldiers of Earth II are very strong in physical strength and strength. Even if you are covered in armor and fully armed, it will not take more than a minute to rush up the 200-meter hill. Therefore, it is unrealistic to put the enemy into the fight, and it is necessary to fire as soon as the enemy enters the firing range. Otherwise, with a little hesitation, the enemy army will be able to rush in front of you.
Therefore, when the defenders of the city had just rushed out of the advance base, the defenders of the city launched a fierce blow to the 2,000 coalition troops who rushed to the city. The first round of volleys had the most momentum, and when it erupted, it directly swept away the front line of the coalition forces that rushed into the city, and at least more than 200 coalition troops were knocked down in the way of the charge.
After the first volley, the defenders' firepower weakened slightly, but they continued to strike. As a result, the two thousand Holy Light Alliance troops who were charging towards Guancheng on the hillside, and only halfway through the charge, more than 400 people had already fallen to the ground.
And when this coalition force rushed through the middle range, the five hundred Celtic longbowmen, who had not shot since the beginning of the war, finally released the first arrow since the beginning of the war.
Ten rounds of volleys!
Five hundred Celtic longbowmen, only ten rounds of volleys, the more than 1,000 allied troops carrying ladders, holding large shields, and rushing towards the city with a frenzied shout, were all wiped out!
From top to bottom, none of the soldiers and officers survived. All perished under that terrible rain of longbows and arrows!
The Celtic longbowmen are a blockbuster. The wind swept away more than a thousand Holy Light Alliance troops like falling leaves, which far exceeded the killing efficiency of the guns, and suddenly silenced the city and the city. Both the coalition forces in the forward base and the imperial defenders at the head of the city all stopped firing for a moment, staring at the corpse-strewn hillside in amazement.
Laprov, who was looking forward to the first wave of officers and soldiers rushing to the city, at least rushing to the city wall and erecting a ladder, looked at the corpses scattered all over the hillside for a long time, and then roared with red eyes: "Celtic longbowmen! Royal Praetorian Guard! β
He participated in the battle to destroy the Celtic kingdom, saw the majesty of the Celtic longbowmen, and led a team to hunt down the Celtic royal family who fled under the protection of the royal guard.
In a battle to chase down the fugitive royal family, he and his 3,000 cavalry were blocked by the royal guards behind the 200 royal palaces, and it took more than 1,500 casualties to annihilate the 200 royal guards.
That battle is still fresh in Laprov's memory. You must know that at that time, he was not leading a weak servant army, but an elite cavalry in the main legion of the Holy Light Alliance. Three thousand cavalry is enough to easily defeat thirty or fifty thousand servants.
Moreover, the terrain occupied by the 200 Celtic royal guards at that time was not particularly conducive to defense, and although the cavalry could not rush directly over, they could rush through the halfway distance on horseback and then dismount and charge. There was no city defense in the field, and after the cavalry dismounted, as long as they rushed through the last half, they could directly rush in front of the Celts and slash with their swords.
Even so, the cavalry under his command still suffered heavy casualties. More than 800 were killed and more than 700 wounded, of which less than 200 were minor injuries that could be returned to the battlefield, and the rest were mutilated.
Only 200 royal guards can cripple 3,000 cavalry, which shows the strength of the Celtic royal guards.
It was precisely because of his battles with the Celtic royal guards and the painful lessons that Laprov was able to conclude that the archers in the city who could wipe out more than 1,000 people in half a minute with ten volleys would only be the Celtic royal guards.
"Five hundred, ten volleys, and hardly a single arrow missed......"
With Laprov's eyesight, the number of arrows was counted at the time of the first salvo of the Celtic longbowmen, and the number of Celtic longbowmen was judged accordingly, "Only the royal guards have such a head!" Five hundred Celtic royal guards, if it were better to say in the wilderness, they could be killed by a sea of people. But there is a fortified city to cover...... That's a big problem! β
Laprov had thought that before the big man arrived, he would climb to the top of the city, build a foothold, and show his face fiercely in front of the big man. But now he doesn't have this kind of idea, five hundred Celtic royal guards with city defense advantages can't be dealt with with conventional troops and conventional tactics.
When the Celtic Kingdom was first exterminated, the reason why the Holy Light Alliance easily conquered the royal city guarded by a large number of longbow troops and the royal Praetorian Guard was purely because the Holy Light Alliance had a crushing advantage in the number of spellcasters.
The casters first teamed up to create widespread rainfall, forcing the Celtic longbowmen to fight in the rain. In the rain, when the bowstring gets wet, it will become soft, and the bow force will be greatly reduced or even completely lost. When it rains heavily, there is also a strong wind, and in the midst of the strong wind, the heavy arrows of the longbowmen will lose their heads.
In this way, with the huge number of spellcasters, the Holy Light Alliance directly abolished the sharpest weapons of the longbowmen. Except for a few magic bows owned by the Marksmen of the Royal Guard, the standard longbows of most Celtic longbowmen have basically been abolished. And the few magic bows that can not be affected in the wind and rain obviously can't affect the battle situation.
It is precisely because of this that the Holy Light Alliance was able to conquer the Celtic royal city at a relatively slight cost. But once the Celtic longbowmen are given a chance to play to their heart's content, then they become very scary.
Even Laprov, who was a seventeenth-level high-ranking warrior, did not dare to brave the rain of arrows of the Celtic royal guards. Because even he, as long as he dares to rush out, then after a volley, he will inevitably become a corpse.
Laprov's throat was a little dry, and he couldn't help but swallow his spit, and muttered, "There are five hundred Celtic royal guards...... The 10,000 people who are advancing to the base can't even touch the city wall when they are all dead! Mage, I need a mage! Lots of mages! β
