Chapter 440: Baji's Strategy
The brightly colored Command Banner waved at the top of the forward fortress, and it was Gila delivering the order to attack from a distance behind him!
"Squeak-boom!"
In the deafening sound, the Flying God Crossbow attacked one after another. Super arrows the thickness of tree trunks flew across the three-kilometer-long camp, cracking apart near the middle of the long bridge, turning into thousands of iron pellets, whistling and pounced on the enemy formation.
The momentum of this attack was astonishing, as if the dark clouds in the sky were not carrying gentle raindrops, but hard projectiles that wanted to take people's lives, all of which were pouring down from the air at this moment.
This powerful weapon of the Mingyu Kingdom has been famous for a long time, its original design intention was to guard against those fire-breathing dragon monsters of the Otto Empire, each crossbow is erected with steel beams, and it is sixteen meters wide when spread horizontally, and the bracket for loading arrows is composed of three hundred-year-old nanmu as a whole, up to more than 30 meters, plus the steel cable for traction and the giant tension spring with the thickness of the thigh, the total weight is more than ten tons, and it is carried on three pairs of huge wooden wheels, which is quite agile to operate, but it also requires more than 100 soldiers to work together to play a role.
However, the low firing frequency of the Flying God Crossbow has always been its weak point, and every time an arrow is fired, all the staff must be busy for more than ten minutes before they have the opportunity to launch a second strike, so these more than 20 Flying God Crossbows have to be launched in pairs and run in batches to make the attacks continue. At the same time, the arrows required for the Flying God Crossbow are extremely valuable consumables, and this time King Mihuan has already done his best to collect more than 3,000 branches, in order to deal with Baji's tentative first charge, it is just a small test, shooting two or three hundred arrows. It's just a matter of power.
Under the bombardment of iron shots. The Tianlong Bridge is bursting with sparks. Ding sounded, but the railing made of special metal only left a few scratches in the tremors, and it was still undamaged.
In the firelight, the white-necked crow Shukin fluttered his wings like a ghost, circled around, and in a moment came back and landed again on Gulf's shoulder. Wow wow screamed twice.
"What the hell!" Gurph reached out to wipe the beads of sweat from the tip of his nose, and reminded Qi Lang loudly, "I didn't hit those grandsons, they were too fast, and the ones who rushed up in the early stage were all good at escaping, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they quickly retreated." Schukin suspects they have other tricks, and we need to be ready for a tough fight!"
Qi Lang frowned, and while fully exuding his perceptual ability, he glanced at Iglu. The snow wolf immediately raised its nose. Sniffing the smell of enemies in the air. At the same time, Adis, the one-horned leopard, also received orders from Quill. Shaking the silver horns above his head, he carefully detected Baggy's breath in all directions. Only Pube remained seated, looking at Igru with affection, and her attention to the battle in front of her had never been raised to the level of her master.
Smoke and dust billowed from the middle of the long bridge, blocking everyone's view and making it impossible to see the opponent's movements, but the warriors could still feel the danger slowly approaching.
With all the more than 300 arrows of the Flying God Crossbow fired, the surroundings were gradually returning to quiet. The water of the Tenzin River in Tung Chung tirelessly pounded the piers with a roaring sound, and the giants of the Love tribe behind still matched the long and short horn with their majestic "Whoa" calls. Together, the sound effects are like the prelude to an intense symphony, brewing and exploding in a steady and relaxed manner.
"Whew!"
The sharp-eared scale suddenly sounded!
It was Igru's long howl. Qi Lang heard it clearly, Iglu was warning that the enemy was approaching, and the direction they were approaching was under the bridge!
It seems that those Badji are far more cunning than imagined, they just sent a small team with nimble legs and feet, they tested the killer weapon of the human army, and made the most correct response at the first time - attacking from the bridge deck will undoubtedly cause heavy losses, but with the cover of the smoke and dust on the bridge deck, they can send a team of agile Buggy tribes to approach the enemy from the shadows, so that the battle will develop in their favor.
"Qiaoqiao, Mi Rong, keep an eye under the bridge!" Qi Lang shouted behind him, but he didn't dare to leave his combat post at this moment of relationship, because he knew very well that the enemy's frontal attack would be launched as scheduled sooner or later, and if the original strategy was shaken, it would most likely make the battle situation even more unfavorable.
"Archers, shoot freely!"
Joanna gave the order, and the 100 soldiers of the Hope Legion had withdrawn like a fan, and they all retreated to the bunker in front of the slope of the bridge, and prepared to shoot. Sure enough, in the shadow of the long bridge, thousands of bages were hanging from the smooth cylindrical steel beams, advancing at a breakneck speed. They were supposed to be the Buggys of the Great Ape Clan, and even though the steel beams weren't slippery, they weren't too much of an obstacle for them.
