Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Dragon's Army's Bloody Battle Against the Cavalry (Middle)
The cavalry who rushed to the front, under the crossbow arrows, opened the red dye shop in an instant, and countless pink liquids shrouded them in the hell of death. As long as a person is hit by an arrow, the people around him will turn dark red, which is splashing blood. Even if they were wearing armor, they couldn't resist it, let alone the cavalry in cloth, at this time they were like a blank sheet of paper, extremely fragile, even men and horses, and their bodies fell heavily, and the ground would make a popping sound.
What's more, the bolts did not hit their bodies, but their heads. That would be even more terrifying, the skull was very hard, and the bolts would pick up his skull, separating it from his neck, and eventually flying backwards until it hit a new target. Usually this new target will be hit by the crazy skull, and in the end, it seems that two large watermelons collide, and they are all smashed to pieces, leaving only a blur of red and white.
Countless blood arrows burst out fiercely, trying to draw a perfect parabola in the sky, leaving the master's last gorgeous trace in the world, but unfortunately, this small wish could not be satisfied, so the cavalry behind was too fast, and after the blood splashed out, the only result could only be to hit the people around them, dyeing their whole bodies dark red, as if they were constantly bleeding from their bodies.
The rich smell of blood shrouded the entrance of the camp of the Longxiang Army, and the dark red blood, under the illumination of the sun, looked extraordinarily bright and gorgeous. The weeds on the ground greedily absorbed the rich blood, trying to replenish the lack of nutrients, but in the end they unfortunately found that the blood condensed on the ground was more and more, more than they could absorb, and they were finally drowned alive in the viscous blood. The blood flowed slowly down the grass, and as it flowed through the bare areas, it would immediately become a blood-red color, as if the head of a leper had been broken, which was particularly shocking.
The lethality of the crossbow arrows is too great, many of the soldiers were directly torn apart, the broken corpses were casually put on the bodies of their companions, broken limbs, flying at will, no one knew whose arm suddenly fell on their backs, or who was the internal organs flying in front of them, sometimes, suddenly an eyeball fell in the mouth, so subconsciously opened his mouth, and swallowed this eyeball, but he didn't know what it was swallowing, and he licked his lips with endless aftertaste, but found that there was a faint smell of blood.
At the same time that the Turquoise cavalry was hit by the thunderous blows of crossbow arrows, the counterattack of the Turquoise people also made the Longxiang army very painful, and countless arrows were like poisonous needles of bees, stabbing at themselves all the time.
"Shield! Shield! Shield! β
The officers of the Longxiang Army were shouting hysterically, ordering the soldiers to combine their shields more densely in order to block the opponent's bows and arrows and reduce their own casualties.
"Puff puff ......"
A series of sounds rang out continuously, and they were directly hit by arrows, some of which were blocked by the iron shields of their companions, and the arrows cracked, scattering around, deflecting and shooting into the bodies of the soldiers, often accompanied by helpless screams, followed by people struggling to the ground. Long Xiangjun didn't look at the fallen robe, and immediately squeezed into the vacant position to plug the loophole.
The arrows rained down on the ranks of the dragon army, making a chaotic sound. Some of the arrows were blocked by the iron shield and broke on the spot, and the shafts of the arrows fell helplessly in a pool of blood; Some of the arrows were shot at the wooden shields and clung to them, and only the shafts of the arrows kept shaking; There were even some arrows that pierced through the gaps between the shields and shot directly into the body of the sergeant of Long Xiang; There were also some arrowheads, although the shaft of the arrow was broken, but the arrow that was hit off still found its own target, and shot the enemy's thigh or footboard, bringing bursts of screams and groans.
Those unlucky soldiers of Longxiang were shot in the arm, in the head, and in the thigh. Some people were hit by arrows in the body, and there were even people with foot plates. The screams and groans, accompanied by the whizzing of arrows falling, and the sound of arrows hitting the shield high and low, mingled with the humming of the crossbow machine behind them, intertwined into a symphony of death. Of course, no one has the heart to enjoy this kind of symphony, and no one wants to enjoy it.
The arrows brought severe pain, beyond the manpower limit of some soldiers, their shields, kept shaking, and some even fell directly, losing the cover of their shields, they could only become the target of the next batch of arrows in the rain of arrows. In fact, it was also the case, with the screams of the Longxiang army and the colonel, the continuous counterattacks of the Yan cavalry, the dense arrows fell again, and most of the Huaixi soldiers who fell to the ground became hedgehogs, and many of them were firmly nailed to the ground by the long arrows.
