Viscount Paul led his army out of the city, and after suppressing the rebellion in the quarries of Surabaya City, he personally led his army north to reinforce Taal City. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Viscount Arathi, at the behalf, led his army across the border and headed straight for the town of Yongning.

For the bandits in Yongning Town, Viscount Arashi did not take it to heart. Neither in quantity nor in quality, the bandits were no match for Viscount Arathi's army, and the bandits retreated again and again, and were finally forced into the valley of the Black Wind to the death. And Viscount Arathi's army won three battles and three victories, singing triumphant songs all the way, and finally advanced to the vicinity of the Black Wind Valley and set up a formation outside the Black Wind Valley. The bandit army built fortifications in the Black Wind Valley, and the Battle of the Black Wind Valley, which was later regarded as a classic military theory textbook, officially began.

The interior of the Black Wind Valley resembles a kettle, with a long passage in the middle of the opening, wide enough for two squadrons to walk side by side. The passage is flanked by towering, hard-to-climb peaks, and behind the ampullary is a plain large enough for tens of thousands of troops to be deployed here. At the end of the plain, there is a swamp, and at the end of the swamp is a road that leads to the legendary endless junction. Endless means endless, no one knows where it leads, and legend has it that it is a dead land, and whoever goes in never comes out again.

Viscount Arathi's army won three battles and three victories, and should have pursued it with victory, but now it was blocked from the Black Wind Valley without making an indifference.

"Can any of you tell me what the hell is going on! Our target is the pirate king Balzac, why the little bandit group here stopped us. "Viscount Arathi is furious!

"Lord Viscount, due to the terrain of the Black Wind Valley, we can't invest a lot of troops to form a formation. The brothers have been within the range of the bandits' firepower since they entered the valley, especially from the passage to the ampulla, and the firepower is so strong that even the well-trained Nord soldiers are miserable. ”

The camera pans back to the past.

A few days ago, the Arathi army tentatively entered the Black Wind Valley for the first time. The soldiers held large shields, step by step, cautious, but they were never attacked by the bandits on the opposite side. The soldiers of the Alahi army continued to advance, and after walking most of the passage, they saw the bandit army formation. After passing through the passage and coming to the entrance of the ampulla, when they were about seventy meters away from the bandits' phalanx, suddenly there was a rumbling of cannons, and one after another cannon stones fell from the sky and smashed into the crowd.

"Now, brothers, charge, let these bandits see the power of our regular army!" The general of the Arathi army gave the order to charge. The soldiers were like wild horses on the loose, and they launched a charge against the bandit army!

.

The bandits are in this formation, angry and fighting, and there are many flags. Wang Yingqiao, Anderson, and Cher stood on the watchtower and looked down on the battlefield. The watchtower was surrounded by one trebuchet after another, and the bandits were on standby, all of them looking at Wang Yingqiao's raised right hand, waiting for her order.

"Attack!" Wang Yingqiao waved his right hand, and the flag-bearer next to him waved the flag, and the bandits began to work in an orderly manner.

In the back camp, trebuchets are being made in a hurry. The main frame of the trebuchet is a lever, and on one side of the lever is a groove, and five soldiers are placing artillery stones. On the other side, it was composed of thirty-five ropes, and thirty-five soldiers worked together to bounce off the cannon stones at the other end.

Trebuchets are the most common weapons of war, levers are not worth much, and larger trees can be made. The most valuable thing is these dozens of ropes, and it is because of these ropes that each trebuchet requires a lot of money. But the leader of the bandit army has Anderson, and Anderson doesn't have anything else, and the money and Anderson family have!

"Ordinary archers, aim and shoot at the enemy in front of you! Longbowman, indiscriminate projection at the longest distance. "In this era, trebuchets are valuable, ropes are valuable, arrows are valuable, and human lives are worthless. Except for the Kingdom of Vekia, I really don't see that country daring to waste arrows so recklessly. "Whoosh!" Arrows rained down, which made the Arathi army, which was already under the bombardment of cannons, even worse.

"Strong crossbow legion, the longest distance indiscriminate projection!" A strong crossbow is a kind of crossbow that carries forward the tension. Unlike a man's crossbow, this is a crossbow that is wound with a pedal, which is much more powerful than a crossbow that is wound in the arm, and has an astonishingly long range.

"Shooting formation. First column, winding! The second column, the arrow into the crossbow! Third column, aim, shoot!! "The crossbow arrows were as big as the spears of warriors, and they were nailed in the direction of the Nord soldiers. The force of the crossbow arrow is too great, and the shot is either dead or wounded. The shields of ordinary soldiers could not resist the attack of huge crossbow arrows at all, and even the most powerful Nord guards were miserable under the strong crossbows.

"The enemy army is approaching, hand crossbow shooting!" The last round was the individual crossbows, which were much smaller than the giant crossbows, but they were easy to carry and easy to handle.

"Brothers, charge, kill them!" Arashi's front army was still charging. The Chinese army suffered heavy losses, and the rear army was slowly slowing down.

As one command after another was given, the bandits' long-range troops poured countless arrows and crossbow stones into the passage, and the cannon stones blocked the way of the soldiers behind, and under the suppression of fire, the rear army slowly retreated, and the Arathi army that had rushed into the passage was completely isolated in the valley.

The front army that stormed into the ampulla was completely isolated......

The commander glanced at the retreat that had been blocked behind him, and knew that he might not be able to escape death in the near future, so he just said...... "Brothers, now the retreat is broken." Backward is death, and moving forward is death! It's all dead anyway, and we're fighting with them! ”

"Fight!" The soldiers of the Arachi army in the valley charged. Instead of attacking, the bandits got out of the way. Behind the bandits was the army, and the uniform equipment indicated their identity as a regular army. If Arashi had been there, he would have recognized the name of the equipment. This is twenty years ago, the emperor Li Youqian commander Ashigaru.

The ashigaru also launched a charge, and it seemed that they were about to fight. Suddenly the ground under the feet of the soldiers of the Alahi army on both sides has fallen, and it is a trap! The Ashigaru soldiers in the middle were stunned for a moment, and before they could react, they saw the ashigaru charging on the opposite side stopped, and the ashigaru in the middle held their spears and waited, and the ashigaru on both sides took off their crossbows from their backs, wound their crossbows, and aimed them at the Ashi's army soldiers in the middle aisle. The commander of Arathi's army watched as his brothers were blocked in the aisles, and what awaited him was a rain of arrows in the sky.

The commander was eager to tell Viscount Arathi not to attack again, there were not bandits inside, but regular troops. They were greeted not by the broken knives of the bandits, but by the endless crossbow arrows of unified equipment, and the spears of Ashigaru. This Black Wind Valley is a trap, and this war is a conspiracy.

The soldiers of the Arathi army outside the valley could faintly hear the charging slogans of the soldiers in the valley at first, but it didn't take long for them to be completely silent.
