Chapter 701: Thunder Strike

Guan Feng's palms were full of sweat.

These four days were a torment for Wei Jun, and it was also a torment for Guan Feng.

Because she knew very well that the key to Wei Ba's success was that it took less than half an hour. With so many people and such a large scope, any mistake may lead to a delay in time, and it must be foolproof that Wei Ba has the slightest possibility of success.

In the past four days, she has done everything possible to do her part, but she still can't guarantee Wei Ba's success, because there are too few factors she can control.

Sometimes, she hates Wu Yi. Because Wu Yi refused to come from Hanzhong, this led to Wei Ba's lack of troops, so he could only win by surprise.

Sometimes, she would hate Ma Jian and Deng Zhi. Because they wanted to make meritorious contributions, they forced Wei Ba to the point where there was no way back.

Sometimes, she would hate Wei Ba herself. Because this tactic with a very low success rate was decided by Wei Ba himself.

However, what she hates the most is Zhuge Liang. She has always believed that her father Guan Yu's failure back then was inseparable from Zhuge Liang. And today, Wei Ba has fallen to this point, which is also caused by Zhuge Liang.

The four days of torment made her face slim and made her a little nervous. When she heard the sergeant in the lookout car report that someone in the northeast was approaching the Wei position on the other side of the river, she almost subconsciously screamed.

"Extended Shooting—"

"Whoa!" The herald replied loudly and passed the order on. Moments later, ten drummers beat the drums of war. The soothing sound of war drums suddenly became rapid, like a raging storm. Like thunder on the earth, the majestic war drums seemed to have a tangible and qualitative sound, crossing the turbulent water and roaring towards the Wei army on the opposite bank.

The shooters of the ballista and thunderbolt immediately went into action, adjusted their direction, and replaced the stone shells.

"Hurry, hurry! Flat triangle! The winder got busy, turning the leveling wheel at a rapid pace.

"Hurry, hurry! Change the number two! Add two stones to the counterweight! The loaders got busy, pulling open the covering from a large cart next to them, revealing a smaller stone bullet, and the two strong men shouted in unison. Each piece of iron weighing one stone was carried to the weight box. Fix in the right place.

In just ten breaths, the sound of the report came from both sides.

"The crossbow battalion is ready!"

"The crossbow battalion is ready!"

“……”

"The Thunderbolt Battalion is ready!"

"Perak B Camp is ready!"

“……”

"Camp Thunderbolt is ready!"

The speed of the soldiers was fast enough, but Guan Feng still felt that they were too slow, and the sound of the report had not yet dissipated. She raised her hand impatiently. Snapped: "Launch!" Launch them all! Burst shot! ”

Nanhu and Han Zhenying on the side glanced at each other. couldn't help but smile, feeling that Guan Feng was a little out of shape today. However, Han Zhenying can understand Guan Feng's mood very much. Because Dunwu is also on the other side of the river, if there is a slight difference, she may not be able to see Dunwu.

Han Zhenying stretched out her hand and held Nanhu's hand, slightly straining. Nanhu understood and nodded.

The ballista roared, the sound of the crossbow crashing like fried beans, and a rain of arrows tore through the damp and cold fog, and with an ominous roar, pounced on the Wei positions on the other side of the river. There was a dull scream, and dozens of spear-like arrows sped away, disappearing into the darkness.

The thunderbolts roared angrily, the huge wooden tops rose and fell, and the soldiers held their breath and put all their hearts and minds on their work. The thunderbolt with the counterweight vibrated even more when it was launched, and even the surrounding land trembled, and hundreds of thunderbolts were launched at the same time, like ten thousand horses galloping.

The Wei soldiers who were stubbornly resisting heard the sudden strengthening sound in the air, and their hearts swept through a strong sense of unease. They had been fighting against the Shu Han army across the river for so many days, and they had become accustomed to their crossbow carts and thunderbolts, and they had had enough of these powerful ordnance, and they had paid a heavy price for it. But now, they find that the suffering has only just begun.

Because the ominous howling of crows in the air suddenly doubled in intensity, and moreover, it was even more terrifying.

Before the Wei army could react, a rain of arrows and stone bullets had already penetrated the darkness and appeared in front of them.

Arrows rain down and bounce like hail.

The soldiers of the Wei army lined up near the river were inexplicably frightened, and their legs trembled.

However, they soon noticed that the arrows and stone projectiles swept over their heads and swooped directly behind them, with only sporadic arrows and stone projectiles landing on their positions.

The target of the Shu Han army was not them, but the positions behind them.

In an instant, a wave of happiness welled up in their hearts, and then turned into fear.

Can the range of the Shu Han army be even farther? They were eighty to one hundred and twenty steps away from the Shu Han army's ballista position, which was basically the limit of the range of the ballista. The Thunderbolt was still behind the Ballista, about 150 to 200 paces apart, which was also the range limit of the Thunderbolt. Because of this, the generals who led the army would stay behind them with the personal guard battalion with peace of mind.

Now, the sudden increase in the range of the Shu Han army will cause fatal damage to the main general and his personal guards.

Could it be that the Shu Han army has been busy for a few days, and they are preparing these thunderbolts and ballistas that shoot farther? Or did they not go all out in the first place, and only came up with a real killing weapon at this moment?

