Chapter 44: Stealing the Camp (Part II)

"First row, put."

The sparse crossbow arrows made a "whoosh" sound in the dark night, followed by the mournful roar of war horses, mixed with the screams of people.

At the same time, strings of flames flew in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, the rockets fell into the crowd, and Yun Mo's soldiers were instantly shot down fifty or sixty people.

These damn horse thieves, even if they were on horseback, their archery skills were so accurate, because Yun Mo was standing far away, and the rockets fired by the horse thieves couldn't reach him for the time being.

Although the horse thief's first shot knocked down dozens of soldiers, it did not make Yun Mo's recruits collapse, and they, led by the disabled veteran, immediately returned the favor to the horse thief.

The horse thief threw at the sack earthen wall, and one rocket after another rushed into the sky, and then flew down, and the recruits under Yun Mo's command, under the command of the disabled veteran, also fought back desperately, actual combat is the best training, the recruits are gradually adapting to this killing battlefield, and the sack and the earth wall are constantly screaming inside and outside.

The rafters rot first, and the horse thief who rushes ahead is always the first to die, which undoubtedly delays the time for the horse thief to get close to the sack wall.

Yun Mo looked anxiously at the bed crossbow and the catapult, the two big killers finally ready in the scramble of a group of soldiers.

"Report, the bed crossbow is ready."

"Shoot Lao Tzu in a crowded place, no need to report it."

"No."

"Straight ahead, put."

The bed crossbow is mounted on a two-wheeled carriage, and the height of the entire carriage reaches about two meters two, and when the bed crossbow is fired, the crossbowmen in front do not need to squat.

Next to each bed crossbow are three soldiers, one soldier is responsible for winding, one soldier is responsible for placing five crossbow guns on the bed crossbow, and one soldier is responsible for firing.

After receiving Yun Mo's order, a chess and card officer immediately raised a small red flag, and at the same time he let go of his throat and shouted:

"Bed crossbow ready, put."

A "buzz" sound sounded that made the teeth sore, and the flat arrows the size of the palms of the thumb-thick ballista pierced the air with a "whoosh" sound.

The bed crossbow is too terrifying, the gods block and kill the gods, and the Buddha blocks and kills the Buddhas. The horse thieves who charged outside the sack earthen wall were dressed in a string with men and horses, because the distance was too close, and the crossbow spears would continue to kill and injure the horse thieves behind after penetrating the first horse thief.

The light outside was not good, and I don't know how many horse thieves were shot dead, but it felt like the horse thieves rushing in front were empty, but the horse thieves behind instantly filled their place.

Halim gave the order before the charge, no matter what the circumstances, there should be no hesitation, and this order was carried out unconditionally and resolutely by the horse thieves.

Halim's old horse thief's arrangement was really correct, he seemed to have expected this situation for a long time, the remaining horse thieves were not frightened by the powerful bed crossbow, they also charged while throwing rockets, and every time they were thrown, dozens of recruits on Yunmo's side would fall screaming.

If you are shot by a horse thief's rocket, you may not die, but the screams are certain, which is very affecting the morale of the army, and the recruits are already showing signs of instability. Yun Mo anxiously looked at the catapult and bed crossbow that were being prepared, and looked at the horse thieves who were getting closer and closer.

"Report, the catapult is ready."

Ancestors bless, those mallets of catapults are finally ready to be launched, so what are you waiting for! Immediately launch an attack and stabilize the line, otherwise the crossbowmen at the front are afraid that they will collapse.

Yun Mo stood on the carriage, stretched out his thumb, and measured the distance to the horse thief in front of him (thumb measurement)

"Directly in front of the target, eighty meters, ruler eight, ignition...... Put. ”

The horse thief was about forty meters away from the sandbag earthen wall at this time, and the catapult was also about forty meters away from the sandbag earthen wall, so Yun Mo's thumb ranging method was still relatively correct.

One soldier lit the earth-shattering thunder in the catapult's net pocket with a torch in his hand, and another soldier quickly knocked down the dowels with a mallet in his hand.

"Smack." The sound sounded continuously, and the sixteen-step catapult threw the earthquake out, and there were four catapults that were not ready, I don't know what those mallets were doing, didn't they usually train very quickly? How did you get to the battlefield, and you slackened it.

Forty meters, the low sack earthen wall built by the enemy was close to the foot, Halim saw the hope of imminent victory, tonight's sneak attack, really made Halim feel painful, he didn't expect these enemy crossbow arrows to be so powerful, in such a short period of time, he carried more than 300 horse thieves were shot off the horse nearly 100 people.

Each of these elite subordinates was a battle-hardened elite, and they were easily shot by the enemy, so Halim swore in his heart:

"We must kill everyone here tonight, not a single one will be left."

At the moment when Halim cursed, the horse thief he led advanced more than ten meters, and it was only more than twenty meters away from the sack earthen wall, Halim thought to himself:

"Win."

Halim immediately hung his riding bow on the saddle and pulled out his waist knife with lightning speed:

"Brothers, don't leave chickens and dogs behind...... Kill. ”

Suddenly, some black "stones" flew in the air, this stone was so weird, and it was still sparking, Halim didn't have time to think about it, and immediately shouted:

"Raise your shield."

On the left side of each thief's saddle hangs a leather shield, which is made of yak skins that are more than five years old, and the crossbow arrows of this leather shield against direct fire have little effect, just now, Halim and his men have tested it, and those men who use leather shields to block crossbow arrows are also shot through.

But this kind of leather shield is better against bows and arrows thrown from the air, as for whether this leather shield can prevent stones, then I don't know, but at least it can reduce some damage! Halim thought so.

The "stones" of the "bumper ......" fell, and only two or three unlucky people were smashed off the horse, and Halim couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the enemy catapult was nothing more than that, and the stones thrown did not seem to be big.

"What the hell is this sparkling stone?"

God didn't have time for Halim to continue thinking, and the stones that braved the sparks exploded violently, the sound of "boom" was deafening, countless shards of pig iron flew and the shock wave threw people into the air.

This time, Halim didn't seem to be favored by Lady Luck, a thunderbolt fell on him, and the violent explosion directly took him into the air, and when Halim looked down, he found that his body actually flew to the other side...... A human head fell to the ground with a pop.

It was so terrifying that all the people and horses within five meters of the earth-shaking thunder were blown to the ground, and the dead returned to dust, and the earth returned to the earth, and the people and horses who did not die screamed where they wept.

The rest of the horse thieves were all stunned by the huge explosion, but fortunately, the horses under their crotches were still fleeing from this terrible place by instinct, and the terrified horses carried them around.
