Chapter 479: The Bloody Battle of Beishan and the Breakthrough of the Crossbow Artillery Card
At the head of Beishan City, the commander of the Taixi infantry and air armies, Luo Tley, slapped angrily on the city wall.
Barbarians, these damn bastards, what the hell, they've just started fighting, and they're thinking about retreating, damn it.
"Pass the order, go on the infantry attack, maintain the position, and leave the retreating barbarians alone."
"The bird soldiers immediately rose into the air, cooperated with the infantry army, strangled the Han army's main formation, and must defeat this Han army."
Rottley's orders were issued one by one, and the sergeant in charge of the order rushed up and down the city.
The Taixi army moved, and the army that had already left the city began to unfold its military formation, and the unique shield array of the Taixi people interacted with the qiāng array, stepping on heavy steps, slowly advancing forward.
Overhead, more than a dozen birds fluttered their wings and slowly pushed forward.
From time to time, arrows broke through the air, falling from the sky, sweeping everything in front of the battle, the barbarian defeated army, and the Han army scouts who came out were shot into blood gourds one after another, and fell in front of the Taixi army.
After the Han army's big array, Su Lu was dressed in a purple robe and had no armor, looked at the birds in the sky, and commanded.
"What about the men of the ballista battalion, what about the land battles, go up and operate the artillery, fire the crossbow arrows, and shoot down the birds of the Tessie for me."
"The infantry army is ready to go forward and block the infantry of the Taixi people, and we can't let him break through our army's ballista formation."
"Hua Xun, press it on me, master the degree, don't be completely exposed to the arrows of the bird soldiers, and pay attention to cooperate with the ballista artillery."
With the passing of military orders from Su Lu, the guards marched forward and the ballista battalion went forward.
Thick clusters of arrows rose into the sky, and the sound of birds being shot by crossbow arrows sounded in the air, and it didn't take long for the birds flying in the sky to become hedgehogs.
Su Lu's face was a little ugly, Taixi's new style of flying birds had a very strong ability to fly high, before this, the old ballista could reach the upper limit of the bird's flying distance, but now with adjustments, the new ballista with a firing distance of twelve miles can only reach the bird, and the arrow cluster is not able to shoot through the bird at all.
"Kill"
The sound of shouting and killing sounded, and the Han army led by Hua Xun engaged the Taixi infantry army, and the two armies collided together, and the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky.
Flesh and blood fly, flags fly.
The 3rd rank chief qiāng array cards were scattered one after another, covering all parts of the Han army's main formation, and the Han army's offensive was shaken, and the morale of the Han army, which had been damaged a lot by the rain of birds and arrows, began to be high again.
Compared with the bird soldiers, the infantry army of the Taixi people was much easier to deal with, and the long qiāng array was invincible.
"Wow"
The army separated, and Hua Xun, wrapped in blood, retreated back and saluted Su Lu with a fist.
"Commander, no, our army can't attack, although the Taixi infantry army is poor, but Taixi's flying birds are too strong, the two cooperate, our army has suffered heavy losses, and it can't be the enemy."
Su Lu asked in a deep voice: "What are the casualties of the Chinese army?" ”
"More than 5,000 died, and no less than 6,000 lost their combat effectiveness."
Hua Xun's face was full of gloom, most of his subordinates were lost, and Yingyuan's forward battalion was almost completely killed, and if it continued like this, almost all 20,000 Chinese troops would die here.
Su Lu looked at the birds cruising in the sky, his face was also gloomy, even if it was the latest ballista, it couldn't penetrate the birds in the sky, and if he continued to fight like this, he was afraid that the whole army would really be wiped out.
"Pass my order, the ballista battalion will shoot and cut off the rear army of the Tessians."
Saying this, a new prompt suddenly appeared in front of Su Lu's eyes.
Level 2 Ballista Artillery Card, +1
Su Lu's face moved, and the crossbow artillery card was finally upgraded.
"Someone, call Cao to pick it up, and order He Wu to push the latest ballista over to me."
Su Lu commanded and said, Cao Jie's artillery skills are unparalleled, if this newly upgraded level 2 crossbow artillery card is superimposed, there should be hope to fight with the flying birds of the Taixi people.
