Chapter 387 bombing the camp after a rain of arrows
The Qi people's birds have already taken off and are hovering above the Qi army's formation.
The dark Qi army formed an array, with flying flags everywhere. Amid the neighing of men and horses, messengers on horseback galloped back and forth.
Crossbows and trebuchets have also been lined up behind the Qi army's formation, ready to unleash the fury of war as soon as the battle begins.
In the main formation of the Han army, flags were also flying, people were roaring and horses were neighing, ballistas were set up, and birds had already taken off and started to hover.
Su Ping stood on horseback beside Su Lu, his sunburnt face full of worry.
The Qi army was powerful, and it was also a coalition army. Military formations composed of Yingte people were interspersed among them. What was even more worrying was that the birds in the sky were somewhat different from the birds shot down last time.
Since following Su Lu, Su Ping saw solemnity on his second brother's face for the first time.
"In formation, the sword and shield soldiers move forward to form a formation with spears and turtle shells."
Su Lu ordered.
This is a tough battle. Even with the bonus of battle formation cards, Su Lu believes that this is still a tough battle.
Although the Qi army was weak, its numbers were large enough. If there were too many ants, the elephant would be crushed. If the tens of thousands of Qi troops opened up their formation, it would take half a day for the Han army to kill them.
More than a dozen cavalry messengers ran away and shouted military orders around the military formation, conveying the tension before the battle.
"Ballista, crossbowmen prepare, launch."
Su Lu continued to give instructions. Since it was a big battle, the ballistas and crossbows should be pulled up first, and the flying birds would be sent up to bombard them indiscriminately.
"Instruct Su Yun to move the Bird Formation forward and prepare to attack. I allow her to find opportunities to defeat the enemy on her own."
The ordering soldiers began to wave the formation flag and convey military orders to the flying bird soldiers.
…
In the main formation of the Qi army, there are more than a dozen generals of the Qi army wearing scarlet and purple, guarding several young elite generals.
The leader is Viscount William, the British military attaché in Qi, and next to him is his deputy Lorraine, and Robert, the commander of the surviving bird soldiers.
"Sir, the Han army, no, it's the Taixi people's flying birds that have moved. Our flying birds must move forward, otherwise our formation will be attacked."
Robert urgently reminded Viscount William that if the Taishi birds were allowed to attack first, the Qi army might collapse. If the Qi army collapsed, his family would be doomed.
Lieutenant General Lorraine laughed contemptuously: "Robert, you are worrying too much. This is the latest flying bird transferred from the empire. Its speed and weapons are far superior to those of the Western flying bird. They are all veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles and will not fight with you."
Same, give Tessie Bird time."
Robert's expression changed. He was mocking himself for being such a waste. This was unbearable. I will not say anything from now on.
Viscount William waved his arm, and the guards beside him waved flags, giving the order to the bird soldiers in the sky to attack. Although his own birds were all the strongest birds, the bird soldiers were not necessarily the strongest.
If you attack early, you will definitely not go wrong.
The Yingte Bird Formation slowly moved forward, assuming a posture to attack the Han Army's formation.
The bird formations from both sides began to approach.
The Han Army's Bird Formation began to rise.
The Yingte Bird Formation also slowly increased, and both parties began to increase at the same time.
The flying birds of the Han army suddenly leveled off, and the birds' heads were aimed at the flying birds of the Qi army.
"Really looking for death"
The Yingte Bird Soldier roared excitedly, the Taixi people are really useless, they just climbed to such a small height, but they can't go up. The Taixi people's birds are really not good.
"Boom boom boom"
Continuous arrows were shot out, nailing the bird panel led by the Intel bird soldiers.
Commander Yingte's heart tightened and he looked at Asuka opposite him in shock.
How is it possible? Birds can not only shoot arrows from below, but can only attack their own birds when they climb to a high enough height. How can the Han people's birds attack when they are at the same height as themselves, and the arrows are densely packed.
