will of the planet

Chapter 43 Chapter 64: Shek O
Shi Ao was born in a civilian family in Huangsha City. He joined the army as a young man. Relying on his rich combat experience, he was gradually promoted from an ordinary soldier to a captain.

As a commoner, even though he made outstanding achievements, he was not promoted to the title of knight. He was unknown for several years and was finally forgotten.

But a few months ago, the nobles of Huangsha City came to him, handed him 5 people, and appointed him to go forward and conquer the occupied Huangsha Town.

In order to accomplish this task, Shi Ao once used a proposal to confuse the enemies of Huangsha Town with the idea of ​​a seed dealer, and launched a night attack, but unfortunately failed.

Although he failed, he managed to keep as many soldiers as possible.

But he was still dismissed. He was already disheartened, but he didn't expect those nobles to find him again a few months later.

This time the nobles did not take any of his proposals, and only asked him to bring 1 soldiers to ambush not far from the town of Avery.

This was his last chance, and he swore he would never fail again.

"Why haven't the spies you sent out come back yet?"

Shi Ao was a little strange, according to his estimation, he should have come back long ago.

"Be safe and don't be impatient." Shi Ao's adjutant said indifferently.

Shi Ao was a little displeased. The reason why the adjutant dared to talk to him like this was because he was here to supervise him. In the final analysis, the nobleman did not fully trust him.

The spies sent out again after a little time came back and hurriedly shouted: "It's not good, there is an enemy attack!"

Before he finished speaking, an arrow flew over and shot through his chest.

Not far away, a group of soldiers chased after him.

"There is an enemy attack!"

It was only when the soldiers ambushing here realized that Shi Ao, who was behind, didn't care why the opponent found him, and immediately mobilized his troops to face the enemy.

Due to adequate preparations, the soldiers quickly set up their formation, and as long as the enemy was getting closer, they would launch a fierce attack.

"What's that?" shouted a soldier.

Shi Ao said with a serious face, "Is that the cannon?"

Many soldiers escaped from the front line, and the nobles in Huangsha City also learned that the enemy had artillery, but they basically thought that the deserters made excuses.

Cannons are only owned by the royal family of the Middle Kingdom. How could a small group of enemies who don't know where they come from also have cannons.

Even if the enemy has artillery, they only need to wait until the opponent and the new noble forces are both defeated, and they can reap the benefits of the fisherman.

For this reason, the nobles of Huangsha City also sent a large number of archers, as many as 5.

Having such an archer is also the reason why Shi Ao is so confident, but now seeing the opponent's artillery with his own eyes, he is a little worried.

"They stopped?" Shi Ao was taken aback, he suddenly had an ominous premonition.

A few seconds passed, only a few loud noises were heard, and several pitch-black balls flew over quickly, and three of them smashed into the formation of the archers.

The body of the attacking archer in the front row was directly shattered, and a large piece fell down. Not many died, but many were injured.

Shi Ao's expression turned ugly, and he ordered: "Full speed ahead!"

"Do you want the soldiers to die!" The adjutant shouted. In his opinion, if the opponent uses such a powerful weapon, if they don't retreat, they will die.

If these precious archers were all dead, even if Shi Ao took the blame, he would not be able to escape the responsibility as an adjutant.

"They have cavalry, we can't run away!" Shi Ao explained, last time it was mostly luck to escape, but this time there is no luck, and most of them are archers, they can't outrun the cavalry, even The infantry couldn't run.

The adjutant didn't listen to Shi Ao's words at all, and said: "No, I can't let you take soldiers to die!"

The adjutant was about to explode, Shi Ao immediately ordered: "Suppress the adjutant!"

A few soldiers came over, but they didn't dare to make a move, Shi Ao said angrily: "Disobeying the military order will be dealt with by the military law!"

The soldier's body shook, and he suppressed the adjutant who was about to flee. He struggled and shouted: "Shi Ao, you will pay for your actions!"

After such a delay, a few more shells came over, smashing the archers into pieces.

However, Shi Ao's order was passed on quickly, and the soldiers were a little puzzled, so they bit the bullet and ran towards the enemy.

Because the firing speed of the artillery was relatively slow, the Zhongdi soldiers had already ran tens of meters before launching the third wave, killing nearly 3 archers.

When the 4th wave is approaching, the range of the archers has been reached, but the enemy is not doing nothing.

Many soldiers stood in front with tons of guns in their hands, and the archers also shot the first wave of arrow rain.

Human archers have a longer range than Zhongdi archers. This is because of their size advantage and greater strength, and the bows and arrows they use are much larger than those used by Zhongdi archers.

Shi Ao ignored this, he was extremely annoyed, and began to regret his order.

But he knew that if he ordered a retreat, he would basically be unable to escape the pursuit.

Now that so many soldiers have been lost, he can only apologize with death when he goes back, so he can't take a step back.

A wave of arrow rain covered them, and nearly a hundred Zhongdi soldiers were hit by arrows, but they also launched a counterattack at the same time, and a wave of arrow rain shot over.

Everyone suffered losses, but 10 shells were fired, knocking down the infantry in the middle of the front, which greatly affected their morale.

Since some of the human archers were sent out, and a large number of Chinese infantry stood in front, they couldn't fight each other's consumption.

The infantry of the two sides also formally engaged in hand-to-hand combat. Although the number of human infantry was lower than that of the Zhongdi infantry, their fighting was stronger and they had the upper hand for a while.

The current situation of the 10 artillery is a bit embarrassing. If they shoot, they will not hit the enemy, but their own people!
Lin Xiao hesitated, but the situation is still in his favor. Now his side only lost nearly 1 people, even though the opponent's loss was five times theirs.

What is strange is that this group of soldiers is about to lose half, but they haven't collapsed yet!
The reason is also very simple. As an officer of this group of soldiers, Shi Ao went to the battlefield in person. His status as a civilian made him a hero of these soldiers.

The hero goes to the battlefield in person, which also gives the soldiers great courage!
But Lin Xiao's cavalry troops had already arrived. As soldiers, they naturally knew what they should do now. They outflanked the Zhongdi soldiers and charged towards the Zhongdi archers' position!

If the infantry still has a little combat power and they are afraid to face the cavalry, then the archers will be a nightmare to face the cavalry.

The cavalry went straight in, and more than half of the Zhongdi archers were lost immediately. The number of people who could fight again was less than a hundred, and the remaining archers couldn't feel at ease to continue shooting.

Without the threat of the archers, Lin Xiao sent out the few line infantry brigades behind and walked straight from the flank.

Following an order, lead bullets were fired, and a large number of Zhongdi infantrymen fell down. This was even more terrifying than bows and arrows. As long as they were hit by one shot, they would surely die.

The small-scale Zhongdi soldiers had already collapsed. They either turned around and ran for their lives, or threw away their weapons and surrendered.

The rest of the soldiers finally collapsed when Shi Ao died...
