Chapter 156: Beginning the Ambush (1st Update)
"Today, I will let you know why I, Luo Zhong, am the coach!"
Luo Zhong's order followed, and the forces of various dynasties immediately accelerated their speed and bypassed the Chiyan Mountains to the battlefield.
"General, the combined follow-up armies of the various dynasties have arrived, should we attack immediately?" In the canyon, Qi Jiguang's personal soldiers said to Qi Jiguang.
Qi Jiguang stood in the formation, looked at the dense army in front of him, waved his hand, and said, "Withdraw from the formation, release the arrows immediately!"
"Yes!"
When the 50,000 crossbowmen who went up from the mouth of the canyon heard the order, they immediately drew their bows and arrows and shot arrows directly into the combined army of the various dynasties above.
Because of the terrain, they need to raise the angle of the bow and arrow by about 40 degrees, and this kind of semi-upward shooting is actually the most comfortable position, which is much easier and simpler than flat shooting.
There are so many enemies on it that you don't even need to aim at them, as long as they are in the general direction, it is enough to shoot the enemy.
"Woohoo. The sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air rang out in the sky.
"What sound?"
"It's like the sound of a crossbow shooting arrows in the air!"
"How is it possible to shoot arrows with a crossbow, how can there be crossbowmen here?"
"Quick...... Look below!"
At this moment, a frightened voice sounded in the army.
The army immediately raised their heads, and when they saw the dense bows and arrows in advance, their faces turned pale and they exclaimed, "This...... When did their crossbowmen touch it?"
"Quick, dodge, dodge!" the dense army wanted to dodge, and it was an easy thing to dodge.
Countless bows and arrows were fired, taking away human lives one by one.
The front army of the hundreds of thousands of follow-up armies combined by the forces of various dynasties faced an attack of 50,000 crossbowmen.
They could not retreat, because behind them were more follow-up armies, and they could only advance, while in front of them were still countless bows and arrows.
The bows and arrows in the sky were like meteor showers, and they were shot at these soldiers.
The most terrifying thing is that on these arrows, there is an iron tip of Mitsubishi, as long as it is shot into the body, the weak one will directly bleed to death.
At that moment, these soldiers fell one by one, like rice fields that had been hit by a typhoon.
"This ...... Where did this archer come from?" On the Chiyan Mountain Range, Luo Zhong, who was looking far away, looked at this scene and frowned.
He took a closer look, and immediately became furious, the damn horse forward general actually let the crossbowmen go out of the canyon. He never thought that this horse general would be so obscene that he not only let the Qi family army come forward, but also let the crossbowmen come over.
Didn't that idiot know the importance of crossbowmen in warfare?
"General, according to the opinion of his subordinates, let's order the front line to withdraw!" Behind Luo Zhong, a general with an ugly face came over and said.
Before, he was the one who replaced Ma Qian's position as a general, but because Luo Zhong disagreed, he didn't go.
Before, he was angry that Luo Zhong didn't let him go, but now he didn't mention how lucky he was, fortunately he didn't go, otherwise he would definitely be the one who took the blame now.
"No, there must be no withdrawal!"
Luo Zhong said in a deep voice: "We must drag the army under Zhou Chuan's command, pass the order, at all costs, we must let the army under Zhou Chuan's command be dragged down, and we must not let their army occupy the hills! This is related to whether we will win this battle!"
"Yes!"
The general is helpless, but Luo Zhong is the main general, and whatever he says is what he says.
When the forces of the various dynasties united with these follow-up armies, they gritted their teeth and rushed forward one by one.
Although there is a rain of arrows in front, once you retreat, you will be killed by the warlords, and if you go forward, you may be lucky and not die.
And this rain of arrows took at least 80,000 lives from the combined follow-up armies of various dynastic forces.
Moreover, the crossbowmen ordered by Qi Jiguang still did not give up archery. A million troops passed, this is a long, long dragon, and they want to force their way through, and the price they pay will be even more.
"Your Majesty, General Qi Jiguang has already made a move, and we can also start arranging according to the plan!" Li Chunfeng received the following news and said to Zhou Chuan respectfully.
Zhou Chuan nodded and said, "Fight according to the previous arrangement!"
"Yes!"
Li Chunfeng immediately went down to make arrangements.
In this big battle, he had already figured out how to fight, and now, he can finally start to do it.
After Li Chunfeng removed the 50,000 vanguard elites under Meng Yi's command, the remaining 200,000 troops were divided into four armies, occupying four points on the battlefield respectively.
But there is a flaw in it, and that is the canyon of the Red Flame Mountains!
If the army on the mountains of the Chiyan Mountains rushed down and occupied the Canyon Road, then it would be possible to break the arrangement of these four points.
However, this point was deliberately exposed by Li Chunfeng, he believed that with Luo Zhong's ability, he would definitely be able to see that when the time came, when the soldiers on the Chiyan Mountain Range came down, he could set up the Earth Fire and Suppress Dragon Array, and kill all the combined armies of all the dynasties in the battlefield!
After Li Chunfeng arranged it, Zhou Chuan also called Meng Yi.
"Go and inform Fan Zhongyan and tell him to be ready to send troops at any time!" Zhou Chuan commanded.
Meng Yi nodded, did not speak, and left here with a flash, to inform Fan Zhongyan.
On the battlefield, the war continues.
After the follow-up army of the combined forces of various dynasties paid tens of thousands of lives under Qi Jiguang's arrow rain, the vanguard finally rushed out of the arrow rain coverage and threw it into the battlefield.
"Kill!"
But when these people had just come out and the army formation had not yet taken shape, Li Chunfeng had already ordered a point that had been prepared long ago to attack and defeat the vanguard forces of various dynasties.
The gap in the combat effectiveness of the two sides, coupled with the fact that the combined armies of the forces of the various dynasties had just escaped from the rain of arrows, and they were flustered, and they did not have much fighting spirit at all.
In less than half an hour, tens of thousands of people had been killed, and many more soldiers were being killed.
This battlefield is like a harvester of human life.
Precious human life, here, not a penny is worth a penny!
When the soldiers in front die, the soldiers in the back must make up for them, and they can't retreat, because there is a team of overseers, and the soldiers who retreat will be killed by the people of the team of warlords before they can run out of the battlefield.
Even if the combined soldiers of the various dynasties had low combat effectiveness, with their numerical superiority, they also made the army of the Wu Zhou Dynasty pay some price.
However, this price is not worth mentioning compared to the combined fallen soldiers of the various dynastic forces.
And this vanguard held out for more than half an hour, gaining precious time, and more of the troops passing below the slope of the sun rushed out and threw themselves into the battlefield.
The elite soldiers under Zhou Chuan's command could no longer slaughter the enemy army as they had just done. The two sides formed a military formation, and the armies collided together.
In an instant, various limbs of the soldier flew into the sky, and blood flowed everywhere. There is only one thought on both sides, either you die or I die!
