Chapter 297: A Great Victory

The last time he faced the frontal siege of the Qiuerji, Song Qi could only brave the blow of the boulder rain to rush out from the direction of the city gate, because the path of the charge was fixed, the scope was narrow, and he was pressed and beaten by the rock-throwing truck of the Qiuerji, and he was killed and wounded, and it was unbearable to see.

And in this ambush battle, Song Qi took the initiative, and they lined up in an arc four or five miles wide, charging at the fan of the Qiuer machine. At this moment, he can completely adjust the rank and angle of the charge according to the strength and weakness of the opponent's defense.

Song Qi's soldiers rushed like crazy, and there were people in three directions who broke through the range of the catapult. The striking range of the catapult is between half a mile and one mile, and it is difficult to carry out an effective strike against the enemy within half a mile.

For enemies who break through the strike range of the catapult, the Chull machine can now only rely on the ballista.

"Shoot me the arrows!" Chull ordered in a frustrated manner.

The optimal range of a ballista is half a mile. But Song Qi's three current troops are also equipped with ballistas. The ballistae on both sides spread out in turns shooting in an arc of three or four miles.

Although the number of ballistae of the Chur machine had an overwhelming advantage, it did not cause much damage to the opponent. Because the opponent's team is spread out in a relatively open area, the distribution of personnel is relatively scattered, and when you see the crossbow arrows flying, you can dodge left and right to avoid it.

Although Song Qi only has a few dozen ballistas and can only send out dozens of arrows at the same time, the lethality of the Qiu Er machine is amazing. The reason is that the queue of the Chur machine is too tight and crowded, and any arrow that flies over can hit people, and even one arrow can shoot through several people. Because they want to hide, and they have nowhere to hide.

After a few rounds of fire, the Chull machine had already lost hundreds of soldiers and dozens of ballistae, that is, more than a dozen ballistas could not fight.

Although the other side also lost hundreds of soldiers, the other side did not seem to be afraid to retreat. They began to charge from three sides.

"Shoot me hard!" Chull roared hysterically.

Hundreds of crossbow arrows fired simultaneously in three directions.

And the people on Song Qi's side did not seem to be afraid of crossbow arrows, and they bravely walked between the flying crossbow arrows, like lions and leopards, rushing left and right, jumping forward. Although the crossbow arrows are fierce and lethal, the crossbow arrows have a huge target when they fly, and the sound of breaking through the air is also extremely loud, which is easy to detect and easy to dodge.

The group of soldiers who rushed to the front was already less than two hundred paces away from the ballista.

"Archers release arrows!" Chul roared and ordered the archers to release their arrows.

Ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, like weaving a huge net covering the sky in the air, and then pouring away like a dense rain line to the opposite side.

The bow and arrow are the most effective against enemies within a radius of one hundred and fifty paces, but the enemy is still two hundred paces away, and the bow and arrow are just a bluff.

The men on Song Qi's side waved their shields in their hands to block the arrows in the air and continued to charge forward.

Bows and arrows are limited and cannot be shot indefinitely.

Moreover, the Chull machine, which relied heavily on stone-throwing and ballista, did not bring many ordinary archers, let alone many arrows.

Chu Erji felt a little panicked in his heart, and could only brand the three-section stick as a cover, and he shouted to the soldiers on the left and right like hippos: "Hold me off!" ā€

When the soldiers on the left and right heard the order, they all held their weapons and shouted to meet the enemy soldiers rushing up in the first three directions on the left and right.

When the two armies were in a scuffle. The sword light flickered, the sword shadow flew, the killing sound shook the sky, the shouts shook the ground, the blood flowed and drifted, and countless casualties were killed.

Diandian Mao Yong Ao Leopard, who has just obtained the Sword of the Brave, Bagan Li Su Douqing Fighting Year, is like a tiger coming down the mountain, unstoppable and invincible.

