Power and Empire Chapter 3088: South of the East Court (7)
"Boom" facing the huge sling stone that was screaming, the wooden wall that was hit was broken like a wooden pole rolled up by a hurricane, and the dragon soldier on that section of the wooden wall was like a toy Usually thrown into the air at once, falling heavily on the ground, a mess
"Quick, save people"
The Long Family Army rushed over to the rescue. A Long Family officer stared blankly at the wooden wall where only half of the stubble had been smashed. His face was miserable and his lips trembled. The Imperial Catapult fought in Lanzhi City. In the middle of the night, the Long Family’s army has left an unforgettable fear. In the hearts of many Long Family officers and soldiers who have survived the disaster, the powerful bombardment of the imperial stone slings has become a nightmare that wakes them up at midnight. It is really because of being crushed by a rolling stone. The scene after the pressure was too terrible. The whole road was full of crushed corpses. Human blood and broken unidentifiable limbs were splashed all over, so that many soldiers of the Long family who saw this hellish scene, I vomited on the spot
The Long Family Army ordered the corpses of the soldiers killed before they evacuated. In the end, only more than 10,000 were found. In other words, more than 10,000 corpses could not be found. They were crushed by the imperial slings. How can I find it if it's minced meat?
It is said that Long Shan, the general of the Long Family who heard this result, looked bleak, and fainted on the spot again. If it was not rescued in time, this general of the Long Family would definitely be the first general of the Long Family to be angry to death in the war. , It’s no wonder that Longshan is so annoyed and frustrated, not because of his poor psychological endurance, but he was completely overwhelmed by a series of blows.
One hundred thousand dragon family troops came out of Linchuan, thinking that they could enter the northwest, cut off the imperial trade road, and finally force the empire to draw a line with the dragon family. Who knows, it’s just an inconspicuous city of Lanzhi, let the dragon The ambition of the family was extinguished, and the blood was broken. More than a hundred thousand morale troops stormed the city of Lanzhi. Within three days, the battle damage exceeded thirty thousand. The whole army was not afraid of life and death attacks, and not only did not make the slightest progress. On the contrary, it was beaten by a mere 20,000 Emperor ** team and broke down several times. The powerful weapons of the empire are endless, and the dragon family army has completely lost its confidence.
The input of the Yanmen chariot, the imperial archer of the original system, the sturdy heavy infantry, the heavy ballista, the Thor, and the sling, these are the multiple ranks of the empire that have been forged from the bones of countless enemies from the Western Continent. The defensive system of mass destruction caused the Dragon’s army, who had never encountered it in this way, to flow into a river of blood from being killed at once, accumulating countless corpses, and fighting to no avail. In the end, the result was still to withdraw from Lanzhi City in embarrassment.
If it’s just a fiasco, it’s fine, but this time the defeat of Laneige City will have only the same impact
has not only shattered the myth of the Long Family’s victorious battles, the image of the invincible hero of the Long Family has also been shattered in this battle, and it is like a boring one for the entire Long Family’s upward momentum since it entered the northwest. Stick, how many soldiers of the Dragon family fought **** battles with the grassland army in two years. How many people died and how much energy and effort they put in to gradually establish reputation and glory. In this battle, they are completely ruined. , Attacked a city with five or six times the strength of a city without even a city wall, and was beaten and collapsed. With such a fiasco, what face is there to claim to be the first battle army of China and Biya, the famous general of the Long family? What a joke!
"If the Long Family can escape back to the southwest with this result, then I really admire it!" The fat man ordered the Dongting Army to stop, and he was not worried that Longshan would turn around and retreat regardless of everything. This is also the reason why the Long Family is all over. It was an arrogant soldier who suffered such a tragic defeat. How could he swallow this breath? Sure enough, Longshan just evacuated the city of Lange, which was unfavorable for infantry fighting, and immediately stationed the army on the front line of Kaishan, and opened up with the emperor. The posture of a male and female in World War I is like saying that if I can't beat the city of Lanzhi, I don't believe that your emperor can cross Kaishan?
"Your Majesty is going to use these catapults to break through the Dragon’s defense line?’
Rui Tang Tingna was behind the Emperor’s army, watching the fat man order the slings to line up. Her eyes were full of curiosity. The power of the slings is great, but the Rolling Stones are not so easy to find. The battle of the city can be used in one place to perform concentrated bombardment on a certain section of the city wall and achieve miraculous effects. How effective is the sling in front of the wooden wall that stretches for several miles? Moreover, the wooden wall is extremely easy to repair. Once the gap is opened, it will be immediately blocked by the people inside. No matter how much stone is thrown, it means destroying the wooden wall. How much does it make sense?
