Episode 3 Fighting Again (2)
Seeing the sudden appearance of enemy troops in three directions, Zhang Han's face remained calm and unchanged, and he immediately made a decision and issued orders to the battle array. The 30,000-strong battle group of the Blue Star Army immediately made a unified and neat mobilization, their front row became the back row, the back row became the front row, the front army became the rear army, and the rear army became the front army, they actually gave up continuing to attack the protective shield of the Qin army, and before the winner was decided, they turned around and retreated!
What kind of thing is this? Is it here to gather a crowd to make trouble, or is it to perform on stage? The Qin army hiding in the position was confused, and the soldiers of the Blue Star Army who connected to the order were also very strange, and thought that they would fight like warriors, but they didn't expect to retreat before they started?
Zhang Han was unfazed and firmly carried out the order. Before setting off just now, Commander Tang Long deliberately explained to him that his task was only to test the defense capability of the Qin army, and now as soon as he made contact, the Qin army suddenly sent ambush soldiers to prepare to surround him, which already saw the cunning of the Qin army and the reality of the deployment of combat power. At this time, what he had to do was to immediately withdraw the army to the Tianlun Peak position, and not to get entangled with the Qin army.
The Qin army naturally didn't expect the Blue Star Army to flee without a fight, and the three Iron Rhino Cavalry regiments that had just emerged had not yet killed the enemy, and the enemy had already fled, which made the Qin soldiers who were full of strength angry, and they didn't need to be ordered by the commander, they immediately patted their horses to follow, and chased after the Blue Star Army battle group.
"These Blue Star cubs, without that Linda here, are really cowardly as mice!"
Seeing that the Blue Star Army hadn't even fought, Wu Huan withdrew in such an embarrassment, and immediately showed a disdainful expression, and even ordered the Iron Rhino Corps to hurry up and chase in.
The Blue Star Army soldiers did not have spirit beast cavalry in this battle group, and they relied on the spells of ordinary monks alone, of course, they couldn't outrun the pursuit of the Qin Army's iron cavalry. Of course, Zhang Xi also realized this, and in order to get rid of the pursuit of the Qin army's iron cavalry and distract the enemy's attention, he immediately ordered the 30,000 battle groups to be divided into zero, divided into dozens of different battle groups, and retreated in different directions by fan-moving methods. At the same time, six battle groups using flying magic weapons flew out of the battle formation, forming a battle formation in place to meet the Qin army and cover the retreat of other infantry battle groups.
"All ready, attack!"
Zhang Han stood in one of the battle groups, drew his long sword, and issued several battle orders, and the grenadiers in the six flying battle groups immediately fired a large number of grenades at the Qin cavalry that was getting closer and closer. This kind of grenade newly equipped by the Blue Star Army consists of six launch tubes, with a rate of fire of one shot per second, and the range of the grenade alone can reach 600 meters, but if you add the grenadier blessing of the projectile, the range can be increased to two or three thousand meters. Each of the six grenadiers had a six-barreled howitzer, and tens of thousands of grenades were fired at once.
Seeing the power of the grenade just now, these Qin soldiers also had a long memory, and after finding that the howitzer fell, the cavalry hurriedly carried out various evasive actions. Qin Bing's spiritual sense quickly judged the landing point from the flight path of the howitzer on his head, and then quickly made adjustments to close the location of the grenade's landing point.
But what Qin Bing didn't expect was that this time, the grenadiers threw grenades were not like attacking the Qin army's base camp just now without a spell attached to it. Under the guidance of the grenadiers' throwing technique, the grenade shot was like an eye, and it actually flew around, moved autonomously, and shot at the Qin soldiers who were hiding in Tibet. Some grenades were about to fall to the ground, but they floated up again as if they had grown wings, shooting at the Qin soldiers who were constantly dodging on the side, and some of them were specifically aimed at places where the Qin soldiers were densely populated.
Seeing this unexpected change, the faces of the Qin soldiers suddenly changed greatly, and some of them hurriedly injected all their spiritual power into the protective shield to resist, or released various protective magic weapons, but most of them did not react in time.
The huge explosion instantly overwhelmed the three Qin army iron rhino cavalry troops, the power of the gun grenade was a little greater than the grenade thrown by the grenadier just now, and it was a direct attack on the Qin soldiers who did not have much magic protection, even if these soldiers were cavalry with all-round heavy armor protection, and the iron rhino beast sitting down was thick and thick, but it could not withstand such a fierce explosion attack.
After the firecracker explosion, a quarter of the cavalry and their mounts were directly killed or seriously injured by grenades, their charging formation was completely disrupted, and nearly half of their mounts were knocked to the ground by the shock wave generated by the explosion and the frenzied dodging of their companions, and they could not get up immediately. Less than half of the cavalry passed through the blast wave and rushed straight towards the Blue Star Army.
The eyes of these Qin soldiers who dodged the explosion were red, and the explosion just now aroused their strong desire to kill, and they all hit all kinds of auxiliary spells on the iron rhino sitting down, and the speed of the charge suddenly increased by a few points, and under a few flashes, they were only less than two thousand meters away from the Blue Star Army, and this distance was also the attack distance of the Qin soldiers' individual weapons.
