The king behind the empress

Chapter 419 Probing Attack
"The enemy general is dead, kill!"

With Yang Yanzhang's current strength, it is difficult for ordinary generals to do a round under him, and Hu Bin, whose strength is only at the marrow washing level, is naturally within the scope of this ordinary general.

And just after Yang Yanzhang picked up Hu Bin's head, he suddenly realized that his action was a bit redundant, because except for some of Hu Bin's personal guards who were still resisting, the rest of the light cavalry had already scattered and fled.

Wearing invulnerable iron armor, rushing into the light cavalry camp at high speed, coupled with the strength of the red flame dragon cavalry, Hu Bin's light cavalry is like fragile glass, which will collapse at the touch of a touch.

Even though some soldiers resisted a bit, they were overthrown by the Red Flame Dragon Knight before the spears in their hands pierced them. Even with occasional exceptions, some light cavalry could stab them in confusion. Red Flame Dragon Knight.

But they stabbed the armor of the Red Flame Dragonrider with all their strength, not only failed to hurt the Red Flame Dragonrider, they didn't even have the qualifications to shake the Red Flame Dragonrider's body.

On the other hand, the Red Flame Dragon Knight, after realizing that he was being attacked, just swept away, and the person who just stabbed the Red Flame Dragon Knight would be stabbed to death without even having a chance to react.

This is not a war of the same magnitude at all, it cannot even be called a war, it is a massacre.

The strength, equipment, and mounts are all far superior to those of the light cavalry. The red flame dragon rides freely in the battle formation of the light cavalry. Obviously there are far more people than the red flame dragon ride, but these light cavalry still have only the fate to be slaughtered .

And after realizing this huge gap, those light cavalry would naturally not stay and die in vain, and fled directly away from the Red Flame Dragon Knight. opposite dilemma.

But even so, there were still light cavalry who were knocked off their horses by the chaotic friendly forces. In this case, there was only one end for falling off the horse's back, and that was to be trampled to death by countless horseshoes.

After seeing this situation, Yang Yanzhang shook off Hu Bin's head, and then galloped his horse towards the fleeing light cavalry.

If these cavalry were allowed to flee back, they only needed a little rest before they could fight again, so Yang Yanzhang had no intention of letting them go.

When Yang Yanzhang chased down a cup of tea with the Chiyan Dragonriders, these light cavalry were almost killed, and only some lucky ones who did not run towards the camp barely survived, but it seems that even if they escaped from Chiyan The pursuit of the dragon riders still hasn't stopped, but we can know that even if these people can escape, they probably won't return to Hu Yudong's command again.

Therefore, in just one battle, Hu Yudong's 3 cavalry army was completely defeated by Yang Yanzhang.

After the victory, Yang Yanzhang didn't intend to stop at all. He waited for Geng Qi and Xin Yan to approach him, and then directly rushed towards the camp closest to him.

Situ Yao sent to stop his army, but he defeated him in just a cup of tea. If Situ Yao didn't have any backup means, then he might directly enter Situ Yao's camp.

Not to mention beheading Situ Yao, at least it can completely disrupt the camp that Situ Yao has not set up yet. If luck is a little bit better and the camp roars, then maybe the camp can be destroyed directly.

"Whoosh ... whoosh ... whoosh ..."

Before Yang Yanzhang's Red Flame Dragonrider could approach, a wave of arrows shot from Situ Yao's camp immediately.

Although this wave of arrows hitting the armor of the Red Flame Dragonrider did not cause casualties to the Red Flame Dragonrider, the quick reaction of Situ Yao's camp still gave Yang Yanzhang a sense of foreboding.

Because it takes time to mobilize the army, if these archers were arranged hastily, it is impossible for the arrow rain to be so dense, so Situ Yao may have already made preparations for the defeat of the light cavalry.

Thinking of this, although Yang Yanzhang had no intention of withdrawing his troops, he did raise some caution in his heart. He slowed down by two minutes, and then said in a deep voice, "Go to the bow."

Yang Yanzhang, who was going to directly attack Situ Yao's camp, now changed to a conservative style of play, and decided to use bows and arrows to test a wave first. If Situ Yao's camp was not prepared enough, he would go straight in, and if Situ Yao's camp was already If he is fully prepared, then he will temporarily give up his plan to rush to the camp.

After all, the big camp is not suitable for cavalry, and Situ Yao has tens of thousands of people in one big camp. Although the 10 of them are very strong, if Situ Yao is prepared to rush in, then these people Surely there will be casualties.