They were approaching the middle of the long bridge, and were about to come within range of their bows and arrows. The speed of the ape's heads would still be somewhat affected by the strength of their arms alone, at least in Joanna's eyes, they were like live targets, waiting for them to get closer, and the warriors' arrows would deal them a heavy blow.
At the same time, Shukin brought back news from the enemy line, and another group of Badge had regrouped on the opposite side of the long bridge, and was slowly advancing in formation. They were a group of rhinoceros clan Baji, not to mention their rough skin and thick flesh, holding a heavy shield in their hands, and posing as a forced breakthrough, wanting to carry the fierce attack of the Flying God Crossbow.
Gila once again sent a flag to the rear to prepare the Flying God Crossbow for launch, and this time he would delay the attack appropriately, lest the Buggys pull back again, wasting their arrow resources without causing any damage.
Surprisingly, the rhinoceros stopped halfway through, and linked their shields together, like a huge steel umbrella, holding up there to block a passage about 300 meters long. Beneath the giant umbrella, more Bucky squeezed in, hunched in, little by little, approaching the border in the center of the long bridge.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Once again, the giant arrows of the Flying Crossbow flew across the battlefield and flew above the heads of Baki's attacking camp, raining down the steel projectiles. Xin Zhengzhi and his guards manipulated the Flying God Crossbow with extraordinary precision, and every attack was just right, but while that attack ensured that it would not hurt the friendly fighters, it also made the opponent understand the pattern, as if the defensive position chosen by the Rhino Clan Baji at the moment was the area where the impact points of the Flying God Crossbow were most concentrated.
The rain of bullets smashed down, but the powerful attack did not return to the screams of the wolf. Baji did start to show damage, but the number of damage was extremely limited, it is estimated that more than 1,000 Baji were injured by more than 100 arrows in this round, but the huge iron umbrella was still extremely strong, enough to cover most of the Baji warriors who were about to attack.
At this moment, Joanna's nervous shout rang out from the bridge: "Those apes have other monsters on their heads, be careful, they are going up!"
Before Joanna's words fell, one figure after another was thrown up from under the bridge, and as soon as her feet hit the ground, she immediately jumped up, wah-wow-wah, wah-wah, wow-wow, wow It was an assault detachment composed of herbivorous Baji, who had been clinging to the giant ape Baji, only waiting to pass through the strike area of the Flying God Crossbow before rushing back to the bridge deck, using their speed advantage to lead the team behind them to attack together.
They approached, like black shadows, scurrying left and right on the bridge.
The Flying God Crossbow will no longer have any effect on stopping the speed of the enemy's assault, and a hand-to-hand encounter is about to begin!
Dongyi's eight hundred rangers had all stopped at this moment, gathered in a line at the north entrance of the long bridge, the war horses neighed, and all the warriors put their bows and arrows back behind them, and instead picked up their strange long swords, ready to charge at any time.
The three phalanxes of the Spinner's Frontier Army also began to converge towards the exit of the Long Bridge, forming a huge fan to prevent Baji, who had escaped the net, from penetrating into the depths of the hinterland. The stormtroopers' swords were unsheathed, the archers' arrows glistened with cold, and everyone moved their shoulders and limbs in order to exert their full combat power.
The horn whined more urgently, and the giants of the Love tribe quickened the rhythm of the slogan, "Woohoo, Hoo, ......"
Ardis and Igro let out a violent whine between their noses, and even Poobe straightened up, ripped open his throat, and let out a wild growl.
The south wind is blowing suddenly, and the dust and sand are hitting the face!
Suddenly, the air was filled with a foul smell - the smell of burnt knotweeds, rotting corpses, and the smell of Baggi's foul body, the smell was disgusting.
But the six groups of warriors at the bridgehead still stood proudly in the wind and were unmoved. They seem to be the pillars that are about to resist the turbid currents of the raging waves, and they are like the spine of the sky, about to support the broken sky! Although Badge has broken through the first line of defense with the help of ghosts, the mighty warriors are puffing up their chests, and the sharp swords in their hands are about to drink the fierce blood!
"Boom!"
The long sword was unsheathed, and the dazzling silver light shot straight into the sky, as if the dark clouds in the sky would be washed away by the holy light, revealing a ray of clear sky in all directions.
It is the sword of honor, a heaven-sent divine weapon, a supreme weapon! Even if the layers of mist obscure the sky and the sun, the holy sword will still condense the divine light; even if the ten thousand demons are overwhelming, the holy sword will still cut through the darkness and restore hope in the bitter world!
The fearless warriors shouted: "For the righteousness of a thousand armies, I will fight to the death! For the survival of all peoples, I will fight to the death! For the glory of my people, I will fight to the death!!"
"Fight to the death!" (to be continued......
