Volume 1 When the Wind and Rain Storm Chapter 20 The moon is dark and the wind is high
Halfway through, the rain stopped, and a new day was coming. And with that came the menacing demon army.
The wind howled, the rain stopped, the moon was gone, the snow on the ground was washed away by the rain, and the night returned to its original appearance.
Bunches of torches lit up. Heaven and earth seem to have turned into red furnaces, and the scorching fire of the Salin can be seen in the Sabbath.
The Xuanping army and the demon army are on par, and the demons still occupy a lot of advantages if you calculate carefully, so it is the best means for Xuanping to attack the weak with the strong.
The territory of the demon clan is vast and sparsely populated, and the demon cubs like to live in the surrounding area centered on the holy city, and the eastern area is close to the Heavenly Trench Mountain. It is a necessary place for the demons to go on their expeditions, and over time, this relatively fertile land has become a no-man's land when there is no war, vast and desolate, as far as the eye can see, without the slightest obstacle, and the ground has been washed by heavy rain. The wind blows. It has become hard frozen ground again. It was the natural battlefield of the cavalry units.
There is a wooden bridge every five miles of the Salin River, which was naturally built by the demon cubs in the past for the army to pull out, and after the White Goose spies delivered the news, in order to reduce the threat of the demon army, they were all demolished by the Xuanping army.
The three-way army of the demon clan arrived almost at the same time, and a large area of green, against the backdrop of the firelight, combined with the ugly green face and fangs, was extremely infiltrating.
As the horn sounded, the demons attacked, and the roar shook the sky, and the water of the Salin River was shaken by the sound. When the fierce demon army was less than a kilometer away from Xuanping's army, Xuanping began to move.
A sharp whistling sound sounded in the ears of the demon soldiers, and when he looked up, stones of different sizes flew towards him quickly, the big ones were the size of a house, and the small ones were the size of a grinding plate. The simple minds of the demons couldn't figure out how such a huge stone could fly.
Like a meteorite rain, the stones were rapidly magnified in the eyes of the demon soldiers, and before they could react, a scream came out of their mouths, and the smaller stones were okay to say, if you were lucky, you might be able to dodge, but if you encounter a big one, you can't avoid it, dozens of demons were knocked to the ground with a stone, and the huge pressure turned them into flesh, and the brains of the white flowers and the miserable blood of the green splashed everywhere, and the round boulder crushed them into mud and then continued to roll forward. Rushing around, the terrifying impact was unstoppable, and for a while, the vanguard of the demon clan was in chaos.
"Angri!" The commander of the demon clan waved the banner in his hand and shouted, and the order of the demon soldiers was restored in an instant, and his mouth also shouted "Angri!" Then he continued to risk being crushed into mud by the boulder, stepping on the broken bones of his companions and unswervingly advancing towards the Xuanping army.
A terrible race, they are stupid, cruel, insensitive, but they are also brave, loyal, and not afraid of death. But these. It does not affect the actions of the Divine Camp.
"Put!" The commander of the Shengong Battalion shouted!
"Whew! Swish! Swish! The sound of arrows rubbing against the air made people's eardrums hurt, and before they could figure out what was going on, they only felt a cold part of their body. The demon soldier who was hit by the arrow fell to the ground, and the crossbow arrow was still powerful after passing through the demon soldier's body, and continued to rush forward until he played in the body of the three demon soldiers before settling in the chest of some unlucky guy, even if the unlucky guy was not happy.
Arrows poured down on the demon army like a torrential rain, and the moment each soldier of the Shenji Battalion released the crossbow wrench, it would be accompanied by screams, wails, curses, and moans. So the demon soldiers had to scramble to pick up the wooden shields they had disdained to use to resist this terrifying rain of arrows, although it did not reduce the damage, and it seemed ridiculous, but it was better than nothing.
Not long after, the array in front of the demon clan was scattered by the strong crossbow shot, and more and more soldiers fell, but they did not receive the order to stop the attack, even if the demon soldiers in front of them were in the underworld, they would not take half a step back, and the frozen soil on both sides of the Salin River slowly became soft after being soaked in the hot blood of the demon soldiers, green, black, white, and the colorful fishy liquid converged into a stream that flowed into the Salin River, which was particularly terrifying.
In a sound of "Angri", the demon soldiers rushed forward bravely and fearlessly, as the distance between the two armies became closer and closer, the demon soldiers seemed to have taken drugs one by one, dancing excitedly, for them, as long as they rushed to the front of the human soldiers, the other party was a lamb to be slaughtered.
But what the demons didn't know was that their nightmare really began, six hundred chariots appeared, like steel beasts, the tall war horses in front of them were covered with iron armor, and even their eyes were covered by blindfolds made of some unknown material, and there were four soldiers holding spears or long arms standing on the car, also wrapped in armor. Tall and burly, mighty and domineering. The chariot was surrounded by spikes of various lengths, and at the front was a row of fan-shaped bayonets, which were protected by the horses. Shimmering with a chilling light, these chariots are known as the Chariots of the Floating Massacre
"Boom, boom!" Six hundred chariots rushed towards the armies on both sides of the demon clan in two ways, harvesting their lives like the sickle of death in the surprised and frightened eyes of the demon soldiers, at this moment, the hard body of the demon soldiers was worse than paper paste.