And it would be a loss for Yang Yanzhang to exchange Situ Yao's ordinary soldiers for his own Red Flame Dragonriders, no matter how many people they exchanged, so he would definitely not do this kind of thing lightly.

"Scatter around the camp and shoot everyone you can see."

Those who can enter the Scarlet Flame Dragon Rider are all absolute elites. Not only are they strong, but they also have outstanding martial skills, and they are no strangers to riding and shooting.

So they shot, instead of using traditional projectiles, but direct shots, fixed-point sniper kills.

Situ Yao's camp had already taken some prototypes. The wooden camp walls were full of archers, condescendingly aiming at the Red Flame Dragonriders below.

Although the Red Flame Dragonriders were in a low place, they didn't worry at all. The second wave of arrows fell on them, and they were also bounced off by the armor. They were waiting for the archer on the opposite side to finish shooting the wave of arrows. , Immediately bent his bow and set an arrow, aimed at the archer on the camp wall and shot directly.

"Whoosh!"

The specially made bows and arrows in the riders of the Red Flame Dragon were almost drawn into a circle by them. Although they were using ordinary arrows now, it didn't affect the shooting range much.

As they let go of the bowstring in their hands, arrows, like shooting stars, pierced through their bodies before the soldiers on the city wall could react.

After a volley, nearly a thousand archers on the city wall fell down immediately. As for the remaining archers seeing this scene, they immediately squatted down and hid behind the camp wall, daring not to raise their heads. .

There were only 5000 Red Flame Dragon Riders holding bows and arrows, and it was so hard that Situ Yao's camp of more than [-] people dared not look up.

"Don't rush, keep shooting!"

Although the wooden camp gate was as fragile as straw to Yang Yanzhang, Yang Yanzhang did not lead his army into Situ Yao's camp in a hurry, but ordered the Red Flame Dragonrider to continue shooting arrows.

Even he himself reined in his horse and stopped, then took out his own bow and arrow, and aimed it in the direction of the camp wall, without even aiming at it, he just shot it out with one arrow.

The camp wall of Situ Yao's camp is made of hardwood with the thickness of a bowl. Two pieces of this kind of hardwood are staggered up and down, and then tied together to form a layer. Although the defensive ability of this wooden camp wall is incomparable to that of masonry walls , but it is enough to resist ordinary arrows.

But the problem is that the bow and arrow in Yang Yanzhang's hand was specially made by the Military Weapons Bureau. Even if he used an ordinary metal-tipped arrow just now, it was enough to break through the defense of the camp wall.

Therefore, even though the archers had shrunk under the camp wall, they still couldn't dodge Yang Yanzhang's arrow.

As Yang Yanzhang's arrows sank into the camp wall, the archer who was huddled under the camp wall suddenly let out a scream. Judging from the sound, although the man would not be killed on the spot, his injuries would definitely not be serious. .

After seeing Yang Yanzhang's actions, the rest of the Red Flame Dragon Knights followed suit. Even if those soldiers didn't show their faces, they still greeted the arrows in their hands.

"Awkward~"

As the arrows shot into the camp wall, apart from the sound of the wooden camp wall being shot through, there were endless screams behind the camp wall.

These continuous screams made the soldiers hiding under the camp wall realize that the seemingly solid camp wall could not bring them any protection.

The war supervisor, who was going to urge them to stand up and fight back, didn't dare to speak after seeing this situation.

After all, with the archers dead and injured so seriously, if they dared to force the archers to stand up and fight forcefully, they would mutiny, so they silently stepped back a few steps, not daring to speak.

And if they didn't speak, it didn't mean that those archers would just stay inside the camp walls and wait to die.

They were not elites in the first place, but now looking at the dead robes beside them, and the battalion wall full of mourners, these archers collapsed in an instant.

Those archers who were not injured stood up and were about to run under the camp wall.

Seeing this scene, the face of the supervising team changed instantly. They could tolerate these archers hiding under the camp wall waiting to die, but they would not let these archers leave the camp without a military order.

What's more, these archers have obviously lost their minds. If they are allowed to go on, they might attack the camp. If something happens, they will lose their heads.

So they directly pulled out their waist knives and sternly shouted: "Back back, don't run away!"

"Those with shields hide behind them, and those without shields pick up shields by themselves. As long as there are shields, you will not be in danger!"

