"Okay, how about I, you, the war commander and Death Grip find a place to meet two against each other? I'll give you a chance to fulfill your agreement with the war commander." Lang Chun replied calmly.
"Hmph, then I will help you get rid of Haotong first!" Ding Kui's spear turned sharply, sweeping away a piece of magic like a windmill, using the force of the rebound to change its flight direction, and stabbed behind Haotong.
Hao Tong turned his palms outwards and struck a blow with Ding Kun. He took advantage of the situation and stepped back a few feet to avoid Ding Kui's attack. Just kidding, this master and servant have been together for more than 20 years, and the power of one plus one is greater than two. He
I don't want to get hurt again.
"Bah!" The crossbow arrows began to fire again, and the taut bowstring provided a strong thrust. The distance of four hundred steps came in an instant, and the heavy armored infantry tried to parry with all their might.
The heavy armored infantry captain swung his double axe, slashing upwards and downwards, knocking three arrows away at once, but the recoil force from his arms stopped his forward steps, and the person behind him pushed him.
Just start running again.
Unfortunately, most of his men did not have such strength. After one round of shooting, most of the two hundred officers and soldiers in the front row were hit by arrows, and less than half were able to continue running.
Before they could take a breath and adjust, the next volley of sharp arrows came before their eyes. The second row of crossbowmen only had about a breath to aim, and this round of attack was more targeted.
The captain who was unharmed just now was attacked by a squad of crossbowmen. Two short axes only blocked half of the attack, and the remaining five crossbow arrows broke through the heavy armor and penetrated his body.
"Push me forward, quickly..." Before he could finish his words, the third round of crossbow arrows shot into his chest without any hindrance.
All the heavy armored infantry in the first row had fallen, and more than half of the second row had been killed or wounded. Ding Kui's crossbowmen had only completed a round of fire.
The crossbowmen in positional warfare are not as dense as the archers, but their lethality is astonishing, because they can focus multiple attacks equivalent to level 5 combat power in a short period of time, which even the dominating knights can't bear, let alone ordinary soldiers.
"Stop the attack! The 44th and 45th divisions jointly formed the Crane Wing Formation, and the entire cavalry quickly assembled." Feng Run immediately adjusted his tactics.
He knew that the two thousand heavy armored infantry in front were gone, and pushing them forward with a phalanx would be a surefire way to die. At most, it would only consume the enemy's arrows.
No matter how the enemies in the distance change, Lei Feixiang still commands the crossbowmen to use the fastest speed to deal with the enemies within the range.
The heavy armored infantry are still advancing, and the furthest one is 300 steps closer to the crossbow position. However, their running speed has dropped significantly, and a group of people will fall with each step forward. Currently, there are just over a thousand people left.
They did not receive the order to retreat, so they could only grit their teeth and rush forward desperately. Those who fell to the ground and survived were crawling with difficulty. They changed from the main offensive force to cannon fodder, and their role changed from killing the enemy to consuming the enemy's strength and energy.
Arrows, they lost the initiative from the moment the fight started.
The battle in the sky was more intense, but the number of casualties was much lower. The total number of casualties on both sides was less than double digits.
Ding Kui, Ding Kun and Haotong all retreated to their own camp. The battle turned into magic attacks and interceptions, and the winner could not be determined in a short time.
"The main force on the battlefield from now on will be crossbowmen." Dong Ba praised.
"Today we have the right location, the right combination of arms, and the right enemy. This is the result. If our division encounters simple crossbowmen, we will win in the end." Staff officer surnamed Lin was slightly dissatisfied.
"Don't forget that they are originally armored infantry. They can put down their powerful crossbows and switch to heavy weapons at any time. Even if they face our troops alone, the outcome is still unpredictable." Dong Ba was not as optimistic as Staff Lin.
Staff Lin was speechless for a moment, and then thought for a while before saying: "It is difficult to copy such an army. It took Xiaohou Ye several years and a lot of manpower and material resources to have the three thousand people now. It is estimated that it will not be possible to form a division in the future."
Considering the size of the regiment, the 71st Division is still the strongest division in the country."
"Superficial!" Dong Ba scolded Staff Lin, "Is it easy to form our division? Regardless of ordnance factors, the commander-in-chief can easily produce a legion of crossbowmen. The cost of training crossbowmen is much lower than training knights.
"
Staff Lin was silent.
When there were only two to three hundred heavy armored infantry left, the crossbowmen stopped shooting, and a group of cavalry entered the battlefield from the right wing, killing them all in one charge.
"Ouch, little Xiangzi, I found that you are just a tough talker, but you are too timid to do such a thing to please the 71st Cavalry." Ding Cai mocked Lei Feixiang.
"Fart!" Lei Feixiang responded rudely, "This is a tactic set by the Lord of the City to lure the enemy."
"Even an idiot can see that we can't save those pirates."
"What do you know? Failure to seduce the enemy can still demoralize the enemy. Are you questioning the Lord's tactics?"
"No! It's absolutely nothing! Don't accuse me wrongly, there are so many people listening." Ding Cai shouted at the top of his voice.
"Shut up!" Ding Kui's voice fell from the sky.
Ding Cai shivered, straightened his back immediately, and held the flagpole tightly with both hands.
The four divisions brought by Feng Run have a total of just over 10,000 cavalry, the 44th and 45th Divisions each have 2,000, and the 46th and 47th Divisions each have more than 3,000 cavalry.
Because the enemy's crossbowmen were protected by five thousand cavalry, Fengrun had to concentrate all the cavalry before he dared to launch a new offensive. He only sent infantry who didn't know how many people would die to defeat the enemy.
