Chapter 722: Fighting
Lu Qian said to rush, but he didn't really rush stupidly in the rain of arrows from the other party, but held two repeating crossbows and led his subordinates to continue to play suppressive shooting. [Full text reading]
The accuracy of the crossbow may not be too good, but the firepower is definitely not bad, especially on this kind of battlefield where it can be finished in minutes, everyone is under a lot of pressure, and seeing the crossbow arrows swarming from the opposite side, even the most heroic people will be timid. Not to mention that these crossbow arrows are not vegetarian, and they can be pierced through even if they are wearing leather armor, which invisibly exacerbates the fear on the side of the defenders.
"Shoot arrows, shoot them. ”
Wei Hu didn't expect Lu Qian and the others to be so sharp with two crossbows, seeing that the defense line on his side was about to be shot through by him, while urging the archers loudly, he shouted: "Wei Shuai has ordered to beat these people out at all costs, if it fails, I will be beheaded, and you ****** want to live." ”
At this time, many shield bearers on the defender's side also rushed over, erecting shields one after another to block the flying crossbow arrows, which made the archers who had previously been exposed to the threat of crossbow arrows somewhat relieved.
But because of this effort, Lu Qian and his men had already rushed through the big cave and came to the entrance of the cave here.
He was the first to jump out of the pit, first took the repeater in his hand and shot it at the opposite side, then threw away the repeater, drew his saber, and slashed at the shield-bearer who was in the way.
Zheng.
The sword flashed, and the shield hand in front of Lu Qian was instantly cut in two.
The soldiers of the pioneer battalion who came later also did the same, first shooting all the crossbow arrows in their hands, and then drawing their swords to fight.
Battles are sometimes very difficult, but that is when the two sides are not in contact, when they do meet together and start to fight in close combat, whether it is the attacking side or the defending side, in fact, all they can do is to fight hard, because everyone knows that if you don't do your best, victory or defeat may be decided in an instant.
Just like now, Lu Qian led the team to rush over, and he tore a hole in the defender's defensive line, and then the vanguard battalion could use this as a support point to expand the results.
If the defenders let it go, then it won't be long before the soldiers under Song Li's command will use this place as the entrance and continue to pour in, and it will become a joke to defend the imperial capital at that time.
Wei Hu knew this very well, so he would never let Lu Qian have such a chance, shouted, and also pulled out his long sword and rushed forward, standing with Lu Qian.
At the same time, in addition to the people on the defender's side who kept rushing over and fighting with the people of the pioneer battalion, more ballistas were transferred.
These ballistas are not equipped with ordinary crossbow arrows, but rune arrows, it can be seen that Wei Hu is really out of the way this time, if he realizes that the defense line cannot be held, he will not hesitate to use this powerful killing weapon, even if it is a thousand injuries to the enemy and eight hundred self-damage, he doesn't care.
When Lu Qian and Wei Hu were fighting, they also noticed the appearance of this rune arrow, and they couldn't help but be secretly anxious.
He knew the power of the rune arrows all too well, and if the defenders really used them here, the men and horses he brought with him would definitely die.
He feels distressed when a person dies, and more importantly, if he loses this support point, then it will not be easy to get in again.
"Surrender, I'll ask our marshal to intercede for you. Lu Qian said.
"Fuck your shit. Wei Hu said with red eyes: "If you die, I will bury you thickly, and bury you in that hole." ”
"Kill!"
"Kill. ”
As he was talking just now, Lu Qian took out an elixir and threw it into his mouth when he dodged to avoid Wei Hu's attack.
This elixir was given to him by Song Li, which can not only quickly restore his strength, but also stimulate his own strength to the greatest extent, so that he has a strong combat power within half an hour.
Of course, the sequelae are also obvious, and he will be weak for at least three months after using it once.
If it was usual, Lu Qian would definitely not use such an elixir, but now he can't care about it so much.
He sees the current battle situation very clearly, it is definitely a matter of success if he doesn't succeed, if he doesn't fight, it is estimated that he will not even have a chance to fight hard.
The entrance of the elixir instantly turned into a stream of heat and dispersed all over Lu Qian's body, and then he not only felt that the fatigue caused by the previous struggle was swept away, but at the same time, his limbs were also full of infinite strength.
"Kill. Lu Qian roared, and with a wave of the saber in his hand, dozens of knives were slashed in an instant.
Although Lu Qian's tricks are not subtle, they are better than concise, especially suitable for battlefield fighting.
Now that he has the help of the elixir, his strength has skyrocketed, and even the moves he is used to are now as if he had turned decay into magic, and his unprecedented attack power has exploded.
Lu Qian's action of taking medicine was very secretive before, and Wei Hu didn't notice it, so he suffered a big loss at this time.
Poof.
After the light of the sword, a half-foot-long hole was broken on Wei Hu's armor, and at the same time, the skin and flesh inside were also cut, and even the bones were faintly exposed, and blood splattered out.