In addition to the commonly used individual weapons such as magic weapons and swords, the main individual long-range weapons of the Qin soldiers are spell bows and arrows, which have a farther range and greater power than the magic bows of Yan Zhao and other countries, and can also attack in bursts. More than 2,000 Qin cavalry quickly shot tens of thousands of spell attacks, and all kinds of colorful spell arrows cut through terrifying arcs in the air, overwhelmingly shooting towards the Blue Star Army.
"The front row resists! The grenadiers continue to attack!" Zhang Han ignored the flying arrows shooting from the sky, and actually ordered a counterattack.
The grenadiers fired the grenade again, and this time the target was not the approaching Qin soldiers, but the Qin soldiers who were still in chaos two kilometers away and still hadn't recovered their formation!
This group of Qin soldiers didn't expect the Blue Star Army to attack again, thinking that some Qin soldiers had already been killed, and the Blue Star Army should resist them with all their might, but when the grenade fell on them all again, they were dumbfounded. At the same time, tens of thousands of spell arrows also fell on the head of the Blue Star Army. The grenades and magic arrows exploded violently one after another, generating an incomparably huge explosion wave and a colorful energy blast on the ground, respectively, and the strong explosion sound echoed in front of the entire Tianlun Peak Mountain Range.
A gentle breeze blew the dust kicked up by the explosion, revealing the appearance of the two teams. On the side of the Blue Star Army, a tall protective shield was erected on its battle array to block the attack of the Qin Army, and the Blue Star Army in the shield was intact.
The cavalry of the Qin army who were attacked by grenades was a different picture. The attack of two rounds of grenades was even worse for these Xiuzhen soldiers, even a heavily armored soldier with full protection could hardly survive such a high-intensity blast wave, let alone a sudden attack. The attacked Qin cavalry suffered heavy losses, and after the explosion, there was a wail, blood flowed all over the ground, the remains of the human body and spirit beasts were blown apart, and most of the more than 3,000 people fell in pools of blood, and the others were dying and lost their combat effectiveness.
"Bastard! useless thing!" Seeing that the cavalry was hit hard, Wu Huan in the Qin army's position did not seem distressed at all, but scolded his subordinates for being useless.
At this time, the Qin cavalry who were attacking the Blue Star Army also killed in front of the Blue Star Army, and the giant iron rhinoceros beast led by the giant iron rhinoceros beast with all the attack spells was the first to rush towards the protective shield of the Blue Star Army, followed by more than a thousand cavalry, they turned into a gray spiritual light, like a huge iron hammer, and smashed into the Blue Star Army battle array!
The loud crash was heard again. This time, the protective shield of the Blue Star Army could no longer block the terrifying attack of the giant beast, and the terrifying power of the Qin Army's traditional cultivation army was exposed at this moment.
The dozens of heavily armed soldiers in the front row who were responsible for resisting had no time to dodge, and were fiercely pressed by the giant beast, tearing a huge hole in the warband, and constantly pushing forward. The other cavalry followed closely, constantly opening the cracks in the Blue Star Legion, and at the same time, the Qin soldiers on the mounts waved magic weapons and launched ferocious attacks.
The soldiers of the Blue Star Army also showed no weakness, and immediately launched a counterattack, surrounding the Qin soldiers who came in from both sides, and released magic weapons and spells to engage the Qin soldiers. For a time, the two troops were fiercely scuffled.
But no matter what, the combat effectiveness of cavalry is still stronger than that of infantry, and this is the case for mortal armies, and even more so for Xiuzhen armies. In particular, the Qin soldiers, who used spirit beasts as mounts, relied on the strong protection of the iron rhino to rampage, as if they were in a no-man's land, ignoring the attacks of the Blue Star Army, and trampling the Blue Star Army soldiers in front of them to the ground. And most of the soldiers in this Blue Star Army have not experienced real battles, in the face of the Qin soldiers who are as fierce as tigers and wolves, although they bravely launched a counterattack, but after all, their experience and combat effectiveness are weaker than the other party, and under the crazy attack of the Qin soldiers, they suddenly suffered heavy casualties.
"It can't go on like this!" Zhang Han struggled to block the attack of an iron rhino beast, and tore the Qin soldiers above from the spirit beast to kill them, and when he saw his own casualties, he immediately felt uneasy.
At this time, a cold voice came from not far away, which made Zhang Han even more shocked.
"Do you want to escape? It's too late now!" I saw the captain of the Qin army's cavalry standing on the head of the largest iron rhinoceros beast, and smiled coldly at him, the five giant horns of the giant beast were aimed at him, and the next moment he was about to charge at him.
Zhang Han's heart sank, knowing that if he continued to fight, even if he could defeat the Qin soldiers by relying on the advantage of numbers, his own side would definitely suffer heavy casualties, so he did not hesitate to give the order to retreat again.
Thousands of Blue Star Army soldiers immediately released their flying magic weapons, left the ground without looking back, and withdrew in the direction of Tianlun Peak. The Qin cavalry hurriedly launched an attack, but the Iron Rhino Beast was only a ground spirit beast and did not have the ability to fly, except for the hundreds of Blue Star Army soldiers who were entangled and could not get out, most of them broke away from the Qin Army's attack.
"Don't let them escape, leave them all behind!"
Wu Huan waved his hand, and there was a commotion in the Qin army's camp, and more than five hundred huge figures rose into the air, which was the flying unit of the Qin soldiers, the Flying Crow Battle Group!
These giant flying spirit beasts let out a terrible scream, flapped their wings violently, and flew out a hundred meters away in a few flashes, swooping towards the Blue Star Army battle group that was not far away!
