Chapter 114 The return to the horse pistol is not perfect
Fu Yun's partial division was busy in vain, and after the Chen family's last line of defense was dispersed, they still "discarded" most of the supplies.
It was still food, forage, and other marching supplies. Weapons and equipment, etc., are absolutely non-existent.
It is clear that he is persuading you to move forward, but the demon clan legion is still eating a set, putting away things and rolling forward.
Seeing the retreat of the demon clan army outside the city, the small city erupted with a tsunami-like sound, as if they had achieved the final victory.
However, the old fox Fu Yun is naturally not like others, he can always make up something unexpectedly.
When the hostility is lifted, there is no need for 6,000 men to shrink into a small city. The leader and Chen Shouyuan thanked him, and rushed back to the headquarters with three thousand men and horses to listen to the order. After all, it is a new force, and it can be used anywhere.
However, the 3,000 men had not gone far from the city before the fireworks of the warning were raised.
Chen Shouyuan released more than a dozen scout horses, but there was only one warning, which shows that the enemy is fully prepared.
After a while, Fu Yun, who had left, went and returned, unwilling to go through the motions, he killed a horse pistol, which was unexpected by the defenders.
On the open ground, six thousand against eight thousand is not an advantage, and there are some equipment operators.
Of course, the bed crossbows and stone throwers in Chen Shouyuan's city are a nightmare for any siege army. The Chen family legion, which is forming a formation, is still within the support range of the city's weapons, but there is a possibility of accidental injury.
Fu Yun was also helpless, according to his calculations, when he rushed back, the people who happened to leave the city left the protection range of the city. However, if a sentry is not cleared in time, they are ready to fly, so this is the situation. He controlled the distance between the two sides, strictly forbidding them to enter the range of the weapons at the head of the city, and at the same time not too far away, so that people outside the city could quickly run back.
Chen Shouyuan stood at the head of the city, looking at the demon clan army that was being mobilized.
In the square of the city, the trebuchet has already thrown out the first wave, the second has been loaded, and the formation of the bed crossbow has been fully deployed, just waiting for the flag on the conning tower. As long as the flag is waved diagonally, it is a spectacular hundred crossbows in unison, and the bed crossbow is as thick as a small arm, even if it is not a direct shot, it is not a small shield of the demon clan that can resist it.
Compared to the battle-hardened elite outside the city, the two thousand loaders looked much more disheveled, and their faces were wrapped in the twin expressions of fear and hope.
This was the first time they had been involved in the killing. In the past, most of them were moved around in warehouses, but now they are archery and stone throwing at the head of the city. The demon army tried twice before and after, but before they could get to the Chen family, they were repelled by the stone bed crossbow.
Fu Yun's deputy looked at the defenders at the head of the city, and then at the Chen family army who was on strict guard under the city, and sighed lightly. "The timing was just a little bit short. If the news hadn't leaked out in advance, this plan would have been a perfect return tactic, alas......"
Fu Yun smiled, "The facts can come according to the plan, so what are you going to do in the war, let's sit down and play card games." Now, if they try to attack, their reserve should be a few heavy auxiliaries. The operation of weapons is not so handy, if there is any hurry, luck is on our side. ”
"Strategist, in that case, the casualties are likely to be very large. ”
"How big will it be? The elders, even the casualties of the berserkers are not in their hearts, they don't care about these ordinary warriors. At present, there is no force of berserkers, and there are no elite soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles. Either way, it's good to win. Besides, these people are not our people, and their Presbyterian subordinates don't matter. ””
The deputy sighed.
Fu Yun's face turned fierce, and a murderous aura floated out of him unscrupulously, and he said coldly: "When the time comes, let's shoot!"
The sound of war drums and horns sounded from the demon clan's military formation!
The deputy waved his lower arm, "Whole army, assault!"
Although the Demon Clan Legion is also called the elite, it is still worse than the Chen Family Army in comparison. Whether it's momentum or formation. After all, the demon army has only fought all year round, and this part is just more training, just a showcase. Chen Jiajun may seem a little careless, but the murderous aura exuded from his body cannot be concealed.
The drums of war were quick, the trumpets were long, and the hoplites were lined up in a formation of geese, standing on tiptoe in small steps, and they needed distance to lift up speed and impact. Behind are thousands of light cavalry and light infantry, because the speed of the front row of war horses is not fast, light cavalry and light infantry are slowly following, so that in the process of accelerating, the formation has not changed when the enemy has been nailed.
The Chen family army is not in a hurry to charge, they are all rangers, the armor is not as good as the heavy cavalry, and the light is not as good as the light cavalry, but it is better than the general one, the most important thing is that there is strong support behind them.
The warriors lowered their masks, but instead of advancing, they all stepped back, with plenty of room for bed crossbows and trebuchets behind them.
The horses of the heavy cavalry gradually increased their speed, and the earth was also driven by their neat rhythm, and the stones kept jolting up and down, and they could no longer control their bodies.
In a moment, it was rolling like thunder, and the momentum was huge, as if it was going to destroy the Chen Jiajun on the opposite side in one go.
The hussars raised their scimitars and shouted loudly, as if to use their voices to give themselves a boost of strength and strength.
The shouts of the cavalry were not uniform, but the infantry were different, their pace and shouts were consistent and rhythmic, and the entire infantry camp was a uniform slogan. The sword flashed, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
Chen Shouyuan at the head of the city accurately calculated the distance, and seeing that the enemy was about to arrive, his outstretched palm quickly clenched, and the last three stones and the bed crossbow rose in response.
The three rounds were calibrated, and they were only a few feet away from the cavalry that was running.
Seeing that the accuracy was not bad, he shouted, "Let's go!"
The aftermath was long, enough to be transmitted to the square behind it, and in a moment, a fire oil tank rose into the air, with two flicks of fingers at intervals, it was a row of fire bombs, and behind it was a dense bed crossbow, patting a neat formation, and went straight to the demon clan heavy cavalry.
The flames ignited one after another, and in an instant, several cavalrymen who rushed quickly turned into roast chickens. The other horses were also frightened, slowed down, and instantly became a mess.
However, the advantage of the wild goose formation is that the rear can be moved to the sides to reduce stampede.
The bed crossbows that landed on the ground were another big nuisance, and they plunged into the ground, forming a row of obstacles.
For a moment, the speed of the cavalry of the shock slowed down, otherwise it would have been even more chaotic.
"The front edge of the bed crossbow target is ten zhang, change the armor-piercing cone!"
With another order, the loaders quickly loaded the armor-piercing cones, and three shots were fired rapidly, and a black-bodyed and white-tailed god of death in the air began to roar into the enemy formation, wielding scythes wantonly.