"Brothers, fight. Lu Qian shouted, waving his saber towards Wei Hu and continuing to slash and slash. Taking advantage of people's illness to kill people is a truth that Lu Qian couldn't understand better.
Lu Qian's words were like a signal, and the people from the pioneer camp who rushed over all took out an elixir and threw it into their mouths.
As the vanguard of the whole army, they have to face the threat of death all the time, how can they not keep a hand. These elixirs are their hole cards to save their lives, and they are also unique to the Pioneer Battalion.
As soon as everyone took the pill, they immediately felt like they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they were extremely brave, and they rushed violently.
In addition to the desperate fight to tear through the defenders' defenses and make them completely collapse, there are also some people in the vanguard battalion who have set their sights on the ballista carts equipped with runic arrows not far away.
The soldiers who can be selected into the pioneer battalion must not only be fearless of death, but also cannot be stupid with a tendon, and their ability to capture fighters on the battlefield is still quite good.
They could see that the biggest threat to them now was those rune arrows, as long as these rune arrows were there, the opportunity they had worked so hard to seize would probably be wiped out in an instant. But if they take the rune arrows over, they will not only be able to relieve the immediate crisis, but also have a sharp weapon for defense, and it will not be difficult to hold this support point and open a passage for the follow-up troops to enter.
Thinking of this, several soldiers of the pioneer battalion exchanged glances, and began an action that was improvised but extremely bold.
The defenders also knew the importance of runic arrows, so not only did they have many elite guards, but they were also placed very far back, two hundred meters from the entrance of the cave.
If the distance of 200 meters is normal, it can be completed in no more than four or five breaths, but at this time, it is not easy to rush through.
But the soldiers of the vanguard battalion did not have the slightest fear or hesitation, and after making up their minds, they brandished their blades and rushed towards the location of the ballista.
It's just that the direction of their impact at this time was not the ballista with rune arrows, but the two ballistae with ordinary ballista installed near the entrance of the cave at the beginning.
Because these pioneer battalion soldiers took pills, their combat strength increased dramatically, and the defenders guarding the ballista did not expect that they would hit themselves with the idea, so they had no defense at all, and under the crazy attack of these pioneer battalion soldiers, the defenders guarding the ballista were soon killed.
Then the two ballistas changed owners.
Although the soldiers of these pioneer battalions have never played with ballistas, they are used to using repeater crossbows, so there is no problem in using them, not to mention that there are still crossbow arrows on the ballista now, but they just didn't have time to use them just now.
Now they deflected the ballista toward the defenders of the ballista loaded with runic arrows, and then ......
Boom.
Shout.
With a scream, the two crossbow arrows instantly activated and flew forward, ferociously tearing apart all obstacles in front of him, whether it was an object or a human body.
I have to say that if you don't count the rune arrows, this kind of crossbow arrow is definitely a sharp weapon in the army, the attack power is beyond imagination, and every crossbow arrow flies by, it is a disaster, leaving corpses and blood all over the place.
This also caused two bloody alleys to suddenly appear in the originally densely guarded ranks, and the soldiers of the pioneer battalion, who had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, could not miss it, and rushed over directly.
Rushing into the enemy group is definitely not an easy task, even if the two crossbow arrows just now made these people a little stunned, but when they see the enemy rushing over, they will not be relentless.
It's just that the soldiers of the vanguard battalion who are preparing to capture the rune arrow ballista are not fighting alone.
After they threw down their previous ballista and left, their companions picked it up, then mounted their crossbow arrows and swung their mallets to smash the trigger.
Boom.
Shout.
The same piercing scream, the same two crossbow arrows flew by, and many more people died on the defender's side.
If this continues, it won't be long before those runic arrow ballistae will change hands.
"Shoot runic arrows. At this time, Wei Hu's shout came.
Wei Hu has now had one of his arms cut off by Lu Qian, and his body is also covered with wounds and blood.
Lu Qian is also not much better, although he is not missing an arm or leg, but he has a lot of wounds on his body.
As soon as he heard that Wei Hu ordered someone to fire rune arrows, he was immediately shocked.
Firing rune arrows at such a short distance is definitely suicide, and within the range of power, not only the people of the vanguard battalion will suffer heavy casualties, but even the defenders should not think about it.
"Retreat. Lu Qian shouted, and after slashing at Wei Hu with his backhand, he also rushed towards the entrance of the cave.
The military order is like a mountain, and he does not suspect that Wei Hu is fooling himself. He also believed that those defenders would definitely not take Wei Hu's words as a joke, and if he wanted to survive, he could only run quickly.
Rumble.
Lu Qian ran very fast, but he was still a little slower, he just rushed to the front of the cave entrance, he heard a deafening explosion, and then felt that he was hit by a mad bull running behind him, and then he couldn't help flying into the big hole in the city wall, and then he fainted