"Inspect and maintain weapons!" Lei Feixiang ordered.
Crossbowmen take advantage of the breaks in battle to check their crossbows and levers, and if any problems are found, repair or replace them immediately.
"If I hadn't just learned about them last night, based on their performance today, I would have thought they were crossbowmen with many years of combat experience." Dong Ba looked up at Ding Kui, with a hint of awe in his eyes.
The descendants of the Ding family are really born to fight, can create epoch-making arms, and can train elite soldiers and generals in a short period of time. Such monsters will not be born in a thousand years.
It's not too far-fetched for him to think so. The guy who invented Zhuge Liannu in ancient times on earth was a monster that was rare to be born in a thousand years.
"Commander, the 44th and 45th divisions and cavalry have been assembled, and the 46th division has also completed preparations for combat." A soldier came up to the commander's platform to report.
"The Crane Wing Formation will advance first, and the cavalry will focus on the left wing and attack!" Feng Run waved the command flag.
Our army launched another attack.
This time there were four thousand infantrymen on each side. The soldiers in the front row all held their shields high, occupying almost the entire width of the battlefield, leaving only an opening on the left wing.
In the middle are 4,000 archers from the 44th and 45th Divisions, and there are still 2,000 heavy armored infantry covering the front.
The entire infantry formation resembles a pair of forward-swept crane wings. This is a pure attack formation, characterized by a wide combat area and the input of more troops on the front line, which is most suitable for attacking with more troops than with fewer troops.
"Sound the horn and gather on the right wing." Dong Ba ordered all the cavalry to move to the right wing, focusing only on the enemy's cavalry, leaving all the enemy's infantry to the crossbowmen.
Zhong Wei probed out of the tunnel to observe for a while, and then ordered: "The fourth and fifth battalions were separated left and right, and the enemy troops on both sides were never allowed to take a step across the tunnel."
"Use the military flag to separate the lines. The left and right sides are responsible for attacking the nearest enemy. Get ready!" Lei Feixiang adjusted according to the enemy's formation.
The Golden Bamboo Crossbow can shoot further than the bows of your own army. You can first deal with the infantry on both sides and wait for the archers to enter the dangerous zone before dealing with them.
Bah!
This time Lei Feixiang ordered an attack when his own army entered the range of 1,500 steps. He wanted to give full play to the range advantage of the powerful crossbow.
Seeing the crossbow arrows falling into the infantry, hundreds of soldiers with thin armor were hit by the arrows, "Fuck! You can shoot that far!" The commander of the 44th Division's eyes turned red, and the shields in the front row could not block the arrows.
Feng Run clenched his fists with his hands behind his back. This scene was the last thing he wanted to see. An attack was launched a thousand steps away. How many of the 14,000 infantrymen would be left before they rushed to the position?
"Now it depends on the cavalry!" He thought silently in his mind.
"Front Arrow Formation!" Dong Ba clapped his horse and ran to the front of the cavalry team, with a small cavalry formation composed of ten soldiers following closely behind his horse.
A huge "→" was formed while the cavalry was running, and the arrow was pointed at the cavalry of our country.
"Magician group, attack the enemy cavalry!" Feng Run shouted to the sky.
He knew that the 71st Division of the Shaodian Army was powerful and that his cavalry unit might not be an opponent. At this time, all strength must be used.
"Prepare the forbidden spell!" Ding Kui was not deaf, and Ao Yan reacted faster than him, retreating behind Huan Qiao and others.
"No! Interrupt her, that's a major severing technique!" Haotong wailed and rushed out.
As soon as the magician of his own country heard about the great severing technique, he immediately threw Feng Run's order behind him. There was no need to choose between taking someone else's life or saving his own life. The latter would definitely take priority.
"Accelerate! Accelerate! Accelerate!" Dong Ba raised his spear and clamped the horse's belly with both feet. Dou Qi circulated rapidly in his body, and his dou Qi armor actually covered the horse's head.
Seeing that the enemy cavalry was about to enter the attack range, Dong Ba raised the tip of his spear and shouted: "What should happen to those who stand in the way?"
"Death!" Five thousand cavalrymen shouted at the same time, like thunder.
"Go to hell!" Ding Kui regained his energy, flashed towards Haotong with his gun in his hand, and used his charging skill - Star Diamond.
Ding Kun slapped his palms violently, murderous aura spurted out, and he flashed blood, drinking water, and burning the sky in front of the Shaodian Kingdom magician group.
Feng Run covered his face with his hands and sighed: "This is the Ace Army! You really shouldn't underestimate them."
The two torrents on the north side of the battlefield intersected, and it was our own country's side that was overturned. Dong Ba's army seemed to pierce the enemy's chest with a sharp sword, stirring up a huge flower of blood.
The sky suddenly lit up, and hundreds of magic spells flashed with all kinds of light, shooting at Shaodianguo's camp, with the final target targeting the white-robed beauty.
"Give up! Give up!" Ding Kui shot Haodong away and immediately rolled down to avoid the magic coming from the front.
Ding Kun flew sideways, and Bloody Drinking Fenkong still rushed towards the place where the magic was densest.
"Support the shield with all your strength!" Huan Qiao did not dodge and called on other magicians to use magic shields to block Ao Yan.
At this critical moment, Ao Yan, who was at the very back, suddenly raised her head, raised the corners of her mouth, and showed a proud smile.
Immediately, her magic wand exploded, shooting out a bit of white light, creating a ray of light in the team of magicians on her side, and just flew by Huan Qiao's ear.
