Chapter 61: The Feng Family Army (5)
In the night, the northwest corner of the Qi army camp had lost its patrol guard, and the Feng family army led by Lin Feng easily pushed the battle formation of the Feng family army to a position less than a mile away from the Qi army camp without the Qi army being unconscious.
At this moment, a team of more than ten people with torches rushed out from the main gate of the Qi army camp, and the target was the northwest corner of the camp.
Seeing this, Lin Feng immediately made a decision, ordered the team to stop advancing, and then waved his hand and gave an order to the generals beside him: "Resist the shield array!" Spear Array Assist! Trebuchet reload! ”
"Yes!" Liang Qing and the others beside Lin Feng agreed in unison, each pulled the reins, and went in different directions.
"Shield Array! Get ready to meet the enemy! Liang Qing was the first to reach the front of the team, waved his gun in his hand, and gave a loud order.
Immediately after, Xie Yan arrived, pulling the reins and riding around in place, shouting: "Lancers pay attention!" Assist the shield array, and be sure to withstand the enemy's attack later! As he spoke, he ordered the archers around him: "Archers are ready to attack the enemy at any time!" ”
The rest of Gao Jian rode back to the center of the team, where the trebuchets gathered. Gao Jian pulled out his sword, swung it vigorously towards the northwest corner of the Qi army camp, and shouted vigorously: "All trebuchets obey orders!" Launch unrestricted at the camp of the Qi thieves! Now it's time to reload! ”
After receiving the order, the two thousand shield soldiers in the front row quickly began to line up in formation, and in less than half a minute, the front and rear rows took the lead in forming a concave formation, wrapping the pikemen and archers behind them.
The 1,000 pikemen stood behind the shield soldiers in an orderly manner, each holding the spear in their hands, staring at the front with a dead gaze, without the slightest sense of slackness.
Behind the pikemen, there stood a group of archers in groups of twenty, all nervously checking the arrows they were carrying, and some of them were already looking out on tiptoe from time to time, as if they were looking forward to the coming battle.
In the middle of the procession, where the two hundred small catapults and the hundred medium-sized catapults were housed, the men who were in charge of operating the trebuchets and replenishing the stone projectiles were busy and orderly doing their own things.
Fix the fuselage, control the boom, carry the stone bullets, load the stone bullets...
At this time, the team of more than ten people rushing out of the Qi army camp had slowly approached the place of the Feng family's army.
"Captain! There are enemies! A sharp-eyed Qi soldier suddenly saw the neatly arranged Feng family army shield soldiers not far in front of him, when he first saw it, he still didn't believe it, but after rubbing his eyes, under the reflection of the moonlight, he saw the bright light reflected by the bright spear head in the crack of the shield array, and the startled Qi soldier threw the torch on the ground, hurriedly grabbed the reins and pointed to the front and exclaimed.
The Qi soldier who was called the captain also hurriedly reined in his horse after hearing the exclamation, looked at the army that suddenly appeared in front of him in a panic, sat on his horse, and did not speak for a long time.
"Shoot the arrow!!" With Xie Yan's order, the archers closest to the Qi army began to attack them in the first round.
"Whoosh." The sound of arrows breaking through the air was continuous, which was particularly harsh in the otherwise quiet night.
All of a sudden, hundreds of arrows flew towards the Qi army with a sound.
Although the distance between the two armies was relatively long, and the archers of the Feng family army could not cause serious damage to the Qi army, the more than ten Qi troops held high the light torches and gave the clearest instructions to the archers of the Feng family army, which also led to the fact that all the archers who fired arrows basically used projectiles.
The arrows thrown in the air, even if they have no strength, can still pose a certain threat to the lives of people on the ground by the impact of the fall, not to mention that the armor of the Qi army is not too complete, plus hundreds of arrows fired at more than a dozen people, the consequences can be imagined.
The dozen or so people let out different screams almost at the same time, some were screaming in fright, some were wailing after being hit by the arrow, and some even died after the unlucky arrow was killed before they even screamed.
This can only be regarded as a small episode, because almost the first round of projectiles eliminated all the more than ten people without a sound.
Lin Feng stood in the center of the team on horseback, coldly looking at everything that was happening not far away, slowly turned his head behind him, and after glancing at the prepared trebuchet, he stretched out his right hand, slowly waved it forward, and shouted in a deep voice: "Fa!" ”
"Squeak. Squeak. ”
The three hundred small and medium-sized trebuchets behind Lin Feng sent out a pre-launch signal, and then the first trebuchet was launched, and with a "whew", a stone projectile quickly drew an arc in the air and flew towards the Qi military camp in front.
Immediately afterward, the entire night sky kept emitting "whirring. The sound of breaking the air was launched, and large and small stone bullets were launched.
"Bang!" After the sound of the first stone bullet falling in the Qi army camp, it began to erupt one after another.
Among them, there are also the sound of stone bullets smashing on the camp tent and the camp tent breaking, as well as the sound of iron tools colliding with stone bullets on the iron pot, and the screams of Qi soldiers who were injured by stone bullets or scratched by stone chips flying around.
At present, the main force of the attack is still the 300 trebuchets, and the 100 medium trebuchets are the main force, after all, the range of medium trebuchets and the amount of stone projectiles used are much higher than those of small trebuchets.
Pansha, who had already unloaded his armor in the tent and was about to rest, suddenly felt a tremor of the ground under his feet, and before he could react, the tremor became even more violent. Although this kind of shaking does not affect a person's movement like an earthquake, it can already be very noticeable.
At this time, even a fool knows that something must have happened, and of course, Panza is not stupid. Pansa hurriedly put the armor on his body, picked up the saber on the table, and rushed out of the tent.
Standing outside the tent, Pansha looked at the stone bullets flying towards the camp in the northwest direction and the soldiers fleeing in panic in the camp, and couldn't help but throw his arm fiercely, and said to himself with an anxious face: "Damn! Could it be that they have been ambushed again! ”
"General Pan! General Pan! One of Pan Sha's personal soldiers covered his forehead scratched by stone chips with his hand, and ran to Pan Sha in a panic, he didn't care about the blood that was still oozing from his fingers, his face was full of panic, and said to Pan Sha: "General Pan, there is a ** ambush in the northwest!" That's exactly what they're attacking! ”
"What!? Another ambush!? Although Panza's heart was prepared, when he heard the news with his own ears, he couldn't help but be a little angry, grabbed the soldier by the neck, pulled him in front of him, glared at his eyes and shouted angrily: "Why don't you resist!" Panic what! We have 10,000 more! Gather people for me and let everyone not panic! Resist! ”
As soon as he said that, Pansha pushed the man away, walked to his own war horse next to the camp, and cursed: "Damn Tang dog! Look at you, Grandpa Pan, who will annihilate you all here tonight! ”
