Power and Empire Chapter 1312: The Battle of Dongjin (8)

The Dunkers were completely out of control under the sudden blow of the Fifth Banner of the Southern Army. A large number of people rushed out of the fortress and hit the dense rain of arrows, the bowstring of the Falcon Army infantry crossbow. , Constantly making a shocking sound from a hundred meters away, clusters of arrows are like violent storms, and locusts are extinguished, dense enough for everyone to divide into two or three.

"Ahhhhh"

The arc-shaped fan outside the exit of the fortress is completely a tragic massacre field. The Dunkerians rushed forward, and then they were turned over to the ground by a whole row of soldiers. Countless soldiers were like being swept by giant sickles. The whole piece of wheatgrass fell down under the arrow rain that hit like a torrential rain..

The arrows are harvesting lives with an unimaginable density of strikes, crosses, and rounds. After the improvement of the skill of the Southern Army's skilled crossbowmen that they use pulleys to pull the bowstrings, they have increased to 12 rounds per minute, which is an average of five. Intensively once per second, such as

If it is on the open ground, the crossbow hand may need to count the aiming time. It will take about 7 to 10 seconds for a shot, but on the already-arranged hitting plane, the crossbow hand is hardly needed. In any time, you will be able to target the crossbow arrows to the enemy who is completely messy on the cross surface.

"Load, click!"

The voice from the captain in shè's hand seemed so cold at this moment. The mechanical and neat movements of the crossbowmen caused the corpses of Dunkirk soldiers to spread from the fortress to the arc of fifty meters in front. On the face of the fan, some Dunkirk soldiers who found it hopeless backed up, after desperate, they even looked at the compatriots who were still pouring out behind them with their weapons in their hands..

"Go back, I don't want to die!"

"There is an ambush, everyone will go back to the castle!"

Amidst the chaos, these shouts from the outside are so pale and weak, their voices have not yet been fully shouted, the dense clusters of arrows from the two wings shè into their bodies from behind, strong Crossbow arrows penetrated their bodies. Blood was splattered, and the minced meat flew around, like a torn cloth, making a pouting, solemn sound. Someone wanted to lie in the pile of corpses and pretend to be injured, but the people behind ran from the narrow exit of the fortress again and again. Come out and trample him into a pulp,

In the gray sky, even the sun couldn't bear to hide, this tragic killing. It lasted for more than half an hour before the impact of the Dunkerians in the fortress began to stop, and no one dared to run out again

"You fools, see it now!"

Just now, I tried to stop Benisaf, who was unsuccessful. At this moment, in Yinn, less than 2 meters from the exit of the fortress, he struck a hard punch against the solid rock, blood flowed from his fist, and a large number of soldiers stopped by him. His face was pale and completely shocked by the sight in front of him.

None of the people who ran out previously survived. The **** water gurgled into the dry winter soil. The entire moat outside the fortress was stained red, and the corpse floated on it. As the river slapped on the bank, the wounded soldiers were crushed in the pile of corpses and screamed for help. No one had time to pay attention to them. A large amount of human blood made the ground muddy. The sight is tragic and tragic

"If you still trust me, give me all back!" Benisaf stretched out his hands and turned around from the gate of the city, both blood red.

The tall and burly body almost blocked the light coming in from the entrance. His eyes were swept, thinking of the scene just now, the soldiers were ashamed not to face them, and everyone began to retreat into the fortress step by step.

"Count the numbers of the teams! The guards, and some people went to the gravel to find the wounded, they all gathered under the city wall, we may need to prepare..." Benisaf came out of the city crossing last,

He ordered people to block the exit with gravel, and then started to reorganize the queue. He knew that the battle was not over yet, it was just a break for the opponent, and the real battle had just begun. Time, the Falcon Army outside the city found that no one came out again, and would definitely resort to forceful attacks. At that time, it would be a life and death battle.

"Legislative commander, our army has a total number of 5,231, of which 2312 are wounded." The figures reported by the guard made him look better, and suddenly he looked solemnly as if he was going to drop it.

"What a shame!" God Benissaf raised his head in pain, and looked at the sky with thick black smoke above his head. What kind of opponent is this! Until now, apart from the fierce and accurate arrow rain, and the incendiary attack that resembled the sky at the beginning, I didn't even know what my opponent was like. I was too frustrated. The opponent's long-range strike ability is simply Is in absolute control,

In less than half a day, the menacing Dunker army suffered the death of the marshal, and the 20,000 troops suffered more than three-quarters damage. Now there are less than 3,000 soldiers capable of picking up weapons, and most of them Everyone is wounded,

And those who wounded more than 2,000 soldiers in the collapse made Benisav feel at a loss. These wounded soldiers were pulled out of the gravel, either with broken hands or feet, lying there. Crying in pain,

Because of the lack of treatment drugs and wound gauze, the wounds of these soldiers were broken and exposed, covered with dirty dust, which looked like a mass of blood and mud, shocking, pain in their mouths The shouts and the maddening depression in front of him made the other soldiers also start to look uneasy.

