Chapter Eighty-Four: Attack Without Damage
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the bean-sized raindrops kept hitting people's faces, shoulders, horses, and the ground. The raindrops that fell on the ground kept splashing, and the hazy water vapor filled the surroundings, and even more than ten meters in front of them could not be seen clearly.
An army of less than 400 Feng family troops was still advancing non-stop, and every time the horse's hooves stepped heavily on the ground, it would splash several feet high, splashing on itself, and the companions who followed closely behind would also collide head-on.
Through the curtain of water in front of them, everyone was still staring firmly ahead with eyes full of determination. The only sounds around were the clatter of horses' hooves on the ground and water, the clanging of raindrops falling on their armor, and the rustling of heavy rain, all of which were completely drowned out by the sound of the horse's hooves galloping.
"There is a situation! Crossbow!! Suddenly, Lin Feng's body in the gallop shook, leaned over slightly on the horse's back and listened for a few seconds, then suddenly turned his head back, and threw out a series of water droplets gathered on the edge of the battle helmet while shouting at Li Xiaofeng and the others behind him.
"Crossbow!"
"Crossbow!"
"Crossbow!"
From front to back, a series of sounds rang out one after another, followed by the faint sound of crossbow arrows snapping into the slots. Immediately, Lin Feng turned his head and shouted to Mao Hao: "Xiao Hao, you come to command!" ”
"Hmm!" Mao Hao nodded heavily, and after taking over the command, he raised the silver spear in his hand above his head, and after swinging back and forth a few times, he was afraid that the winged cavalry in the rear would not see it clearly, so he turned his head and shouted: "Slow down, three rows take turns to fire a salvo!" ”
Slowly, Lin Feng and several others took the lead and squeezed in the middle of the front of the team, and the speed of the horses slowly decreased. The three hundred and seventy-six winged cavalry behind him quickly changed their formation, with three rows in front and back, arranged in echelons and gaps.
Glancing back at the winged cavalry behind him, Mao Hao glanced at Lin Feng beside him, and after getting Lin Feng's nod of agreement, Mao Hao's spear swung down heavily, and shouted: "Release!" ”
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
A series of crossbow arrows broke through the air, but it only took a few seconds to disappear into the rain, and only a few seconds later, the second row of winged cavalry had already accelerated past their companions in the first row, pulled the trigger of the crossbow in their hands, and a sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air followed. A few seconds later, the third row of hussars had leapt to the first row, and without hesitation, they fired the long-prepared crossbow arrows.
In the first two launches, the crossbow bolts were like stones sinking into the sea, and they didn't even make a decent splash, let alone have any practical effect. But a few seconds after the third round of crossbow arrows went out, a few faint screams came from the rain curtain in front of them.
Soon, the winged cavalry, which had fallen to the last, rushed to the first row again, and the skills of the crossbow on horseback, which had been practiced for a long time on weekdays, were vividly displayed at this moment, and as soon as they jumped to the first row, they pulled the trigger in their hands one after another. The second row of hussars who rushed to the front again had not yet caught up with the trigger, and there were screams from the front again, only this time the sound was clearer than the last time, and it seemed to be a little more.
This was repeated three times, and the outline of the rebel formation in front could already be seen through the heavy rain curtain, but it was a little scattered. Originally, Vice Admiral Wang wanted to organize a counterattack when he was attacked for the first time just now, but he was caught off guard by the sudden situation, and the continuous crossbow attacks of the winged cavalry completely broke the front row soldiers of the rebels, and they could not organize effective resistance and counterattack at all.
After just getting a respite, Vice General Wang was ready to command the organization to counterattack again, but he had already seen a row of lights flickering in front of him, he knew that it was the light emitted by the sharp head of the cavalry spear, at this moment, if it was completely too late to organize the launch of crossbow arrows, at most there would be a round of salvo, and the two sides would come into contact, and even if they could shoot some Feng family troops, then Deputy General Wang's cavalry would be completely torn apart. What's more, the most important thing is that Vice General Wang doesn't know how many people there are in this Feng family army that attacked him!
"Prepare for battle!!" Vice General Wang roared loudly in the rain: "Gun!" ”
"Fat!" Followed by a loud roar from Mao Hao, the winged cavalry that was originally divided into three rows had been replaced by a five-row formation at this time, and with Mao Hao's order, the winged cavalry in the back three rows threw the inverted cavalry spear in their hands at the same time.
There was another howl among the rebels, and more than half of the cavalry in the first few rows fell under their horses in an instant, some were directly shot in the body and thrown directly to the rear, and some were stabbed by their spears and thrown to the ground, and then trampled to death by their companions who followed up, and even trampled into a ball of flesh mixed with the dirt on the ground.
The morale of this cavalry returning to the city was originally very dripping, and after encountering the heavy rain, they were even more dissatisfied, and they were already very panicked when they were suddenly attacked by crossbow arrows just now, and they just organized to meet the battle, but they didn't expect that the companions in the front row were pierced to the ground by a round of cavalry guns before they could fight.
In order to avoid trampling on their own people as much as possible, the companions who followed behind were turning their horses back and forth to dodge, which caused the formation that was originally quite decent to be chaotic in an instant. In particular, the wounded rebels wailed for death on the ground, and the cry of fear in the face of death gave their companions infinite rendering, as if they wanted to transfer their fears directly to their companions' hearts at this time.
The next moment, more than a dozen people led by Lin Feng, Li Xiaofeng, Mao Hao and others, facing the scattered rebels without a formation, were like a sharp knife stuck in tofu, easily tearing a crack in the middle of the rebels and killing it.
There are only five or six rows in front and back, and the overall calculation is only twenty or thirty meters long, but the rebel team is 100 meters long, and it has been killed all the way, and the bitter cries and wails of the rebels have not stopped at all, which has caused those rebels who have temporarily escaped from danger in the front row to be seriously infected, it seems that this Fengjia army is not only a team of twenty or thirty meters long at all, but hundreds of meters long, and it is not complete at all.
"Chirp." Lin Feng, who was the first to penetrate the rebel ranks, hurriedly reined in his war horse after continuing to run forward for dozens of meters, and then quickly turned his horse's head in place, and the people who followed followed him did the same.
Looking at the winged cavalry in front of him who had rushed out of the rebels, Lin Feng clenched the spear in his hand a little tighter, and his dark eyes were as deep as a bottomless pit, and there was no emotion mixed in at all, cold, only an infinite chill that emanated from the outside.
After everyone formed a queue behind Lin Feng again, they only stayed in place for more than ten seconds, and Mao Hao behind him shouted in a deep voice: "Big brother, none of our army has died!" Let's kill it again! ”
"That's right! Haven't killed the pain yet! As a militant, Li Xiaofeng lost no time in shaking the silver gun twice, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he proposed loudly.
"Master Hou, I'll bring someone to make a breakthrough! Kill them again! Yin Bo, who was also a warmonger, urged the horse to take a few steps forward, clasped his hands into fists and solemnly asked for battle.