The Wei soldiers in the front couldn't figure it out, and the Wei soldiers in the back didn't have time to think about it. They are all the personal guard battalions of the commander, and when the battle situation is tense, they are fire brigades, and where there is danger, they will rush to support wherever they are. In normal times, they are also the supervising team, if there is a passive slack, or even escape, they have to step forward to block, or even directly kill in front of the battle. However, their position is relatively safe, and they are always out of the opponent's attack range. They watched their comrades being beaten by those ballistas and thunderbolts, and their heads were broken and their arms and legs were broken, but they did not have to bear that kind of danger.

But suddenly, the arrows and stone projectiles of the Shu Han army broke through the previous range and fell on their heads.

The unsuspecting officers and soldiers of the Wei army were suddenly caught off guard. They were defenseless at all, and they didn't even have time to raise their shields. It was devastated.

A sharp arrow pierced through the body of the Wei army, splashing blood flowers, and the screams were endless, and the soldiers of the personal guard battalion, who were originally standing like pines, suddenly fell down like wheat straw that had been cut down.

The soldiers of the guard battalion all have iron armor, and their protective ability exceeds that of ordinary soldiers, but they also can't stop the stone bullets and giant arrows of the Shu Han army. Beyond the reach of the giant arrow, it is indestructible.

The Wei army suffered an unexpected heavy blow. The rear camp positions were in disarray. In an instant, it was like a meadow trampled by 10,000 bison, and it was unrecognizable. One by one, the wounded soldiers groaned in a pool of blood, and a layer of thatch composed of arrow feathers suddenly appeared on the ground, and round stone bullets were hidden in it. Some of them were stained with bright red blood. Some of them were stained with white bone residue.

The fortunate Wei soldiers were in shock. Looking at all this in front of them, they couldn't accept this fact. I can't believe my eyes.

Is this still the same imposing position just now? Is this a slaughtering field?

Guan Feng couldn't understand the mood of the Wei soldiers at the moment, even if she knew, she would not have the slightest pity and sympathy for these Wei soldiers. She only hated that she couldn't kill all those Wei soldiers. Her face was pale, her fists clenched, and she gave orders one after another.

"Launch! Launch! Launch! ”

"Boom, boom!" Thunderclap roared.

"Whoosh!" The ballista roared.

Guan Feng raised his head, looked at the soldiers on the lookout car, and stared closely at the red flag in his hand.

Suddenly, the soldier shouted: "Our army is approaching, five hundred paces!" ”

"Three hundred steps!"

"Two hundred steps!"

Guan Feng yelled: "Stop launching-"

"Stop firing—" The herald shouted as he waved his red flag and ran towards the front. When the drummers heard the command, they suddenly slammed three times.

"Knock knock!"

Hearing the sound of war drums, the busy ballista and thunderbolt all stopped moving, and there was a roar of "stop firing" everywhere, and the position of the repeater and thunderbolt that was still roaring just now suddenly quieted down, and there was no longer the tremor of the thunderbolt when the thunderbolt was launched, and there was no longer the roar of the repeater when the repeater was launched, only the rapid gasping of the soldiers.

The sound of "stop firing" was so loud that the Wei troops on the other side could hear it clearly. However, the Wei soldiers did not get the slightest sense of rejoicing. Because they saw a more ferocious enemy.

A thousand soldiers, under the leadership of Wei Wu, like a wild buffalo running wildly, unstoppably entered the position of the Wei army that had just suffered heavy losses. Wei Wu rushed to the front, stepped like flying, roared, raised his shield and crashed in, knocking a Wei soldier who met him unsteadily, and fell backwards. Before he could gain a firm foothold, the battle knife in Wei Wu's hand flashed, and his head had already been chopped off.

"Kill!" Wei Wu's face was hideous, his long knife flashed, and he killed three people in a row in a moment, and the blood stained his face red, making him look even more like a killing god from hell.

When they accepted the mission, the soldiers knew very well that time was of the essence. At this moment, in the face of the Wei army, which had just been devastated and had not yet come to its senses, and had no formation at all, they did not have any mercy, no mercy, and no hesitation, and poured into the position of the Wei army with the most skilled five-man formation as a unit, like mercury.

It was a one-sided killing.

In less than a meal, the Wei army suffered two heavy losses in succession. First of all, it was ravaged by the long-range attack of the Shu Han army, and almost half of the soldiers didn't even react to what was going on, so they died. Now they have encountered the attack of a thousand soldiers, and they feel that it is even more deadly than the long-range strike just now. After all, sharp arrows and stone bullets are not long-sighted, and if you are lucky, you may still be able to escape. But the soldiers had long eyes, and the sharp swords in their hands also had long eyes, and the swords and knives were all aimed at their vital points, and they did not give them any way to live.

The Wei general's heart was as dead as ashes, and he was stunned by the rapid attack. Looking at the Wei family's military guards who came enthusiastically, his legs trembled and sweat was like pulp.

"Kill!" Wei Wu rushed to the scene, and with a long whistle, the war knife smashed two spears, cut the necks of the three guards, and cut off the heads of the Wei generals with one sword. The head was rushed up by the hot blood in the cavity, and before it landed, it was grabbed by a warrior, inserted into the tip of the spear, and raised high.

The Wei generals were given the head, and none of the guards were spared, and the Wei army quickly collapsed...... (To be continued......)
