Chapter 463: Shotgun Replacement (3)
Less than a minute after the warning slogan was blown, Guo Yi saw that people began to emerge at the foot of the mountain.
It was originally the first line of defense for the three battalions, but it was now occupied by the Noxian army and served as a base for advances.
When these people in the third battalion looked at the enemies who emerged from the trenches at the foot of the mountain, they could be said to have itched their teeth with hatred.
They didn't expect that the trench they had worked so hard to dig would now be cheaper for these people.
However, these people in the third battalion were angry, but they immediately returned to their posts, and the commander of the third battalion, Farah, a middle-aged strong man with a bearded face, came to the command position.
Although Yajia also came to the front line, he did not seize power, and was still the commander of the third battalion.
"Okay, don't stare at it, get down for me, and pay attention to the arrows." Farah, the commander of the third battalion, roared loudly.
His roar was full of anger, and even Guo Yi, who was standing not far from him, felt some pain in his eardrums.
"This sound is almost as good as a megaphone." Guo Yi couldn't help muttering.
But soon, Guo Yi's attention was diverted, because with the roar of the third battalion commander Farah, Guo Yi could see that there were dense black spots at the foot of the mountain, coming towards them.
When these black dots approached, Guo Yi realized that they were pitch-black arrows.
Boom boom!
The sound of arrows shooting at the rocks sounded, Guo Yi saw an arrow shot on the boulder next to him, and actually shot a hole the size of a fist on the boulder, seeing the power of this arrow, Guo Yi couldn't help but gasp.
Such an arrow, even if it is a third-order general, will be seriously injured if it is hit!
"His grandmother's! These bows and arrows of the Noxian army are just good! Not only is the power of our bows and arrows more than 30 percent, but even the range is 100 meters away. ”
"If we have such an equipment advantage, let's see if he dares to attack like this and blatantly!" The third battalion commander Farah hid aside and cursed, but his words made Guo Yi understand some reasons why the Ionian army was retreating.
It seems that it is not only a matter of the quality of the soldiers, but also a lot of gaps in the equipment and weapons!
"The archers are ready, and when they enter the range of three hundred meters, they will give Lao Tzu a hard beating." Farah ordered.
With his order, Guo Yi saw a group of soldiers move from the trenches to the rear, picked up the iron bows and arrows there and prepared them.
And on the Noxus side, as soon as the attack began this time, two companies were dispatched, with a force of two hundred people, which was definitely a big deal for Ionia's side.
You must know that the total strength of the three battalions is now less than 250 people.
For a time, the commander of the third battalion, who was in charge of the defense of the position, was under great pressure.
"Archers give me a counterattack!" When the Noxian army entered the range of the archers, Farah immediately ordered.
Whoosh!
Arrows flew towards the Noxian army below the mountain.
These archers in the third battalion fought very well, and they didn't release all these bows and arrows in one go.
Sixty archers, they were divided into three groups, each group of twenty people, they used the tactic of taking turns shooting, almost every five seconds, can make a batch of arrows fly, such a continuous blow, more uncomfortable than a direct large-scale attack.
However, the Noxian army was obviously very familiar with the style of play of the three battalions.
As soon as the arrows were fired from the position, more than 200 soldiers on the Noxian side immediately took their shields in their hands and lay down in the cracks in the rocks between the mountains, crawling forward.
In this way, most of the arrows will be blocked by the boulders in the mountains, and the remaining arrows will also be resisted by the Noxian army with shields.
Moreover, the archers of Noxus also immediately counterattacked, suppressing the attack of the third battalion in an instant.
"His grandma drips! Again, if it weren't for those boulders, they wouldn't have wanted to kill here if they hadn't lost fifty lives. Farah, the commander of the third battalion, scolded angrily.
When Guo Yi heard this, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, if it weren't for this boulder in the mountains, I'm afraid that the people of the third battalion would not have been able to defend it until now, and they would have been suppressed by the archers of Noxus so long ago that they couldn't raise their heads.
"Third Battalion Commander, don't get excited, have you forgotten our purpose this time? It was they who lured them here. Although Guo Yi slandered in his heart, he still comforted him.
This was the first time Guo Yi had led the Blood Flame team to participate in the battle, and he didn't want to make any mistakes.
"Hey, hey! This brother, don't worry, although I am a rough person, I can still tell the weight of the matter. Farah grinned wildly.
But soon, his face became fierce again, "However, if these bastards want to enter our camp, how can they not make them pay some price, brothers, prepare crossbows." ”
"Yes!" In the third battalion, many soldiers responded in unison.
The crossbow is far from being able to compare with these military-made iron bows in terms of power and range, but if it is shot at close range, the lethality it can cause is definitely far above the bow and arrow.
There is no other reason for this, that is, because the crossbow has a fast rate of fire and high accuracy, and this military crossbow can also be filled with three arrows at a time.
If used by a skilled soldier, he will definitely be able to load three arrows and fire them in less than three seconds.
It is conceivable that in this way, a person can fire an arrow in one second on average. If, then, there were a hundred men with such crossbows, what a terrible web of arrows would be formed.
Of course, this crossbow also has a very big weakness, that is, its range, which is only an effective killing range of 100 meters.
And because this kind of military crossbow focuses on the number of attacks, it is not very powerful.
It is more than enough to attack ordinary soldiers, but if you encounter a military general above the third order, or a soldier wearing heavy armor, it will be completely useless.
Of course, it was only ordinary legions that came to attack the position of Hatch Mountain. Therefore, when the soldiers of these two companies entered the range of fire, Farah decisively gave the order to attack.
And this time, due to the density of the attack, even though the Noxian army had rocks to use as cover, fifteen of them were still hit by arrows.
Blood flowed from these people's bodies immediately, and one of them was even unlucky enough to be killed on the spot by an arrow directly through his throat.
However, before the third battalion could organize a second attack, the hairs on Guo Yi's body stood up in an instant, and a very dangerous feeling enveloped him.
Guo Yi looked up at the sky, and he could feel that there were a large number of fire elements between the heavens and the earth, converging towards the position of Noxus below, which was a sign before the large-scale magic was cast.
Guo Yi felt this, and the third battalion commander Farah also felt it, "Damn, it seems that they are determined to attack this time!" He actually used the 'Flame Cannon' in the first place. (To be continued.) )