"Can’t you?’
The fat man smiled disapprovingly and looked at the wooden wall
The Long Family’s military flag flying high said, “The Southwest Long Family has guarded the southwest of Central and Biya for decades, and it has pressured the southern mountains to expand northward. Only in terms of the strength of the mountains, the Long Family is in Central The region is definitely second to none. What's more, although the Long Family Army suffered a crushing defeat under Lanzhi City, the main force still has a number of 100,000. It has just been overshadowed by the empire. Now the whole army is bound to have a vengeance mentality. If you want more people to die in the Eastern Chamber, I don’t mind ordering the cavalry of the Eastern Chamber to change into infantry to attack the wooden wall."
Hearing that the fat man can change the Dongting cavalry to dismount and fight, Rui Tangtingna’s expression has changed. Using human lives to pile the city wall has always been the most tragic way of fighting. This time Dongting gathered all his strength, which is six or seven. The size of the 10,000 cavalry, and because of the eagerness to fight, most of the tribes sent are young and strong in the clan. If King Khan ordered a foot battle to attack the wall, I am afraid that there will be no 30,000 or 40,000 lives filled in, and it will not be able to attack.
I haven’t seen the slightest benefit yet. In one fell swoop, half of the young men in the East Court Department will lose more than half of the young men. Even if they do enter the Southwest, the entire East Court Department wants to regain its vitality. I'm afraid it won’t be done in ten years. By the end of ten years, how many opportunities and wealth have been missed, too much!
"Your Majesty is right, I am confused, let's use a sling!" Rui Tang Tingna quickly changed her words
"The target distance is three hundred and seventy meters, the height is thirty-nine, and the landing point is ten meters away from the expected landing point. After adjusting, shoot again!" Below the base of the huge empire catapult, an emperor checking the effect of the attack* *The officer put down the looking glass in his hand and said to the slinger who was adjusting the sling behind him. The few shots just now were just test shots. With the sling adjusted the position, the second sling trembled with the sling and passed. A beautiful arc slammed on the wooden wall of the Long’s house in front again. These wooden walls were originally **** from the trees that were temporarily cut down by the Long’s family. They were not so indestructible. They were mainly used to stop the cavalry who launched the charge. There was dust and sawdust at the place of impact, and the wooden wall was broken and broken, but just as Rui Tang Tingna thought, this is a mountainous area, and there is no shortage of wood. As soon as there is a gap, a craftsman will immediately repair it. , The gap was closed soon
"Your Majesty, everything is ready" The officer who previously ordered the adjustment appeared in front of the fat man
"Today's wind is good." The fat man took his gaze back from the Long Family Army Banner that was blown upright by the mountain wind, muttered to himself, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and waved his hand. "Raise the battle flag, Chuan Lingdong The army is ready, let's start!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The officer saluted and retired
"Change incendiary bombs! "The shout from the catapult gave Rui Tang Tingna a chill, and a cold air rushed to her head from her tailbone, and the whole person was covered, incendiary bombs? . . . . Empire incendiary! Isn't it a rolling stone? Yes, the entire Obalo knew that the imperial slings used incendiary bombs. Where did the Dragon’s house not be well-arranged for defense, and even drove the entire army to the mountain, and built such a long wooden wall in such a coordinated manner. This is not what it is to find the fire, even if the Long Family is not bad at fighting in the mountains, but under such a wildfire, still want to stop the advancement of the large group of cavalry, that is idiotic! With the wildfire to open the way, the army marched in, dodged the fire, but also could not dodge the cavalry on the whole line, the Long family is over!
"Khan King ordered, the whole army is ready!"
Several imperial light cavalry galloped past the entire row of East Court cavalry, their horses hoof lifted up the soil on the ground, like shooting stars, tearing shouts, like awakening a huge monster, wow, the sound of armor collision, Just like the noise of the waves, the elite of the East Court of 50,000 or 60,000 began to fasten the reins of the war horse in their hands.
"brushing" is like being violently blown by the wind, rolling up the vast earth, and then hearing the preparation order, tens of thousands of cavalry move forward neatly, seeming to cool the air a bit, relying on superb control Horse skills, clamping the horse under the hips, without too much hesitation, almost at the same time neatly advancing,
The battle train progressed smoothly and orderly, and the burst of cold light began to raise the entire row of spears. In front of each army flag, behind the armor of the centurion, a falcon was standing against the flag, which looked like a flag from a distance. Sea
"Attention, the emperor is going to be on!"
