In the cold night of the Northland, the temperature quickly dropped to minus 20 degrees, in addition to the biting cold and the wind like a wild dragon sweeping across the wasteland, in the face of the howling cold wind of the Northland, the fierce screams of countless people fighting also seemed a little weak, in the face of the real force of nature, the voice of human beings is so small,

"Order to advance the arrow car to the first line 30 meters!"

The fat man's face was stern as he looked at the increasingly precarious battle situation, the attack of the Northlanders changed from the all-round impact at the beginning, to the breakthrough that was more and more concentrated on the point now, no matter how good the Falcon Army was, its defense line had already broken a few holes under the concentrated attack of the Northlanders, and it was completely by virtue of the high fighting spirit that the situation on the front was stabilized

The fat man also decided to push up the lethal weapon of the box shaft this time, and as the order was given, soon a faint sound of the wheel shaft turning sounded from behind the defense line, and a full thirty newly built arrow carts, driven by hundreds of falcon soldiers, slowly revealed their hideous faces from the dark night,

The so-called arrow cart was modified by the Falcon Army after the conquest of the Roude, based on the Rode arrow cart captured in the war, this weapon similar to the enhanced version of the strong crossbow is a huge frame car-like device, which combines several ballista bows together, so as to strengthen the stability and range of the heavy ballista, and can load two ballista cars at the same time

At present, there are two types of arrow carts: double bow and arrow carts, and the three-bow and arrow carts have a very large bow and arrow head, and are generally only equipped on the warships of the Imperial Navy. Now there are only 30 double-bow carts that can be used temporarily, because of the stable bracket, the range exceeds 500 steps for the first time, and the terrifying penetration and lethality are also much stronger than ordinary ballistas.

The arrow car unit was originally deployed as the third line in the rear of the infantry line, but now in this situation, both sides have already fought bloodily, and it is already a non-stop battle.

"Reload! A hundred meters ahead" only a shout was heard, and the operators of thirty double-bow carts were busy quickly. The Double Bow Carts are much larger than ordinary ballistas, but the loading and firing process is much simpler, requiring only 7 ballistas per cart. 30 ballistas are only more than 200 people,

With the order of the former captain of the ballista, on both sides of each double-bow crossbow cart, the crossbow riders shook loudly and shook the winch that pulled the bowstring, and the two crossbow bowstrings on the car made a tooth-aching creak with the pull of the winch, and finally buckled firmly on the tooth machine behind. Two crossbowmen quickly mounted heavy bolts made of pig iron.

Each ballista could hold five iron arrows about a meter long at a time, the largest of which was as thick as a child's arm, and at the top was a half-moon-shaped sharp knife edge, from which even a hoplite would be shot and a large hole would be broken out, let alone ordinary infantry. The four arrows next to it are thinner,

In order to allow it to scatter freely and irregularly. Therefore, the tail feathers are not set when casting with a mold, and the swarthy pig iron shines with a chilling light in the cold night, generally speaking. Heavily armored infantry are not afraid of bows and arrows, and even if they are shot, if they are not shot in important parts, they are only wounded, but if they are shot by such powerful weapons, they have basically no chance of survival.

"Your Majesty, the arrow cart is ready" Seeing the flag of the commander of the arrow cart unit in the distance, Prais reported to the fat man who was commanding with a happy expression, and when he heard Prais's report, the fat man's solemn face finally showed a touch of joy, "Order the soldiers of the third section of the left flank to temporarily retreat, the northlanders want to open a gap there." We'll give him a head-on blow, just enough to hit him hard! Boost the morale of our army, which is somewhat low and tired."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Prais nodded sternly, and immediately sent someone to send the order to the left flank where the fierce battle was raging, which was the area where the Northlanders had been focusing on attacking, and the heralds who received the order did not dare to delay. Immediately rode his horse to the third section of the left flank, and as soon as he entered this area, the herald had to dismount, for there was no place for his horse to settle down,...,

The corpses of the Northlanders piled up in front of him were piled up, more than 2,000, in order to strengthen the defense, the soldiers who were stationed here piled up the corpses up to one meter high to form a real flesh and blood wall, and there were hundreds of corpses of Falcon Army soldiers, in a house at the back, the soldiers were taking advantage of the gap between the opponent's rotational attacks, carrying the wounded soldiers in,

"Sue me, where is your commander?" the herald searched around, and the tragedy in front of him also shocked him a little, and finally found the local commander resting next to the collapsed earth wall in the place full of corpses, this is a middle-aged man with blond hair, he is the second squadron leader of the Third Banner Regiment of the Central Army stationed here, Amber Aix,

"Are you looking for me?" cautiously looking at the herald's uniform, the squadron leader limped to his feet, his mouth gasped in the cold night, spewing out white smoke, a blood-stained heavy spear stuck in the soil next to him, it was impossible to tell whose blood it was, there were enemies and own,