The demon soldiers approached the Futu chariot desperately, trying to shake it with their bodies, but before they could get close, the Terran soldiers on the car cut off their heads with a long sword, and even when they got to the front, they were pierced by the sharp long thorns on the car. They also thought about inserting spears into the wheels of the chariot, but where could the inferior spears withstand the high-speed operation of the hard chariots, and some were interrupted or blown away by the soldiers on the chariot before they even inserted into the wheels.
For a while, the demons fell into a state of passive beating. The bayonet spear in front of the chariot hung the corpses of the demon soldiers galloping on the battlefield, and some of the Terran soldiers on the chariot even used spears to pick up the demon cubs in the air above their heads, and the demon cubs screamed in the air, and the Terran soldiers shouted on the chariot below, provoking other soldiers to do the same.
Such a lethal weapon of war is simply a heavenly help for Xuanping, if it weren't for the cost, scarcity of materials, technical difficulty and other problems, Xuanping might really be able to enter the demon clan's nest this time.
Repeated failures completely stimulated the beastliness in the demon body, and they began to exchange their own deaths for the success of their companions, one by one, they rushed towards the deadly Futu, and a group of people died, and the weapon was grabbed by the next soldier before it was pulled out of the previous soldier's body, and the demon soldier who grabbed the weapon let out a terrifying laugh to the Terran soldier on the chariot, and then, the soldier on the car was dragged down with a weapon.
Rows of demon soldiers blocked in front of the Futu chariot and used axes to continuously slash at the long thorns and war horses, and some threw the weapons in their hands at the enemies on the car, although the damage caused was not large, but it could not withstand the continuous dense raindrop-like fierce attacks of the other party.
What's even worse is that in the end, dozens or hundreds of demon soldiers crawled on the ground to form a wall of flesh, and the demon soldiers in front let the war horse step on their bodies without making a sound, and the chariot pushed the corpses of the demon soldiers forward, the speed became slower and slower, and finally stagnated, the chariot was full of corpses of demon soldiers, and the remaining demon soldiers stepped on the corpses of their companions to board the chariot, such a tragic tactic that only the demons could think of, that's all. Relying on the hundred-for-one style of play. The demon cubs successfully overturned a chariot and engaged in a white-knuckle battle with Terran soldiers who were not inferior to them.
The more than 2,000 soldiers of the Shengong Battalion are not good, they are more powerful than the Euphorbia, they know that this time on the battlefield is ten deaths, the aftermath has been arranged, there is no concern, and they have the advantage of weapons and equipment, so they are extremely brave, and several demons are helpless to go together.
When the manpower was finally exhausted, the fall of the last soldier of the Divine Engineer Battalion caused a cheer among the demon army.
"Angri, Angri, Angri!" The demon soldiers howled, as if to say, despicable humans, what other tricks do you have to use quickly! Uncle is not afraid. Completely forgetting that he has died hundreds of thousands of his companions,
At the same time, the main force of the demon clan on the west bank of the Salin River was shot to death by tens of thousands of soldiers by the Guanzhong Army's Shenjian Battalion and Shengong Battalion, and finally began to slowly go ashore on simple broken ships. The one-sided slaughter is over, and what will follow will be a life-and-death struggle.
The cavalry who were waiting for the battle were already hungry and thirsty, and the 8,000 heavy cavalry rushed towards the main force of the demon clan on the bank of the Salin River under the cover of 30,000 light cavalry, and the remaining 40,000 light cavalry and 100,000 halberd warriors, as well as the deer army and the rebellion army, faced the demon army on the left and right. The armies on the left and right sides of the demon clan were seriously injured before, and at this time, it is most appropriate to use the two most elite armies against each other, and to attack the weak with the strong.
Soon, the armies on the left and right sides of the demon clan began to lose the offensive of the other party, and the troops were not superior, and they were heavily damaged, and the cavalry and halberd warriors, coupled with the division of a hundred battles such as chasing deer and quelling the chaos, made them almost collapse.
The left and right armies of the demons began to move in the direction of the main army, trying to unite their forces. But where will the Terran army give them a chance, the opportunity to encircle and annihilate them will not be wasted.
One by one, the soldiers fell, one by one the spears were broken, and as soon as they cut down an enemy, another new enemy pounced on them, without fear, indomitable, and never to die, whether it was the demons or the human race, the fighting spirit did not fall, but became more high.
Soldiers against generals, knives against guns, spears against sharp axes, no one is afraid of anyone, they are all red-eyed, and they don't send each other to the ground to see their ancestors and vow not to give up, if they are tired of killing, they can't lift the knife, so they will pull a cushion and die together.
The two armies fought from midnight to early morning, inseparable and tireless, especially the Terran army, because they had the upper hand, they were full of energy and momentum.
As the morning sun fell, the waters of the Salin flowed slowly, and the surface of the river was filled with severed arms and countless arrows, and it lost its original color.
