Chapter 480 Bloody Victory and Development of the Battle Situation
Cao Jie felt a warm current flowing throughout his body.
The original fear and worry were all gone, everything became possible before my eyes, and my body was filled with a huge amount of warmth, as if shooting down birds with a cannon was an easy task.
Holding the ballista, an action that used to be extremely difficult, has now become simple and clear, and some small problems that were not aware of in the past have also been taken seriously.
Holding the pull rope with his hand, Cao Jie was extremely sure that this shot would definitely hit the target.
The next moment, Cao Jie roared in his heart and pulled the crossbow's drawstring.
"Bang"
There was a loud noise in the air, and the thick crossbow arrow hit the bird. The arrow shaft sank straight into the bird, leaving only a small half outside the bird, making a violent trembling sound.
The shot bird staggered like a kite with its string broken, and began to fall. In just a moment, the tall bird fell to the ground, throwing up a piece of yellow sand, scattering wood pieces, and completely disintegrated.
“Well done”
He Wu was the first to speak out, slapped Cao Jun, and said with admiration, his tone couldn't help but be happy.
Cao Jie gritted his teeth, his face also filled with uncontrollable excitement, pursed his lips, looked at the other flying bird that was still approaching, and said cautiously:
"There is still one left. Killing the other one can only be called skill. Now it can only be called luck."
Saying this, Cao Jie yelled at Li Er, Zhao Niuzi and a group of crossbow artillerymen to reload their crossbows and prepare for the second shot.
At the top of Beishan City, Luo Teli looked at the destroyed Bird, his eyelids couldn't help but trembled, and he asked the commander of the Flying Bird Battalion next to him.
"What's going on? The Han army shot down a flying bird. Was the flying bird soldier too careless? Should we increase the height?"
The commander of the Flying Bird Battalion changed his face when he heard this. He looked around and saw that the Han army's crossbow arrows were still shooting all over the sky. The flying birds in the brigade were covered with arrows, but they were still flying and did not appear to be damaged at all.
The bird was shot down just now. It can only be due to what the adults said. The bird soldier made a mistake in controlling it, causing the bird to fall.
"Your Majesty is right. It should be a mistake in the control of the Bird Soldiers. I will send two more Birds to go over and be sure to kill Su Lu, the soul of the Han army."
As he said that, the ordering soldier on top of the city waved the order flag in his hand. After a few actions, two birds were separated from the Bird Soldier Brigade and moved towards Su Lu's position.
"Bang"
There was another harsh sound, and a thick arrow penetrated into the bird. The arrow shaft left outside the bird shook violently and made a harsh buzzing sound.
The commander of the Bird Battalion's expression changed. He was upset. The crossbow arrow penetrated so deeply that the Bird Soldiers were unlucky. Even the internal energy conversion box was probably destroyed.
How is it possible that the Han army can continuously shoot at flying birds? Could it be that they have developed better ballistae than I, Taixi?
The next moment, the bird fell to the ground, making a huge noise. Among the scattered wooden boards, two bird soldiers sat on chairs, motionless. A thick arrow penetrated the two people. It was
Can't live anymore.
Rotli slapped him on the battlement, and a brick was smashed, and the pieces were scattered everywhere.
"The Han people have developed a new type of ballistae with a longer range. Send the order and press the large group of flying birds."
"Even if all the birds are destroyed, Su Lu will still be killed."
Luo Teli said fiercely, Su Lu is the soul of the Han army. Without Su Lu, the Han army is useless and cannot stop the army at all. With Su Lu, the army has been repeatedly frustrated. Even if all the birds died here, as long as
If you can kill Su Lu, it's worth it.
The commander of the Flying Bird Battalion was panicked: "Sir, the Han army has obviously developed a new type of ballistae. The shooting range is far beyond the flying height of my flying bird. If we blindly advance forward, we will only be passively beaten."
Without the Bird Soldiers, next time there is a battle, he, the commander of the Bird Battalion, will have to take over. Now that the Han army has a new type of Bird Soldier, it can destroy the Bird Soldiers at any time. If he continues to be a Bird Soldier, it will be almost like giving up his life.
"It is not easy for the empire to train bird soldiers. We can no longer fight a war like this."
The commander of the Asuka soldiers struggled and said that he could not let the birds be completely destroyed, otherwise he would be doomed. The last time the Asuka battalion died, the commander who led the Asuka battalion was held accountable and has been imprisoned. He did not want to end up like this.
.
The bird soldier holding the command flag next to him was a little at a loss. Damn it, the two adults were arguing over whose order I should obey.
Rotli said fiercely: "Fight, we must fight. The Han army is powerful. If we don't defeat the Han army's arrogance this time, how will we fight in the future? More warriors in the empire will die in the Han army's formation."
Come forward, come up to me and bring up the flying birds from the brigade."
"Report, my lord, the Han infantry has broken through our front line, and the Dunjia formation has been penetrated. Lord Kate asks you to send reinforcements as soon as possible."
The half-armor of the ordering soldier was covered in blood, and the Shura mask that covered his face was also covered in blood. After delivering the military order, he panted and held his knife while panting.
Rotli suddenly turned his head and looked at the infantry battlefield. He saw that his own infantry battle formation had been penetrated by the Han army's front army. Several military formations were divided into two circles. If no additional troops were deployed,
Reinforcements, divided and surrounded, are only a matter of time.
The commander of the Asuka Battalion was overjoyed and urged: "My lord, withdraw the troops. If we don't withdraw, we will not even be able to maintain the current balance of power. We will lose the first battle. How will the Minister of War reprimand your lord? Please think again."
Rotli gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and after a moment, he let out a low growl.
"Give me the order to withdraw the troops."
"The infantry retreated first, and the Bird Battalion followed behind."
"Send the order to Blot, go forward, use birds to open the encirclement of the Han army, and provide assistance to our infantry."
Following the military orders, the Taixi Army began to retreat in an orderly manner. Under the suppression of the birds in the sky, the Han army had to let go of the circle and allowed the Taixi people to escape.
Su Lu looked at Taixi Feiniao who was retreating into the city and ordered:
"Pass this order, the people from the Ordnance Department are rushing to make new ballistae, which can hit twelve miles. Within half a month, I will have ten new ballistae."
"Gather the army, retreat ten miles to camp, and wait for the new ballistae."
"Cao Jie, I ordered you to serve as the captain of the ballista battalion to train the ballistas to practice the new type of ballistae. Target Beishan City and give me a hard training. Within half a month, you must train a batch of people who can control the new type of ballistae."
The flying bird soldiers of the ballista are coming."
Cao Jie, who shot down two new-style flying birds in succession, accepted the order excitedly, his face full of pride. He shot down two new-style flying birds from Taixi, which was the only one in Han Dynasty.
Su Lu looked at the Beishan City Wall with a heavy expression on his face. In this battle, nearly the entire vanguard battalion was killed, and most of the 20,000 men led by Hua Xuntong were also lost. It was a tragic event.
With the cooperation of Asuka, the Taixi people are not so vulnerable.
You should also hold on to your own flying birds.
"Go down with the order, gather the troops, and appease the sergeants."
Su Lu looked at the Han army who had won the bloody battle, and his face became increasingly sad. If nothing else, it would be a big problem to gather the sergeants this time.