The delicate squadron leader's iron armor decorated with the white thorn pattern coat of arms revealed the pits formed by the repeated blows of the Northland human bone knife, densely packed, about a dozen places, there were old marks, and there were also very fresh marks, a very heavy hole in his ribs, which penetrated the gap in the armor and obviously fell deep into the position of the bone, and the red cloak behind him also became slush

It was a masterpiece of the Northland reindeer cavalry, Ambo Aix still remembers the scene at that time, the other party and himself inserted the weapon into the opponent's body at the same time, the other party's hot blood splattered on his face, after a while, Ambo Aix, who thought he was finished, found out, because the opponent's bone knife had been brittle in many swings and impacts, and the result was broken in two at the end of the blow,

Amber Aix escaped the fate of being disemboweled, but he also paid the price of breaking three ribs, and every touch and movement made the strong Amber Aix frown, and the painful sting made him lean against the wall on the spot.

He didn't know if he would have such good luck in the next attack, the squadron leader armor on his body always made him the primary target of the opposing cavalry, but as the leader of the squadron, even if he died, he must die on the front line, which is worthy of those comrades who have died in advance

The herald staggered through the pile of corpses, came to him and saluted, and then said with a stern face, "Commander." It doesn't look very good here, and His Majesty orders you to immediately make a gap in the defensive line and let some of the Northlanders in."

"Get out of the way, are you sure you're not mistaken?" Amber Aix looked up at the herald again. The tone was full of fierceness, if it weren't for the other party showing the token representing his identity in time, Amber Aix would immediately order the subordinates around him loudly to arrest this guy who persuaded him to get out of the way.

In this case, it is too likely that the other side will use spies to disrupt the defense line, as long as a gap is opened. The surging Northland cavalry can rush through the entire defensive line,

As if he knew what Amboax was thinking, the herald said with a stern expression, "Although I know that this order sounds very unreliable, but this is His Majesty's order!

Amber Aix hesitated for a moment, and looked back at the Northlanders who were gathering not far away, this time the Northlanders had significantly strengthened their forces, although they could not see all of them in the night. The torches gathered on the opposite side shine like a starlight on the wasteland,

The figures of the reindeer cavalry staggered back and forth, shouting loudly. Behind the thousands of reindeer cavalry, the Northland infantry with rudimentary weapons and animal skin shields in their hands began to concentrate, crowded, black press, in front of the second squadron, at least more than 5,000 Northland troops are gathering, it seems that both Asu Russia and the fat man think that the weakest area of the defense line now is this area close to the edge of the earthen wall...,

"Alright, I'll carry out the order!" Amboaix nodded with difficulty, and said with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, "After a fierce battle in the middle of the night. More than half of the 1,100 men of the entire squadron were killed in battle, and more than 400 wounded soldiers were carried down, and less than a third of the full strength was still left on the defensive line, and all of them were wounded, even if there was no such order, I don't know if I would be able to hold on to the next wave!"

With the second squadron moving inward. Just like an empty side door unfolding in front of the Northlanders, Asu Russia also noticed this situation, but the situation in front of him made him have no choice, he could only think that this was the Falcon Army's strength under the continuous battle, and finally revealed a vacancy that was not enough to guide the people.

The tone of his order has changed from the imperative at the beginning, to a little impatient, and even a little anxious, as a good strategist, he doesn't know that the local strength advantage caused by his previous surprise attack is gradually losing with the long-term strong attack, and now whether it is him, or Vekia Falcon, like two exhausted fighters who have been fighting, no one knows who will fall first,

This is a battle of willpower between the two sides, but also a race against time, the result of a qiē depends on the result before dawn, whether they kill the Vekia Falcon in one go, or the other party survives until dawn, and the reinforcements from all sides are like bloodthirsty hungry wolves, tearing their long-tired Northland army to pieces like fragile lambs,

"Concentrate all your strength and scoop down the gap in the left flank at once!" In the face of the tight time, Asu Russia had no choice but to give a loud order, so that the war drums that had stopped beating again,

"Forward!" the words of the rumbling war drums resounded in the night sky again, and in the cold night wind, the captain of the Northland infantry resounded through the camp of the Northlanders with a rough shout, and the infantry line moved forward closely behind the reindeer cavalry in front,

All sorts of weapons were erected, in the front were spears with banners, behind were long-handled scythes, spiked nail rakes, and even guillotines, like a leafy forest, moving with a penetrating cold light, these Northland soldiers dressed in animal skin armor and scooping rudimentary weapons in their hands followed the reindeer cavalry like a flock of driven sheep,

They are not the elite of the Northland who were not afraid of death before, but the miscellaneous soldiers of some vassal tribes, the number of them is about 3,000 people, divided into four echelons and slowly moving forward like a colony of ants.

As the replacement of the main force, the cunning Asu Russia decided to use these miscellaneous troops to test whether the Falcon Army really shrank the defensive line due to insufficient troops, or arranged a trap in the gap to make it difficult for them to turn over.

