Chapter 1625 Decisive Battle in the Valley of the Homes Part 7
"The craftsmen replied that they can complete five standard trebuchets before dark, and Mr. Fei has led auxiliary troops to the mountain to quarry stone..."
The news is not very good. The soldiers on the defensive position must hold on until dark.
Quan Sihai subconsciously raised his head and looked at Ding Kui. Would the real soul of Quan Jun be worried?
Ding Kui was also looking at people, and found General Shi next to Dou Xiaoqi, with a smile on his face.
"Oh! Young Master has already made arrangements." Quan Sihai's tense face relaxed.
Shi Jiang returned the telescope to Dou Xiaoqi, picked up a branch and drew a picture on the ground.
"Here, here... let's fire a volley of blunt arrows."
The second and third battalion commanders were nearby, listening and watching carefully.
Dou Xiaoqi asked in a deep voice: "Do you all remember it?"
"remember!"
"I'll pay you for it." Dou Xiaoqiu bowed his hand, "Wait until they advance to 300 meters and launch a strong attack."
"Why wait until 300 meters? You can do it now." Shi Jiang was puzzled.
"It will scare away the enemy now." The second battalion replied with a smile on behalf of the leader.
Five hundred meters before breaking into the defensive position, the archers in the attacking team stood still at the predetermined position, and infantrymen from the rear filled in the team they left.
The archers stood in a loose formation like human-shaped stakes, and teams continued to pass them.
The sky suddenly became crowded, the rain of arrows flying in one direction became two-way, and the rebels responded with more and more arrows.
The defensive position was no longer peaceful.
The shield soldiers held their shields high and moved back and forth in the team to block the arrows that fell from time to time. Officers and soldiers with higher martial arts also took the initiative to make up for the loopholes of the shield soldiers.
Of course, there are also unlucky ones who are in the gaps in the defense. They are shot by bows and arrows in unprotected parts. Those with minor injuries receive emergency treatment, while those with serious injuries are carried out of the position.
The scene looked chaotic for a while, but the defenders all performed their duties. After getting used to the bow and arrow route, their tactical actions became orderly, and the actions of the defensive positions improved in an orderly manner.
"You see, this is the importance of tactical regulations..." Liu Yu led a group of people to observe the defensive positions.
They were some of the mid-level officers of the 3rd An Division. They listened to Liu Yu's advice and learned the defensive warfare of the 218th Division before the battle.
As for the special forces on the blocking platform, they are not something they can learn from. From the local army to the regular army to the elite troops, it is still reliable to proceed step by step.
Ding Kui waved his hand, and General Shi suddenly jumped up to a rock on the mountain wall, drew his long bow, concentrated his arrow energy, and shot at the corner of the moving wall.
At the same time, two vindictive flying fish leaped into the air, and the two master knights of the Jiang family thrust out their spears to coordinate with General Shi's shooting.
Ao Yu also stepped out of the crowd, spread his legs and ran towards the rebels.
Ding Kui kept up with Ao Yu at a high speed and showed a spear in his hand.
Five major level 6 warriors suddenly took action together, targeting a corner of the mobile wall. This time Ding Kui did not hesitate to expose a trump card, and it seemed that he had to take down the mobile wall.
The distance between the two armies is several hundred meters. Those with level six combat power can avoid most of the enemy's attacks by taking action at this time, thus ensuring their own safety.
Ao Yu dared to charge directly not because of his own dragon body defense, but because the protective wall also blocked the attack of the rebel team.
Their movements are very fast. Not many people in both armies can see clearly, but among the few people, they can react.
Arrows also flew out from the attacking troops. There were no more than two fighting spirit four-winged tigers, and a tall figure appeared above the protective wall.
"That's it?" Ding Kui raised his gun.
The tall figure jumped off the protective wall and ran towards Ao Yu, completely abandoning the fighting spirit dragon.
The fighting dragon was about to fly, and a giant elephant suddenly appeared in front of the tall man.
"Swallowing jade elephants!" Ding Kui exclaimed, "The Yao family of Rongguo Gong in Hailin Prefecture is hiding very deep."
Sure enough, a short fat man appeared behind the tall man, holding a long sword.
"Brother Yu, get up!" Ding Kui reminded Ao Yu.
Ao Yu frowned, put strength on his feet, and ran towards the sky.
Yang Kuo also played a trump card, the Yao family master knight who had previously been hidden in the army. The opponent could think of destroying the protective wall, and he could also think of the fact that a sixth-level combatant could change the battlefield situation. Every commander knew this.
The rebels indeed invested more than one legion of troops in Lixiang Valley. After a forbidden law was assassinated outside Qingda City, Yang Chao immediately sent additional experts to the front line.
He originally planned to assassinate a sixth-level warrior from the imperial army, but Ding Kui had many experts around him and could never find the opportunity.
Two level 6 warriors can take care of each other, so there is basically no possibility of a formation attack, and there is no chance of more than three. It is a tactical requirement for both sides to hide their masters.
The sudden increase of masters can break the situation on the battlefield, provided that the opponent is not wary.
Under Ding Kui's deliberate guidance, ten master-level warriors ascended to heaven.
No one wants such a destructive battle to take place on one's own side.
"Right now, the second and third battalions will replace their arrows with blunt arrows and fire a full volley at the command."
Dou Xiaoqi handed the general's flag to the guard, picked up a strong crossbow, pulled the bow string to the full position, picked a blunt skull arrow and put it into the arrow slot.
The strong crossbow has several bowstring slots, and the full slot is full of strings. It is the most powerful, equivalent to a powerful blow from a level 5 fighter, but it is also the most labor-intensive and damaging crossbow, so it is not commonly used on the battlefield.
As the name suggests, pointed arrows have strong penetrating power, while blunt arrows have impact force, causing damage caused by blunt strikes. Most of them are used to break doors and windows, and the hardness of arrow-making materials is required.
After taking aim at the target, Dou Xiaoqi blew the brass whistle hard.
A thousand soldiers pulled the triggers almost at the same time, and the Peng! crossbow arrows gathered into more than ten clusters and shot towards the moving wall at high speed.
"This!" Yang Kuo keenly captured the changes in the special operations group.
"Look at the gun!" Ding Kui fired the gun, and there was a faint sound of wind and thunder at the tip of the gun. Yang Kuo did not dare to be careless, and moved the gun in a circle, arousing the fighting spirit of the four-winged tiger, killing and beating him, trying to force Ding Kui back.
Ping ping ping ping, very dense explosions came from below, and Yang Kuo saw half of the mobile retaining wall collapse from the corner of his eye.
"It can still be like this! So it is like this!" He was furious.
The opponent's series of attacks turned out to be traps!
The purpose is to lure away these sixth-level warriors, and then use an unusually powerful attack to break down the mobile wall.
How could a makeshift protective wall block the powerful attacks of a thousand level five warriors, based on the weaknesses analyzed by the archery master?
The past events of strong crossbows blasting level six warriors surged into the hearts of the masters in the rebel camp, and the special operations group immediately rose to a position that could threaten their lives.
"Oh!" Quan Sihai also opened his eyes.
He had been staying in Xiaxi Town for a long time, and his understanding of Qiannu was not deep enough. At least he could not compare with Dou Xiaoqi. This blow swept away most of the gloom in his heart.
"The third battalion can join the attack. The cavalry will come up and then turn around." Dou Xiaoqi waved the military flag again.
Half of the protective wall collapsed, and the rest was also crumbling. The troops behind the key protective wall were exposed to the crossbow's range.
