Chapter 650: Defeated

Sixty miles away from Andy City, on a huge wasteland, two large armies spread out one after another, and a few miles apart, a high-ranking officer on a tall horse and wearing beautiful armor poured out of their respective armies and entered the central area of the two armies.

"I am the Imperial Marshal Long Qian, if you are willing to unconditionally lay down your arms and surrender, I can forgive your sins on behalf of the Empire, otherwise, after the Imperial army captures Andy City, you will be beheaded all over the place!" Riding on a group of horses, under the escort of a large number of elite guards, Long Qian, who was dressed in golden armor, entered the front of the formation, looked at Zhou Ming and Zhao Fei and other senior officers of Andy City not far away and scolded loudly.

"If you want us to surrender unconditionally, that's absolutely impossible! As for your capture of Andy City, it is simply a joke, let alone the capture of Andy City, it is a huge question whether your army can survive tomorrow! Hearing Long Qian's words, Zhou Ming, who was dressed in military uniform, said loudly with a look of disdain.

"What nonsense with a group of dying people, let's do it directly, the young master is waiting for our good news!" As soon as Zhou Ming's voice fell, Zhao Fei on the side said loudly.

"There's really no need to talk nonsense with a bunch of dying people! Pass my order, and the trebuchets and crossbow arrows immediately deliver a covering blow to the enemy troops! Hearing Zhao Fei's words, Zhou Ming nodded lightly and ordered loudly to the heralds beside him.

Long Qian, who was dressed in golden armor not far away, was furious after hearing the words of Zhou Ming and Zhao Fei, his face was full of anger, his eyes flashed with a cold cold light, his face was gloomy, and he said in a cold tone: "Kill me, don't leave a single one!" ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

With Long Qian's order, more than 100,000 elite imperial soldiers let out an earth-shattering shout of killing, raised the sharp weapons in their hands, and under the leadership of commanders at all levels, they took steps forward and launched a charge towards the location of the Andy City army, looking like they only needed one charge to defeat the Andy City army.

In the face of the ferocious charge of more than 100,000 imperial soldiers, the army of Andy City was unmoved, and one after another trebuchets and large crossbow arrays were pushed out by a famous city guard soldier and aimed at the more than 100,000 imperial soldiers who were charging.

"Put!" With the arrival of the herald's order, one trebuchet after another began to move, and large stones weighing several tons were thrown out by the trebuchets like meteorites, tilting towards the heads of more than 100,000 imperial soldiers, as if they were going to smash the imperial army into meat sauce.

Thundered! Thundered! Thundered!

In a violent roar, large stones weighing several tons continued to fall on the heads of the Imperial soldiers, mercilessly smashing the Imperial soldiers into meat sauce, leaving stumps and broken arms all over the ground.

At the same time, a large crossbow array, under the control of the soldiers of the city guard, shot out one after another sharp crossbow arrows, and suddenly, only tens of thousands of sharp crossbow arrows were seen, like a torrential rain, pouring towards the body of the imperial soldier, easily breaking through the armor of the imperial soldier, piercing the body of the imperial soldier, making it let out a terrible scream, becoming a broken corpse.

In order to allow the city guards and merchant guards to easily and smoothly win the battle, Zhao Hu added a full 1,000 trebuchets and 1,000 large crossbow arrays to the city guards, each trebuchet is equipped with a hundred polished stones, and each large crossbow array can shoot a hundred sharp arrows at one time, which can be shot a hundred times in a row.

In this battle, more than 100,000 imperial troops had to withstand the large stones thrown by a thousand trebuchets and the sharp crossbow arrows fired by a thousand large crossbow arrays, and only after paying a great price of casualties could they get close to the positions where the city guards and merchant guards were located, and start a fierce battle with the city guards and merchant guards.

A trebuchet has a hundred polished stones, a large crossbow array can shoot a hundred sharp arrows at one time, with 10,000 spare arrows, a thousand trebuchets will throw out all the stored large stones, which is 100,000 large stones, and a thousand large crossbow arrays can shoot out all the spare arrows, which is 10 million sharp arrows.

Of course, it is impossible to throw all the spare big stones and crossbow arrows of trebuchets and large crossbow arrays, because just one round of blows, a thousand big stones and 100,000 sharp arrows, will directly kill tens of thousands of imperial soldiers, and sweep away the imperial soldiers who are charging at the front, so that the imperial soldiers who are charging behind are frightened in their hearts, and their faces are full of horror, and the formation is instantly chaotic, and some imperial soldiers even subconsciously turn around and flee, and are ruthlessly killed by the imperial warlords.