"Boom boom boom"
There was another continuous sound of arrows nailing the wood, and another Han Army Bird launched an attack.
However, the bird that was attacked did not have such good luck as Commander Yingte. It seemed that the front panel was shot through, and after two whining sounds, the bird fell completely.
The flying bird fell to the ground and was instantly thrown to pieces.
On the ground, Robert looked at the downed Interbird in shock, his face full of shock.
How could it be possible? The two Birds were both at the same height, so why was my own one shot down? Could it be that the Bird soldiers deserted and damaged the Bird?
Viscount William's expression changed. This was not a good sign. As soon as the battle began, a flying bird was damaged and shot down. Could it be that this battle was going to be lost?
Lorraine cursed and said: "How did this bastard lead the army? A good bird fell from the sky. When the war is over, I want him to look good."
Robert's expression was ugly: "Sir, the bird didn't fall from the sky, but it was attacked and shot down by the Taixi people."
Viscount William's expression changed and he ordered.
"Go forward, the army goes forward to receive the Bird Soldiers' return. The Bird Soldiers are the wealth of the empire and cannot be lost."
As soon as the military order was issued, the Qi army began to move forward, and the Yingte team also began to move forward, making an attack posture. Qi people, who were used as cannon fodder, rushed up and surrounded the fallen birds, trying to rescue the bird soldiers.
In the Han army's formation, Su Lu gave instructions.
"Crossbow artillerymen, crossbowmen, project, according to the determined angle, project."
"Send orders to Su Yun to defeat the enemy's bird soldiers as soon as possible and attack the Qi army's main formation."
"I want the Qi army to cause chaos and destroy its formation."
Following Su Lu's military order, the messengers rushed out as if they were flying, the formation flags were waving, and the Han birds in the sky began to rise.
“Bang bang bang”
The long bow installed in front of the flying bird continued to shoot arrows. Although it was not accurate, the distance between the two flying birds was not far. After a shower of arrows, many of them landed on the Yingte flying birds.
Inside the flying bird, Su Yun ordered the deputy lieutenant to speak.
"You help Han Yun control the long bow and prepare to launch arrows. I will raise the flying bird."
The lieutenant's face looked a little ugly: "Now we have reached the limit height of our flying bird. No matter how high it is, you will not be able to control the stability of the flying bird."
Su Yun held the joystick and said with a pale face: "Don't worry, I still have this little inner breath. You go and assist Han Yun in controlling the longbow. This time we will not only kill the enemy's flying birds, but also the Qi army."
Scared away."
"If you dare to snatch the bird I shot down, I'll let you look good this time."
Su Yun's flying bird continued to climb, and soon it was higher than the flying bird led by Yingte. No matter how much he urged his inner breath, he could not catch up with Su Yun's flying bird.
"shoot"
Su Yun gave the order.
The two deputies took their inner breath at the same time, and with a flash of cold light, clusters of arrows were sprayed out. A small half landed on the top of the two slightly lower flying birds, and most of the rest hit the ground.
The Qi army that had snatched the flying bird soldiers and was retreating suffered disaster instantly. Arrows fell from the sky like rain, instantly covering a large area of the Qi army, and screams rang out.
The fleeing Qi troops were pierced by arrows falling from the sky. Some were directly stared at the ground, some had their shoulders pierced, bleeding profusely, and some had half of their bodies destroyed by the arrows.
The Qi army collapsed immediately.
The brothers who were still alive and kicking just now turned into flesh and blood in the blink of an eye, and the surrounding area turned into a Shura field, with terrifying blood red everywhere.
The Qi army, which was originally in disarray, fled in all directions in an instant.
In mid-air, Su Yun, who had just shot down two flying birds and was about to continue his promotion, looked at the Qi army fleeing on the ground in shock. The Yingte troops waved their butcher knives, but they still could not stop the Qi army's flight.
What happened just now?
Su Yun and the two lieutenants looked at each other, both of them were equally confused.