Soon, Cao Jie and He Wutong took a group of ballistae, pushed the ballista with a dark barrel up, and in front of Su Lu, they began to shoot and prepare to attack.
"Preparing for an attack"
Su Lu commanded.
A moment later, a bolt erupted from the muzzle of the cannon, heading straight for the bird in the sky.
"Wow"
The crossbow bolt grazed the plank of the nearest bird, and the thick cluster of arrows directly tore the plank, and flew into the sky with the flying plank.
It seems that if it hits the bird, there is still hope that it will pass through this bird.
Su Lu thought in his heart, and instructed Lu Zhan next to him: "Light up my banner." ”
Lu Zhan's face darkened, and he looked at Su Ge next to him, this place is at the forefront of the big war, and it has already attracted the attention of the bird soldiers, if it weren't for the fact that the Ouchi guards have changed their outfits, maybe the attack of the bird soldiers will be here, and the prince will even light up the flag.
Is this afraid that you will not die fast enough?
Suge stopped the guards who wanted to raise their flags.
"Lord Wang, it's dangerous here, if the flag is raised, the birds of the Taixi people will definitely come straight to us."
Su Lu looked at Cao Jie's sergeants who were busy loading crossbow arrows, and said with a sneer:
"I just want these Taixi people to shoot me, Lao Tzu has killed so many Taixi generals, if the banner can't attract the attention of Taixi Bird, the commander of this Taixi army is also bullshit."
"Raise the flag, Lao Tzu is the prince or you are the prince."
With Su Lu angry, the evil anger suppressed Su Ge, who wanted to refute, so that she couldn't say anything to refute.
The flag of Sulu lit up and immediately attracted the attention of the Tessie people.
The Tessie infantry moved at the same time as the birds in the sky, and a battalion leader, about 800 men, changed its offensive and began to move closer to Sulu.
In the sky, the two flying birds broke away from the brigade, cooperated with the Taixi infantry on the ground, and began to fly towards Su Lu's position.
Su Lu looked at Cao Jie, who was in charge of the cannon: "Look at it, this time it's going to be accurate, Lao Tzu will be a bait for you, if you can't hit it again, Lao Tzu will skin you." ”
Cao Jian spat into the palm of his hand, his face became solemn, and he scolded the officers of the Ordnance Department and the crossbow artillery who assisted next to him.
"Get out of the way, don't get in the way, Lao Tzu will come by himself."
Soon, several of the servants of the Ordnance Division let go of their hands, and the ballista artillerymen loaded their crossbow arrows and gave way to their positions.
Cao Jian hugged the ballista and commanded: "Li Er, Zhao Niuzi, listen to my order, pull the bowstring to the maximum, the first level." ”
The two crossbow artillerymen who heard the order glanced at each other, and both saw the horror in each other's eyes.
The first level, which has never been tried before, is only the theoretical maximum limit, and if you are not careful, you can break the bowstring.
Although they were horrified in their hearts, the speed of the two of them was not slow, and in a few breaths, they pushed the bowstring to the first level.
"Squeak"
The crunch of the bowstring being pulled to the limit continued, as if the bowstring would be broken in the next moment.
The surrounding guards and Ouchi guards all held their breath, looking at Cao Jie, who was manipulating the cannon, with both shock and fear on their faces.
Cao Jie, who was holding the ballista, had a sweaty face and heavy breathing, and the whole person seemed to be shaking with his breathing.
It's over!
Cao Jie's eyes seemed to be misty with sweat, and his heart became timid.
His own strength is limited, and he can't lock on to the target in this situation, although the flying birds of the Taixi people are getting closer and closer, but when the ballista is at the first level, he can't control the target of the ballista at all.
What to do?
Cao Jie's whole person fell into fear.
"Don't worry"
A gentle voice rang in my ears.
Cao Jie's heart moved, he was the commander and the mountain chief, just like the voice when he was studying in the martial arts hall and gave a lecture to himself.
"Do your best, if you can't aim accurately, just come a second time, I don't believe it, the flying birds of the Taixi people can shoot Lao Tzu to death in one go."
Su Lu looked at Cao Jie, fiddled with the card, and the level 2 crossbow artillery card was added to Cao Jie.