Those who wanted to get the sword of the brave, such as Cha Nenggui, Lao Chu, Yi Fan, Gai Shida, Rondo and others, also rushed towards the enemy soldiers like leopards, brandishing their weapons, and bravely killing the enemy, as if cutting melons and vegetables, those who touched it died, and they died.

Solo was even more red-eyed, and his rope flew up and down like a flying python, sweeping one enemy soldier after another into the sky, and then fell to the ground and died.

Song Qi held a crossbow and fired repeatedly, and the enemy soldiers fell to the ground one after another like moving targets.

Seeing his soldiers fall to the ground one after another, retreating step by step, and seeing Song Qi's shadow approaching step by step, Qiu Erji's bold words just now to extinguish the spirit of this morning food have long disappeared, he understands in his heart that the advantage of his army lies in long-distance strikes, as for close-range melee, it is not Song Qi's opponent at all, he let out a long sigh, and quietly ordered the stone throwing cart and the ballista cart: "Retreat while fighting!" ā€

Although he gave the order to withdraw while fighting, this order became a word for withdrawal when it reached the ears of the soldiers.

As soon as the main force of the Chur machine retreated, the soldiers who were in the melee saw that the situation was not good, so they threw away their armor and fled.

Song Qi waved his army to chase and kill Sanli Road behind, and when he saw that Qiuerji's large army had run away, he stopped the pursuit.

Song Qi immediately stood on the gentle slope where he had blocked the enemy soldiers before, showing off his might.

He looked at the overwhelming dust stirred up by the hasty escape of the Chuerji troops, raised his hand to the blurred back of the Chuerji, and laughed loudly: "Chuerji, you coward, let you live a few more days!" ā€

Song Qi's generals and soldiers also shouted happily: "Qiu Erji, coward! ā€

Seeing that the churker was gone, they began to cheer, high-five each other, and celebrate the victory.

In this battle, Song Qi won a complete victory. 3,500 enemies were killed, 2,300 enemy soldiers were captured, 32 crossbow carts and 28 stone-throwing carts were captured, and countless armor and weapons were captured.

As for his own troops, there were less than a thousand dead and wounded. It can be considered a complete victory. They can wash away their shame and raise their eyebrows.

Song Qi knew in his heart that this victory was completely dependent on the terrain advantage. In the face of the pressure of catapults and ballistas, it is necessary to take a dispersed attack. If this time it is the same as last time, it will be difficult to win.

In order to prevent the Chur machine from attacking the city again, Song Qi ordered Bagan and Li Su to bring 10,000 soldiers and horses each and camp in the place where they had laid an ambush before. With these two troops stationed here, Qiu Erji should not dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step, and Tiema Pass should be able to sit back and relax.

Then the large army pushed the ballista cart, hugged the stone throwing cart, beat the victory drum, and returned to the Iron Horse Pass in a mighty way.

Mingyu had already received the report and knew that Song Qi had won a complete victory, and he had already taken the left-behind generals of the Iron Horse Pass to go out of the customs to greet the heroes who returned triumphantly.

Fifty miles away, the general Quan Dou also led a group of generals at the city gate to greet the defeated Qiuerji.

Qiu Erji turned over and dismounted, bowed to the ground, and said with a face full of shame: "I returned from a big defeat, and the general went out of the city to greet me, which really made me feel helpless!" ā€

Quan Dou waved his hand to Chu Erji, let Chu Erji get up, and sighed: "Mr. Qiu doesn't have to blame himself, he can only blame that Song Qi for being too powerful." ā€

Qiu Erji was still unconvinced: "It's just that I blame me for being too light on the enemy!" ā€

Quan Dou said with a gloomy face: "I have already received twelve gold medals, and I must rush back to Duo'an Mansion today." ā€

Qiu Erji said: "Since the general wants to go back, let Qiu accompany you back, so that you can take care of it." ā€

"Not necessarily!" Quan Dou shook his head, "Mr. Qiu still stays in Liuyun County and assists General Yuwen in defending the city!" (To be continued.) )
