Chapter 31: Nine Arrows in a Row
The people of Fangyi are all experienced veterans, and they pick up their shields, but more often than not, to protect themselves.
How could the Twelve Iron Guards be protected by men.
The veterans knew the habits of the king of Hades, and at the same time they gathered, almost everyone had a quiver of Haizhou soldiers.
These quivers, which contained expensive three-edged armor-piercing arrows, were snatched by veterans when they passed in front of and behind the Haizhou archers.
Hades jumped out of the cart, caught the quiver thrown at him, and stuck the arrow into the large open space of the oil yard in a staggered manner.
A few archers were not convinced, and ran after the arrows with a curse.
When they saw that Hades threw it lightly, the long arrow was directly inserted into the ground half a foot deep, and the tail feathers on the thin arrow shaft did not move at all, they lost their temper.
The archers turned around and shouted, "Shoot after him!"
Hades didn't have the time to be polite, and when he raised his hand, he was a two-bead shot.
A hundred paces away, two white-haired horsemen fell off their horses.
The fuel field suddenly thundered with joy.
The bloody cavalry that patrolled the periphery in the dark was too difficult to deal with. Especially the officers who galloped back and forth without helmets.
The blood on their drape was so thick that it was already black, and perhaps it was really smeared with human blood.
However, the last stain on those armors was the blood of their owners.
Yi Chi's retracted gaze fell on the arrow array inserted by Uncle Yama. The master didn't teach him this.
Uncle Hades doesn't stay in the same place at all. In the middle of the arrows planted all over the ground, stride, draw arrows, take bows, and shoot freely. The pace is unpredictable, and the action is fluid. The hastily organized shooting by the people of the Wei country outside the camp could not touch him at all.
And the brains of the Haizhou archers in the battalion turned quickly. Wherever Hades shoots, their arrows rain on.
The blood-armored general who led the team dodged the rain of arrows chasing for his life, exhausted.
The recruits of the Ye family, who had just fought a battle with SF, were also a little panicked at this time. They were afraid of being piggybacked, so they didn't dare to get too close to the chief.
The connection between the officers and soldiers of the Ul State was cut off in this way. The cavalry and archery units were simply unable to organize an effective attack, and the situation on the battlefield gradually became chaotic.
Yi Chi patted Uncle Desheng on the shoulder and shouted, "Yunzhou Bow Technique?"
The post guard, who had been silently observing the dynamics of the battlefield, had no time to look back, and replied casually: "Yes." Lao Qi is a native of Yunzhou. ”
Led by Hades, the defense of the oil battalion gradually stabilized. More and more enemies were crammed on the outskirts of the camp, and the advance and retreat were somewhat ungrounded.
In the middle of the stalwarf, another crystal nuclear cannon on the city wall also came to life.
This cannon fires a fire-based arcane art. Six huge fire meteors were thrown at once.
If Bai Ye was here, he would be surprised to recognize that these fire meteors were almost exactly the same as the secret techniques he had encountered that day, and their power was not much different. It's just that the turret fires more at once, and the frequency is also very fast.
Two crystal nuclear cannons bombarded the piled enemies in turn across the oil field, smashing the blood-colored cavalry everywhere. And the long arrow of the king of Hades has been biting the generals in the team, and the people of the Wei country finally couldn't bear it anymore, and reluctantly retreated a distance.
Haizhou soldiers and Fangyi people were not in a relaxed mood at all. The fiery waves of air emitted by the crystal core cannon swept overhead, and the sound was much more terrifying than the rockets fired by the Wei Guobing.
There are still hundreds of barrels of fire oil on the ground.
More and more garrisons were gradually squeezed into the vicinity of the oil yard. Taking advantage of the enemy's retreat, they seized the time to consolidate a temporary defensive line on the perimeter.
A few hundred paces away on the north side of the defensive line, Ye Lang Dudu was a little anxious.
The leaders of the Flame Splitting Heavenly Army were all veterans who had experienced the last war with him. Heavy losses under the attack of two crystal nuclear cannons and the ranged units of the defenders.
The new recruits who had just entered the battlefield were a little timid and instinctively spread out to the less stressful flanks without the command of these old fellows.