People kept falling, and the originally stable team inevitably had some confusion, making the gap between the shields bigger and bigger, however, their general formation was still very complete, after all, they concentrated all the shields, blocking the opponent's arrow rain on a considerable Cheng dΓΉ, although people kept falling, but the soldiers behind immediately stepped forward to make up, no longer looking at the robe on the ground.
"Isn't this group of cavalry crazy, rushing straight with crossbow arrows, don't you see that the horses are being rejected in front?" Xue Lei slashed a catapulted arrow and said angrily.
"General, I guess, these Arrows cavalry are cannon fodder, not ordinary Warriors. After that, more than 10,000 people were waiting for them to break through the camp. Guide Lang said with Lin Haoyu frowning.
"Break through the camp? Phew! Our Longxiang Army is not muddy, nor are we those soft eggs of the government army, if you want to take down the camp of the Longxiang Army, I will let them break their heads! Xue Lei spat out a mouthful of smearing and said hatefully.
The lethality of the crossbow bolt is obvious to all, if you can get to the enemy before you reach you. Re-fire one or more crossbow bolts. It will undoubtedly greatly damage the enemy's morale and reduce the enemy's combat ability. However. This wish seems very simple, but it is not easy to do. The operation of crossbow arrows is very cumbersome, especially these large crossbow machines, which are the most primitive machinery, with many parts and components, and they are also very fragile. Everyone knows how to reload crossbows, but to minimize the time it takes to reload them, you have to go through tens of thousands of rigorous trainings. The camp of the Longxiang Army here has a crossbow and arrow battalion and more than 200 crossbow machines. The biggest feature of the crossbow and the Fuyuan crossbow is that it cannot be fired continuously, and it takes a long time to reload after the launch, but for the galloping cavalry, a shot and reloading have been shot at the middle and rear of the opponent. In addition to being shot by crossbow arrows, many of the cavalry were trampled to death by the fallen corpses.
"Archers step forward, return fire!" Xue Lei ordered with a cold face.
Originally, in order to resist the rain of arrows from the other side, the archers retreated to the rear early and waited for orders, but seeing the appearance of the Ya people, they had to mention and send them out. In a short period of time, more than 1,500 people had fallen in the cavalry, and the Longxiang army guarding behind the camp also had four or five hundred casualties, but the cavalry did not stop at all, completely ignoring the life in their eyes, completely ignoring the whizzing crossbow loss, and seeing the knight's head split like a rotten watermelon, he also looked at it as if he had not seen it. Let the battle-hardened Long Xiang soldiers also secretly shake.
"Archers! Preparation! β
The archers, who had caught up with the rain of arrows from the cavalry, screamed sharply.
All the archers took a step forward at the same time, raising their longbows from the serpent's spine. Pull the bowstring diagonally upwards thirty degrees and pull the bowstring to a full moon state.
"Put!"
The archer officer let out a sharp snort.
"Woo Woo ......"
The dense arrows obscured the sun's rays, like the roar of death, flying fiercely towards the target.
The cavalry that escaped the crossbow arrows was attacked again by the rain of arrows of the Longxiang army, and in an instant they fell again, and the knights screamed, and the horses screamed, rolling to the ground, splashing bursts of smoke and dust.
The Arrows also fought back without stopping, and countless arrows also fell on the archers, and in an instant, countless Dragons and Dragons stepped into the footsteps of the Arrows Cavalry and fell. The arrows landed on the archer's body with a popping sound. The blood oozing from their bodies slowly moistened the surrounding land, then stretched under the toes of the surrounding robes, and then slowly flowed in all directions.
The remaining archers trembled and panicked, and some even thought about fleeing the place.
"Poof......
Xue Lei slashed over an archer who had broken away from the formation, and shouted angrily: "Those who dare to retreat! This is the end! The people are not afraid of death, are we afraid? Yan Guonan, arouse your fighting spirit and drive out these bastards who have invaded our country! β
The archer roared again, and one by one the arrows sank into the body of the Warriors, and similarly, the archers fell to the ground one by one, while Xue Lei looked at him coldly and did not say a word, but his heart was full of murderous intent towards the Warriors.
