Chapter 221: Annihilation of the Vanguard Army
In front of the Lion Barracks.
The three phalanxes of the legion were quickly assembled.
And An Lushan and other five tiger generals also stood at the front of the team.
An Lushan looked at the figure on the city wall not far away, and a blurred human face gradually appeared in front of him.
'Monkey King, let's have a real battle!'
At this time, the blurred face in front of An Lushan's eyes was the imaginary Qi Tian in his mind.
Ever since he learned that it was the young man named Qi Tian who defeated Akbar and annihilated the Three Thousand Lion Legions, Qi Tian's vague image had been surrounding An Lushan's mind.
"Qiyan, you take the 5,000 forward battalion and attack first. An Lushan ordered.
"Hehe, obey, just see!" said with a smile.
An Lushan looked at the begging contempt expression, couldn't help frowning, and advised: "Don't underestimate the enemy, we don't know what they are going to do against us." ”
"It's nothing more than a modified arrow, don't worry, when it reaches a distance of ninety meters, I will erect a shield wall to resist it." Qi Yan said.
An Lushan wanted to say something, but the words came to his lips but did not come out.
He knew that he wouldn't listen to anything he said at this time.
"The forward battalion listens to the order, follow me!" beggar Yan shouted, and then took the lead and ran to the front.
Five thousand lion soldiers armed with shields and swords began to follow Qiyan and attack Yunhai City in a neat line.
Nasutu, Sun Timur, and several tiger generals, all with expressions of watching the play, watched the Qiyan forward battalion attack.
"Nasutu, you prepare 3,000 soldiers, once you are defeated, you hurry up with illness to respond. ”
Nasutu looked strange, but he also responded: "Yes." ”
It's just that he secretly thought in his heart, it's just a small city with a few thousand people, and there are 5,000 people in the Qiyan Forward Battalion, can it still be repulsed?
An Lushan looked worried, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the battlefield ahead.
-------
Yunhai City, on the city wall.
"Big brother, they're coming. Xiao Xiaobing shouted with a solemn face.
The old god Qi Tian was sitting on a chair, which was moved by Uncle Jiu.
Uncle Nine never let go of the opportunity to pat himself on the back.
"Don't be in a hurry, wait for them to get fifty meters and shoot with a bow and arrow. Qi Tian said as he picked up a teacup and drank it leisurely.
"Obey!" Xiao Xiaobing replied.
But the surrounding civil and military officials looked puzzled.
The conversation between Qi Tian and Tie Ahsan made them think that Qi Tian was going to attack with a catapult, but they didn't think about it, so they still used bows and arrows, but this time the lion army is not an archer without a shield, all of them have shields in their hands, can bows and arrows still be used?
Without waiting for them to think about it, the 5,000 forward battalion of the Lion Legion had already entered fifty meters below Yunhai City.
"Archers release arrows!" Xiao Xiaobing ordered the archers who had already bent their bows and arrows.
As in the last battle, the archers shot their arrows that had already been gathered.
In an instant, dense arrows shot up into the sky, so low that a heavy dark cloud fell towards the lion army with a whistling sound.
Qi Yan glanced up at the rain of arrows in the sky with a buzzing sound, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Shield wall!" he snapped.
Then, I saw five thousand cavalry behind him, and immediately raised the shield in his hand.
Their round shields were small, but they were just big enough to cover the top of their heads and in front of them.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
The rain of arrows fell rapidly, and soon there was a series of "bells, bells, bells" of iron strikes.
After the first round of arrow rain, the lion soldiers did not suffer any casualties, only the war horse under the crotch was shot by countless arrows because there was no iron protection.
"Abandon the horse!" beggar shouted.
The five thousand lion soldiers, including those whose horses were not injured, all changed to walking, approaching Yunhai City step by step.
"Hehe, what's the matter, I know they'll only use improved bows and arrows, and once we use shields, they'll have nothing to do!" Nasutu laughed.
Sun Temur also smiled contemptuously, "As long as our wall ladder reaches the bottom of the city, see what else they can do!"
An Lushan glanced at the two of them coldly, and continued to stare at the battle in the field, he never believed that Qi Tian would only use such a trick.
The forward battalion of the beggar soon reached twenty meters below the city.
Qi Yan, including the soldiers behind him, all had a cruel smile on their faces, and they were about to taste the blood of the soldiers of Yunhai City.
They are nomadic people born with a mad thirst for war, killing, blood!
on the city walls.