The cooperation between the Heavenly Army and the Venerable Wu Family also lost the initial tacit understanding. It was difficult for even the Venerable to control the mad spirit beast, and the two forces were doing their own thing, and they gradually became disjointed.
And the main force of the attack on the first tun An Jia did not enter the tun at all, but directly interspersed it with the city wall, leaving only the Ye family's army and a group of spirit beasts like headless flies trapped in the tun.
You must know that the Ye clan only has a total of 2,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry troops. If you only raid and rob the camp, you can still take advantage of the chaos to take advantage of a lot of benefits, but if you want to encircle and annihilate the more than 10,000 Lan troops who are stuck in the camp, it is a fool's dream.
The camp in front of you is proof of that. His own cavalry repeatedly failed to rush into the spear formation, but the precise rain of arrows and the coordination of crystal nuclear cannons on there became more and more proficient, and several battle-hardened centurions folded in front of the camp.
Such a hard attack is not the way to go.
In the middle of the annoyance, there were several loud yells behind him.
Qiu Duluo, the commander of the Ye Infantry Army, finally found the governor in the chaos.
Before he got close, he scolded at the top of his throat: "Boss, the An family took the pioneer order and transferred all the spirit beasts out of the tun!"
Although Lao Qiu is five big and three thick, he is very clever on the battlefield. Seeing that he was so anxious that his face was covered with sweat, something must have gone wrong.
It's been a long time since I've seen a herd of spirit beasts scurrying around. Ye Lang frowned, raised his hand and motioned for the commander to rest for a while.
The grumpy old Qiu didn't care about that, and pointed behind him: "I detained a Venerable, you ask them yourself." ”
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped, and his strange eyes like copper bells stared at Ye Lang's feet.
There were six or seven stretchers lined up, and all the familiar faces were lying on them. Every centurion was pierced through the skull by a long arrow.
"This!!" he looked at the governor in disbelief, and he didn't believe that he had been killed, that this could have been done by the Haizhou siege camp.
In the team that followed behind Chuduro, a Wu Family Beast Venerable Shi Shiran stepped out of the crowd. Looking at his expression, he didn't seem to blame the Ye family for being reckless and rude.
In Ye Dudu's opinion, these people don't seem to have any emotions at all.
The purple-robed Venerable looked directly at the Governor, and said bluntly: "On the order of the vanguard, go south to raid." You can do it yourself. ”
The cultivation is as high as Ye Lang, and he can't help frowning again. The generals of the Ye family around him quit.
The resentment that has been suppressed for many years seems to have finally found an outlet for catharsis. They surrounded the Venerable Wu family and roared: "If you break through the city, you will not follow the rules of the military exercise, and we will not talk about this." Is it planning to kill us now?"
"What do you have with An Jia'an? When we are cannon fodder filling people's lives, we only care about rushing forward, and we are in a hurry to grab credit?"
The generals of the Ye family who came up became more and more excited, but His Holiness didn't even look at it. He was still staring at Ye Lang, and said heartlessly: "Spirit beasts are expensive, and they are not worthy here." ”
There is no reason for the governor to suppress the anger of his subordinates. The behavior of the Anjiakeng people must have been calculated a long time ago. As for what the head of the Wu family has planned, he doesn't know, and he doesn't want to be clear. There's no need to make a fuss.
However, these Venerables on the front line are all old-fashioned stunned young people, and they are very easy to control. Since the Anjia family has a vanguard order, they can be transferred to a group. Well, we have that too.
The Governor pulled out a necklace from his collar, the pendant of which was a dark, dull stone arrowhead.
The Beast Venerable looked at it carefully, and there was still no fluctuation on his face, but he just nodded slightly. It's a salute.
This is a unique token of the Lei family. Everyone knows it.
Ye Dudu carefully withdrew the arrow into his arms, and arched his hand lightly: "On the orders of Emperor Lei, the first task of the three of us is to destroy the torch stone cart in the first tun. ”
He gestured to the oil field, "Right there." But there are so many enemies that we can't attack them. ”
His Holiness looked back in a daze, looked at it for a while, and muttered with some doubts, "What's so difficult about this?"
