Chapter 477: Three-Plate Axe
Chapter 478
Li Xing's three corpse gods jumped violently for a while, and the five spirits soared into the air. The ninety-seven corpses were like one slap after another, slapping firmly on the face. The two armies faced each other, and before the war began, Cheng Dalei gave himself a dismount.
Now Li Xing looks at his subordinates, like looking at a group of stupid pigs, to some extent, not even as good as pigs.
"Adults are angry, ...... angry," the military advisor said.
"What kind of anger, how can I be angry, how can I raise you bunch of waste. ”
Li Xing scolded there and scolded a group of people under him. The military advisor drooped his head and waited until Li Xing finished scolding before he spoke.
"My lord, we searched a group and found something outside. ”
"What is it?" Li Xing had a dark face: "Is it your lost brain?"
"Uh......"
The military advisor was awkwardly silent for a while, then waved his hand, and a subordinate came over with an object in both hands, wrapped in a furoshi, and inside was a piece of loose wood.
"This is what we found in our search last night, please see, sir, most of these corpses are arrows in the throat, and crossbow arrows are quenched with poison. After we compared, the crossbow bolts were fired by this mechanism. The military advisor explained.
Li Xing stared at the pile of scattered parts and said, "So, they have weapons that we don't know about, can they be restored by craftsmen in the army?"
Li Xing finally calmed down, and looked at the military advisor with expectant eyes.
"Uh......" The military advisor shook his head: "I've already let them see it, it's so broken that I don't know what it looks like?"
The expectant light in Li Xing's eyes dissipated, and he had a dark face: "Then what's the use of you talking to me about this?"
"Uh......"
The military advisor coughed for a while and said, "My lord, let's talk about how to fight the battle in front of us, right?"
"Inform the Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion that there will be a general attack today. Li Xing clenched his sword, and for a moment he was heroic: "I want to break the toad army today and cut off Cheng Dalei's head as a urinal." ”
At noon, the Imperial Army began to move, the drums of war were beating, and the whole army was dispatched, pressing the line forward for five miles.
Cheng Dalei watched this scene at the camp gate, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "At this time, the fight is to fight with us at night." ”
"Big boss, how do you fight now?" asked Liu Bei.
"How else can you fight, let go of the fight. Cheng Dalei said: "The elite of 10,000 Toad City can't take 50,000 imperial troops, so I don't have to fight." ”
The Imperial army continued to advance, and at dusk they assembled and launched a general assault on the Toad Army.
Trebuchets and heavy crossbows pushed forward, cavalry followed the ranged ranks, and then a dense mass of infantry. The Imperial army fought with nothing more than a three-plate axe, attacking with long-range weapons first, then the cavalry rushing forward, and the cavalry charging and then the infantry rushing.
Of course, if it is subdivided, cavalry can be divided into light cavalry, heavy cavalry, and rangers who are responsible for patrolling and guarding. The infantry is divided into heavy armor, archers, spearmen, broadsword soldiers, shield soldiers, and so on.
Cheng Dalei stood on the camp gate, holding a sword in his hand, and commanded the battlefield in person.
The imperial army had already begun to attack with trebuchets, and stone bullets were flying in the sky, and Cheng Dalei looked at it with a solemn expression for a while.
Xu Shenji and Cheng Dalei stood together, he looked at this scene, his expression was a little speechless.
"They can't hit here, why don't they push it forward?"
Cheng Dalei looked at him and said helplessly: "Liu Bei, can you explain it to him?"
Liu Bei also looked at Xu Shenji with a puzzled expression, and paused and said: "We occupy a favorable position on the terrain, they fight from the bottom to the top, naturally they can't hit us, but if they continue to push forward, they will enter our range." We are in high places, they are in low places, and our range is always farther than theirs. ”
"Oh, I see. Xu Shenji made an expression of sudden realization: "The big boss is high!"
"It's generally high. Cheng Dalei waved his hand: "Don't worry, they won't be able to fight for long, and they will only be three and a half points hot." ”
"Why is that?" Xu Shenji.
Cheng Dalei was completely speechless, and Liu Bei explained again: "Most of the terrain in Bingzhou is grassland, and it is not easy to transport the stone bullets needed by the trebuchet, so they naturally prepared a batch, but it couldn't last too long. Of course ......"
Liu Bei looked at Cheng Dalei and said, "Of course, the big boss has thought of this a long time ago. ”
"Uh...... Haha......" Cheng Dalei laughed for a while: "Of course, everything is under the control of a certain family." ”
In fact, Cheng Dalei really didn't think of this before. He sent Qin Man and others to make waves on the grassland, which did hinder the preparation of supplies by the imperial army, but this was purely unintentional and not in Cheng Dalei's plan in advance.
And Liu Bei's estimate was good, the trebuchet of the imperial army attacked for a while, and then died down, and the front of the camp of the toad army was full of stones.
"Big boss, it's getting dark. Liu Bei said.
"Hmm. Cheng Dalei glanced at the night: "It's dark, it's time for us to do it." Let the Imperial Army learn how to fight a battle. ”
The Imperial army attacked at dusk, but it had little effect. Li Xing and others are also discussing how to fight this battle.
They chose to continue their advance until they reached a distance where they could launch a frontal attack and engage the Toad Army in a hand-to-hand battle.
Cheng Dalei stood on the camp gate, staring at the bottom of the hillside, only to see the dense soldiers gathering like ants, they advanced in the dark, and the weapons in their hands flashed from time to time.
Cheng Dalei also has a certain understanding of the imperial army, most of them are composed of people, such as this kind of charging forward, naturally it is done by the death squad, I can't say, these people still have unheated silver in their arms.
After they reached the range of the Toad Army, Cheng Dalei gave the order to start attacking.
Shoot the enemy with a crossbow arrow, then push down the rolling wood and stones to clear the obstacles, and the screams under the slope of the drinking horse are one after another. However, these people can indeed be called brave, and they desperately rush up.
Cheng Dalei waved his hand and began the next round of attacks.
A bonfire was suddenly lit at the camp gate, and the trebuchets began to fire, and they blasted out with the light of the fire, and when they landed, they exploded and lit up the night sky.
The weapons developed by Toad City through gunpowder are not only one kind of fire and thunder, but now the trebuchet throws out another kind. It is similar in structure to the fire mine, which is lit with an open flame and thrown out by a trebuchet.
The Imperial Army had seen gunpowder, but not necessarily of such weapons. Most of the ordinary soldiers thought it was some kind of spell, and for a while people were panicked, and most of the morale of the army was lost.
At this time, the camp gate opened, and Zhao Zilong's dragon horse took the lead.
The Imperial Army had three axes, and Cheng Dalei also had three and a half axes, and after playing with long-range weapons, the two sides began to clash head-on.
