043 Fierce Battle
As a soldier who has fought face-to-face with the northern barbarians, Tian Zongqi can be regarded as a commander of no low level.
In the face of what was probably the most powerful cavalry in the world, Tian Zongqi not only survived, but also became the commander of a certain pier until the end of the test period.
Therefore, compared with other people present, his military literacy and battlefield command ability are the strongest, especially in the face of a group of rabble.
At this moment, in the face of the attack of a group of pirates, the timing of his order to counterattack the order was also wonderful, and it could even be said that it was just pinched to the most critical point.
"Bang bang bang-" "Whoosh-" "Boom! ”
Whether it was guns, bows and arrows, or two thousand enemies prepared in advance, they poured down on the attackers at the same time, and those pirates did not expect to encounter such a fire attack, and suffered a big loss in an instant.
Repeated screams came from the city, and in the first wave, at least 100 people fell because they were shot and arrowed or blown up by 10,000 enemies.
What's worse is that when the pirates attacked, the first row was all in armor, so when they fell half in an instant, the pirates' battle line immediately became chaotic.
At the same time, the sound and light after the gunpowder burst instantly made the eyes of the pirates who were originally in the darkness flash, as if someone had thrown a flashbang, and the whole person was stunned.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the defenders at the head of the city rained down the prepared rolling wood and stones, almost every one of them was able to hit the target in the dense crowd.
The unluckiest of all were the pirates standing on the edge of the ladder, because the mountain ghosts had just taken the opportunity to shoot over the pirates holding the ladder, and as a result, they were smashed by the fallen ladder.
In the chaos, the attacking pirates collapsed, and the first attack of the defenders killed not only their elites, but also a large number of small front-line leaders, completely destroying the entire chain of command.
At the same time, the loss of the chain of command made it impossible for them to organize an effective attack, and occasionally one or two erected bamboo ladders were quickly knocked down along with the people above, creating even more casualties and confusion.
At first, it was just a group of people fleeing backwards, but soon more people joined the ranks, which eventually led to a general rout, and a large number of offensive equipment was left behind.
"Yaga-"
Seeing the group of wolves rushing to the men, Kameda Ryuji drew his knife and scolded bitterly, and then commanded his direct ronin to contain the rout army and reorganize these guys.
It wasn't an easy task, but when the ronins slashed down a few disobedient guys, they finally stopped their decline and gathered together.
"Looks like the other party has two brushes." Staring at the pirates who were gradually closing up by the river, Tian Zongqi frowned, the attack just now made him think that the other party was a rice bucket, but now it seems that this is not the case.
"Brother Huang, how is the situation now?" Because there were no wounded in the last round of fighting, Liang En happened to have time to ask Huang Yongnian, the river god beside him.
"Tian Zongqi won a big victory for a while, but that group of pirates only lost more than 500 people, which is far from breaking the muscles and bones."
Although the priesthood he mastered had nothing to do with war, and he didn't have any experience in joining the army, as a yellow eel who had practiced in the Yangtze River for hundreds of years, he had seen many wars, so he naturally knew something about it.
"So I guess the other side will definitely organize a second round of attacks, and unlike this round of attacks, the next round of attacks will be all-out attacks, and it will also be an all-or-nothing attack."
"Why? Can't we wait any longer? Smelling the strong smell of blood in the air, Liang En asked with some puzzlement, he really didn't understand the point of launching another attack again in a short period of time after a fiasco.
The morale problem can be solved by supernatural strength, but this power does not come without a price, and Liang En can't figure out what kind of situation would force the pirates to make this decision.
"I don't know, but the guys should be in a hurry, like they've started praying." As a deity, Huang Yongnian could naturally sense what was happening on the edge of the river he controlled.
At the same time, Tian Zongqi and the defenders standing on the city wall saw the flagship of the opposing fleet raise a banner with Chinese characters written on it, and on it was written Hachiman Daibodhisattva.
This is the god of Yingzhou who represents the bow and arrow, and it is also the god of martial arts and the guardian god of the samurai of Yingzhou, and as the banner of the god is raised, a blood-red mist is born from the banner and spreads around.
"Now it's my turn." Seeing this, Huang Yongnian grabbed a flag from the void, and then looked at the sky and waved. In the next moment, a white mist emerged from the nearby rivers and lakes, and then spread towards the surrounding area.
The red and white mist kept colliding in the air, as if a special battle was being launched, and seeing this, Kameda Ryuji immediately ordered to capture the pirates who had taken the lead in escaping before and bring them to his banner and kill them one by one.
The red mist that had been given the Blood Sacrifice was fierce, and finally broke through the white mist barrier and submerged into the living pirate with a large part of it being worn away.
In the next moment, the blood-red fellows who had been stimulated by the ritual let out a loud shout, and then rushed in the direction of the River Temple under the leadership of the 300 ronins.
Probably because they had been defeated without hand-to-hand combat, they brought a large number of planks and shields from the ship to cover their attack.
On the way to charge, some people were trapped by the remaining traps and others were stabbed in the foot by bamboo sticks, but this time they fell and did not let the others waver, but continued to rush forward.
"Didn't they shield the pain?" Liang En had a puzzled expression on his face, at this time he was mobilized to the city wall as the last reserve because of the enemy's all-out attack, and he happened to see this scene.
In his mind, this kind of morale-boosting magic should make one evolve into an unbeatable warrior, not the current one, although there is morale, it will still be painful and affected.
"It's because I've weakened the other party's spell." Huang Yongnian, who was standing beside Liang En, smiled as he looked at the enemy. "I could have stopped the spell, but now that it's a situation that makes half of the spell work significantly better."
"So now is the time for us to try out our new gadget."
Speaking of which, Liang En also understood what Huang Yongnian was going to do, so he gestured to the soldiers below to unscrew the lid of the vat containing capsaicin.
As the lid was opened, a pungent smell quickly diffused in all directions, but soon the smell was absorbed by the surrounding mist, along with the liquid inside the barrel.
After more than ten seconds, the pirates who rushed under the city walls began to cough in the mist, and felt as if their eyes were on fire, and soon the pain appeared in the respiratory tract and on the skin.
The pain made them weeping and unable to hold on to their shields and weapons, and it gave the mountain ghost archers an excellent chance to shoot, sending their arrows into the enemy's exposed weaknesses.
"Zoom in on the gun! Shoot with all your might-" After seeing the enemies below gather in a heap again in a disorderly manner, Tian Zongqi immediately gave an order.