Seeing that the effect of the trebuchet and the large crossbow array was so good, and in just one round of attack, he directly killed tens of thousands of imperial soldiers, Zhou Ming's face showed a look of surprise, and he immediately ordered the trebuchet and the large crossbow array to speed up the attack.

Under Zhou Ming's urging, a thousand trebuchets and a thousand large crossbow arrays opened full firepower, and stones weighing several tons and sharp arrows continued to pour down on the imperial soldiers' bodies like torrential rain, killing the imperial soldiers mercilessly.

In just a few minutes, trebuchets and large crossbow arrays launched three rounds of projectiles, mercilessly killing tens of thousands of Imperial soldiers charging in front, and causing the Imperial soldiers' offensive to collapse, fleeing towards the rear, not daring to charge in the dense rain of stones and arrows.

Seeing the imperial soldiers collapse under the dense rain of stones and arrows and flee towards the rear, Zhou Ming and Zhao Fei did not hesitate or hesitate at all, and immediately issued an order for the whole army to attack, wanting to take advantage of the collapse of the imperial soldiers and before they were organized, to defeat the imperial army, so that it could not be assembled, unable to form a strong resistance, and easily completely defeated the imperial army and won the battle.

With the orders of Zhou Ming and Zhao Fei, in addition to the 10,000 city guards guarding the trebuchets and large crossbow arrays, the other 20,000 city guards and 100,000 merchant group guards roared angrily, waved the sharp weapons in their hands, took steps, and rushed in the direction where the imperial army was.

The Imperial army collapsed and fled under the dense rain of stones and arrows, which greatly boosted the morale of the Andy City army, and they roared angrily, stepped away, and chased in the direction of the imperial army's escape, hoping to kill or capture the Imperial soldiers, obtain meritorious promotions and make fortune.

The imperial army that collapsed in the dense rain of stones and arrows had already fallen to the valley in morale, and with the pursuit of more than 100,000 Andy City troops, the imperial army completely collapsed.

Faced with the defeat of the army, Long Qian's face was iron-blue, his eyes flashed with infinite anger, and he trembled all over, and under the protection of hundreds of elite guards, he rode his horse and fled into the distance.

At this moment, in the face of the collapsing imperial army, Long Qian has lost control of the imperial army, and can not stop effective resistance at all, so he can only escape from the pursuit of the Andy City army, and is trying to gather the rout army and reorganize the attack on Andy City.

It's just that Long Qian's idea is good, but the reality is extremely cruel, how can more than 100,000 soldiers in Andy City with high morale let go of the demoralized and unorganized Imperial soldiers.

Under the pursuit of more than 100,000 soldiers in Andy City with high morale, more than 100,000 elite Imperial soldiers were either ruthlessly killed, or put down their weapons and surrendered on their knees.

In the evening, more than a hundred miles away from Andy City, on the side of a quiet path, more than 300 men in fine armor and sharp weapons in hand, cloaked in green grass, quietly lay in ambush in the dense grass.

"Boss, will the Imperial Marshal really go this way?" A strong man looked at the scarred man on the side, and asked softly with some concern.

"Don't worry, I'm very familiar with the terrain here, if the Imperial Marshal wants to leave our Andy City's sphere of influence as soon as possible, and doesn't want to be caught by our Andy City's army, he can only take this path to Tianyu City!" Hearing the words of the sturdy man, the scarred man replied softly.

Hearing the words of the scarred man, the strong man stopped speaking, but lay quietly on the ground, waiting for the arrival of the imperial marshal.

This scarred man was Zhong Zida, who had just joined the Zhao Clan's merchant group to protect him, and more than 300 elite men who were ambushed nearby, all of whom were his subordinates.

Zhong Zida did not chase and kill the captured imperial soldiers like others to get credit, but after the imperial army collapsed and Zhou Ming and Zhao Fei gave the order to attack freely, he led more than 300 elites under his command to ambush on this path leading to Tianyu City, waiting for the arrival of the imperial marshal Long Qian, who wanted to ambush the guards of Long Qian, and made great achievements in capturing Long Qian alive and entered the vision of the Zhao family.

As for how Zhong Zida knew that Imperial Marshal Long Qian would definitely take this trail, it was because Zhong Zida was very familiar with the nearby terrain and knew that only this hidden trail could avoid the sight of Andy City's army and arrive in Tianyu City in the shortest possible time.

And after the defeat of the Imperial Marshal Long Qian's imperial army, he must want to leave Andy City's sphere of influence in the shortest possible time and enter a safe city, so Zhong Zida will lie in ambush on this trail and wait for the arrival of Imperial Marshal Long Qian.
