Chapter 321: Breaking the Formation Bed Crossbow

Under the full delay of the Linghui cavalry, the party army seemed to be mired in a quagmire, and the marching speed was extremely slow, and it took them half an hour to cover a distance of only two hundred paces.

However, in the end, there were many of them, and they still came to the pioneer camp.

"Formation, defense!" In the camp, the deputy general of the Falcon squad led the whole army to give orders.

The Linghui army on the periphery of the camp immediately raised their shields and formed a shield formation to resist the charge of the party army.

This camp was originally on a small dirt slope, and the party army attacked from the bottom up, and there were more than 1,000 archers in the camp who kept repelling arrows from the enemy.

The power of Li Jiazhuang's compound bow and crossbow is already strong, and at such a close distance, even a shield cannot completely resist the impact of the arrows.

The camp, which was already easy to defend and difficult to attack, wanted to capture it at this moment, and it was even more difficult.

The cavalry team led by Li Hao has also been entangled for half an hour, and there are injuries on both sides. However, the cavalry of the Linghui Army is wearing spider silk armor, and the spider silk armor is not much different from modern body armor. Bullets can be blocked, let alone cold weapons and swords.

Therefore, the casualty rate of the Linghui cavalry is much lower than that of the party cavalry, and even if the party can win this battle, it will definitely be a miserable victory.

But now Buller doesn't have the heart to think about this, he has lost so many soldiers, he can only go all the way to the dark, even if he gnaws raw, he must gnaw this camp down.

The battle continued, the casualties on both sides continued, and an hour later, seeing that the party army had repelled the Linghui army's shield array and had begun to attack the wall, Li Hao was still calm and stubbornly biting Bule.

Bühler's doubts grew heavier.

According to the art of war, the defeat of the Linghui army is already determined at this moment, and it is only a matter of time before the wall is breached. Li Hao, as the coach, should not be here to stalemate with himself at this time, and should organize the retreat of the army.

But the confident appearance on his face shows that he has a plan in his heart, and he is not afraid of the party army breaking through the wall.

Why is that?

Before the doubts in his heart were solved, there was a loud bang in the distance, and the wall of the forward camp was finally breached.

The party army was in high spirits and rushed towards the village with a roar.

An inexplicable uneasiness hit his heart, Buhler struggled to force Li Hao back with a knife, rode his horse to the camp, and shouted at the army in front: "Don't go in, exit quickly!" ”

It's a pity that it was too late, and I suddenly remembered the sound of a machine spring in the camp. Then a huge arrow as thick as an adult's arm roared out.

The arrows pierced through four or five party fighters and knocked them out of the camp. smashed over a group of party soldiers.

It's dusk and the sun is setting.

Then, in the dim light, Buller saw dozens of ballistas appear in the vanguard camp. The stout arrows were facing the party army outside the village, and the cold light was bursting, and the stabbing people's hearts were cold.

The battlefield that had just shouted and killed became silent the moment the ballista appeared.

"The wind is howling!" Li Hao smiled slightly and yelled loudly.

A few arrows flew into the sky, and the cavalry of the Linghui Army saw the signal, quickly got rid of the enemies around them, reformed into a formation, and broke through the encirclement of the party cavalry all the way and killed them.

Where did Buller still have the heart to care about them, and shouted in horror at the party troops who attacked the camp: "Retreat! ”

"Whoosh!" The sound of piercing the sea of hearts came, and dozens of stout crossbow arrows shot out of the camp, piercing and flying all the party soldiers on the outskirts of the camp.

The arrows left a hole the size of a bowl in their chests, and they could not live.

With such a weapon of war in front, and in front of the comrades who died tragically, the heart of the party army collapsed instantly, and the soldiers in front were so frightened that they cried wolf, turned their heads and fled back.

But how could the Linghui Army allow them to escape so easily after it took so long to lead them to death?

With a shout in the camp.

More stout arrows burst through the holes, killing the soldiers of the party army.

Even if they were forming a shield array, it was difficult to resist the power of the machine spring ballista, and the shield array broke in an instant.

The archers who have been aggrieved for a long time in the village are showing their might, and the arrows are constantly shooting out of the village as if they don't need money.

At this moment, the party army gathered under the wall, and the archers didn't even need to aim, they just kept pulling their bows and firing arrows.

The Linghui melee troops, who had just withdrawn to the camp, had now regrouped in front of the archers. After seeing the whole five-layer shield array, the party army couldn't even have the slightest idea of attacking, so they could only bury their heads and escape.

"The Formation Breaker Ballista really lives up to its name!" Li Hao looked at the battle situation ahead and laughed loudly.

This Array-Breaking Ballista is different from a normal Ballista, and is also a war machine documented in the Guide to Large Siege Equipment. Plus the spring matching of the previous compound crossbow. It's a lot more powerful.

This kind of bed crossbow can shoot up to a kilometer, and the power at close range is enough to penetrate the wall, how can the annoying flesh and blood be stopped?

Li Hao dragged Buhler before, just to keep this experienced general out of the battle situation, so that he had no time to take care of the changes in the battle situation.

The Linghui Army tried their best to slow down the pace of the battle, and in the end even deliberately let the enemy break through the wall, also to let the enemy army get as close as possible to the ballista and maximize its lethality.

Although the main army of the Linghui Army is still two days away from the front line, it will be much faster if only these few ballistas are transported.

In the era of cold weapons, the ballista was like a modern cannon bomb. Who can not be afraid of such a close face of killing weapons?

The formation of the army is dense, and once the front troops are out of order, the rear troops will be even more afraid. Seeing the power of the ballista on the front, can the military spirit of the party and the army not be chaotic?

In fact, there are only a few dozen ballistas in the Linghui Army, no matter how lethal they are, can they still kill tens of thousands of party troops? It's just that the party army was completely frightened by the power of the ballista, and once people were afraid, they would subconsciously run away.

And when the two armies are fighting, running away is the most taboo thing, because running away means fear, and fear is a more terrible emotion than poison, it will quickly spread in the army until everyone loses the will to fight.

Seeing the party army fleeing from the camp, Li Hao saw that the time was almost up, and raised the overlord halberd in his hand and shouted: "Brothers, follow me to rush down and completely repel this group of party barbarians!" ”

The cavalry team assembled again, rushing down in the shape of a sword, the party was disheartened, the morale was low, and there was a trace of resistance where the formation was quickly cut in half by the cavalry team.

The Linghui army in the camp also came out together, and cooperated with the cavalry team to continuously cut and surround the fleeing Linghui army, gradually encroaching.

When the moon and stars were scarce, there were really more than 40,000 party reinforcements, and only 20,000 remnants of the defeated army had escaped, and the other general army had all fallen on the battlefield.

In one day, the forward troops of the Linghui Army won two consecutive victories, destroying more than 40,000 enemy prisoners, which was a mythical victory.

The battlefield was quiet, and the soldiers who had newly joined the Linghui Army couldn't believe the results in front of them, and they were all stunned.

Li Hao rode a horse and stood in the middle of the crowd, he looked at the sluggish soldiers around him, and suddenly raised the overlord halberd in his hand and roared angrily.

This roar seemed to ignite a fire in the hearts of all the Linghui soldiers.

The soldiers raised their weapons one after another, and they were born with Li Hao's roar.

The roar of more than 10,000 people echoed in the night sky like a flash flood and tsunami. It strengthened the morale of the Linghui Army and also shocked the spirit of the remnants of the party.