"City Lord, they are about to arrive at the city!" Sun Kui shouted anxiously.
As for the other officials, since they saw that the bow and arrow attack was ineffective, their hearts were all raised, their foreheads were sweating, and they looked nervously at the approaching lion legion.
Some officials could even see the fierce faces of the lion soldiers under their shields!
"Tie Ashan, it's time for you to appear, don't use our oil bombs first, use big rocks first, and shoot disorderly at a distance of twenty to fifty meters!" Qi Tian said lightly.
"Second aunt, obey!" Tie Ashan scholar Xiao Xiaobing and a few people also saluted Qi Tian, although it looked awkward...
Tie Ahsan turned to look at the engineering vehicle under the city, and then drew "two" with one hand, "five" with the other, and finally drew a square...
This is the sign language he has recently studied, indicating a range of between twenty and fifty meters, with polished boulders.
The catapults below were already ready, each with two types of ammunition on the left and right, oil bombs on the left and boulders on the right.
When the lion army attacked for the first time, Qi Tian arranged for people to prepare, so there were a lot of them.
Soon, the workers of the smelter in charge of the catapult began to adjust the distance of the catapult and reload the ammunition.
Since the catapult was built by Tie Ashan, the distance adjustment, installation and use, etc., ordinary soldiers are not yet able to do it, so this time the guys from the workshop also joined the battle.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
In total, more than thirty catapults were launched at the same time.
When the first boulder was launched, they hurriedly filled the second, the third...
Tie Ahsan looked at the stones flying high above the city wall, and his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment!
You know, these catapults were made by him himself, of course... These mobile catapult designers are Qi Tian...
-------
The lion soldiers who were getting closer and closer to the city looked at the city wall in front of them, and their faces showed a little hideous madness!
Suddenly, shadows began to cross their heads...
"Boom..."
"Boom..."
"Ahh
With a loud roar, the dense camp of the Lion Legion immediately went into chaos.
Prismatic boulders with cone-shaped bottoms, like ants, slapped the lion soldiers into a pulp.
Although the lion soldier held a shield in his hand and could resist ordinary arrows, he could not parry it when he encountered a boulder of hundreds of catties.
The lion soldiers of the forward battalion began to panic, and some even broke away from their formation and fled to the side.
Countless soldiers who had been smashed in the legs, bodies, and arms wailed in pain on the ground.
Qi Yan also panicked at this time!
He didn't expect that in addition to bows and arrows, the city guards would also have catapults!
Moreover, the boulders thrown by these catapults are very weird, and they all fall sideways, making the coverage the greatest and the most lethal!
The soldiers of the forward battalion, which originally densely formed a shield wall, suddenly suffered casualties!
But the tragedy did not end, these huge stone statues fell from the sky and rained down on the heads of the soldiers of the forward battalion.
There was a lot of flesh and blood around each boulder, blood spilled all over the ground, and the death was extremely miserable!
Qi Yan instinctively looked at An Lushan and the others behind him, he wanted to retreat, but thinking of his previous heroic words and promises, the dignity and face of the man made him unable to open his mouth no matter what.
"Brothers, let's continue to rush and set up the ladder to climb the wall on their wall!" his eyes turned red, his face became crazy, and he took the lead and continued to rush towards Yunhai City.
"He's crazy!Nasutu, you hurry up and bring the troops back to him now!" An Lushan ordered loudly.
Just when the forward battalion was ruthlessly crushed by the boulders flying from behind the city wall, An Lushan, Ji Ri Galang, Nasutu, Sun Temur and others all frowned and had an incredible expression.
None of them expected that Yunhai City would still have such a war weapon as a catapult.
The spies they had sent into the city had reported that there were no large weapons of war in the city, except for crossbows and bows and arrows.
It's just that they didn't know that these mobile catapults were not built by the Chengwei Mansion, but made by the Xia Family Smelting Factory, and the lion's spies only paid attention to the movements of the Chengwei Mansion and the City Guards, and did not notice that the Xia family's workshop was also requisitioned by the Chengwei Mansion.
Without saying a word, Nasutu immediately ran towards the city of Yunhai with three thousand soldiers.
There are no horses left in the forward battalion of Qiyan, and even if they want to retreat, they can't retreat at all with their legs and feet.
And he brought 3,000 cavalry to respond, and he could also help Qiyan retreat quickly.
"Beggar Yan, retreat quickly! The boss has an order, let's retreat quickly!" Nasutu shouted desperately.
