Military Aircraft Division.

Xie Feng paced back and forth, and said with annoyance: "General Ben was careless for a while, but he didn't expect that fine work to be so cunning. ”

Liu Ruyan stood on the lower side and hung his head: "It's because the mark is ineffective, presumably that the fine work didn't dare to risk showing up and destroying this batch of weapons that served as bait, so he hijacked Gong Yu." ”

Xie Feng looked at her and asked, "The top priority is to rescue Gong Yingyu from the enemy's hands, are you sure of this?" ”

"Under the mark, it will live up to the general's trust."

She had a hunch that the Xuankun seal would appear soon.

"Newspaper—"

An envoy carrying many flags rushed to Xie Feng to report.

"According to the battle report from the front, after the declaration of war order was issued, our army and the Jiangnan Naval Division have been assembled. We are now waiting for the General's instructions. ”

Xie Feng put on his armor, put on his helmet, and ordered: "Ben will personally go into battle and command the overall situation." ”

"Whew-"

Xie Feng was about to step out of the camp, he suddenly turned his head and glanced at Liu Ruyan, his eyes looked solemn.

The next moment, he silently turned around and went to the front line with the envoy.

Liu Ruyan watched him drift away, and then, she also put on her armor.

If you want to infiltrate the Southern Han military camp, rescue Gong Yuyu, and find the Xuankun seal, the only way is to break through the 100,000 soldiers and horses and the heavily armored elephant array.

Nine deaths and one life!

She steadied herself, took the Cold Moon Knife and spear, and stepped out of the camp.

Although the national strength of the Southern Han Kingdom is weak, the army is known for its courage and good fighting, especially in Lingnan and Guangxi, and the people have always been fierce.

This time it was bound to meet with strong resistance from the local soldiers, and a fierce battle was inevitable.

Lotus Peak, the two armies confronted each other.

The peaks and mountains are backed by the vast river, and in the early morning the fog dissipates and the army gathers here.

In the wilderness of Noda, there were dense chariots, horses, and soldiers.

Xie Feng ordered nearly a thousand three-bow bed crossbows to line up in front of the formation, and each ballista was equipped with multiple crossbowmen.

Behind the bed crossbow are well-trained crossbowmen and archers. Liu Xin was among this group of crossbowmen, he was holding a crossbow and a bow, and he was also ready for battle.

The two wings of the formation were elite cavalry and infantry, Liu Ruyan, Shen Yanchu, and Dong Qingxian stood in the middle of this group of people with spears in their hands.

Opposite them, the Southern Han army put the war elephants at the forefront.

The elephants were well-armed, with heavy armor and several layers of fish-scale steel armor on the outside. The head, chest, abdomen, and legs were protected with steel plates, while the ivory, which was the main weapon, was covered with sharp spear tips.

Above the war elephant, a tower is carried.

The building is divided into three floors, the first floor is for the drivers, the second is for the crossbowmen, and the top floor is for the sentinels.

According to the deployment of the Southern Han army, the war elephants charged ahead, and the cavalry and infantry followed.

With the beating of drums, a thousand war elephants rushed from the flat land from afar with the momentum of overwhelming mountains and seas.

At a glance, it seems that a black cloud of ink is approaching.

Xie Feng sat on horseback with the reins in his hand, and there was a rumbling elephant sound in his ears, and he frowned, and found that the stones around him were actually rolling down.

The first time I saw the elephant herd, the behemoth was like a mound, even if the war horse under his seat had been on the battlefield for a long time, at this time, in the face of a completely unfamiliar species, it was inevitable to dig the horse's hooves uneasily, and retreat in panic.

In the vast wilderness, in the dust, the armored war elephants gradually showed their shapes.

The Song army, who was standing at the forefront, all raised their heads and looked up at the behemoth several stories high.

In such a posture, Song Jun was provoked into a cold sweat.