"Are we all going to die here?"

Soldiers who can fight are discharged separately. Although no one asks like that, the **** in every soldier’s eyes is like this. It is a desperate god. They hold weapons with hands hanging down. It’s like walking dead

A daze flashed in Benisaf’s eyes, his morale was low, and the army had no fighting spirit. How should he persist in this battle!

"Legislative Commander!" A guard in charge of cleaning up suddenly ran over nervously, and whispered in Benisaf's ear, "I...we found Marshal Ushuaia".

"What!" Benisav's eyes were bulging and he thought he had auditory hallucinations, until the guard reaffirmed, "We have found Marshal Ushuaia, because the marshal was very lucky to fall into the chaos. In the cracks between the walls of the collapsed city, he was temporarily stuck. When we found him, we only suffered minor minor injuries."

"What are you waiting for, hurry, take me...!" Benisaf grabbed the guard by the hand,

"No, I can still go by myself!" Before his words fell, the dusty and embarrassed Marshal Ushuaia, supported by several guards, limped slowly. Coming from a distance, although he was a bit guilty, compared to the wounded soldiers with broken hands and feet, the old marshal was in a pretty good situation. He came out with a layer of skin on his knees and looked bloodstained. Others are due to the strong general armor, so there is almost no injury.

"How many of us are there?" The Marquis of Ushuaia took a look at the situation, his face was suddenly pulled down, and his voice was a little faintly asked, but the whole God looked good, he looked sharply at the saluting Benisav

"5231 people!" Benisaf raised his head, and the **** replied solemnly,

"I mean someone who can participate in combat!" The Marquis of Ushuaia gave Benisav a deep-eyed look. They are all soldiers. Is this kind of trick interesting?

"Less than 3,000!" Benisaf's face is ugly, and he can only report it according to the facts.

"Three thousand people..." The Marquis of Ushuaia muttered to himself with a slightly trembling lips. This number made him close his eyes in pain, two rows of sad tears rolled down, 20,000 troops, this is all They are the most needed and the best fighters in the Principality. The 20,000 soldiers who attacked this time were all selected from the 80,000 soldiers. More than half of them were veterans. But now, there are only 20,000 soldiers left. Such a small number of people,

In this battle, the Principality’s hard work over the past few years has been wasted. If you want to make a difference, it will take at least 5 years, 5 years. For the determination to defeat the Normans, here For the Grand Duke who won the final victory in the sub-regional consul election, I am afraid that it would have been a long time to wait for another moment. It will be another 5 years. Who knows what will happen then!

"Is it over?"

Outside the city, Cleveland, the commander of the Fifth Banner of the Southern Army, glanced coldly across the calm killing fields in front of him, frowned slightly,

It shouldn’t be. Although the opponent suffered heavy losses in the collapse, according to Dunkir’s 20,000 troops, at least there should be more than 10,000 combat power, but in just half an hour, Dunkirk Only 4,000 corpses were left in the ambush circle,

There is no standing target on the attack surface now, which proves that the enemy has given up the possibility of continuing the attack

"It seems that the other party is not all fools either! Or, I have noticed it!" Cleveland's eyes flickered~IndoMTL.com~ Some depressed, turned his head and ordered, "Come on, send an envoy as usual. , Tell them, surrender or die! Make a choice like a soldier"

He roughly estimated that under his own series of attacks, there should be less than 5,000 people in the castle that can fight Dunkirk.

Although they were lucky enough to escape the catastrophe, the five thousand remaining people at this moment must be exhausted, hesitant, panicked, and full of wounded soldiers.

However, in this case, the last part of the force can be retained, and the ability of the opposing commander must also be very good.

During the predicament, the more likely an unimaginable fierce resistance will erupt, and if you just rush in, there will be some unavoidable casualties.

Moreover, this time the legionary department has issued an order. If possible, the main goal is to capture the opponent’s senior generals.

In this way, we can obtain the internal intelligence of neighboring countries in the shortest time,

Now, it's time to make a choice, to give the enemy the choice of surrendering or annihilating them all! It has always been the tradition of the Falcon Army. (To be continued.)