Qi Yan is now like an ant on a hot pot, he did run under the city wall with a small number of soldiers, but the ladder to climb the wall was in the hands of the soldiers behind, they could only wait, watching the soldiers twenty meters away from the city wall being ruthlessly crushed by the boulder.
When he heard that Nasutu had led his troops and cavalry to meet him, he felt very uncomfortable.
"General, let's retreat, we can't go up to the tower without climbing the ladder!" the soldier beside him persuaded.
"yes, let's retreat!"
.........
Beggar looked up at the sky, his heart was full of helplessness and sighs!
They obviously blocked the arrows, why did the boulder come again!
They had obviously attacked the city, but how could they become defeated in an instant!
Nasutu looked at the boulder on the ground and shouted to the cavalry behind him: "Disperse the formation, take the surviving brother on the horse, and retreat immediately!"
The three thousand cavalry soon rushed to a distance of fifty meters from Yunhai City.
on the city walls.
"Big brother, they have sent reinforcements, and they have already entered the range of fifty meters. Xiao Xiaobing shouted excitedly.
Qi Tian smiled slightly, "Oh, how many reinforcements do they have?"
"Almost three thousand!" Xiao Xiaobing's voice became a little strange due to his overexcitement.
Not only him, but all the officials standing at the head of the city looked excitedly at the lion soldiers under the city who were smashed into flesh by the boulders.
They never expected that the scene of the boulder crushing would be even more shocking and exciting than the previous scene of arrows shooting the lion army!
Even if it is a civil official, the crazy cells in the body have been ignited!
"Alas, there are still fewer people, and I thought I could kill 10,000 people this time. Qi Tian's words were a little helpless, he turned his eyes to look at Tie Ashan, "Change the oil bomb, the distance ahead has expanded to eighty meters!"
Tie Ahsan smiled "hehe", "Obey!"
Soon, the ammunition of the catapults under the city was replaced with oil bombs.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Another barrage of launches.
"Boom!"
"Boom..."
If the boulder is a limited area of damage, as long as the soldier is not hit, it will still be fine.
But oil bombs are very large, and as long as they are slightly contaminated, they will catch fire all over their bodies, and it is difficult to extinguish.
"Ahh
"Help me!"
"It hurts so much!"
.........
In an instant, within eighty meters in front of Yunhai City, there was a sea of fire, and there was hardly any place to hide.
Countless male lion soldiers were ignited with fuel and ran frantically in all directions, like rats with their tails on fire.
However, the more they ran, the bigger the fire became, and many of them crashed into their companions, igniting their bodies as well.
As soon as Nasutu dragged Qiyan on his horse, he was ready to turn around and retreat towards the barracks.
But they had barely taken a few steps when an explosion was heard above their heads.
Then countless exploding fire oil stars flew in all directions!
The two of them were on the horse, and they were set on fire in an instant.
"Ahh
"Ahh
The hair of the war horse under the crotch was also burned, and the war horse was in pain, so he raised his head directly and threw the two of them directly off the horse.
Before they could struggle too much, Qi Yan and Nasutu were immediately surrounded by the flames on the ground, drowning in red flames.
Soon, the 5,000 soldiers of the forward battalion of Qiyan, the 3,000 rescue cavalry of Nasutu, including their two tiger generals, all of them were buried in the flames.
The last thought of all of them was why they came to Yunhai City?
It's purgatory!
An Lushan, Sun Temur, and Ji Ri Galang, including the 22,000 soldiers behind them, were all stunned and looked at the tragic situation in front of them with a shocked heart.
They never dreamed that in less than an hour, with 8,000 soldiers and two tiger generals, they would be wiped out in front of their eyes, and none of them escaped!
The faces of the lion soldiers began to show fear.
They finally knew that Akbar and his 3,000 soldiers were completely annihilated, and it was by no means Akbar's carelessness or accident, but completely due to the strength of the other party.
They also really feel what war is and what cruelty is.
War does not rely on you stabbing me, I stabbing you, hand-to-hand combat is only the lowest level.
And high-end warfare relies on the control of the environment, the use of nature, and the innovation of technology!
Qi Tian, the city lord of Yunhai City, has already used such superb war skills twice to win the victory.
Every time, the soldiers of the Lion Legion were wiped out without even seeing the enemy or even using their weapons.
This is no longer a myth or a legend, but a real fact!
An Lushan sighed, and began to hate himself in his heart!
At this time, he understood that he was being played by Qi Tian.
