The 36th Army Artillery Division and the Flying Feather Army II
And on the high ground in the direction of the fish mouth of the Flying Fish Pass, 10,000 archers were waiting for them, looking at the black dust in the distance. Unlike the Divine Artillery Division, the Flying Feather Army was carefully selected by Shiraishi himself from the legions. These soldiers had to be highly skilled in archery, but they also had to be strong in arms. The Flying Feather Army, like the Divine Artillery Division, is directly under the jurisdiction of Shiraishi. So, since Baishi had already transferred the Divine Artillery Division to Feiyu Pass, why did he send the Flying Feather Army to help in the battle? Speaking of which, we had to involve the black-clothed cannons. Although no one knows the power of the black-clothed cannon, Bai Shi and Bai Hui are very clear that the role of the artillery division is actually to destroy the siege chariots of the Chengtian army. In the Battle of Suizhou, the reason why Wang Ziang's 58th Army did not hold even an hour was because the power of the siege chariot was so great that even if the defenders had enough archers on the city, it would be useless. Because, the siege chariot also had the archers of the Chengtian army, and the archers of the Chengtian army were generally stronger than the Northern Navy, and the battle of Liucheng also proved this. Therefore, stopping the enemy's siege chariots became a top priority for the defenders of Flying Fish Pass, and this is why Shiraishi transferred the artillery division.
However, the black-clad cannon of the Divine Artillery Division was too powerful. Although these black-clad cannons can attack the enemy's chariots and cavalry from a long distance, and have a terrifying effect, Shiraishi can't directly use these cannons to attack the enemy under the city. If you can't get a shell down, you will directly blow up your flying fish pass. Therefore, the Flying Feather Army was ordered to provide short-range fire support to the friendly forces guarding the Flying Fish Pass, and used their superb archery skills to shoot the enemies who climbed the wall. The distance in a straight line from the Flying Fish Pass Wall on the Yukou Heights was close to eight hundred meters, and it was difficult for ordinary archers to even shoot the enemy at this distance. The first criterion for the selection of the flying feather army of Baishi is that the arm strength is superior, and the archery is secondary, and the bow and crossbow it is equipped with is a divine arm crossbow developed by the wooden door, and with the assistance of the unique mechanism of the wooden door, its longest range can reach 1,200 meters. However, the Divine Arm Crossbow has extremely high requirements for the user, and it cannot be used without hundreds of catties of arm strength. After the Ice God Baishi became the commander of the Menglan Legion, it took ten years to raise the army of 10,000 people.
Just when the Beihai army in the Flying Fish Pass was actively preparing for war, the Chengtian army outside the pass also lined up an attack formation. Four huge siege chariots lined up at the front of the attack formation. On the chariot, the battering ram that was several feet long pointed straight at the Flying Fish Pass, as if it wanted to smash the flying fish into fish sauce. At the rear of the chariot, Chengtian's infantry held shields and swords, and the archers bent their bows and arrows, and the clusters of arrows aimed at the Beihai defenders on the Flying Fish Pass, which was obviously inevitable. Hundreds of thousands of black-armored warriors gathered under the Flying Fish Pass, and the scene was quite spectacular.
Sixty-two-year-old Bai Hui looked at the enemy outside the gate with great disgust, looking at the iron hooves stained with the blood of his compatriots, and a wave of anger arose.
"The old man is going to play big today. Calibrate the gunners and give the order when the enemy's siege chariots have crossed a hundred meters of the attack line before firing the cannon. In addition, tell the Ice Commander of the Divine Artillery Division that in the first round of shooting, all the black-clothed cannons will be fired, and more than half of the firepower will be extended to the attack line for at least three miles!" Bai Hui said with a fierce face.
"Yes! No, Commander, Lord Shiraishi once told me that this cannonball must be used sparingly, and if this round continues, one-fifth of the cannonballs will be gone!"
I only heard Bai Hui say coldly: "I have the final say here, and when the time comes, Lord Baishi will blame me." You just have to give the order, if you dare to say more, the old man will cut you now!" After speaking, Bai Hui drew his sword and pointed it at the calibration gunner.