The dragon family's army on the wooden wall was silent for a moment, and the bows and arrows were pulled apart, neatly facing forward, holding the spear in his hand, and erecting the shield, just waiting for the imperial army to hit it. For a moment, it is false to say that it is not nervous, the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, who does not know that the imperial cavalry is more powerful than the steppe army
To be terrible, in the battle of the Northwest Wilderness, the 100,000 Grassland Army was so scared that they fell without a fight, and the empire’s outstanding performance in Lanzhi City also proved that they were definitely not infamous.
"Are you coming?"
Longshan made a robe, his head full of white hair was blown by the splitting mountain wind. At this moment, his tense hands were heavily pressed against the wooden wall fence, with bloodshot eyes, and the fact that he looked ahead was like a sea tide. The imperial cavalry who came slowly, just thinking, came, finally came! As long as the empire is willing to come, I’m afraid that the empire’s army will be on the front line of Kaishan, forcing myself not to deploy troops to return support
"The empire is so arrogant that it wants to attack us with cavalry? Wouldn’t it be better? After defeating these imperial cavalry, we can get back!" General Long’s look beside Longshan looked at such a dense cavalry cluster. , I couldn’t help holding my breath and opened my eyes wide, wanting to see the rumored appearance of the imperial cavalry clearly
I saw melee cavalry wearing heavy armor at the front. These melee cavalry have a semi-circular tower shield inlaid on the armor in their left hand, and a low-hanging lancet in their right hand. They have a sophisticated cleat armor. In the sun, it is like a long strip of light, with only about three or four thousand people, but it is definitely the edge of the entire army's final advancement.
A large number of surging behind is the famous imperial bow rider. The number of people is densely packed, and they are all black, and they are all differently dressed. A triangular flag representing an unknown meaning is fluttering in the wind, with a pointed leather cap on the head and behind him. Carrying a recurved compound bow, the horse's flanking hook is a three-meter cavalry spear with a cold light, and on the right is a falcon-shaped cavalry shield with a golden hot edge. The horse is lightly armed, only partly armored at the front, without too much weight. , Can be regarded as assault cavalry, can also be regarded as archer, the number is also the largest, there are thirty or forty thousand,
Finally, they are archers in the true sense. They only wear the simplest armor. The weapon is the prairie bow in their hands. They are located on both sides of the advancing queue. They cross the front mountain pass at a very fast speed and are in the cavalry group. Behind him, countless fireballs are like fiery red meteors rising rapidly from the direction of the emperor,
"Fireball?" Longshan was stunned, and the generals of the Long family were also stunned.
Fire attack? The emperor actually used fire attack? The generals were in an uproar~IndoMTL.com~ Some people even smiled unconsciously. It's so funny. I didn't expect to see such a wonderful sight on the battlefield. "The Western Barbarians are the Western Barbarians. I don't even have this common sense. How could it be possible to light up the rainy mountain forest! Do you really think that Longshan would be so stupid that I could not prevent fire?" Longshan's mouth also grinned, it was too fun. I thought the opposite was a smart opponent. Who knew it was a mentally retarded person who was not clear about common sense,
boom" The first lesson of the fireball hit the wooden wall, like a huge ball of light exploding suddenly, and the fire splashed. Some dragon soldiers who had no time to dodge were already shrouded in it. Suddenly there was a miserable cry. The imperial incendiary bomb contained oil. Even if it burned like damp trees, one could immediately see a large scattered area burning. The flames of the mountain breeze soared, and the wooden walls of several meters were completely covered. Lit up
"Fire, it's on fire!" A General Long family shouted in horror,
Longshan's body trembled slightly, and the command sword in his hand almost fell to the ground, and the other generals had a devilish expression. They really caught fire, they didn’t bear it, and they burned quite vigorously. Just when they were stunned, hundreds of fireballs had already smashed on the wooden wall like a torrential rain, and saw arcs of light traces across the void, exploding one after another on the wooden wall, "Boom Rumble" seemed to respond the same. At the location of the landing, the red light ball rolled up, and the object flew up. Under everyone's dumbfounded sight, the wooden wall was hit by the fireball with flames, and the fire was even more intense. Fierce, where the fire falls, even if there is nothing to burn, the soil is still smoking
