Chapter 66: The Great War and the Trapped Dragon Bay (5)

On the side of the Long He army, You He took the lead and also shouted:

Hey~Yo!

Hey~Yo!

Hey~Yo!

The trumpet they shouted was two syllables, and the trumpet shouted by the Five Elements Sect was three syllables.

Don't underestimate this subtle difference, at the time of tug-of-war, the rhythm of the trumpet, which represents the time of the unification and concentration of power, can often determine the victory or defeat under the balance of forces.

For example, the three-syllable horn, the accent is placed at the back, the first two syllables represent the left and right feet respectively, and the third syllable is the waist and arms to exert force, with a large stride and slow rhythm;

The two-syllable trumpet, the accent is placed in the front, the first syllable represents the lower plate and the waist at the same time, and the latter syllable is the appropriate relaxation, one tight and one loose, tight is offensive, loose is defensive, the stride is smaller, but the rhythm is faster, the strength is more concentrated, and the frequency of breathing and heartbeat is matched, which is obviously more advantageous than the three-syllable trumpet.

Of course, this is not to say that the Five Elements Sect is an amateur.

Because of the use of a three-syllable trumpet, you can advance faster when your own side has an absolute upper hand. They only wanted to drag the Long He Army into the pre-dug pit immediately, but they didn't expect that the Long He Army would still have the ability to resist.

In addition, the three-syllable trumpet is more suitable for people and cattle to work together.

Oxen do not understand human speech, they only exert force according to their habits, and they also need to be driven away by a whip, so the rhythm must be lengthened and the stride enlarged.

If they had adopted a two-syllable trumpet without running in, it would probably have been even more confusing.

As the soldiers came out of the fishing nets one by one, the originally suppressed forces were gradually released, and they were merged and unified under the short and powerful trumpet, and they could easily stabilize their pace.

Han Gongting of the Five Elements Sect frowned, and said regretfully: "This can't kill them, the Long He Army is really difficult! Fortunately, we have been prepared." The order was given, and the Iron Arrow Army stopped advancing! The Iron Fence Army and the Chain Army set up camp 100 meters away from the enemy army and blocked the enemy's way! The Vehicles and Artillery Army were on board!"

The herald wrote down the order, carried the command flag on his back, and ran to the top of the hill to deliver the message.

Han Gongting turned his head and said: "I can't imagine that the treasure of the town altar that has been inherited for thousands of years in Wushuitan, and the grandmaster-level artifact 'Ox Tendon Python Skin Rattan Silk Net' can't trap the Longhe Army!

Today, if they are allowed to go out and suffer some losses, they must be annihilated! In any case, their strength has been greatly reduced due to the restrictions of fishing nets! If they are allowed to slip away again, it can be said that it will be extremely difficult to catch them in the future! It is impossible to use the same strategy a second time. ”

Zhong Yulou said in high spirits: "Okay! It's time to go for a while!"

He Dali's side was in full swing, just found a little feeling, suddenly felt that the voice was silent, the atmosphere of the battlefield was very different, and when he looked up, the feather arrows in the sky had stopped for some time, and the archers of the Five Elements Sect were also retreating backwards, and the infantry behind was quickly interspersed with the front team, and in just a moment's effort, they used iron fences and chains to surround the Long He army in all directions.

I thought to myself: "With such a good opportunity, why don't they continue to charge, but instead adopt a defensive position? If they mobilize their elite at this time and launch a siege on us with lightning speed, we will not let go of the fishing nets, nor will we let go of them.

Then he thought: "The Five Elements Sect is not a fool, how can they not see this? The reason why they did not engage us in close combat was naturally because they had other better means to deal with us, which could minimize casualties and achieve the same victory at a smaller cost." They encircled us with fences and chains, just to prevent us from breaking through, and wanted to fight a war of attrition, a protracted war, and when we were exhausted and badly damaged, they would annihilate us in one fell swoop!

The fact that the enemy did not dare to confront us head-on is enough to show that our Longhe army is already fierce in the enemy's heart! Perhaps it is precisely by virtue of this military might that we have been left with a moment of respite. It can be seen that the troops are still fierce and majestic, and at critical moments, they can change their fate!"

Long Yuandong hissed: "Defend with all your might! Hurry up in the fishing net!"

Before he could finish speaking, five hundred meters to the southeast, there was a crowd of people, and 600 light stone-throwing carts were pushed up, one in the east and one in the west, arranged in dozens of rows.

This car has a wide chassis, equipped with pulleys, easy to move, easy to fix, each car is responsible for eight people, can fire three catties to thirty catties of stone bullets, the range according to the weight of the load, and there are far and near.

After the loader finished reloading, the shooter picked up the wooden hammer high, and smashed it on the pin with a bang.

The torsion and counterweight immediately came into effect, and the stone-throwing rod was wrapped in the stone bullet, swinging rapidly, whirring, until it was almost perpendicular to the ground, and suddenly slammed into the beam.

Six hundred stone bullets flew away from the basket, like meteors chasing the moon, smashing into the Longhe army!

For a time, there was turbulence in the air, and the wind was howling.

Long Yuandong's eyes narrowed into a dangerous needle-like shape, and the bullet clouds gradually grew from far and near, from small black dots to gradually getting bigger, just like the hideous faces that were shouting and rushing towards him.

He instantly judged that these stone bullets were not a big threat to himself, but if they were directly hit on a warrior below the fourth order, they would have immeasurable lethality!

The first wave of stone bombs was only a test throw, and in fact, only a few dozen of them hit the metal cover temporarily shaped by Long Far East, hitting out a basin-sized pit, but after all, the metal cover did not collapse, and no one was injured. Hundreds of other stone projectiles either flew too far or too close, or deviated to the left and right.

With the experience of test throwing, the stone bullet behind immediately adjusted its weight and direction, and smashed more and more accurately.

Wave after wave of stone bullets, incessantly bombarding, Long Yuandong's metal shield was too thin, and it didn't take long for it to be smashed into potholes and crumbling.

And He Dali's attribute skill "Star Shield Array", because of the distraction of tug-of-war, cannot give full play to its power and cannot protect all the gaps.

However, the soldiers of the Longhe army are either trapped in the fishing nets, or they are still in the tug-of-war, and they can't help themselves.

As a result, soldiers were wounded and stoned to death.

As for which warrior will be hit by a stone and which will not, it's all a matter of luck.

Looking at his comrades-in-arms who died tragically under the stone bullets, Long Yuandong's heart was dripping blood.

But he knew that at this time, he could only grit his teeth and persevere, until everyone escaped from the fishing net, and then make a plan.

If it's just stone-throwing, that's fine, fighting to kill dozens of people, can eventually rescue most of them.

His face sank like water, and he had already thought in his heart, and when everyone escaped from the net, he immediately launched a counter-charge in the direction of the catapult.

First, the movement of the vehicles and armaments is sluggish, and the combat effectiveness is low, so it is easier to fight; second, in the direction where the catapults are transported, the roads must be repaired to facilitate the procession.

With the help of these two conveniences, he was sixty percent sure that he could break out of the encirclement.

But Han Gongting, as a contemporary military master, how could he let Long Yuandong be happy?