Xie Feng immediately ordered, "The bed crossbowman listens to the order and attacks the enemy with fire!" ”

As his words fell, some soldiers raised their flags, and the military order was quickly conveyed.

Seeing this, the crossbowmen in front of the formation drew their bows, twisted their strings, and filled the tail end of the giant arrow shaft with black powder.

Black powder, derived from the alchemy of alchemy.

Nowadays, black powder has been introduced into the military as a new type of combat weapon, which is used in fire attack tactics along with fierce fire oil. The gunpowder of this period, which was not very explosive, was mainly used for arson.

I saw countless boiling and burning rockets longitudinally high in the air, like meteor meteors, cutting across the field.

The range of the three-bow bed crossbow is amazing, and the lethality is unprecedented.

Before the herd reached the battle zone, it was disrupted by an oncoming surprise attack.

The strongest defense of the war elephant was shot by a triangular armor-piercing arrow, and drove straight in, through the scale armor, through the thick steel plates, through the cowhide lining, and finally through the flesh of the war elephant.

The war elephant fell to the ground heavily, and the soldiers in the tower were thrown out, and the flesh and blood were blurred.

Seeing this, Xie Feng ordered again, and the Song army concentrated its firepower and continued to attack!

The three-bow bed crossbow and the ordinary crossbow bow are used to shoot arrows in an orderly manner.

The arrows carried flames, covering the sky and the sun, and the longitudinal Southern Han elephant array, the entire elephant array was instantly shrouded in purgatory.

Except for the war elephants that fell to the ground and died, the other elephants and soldiers readjusted their formations and resisted in the face of the rain of arrows.

Batch after batch of soldiers fell.

The two armies confronted each other - crossbowmen confronted, infantry charged, cavalry trapped, and their swords were beheaded.

Countless war horses fought together, fighting each other constantly, and the scene was bloody and brutal.

This is the battlefield of life and death!

Liu Xin and the others, protected by shield bearers, fired arrows at the enemy. The companions around him died one after another, and Liu Xin was panicked, but he didn't dare to stop firing the arrows for a moment.

Until the shield hand in front of him fell to the ground and died, Liu Xin suddenly froze.

He rolled his eyes to the familiar face.

I still remember when I first entered the barracks, he lived in the same tent as the shieldman.

They were whipped and screamed by the Iron Three Whips, and when their buttocks were not so painful, the two of them sneaked to catch the hares, but the hare did not catch them, but they accidentally caught a raccoon dog.

The two pondered that this raccoon dog was really pitiful, so they simply put it back in the mountains.

A few months later, one of them went to the crossbow array, and the other went to the shield hand camp, becoming good brothers in the true sense of life and death.

"Abu—" Liu Xin shouted in a hoarse voice.

The shield-bearer closed his eyes in front of him.

Liu Xin gasped, and his chest hurt like a pinprick.

He clenched his fists, the green tendons on his neck bulged faintly, choking on the sadness and helplessness of this moment, and swallowing the despair and tears of this moment.

Behind him, the sound of fighting still resounded.

Liu Xin turned his head blankly, the lead-gray sky reflected the crimson earth, and the ground was lying with corpses for thousands of miles, war elephants, horses, and comrades around him.

These people used to stand with him in the school field and study hard, soak in the river, laugh and splash water, squat in the trench and dig desperately.

So alive.

So dazzling.

And now, with their eyes closed, they lay on the ground.

His face was covered with blood, his body was broken, waiting for the maggots to eat and gnaw it away, becoming a miserable white and dilapidated skull and a mass grave.

Battles are always accompanied by slaughter, whether they are friend or foe, invaded and invaded, unified and unified.

Liu Xin hung his head silently, and the soles of his shoes were already red with blood.

He couldn't call out all the soldiers' names.

But he knows that these people are all like him, there are fathers and elders and even wives and children in the family, and they look forward to it every day, watch it every month, and wait every year.

In the end, in the rain of Qingming in the coming year, three incense sticks were burned and three souls were shouted.