As the distance got closer and closer, the tense atmosphere shrouded the heads of the Northland miscellaneous army, the black and secluded earthen walls in the distance had already been stained red with blood, and there were all kinds of miserable corpses inside and out, lying on the ground like minced flesh, broken weapons, twisted and deformed shields, and the fierce battle made it possible to trample on the corpses here, if the enemy standing in front of him with weapons still said the past, but it was getting more and more empty. More and more unsettling,

The reindeer cavalry in front of them stopped their horses in unison, and they neatly drew their sharp bone knives, and the sound of heavy hooves sounded. Like a huge triangular water chestnut arrow, the assault team composed of thousands of reindeer cavalry penetrated through the gap full of corpses like a torrent of steel.

"Attack and advance! Seize the gap!" The Northland infantry following the torrent also began to stir, although the scene before them seemed so eerie, but the cavalry had safely rushed in, which at least proved that it was safe in this gap.

With the light formed by the torches falling from the gap, hundreds of reindeer cavalry galloped from the front not far away, "Kill! The ballista not far away makes these Northland reindeer cavalry excitedly hang their sharp bone knives,...,

They hadn't seen a ballista, and they didn't know what the heavy equipment was in front of them, but these weapons in the shape of giant bows and arrows in the distance undoubtedly made all the Northland reindeer cavalry shiver. The sharp iron arrows placed in the rows undoubtedly show that this is an extremely terrible weapon of the Falcon Army.

"All. Put!"

In the darkness in the distance, the falcon crossbowmen watched as the black pressed the enemy rushing in, and even the most basic aim was omitted, and the strong man with a sledgehammer struck the trigger of the arrow cart. The trigger of the double-ballista cart was so large that it could not be shaken by human power alone, and had to be struck hard with a sledgehammer

"Bump, bump, bump!" The sound of the heavy bowstring hitting the bottom line exploded in the night like thunder, and the reindeer cavalry who were struggling to charge in the direction of the ballista did not have time to fall, only to feel a dense cold star dazzling their eyes.

The terrifying stars were like starlight bursting out of the darkness, with a deadly aura, shooting through their bodies with incredible speed,

"Puff puff!" the sound of blood exploding from the body, shredded flesh splattered in the dark night. Countless points of blood rushed to the sky 40 meters in front of the ballista cluster, accompanied by the crisp sound of broken muscles and bones of people and horses, and the screams of the deceased before they died, which were terrifying to hear in the dark night.

Countless giant crossbows swept through the Northland reindeer cavalry cluster like a violent wind, sweeping one enemy after another into the air with a huge impact, the crossbow arrows were as thick as a child's arm, and once the heavy arrows made of fine iron were shot, the northlanders on the reindeer were immediately smashed to pieces.

That's good, they died a good death compared to their comrades who were swept off by arrows. Because the crossbow arrow has no tail feathers, once it is shot out, affected by the wind and its own mass, there is no fixed ballistic trajectory at all.

Many crossbow arrows without tail fins, after shooting through their targets, were projected from the past, and swept into the crowd behind them in circles in the air like crazy spinning tops, smashing one reindeer cavalry after another from the saddle. Broken tendons, blood rained everywhere, and before he could shout for help, he was trampled to death by his companions who followed behind.

"Ah" The terrible screams came and went in the Northland reindeer cavalry cluster, and the frontal blow like a thunderstorm from the opposite double ballista truck caught the Northland reindeer cavalry unexpectedly, everyone only felt that the team in front of them was stunned, and suddenly moved again, and the whole world moved forward at a dazzling speed. Countless clusters of arrows as thick as a torrential rain pierced through the front

"Quick, load!" The crossbow bolts rang out in the arrow slot, and the crossbowmen hurried to pull the winch hard, and the crossbowmen and shield spears in front of them quickly blocked the ballista that was still loading.

The ballista is strong, but loading is a fatal weakness, and this short minute is enough to make the ballista that has just become powerful completely become scrap metal under the bone knife of the reindeer cavalry.

"Pull!" cried the ballista captain anxiously, the winch shuddered in frustration at the shout, and the fire grew larger and larger until it filled the sight.

The reindeer cavalry, battered under the fierce crossbow arrows, like drunks who have been beaten head-on, swayed from side to side, and the crossbow arrows scattered from all sides quickly knocked these enemies out of the group

More reindeer wails could be heard in the night, and the ownerless reindeer neighed wildly, smashing the dense stormtroopers into the flesh in front of them. In an instant, a low wall was piled up inside the breach.

"Forward!" The Northland Miscellaneous Army was very unfortunate enough to rush into the gap at this time, and the chaotic scene in front of them overwhelmed these Northlanders, and there were reindeer fleeing everywhere,

The reindeer cavalry that rushed to the front was now completely disorganized, and their heavy hooves trampled on them in turn

"What's the situation? The Northland Miscellaneous Army was also stunned, and at this moment, a gust of wind blew by, and countless black lights shot out like lightning on the opposite side.

Because the infantry were so close to each other, and the ranks were so dense, all the crossbow arrows hit the enemy with precision.
