Chapter 151: The Weak Mountain Bandit (Second Update)
"General, we have found the enemy and are now making a detour, should we release arrows?"
In the Chiyan Mountain Range, Meng Yi led 200,000 crossbowmen and 8,000 Qi family troops here.
Meng Yi looked at the back of the Chiyan Mountain Range, and he could indeed see the marching route of the 200,000 mountain bandits, and they had already reached the range of their bows and arrows.
But what I saw was only the vanguard army, and to put it bluntly, it was a group of mountain bandits who opened the way.
Meng Yi shook his head and said, "Don't release the arrows now, wait until the enemy's follow-up army enters the ambush circle, and then act after listening to my orders." ”
"Yes!"
Xiao Lingwei was beside him, and immediately whispered.
By the time the vanguard of the mountain bandit forces opened the way to the edge of the ambush circle, a large number of mountain bandits in the rear had just entered this ambush circle.
Zhou Chuan waved his hand and said loudly: "Attack!"
Now the mountain bandits are still on the road, without any defensive preparations, and if they don't take advantage of this opportunity to attack, when will they wait?
"Kill!"
He moved quickly and cut to the rear, while Zhou Chuan took the lead in charging with 100,000 elites.
"Hmph, carving insect skills, do you think I can't guess your plan?"
One of the holy bishops among the mountain bandits, looking at this scene, sneered, and immediately gave an order to the herald, and the herald waved the command flag.
Seeing this, the vanguard of the mountain bandit army immediately changed its formation, so that the pikemen arranged it in a defensive formation, the crossbowmen released their arrows, and the sword and shield soldiers covered the crossbowmen.
This defensive formation is very beautiful, and if the enemy charges, in the first wave, it will definitely suffer heavy losses.
But Zhou Chuan looked at it, but his face was full of excitement. Although the military array in front of him was beautifully arranged, the soldiers' arrangements were also perfect.
But Zhou Chuan found that the soldiers of these mountain bandit forces were all standing in very dense positions. How could he be afraid?
"Kill!"
On the side, Meng Yi immediately stood up, stretched out his bow and arrows, and shot arrows at the gathered mountain bandits.
Although the true qi in his body had long been suppressed by the military array in front of him to a negligible level, his bravery was still there, and the arrows in his hand were not affected in the slightest.
Patches of arrows covered the air, shooting towards the dense mountain bandits.
When the sword and shield soldiers in the enemy formation saw the rain of arrows covered by the sky, they were still a little stunned, and waited until Zhou Chuan killed dozens of people and cut a hole in the periphery of this military formation before they reacted to besiege and kill Zhou Chuan.
But by the time these soldiers surrounded them, the elite vanguard led by Zhou Chuan had already rushed over, and the two sides immediately started hand-to-hand combat.
These soldiers, but they are all martial apprentice-level cultivators, covered with black iron armor, swords and swords, the more fierce they fight, and they keep pressing forward.
On the other hand, the members of the mountain bandit forces, with their obvious numerical superiority, retreated step by step, crowded together with the soldiers who rushed behind, not only could not effectively kill and injure the enemy, but even loosened a gap in their condensed military formation.
Just because of this opening, the true qi in Zhou Chuan's body that was suppressed by the military array recovered a little, and the big knife in his hand was slashed with a knife, and he was already able to use the true qi in his body to cut out the sword qi.
He was even more brave, directly cutting off the retreat of the members of the mountain bandit forces, and even the three Holy Sect bishops were contained, causing a vacuum to form around him.
"This ......"
Zhou Chuan looked at this scene and was directly dumbfounded.
Can there be such an army? Perfectly arranged military formations, equipped with excellent weapons, the result is ......
In the face of the elite vanguard army led by him, he was defeated and retreated by him in the case of numerical superiority.
This is completely unscientific! How can the fighting power of the mountain bandit forces be so weak?
If these are the armies of low-level dynasties, then this kind of combat effectiveness is still within the scope of Zhou Chuan's understanding!
Meng Yi looked at it, but he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that the combat effectiveness of this mountain bandit force army is really not worthy of the name!"
"yes!
Zhou Chuan looked at it, very melancholy, and said: "Where did such a weak mountain bandit force get the courage to dare to attack the Wu Zhou Dynasty?"
"It should be the Luo family who gave them great courage!" Meng Yi shook his head.
"Alas, it's a pity!"
Zhou Chuan sighed lightly and said, "If the mountain bandit forces were replaced by the army of the Intermediate Dynasty here, they would never be scattered by us so easily!"
"But ......"
"Haha, we also have to thank the army of the mountain bandit forces for being so weak in combat, otherwise how could we win?" Zhou Chuan laughed.
When Meng Yi heard this, he also smiled, if the combat effectiveness of the mountain bandit army was comparable to the elite of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, then the Wu Zhou Dynasty would most likely be defeated and flee in this attack.
In the Chiyan Mountain Range, the Holy Sect Bishop looked at the combat strength of the army under his command, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he couldn't bear to look at it.
He knew that the formation of an army by the mountain bandits would greatly reduce their combat effectiveness, but he did not expect that it would be so outrageously low.
It's not as good as one-third of the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Wu Zhou Dynasty!
What's more, it is only the ordinary elites under Zhou Chuan who are fighting now, not the Qi family army of Qi Jiguang on the front line.
And now that they are facing it, there is no way to keep an eye on the changes on the battlefield. The bishops were really uncomfortable, the beast in front of them was too perverted.
Maybe today they will all become the rations of the demon beast in front of them, to this point, where can they still take care of the members of these mountain bandit forces.
"Alas, it would be nice to give me another half a year!"
The bishop sighed in his heart, if he had another half a year, he was confident that he would be able to train these 200,000 mountain bandits and greatly improve their combat effectiveness.
Not to mention being able to catch up with the elite troops of the Intermediate Dynasty, but at least they won't be as flustered as they are now.
At the same time, the bishops were still worried in their hearts, worried about their own lives, if they continued to drag on like this, they would definitely die, and they would lose two or three precious weapons in a row just by taking a few faces!
And in Chiyan City, Luo Zhong watched the performance of the army of mountain bandits, as uncomfortable as eating, these mountain bandits were like farmers who were formed in a hurry, and they didn't even have the slightest effect of the military formation.
Luo Zhong began to wonder if these mountain bandits were all those mountain bandits who fooled him and really recruited a group of farmers to send him to death?
With a few long sighs helplessly, Luo Zhong waved his hand and said, "Order, the 100,000 crossbowmen in Chiyan City will immediately go down the mountain and find a suitable distance for archery, and the mountain bandit forces must not be completely defeated!"
"Yes!"
The herald immediately gave the order.
Luo Zhong looked at it, and could only pray that his crossbowmen would be useful and able to gather an arrow array to repel all the ambush troops of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, otherwise if this continued, all the 200,000 mountain bandits would be handed over to the ambush army of the Wu Zhou Dynasty.
As Luo Zhong's order passed down, the 100,000 crossbowmen who were originally on standby in Chiyan City all rushed towards the army of mountain bandits who came down the mountain, and the speed was extremely fast.