The tragic situation on the camp wall has completely made these archers lose their minds, so even if what the supervising team said is true, they can't listen to it at all, and rushed directly to the supervising team's sharp blade.

"Death to the escapee!"

The captain of the supervising team snarled, and then mercilessly hacked to death a soldier who rushed over. Following his attack, the rest of the supervising team also beheaded the rushing archer to the ground. In an instant, there were more than a dozen corpses.

This bloody scene directly stimulated the fleeing archers, making them wake up immediately, and immediately stopped their forward steps.

But they saw it, but the people behind them didn't see anything, and continued to squeeze forward with their heads depressed. Even some archers who lost their minds were unwilling to even walk the steps of the camp wall, and jumped directly from the camp wall. go down.

After falling from the nearly ten-meter-high camp wall, the soldiers were smashed to pieces.

But with them at the bottom, the soldiers behind would not be seriously injured if they fell down. Seeing this scene, many soldiers who were facing death threats followed suit and jumped directly from the camp wall.

At the same time, there were also many soldiers on the supervisory team, who were forced to squeeze towards the supervisory team. In order not to be killed by the supervisory team, many people subconsciously touched their weapons and wanted to kill the supervisory team directly.

Seeing that the situation on the camp wall was about to become uncontrollable, a wave of arrows rained down from the sky, landed in front of the supervising team, and directly emptied the soldiers who wanted to flee.

And those soldiers who jumped off the wall were also rushed up by a group of soldiers in armor and killed them one by one.

"Go back, everyone, get your shields, stay under the camp wall, if you dare to run around, you will be killed without mercy!"

Tu Yu stood under the camp wall with furious hair and beard. This roar spread almost half of the camp wall. The soldiers above saw that it was Tu Yu who spoke, and with Tu Yu's merciless attack just now, They immediately shrank back in fright, then picked up their shields and hid silently under the camp wall.

The archers were protected by shield soldiers. Although the ordinary arrows shot by the Red Flame Dragonriders could penetrate the wooden camp walls, they couldn't penetrate the metal shields.

It's just that when they stood up to shoot, the red flame dragon knight's arrows were so accurate that the shield hand couldn't protect them at all, and after they squatted down, they didn't expect the red flame dragon knight's arrows to shoot through the camp wall. The shields are all gathered on the head, and there is no defense against the arrows that can penetrate the camp wall, so it will bring such a big loss to these soldiers.

At this time, as they put their shields on the camp wall, the casualties of soldiers on the camp wall suddenly became much smaller.

Just looking at the arrows that couldn't be nailed in, and the screams that had gradually subsided, Yang Yanzhang realized what happened in an instant. A smile appeared on his face, and then he stopped the Red Flame Dragon Knight from continuing to shoot arrows, and then sent an order: "Change to projectile, above the target camp wall, collectively project a wave."

"After the first wave, Geng Qi, you lead half of the people to shoot, and Xin Yan, you lead half of the people to shoot flat."

In the army, a shield soldier usually protects one or more archers, so Yang Yanzhang directly changed the attack method into two types, and he looked backward to see how these shield soldiers could protect these archers.

"Whoosh whoosh~"

After the rain of arrows fell, the sudden change of attack method caused another burst of screams.

"Master, it's not an option to go on like this!"

Seeing the tragic situation on the camp wall, the lieutenant beside Tu Yu suddenly became anxious, and said, "If they are allowed to continue attacking like this, even if the archers on the camp wall don't collapse, they will have to kill them."

"Why don't you take down the archers first?"

"Archers cannot retreat."

Tu Yu's face sank like water. Although he had been reminded by the teacher, he was still a little insufficiently prepared. If he withdrew the archers at this time, exposing the emptiness in the camp, those terrifying cavalrymen would come directly in the next moment. up.

Tu Yu couldn't bear the consequences of being attacked by them, so even if those archers were about to collapse, he would not order them to take a step back.

Thinking of this, Tu Yu turned around and asked the person behind him, "How is the adjustment of the trebuchet? Has the angle been adjusted yet?"

"OK OK."

The man who was urged by Tu Yu remembered sweating profusely, and quickly replied: "Although there may be some errors, it should be no problem to hit the front of the camp wall."

"Okay, launch now!"

"Here."

Hearing Tu Yu's order, a stone on the table was immediately moved to the trebuchet, and as the pulling rope was cut, the stone smashed towards the Yuzhi army with the sound of howling wind.
