Chapter 30: The East Gate Wins

Up to this point, Hanguang hadn't even informed the people in the city to go out of the city to answer. Because you can do the math casually, even if many people are afraid of Hanguang's identity and don't dare to do anything to him, but the people who belong to the Zhenlian caravan around Hanguang are afraid that it will be bad.

So Hanguang fortunately didn't notify the people in the city, anyway, 10,000 people were enough for blitzkrieg, and it was more than enough to notify the people in the city to kill out of the city at that time.

There was no loud noise, and under the command of Hanguang, the cavalry of the south gate and the west gate launched an attack on the enemy at the same time.

The sudden attack of the light cavalry gave a strong blow to the thief army who was unprepared for the arrival of the light cavalry and was besieging the city at the west gate.

Seeing that the South Gate and the West Gate were attacked, there was no need to listen to the orders of the big boss, so the three masters immediately dispatched 3,000 "mysterious troops" to support the troops at the West Gate, and dispatched another 4,000 "mysterious troops" to go to the South Gate through the West Gate to block and support the troops of Songcheng to enter the city.

This mysterious unit is slow to move because of the heavy loads it is carrying. The big box was pushed by four people, and it was very difficult. When they reached the northeast corner of Matsujo, they opened the boxes one after another. In the box, there were ballistas.

Hanguang was shocked, although he had already guessed in his heart, he definitely didn't guess that it was a ballista

Bows and arrows, which are very common in the Kamikaze Continent, are equipped with archers in basically every army. Crossbowmen, however, were never seen in the regular army.

Because all archers believe that those crossbowmen use crossbows to attack, which does not require any skill or training, and that everyone can use it, is a complete insult to the arrow. Furthermore, because of the archers' opposition, the crossbow was slowly despised and considered the most indiscriminate means. There is also a lack of personnel inflow, and the crossbow, a weapon that has not been available for a long time, has slowly disappeared in the long river of history.

But today, there is an army of ballistae that numbered 10,000 people, and the number of ballistae was more than 2,000.

The cavalry feared pikemen the most, but pikemen were rare, so the best way to prevent cavalry from storming the infantry was the archers. Against archers, the cavalry could use the powerful momentum of the horses to block the arrows with their weapons.

And this kind of crossbow, only two or more people can pull the bowstring together, and the arrows sent out are very powerful, and it is difficult for ordinary cultivators of the physical training realm to take it, let alone the light cavalry that is charging.

Fortunately, the thieves opened the box and assembled the arrows for some time, and it was in this time. Fu Zhu had already rushed to these ballistae with a hundred people from the most elite Zhenlian caravan, and the one thousand light cavalry that followed was also not far behind.

Of the 7,000 crossbowmen, about 2,000 were fully equipped with heavy infantry equipment and were responsible for close defense. To deal with an ordinary army, more than 2,000 people were enough, but what they were facing was a hundred people from the Zhenlian caravan, all of whom were a terrifying team composed of cultivators above the Quenching Mind Realm.

Rushing into the formation, Fu Zhu and the others were crazy killers, most of the crossbowmen did not have any armor, and even the melee weapon was just a bayonet. It can't withstand such an impact at all, and in some places, there are even cases of escape.

Finally, a handful of people were ready to fire their crossbows and fired the first wave of arrows.

The speed of the arrow was very fast, and it was also very long and heavy, three or four feet long, and about an inch wide. The weight and speed are unbeatable.

The arrows had a great impact on the hussars, and in a wave, the hussar army, which had not suffered casualties in the previous battle, lost more than a hundred men in this volley, and a hundred people or horses were wounded and fell to the ground.

The cold light could see all this clearly in the distance—the power of the crossbow was so terrifying.

A bigger question was entangled in Han Guang's heart, this was only a small part of the crossbow fired, although the attack speed was slow, but such a large arrow was very suitable for attacking dense formations. And how could such a sharp weapon be abandoned by the army because no one could afford it?

(Well, some people may ask why pig's feet don't go to the battlefield, which seems to be better.) But our cold light is now just stepping into the yin and yang realm...... The battle is fierce, the sword and gun have no eyes, and although there is a strong protagonist aura, it is difficult to guarantee that this strength will not make mistakes on the battlefield. In order to balance the setting, Hanguang should stay in the rear and command...... )

The three masters who were watching the battle from a distance did not expect that the 100 people who took the lead in the assault would have such an impact on the 7,000-strong team, and immediately went to report to the big masters. When the big boss heard the news, his face was very calm, and he said lightly: "Don't care, people always have strength when they are exhausted." But you better send twenty of my guards to support them, and tell them not to fight hard, just keep yourself. In addition, 500 cavalry from the reserve army will be transferred to support, and they have not fought in the siege for the past few days......"

With the addition of reinforcements, the formation of the thief army, which had been scattered, gradually stabilized, leaving only some people to continue to fight with the officers and soldiers, and the rest of the people still went to support.

Fu Zhu led the people of the Zhenlian caravan to rush and kill in the formation, revenge for the day's hatred, so unhappy. Everyone was red-eyed, either because of the glory of the caravan, or because they became cultivators, or because they wanted to survive......

When the reinforcements of the thief army arrived at the West Gate, the light cavalry of the West Gate quickly retreated under the signal of the cold light, and retreated to a place about five miles away from Songcheng.

The west gate was empty, and all the reinforcements belonging to the thief army continued to march towards the south gate, only to find that there were no enemies at the south gate......

At this time, these crossbowmen, exhausted from pulling heavy crossbows, could no longer move, so they had to sit down and rest.

The situation at the East Gate is very good, extremely good.

The appearance of the light cavalry arranged at the east gate caught the thief army off guard, and the thief army was already exhausted from the battle, but continued to work with the obsession in his heart. Man is already completely like a machine. Before the thieves could react, they had already killed the city. Killed a few back and forth, giving the thief army a lot of losses.

Songcheng is not very large, and the thief army at the east gate is struggling to support it, waiting for reinforcements or orders to arrive. At this last moment, they waited for no orders, only reinforcements. And this reinforcement does not belong to them.

So everyone dispersed, and the defense line completely collapsed, and each fled for his life, some surrendered, some fled for his life, and some even lay on the ground and pretended to be dead.

And for these three kinds of people, Hanguang has already commanded, and he doesn't have to show the slightest mercy, all the enemies are either cut off or their hearts are pierced, and the rest of the people are not spared.

Surrender on the battlefield is a taboo for the army, and even more so for the light cavalry...... The killing now is only for the sake of peace in the future.