The generals of the Ye family gathered in a circle and stared at the Venerable one tightly. Watch as he pulls out a bone whistle and blows it gently.
Soon, the sound of flapping wings could be heard in the distance. A ten-foot-wide spirit bird with a gray-brown body loomed in the air, forming a circle around the top of His Holiness's head.
Ye Dudu looked up with the generals, and he couldn't see the specific appearance of this spirit beast in the night.
His Holiness's bone whistle blew again. With a long and short whistle, the spirit bird flew up with a long whistle, then adjusted its angle in mid-air, and plunged headlong into the oil field hundreds of paces away.
Fangyi people can't suffer anywhere.
After dodging the impact of the spirit beast and gaining the upper hand in bow and arrow shooting, with the gradually stabilized defense line, there is a chance to help the Haizhou siege camp keep this dangerous powder keg, at least it can evacuate people in a safe and orderly manner.
The pressure on the oil yard has been reduced by half. Instead of dodging the rain of arrows falling from the sky, the packers in the inner circle began to race against time to deal with the exposed oil drums.
More than a dozen strong-bodied siege soldiers also rushed over to help. The more critical it is, the more careful it is to handle these vats. If you are not careful, even if you make a slight mistake, you will not have to work the enemy.
Yi Chi had already loosened most of the buckles, and he alone held up the oil drum hanging on the left side of the yellow horse, and lifted it up two feet to completely remove the scary thing.
Even the oil with the barrel was less than 200 catties, and Yi Chi was in the middle of the struggle, when he caught a glimpse of the spearmen's defense line thirty paces away suddenly loosened a little, and two or three Haizhou soldiers actually threw their spears and retreated sharply.
Yi Chi was shocked, and when he raised his eyes to watch, he couldn't shout.
As soon as the huge strange bird appeared in view, Hades had a premonition. He hurriedly called to the archers, ready to intercept the threat from above.
The grey bird flew higher and higher, and then swooped down again, skilfully dodging most of the attacks of the archers stationed on the periphery. The few arrows that flew close were also knocked off by the wind that flapped their wings.
Under the control of the purple-robed bone whistle, the spirit bird flexibly turned in the low altitude and quickly approached the core area of the oil field. From time to time, he also opens his giant beak and sprays out the flammable gas in his stomach pouch along the way.
The high-pressure air stream rubs only slightly against the air before it burns violently. The strange bird that breathed fire all the way immediately disrupted the defensive front of the Lan Kingdom.
Less than four hundred paces away from the oil field, the strange bird suddenly raised its long neck, flapped its wings, and braked its body.
Pressed against its neck, three long arrows pierced through the air.
The generals of the Ye family who were watching the battle in the rear were all taken aback.
Such a distance?
Judging from the direction and angle, there is no doubt that the three Lianzhu fast arrows shot directly from the oil field.
But it's a distance of 400 paces, is this something that can be done by manpower?
I don't know if it was by instinct or by relying on the control of the Venerable, in the blink of an eye, the gray bird that swooped down with speed dodged three long arrows.
In the earth-shattering applause of the Sergeant of the Ul Kingdom, Ye Lang, who had a solemn face, suddenly raised the longbow in his hand.
The purple-clothed Venerable had been staring at his spirit beast all the time, and when he suddenly saw this move out of the corner of his eye, he was a little awe-struck for a while.
Before he could react, a terrible scream came from the air.
Nine arrows in a row.
The gray bird, who tried his best, finally did not dodge the third wave of arrows that followed. Three arrows in the chest and abdomen.
The moment the arrow was hit, the big bird's figure suddenly stopped, and the long neck suddenly folded weakly backwards.
The dying spirit beast seemed to struggle, glancing at the purple-clothed Venerable in the distance.
How could it be!
Everyone on the battlefield was dumbfounded.
Four hundred paces away, nine arrows in a row. How many archers are there in the oil field?
Or is it the work of one person?
A name flashed in Chudulo's heart. He looked at the Governor in horror.
The longbow in the governor's hand was empty.
With a soft sound of "bang", Ye Dudu's long arrow directly pierced the head of the gray bird three hundred steps away.
The spirit beast's massive body cut off the last shred of vitality and slid straight towards the center of the oil field.
